Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE Amex: CQP) announced today that its subsidiary, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC ("Sabine"), has signed a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with EDF Trading, a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF S.A., under which EDF Trading intends to contract between 0.7 million tonnes per annum ("mtpa") and 1.5 mtpa, equivalent to approximately one to two billion cubic meters ("bcm") of processing capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Under the MOU, EDF Trading and Sabine have agreed to proceed with negotiations of definitive agreements for EDF Trading to contract bi-directional capacity, subject to certain conditions precedent, including but not limited to the receipt by each party of requisite internal approvals, Sabine's receipt of regulatory approvals and making a final investment decision to construct the liquefaction facilities.
"We are pleased to announce the start of negotiations of definitive agreements with EDF Trading," said Charif Souki, Chairman and CEO of Cheniere Partners. "Including this MOU we have entered into MOU's for up to approximately 6.2 mtpa of LNG processing capacity. We look forward to finalizing discussions with additional customers and advancing with our project."
Cheniere Partners owns 100 percent of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal located in western Cameron Parish, Louisiana on the Sabine Pass Channel. The terminal has sendout capacity of 4.0 Bcf/d and storage capacity of 16.9 Bcfe. Additional information about Cheniere Partners may be found on its website: http://www.cheniereenergypartners.com
As currently contemplated, the Sabine Pass liquefaction project would be designed and permitted for up to four modular LNG trains, each with a peak processing capacity of up to approximately 0.7 Bcf/d of natural gas and an average liquefaction processing capacity of approximately 3.5 mtpa. The initial project phase is anticipated to include two modular trains and the capacity to process on average approximately 1.2 Bcf/d of pipeline quality natural gas. We intend to enter into contracts for at least 0.5 Bcf/d of natural gas liquefaction capacity per train. Commencement of construction is subject to regulatory approvals and a final investment decision contingent upon Cheniere Partners obtaining satisfactory construction contracts and entering into long-term customer contracts sufficient to underpin financing of the project. We believe that the time and cost required to develop the project would be materially lessened by Sabine Pass LNG's existing large acreage and infrastructure. We anticipate LNG export could commence as early as 2015.
EDF Trading is a 100% owned subsidiary of the EDF Group. It is a leader in the international wholesale energy markets with its own portfolio of assets. EDF Trading was one of the first entrants into the global traded market for liquefied natural gas. Its LNG trading activity supports the wholesale gas pipeline business in North West Europe, as well as helping diversify the gas supply for EDF's gas-fired power plants and growing customer base. In Europe, EDF Trading has regasification capacity at the Montoir and Zeebrugge terminals. EDF Trading also has a substantial network of gas pipelines and storage assets across the US.

L'opération Nordwind (Vent du Nord) était une des dernières offensives militaires de la Wehrmacht sur le front de l'Ouest durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle eut lieu du  au  en Alsace du nord et en Lorraine (France).

À la fin du mois de janvier, l'offensive fut stoppée par les troupes alliées constituées d'unités américaines appuyées par des unités françaises. Les combats les plus violents eurent lieu dans les environs de Hatten et de Rittershoffen, dans le département du Bas-Rhin. Durant les batailles de chars qui se déroulèrent entre le 8 et le , Hatten fut presque entièrement détruite.

Objectifs de l'offensive

L'offensive en contient en fait deux, non coordonnées. Un premier plan d'attaque est conçu vers le  à l'initiative du groupe d'armées G qui tient le front du Rhin à la Sarre, comme une attaque dans la suite de la bataille des Ardennes : une offensive nord-sud contre le saillant que forme la  américaine entre les Vosges et le Rhin (opération Nordwind). Le général Blaskowitz, nouvellement nommé, est responsable de cette opération. Des moyens importants sont disponibles, qui vont permettre à l'offensive de se poursuivre du  au .

Parallèlement, le groupe d'armées Oberrhein (« Rhin supérieur »), placé directement sous le commandement du Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, cherche à profiter de l'affaiblissement allié consécutif à la bataille des Ardennes. Sans plan d'ensemble et en étant seulement opportuniste, il fait franchir le Rhin à quelques unités au nord de Strasbourg et lance une attaque un peu plus ambitieuse le long du Rhin à partir de la poche de Colmar (opération Sonnenwende). Les moyens disponibles pour ces attaques sont plus faibles que pour Nordwind, ce qui empêche toute exploitation une fois le premier terrain conquis.

Les Allemands n'ont pas de plan d'ensemble liant ces actions avec celles de Nordwind.

Déroulement

L'offensive débuta le , vers , sans préparation d'artillerie pour ménager l'effet de surprise, dans la nuit du nouvel an 1945.

Vêtus d'uniformes de camouflage blancs, cinq compagnies de la  Panzergrenadier division SS Götz von Berlichingen se lancent à l'assaut des bataillons de première ligne du  d'infanterie américain installés dans les bois, dans le secteur de Rimling. Les soldats américains reçoivent, avec surprise, le choc qui s'effectue par vagues successives. Après avoir reçu des renforts et secondés par les tirs d'artillerie et de mortier, ils accentuent rapidement leur résistance. Les assaillants sont décimés mais les combats font rage et les allemands finissent par prendre de flanc une compagnie américaine, obligeant le reste des forces de première ligne à battre en retraite. Toutefois le  à partir de  du matin, l'offensive allemande ne progresse plus que très lentement : par exemple, la  d'infanterie allemande ne progresse le premier jour que de .

Dans le même temps, une offensive secondaire est lancée au sud de Strasbourg contre les positions françaises. Le deuxième jour, Reipertswiller et Wissembourg sont réoccupées par les troupes allemandes. Le 4 janvier, les Américains se replient et établissent une ligne de front sur la Moder qui traverse le centre-ville de Haguenau.

Dans la nuit du 4 au 5 janvier, plusieurs bataillons allemands traversent le Rhin devant Gambsheim. Ils établissent une tête de pont composée d'éléments hétéroclites et mal nourris. Ils attaquent avec acharnement mais beaucoup de soldats allemands étaient prêts à déserter. Il fait particulièrement froid, l'eau gèle dans les gourdes et le temps est défavorable à l'intervention de l'aviation.

Le lundi 8 janvier, les Allemands massent des forces considérables en Alsace en traversant le Rhin en quinze endroits, en particulier entre Freistett et Gambsheim, et entre Fort-Louis et Söllingen. Le  Panzerkorps lance son attaque sur Hatten, passage obligé sur la route de Strasbourg : c'est le début de la terrible bataille de Hatten-Rittershofen qui allait durer 12 jours.

De violents combats eurent également lieu autour de la station de pompage de la Breymuhl, près de Rohrwiller. Durant plusieurs jours, du 8 au 11, elle fut la scène de combats acharnés, au corps à corps.

