Scattershooting on a Monday night while awaiting the arrival of 2020 . . . Happy New Year!
I can count on Jack Finarelli, aka The Sports Curmudgeon, to come through annually with a link to a column by Gene Collier of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It is the column in which Collier uses a whole bunch of words to examine the triteness of language in sports over the previous year. . . . Well, Jack came through on Monday with the link to Collier's column in which he, for the 36th time, awards the Annual Trite Trophy. . . .
At one point, Collier writes:
"Pirates play-by-play guy Joe Block must have set the record for earliest use of If The Playoffs Started Today, coming as it did on May 21, when he said that if the playoffs started that day, the Pirates would have been in a wild-card game.
"On the day the playoffs actually started, the Pirates were in last place, 22 games out."
This is fun stuff — after all, it's not Collier's first rodeo — and it's all right here. Enjoy!
The Fiesta Bowl, in which the Clemson Tigers got past the Ohio State Buckeyes, 29-23, in Phoenix on Saturday night, was all that is great about U.S. college football. We can only hope that the Jan. 13 BCS final, with Clemson meeting LSU in a clash of the Tigers, is as entertaining.
Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, with some observations from the 49ers' 26-21 victory over the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday night:
"Russell Wilson's greatest scramble this year came after Sunday's game, as he tried to explain the Seahawks' delay-of-game penalty. . . .
"While there has been no satisfactory explanation given for the Seahawks' game-wrecking delay-of-game penalty, scientists have found that mental processes — specifically, quick thinking — may be impaired by overly-vigorous chewing of gum. . . .
"NFL referees and their supervisors have no earthly clue what PI is. Some of them believe it is a guy named Magnum."
F Matt Savoie of the Winnipeg Ice cut into the middle of the ice in the offensive zone during the first period on Saturday night and F Marcus Sekundiak of the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings lowered the boom. Savoie, who will turn 16 on New Year's Day, is listed at 5-foot-9 and 178 pounds; Sekundiak, 19, is shown at 5-foot-11 and 188 pounds. . . . Sekundiak wasn't penalized for the hit, but Mike Sawatzky of the Winnipeg Free Press wrote that "Sekundiak . . . was the target of payback afterwards, absorbing a number of punishing hits from Ice players." . . . As expected, the usual sober reflection occurred on social media, with folks suggesting: (a) it was a clean hit; (b) it was a headshot; (c) the Ice should have responded by gooning Sekundiak; (d) Sekundiak should have stayed in close proximity to the unconscious Savoie; (e) there shouldn't be a suspension; (f) a 25-game suspension would suffice . . . and on and on it goes.
Anyway, if you haven't seen the hit . . .
An unfortunate outcome to what I see as a clean hit. Savoie's feet were square with Sekundiak, no hands or elbows up either. Let the debate begin! https://t.co/5CQxPMtKOU

Sekundiak wasn't suspended and played in Brandon's 4-1 victory over the visiting Regina Pats on Monday night. . . . Savoie, who I think it's safe to assume is in concussion protocol, didn't play in Winnipeg's 3-2 victory over the host Prince Albert Raiders on Monday night. BTW, the Ice moved atop the East Division with that victory.
Today marks the day that the Keewatin Arena was renamed the Billy Mosienko Arena.
Billy scored 3 goals in 21 seconds playing for the @NHLBlackhawks, which is a record that still stands today.

With the year's end upon us, there are more lists and awards out there than there are snowflakes in a blizzard. . . . Patti Dawn Swanson, aka the River City Renegade, has joined the club, but her list is different, a whole lot different, than the norm. Check right here to see who earns The Old Man Shouts and Waves His Fist At Clouds Cup, The Flip Flop And Don't Tell A Lie Laurel, and The Tranna Maple Beliebers Bauble, among others. It's all good fun, unless you're a recipient.
"Antonio Brown is working out for the New Orleans Saints," Janice Hough, who is at leftcoastsportsbabe.com, wrote last week. "Have to assume head coach Sean Payton is just (toying) with Roger Goodell."
One more from Hough: "Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin, who just returned from Mar-A-Lago, says despite being voted by NHL fans as an All-Star Game captain he'll accept a one-game suspension and miss the game to 'listen to his body.' So did he miss the message from his body not to go party for a few days and eat junk food with Donald?"
Hough, again: "Melting down over a movie cameo cut by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 2014? With all due respect I have blueberries in my fridge with thicker skins than Trump."

ICYMI, the BCHL's West Kelowna Warriors fired Brandon West, their general manager and head coach, on Friday night. . . . Simon Ferguson was named interim head coach. He was in his second season as head coach of the major midget Okanagan Rockets. . . . John Murphy and Rod Hume, the Warriors' new owners, said in a news release: "This decision is about becoming a better hockey club now and in the future. We are charting a new course and building a new culture." . . . The Warriors were 7-23-7 and in last place in the seven-team Interior Division at the time of the move. . . . Former owner Kim Dobranski hired West on Jan. 28. Murphy and Hume purchased the franchise in October. . . .
Not to be outdone, the Salmon Arm Silverbacks dumped general manager and head coach Scott Atkinson on Monday. Former WHLer Tyler Shattock, who had been on staff as an assistant coach/assistant GM, has taken over as interim head coach. . . . Brooks Christensen, who had been the operations manager, now is the GM. . . . Atkinson had been with the Silverbacks since June 1, 2017. Salmon Arm was 1-8-1 in its 10 games prior to the axe falling. On the season, it is 21-15-2 and third in the Interior Division.
JUST NOTES: Old friend Jay Varady, the head coach of the Tucson Roadrunners, will be the Pacific Division head coach at the AHL's 2020 All-Star Classic in Ontario, Calif., Jan. 26 and 27. Varady, who coached in the WHL with the Everett Silvertips, is in his second season with the Roadrunners. They had the AHL's best record (23-6-0) through 29 games, with the coaches of division leaders after 29 games named to the Classic. . . . The festive season is almost over. How do I know this? Because the leftovers are almost gone and the fridge is looking terribly bare. . . . Have to wonder if F Kobe Mohr got a bigger suitcase for Christmas? He started the season with the WHL's Kamloops Blazers, lost out in the 20-year-old game and went to the AJHL's Drumheller Dragons, made a stop with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, was dealt to the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors, lost out, again, in the 20-year-old racket, and now is back with the Dragons. And the trade deadline isn't even here yet. . . . Pitchers and catchers report in 42 days. . . . Happy New Year, and here's to a healthy and safe 2020!

