I wanted to pass along, if you had not seen it already, a site rolled out by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, called PHE.gov - "for Public Health Emergency" - that you should check out. Broken down into target areas to assist public health and emergency management officials, the site contains a wealth of vetted links and info for health and med services support, specific info for fed/state/local planners, medical countermeasures, international prep and response, context docs for public health emergency response and detailed info on a wide range of subjects for responders, clinicians and practitioners.
In addition, the PHE coordinators are rolling out a complement of social media sites to augment the "hub" of PHE.gov including a PHE Facebook site, PHE Twitter Feed, PHE YouTube. One of the cooler things the site has accomplished is tackling the problem of a central resource for links to other State public health social media sites and outlets (which can be found at http://www.phe.gov/emergency/news/multimedia/Pages/statesocialmediasites.aspx). As a state agency involved in emergency management and operating in close coordination with our Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, it is very interesting to have a one-stop to see what our colleagues around the nation are doing with social media and online outreach and emergency notification.
Too, on the site, you will find links to the the latest National Situation Update and info regarding declared disasters and emergencies. Whether you are interested in all-hazard health threats, food safety, air and water quality info or mental health issues and support, related to emergency management, there is something for you here.
So, take a minute and check out PHE.gov.
I wanted to pass on the following release from our partners at the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management Unit in Grand Junction, CO.
It is fire season in the West. There are large wildfires burning in several western states including three in Colorado.
Since the first of May, fire crews from the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management Unit (UCR) have responded to 25 reports of unattended campfires, with several burning well beyond the fire ring they were built in.
Officials for the UCR report that forecasted fire danger over the next few days and for the July 4th weekend ranges from Moderate to Very High. While there are no fire restrictions in effect at this time, all recreationists are urged to exercise caution with open campfires, leaving no fire unattended and to make sure fires are completely out prior to leaving them. Avoid building fires you don't need; however if you do, it's recommended that you build campfires only in established fire rings within established recreation facilities. Recreationists should have plenty of water and a shovel near any fire while it is burning, and use plenty of water to put it out. Make sure the ashes have stopped sizzling and are cold to the touch before leaving the area.
Fire managers have the flexibility to manage naturally started fires for multiple objectives, including allowing fire to play its natural, beneficial role in the ecosystem. However, all human-caused fires are suppressed are suppressed by firefighters and fully investigated. Human-caused fires often occur in areas with a greater potential to harm life and property.
Fire officials want folks to enjoy their time outdoors; however, they also remind visitors that unattended campfires are not the only way human-caused wildfires get started. Smoking in brush area, heat from vehicle exhaust and converters, fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices are also major causes of wildfire. The use of fireworks or similar devices is prohibited on federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service and the National Park Service.
The ongoing mountain pine beetle epidemic is creating a build-up of fuels in many areas, making the possibility of human-caused wildfire even greater. Not only is the potential greater, the outcomes could significantly more costly and damaging.
Fires should be reported by calling 911 or the UCR dispatch center in Grand Junction at 970-257-4800. Please be prepared to give as much information as possible regarding location and size of the fire when you report it.

Las Vegas First Asian-themed Lucky Dragon Casino-Resort Set To Open its Doors Ahead Of Schedule Date
Las Vegas First Asian-themed Lucky Dragon Casino-Resort Set To Open its Doors Ahead Of Schedule Date.lots of casino outfit are springing up and preparing for the December Chrismas Season.casino resort is not excuded in this unannounced preparation as they set to Open their door for the, First Asian-themed Ahead Of Schedule Date as announce.
According to Worldcasino,
Casino-Resort in las Vegas, Ahead of its confirmed December 3 soft opening, the casino floor of the Asian-themed Lucky Dragon was already busy on Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Located on Sahara Ave. near the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, the property is unique in that it is the first casino resort designed from the ground up in Sin City since 2010 when The Cosmopolitan was completed. Another aspect that sets it apart from other casinos is its marketing focus almost exclusively to Asian customers.
Prior to a tour of the property given to the media earlier on Saturday, Dave Jacoby, the casino's chief operating officer told reporters that the Lucky Dragon "is something completely unique, not only in Las Vegas but in the world," and, "This one-of-a-kind centerpiece of the resort will welcome guests from around the world to our gaming floor and provide good fortune and warm hospitality to all of Lucky Dragon's guests," according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
While Chinese culture is the property's main focus, Lucky Dragon's Vice President of Marketing Jordan Seager, who addressed reporters in Mandarin, said that when signing up for the player rewards program at the casino, customers will be asked what language they prefer. The casino will do its best to cater to the individual needs of the customer, whether it be English, Korean, Tagalog, or Vietnamese, according to Vegas Inc.
Four factors contribute to the Lucky Dragon's authenticity; food, the hotel, gaming, and hospitality. The property's five restaurants include:
• Dragon's Alley, which is inspired by the night markets that dot the streets throughout Asia and will feature regional delicacies, fresh seafood, dim sum, and more.
• Pearl Ocean, which will serve all-day dim sum cart service and include a live seafood room, where guests can choose from among a selection of exotic seafood flown in daily.
• Phoenix, with fine dining seating for 60, a private balcony, and an impressive wine list, will feature a menu of the latest culinary trends found throughout China.
• Cha Garden, a blending of Lucky Dragon's pool area and hotel lobby into a lounge area and indoor/outdoor Feng Shui-designed tea garden, which is led by the only tea sommelier in Las Vegas.
• Bao Now, open 24 hours and located adjacent to the main gaming floor, will feature a diverse offering of teas and coffees, as well as dim sum, noodles, soups, congee, and other dishes suited for eating on the go.
The property's nine-story 200-room hotel includes 22 suites, and is without a fourth floor because the number four is regarded by the Chinses as unlucky, as well as a pool and a spa that includes four treatment rooms.
With a focus on table games, Lucky Dragon's 27,500 square foot casino features 27 table games such as Baccarat and Pai Gow and a few "Western-style" tables like blackjack, 300 slot machines, and the Emerald Room, a high limit gaming area and luxury VIP gaming parlor.
The atrium level overlooks the casino floor and onto the centerpiece of the property, a one and a quarter-ton glass dragon sculpture (pictured) designed and constructed by Preciosa Lighting that is surrounded by glass orbs and is suspended above the casino's center bar. The one-of-a-kind lucky dragon was installed earlier this month. The centerpiece required twelve 40-hour workweeks of nearly 800 employees to create and took 13 days to assemble after its 7,000-mile journey from Crystal Valley in the Czech Republic.
A grand opening celebration complete with several celebratory events is still planned for December 3.