Le mercredi 10 janvier une longue file de réfugiés venant par la route de Wissembourg se déplaça le long du canal de dérivation de la Moder. Au moins un quart de ces gens étaient en chemise de nuit alors que le thermomètre indiquait . Ils racontaient que les Américains avaient tout anéanti devant eux avec des canons à tir rapide, pour arrêter l'attaque allemande.

Le 15 janvier, pas moins de  allemandes étaient déployées au sein des groupes d'armées "G" et "Oberrhein". Les Allemands réussirent encore à reconquérir d'autres villages ainsi que la forêt de Haguenau. Ils arrivèrent à la porte de cette ville le 16 janvier.
Au sud, la  française avait arrêté les Allemands après de durs combats. La  d'infanterie algérienne vint renforcer les troupes américaines au nord.

Mais après le retrait des Américains de Hatten et de Rittershofen le 20 janvier, le front se stabilisa sur la Moder dans la nuit du 20 au 21.
Les habitants de Hatten qui avaient survécu purent alors sortir des caves où ils s'étaient terrés. Sur les  que comptait le village, 350 étaient détruites et partout il y avait des cadavres qui jonchaient le sol.  et  du village y avaient trouvé la mort durant la bataille.

Le 21 janvier, alors que le temps est radieux et la neige abondante, les Allemands se réorganisèrent le long du canal de la Moder et portèrent l'effort principal sur le secteur de Haguenau. Des chars furent vus à l'est de la ville et la population fuit à nouveau.

Le 23 janvier, des avions à réaction allemands lâchèrent des bombes sur Gries, Weitbruch et Kaltenhouse mais le reflux des Américains était terminé. Les troupes allemandes étaient concentrées au nord de la forêt de Haguenau et des chars allemands étaient au Hundshof à Marxenhouse et à Schweighouse. Une patrouille de cyclistes allemands en tenue de camouflage blanche fut repoussée à l'entrée de Haguenau.

Le 24 janvier, les Allemands, conscients de leur faiblesse, n'attaquèrent pas directement Haguenau mais tentèrent de l'encercler afin de faire fuir les Américains. L'attaque fut lancée dans le secteur de Kaltenhouse, de Schweighouse et d'Ohlungen. De violents combats au corps à corps eurent lieu dans les maisons et la papeterie de Schweighouse.

Le 25 janvier, les Allemands lancèrent une ultime contre-attaque, appuyée par trois chars, à partir du Kestlerhof et réussirent à franchir la Moder à mi-chemin entre Kaltenhouse et Haguenau. Les combats les plus durs se déroulèrent dans la soirée, en particulier dans les premières maisons de la ville. La guerre de position s'installa en plein Haguenau, de part et d'autre du canal de la Moder. Le soir même, alors que les renforts américains commençaient à arriver depuis les Ardennes, l'ordre fut donné par Hitler d'abandonner l'opération Nordwind, y compris la tête de pont sur la Moder. Mais les combats ne cessèrent pas pour autant.

Enfin, le  Panzerkorps dut se retirer de la région pour être transféré sur le front de l'Oder afin de participer à la défense de Berlin. Cela mit un terme définitif à l'offensive allemande mais une longue guerre de position débuta alors.

Épilogue

À la fin de l'opération Nordwind, les combats faisaient toujours rage dans le Nord de l'Alsace et Haguenau fut bombardée quotidiennement par l'artillerie allemande durant de nombreuses semaines.

Le vendredi , Colmar fut libérée et, pour la France entière, ce fut l'Alsace qui était libérée. Mais le nord de la région restait toujours aux mains des Allemands. À Haguenau,  restées dans la ville de front vivaient dans les caves et ne tentaient que quelques sorties pour se ravitailler, malgré le danger des obus qui tombaient.

Finalement, le , les Américains déclenchèrent une contre-offensive générale vers le nord : l'opération Undertone. Oberhoffen fut attaquée et le premier pont Bailey lancé sur la Moder pour permettre à l'infanterie et aux chars de traverser le cours d'eau. Les Allemands battirent en retraite et les combats s'éloignèrent enfin de « Haguenau la Sanglante », comme l'avait nommée un journal américain. L'Alsace et la Lorraine ne furent finalement entièrement libérées par l'opération Undertone que le .

When you've got young children the idea of a holiday can induce feelings of stress, worry and outright panic rather than getaway excitement. You're in desperate need of a break but you don't want to end up broken from a holiday that doesn't cater to your young family.
We spoke to three mums with under 3s about their recent travels to Hamilton Island to find out about their holiday experiences with toddlers. In sharing their stories, they've helped us collect a range of tips and holiday ideas to ensure your trip to Hamilton Island is your best getaway yet!
German Fashion Blogger (www.shoplemonde.de) Mehrnaz, travelled to Hamilton Island as part of an Australian holiday from Europe with her husband, Chris, and their toddler.
Sydney-sider Kayla travelled to Hamilton Island with her husband and their two little girls, a six-month-old and a threenager (aka a three-year-old who thinks she's a teenager). They came with their extended family and enjoyed a week on the island.
Ready to snorkel on the Reef World tour.
Travel bloggers Rob and Tracy (www.theblondenomads.com.au) visited the island with their two children, Marli (three-years-old) and Ziggy (one-year-old). This Sydney-based family came to Hamilton Island as part of their goal to travel with their young children and inspire other families to do the same.
All smiles on arriving at Hamilton Island.
Travelling with a toddler was a lot easier than I had imagined. We flew in from Melbourne and the flight was just a little over two hours. Once we arrived on the island, there was a shuttle bus waiting for us and we went straight to our hotel for check-in. This meant we were able to get outdoors for some playtime at the beach almost immediately.
Going for a stroll at Catseye Beach.
Once we arrived on the island we had a short wait while our luggage was unloaded, then there was a courtesy bus waiting to transfer us to our accommodation (the transfer is provided when staying at Reef View Hotel). Once on the bus we sat up the front and chatted to the friendly driver who gave us a great introduction to the island as we drove along – it was a great, stress-free start to our holiday and the kids loved riding in the bus!
My daughter and I spent a lot of time at the beach. We loved the turquoise waters and played at Catseye Beach every day. We also visited the wild life park- twice! On one occasion we were able to have breakfast with a koala sleeping in a tree right above our table - it was magical! We also watched sunsets from One Tree Hill as a family.
Taking in the sunset on One Tree Hill.
We were surprised by how much there was to see and do on the island. There were heaps of things to keep our little ones entertained and we checked the App every day to see what was on offer.
We spent a fair bit of time at the Resort Centre. Here we found a range of different games for kids and our favorite activity was the jumping castle.
We also did 18 holes of mini golf, went bowling, tried our hands at the driving range, visited the wild life park and of course we went swimming! The large range of water sports equipment at the beach (which was complimentary for us to use as guests of the Reef View Hotel) was also great.
Putting like a pro at mini golf.
On our first full day on the island we hired a golf buggy (for three hours). This was a good amount of time for us to explore, get our bearings and enjoy the novelty of zipping around in a cute set of wheels. The kids thought it was great and with all that fresh air, Ziggy managed to have his morning sleep in his car seat!
Family drive taking in the sights of the island.
We all loved the breakfast with the koalas (which was included in our accommodation) and we also did the tour at WILD LIFE Hamilton Island. The kids loved McCulloch, the huge crocodile, who came right up close to the glass of his enclosure to say hello. They also loved the talking cockatoo, the baby koala and the wallaby joey. We visited the wild life park a few times, as once you pay the entry fee you are able to visit as much as you like, which is great for families.
Remember... Never smile at a crocodile!
Exploring the beach at low tide was something else we loved to do. To our delight we found that in the shallows there were sea snails and hermit crabs. As such, a lot of our time was spent with the kids happily playing at low tide on Catseye Beach. We also swam in the Resort Centre pool and bought a mocktail from the swim-up bar to share with the kids, which was a fun treat!
Hunting for treasures on Catseye Beach.
We did a half-day tour to Whitehaven Beach and we loved the chance to share this amazing location with our daughter. She loved playing in the sand and it was a fun, family activity.
Hands down, our tour to Reef World was the highlight of our trip. This tour gives you the chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, both from above and below the water. We loved having the chance to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and search for Nemo with our little girl!
Getting ready for an adventure to the Great Barrier Reef.
You get to see the reef from a semi-submarine on this tour. From the semi-submarine's underwater viewing chamber, we could view marine life and my little girl thought she saw a mermaid/merman (alas, it was just her dad swimming by saying hello!).

