Magnetic resonance imaging is a relatively new imaging technique. Talking about the history of magnetic resonance imaging, it dates back in the 1940s. In 1946, two scientists in the United States Felix Bloch and Edward Purcell independently discovered the magnetic resonance imaging phenomena and were later awarded the Nobel Prize in 1952.They described a physicochemical phenomenon that was based upon the magnetic properties of certain nuclei in the periodic system.
Edward Purcell worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, and later joined the faculty of Harvard University whereas Felix Bloch, a Swiss national, taught at the University of Leipzig until 1933.
Apart from Bloch and Purcell, there were other scientists working in the field. In the year 1924, Wolfgang Pauli suggested the possibility of an intrinsic nuclear spin. The following year, George Eugene Uhlenbeck and Samuel A. Goudsmit introduced the concept of the spinning electron. Two years later Pauli and Charles Galton Darwin developed a theoretical framework for grafting the concept of electron spin into the new quantum mechanics. In 1933, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach were able to measure the effect of the nuclear spin by deflection of a beam of hydrogen molecules.
Up until the 1970s, the application of magnetic resonance imaging was limited to chemical and physical analysis. In 1971, Raymond Damadian showed that nuclear magnetic relaxation times of tissues and tumors differed. Scientists were motivated to use MRI to study diseases. In 2003, Paul C. Lauterbur and Peter Mansfield discovered the use of MRI as a diagnostic tool. Over the next two decades, scientists developed MRI into the technology that we now know today.

Every year, our state (Land) - North Rhine-Westphalia - is host to millions of visitors from abroad: people on business, tourists visiting our cities and discovering our culture, exchange students or people who are here as part of a town twinning partnership. Most of them stay just a short time - North Rhine-Westphalia is not the most obvious place for a holiday, after all. But visitors who do come here are not looking for sun, sea and sand; they want to get to know our country and our people, do some successful cross-border business or keep up personal contacts.
This short brochure aims to be an initial introduction for anyone who would like to get to know us better and would like to find out about our history and our political system. It is an introduction in words and pictures to our Land and, in particular, the place where decisions on our Land's future are made: the Landtag or State Parliament. It is an outline of who holds political responsibility here in North Rhine-Westphalia and of how this responsibility is enacted. It aims to be a kind of political guidebook especially for people who travel light and therefore want to have all the basic facts to hand in a clear and concise way.
Officially opened on 2 October 1988, North Rhine-Westphalia's Landtag building is the first completely new parliament building to be built in the history of the German Federal Republic. It was the first time that a German parliament had designed its future home itself and the first time that a parliament's own view of itself had been translated into architecture.
the task of legislating is split between the 16 Land Parliaments and the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag). For all matters which directly affect the Federal Republic as a whole - such as, for example, foreign policy and defense policy, currency issues, atomic policy, the postal and telecommunications services - the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) in Berlin has sole and exclusive authority to legislate.
We were invited to visit the Landtag. Students from class 8 and 9 have had the big opportunity to make a discussion about the theme: “what is better for students, economy and society: 4 or 6 weeks summerholidays”.

Social justice, and fighting the good fight have been brought to the forefront of our Western world today more than ever. With all the political uncertainty attempting to push back years of progress, Canadians and those within the K-W community have begun to take action.
On March 1, Laurier women’s studies professor Helen Ramirez, along with a team of Laurier students, will host an evening of artistic expression with hopes that through this off-script attempt to drum up conversation they will be able to inspire others in the community to take action.
“I think this is a really important event particularly because we are in the 150th year marking Canada’s existence and because we’re approaching International Women’s Day. This event is about bringing students and the larger community together,” said Ramirez.
The event will take place at the Kitchener Public Library and will serve to dispel myths in university culture about the dangers of venturing into downtown Kitchener. Organizers hope that the community setting will bring together not only students but members of the community as well.
“We need to build a community that attends to all the injustices that we still see so much in part of what we know as Canada [sic],” said Ramirez.
As opposed to catering a night of social justice discussion to one prevalent issue, Ramirez hopes that by opening the conversation to include all injustices, it will allow for cross-understanding of individual experiences.
“It really is an invitation for everybody to come in to see, perhaps, their own lives in performance or to see where the gaps are where more performance needs to happen,” said Ramirez.
There are a variety of performers attending the event, from Syrian refugees, to trans people, and also those of Indigenous decent. This event poses a different message than similar events discussing social injustices by conveying messages through performance and art.
Ramirez hopes that this evening furthers the conversation needed for social change, and upholds the values we cherish as Canadians.
The event will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and to encourage student attendance, there will be buses leaving from and returning to both Laurier Branford (Carnegie Building at 5 p.m.), and Laurier Waterloo (Maureen Forrester Recital Hall at 5:30 p.m., 5:50 p.m. and 6:10 p.m.).

One hundred years ago today, on October 3, 1917, former City player William Kirby lost his life in action in France.
These qualities, however, did not guarantee Southern League success. In Kirby’s five League games for City, the side failed to register a single goal. When they did finally score, he was sidelined. Had he picked up an injury? Was he not fully fit? It’s not clear, but by November 1913 he’d asked for a transfer. And his move to Merthyr Town was confirmed.
For the Western Times, William Kirby ‘will always be remembered as one of the players of national repute who have donned the City’s colours’.
The player, along with twelve other WW1 fatalities, is commemorated on a plaque in the memorial garden at St James Park.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided against weighing in on a multibillion-dollar payout by Mastercard and Visa to settle an anti-trust suit filed by a group of retailers over interchange pricing and anti-steering rules. The High Court's decision leaves intact a 2016 appeals court ruling that scrapped the settlement after hundreds of companies – including some of the biggest names in retailing – opposed the 2013 agreement. It also leaves open the possibility of an ongoing legal fracas over interchange and related issues.
"If this settlement had been approved, the structure of fees that drive up the prices of everything consumers buy would be cemented into place forever," Mallory Duncan, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at the National Retail Federation, stated. "Now something can finally be done to bring these fees under control."
Interchange generates a pile of cash, but it's a vulnerable pile. An analysis published in 2016 by S&P Global Market Intelligence found credit and debit card interchange generated $32.25 billion in revenues for U.S. financial institutions in 2015. In 2011, the total was $30.58 billion; however, with implementation of Durbin Amendment caps on debit card interchange, revenues fell to $27.97 billion the following year.
Visa and Mastercard have been taking heat over interchange for decades, but the battle intensified in 2006 when a large group of retailers (led by big-box stores like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., as well as the NRF and other retail trade groups) filed a class-action lawsuit alleging that interchange and rules meant to maximize interchange collections amounted to price-fixing.