Well, maybe you are, but not in the way you think.
A recent survey of more than 2,000 managers and employees in 10 different countries found that employees increasingly depend on technology to communicate with their colleagues, including email (45 percent), text messaging (15 percent) and instant messaging (12 percent).
Of those who cited email, more than 40 percent said they felt lonely always or often, were not engaged and had a high need for social connection.
Dan Schawbel, author of "Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation," offered Reuters these tips on working remotely, managing technology and building a collaborative workplace.
Q. Is there a dark side of working remotely?
A. One-third of workers in the U.S. often work remotely. The number of remote workers is up 115 percent in the past decade. But just 5 percent of these workers see themselves staying at the same company for their entire career.
While we want flexibility so much, there is a tradeoff. Our research shows that remote workers are more likely to quit because of loneliness as well as low engagement. The reason why (co-working space) WeWork exists is because people want the human connection. Otherwise, people would just work from home.
Q. Is there a "right way" to work offsite and keep remote workers engaged?
A. These employees will work harder if they have a sense of connection. For managers, it is important to let a remote worker lead the meeting. It's so simple and brilliant at the same time. It also makes sense to fly remote workers in once a year for an offsite or social event.
And be sure to use video conferencing often for meetings - you get to see and hear someone, which is much better than an email. It also forces you to dress like you are in the office. If you dress the part, you act the part.
Q. How can we maximize our time when we are in the office?
A. When you are working, you need time to focus, think deeply and pay attention to your words, thoughts and ideas. You also need collaborative time to share those ideas.
The actual work is important. But it's also crucial to cultivate friendships. The workplace survey I led, which was conducted by my company Future Workplace, an HR advisory firm, and Virgin Pulse, a digital health company, found that 7 percent of all employees globally have no friends at work and over half have five or fewer total friends.
The majority of people (60 percent) said they would be more likely stay with their company longer if they had more friends.
This was especially true for younger employees. Gen Z (74 percent) and millennials (69 percent) say they would be inclined to stay with their company longer if they had more friends than Gen X (59 percent) and baby boomers (40 percent).
You will never be able to replace face-to-face interactions at work. Once you are in a room - at a meeting, event, or even celebrating a birthday at work - be present. Put down your phone and actually talk to people.
Q. People spend so much time at work. What is the best way to avoid burnout?
A. Even if you love your job, everyone needs a break. That is why some interesting things are happening around the world to combat burnout. For example, in Finland and in the United Kingdom, they are looking at a four-day work week. In France, you actually have the right to disconnect - workers there don't have to answer email on the weekends or after work hours.
In Japan, every Japanese citizen gets the right to take Monday mornings off.
Overall, it is about what you do, and who you do it with. The people you choose to work with are more important than the work you do. Even if you love your work, and it gives you purpose, toxic co-workers will make it unbearable.
For example, in Finland and in the United Kingdom, they are looking at a four-day work week.
Now THAT is a brilliant idea!
Yeah, what? I've never heard anything like this, is it part of the labor law?
In Japan, every Japanese citizen gets the right to take Monday mornings off, according to one self employed individual working from home in a company of one who waives this right as he can't afford to take time off and will probably move into a box under a bridge next financial year.
This is the very first time I have heard of this. Really?
As for the number of e-mails, there seem to be more people who prefer to send e-mails rather than talk in person with their co-workers. The sheer number of non-relevant e-mails CC-ed every day in my division is overwhelming. The worrying thing is that even when it is obvious that many people cannot and eventually don't bother reading all the mails CC-ed to them and it is obvious that efficiency suffers, the mailers persist in avoiding face-to-face communication. And We sit just about 2 meters apart from one another!
Shining Monday: Come into work late as long as it does not negatively impact the company. It's not a law, more of a suggestion from the Abe administration.
Premium Friday: Go home early on Friday as long as it does not negatively impact the company. Another suggestion that came before Shining Monday.
Apparently 11.2% of survey workers took Premium Friday last year. 96% of those workers also said they had to work extra hours towards the end of the month because going home early made them too busy during the remainder of the month.
Haha, yeah you have the right to be unemployed to with your Mondays off.
Good tips on working with others though.

Some of the notes used for the program, the excerpts from Bede's Eccleiastical History and the Chronicles of Ireland, follow below.
The following notes represent the citations from various books quoted by William Finck during the audio presentation. The writings of Bede, Gildas and Nennius are found in the References section here at Christogenea.
Two-Seedline Christian Identity teachings are found in some of the earliest writings of the Church Fathers. But it is the greatest of Biblical Truths and therefore the most oppressed and persecuted. Ultimately, the attitudes of the Alexandrian universalists prevailed because they were the most useul for both the Jews and the Roman Imperialists.
Again, therefore, some venomous and false hypocrites, who plotted against righteousness, He once called "a brood of vipers." But if one of those serpents even is willing to repent, and follows the Word, he becomes a man of God.
The universalist position of Scripture was expressed by Clement of Alexandria, and after him it was continued by his student Origen, another Alexandrian, and then by Eusebius. By the time of Eusebius, it seems to be the only position he could imagine, although he neglected to mention at least some of his own theological opponents, such as Methodius of Olympus.
Above: An illustration from an English tax roll, an Exchequer Roll, from the year 1233 AD.The devils are Jews, and the Jew was the source of revenue and taxes for the King.
This program is based on the article found at Heretical Press titled The Edict of Expulsion of 1290. Many of the original Medieval sources cited by Arnold Leese and Geoffrey Smith in that article are available freely online.
These include the Chancery Rolls and other documents of the English kings, which are available in facsimile format online and are indexed in several places, including the Medieval English Genealogy website and Medieval Genealogy Resources at Google.
No matter the invasion, the conquered or the conqueror, it has always been the treachery of the native kings, nobles or chieftains by which Britain was overrun by foreigners, whether they were Romans or Saxons or Normans. The same thing is true of the non-White hordes who are overrunning Britain today.
The Anglo-Saxon laws against usury were also very severe. Edward the Confessor outlawed usurers and confiscated their property; and [300 years later] Edward the First took such stringent steps to put an end to what was considered a great evil that he hanged 280 Jews and banished another fifteen thousand in one year - in fact, the opposition of the Catholic and also the Reformed Church with regard to this matter was so strong that it was considered un-Christian to take interest for money lent; and the consequence was that a liberal interpretation was put upon the Mosaic law to which I have referred, and the business fell principally into the hands of the Jews. It was held that, while a Jew might not take interest from another Jew, he was at liberty to get all he could from a stranger. Well, the fifteen thousand Jews were banished in one year, and no Jews were allowed to return to England until the time of Cromwell. That shows the view taken in England at that time in regard to the practice. It was left to Henry the Eighth to be the first to legalise usury in England, and he fixed the rate at 10 per cent. But his son, Edward the Sixth, a few years afterwards, repealed it: he did not believe in it; but when Elizabeth, the virgin Queen, came to the throne, she revived the statute of her father. James the First reduced the rate of interest to 8 per cent., Cromwell to 6, and Anne to 5; and since then usury has continued to exist and flourish.
Henry the VIII was raising money for wars in Europe, and he was at first relying on benevolences and the taking of loans without intentions on paying them back to do so. Benevolences were the extorting of "free will offerings" by the king from his subjects.
1609 The money changers in the Netherlands establish the first central bank in history, in Amsterdam.


The Craftsman style orginated in the late 1800s and early 1900s. During this time, the United States experienced a renaissance of handcrafted items that later came to be known as the Arts and Crafts movement. The Craftsman style, with its reliance on finely crafted details, is the architectural symbol of this movement. Craftsman homes feature hipped, multi-gabled roofs, decorative stonework and woodwork, large, relaxing front porches, wide windows and many other rich details. This style is perfect for homeowners who not only like more traditionally themed homes, but also for those who prefer practical, simplistic designs. Because these homes are designed to showcase fine materials and excellent craftsmanship, most Craftsman homes feature beautiful amenities like built-in cabinetry, brick or stone fireplaces, breakfast nooks and more.