We were lucky enough to be travelling with my parents who baby-sat our six-month-old back on Hamilton Island (we decided it was going to be too long of a day for her to come with us). If my parents hadn't been available, we could have arranged babysitting or the Clownfish Club.
We went on Reef Ryder- Two In One, which was a short, three-hour tour that took us to Chalkies Beach for a snorkel and then across the bay to Whitehaven Beach. The kids loved the boat ride and sat on our laps. The hum of the engine put our one-year-old Ziggy to sleep on the way there and then again on our way back! Once on the beach the kids enjoyed exploring the island, playing in the sand and splashing in the shallows of the water, while us adults took turns snorkelling and swimming. We packed some snacks and found a shady spot under a tree. There we had a picnic on Whitehaven Beach, which was a lovely spot to relax.
Playtime on the pristine white sands of Whitehaven Beach.
We tried almost every restaurant on the island. Our favorite places were Romano's and coca chu. We found both to be very family friendly. And we loved having holiday ice-creams down on Front Street!
No holiday is complete without at least one ice cream!
Indyana, our three-year-old, is extremely fussy but to our relief, we were able to find her something on the kids' menu at each place we visited. The restaurant we really enjoyed was Mantra Ray; it served great pizzas and café-style food. Everything was so yummy and fresh.
Something for the whole family at Manta Ray.
We were very impressed with our dining experiences on the island. We went to TAKO, Sails, the Reef View Hotel and coca chu for our dinners. Our young children are generally starving by 5pm, so we were always the first to arrive at the restaurants when they opened their doors at 5.30pm. We loved the 'kids stay and eat free' inclusion that came with our accommodation. We also enjoyed fish and chips on Front Street for lunch, and having breakfast with the koalas is a must-do for everyone!
Picnics in the sun at the marina.
We had a Coral Sea View Room and we loved looking out each morning to those breath-taking views of the ocean. It was a completely unforgettable experience. We found the room size was perfect for our family of four and the large sized bathroom, with bath, was great for the kids.
The spacious room at Reef View Hotel.
We had a wonderful suite with a beautiful view of the Coral Sea. There was plenty of room for a travel cot and room to move around.
Morning visit from the local cockatoos.
The hotel was great. The room was big enough for a cot, alongside the two queen-sized beds. The bathroom had a bath, which was useful. The glass lifts were also a hit with the kids, as were the friendly cockatoos that came to visit! The breakfast buffet was very good as well.
We loved exploring the island on foot. It is great that there are next to no cars on Hamilton Island - this made walking around feel much safer.
Walking along the path at Catseye Beach.
We used three modes of transport. There was the free shuttle bus service, golf buggy hire (with child car-seats included for free) and our own legs. We walked a lot, as places like the marina are only a 15-minute walk from the Reef View Hotel.
Hiring a golf buggy was also a good idea. We used it to explore parts of the island that would have been too far for us to walk to with the girls. On our little adventure around the island we stumbled across the duck pond, which the girls loved.
The girls say hello to the resident ducks.
We hired our golf buggy for three hours and explored the island. We also loved the free shuttle bus and found it easily fit our pram. We also found it was straightforward to walk to the beach and Front Street from the hotel.

It was so nice to enjoy the calm and peaceful island life. We have lovely memories with our little girl from our time spent in paradise. The best way to describe our trip was relaxing.
Time to build sandcastles at Whitehaven Beach.
Having travelled to Hamilton Island before children, it was nice to come back and create new memories with our kids. We will return to the island again, (and hopefully soon!) as we found it perfect for our family.
It's all in the swing!
As a travelling family we have been to a lot of destinations and stayed in a wide range of accommodation options. We were very impressed with our time on Hamilton Island. With the layout of the island, the free shuttle bus, the 'kids stay and eat for free' inclusion, all the beautiful swimming pools, beach and wild life experiences, we had a wonderful time and were never without something to do. We would have liked an extra day or two, as we wanted to enjoy some of the island's walks… but we will just have to come back again soon!
Last swim at Catseye Beach before heading home.
Download the Hamilton Island App- it will help you book dinner, find out what activities are on each day and the map of the island is a great tool.
Take advantage of the "kids stay and eat for free" inclusion built-in to many of the accommodation packages. With plenty of places to dine, it is cost effective and simplifies dinnertime.
The Tour Desk is there to help. They will assist you to find the best excursion for your family's needs. Get in contact with them before you travel and lock in a fantastic experience.
Don't forget that the Clownfish Club is available for your childcare and babysitting needs. Leave your little ones in experienced, trusted hands and enjoy some precious, childfree time on Hamilton Island or away on a tour.
Don't want to lug your whole house with you? You can hire some items like prams for as little $15 a day. Phone (07) 4946 8941 to make a booking and see what is available for hire.
If you'd like us to go one step further and arrange provisions, the comforts of your nursery and the best accommodation for your young family then booking a "Baby's first holiday" package is the way to go. Let us take over the planning and organisation – so all you need to do is enjoy your down time.
If you do hire a golf buggy make sure you put down the ages of your children on the booking form, (for under four-years-old) so the right car seats can be fitted and available for you.
If you leave something at home the IGA Supermarket will have you covered for toiletries, snacks and those baby bag essentials (yes, we have baby wipes!).
Need to keep the kids busy in between activities? There is a kids' playground behind the main pool near coca chu for playtime fun.
A family holiday is a great time to capture memories and Hamilton Island Photography is on hand to take a family portrait while you're all in holiday mode.