Following years of legal maneuvering, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement that included $7.2 billion (later reduced to $5.7 billion) in restitution, which was approved by a U.S. District Court judge. But soon retailers began to balk; many sought to opt out for a variety of reasons, including a provision of the settlement that banned future lawsuits regarding interchange and related rules.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York agreed with the dissenting retailers, writing in a June 2016 opinion that "the class plaintiffs were inadequately represented" and that "the settlement was inadequate and unreasonable." The Supreme Court's decision not to review the appeals court decision means the case now can be placed back on the docket at the U.S. District Court in New York, where it was originally.
Duncan said retailers are considering whether to negotiate another settlement or to focus on more recently filed lawsuits over interchange and related issues. And there is no dearth of litigation. In 2016, at least four lawsuits were filed against Visa and/or Mastercard over the EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) mandate. Wal-Mart and The Home Depot Inc. alleged in separate filings that to maximize transaction interchange, the card brands require them to accept signatures instead of other, more secure methods of authorization, like PINs.
There is little doubt interchange has become the boogeyman of card payments. And retailers and their powerful trade groups are determined to eradicate or at least severely handicap it. Their strategy reminds me of lingchi, a method of torture and execution practiced in China from the Dark Ages until the early 20th century that translates as death by a thousand cuts. Only in this situation, it's more like death by a thousand lawsuits and regulations.
"The Court's decision ensures that retailers will continue to be able to challenge the card networks' unfair price fixing of credit card fees," NACS, the Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing, said in a statement. "If the justices had come down in favor of the settlement, the card companies would have been insulated from lawsuits challenging improperly set fees."
It's not just that interchange is under legal attack. New and emerging technologies are being leveraged to provide merchants with lower-cost alternatives to bankcard acceptance, such as decoupled debit cards, bitcoin payments, and person-to-person (bank-to-bank) networks. And the push for real-time payments is creating more and better options. In addition to better certainty of funds and lower transaction fees, real-time payments offer vast improvements in cash flow management while improving customer service and reducing opportunities for fraud.
To compete successfully in this changing environment, ISOs and merchant level salespeople (MLSs) need to remake themselves into payments experts who can provide combinations of payment acceptance options and ancillary services that make sense for individual retailers.
Card acceptance is the go-to option for millions of merchants, but not all. For others, particularly those selling large-ticket items like automobiles, furniture and jewelry, check payments are the preferred option. And the combination of remote check capture and guarantee services can now render checks faster and safer than most any other payment. In fact, many banks and financial technology firms are providing same-day availability on check deposits, for a fee.
As Paul H. Green (founder of The Green Sheet) explained to me many years ago: merchants just want to sell stuff. The method of payment doesn't matter; they'd accept puka shells if there were sufficient value attached. And this brings me to an important consideration: the value of unified, interoperable payment offerings cannot be ignored.
"What was once an industry based on a simple cash register in the store has now grown to encompass multiple channels, alternative payment options, always-on service and inventory availability, and an extremely well-informed consumer," Boston Retail Partners wrote in a 2016 report detailing its 17th annual POS/customer engagement survey. The number one priority for merchants: unified commerce, cited by 85 percent of merchants surveyed, BRP said. This far outstripped payment and data security, which was cited as a priority by just 38 percent of respondents.
Payments is just one piece of the retail ecosystem, albeit an important piece. No merchant wants to turn away customers, but by not offering a mix of payment options that meets customer preferences, that's what merchants may be doing. ISOs and MLSs can and should help merchants implement the right mix of payment options for their customers. Traditional credit and debit cards likely always will be in that mix, but the days of building a book of business by undercutting competitors on interchange pricing, or handing out free terminals, are over. So put on your consultant's hat and help your customers make the most of the changing payments landscape.

Petratos pounced and hit a decisive volley after a defensive mix-up in the Suns back-line which led to the Sky Blues? first goal.
Drama struck though during extra-time as the Suns faithful had something to cheer about when Sash Tirovski played a neat ball to Marino Musumeci who tapped in from close range after a blunder in the Sydney FC defence that led to the home team?s equaliser.
?I haven?t played a full match for about two months now so I?m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and doing my best for the Sharks.?
Playing a couple of seasons, albeit with very short breaks during the previous NSW State League campaigns, has surely seen a number of changes both for and in the lad and he readily admits this is the case: ?The pace of the game is faster in the A-League and physically and mentally tougher so I have been hardened to a higher standard for want of a better term but being back at Sutherland is like coming home really as most of the players are still here and I just want to do my best for the team and let the A-League side of things sort themselves out so I can concentrate on my football.
?I hope I can impose the experience in games I?ve learnt and adopt the same attitude to matches I?ve always had hopefully carry on in the right manner.?
The differences are plain to see going from part-time football to full-time training although missing the better part of the 1st half of the A-League season has inured a discipline that has seen him put on a little more muscle and in pre-season games shown a quicker reaction time, better reading of the game and not a little extra pace: ?Yeah, full-time training certainly quickens you up and physically and mentally makes you sharper so hopefully I can put that to good use.?
Sutherland Sharks took on another powerhouse NSW Premier League side and reigning Champions in Blacktown City for the season opener at Seymour Shaw Park and he wasn?t about to underestimate them: ?They are always a hard team to play and have lost a couple of players and with a new coach they are unlikely to be any easier to beat this season than any other and we are usually quite slow starters but we?ll look for the three points and if we do the right things we can certainly get them but I am expecting a tough first game back.?
The match however went the home side?s way with Nikas playing an influential role alongside the likes of Nick Stavroulakis, Jim Bakis, Matt Bailey and Sam Awad with a 2-1 victory at the Sharks palace.
Nikas, for all the ups and downs of A-League experiences during the last two summers, has returned the same level headed and delightful young man he has always been and that surely goes down to his parents who are equally endearing and no doubt wishing Panni all the best for the campaign, as all fans will be.
The NSW Premier League is all the better for the likes of Nikas playing in it and moving on to higher grades which is why, in many cases, it can rival bigger competitions as everyone who plays in it wants to achieve so much more.
The game struggled especially early on to keep spectators entertained.
The best opportunities were with Anthony Hartshorn trying his luck with a shot that ended up wide before Rockdale City almost replied instantly when Kosta Lagoudakis broke free from midfield before firing his shot over the crossbar.
Set pieces proved to be each side?s best friend midway through the first stanza of play: A.P.I.A.-Leichhardt were first to try their luck when a lovely David D?Apuzzo corner made its way to Nicola Rizzo who forced the goalkeeper Dion Shaw into a convincing save just under the crossbar.
Rockdale?s reply was equally dangerous when an Adem Kir corner was beautifully floated into Joshua Lawson who fired his header just wide of the intended target.