F Kris Schmidli (Kelowna, Prince Albert, 2013-15) signed a one-year contract with Dübendorf (Switzerland, MySports League). This season, he had two assists in 21 games with Winterthur (Switzerland, Swiss League). . . . A note on naming of leagues in Switzerland.

D Stefan Ulmer (Spokane, 2007-10) signed a two-year contract with Biel-Bienne (Switzerland, NL). This season, with Lugano (Switzerland, NL), he had three goals and three assists in 44 games.
That's the kind of play the game needs rid of, and that's before adding the fact that this particular episode came with 0:06 remaining in a 7-1 game. I can't help but wonder if the @WHL couldn't have set a better precedent, even at this time of year. @WHLGiants @SeattleTbirds

The Lethbridge Hurricanes are out $1,500 and will be short two players for their playoff game tonight. . . . There was a brouhaha at the end of Lethbridge's 4-1 victory over the visiting Calgary Hitmen on Saturday night and there is no doubt which team the WHL felt was responsible. . . . The Hurricanes were fined $500 for a one-man fight in the last five minutes of a game, another $500 because one of their players instigated a fight in the last five minutes of a game, and yet another $500 for its first multiple fight situation. . . . As well, F Scott Mahovlich and F Jackson Shepard each was suspended for one game. Mahovlich was involved in a one-man fight, while Shepard instigated a scrap in the last five minutes. . . . So they both will sit out tonight as the Hurricanes take their 2-0 lead in the series into Calgary for Game 3. . . .
Meanwhile, D Jake Lee of the Seattle Thunderbirds was given a two-game suspension for his cross-checking major and game misconducts late in the opener of their series with the Vancouver Giants. On Friday night, with the Giants about to close out a 7-1 victory in Langley, B.C., Lee was penalized for a hit on F Justin Sourdif. . . . Lee didn't play in Game 2 on Saturday and will sit out Game 3 tonight in Kent, Wash. Sourdif was injured on the play and didn't play in Game 2. He isn't expected to play in Games 3 and 4, either. . . .
F Brett Leason of the Prince Albert Raiders was given a one-game suspension after he took a checking-from-behind major and game misconduct in his club's 6-4 victory over the visiting Red Deer Rebels on Saturday night. . . . Red Deer F Cam Hausinger wasn't injured on the play. . . . Leason won't play in Game 3 tonight in Red Deer. . . . The Raiders hold a 2-0 lead in that series.
The guessing game about who's in and who's out will continue until game time tonight as the Victoria Royals prepare to meet the host Kamloops Blazers in a series that is 1-1. . . . Kamloops F Connor Zary, who sat out the first two games with an undisclosed injury, seems likely to return tonight. . . . The Royals, meanwhile, are really banged up, especially on the back end where Jake Kustra, Jameson Murray, Mitchell Prowse and Matt Smith all have missed time. As well, Ralph Jarratt is believed to have leg and shoulder injuries. . . . On top of that, the Royals won't have F Kaid Oliver, their leading scorer, at all as he has a season-ending shoulder injury. . . . As well, F D-Jay Jerome, their third-leading scorer, played only a handful of shifts in Saturday's 4-3 OT loss to the visiting Blazers. . . .
Kamloops will be without F Kobe Mohr tonight as he completes a two-game suspension for what the WHL called "action at Victoria on March 22."
As Marty Hastings of Kamloops This Week writes:
"Why can't the league be a little more specific?
"When I first read 'action at Victoria,' before I realized the suspension was for hacking an official, my first thought was Mohr might have uttered some sort of offensive slur.
"I'm not the only one who thought that."
As has been mentioned here on more than one previous occasion, the WHL and transparency oftentimes are strangers. This is one time when the league should have explained itself.
Hastings' complete piece is right here.

The Kamloops Blazers scored two goals in 28 seconds on the same third-period penalty kill en route to a 5-1 victory over the visiting Kelowna Rockets in the seventh tiebreaker game in WHL history on Tuesday night. . . . With the victory, the Blazers move into the playoffs. They will open against the Royals in Victoria on Friday. . . . Last night was only the second time in the seven tiebreakers that the home team has won. . . .
Kamloops had taken a 2-1 lead in the third period when Blazers F Ryley Appelt was penalized for tripping at 8:16. . . . F Connor Zary got an early jump off the Kamloops bench during a change, allowing him to get to the back of the Kelowna net in a hurry. He stripped the puck from G Roman Basran, came out the back side and stuffed it home for a 3-1 lead at 8:44. . . . A short time later, Kamloops F Brodi Stuart avoided an attempt by Basran to get a hip into him behind the net, skated out and scored for a 4-1 lead at 10:12. . . . The Rockets, whose offence pretty much dried up late in the season, weren't able to get back in this one. . . . F Jermaine Loewen got the Blazers' last goal, into an empty net. . . .
The Blazers dominated the first period, especially the first 12 or 13 minutes, and held a 17-7 edge in shots. Only Kelowna G Roman Basran, a post and a crossbar kept the Blazers off the scoreboard. . . . Kamloops D Jackson Caller drilled a post from the point at 9:00; F Connory Zary glanced a bad-angle flip off the crossbar two minutes later. . . . Kamloops G Dylan Garand had his moments later, especially stoning F Alex Swetlikoff from the doorstep. . . .
Kelowna pushed back in the second, but Kamloops got the game's first goal at 4:11, just six seconds after Rockets F Dallon Wilton was penalized for interference for a hit on D Jeff Faith. Zary pulled the face-off win back to F Kyrell Sopotyk on the point. He ripped a wrist shot past Basran's blocker, off a post and in. . . . The officials went to video review at 7:38 after the Blazers crashed the Kelowna net, but whatever had happened was ruled no goal. . . . The Rockets tied it at 7:56 when D Kaedan Korczak got to a shoot-in along the right boards, and slipped a pass to F Mark Liwiski. His quick backhand seemed to surprise Garand and got past him for the equalizer. . . . The Blazers thought they might have scored at 13:14 when the puck bounced off the back boards, over top of the net and into the Kelowna crease area. However, it was ruled that Kamloops F Logan Stankoven had come in contact with the puck with a high stick. . . . Kelowna got its first PP at 15:26 after Faith was hit with an interference penalty for a hit on F Nolan Foote. Other than Foote hitting a post early, the Rockets really didn't threaten. . . . Kelowna outshot Kamloops, 13-7, in that period. . . .
Hey @kobemohr … hows the GWG life treatin' ya?🚨