Our Coil on Plug (CoP) kit is an aftermarket upgrade that allows you to install ignition coils directly on top of the spark plug.
Our Coil on Plug (CoP) kit is an aftermarket upgrade that allows you to install ignition coils directly on top of the spark plug. While the M42 and M44 engines use multiple individual coils (albeit on later engines in a single coil pack), all other BMW engines of this and future generations utilise a factory COP solution. All our CoP plates are precision cut and feature a threaded insert for each individual coil mount. Due to popular demand, our CoP plate now comes complete with the loom plug bracket.
Installing a CoP conversion gives your car a cleaner, simpler engine bay that allows more access room and helps to create space to fit a turbo charger or similar. It also eliminates lengthy and unsightly spark plug wires, and removes multiple points of failure in the ignition system. Many owners report improved throttle response and a smoother idle.
This kit does not include the 4 ignition coils. The BMW part number for these coils is 1 748 017 and can be sourced either new or used on eBay from around £5 each.
Wiring loom built to order please allow 10 working days.

Careers General Colorado Center Information Independence Training Program Senior Programs
Still Thick as Thieves, These CCB Alumni Reunite, Tell Their Stories & Offer Wise Counsel to Students
No Comments on Still Thick as Thieves, These CCB Alumni Reunite, Tell Their Stories & Offer Wise Counsel to Students
Let there be no doubt – students at the Colorado Center for the Blind form lifelong friendships. Monday, three such friends reunited at the center Kathy Kudlick, Bill Lundgren and Anahit LaBarre. They are shown above standing in front of our tactile CCB logo, left to right, Anahit, Kathy, Bill and Director Julie Deden
All three were students at the same time, in fact, they began arriving shortly after our move to Littleton in August, 2000.
Kathy was first in October of that year. A professor of French History at the University of California-Davis at the time, she came ready to at last embrace her identity as a blind person. Today, she is Director of the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University.
A psychotherapist, Bill came in November of 2000 from Philadelphia. He was not just at a transitional moment with the progress of his vision loss, but also in his life. After graduating in 2001, Bill made a fresh start when he opened a new psychotherapy practice in Denver. He's still practicing.
Anahit LaBarre came to Littleton in January of 2001 as an international student from Armenia. She had finished college an been successfully employed as a blind person in Armenia, yet she felt further opportunities were very limited. Anahit wasn't named LaBarre when she came to CCB. That came later, when she married Scott LaBarre. They have two children. Anahit has worked part-time with the Seniors' program at CCB for many years. This year, as her two teenagers move into high school, Anahit has simultaneously increased her hours of work and started a Master's Degree program to become a teacher for blind kids.
The three of them talked to our current students and staff during Philosophy class on Monday, offering advice and answering questions. The clear takeaway: Embrace this momement that is your training at CCB, and the friends you are making here, the friends you go through so much with, the friends you grow with for 6 to 9 months. For Kathy, Bill and Anahit, that moment of their training occurred 18 years ago now, but they've been reaping the benefits ever since.

It would totally ruin Taco Tuesdays if you reached into your bag of delicious shredded cheese and it had all congealed into a giant yellow-orange clump. But that never happens! Ever wonder why? Food companies add wood pulp, that's why.
Wood pulp—or cellulose, to be exact—is made from grinding out wood and other plant matter. You eat it all the time, probably! It's dumped into all sorts of dairy products because it's a cheap replacement for other, non-wood ingredients, aside from keep cheese slivers from clumping together, FoodRenegade reports.
The state of our food is scary to me. I quit eating most cheddar cheese after i found out why it's orange and it shouldn't be. I buy other natural cheeses (in block form). This is gross!

Lufthansa secures EUR 9m bailout from Germany
Reuters has reported Lufthansa has received an EUR 9m bailout from Germany, with an agreement to give Berlin a veto in the event of a hostile bid for the airline, the news source said.
The largest German corporate rescue since the coronavirus crisis struck will see the government get a 20% stake, which could rise to 25% plus one share in the event of a takeover attempt, as it seeks to protect thousands of jobs.
Lufthansa has been locked in talks with Berlin for weeks over aid it needs to survive an expected protracted travel slump, with the airline wrangling over how much control to yield in return for financial support.
Germany´s Finance and Economy Ministries said on Monday that Lufthansa, whose shares closed up 7.5% at EUR 8.64, had been operationally healthy and profitable with good prospects, but had run into trouble because of the pandemic.
Germany is buying new shares at the nominal value of EUR 2.56 apiece for a total of about EUR 300 million.
Berlin, which has set up aN EUR 100 billion fund to take stakes in companies struck by the coronavirus crisis, said it plans to sell the Lufthansa stake by the end of 2023.
Conditions of the deal include the waiver of future dividend payments and limits on management pay, Lufthansa said, adding that the government will also fill two seats on its supervisory board, with one becoming a member of the audit committee.

