Devils top Islanders 2-1 in OT as Jack Hughes departs early
Yegor Sharangovich scores the GWG in OT to give the New Jersey Devils the 2-1 win over the New York Islanders, their third straight this preseason, but is there cause for concern as Jack Hughes exits early with an apparent injury?

Dennis Schneidler-USA TODAY Sports
After a dominant 7-1 win over Our Hated Rivals Friday night, the Devils had a quick turnaround for their third preseason game of the 2021-22 season. In actuality, however, a fresh Devils lineup composed entirely of players who sat out last night's game were called upon for the Saturday matinee in Bridgeport against the New York Islanders.
The Islanders top line of Kiefer Bellows, Mat Barzal, and Kyle Palmieri made their presence known early. Palmieri fed a beautiful touchpass to Barzal, catching the Devils in transition and leaving Jonas Siegenthaler alone in an odd man rush. Barzal dished the puck to Bellows for the one-timer and the Islanders took the early 1-0 lead at 3:23 in the first period.

Aside from a handful of chances, the Islanders dominated the first period, with a 16-5 edge in shots on goal. That's not to say the Devils didn't have their chances. Marian Studenic had a couple opportunities throughout the period to put one in the net. Yegor Sharangovich had a pointblank opportunity late in the first period that was turned away by Ilya Sorokin. But make no mistake about it, this period was all Islanders.
Scott Wedgewood relieved Blackwood after the first period, and the Devils failed to capitalize on a couple power play opportunities early in the second period. Christian Jaros went to the box for hooking at the 14:05 mark, and the Devils makeshift penalty killing unit of Sharangovich-Studenic-Siegenthaler-Okhotiuk did a nice job preventing the Islanders from generating much of anything with the man advantage. On the ensuing shift, Jack Hughes did a great job keeping the puck away from Ross Johnston behind Sorokin's net and generally being a pest. Hughes drew a Johnston cross-check for his efforts, leading to a penalty that the Devils failed to score on, but that is secondary to a potential injury to the man who has been referred to as "The Big Deal". Hughes would go on to take another shift on the ensuing power play, but departed shortly after and did not return.
If the Devils had to list their top goal for today, it might have been to not see Jack Hughes crumpled on the ice in pain. He got up, went to the bench and seems to be OK. Skated a bit during the time out. Looks like he's coming back out for the PP as well.

Without too much speculation ... it appears to be a ribs/hip/side issue for Hughes. https://t.co/GmVrpZ380V
As for the rest of the second period, former Devils captain Zach Parise poked the puck away from Reilly Walsh on the point to create a shorthanded opportunity, but Wedgewood made the stop. The run of play opened up a bit after the Johnston penalty expired. The Devils had a 2-on-1 odd man rush where Andreas Johnsson's cross-ice pass was intercepted. Moments later, Oliver Wahlstrom was able to spring a rush the other way. Bellows shot the puck in a similar spot to the one he scored from earlier in the game, and Wedgewood made the save. Nate Schnarr went to the box for a tripping call, and the Devils penalty kill held strong again despite Jaros losing his stick at one point. Aarne Talvitie ripped a shot off the crossbar in the closing seconds of the period, and the Devils would head to the dressing room down 1-0 after a much more competitive second period.
Hughes stayed behind in the locker room as the third period began. The Devils makeshift top line of Andreas Johnsson-Yegor Sharangovich-Marian Studenic would create a few opportunities, but the Islanders would control the pace of play for the early portion of the third period. The Devils got a 5-on-3 power play opportunity for 1:27 midway through the third as Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Casey Cizikas went to the box. Following a timeout, Scott Mayfield and Thomas Hickey did a good job killing off the Devils 2-man advantage and improving to 5-5 on the penalty kill on the day.
The Devils would finally break through with 4:15 to go in regulation, as Mark Jankowski made his case to turn his PTO into a contract by scoring against our old friend Cory Schneider.