Another set piece almost rewarded the Tigers when Robbie Younis? free-kick forced Shaw into another good save low down.
In the 36? minute A.P.I.A.-Leichhardt could really have taken the lead when a long ball, that should have been easy prey, was terribly dribbled in an attempted clearance by Shaw.
The resulting error gifted Hartshorn the ball but, by the time he rounded the goalkeeper, his weak shot which still seemed certain to go over the line was wonderfully intercepted by Giorgio Speranza off his own line to save Rockdale?s bacon and Shaw?s blushes.
A late free-kick from Younis was once again unable to penetrate Shaw?s resilience and poise between the posts and, as such, the first-half finished goalless.
It didn?t take too long in the second-half for Rockdale City to break the goal drought when Kir fired in a rocket from approximately 30-metres that was never going to miss the back of the net, leaving Jose Bello-Amigo stupefied between the posts.
It may not be goal of the season given that it is only Round 1, but it will surely go close.
The home side should really have extended the lead shortly afterwards when Steven Veleski was gifted a great ball that allowed him to charge freely, but unfortunately at the crucial moment with only Jose Bello-Amigo to beat, he pulled his shot across the face of the goal and just wide of the posts.
It was the lucky break A.P.I.A.-Leichhardt needed, and perhaps deserved, because only minutes later the ball bobbled its way into the box.
Franco Parisi, ever the opportunist, made no mistake in slotting the ball home.
Another Younis free-kick shaved the posts shortly afterwards before the home side missed two clear cut chances later on.
Firstly, Sash Trajcevski headed just wide before replacement Jeffrey Issa was thwarted by an out-coming Bello Amigo.
?I thought we went alright given that APIA were a top five team from last year,? he said.
?I thought we handled their attack well and we had to get men behind the ball, that?s why we played with five in the backline to break out in the counter [attack].
?Adem Kir scored a great goal and 5? minutes later we had a clear break away with Veleski and we didn?t score with a one-on-one. If we had have gone 2-0 up, the game was over.
?We set the game up great but our execution wasn?t there at times. However, for a team that?s only about fifty percent of last year?s squad, and I have only been here five weeks, there is more positives out it than negatives.?
?Look, at the end of the day, we want to make the play-offs, like all teams, so once a team is in the five there is every opportunity to go on and win a Grand Final.
?There?s a good character in this club and the Board [of Directors] and the committee is very progressive, so it?s all good.?
?I thought that obviously we were the better team even though we didn?t play that well today, but we did create four to five clear-cut chances,? he stated.
?I think we started three weeks too late and the boys are still picking up their fitness, but today?s ground was heavy to play on.
?The positives are that the whole back four and goalkeeper were exceptional and didn?t put a foot wrong all game and also David D?Apuzzo had a great game.?
?I think every team should expect to finish first, otherwise they shouldn?t bother to go into the competition, so obviously we are aiming for that position.
?It?s either first or nothing for us,? he concluded.
Meanwhile, in the Grade 20s A.P.I.A.-Leichhardt started the season with a convincing 3-1 win over the home side, Rockdale City Suns.
Rockdale City Suns FC: 22.Dion Shaw; 7.Peter Apolevski, 23.Askin Oygur, 10.Sash Trajcevski, 6.Joshua Lawson, 13.Giorgio Speranza, 4.Kosta Lagoudakis (11.Adem Kir 13?), 8.Dominic Hudap, 3.Shay Spitz (19.Marino Musumeci 88?), 9.Jason Naidovski (5.Jeffrey Issa 74?), 12.Steven Veleski.
Yellow Cards: Hartshorn 81?, Parisi 83?
All players from the Under 13?s right through till the senior squad received new uniforms which included bags, strips and tracksuits for what the club has described as a big year for all involved.
The Suns senior squad, coached by Lee Sterrey, once again gave the captain?s armband to long serving player Peter Apolevski.
The evening also saw the club’s major sponsor Gregory Jewellers present Suns President Zak Agioski with a $60,000 cheque for the season.
The Suns? first match for 2011 will be their clash against the APIA Leichhardt Tigers on Sunday 27th March at Ilinden Sports Centre with kick-off set for 3pm.
The Asian Football Confederation has indefinitely postponed Sydney FC?s 2011 AFC Champions League Group H match against the Kashima Antlers that was originally scheduled for Wednesday 16 March in the wake of the devastating situation currently occurring in Japan.
The Sky Blues next AFC match will be at the Sydney Football Stadium on Wednesday 6 April against Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua (8pm kick-off).
In the lead up to the Shanghai clash Sydney FC will take on the Suns led by new coach Lee Sterrey at the Rockdale Illinden Sports Centre on Wednesday 30 March (7:30pm kick-off).
Tickets for the friendly against Rockdale can be purchased at the gate.
?It is important we have a match before our game against Shanghai. We have had many intense training sessions including playing games between ourselves but the game against Rockdale will give us a good hit out,? Sydney FC coach Vitezslav Lavicka said.
?We have pretty much a full squad available so we can give everyone some time. That is an option but I expect I will play my full strength team for much of the game so we are ready for the Champions League game.
Sydney FC will be without captain Terry McFlynn for the match against Shanghai. The club is yet to hear whether McFlynn will face further sanctions.

By Guest Columnist LEE BIOLA, president of Citizens for Progressive Transit and a worker’s compensation lawyer.
Georgia built a world class public transportation system. Georgia destroyed a world class transportation system. Georgia can build a world class transit system again.
It was 1836. Georgia legislators sitting in Augusta voted to fund a taxpayer subsidized rail line out in the middle of nowhere. They wanted the line to run from one obscure dot on the map to another.
It was the best investment the people of Georgia ever made.
One of those dots on the map became Atlanta. The other became Chattanooga.
The tax-subsidized rail line helped transform tiny communities into economic powerhouses. Following the state’s investment in rail, for-profit rail companies built lines into Atlanta from every direction.
Passenger rail lines ran to places like Savannah, Brunswick, and Valdosta. In the early twentieth century, Georgia communities as small as Albany and St. Simons Island had electric streetcars. Electric streetcars would meet you at the train station in towns across Georgia and take you where you needed to go. Streetcar lines were the skeletons on which Georgia communities grew.
In the 1880s, Joel Hurt, a private developer bought up land between Atlanta and Decatur. Hurt used private money to build the city’s first electric streetcar in 1890. He ran the tracks from downtown Atlanta to his land in the middle of nowhere. The tracks quickly made his rural property very valuable. The streetcar line allowed him to sell his land at a sizable profit to people who built mansions, houses, and businesses in the neighborhood that became Inman Park.