The Blazers broke the 1-1 tie at 6:10 of the third period when Kelowna D Dalton Gally went down early in an attempt to cut off a pass, only to have Blazers F Kobe Mohr toedrag around him and snap a shot past Basran from the high slot. . . . Then came Zary's shorthanded goal, followed by a Mohr penalty shot on which Basran was able to get his five-hole closed in time to prevent a goal. . . . It was left for Stuart to get his shorthanded goal and for Loewen to add the empty-netter. . . .
Garand, a 16-year-old freshman from Victoria, made his seventh straight start in the absence of the injured Dylan Ferguson. The Blazers are 6-0-1 over that stretch. . . . Garand finished with 27 saves in this one. . . . Ferguson skated with the Blazers on Monday, but wasn't dressed last night. The burning question in Kamloops until Friday night will be this: Does Garand get to start his first playoff game in his hometown if Ferguson is healthy? . . . G Danton Belluk, whose WHL rights belong to the Everett Silvertips, remains with the Blazers on an emergency basis. He backed up Garand last night. . . .
Basran, who kept the Rockets from getting blown out in the first period, self-destructed in the third when he gave up the two shorthanded goals. He was beaten four times on 34 shots in 50:12. James Porter came on to finish up after the Blazers' fourth goal. He stopped all five shots he faced. . . .
As expected, each team added a first-round 2018 bantam draft pick to its lineup. Stankoven, who won the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League scoring title with the Kamloops-based Thompson Blazers, was in the Kamloops lineup. F Trevor Wong, from the major midget Greater Vancouver Canadians, played for the Rockets. . . . Stankoven was the fifth-overall pick in that draft; Wong was taken with the 18th selection. . . .
Attendance was announced at 5,876, and there weren't many empty seats. It was the Blazers' second announced sellout of the season. On Feb. 18, the Blazers beat the visiting Tri-City Americans, 3-1, on Family Day. The announced crowed that day also was 5,876, but there were about 1,000 empty seats. . . .
I know, I know, it's early but…..
If the Kelowna Rockets were to miss out on the WHL playoffs this year , they would be the first CHL team to miss out on the post-season the year before hosting the Memorial Cup.
(Beauport and Hamilton were first year clubs when they hosted)

While the Blazers head for Victoria, the Rockets' season has ended. This means that the host team for the 2020 Memorial Cup won't appear in this spring's playoffs. . . . The Rockets fired head coach Jason Smith after a 4-10-0 start. They hired Adam Foote to replace him and went 24-22-8, plus last night's loss, with him in control. . . .
The WHL's draft lottery is scheduled to be held today (Wednesday). As one of six non-playoff teams, the Rockets will be participants. The six lottery teams, with regular-season points in parenthesis, are the Swift Current Broncos (28), Winnipeg Ice (36), Regina Pats (42), Prince George Cougars (46), Kelowna Rockets (64) and Brandon Wheat Kings (70). . . . A team is able to move up only two spots in the lottery, so one of those first three teams will own the first pick. However, the Cougars hold Swift Current's selection, and the Saskatoon Blades own Regina's pick. . . . When the draft is held on May 2 in Red Deer, the Blazers will hold the seventh selection.
There have been seven tiebreakers in WHL history . . .
2018-19: Kelowna 1 at Kamloops 5.
2015-16: Edmonton Oil Kings 6 at Medicine Hat Tigers 4.
2013-14: Prince Albert Raiders 5 at Red Deer Rebels 3.
2008-09: Edmonton Oil Kings 2 at Prince Albert Raiders 1 (OT).
1989-90: Brandon Wheat Kings 4 at Swift Current Broncos 5.
1983-84: Calgary Wranglers 8 at Saskatoon Blades 7 (OT).
1980-81: Spokane Flyers 10 at New Westminster Bruins 9 (OT).
Congratulations to the Blazers for advancing. Being 7 points down in last two weeks of season to tie was impressive. Thanks to you the listeners for being at the other end of the radio. Remember, we will be playing into May in 2020! pic.twitter.com/fBZhrrCHvr

You may recall that on Feb. 15 the OHL announced that the Niagara IceDogs had been fined $250,000 and also had two first-round draft picks taken away for recruiting violations. . . . Rick Westhead of TSN reported Tuesday that all of this had to do with a player emailing David Branch, the OHL commissioner, to say that the IceDogs had promised to pay him $10,000 for each season he played with them, and then reneged on the deal. . . . As Westhead reported: "A law firm hired by the Ontario Hockey League concluded that the Niagara IceDogs breached the league's player recruitment rules by entering into a secret 'side deal' with a former player, according to a court decision obtained by TSN." . . . Westhead's story is right here.
The Prince George Cougars have signed D Ethan Samson to a WHL contract. He was a third-round selection in the WHL's 2018 bantam draft. From North Delta, B.C., he played this season with the Delta Hockey Academy's Elite 15 team. In 33 games, he had seven goals and 17 assists.
Capitals winger Brett Connolly said he will not visit the White House on Monday.
"I respectfully decline."

The Brandon Wheat Kings have signed D Logen Hammett to a WHL contract. From Regina, Hammett will turn 16 on April 3. This season, with the midget AAA Regina Pat Canadians, he had four goals and 19 assists in 40 games. The Wheat Kings selected him in the fifth round of the WHL's 2018 bantam draft.
F Rieger Lorenz, a likely first-round selection in the WHL's 2019 bantam draft, announced via Twitter on Tuesday that he has committed to the U of Denver Pioneers. Lorenz, who will turn 15 on March 30, is from Calgary. He had 11 goals and 25 assists in 30 games with the Edge School's bantam prep team this season. . . . Lorenz is the fourth high-end bantam draft prospect to announce a commitment to the NCAA route in the last while, following F Matt Savoie (Denver), D Mats Lindgren (Michigan) and F Connor Levis (Michigan).
F Tanner Nagel, who finished up his WHL career with the Swift Current Broncos on Saturday, made his pro debut on Tuesday night with the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies. . . . Nagel was pointless in a 4-3 loss to the visiting Rapid City Rush. . . . With the Broncos, Nagel had 13 goals and 10 assists in 65 games.

