The latest has Phoenix interested in the $7.4 Million man Brad Richards. Could it happen? Word is Phoenix is looking to move Jovanovski and his $6.5 million cap hit. Package him with Cujo, and you could be on to something. I seriously doubt it, but rumours are rumours, and I have to look beyond the mention of interest to see if a deal could be done. In theory it could, but I hope not. I don't like the idea of either of those guys heading to Tampa. Jovo has had health issues, and Cujo is a 40 year old goalie in the waning twilight of his career. I would hate to lose Ritchie for those guys.
With free agency starting up Sunday, the NHL released the new cap numbers. The New cap will be at $50.3 Million. That is an increase of $6 million over last season.
The Lightning have already stated that they will have a self imposed cap of last season's max, $44 Million. If the Bolts do stick to that $44 mil number, they will have a lot of wiggle room down the stretch to acquire players as needed to head into the playoffs. What worries me is that they couldn't get through the 1st round at $44, they could barely get into the playoffs at that number. Will it be enough this year?
The Bolts have been very quiet on the rumor front, leaving me not sure which way to lean when it comes to predicting their free agent acquisitions. I have a feeling they will make a run at Bryzgalov, with Belfore as a back up plan. The team has said they would go into camp with what they have, but I doubt that will happen. As for a second line forward and a veteran defenseman, your guess is as good as mine. I think they will secure their net first and foremost, then see where they are financially and proceed to fill the holes that are left.
This upcoming season, Southeast Shootout will be adding a few new contributors, including yours truly. I will be blogging the Bolts, and collectively we will be drumming up the smack in the Southeast Division. After you check out the latest happenings here at Bolts Blog, head over to "The Shootout" to let your voice be heard!
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed right wing Norm Milley to a one-year contract, Executive Vice President and General Manager Jay Feaster announced.
"Norm Milley is a very solid veteran and leader at the AHL level and has demonstrated that he is on the doorstep of becoming a regular in the NHL," Feaster said. "We are very pleased that he has chosen to remain with our organization and we look forward to seeing him in Training Camp in September where he will have an opportunity along with a number of other players to make our team. Norm is a high-character player who consistently puts the team first."
Milley, a 6-foot, 195-pound native of Toronto, played in 14 games with the Lightning in 2005-06. He scored two goals, including the first of his NHL career, and had three points in his first season in Tampa Bay. He scored one goal on the power play and averaged more than seven minutes of ice time per game with the Lightning.
The draft is over, and no deals were made. The Bolts are faced with still needing a goalie, a 2nd line forward and 6th defenseman, maybe 2 since word is that Pratt wants to test free agency.
The latest rumors swirling about are centered as usual around goaltending. Now it is Anaheim's Ilya Bryzgalov that is the focus. Since Anaheim re-signed Giguerre, conventional wisdom is that they will now attempt to move Bryzgalov. The Bolts being in the mix is possible since the teams have dealt with one another recently in the O'Brien deal at the deadline. Bryzgalov has 1 year left on a deal that will pay him only $1.36 mil next season. The Lightning wouldn't need to give up much to get him, but will need to keep cap space clear to be able to sign him long term.
Also looking to test the free agent market is forward Eric Perrin. He was expected to step up and fill the hole left by Modin last season, but that never materialized.
TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Lightning made nine selections at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft in Columbus today, using their second round choice (47th overall) to select 5-foot-10, 185-pound forward Dana Tyrell.
Tyrell, 18, a native of Airdrie, Alberta, spent the 2006-07 season with Prince George of the Western Hockey League, registering 30 goals and adding 26 assists in 70 games. He finished first on his team with 16 power-play goals and second on his team in scoring with 56 points. Tyrell played at the Under-17 World Championships with Team Pacific and was tied for first on the team in scoring with 10 points in six games. In February 2007, Tyrell was named WHL Draft Prospect of the Month after registering 16 points in 14 games. In 2005-06, he was named the Prince George Cougars' Rookie of the Year and Scholastic Player of the Year.
With their second selection of the day in the third round, 75th overall, Tampa Bay selected 6 foot, 190-pound center Luca Cunti from Zurich, Switzerland. In 28 games during the 2006-07 season he scored three goals and tallied 23 points. Cunti played for Team Switzerland at the 2007 Under-18 World Championships and lead the team in goals with three. The left-hand shot was ranked 12th among European skaters by NHL Central Scouting entering the draft and is regarded as a highly-skilled forward with excellent speed.
With the 77th overall selection in the third round the Lightning selected center Alexander Killorn from Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. This past season the 6 foot, 161-pound native of Halifax, Nova Scotia skated in 26 games and scored 18 goals and 14 assists. The 17-year-old announced in February that he had verbally committed to play for Harvard starting in the fall of 2008. He helped lead Deerfield Academy to a 13-9-4 record in the 2006-07 season.
With their 107th overall selection in the fourth round, the Lightning chose left wing Mitch Fadden from Lethbridge of the WHL. A 6 foot, 174-pound native of Victoria, British Columbia, he scored 36 goals and added 48 assists in 71 games in 2006-07. Fadden, 19, was named WHL and CHL Player of the Week on Feb. 5, 2007 after registering 12 points, including back-to-back hat tricks, in four games. He was ranked 51st among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting.
The Lightning then acquired the Ottawa Senators 150th, 183rd and 210th selections in the 2007 Entry Draft in exchange for the Tampa Bay's 2008 fourth-round selection.
With the 150th overall selection in the fifth-round, the Lightning selected 6-1, 175-pound forward Matt Marshall of Noble and Greenough School in Massachusetts. The Boston native scored 14 goals and added 10 assists in the 2006-07 season. Marshall was ranked 63rd among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, and is expected to play for the University of Vermont's in 2007-08.
With the 167th overall selection in the sixth round, the Lightning chose 21-year-old left wing Johan Harju from Sweden. A 6-3, 205-pound native of Overtarnea, Sweden, Harju registered 12 goals and 22 points in 55 games in the 2006-07 season with Lulea of the Swedish Elite League. In 98 career games with Lulea in the Swedish Elite League, Harju has recorded 15 goals, 11 assists and 38 penalty minutes.
With the 183rd overall selection in the seventh round, the Lightning selected goaltender Torrie Jung from the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. The 6-1, 169-pound native of Nanaimo, British Columbia played in 33 games in 2006-07 and posted a 3.46 goals-against average and recorded one shutout. Jung was ranked 24th among North American goaltenders by NHL Central Scouting.
With the 197th overall selection in the seventh round, the Lightning selected 6-foot-two, 180-pound defenseman, Michael Ward from Lewiston of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Shippagan, New Brunswick native played in 58 games with Lewiston in 2006-07, registering seven assists and 39 penalty minutes.
With their final selection, the Lightning chose Justin Courtnall from Burnaby of the British Columbia Hockey League in the seventh round, 210th overall. The 6-3, 185-pound left wing registered five goals and nine assists in 53 games in 2006-07. Courtnall is the son of former NHL star Geoff Courtnall.
Wiht day one of the draft n the books, the Lightning have been silent. The possibility that the Lightning were looking at San Joses Toskala have gone by the wayside as Toronto dealt for him. The stinkin Panthers traded for Nashville's Vokun. The Bolts, well Feaster is saying that he is looking to head to camp with what he's got, Holmer, Ramo and yes, Denis. Un-F'n-Believeable. They bench the guy for the playoffs, opting for rookies to start, and they are unwilling to eat his salary or work a trade? They would rather carry his dead weight for 2 years than his 900K cap hit for 4. I don't get this guy. He really does think that the big 3 is all he needs.
There are rumors that the Bolts are interested in Anaheim's Bryzgalov, but I'll believe that when I see it. The Lightning have the 75th pick, and they may use it, or package it in a deal. Either way, it looks like we are due for a re-run of the goalie situation of last season.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed defenseman Shane O'Brien to a two-year contract today, Executive Vice President and General Manager Jay Feaster announced.
O'Brien, a 6-foot-2, 228-pound native of Port Hope, Ontario, made his NHL debut last season, playing in 80 games with the Lightning and the Anaheim Ducks, scoring two goals and adding 14 assists. O'Brien, 23, also tallied two game-winning goals and one power-play goal. He ranked seventh in the NHL among rookie defensemen with 16 points and tied for first with two game-winning goals. His 176 penalty minutes also ranked him fourth in the NHL.
"Shane O'Brien has already demonstrated to us, in a very short period of time, that he is going to be a perfect fit in our system," Feaster said. "He skates incredibly well, gets the puck to our forwards in transition, and he has great grit. He is everything we want in a hockey player and we are extremely pleased to have him signed for the next two years. We expect great things from Shane."
The defenseman was acquired from Anaheim on February 24, 2007. After joining the Lightning, O'Brien played in 18 games and recorded two assists. His time on ice increased following the trade from 14:03 with the Ducks to 18:07 with Tampa Bay. O'Brien played in six Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Lightning in 2007 and averaged 17:11 minutes played per game.