By the 1920s, developers like Hurt had created 25 electric streetcar lines running throughout the city of Atlanta. Atlantans could ride the streetcar downtown and connect to streetcar lines that took them to other neighborhoods. They could take commuter rail lines that took them to suburbs such as Chamblee and Smyrna. They could take passenger rail to Macon or Savannah or express trains to New Orleans, New York and elsewhere in North America.
Georgia had a world class transportation system.
So what happened? In 1916, Georgia legislators made a major change of course. Following the federal government’s lead, Georgia created a Department of Highways that could only subsidize travel by car.
Massive subsidies for cars could not immediately kill private rail companies. But decades of that policy eventually did.
In the 1940s zoning laws began to force businesses to set aside land for free parking. The costs were passed on to customers whether they owned cars or not. Streets were widened and sidewalks were left unbuilt. While transportation officials made car travel priority number one, the commercial rail system and walkable communities that depended on it withered.
The federal government began a massive tax subsidized highway interstate building program in the 1950s. This was the nail in the coffin for for-profit transit systems, and the beginning of the end for commercial intercity passenger trains.
The effect on Georgia cities was devastating. While metro Atlanta outside the city limits became the fastest growing settlement in human history, its core, the City of Atlanta, actually began to shrink.
New highways were attracting development to the countryside around Atlanta. The Department of Highways completed I-285 in 1969. During the 1970s, the core City of Atlanta lost nearly 15% of its population.
Like Georgia legislators of 1836, Fulton and DeKalb County voters decided it was once again time to invest tax dollars in rail. They voted to raise a one cent sales tax to fund the MARTA rail system.
The first MARTA rail stations opened in 1979. With some rail service in the 1980s, the core city’s population loss slowed to 7%. As the MARTA system and the communities around it began to mature in the 1990s, Atlanta’s population began to grow again. The MARTA rail system made it possible for Atlanta to host the 1996 Olympics.
The last MARTA station opened in 2000. From 2000 to 2008, the core City of Atlanta’s population exploded 29%. One look at the city’s skyline shows where much of the new development went: right along the MARTA line. Of metro Atlanta’s twenty-five tallest buildings, twenty have been built since 1979. Every single one of those buildings is walking distance from a MARTA station.
Savannah is the most recent Georgia city to invest in rail. It opened a small streetcar line in February 2009 that has grown in popularity during its first year. City officials there are expanding hours of operation because they have found that the rail line, like so many rail lines before it, is attracting economic activity to places it would not otherwise go.
Previous generations of Georgians invested in rail. They showed it can be done right here. We are the heirs of these investments and we benefit from this inheritance every day. To whom much is given, much is expected. We have a responsibility to expand our investment in rail for future generations just as previous generations did for us.
Lee Biola has been a champion of public transit through his role as president of the Citizens for Progressive Transit. Here is Cfpt’s vision for transit. Biola also wanted to highlight the Transit Planning Board’s Concept 3 plan for a regional network of transit.
Lastly, to show how much we’ve lost, here is a map of all the transit lines that existed in Atlanta in the 1940s: (just keep clicking on the links).
Our shared story — are those things that make us New Englanders or southerners more connected than we may think?
I love rail. But the fact checker in me finds the commentary below completely dubious. The cause and effect is suspect. Atlantic Station, Atlanta’s largest new development isn’t on a MARTA line at all. Many of the other buildings in Central Perimeter were built prior to the line extension there. While no one doubts that transit increases the potential for density and efficiency, the reality is Atlanta has grown significantly for a list of reasons completely exclusive of MARTA. But I’m all for more (dedicated right of way) transit. The old map is nifty.
“Yr1215”, You are correct in that Atlantic Station is not actually built directly on a rail line that is currently used for local or regional passenger transport. Atlantic Station’s developer, Charles Brown invisioned having a light rail line run thru the development to connect it to Arts Center Station. I’ve had several conversations with Mr. Brown on this very subject. He informed me that he had the south edge of the deck, along Seventeenth Street specifically designed to structurally handle light-rail transit trackage and trains. It is my understanding that this also applies to the structure of the Seventeenth Street Bridge. Obviously, that line has not yet been built, but it is included as a component of the Concept3 Transit Master Plan. In fact Atlantic Station figures prominently in the Concept3 plan on several lines. It could be legitimately argued that if Mr. Brown’s group had put up a down payment for the first segment of the line that perhaps that portion could have been built. I do not know that he didn’t offer to do just that; but, as we know too well, having funding up front is by no means guarantee in Georgia that there will be matching funding from the state. I must point out however, that Lee Biola’s point that all of the largest area projects were built within walking distance to a MARTA station holds true even for Atlantic Station. My last job in Atlanta was located at the corner of Peachtree and Seventeenth Streets. My coworkers and I would routinely walk past Arts Center Station, and cross the Seventeenth Street Bridge to have lunch in Atlantic Station. True, the bridge presents a large exposed obstacle for pedestrians; especially on hot summer or cold windy winter days, but people do walk it or bike it. Also, there is a regular and frequent shuttle service linking all points within the development to Arts Center Station. This indespensible and heavily used service is provided by the development for the Atlantic Station residents, workers, and those who frequent the business establishments.
This editorial concerns me deeply. I have always believed that progressives who advocate for things like smart growth, public transportation and other urban issues have done so from a place of facts and real analysis rather than ideology, ignorance, racism or other nonsense. This piece disturbs me because we are now crossing the line with many spurious and revisionist connections between history and reality. Georgia railroad development was linked to some of the worst unethical, illegal, corrupt and criminal activities in the history of state government. The Trail of Tears as well as slavery played a large role in the development of the early Georgia rail system. Franchise agreements and the taking of land by private corporations were a big theme. While there were certainly economic benefits to the railroad network and it can be used as a basis for a new rail passenger system, let’s not claim that it was built out of an ideal or destroyed entirely out of subsidies for cars. The railroads themselves played no small role in the elimination of many passenger services.
The depopulation of the city had to do with school desegregation and white flight than it did with the state of the transit system. Again a spurious cause and effect.
This article is great, and makes lots of good points. I just wish that it recognized that many of them apply to much-needed bus services as well as much-needed rail.
I’m not one of those who says that rail should be usurped by buses, or that buses are always more efficient for everything, and so on and so forth, but I do believe that each mode has its place in a well-developed transit system.
I have to take issue with the rail focus of this article, for this reason. Buses are an important part of Atlanta’s transit history, present, and future. The Atlanta 1940 Streetcar Map is, in fact, a map of a multi-modal transit system. Every red line on that map is a bus. Every dashed green line is a trackless trolley (electric bus). Like the system we once had, the MARTA system as we know it is a multi-modal system too, with buses feeding rail lines. And, not that you could tell from Mr. Biola’s article, the MARTA sales tax was passed to fund not just the rail system, but the bus system too.
