The UNITED STATES gained the coveted Blue Riband for United States Lines on her maiden voyage in 1952. She was of 53,329 gross tons, 990 feet overall and powered by geared turbines operating quadruple screws. Her service speed was 29 knots. Passenger accommodation: 882 1st Class, 525 Cabin and 55 Tourist. She was laid up in 1969 and eventually bought by the United States Maritime Commission in 1973.

The AUSTRALIS (formerly the United States Line's AMERICA) was the flagship of the Chandris Line and was, in the 1970s, engaged in regular voyages between Britain and Australia via a 'round-the-world' route. She was originally built by Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Company as the AMERICA and designed specifically for the New York - Europe service of the United States Lines, the internal elegance and spaciousness of the great days of the North Atlantic sea travel were still retained aboard AUSTRALIS - the 'Australian Maiden'.
Completed in 1940, the AMERICA was the pride of the American merchant marine when the United States entered the Second World War but, for subsequent service as a troop ship, the vessel was renamed WEST POINT. Not until the end of hostilities, and after extensive refitting, was the AMERICA able to sail for the first time on the route for which she was planned. She was acquired by Chandris in 1964 and carried a maximum of 2,300 passengers in 761 fully air-conditioned cabins.

The FRANCE, above, of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique (French Line) 1961 - 1974, grt 66,350, length 1,035 feet. Builders were Chantiers et Ateliers de St. Nazaire. Steam turbines provided an average speed of 30 knots.
After completing her sea trials in 1961 the FRANCE inaugurated her Atlantic run from Southampton in January of 1962. The French Line and the United States Line agreed that the French ship and the United States Line should take it in turn to make a weekly sailing from New York to Europe, sharing the Atlantic ferry between them. This arrangement lasted from 1962 until the withdrawal of the UNITED STATES from service in October of 1969.
Interestingly, the FRANCE always operated at a loss. It began with 1 million pounds and reached 6 million pounds in 1973. According to one estimate every passenger was subsidised by the French government to the tune of 20 pounds a day. In 1974 she was withdrawn from service. On September 11th of 1974 members of the ship's company, protesting at her withdrawal, took her over as she approached LeHavre after leaving Southampton. The French Line cancelled her last three trips, due to have been made before her scheduled withdrawal on October 25th. The sudden protest by the crew hastened the end of her active career under the French flag.

Built as the MONTEREY for Matson Line in 1932 Chandris' BRITANIS was a remarkable vessel. She was, for some time, one of the most popular and relatively inexpensive cruise ships plying out of Miami and Montego Bay.
Her officers were Greek, her deck and engine crew mostly Goanese (many veterens of the P & O's glory days) and the concessional catering staff was 'international'.
Major design changes took place in 1956 as the MATSONIA and ultimately her Chandris refit in 1970 . The decor was pastiche of 'fifties' Matson Polynesian deco and Chandris Las Vegas which went tegether remarkably well! Maintenance remained good under Chandris although close inspection during a cruise in 1990 revealed many (re)coats of paint and perforations around both funnels. The ship's bridge was typically American and resembled that of a destroyer more than a liner with minimal brass and no woodwork
The following short text was provided by Carol Mavroidaki who sailed aboard BRITANIS and AMERIKANIS as a hairdresser.
"Hairdressing at sea was very different from ashore, much longer hours, no juniors to help shampoo & in those days we were always short of the products we needed. We resorted to using fabric softener as conditioner & beer as setting lotion! On Chandris Lines there were normally 3 of us in the salon on the Amerikanis because it was cruising & only 2 on Britanis when we were on the Australis run. Financially we did much better on Amerikanis because we had American passengers who tipped very well plus, I am sure, a bit extra because they loved our English accents! The passengers on the Britanis were what were called £10 Poms, British immigrants going to Australia to live, they couldn't afford to tip very well & then on the way home we got nothing as the Aussies & New Zealanders do not tip. We were always open in port when cruising so we had to take it in turns to go ashore. In fact we were always open, even Christmas day. We normally closed at about 8pm & then we had to go up to the shops & clean all their windows plus the glass display cases dotted around the ship! This really annoyed us, it was because it was beneath the shop boys to do such menial tasks, this was before equal opportunities of course!! Then we could go & eat. Somehow even with the clocks advancing almost every night going to Oz we still managed to party. It was great on Chandris lines as we had officer status & so were allowed to use the public rooms or more importantly the bars! A great life, very hard work but fun. Most of the friends I made I am still in touch with so it was a very special time in my life."
Towards the end of her long career it was said that Chandris engineers resorted to 'raiding' her laid up sister ELLINIS for parts and fittings. Her sister ship AMERIKANIS (ex Union-Castle) would often be seen in Montego Bay and was similarly maintained.
BRITANIS was a 'smart' ship to the end and although often surrounded in port by much more modern cruise liners she stood out as a very mature and 'grand old lady of the sea'.
Rather than suffer the 'indignity of being broken up piece by piece BRITANIS made her own decision one day while being towed to Pakistani breakers. She sank 50 miles off Capetown, October 21st. 2000.

Known as "The Ship Beautiful" the AQUITANIA, above, was built in 1914 for the Liverpool/New York service of the Cunard S/S Co. After only three round voyages she was requisitioned by the government for use as an armed merchant cruiser but it was decided that the employment of costly liners in this capacity was not practical. She was then converted for use as a troopship then as a hospital ship and again in 1916 as a troopship. Reconditioned and converted from coal to oil firing she resumed trans-Atlantic service in 1920 quickly becoming one of the most popular ships on the Atlantic. In 1939 she was again requisitioned as a troopship, a role she played until being released from government service in 1948. She was sold for demolition in 1950 arriving at Faslane in February and promptly broken up by Bisco Ltd.
AQUITANIA was the last of the four funnelled liners and the only major liner to service in both world wars.

The famous White Star Liner TITANIC, unfortunately, never had the chance to grow 'old' but should certainly be considered a 'lady' during her very brief career.
She is seen above departing on her ill-fated voyage from Southampton on April 10th, 1912.
Readers living in Belfast might like to visit the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum which has an extensive range of TITANIC postcards, posters and booklets on the topic.
No, this superb view below is not of the QUEEN MARY!
This grand old lady that had never received very much press during the last century is of the three-funnelled French Line's PARIS. She was built and launched by Chantiers et Ateliers de St. Nazaire on September 12th. 1916. The PARIS is seen here steaming majestically on her maiden voyage from LeHavre to New York in June, 1921 blowing her sirens and dipping her ensign to a passing CGT liner from which the photo was taken.
Sadly, during the evening of April 18th. 1939, while she was preparing to depart from LeHavre, fire broke out in the liner's bakery. She was eventually declared a constructive total loss.

