Reputed Gambino Crime Boss Shot To Death In New York City

BY MICHAEL R SISAK AND TOM HAYS, ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — The reputed boss of New York's Gambino crime family was shot to death in front of his home by a gunman who may have staged a car accident to lure him outside, dying a virtual unknown compared with his swaggering 1980s-era predecessor, John Gotti.
Police said Thursday they were reviewing surveillance-camera video of the attack on Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali, 53, who was gunned down Wednesday night at his red-brick colonial-style house in a quiet Staten Island neighborhood. The assailant sped off in a pickup truck, police said. No immediate arrests were made.
The motive for the attack was under investigation, police said.
Aggressive federal prosecutions in the past 25 years decimated the ranks of New York's five Mafia families. The cases resulted in long prison terms for their bosses — Gotti included — and encouraged their successors to keep a lower profile.
But the new generation still engages in old-school crimes — loansharking, gambling, extortion — that can make enemies and spark violence. This week, prosecutors in Brooklyn announced a case against a long-time Gambino associate accused of killing a suspected loanshark affiliated with the Lucchese crime family.
Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said there has been a slight uptick in alleged mob-related violence in New York within the last year. But he said it is too soon to say whether that had anything to do with Cali's slaying.
Shea said the mob boss emerged from his home around 9:15 p.m. after the gunman backed his pickup into Cali's Cadillac SUV, damaging it. "With what we know at this point in time, it's quite possible that was part of a plan," Shea said.
Video showed the assailant pulling a 9 mm handgun and opening fire on Cali about a minute after they started talking, according to Shea. At least 12 shots were fired. After getting shot several times, Cali tried to crawl under his SUV to hide, Shea said.
Federal prosecutors referred to Cali in court filings in recent years as the underboss of the Mafia's Gambino family, once one of the most powerful and feared crime organizations in the country. News accounts since 2015 said he had ascended to the top spot.
The last Mafia boss to be shot to death in New York City was Gambino don "Big Paul" Castellano, assassinated on Gotti's direction while getting out of a black limousine outside a high-end midtown Manhattan steakhouse in 1985. Gotti then took control of the family.
"We thought those days were over," Mayor Bill de Blasio said of Cali's slaying. "Very surprising, but I guess old habits die hard."
Jerry Capeci, a mob expert who writes for the ganglandnews.com website, said Thursday that Cali is part of a Siclian faction now in control of the Gambino family. Capeci said the killing "doesn't have the feel" of a Mafia-sanctioned hit.
"Frank Cali was a pretty likable guy, and also this is not a way the mob would kill one of their own," he said. "There are exceptions, but that's not the case with his guy."
Cali kept a much lower profile than Gotti and was killed in far less spectacular fashion than Castellano. He was shot on a tree-lined street in one of New York City's less-glamorous outer boroughs, a short walk from ball fields, a country club and a day camp.
Gotti, with his expensive double-breasted suits and overcoats and silvery swept-back hair, became known as the Dapper Don, his smiling face all over the tabloids. As prosecutors tried and failed to bring him down, he came to be called the Teflon Don.
In 1992, Gotti was convicted in Castellano's murder and a multitude of other crimes. He was sentenced to life in prison and died of cancer in 2002.
On Wednesday, hours before Cali was killed, the reputed boss and consigliere of the Bonanno crime family were acquitted in a Brooklyn racketeering and extortion case. In October, reputed Bonanno associate Sylvester Zottola was fatally shot while waiting for a cup of coffee at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Bronx.
Last week, the longtime boss of the Colombo crime family, 85-year-old Carmine "the Snake" Persico, died at a North Carolina hospital near the federal prison where he had been serving what was effectively a life sentence. Persico was convicted in a 1986 case overseen by then-U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Cali's only mob-related criminal conviction came a decade ago, when he pleaded guilty in an extortion scheme involving a failed attempt to build a NASCAR track on Staten Island. He was sentenced to 16 months behind bars and was released in 2009.
In that case, authorities intercepted conversations shedding light on his quiet underworld command. At a 2008 bail, a prosecutor said Cali was seen "as a man of influence and power by organized crime members in Italy."