Poor Leadership, Cause of Africa's Under Development - Adinuba
By Ikeugonna Eleke
The Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C Don Adinuba, has identified poor leadership as one of the problems slowing growth and development in Africa.
Adinuba who spoke while delivering a lecture at the 2019 Ogbakoha Lecture in his country home, Ihiala, said Africans had to develop the right consciousness about leadership from the lowest unit of organization in society to the highest.
He said there were many concepts and practices like transparency which could help create the right leadership consciousness among African leaders and their followers.
Speaking on the theme - Leadership Desiderata for Africa, Adinuba identified five leadership traits that would be necessary for Africa's development; both in private and public sector, to include simplicity, humility, working for common good, competitiveness, and service above self.'
He said that African leaders had over the years failed to appreciate the true challenge of leadership in the 21st century.
Adinuba noted that leadership failure in Africa was not only caused by the political class alone but also the followers, and called for a paradigm shift in the leadership structure of Africa among African leaders, and the need to set competitive targets on development to reverse the increasing acute development crisis on the continent.
The Coordinator of Ogbakoha Lectures, Dr. Chijioke Agbasiere, described the lecture as apt, noting that it focused on five fundamental leadership Desiderata to guide governance.
He said attention should be given to leadership which, he said, was the most challenging problem confronting African countries, particularly Nigeria, while encouraging the participation of patriotic citizens in politics to champion the cause of development which improved the well-being of the people.

Week 65 has been wonderful! I had a great weekend, filled with bike rides, walks with Sofi, spending time with friends, watching my 49ers win, and relaxing after a very busy first week on the new job. So far this work week has been really productive. I'm finding my rhythm as I meet with new teachers, gather resources for them, and keep track of all the notes and paperwork. I can already tell I'm going to love this new position, and I'm so glad that I took the chance and went for one of my goals. Monday I rewarded myself with a shopping spree at Dress Barn, buying tons of new clothes for my fall wardrobe. The neat thing about this shopping trip was that I think these clothes might last for more than one season. I'm wearing tops/sweaters in size medium and small (SMALL!!!!!), skirts in medium, and 2 pairs of pants in a size 10! I got a great camel-color water-resistant hooded trench in a medium that I can't wait to wear because it's so flattering.
When I weighed in this morning, I was 173.6, which is a loss of 1.6 pounds this week***, and a loss of 103.4 lbs since surgery! I've lost a total of 141.4 pounds from my highest weight!! I have 23.6 pounds to go to my ultimate goal weight of 150 pounds. ***The cool thing about this loss is that it only reflects the last two days, because my last weigh-in was on Sunday. 1.6 pounds in two days is phenomenal! I'm on a losing streak, and I'm loving it! Especially considering how busy my days have suddenly become.
What am I doing differently? Lately I've been concentrating on making sure to get several servings of veggies in with most meals, and I think that's making a big difference. I'm still allowing myself the popcorn I love, but only a few times a week. And of course, protein is at the heart of every meal I eat. And I'm still getting plenty of exercise and drinking lots of water. Still, I've also been having a few glasses of wine on the weekend, but that doesn't seem to be affecting my weight loss in the least, which is nice. I love this lifestyle that I've created!
In terms of exercise, I've been really proud of the workouts I've been fitting in. I did wake up early on Monday to get in a before-work sweat session, which left me feeling super energized and positive all day long. Most days I've worked out in the afternoon, and I enjoy those after work sessions as a way to transition from work mode to relax mode. As long as I'm getting a workout in, I'm ok with whatever time of day it is. I actually enjoy working out now, so I look forward to moving my body, rather than dreading it as I used to. I really think one of the reasons is the communities of support that I'm part of on MyFitnessPal and Instagram. I love snapping post-workout pics and tagging them with with my ToneItUp hashtags, and seeing all my #TIUsisters' posts, too. On MFP, every time I workout it posts a status, and the outpouring of love I get from my pals spurs me on and makes me smile.
As much as I've absolutely enjoyed this summer, I have to admit I'm really looking forward to the true start of autumn. The crisp, cool mornings and evenings. The sunny days that aren't ever too warm. The changing colors of the leaves, the decorations, and the outfits. Not to mention all the fun that comes with football season, pumpkin patches, Halloween, and simply sipping cups of coffee, tea, and maybe even a pumpkin spice latte or two. This year I think I'd like to go apple picking, because it just sounds like so much fun and I've never done it before. What are some quintessential fall things you love to do at this time of year? Help me create a fall bucket list.

The 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Begins
Or rather it starts on the 15th of April with the 16 teams who have qualified looking for the ultimate glory on ice. Thi season 5 Canadian teams have made it to the playoffs, finally having enough teams to account for the game usually dominated in numbers by Canadian players. Calgary, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa qualified for the playoffs while Edmonton & Toronto sit on the sidelines.
As usual I will be supporting my team the Ottawa Senators and if they get beaten and the Jets are still in it I will be screaming for Winnipeg. Canadian teams all the way. I haven't watched any live games since 2013 and haven't even followed the league games this season at all but I will be keeping an eye on the playoffs. GO SENS GO!

Senators Calling For Football Style Cheering Section
Posted on September 13, 2014 by Roshan Leave a comment
According to news reports from the Canadian capital, the Ottawa Senators are looking to create a soccer (football)-style atmosphere at the Canadian Tire Centre this season. In order to boost the team and regular fans who haven't had much to cheer in the last few seasons, the Sens are hoping this boisterous loud support will work to their advantage. Section 319 will be cordoned off for the Red Scarf Union – the team's official fan group – for 10 games this season, according to Chris Hofley of the Ottawa Sun.
The "official supporters section" will allow standing, chanting, signage and supporters will be encouraged to generate as much noise (and maybe a little hatred toward the opposing team) as possible. Ottawa may be tip-toeing into the idea, but creativity appears necessary for the Senators; they are the only Canadian franchise that has experienced attendance issues over the past few seasons.
Well we do need something. With owner Eugene Melnyk unable to pump in enough money to buy or trade for top players who can score goals and letting go of some of our marquee names, the fans need something. Lean years are ahead!

Hello Hemsky
Posted on March 6, 2014 March 6, 2014 by Roshan Leave a comment
Not really the player I wanted to be traded to the Ottawa Senators but the Edmonton Oilers have traded forward Ales Hemsky to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2015 third-round draft pick and a 2014 fifth-rounder. Edmonton is believed to be retaining half of Hemsky's remaining 2013-14 salary to complete the deal.
In 55 games with the Oilers this season, Hemsky has scored nine goals and added 17 assists. Hemsky has long been a subject of trade rumours that had him moving on from the Oilers, who made him the 13th overall selection in the first round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. He is in the final year of a two-year, $10 million deal he signed with the Oilers prior to the 2012-13 season.
In 652 NHL games, Hemsky has scored 142 goals and 335 assists, he has also played in 30 playoff games during his career. The Pardubice, Czech Republic native has two 20-goal seasons in his career and also produced a career high 77 points during the 2005-06 season, helping lead the Oilers into the Stanley Cup Final where they were defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Ottawa Senators have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $2.5 million per season with defenceman Chris Phillips. Phillips' deal reportedly includes a no-trade clause. The 35-year-old has appeared in 52 games with the Senators this season, scoring one goal and 12 assists.