He spent the 2005-06 season with the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League and led all defensemen in playoff scoring with six goals and 22 points, while also leading the league in penalty minutes in the post-season with 81. O'Brien played in 77 regular season games and scored eight goals while adding 33 assists, leading all Pirate defensemen in points and ranking third on the team in assists. He ranked sixth in the AHL in penalty minutes and was tied for 14th for points among defensemen.
During three seasons in the AHL, he collected 15 goals and 76 points with 769 penalty minutes in 214 regular season games. While playing in the AHL he increased his point production each year, going from 10 his rookie season to 41 in 205-06. He also played in 43 Calder Cup Playoff contests and recorded seven goals and 28 points with 158 PIM.
O'Brien played the majority of his junior career with Kingston of the Ontario Hockey League before finishing the second half of the 2002-03 season with Toronto. In three seasons in the OHL he played in 190 regular season games and scored 28 goals while recording 89 points. He also appeared in 24 playoff games and scored four goals with 11 assists.
He was selected by Anaheim in the eighth round, 250th overall, at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
NEW YORK (CP) - There might be more penalty shots during NHL games next season after the board of governors tweaked some rules Wednesday.
A player may now be awarded a free shot if he is fouled on a clear breakaway anywhere in the neutral or attacking zones. Previously, a penalty shot was awarded only when a player on a clear breakaway was fouled on the attacking side of the centre line.
Rules on faceoffs, interference and misconduct penalties were also tweaked.
All faceoffs must now be conducted at one of the nine dots painted on the rink. Some faceoffs, such as when a puck left the playing surface, were previously held on unmarked ice parallel to the dot nearest the place where the puck left the playing surface.
The interference rule was altered so referees can at their discretion assess a major penalty and a game misconduct when an injury results from an act of interference. Previously, only a minor penalty could be assessed for interference.
The term "gross misconduct" was eliminated from the rule book. A game misconduct will now be assessed, and accumulated game misconduct penalties can lead to fines or suspensions.
We all know he is a UFA, and will not be offered a deal in Tampa, but here's the latest on Feds. Rumors have him going to Atlanta, Carolina, Detroit, with Carolina being the highest on the list. I think he would fit in better in Detroit as a 3rd liner, but that's just my opinion, plus I would like to see him out of the East.
Also, there were rumors floating around that the Bolts were trying to deal Denis to Ottawa for Gerber, but that has been quashed. He will probably be dealt or released in the next 2 weeks leading up to the July 1st free agency date.
Available goalies for trade are: Manny Fernandez, Vesa Toskala, Cristobal Huet, Evgeni Nabokov, Martin Gerber, Hannu Toivonen, Nick Khabibulin, David Aebischer. Robert Esche and probably a few others I haven't thought of. So there are quite a few possibilities out there.
The free agent pool is getting shallower, and includes Hasek, Cujo, Belfore, and Giguerre.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Feaster make a run at Fernandez. Perhaps offering up Denis in return.
The Entry Draft starts Friday night, not that it matters to the Bolts who don't have a 1st rounder. Free Agency opens July 1st, cap rumored to be raised to between $50 and $52 mil.
Apparently Philly came calling, wanting to trade their 1st round pick, #2 overall. They were inquiring about Vinny or Brad, and were told that they were not on the market. Rest easy Bolts fans, these two are not going anywhere.
The Lightning offered Artyukhin the same three-year, $1.575-million deal they gave wing Nick Tarnasky, but general manager Jay Feaster said the deal was turned down. The offer, which would have paid $500,000, $525,000 and $550,000 was a step up from the one-year, $475,000 offer he had already turned down.
Artyukhin's agent, Mark Gandler, is probably the one to blame for the situation. Apparently he is regarded as a bottom dweller of an agent, and by the way he is apparently advising Artyukhin, I can believe it. The Lightning have made more than good on their offers to him, right on par with Tarnasky, who I think has more upside. Yet the big Ruskie keeps turning up his nose...at least through his agent.
It's time for the Bolts to deal this guys rights and get something in return. He could be packaged in an attempt to get a goalie or forward, perhaps to San Jose for a Toskala. I don't care if I ever see this guy back in Tampa, the only memorable thing he ever did was to rip a guys helmet off and hit him with it...that was hilarious. Other than that, what has he done? Get rid of him and get something useable in return.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed free agent left wing Jan Hlavac to a one-year contract, announced. Hlavac spent the previous three seasons playing in Europe.
Hlavac returned to Europe after the 2003-04 season following five years in the NHL. He has played in 356 career NHL games with the New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes. He has scored 78 career NHL goals and recorded 189 points, and his best NHL season came in 2000-01 with the Rangers as he scored 28 goals with 64 points, both career highs.
Hlavac spent the 2006-07 season with Sparta Praha of the Czech Elite League. He scored 20 goals and recorded 31 points with a plus-8 rating in 41 games with Sparta. He ranked fourth on the team in goals and points while ranking fifth in assists with 11. He also played in 16 playoff games, scoring eight goals and adding two assists. He was second on the team in playoff goals.
After trying and failing to aquire Gratton prior to last season's trade deadline, Feaster finally got his man. He was able to get center Chris Gratton from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2007 or 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Gratton, the Lightning's first-round choice (third overall) at the 1993 Entry Draft, played in 404 games with the Lightning from 1993-97 and 1998-00. The 31-year-old served as Tampa Bay's captain during the 1999-00 season and recorded 88 goals and 236 points in his two stints with Tampa Bay. He recorded career highs in goals (30), points (62) and penalty minutes (207) in 1996-97 with the Lightning.
A 6-foot-4, 221-pound native of Brantford, Ontario, Gratton spent the previous two seasons with Florida. His best season with the Panthers was 2005-06 when he scored 17 goals and recorded 39 points. Last year he played in 81 games and netted 13 goals with 35 points while also leading the Panthers in face-off percentage at 51.2 percent.
"Chris Gratton is the ideal third-line center for our hockey team," Feaster said. "He has great size and strength, he is very good on face-offs, he has excellent grit and is willing both to take care of himself and defend his teammates, he is fearless when standing in front of the net on the power play and he has developed over time into a solid penalty killer as well. We believe Chris brings to our club a host of elements that we need in order to have the depth necessary to continue to be a top caliber team.
"We have been pursuing Chris for some time now, and I honestly thought we were going to be able to get a deal done to acquire him at the trade deadline this past season. While that did not happen, we never lost our interest in adding Chris as an ideal complement to Vinny and Richy as a big, strong, multi-faceted third-line center who shares our organizational commitment to winning. They say in life that 'the third time is the charm' and we truly believe that his third time in a Lightning uniform is going to be a great one for Chris and our team, and we welcome him back to the Lightning family."
Gratton has never lived up to his first round pick potential, but is a good 3rd or 4th liner. He could center a line with Tarnasky and Roy, or with Perrin and Karlsson. He will make $1.5 this upcoming season.
Nick Tarnasky re-upped Monday with the Lightning. The deal is for 3 years, $1.575mil. Last season the Nasty Man appeared in 77 games and scored five goals (one game-winner) while recording nine points. He registered the first multi-point game of his career with a goal and an assist on March 10 at Calgary and scored on his first career shootout attempt to win the game March 1 at Washington. He made his Stanley Cup Playoff debut in the 2007 Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals and played in six games. He was a great complement to a checking line that included Andre Roy and Andreas Karlsson.
"Nick Tarnasky has all the makings of a true dominant power forward in the NHL," Feaster said. "He has size, strength, solid skating ability, willingness to commit himself to the defensive side of the game and an under-developed ability to finish that even he is just starting to harness and explore."
"I love him, " Feaster said. "He's one of my favorite guys because he brings so much to the table. He's only scratching the surface of how good he can be."
"The main thing is I want to contribute more offensively, " said Tarnasky, who averaged 6:29 of ice time. "It's nice to see where I ended off last season. It's a good spot to start at."
As for where the 6-foot-2, 233-pounder ends up, Feaster said, "If he ever realizes he belongs in the league and can actually play, he'd bear down and finish those chances and opportunities he created for himself as opposed to being surprised he had them."
In two seasons with the Lightning Tarnasky has played in 89 career games. He played 12 games and recorded his first career point, an assist, in 2005-06. Before joining Tampa Bay he played 148 games with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League. He scored 21 goals and had 40 points in his first two AHL seasons.