By Dan Slentz ⋅
The following terms appear in Dan Slentz's eBook article about building an LPFM. They are explained in only basic terms here for readers who may not be familiar with them. Detailed definitions can be found via numerous online resources.
STUDIO TECH RACK TERMS
AoIP or Audio over Internet Protocol — Similar to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol in telephone systems), Audio over Internet Protocol is the latest in audio board technologies, where digital uncompressed audio is delivery over a single Cat-5e/6 cable between studios and gear. The audio characteristics are of full CD quality and noise/interference are better rejected by twisted pair audio than traditional wiring. Additionally (and unlike AES digital audio or balanced analog audio), control of equipment can be made through the AoIP interface, and cable and connectors (RJ-45) are both less expensive than traditional wiring.
Cat-5e / Cat-6 — This is the cabling use for computer connections (including AoIP). Cat-5 is the older standard that is steadily being replace by Cat-5e and/or Cat-6. Though 5e or 6 cable can be used for video (with the use of baluns) or telephone, it's most frequently used in computer connections or for data.
Mix-Minus — The ability to give a phone caller who is on-the-air the sound out of the audio console (the "mix) minus their own voice (the "minus"). Without this ability, you would create a "loop of sound" (callers voice to board to caller to board to caller… etc.) creating a feedback loop.
Remote Broadcasts — Having a remote audio origination point other than your studio. This could be coverage of a high school football game to a broadcast from an event like a county fair or festival.
RJ-11, RJ-12, R-J45 — These are the "Registered Jacks" for phone and computer. The RJ-11 and RJ-12 (4 and 6 wire) are typically used for telephone connections while the RJ-45 (8 wire) is typically used for connecting computers and in AoIP connections.
RPU or Remote Production Unit (or Radio Propagation or Programming Unit) — This is a system for remote broadcasting where a wireless transmitter (licensed) sends audio back to the station for live remote broadcasting. Over the past years, this gear has often been replaced with cell phone technology, streaming, and digital audio interfaces (or a combination)
STL or Studio to Transmitter Link — A system, traditionally licensed over-the-air wireless, used to get audio from your studio to remote transmitter location
Stream Encoder/Decoder — Instead of traditional STLs, many stations have gone to digital stream encoders using wireless systems and wired broadband (like DSL or cable modem) to get their audio from the studio to transmitter site, plus to remotely control the transmitter site gear.
TSL or Transmitter to Studio Link — Sometimes it is necessary to get return audio to the station from the transmitter site (for instance, when you have a RPU unit on your tower), this traditionally was another piece of wireless gear.
TRANSMITTER CHAIN TERMS
Antenna or FM Transmitting Antenna — This is the entire fixture that makes up your antenna. It could consist of one or many "bays." Each bay adds to the antenna's effectiveness in extending signal reach.
Audio Logger — A piece of gear (from tape-based cassette to digital recorder) used for recording your on-air programming. It can be used to prove (if questioned about content later) what was played or said on the air. The logger can be set-up to just record times when the microphone is open (turned on), or all audio. Typically the logger audio quality (when recording ALL content) is a lower-resolution version so it doesn't use up as much hard drive space.
Bay or Antenna Bay — In reference to an antenna, this is one of the "elements" or parts that make up the entire antenna. The antenna could have a single bay (which looks like a V-shaped pipe, a T-shaped pipe, or a C-shape with a twist pipe), or it could have numerous bays. The more bays, the more gain, plus greater cost and heavier weight on the tower. But the more bays, the less power (TPO) your transmitter will need to put out to hit your effective radiated power (ERP)
Back-up Audio Source — For any number of reasons, your transmitter could lose the incoming audio (even if the transmitter is located at your station). Power could go out in your studio. Your automation could fail. The audio board power supply could go out. And for a remotely located transmitter, losing your STL or audio stream to the transmitter is always a possibility. When this happens, there is equipment that can quickly replace that lost audio with "back-up audio". Some transmitters now include internal audio players for loss of incoming audio.
Coax — Line carrying the signal from your transmitter to antenna. Minimum for an LPFM would be half-inch (diameter); the smaller the size, the more line loss but the lower the cost.
EAS / CAP or Emergency Alert System & Common Alerting Protocol — LPFMs are required only to have the decoder in place for rebroadcast of emergency alert announcements.
ERP or Effective Radiate Power — The power with which the station is authorized to broadcast. This is NOT the transmitter power, rather the power that is generated when you factor in additional elements such as line loss, antenna gain and height above average terrain (HAAT).
FCC or Federal Communications Commission — The government agency that oversees broadcasting and electronic communication. At the direction of Congress, it set out the rules and system that allowed the expansion of the LPFM service.
Fold Back — Expression to indicate a transmitter is lowering its power automatically. This is done if it sees a high VSWR or there is another problem affecting the transmitter.
HAAT or Height Above Average Terrain — This is the center of our antenna above the average terrain. This is not simply where the antenna sits in relation to the ground below the tower, but the height above the terrain when it is averaged for the entire area.
Line Loss — The amount of power or signal your coax cable loses naturally over the length of the cable being used.
LPFM — Low-power FM is a "community class" of broadcaster. Currently LPFMs are licensed with an ERP of 100 watts. A prospect for even a lower (10 watt) version is apparently no longer being considered, though a higher-power version (LPFM 250) at 250 watts has been debated.
kW or Kilowatt — A measurement of power. For instance, in radio a transmitter that is 1,000 Watts can also be said to operate at 1 kW. The prefix "kilo" means one thousand.
RDS or RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data Service — This is auxiliary data that your transmitter can put out (via a subcarrier or "SCA") that includes program information accessible by new RBDS equipped radios. That data might include your format, song title and artist, and other information. It can be as simple as a static display of your call letters and slog, or more involved with data that changes.
RF or Radio Frequency — This is the invisible power through the air that IS the signal that the consumer's antenna received that carries our signal.
RPU or Remote Pickup Unit — Like the STL, this is the expression for the licensed gear (transmitter/receiver) that has frequently been used for "live remote broadcasting." The traditional radio RPU required a special radio (in a van or portable), antenna, line-of-site between the remote transmitter and receiving system (usually on a tower at the station or on the station's main broadcast tower. The audio from the RPU would then be fed to the on-air console. These could be used for news, sports programming, or any place from where the station wanted to do a remote broadcast. More recently traditional RPUs have been replaced by stream encoders and cellular systems.
SCA, Subcarriers or Subsidiary Communications Authority — This can be an additional "service" or feature that you broadcast through your FM transmitter. Services like background music and reading services for the blind, which rely on specialized radios — as well as RDS data to display song title/artist on RDS-equipped radios — are generated via "SCAs." No special licenses are needed for these services and they allow for greater audio modulation levels on your primary service (see above) up to 110 percent modulation.
STL or Studio to Transmitter Link — When a transmitter is located at an area away from the studio, the traditional piece of equipment that "privately" sends your signal from the studio to transmitter is referred to as the station's STL. These can be expensive and require special licensing. Stations now sometimes use special private stream encoding systems in place of traditional STL.
TPO or Total Power Output — The actual power that transmitter is emitting. If measured, this would be directly at the output of the transmitter. This is NOT the power we are licensed for, rather the power the transmitter must operate to reach our licensed power, which is called ERP, or Effective Radiated Power.
VSWR / VSR or Variable Standing Wave Ratio — The amount of power reflected back into the transmitter either by natural elements like freezing rain or by antenna or coax failure. VSWR can be damaging to the transmitter.

