Tony Yayo Says He Wishes He Had Outdone Kanye, 'But I'm #1 In The 'Hood'
Rapper trying to record more songs, but studio's cramped with G-Unit pals, M.O.P., Mobb Deep.
Shaheem Reid 09/23/2005
Who says gangstas don't dance? Tony Yayo is down with one of the hardest cliques in rap and says there's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself.
"A lot of artists, when they do their music and come aggressive, they put on the screw face and never have no fun. I like to have fun, man. I'm not gonna walk around with the screw face. I like to smile, joke, have fun and dance. But don't think anything funny about it. Don't think anything's sweet or peaches-and-cream."
Yayo actually has a signature dance he calls "The Tony Yayo," for which he waves his hand in front of his face. You probably caught him doing it at this year's VMAs or in his new video for "Curious." Although the movement looks strikingly similar to WWE heavyweight champ John Cena's "You can't see me" move, Yayo says he came up with it after hanging with 50 Cent's little boy, Marques.
"Me and 50's son created that when I was on the run," he explained. "I had nothing better to do. I was in the house, and we was playing around."
Now that he's on parole (see "G-Unit's Tony Yayo Finally Out Of Prison"), Yayo says he can move around, but his five parole officers keep close tabs on him and sometimes make life difficult.
"I think if I was down with Kanye West or Common Sense, I could do more," he said. "But you look at 50 Cent, G-Unit, [Lloyd] Banks, [Young] Buck, we're an aggressive rap group, and the media is hyping things up. Me getting out of jail, it's always a problem for me. Every time 50 is in the paper, parole thinks twice. It's a difference for me."
Yayo recently went head-to-head with Kanye when their albums were released the same day. West debuted in the top slot with Late Registration, while Yayo's Thoughts of a Predicate Felon bowed right below.
"I wanted the number to be a little bit better," he said. "Number two is cool, but I want that #1 spot. Shout out to Kanye, he got the #1, I got #2. But I'm #1 in the 'hood."
As for his squad, Yayo says G-Unit just collaborated for a mixtape catered toward the 'hood and have an LP — as do Mobb Deep and M.O.P. — coming down the pike.
"We're all in the studio," Yayo said. "It's crazy. You've got [Prodigy], Billy [Danzenie], [Lil'] Fame. Me and Banks might be laying our verses and [Havoc] and P go do something in another studio and run back. Everybody was working. Mobb Deep got their album done, M.O.P. is working on their album, we got a soundtrack done. It came to a point where I was getting mad. I was trying to get some studio time and Banks is in there. Come back the next day, Hav is in there, Buck is in there. These dudes is beasts. We love making music. It's not like there is a pressure on us, we [just] love vibing."
Yayo's next single is going to be "I Know You Don't Love Me" with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck.
G-Unit

Two Bossier City women are dead after an overnight double homicide shooting. Public Information Officer Traci Landry says officers arrived at a tragic scene after getting an 8:30 PM call from a neighbor who heard gunshots.
22-year-old Shandrell and 40-year-old Maeisha Simoneaux are believed to have been murdered by the father of Shandrell's two kids, 22-year-old Fred Jackson, who has been arrested. Landry says it didn't take long to apprehend the alleged murderer.
Landry says enough evidence was collected to charge Jackson with 1st Degree Murder. Landry says Jackson and Simoneaux's two children were in the apartment at the time of the shooting, and have been turned over to a responsible party.
Jackson has been booked into the Bossier City Jail on a 7.5 million dollar bail.

European Defence Agency AMALIA project seeks lighter ballistic armour
Posted On Monday, 31 October 2022 15:49
Ballistic, or bulletproof, armour is used to protect vehicles against different threats. But it also makes them heavier, especially when seeking to protect against more powerful weapons. Taken together, armour and the vehicle structure constitute more than half of the vehicle's weight, requiring more fuel and potentially making it harder to manoeuvre. In search of lighter armour, the European Defence Agency (EDA) launched a project on 20 October 2022 to use new advances in metallic materials for ballistic steels.

Debt-ceiling bill clears House. Now, hopes that Round 2 will be better.
In a vote laced with surprises, the House passed a controversial plan to add more than $2 trillion to the nation's debt limit, just a day before the nation was to lose its capacity to borrow.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to pass in a vote beginning at noon on Tuesday. President Obama says he will sign it by sundown, avoiding the first-ever default on the full faith and credit of the United States.
But the cheers that rang through the House chamber during the vote were not for the debt deal, which was highly unpopular on both sides of the aisle, but for the surprise appearance of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona, whose recovery from an assassination attempt on Jan. 8 inspired her House colleagues and the nation.
In the end, 95 Democrats, including Congresswoman Giffords, joined 174 Republicans to pass the compromise bill, whose fate appeared to be in doubt right up until the final vote. The Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus both opposed the measure, citing harm to working families and the poor from some of the expected spending cuts.
But both sides won their way to the compromise with a modest claim: It's a start.
Republicans held out hope that entitlement reform would be next on the agenda, both for a new congressional committee tasked with identifying $1.2 trillion more in cuts and beyond. Meanwhile, Democrats hoped that taxes on the wealthy could be part of a second wave of deficit cutting.
"I would like to say this bill solves our problem. It doesn't. It's a solid first step," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) of Texas, the House Republican Conference chairman, during Monday's floor debate.
"Although not perfect, [it] will begin to change the culture here in Washington," said House majority leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia at a press briefing before the final vote.
"Beginning to take steps toward fixing our fiscal problems will in fact provide more confidence for employers in America," said Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio at the briefing.
Many bills that eventually take on big issues start as a modest, first step, says Julian Zelizer, a congressional historian at Princeton University, citing the 1957 civil rights bill, which disappointed most of its supporters for not going far enough to redress the nation's record on civil rights.
President "Lyndon Johnson pushed back against liberals saying, 'If I can get Southerners to vote for something, you can do more down the road,' " he says.
Indeed, with 66 of 240 Republicans voting to oppose raising the debt ceiling, Democrats – including Giffords – were critical to passing the bill.
The compromise bill hikes the debt limit in two stages, while requiring comparable spending cuts each time. The first debt-limit hike and corresponding spending cuts – totaling about $900 billion – will take effect immediately. Then, a new bipartisan committee composed of members from the House and the Senate is to recommend at least another $1.2 trillion in spending cuts by Thanksgiving, which are expected to move through the Congress on an expedited procedure by the end of December.
Throughout the months-long process, the 87-member Republican freshman class were seen as the roadblock to raising the debt ceiling. While they rejected the final plan at a higher rate than did other Republicans, 56 supported the bill in the end.
Freshman Rep. Tim Griffin (R) of Arkansas, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, was one who voted "no." He says he's worried about the fact that the Pentagon budget will be cut automatically if the new congressional committee fails to identify and pass its additional cuts.
Freshman Rep. Steven Palazzo (R) of Mississippi says that the deal doesn't go far enough to get the nation back on a sustainable course but is a step in the right direction. He voted with GOP leadership to back the bill.
"We're headed toward the brink of disaster whether we raise the debt limit or not," he says.
Like many other GOP freshman, Congressman Palazzo says he was not pressured by Speaker Boehner or other GOP leaders to vote for the plan. "He gives us the facts and lets us make up our own minds," he adds.
For Rep. Paul Ryan (R) of Wisconsin, the chairman of the Budget Committee, the logic was clear.