Two of the USA's finest liners are seen below at New York in the 1950s - the AMERICA (in the foreground) and the ship that superceeded her as flagship of the US Merchant Marine, the UNITED STATES. The AMERICA did not have the speed of the UNITED STATES. Being shorter she would actually slow herself down. She was short in the bow and had to abe slowed down in foul weather.
The UNITED STATES arrived in July 1950 and was immediately popular but the smaller and slower AMERICA held her own for a number of years. Both magnificent ships became the victims of jet age travel as did all her colleagues on the North Atlantic

The building of the ACHILLE LAURO (originally WILLEM RUYS) of 23,112 grt was commenced in 1940. After the liberation November 2nd. 1944 the ship was found in slightly damaged condition and then completed on the 15th November 1947 by N.V. Koninklijke Maatschappij "DeSchelde", Vlissingen.
Official trials were conducted on the 20th November 1947 and her first voyage was to Batavia (now Djarkarta). She was sold on January 6th 1965 to Italy and re-christened ACHILLE LAURO.
Willem Ruys had been the senior of the Ruys brothers who owned the Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd. He was taken hostage by the Germans during the 1940-45 occupation and when a resistance group sabotaged a German project he was shot.
She was always readily distinguishable by her dominant blue and white colours and strangely tapered tall funnels. She is seen here at Istanbul.
Her brief history reads as if an arsonist was determined to destroy her. One would find it difficult to find another vessel so plagued by fire as this rather unique looking vessel.
In 1965 she was severely damaged by fire whilst in port in Palermo. In 1972 the bridge and some accommodation was also damaged by fire. This was followed in 1981 with yet another outbreak in which 3 passengers were killed during an evacuation. As if this wasn't enough for this 'fine lady' in 1985 she was boarded by Arabian terrorists in the Mediterranean during which an American passenger was killed. 1944 ushered in her final 'swan song' as she caught fire off Somalia enroute from Genoa to the Seychelles and finally sank on December 2nd.

The AMERIKANIS, 12,975 grt, of Chandris Lines below was a sister ship to the BRITANIS. She retained the familiar lines she held originally as the KENYA CASTLE built in 1952. (See Union-Castle). As with all Chandris Lines ships she was kept in pristine condition throughout her long life until competitive factors began to encrouch on her position within the fierce cruising world. Passenger accommodation was somewhat cramped and, as with BRITANIS, passengers demanded more than an inboard cabin with 'toilet & shower combined'.
Whilst laid up she was advertised widely as a possible candidate for an offshore casino boat but finally succumbed to the inevitable
The North Atlantic 'Great Liners' are usually thought of in terms of size and speed. However, many of the most innovative and influential ships have been of moderate dimensions. In 1951/2 Holland America Line introduced two ships unremarkable in size and speed yet, by virtue of their accommodation arrangement, revolutionary. By giving Tourist Class virtual 'run of the ship' the RYNDAM and MAASDAM were among the most influential and successful liners ever built.
The RYNDAM turned old conventions completely around with a token First Class for only 39 berths secluded on the boat deck which satisfied the two-class requirement of the Trans-Atlantic Passenger Steamship Conference.
As a point of interest, which was a quite dominant feature of these very successful ships, the funnel was a wafer thin Strombus design which was advertised as reducing wind resistance with the slipstream carrying away the smoke. Both ships were in the 15,000 grt category.
RYNDAM ultimately became the Epirotiki cruise ship ATLAS and MAASDAM as the last classic Atlantic liner - Polish Ocean Line's STEFAN BATORY.

The beautiful two funnelled NIEUW AMSTERDAM (36,667 grt) is seen below. As distinct from other smaller vessels of the line which had black hulls the NIEUW AMSTERDAM had a grey hull. Her routes varied but included, for the most part, Rotterdam, Havre, Southampton, New York with stops at Cobh and Halifax. She was built in 1938 and was the longest ship of the fleet at 759 feet and 88 feet wide having twin screws and was a steam turbine capable of an average speed of 21.5 knots.
Her speed was only marginally bettered by the ROTTERDAM. The latter being built in 1959 and had a gross tonnage of 38,645.
In March of 1922 the Swedish-Amerikan Line bought the Dutch liner NOORDAM (12,531 grt) and she became the first KUNGSHOLM. She was sold in 1924 and 4 years later the second vessel to bear the name entered service. She remained on the route between Gothenburg and New York until WW2 when trade on the Atlantic ceased to exist.
The third KUNGSHOLM, a 21,141 gross ton vessel was built in 1953 and she remained in service for 11 years before being sold to North German Lloyd and renamed EUROPA.
She survived until July 1984 when, s the COLUMBUS C, she struck the breakwater in Cadiz Harbour and sank.
In the summer of 1963 the Swedish-Amerika Line decided to build a 26,000 grt liner which could be used in a world cruising role for 80% of the year and on the North Atlantic for the rest of the time. The keel was laid in January 1964 and the fourth KUNGSHOLM was launched on April 14th 1965.
In August of 1975 the Swedish-Amerika Line withdrew from passenger ship operation completely and the KUNGSHOLM was sold to a Panamanian Company, Flagship Cruises Inc. of New York, and this role lasted for almost 3 years without change of name.
In Seotember of 1978 it was announced that P & O had purchased the KUNGSHOLM from Flagship Cruises and following a $12 million refit she emerged in January of 1979 minus the forward funnel and mainmast and by heightening of the remaining funnel. P & O renamed the vessel SEA PRINCESS. 1986 saw another change for the ship following a 6.5 million refit in Malta. She was thus provided with a white funnel bearing the Princess motif.
On the early hours of Monday May 6th. 1991 the SEA PRINCESS left Singapore again bearing a buff funnel and the P & O motif on her bridge superstructure. She returned to Southampton via Penang, the Seychelles, Mauritius, Durban, Cape Town, West Africa and Tenerife, arriving in Southampton during the early hours of June 16th. 1991.