Wanvig signed a 1 year 2-way contract. Wanvig, acquired February 1 in a trade with Atlanta, appeared in four games with the Lightning last season. A 6-2, 210-pound native of Calgary, Alberta, Wanvig skated in 23 games with Springfield of the AHL after being acquired, recording 11 goals and seven assists. He started the season with Chicago of the AHL, tallying 10 goals and 21 points in 26 games.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have entered into a one-year affiliation agreement with the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Jay Feaster. Mississippi will serve as the Lightning's primary ECHL affiliate starting with the 2007-08 season.
Lightning Assistant General Manager Claude Loiselle, Lightning Assistant to the General Manager Ryan Belec, Mississippi President Bill Yates and Mississippi Head Coach and General Manager Steffon Walby made the announcement at a 3:30 p.m. news conference today in Biloxi. The Lightning organization will provide the Sea Wolves with players under NHL and AHL contracts. The Mississippi coaching staff will not be effected.
Tampa Bay previously had secondary affiliations with Pensacola, Johnstown, Toledo, Chesapeake, Nashville and Knoxville of the ECHL. Tampa Bay announced on March 29, 2007 that they entered into a multi-year affiliation with the Norfolk Admirals (AHL) to be their top minor league affiliate.
The Sea Wolves entered the ECHL in 1996 and have played 10 seasons in Biloxi. They will return to the ice this season after missing the previous two seasons due to damage inflicted on the Mississippi Coast Coliseum by Hurricane Katrina which included the loss of two Zambonis, ice making equipment, dasherboards, team offices and all hockey equipment. Mississippi won the Kelly Cup as champions of the ECHL in 1999. The team will play in the league's Southeast Division. They will open their season on October 19 at the Florida Everblades in Estero.
When Will the NHL Wise Up?
NEW YORK -- The Stanley Cup finals have brought record low ratings to NBC for a prime-time program, sports or otherwise.
Ottawa's 5-3 victory over Anaheim in Game 3 Saturday night received a 1.1 national rating and a 2 share, the network said Tuesday. That matched a rerun of "The West Wing" on July 23, 2005, which also drew a 1.1 rating.
Saturday's rating was down 31 percent from last year's Game 3 between Edmonton and Carolina, which had a 1.6/3.
The national ratings for Monday night's Game 4 declined less sharply from last year. The Ducks' 3-2 victory received a 1.9/3, down 5 percent from the 2.0/3 for Game 4 in 2006.
How much worse is it going to have to get in the States before the NHL gets their product back on ESPN? Hell, after these ratings, would ESPN even take back the NHL? TV is about making money, and a 1.1 and 1.9 don't equal squat. The NHL may have to pay ESPN to take them back. Oh wait, now that Versus is showing minor league MMA (WEC), the huge amount of cross promotion of hockey should....wait, that's right, most of the country doesn't get Versus.
I know, maybe the NHL/Versus could start a reality show called the Ultimate Goalie, where guys live in a house and compete to be the next Habs netminder. Each week they would have to go 1 on 1 with the likes of Brett Hull and Gordie Howe. I'm sure that would drum up interest in hockey. Yeah right.
Truth is, the lockout killed what little interest the casual US sports fan had in the game. Throw in non-traditional Cup finalists Carolina and Edmonton last season, Anaheim and Ottawa this year, and aside from us hockey nuts, no one cares. Most Americans know the Stanley Cup when they see it, but ask them who is playing for it this year and I bet very few know.
The NHL has a huge task ahead of them in trying to rekindle the US interest in Hockey. So far, it seems they have no idea how to do it.
OTTAWA (CP) - The Rocket Richard Trophy finally has a winner that comes from the same province as the Rocket himself.
Quebec native Vincent Lecavalier scored 52 goals for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season to lead the entire NHL and was given the Richard Trophy at an awards luncheon on Saturday.
The Richard Trophy was first handed out in 1999. It's previously been won by Canadians from Ontario and Alberta along with Russians, a Finn and a Czech.
Lecavalier is the first Francophone to have his name inscribed on it.
"It means a lot," said Lecavalier, who was born in Ile Bizard, Que. "Maurice Richard is a legend in Montreal and even though I didn't really see him play, we still heard stories about him.
"I never thought that it would happen and it did. I'm very happy that everything went the way it did this year."
Richard's younger brother, Henri, presented Lecavalier with the trophy. He accepted it by shaking hands with Henri Richard and saying: "Merci beaucoup."
It was the final award presented on a day when Sidney Crosby was given the Art Ross Trophy for leading the NHL in points and Minnesota Wild goaltenders Niklas Backstrom and Manny Fernandez shared the Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals against.
After this weekends debacle of not being able to see game 3, I have Verizon and no HD, so that is why I couldn't see it, I wondered just what the NHL is thinking. Versus reaches about 20 million...yes 20 million fewer homes than ESPN, and as for NBC, well, they moved a Stanley Cup Playoff game to Versus to make room for a horse race. They have no loyalty to the NHL. I know when Bettman signed the original deal it was guaranteed money for the league coming out of the lockout. But now, the decision to take the money as opposed to get the exposure on ESPN seems to have been the wrong one. In the long run, the money the league got up front would have been recovered by the sheer exposure offered by ESPN. Now there is no longer NHL2night, few NHL highlights that are non-fights on Sports Center, and still no NHL Network as was agreed to be launched by now when Comcast/VS. got the NHL deal.
The result, a network (VS.) that could only deliver a .5 rating for games 1 and 2, in TV land that is pathetic. A partnership with NBC that allows its local affiliates to pre-empt games for what ever reason they choose, and not have to find other outlets (Tampa & NC this past weekend). This is how the "New NHL" wants to market itself? The salary cap was a good thing, not worth losing an entire season, but it has created a great new game of hockey. Now it is up to the NHL to market it, and so far they have fallen flat on their face.
What to do? Like a guy crawling back to his ex, put your pride aside and got to ESPN and beg them to take you back. Tell them you were wrong and that it is they who truly understand you. Take what ever financial terms they offer, and be glad you now have 20 million more outlets for exposure, a nightly recap show exclusive to your league, and the possibility of finally attracting new fans to your revamped and great game.
Check That...Game now on Catch 47 & WFLA's HD?
What looked like a done deal turned into no deal, then became a new deal by day's end Friday.
The end result means Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals between Anaheim and Ottawa will air on WFLA, Channel 8's high-definition station and Bright House Networks Catch 47 tonight at 8.
The Tampa Bay Lightning originally had purchased airtime on WTTA, Channel 38. But late Friday afternoon, WTTA's parent company, the Sinclair Broadcast Group, decided not to allow the Lightning to purchase the time.
"We thought we had a deal, but by the end of the day it fell through," said Bill Wickett, vice-president of communications for the Lightning.
On Friday night, however, it was announced the game would be on WFLA-HD and Catch 47.
The game is being broadcast by NBC, but WFLA, Channel 8, has a commitment to air the All Children's hospital telethon.
The remainder of the series will air on WFLA.
According to WFLA's Website, to see the game on Veizon you need to tune to their digital channel 808 or their HD channel 835.
The Bolts know how important it is to get hockey seen in this market, and they have stepped up.
"The Lightning wanted to make sure their fans could see Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals between Anaheim and Ottawa so the team has purchased the air time on WTTA, Channel 38.
The telecast, scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Saturday, originally didn't have a home because WFLA, Channel 8, is airing the annual All Children's Hospital telethon. WTTA will air NBC's feed.
The Lightning will own all the local airtime on the telecast. Campbell said he didn't know how the team would use the time but did say there will be personnel working the telephones Saturday night. "
Great job Lightning!!! Shame on You Channel 8.
In case you haven't heard, channel 8 is preempting the game Saturday to run the All Children's Telethon. As of yet, there has been NO alternate channel named that will carry this game in the Tampa market. If you want to see this rectified, call NBC Corporate (212) 664-4444, and Channel 8 locally (813) 228-8888, and tell them to get off their behinds, and get this game on down here. To think that in an NHL market, there would be no way to watch game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals is just ridiculous.
pre-empted by our Annual All Children's Hospital Telethon.
Game # 4 will air on our Station...Monday, June 4th @ 8-11PM.
Game # 5 will air on our Station...Wednesday, June 6th @ 8-11PM.
rejoin NBC @ 7PM on Sunday evening.
TV Stations...but, there were no open time periods.
-Like I said, this is just ridiculous. Go to a hotel? bar? Basically you are SOL, leave us alone. As for there were no open time periods on other channels..I gues Channel 32 running Masterminds, Cheaters and Jerry Springer is too important to replace with the Cup Finals. The Telethon is a good thing, but some arragement should be made.
Shout out to Bolts Mag, Southeast Shootout, and Sticks of Fire for helping to get the word out.
As expected, Mike Sullivan has been hired on by the Lightning to replace fired assistant Craig Ramsay. He will take over Ramsays former responsibilites as coach of the defense and penalty kill. Sullivan spent 3 seasons as head coach of the Bruins, and most recently coached the US team at last month's World Championships. He also played for Tortorella while with the Coyotes.
Prospects that signed are goaltender Riku Helenius, and center Chris Lawrence. Both signed three-tear deals. Neither is expected to play any higher up than Norfolk next season.