Spirit of Villages Framed
Miao Ethnic Minority Festival Costumes
Miao festival clothes are appealing not only because of their unique styles and craftsmanship, but also because they reveal the rich Miao culture and its long history. Making a set of traditional Miao clothes can take a Miao woman 1-2 years. Without written script, Miao people have used their costumes to record their history. Different patterns and designs on the clothes retain rich meaning and refer to legendary stories about such things as their origins, wars, and religious beliefs.
Praying Monk
According to legend, when the lamas assembled in about 1549 to select a site for a monastery, a big white bird rose suddenly in the air and settled on a spur of a hill. This was interpreted as an important omen, and the hill was chosen as the site for a monastery and for Jakar Dzong, which roughly translates as "castle of the white bird."
Gross National Happiness can't be taught; it just exists as the core value of the people. These young girls were thrilled to display their joy of being. The scene became even more meaningful as I was witnessing the interaction between them. The older girls acted as pillars to the younger girls, not just physically by also spiritually.
Agriculture is the main industry in Myanmar, accounting for 60 percent of the GDP and employing some 65 percent of the labor force. Myanmar was once Asia's largest exporter of rice but lost its position to India and now is ranked at #10. Myanmar's agriculture has suffered from decades of neglect and lack of new techniques. They are still trying to implement techniques like GMO [Genetically Modified Organisms] without much success as farmers operate with traditional equipment in a labor-intensive setting.
Roadside Workers
They work six days per week; many of them are immigrants from India. The Bhutanese government hires them because they are dedicated to building the best roads. They live in mobile shacks, made of tin, with few to zero amenities. Families growing up on the side of the road are proud and grateful they have food. Their bonds are unbreakable.
Traditional Roof
Despite China's economic boom over the past decade, rural life has changed little in remote villages, except for the weather. In coastal China, stronger and unpredictable winds are damaging dwellings. Villagers are loading their roofs with rocks, held with cement. Even though the pitch of the roof is an optical illusion, their worries are real, and they feel almost helpless in the wake of this climate change.
School Kitchen
Food is basic: rice, spicy peppers, beans. But the kitchen staff take their role very seriously to feed hundreds of students every day. Kitchen tools are almost nonexistent. Cooking is done on open fire; large pots are carried by hand to the dining area. After the meal, students are responsible for cleaning their plates. To the delight of the students, the same tasks are repeated daily, no rain check.
Monks Reading Books
In 2016 Myanmar was hit by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake. Many temples were severely damaged, revoking access for monks to their daily prayers. This Pagoda, the home of the Shinbintharlyaung Reclining Buddha, was eventually restored. New rules were implemented with limited schedules for visitation, restricted access, and no use of candle light in order to preserve the remaining inscriptions on the walls.
Until very recently, Merak, a village in Eastern Bhutan, was accessible only by foot. Villagers were totally self-sufficient and on rare occasions made the one-day walk to the nearest market. Construction of a private road has made their life easier and brought teachers to the village. Merak Villagers are easily recognizable as they wear unique cloth and hats, all handmade from material of the region. There is no crime, kids are safe. This is life at its purest.
Yeewong Dorji Selden at the School Kitchen - Preschooler
Yeewong Dorji Selden is the daughter of the school superintendent. She is one of 15 preschoolers in the town. Even at her young age, 5 years old, she has already learned the etiquette of cleaning her dishes after lunch. Such a simple task made for a magical moment, when combined with the elements of water, light, harmony, abundance, and happiness.
Chinese Chess Players and Hairdresser
This was a typical day: Older people went to the fields to tend to the crops, younger people headed off to the city to work, and children went to school. The old men gathered in the center of the village for endless retellings of fighting the Japanese and to watch or play games of Chinese chess. Nothing felt out of place.
Aum Tshering
Textile experts widely acknowledge Bhutanese weaving to be among the most sophisticated and time-consuming in the world. Over half of Bhutan's population is involved in weaving. Bhutanese women continue to pass down weaving techniques through oral tradition. However, the art is still at risk of disappearing in the shadow of urbanization and importation of cheaper commodities. In Bhutan, weaving is not merely a skill, it is a ritual of love that comes from the heart.
Mother and Daughter Harvesting Buckwheat
Harvesting paddy is not just about cutting ripened stalks and shaking off the grain. Besides the long hours of back - breaking manual work in the sun there is a particular tradition, built through the ages on myth and belief, to reap what is sown. Buckwheat crops, once the staple food was replaced by the cultivation of potatoes, which brought more profit. Today, the trend is reversing, as buckwheat is gaining popularity due to its medicinal value.
Prayers at Mongar Boarding School
Boarding school provides opportunities for girls in remote villages to be educated. Without these schools, they would have an arduous trek to school, through jungle, mud, rain, and darkness six days a week, leaving very little time and energy for homework. They would also be subject to household chores at home. They were intrigued by my presence, but it didn't deter them from their daily routine.
Young Nun at the Peace and Compassion Nunnery
In this deeply religious country, people give up their bus seats to monks, bow to them on the streets, and give them daily alms. Nuns, however, live in the shadow of the monks. The society has wrongly presumed that nuns do not deserve the same respect and support as monks just because they are women. In fact, both monks and nuns live strictly in accordance with the instructions of Lord Buddha and deserve an equal amount of respect.
Hani Ethnic Minority
After spending a few days in this village, I was able to anticipate people's schedules and their never ending daily chores. The delicate touch of the man's hand shows how harsh their life is. And there is no stopping otherwise the weather will overcome them. The burden of survival for the long winter is in this man's hands.

Did you know that over 35,000 unique visitors per day come to AirNav.com seeking information about airports and the services available there? And that over 670 each month specifically look for the Kingman Airport?
If you are affiliated with Air'zona Aircraft Service and would like to reach out to this community, you should purchase a listing on AirNav.com.
If you are not affiliated with Air'zona Aircraft Service and would like their contact and services published here, you may want to suggest it to them.
I landed in Kingman today for fuel, we were in an SR22T. Couldn't get Air'zona on Unicom. I taxied over to their ramp and saw 5 of their employees chilling on the porch, just eyeballing us. No one so much as lifted a finger to let us know where to park, and they seemed genuinely upset we had ruined their break by showing up. I said screw it and taxied over to the self-serve. These guys have balls to call themselves an FBO.
Landed late afternoon weekend in 11/2016. Leonard loaned his crew car, found me a hotel with a good rate and recommended a good place to eat. Went out of his way to make sure I did not have to sleep in the lobby. Great guy. Thanks Leonard.
I feel like they could up their game a bit seeing how they are one of the few available stops in the northern part of the whole state. The facilities look nice but the two times I've been here the doors have been locked and nobody around. Last time was noon on a saturday and the other was noon on a weekday. Be nice to have something besides a dirty Honey Bucket and no water or vending machines.
I used the self-service fuel. While fueling, one of the staff drove up to the pump to refill his truck. He was very personable and helpful. If this is an indication of their service and attitude in general, I commend them.
Real nice folks at the FBO. I had called day before about a crew car.. They have one. Got there and FBO told me about the restaurant on the field. We ate there and it was excellent FBO lent me a golf cart but it easily walked. We had breakfast but menu looked great for lunch and dinner fare. Cool airport with a lot of history and hundreds of mothballed air raft.
I was flying from Provo, Utah to Buckeye, Arizona on August 27 for an instructor practical test so time was important to me. The Cavalon gyroplane I was flying has a Rotax 914. The engine wouldn't idle right when I landed at Kingman. Leonard was very methodical in his analysis of the problem even though his Rotax experience is very limited. He weighed the floats and they were three grams too heavy. He provided transportation to the motel. The new floats arrived the next day and he jumped right on it getting me out just before the afternoon thunderstorms. I arrived just ahead of the storms on Friday in plenty of time and was able to take the test on Saturday. I feel like I have a friend at KIGM and would recommend Air'Zona to anyone.
My starter decided to quit working on Dec 26th, which was a holiday. I could have called out a mechanic for a $50 fee but I knew he couldn't help because I couldn't get the part on a holiday. So, I left the plane there and contacted Air'Zona by phone the next day. I had a starter shipped and the plane was ready within hours. The staff at Air'Zona is friendly and capable. Thank you Brian and Leonard! Sorry I can't remember the name of the lady at the desk, but she was great too!