Turkish Myth & Muslim Symbol
The Battle of Manzikert
By Carole Hillenbrand
Published by Edinburgh University press
£28.99 / $35.89 / €33.01
($/€ approx)
Paperback, 304pp, published 2007
Turks ruled the Middle East for a millennium and eastern Europe for many centuries and it is an undoubted fact that they moulded the lands under their dominion. It is therefore something of a paradox that the history of Turkey and aspects of the identity and role of the Turks, both as Muslims and as an ethnic group, still remain little known in the west and undervalued in the Arabic and Persian-speaking worlds.
This book contributes to historical scholarship on Turkey by focusing on its key foundational myth, the battle of Manzikert in 1071 – the Turkish equivalent of the battle of Hastings. Manzikert destroyed the hold of Christian Byzantium on eastern Turkey and opened the whole country to the spread of Islam, a process completed with the fall of Constantinople and Trebizond some four centuries later.
Translations and a close analysis of all the extant Muslim sources – both Arabic and Persian – which deal with the battle of Manzikert are provided in the book. It also looks at these writings as literary works and vehicles of religious ideology and analyses the ongoing confrontation between the Muslim Turks and Christian Europe and the importance of Manzikert in the formation of the modern state of Turkey since 1923.

Islam: A New Historical Introduction


Took a few weeks off to visit my old home and my in-laws in South Korea. I should be back to writing now that jet lag and general business are disappearing.
While I was there, I had a few ideas for new stories. I don't know if I'll elaborate yet, since I don't know where they'll end up, but if something becomes of the ideas, I'll explain them here, first.

South African cinema was at the heart of the Focus section of the 48th edition of Visions du Réel in 2017. Visions du Réel honoured many different shades of documentary filmmaking in its 'South Africa, the 'Rainbow Nation'.
Visions du Réel is one of the only Swiss film festivals to present a majority of its films as world or international premieres. Alongside a very varied programme, the Festival also offers masterclasses, debates with film directors, meetings with professionals and many cultural mediation activities.
The Festival also has a film market with Industry activities, one of the most important in Europe. Visons du Réel's Industry selects and promotes films at every stage of their development and offers a key networking platform for professionals from all around the world. In addition to the Festival, Visions du Réel On Tour promotes the cinéma du réel all year long by organising screenings all over Switzerland.
For the seventh consecutive time the Festival cooperated for the Focus section with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), this time to highlight the creativity and diversity of South African filmmaking, exploring personal, political and social topics.
Nineteen contemporary SA documentaries were screened during the Festival (21–29 April 2017). Five film projects still in development were presented by the South African directors and producers with an opportunity for one-to-one meetings with international TV commissioning editors, producers, distributors and funds during the Focus Talk (25 April 2017).
At the end of this special day offering discussions, case studies and gatherings with the South African guests – directors, producers, film institutions – to explore the South African cinematographic landscape of the past ten years, as well as the current (co-)production and funding situation, the most promising project was awarded the Prix visions sud est, with a prize of CHF 10,000. The winner was Days of Cannibalism by Teboho Edkins.
"South Africa offers a high quality cinema that cannot be separated from its intense and painful history that has been particularly influenced by the Apartheid Regime, which inevitably influences today's documentary films", explains Luciano Barisone, Director of Visions du Réel. The public is invited to discover a complex and multifaceted country, populated by many ethnicities and with 11 official languages.
"Reflections about the past are omnipresent, but it is the preoccupation about the present and the future of South Africa that dominates the films of these talented filmmakers", adds Barisone.

So we set off from our house at 2pm, fully "togged up" wearing sun caps, sunglasses, not much else in the way of clothing, smothered in Factor 50, and carrying drinking water. Believe me, play by the rules of the sun and it works just fine.
Down the next road, someone is power washing their car and spraying most of it in the garden directly at the family. "Oops, sorry lost control there" (deliberate) it only happened about 12 times but never mind, sod the car. Hence as we're walking towards him, we just knew what was going to happen, first of all it was aimed at our feet. "Oops, sorry lost control there." So we both stood, arms outstretched, legs akimbo and got sprayed head to foot…. "Oops, sorry lost control there." Would we ever make it to the Post Office before it shut up shop for the day…? Did it matter…?
Later on we passed some friends sat outside our local bar, big long greeting ceremony. Canopies out sat in the shade, just like at home. Would we ever get to our destination point…? Did it matter…?
On the way home we bumped into some other friends who we haven't seen for ages.
Next Post I Forgot To Tell You, We're On Spanish TV!


Is Number 11 listening? For the second time in just weeks Lloyd Blankfein, the boss of Goldman Sachs, has taken to the Twittersphere to issue a not-so-veiled warning to London over Brexit.
Those 18 words made the BBC News at Ten.
The Wall Street leviathan has already announced that it is leasing space in a yet-to-be completed 37-storey tower in Frankfurt and though the firm currently has just 200 staff in that city now, there will be room for 1,000 in the new structure.
Which could take a decided Brexit bite out of the 6,000-strong staff headcount presently employed by the bank in London, if that's where they all came from. Interestingly, Goldman is due to move into its new London HQ in March 2019 – just in time for Britain to leave the EU.
Like the financial media mogul Mike Bloomberg, who last week opened his new European headquarters in London, the decision by Goldman to invest in its new 10-storey structure was taken prior to the EU referendum. The good news is that Bloomberg, whose enormously expensive new HQ is the biggest stone building in the City for a century, is still backing London as a financial capital ('for years to come'), even if the man himself decried the public's decision as 'stupid'.
The noises from Wall Street are hard to misinterpret. Let's hope that the chancellor, as well as London, is taking heed. Certainty — whether it's passporting or based on a platform of regulatory equivalence — for the UK's financial services post-Brexit is essential. If the Americans all troop off to Paris or Frankfurt, it'll make Kensington much more affordable, but at what cost?