Ottawa Senators Update, 24th Oct 2013
After the emotional down of seeing longtime captain Daniel Alfredsson refusing to sign a new contract with Ottawa and leave for Detroit and sign with the Red Wings in who he thought had more chances of winning the Stanley Cup, this result could not have been any more justice to the Sens fans. Jason Spezza was tasked with taking over for Alfredsson as captain, and newly signed Bobby Ryan with filling the void as a scoring winger. In the Senators' first game against Alfredsson and the Detroit Red Wings, Spezza and Ryan fittingly spearheaded an impressive offensive display in a 6-1 blowout at Joe Louis Arena. The only thing that could make the win sweater is if the game had been in Ottawa.
Those performances made it easier to forget about Alfredsson. While the players & coach Paul McLean might play down the significance of facing the former face of the franchise, the results are certainly welcome. Ottawa hasn't had a great start to the season but seem ready to make a push to make the playoffs this season as well. After 9 games played the Senators have 10 points and sit in the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference. But they have 4 wins and 5 loses, 2 of which were in OT. I seem them slowly getting more wins and racking up the points and could easily finish 5th or 6th.
Last 9 games (latest game first)
6-1 vs Detroit Red Wings (away)
1-3 vs Edmonton Oilers (home)
5-2 vs New Jersey Devils (home)
4-3 vs Phoenix Coyotes (away)
1-4 vs Anaheim Ducks (away)
2-3 vs San Jose Sharks (away)
3-4 vs Los Angeles Kings (away)
4-5 vs Toronto Maple Leafs (away)
1-0 vs Buffalo Sabres (away)

Bye Bye Alfredsson, Hello Bobby & Clarke
Posted on July 6, 2013 by Roshan Leave a comment
I tweeted "Say it ain't so Alfie" last evening hoping that the news wasn't true. But it was and it hurt. After 17 years as a Senator the captain chose to go with a team who he thought had more chances of winning the Stanley Cup. The Daniel Alfredsson era in Ottawa came to an end after the Senators long-time captain agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Detroit Red Wings. A few hours later, the Senators made another splash, landing star forward Bobby Ryan in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks. In exchange for Ryan, the Senators sent Jakob Silfverberg, forward prospect Stefan Noesen and a first round pick to Anaheim. Alfredsson had spent his entire 17-season NHL career with the Senators. He scored 10 goals and 16 assists in 47 games last regular season and added four goals and 10 points in 10 playoff games.
The native of Gothenburg, Sweden has spent his entire career with Ottawa, scoring 426 goals and adding 682 assists in 1,178 games. The 40-year-old veteran was originally selected in the sixth round by the Senators at the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. Ryan scored 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points last season. The Senators also brought in free agent left-winger Clarke MacArthur, who signed a two-year, $6.5 million deal. MacArthur, who was originally drafted 73rd overall by Buffalo in 2003, scored eight goals and 20 points for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season.

Ottawa Senators Update, 10th Feb 2013
Posted on February 10, 2013 by Roshan Leave a comment
Ottawa has had an eventful 7 games since the last update. The Senators closed off January with 2 successive wins on successive nights – a 3-2 against Washinton & a 5-1 against Montreal. But February didn't start on a good note as they lost 0-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes which was followed by a 1-2 loss to Montreal two days later. After those two away loses, the Sens players were grateful to come back home and score a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. This respite was short-lived however because they welcomed the Hurricanes to the Scotiabank center and lost 3-2 in overtime two days later.
And then last night there was the 0-1 loss to the visiting Winnipeg Jets who will be happy for the revenge for the season opener loss. After 12 games player Ottawa have dropped two spots on the standings (since the last update) and now sit at 6th in the East just below hated Ontario rivals the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ottawa has 6 wins, 4 loses and two OTs for 14 points. In the East New Jersey leads the pack with 17 points and sit at the top but Chicago has 20 points, leading the Eest and the league. In two nights we pay the Sabres at home and the very next evening we travel to Pittsburgh to play the Penguins. With Spezza injured, Kyle Turris & Erik Karlsson lead the points tally for Ottawa with 10 & 9 points respectively. Guillame Lantandrese is also out injured so we need Alfredsson & Michalek to get more goals for us.
Go Sens Go!

Ottawa Senators Update, 28th Jan 2013
Time to take a look at the Ottawa Senators and the way their new season has been going. Well this half season since there was a lockout between the NHL & the NHLPA and therefore until a new deal could be agreed upon there were no games! Finally the shortened season started on January 19th and after 5 games played let's look at the Senators, shall we?
On the 19th the Senators were in Winnipeg for the season opener with a 4-1 away win against the Jets who were celebrating their second season in the league after moving from Atlanta to Manitoba. Erik Karlsson had a goal and two assists as the Senators spoiled the Winnipeg Jets' home opener and pleasing coach Paul McLean. Milan Michalek, Kyle Turris and Chris Neil scored Ottawa's other goals. Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Jets. Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots for the Senators, while the Jets' Ondrej Pavelec faced 37 shots in front of a sellout crowd of 15,004 at MTS Centre. Guillame Lantandrese made his debut for Ottawa. Two days later Kyle Turrisis was back and raring to go as he scored two goals, while Jim O'Brien and Jakob Silfverberg added two more as Ottawa beat the Florida Panthers 4-0 in front of a sellout crowd of 19,952 Monday night at Scotiabank Place. Turris now has three goals in two games, while Silfverberg's goal was the first of his NHL career. 3 days later the Sens went to Florida and beat the Panthers 3-1. Anderson made 25 saves, and Chris Phillips and Erik Karlsson scored as the Senators improved to 3-0 while Jason Spezza added an empty netter.
The last two games haven't gone their way at all though. Friday Jan 25th saw them go down to Tampa Bay 4-6. Eric Condra, Spezza, Karlsson & Turris scored and kept the Sens ahead 4 goals to 2 heading into the 3rd period but the Lightning struck back and won. And just last night they lost in a penalty shootout to the Pittsburgh Penguins which atleast sees them earn a point. Colin Greening had the lone goal for the Senators, who dropped to 3-1-1, cancelling the lead that James Neal had given the Pens. But the Pens came out victors in the shootout.
This leaves us 4th in the Eastern Conference with 7 points.

Alfie To Stay One More Year With Senators
Posted on August 3, 2012 by Roshan Leave a comment
Thirty-nine-year-old captain Daniel Alfredsson stopped the speculation Tuesday and confirmed he won't be hanging up his skates. Instead, he'll put on his No. 11 sweater and return for his 17th season with the Senators. Alfredsson confirmed an Ottawa Sun report last week that he's been talking about an extension with GM Bryan Murray, but said he will play out the final year of his deal at his $1 million salary. That will make him one of the NHL's best bargains. Alfredsson said he made the decision last week and his wife Bibbi along with his four kids are fully supportive.
Alfredsson said he needed to test himself in rigorous off-season training to see if his body could withstand another NHL campaign before deciding whether to return. The result was positive. Alfredsson will return for a 17th season with the only NHL team he has known and where he has been captain since 1999-2000.
The gifted playmaker and scorer has amassed 416 goals, 666 assists for 1,082 points in 1,131 games — all team records. He holds the same records in the playoffs, with 111 games, 47 goals, 43 assists and 90 points. He had suggested he might retire after last season, when he had 27 goals and 32 assists in 75 games and helped Ottawa reach the playoffs. The Senators lost in seven games in the first round to the New York Rangers. He also said staying on for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia did not factor into his decision as it was too far in the future to contemplate. Alfredsson won Olympic gold in 2006 with Sweden.
Alfredsson's history goes back to the club's early years. He was drafted 133rd overall in 1994 by Ottawa, and won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 1996. The six-time all-star had a career-high 43 goals and 103 points in 2005-06.