Imago Christi helps people Experience the Love of God in Rhythms of Transformation.
• We will minister to, mentor and train Christian leaders who are in a position to train and influence others, in order to intentionally multiply leaders in spiritual formation.
• We will foster spiritual community among Christian leaders in churches, mission agencies and "Christian professions" (counselors, coaches, spiritual directors, seminary instructors, etc.), locally, regionally and internationally.
• We will coach and mentor church leaders to help the Church (in all of its manifestations) become the place of spiritual formation that ministers to people, in every phase of the Christian journey.
• We will create resources and networks to train and support Christian leaders in each of these spheres and at various levels of the development of these aspects of spiritual formation ministry.
• We will also help to foster a broad spiritual formation movement by reaching out to other spiritual formation entities and ministries, and establish collaborative relationships with these goals in mind.
Imago Christi is called to prophetically live out and invite Christian leaders into an intimate and transforming relationship of love with the Trinity so that the love of God will overflow through the Church into a world that desperately needs Him.
We endeavor to support leaders with resources, coaching, and relationships, which facilitate and encourage spiritual formation that reflects the Christ-likeness of Jesus' intimacy with the Father, whereby leaders will learn to follow Jesus specifically in the transformation of the Church, whose love for God will overflow into a world longing for intimacy with God.
As the Lord leads and guides us together in First Order Community, we envision the core community of Imago Christi functioning in its Second Order calling as "an order of spiritual formation missionaries," fostering the spiritual formation of Christian leaders, nurturing spiritual formation communities, and helping the Church embody spiritual formation ministry.
Imago Christi is a spiritual formation ministry team in the ChurchNEXT collective of Church Resource Ministries (CRM, Anaheim, CA). Imago Christi Core Members are staff members of a missions organization, who raise financial support to fund their ministry, so that we can minister freely.
The founding principles and commitments of the Imago Christi Community.
If you are interested in joining the Imago Christi Community, please make every effort to participate first in an Imago Christi Discovery event. Then you should familiarize yourself with the Foundational Documents and with our parent organization, its ethos and structures.
Please give to the CRM/Imago Christi Team Travel and Development Fund, in order to support the efforts of the Imago Christi Community in developing resources and presenting them in locations worldwide.
Individual Imago Christi Community Members are "spiritual formation missionaries," staff members of CRM, who raise financial support to fund their ministry, so that we can minister freely to global Christian leaders without charge. You can partner in the ministry of an individual Imago Christi Core on their Community Member page on this site.

Paddling around a limestone stone stack, and exploring the remnants of Cold War caves used for cannons and submarines.
The Cold War cannons are long gone, but their tunnels remain — catacombs bored deep into a limestone hillside on the Croatian island of Molat. They were positioned to blast intruders entering Yugoslavian waters in the northern Dalmatian Islands of the Adriatic Sea.
The passage they guarded along the 250-mile, 1,000-island chain — one we'd soon paddle across — is one of only a few big enough for ships to traverse; defend it and the government could protect the mainland city of Zadar.
The islands' same protective properties make them as prime for kayaking as cannon fire.
We paddled here from the village of Molat, where Marko grew up. It's our first of several stops. It takes my eyes awhile to adjust to the light. All I can see ahead of us are islands and blue, blue sea.
It's certainly a sweet, carefree life for those here — and like the bees, rather incestuous. "Most people here are related," said Marko. "There are maybe five last names." He relates a story about the island's lone baker, whose five girls were the only students in the elementary school.
This off-the-beaten-pathness, however, was what he wanted for his paddling operation. And the Molat harbor is protected from all three prevalent winds: Bura, from the mainland, which can top 100 mph come winter; maestrale, which arrive around noon each day from the north; and jugo, which brings low pressure from the south, often changing people's temperaments. One ancient law, he said, voided contracts signed when jugo was blowing. This positioning, as well as the islands' proximity, means there's always a sheltered sea kayaking route.
In the morning — after a Euro-sized breakfast of yogurt, muesli, granola, toast, homemade cherry jam, soft-boiled eggs, and fresh bread with prosciutto and cheese — we paddled out of the harbor with bura at our beam. In a cove below the cannon tunnels, two goats watched us disembark. They're an indicator of bura, Marko said; sheep, with their thicker fur, congregate on the ridges while goats retreat to the leeward bottoms.
Leaving the tunnels behind, we surf the bura swell across the passage, stopping off Lagnici Island to snorkel the wreck of a sunken cargo ship. From there, we round a lighthouse on Dugiotok Island and lunch on a cobblestone beach. We pick leaves of the motar (rock sampfire) plant to add a citrus tang to burek pastries, tomatoes and garbanzo beans. From there, we paddle to an alcove where Marko, also an accomplished climber, attempts a deep water solo climb. He spiders twice as far as I do on the limestone overhang before we each plunge into the cold water. Then we begin the long paddle home, the head-on bura winds now thankfully replaced by the maestrale at our beam.
The next day, now joined by Andy Taylor, an editor for Britain's Ocean Paddler magazine, we paddle to the island of Brscak before crossing to Dugiotok's near side, the bura winds shifting to maestrale. Today's destination: a 100-yard-long abandoned submarine cave, also built to protect the region from invaders. The opening appears around a hidden bend, and we tentatively paddle inside, cueing off a vertical yellow stripe painted at the far end to guide captains. Refreshed by the cool air, we climb out at a rusty stairway and explore its tunnels and equipment rooms, many blocked with corroded metal gates.
Long sandwiched between opposing superpowers — and within striking distance of the ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman empires — the Yugoslavia region is known as the Barrel of Dynamite. When Yugoslavian president Josip Tito died in 1980, the ensuing power vacuum boiled over in 1990 when Croatia declared its independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army. They fought for it until 1995, with 20,000 people losing their lives.
Back in the sun, we paddle across to Zverinac, a spitting image of Molat down to its Spanish tiles and sleepiness. Four old men join us on a white concrete wall in the shade, watching an acquaintance paint his boat white. Marko relates us the odd story of two nearby villages: in one, most of the men have died so its residents are mainly widows; in the other, just a mile away, most of the women have died, leaving only men. The latter is the one with the bar.
Paddling home, paralleling a terraced grove of olive trees, a pod of dolphins breeches, their dorsals blending in with the backlit waves. Marko takes note. He collaborates with the country's only dolphin research association, which gathers information on their behavior.
Tonight's dinner is at Marko's friend Ivan's house. He's baked "peka," veal and potatoes in an outdoor pizza oven. It means "under the bell," using an actual bell as a Dutch Oven lid. Again, we toast with rakia to prime our palate.
Parking our bikes — no need to lock them, Marko says — we paddle out in our calmest seas yet, the water mirror smooth. No bura or mastraele. We paddle around a small island that served as an ancient Roman stone quarry and then make our way to a stone stack, where we snorkel around a spire of limestone.
From there we paddle to the island of Ist (pronounced "East"), where we hike to a church high on a ridge. It offers our highest vantage yet, islands dotting the water as far as we can see. We see our routes from the past three days — the caves, shipwreck sites and orange-tiled villages — and countless more awaiting further exploration. More importantly, we see the land's colorful past merging with the present, creating a culture far removed from cannon fire.