Navy vet Sturgill Simpson's country music breakthrough
On his fantastic new album A Sailor's Guide to Earth, Sturgill Simpson uses life at sea to inspire songs about separation from family and a longing for home. Simpson himself grew up in Kentucky and claims he joined the Navy on a whim when driving past a recruiting station.
After three years which included service in Japan and Southeast Asia, he left the service. "I wasn't very good at taking orders," he told Garden and Gun in 2014.
After he came home and started a music career, it turned out he wasn't very good at taking orders from Nashville, either. Simpson wasn't cut out for the kind of trucks-and-beer pop country that's dominated the charts over the last decade and made his name on independently-released albums. He had a breakthrough with 2014's Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, produced by Dave Cobb (who's made a name for himself producing fellow Nashville rebels Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell).
Atlantic Records signed Simpson and gave him total freedom to make Sailor's Guide, which he produced himself. What he made is a compact album (39 minutes, just like the old days!) that combines '70s Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with Stax Records-style horns, Al Green keyboard grooves and a Elvis in Memphis vibe.
On the track "Sea Stories," he talks about joining the Navy:
Basically it's just like papaw says:
"Keep your mouth shut and you'll be fine"
Just another enlisted egg
In the bowl for Uncle Sam's beater
When you get to Dam Neck
Hear a voice in your head
Saying, "my life's no longer mine"
He also includes a cover of Nirvana's "In Bloom," where he adds a new lyric. After the line "You don't know what it means" (where there's a howling guitar squall on the original version), Simpson sings "to love someone," a line he says he imagined was there for years after he first heard the Nirvana version. Fans of the BeeGees (and the innumerable soul covers of the song) will appreciate the "To Love Someone" reference.
There's zero Autotune on the vocals, so this kind of gritty, soulful music may sound a bit weird to fans of Little Big Town or Florida-Georgia Line. None of the songs sound like truck commercials, so you're probably not going to hear this music on commercial country radio. If Chris Stapleton got your attention last year, though, Simpson's album is a logical next step into the world of traditional country.
The album's for sale in all the digital music stores, CDs are really cheap at Amazon and you can stream it on Spotify or Apple Music before you buy. Check out the first two videos from the album below.
Sturgill's daring cover of Nirvana's "In Bloom"
The album's first single is "Brace for Impact (Live a Little)"


I first heard of the small Romanian town of Brasov from a friend who had spent the best part of six months there in 1967 working on a film about Trajan. Called Columna it was financed by the Romanian government and featured a panoply of European and Romanian actors. It was made at that moment in Romanian history when Nicolae Ceaușescu had only been in power for two years and had not yet become the self styled monstrous Geniul din Carpați or genius of the Carpathians. My friend talked of this small town in Transylvania as a magical lost place. A Romanian Grand Meaulnes full of beautiful sights and generous people. She recalled that it might have been mutton stew every night but the front doors were always open and the church bells rang throughout the day.
Brasov is still a city full of romantic legends. An elegant small town with a distinct Hapsburgian flavour complete with onion dome churches and beautiful two storey stucco houses in a variety of ice cream shades. It is a glimpse of a forgotten past and a lost Europe. The Europe of Buddenbrooks and Sandor Marai. Small lanes that you get lost in, tiny alleys between buildings that you need to hold your breath in to pass through in order to get to glorious small squares and parks on the other side. Brasov is also surrounded by the spectacular Carpathian mountains. In no time at all one can escape into a rich verdant landscape that has not changed since the Dacians roamed those very mountains fighting the aforementioned Trajan. Indeed the very name of the town is writ large on one of the mountains like the famous gleaming white Hollywood sign. In fact one of the many local legends has it that the Los Angelinos got the idea in 1923 for the original Hollywoodland sign from Brasov and not the other way round.
Another peculiar feature of the town is that it has two other names besides Brasov – the Hungarian Brasso and the German Kronstadt. Brasso is from when the kings of Hungary settled there in the early 12th century and it became one of the seven fortresses of the Carpathians. The German name for Transylvania is Siebenburger – seven towns. One does not hear much Magyar in Brasso now although the odd shop sign still exists if you look hard enough but you certainly hear German of the Austrian variety in the churches and cafes and more often than not it is the language of choice. Extraordinary really as the Brasov Saxons have had little contact with their German relations for over eight centuries. Kronstadt was the name given the town by original Brasov Saxons from its Latin name of Corona. They are supposed to be the children of Hamelin who were led away to the mountains by the dastardly Pied Piper. They emerged from their underground travels into the centre of Brasov.
Characterised by a love of music and a polyglot atmosphere Brasov is the perfect city for a festival of young musicians coming together to play the much loved works of the great Romanian composer George Enescu who died sixty years ago this year. Like the Columna actors of 1967 the musicians of 2015 were from all over Europe – Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Germany, France, Ukraine, Russia and Romania. Most of them had met studying in London or even earlier at the Yehudi Menuhin School. An appropriate school as Menuhin was Enescu's favourite pupil and in many ways his spiritual son. The young musicians were re-united in Brasov thanks to their devotion to their friend and the festival director Vlad Maistorovici. Most said that they had agreed to come to Brasov because they simply missed playing together on a regular basis as they had done throughout their school and university years.
Violinist and composer Maistorovici founded the festival with his life partner the pianist Diana Ionescu. Brasov seemed like the ideal choice as it offered a perfect backdrop to an ambitious and original festival held from 7th to 14th June, 2015. They decided to call it Vibrate Festival from the Enescu quote "What is important in art, is to vibrate yourself and to make others vibrate." A somewhat unfortunate name in English that apparently sounds better in the original Romanian. The festival was primarily a celebration of Enescu's chamber music but also with works by other composers who had inspired Enescu or influenced him. There were a few works by composers who were inspired by Enescu including Arvo Part. It was a fitting tribute and ended with a concert on June 15th in Bucharest at the opulent Enescu Museum. The museum is the Bucharest Palace of the Cantacuzene family and looks a bit like a rather grand hotel on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. All elaborate art nouveau nymphs and imposing lions with flashing eyes. Enescu stayed there with his wife Maruca Cantacuzene but could not bear the heavy grandeur of the palace and actually lived in a simple dacha like house in the back garden with not a garland or feline in sight.
Patrick Leigh Fermor visited Brasov on his famous walk in the mid 1930s from London to Istanbul. He said of the small town that after the famous Black Church which is still exhibits a world class collection of Ottoman carpets and the Piața Sfatului or market place 'it was the bars and backstreets that drew one most.' This is as true in 2015 as it was in 1934. Maistorovici and Ionescu live part of the year in Brasov and are aware of the charm of the place. Their original idea had been to literally invade the town with music and to choose all sorts of unexpected venues for their festival in those very back streets. It was a total onslaught on the sleepy town. Almost all the concerts were free and open to all. They were held in baroque churches, a famous high school, a house museum, a Bohemian cafe, a weavers' bastion, the synagogue and the brand new university hall. Each concert had a different feel and character from intimate to ornate, from imposing to professorial, from groovy to classic.
The grooviest show must have been Classical Club Night with DJ Prokofiev at the Bistro de L'Arte off Enescu Square. DJ Prokofiev is Gabriel Prokofiev and is the grandson of the Russian composer. He presided over a fiendish performance of his work Cello Multitrack with the British cellist Ashok Klouda playing against himself recorded earlier that day and another cellist who had been recorded in London. Quite extraordinary and draining for all concerned in the very complexity and intricacy of the music. Even the sheet music was exhausting to behold. The gilded youth of Brasov did not quite know what had hit them. Ashok Klouda played what for me was the highlight of the festival with the Spanish cellist Pau Codina and the Romanian organist Steffen Schlandt. Enescu's Adagio Religioso for organ and two cellos is a work of such astounding beauty and simplicity that the vast auditorium of the Aula University was suddenly transformed into a small parish church on a quiet winter Sunday. The piece was played with such finesse and heart stopping sensitivity by all three musicians that if ever there was any doubt that Enescu is a major composer this exquisite piece silenced it once and for all.
The most satisfying concerts at the Vibrate Festival were the site specific ones that managed to combine a sense of community with an excellence in music. String Theory was played at the Neological Synagogue and featured works by Ysaye, Sergei Prokofiev and the wonderful Souvenir de Florence by Tchaikovsky. It was an imaginative exploration into the diversity and delight created by string players at the very start of their careers. New Vibes was held at the Muresenilor House Museum overlooking the Main Square. A fabulous apartment full of heavily striped wallpaper mixed with local Biedermeyer furniture and French 18th century bergere chairs. Gilded chandeliers and porcelain stoves. Paintings of ancestors and photographs of Brasov through the ages. The house was the home of the Mureşianu family who were writers and scholars and who also published the Gazeta Transilvaniei. The concert featured the Russian violinist Valeriy Sokolov and his Ukranian pianist Mikhail Sporov. It was like being taken back in time and accepting an invitation to a musical soiree in the home of a famous poet. The audience had dressed up for the occasion including two little girls in white organdie dresses and pink velvet hair ribbons.
A Musical Promenade was at the Weavers' Bastion – a unique structure dating from the fifteenth century. Nestled in the foothills of the Carpathians with the smells of the pine woods and meadows infiltrating the stillness of an early summer night. We were treated to a spirited performance of the Bach Cello Suite No 1 by the very talented Pau Codina followed by the Enescu Octet. The musicians had practised in the medieval tower of the agricultural faculty of the university until 2 in the morning to get it right. Eight young musicians attacking a piece known for its difficulty – the Octet has the same reputation for difficulty amongst string players as the Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto has for pianists. Ruth Gibson, Natalie Klouda, Valeriy Sokolov, Franceso Sica, Claude Frochaux Daniel Palmizio and Pau Codina played perfectly under the watchful bow of Vlad Maistorovici. It was a triumph. They also played another wonderful octet by Mendelssohn in the Church of St Peter and St Paul earlier on the festival…both are recorded in rehearsal below.
Perhaps the fitting place to end is the Music for Adolescents concert held during school hours at the famed Saguna High School. It was a brave and vigourous event that gave the young of Brasov a taste of the thrill of music. It was an inspiring afternoon spent in the 18th century panelled classroom of this wonderful building with teachers, parents and pupils all enthralled to the music of Dvorak, Shostakovich and Mahler. It may have a silly name but the Vibrate Festival certainly made us vibrate to the possibilities and delights of classical music in many wonderful settings in a town with three names and many legends.