Anderson Injures Hand; Out Indefinitely
The Ottawa Senators season was dealt a massive blow when Craig Anderson suffered a serious cut while preparing food at his home late Wednesday following a victory over the Washington Capitals. GM Bryan Murray could be forced to go shopping for a goalie — with Monday's trade deadline fast approaching – after the club's No. 1 netminder suffered his injury which could possibly put him out for several weeks.
While the Senators confirmed Anderson is out "indefinitely" but is expected to make a full recovery, sources told the Ottawa Sun he'll be gone 10 days and possibly more, and has to be examined by a specialist. A source said the worst-case scenario for this type of injury is 6-8 weeks. A source said surgery was required on the 30-year-old Anderson, who was still in hospital Thursday. He was supposed to sign autographs at an Orleans car dealership Thursday night and didn't show. The Senators are expected to recall goalie Robin Lehner from their AHL affiliate in Binghamton in time for practice Friday in Ottawa.
One of the NHL's busiest goalies, he has played in 27 of the club's past 28 games and 56 overall. A major part of the Senators' success, Anderson has a 29-19-6 record with a 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage. He's also coming off a 32-save performance in the 5-2 victory over the Capitals. Backup Alex Auld, meanwhile, has started just seven games this season, going 2-3-2 with a 3.28 GAA and a .883 save percentage.
Lehner's numbers with a young Binghamton team haven't been sparkling, either. After helping the Baby Sens win the Calder Cup last spring, Lehner is 8-16-1 this season with 3.38 GAA and .905 save percentage. As the Senators prepare to face the Boston Bruins Saturday at home, Murray has to decide whether he'll go get another goalie as insurance or stick it out with Auld and Lehner until Anderson is ready to return. The goalie market is thin – possible targets are Josh Harding, Evegni Nabakov or Antero Niittymaki.

Sens Update 21st Feb, 2012
The Ottawa Senators stands in 7th place in the Eastern Conference after 61 games played. They are at 70 points with 31 wins, 22 loses & 8 OTs with 185 goals scored against 180 goals conceded. That defence & goalkeeping need shoring up badly. But last night was a wonderful win for the Senators, 6-0 away against the New York Islanders.

Sens Update : Long Overdue
Posted on January 4, 2012 March 18, 2012 by Roshan Leave a comment
This season I haven't posted much about both my favourite teams – in football Arsenal FC & in hockey the Ottawa Senators. In the case of Arsenal it has been majorly only because of the fact that I don't get the two major sports channels for India, Espn & Star Sports, because of the stupid, lazy ass cable company Asianet's unwilling to pay for getting those channels. Hence I haven't watched a single game either live or recorded because my incompetent cable tv provider prefers to just keep showing idiotic Indian channels that have rehashes of the same kind of serials that bore the heck out of most of us.
But in the case of the Senators I have still watched the highlights of every game they've played this season (just like the last 2 seasons) online on the NHL's official Youtube channel. So no excuse there, even if I haven't watched a single full match. I dunno why but I just missed posting on them as these past 6 months I've concentrated more on movie & tv series reviews. Anyway, time to catch up on them. After struggling with a lineup squad that was predicted by most critics & experts to finish last in the league. And to be fair Ottawa are in a time of rebuilding, having sold off most of their bigger name & higher salary players. Fans were told to expect 2 or 3 seasons of finishing towards the bottom of the league while younger players & lesser known players take the time to gel and shape up. And as the season started that's where we were headed towards. 1 win in their first 6 games.
Then things picked up with a 5 wins in a row streak. Then they started losing again and then slowly started being more consistent. Now with 40 games played, the Senators find themselves in 6th place out in the East with 20 wins, 15 loses and 5 overtime loses and a total of 45 points! Jason Spezza has 14 goals & 26 assists, while captain Daniel Alfredsson has 12 goals & 16 assists. Milan Michalek has 19 goals while contributions have come in from Nick Foligno, Zack Smith & Colin Greening. The goalie situation is our weakest link still as both Alex Auld & Craig Anderson do not inspire the stuff of legends.
Will we win the Stanley Cup this year? No but we will reach the playoffs. We need to keep rebuilding and sign one or two high skill goal scorers, maybe a top defender and a solid no.1 goalie. Still it's very interesting at this stage. GO SENS GO!

Senators Season 2011-12 So Far
Posted on October 30, 2011 by Roshan 1 Comment
I do not know what to say about the Ottawa Senators this season. After unloading a whole lot of players last season, including crowd favourites, and signing up mostly players who fans of other teams have never heard of, it was no wonder that most critics & experts picked the team to finis last in the league come the end of the 2011-12 season. Let's face it – after top line trio Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza & Milan Michalek, who else did you expect to provide a steady stream of goals? So as I, like many other Sens fans I suppose, looked at a lot of star players being signed up by other teams and wondering when was it that my side was going to get 2 or 3 big name players, the Sens management signed 2nd & 3rd string players.
Doomed for this season? Playoff chances? Yes and None respectively were the answers that came up in my mind. So after the top 3 forwards our most known players are Chris Neil, defencemen Philip Kuba, Chris Philips & Sergie Gronchar. Two goalie who, let's face it, are actually competent back goalies for any other team in Craig Anderson & Alex Auld. Not the stuff of champs! And when the season started it looked like exactly what it was – a solitary win in their first 6 games, which was a 4-3 win against the Minnesota Wild. 5 Loses to Detroit (3-5), Toronto (5-6), Colorado (1-7), Washington (1-2) & Philadelphia (2-7) were devastating but not unexpected. But then; things changed.
5 Wins in a row. 4-1 vs Winnipeg, 4-3 against Columbus, 3-2 against Carolina, 4-3 against Florida & a 5-4 win against New York Rangers. Admittedly things are tight as we are leaking goals and 4 of those games were won by a 1 goal margin. But we are also scoring goals. Spezza & Michalek have 7 goals each, Alfredsson with 4 and Colin Greening with 3. With 12 points after 11 games played, Ottawa should now crack the top 8 in the East and if they build on these wins, who knows what can happen this season. But it's way too early to say as we have another 71 games to go. Go Sens Go!