It’s also important to note that in MARTA’s current financial crisis, the bus system is slated for a major reduction – as a result in the decline of receipts of that very tax.
There are, and will continue to be, places that rail – heavy, light, commuter or streetcar – can’t go or wouldn’t make sense. It is simply not smart, nor feasible, to leave bus transit out of the discussion. It is also not smart, nor informed, to imply that a great transit system relies only on forms of rail service.
It is not the Progressives who are revising history. Lee Biola is simply pointing out that the system was at one time in place; it worked well, and served Atlanta well. Then we squandered it. How it came to be is valid history, and it should be understood and honestly taught in our schools. To take your argument to its conclusion, everything that is Atlanta, everything that is now Georgia and America was once the domain of the Native Americans. That includes space that you now occupy, and lay down at night; and also the space where you work. Should all that be dismantled for the manner in which it entered our domain? Perhaps so, but it will not. We should still try to make Atlanta the best place possible for modern day Atlantans, while still seeking to understand our honest and unfiltered history; if that is possible.
I think atllin83 made an excellent point. World-class transit systems are more than just great rail systems. They are multimodal systems with multiple layers of service (intercity rail, urban heavy rail, tram/streetcar, and bus). While these systems are common throughout Europe and becoming increasingly so in Asia, only our largest cities (NYC, Boston, Chicago and LA) and Portland are close to even achieving true multimodal systems.
CFPT’s World-class transit plan was a start for Atlanta but only had a smattering of BRT corridors. Concept3 takes the bus expansion concept a step further; however, it generally misses the target by identifying far too many nonsensical suburb to suburb routes. Most of the Arterial BRT routes are reasonable and were actually part of a bus-centric plan that GRTA shelved almost a decade ago.
I truly respect the transit advocates and their unwavering support for something that’s a necessity for this region. They just need a reality check. Look, this region and state are seriously broken. MARTA has serious problems. Sonny’s transportation plan as it currently stands and if it ever makes it out of court, will never make it through a referendum. Any positive change that Barnes can bring regarding transportation is a few years off. Bold actions are only going to come in small measures. ARC or a “coalition of the willing” will need to pick a couple of projects and find a way to make them real. If Cobb or Gwinnett want LRT anytime in the near future, they’ll need to increase their millage rates/sales taxes to improve their background bus services and get it going. Maybe GDOT will then, god-willing, come along and connect them via I-285. On a smaller scale, if Atlanta wants a streetcar project, it’s going to need to at least put up a local match to get federal assistance.
I recently downloaded the updated version of this to see if a clarification now finally existed. To my dismay, despite its’ title, the document’s contents seem to simply reinforce the vagueness.
We’ve run into this issue several times in transit advocacy in Atlanta especially during the FTA mandated Alternatives Analysis phase of a planned project, such as the Belt-line. In this case, MARTA planners presented elaborate photos of some of the most sophisticated systems in the world. One of the images, most impressive to the viewing audience was an artist rendering of a BRT system, which I’m not sure where it was supposed to be or if it even exist(see similar image at http://ti.org/EugeneBRTFantasy400.jpg.). The tires of this train-like vehicle were moving on track-like parallel narrow concrete running pads, with turf in-between for each bus-way suggesting something other being manually guided. However, we later witnessed MARTA referring to the operation of standard city buses operating on slightly modified freeway emergency service aprons as BRT. It was when we sought to call them on this, and we researched for an official BRT definition that we discovered that a definition that we could hold them to didn’t actually exist. The bait-and-switch routine is very easy if you provide a vague definition. For this reason I and others will always be dubious when BRT is matched up against rail-based modes as an alternative transit mode.
Some of our streetcar history was recently unearthed during the current renovation of the streets and sidewalks on the Marietta Square. Just 4 inches beneath the street surface lay the streetcar tracks. I had seen pictures of the streetcar in the Square, but seeing this physical evidence of that long gone service was a bit overwhelming. The streetcar line was probably forgotten by most Cobb voters when they turned down MARTA.
I believe Concerned Transit Advocate is correct in his history. And I didn’t need to dig up any streets to know that the tracks are still there.
I’m impressed that CTA is considering the past as he looks to the future.
CCTgirl, do you mean we need to discover some new sort of transportation rather than use steel wheels on steel rails(swosr)? I’m not sure what you are saying. But using swosr as a method of transportation gives the tightest concentration of passengers and the longest lasting vehicle and the best chance of getting to the destination on time. When a highway is moving smoothly, you have one point one persons (Atlantans have only one car in 10 with more than one person) for every 50 or so feet of lane. With lanes being 10.5 feet wide, that means that one person takes up 525 square feet of space. In a railcar, a person sits in a seat which takes up roughly 1.5 feet wide and three feet between seat backs for a 4.5 square foot space. Buses take up the same space per person but do not last nearly as long as rail cars nor are they able to bypass traffic but must ride out most stop and go situations.

Naz Reid led the Tigers in scoring with 26 points, while Ja'Vonte Smart added 13, and Tremont Waters put in 9. Naz Reid also had 14 rebounds to register the double-double.
LSU spent the day in foul trouble, with 24 personal fouls compared to only 10 for Florida. The Gators had plenty of time working in the bonus, making 16 of the 26 free throws they had. LSU took advantage from the free throw line, when they got a chance, making 7 of their 11 attempts.
The Tigers were able to out rebound Florida 42 to 35, but LSU also turned the ball over more, with 13 turnovers.
Next up for LSU is the NCAA Tournament, which they're almost certainly guaranteed a spot. But this loss will probably eliminate any chance they had of landing a 2 seed, and hurt their case for a 3 seed. LSU will find out their seed, destination, and opponent on Sunday.

Johnson said that schools and universities should expect students to remove face coverings if they turn up "looking like a bank robber".
If Mr Johnson's comments are found to have breached the party code of conduct, he may face a string of punitive measures. His Brexiteer credentials were bolstered when he resigned as foreign secretary in July, accusing May of killing "the Brexit dream" with her plan to seek close economic ties with the bloc after Brexit next year.
'All jokes about religion cause offence, so it's pointless apologising for them. "On that basis, no apology is required", he wrote, in a letter to the Times. It is, however, a nefarious component of a trendy gateway theology for religious extremism and militant Islam.
"The burqa and niqab are ugly tribal ninja-like garments that are pre-Islamic, non-Koranic and therefore un-Muslim", he wrote in The Times.
But Atkinson, in a letter to The Times, said the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip had just been telling a joke.
Theresa May was 14 points ahead of Jeremy Corbyn, up seven points on last week, on the question of who would make the best prime minister.
"We are not bound by collective responsibility or that type of discipline and it is the wrong approach to party discipline".