The Devils and Islanders skated 4-on-4 late in the third as Kyle Palmieri took exception to a big reverse hit by Siegenthaler on Bellows behind the Devils net. Palmieri and Siegenthaler exchanged pleasantries and each drew a roughing penalty for their actions, and the remainder of regulation ran its course, with both teams heading to 3-on-3 overtime.
The Islanders would continue to control the pace of play as they did for much of regulation until Yegor Sharangovich got control of the puck in the defensive zone, skated the length of the ice, and won the game for the Devils with his elite wristshot.

Despite the lineups being what they were, despite being outshot by a 2:1 margin and despite Hughes and Blackwood's early departures, the Devils won their third straight preseason game.

Jack Hughes update & other Devils injury notes
After the game, head coach Lindy Ruff was asked by the media for an update on Jack Hughes and if he might miss any time.
#NJDevils Lindy Ruff quote when asked if he thinks Jack Hughes might miss any time:
"Not right now, you know I think that's encouraging for everyone that I feel that way. I'm hoping it's nothing, nothing serious, more precautionary, so I'm hopeful."
Will be evaluated tomorrow.
— Amanda Stein (@amandacstein) October 2, 2021
It goes without saying that the Devils can ill-afford for Jack Hughes to miss any significant time. The fact that Ruff seems to think that Hughes avoided a major injury or won't miss significant time is encouraging, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest to find out any additional information. Ruff's postgame comments can be seen below.
"Looking at compete, we got better as the game went on. The third period we found a way to get one and got another one to win."
Lindy Ruff speaks after the OT win over the Islanders. #NJDevils | @InvestorsBank pic.twitter.com/wJuoNpzsOe
In other Devils-related news, Ruff revealed that Ty Smith is dealing with an undisclosed injury. A team spokesman stressed that Smith's absence is precautionary, but Ruff mentioned that he doesn't expect him to skate for "a number of days". Additionally, Jesper Bratt is dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Bratt was supposed to play Friday against the Rangers, but obviously, that was not the case. Bratt appears to be on the mend as Ruff noted that he skated today, so perhaps we see him make his preseason debut next week.
Devils goaltending was outstanding
MacKenzie Blackwood saw his first action of the preseason and was tested early and often. Blackwood stopped all but one of the 16 shots on goal he faced in his first and only period. Considering how the Islanders dominated the run of play in the first period and the fact that Blackwood is still working his way back from offseason heel surgery, that was more than enough work for a preseason debut. Perhaps more importantly, he came out of the game healthy and moved around well in the crease. The Devils made the smart decision to give him the rest of the night off and let Scott Wedgewood finish the game. Wedgewood made the most of his opportunity, turning away all 22 shots he saw. He made some timely saves in the third period and overtime when the Islanders were buzzing again.
You can check out Mackenzie Blackwood's postgame comments below.
"It was nice to get out there and get some game-action."