Prepping for Tiebreaker Tuesday. . . . Blazers will play in front of huge crowd. . . . Winner moves on; loser goes home
So…. turns out our fans are pretty PUMPED for a TIEBREAKER!!
Tickets are 🔥 🔥 🔥!! pic.twitter.com/cB5WauXp4v
There will be more than 5,800 hockey fans in the Sandman Centre in Kamloops tonight (Tuesday) as the Blazers and Kelowna Rockets play in the WHL's first tiebreaker game in three years.
The winner will head for Victoria to open a first-round series with the Royals on Friday night. The loser is done for this season.
A tiebreaker is held only when teams are tied for a final playoff position.
The Rockets and Blazers finished tied for third place in the B.C. Division, each at 28-32-8. With each team having 28 victories, the league had to go to its second tiebreaker — the season series between the teams — to determine a home for tonight's game. The Blazers won the season series, going 6-3-1; the Rockets were 4-4-2.
These teams last met on March 8 and 9, with the Blazers winning 2-1 in a shootout at home in the first game, then posting a 2-1 victory in regulation time in the second game.
The Blazers have played 10 games in March, going 5-3-2, while outscoring the opposition, 36-31. In their past six games, they are 5-0-1, having scored 24 goals while surrendering 10.
The Rockets are 2-3-3 in March — but in four of those games they were able to score only one goal. They won't win tonight if they score only one goal.
Some notes before Tiebreaker Tuesday. . . .
The Rockets are expected to start G Roman Basran, who is 4-3-1, 1.61, .942 against the Blazers this season. It's awfully hard to knock numbers like those ones. . . .
G Dylan Ferguson, 20, hasn't dressed since appearing to suffer a groin injury during a 5-0 loss to the visiting Vancouver Giants on March 6. He did skate with the Blazers on Monday. However, G Dylan Garand, 16, has started six games in a row since Ferguson was injured. The Blazers are 5-0-1 in those Garand starts. Two of those were against Kelowna — Garand is 2-0-0, 0.96, .964. . . .
D Lassi Thomson, Kelowna's Finnish freshman who is terrific on the PP, suffered a concussion when he was checked by Kamloops F Jermaine Loewen in that March 8 game and hasn't played since. Thomson skated on Monday, but he was wearing a yellow non-contact sweater, which would seem to indicate that he won't play tonight. . . . His return, if it were to happen, would be huge. Thomson finished the season with 17 goals and 24 assists in 63 games. Against Kamloops, he had three goals and five assists in eight-plus games. . . .
Kelowna's Matt Barberis, a defenceman with 179 games of WHL experience, also was in a non-contact sweater yesterday. However, he has played only 20 games this season — nine with the Vancouver Giants and 11 with the Rockets — and hasn't been in a game since Feb. 9. . . .
The Blazers may have F Logan Stankoven in their lineup after he skated with them on Monday. He won the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League scoring championship, putting up 103 points, including 49 goals, in 38 games with the Kamloops-based Thompson Blazers. He was the fifth-overall selection in the 2018 bantam draft. . . . He had one assist from seven earlier appearances with the WHL's Blazers. . . .
The Rockets may get F Trevor Wong into their lineup. From Vancouver, he played for the major midget Greater Vancouver Canadians, putting up 42 points, 30 of them assists, in 34 games. He was the 18th-overall selection in the 2018 bantam draft. The consensus is that he would have been taken earlier had he not indicated that he would be going to the U of Denver. Wong, 15, skated with the Rockets on Monday. . . . Wong played four earlier games with the Rockets, scoring once. . . .
F Alex Swetlikoff of the Rockets took a puck to the face during a 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Giants in Langley, B.C., on Friday night. That resulted in more than two dozen stitches. On Saturday, he scored Kelowna's second goal and set up the OT winner as the Rockets beat the visiting Giants, 3-2. . . .
The Rockets will be host team for the 2020 Memorial Cup. They have missed the playoffs only once (2006-07) since moving to Kelowna from Tacoma in time for the 1995-96 season. . . . The Blazers, meanwhile, missed the playoffs last season and three of the past five seasons. . . .
F Kobe Mohr of the Blazers was on the Edmonton Oil Kings' roster on March 22, 2016, the date of the last WHL tiebreaker game, but he didn't get into the game. . . .
There have been six other tiebreakers in WHL history. The road team has won five of them. Here they are, courtesy of whl.ca . . .

D Alex Roach (Calgary, 2010-14) has been assigned on loan by Grizzlys Wolfsburg (Germany, DEL) to Eispiraten Crimmitschau (Germany, DEL2) for the duration of the DEL Olympics break. He had three assists in 25 games. . . . The DEL breaks after games on Feb 2 until Feb 28. The DEL2 doesn't have a break.
A LITTLE OF THIS . . .
On Dec. 3, with Edmonton playing against the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes, Oil Kings F Kobe Mohr was struck by a puck just below his left eye.
The 18-year-old from Lloydminster, Alta., now has three plates in his face. As he told Derek Van Diest of Postmedia, he ended up with a broken orbital bone, broken tear duct and broken nose.
"Right away, I soaked the ice up pretty good in blood and I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe and I knew my nose was broken for sure and something was wrong with my eye because I couldn't see," Mohr told Van Diest. "But I wasn't sure exactly what was wrong. The first thing was just the pain. I was squirming out there, I couldn't really control it and the trainer came out and got me off the ice as fast as I could and got me stitched up and took me straight to the hospital, so it was a pretty quick process, which was pretty good."
He was back in the lineup on Jan. 9, meaning he missed only 13 games.
Van Diest's story, complete with a post-injury selfie, is right here.
On Thursday, Geoffrey Brandow (@GeoffreyBrandow) tweeted a list of the top 10 WHL teams in terms of regular-season victories from September 2003 through last night. I have added to his list by including WHL championships won during that time in parentheses:
Kelowna 639 (3)
Medicine Hat 623 (2)
Calgary 602 (1)
Tri-City 575 (0)
Brandon 573 (1)
Spokane 548 (1)
Portland 547 (1)
Everett 543 (0)
Kootenay 533 (1)
Vancouver 529 (1)
NOTE: Edmonton (2) and Seattle (1) aren't in the top 10 in victories in that time period, but have won championships.
It seems that there will be Young Stars tournament in Penticton this year, but if you read between the lines it sounds like there may be changes in store.
Trevor Linden, the Vancouver Canucks' president of hockey operations, has told Kristi Patton of the Penticton Western News that his team is committed to playing in the preseason rookie tournament this year.
"While the format and number of participating teams may change," Linden said, "we've confirmed our continued participation this year. We'll have more details to share in the near future."
Andrew Jakubeit, Penticton's mayor and the event's chairman, told Patton: "Right now, I'm confident there will be an event this fall. Whatthe shape, size or scope of teams is, I can't confirm or deny yet."
In recent years, the Canucks team has faced teams from the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets. The tournament is held in the first half of September, although this year's dates have yet to be announced.
Attention WHL franchise owners . . .
Darren Rovell, a senior writer with ESPN, filed a piece Thursday explaining what happened when the the NFL's Atlanta Falcons cut concession prices.
"Steve Cannon, CEO of the AMB Group . . . told ESPN that although food and beverage prices were 50 percent lower in its new Mercedes-Benz Stadium than the prices in the Georgia Dome the previous year, fans spent 16 percent more," Rovell writes.