Mid-century modern style and furniture is gaining more and more popularity now, so let's be in trend and make this nightstand. You'll need a plywood sheet, hairpin legs, wood glue/nails/screwdriver. To make the body of the nightstand you'll need 4 pieces of plywood or pine board. The dimension of the plywood for this table were 15 x 45cm (x2) for the side pieces and 45 x 45cm (x2) for the top and bottom.

Utibe Effiong MD
Physician and Public Health Scientist, St. Mary Mercy Hospital, Livonia, Michigan
Nigeria · Class of 2014
After working as an internist in southern Nigeria, Effiong was inspired to look at the broader determinants of health and healthcare in the developing world. Nigeria's booming oil industry accounts for more than 90 percent of the country's earnings, but is also increasingly harmful to public health due to a series of environmental and occupational disasters. Now specializing in environmental health and epidemiology, Effiong says he is working toward a future "where the exploitation of the earth's energy resources does not hinder the development of our societies." His interests also include preventing chronic diseases in developing countries, with a particular focus on diabetes, one of the fastest growing health challenges in Africa. He earned his MPH at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and is now a physician and public health scientist at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, Michigan.

YOU HAVE 137 REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES THAT MEET YOUR CRITERIA!
Extraordinary custom built single family home with craftsman style finishes. This extra large new construction home is being developed by Lighthouse Developers and built by Albert G. Juliano Builders.
Extremely rare opportunity to own a full duplex one block from the beach in Ocean City! Completely updated 3 bedroom 2 bath units were never rented until the top unit was rented in the summer of 2018.