Willow Run Airport to gain land from GM Powertrain site for runway expansion
By Amy Biolchini
The east-west runway on the north side of Willow Run Airport will be expanded from 7,200 feet long to 9,550 feet long.
Related: Connected vehicle research center slated for former Willow Run plant
The Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti Township may soon gain access to property it needs to expand one of its runways, officials announced Thursday.
The Wayne County Airport Authority, of which Willow Run Airport is a part, is engaged in a land swap with RACER Trust.
The trust is the entity that owns the former Willow Run GM Powertrain plant adjacent to the airport property.
A portion of land north of the plant that's immediately west of the airport's east-west runway will soon be under the airport authority's control, officials said.
In exchange, the airport authority will be giving RACER Trust the land on which the former GM Powertrain plant's wastewater treatment facility sits.
The runway expansion is a part of $182 million in upgrades the airport is seeking in the next 10 years.
The east-west runway runs parallel to Ecorse Road. Airport officials want to extend it from 7,200 feet long to 9,550 feet long, enabling larger planes to take off from the facility fully loaded with fuel and freight.

"The east-west runway runs parallel to Ecorse Road. Airport officials want to extend it from 7,200 feet long to 9,550 feet long, enabling larger planes to take off from the facility fully loaded with fuel and freight." Sounds exactly like what Ann Arbor city airport is attempting to do. Didn't the representatives from the Ann Arbor city airport state the expansion was solely for "safety" reasons? Heh right.

Another 1350 feet of runway is good because the runway behind is of no more use than the air in your tanks or the altitude above.

Let's just Hope that RACER (the "Old" GM discarded "assets," now "owned" 100% by us taxpayers) will dedicate a tiny portion of the North End of the Henry Ford WWII Bomber Plant to the Yankee Air Museum! It will be a Win-Win when Congressman Dingell, Dean of the House of Representatives, longest serving member in the history of the United States Congress, Godfather of the U.S. National Park Service National Battlefield Park in Monroe at the River Raisin Massacre of Kentuckians marching to relieve Fort Wayne in the War of 1812, gets Congressional approval for an "Arsenal of Democracy" WWII National Battlefield Park at Willow Run! Do it Big John! Get 'er Done!

Thu, Sep 5, 2013 : 8:53 p.m.
Coupled with Thursday's announcement of a new connected vehicle research center at the former GM Powertrain site, upgrades at the airport will open doors for opportunities and for new tax revenue for Ypsilanti Township. http://www.annarbor.com/business-review/connected-vehicle-research-center-slated-for-former-willow-run-plant/

Overall this is great news. After decades of being an economic "black hole" this area will be busy with redevelopment and jobs.