Look Her in the Eye, Don't Let Her 'Fall'
By Mercedes Lawry
A couple of months ago, I was sent a poem written by Danielle, an 11-year-old in foster care. In her words, "There was once a tree full of apples which was my family. Then one day I fell off. Some grownups came and put me in a pear tree. Then I fell off "
I was swept away by the power of that simple metaphor, a child's interpretation of uncertainty and loss.
For nine years I've worked for The National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), a national organization of trained volunteers who speak up for abused and neglected children. The goal is to give those kids a chance to grow up in safe, permanent homes. I've learned a lot of troubling information about how "the system" operates. I've amassed staggering statistics about children who have been harmed. I've read news reports and watched videos that have literally left me sobbing.
I recall my attempts, as I was growing up and starting to figure out the way the world worked, to make sense of what I could lump into the category of evil. I'd read about slavery and the Holocaust and tried to wrap my mind around these horrors. It seemed as if it should be so easy to correct these wrongs with knowledge, that such perpetrators were ignorant and misguided, that there was a solution.
Now I know more about human behavior, psychosis, inter-generational abuse, and a host of other explanations. Now I know there are no easy solutions, that it's all more complex than most people realize. But what has stayed with me through these years - a sort of touchstone as I argue policies and fight for resources - is the same thing that keeps our volunteers so impassioned and committed: the individual child.
I'm talking about what the child feels and thinks, how she has dealt with abuse, sorrows, and heartbreak at being separated from brothers and sisters. I'm talking about the child's hopes for the future and need to be safe in a loving home.
From my formerly naive perspective, I believed that if anyone - governor, judge, social worker, senator - could look into the eyes of one of these children, they would fight like anything to obtain what was best for that child. The fact that it is not easy - there's not enough time, money, training - doesn't mean despair and frustration are the only possible responses.
At a recent meeting, an Arkansas judge made the point that our work on behalf of these children must be a sustained effort.
The word "sustained" resonated with me. A once-a-year donation of a toy, or an annual contribution because it's April, Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, are not enough. The effort must move forward day in and day out. It has to be persevering. It has to refuse to be dissuaded. It has to be shared by all of us. So a little bit of extra attention may be paid to abused kids in April, to remind people that more than half a million children live in foster care, most abused or neglected by people who are supposed to love them.
I've found that those kids are pretty much invisible to the general public. Yet I still believe that if ordinary people could listen to these children, hear their stories and look into their faces, they would take that next step and act.
There are dozens of ways you can help move those kids toward safe, loving homes. You don't have to tackle the whole complex problem; you can make a profound difference in the life of one child.
Is Danielle going to find a permanent home before her childhood is over? At the end of her poem, she says, "It's up to you." I can't think of a more eloquent way to state the truth.

Les Sklèroï sont une famille byzantine apparentés à la dynastie macédonienne. Cette famille resta proche du trône, mais n'y accéda jamais.

Histoire

Le premier Skleros apparaît dans les sources en 805, à propos de la soumission des Slaves du Péloponnèse, en tant « Skleros de Petite-Arménie » (c'est-à-dire l'ouest de l'Arménie, sous autorité byzantine) dans la chronique du port de Monemvasie (port connu en français sous le nom de Malvoisie), mention unique et limitée, mais indiquant une relative renommée.

En 811, le « scripteur inconnu » nous parle d'un certain Léon Skléros, stratège du thème du Péloponnèse, vraisemblablement différent du premier, et qui a servi l'empereur Michel Ier Rhangabé de 811 a 813, marié avec une Irène et père d'une Eufrosyne Sklerina, nonne en 823. On croise ensuite un « Sklèros » parmi les aides de l'émir de Mélitène (sud Arménie), sûrement une autre branche de cette famille arménienne. Un autre Sklèros, peut-être fils de Léon, était stratège en 838. Au , un lac d'Iconion est désigné sous le nom de « lac Skleroï » indiquant l'importance de la parentèle dans la région. Un Théodore Sklèros était magistre peut-être en 869. Un Nicétas Skléros est mentionné dans une ambassade envoyée chez les Hongrois, à la fin du , désigné comme un « patrice » en 894, haute dignité attribuée aux stratèges des plus grands thèmes.

 du  parlent d'un Sklèros nommé « Bandir », c'est-à-dire arabisation du nom grec Pantherios. Ce nom rare est aussi celui du domestique des Scholes sous Romain Lécapène. Sa femme, Gregoria, serait apparentée à la dynastie macédonienne.

Le plus important membre de la famille est Bardas Sklèros, vraisemblablement le fils du précédent, et beau-frère de Jean Tzimiskès. Lorsqu'il fait son coup d'État, en 969, Bardas devient « magiste », et est général de tout l'Orient. Après s'être illustré dans la lutte contre les Russes, il aide Tzimiskès à faire échouer la tentative de coup d'État de Bardas Phokas.

La chronique de Jean Skylitzès, très lacunaire, fait ensuite mention d'une tentative de soulèvement de Bardas Sklèros. Rétrogradé au poste de duc de Mésopotamie à la mort de Tzimiskès, il tente un nouveau coup d'État, avec l'aide des Alyatès (grande aristocratie), des Bourtis et des Taronites (aristocratie secondaire), autres dynasties arméniennes. Malgré son échec, il parvient à négocier avec Basile II pour préserver le rang de sa famille.

C'est à la même époque que Théophano Skléraïna, fille d'un Skléros et d'une Phokas (« Phokeïna »), et par ailleurs nièce de Tzimiskès, épouse l'empereur d'Occident Otton II. Ce mariage est largement dû à la politique de l'ambassadeur Liutprand de Crémone.

L'étude des sceaux des Skleroï indique qu'ils continuent d'exercer de hautes charges au  (stratège d'Anatolie…). La Peira, un traité de jurisprudence, fait également mention d'un procès entre deux cousins Skleroï avec de fortes sommes en jeu (dont une charistikè — donation d'un monastère à un laïc — de 62 000 pièces d'or). On note toutefois qu'ils ont abandonné les fonctions militaires pour les fonctions civiles basées à Constantinople, plus rémunératrices. Basile Sklèros est alors un membre actif de sa famille, connu pour les différends qu'il a eus avec Constantin VIII puis Romain III Argyre, dont il épouse la sœur mais complote néanmoins contre lui.

On trouve ainsi auprès de Constantin IX Monomaque un favori nommé Romain Skléros, grâce à sa sœur Pulchérie, maîtresse de l'empereur, qui lui obtient le poste de stratège d'Asie Mineure (où il provoque, par ses abus, la révolte de Georges Maniakès). Sans exploit militaire particulier, il a obtenu le titre de « proèdre ». Disgracié sous Michel VI, il soutient le soulèvement des Comnène, ce qui lui permet d'obtenir le titre de « curopalate ». Son descendant Andronic Skléros, est même, d'après les archives du mont Athos, devenu « sébaste », titre désignant les parents de l'Empereur.