Iran's enriched uranium stock grows well past deal cap: IAEA report
Savers desperate to move their Isa money to a better-paying account are suffering long delays which could cost them vital interest.

Mitch Marner has been stealing all the headlines lately when it comes to restricted free agent contract negotiations, but there is another Atlantic Division forward that is still without a deal and perhaps even more important to his team's hopes this season. Many people believed Brayden Point would be one of the first high-profile names to come off the board this summer given the record of the Tampa Bay Lightning in past negotiations. Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh and many others have all signed long-term deals to stay in Tampa Bay, almost all at a perceived discount. Point, however, is still without a deal as training camp starts, and Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic tweets that it is "not remotely close."

Point, 23, has developed from third-round pick into one of the most valuable players in the NHL and is coming off a 41-goal, 92-point season last year. The undersized center is also one of the best defensive forwards in the league, earning Selke Trophy votes in both his sophomore and junior seasons in the league. That resume led many to believe that he may actually be young forward who should "set the market," though Marner has grabbed significantly more headlines thus far.
The Lightning have worked hard this summer to clear enough cap room to sign Point, trading away J.T. Miller and Ryan Callahan's contract while only adding bounce-back bargains like Kevin Shattenkirk and Patrick Maroon. The team has almost $8.5M in cap space currently, but the real issues may come further down the line. With Andrei Vasilievskiy's extension kicking in next season and all three of Anthony Cirelli, Mikhail Sergachev and Erik Cernak hitting RFA status the Lightning will be in a very tight cap situation once again.

Tampa Bay has done bridge deals before for their top talent, but it's unclear what exactly Point is looking for. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet wrote earlier this week that he expected the team to go the three-year contract route, but if there is really as big of a gap as LeBrun suggests, it's hard to bet on anything at this point.