GDPR: 8 Measures to Ensure the Compliance of your Contact Center
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is coming. This European regulation on privacy and data protection takes effect on May 25, 2018 and supersedes the current data protection directives and legislation.
The purpose of the GDPR is to strengthen the privacy and data protection of European citizens by giving them more control over their personal data, protection against data loss, and unifying data privacy regulations across Europe. But it does not only affect European companies. Any company working with data from customers, employees, vendors or European partners, is liable in terms of this regulation. In case of non-compliance, fines can go up to 20 million euros or 4% of the company's turnover.
For Customer Service companies, in particular, the GDPR seems threatening. All personal information, regardless of where it is used, must be protected and this protection must be proven and verified. It shall be guaranteed to citizens the right to access their data, and the right to rectification, elimination or limitation of its processing. These requirements have a direct link to customer satisfaction and corporate reputation. They can generate a significant increase in the number of interactions, overloading the Contact Center and the departments involved in these processes.
The question then arises as how to counteract compliance with the GDPR, with the overall corporate objectives for customer service and management. Fortunately, compliance with the GDPR is ongoing and the GoContact platform is ensuring it.
Focus on Essential Information
As technology evolves from face-to-face relationships in a store to more digital relationships, it is important to determine the right moments in the customer journey to ask for his data. Confidence sets in with time. Structuring the questions and asking customers at the right time is important to get the necessary data and permissions from them. Questioning their preferences is essential to maintain these permissions and increase responsiveness to information. Resist the temptation to try to get as much data as possible in an initial interaction.
Build Information Access Profiles
The GDPR also requires companies to use as minimum data as needed to successfully complete a given task. This has implications for the amount of data that must be collected, and the availability of data within the organization. In a Contact Center, if an Outbound sales team only needs to access the customer's phone number, and does not need his address, for example, then this information should not be visible. If an Inbound support team needs the address to schedule interventions at the customer's home, for example, then this information may be visible.
In order to respond to this GDPR requirement, it is essential for the Contact Center platform to allow the creation and configuration of data access and customer information profiles. These profiles must then be carefully assigned, to ensure that the agents and the rest of the Contact Center team only has access to the data they actually need.
Facilitate Data Management in the Platform
The Contact Center platform must be prepared to allow users to easily, quickly and effortlessly correct, eliminate, or change customer data usage preferences without any complication or security concern.
Educate Your Team
Ensuring that your company complies with the GDPR starts with a team that understands this regulation, its fundamental concepts, and is trained to know how to act accordingly. Most likely, these will be the agents job, to clarify to customers what data is stored, why, and what your company does to it. Train your team to deal with these issues unambiguously.
Store everything in One Place
In the area of Contact Centers and Customer Service, the evolution of technology in recent years has been exponential. The use of this type of technology separately, in different systems, with different management processes, represents a potential risk of nonconformity. Likewise, growth with this type of infrastructure represents an even greater risk, where data is stored in a distributed way rather than a centralized way. Only by centralizing everything in a single system and platform will it be possible to audit and ensure compliance with the GDPR on an ongoing basis. For customers, their data must be available in a concise, transparent and easily accessible way, with clear and simple language. To achieve this, it is important to have a Contact Center platform that ensures compliance with the regulation.
Security and Data Encryption
The importance of data security against possible attacks and unlawful access is not a new issue. However, the GDPR provides new guidelines to address these security breaches. It is essential to ensure that customer data is encrypted, as well as the communication between the browser and the server, and that its visibility to the company's employees is controlled. Minimizing data and rigorously examining the Contact Center platform will reduce the likelihood of data exposure in a security breach. If there is a breach of customer personal data, the GDPR says that the regulatory authority has to be notified within 72 hours.
Create a Team Dedicated to Data Management
Establishing a team dedicated to data management and communication with customers becomes a requirement with the GDPR. This team should have a view of all communications with customers and define internal strategies to address these communications. This can only be achieved by combining technology, and information obtained through the Contact Center platform, and the supervision of this dedicated team. This approach reduces the GDPR major source of risk, customers' complaints.
Anticipating Consumer Trends
Use the features of your Contact Center platform to anticipate consumer trends and preferences in the area of data usage. Review customer responsiveness to your campaigns by monitoring negative events, such as the number of unopened emails, that can lead customers to revoke their consent or unsubscribe from a list. Proactive management of customer data is essential to ensure that customers have the best possible experience.
Is your Contact Center Ready?
When the 25th of May arrives, companies with customers in Europe must be prepared for the arrival of the GDPR. By examining the issue of protection beyond this regulation, companies can take advantage of the systems they use, such as the GoContact platform, to improve the relationship with their customers. At GoContact, we have a dedicated consulting team to help companies enforce and configure their Contact Centers with the GDPR in mind.

I was always in love with the elegant and modern Rolex GMT II PVD, and I have always dreamt of having one, but I just never got around to purchasing it. The main reason is its considerable high price. This is why a couple of months ago I have bought myself a replica of this beautiful black Rolex GMT II model. The original watch was created especially for pilots and for long distance travelers who need to simultaneously read the time of different time zones. What is even more amazing about this design is that it can show three time zones due to the addition of a rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel and a separate 24-hour hand. Needless to say that this model has become very fashionable and nowadays it is used even by people who do not necessarily need the extra time zones function. The watch looks very nice and the combination between the PVD coating and the ceramic bezel is simply brilliant.
I think that because the GMT hand can be very easily changed without setting the minutes or hours, this turns the additional time zones option into a very cool feature. This very interesting function may come in handy if you have a friend or family in a different time zone and you always want to know what time it is over there before calling.
Honestly, I am quite satisfied with my replica in terms of style and aesthetics. What I just adore about this design are the simple lines, classy looks and luxurious details. Everything about the Rolex GMT II PVD speaks of a refined elegance and makes you want to own one. I am perfectly aware of the fact that it is a replica, but it is still a darn good one. I have turned this watch upside down trying to find differences, but it is almost impossible to spot any design mistakes between my fake and the original Rolex.
You literarily need to be a watch expert to tell that this is just a clone of the authentic GMT Master II. After long hours of comparing and staring at the watch, the only difference I found was the wrong order of the hands stack. What does this mean? The GMT hour hand should always be placed over the hour hand and not under it. My fake watch has the GMT hand under the hour hand and this is a sign that it is a replica. Luckily, not many people know this very small detail and it is also not very visible. I really do not think that anyone will ever notice it.
Another thing that raises a serious question mark regarding the authenticity of the watch is the "PRO-HUNTER" text printed on the lower part of the dial. The PRO-HUNTER special edition Rolex GMT Master II was issued in a series of 100 pieces so it is a highly exclusive design. I obviously do not look like the kind of guy who could afford such a rare collector's item and neither the type of person that has the influence to even get close to one.
Besides these very small details, there are no other noticeable differences between this imitation and the real watch. The case, the crystal, bezel, dial and the band look identical to the original GMT Master II. The replica is also made from solid and sturdy materials which makes it quite heavy and feels good on the wrist. It has almost the same weight as the authentic Rolex. As far as the time accuracy goes, I must confess that it is actually pretty good. It keeps good time even if you wouldn't expect this from an automatic movement knock-off.
The all black design of the Rolex GMT II PVD is definitely my favorite timepiece because it is modern and classy at the same time. It is a model with a lot of style and a fashion jewelry that adds an incredible appeal to the person wearing it. Now, after finally receiving my replica and wearing it for a couple of months I am positive that I have made the right choice. I have saved a lot of money by buying a good fake and I have also turned into reality my dream of owning this beautiful watch.
I'm really not used with automatic watches. I hate the fact that you have to wear them every day or constantly winding them. Do you have a solution for this hassle?
Do you know what other black Rolex replicas are available? I like the all black look.
Unlike silver or gold color watches, full black wristwatches have a unique cool vibe. I only own one black case Daytona, but I want to expand my collection and the black GMT seems the right choice for my style. I currently live in France and I want to know what the best way to order is. How long for delivery and what credit cards do you take?
Thank you very much for reading by blog.
I am very happy to finally find someone who shares my passion for all black watches. Indeed, these look very unique and beautiful.
As I was saying before, this is just a blog where I share my opinions. It isn't a store and I don't sell replicas. The store where I bought this GMT Master II delivers to France, the delivery takes about a week and it takes Visa and Mastercard.