À partir du , les Skleroï semblent avoir perdu la faveur impériale et, n'ayant plus de fonctions militaires pour se refaire, ils passent au second rang de l'aristocratie de Constantinople (contrairement aux Macédoniens, les Comnène ont revalorisé les fonctions militaires face aux fonctions administratives. Cependant, on retrouve de temps à autre le nom Skleros dans des poèmes de cour mentionnant des mariages entre oikoï aristocratiques mineurs.

S'ils disparaissent totalement des sources après 1204, le nom de Skléros réapparaît deux fois, sous les Paléologue, dans des correspondances évoquant de petits agents de l'État (gramatikoï…).

Famille byzantine
Famille noble byzantine du haut Moyen Âge


Award-winning highway contractor Dickerson Florida Inc. left its comfort zone when it cleaned up a reservoir that supplies the Everglades – and 8.1 million thirsty Florida residents – with fresh water. The worksite was remote, partially submerged, and home to a whole lot of alligators. With the help of Caterpillar technologies and the support of Cat® dealer Kelly Tractor, Dickerson finished the complex job weeks ahead of schedule.
There are an estimated 1.2 million alligators living in Florida's innumerable marshes, swamps, rivers and lakes. The hard-hat wearing divers working underwater for Cat customer Dickerson Florida Inc. on a canal job just north of here tried very hard every day not to think about that number as they waded into the deep, murky depths.
The $8.9 million slope stabilization project was part of the South Florida Water Management District's ongoing effort to clean up Lake Okeechobee, the source of fresh water for 8.1 million Florida residents and the sensitive Everglades ecosystem.
Years of use, and damage inflicted in 2005 by Hurricane Wilma, had badly eroded the 60-year-old canal's banks. The deterioration complicated efforts to move workers and material onto the bank to maintain the canal and – more importantly – it hurt water quality in Lake Okeechobee.
"When the banks erode like that, you deposit silt in the water," says Howard Searcy, the South Florida Water Management District project manager who supervised Dickerson's work on the canal.
Previous efforts to stabilize the canal banks had attempted to re-establish the original shape of the waterway by backfilling the eroded slopes. But that approach was controversial because it required putting dirt in the canal water, compounding the murkiness officials sought to eliminate.
Working with the South Florida Water Management District, Dickerson, which had a long and award-winning track record as a road builder but was new to canal bank restoration, devised a novel approach to the problem.
Rather than try to restore the canal's original contours, Dickerson reshaped the canal to conform to its eroded condition, making it wider and more useful during floods.
The work was tricky. The job site remote.
One-third of the 12-miles of canal bank Dickerson needed to regrade were completely underwater – and home to many curious, carnivorous alligators.
Divers would ultimately need to enter the water to install and secure turf-reinforcement mats on this extensive underwater portion of the job. And inspectors in diving suits would follow to make sure Dickerson performed the underwater worked to contract specifications.
The operators of the four hydraulic excavators doing the actual re-grading work faced a big challenge, too. They needed to "see underwater," according to Larry Dale, the president of Dickerson Florida.
The solution: Caterpillar's GPS-powered AccuGrade™ technology, which allowed the excavator operators to maintain consistent, to-spec grade even when they were working below the waterline and couldn't see what they were doing. Combining digital design data, in-cab operator guidance features, and automatic bucket control, Cat AccuGrade Grade Control System allowed Dickerson to get it right the first time and to finish the 14-month job a month ahead of schedule.
"One more thing that made the job as successful as it was, was the GPS equipment that we had on the Cat equipment," Dale says.
It also minimized the number of times inspectors had to re-enter the dangerous waters.
Jim Heimer, Dickerson's equipment manager, says Cat dealer Kelly Tractor's preventive maintenance monitoring of Dickerson's equipment on the job using Cat Product Link™ technology also contributed to the project's success.
Highway contractor Dickerson Florida Inc. relied on Cat® AccuGrade™ technology to "see" underwater, where 30 percent of the grading work needed to be done, and to dramatically reducing surveying and staking costs on land.

Woman who killed girl, 8, moved from prison to 'healing lodge' with no walls where children can visit
Lucy MiddletonFriday 5 Oct 2018 12:58 pm
A convicted killer who murdered an eight-year-old girl has sparked outrage in Canada after she was transferred from prison to a 'healing lodge' with no walls.
Terri-Lynne McClintic, 28, kidnapped and murdered Ontario schoolgirl Victoria 'Tori' Stafford with her then partner, Michael Rafferty, in 2009.
The pair lured the youngster into their vehicle and drove her 100 kilometres north, where she was repeatedly raped by Rafferty and then killed with a claw hammer.
Terri-Lynne McClintic has been moved to a healing lodge for the rest of her life sentence (Picture: Police handout)
McClintic was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2010 with no parole for 25 years.
'Thief battered woman then made her and daughter clean up the blood afterwards'
Now Tori's family have been left furious after McClintic was transferred to Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge, in Saskatchewan, in September.
The institution is managed by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) and is listed as medium-security institution for women.
The CSC runs an institutional mother-child program, meaning that children younger than school age could also be inside the facility living with their incarcerated mothers.
Tori Stafford was murdered by McClintic and her then partner Michael Rafferty, in 2009 (Picture: Stafford family)
Older children are also permitted to visit the facility, where 'teachings, ceremonies, and workshops' take place.
'She's in a healing lodge with no walls, no bars, and with children living inside,' Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said in a party campaign against the decision.
'It's absolutely reprehensible that a child killer is living alongside children.
'Terri-Lynne McClintic belongs behind bars.'
Rafferty repeatedly raped Tori before killing her and hiding her body (Picture: Police handout)
The CSC told the National Post that they could not say how many children are currently residing at Okimaw Ohci.

Inmates have also been known to escape from healing lodges, with the publication stating that a total of 18 people had managed to break free between 2011 and 2016.
Tori's family have since spoken out about their anger at the transfer in hopes that it will be overturned.
'I was very upset because the magnitude of this crime, somebody like that should not be warranted a free pass,' Tori's father Rodney Stafford told CBC News.
The father of Tori, Rodney Stafford, has called the prison transfer a 'free pass' (Picture: Reuters)
'She's there for a conviction. She should be in a maximum security prison serving a life sentence.
'She shouldn't get any privileges. If she needs a doctor or a dentist then bring them into the facility.'

Healing lodges are intended to address the high rate of Indigenous incarceration in Canada, where they make up approximately 25% of male prisoners and 36% of women.
However, those who live there do not have to be indigenous and it is unclear whether McClintic falls into this category.
Okimaw Ohci was built in 1995 and was the first of the nine healing lodges in the country.