Interpretive Summary: It is important to assess the seed health of germplasm distributed from public germplasm accessions. Representative samples of 14 accessions from the USDA-ARS Western Regional Plant Introduction Station (a unit of the National Plant Germplasm System) were subjected to standard protocols to assay for seedborne fungi. Fungi were identified by both morpho-cultural characters and DNA sequence analyses. Although species belonging to 10 genera were recovered and preserved, none belonged to species known to be major pathogens of lupine. Approximately 10% of seeds assayed contained internal fungi. Most were saprophytes or fungi that can cause damping off of seedlings under conditions adverse to seedling health. One minor pathogen of legumes, Fusarium acuminatum, was detected. Total Fusarium species accounted for ~3% of the fungi recovered and preserved.
Technical Abstract: Seedborne mycobiota of Lupinus albus was assessed using blotter paper and agar media with Rose Bengal or semi-selective for Pythium or Fusarium. Samples of 200 seeds were taken from each of 16 inventories, comprising 14 accessions originating from Germany, France, Ukraine, Syria, Hungary or Spain, and increased 1-2 times by the USDA-ARS Western Regional Plant Introduction Station. A total of 307 fungal isolates were recovered and preserved with over 96% belonging to 10 genera: Penicillium (47%), Cladosporium (32%, including Cladosporium-like Chalastospora), Alternaria (4%), Aspergillus (4%), Fusarium (3%), Rhizopus (3%), Ulocladium (3%), Chaetomium (0.5%) and Arthrinium (< 0.5%). By sub-sampling, fungi were further identified by morpho-cultural characters and/or DNA sequences as Alternaria infectoria, A. alternata, and A. tenuissima species-groups, Arthrinium arundinus, Aspergillus niger, Chalastospora gossypii, Cladosporium herbarum and C. cladosporioides species complexes, Chaetomium sp., Fusarium acuminatum, Rhizopus stolonifer, and Ulocladium atrum group. Penicillia included P. hordei, but most penicillia could not be assigned species names either by morphology or ß-tubulin DNA sequence.


American engineer Ted Hoff (born 1937) is credited with changing the face of the world as one of the key people behind the creation of the first microprocessor. While working for Intel in 1969, he developed the architecture that made a single-chip Central Processing Unit (CPU) possible. That product came on the market as the Intel 4004 in 1971 and the microprocessor industry was born. Exaggerating the impact of Hoff's invention is nearly impossible, as it became integral to a staggering array of modern conveniences and necessities that included CD players, personal computers, and medical devices.
Hoff was born Marcian Edward Hoff, Jr. on October 28, 1937, in Rochester, New York. His father, who worked in railway signaling and his uncle, a chemical engineer, were big influences on him as a boy, and encouraged his early interest in science. Chemistry was his first love, but that affection waned after Hoff was told there was no practical career to be had in research. His uncle's gift of a subscription to Popular Mechanics, however, soon filled the void with electronics. By the time Hoff was 12 years old, he was ordering books on electronics from the magazine, and a Christmas present of a radio-building kit from his parents soon sealed the deal. Electronics would be Hoff's future.
The aspiring young scientist tasted his initial success at only 15, when he was awarded a $400 scholarship and a trip to Washington, D.C., from the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. He continued that winning streak after graduating from high school in 1954 and starting to work as a laboratory technician for his father's company, the General Railway Signal Company, during summer breaks from college. While still a sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, he designed two circuits, one that detected trains via audio frequencies and one that absorbed energy to protect against lightning, for General Railway. Those innovations led to an inaugural pair of patents for the nascent inventor (a group that would eventually number 17).
Hoff received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Rensselaer in 1958 and then headed to the West Coast to complete his graduate work. As a National Science Foundation Fellow at Stanford University, he earned an MS (1959) and Ph.D. (1962) in electrical engineering. Hoff stayed on at Stanford for six years as a research associate in adaptive systems, until a start-up company named Intel began pursuing him, and soon after, the world would change forever.
In 1968, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andrew Grove founded the Intel Development Corporation (Intel was shorthand for integrated electronics). Noyce, who served as the start-up's president, had helped invent the integrated circuit. The new company had been established with the idea of developing semiconductor memory, but Hoff was not aware of that as he was sitting in Noyce's living room being interviewed for his first real job. "When I interviewed with Bob Noyce(,) he asked me what I thought would be the next big thing for semiconductors," Hoff recalled for a 2006 Stanford School of Engineering Alumni Profile. "I said memory—a lucky guess because that was before I knew why Intel was being founded." His good instincts paid off by landing him the position of manager of applications research in September of 1968. He was Intel's 12th employee.
Although Intel's early mandate was memory, it was decided that it would be a sensible idea to take on some custom work to make money while the memory business was being built up. An opportunity presented itself when a Japanese calculator company contacted Intel about developing chips for a line of calculators. A deal was struck in April of 1969, and Hoff was assigned to act as liaison for the Japanese engineering team. He had no design responsibilities on the project. Instead, his role was to facilitate and streamline interactions between the Japanese engineers and the applicable Intel counterparts. His natural curiosity and fiscal consciousness, however, prompted Hoff to become more deeply involved. In this, history was soon in the making.
It is important to note that the computers of the 1960s were quite different animals from those of later years. They were huge, for instance, often requiring acre-sized rooms. Circuit chips were needed for each application a computer performed, as opposed to a single chip, or "brain," that could run programs. Personal computers did not exist, and few imagined that consumers would ever have a desire for one. The London Sunday Times' Simon Sebag Montefiore cited Hoff's quoting the chairman of Digital, Ken Olson's, decidedly less than prescient remarks on the subject as, "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Even scientists were often suspicious or intimidated by the machines. Thus, given such an atmosphere, it is hardly surprising that Hoff's proposal to give Intel's Japanese customers what was, in essence, a computer chip rather than a calculator chip was initially not met with delight.
Hoff's inspiration mainly stemmed from simple economic considerations. The Japanese design required about a dozen different chips to get the calculators up and running. Hoff became concerned about Intel's ability to meet its cost targets while implementing such a complicated project. As he contemplated the problem and sought a way to simplify matters, his inventor's intuition and years of technical training took over. Surely it would be better to combine functions, thereby reducing the necessary number of chips. The clients were not impressed with Hoff's idea, but Noyce encouraged him to proceed anyway, believing that having a back-up design would be prudent.
So, Hoff continued his efforts over the summer of 1969. Simply put, he was designing a chip that would act as a CPU, which could run programs on its own. It would be, in effect, a computer on a sliver of silicon. Chip designer Stan Mazor joined Intel in September, and the two began to move beyond overall architecture into specific chip design. And this time, when the skeptical clients reviewed the proposal in October, they gave the single-chip concept the green light. The chip was dubbed the 4004 in honor of the approximate number of transistors it would replace.
A design, however groundbreaking, did not equal an end-product though. Thus, another talented chip designer, Federico Faggin, was brought in to oversee implementation. He arrived at Intel in April of 1970 and brought his own expertise to bear on the project. In February of the following year, working kits were delivered to the clients and in November of that year, the Intel 4004 made its debut on the market. The era of the microprocessor had begun.
The ramifications of the microprocessor were immense and far-reaching. Many, including the advent of the personal computer, could not have been foreseen by Hoff and his colleagues back in 1971. Jerry Sanders, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Micro Devices, succinctly characterized the chip's impact when he presented Hoff, Faggin, and Mazor with the Semiconductor Industry Association's highest honor for leadership, the Robert N. Noyce Award, in 2000. Business Wire quoted his words as, "One of the most important developments of the last half of the 20th century has been the microprocessor. Semiconductors are found in virtually every automobile, medical device, and computer in the modern world. Who knows where we would be today without the vision, passion(,) and unyielding tenacity of these three men?" Indeed, overestimating the Hoff team's effect on the world is nearly impossible to do.
Whatever success Hoff enjoyed as a businessperson and consultant later in his career, it was his technological achievements for which he will be best remembered. In addition to being listed as inventor or co-inventor on 17 U.S. patents, he received myriad honors for his pioneering work. Those included the 1979 Stuart Ballantine Medal of the Franklin Institute, the 1980 Cledo Brunetti Award and the 1984 Centennial Medal (both from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1996, and, as previously noted, the Robert N. Noyce Award of Semiconductor Industry Association in 2000. His contributions were delineated in Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine's book Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer, published in 1984 and revised in 2000, and in a DVD called the Microprocessor Chronicles in 2006. Justly so, there was no shortage of praise for or interest in the man who had been integral in altering the face of the modern world. The promise of Hoff's youth had been fulfilled in a manner that few could equal, but to which many could aspire.