Tampa, FL (May 20, 2016) – After-School All-Stars (ASAS), with support from the New York Life Foundation, Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the City of Tampa, is proud to launch its newest chapter in Tampa Bay today. Tampa Bay is the fourth of six ASAS chapters to be launched thanks to a $4 million, four-year grant from the New York Life Foundation. The multi-year grant is the largest in ASAS's 20+ year history.
Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the City of Tampa Parks & Recreation Department have been instrumental in bringing ASAS to Tampa Bay. They supported the program from the beginning and connected ASAS with Memorial Middle School, the site of the first ASAS Tampa program. Tampa is the third Florida city to host ASAS and Memorial Middle School the 41st Florida school to receive its comprehensive program helping students succeed in school and in life.
Event Format: Interactive program where students team up with guests to provide hands-on lessons showcasing what they've learned about flying drones, playing lacrosse and cooking healthy meals.
Today's launch celebration at Memorial Middle School will showcase a few of the fun activities that regularly take place in ASAS programs. Guests including local government officials, agents from New York Life, and local business leaders will team up with students to try their hand at flying drones, playing lacrosse and cooking healthy meals. Speakers from ASAS, the New York Life Foundation and the local community will explain why they so passionately support after-school education and how it transforms communities for the better by keeping kids safe and engaged, providing parents the peace of mind to focus on their jobs.
Despite after-school program participation increases over the last decade, a recent Afterschool Alliance household survey found that for every child enrolled in an afterschool program, two more would like to enroll if one were available. This is especially true in Florida: 46% of children not enrolled would likely join a program if they could.
"Every kid, no matter their circumstances, deserves an opportunity to participate in a high quality after school program. After-School All-Stars provides this opportunity for some of Tampa's most vulnerable kids due to no fault of their own. We are committed to creating a learning environment that is safe and conducive for high academic achievement, enrichment and wellness activities. This holistic approach will give every student a chance to grow, prosper and serve their communities and beyond – at no cost to the student," said Michael Brown, Executive Director of ASAS Tampa. Brown grew up in an urban, low-income neighborhood and has dedicated his 27-year career to non-profit leadership and youth development programs. Brown oversees ASAS programs, including STEM curriculum, career exploration, service learning, sports and fitness. Certified teachers provide academic coaching and students receive dinner at no cost. The targeted outcomes are lower absenteeism, improved academic performance, and greater motivation to graduate from high school and attend college.
Founded in 1992 by Arnold Schwarzenegger, After-School All-Stars (ASAS) is a leading national provider of year-round, school-based, comprehensive afterschool programs. The organization's mission is to keep children safe and help them succeed in school and in life. Every school day, students in low-income communities have access to free programs that offer academic support, enrichment opportunities, and health and fitness activities. 72,000+ children from 15 U.S. regions benefit: Atlanta, Chicago, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Newark New York, North Texas, Ohio, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, South Florida and Washington, D.C., and, beginning in 2016, Cleveland and Tampa. For more information, visit www.as-as.org.
Inspired by New York Life's tradition of service and humanity, the New York Life Foundation has, since its founding in 1979, provided $217 million in charitable contributions to national and local nonprofit organizations. The Foundation supports programs that benefit young people, particularly in the areas of educational enhancement and childhood bereavement. The Foundation also encourages and facilitates the community involvement of employees, agents, and retirees of New York Life through its Volunteers for Good program.

Rpcv Writer Phillip Margolin Speaking In Central Oregon
[...] Rpcv Writer Phillip Margolin Speaking In Central Oregon [...]
Author and former criminal defense attorney Phillip Margolin will speak in Central Oregon. This is a piece that appeared today (September 1, 2009) in The Bulletin by David Jasper. It is an interview with Phillip Margolin (Liberia 1966-68) one of the more successful RPCV writers. • "Good afternoon, law offices," says a receptionist for author Phillip Margolin, focus of Deschutes Public Library's Celebrate Oregon Author series for the month of September. The Portland-based writer of 14 best-sellers may have stepped away from a 25-year career as an attorney back in 1996, but that didn't mean he was going to surrender his office. "I just kept my old office," says Margolin, 65. "I like having a place to come … to. For me, it's nicer to have an office. There's just a lot of stuff I do downtown. I work out downtown … take coffee breaks and snacks and lunch." He'll . . .
Ernie might blog about fishing. But would any of these writers (or any writer worth his or her salt) Twitter?…
They tell a story of Thomas Wolfe when he lived in New York on First Avenue. Late one night the writer Nancy Hale, who lived on East 49th Street near Third Avenue, heard a kind of chant, which grew louder. She got out of bed and looked out of the window at two or three in the morning and there was the great figure of Thomas Wolfe, advancing in his long countryman's stride, with his swaying black raincoat. As he went striding down the dark city street, he was chanting, "I wrote ten thousand words today – I wrote ten thousand words today." Well, wait until his editor Maxwell Perkins got hold of it! There are stories of how Maxwell Perkins would arrive in Wolfe's Village apartment–where Wolfe wrote standing up, using the top of the refrigerator as his desk–and Perkins would take boxloads of handwritten prose away with him, saying, "you're done . . .