Once again, Todd McLellan is making it clear that he isn't remotely inclined to take his time with training camp decisions. Just one day after the Oilers knocked seven names off their roster, McLellan axed an additional eight players from consideration.
#Oilers assign Ben Betker, Greg Chase, Braden Christoffer, Josh Currie, Ryan Hamilton, Kyle Platzer & Patrick Russell to @Condors.
The #Oilers have also released Ryan Vesce from his PTO.
Betker's departure isn't even a little bit surprising. The sole defenceman cut today spent most of last season in the ECHL and wasn't in competition for NHL employment. If there's any surprise on the blue line, it's merely that Joey LaLeggia didn't get shipped out with him.
Tyler Benson's young and hurt and will be back in junior at some point, while Josh Currie, Kyle Platzer, Ryan Hamilton, Braden Christoffer, Mitch Moroz, Patrick Russell and Greg Chase have to be seen as being AHL-bound.
Of the eight names on my list of expendable forwards, six were cut today. Benson survives, but that likely has to do more with his injury situation than anything else.
The real exception is Mitch Moroz, who has earned positive reviews for his performance early in training camp. Moroz did make positive steps in the AHL last year and while he's still not much of a scorer he does bring some unique qualities to the Oilers organization. Likely this is only a temporary reprieve, but it does seem to suggest that the coaches see something there.
On the other side of things, the early departure for Vesce is a bit of a surprise. Lowetide had a nice piece on the player on this site yesterday, and he had history with McLellan. Vesce was in an odd position because of his age (34) but showed last year in the KHL that he's still a competent scorer in a tough league. I wonder to what degree this decision was simply a matter of not stringing the player along when there isn't going to be a place for him on the 50-man list.
With a handful of exceptions, the players left in camp are ones that we can imagine finding their way into the NHL at some point this year. Yesterday we were a dozen cuts away from the interesting names; now we're basically there.
Atta boy McClellan, let's get down to business and get off to a good start!
That's to bad about Ryan Vesce.
If you know he won't make it, get it done and cut him loose.
I like Todd getting to the players he wants and getting them ready.
I'm pleased to see Mitch Moroz fighting for a spot. A lot of bloggers have gone on and on about how he was a bad pick. Maybe he was picked too high, but the reality is, outside top first rounders, the most that the bulk of draft forward picks can aspire too is the third line, more likely the fourth. Moroz is built for that type of energy / agitator role.
BREAKING: Connor McDavid survives another round of cuts. FOR NOW.
So refreshing to see this approach. I would have fought hard and lost the battle to not stick a fork in my eye if I had to witness another Eakins-like approach to pre-season.
I don't get why they kept Moroz. Positive camp or not, who's he seriously beating out? He's a 4th liner who played the left side. With McDavid most likely to be named captain, not a chance in hell Hendricks is getting cut. That's seriously who Moroz maybe one day has that spot.
On defense, I don't see the point in Laleggia being here. Same goes for Simpson or Musil. They all shoot left. They are behind Nurse, Reinhart and Oesterle. What are they here for? Even Mark Fraser, another left handed guy. Excluding Ference who's hurt if you slot in Gryba, they still have 14 Dmen for 7 spots. Klefbom, Larsson, Davidson and Sekera are givens. So there is 3 spots available and they have 10 guys for them? Seems excessive.
Don't overthink things. The reason they didn't cut these guys is because they want to see them a bit more. Maybe for another few practices and a game or two.
It doesn't mean they're auditioning them for an opening night spot on the NHL roster. They just want to know more so that they can make (hopefully!) better decisions in the future (e.g. injury callups, trades, contract renewals, etc.).
Klefbom, Sekera, Davidson, Nurse, Reinhart, Oesterle are all ahead of those guys on the left side. So realistically, Simpson, Musil, Laleggia and Fraser are 7, 8, 9, 10 on the detph chart. If you are having to dip into those guys this season, you are screwed.
yup, it's never a bad thing to see a little bit more from Moroz and LaLeggia before they get sent down, especially if this is the final year of their contract. and a whole lot of other players are all RFA's after this season like Simpson, Musil, Oesterle, Pitlick, Laurikainen and Khaira, and have a lot to prove this year if they want to be re-signed. this could be it for more than a few of them !
Until preseason is over they still need some players to slot in the lineup so they don't run their regulars too hard. None of the full time nhl'ers play a full preseason. It's not necessary and they want to preserve those guys for the regular season games.
First, they will Keep Moroz around to battle for Hendo's spot next season ( think about it MAN).
2nd you keep extra D around for the scrimmages in Practises during the preseason. If you have Extra Forwards you need EXTRA defence to balance Practice. COME ON MAN. Have you never attended a hockey team tryout before.
Next time if you Don't Know Hockey Shut up and Don't Post. You made your self look REALLY STUPID.
The poster wrote that he didn't understand something, so by posting he might better understand going forward. that's what comment sections are for. Your comments regarding balancing a tryout roster have merit, but the nastiness was not required.
You, sir, are out of line.
Pretty harsh man!! Hockey's not a religion to everyone and aren't informed about every detail. He didn't seem to be trolling or nasty so I'm not sure why you feel you need to come at someone like that…I think its you who actually looks stupid!!
Hockey is the Blood of Life.
the Savior McSexy and lead the true 1st tier fans to the promised land of the playoffs.
And us tier 2 fans will follow behind with our brooms sweeping up the poop.
Yes, yes you will, just remember the single ply goes to the upper concourse, the 4 ply to the Sportsnet Club seats and PCL Loge level. Because janitor might be your only way in HAHAHAHAHA.
It's called trade bait. Showcase their progression for possibly a later trade.
Remember when Eakins waited till the middle of October to finalize his roster.. oh what competent management looks like. Mcllean cut 15 players in a span of 24 hours.
Yeah, don't waste time on them and give them a chance to find a home somewhere else. Scout the talent quickly, TC isn't for development, it's for evaluation. Bakersfield is for development.
I know Betker had 0 chance of making the team, but I was pleasantly surprised by his progress. He looked fairly steady out there. If he continues to progress and has a good season, we might have an interesting prospect in him. That might just be me though.
Canucks drop 16 more players and are down to 44 bodies with 5 of those yet to return from the Worlds as yet . Looking at their roster tonight , you have to wonder how bad Vancouver might be this year .
Awesome! You have to impress at camp early on if you want to stay. Mac-TEakins seemed to let players work through training camp/pre season slumps which was ridiculous.
After watching the game last night I think Reinhart and Musil should have a race, with the loser leaving town. Do the Oilers scouts even look at skating when evaluating defense or do they just look at size and famous last names.
Reinhart got his doors blown off twice in a shift, once by offensive dynamo Derrick Dorsett. He looks like a 45 year old beer leaguer playing shiny with a bunch of 20 year old junior players, just zero mobility out there.