All the usual suspects, plus a high-tech Cadillac.
2017 hasn't been the easiest year to live through, but we've found joy and comfort in some of the hardware we've tested over the last 12 months. Last year, we saw VR surge in prominence, but our picks this year are more conventional -- not to mention more diverse. The usual suspects include the iPhone X and Surface Laptop for getting helping us get things done, and the Nintendo Switch and the Sonos One for their ability to let us luxuriate at home and on the road. There's some more unexpected stuff on our list, too, like the easy-to-use DJI Spark drone as well as the Mighty, a tiny music player that won over much of the Engadget staff. Ultimately, we appreciated these picks for the ways they made our lives more pleasant, even if only a little.
Apple's latest iPhone is a radical departure from the company's tried-and-true smartphone formula, but you'd better get used to it. The home button is finally gone, and Apple's new Face ID technology works better than we expected and gives app creators another canvas for new kinds of experiences and interactions. (Animoji, anyone?) And for those more concerned with speed and camera performance, the iPhone X delivers on those fronts, too.
What really impressed us about the iPhone X, though, is the way Apple rewrote its rules for what an iPhone should be and still managed to build a pleasantly familiar slice of tomorrow. This is the future of the iPhone, and we're more than happy to never look back.
Lumping two phones into a single entry may seem like a cop-out, but whatever -- Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus were a remarkable return to form for a company mired in controversy. As usual, Samsung combined top-tier horsepower with some truly phenomenal cameras, and we give the company credit for taking risks with projects like the Bixby AI assistant, even it's a long way off from reaching its potential.
Still, it's Samsung's prowess with screens and industrial design that really impressed us. We'd argue that the S8 and S8 Plus are the most beautiful machines Samsung has ever crafted, and there's no phone maker in the world that does these big, bezel-less displays better. (No wonder Apple tapped Samsung to make the iPhone X's screen.) For Android fans, Samsung's hardware is second to none.
MacBooks can seem ubiquitous at times, but Microsoft just might be the king of laptop design now. The Surface Laptop took much of what we loved about Microsoft's Surface Pro line and adapted it into a more traditional form factor. It ships with a seventh-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, and while it's not the most powerful ultraportable out there, its excellent battery life and gorgeous 13.5-inch display made such concessions easier to live with.
The biggest knock against the Surface Laptop is that it ships with a locked-down version of Windows 10 S, but that's easily remedied with an upgrade to Windows 10 Pro -- a process that's much easier than it sounds. The Surface Laptop line will almost certainly grow more powerful and capable over the next few years, but Microsoft's first-gen notebook for the masses still belongs on shoppers' shortlists.
After the flop that was the Wii U, Nintendo's Switch hybrid marks a bold step in a new direction. First-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are among the best (if not the best) in their respective series, and developers have been keen to port more adult fare like Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to the new platform. Best of all, you don't need to be lounging in your living room to enjoy the Switch's surprisingly broad slate of year-one games. Truly, the number of Engadget staffers who swear by the Switch as a travel companion is impressive. And people seem to like the Switch as much as we do. Nintendo recently revealed it has sold more than 10 million units so far, with the new console poised to overtake the Wii U's lifetime sales in a single year.
For gamers who would rather trade portability for unadulterated power, there's the Xbox One X. It's the most powerful gaming console available right now, and to make the most of it, you'll want to hook it up to the best 4K television you can get your hands on. Original Xbox One owners itching for a prettier, more nuanced gaming experience owe it to themselves to snap up one of these $500 boxes. It's a tougher sell for more casual gamers, however, and it lacks glitzy add-ons like a VR headset. Still, Microsoft has been clear from the outset: If power is your biggest priority, the Xbox One X is the way to go.
Amazon's suite of Echos and Google's Home speakers are fine, but of all the smart speakers we tested this year, the Sonos One simply sounds the best. That might not be everyone's biggest priority, but still -- if you're going to insist on some kind of voice-activated speaker sitting on your kitchen counter or bookshelf, why not invest in one that sounds great? More importantly, its deep Alexa integration means the Sonos One can do just about anything one an Amazon Echo can, and a recently announced Spotify partnership means you can ask to hear all your carefully curated playlists. And for those who aren't particularly fond of Amazon's Alexa, just hang in there -- the Sonos One is slated to get Google's Assistant sometime next year.
We really didn't expect to love this iPod Shuffle look-alike as much as we did, but here we are. While many people are more than happy to take their phones everywhere, the Mighty's tiny body makes it an excellent companion for workouts or long walks. It's not perfect -- the companion app in particular could use some work -- but it's been a long time since we've heard such a compelling case for carrying a separate music doo-dad.
The name might be a mouthful, but Sony's latest set of high-end cans just might be the best headphones we tested in 2017. That's no small feat, since we've tried out a quite a few seriously impressive headsets this year. Audio aficionados might notice that this pair sounds basically identical to the model it replaces, but we're not complaining about the bold, dynamic audio the WH-1000XM2 produces.
Better still, we thought the new cans were just a touch better than Bose in the noise-cancellation department -- an important consideration if you're a frequent traveler. And the best part? Sony upped the battery life to 30 hours of use with Bluetooth and noise cancellation enabled. There are technically better sounding headphones out there, but as far as overall value goes, Sony wins.
For a long time, buying a decent drone meant shelling out loads of money. Not so much anymore. The DJI Spark is one of the more modestly priced drones we've tested, but what really sold us was how easy it is to simply pick up and start using. You don't even need a phone or a controller to use it; simply fire it up, let it go, and control it using hand gestures. Grabbing epic selfies has never been so simple. More advanced users may bristle at its relatively small battery and limited range, but beginners looking for a way to get their feet wet won't find a better option than this.
This one isn't a product so much as a feature made possible by lots of underlying technology. Cadillac's Super Cruise earns points for taking the pain out of long drives. The biggest difference between Super Cruise and other semi-autonomous driving systems is that you're able to remove your hands from the steering wheel entirely.
A suite of cameras are trained on you, and as long as you keep your eyes on the road, you're free to fiddle with your phone, have a conversation with your passengers or just luxuriate in peace with your hands in your lap. Commutes won't be totally hands-free, but they'll be a whole lot more tranquil than usual. The feature is only available in the pricey Cadillac CT6 for now, but if enough people splurge on Super Cruise, we wouldn't be surprised to see the technology show up in other GM cars over the next few years.