Sharangovich continues to shine
Yegor Sharangovich scored in the preseason opener against Washington earlier this week off of a nifty backhand. He scored today with his wrister. He played on the penalty kill (and in a nice change of pace, the penalty kill pitched a shutout today). He continues to generate scoring chances with Jack Hughes, and perhaps more impressively, he generated scoring chances without him. Unfortunately, Natural Stat Trick doesn't have the fancy stats available from today's game, but between the 5 shots on goal you can see in the box score and from watching the game, you see a player who continues to get better and better. You see a player who's confidence is growing the more experience he gets. With an elite wrister and a two-way game that is coming along nicely, I believe we're seeing the beginnings of Yegor Sharangovich, top line winger. And I don't mean "top line winger" for the Devils, I mean a guy who can play on the top line for most NHL teams. 30+ goal potential. All-Star potential. If the Devils have THAT in Sharangovich, it'll go a long way as they continue to build something here in New Jersey.
Who else stood out?
Along with the goaltenders and Sharangovich, Ruff made a point to credit the play of Marian Studenic, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Nikita Okhotiuk. I would agree with his assessment. Studenic created some scoring chances when he was out there, and was rewarded with a promotion to the top line once Hughes was ruled out. He showed some chemistry with Sharangovich there, as well as when they were on the penalty kill together. It was the type of performance Studenic needed to have if he wants to remain in consideration for one of the Devils final roster spots. I don't know that he did enough to earn a spot, but he did not hurt his cause either.
Siegenthaler was the de facto #1 defenseman for the Devils today with the roster they iced, and they leaned heavily on him as a result. I know he was on the ice for the Bellows goal as the one in the 2-on-1 situation, but I don't think that's a goal you can pin on him. He played well in all situations and you hope the Devils found something there with the trade to bring him aboard.
The other player I want to mention positively is Aarne Talvitie, who picked up the primary assist on Jankowski's goal. He ripped a puck earlier in the game that went off of the crossbar as well. I think he is a guy who clearly still has some developing left to do, but he was noticeable in a positive way.
I'm a little disappointed in Andreas Johnsson, who didn't really pop from what I saw in this game. He was also 'rewarded' with a promotion to the top line after the Hughes injury, but I didn't really see a whole lot from him aside from the one scoring chance he had on the power play. I can appreciate him trying to be unselfish by passing the puck on his 2-on-1 opportunity, but I thought the correct play was for him to shoot and he declined to do so. I still question where he ultimately fits on this Devils roster and I came away from today's game no closer to having any idea where he fits.
The rest of the lineup is what it is. There were some prospects like Reilly Walsh who continue to look overwhelmed with defensive responsibilities, and there were guys who continue to look like career AHL'ers. There's a reason why the Devils were outshot 2:1 and its because the rest of the lineup wasn't very good.
Cuts are coming
Ruff said postgame that the team will continue to make cuts tomorrow. The Devils made a few cuts earlier today as they assigned Ryan Schmelzer, Jeremy Groleau, Michael Vukojevic, and Mareks Mitens to the AHL. Utica opens their training camp on Monday, so I would expect to see many of the players who played in today's game reassigned before their next game Monday at Prudential Center.
What did you think of today's game? Are you concerned about Jack Hughes leaving early or, like Lindy Ruff, are you taking a wait-and-see approach? Is Yegor Sharangovich a star in the making? Did you come away impressed with the performance of the goaltenders? What other players stood out, positively or negatively, for you? Please feel free to leave a comment below and thank you for reading!
What Exactly is the Goal for the Rest of This Season? The Devils are just about fully cooked in the playoff race. What should they be looking to pull from the wreckage in the second half of the season?
Moving Forward, It's Clear: It's Not the Offense For the most part of this "rebuild," the offense has been the main area that has been in need of an upgrade. Scoring has been a huge issue. This year, as we hit mid-season, preventing goals against is now the biggest issue.
New Jersey Devils Prospect Update: 1/11/22 This week's update features Chase Stillman being traded in the OHL, Arseni Gritsyuk continuing to impress in the KHL, and Fabian Zetterlund and Nate Schnarr continuing to play well for the Utica Comets in the AHL.

Q: Problem with extension of a continous function
Let $X$ a first-countable Topological Space, let $Y$ an Hausdorff Topological Space, let $A\subset X$ a subset ot $X$ and let $f:A\rightarrow Y$ a continous function.
Prove that, if there is an extension
$$\overline{f} :\overline{A}\rightarrow Y$$
$\overline{f}$ is solely determined from $f$.

I thought that:
If there is $g$ that is another extension of $f$, and I call $Z=\lbrace x\in \overline{A}\mid \overline{f} (x)=g(x)\rbrace$. Then, $Y$ is an Hausdorff Space so, $Z$ is closed in $X$ and,  $A$ is dense in $\overline{A}$ so $A\subseteq Z\Rightarrow \overline{A}\subseteq Z\Rightarrow \overline{A} = Z$
But I don't think it's right because I didn't use the fact that $X$ is first-countable. I have to use also the fact that $f$ is continous so if  $x_{n}\rightarrow x\Rightarrow f(x_{n})\rightarrow f(x)$.
Can someone help me?

A: Your argument works. You may need to elaborate a bit on

Then, $Y$ is a Hausdorff space so, $Z$ is closed in $X$

and it may be preferable to write $Z$ is closed in $\overline{A}$ there. Whether you need to elaborate or not depends on what properties of Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps can be assumed as generally known.
First countability of $X$ plays no role in it, it was probably assumed to enable arguments with sequences for those who aren't yet used to topological arguments using open and closed sets, neighbourhoods, preimages etc.
I find your argument much preferable to a sequence (or net/filter for the version not assuming first countability) argument.