The Volkswagen Golf R is a genuine performance car built on an economy car platform. What do you need to know before you buy a Golf R? Don't worry, we'll tell you everything right here in the Ultimate Buyer's Guide.
Wow, 35 grand for a hatchback! "Crazy," they say. But it's really not all that crazy when you consider that, in the Golf R, you're getting a car that can do almost anything. Conquer snow? No problem. Leave V8 Mustangs in the dust? Bring it on. Fit your mountain bike and snowboard in the back? Chuck it on in. Get good fuel economy? Yep, you can skip that gas station.
Sure, it may not look like a sports car, but the Golf R is a performance car without the compromises.
And we really mean it when we say "performance car." The Golf R, like the Audi S3 upon which it is heavily based, gets a 292 horsepower turbo four that propels the 3,300 pound hatch to sixty in under five seconds. You can thank Volkswagen's dual clutch transmission and all-wheel drive system—standard on the R— for getting that power down.
That all-wheel drive system is totally befitting of a true performance car. The "4Motion" system uses an electro-hydraulic oil pump to apportion torque between the front and rear wheels via a clutch pack. This system can send as much as 50 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle, and works so quickly that the front wheels never get a chance to lose traction.
There are also electronic differential locks (EDS), which apply brakes to the wheel with the least traction, thereby sending torque to the wheel that can better put the power down.
The trick all-wheel drive system, coupled with the R's torque engine, quick-shifting transmission, lightweight body, and great suspension tuning makes this little economy car worthy competition for any sports car in its price range.
We took the Golf R out to Lime Rock with a bunch of other performance cars, including a Porsche Cayman GTS and a Ford Mustang, and it more than held its own.
While it isn't Cayman-quick, the Golf R is remarkably balanced and easy to drive fast. No one was sad about having to swap back into the Golf R from the Alfa 4C. Quite the opposite. There was no car easier and more comfortable to turn lap times in at first than the Golf R. Just ask Mike.
While some hot hatches are about smoking the front tires around every turn, the AWD Golf R is more about turning quick lap times. With abundant power in a relatively lightweight package you can point it out of a turn, squeeze the trigger, and it'll rocket itself int the direction of the next one with surprising poise and limited roll.
Despite its prowess on the track, the Golf R is a lot like the GTI in that it's actually quite comfortable around town. Sure, it's a little stiff, but you won't have to explain to your date why they can't drink coffee in you new car.
As with the GTI, this is one car where we won't blame you for getting an automatic.
Volkswagen reintroduced the Golf R in 2015 after a two year hiatus. The new R brought nearly 40 more horsepower, four more MPG on the highway, more interior room, and less weight than the 2013 model it replaced.
This year, the 2016 adds an updated MIB II infotainment system, and, more importantly, a six-speed manual transmission. It may not be as fast as the auto, but few things say "Fahrvergnügen" like a clutch and a shifter.
The new Golf R is the most powerful Volkswagen Golf ever, churning out 292 ponies and 280 lb-ft of torque at only 1,800 rpm. That power makes it to the ground via a six-speed dual clutch transmission called a DSG or a six-speed conventional manual transmission. The DSG with this engine is a potent pairing, giving this 3,300 pound hatch acceleration figures unheard of on a compact hatchback.
Fuel economy is decent for a car this quick. You'll muster over 30 MPG on the highway, while your city numbers will be only okay – maybe a bit on the low side.
The auto actually out-scores the manual in combined fuel economy, whereas the manual does 1 MPG better on the highway.
Either way, you've got a car that can blow the doors off of cars with three times the displacement, and still manage 30 MPG highway. That's just awesome.
The Golf R comes in only two variants: Golf R and Golf R with DCC And Navigation.
Golf R: Base model. Starts at $35,650. Notable standard features: 2.0-liter turbo I4, all-wheel drive with Haldex center differential, six-speed manual transmission, 18-inch aluminum wheels, performance summer tires, Bluetooth, rearview camera, keyless entry, push button start, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, MIB II infotainment system, 6.5-inch display, satellite radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual zone automatic climate control, leather seats, drive mode selection feature. Notable options: automatic transmission ($1,100).
Golf R With DCC And Navigation: Starts at $37,895: Notable standard features over the S: Four-mode DCC Adaptive Suspension, 19-inch aluminum wheels, MIB II infotainment system with navigation, Fender premium audio system. Notable options: automatic transmission ($1,100); Driver Assistance Package: Adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitor with rear traffic alert, park assist ($1,295).
Let me also tell you this about the Golf R: pay extra for DCC.
Coming back on the same roads as before, DCC in "Race" mode was a revelation. That nagging understeer was gone. The car was a noticeably more adept handler, more direct and more pointed, diving into corners with incredible precision.

Are You Ready to Take Flight with Prime Air?
December 3, 2013 by Doug MacFaddin Filed Under: Blog, Drones
One of the segments on '60 Minutes' last Sunday night was an interview with Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. The interview was pretty standard fare, until Bezos made an announcement to Charlie Rose that he had a new initiative to reveal. The new initiative is to
deliver certain packages to Amazon customers with drones — possibly reducing product shipping time to as little as 30 minutes.
For example, go ahead and click the BUY button for the new Kindle, then make a cup of tea for yourself and when you are done drinking your tea, go out your front door and pick up your new Kindle that was delivered to you by a drone sometime over the last thirty minutes. This scenario is an extremely disruptive concept to standard-fare delivery.
What type of product? The product(s) would have to be 5 lbs or less which currently represents 80%+ of Amazon's deliveries. The customer's delivery address would need to be within a 10 mile radius of an Amazon distribution center.
A drone? The delivery system Bezos described in his interview was an octocopter which uses a lithium polymer battery. One of the big benefits, in addition to expediency, is the green solution provided by the drones, therefore reducing the need for fossil-fuel burning delivery trucks.
The props on the octocopter are fixed-pitch and the motors are attached rigidly to the structure so control is provided by software which throttles the engines to move the aircraft. The feedback loop has to be very sophisticated to insure that the flight plan is achieved.
Projected implementation? Not before 2015 or a date after the FAA delivers their requirements for unmanned aerial vehicles.
Considerations? Safety is the primary driver. How do you build enough redundancy to insure the drone gets to the proper coordinates and returns to the distribution center. How about exogenous variables such as weather, software glitches, hardware malfunctions, customer delivery receptacles and crowded airspace? I am sure that most of these issues are addressable.
Jeff Bezos and Amazon don't get into a business without having a thoughtful plan to move Amazon into a position of market leader. Bezos realizes that the next great company is always "just around the corner" and without consumer trust and product innovation, Amazon can be replaced. Clearly, the concept of Prime Air meets the innovation requirement but there will be much competition in this space as the primary delivery companies (ie, UPS, FedEx) are not going stand by idly and let Amazon gut their business.


I got into the business because I needed money to pay the rent ! The year was 1974 > I was invited to go to Europe by a friend, coincidentally another friend asked if me if I wanted to do an X-rated movie. I asked her how much it paid, she said $150...exactly my half of the rent! Needless to say I did the movie which was a lot of fun, then went on my first European vacation. On my return home I looked up my friend and asked her "hey can I do another one of those movies ?" The rest as they say is HISTORY !!!