Boris Johnson could be told to go on a diversity training course instead of facing more severe sanctions for his comments over Burkas, The Telegraph has learned. What about metaphor or simile?
A Conservative MP has said it is a "very dark day" for United Kingdom democracy and free speech over the independent investigation into Boris Johnson's comments about the burqa.
"I think people are whipping up a little mountain out of a molehill on this one, I really do".
Mr Mitchell, who was chief whip in 2012, told BBC Two's Newsnight: "I don't think he should apologise".
"This is quite an important issue about free speech and it's got nothing to do with the terrible events that take place over Enoch Powell and the Rivers of Blood speech".
He added: "But let's look at what Boris said: he expressed himself in quite colourful language".
The letter also said that Johnson's choice of Islamophobic words was deliberate and "was made to inflame tensions in a way that makes it easier for bigots to justify hate crime against us", adding further support to Tory peer Lord Sheik's request that Johnson lose the party whip, meaning he would no longer represent the party. "We've got to be able to have this debate".

When my daughter turned six months old we started weaning her onto solid foods – it’s a very daunting process if you have never done it before so I’m going to share a bit about my experience and a few tips.
There’s a huge amount of information out there about the two options – feeding purees, or baby-led weaning, which means giving your baby pieces of soft food and allowing to feed themselves. You can also do a combination of both.
We decided to do both but start with purees, for various reasons. I went to a session run by the local children’s services on weaning and they recommended purees, and said they don’t recommend baby-led weaning as it takes a lot longer before the babies are actually eating anything much. I think there were a few other reasons as well which I can’t remember). Obviously there are pros and cons to each approach and some people swear by baby-led weaning (BLW), but we decided we would rather do purees to begin.
At the session I attended we were advised to skip smooth purees and go straight to purees with soft lumps or at least a bit more texture – but I got a bit trigger happy with my blender and made smooth purees. So after the first couple of weeks I started adding in other textures – I’ll write more about this later.
Annabel Karmel is one of the leading figures in baby weaning and has written dozens of books and also lent her name to a range of feeding equipment. I bought a couple of her books second hand and used those for a lot of the background information on where to start, and some of the recipes. I’m not going to repeat all of that information here, but will share some of the things I found most useful.
Ikea Antilop high chair with tray, £14 (yes, only £14, and it’s really good) plus Ikea’s matching Klammig cushion and cover (£6).
Top tip: If you have a removable cover for the padded insert in your high chair, buy two. I wish I had because that way one could be in the wash while the other was in use.
Annabel Karmel food cube tray – you can use an ordinary ice cube tray to freeze portions of purees but I liked this as it has a lid to stop spills before the puree is frozen and is made of soft silicon so it’s easy to pop the cubes out.
Tommee Tippee First Cup – the mini moo found these easy to drink out of, though I haven’t been able to get her to hold the cup while she drinks yet. They have leak proof lids, but are free flow which is better for their teeth than ones with a valve. These come in a pack of two which is good if you haven’t gotten around to washing one up and need to use another!
Sistema microwave small steamer – perfect for quickly steaming small amounts of vegetables.
Munchkin stay put suction bowl – a pack of three bowls in different sizes which stick to the tray of the high chair or table with suction so your little one can’t knock them on the floor. Remember you need plastic spoons not metal ones as well.
I already had a blender so didn’t feel the need to buy a special baby food one; a potato masher is also fine to use.
A mat to go under the high chair – you can use anything for this, even cut open a bin liner. You can buy fairly expensive mats but my mum got me a couple of wipe-clean ones from the pound shop.
A flannel – to wipe baby’s face rather than use wet wipes as you would get through loads otherwise.
The advice I read was to start with simple vegetable purees and introduce other tastes and combinations gradually.
Cow and Gate baby food – I bought a few jars in readiness before we started weaning though was surprised at just how smooth the puree is; I preferred the more grainy texture of my homemade purees. I decided to use them anyway and was quite disappointed that the mini moo really didn’t seem to like the first flavour I gave her – cauliflower cheese. The next one, ‘my first bolognese’, was a lot more successful, and she also really liked the pumpkin and chicken flavour.
Sophie has taken to solid (well, pureed) foods really well, and apart from the pure strawberry (when it wasn’t mixed with baby porridge) and the cauliflower cheese jar, she has enjoyed her food, leaning forwards and opening her mouth for more. She still eats fairly small portion sizes – some days more than others so I’m still throwing a fair bit away, but making your own puree especially when it’s just vegetables is fairly inexpensive.
The next stage is to introduce lumpier textures, more combinations of flavours and figure how to start baby-led weaning as well. I’m not convinced that if Sophie had pieces of food in front of her that she would know what to do with them – so if you have any advice or experience to share, please do so in the comments!
Is it worth buying the Nuna Leaf chair?

Before trusting Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord I thought, if there was really a hell, that only a very few infamous people would end up there. And it was hard to imagine that anyone would suffer in a literal hell forever. After all, even an evil man like Adolf Hitler must have had some redeeming goodness. I wrongly believed that the vast majority of people, including myself of course, while not perfect, are basically good enough to go to heaven.
But the truth is that very few are justified by faith in Christ, saved from God's wrath and will have eternal life in heaven; For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
True saving faith is demonstrated not only by what we say, but by what we do; But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:18) No one is saved by their works. Salvation is by faith alone in the finished work of Christ. But saving faith, if it is real, will produce good works pleasing to God.
The Apostle Paul said that we ought to examine ourselves to be sure that we have not been deceived about our salvation; Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you-- unless indeed you fail the test?
Have you entered through the narrow gate? If so, you will be also walking on the narrow road that leads to eternal life in heaven. Maranatha!

If large three-row CUV practicality with a fair measure of Mazda "Zoom-Zoom" character might be your cup of tea, take a look at the 2010 Mazda CX-9. Its combination of sporty looks, eager performance and people and cargo capacity should impress you.
If your needs include a greater level of off-road prowess or heavier cargo and towing capability, one of many less sporty but more powerful and capable SUVs on the market would be a better choice.
For 2010, the CX-9 receives a slight exterior and interior refresh, gaining the company's new signature front end, large side mirrors and a new headlamp/fog light design.