Lloyd Jones poised for loan spell with League One side Swindon Town
Liverpool academy centre-back Lloyd Jones is set to be part of the summer's loan exodus, joining Swindon Town on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old spent much of last season with Blackpool, but suffered a series of injuries that hampered his progress.
Returning to Merseyside to link up with Michael Beale's under-23s side this summer, Jones has proved his fitness, and is now due for a move away from Anfield.
According to BBC Wiltshire Sport, Jones will complete a season-long loan move to League One outfit Swindon Town.
This will see Jones follow former academy team-mate Lawrence Vigouroux, with the Chilean goalkeeper joining the Robins on a permanent deal this summer after a successful loan in 2015/16.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has looked to utilise the loan market this summer to provide his young players with further experience.
Danny Ward, Ryan Fulton, Ryan Kent and Jack Dunn have all left the club on a temporary basis, with Jones, Allan Rodrigues, Cameron Brannagan and Jon Flanagan to follow suit in due course.
This allows Klopp to trim down his first-team squad, too, with the Reds not facing the demands of European football this season.
Liverpool suffered defeat in the Europa League final in May, with La Liga side Sevilla consigning them to a campaign without continental action.
This could work to give Klopp's side an advantage in 2016/17, as they look for a streamlined assault on the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.
Jones is unlikely to enjoy a future with the Reds beyond his spell with Swindon, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Defining the nature of schizophrenia continues to be one of the central challenges left to psychiatry and medical science. Here, the biological, psychological and political (social and economic) factors and their strengths and weaknesses are summarised. Refreshingly, author Philip Thomas does not join one or other of the various camps but shows how each perspective is actually necessary if we are to advance to a better understanding of what schizophrenia is. These points are illustrated through recent work by the author and his colleagues with people who hear voices, demonstrating that these experiences are thoroughly understandable in the context of the individual's life history and social and cultural factors. This is a significant contribution to the ongoing literature on this highly contentious topic.