Editor Kishore Passes Away
National award winning editor T E Kishpore passed away in coma at a private hospital in Chennai.
Kishore was admitted to hospital when he fell unconsious working in Vettrimaran's film. A surgery was done in his brain. For his work in Aadukalam, he won the National Film Award for Best Editing. He has worked in many blokbusters in Tamil cinema.
He is also known for his work in films such as Paradesi, Ethir Neechal, Udhayam NH4, Aarohanam and Nedunchaalai. He has over 30 films to his credit.


Cedric Ceballos is more than accustomed to entertaining crowds. This season, he's just doing it in a little different way. As the Suns' new Game Night Emcee, it's his job to keep fans into the game during the breaks in the action at America West Arena. Running contests, interviewing celebrities in attendance, hosting the halftime shows or just getting the crowd pumped up – they're all a part of Ceballos' new responsibilities.
In addition to Suns fans, who have been getting a kick out of Ced's on-court antics, Director of Game Operations Kip Helt is also pleased with the newest member of his game night crew.
Ceballos was offered the emcee spot at the Purple Palace after blowing everyone away at an impromptu audition last April. Of course, the Suns' surprising stretch run and eventual postseason berth played a major factor, too. During a Suns playoff party kicking off the San Antonio series, "Ice" got a chance to show off his entertainment skills, made an impression and wound up with a new job.
This isn't the first time the jokester has been behind the mic or in front of the cameras, of course. He's done radio work, in addition to some broadcasting for ESPN, TNT and the Phoenix Mercury. He's dabbled in the rap scene and even released his own album, 'Nuff Ced, in 2000. Throw in face time on TV sitcoms Living Single, The Jamie Foxx Show, Martin and Hang Time, plus bit roles in movies like Space Jam and Eddie, and Ceballos is pretty use to all eyes and ears being on him.
Now don't go thinking Ceballos is done playing basketball just because he's got a new job. The 11-year NBA veteran – who played with the Suns, Lakers, Mavs, Heat and Pistons – still hits the court as often as possible as an unofficial free agent forward for various teams and leagues. He just has to work his playing time around Suns games now.
He stresses his role on the court and in the stands at AWA on game night is anything but a simple public speaking gig. It takes a unique individual to handle an equally unique job description.
"It's a difficult task because people aren't really used to working in an arena atmosphere and keeping fans' attention," he said. "I know guys who've been in radio for years, but as soon as they get in front of a crowd, they fall apart.
Even though Ceballos doesn't sport his No. 23 for Phoenix anymore, he's still part of the team – the team atmosphere during Suns games at America West Arena. And as part of the game night experience, it's his job to make the fans feel like they are, too.

Specialization And Experience In A Colorado Criminal Defense Lawyer is indispensible. There is no substite.
You wouldn't perform brain surgery on yourself, and it is unlikely you would go through your first African safari acting as your own guide. The reasons are obvious. There is a great deal of danger, and you count on someone else to have the knowledge and experience to get you safely through. The same is true with your contact with the criminal justice system.
In most cases, it simply is better not to be overly "aggressive" either in pre-trial matters or at trial. Much of criminal law practice before trial consists of careful investigation and skillful negotiation. This is no place for an attorney to behave aggressively or unreasonably…at least not if they know what they are doing! Even at trial, most experienced trial lawyers know that being aggressive and unfriendly is likely to turn off the jury and everyone else.
While there certainly are situations that call for an aggressive cross-examination of an accuser or other witness, an experienced trial attorney knows that under most circumstances it is better to appear to the jury as a professional and reasonable defense attorney because that makes it much more likely that they will adopt the defense's version of events and acquit their client. Usually if the jury doesn't like the attorney, it's bad news for the client. In fact most prosecutors want obnoxious aggressive defense attorneys because they know the jury will not like them or their client.
It's a tough lesson to learn for the first time after your trial is over.
You should be wary of firms that promise to "take every case to trial" because in some cases going to trial is not the best option for the client. Usually, if an individual accused of a crime goes to trial and loses, the penalties are much higher than had that person earlier accepted a plea bargain. Some inexperienced or unethical lawyers, however, urge their clients to go to trial even though it is not in that client's best interests because they can then charge the client additional fees.
When these attorneys go to trial and lose, they then either blame the system for being unfair, or blame the client for not convincing the judge or jury that they were innocent. It is the client who pays the ultimate price for this incompetence, usually by receiving a much longer jail term than had the attorney negotiated a plea bargain. Few things are as heartbreaking to see as a person who should have pleaded guilty and received a light sentence or probation, instead going to trial at the urging of an incompetent attorney, and then ending up being sentenced to long years in state prison.
The Steinberg Colorado Criminal Defense Law Firm is dedicated to defending people accused of all crimes. For many years we have been taking these cases to trial and, unlike some law firms who advertise that they are "trial lawyers" despite never having taken a criminal case to jury trial, our firm actually does try cases. However, we also recognize that sometimes, after an intensive and thorough investigation, it becomes clear that the evidence against our client is so strong that it would not be in his or her best interest to go to trial.
In those cases, because of our experience in dealing with judges and prosecutors in metropolitan Denver over many years, we have been very successful in obtaining the best plea bargain available for our clients who have been accused of crimes.
Because most people only get their knowledge about the system from movies, books or television, they have a great number of questions.
How do I get out of jail while fighting the case?
How many court appearances will there be, and do I have to be present for each of them?
What if the officer never read me my rights?
As in most areas of life, experience makes a difference. H. Michael Steinberg has practiced in one area of the law, Colorado criminal law, for over 30 years. He has been very successful in his practice and is intimately familiar with Colorado criminal law, the Colorado criminal justice system.
Call him. You need answers and guidance. He can answer your questions quickly and correctly.
A seasoned attorney's experience may be helpful in deciding how to attack your case.
Do you need an investigator to locate and interview important witnesses, and collect key evidence?
Do you need an expert to review your case, such as a toxicologist, arson investigator, or mental health professional?
Will you need that expert to testify at trial?
An attorney must have worked with licensed investigators and qualified experts in many cases and have established important contacts with professionals who know how to help build your case into a winner.
Attorneys can only properly evaluate a case if they have the kind of specialized experience to tell you what can happen to you, and the reputation that they will aggressively represent you at trial if necessary.