Switch Online SNES games that did not make the cut
Switch Online's lineup of Super Nintendo games is okay, I guess. But some titles are conspicuously missing.
Like so many retro game enthusiasts, I was pleased as hell when Nintendo announced their lineup of Nintendo Switch Online SNES games. We all sort of knew it was coming, but when the moment finally arrived and the titles were announced, the excitement was palpable (like, you could literally palp it).
But now, I've had some time to reflect on the list of games and shed some big fat Nintendo fanboy tears over the ones that didn't make the cut.
For the longest time, the Super Nintendo was my favorite gaming console. I probably have more fond memories from the original NES, but the Super NES was such a better machine, with gorgeous 16-bit graphics and animation, bright colors, a massive library of incredible games, and of course the powerful nostalgia of my own coming-of-age in the legendary '90s.
And sandwiched between the NES and the N64, the SNES was in an even better position to win my affection. Despite the fanfare and "decent-for-the-time" muddyblocky polygon graphics, the N64 always looked ugly to me, and the controls were nowhere near as responsive as the SNES.
(By the way, here's our Top 3 Favorite Switch Online SNES games…)
Don't get me wrong, there were some great titles for the N64. I loved Ocarina of Time, Rogue Squadron, Goldeneye and pretty much all the Mario games. But the transition to 3D did some awful things to some of my favorite franchises. Castlevania may have eventually made a decent showing in 3D, but the N64 offerings were pretty sad. Mega Man suffered a similar fate.
And the greatest sin of all? The loss of Squaresoft and their incredible RPGs. Quest 64 was not an adequate follow-up for the RPGs that helpepd make the SNES such an incredible system.
So yeah. Even after the N64 came out, I still went back to my Super Nintendo again and again. To me, it was the greatest system ever made. It was perfectly versatile and capable of fast-playing games with vibrant graphics. And when Nintendo announced the Switch Online SNES games, I was… well, I was expecting more.
So what we have here is my picks for Nintendo Switch Online SNES games that should have been. Games that really should have made the cut, but did not.
I'm sure they have their reasons
I'm not the kind of Nintendo fan to pretend that I could run the company any better. I couldn't. And I'm sure they have reasons for leaving out so many obvious Switch Online SNES games. But still. What the hell, you know?
It seems most likely that Nintendo couldn't negotiate favorable terms to use some of the 3rd-party licenses. I can only imagine the fees that bigger game companies would demand for use of their games. Plus, many great SNES games are still being published today on modern systems as collections. Publishers would not want to murder their sales by making those games available with the rest of these Switch Online SNES games.
Currently, the best way to play any of these games is to pick up physical copies. In case you're interested, I'll drop an eBay link to each one so you can see current pricing. Yes, these are affiliate links and if you buy something it will help me out a great deal.
Anyway, here are my picks:
I understand why this one didn't make it. Capcom has multiple Mega Man collections on multiple Nintendo platforms. But Mega Man X is their most popular Mega Man title from the Super NES. They wouldn't want to give away the cow when they could sell the milk.
Still, Mega Man X is sorely missing from the collection. Like a rotten-out tooth that once chewed the most delicious food. Never mind. Poor analogies aside, this is one of the best platformers for the Super NES and I wish they had included it.
Mega Man X on eBay
Turtles in Time
While Capcom has clear reasons for excluding Mega Man from the Switch Online SNES games collection, I'm not quite sure why Konami wouldn't give up this one. Turtles in Time is not being released in collections at all, other than the Arcade 1-Up. But sales on that should not be hurt by having included this game on the Switch.
My other guess is simply that Konami wanted to charge too much, or that Nickelodeon and Konami would both want a cut, and it would no longer be cost-effective for Nintendo to offer this at such a crazy low Switch Online price.
But, like Mega Man X, this game is such a classic. And it's such a great 2-player beat-em-up, which there don't seem to be quite enough of in the Switch Online SNES games.
Turtles in Time on eBay (Watch out for fakes)
My vote for most overrated. But still, it would be nice to have.
It is absolutely nut-balls that Nintendo didn't throw us this bone. It's on the SNES Classic Mini, so why not here?
The thing about Earthbound is that people love it (not sure why) and it fetches an absurd price for an original cartridge. Even moderately serious retro collectors (like me) won't touch the thing. It's more of a trophy than a fun game.
That said, I think casual-retro gamers' curiosity about Earthbound would be more likely to attract new subscribers to the Switch Online SNES games. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Besides that, this game was developed by HAI Laboratories, the same team that created Kirby. They have a super-sweet deal with Nintendo. HAI is technically independent, but they are also tied to Nintendo in a way that benefits them mutually. Earthbound is every bit as much of a Nintendo property as Kirby is. I think.
My best guess is that they're saving Earthbound for a later announcement.
See how ridiculously expensive Earthbound is on eBay. Again, beware of counterfeit copies.
So many Squaresoft
Squaresoft dominated the Super NES. In my house, at least. I was a sucker for those 16-bit JRPGs and played every one I could get my hands on.
I especially enjoyed the Square RPGs with real-time combat like Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore. But of course Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy were great as well. Any of those would have been very nice to include with the Switch Online SNES games.
We did get Breath of Fire, which is a fine game. It's kind of an oddball, as it was developed by Capcom and distributed by Square. But with one solitary JRPG in all the Switch SNES collection, it feels like I've been short-changed.
The Super Nintendo was rich with brilliant RPGs. It was my favorite genre, and a huge reason the SNES was my favorite system. And I think the entire retro community would agree that if there was one thing the SNES did well, it was those. Squaresoft may have gotten their start on the NES/Famicom, but they elevated their art form to its peak on the SNES.
Concurrent with the announcement of the Switch Online SNES games, Square also released their Collection of Mana for the Switch. So it makes sense that nothing from that collection would go into the Switch Online games. Square also announced a remake of Trials of Mana, which is pretty exciting.
They also like to release Chrono Trigger every few years on different platforms. (Sometimes with unwanted tweaks that enrage the fans.) And the Final Fantasy franchise? Well, I can only imagine how much money Square would demand for anybody to use that.
Well, it's our loss I suppose. Too bad. But I would so love to have a direct SNES port of Chrono Trigger on Nintendo Switch. (sigh)
Check out this eBay search page for Squaresoft games on SNES. They're all gems!
Super Mario RPG
I had to quadruple-check when I was writing this to make sure that Super Mario RPG really, actually, for-really didn't make the list of Switch Online SNES games. It seems like such a no-brainer!
Super Mario RPG is a Mario game! And on a system that was known for its RPGs, and in a release platform that has very few! What the hell!?
Oh wait. Super Mario RPG was developed by Square. So maybe that's the holdup. I don't know why I imagine Squaresoft as a money-clutching drama developer. But I do.
Anyway, you would think that Nintendo could work something out to get this game released with the other Switch Online SNES games. Maybe they're saving up their allowance to buy some rights from Square. I enjoyed Super Mario RPG, but not enough to actually purchase it. So it would be great to play it again in HD for a measly $4 per month.
Mario 64 on eBay
I'm sure there are plenty more
I'm sure there are a ton of other games that I wish were here. You can probably think of a few. (Leave in comments plz.)
For me, the biggest travesty is the loss of all the great SNES RPGs. It was bad enough that Nintendo lost their relationship with Squaresoft to Sony when they insisted on continuing to use cartridge games.
But my favorite memories with this system were playing the epic RPGs and deep adventure games that really showed what the SNES could do, and drew me ever deeper into fantastic worlds that the NES could never render, and the N64 would abandon altogether.
Welp, here's hoping for a new batch of Switch Online SNES games soon.