on 101.1 FM 7pm, tommy Lloyd and Kelly Graves will be on.
• Tom Lloyd: We're attacking this season like we did last year. were planning to go to Michigan state and scrap out a win.
• TL: on depth, good and bad. we have alot young guys competing. our thing is if they are making the small steps and learning the intricacies, if they are, we feel good about it.
• TL - guys fighting for p.t. ? yeah. never had to play so many young guys. we have a pretty solidified starting 5. 4th & 5th perimeter players and so forth are looking for p.t., too, yeah, lotta conversations re how that's going to play out.
• TL: q - how's the p.t. working underneath ? L -we look at a game as 80 mins. of p.t. We've gotta decide how much can they (RS & EH) chew up. third big good for 20. 4th big 8-10 mins. so we been weighing it out. Do we wanna redshirt someone ? or play it out ? now you got 3-4 sharing 8 mins. that's difficult.
• KG - re subs and bench strength & p.t. for women. G - "We have to preach team concept. all about the team. we say it matters who finishes, not who starts. we have similar philosophy on our minutes (p.t.) chart (as men's team). one luxury we have is versatility. redmon played 1-4 positions in our exhibiiton game. vivian, too, has played em all. we have the luxury and can juggle depending on opponent. but throughout the year, the depth is a good and a bad thing, as tommy says. We've never had better practices. we don't go long (about 2 hrs) but they are intense. we're not teaching as much this year. and we've asked our frosh to move faster and make sure they play at a higher level.
• KG- re youngsters, what expect ? Sure, megan winters, came in the other night and did real well. she may be after tiffany, our 3 pt shooter. caitlin Peterson is going to be special. She's terrific. she guards courtney in practice has great court visiion and is going to be good in time.
•#TL - new faces , been surprised by anyone ? feel good about where they all are. scratch your head, too. GJ has flipped the switch, played great vs TX. didn't make mistakes. got the ball to Matt & Steven. KO is really developing. Manny played great. His challenge is to bring it every day in practice. Harris is a tremendous player. lotta experience. Gibbs and Poling been great, too, and make great role players. We're happy with em all, wish we didn't have em all at once.
re sam: 14 shots in 17 minutes, we call him slinging sam. he can shoot 3's, pick and pop and there were lots of shots to be found. He found them.
• KG - Heather is pushing up againt the conference historical high scoring record this year. Courtney can score as well as dish, too. so scoring isn't going to be an issue. consistency is what were looking for. we've had 7 players who have scored 20+ in a game. but consistency is the key. 12 and 6 every game would be great.
• TL: expecting matt and steven to take care of Off? "interesting how it plays. if they ave. 14-15 night, it'd be nice to get MB and SG up there and spread the rest. last year we had 7-8 who could score 20 in a game. but the question was at crunch time who is going to finish the game for us ? that was an issue last year and that is where MB stepped up and tried. we have to solve that again this year. hopefully its MB, but maybe it'll be RS or elias. we don't know yet.
re: RS - his development has been great, recruited all over the country, and he came to Gonzaga. He came in without much experience, nightly competition. He's at a point now where he's ready for a break out year. there are some unknowns. We have to see what happens under the lights when the situaiton is different. we'll see.
• TL: re sked: wake, michigan st, duke , ok memphis, Ill - toughest year ? well, for us, our kids come to GU to play in those kinds of games. our philosophy is to put us in a posiiton to get a post season bid. if we play and ake care of business, that seems to put us in good favor with NCAA and this is one of our goals.
KG: we have the same philosophy as the men's team. we take on the tough schedules to build our resume" and play after the school year. we want to play the best. and that's what we do. we've got not just big names but pretty darn good teams at all levels this year.
the coaches show was originally listed to be live on All Access but it wouldn't play. Later, it was removed from the schedule. Anyone know what happened?
OK, Zag women are at 34 on the AP top 25 (http://www.cbssports.com/ncaawbasketball/polls/ap). USC women are at about 32. Now the surprise to me is the team the Zag women play this next Friday the 13th is South Dakota State. They are currently 16 on the same AP top 25. If our gals win Friday the next poll might look different.
Interesting comment about Manny "bringing it to practice" everyday. Was the implication he needs to work harder in practice? Seems to be out of character with a guy everyone is saying goes all out every game.
When is the last time the girls have been ranked higher than the guys? Way to go Coach Graves!!

Her name is Liz and she's 34 and she works in a bar in Passaic called the Coo Coo's Nest, which is probably the most appropriate name ever given to anything.
It is a go go bar and I go there because the place has tables where I can drink and write without anyone bothering me, too much.
Liz, the hostess, delivers drinks to the tables and she sees me writing and bends over me with more than just a literary interest.
It's a strange place for a woman like her and her sweet smile. She doesn't fit here. She doesn't look older than 18 either. This makes her seem even more innocent. I ask how she stands the place. She smiles and tells me she'd tell me later, and later, she hands me here number, saying we should have coffee together.
Yet, she's here, surviving this world and its hard faces, surviving me and the strange man beside me, and the man beyond that.
She mentions vaguely that her husband left her and her seven year old child.
I want to ask why a man would leave a woman like her?
Those words won't come out of me, and shouldn't.
You just don't make those connections in this world. You sit; you listen; you take what you can get.
And she likes me. You can't ask questions like that when someone leans over you with that bit of sexuality in her eyes.
A week ago, I told her this was a rotten place to pick people up in, too much raw energy, too mush lust.
She only smiled with that compact smile of her sand touched my hand, and all I kept thinking of was of weeds and flowers, a whole lot of weeds and this one tender flower growing in the least likely place of all.
So now I have her number and a piece of her heart, not a lot, but something, and it strikes me strange how a human can make contact with another human even in a hell-bent place like the Coo Coo's Nest.
So maybe I'll called her, maybe3 I'll reach out this time and make contact with the single lovely flower and maybe I'll find out why such souls spend their lives alone. Why their husbands leave, how they survive in bars like this.