Artemi Panarin, New York Rangers
Since arriving in the NHL at the start of the 2015-16 season, only seven players in the league have recorded more points than Panarin's 320. He is one of the most dominant offensive players in the league, a game-changer every single time he steps on the ice, and still right in the middle of his prime. Most long-term free agent contracts are destined to end in a buyout or a trade, but Panarin could be one of the exceptions who is worth the price. The Rangers are adding a ton of impact talent to their lineup this season, and Panarin figures to play a huge role for them in the short-and long-term outlook. Aaron Doster, USATI
Sergei Bobrovsky, Florida Panthers
This might be the most perfect match of the offseason. The Panthers needed a goalie. Bobrovsky was the best one available on the open market and has been one of the top-five goalies in the league for the past seven years. Maybe in four years he is not worth the who gets the Panthers back in the playoffs. The Blue Jackets will miss him more than any of their offseason departures. Aaron Doster, USATI
3/20 SLIDES © Stan Szeto, USATI
Joe Pavelski, Dallas Stars
The biggest issue the Stars had a year ago was that the team was entirely too top heavy, relying too much on its top line to carry the offense. Dallas is hoping the addition of Pavelski, one of the league's top goal-scorers the past six years, can help fix that depth. He may not repeat his 38-goal season from a year ago, but he should still be a solid bet to score 25-30 goals for the Stars. Stan Szeto, USATI
4/20 SLIDES © Christopher Hanewinckel, USATI
P.K. Subban, New Jersey Devils
The biggest blockbuster trade of the offseason saw the Nashville Predators dump Subban's contract on the Devils. Nashville did it to create salary cap space to go after Matt Duchene, and the Devils were the only team willing to take on the entirety of Subban's remaining deal. The Devils desperately needed a top-pairing defender and while he may have lost a half step over the years, Subban is still one of the game's most electrifying players from the blue line. Christopher Hanewinckel, USATI
5/20 SLIDES © Jerome Miron, USATI
Mats Zuccarello, Minnesota Wild
One of the final big moves Paul Fenton made before being fired as general manager of the Wild was signing Zuccarello to a five-year contract. It carries some risk because Zuccarello is another player on the wrong side of 30 signed to a long-term deal, but he should still have a couple of strong years remaining. He brings speed and playmaking ability to a lineup that badly needs both. Jerome Miron, USATI
6/20 SLIDES © Charles LeClaire, USATI
Phil Kessel, Arizona Coyotes
The marriage between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Kessel had run its course and resulted in an offseason trade to the Arizona Coyotes. Kessel reunites with Rick Tocchet and gives the Coyotes the type of elite goal-scoring winger they have lacked for...well...decades. The Coyotes barely missed the playoffs a year ago and adding one of the league's best offensive players might be enough to help get them back in the postseason for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Charles LeClaire, USATI
Matt Duchene, Nashville Predators
Duchene joining the Predators was one of the worst-kept secrets of the offseason. Everyone knew it was going to happen, and the Predators wasted no time getting him on the roster. They needed another impact forward to help drive the offense and run the power play, and he certainly checks all of the boxes. They had to give up P.K. Subban to make enough room under the salary cap to get him. Aaron Doster, USATI
8/20 SLIDES © Perry Nelson, USATI
Corey Perry, Dallas Stars
After spending the first 14 years of his career with the Anaheim Ducks, Perry found himself as a free agent this summer due to his contract being bought out. He signed a one-year, bargain contract with the Dallas Stars. His game has rapidly declined over the past couple of years due to age and injury, and the Ducks no longer felt his contract was worth the salary cap hit. He was a franchise icon for the Ducks and one of the best players to ever play for the franchise. Now he moves on to a secondary role with the Stars where they hope he can fix their depth. Perry Nelson, USATI
9/20 SLIDES © Terrence Lee, USATI
Jacob Trouba, New York Rangers
A Trouba trade out of Winnipeg was inevitable as he never wanted to be there long term, hoping to get to a city that would allow his fiance to further her career (she works in the medical field). That took them to New York. Trouba will strengthen a Rangers defense that needs another strong top-four presence. He is a big part of the Rangers' successful offseason that has seen their rebuild really take off. Terrence Lee, USATI
10/20 SLIDES © John E. Sokolowski, USATI
Nazem Kadri, Colorado Avalanche
Kadri is a complicated player because he is an outstanding two-way center who perfectly blends shutdown defense and 30-goal offense. He is the type of player a Stanley Cup contender not only wants but also needs. So why was Toronto so willing to trade him? Probably because he plays on the edge of the line, often forgets where it is and does something stupid that results in a poorly timed penalty or a suspension. He managed to get himself suspended in each of the past two postseasons, punishments that no doubt played a role in the Maple Leafs' defeats. The Avalanche need to keep him on the right side of the line. John E. Sokolowski, USATI
11/20 SLIDES © Brad Penner, USATI
Robin Lehner, Chicago Blackhawks
After a career year that saw him finish as a Vezina Trophy finalist and win the Masterton Trophy, Robin Lehner found himself on the open market after being unable to come to terms on a new contract with the New York Islanders. That took him to the Blackhawks on a one-year deal where he will share the net with Corey Crawford and serve as an insurance policy in case Crawford misses more time. He was probably the biggest factor in the Islanders' success a year ago. Brad Penner, USATI
12/20 SLIDES © Bill Streicher, USATI
Wayne Simmonds, New Jersey Devils
After being a thorn in their side as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, Simmonds joined the Devils this summer on a one-year, $5 million contract. He is part of the Devils' big offseason that has seen them try to keep up with the rest of the Metropolitan Division powers. His game has declined significantly, but he can still be a force in front of the net. Bill Streicher, USATI
13/20 SLIDES © Ron Chenoy, USATI
Tyson Barrie, Toronto Maple Leafs
After years of rumors that they were considering a deal, the Colorado Avalanche finally traded Barrie and Alexander Kerfoot, sending him to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Nazem Kadri. Barrie is a highly productive defender and should help a Maple Leafs defense that has been its Achilles' heel for a couple of years now. The Avalanche are loaded with young, impact defenders (Cale Makar, Sam Girard, Bowen Byram), making Barrie expendable, especially since the trade helped them bolster their forward depth. Ron Chenoy, USATI
Semyon Varlamov, New York Islanders
One of the most curious moves of the offseason was the Islanders allowing Robin Lehner, arguably their most valuable player a year ago, to walk in free agency and replace him with an older, lesser player on a more expensive contract. When Varlamov is healthy he can be a solid goalie, but he misses a lot of games and has been fairly inconsistent over the past few years. This could be a big downgrade for the Islanders. Ron Chenoy, USATI
Kevin Hayes, Philadelphia Flyers
This is probably the boldest signing of the summer because no one should have any idea if it is going to work out or not. Hayes is a pretty good player, but the Flyers gave him a seven-year, $50 million contract, which is an outrageous amount of money for a player who has scored more than 20 goals one time and recorded more than 50 points one time. He almost certainly will not play all seven years of this contract as a member of the Flyers. Brad Penner, USATI
16/20 SLIDES © Dennis Schneidler, USATI
Kevin Shattenkirk, Tampa Bay Lightning
His time in New York was a disappointment, resulting in a buyout this summer. Shattenkirk took it personally and was not happy with how things transpired in New York, and he is determined to rebound this season. He signed a one-year, "prove it" deal with the Lightning and should be a great fit on the Lightning's blue line. Dennis Schneidler, USATI
17/20 SLIDES © Kim Klement, USATI
J.T. Miller, Vancouver Canucks
Tampa Bay's salary cap crunch, as well as the restricted free agent status of Brayden Point, meant someone on the Lightning roster had to go. That someone was J.T. Miller. He was sent to the Vancouver Canucks for a future first-round pick. Miller is a good player who will probably be good for 20-25 goals and 50-55 points for the Canucks, but he is probably not going to be enough to move them closer to a playoff spot. Kim Klement, USATI
18/20 SLIDES © Perry Nelson, USATI
Milan Lucic, Calgary Flames
The bloom has been off the rose for Lucic for a few years now, but he is still a big name around the NHL. His time in Edmonton didn't go as Peter Chiarelli thought it would, and it became painfully obvious early in his tenure that Lucic was not a fit in the modern NHL or next to the speedy Connor McDavid. After just 16 goals over the past two years, the remainder of his massive contract was dumped on the Flames in return for James Neal. The Flames wanted to get more physical and stronger, but those attributes don't mean much without offense and skill. This might not work out for the Flames. Perry Nelson, USATI
19/20 SLIDES © Sergei Belski, USATI
James Neal, Edmonton Oilers
The Calgary Flames had high hopes for Neal when they signed him as a free agent, but his first year with the team was a complete disaster. It resulted in an offseason trade with their archrival, the Edmonton Oilers, that sent Neal away for another albatross contract in Milan Lucic. Initial reaction is that it's a great gamble for the Oilers because Neal, traditionally a great goal scorer with a great shot, seems far more likely to bounce back than Lucic does. Sergei Belski, USATI
20/20 SLIDES © Darren Yamashita, USATI
Gustav Nyquist, Columbus Blue Jackets
Nyquist has some big shoes to fill going into Columbus and trying to make up for the losses of Artemi Panarin and Matt Duchene. He is not going replace Panarin's production, but he is a good top-line player and is signed to a really good contract that should be a great bargain for the Blue Jackets. Darren Yamashita, USATI