Q: Принцип работы yield в Python Столкнулся с очень странным выводом при запуске кода:
def magic():
    raise RuntimeError
    print("bar")
    yield 100

print(magic())

и будет неожиданный для меня ответ:
<generator object gen at 0x7fb3073f0f68>

Вопрос немного обобщенный, хотелось бы понять как это реализовано в python и как понять на уровне кода отличия между обычной функцией и генератором?

потому как тип у генератор не отличается от обычной функции
def no_magic():
    pass

type(magic) is type(no_magic)

A: Схематично работа генератора выглядит так.
Функция возвращает собственно генератор, т.е. специальный объект, который хранит "текущее состояния" выполнения. Это состояние в себя включает место в функции генератора (т.е. команду yeild), где остановилось предыдущее выполнение.
При вызове next с параметром возвращенным вызовом magic() запускается собственно код magic и когда доходит до yield, то в этом месте значение, которое передано как аргумент в yield вернется из next. Вот пример с разметкой шагов, которые показывают порядок выполнения:
# я изменил функцию, чтобы продемонстрировать работу yield
def magic():
    yield 100  # шаг 3
    yield 200  # шаг 7
    print(1)   # шаг 11
    yield 300  # шаг 12
    print(2)   # шаг 16

gen = magic()  # шаг 1
a = next(gen)  # вызов next - шаг 2, присвоение - шаг 4
print(a)       # шаг 5, выведет в консоль 100
a = next(gen)  # вызов next - шаг 6, присвоение - шаг 8
print(a)       # шаг 9, выведет в консоль 200
a = next(gen)  # вызов next - шаг 10, присвоение - шаг 13
print(a)       # шаг 14, выведет в консоль 300
next(gen)      # вызов шаг 15, исключение StopIteration - шаг 17
               # т.к. magic закончила выполнение

Т.е. каждый раз при вызове next(gen) (а именно так происходит итерация по генератору) выполнение функции возобновляется с предыдущей точки yield и доходит до следущей, где происходит запоминание этой новой точки и возврат значения в вызывающую функцию.
Что касается типов, то тип magic и no_magic тот же - function. Важно что возвращает функция:
>>> type(magic())
<type 'generator'>
>>> type(no_magic())
<type 'NoneType'>

Сам код no_magic выполняется непосредственно в точке вызова no_magic(), у magic() этого не происходит, вызов отложен или еще по другому говорят, что вычисления делаются "лениво" или "по требованию"(lazy или on demand).

A: Описание:

Генераторы — это функции, которые можно приостанавливать и
возобновлять во время их выполнения, при этом они возвращают объект,
который можно итерировать. В отличие от списков, они ленивы и поэтому
работают с текущим элемент только по запросу. Таким образом, они
намного эффективнее используют память при работе с большими наборами
данных.

Генераторы возвращают значение через оператор yield.
А так вы генератор вы создали через magic(), но вы его не выполнили.
Например так:
def magic():
    raise RuntimeError
    print("bar")
    yield 100

gen = magic()
print(gen)
print(next(gen))

Apps for America 2 finalists announced
By Joab Jackson
Finalists in the competition have developed applications that show how government datasets can be mixed and formatted in such a way that make them more easily accessible and understandable.
Records Document Management
Records or Documents Management
Sunlight Labs has announced the three finalists for the second iteration of its Apps for America contest.
The Apps for America 2 competition, which was announced in May, was launched to encourage people and organizations to create applications that repurpose data in the Data.gov registry so it can be more widely used by citizens.
These finalists were picked from a total of 47 submissions. All of the submissions, and the finalists in particular, show how government datasets can be mixed and formatted in a way that makes them more easily accessible and understandable.
One of the finalists is GovPulse.us, assembled by developers at the educational nonprofit research organization WestEd. GovPulse reorganizes the information published in the daily Federal Register, the government's official journal for agency notices and proposed regulations.
The Government Printing Office offers the online version of the Federal Register, though it is accessible only by a search function. The National Archives also offers a front-end to this material, where entire issues can be accessed.
GovPulse reorganizes the Federal Register in different ways to make access easier. It has separate sections for recently opened and soon-to-be closed comments, as well as sections devoted to each agency. It also provides a table of contents for the current daily edition of the publication. Each item in the daily edition gets its own page, with a contact information included in a sidebar, as well as a map of any places that are mentioned.
"GovPulse parses [the Federal Register] and gives you a way to browse the tens-of-thousands-of-pages-long register by agency, category or date. What's also compelling about it is the visualizations and analysis the software does on top of the register," Sunlight Lab head Clay Johnson wrote in the blog item announcing the finalists.
The second finalist is ThisWeKnow.org, developed by a team of developers from data analysis firm GreenRiver.org, Web design shop Sway Design and the semantic web database company Intellidimension. On this page, users can type in ZIP codes or town names, and the site will return a list government information pertinent to that region.
The page pulls information from Data.gov, as well as legislative data from GovTrack.us, geographic cross-referencing from GeoNames, and a version of the 2000 U.S. census rendered in the Resource Description Framework format by Joshua Tauberer.
"The depth of information in the site is incredible," Johnson noted.
The third finalist is a site called DataMasher, developed by nonprofit marketing firm Forum One Communications. With this site, users can fuse two sources of government datasets and build a mashup to show how they interact. This approach can tease apart a lot of potentially interesting information by looking at one dataset through the perspective of another. The presentations can be rendered by maps and charts. In one instance, the total amount of political contributions is divided by each state's population to get a chart showing the per capita political contribution for each state.
The final winner, which will be picked by a vote on the Sunlight Lab page, will be announced at the Gov 2.0 Conference in September.
Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra set up Data.gov so that third parties can reuse government-generated data in innovative and useful ways. "We recognize that we don't have a monopoly on the best ideas, but we want to tap into the ingenuity of the American people," he has said.
The Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the amount of government transparency, set up Sunlight Labs to encourage the development of new technologies to facilitate greater public interaction with government datasets.