Thailand's Prime Minister Orders Crackdown on Officials Abetting Human Traffickers
By NDT Bureau December 30, 2020 December 30, 2020
Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha has ordered police to set up a special committee to find and probe government officials abetting the country's human trafficking rings, after a COVID-19 outbreak he has blamed on illegal migrants.
But rights groups doubt the campaign will do much to break the links that smuggling networks have forged with corrupt local officials over many years and consider the effort more show than substance.
Prayut called for the committee at a meeting of the government's Defense Council last week, said Lt. Gen. Kongcheep Tantrawanit, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense who was there.
"We believe that some officials [are] involved. We believe, and we will find out," he told VOA.
The order came less than a week after the outbreak of the worst wave of COVID-19 infections Thailand has seen since the pandemic started. The flashpoint was a shrimp market teeming with migrant workers from neighboring Myanmar, which is wrestling with one of the heaviest coronavirus caseloads in Southeast Asia.
'A drop in the bucket'
Thailand had managed to contain the pandemic, with only 4,297 confirmed cases as of December 17, when health care workers detected the first COVID-19 case at the shrimp market, a few dozen kilometers west of the capital, Bangkok. Authorities have found another 2,143 cases since then across the country, most of them stemming from the market. Although a Thai woman was the first positive case confirmed there, Prayut has blamed illegal migrants from Myanmar for seeding the outbreak, without offering evidence.
Government spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek said that working theory nonetheless sparked the prime minister's call to purge any officials complicit in smuggling migrants into Thailand.
"We will go after the government officers, the police officers, whoever [is] involved in this violation of law," she said. "It's going to be a long-term effort. It has started, but since this incident happened, then more effort must have to be put into this."
Authorities arrested a local politician earlier this month for allegedly trafficking migrants from Myanmar into Thailand's notoriously abusive long-haul fishing industry in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat.
The Thai government claims it convicted 14 officials on trafficking-related charges in 2019. But given the volume of that traffic, "it's really a drop in the bucket," said Phil Robertson, the Bangkok-based deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch.
The United Nations estimates that up to 5 million migrants may be working in Thailand, more than 2-in-5 of them illegally.
In its 2020 global Trafficking in Persons report, the U.S. State Department said corruption continued to riddle and sap Thailand's efforts to sever the networks funneling them in, from border guards taking bribes to police officers sitting on evidence to shield smugglers and employers from prosecution.
'Someone to blame'
Robertson does not expect the new committee to change that in any big way, even with the new health risks unregulated border crossings pose in the era of the novel coronavirus.
"I would be surprised if there's going to be any significant results, in part because the system of corruption between employers and corrupt officials, the sort of nexus of benefits from exploitation of migrant workers is so deep and so intense and so historically grounded that … just another working committee and announcement by the prime minister is not going to do anything," he said.
"What we'll see is a couple high-profile cases, a couple of scalps to be shown to the prime minister to say, hey, we're doing our job," he added. "But I don't expect any sort of change systematically."
Sunwanee Dolah, who consults for several local rights groups on human trafficking, said she has seen too many superficial police probes into smuggling rings for news of a new committee to raise her hopes for real change.
"The investigation [is] cut off when they just find someone who can take the blame, but not getting into the real person who [is] behind the whole process," she said.
"If the committee is actually set up [to] look for specifically the government officials who are behind [it], I don't think that it would help because the big ones will not be caught anyway," she said. "It would just be another process for them to just find someone to blame."
'A complex problem'
Rights groups also say it's just as important — if not more so — to empower the migrant workers themselves through labor and justice reform so they don't turn to smugglers or fall victim to traffickers in the first place.
They say the government should let foreign workers form their own unions and ditch abusive employers without the need for their bosses' consent. Courts should make it easier for them to file complaints by lowering legal fees and offering to translate, said Roisai Wongsuban, an adviser to the Migrant Working Group, a network of local non-government organizations.
"If the justice system is still not friendly or not able to accommodate the needs of the most vulnerable people, I see no point of tackling corruption," she said.
"It's a complex problem, so by saying, 'oh, we will find a bad guy and we will tackle it,' it's too simple."
In its 2020 trafficking report, the U.S. State Department said Thailand had done more in 2019 than the year before to tackle trafficking overall, despite the entrenched corruption. But several rights groups have challenged the claim and say the numbers don't bear that out.
Thailand reported investigating and prosecuting hundreds of trafficking cases in 2019 and winning 304 convictions. But its numbers on all three counts were down year on year.