Research reveals good news for retailer and customers
Electrical retailer The Good Guys has been recognised by consumers and business decision makers as the top Furniture/Electrical Store for the year in Roy Morgan Surveys.
With 50,000 consumers and 12,000 business decision makers responding to the surveys, the research has revealed that The Good Guys has once again earned the top spot for customer satisfaction, a title which The Good Guys says means a great deal to the team.
"We know that we are only in business because of our customers so we make customer satisfaction our top priority," said The Good Guys spokesperson.
"We are just very proud to have such a terrific, hard working team that strive to deliver great customer service everyday."
The Good Guys beat competitors Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Dick Smith, Retravision and Betta Electrical, as well as furniture retailers Ikea and Fantastic Furniture, to win the award.
OLIVER AND YORK AND THE GOOD GUYS
Oliver and York is a Public Relations, Marketing Services and Digital Content Agency based in Melbourne. Oliver and York provide services to The Good Guys including public relations, reputation management, issues management, marketing strategy, content development, marketing services and local area marketing. Oliver and York has also provided support services to assist with sponsorship and community program leverage, including Jamie's Ministry of Food Program, The Block and Disney partnerships.
Q & A with the Oliver and York team lead on The Good Guys:
How can public relations support marketing services with a client such as The Good Guys?
The Good Guys have become known for doing things well. Since 2010, The Good Guys has given back millions of dollars in support to the communities where their customers and employees work and live. This commitment to the local communities where The Good Guys stores operate is important. Effective communication of these activities can play a key role in customer decision making. Public relations is an effective tool in leveraging these activities. Highlighting interesting and engaging marketing activities for companies such as The Good Guys using public relations has become a fundamental part of the marketing and communication program. Often, PR does not work in isolation and companies such as The Good Guys know this. Strong leadership, effective marketing and communication strategy underpinned by the delivery of remarkable retail is at the core of the offering.
Why is public relations planning important in retail?
Retail is an ever-changing landscape. The consideration of retail leaders is constant and evolving. Managing customer expectations and delivering exceptional retail experiences both online and in store is the key focus. It is the secret to retail leadership in Australia and internationally. Developing a proactive public relations plan is important in retail. The plan allows for senior leaders within the business to identify the key talking points to reinforce both in the short and the long term. Great retail focuses on the day to day, while having a clear strategy year on year. Individual stories and messaging are developed to reflect the daily trend while speaking to the greater strategy at play. Good retail leaders in marketing and the greater business know this. And those who have a public relations plan in place are prepared and at the ready for both the opportunities and challenges that arise.
What does Public Relations mean to retail employees?
You often see a bounce in the step of retail employees who have seen the company they work so hard for in the news in a positive light. Giving away trips to Disneyland on the Today Show or following Jamie Oliver as he cooks his famous Cracking Burger with the latest Breville appliance on Ten News, there is always something interesting that people want to see. There is a lot of work that goes behind those moments. And for those few minutes, this work bubbles to the surface and the joys of working with a client that gives back comes to life. The HR and People departments call it morale and retention. We just call it leverage of what the company is already doing. A good retailer does not let the story go unnoticed but engages a company like Oliver and York to refine, authenticate and drive effective public relations programs. Working together, great things can be achieved.

Hundreds of Alberta doctors call for 'circuit-breaker' lockdown as premier, top doctor make announcement
A group of more than 430 Alberta physicians and three major health-care unions have signed a letter to Premier Jason Kenney on Thursday endorsing the idea of a "circuit-breaker" targeted lockdown as cases of COVID-19 continue to surge in the province. "There is no more time. We have to act now," said Dr. Tehseen Ladha, who co-authored the letter.
Alberta's government is expected to introduce further restrictions later today. Kenney and Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta's chief medical officer of health, have scheduled a news conference for 5:30 p.m. ET. Though restrictions were not final as of Wednesday, officials said the measures were expected to be in line with the premier's messaging over the past few weeks, involving modest and targeted measures — moves that officials emphasized do not constitute a lockdown.
In the letter, the signatories said they feel it is their duty to warn of the "impending health system crisis" resulting from the spread of COVID-19 in Alberta. "We have reached a juncture where only strong and decisive mandatory measures can prevent our hospitals from becoming overwhelmed," the letter reads. Those measures, which the letter said should be time-limited, include directives to work from home for those who are able, the limiting of contacts to those within the household or a support bubble and the suspension of group indoor activities. Schools should be kept open for in-person learning, the letter said, "due to their vital importance."
Ladha said the group is not calling for the closure of retail businesses given that there's little evidence of the virus spreading in such settings. The letter goes on to cite Alberta's rise in cases, high levels of test positivity and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. In the view of the doctors, a circuit-breaker targeted lockdown would consist of strict, time-limited measures that would help prevent a complete lockdown should the health system become overwhelmed. "The time for incremental measures has passed, and voluntary measures, requested Oct. 9, have not blunted the rise in cases," the letter read. "Our testing system is strained, and contact tracing [capabilities] have collapsed."
CBC News reported Wednesday that Hinshaw could introduce mandatory measures such as reduced business hours or capacity limits for businesses, worship services and fitness classes. The restrictions would be a reversal in tactics for the province. Last week, Kenney spoke strongly against bringing in mandatory constraints, instead urging "personal responsibility" when it comes to attending parties or hosting social gatherings. The province's doctors said that half-measures won't have enough impact. "We need something strong and mandatory in order to bend the curve," Ladha said.