I would absolutely love it if Konami/Nintendo put either Turtles In Time or Sunset Riders(or both, but I'm not greedy…) on the Switch Online.

Maybe they're saving those for a future Arcade Classics compilation? Fingers crossed!

Fauci issues warning about second wave
Several sports seasons may be in jeopardy due to coronavirus
Chris Bumbaca
@BOOMbaca
The returns of the NBA, WNBA, MLS, and NWSL amid the COVID pandemic are predicated around forming a "bubble" environment for their respective leagues.
The NFL is planning to play its 2020 season, however, with a normal travel schedule and teams using their home stadiums. That may present an issue, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"Unless players are essentially in a bubble — insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day — it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall," Fauci told CNN on Thursday.
He also expressed pessimism for a full season if a second wave of the coronavirus spreads during the fall.
"If there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year," he told CNN.
At least two NFL players, Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson and Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, were revealed this week to have tested positive for the virus. Commissioner Roger Goodell in an interview with ESPN on Monday said the league expects players to test positive during the season.
NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills responded to Fauci's comments Thursday, saying "Dr. Fauci has identified the important health and safety issues we and the NFL Players Association, together with our joint medical advisors, are addressing to mitigate the health risk to players, coaches and other essential personnel. We are developing a comprehensive and rapid-result testing program and rigorous protocols that call for a shared responsibility from everyone inside our football ecosystem."
"Make no mistake, this is no easy task," Sills' statement continued. "We will make adjustments as necessary to meet the public health environment as we prepare to play the 2020 season as scheduled with increased protocols and safety measures for all players, personnel and attendees. We will be flexible and adaptable in this environment to adjust to the virus as needed."
Meanwhile, NFL Players Association leadership also has said that it's too early to speculate. Asked this week about his level of optimism over an on-time return to action, union president and Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter told USA TODAY Sports, "I don't know at this point. Obviously, it's a novel, emerging virus, so there's consistent updates, and new information comes out every day. So, I've continually tried not to look too far ahead, focus on two-week spurts of making sure we're all set up."
In college football, programs across the country have reported players testing positive. On Thursday, the University of Texas said 13 players had tested positive or were presumed positive for COVID-19.
The NFL has allowed coaching staffs to return to team facilities, but players have not been permitted access unless they are rehabilitating injuries.

This Safety Group Insurance Program provides very competitive yet stable insurance pricing. The possibility of a dividend allows the maximum possible reduction in insurance costs. If earned, a dividend, which is the amount of premium which exceeds the losses and company overhead expenses, would be returned to participants in proportion to their premiums paid to the Safety Group. Since 1980, the program has returned nearly $41 million to Iowa cities and utilities.
Very soon participants of the program should be receiving dividend checks and virtual $25 coupons, many times these check are delivered by your local insurance agent. Within the IAMU membership 429 utilities, cities, and others have hired IAMU's Job Training and Safety (JT&S) department to help them with their safety programs, either by customized services and/or with safety training classes. By joining a group cities and utilities combine their resources to make the training economical no matter the size of the town, while other cities have individual agreements with IAMU to deliver training just to them.
What to do with those dividend checks and coupons? IAMU would like to suggest using the dividends by applying the funds towards your safety program and safety training. Or if you don't have a program contact IAMU to join one of our safety group. When you improve your safety performance, reduce things like your injuries, loss time accidents, workers compensation you help your own city while also reducing the insurance group's claims. As a group lower claims will create larger dividends and over time minimize what your city and utility pays for insurance. The $25 coupons you receive are "virtual" coupons. When you receive your dividend checks you will also receive a sheet of paper that tells you your coupon numbers. Claim your coupons by referencing these coupon numbers on your safety related invoices from IAMU or on workshop registrations. Safety related means you may use your coupons to apply towards your safety training from our JT&S safety classes, most electric, gas, water, and JT&S workshops offered by IAMU; the workshop brochure will indicate if risk management coupons apply towards the workshop.
If you have any questions about joining one of our safety groups or redeeming your coupon contact Dave Hraha at IAMU.


What Is OAuth Single Sign-On Authentication?
OAuth is a type of single sign-on solution that is gaining popularity online. Single sign-on is the concept of authentication when a single logon event can be used to allow access into a collection of systems. This is different than traditional authentication where each system would require its own unique and local authentication. Single sign-on has been a standard element in company networks for decades. There have been many attempts to duplicate this concept on the Internet, but only now with the adoption of OAuth is that actually starting to becoming a reality.
1. You visit a secondary site and click on an offering to use a primary site's authentication to access the secondary site.
2. This takes you to the primary site. If you do not have a current active session with the primary site, you are prompted to authenticate to the primary site.
3. With an active session to the primary site, you are prompted to confirm or accept the secondary site's request to link to your account on the primary site.
4. Clicking to confirm this returns you to the secondary site where you now have access to that site.
Once OAuth has been confirmed on a secondary site, all future visits to that site will automatically log you in as long as you have a current active session with the primary site. The three most common or popular sites used as primaries are Facebook, Twitter, and Google, but there are dozens of other potential primary sites as well, including Amazon, Dropbox, Evernote, Flickr, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Tumblr, and Yahoo. Plus, there are numerous sites supporting OAuth to function as secondary sites.
OAuth is a huge convenience for users as it reduces the number of unique logon credential sets that you must keep track of. However, this is not necessarily a good security option. If the primary site's authentication is a basic password only, then when your account is compromised on the primary site, the intruder automatically gains access to all the linked secondary sites as well.
By the way, the primary site will maintain a list of secondary sites that have been linked. This list is for your convenience when you want to disconnect an OAuth link, but an intruder can use it to follow your links to those secondary sites.
Only use OAuth to link sites back to a primary site if you have configured multi-factor or multi-step authentication on the primary site. Otherwise, you would be better served setting a long and complicated password for each site and putting up with the hassle of managing multiple difficult credential sets (see my white paper "Ten Steps to Better, Stronger Passwords" for guidance on this).
Excerpted from the Global Knowledge white paper, "Multi-Step Authentication and Why Should I Use It".


Why do people leave poo bags hanging from trees or laying in the undergrowth? This is actually worse than just leaving the poo where their dog has deposited it. Plastic is the scourge of wildlife as was shown on the recent David Attenborough inspired documentary 'Drowning in Plastic' At least if the poo is left open to the elements, it will break down naturally, a food source for insects, whereas left in a bag, it's waiting until the bag eventually breaks down or gets eaten by an animal. This image below shows the contents of a stag that was culled as it was extremely thin, its ribs showing and yet its stomach was bulging. Basically, it had eaten numerous plastic bags that had clogged up its digestive system.
This of course then opens up the debate about using plastic poo bags. Why, when we are being urged to cut back on plastic are we then being encouraged to use plastic poo bags? What happens to all the poo bags that are collected? In most cases, the bags end up buried in a landfill site where over time they slowly degrade - plastic bags can take hundreds of years to degrade. The obvious answer is to not use plastic bags but look for alternatives such as bags made partly of corn starch which are certified fully biodegradable and home compostable, a quick search on Amazon found these. There are other solutions including flushable poo bags, composting in your garden or even dog loos for your garden.
Whatever you do, please do not leave poo bags hanging from branches like some form of Christmas decoration! Use a Poo Bin or take it home with you.