Mayan sacrifice rituals
The Ancient Maya and Human Sacrifice
Early scholars who studied the Maya believed them to be a pacific people who rarely warred among themselves. These scholars were impressed by the intellectual achievements of the culture, which included extensive trade routes, a written language, advanced astronomy and mathematics and an impressively accurate calendar. Recent research, however, shows that the Maya were, in fact, a tough, warlike people who frequently warred among themselves. It is quite likely that this constant warfare was an important factor in their sudden and mysterious decline. It is also now evident that, like their later neighbors the Aztecs, the Maya regularly practiced human sacrifice.
Beheading and Disemboweling:
Far to the north, the Aztecs would become famous for holding their victims down on top of temples and cutting out their hearts, offering the still-beating organs to their gods. The Maya did cut the hearts out of their victims, as can be seen in certain images surviving at the Piedras Negras historical site. However, it was much more common for them to decapitate or disembowel their sacrificial victims, or else tie them up and push them down the stone stairs of their temples. The methods had much to do with who was being sacrificed and for what purpose. Prisoners of war were usually disemboweled. When the sacrifice was religiously linked to the ball game, the prisoners were more likely to be decapitated or pushed down the stairs.
Meaning of Human Sacrifice:
To the Maya, death and sacrifice were spiritually linked to the concepts of creation and rebirth. In the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, the hero twins Hunahpú and Xbalanque must journey to the underworld (i.e. die) before they can be reborn into the world above. In another section of the same book, the god Tohil asks for human sacrifice in exchange for fire. A series of glyphs deciphered at the Yaxchilán archaeological site links the concept of beheading to the notion of creation or "awakening." Sacrifices often marked the beginning of a new era: this could be the ascension of a new king or the beginning of a new calendar cycle. These sacrifices, meant to aid in the rebirth and renewal of the harvest and life cycles, were often carried out by priests and/or nobles, especially the king. Children were sometimes used as sacrificial victims at such times.
Sacrifice and the Ball Game:
For the Maya, human sacrifices were associated with the ball game. The ball game, in which a hard rubber ball was knocked around by players mostly using their hips, often had religious, symbolic or spiritual meaning. Maya images show a clear connection between the ball and decapitated heads: the balls were even sometimes made from skulls. Sometimes, a ballgame would be a sort of continuation of a victorious battle: captive warriors from the vanquished tribe or city-state would be forced to play and then sacrificed afterwards. A famous image carved in stone at Chichén Itzá shows a victorious ballplayer holding aloft the decapitated head of the opposing team leader.
Politics and Human Sacrifice:
Captive kings and rulers were often highly prized sacrifices. In another carving from Yaxchilán, a local ruler, "Bird Jaguar IV, " plays the ball game in full gear while "Black Deer, " a captured rival chieftain, bounces down a nearby stairway in the form of a ball. It is likely that the captive was sacrificed by being tied up and pushed down the stairs of a temple as part of a ceremony involving the ball game. In 738 A.D., a war party from Quiriguá captured the king of rival city-state Copán: the captive king was ritually sacrificed.
Ritual Bloodletting:
Another aspect of Maya blood sacrifice involved ritual bloodletting. In the Popol Vuh, the first Maya pierced their skin to offer blood to the gods Tohil, Avilix and Hacavitz. Maya kings and lords would pierce their flesh – generally genitals, lips, ears or tongues – with sharp objects such as stingray spines. Such spines are often found in tombs of Maya royalty. Maya nobles were considered semi-divine, and the blood of kings was an important part of certain Maya rituals, often those involving agriculture. Not only male nobles but females as well took part in ritual bloodletting. Royal blood offerings were smeared on idols or dripped onto bark paper which was then burned: the rising smoke could open a gateway of sorts between the worlds.

A Statement from Sónar and Sónar+D
teamsupport 15th May 2020
Sónar regrets to announce that due to the global crisis deriving from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 editions of Sónar Barcelona and Sónar+D will not be able to take place and have been postponed until 2021.
After carefully examining all of the alternatives and closely following the official guidelines, this decision has been reached as the only possible way to safeguard the health and wellbeing of all our festivalgoers, artists and teams.
The 27th edition of Sónar Barcelona, and the 9th Sónar+D congress will now take place on the 17th 18th and 19th of June 2021, in the venues of Fira Montjuïc de Barcelona and Fira Gran Via de L'Hospitalet.
Sónar is already working closely with the artists, speakers and partners in order to reschedule the majority of shows and activities that all of us were looking forward to this year.
We thank our audience for their patience and understanding over the past weeks, and to reassure them of our absolute commitment to ticket holders. All Ticket or Delegate Pass buyers for Sónar 2020 or Sónar+D will be contacted directly via email on May 19th, with information on the benefits created for those who wish to carry their ticket over for the new dates, or, for those unable to attend, how to claim a refund.
In any case, we continue to be active in 2020. Sónar will celebrate an extraordinary edition of Sónar+D to take place on the 18th and 19th September, at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), Sónar's original home.
This new gathering, under the name Sónar+D CCCB, will have a format and content designed for our current cultural context, and with a focus on new and possible futures at the intersection of culture, art and technology. The project arises from our commitment to continue to nurture creative communities, both on a local and international level.
Sónar+D CCCB will be a fundamentally online event, free to access and open to all, with the possibility of physical attendance depending on how the legislation regarding capacity evolves.
Sónar+D CCCB will feature an extensive program of participatory and networking activities, maintaining the congress formats of conferences, masterclasses, demonstrations, workshops, performances and networking.
For this special edition, Sónar+D will be working with the local creative communities that support the congress year after year, as well as looking further afield, co-curating content with the festivals TodaysArt (The Hague) Reworks (Thessaloniki) and Unsound (Krakow), which will take place in their respective cities on the same dates, and who share a creative platform with us in the ongoing We Are Europe co-operative project.
Further details of this special edition and the new partners set to join over the following weeks will be announced very soon.
Also to be announced are further details on Sónar 2021. We look forward to coming together once again, virtually in September, and face to face in June 2021, to celebrate another fantastic edition of Sónar.
Sónar+D CCCB is an initiative of Advanced Music and CCCB, with the collaboration of the Ajuntament de Barcelona, the Generalitat de Catalunya and We Are Europe, a programme of Creative Europe.