Lalime Retires As Player, Will Be A Broadcaster
Posted on July 22, 2011 July 22, 2011 by Roshan Leave a comment
Former Ottawa Senators goaltender Patrick Lalime has retired from active hockey and will become an analyst on Ottawa Senators television broadcasts, the all-sports network RDS announced Wednesday on its website.
Lalime played 444 games for five teams over 12 NHL seasons, posting a 200-174-48 record with a career 2.58 goals-against average and .905 save percentage. The 37-year-old played seven games last season for the Buffalo Sabres. The St.Bonaventure, Que., native is best known for starting his career with a 16-game unbeaten run for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1996-97, and for his five seasons with the Senators. His best campaign was in 2002-03, when he won a club-record 39 games and helped Ottawa reach the Eastern Conference final. Lalime, who sits No. 1 on the franchise list of all-time wins (146), shutouts (30) and games between the pipes (283).
Lalime, who spent 5 years in Ottawa, will now settled down there with his wife and their 3 daughters. He also played in St. Louis and Chicago, and spent his last three seasons as Ryan Miller's backup in Buffalo. However, in 2010-11, he only saw action in seven games — which helped him also see the writing on the wall.
Lalime was acquired by the Senators during the summer of 1999 to be Ron Tugnutt's understudy, but he wound up playing 38 games that season and taking full control of the No. 1 role. The end for him in Ottawa came April 20, 2004, when his shaky play was the ugliest mark on a Game 7, first-round playoff loss to the Maple Leafs.
He played some great games for the Senators in between. Fans who sneer at that memory may forget that Lalime was also brilliant in the 2002 playoffs, when he allowed two goals in a five-game series win over the Flyers. Three consecutive shutouts have his name in the NHL record book.

Hope For Next Season
Posted on March 27, 2011 by Roshan Leave a comment
The Ottawa Senators may not be in the playoffs but their recent form gives us fans hope for the next season and beyond. If they can play this well and win games with this team that has a lot of call ups from Binghamton, imagine what they can do with a squad that is sure to get a few bigger name players next season! They were also assured a spot in the NHL draft lottery this spring.
A lot of the credit should go to goalie Craig Anderson, traded before the deadline a few weeks ago. Anderson has done a great job for the Senators and will surely look forward to being the starting goalie next season. On Friday night he recorded the 16th shutout of his career and his second in 12 games with Ottawa as he improved his record to 8-4-0 by blanking the Washington Capitals. The native of Park Ridge, Illinois had recently signed a 4 year contract extension with the Sens.
Because he is 29, I fully expect him to be a short term replacement maybe for Swedish youngster Robin Lerner. As the rebuilding process will see a lot of progress during the summer when the Senators use their picks in the draft and also look to shore up their ranks with a few signings, perhaps mostly on the unrestricted free agent side. There will be a few top caliber players available and perhaps looking for fresh starts at a different club. The Ottawa management will do their best and try to get a few younger players who can be folded into the rebuilding process and be long term answers for the Sens.
A few veteran players may also be looked at to provide the leadership for the next 2-3 years. A few names comes to mind as to who can do the job – Brad Richards, Jason Arnott and oh why not bring back Ottawa native & former Senator Todd White?

Kovalev Moves To Pittsburgh
Joining his former team mates in the exodus from Ottawa, Alexie Kovalev was the latest Senator to find a new team as he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 7th round conditional draft pick. Kovalev, who used to play with the Penguins for 5 seasons, said being involved again with a franchise run by Mario Lemieux made Pittsburgh a very attractive destination for him.
In the past month the Sens have shipped veterans Mike Fisher, Chris Kelly, Jarkko Ruutu and Brian Eliott out of town while receiving several draft picks but little in the way of actual players other than goalie Craig Anderson. An Olympic gold medalist with Russia in 1992, Kovalev has scored over 400 goals and recorded over 1000 points in his 18-year NHL career.
Earlier in the season Kovalev went public with his general unhappiness in Ottawa and openly complained about his role under head coach Cory Clouston who demoted Kovalev to the fourth line for a period of time. Although Murray could not define exactly why Kovalev never quite seemed comfortable in Ottawa, but admitted that his relationship with Clouston may have been a factor.
It has been a disappointing tenure for Kovalev in Ottawa after signing a two-year, $10 million deal with the team as a free agent in 2009; however the enigmatic Russian sniper has turned up his game as of late. He has 14 goals and 13 assists in 54 games this season. He waived his the 'no-trade' clause in his contract in order to get the deal with the Penguins done. He said his biggest regret was being unable to help turn things around in Ottawa.

Ottawa Ends Home Loss Skid
A depleted Ottawa Senators still managed to win 5-1 against the Florida Panthers & stop a 10-game home losing skid in the process. Wednesday night at Scotiabank Place new goalie Craig Anderson made 21 stops, Jason Spezza had a three-point night, Bobby Butler scored twice and Milan Michalek and Ryan Shannon also scored as the Senators won for the first time at Scotiabank Place since Dec. 26. Only Florida's Chris Higgins was able to beat Anderson, acquired from Colorado on Friday. It's only the fourth time this season the Senators have back-to-back victories.
Butler has got 5 goals in his last 5 games. A Senators' loss would have tied a franchise-worst record of 11 straight losses at home dating back to Dec, 1993 — the club's second year. The Senators finished the game without rugged winger Chris Neil. He left with a lower-body injury he suffered in the second period when he ran into the boards. A subject of trade talks heading into Monday's deadline and two Tampa scouts in the building, Neil went to throw a check and Keaton Ellerby moved. Neil ended up ramming himself into the boards.

The Senators will have a new No. 1 in net. Goaltender Brian Elliott became the latest goalie sent to a new home when he was dealt to the Colorado Avalanche Friday in exchange for goaltender Craig Anderson. While Anderson will be a UFA on July 1, the Senators are expected to sign the eight-year NHL veteran to a contract extension once the dust settles on the deal in the coming weeks.
Senators GM Bryan Murray said Anderson will arrive just before puck drop and dress as the backup to Robin Lehner tonight when the Senators meet the Boston Bruins at Scotiabank Place. Murray said he wants to give Robin Lehner time to develop a bit, as the 19 year old has shown promise but needs more games & space in between to grow into what the Sens hope will be a franchise goalie.
Coach Cory Clouston said he is pleased with the move and stated that it would be good for Elliot to get a fresh start in a new organization as he has had too much pressure in Ottawa. This is the fourth trade in just over a week for the Senators, who dealt Mike Fisher to Nashville for a first-round and a conditional draft pick; Chris Kelly to Boston for a second-round pick; and Jarkko Ruutu to the Anaheim Ducks for a sixth-round pick.

A Weekly Advocacy Message from Mary Woolley: First 100 Days
By researchamerica on January 10, 2013 | Leave a comment
Dear Research Advocate,
With all the conversation about the debt ceiling and tax and entitlement reform, it may surprise you to know that an additional topic is on many minds. A wide majority of Americans, 72%, say the new Congress and the president should take action to expand medical research within the first 100 days of the new legislative session. See this and more in America Speaks, Volume 13, a compilation of national poll data providing insights into public sentiment on key research-related issues. See our press release and download the full Poll Data Summary. These polling results are designed to be used in your advocacy and outreach!
Among the growing number of issues that need to be resolved by the new Congress is the medical device tax, which could send research jobs overseas and shrink a critical segment of our innovation economy. In The Hill, Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH) writes about the consequences the tax could have on the medical device industry, including the possibility of a massive decline in R&D investment. As our economy recovers, policy makers must better incentivize R&D investment to keep our nation competitive and ensure that companies are continuing to invest in life-saving research.
More on the first 100 days: As you know, the sequestration deadline has been moved two months, with another delay possible, and there is talk of other cuts to discretionary spending. The delay is terribly frustrating for those planning research investment and sends a very negative message to young scientists planning a career, but it does buy us more time to make our case. The Washington Post published an op-ed by three Washington, DC, institutional members of Research!America that argues compellingly for such funding. Take action now and do two things — collaborate with your local colleagues to write an op-ed for a local publication and send an email to your representatives. Tailor the alert we provide to let them know how cuts could affect your institution and your community.
For those of you in Georgia, the appointment of Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) as chairman of the committee that allocates most of the federal funding for biomedical and health research funding presents an important advocacy opportunity. Research!America is helping to facilitate collective action by Georgia institutions, and we would welcome your participation. Please contact Max Bronstein, director of science policy, if you haven't heard from us yet! Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss Rep. Kingston's record and prospects for the 113th Congress with Randy Barrett of the ScienceInsider.
Great news! The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision on behalf of patients and stem cell researchers, effectively bringing to a close the infamous Sherley v. Sebelius case that threatened federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. This decision marks a major victory for the stem cell research cause, but it is critical that all of us remain vigilant; actions at the state level could still curtail embryonic stem cell research. View our press statement on the decision and our updated resource page on stem cell research. We will be talking about the importance of stem cell research when we honor the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) at our upcoming Advocacy Awards dinner. See more about this March 13, 2013, event here.