The CX-9's interior upholds the exterior's sporting character but with more luxury touches than the less expensive CX-7. Its instrument panel has quad chrome-ringed gauges under a prominent hood and a logically laid-out audio and climate control area bounded by rich wood spears plunging from dash-top to floor and mirroring similar pieces in the door panels. The three-spoke steering wheel, contoured front bucket seats and two-tone trim say "sports car" more than "SUV," while blue indirect lighting adds an upscale glow at night. The 60/40 second-row seat reclines and slides forward to enhance third-row access, and both it and the 50/50 third seat fold flat into the floor, like many CUVs in this class, the CX-9's third row seat is best suited for children or diminutive adults.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is well dressed for its role as the bigger brother of Mazda's CX-7 sport CUV. Its look is Mazda sporty, with a signature five-point grille over a wide, aggressive bumper, wrap-around headlights and a broad-shouldered tail with curving tail lights and twin trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips. One nice touch is a full-width chrome strip across the top of the black-out grille opening, which flows across the top of the large, centered Mazda logo and is mirrored again in the lower grille opening. Long rear doors allow easy access to the third-row seats, although it's still a bit of squeeze for adults venturing rearward.
A lightly-loaded 2010 CX-9 does a creditable job of living up to Mazda's "Zoom-Zoom" marketing promise with its rigid unibody chassis, low-friction MacPherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension, precise engine-speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering and stabilizer bars at both ends. Despite its substantial size and weight, it acquits itself surprisingly well on curvy country roads and rides smoothly and quietly at freeway speeds. With more people and cargo aboard, it is understandably less athletic and loses some performance, but it remains a satisfying ride. Unlike many three-row CUVs, there is ample adult-size room in all seating positions and 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
With just one engine and transmission combination, the 2010 Mazda CX-9 starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just over $30,000, while all-wheel-drive adds another $1,400 to the bottom line. A fully loaded Grand Touring can climb as high as $40,000. That places it higher than the five-passenger Ford Edge and about even with the three-row Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot. Active Torque-Split all-wheel drive is an extra-cost option. The good news is that the CX-9, although slightly more expensive than many of its competitors, is projected to retain a higher resale value than the Edge and Traverse. Be sure to check Fair Purchase Prices to see what buyers are actually paying in your area.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is offered in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The base Sport comes with three-row, seven-passenger seating, front and rear air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM/CD audio and six sets of air bags (front, side and full-length side curtain). Additional safety features include four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The mid-range Touring and top-line Grand Touring add leather trim, power front seats and more.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 has an options list that mimics a premium-level sedan. Major options available on the CX-9 include SIRIUS Satellite Radio, DVD-based touch-screen navigation, Blind Spot Monitoring System, Surround Sound Bose premium audio with a six-CD changer (single disc when combined with navigation), rear DVD entertainment system, keyless entry and start, 4.3-inch view screen with rear backup camera and a power rear liftgate. All-wheel drive is an important functional option.
This versatile center-row seat slides five inches to accommodate long-legged folks either on or behind it. The seat also has reclining backrests, offers easy access to the third row with a one-handed release and folds flat into the floor to optimize cargo room.
On available all-wheel-drive models, sensors signal control modules to send more torque to the axle with the best traction automatically. Up to half the engine's torque can be sent to the rear through a computer-controlled coupling connected to the rear differential.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9's 3.7-liter V6 is a variation of the 3.5-liter engine that powers its American cousins, the Ford Edge, however, the 3.7-liter version is specific to Mazda and Lincoln. It powers the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission, or all four wheels with Mazda's available Active Torque-Split all-wheel-drive.
Car-based "crossover" utility vehicles (CUVs) try to marry the best attributes of passenger cars and SUVs, and these days they are leaving the woods and mountains behind. The goal is to offer a sporty, urban vibe, and none pulls this off better than the 2010 Mazda CX-9. It offers the tough-to-achieve blend of sport sedan and SUV that can corner and carry equally well. Like the smaller Mazda CX-7, the CX-9 is genuinely fun to drive yet still useful on a shopping trip or a family vacation. Of the two, the CX-7 may be a tad sportier, but its larger three-row, seven-passenger CX-9 stablemate, which shares its engine and much of its architecture with Ford's Edge and Lincoln's new MKT, delivers a similar feel while upping the utility quotient considerably.
A perfectly sized, sleek SUV.
The Mazda cx-9 is a comfortable, easy to drive, roomy vehicle that holds 7-8 people and still has room in the far back to put backpacks, etc.. The car seems spacious inside, but not too large like dome oversized SUVs. It is easy to park, and has a helpful rear camera. The sunroof is large and may be easily and quickly opened by pushing a button to slide or vent the sunroof. A helpful sunroom shutter can be used to keep out any unwanted light. There are a few negatives. There is not a navigation system, and the backlight camera sometimes gets water on it and it must be wiped off to see clearly. Also, the cup holders have a small opening, so things can inadvertently slide into the hole with no way to retrieve them. Finally, there is a small strip of plastic on the floor in the 2nd row which is difficult to clean.
The flexibility of the amenities inside of the car are great. Built for lasting!
I have enjoyed my car for years. It rides well in the city and on the highways.The troubles that I have encountered have been the mirrors falling off or turning in while going through car wash. It is spacious and can see a family of six or more. The trunk space is great and it travels well on the highway. We did have an occurrence when The axle broke and the car was resting on the wheel. That was a very scary situation. The car is great on gas and the music from Boise system is wonderful.
Safe vehicle but some electrical issues.
The screen will show an error saying contact dealership. The dealership wants you to get a new system however it eventually starts working again. I feel it is very safe. This is my 2nd. The 1st one was totaled because someone hit me from the side while I was at a stop and it rolled on it is side, but I was not injured. I barely felt the hit. None of the windows shattered. It was only totaled because all the side airbags deployed.

Mike McKenna stole the show for the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
He also helped the Senators make their point.
Led by McKenna’s brilliant 42-save performance, the Senators may have never gotten a point in the first place as the club dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Boston Bruins in front of 13,148 at Canadian Tire Centre.
Torey Krug scored the overtime winner at 3:07 to give the Bruins the victory on a shot McKenna never had a chance on. While McKenna only surrendered a goal to Brad Marchand in regulation, Mark Stone responded for the Senators against Tuukka Rask.
“It was great. We see it in practice all the time and we couldn’t have asked for more from him,” said centre Colin White, who set up Stone’s only goal.
Making only his sixth appearance in the net since being called up from Belleville of the American Hockey League, McKenna was strong. He gave the club a chance to win and that’s all the Senators want from their backup when they decided to give No. 1 netminder Craig Anderson a rare rest.
The shots were 14-4 for Boston in the third period and that was when McKenna was at his best in his first home start.
“I felt like myself and I felt like I did a lot of good work leading up to this to be ready for it,” said McKenna, who made a two-pad stack on Sean Kuraly in OT. “That’s a credit to our goalie coach (Pierre Groulx) and my teammates.
Coming off a 2-1 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, both of these National Hockey League teams were in back-to-back situations. The Bruins didn’t arrive until early Sunday morning after a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at home.
The challenge was difficult for the Senators. The club is playing without six regulars because of injuries and head coach Guy Boucher warned that Boston has dominated Ottawa the last 18 months.