Q: Future of IE9: Opacity + Performance I just tried the IE9 "Second Internet Explorer Platform Preview" - which supports CSS opacity now. That's nice, but I tried it with one of my website prototypes, and it's quite slow when scrolling etc.
Admittedly, the prototype uses hundreds of images with opacity != 1, but everything is snappy with current versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
Does anybody know, if there are plans for IE9 to become faster in this area? Even rumours about this would be interesting in this case.
Note: I'm asking, because I want to optimize the site early for future developments, and it has side-effects on planning server resources: Will I have to serve lots of different versions of the image for different opacities, ...

A: The IE9 previws are just that - VERY early previews illustrating the current state of the (very significant) work going on in IE9. The previews aren't even alpha-quality code yet, much less beta.
The performance of IE9 and it compliance with the HTML5 spec du jour is improving daily. Expect continued improvements as new previews ship.
If you have concerns about the performance of IE9 with one of your scenarios, be sure to let the team know over at the IE9 Connect site: http://connect.microsoft.com/ie

Sandy Pond Substation Completed
In June of 2014, State Electric began working for Black & Veatch on the reconstruction of the 1970's era Sandy Pond Substation. After over four years of work, our team led by Utility VP Rick Schneider, General Foremen John Cannon and Brian Hubert, and Foremen Nate Daniels and John Faucher, have completed this complex project. Sandy Pond is State Electric's largest substation contract to date and our team did an outstanding job executing this immense job.
Just to the substation's northeast is the Sandy Pond HVDC Converter Station, which brings about 2,000 MW of clean energy across a 960-mile, 450kV DC transmission system from the hydroelectric power station located in the James Bay area in northwestern Quebec, Canada. At this converter station, the power is converted from DC to AC and then transmitted into the transmission grid at the Sandy Pond Substation site. The substation is a major switching station with 345kV, 115kV, and 23kV voltage levels that transmits power to over 23 communities in Massachusetts.
The main scope of State Electric's work was to upgrade/replace and rewire every piece of yard equipment at the preexisting Sandy Pond Substation site. This included the physical replacement of 34 sets of both 345kV and 115kV motor operated and manually disconnected switches (horizontal, vertical, and inverted orientation), six wave traps which are utilized as part of a system that sends high speed relay signals over the existing power lines for line fault protection, 23 CCVT's, three – 345kV Mitsubishi SF6 insulated breakers, and the refurbishment of six additional SF6 345kV breakers. Another major component of the project was the construction of a new control building that houses new control and relay equipment in a redundant design to meet the constraints of the bulk power substation requirement by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Our crew size peaked at 35 workers and all of our work was done by electricians and lineman from Locals 103, 223, 96, and 104. The majority of the project was completed around a fully functioning substation in which an extremely detailed outage plan was developed by State Electric and initiated by the entire project team in order to strategically plan and execute the work. One of the greatest tasks at hand was to complete all of the work without an errant trip to an existing circuit which would have caused power outages to the utility's customers. During the final walk-through with the owner, our team was commended for their arduous work effort that resulted in completing all of the required tasks without a single circuit trip. State Electric also served as the prime contractor on the project and oversaw the work of Bond Brothers for the civil activities, Crocker Building for the erection of the new control building, United Power Group for the testing, and US Securities for off-hour site security.
As with all State Electric's projects, the safety of our employees is absolutely paramount. Site Safety Representative Carol Remse worked closely with the site team throughout the duration of the project to ensure nothing was overlooked and everyone on the project team met all of the safety requirements. Over 180,000 project man-hours were logged, with over 133,000 direct site man-hours performed by State Electric employees and our subcontractors with only ONE first aid case. On a major substation project like Sandy Pond, that is a true accomplishment and a testament to State Electric's safety culture.