Research!America President and CEO Mary Woolley Applauds Supreme Court's Dismissal of Embryonic Stem Cell Case
By researchamerica on January 9, 2013 | Leave a comment
The U.S. Supreme Court's dismissal of Sherley v. Sebelius, a case intended to block federal funding for scientists conducting embryonic stem cell research, is a victory for patients and the research community. This key decision will allow the continuation of federal funding from the National Institutes of Health, providing essential support for scientists to conduct lifesaving research. Embryonic stem cells, which can repair or replace damaged tissue and organs, have advanced research aimed at finding cures and therapies to treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders including vision impairment, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis. Clinical trials have also shown promising therapeutic applications to help fight cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and other disabling illnesses. We applaud the ruling and will continue to support such innovative research that could save millions of lives.

Supreme Court Rejects Request to Ban Federally Funded ESCR
The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday that it would not hear a case that challenged the legality of federally funded human embryonic stem cell research.
The case, Sherley v. Sebelius, was brought by two researchers of induced pluripotent stem cells, James Sherley, MD, PhD, and Theresa Deisher, PhD in 2009. They argued that guidelines concerning government funding of hESC, adopted by the Obama administration, were in violation of the 1996 Dickey-Wicker Amendment. The amendment forbids the Department of Health and Human Services — including the National Institutes of Health — from using appropriated funds to either create embryos for research purposes or conduct research in which embryos are destroyed.
After an initial ruling in 2010 in favor of the plaintiffs, an injunction was issued that allowed research to continue. Eventually, both the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found in favor of the government. The plaintiffs appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case and offered no further comment in Monday's order.
Stem cell research advocates were pleased with the ruling.
"This is a major victory for scientifically and ethically responsible innovative research," Bernard Siegel, spokesperson for the Stem Cell Action Coalition and executive director of the Genetics Policy Institute, said in a statement. "With the cloud of this case lifted, researchers can now rest assured that the challenge to the NIH's 2009 guidelines for funding for embryonic stem cell research is over. Patients and their advocates can now rejoice that this potentially life-saving research can proceed at the federal level."
The ruling is "a victory for scientists, patients and the entire biomedical research community. Science can now continue to move forward, knowing the threat to promising research and funding has been eliminated," said Amy Comstock Rick, president of the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, according to ScienceInsider.
In a statement, NIH Director Francis Collins, MD, PhD, reaffirmed the agency's dedication to ESCR.
"I am very pleased with today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to decline to review the Sherley v. Sebelius U.S. Court of Appeals ruling. This decision allows the ruling to stand, and enables NIH to continue conducting and funding stem cell research, following the strict ethical guidelines put in place in 2009. Patients and their families who look forward to new therapies to replace cells lost by disease or injury, or who may benefit from new drugs identified by screening using stem cells, should be reassured that NIH will continue supporting this promising research."

In a Brooklyn courtroom, the Yemeni sheik and his assistant sit in seats at a defense table occupied in thousands of past cases by mobsters, drug dealers and con artists.
But if the lives of those defendants may have been exotic to the judges and jurors who decided their fates, these two men, charged with financing terrorism, sometimes seem to be from a different world entirely.
The sheik, in his silk hat and flowing robes, has been heard in hours of secretly recorded videotapes talking in a convoluted style seldom heard in America. His meanings are elusive. His style is indirect.
Out of the blue, sometimes, will come tales from the Koran or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, the applicability of which can be obscure. In a conversation about a man who seemed to be offering a big donation to Muslim causes, the sheik, Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad, started a discourse on a battle from the time of the prophet.
"The reason for the conquest of Badr is this," he said to a visitor in a bugged hotel suite in Frankfurt, "because the prophet, may the peace and the blessing of God be upon him, took the camel herd of Quraysh." In the courtroom, no one has yet offered to explain the relevance of the taking of the camel herd.
The unfamiliar, combined with a staccato presentation by prosecutors, has meant that the sheik and his assistant, Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, remain enigmas.
As the third week of their trial begins tomorrow, they are mysterious figures, much as they were nearly two years ago when Attorney General John Ashcroft made worldwide headlines by announcing that the two Yemeni men had been charged with funneling money to Al Qaeda and Hamas, much of it raised in Brooklyn.
In the courtroom, they are solitary, hooked to the trial by earphones feeding them Arabic translations of the proceedings. Other than their lawyers and a single Yemeni diplomat, there is never anyone in the public rows for them.
Few details about their lives in Yemen have emerged. The 56-year-old sheik, the jurors have heard, has diabetes and asthma. He has sons who work at his mosque in Sana. He was once Yemen's deputy minister for the propagation of Islam.
If anything, Mr. Zayed is more of a riddle. On the tapes, he often appears not fully to grasp the meaning of things. The sheik sometimes made fun of him.
Mr. Zayed, on the tapes, asked if a man who had traveled for many hours from America to meet them in Frankfurt had come by plane. "No," the sheik answered, "he came by donkey?"
Mr. Zayed's life story has been reduced to a few sketchy facts. The jurors have heard that he is a father. He once worked on his father's farm. Now 31, he became the sheik's driver in 1995. The two men are related by marriage.
On the tapes, Mr. Zayed is often little more than a sounding board for the sheik. But he is almost always there at his boss's side, recorded on hidden microphones and cameras in Suite 6222 of the Sheraton hotel at the Frankfurt airport, where the men stayed for four days before they were arrested on Jan. 10, 2003.
Mr. Zayed often seemed only dimly aware of the meaning of events around him. After talking for much of the four days with an African-American man posing as a former Black Panther who wanted to contribute millions to terrorist groups, he was clearly confused.
A Yemeni man, one of the two informers who worked to catch the sheik and Mr. Zayed, mentioned the struggle of American blacks against discrimination and said the would-be contributor was "one of the big shots among the blacks" in America.
According to the prosecution translation, Mr. Zayed answered: "But he is white."
"Huh?" said the Yemeni, according to the translation. "No, no. Black."
Both the sheik and Mr. Zayed seem at a loss when confronted with the details of Western life. Mr. Zayed wondered aloud on the tapes what the power source might be for the hotel-room coffee maker.
The sheik was incredulous when he learned from the Yemeni informer that an apartment in New York might cost $2,000 a month. "No way, for an apartment?!" he said.
The two men have been in a Brooklyn jail since they were extradited from Germany in November 2003.
During the trial, the sheik sometimes removes his earphones and whispers to the only lawyer on the defense team who speaks Arabic. Even when his earphones are on, tucked behind his white beard, he can often be seen murmuring, evidently in quiet prayer.