What is a 'circuit-breaker' lockdown and does it work?
As COVID-19 cases continue to surge across Canada, provinces are implementing the short, sharp "circuit-breaker" lockdowns to fight the spread of the virus and prevent health-care systems from being overwhelmed. 1:58
Ontario unveils new COVID-19 modelling after blowing through previous projections
New modelling of Ontario's COVID-19 outlook shows the pandemic is worsening across the province overall, with resident deaths in long-term care homes increasing each week — and case numbers likely exceeding European cities currently in some form of lockdown if case counts grow by five per cent. The province's seven-day growth average right now is already about four per cent, said Adalsteinn Brown, dean of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and co-chair of Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table. Over the last three days, the growth rate has been about six per cent, he said. A five per cent growth rate is an "optimistic" scenario, Brown said on Thursday.
Asked if restrictions could effectively control the level of growth seen today, Brown said: "I do not believe there's a way that the cases will change without action." Dr. David Williams, Ontario's Medical Officer of Health, emphasized the importance of individual behaviour. "If everybody did what they were supposed to do, we can bring these numbers down," Williams said. Projections suggest Ontario will hit approximately 6,500 new cases per day before the end of December at five per cent growth. The updated modelling comes as the province blew through its earlier projection of 1,200 new daily cases by mid-November, with 1,575 new cases of the virus Thursday — its third straight record-high day.
Today's figures come after a blockbuster news report that the government rejected advice from its own public health agency when it developed the new tiered, colour-coded framework for imposing COVID-19 restrictions. The Toronto Star reported late Wednesday that Public Health Ontario recommended setting several key thresholds for the red "control" tier — the most stringent set of restrictions before a full lockdown — at levels four times lower than those the government ultimately chose. Dr. Shelley Deeks, chief health protection officer at the agency, told the newspaper she only found out about the government's decision when the framework was unveiled publicly last week. Deeks declined to speak with CBC News today, but a spokesperson for Public Health Ontario said the agency stands behind her comments.

Quebec premier mulls temporarily closing schools this winter to reduce spread of COVID-19
Quebec Premier François Legault said schools might have to close this winter, extending the holiday break in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. Schools and workplaces have the highest rates of transmission in the province, Legault said during his Thursday news briefing. The premier said 1,174 classes are currently shut down because of positive cases, 324 of those in the last two days alone. It is clear, he said, that schools are a vector for the virus in the province.
Closing schools in advance of the December holiday break, or extending the break after the holidays, may be a way to give the province a better shot at stopping the second wave. That could then mean extending the school year into the summer — as far as July, Legault said. He said the government has been discussing this possibility with unions as it would affect teachers and staff as well. Legault made it clear that this is still up for discussion. It is a last-resort solution, he said, and no decision has been made. "We have to consider the possibility of closing schools for a very specific time — a well-defined period."
When asked, Legault declined to say whether he is considering closing businesses again as well. At the National Assembly on Thursday morning, the opposition grilled the Legault government on what they said is a lack of action on equipping schools with proper ventilation and filtration systems. Legault said according to public health officials, ventilation is not to blame for the high transmission rates in schools. However, he said, public health has been ordered to examine the issue once again.

Daily COVID-19 cases, deaths on the rise in almost every U.S. state
The U.S. has recorded more than 240,000 COVID-19 deaths and more than 10.3 million confirmed infections, with new cases soaring to all-time highs of more than 120,000 per day over the past week. Health experts have blamed the increase in part on the onset of cold weather and growing frustration with mask-wearing and other precautions. Cases per day are on the rise in 49 states, and deaths per day are climbing in 39. A month ago, the U.S. was seeing about 730 COVID-19 deaths per day on average. It has now surpassed 970.
Texas on Wednesday became the first state with more than one million confirmed COVID-19 cases, and California is closing in on that mark. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said all restaurants, bars and gyms statewide will have to close at 10 p.m. starting Friday, a major retreat in a corner of the U.S. that had seemingly brought the virus largely under control months ago. He also barred private gatherings of more than 10 people. According to the COVID Tracking Project by The Atlantic, there have been about 15,000 new hospitalizations since the Nov. 3 election.
Among the many health officials sounding the alarm is Dr. Julie Watson of Integris Health in Oklahoma. "We are in trouble," she said. "If nothing is done soon to slow the rise in cases, our hospitals will be more overwhelmed than they already are and we won't be able to be there for all of those who need it." The American Medical Association renewed its plea for mask-wearing, physical distancing and frequent hand-washing. "With the holidays quickly approaching, each of us must do everything possible to reduce the spread of COVID-19," AMA president Susan Bailey said. "Failing to do our part will prolong the suffering and disruption to our lives and inevitably lead to more deaths of our friends, neighbours and loved ones."

Promising new therapy for COVID-19 cleared by U.S., still under review by Health Canada
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given the green light to a promising monoclonal antibody therapy co-developed by Canadian scientists to treat mild to moderate coronavirus infections — a groundbreaking product that hasn't been approved by Health Canada for use in this country.
The antibody treatment, called bamlanivimab, produced positive results in clinical trials and reduced the severity of COVID-19 in patients with underlying health conditions (such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity or being over the age of 65) while also cutting hospitalization rates. U.S. data show that people with comorbidities — two or more medical conditions at one time — are far more likely to die from COVID-19. This drug could help reduce those mortality rates.
Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system's ability to fight off harmful antigens such as viruses. Bamlanivimab is specifically designed to block the SARS-CoV-2 virus from attaching to human cells. The antibody in question, LY-CoV555, was discovered by scientists at Vancouver-based AbCellera in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Vaccine Research Center (VRC). The treatment was co-developed with U.S. pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly.
While the clinical data was submitted to U.S. and Canadian regulators for approvals at roughly the same time in early October, Health Canada said it is not yet ready to approve the drug and its review process continues. "Although Health Canada has received some applications, all the necessary data supporting a vaccine or treatment approval have not yet been received. The decision on vaccine and treatment approval will be made based on the evidence submitted by the sponsors," a spokesperson for the department said.

Indie booksellers thriving during pandemic thanks to new ways of connecting with customers
A customer pays at TYPE Books in Toronto. 'We've had incredible support,' said co-owner Joanne Saul about her customers amid the pandemic. (CBC)
When the pandemic first hit, independent bookstores felt their share of pain. Lockdowns in some regions brought foot traffic to a halt and publishers began holding back titles, waiting for more favourable conditions. But with the fall came a flood of new titles while booksellers across Canada are finding new ways to connect with customers, writes CBC's Eli Glasner.
In Toronto, TYPE Books co-owner Joanne Saul took to delivering purchases when restrictions closed her doors. "We had incredible support," she said of the local customers she met when she and her co-owner jumped in the car. As readers hunker down to try and ride out the pandemic, what Saul and other owners have observed is an increased appetite for understanding. "People are trying to connect," she said. "People are trying to learn, trying to make sense of the world.… That's something that good books can do."
The push to support the neighbourhood shop predates the pandemic, said Doug Minett, executive director of the newly formed Canadian Independent Booksellers Association. "It's called localism," said Minett. If you're looking for an example, it doesn't get much more local than The Bookshelf in Guelph, Ont., a store run by Minett's family. When the pandemic clamped down, he said they came up with a complementary pairing of books and wine. "We had a liquor licence. [Premier] Doug Ford in Ontario said, 'Hey, you can deliver it.'" Minett said The Bookshelf's book and wine deliveries have already reached thousands.