Pecos Bill est un cow-boy américain apocryphe immortalisé dans de nombreuses légendes et histoires du far-west américain durant la période de l'expansion vers l'Ouest du territoire américain.

Historique de la publication
Les premiers récits évoquant ce personnage ont été publiés en 1917 par Edward « Tex » O'Reilly pour The Century Magazine, et réimprimés en 1923 dans le livre Saga of Pecos Bill. O'Reilly a déclaré que ces récits faisaient partie d'une tradition orale des contes racontés par des cow-boys au cours de l'expansion vers l'Ouest vers le sud-ouest du Texas, le Nouveau-Mexique, le sud de la Californie et l'Arizona.

Le folkloriste américain Richard M. Dorson constate pourtant que O'Reilly a inventé ces histoires faisant d'elles des fakelore. De même, les autres écrivains qui reprirent ces histoires ne firent que reprendre les contes d'O'Reilly ou ajoutèrent des aventures de leur propre invention.

On doit un des meilleurs recueil connu sur Pecos Bill à James Cloyd Bowman : Pecos Bill: The Greatest Cowboy of All Time (1937), qui a remporté la médaille Newbery en 1938.

Entre 1929 et 1938, Edward O'Reilly sera coauteur d'une bande dessinée avec le dessinateur Jack A. Warren, également connu sous le nom Alonzo Vincent Warren. Lorsque O'Reilly meurt en 1938, Warren commence une bande intitulée Pecos Pete'''. Une bande dessinée du même nom est publiée en Italie à partir de 1949 et devient rapidement une des séries de western les plus durables de la péninsule.

« Pecos Bill » était aussi le surnom, pendant la guerre de Sécession, du général William Rufus Shafter, bien qu'il soit d'une époque antérieure à la légende créée par O'Reilly.

 Biographe du personnage

Selon la légende, Pecos Bill est né au Texas dans les années 1830. Benjamin d'une famille de 18 enfants, se déplaçait avec sa famille dans un wagon couvert quand il tomba à leur insu près de la rivière Pecos (qui lui donnera son surnom). Il est alors recueilli et élevé par une meute de coyotes. Des années plus tard, il est retrouvé par son vrai frère, qui réussit à le convaincre qu'il n'est pas un coyote.

Plusieurs légendes et récits racontent les exploits réalisé par ce héros de l'Ouest. On dit par exemple qu'il utilise un serpent à sonnettes nommé « Shake » comme lasso et un autre serpent comme petit fouet. Son cheval, Widow-Maker (aussi appelé Lightning), est nommé ainsi parce qu'aucun autre homme ne pouvait le monter et survivre. En France, ce cheval est un mustang appelé Cyclone. Il est également dit dans la légende que Pecos montait parfois un puma au lieu d'un cheval.

Tout comme Paul Bunyan et John Henry, Pecos Bill est décrit comme un géant.

Il est dit que Pecos Bill est mort de rire. Dans l'histoire de The Death of Pecos Bill, Pecos Bill est dans un bar quand un soi-disant garçon de la ville arrive avec des chaussures et un costume en peau d'alligator. Pecos Bill trouve cela amusant et se met à rire jusqu'à la mort. Une autre version de la légende prétend qu'il serait mort après avoir avalé du fil barbelé avec de la nitroglycérine.

 Adaptation dans d'autres médias
 En 1948, Pecos Bill apparait au cinéma dans le film d'animation Mélodie Cocktail de Disney.
 En 1983, Pecos Bill est l'un des deux personnages d'une courte pièce, sous forme de théâtre chantant, écrite par Sam Shepard nommé The Sad Lament of Pecos Bill on the Eve of Killing his Wife.
 En 1995, le personnage est interprété par Patrick Swayze dans le film Les Légendes de l'Ouest.
 En , pour le cinquantenaire du personnage de bande dessinée Captain America, une aventure intitulée « Au rang des légendes » écrite par Mark Gruenwald et dessinée par Ron Lim, montre Captain America atterrir dans un monde parallèle où il croise toutes les légendes des États-Unis, dont Pecos Bill.

Yeah, our farmers here suffered terribly b/c of the totally incorrect tomato scare.
And we continue to trade w/ this "valued" partner who allows its farmers to defecate on their plants as a way of fertilizing them. Dear God Almighty.
Yes we are living in very backwards times. So much for our government putting Americans first.
The worse part of the obvious incompetency courtesy of the FDA is that they knew Mexico's jalapeno peppers were a source of contamination 2 weeks prior to their announcement of the serrano peppers' induced outbreak.
Once again a prime example of the lives of Americans being devalued by a government entity in the name of protecting it's illegitimate co-dependant, clingy, worthless step child.
"Laboratory testing has confirmed that both a sample of serrano pepper and a sample of irrigation water collected by agency investigators on a farm in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, contain Salmonella saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint as the strain of bacteria that is causing the current outbreak in the United States," the agency said in a news release.
A contaminated jalapeno pepper had been identified two weeks ago at another Mexican farm in a different part of the country, which turned the months-long search for a source of the nationwide outbreak away from fresh tomatoes.
Remember the Alamo! That used to mean something. Does anyone remember the Alamo these days?
What the heck are we doing letting Mexico get so involved in American business?