Discussion in 'Team Introductions' started by -Borsty-, Apr 1, 2019.
Do you remember me? It is I, the one and only true Borsty!
You see, I have kidnapped your beloved moderators and brought the forum under my control. MUHAHAHA!
Soon I'll take over the FARMERAMA team as well and then – I'm going to rule the world!
And just to be clear, this is not some silly April's Fool joke! I'm serious like the evil gold toothed boar that I am!
Even if I'm an evil, evil boar, I'm not heartless. If you lovely farmers can offer me a good deal, I will leave the forum and you can return to your peaceful forum lives full of rainbows and unicorns!
So, what will you offer me? I love money – of course! – poems, art, creativity, football!
Come up with ideas to save your beloved moderators and I'll reward the 5 best ideas on top. As I've said, I might be evil, but I'm not heartless.

Sure thing Borsty, BUT here is a "WIN" for everyone.....A FEW LESS EVENTS would mean a few less FAQ's! You could hang around and do nothing as is your favorite pass time and WE the farmer could just FARM! Sounds like a GREAT DEAL to me!!
FrootloopGrove, AMN50, Cassie101 and 5 others like this.
Borsty, we need our mods back!
I'm launching a rescue of our mods. The Recyclomat just ended but I'm not fooled on the day of pranks. I know you have them held on the Nublons' spacecraft. Your crafty ways of playing dice games with the Weasel are no match for the Farmerama farmers.
As the interim head of the forum, you have to deal with all the 'complaints' from farmers about all these technical glitches and bugs that disrupt farming. Here are all the players impacted. Good luck sorting them out. It looks like the game has gone crazy. You will need to make some effort to resolve those issues timely.
In the meantime, I'm going to launch the rescue and get Suzy to reconnaissance the map to find where you have hidden the Nublons' craft. It will not matter if we have to travel by boat to Baha and then deep sea dive to find the purple submarine, tie ourselves to a kite or hot air balloon to chase down the windmill, or tractor race through the mud, we will find our mods and bring them home!

Boss!! It's me .. Gree D WeSell. What a great move to kidnap the forum moderators.. all forum members must be most greatfull to you and I'm sure they now owe you something of some kind. Borsty, you know me, I have a plan on my own in which you, the meanest Farmarama moderator kidnapper ever will be in the spotlights... not just today, forever!! Sounds great, doesn't it?
OK boss .. don't yell that loud, I hear you even when you whisper. Here's my secret plan: we let free the forum moderators and have them do their thing. Following the rules ain't something you Boss are good at anyways. So why bother a Farmerama Team takeover. In exchange for the moderators we demand the Game Team to create a Special Farming For Free Event, lasting a day, or two, or three, or as many days as you, Boss, want. Everyone will get everything for nothing and ALL of the revenue from it will go to you, the one and only true Borsty!
Thanks Boss for naming me clever but you're the smart one. Do you really think my idea sounds too good to be true? Great! Then it's time to act Boss! We have a deal.
Oh. on a side note, I've changed my name. For today only I'll go by Fun W. Give.

Amidst all our crazy Laos preparations, I took a side trip for another wine travel story for Selector Magazine. Can't say no to those.
Very early one frosty morning last weekend, I flew to Adelaide. It was in fact so frosty - -4 degrees at 6am - that our flight was grounded until the sun rose and warmed things up.
It occurred to me at that point that a) I could have stayed in bed a whole extra hour instead getting up at a ridiculous 4am; and b) if a frost in May grounds a plane, what's the plan when it's actually winter?
Whatevs. We arrived into Adelaide an hour late and it was warm and sunny. Lovely.
I had hired a car which turned out to be a revved up beast with leather interior and one of those small racing car steering wheels - cool extras that were entirely wasted on me. I managed to reverse into a wheelie bin as I was parking near The Parade at Norwood. A nice man came over and unhinged the bin from the back car door where it has somehow got wedged; I was essentially dragging it back and forth during my 10-point reverse park. The man turned out to be a driving instructor (what are the odds?) and gave me some parking advice. Adelaidians are so friendly.
One of my secret indulgences I like to partake in when I am sans infants is a leisurely brunch. Risque, I know. It reminds me of a different life years ago when I took such outings for granted. Which is why I was in Norwood, the only place I could recall off the top of my head for a likely weekend brunch spot.
I was not disappointed. Spotting a line of locals waiting outside Argo on the Parade, I immediately joined the throng. This is the advantage of dining alone - I skipped the queue and was seated straight away at a small outdoor table. Friendly staff raced around and I grabbed a menu - a very long one. I ordered my stock standard brunch option - a big veggie breakfast (with a side of bacon) and a pot of green tea.
Post-brekkie, far too full but enjoying the sunshine, I rolled off to visit friends in the Hills area of Stirling. It was full of people ambling around Sunday markets, and then further afield, of houses (aka mansions) that made my jaw drop.
There were also koalas! Which are so much more exciting than mansions.
Just snoring by my friends' driveway - imagine that!
The next day, bright and early, I set off for the main game - Langhorne Creek. This little known wine region is actually the third largest grape producing region in South Australia. The car rental lady (who was maybe about 25) had never heard of it, funnily enough.
Langhorne Creek - it really is that green!
Off the beaten track maybe but it really shouldn't be. Langhorne Creek is certainly worth a visit the next time you're in Adelaide - less than an hour's drive south. Or you can just read all about it in the Spring issue of Selector Mag. Either way, enjoy.

"Death Row differs from all other prisons in this one regard: it is the one prison in which everything happens outside of official time. Every other prisoner in the penitentiary is doing time; the condemned are suspended in a period between times when the official clocks are running. The clock stops the moment the judge announces the sentence of death; it resumes when the sentence is carried out, transformed into something else, or vacated entirely. The condemned live, as Donnie Crawford put it in the poem from which this book takes its title, in a 'timeless time,'" write Jackson and Christian.
The book is made up of three parts: photographs Jackson made in 1979; commentary written in 2010; and the story of how Jackson and Christian got access to a place from which outsiders are usually excluded, and some things that happened during the course of their fieldwork.


Microsoft and Qualcomm had officially announced the first ARM-powered Windows 10 laptops back in December last year with Snapdragon 835 SoC. Later this year at Computex 2018 in June, Qualcomm and Microsoft, announced the launch of new ARM-based laptops, tablets and 2-in-1 devices with the new Snapdragon 850 processor which was promised to be providing a significant 30% boost in performance over current devices running on the Snapdragon 835.
Now a fresh benchmarks result spotted by WinFutue from GeekBench shows an unknown Lenovo device reportedly running on the new Snapdragon 850 against the Asus NovaGo. And the result shows that in single-core Lenovo device gets a 2263 score, which is about 25% better than the 1802 points of the NovaGo.
However, on a single core test result, the new Snapdragon 845 chip didn't appear on the mark which was promised back in June, however, it is still not very far from the promise made.
What we can find interesting here is the 7.3% overall improvement when compared with the multi-core results, where the Snapdragon 850 got 6947 points while the Asus device got 6475.