The Financial Crisis of Abolition
John Schulz
Description Reviews Table of Contents
From 1850 to 1914, Brazil enjoyed a long period of political and financial stability that was interrupted just once. During this rupture, 1889-1894, the country suffered two successful coups-d'etat, military government, civil war, and a disastrous decline in the value of the national currency. The five years of disorder and crisis came in the wake of the nation's abolition of slavery and related financial repercussions.
This book examines Brazil's crisis years, for the first time setting post-slavery financial decisions within their international and local historical contexts. Arguing against the "European dependency" interpretation of Brazil's history, John Schulz explains how planters' demands for easy credit after abolition were met with shortsighted economic policies. The failure of the expansionary monetary policy of the 1890s not only illuminates Brazil's history, it also suggests lessons relevant to financial and political decisions being made today.
John Schulz is dean, Brazilian Business School, São Paulo. He has lived in Brazil for more than thirty years and was a banker before joining BBS in 1999. He is editor of the journal História e Economia.
"A clear and very well-written narrative of Brazilian financial history during an important period."—Zephyr Frank, Stanford University
"This is the best researched and thought-out study of the financial policies of the Brazilian government from the 1870s to 1900. John Schulz has a deep understanding of both Brazilian history and banking."—Steven Topik, University of California, Irvine
"Through a careful and penetrating analysis of Brazil's credit, monetary and trade policies, Schulz reveals the key to Brazilian stability in the nineteenth century and to the continued predominance of its political and economic elites. We too often forget that slavery was an economic as well as a social system, and Schulz's book better than any modern study shows the economic effects of abolition and the transition to free labor in the new BrazilianRepublic. This is a fundamental study that provides the economic background to the politics of Brazil's transition from monarchy to republic."—Stuart Schwartz, YaleUniversity
"Given the relatively few studies of this complex financial period, this book is an important addition to the literature. It provides a well-researched account of the financial system of Brazil in the second half of the nineteenth century and also important new material on one of the neglected aspects of the abolition of slavery in Brazil."—Francisco Vidal Luna, American Historical Review

A large number of structures exist in the neck and occasionally these can swell so that they can be felt or seen. Sometimes these swellings can be serious and so it is important that if a swelling has been noticed it is assessed and investigated rapidly to establish the cause. For example lymph nodes within the neck are part of a person's immune system. They swell up and go down in size depending on whether someone is fighting infection or not. Most of the time enlarged lymph nodes reflect a normal immune response but if they continue to enlarge in size this is more of a worrying feature as it may indicate the potential for cancer.
During your consultation we will attempt to establish the cause of your neck lump which may involve biopsy tests and scans. It may be necessary to remove the lump. The specific type of operation required depends upon what the lump has been identified as. This will be discussed at the assessment stage of the process, together with alternative options and the risks and benefits of each option.


Contemporary Color is a unique audio effect for "coloring" your mixes. Instead of recreating some of the less-desirable aspects of analog such as noise and flutter, Contemporary Color attempts to only add smooth color.
Our goal was to make a plugin that offered a new perspective on mixing. There are so many great compressors, equalizers, reverbs etc. on the market; and, while one can never have too many compressors, we believe Contemporary Color will add some creativity to your workflow!

Q: iText - PDF file displaying message at the top about fillable form Here is what I did:
1. I have a template WORD file that can be used to fill an application for some stuff. Assigned pre-defined tags to fillable fields.
2. Converted that word file to PDF file using CenoPdf
3. Used iText to fill the fields in generated PDF file.
4. Now when user downloads that filled file, they see a nice purple at the bar saying "Please fill out the following form. You can not save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like to copy for your records".
how can i get rid of this purple bar and the message? I am assuming i need to set some bits through iText to turn this off??
Thanks

A: You can't edit the purple bar at the top. This is a flaw with Acrobat. Whenever your PDF contains form fields, the message is automatically displayed by force and you cannot edit it. Adobe feels that it's users are more important than it's developers, and forces the bar and message whenever form fields are present.

Q: Bookmarklet to open window to URL, wait for load, close window Disclaimer: I don't actually expect this is possible due to security issues, but before I give up entirely I had to ask: Is it possible, using a Javascript bookmarklet, to open a window to a URL and have it auto close after that content has loaded?
My usage is to temporarily disable Pi-hole using it's API. The current code I have works on a simple timeout, but I'd like to have it ensure the page loaded before closing the window.
Here's my (expanded) code at the moment:
(() => {
    t = prompt('Disable time (seconds)',30);
    if (t) {
        w = window.open(`http://___IP___/admin/api.php?disable=${t}&auth=___APIKEY___`,'pi-disable','left=20,top=20,width=300,height=200');
        setTimeout(() => w.close(), 1000);
    }
})()

In case it's not obvious, I don't control the URL output so I can't add script there to have it close, otherwise this would be a non-issue. And for reference, the output is just a JSON string: {"status":"disabled"}
Just for kicks, I tried using fetch() or adding an iframe, but as expected those presented other issues (Mixed Content, CORS policy, etc).

A: I don't think this is possible with a bookmarklet, because it can only run its code on the one page you press the bookmarklet button on. If you open a window to a new domain, the bookmarklet won't be able to affect it or watch it load.
You could have another bookmarklet that you press when the new window opens, but that kind of defeats the point of automation
You could, however, do this with a userscript, which can run automatically when a page is opened. When the API site is opened, have the userscript watch for page load, then post a message telling your bookmarklet that the page is finished loading, and can be closed. Something along the lines of:
(() => {
    const t = prompt('Disable time (seconds)',30);
    if (!t) return;
    const w = window.open(`http://___IP___/admin/api.php?disable=${t}&auth=___APIKEY___`,'pi-disable','left=20,top=20,width=300,height=200');
    window.addEventListener('message', (messageEvent) => {
        if (messageEvent.data === 'api page loaded') w.close();
    });
})()

and, with a userscript manager like Tampermonkey:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Watch for API pageload
// @match        http://___IP___/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  window.opener.postMessage('api page loaded', '*');
});

Focusing on large urban centers, it developed a second-generation mobile telephony network and a broadband fixed wireless access network, point-to-multipoint, operating in the 3.5GHz band. It also developed a national leased line and privately owned transmission network. Q-Telecom was directly connected to the Hellenic Telecommunication Organization (OTE) and the three other mobile operators.

The recipe is for the grill and is especially good for your larger filets. Place walleye in a foil boat. Use seasoning to taste (or you can substitute Old Bay seasoning, with the lemon and pepper). Put fresh lemon on your filets, and then about a 1/4 inch pad of butter every 3-4 inches. Last, put on the chopped onions (note sweet onions such as Vidalia or Texas Sweet work best). Grill on medium heat approximately 8-10 minutes then turn over and grill approximately 5 minutes. Remove your filets and onions from the foil.