When 'The Simpsons' and 'Star Wars' Are Made into a Broadway Musical
The New York Times article The new show, "The Simpsons," is coming.
It's a show about a group of Simpsons who are actually from the future.
They're a bit like the kids in the movie "Fargo," in that they don't know anything about the future but they are very good at predicting it.
The Simpsons, of course, are also very good in predicting the future of their friends.
But, the show also shows how quickly the future can be changed.
And it's about time.
The cast includes Matt Groening, the creator of the hit cartoon, who is a genius for creating a new generation of young fans of his show.
The show also includes a new character, Lisa, a teenager who becomes a matriarch to the Simpson family.
The idea is that she has a special gift that she can't quite explain but is a bit of a puzzle piece.
In this world where we're seeing this in movies, TV shows and games, she has the power to change the world.
And her greatest gift is that, as the show progresses, her life evolves.
The original cast of the show included Bill Murray, Jerry Seinfeld, Kenan Thompson and Dan Castellaneta.
And that's what the show is about: the future is changing.
In the show, the Simpson brothers, Homer and Bart, are sent back in time to their childhood, where they have been sent by the government to stop the destruction of the future, a war against the robot army, that is headed by The Boss.
They've got to stop this invasion by the robot and save their friend, Lisa.
The plot of the movie is similar.
The main character, the villain, is a robot that is able to speak in a language that only robots can understand.
The robot has captured a few people, including Lisa and her friends, and is now trying to kill them.
He's a very bad guy.
He can change his appearance, he can even go through puberty.
He wants to destroy everything, the world and humanity.
And he is, by all accounts, a very smart guy.
But the world is not what it used to be.
And Lisa has a gift, and she has to find it.
In some of the episodes, she comes up with a plan to stop him.
She starts to build a bridge across the future world.
Her plan is very clever, she thinks, and we'll just have to trust her.
But she does it wrong.
In "The Power of One," she is the one who creates the bridge and she makes a very terrible mistake, as a result of her own mistakes.
The episode is about the Simpson girls as they navigate a world that has been changed by the events of the war against The Boss, and they have to figure out how to make sure that everyone will be safe and happy.
It also includes some new characters.
They include the robotic super hero The Rock, played by John C. Reilly.
They also include the former head of the U.S. Army, General Ziegler, played, I'm sorry, by Kevin Costner.
He was a real badass.
It was a really smart, original, funny, moving show, that I had not seen before.
I loved the way the characters reacted to the challenges that the future presents.
But what I found most interesting is how they have no idea that the world has changed.
There is no indication that the entire world is different than the way it was in the past.
I think it's really nice that they're trying to figure it out, because it's very much an unknown.
It can be very scary.
And, in fact, the only people that are aware of this world are a few scientists and scientists who work for the government.
They are trying to find out what is happening and they're looking for the answers to those questions.
I really loved the writers, who have made a very interesting show.
It had so much heart.
It has the same sort of feeling that you get when you watch a movie or a TV show.
In fact, when the show was first announced, the writers were actually in the middle of developing a script.
So, they were already in the process of writing the episode.
But they had to scramble, because the show had a lot of problems.
They had a very tight schedule.
They were also worried about the quality of the story, which was a big challenge.
I don't think I've ever seen a show like this that has so many problems and so many fans.
The writers had to keep working.
They tried to do a few things at once.
They started a new series, "Frozen," and that was so successful that they were able to bring it back.
They even put together a TV movie.
And I really liked the way they did it.
They brought together the original cast

That statement from a recent patient was a summary to me of what is bad in our health care "system." It's a terrible summary of what is seen all over this country with people who must make the choice between financial solvency and health.
Here's what happened: It was a new patient I saw, who is a veteran who owns two businesses. He went out on his own when he "kept getting laid off." He has largely been successful in what he's doing, but as is the case with many these days, he couldn't afford health insurance. This was especially bad because he had a heart attack last year, which required stenting and a significant hospital stay. He didn't fill me in on the financial details, but there's no doubt that this hurt him significantly.
Unfortunately, he has another problem: glaucoma. His glaucoma is bad enough to need surgery done to avoid losing vision in one eye. Sadly, he can't afford that surgery. We talked about the difficult choices he had to make with his health and his money. "It seems to me that the eye problem is the most urgent problem you have. You don't want to lose your vision," I told him.
My stomach lurched to hear this statement. A guy who has done nothing wrong aside from choosing self-employment (and perhaps inheriting less-than-stellar genes) is left with the choice: financial devastation or blindness in one eye. He works hard, has served the country, didn't complain to me at all, yet here he is about to be swallowed by the ever widening maw of impossible medical expense.
How can we help people in this situation? How can we care for those who need care without increasing already out of control spending? There are many who give simplistic answers to that question, but most of them ignore the cause of our problems: the out-of-control cost of care.
In my practice, which is (by the way) a direct primary care practice, where I don't accept payment from insurance companies but rather am paid by my patients in the form of a low ($35-$70) monthly payment. Because I am paid directly by my patients I am motivated to save them money whenever possible, as it justifies paying me the monthly fee. Also, me being much less busy (I see between 5 and 12 patients on a normal day), I can work to find ways to avoid unnecessary care. This is especially important because many of my patients don't have insurance, and those who do have high-deductible plans.
This patient experienced this aspect of my care on this same visit. He was also interested in being screened for colon cancer. Some friends had urged him to do so. "But when I called to find out what a colonoscopy costs, they said it would be more than $6,000! I can't afford that!" I sent a quick message to my nurse and she relayed that there is a gastroenterologist in town who can do a colonoscopy for $1,600 (extra for biopsies, of course).
He was impressed by this, as are many of my patients when we do lab tests for more than 80% discount, dispense medications that are more than 70% cheaper than the average discounted price from GoodRx, and when we know where to get $100 ultrasounds, $250 CT scans, and $450 MRI scans. These prices are out there for any doctor to use, but my business model makes it to my advantage to give patients the best value possible. So there are ways to cut the cost of care for many people. Unfortunately, not many doctors use these resources, much less know about them.
A deeper question in this man's case is the fact that his heart disease was treated at a local hospital which specializes in heart disease. While much of the public may see this as a positive thing, those who know health care realize that these hospitals are very quick to do procedures that are not always necessary. In his case, he had a stent placed on a 65% lesion, which doesn't have great evidence supporting its placement. Much of interventional cardiology treads the ground lightly in the area of solid epidemiological evidence of benefit for some very expensive procedures. It seems to be based largely on the visceral response all of us (me included) would have: "It could only help to stent the 65% lesion, wouldn't it? What will it hurt?" It turns out that the evidence for much of this is light.
In this case, the stenting of a 65% lesion could result in blindness, as the money he would have spent on eye surgery was instead paid to the interventional cardiologist and the "heart specialty" hospital.
Much of what I just said is controversial (and I expect significant objection from the interventional cardiologists), but the details are not as important as the overall point. The hospitals and procedural specialists benefit hugely from a very permissive payment system that doesn't demand great evidence of benefit for payment to occur.
Our system is based on sickness, not health, so expensive procedures are favored over preventing those procedures from happening in the first place. Until we address the elephant in the room, the "what will it hurt" mentality that justifies costly procedures for dubious benefit, we can't expect to make any progress in fixing our system regardless of who pays for that care.