Scorpiones – Wiki der Arachnologischen Gesellschaft e. V.
Die Skorpione (Scorpiones) formen die älteste, primitivste rezente Ordnung der Spinnentiere (Arachnida) mit 13 beschriebenen Familien und etwa 1400 Arten weltweit (Parker S. P. 1982).
Körperlänge: 10 bis 180 mm. Das Prosoma ist sechsgliedrig. Der ganze Carapax liegt auf der dorsalen Seite. Ein Paar von submedialen Augen und bis zu 5 Paare von Seitenaugen sind vorhanden. Die dreigliedrigen Cheliceren sind scherenartig. Die Pedipalpen sind die Scheren der Skorpione und bestehen aus 6 Gliedern. Die Coxen der ersten und zweiten Laufbeinpaare tragen anteriore Aufsprünge und formen die Basis der Mundhöhlung. Dadurch unterscheiden sie sich von anderen Spinnentieren, bei denen die Mundhöhlung durch die Enditen der ersten Coxen gebildet ist. Das Opisthosoma weist 13 Segmente auf. Die letzten 5 Segmente sind zu schmalen Ringen verengt und bilden das Metasoma. Dieses trägt das Telson (Endstachel und Giftblase) (Parker S. P. 1982).

MONTREAL • Quebec food court mogul Stanley Ma has made his biggest bet yet, buying Extreme Pita owner Extreme Brandz in a deal that gives his MTY Food Group Inc. its first foothold in the United States.
MTY shares jumped 10.6% to $25.10 in Toronto trading, their largest one-day gain since December 2010. But some investors cautioned there wasn't enough financial information disclosed to judge the merits of the deal.
Under the agreement, quick-service restaurant operator MTY will pay $45-million for most of the assets of Extreme Brandz from its three co-founders – Alex Rechichi, Mark Rechichi and Sean Black. The purchase includes 235 Extreme Pita outlets, 70 Mucho Burrito restaurants as well as Purblendz, a fruit smoothies concept.
Most of Extreme's stores are in Canada, but it runs about 40 outlets in the United States from a base in Scottsdale, Ariz. The company generated system-wide sales of about $103-million in its last fiscal year.
This will mark MTY's first foray into the U.S. market, which Mr. Ma has been eyeing for some time for an expansion despite expressing reservations about its litigious nature.
MTY chief financial officer Eric Lefebvre confirmed estimates the company paid in the range of nine times EBITDA for Extreme. That's higher than the multiple MTY normally pays for acquisitions, but Mr. Lefevbre said there are reasons justifying the price point, including the fact the network is almost uniformly strong.
There's also a growth opportunity in terms of opening new locations for both the burrito and the pita business, the CFO said. And management is experienced, he said.
"They had to pay a premium… to get something that's growing this fast," said National Bank Financial analyst Leon Aghazarian, who estimates Extreme Pita is posting low double-digit growth.
That is an impressive number considering the industry overall is sputtering in Canada. During its latest quarter ended Feb.28, MTY said same-store sales fell 4%.
MTY has been an explosive growth story in its own right. Its share price has soared from $6.10 at the end of 2008 to $27 in April before dipping on the same-store sales decline.
Now the question is whether Mr. Ma can deliver a second course for investors. Mr. Lefebvre said the plan is to expand MTY's Thai Express and then Sushi Shop into the United States as soon as possible.
"It's going to open their eyes to what it's like to operate in a much, much bigger market with more competition," said Toronto-based franchise consultant Gareth Parry, adding MTY's cost structure will change because it will have to support the brands with more marketing.
The deal is expected to close before Sept. 17 this year.

Q: Table has a column that contains a url to an image, but some rows don't, how to check for this? I am creating a XML file of image urls, and I have to parse this URL when I am writing out the XML.
Some rows in the database don't have a URL, so how do I skip those rows and don't process?
Something like:
images = Image.limit(100)

images.each { |i|

  blah = ''

  if i.url ???
    # process stuff here
  else
      blah = ''
  end

}

A: If it's a SQL database, I'd use a query that skipped rows with missing URLs:
 select * from database_table where url is not null

or something similar to that. Database queries differ depending on the database.
Otherwise, in Ruby I'd do something like:
if (i.url.any?)
    ...
else
    ...
end

or:
if (!i.url.empty?)...

Current exhibitions include Atelier, where visitors can "get inspired by ongoing conversations about Canada's history and investigate what Canada means to you".

The Canadian collection, which is the nation's most compressive, includes artwork by Emily Carr, Louis-Philippe Hébert, Alex Colville, Tom Thomson and Jack Bush. The gallery is recognised today for the spider sculpture outside, which is titled Maman and was created by Louise Bourgeois.

It's home to the oldest library in Canada dedicated to art, five different pavilions, and over 42,000 works in its permanent collection. In 1972, it was actually the site of the largest art theft robbery in Canada's history. The pieces (including a Rembrandt) have never been recovered but would be worth over $11 million today. More than one million people visited the museum in 2016.

Shanesha Taylor was arrested on March 20th by the Scottsdale Police for leaving her children ages 2 and 6 months in her car while she interviewed for a job. Ms. Taylor was homeless and could not access any child care. Her desperation to provide for herself and her children and her lack of options led her to take drastic measures in search of employment. Ms. Taylor needs support & help rather than incarceration and a criminal record that will surely decrease her chances to provide for her children in the future. We ask that Maricopa County use common-sense and provide support for Ms. Taylor and her children rather than punishment.
Shanesha Taylor is still in jail pending a $9,000 bond.