Rock legend and cultural icon is what he will mostly be remembered for, but Mr. David Robert Jones (1947-2016) better known to the world as David Bowie was also an avid reader. Shortly before his death, he compiled a list of the top 100 books that he thought really inspired his life and work:

Rocky Bleier bringing his one-man show to Pittsburgh stage
Former Pittsburgh Steeler Rocky Bleier performs a scene from his one-man show "The Play." The show will be featured on the Pittsburgh Public Theater's O'Reilly Theater stage Dec. 28 through Jan. 6. For tickets call 412-316-1600, go to ppt.org, or visit the O'Reilly Box Office. (Submitted photo)
PITTSBURGH–Pittsburgh Public Theater is thrilled to welcome back former Pittsburgh Steeler Rocky Bleier to perform his one-man show, "The Play," live on the O'Reilly Theater stage. Based on Bleier's life story, "The Play" was written by Gene Collier, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sports journalist and co-author (with Rob Zellers) of "The Chief," The Public's hit play about Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr.
Directed by Scott C. Wise, "The Play" will run for nine performances only, Dec. 28 through Jan. 6 at the O'Reilly Theater, Pittsburgh Public Theater's home in the heart of Downtown's Cultural District. For tickets call 412-316-1600, go to ppt.org, or visit the O'Reilly Box Office. UPMC is the Production Sponsor and Play It Forward Pittsburgh is the Promotional Partner.
In "The Play," Bleier recalls being selected in the 16th round of the 1968 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, only to be drafted one year later by the Army and sent to Vietnam. Severely injured, he was not expected to ever play football again.
But with personal determination and the encouragement of Rooney and team members, Bleier was back at training camp in 1970. He went on to became part of the Steelers dynasty, whose Super Bowl victories include 1975, 1976, 1979 and 1980.
Bleier first performed "The Play" at The O'Reilly during the last holiday season. City Paper said, "It's difficult to imagine a more engaging, comfortable presence than Bleier's." According to the Post-Gazette, "It was an all-age audience, with fathers and sons, some reliving memories, others getting a history lesson." The Beaver County Times called "The Play" "a hugely entertaining piece of theater."
The design team for The Play is Anne Mundell (Scenic), Ted Pappas (Costumes) Andrew Ostrowski (Lighting) and Steve Shapiro (Sound). Maria G. Scheller is the Production Stage Manager.
The performance schedule is as follows: 7 p.m. Dec. 28, 7 p.m. Dec. 29, 1 and 7 p.m. Dec. 30, 7 p.m. Jan. 2 through Jan. 5 and 1 p.m. Jan. 6.
Tickets cost $60 and $80 or $15.75 for students and adults under the age of 26. Discounts for groups of 10 or more are available by contacting Casey Helm at 412-316-8200 Ext. 704 or chelm@ppt.org. Ticket prices are subject to change.

No sentimentality as Abramovich fires Chelsea great Lampard
By ROB HARRIS - Jan. 25, 2021 03:09 PM EST
FILE - In this Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020 file photo, Chelsea's head coach Frank Lampard walks during the warm up before the English Premier League soccer match between Everton and Chelsea at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England. Lampard has been fired by Chelsea halfway through his second season in charge of the London club on Monday, Jan. 25, 2021 after being unable to replicate his success as the club's record scorer in his first Premier League managerial job. Chelsea has lost five of its last eight Premier League games and dropped to ninth place, despite Lampard benefiting from nearly $300 million on new players for this season.