Loved the hotel and semiprivate beach.
Unfortunately, the beach below high tide waterline is a little rocky. Apparently, a storm a few years ago took a lot of the sand for which the "Sugar Beach" was named. However, it's a lovely, secluded, relaxing place. We loved it.
Enjoyed this accommodation very much and loved the beach.
Everything about his was great. We liked the privacy and small size of the property. The rooms were great. The staff was exceptional--I can't remember everyone's names, but Sven, the operations manager went out of his way to help us. The dining staff was wonderful--Alfonso, Victor, Eric, Ale and everyone!

Mom claims 11-year-old son attempted suicide after bullying by teachers
Parents are urging Chicago's new mayor to investigate extreme cases of bullying in schools. Attorney Michael Oppenheimer is representing four families that are suing Chicago Public Schools. He says an 11-year-old boy tried to kill himself in February after being bullied by students and teachers and now has severe brain damage and is unable to breathe on his own. The boy's mother says her complaints were ignored. "They were causing the bullying. It started with the teachers what went on with my son. There is no reason my son should be lying in a hospital bed because I asked for ...

Market turmoil could lead to rocky returns for the asset manager's investors.
Investment firm BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) oversees more than $4 trillion in equity, fixed-income, and cash assets for clients around the world. Its position as the world's largest asset management company has been a boon for shareholders, as BlackRock's stock price has closely tracked the market's steady rise -- as measured by the S&P 500 -- over the past half-decade.
Yet this also highlights one of the major risks inherent in BlackRock business: its dependency on rising asset prices to fuel growth. And with the market off to one of its worst starts in history so far in 2016, BlackRock's stock price has mirrored the S&P 500's descent.
With signs pointing to continued market volatility in the months ahead, BlackRock's shareholders may be in store for a rough ride in 2016. Here's why.
Because they generate fees from their assets under management, investment companies such as BlackRock are innately leveraged to the performance of global financial markets. Higher asset prices have served as a rising tide that's helped to lift many asset management boats for much of the past the past six years. However, when that tide reverses -- and it has so far in 2016 -- asset managers can get hit by a violent storm of lower asset values and sizable net outflows as investors flee the market.
BlackRock is better positioned than just about all of its rivals to withstand these difficult market environments. The firm is well diversified across asset classes (equity, fixed-income, etc.), investing styles (active and passive/index), and geographic regions. So a downturn in one area of BlackRock's business could be offset by an upswing in another.
And BlackRock's large base of institutional customers is less likely to panic than individual investors during severe market declines. Still, these professional investors may rotate toward BlackRock's lower fee fixed-income and cash products during a market meltdown, which would pressure the company's margins.
In addition to the overall returns of global markets, BlackRock's investment performance relative to its rivals is another key determinant of AUM growth.
Impressively, 91% of BlackRock's active taxable fixed-income assets and 90% of its "scientific" (read: quantitative) active equity assets were above their benchmarks or peer averages for the last three years, as of the end of the fourth quarter. And although BlackRock's fundamentals-based equity business has fared less well, performance has improved over the last year, with 76% of the company's fundamental active equity assets outperforming their benchmarks during that time.
While these returns clearly demonstrate BlackRock's investment prowess, market outperformance -- or "alpha" -- can disappear quickly. Even the best investment managers can go through a rough stretch, and the "What have you done for me lately?" attitude among many investors can make them quickly disregard even decade-long streaks of prior outperformance.
Such was the fate of investment firm Legg Mason (NYSE:LM), which lost billions in assets under management after star mutual fund manager Bill Miller followed his incredible 15-year streak of beating the S&P 500 with a disastrous year in 2008. Miller's losses during that single year completely eliminated his prior outperformance, and the fund lost more than 70% of its assets that year alone. In the years that followed, Legg Mason continued to bleed assets, and its stock price cratered even as the S&P 500 rose steeply from its depths during the Great Recession. To this day, Legg Mason's stock has yet to recover its losses.
BlackRock, with its 135-plus investment teams, is much more broadly diversified than Legg Mason was at the time of Miller's collapse. As such, the poor performance of one investment manager or team is unlikely to tank BlackRock's business. Still, if BlackRock's investment performance was to decline significantly on an overall basis relative to its competition, it could result in a sizable and rapid loss of AUM -- along with a corresponding hit to revenue and profits.
Assets under management are one part of an investment manager's profit equation. Another is the amount of fees it can charge on those assets. It's in this area that venerable investment company Vanguard is a particularly bothersome threat.
Vanguard founder Jack Bogle has for years crusaded against the evils of high investment fees. And to this day, low fees are part of the bedrock upon which Vanguard's sturdy foundation is built.
Vanguard's seemingly unending drive to lower investment costs continues to serve it well, with the company enjoying record inflows of $236 billion in 2015. At the same time, Vanguard's low-cost strategy helps to weaken its competitors by eating away at their profit margins. To slow Vanguard's advance, BlackRock will likely to have to match its fee reductions with price cuts of its own in the years ahead.

Lisa Marie Presley Dead After Being Rushed to Hospital, Suffered Cardiac Arrest
by Jacob Uitti January 12, 2023, 9:22 pm
Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of the singer Elvis Presley and his former wife Priscilla, has died. She was 54 years old.
Priscilla, 77, confirmed the news late Thursday (January 12). "It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," she said in a statement. "She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment."
Priscilla earlier in the day asked for prayers for her daughter on Instagram, saying, "My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers. We feel the prayers from around the world and ask for privacy during this time. -Priscilla Presley"
She was rushed to the hospital earlier today after suffering "full" cardiac arrest.
Presley was at her home in Calabasas, California when the EMTs were rushed to her home to administer CPR. TMZ reported that Lisa Marie's housekeeper found her "unresponsive" in her bedroom.
Lisa Marie's ex-husband Danny Keough soon arrived home after taking their kids to school and he performed CPR until paramedics arrived. The two have reportedly been living together for some time.
Reports said it was unclear what her condition was earlier in the day. But she was in doctors' care. Now, sadly, she has passed away.
Lisa Marie was at the Golden Globes on Tuesday night (Jan. 10) in Beverly Hills. She and her mother were there to see Austin Butler win an award for his portrayal of Elvis in the biopic named after The King.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968, Lisa Marie, who was married four times in her life, including briefly to Michael Jackson and actor Nicholas Cage, is survived by three children, actress Riley Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood. Her son Benjamin died in July 2020.
When Elvis died in 1977, Lisa Marie ran Elvis' estate until 2005 when she sold off the business. She is still the owner of Graceland, though, The King's famous Memphis estate.
In 1995, she appeared in Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone." In 1997, Lisa Marie released the song, "Don't Cry Daddy," as a duet with her father's vocals, marking the 20th anniversary of his passing.
In 2003, she released her debut album, To Whom it May Concern, which hit No. 5 on the Billboard chart and was certified Gold. She released her second album in 2005, Now What, and it hit No. 9 on Billboard. Her third album, Storm & Grace, dropped in 2012.
She also collaborated on music with artists like Pat Benatar and Richard Hawley. Lisa Marie was reportedly a Scientologist for 20 years but left that organization in 2014.