Boucher was happy the Senators walked away with three of four points in the two games.
“I thought our players in general, if you look at the whole weekend, and put it in perspective, not a lot of people thought we’d get a single point this weekend with big teams coming in,” Boucher said.
Through 40 minutes, this was a tough battle with the shots 27-23 in favour of Boston and the score tied 1-1. McKenna was equal to the task and did a good job while Rask came up with some stops as the Senators pushed hard to make sure this game was even.
The Senators were forced to play most of the second period with only five defencemen after Ben Harpur was given 17 minutes in penalties for dropping the gloves with Boston’s Sean Kuraly.
The Bruins tied it up on the power play when Marchand fired home his eighth of the season at 7:49 of the second. Standing in the circle, he beat McKenna on the glove side and that was the first goal with the man advantage the club had allowed in four games.
The Senators held a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Outshot 12-11 by the Bruins, McKenna was equal to the task the Senators didn’t give up a lot of great scoring chances. The first period ended with a 5-on-3 power play for Ottawa, but the club couldn’t complete it in the second.
Stone opened the scoring by taking a perfect feed from White, beating Rask on the stick side at 12:51 of the first. White showed a burst of speed to help set up the odd-man rush with the Bruins caught up ice and Stone easily scored his 15th of the season.
The Senators’ depth is being put to the test.
While blueliner Christian Jaros is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, the club was also without veteran defenceman Dylan DeMelo, who may not make the three-game road trip that begins Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators.
DeMelo is out with an upper-body injury that may have taken place in the first period on a hit from Pittsburgh’s Riley Sheahan. DeMelo finished the game but the club was forced to recall Erik Burgdoerfer Sunday morning and he suited up against the Bruins.
“I’d like to tell you he’s day-to-day, but we don’t know if he’s coming on the trip. We’ll see,” Boucher said before the game. “He played through it, which is a statement to his character because we needed it and he knew it, but now it’s getting a little worse.
The Senators leave Monday to open a three-game road trip in Nashville and after the game Boucher indicated DeMelo wouldn’t be on the road. The Senators will recall a forward and a blueliner from the club’s AHL affiiate in Belleville before they leave.
Losing DeMelo is a big hit. Acquired in the deal that sent Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks in September, DeMelo has been a strong addition. He has been a solid defensive partner for Thomas Chabot and averages 18:53 minutes per game.
“He’s done a very good job. He’s a great person, he’s great to have around the room and he’s very smart,” Boucher said. “He’s one of those guys that makes the environment better so losing him, hopefully it won’t be for too many games.
The club is already without forwards Matt Duchene, Bobby Ryan and Jean-Gabriel Pageau along with blueliner Mark Borowiecki. He missed his ninth straight game Sunday night and there’s no timetable for his return either.
When it rains, it pours on the injury front especially after losing Duchene and Ryan on Thursday against the Habs.
“That’s the NHL,” Boucher said, “especially on defence. You think you have a lot of (defencemen) and, all of a sudden, they fall like flies. Once you lose top-end guys, it makes a big difference.
As for Jaros, he may not be out long and could make the trip but play later in the week.
“It’s not something big but he can’t play,” Boucher said.
Ryan Dzingel slid a perfect pass to Cody Ceci in alone and he missed the net with just over a minute left in the second. That could have made a difference.
Defenceman Thomas Chabot played 29:21 because of the shortage on the blueline with DeMelo and Jaros out. Tierney, who has been elevated into Duchene’s spot, led all forwards in ice time with 22:39.
This turned into a chippy affair and Zack Smith is never afraid to get his nose dirty in these kinds of games. He caught Boston blueliner Torey Krug with a big hit behind the Bruins’ net midway through the second. This is the kind of game it was.
Referee Chris Schlenker needed some attention from Ottawa athletic therapist Dom Nicoletta late in the third. After Ryan Dzingel hit Brad Marchand, he took Schlenker out at the knees. He continued in the game after the television timeout.
Ben Harpur dropped the gloves seven minutes into the second and Sean Kuraly bit off more than he can chew. Harpur caught Kuraly a couple of times and there was blood on the ice that had to be cleaned up during the television timeout.
The Senators had a 5-on-3 for a minute that started late in the first when Brad Marchand was given an elbowing penalty. He got Max Lajoie in the head while trying to kill off the initial call on Chris Wagner for cross-checking. The Senators weren’t able to capitalize.
With Dylan DeMelo and Christian Jaros sidelined with injuries, that meant changes on the defensive pairings. Top blueliner Thomas Chabot skated with Harpur until he was given 17 minutes in penalties for dropping the gloves with Kuraly.

Our wine in Hungary continued for the third day. We spent the entire day in Tokaj exploring and tasting the sweet Azu wines as well as the new and upcoming dry wines. After leaving our lodging site of Gróf Degenfeld Castle, we visited Kikelit Cellars , Hetszolo Estate Vineyard and Oremus.
At Oremus, a large winery, we saw several carboys aging gallons of Eszencia. Oremus was established by a Spanish company. The winery was named for a vineyard. Grape varieties in the Oremus vineyards include Furmint, Hárslevelü, Sárgamuskotály and Zéta. The cellars of the winery remain a constant 11 to 12 degrees Celsius (52 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit).
As soon as we reached Kikelit, we stopped in a room where the types of soil and rocks from the vineyards were displayed. One drawer displayed fossils, another rocks and stones and then the third displayed artifacts found in the vineyards. Guesses were made as to what some of the items were and well as what the items were used for. It was a quick, fun moment.
Soon we were provided with a tour of the cellar which are about 300 years old, although no one knows exactly. Next we went to the upper level of the building where we were enveloped in a bath of sunshine. Glass windows allow in plenty of light. A door leads to the outside patio which is adjacent to a recently planted demonstration vineyard that will include several grapevines of the grape varieties growing in Tokaj.
Far in advance of reaching the Hetszolo vineyards, we saw a “Hollywood” style sign placed high in the hills of vineyards announcing TOKAJ – HETSZOLO. Arriving at the vineyards, we met American-born Kathryn who provided us with a walk up through the vineyards as she described the organic techniques the winery is currently using.
Kathryn also talked about the history of Hetszolo vineyards and how grapes had been growing here for centuries. At one time the vineyards had been owned by seven separate winegrowers who eventually sold the vineyards to one individual. After the trek through the vineyards, we went into Tokaj where the winery operates a tasting room located over deep cellars that have their own renowned history. Later we went to an upper floor tasting room where it was brighter and a bit warmer. We tasted several of the Hetszolo wines including a phenomenal Tokaji Eszencia which is produced with free run juice from botrytised grapes.
For our wine journey, Day 3 was another successful day!