LIGHTNING RECAP – MARCH 2
by Leo Haggerty | Mar 3, 2021 | Professional | 0 comments
GAMES 17 THROUGH 20
A great four game stretch for the Bolts. All four were victories extending the Lightning winning streak to five games but, even more important, eight big points against teams that were at the top of the Central Division.
Here's how it played out. Enjoy.
CAROLINA HURRICANES 0 TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 3
The Bolts rode a hot goalie to a 3-0 shutout of the visiting Canes. Tampa Bay moved to 12-4-1 on the campaign and Carolina dropped to 12-5-1 in 2020-21.
Tampa Bay jumped out to an early lead and the first Lightning goal was a significant one. In his first National Hockey League game, and on his second shift on the ice, F Ross Colton (1) scored his first NHL goal at 6:43 of the opening period.
Had a chance to talk with Colton after the game and asked him how excited he was to get that first goal in his first NHL contest. He responded, "Yeah, I think that put the icing on the cake. I think, for me, it was just playing the right way and showing the coaches that I can play at this level. The goal was just a bonus. Honestly, I think the team played extremely well and Vasey was awesome between the pipes. Defensively, it was huge especially when they turned it on at the end. I think the win was more important and that what made the night better, for sure."
The Bolts went up 2-0 at 17:27 of the first period. F Blake Coleman (4) maneuvered the puck past Carolina G Alex Nedeljkovic (25 saves on 27 shots) and that score would stand as both teams went to their dressing room at the end of the first 20 minutes of play.
In the second and third periods, the goalies were the story. Both Nedeljkovic and Lightning G Andrei Vasilevskiy (saved all 25 shots) were spectacular with #88 just being a little better.
The Lightning scored with just 35 seconds left in regulation. F Barclay Goodrow (4) tallied an empty netter to make the final arithmetic 3-0 in favor of Tampa Bay.
CAROLINA HURRICANS 1 TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 3
Tampa Bay won their third straight contest with a 3-1 triumph over Carolina at Amalie Arena. The Lightning improved to 13-4-1 this season while the Hurricanes fell to 12-6-1 this year.
The Canes were the first to dent the scoreboard at 14:23 of the opening period. D Brett Pease (2) put the puck behind Bolts G Curtis McElhinney (31 saves on 32 shots) and that was the only scoring in the initial 20 minutes of play.
Tampa Bay knotted the score at one all 12:39 of the second period. D Mikhail Sergachev (1) lit the lamp and, all of a sudden, it was a hockey game.
The Lightning took the lead for good at the 6:22 mark of the final period. F Yanni Gourde (5) deposited the rubber disc behind Canes G James Reimer (19 saves on 21 shots) to give the Bolts their first lead of the evening at 2-1.
Goodrow (5) capped the scoring with 1:16 left in regulation. The empty net score, the second for #19 in as many nights, made the final arithmetic 3-1 in favor of Tampa Bay
DALLAS STARS 0 TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 5
The Bolts made it four in a row with a convincing 5-0 whitewashing of the Stars in a rematch of the 2020 Stanley Cup finals at Amalie Arena. Tampa Bay advanced to 14-4-1 while Dallas declined to 6-6-4.
The Lightning lit up the scoreboard first at 13:18 of the first period. F Ondrej Palat (8) put the biscuit in the basket to give the Bolts a 1-0.
The Lightning broke the contest open with three second period markers. The first was a shorthanded score by F Anthony Cirelli (5) at 4:06. That was followed at 8:17 when F Brayden Point (7) lit the lamp. F Pat Maroon (2) finished off the middle period trifecta with a power play counter at 15:12.
Tampa Bay completed the scoring at 1:07. F Steven Stamkos (10) goal gave the Bolts a 5-0 advantage. That also ended the evening for Stars G Anton Khudobin (11 saves on 16 shots) when he was replaced by G Jake Oettinger (saved all 5 shots) who finished out the contest.
A big part of the Lightning win was Vasilevskiy. #88 pitched his second consecutive shutout (saved all 20 shots) to keep the Bolts victory train on tracks.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 2 DALLAS STARS 0
The second game of the two game set moved to Texas. The venue was different but the outcome was the same as the visiting Lightning notched their fifth straight success with a 2-0 victory over the Stars in Dallas.
Again, Vasilevskiy was the key in posting his third consecutive shutout. "The Big Cat" turned away all 28 Dallas shots as the Bolts raised their record to 15-4-1 while the Stars slipped to 6-7-4.
Tampa Bay got the only goal they would need at 7:29 of the opening period. Palat (9) managed to get the puck past Khudobin (17 saves on 18 shots) with the Lightning with the man advantage.
That would end the scoring until the last 5 seconds of regulation. Gourde (6) connected for an empty net tally to make the final score 2-zip.
I asked Cirelli if, because of the changes in the schedule forcing games to become compacted, his between games regiment changed. He replied, "Yeah, we're playing a lot of games here so there's not a lot of time for practice days when we have so many games in a row like this. I think that it's good that we keep on building each and every game because we have to work on our stuff in games. I think it's good that we're playing the right way. We're working on our system and our structure but, I think, it's better that we keep on getting games in."
Because of the juggling of the schedule, now the Lightning are poised to play four games in six days starting Thursday. The Bolts will head to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks in a rare three game set. Then, is off to The Motor City to start two game series with the Detroit Red Wings.
Look for our next LIGHTNING RECAP around March 9th. Until then, stay safe.

The Except() method requires two collections. It returns a new collection with elements from the first collection which do not exist in the second collection (parameter collection).
Except extension method doesn't return the correct result for the collection of complex types. You need to implement IEqualityComparer interface in order to get the correct result from Except method.
The Except operator is Not Supported in C# & VB.Net Query syntax. However, you can use Distinct method on query variable or wrap whole query into brackets and then call Except().

Panelists include Lauren Villagran, border correspondent for the Albuquerque Journal; Jamie Warren, reporter for KVIA-TV; Samantha Lewis, reporter for KFOX-TV/KDBC-TV; Patrick Hayes, reporter for KTSM-TV; Simon Thompson, multimedia journalist for KRWG-TV/KRWG-FM.
La Manda Fronteriza—Standing Firm On The Border—Frontera Truth Telling: Noted author and screenwriter Denise Chávez will moderated, this panel of writers, historians, educators, community activists, and a former librarian, will look at the impact of truth telling on the U.S./México Border and its ramifications for our greater community.
Environmental reporter Laura Paskus will moderate a panel that includes scientists and writers talking about how to report on science, including climate change, in the "alternative facts" era. Discussions will include building relationships with scientists and trust with the public, how to communicate scientific uncertainty in a way that's both accurate and understandable, knowing how to distinguish peer reviewed science from opinions, and understanding what resources are out there for journalists interested in science reporting.
A showing of short films at New Mexico State University with Ilana Lapid will be held on Friday evening, April 21 and is included in the conference registration. Also on Saturday, the Zia Award finalists will read from their books at the Zia Award Luncheon, and the conference concludes with the New Mexico Press Women Communications Contest Awards Banquet.