Sentimentality couldn't save Frank Lampard.
Being Chelsea's record scorer counted for little when the team's decline, on Lampard's watch as manager, alarmed owner Roman Abramovich after $300 million invested in new talent for this season.
After just 18 months in charge, and five losses in the last eight English Premier League games, the novice coach was fired on Monday.
It was the 14th change of managers in 18 years at Chelsea under Abramovich, and former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel is set to arrive in London this week as Lampard's replacement. The German could attend Wednesday's match against Wolverhampton using a slight English pandemic allowance for workers flying into an elite sports environment to avoid full quarantine — if he tests negative for the coronavirus.
What Lampard's status at the club did afford him was a public statement of explanation from the Russian billionaire, for whom he helped to win so many trophies as a player.
"This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him," Abramovich said. "He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers."
Those circumstances see Chelsea down in ninth place in the Premier League with the worst points-per-game record of any of Abramovich's managers. The performances had "not met expectations" and left the team "without any clear path to sustained improvement," Chelsea concluded.
"On behalf of everyone at the club, the board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as head coach and wish him every success in the future," Abramovich said. "He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge."
The lack of fans being allowed into the stadium due to the pandemic might have hastened Lampard's departure. There was no opportunity for supporters to demonstrate their public support for "Super Frank Lampard," as they chant, or for any backlash against his removal at upcoming games.
As the pressure has grown, the cracks were showing ahead of the FA Cup win over Luton on Sunday, when Lampard hit out at perceived negative coverage of the team.
But his own shortcomings of a fledging coaching career were being exposed, and sentimentality was cast aside despite him being instrumental to the trophy-laden revival of the club as a player since the takeover by Abramovich.
"When I took on this role I understood the challenges that lay ahead in a difficult time for the football club," Lampard said. "I am proud of the achievements that we made, and I am proud of the academy players that have made their step into the first team and performed so well. They are the future of the club.
"I am disappointed not to have had the time this season to take the club forward and bring it to the next level. I want to thank Mr. Abramovich, the board, players, my coaching team and everyone at the club for their hard work and dedication, especially in these unprecedented and challenging times."
Chelsea brought back its midfield great as coach in 2019 even though Lampard had only a single season's experience in management in the second division with Derby.
He achieved Champions League qualification in his first season by securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League despite the club making no signings, in part due to a FIFA transfer ban.
The rush to dismiss Lampard is indicative of the impatience shown by Abramovich, particularly when the team is slipping away from the Champions League spots despite having already achieved a spot in the last 16 this season — unlike Premier League leader Manchester United, which was eliminated in the group stage.
Getting the best out of expensive squad reinforcements proved beyond Lampard — particularly Germany forward Timo Werner, the headline signing of the summer transfer window spending spree. Since Nov. 14, the only goal he has in all competitions for Chelsea was a tap-in against fourth-division club Morecambe in the FA Cup and he missed a penalty against another lower-league side — Luton.
After securing one of the biggest jobs in English management so early in his coaching career, Lampard leaves Stamford Bridge without any success, having lost the 2020 FA Cup final to Arsenal.
Lampard is a Chelsea great after scoring 211 goals from central midfield from 2001-14, during which he won every major honor at the club including three Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Next in the dugout at Stamford Bridge is set to be Tuchel. It would be a swift return to coaching for the German less than a month after being fired by PSG following a power struggle with the Qatari ownership.
Like every other arrival into England, he would have to test negative before flying but he could leave quarantine in London to attend training and games if he is negative again when undergoing another test with Chelsea. Anyone coming into England can then stop isolating after a negative test on the fifth day in the country.
Tuchel is only five years older than Lampard but vastly more experienced in coaching having been forced to retire from playing at 24 due to injury.
Tuchel made his name in Germany by showing faith in young players during a five-year stint with unheralded Mainz. In 2009, he was promoted to take charge of the Mainz first team after just one year in charge of the youth side, and quickly promoted young talent.
He lasted only two years at Borussia Dortmund before being fired despite winning the German Cup after falling out with officials — just as he would do at PSG.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – June 23, 2018
by Lyle Richardson | Jun 23, 2018 | News, NHL | 5 comments
Results of the opening round of the 2018 NHL Draft, plus the latest on John Carlson, Paul Martin, Phil Kessel and much more in your morning coffee headlines.
NHL.COM: The Buffalo Sabres selected Swedish defenseman Rasmus Dahlin with the first-overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. The Carolina Hurricanes took right wing Andrei Svechnikov second overall, the Montreal Canadiens selected center Jesperi Kotkaniemi third overall, the Ottawa Senators took left wing Brady Tkachuk with the fourth selection and the Arizona Coyotes used the fifth overall selection to take Barrett Hayton. You can see the full list of the 31 selections by following this link. Rounds 2 through 7 will be held today starting at 11 pm ET.
Buffalo Sabres selected defenseman Rasmus Dahlin with the first-overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft (Photo via NHL.com).
SPECTOR'S NOTE: There were a few surprises among the top-10 selections. Hayton went much higher than expected while forward Filip Zadina dropped to the sixth overall selection and the Chicago Blackhawks surprised by selecting defenseman Adam Boqvist. Those moves saw a reshuffling of the projected order, resulting in the Edmonton Oilers landing defenseman Evan Bouchard (10th overall) and the New York Islanders getting blueliner Noah Dobson 12th overall.
There was also a notable lack of trades involving established NHL players in the opening round. Just prior to the start of the draft, the Washington Capitals dealt goaltender Philipp Grubauer and defenseman Brooks Orpik to the Colorado Avalanche for a second-round pick (47th overall). I'll have more on the absence of deals later this morning in the Rumors section. I'll have analysis on any notable moves later today in my Soapbox section.
NBC SPORTS WASHINGTON: Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said his club is really close to re-signing defenseman John Carlson, who's eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Dealing defenseman Brooks Orpik to Colorado yesterday freed up $5.5-million of salary cap space, providing much-needed room to sign Carlson, who could get an eight-year deal worth around $8 million annually.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The interview period for potential UFAs to speak with other clubs begins on Monday, June 25. MacLellan obviously wants to ensure Carlson is signed before then.
THE MERCURY NEWS: The San Jose Sharks placed defenseman Paul Martin on unconditional waivers Friday for the purpose of buying out the final season of his contract. The move will free up $3.2 million of salary cap space to put toward re-signing other players or to pursue a free-agent talent such as the New York Islanders' John Tavares or former KHL winger Ilya Kovalchuk. The Sharks will now have around $19.2 million in cap room.
TRIBLIVE.COM: Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan denied reports claiming he has a rocky relationship with winger Phil Kessel. He said their relationship is one of mutual respect and that hasn't changed in the last three seasons. Rumors claiming otherwise emerged following the Penguins second-round elimination from the 2018 playoffs, sparking speculation Kessel could be traded.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Sullivan needed to make those remarks about a month ago when those Kessel trade rumors first surfaced. I daresay his comments will be treated with skepticism now.
NHL.COM: The Dallas Stars re-signed defenseman Stephen Johns to a three-year contract extension worth an annual average value of $2.35 million.
VANCOUVER SUN: The Vancouver Canucks re-signed forward Markus Granlund to a one-year, $1.475-million contract.
TAMPA BAY TIMES: The Tampa Bay Lightning won't be re-signing pending UFA winger Chris Kunitz. They re-signed backup goaltender Louis Domingue to a two-year deal worth $2.3 million and hired Jeff Halpern as an assistant coach.
NBC SPORTS PHILADELPHIA: The Flyers have agreed to a three-year contract with defenseman Samuel Morin. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
MLIVE.COM: The Detroit Red Wings hired Dan Bylsma as an assistant coach. Bylsma was formerly head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres.
THE ATHLETIC: The Anaheim Ducks have parted ways with assistant coach Steve Konowolchuk.
TSN: Former NHL players Nick Boynton and Dan Carcillo are suing the NHL, "alleging it failed to warn players about the long-term risk of brain damage from fighting."
Pengy	on June 23, 2018 at 8:50 am
Ed getting Bouchard at 10 was very fair for their future
SJ really setting up for aggressive JT move
If Pens sign Kunitz 1 yr at $1M or less … would be good depth/character move… not sure they would tho
Pens…. do not (please) consider bringing back Martin… past due date
ds	on June 23, 2018 at 11:04 am
Watching the careers side by side of Kravtsov and Wahlstrom could be stressful for us Ranger fans.
Hope Clark is right here.
I was so giddy when both Wahlstrom and Dobson were sitting there…
MG	on June 23, 2018 at 11:24 am
So, they never heard the term "punch drunk"?
I'm pretty sure the world knew that getting punched in the head was bad for you long before either guy was born.
If the ex players wanted to affect positive change, that would be one thing, but instead they want to point fingers and grab money.
The NHL's job is to run a hockey league.
The NHLPA's job is to look after the best interest of their players. Yet, it was the NHLPA who fought safety measures at every step. It wasn't like players were begging for helmets and a fighting ban and the NHL told them to get back into the lion pit. It was the league who had to force the players to accept safety improvements every step of the way.
Also, their litigiousness forces the NHL to be even more guarded and slows progess when more information and understanding is needed.
Their money grab is hurting the cause they claim to care about. Boo.
Canadian King	on June 23, 2018 at 10:46 pm
Very well said MG, I couldn't agree more. It's sickening. Didn't hear them complaining when they were making hundred of thousands of dollars a year.
East Van Dan	on June 23, 2018 at 2:20 pm
After the first and second overall, lots of surprises. Kotkaniemi seems like a very good player but I can't help but think Montreal reached there. Same with Arizona and NYR picks.
Detroit and Vancouver did very well to grab Zadina and Hughes, respectively (Detroit got another steal with Veleno at 30). Bouchard could be excellent for Edmonton. NYI maybe the biggest winner with Wahlstrom and Dobson falling to them, both players who could have been top 10 picks. Detroit and Buffalo are the other teams that immediately look much improved.