Description Alianza Republicana Nacionalista
Nationalistic Republican Alliance (ARENA):
ARENA was born the 30 of September of 1981 as an expression of the fight by the freedom in El Salvador, country that was immersed in a violence vortex, due to the Cold War and to the internal problems of the country.
The party ARENA has shaped in its principles and objectives a doctrine accumulation that has made available of the Salvadoran town to offer a viable and safe route him to be able to reach by means of concrete actions the overcoming of the individual in all its magnitude and, therefore, of the society of which it comprises.
The fundamental ideological concepts that they sustain to ARENA are doctrinarios elements that it bequeathed to the posterity and for a better future of the mother country, our founder Greater D�Abuisson Robert and a group of visionary men who accompanied it in the formation by this political institute.
When a town lives in freedom and only enjoys all the benefits of mutual solidarity enjoys the harmony and social La Paz, since it reaches his common well-being and the goals indicated by his own and particular initiative.
In its principles and objectives, ARENA recognizes the individual as the fundamental base of the town. The man is the creation to image and similarity of God. The meeting of individuals develops in all its fullness looking for its development, as much material as spiritual, that it allows to determine the proportions itself them like beings able to contribute shared in common and to take to the nation by the footpaths of La Paz and the tranquillity.
Within this context, the parliamentary ARENA representation has played an important role in the profit and the consolidation of peace in El Salvador, as well as in the process of modernization of the State, consolidation of the democracy and State of Right, the generation of equality of opportunities for all the Salvadorans and the progress in general.
Democratic, Republican and Representative system, that guarantees the freedom of action and attainment of pacific aims of the individual.
It is recognized the individual as the fundamental base of the town, and the family like the nucleus of the society.
The state is not an aim in itself, but average for the engrandecimiento and the overcoming of the individual.
The fundamental bastion that must govern the conduct of the Salvadoran nationalists is formed by three elements: God, Mother country and Freedom.
The well-being, the profit of a goal, the honor, the constant search of the truth, is products of the human spirit.
The state must guarantee the work, the well-being of the mother country and the economic system, this one oriented towards the increase of the productivity through the free company.
The individual right of acquisition, retention and use of the property like a projection of the human person is recognized like principle of our economic life.
The greater wealth of our mother country is the human capacity of its inhabitants.
Equality of the men before God.
The political parties do not have to be inmiscuir in religious questions.
It is recognized the Armed Forces like only arm armed of the town.
To cause the unit of Central America
Rejection to doctrines that announce the fight of classes.
To defend our western traditions through the nationalism, the democracy and the freedom.
To fight by the formation of a solid republican and nationalistic conscience that is the pedestal of the national unit so that this one allows to obtain the integral development that the country needs.
To support to the Armed Forces in the fulfillment of its constitutional duties, as they are the defense of territorial integrity and the sovereignty of the Republic.
This new society will define its structure within the constitutional frame so that it grows from her bases, developing a realistic and perseverante policy, oriented to elevate the level of the Salvadorans in all its aspects.

Seven Injured In Explosion After Mark Latham Discovers Safe Schools
By Nathan Lentern on 31/03/2016 • ( 0 )
Seven victims are recovering from mild injuries following a mysterious explosion in Western Sydney earlier today. They were discovered unconscious in a café in in Liverpool by local resident Chris Murray who rushed to the scene to investigate a loud crashing sound. The explosion is now believed to have been caused by a journalist asking former opposition leader Mark Latham about the federal government's Safe Schools' program.
It is understood that the interviewer assumed that Mr Latham, being an outspoken expert on issues concerning bullying and harassment, would have been well versed on the ins and outs of the Safe Schools' program. This proved to be a fatal error on their part when they failed to accommodate for the fact that the one time columnist for the Australian Financial Review was also profoundly ignorant and uninformed.
Victim Kerry Shepherd told The (un) Australian that after the journalist explained the Safe School's program to Mr Latham, the impact was immediate. "It was like nothing I'd ever seen, suddenly the sky just filled with black, menacing storm clouds, the temperature dropped about ten degrees and the wind started howling and whistling. Latham just sort of screwed up his face, stared at the ground then suddenly there was this huge bang and a flash of blinding white light and next thing I knew I was waking up in hospital.'"
NSW Police are still determining whether to charge the journalist with recklessly endangering the lives of others but have stated unequivocally that anyone who shows Latham the new Olympic uniforms will be arrested.

Procurement process for electric charging points funding to start in summer
The government has confirmed it will launch a procurement process in the summer to raise funding for electric charging points.
In a written statement to Parliament, Robert Jenrick, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, answered a question about how £200 million of private investment will be raised, after Andy McDonald, shadow Transport Secretary, asked how much has already been raised.
The importance of electric charging points across the UK is growing because of the need to reduce air pollution in towns and cities.
Cities including Manchester and London have both recently committed to improving this provision; the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has launched 100 rapid charge points for electric vehicles, as part of the drive to encourage use of zero emission vehicles, while in Manchester, Andy Burnham's carbon neutral proposals will see the number of electric charge points doubled.
Vehicles that benefit from electric charging are becoming more prevalent in waste management fleets, so the decisions of government to raise funding for these means are crucial.
As part of the 2017 Budget, the government announced a £400 million Charging Investment Infrastructure Fund, which is set to upgrade electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as funding research for the technology.
The measures set out a commitment to make a quarter of government department fleets electric by 2022, and as part of this, £200 million will be raised through private investment.
In the written response by Mr Jenrick, he said that the task of raising this extra investment will start in summer.
The statement read: "Following the announcement of this fund at Autumn Budget, the government is engaging with the private sector to ensure that it is set up in the most effective way.
"We expect to launch the procurement for the private sector fund manager in summer 2018, who will be tasked with raising the £200 million of private investment.
"Further details will be announced in due course."
