"Manny's eye is looking at you...over there...and over there..."
(Photo by Andy Clark, Reuters)
Manny Malhotra's return has been labelled many things, mostly miraculous; whatever you want to call it, there are still things about his condition which should be pointed out. As someone who has dealt with (and still deals with) a serious vision issue, your esteemed author is in a position to shed some light on Malhotra's future. Whether he is able to play in the coming weeks or just next fall is less important, the long term changes in his reaction speed to events to his left will be. Malhotra has sustained an injury to his eye which will take a long time to heal, no matter how well he has progressed these past few months.

The Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins both ended some serious droughts by making it to the Stanley Cup Final. Now, one of these two teams will end an even longer drought. Canucks fans are well aware of the fact that the Canucks have not yet won hockey's biggest prize in their 40-year history. However, the Bruins haven't won the Stanley Cup since the year AFTER the Canucks joined the league.
Two long suffering fans bases. Two teams that have some serious itches to scratch. Which team will raise Lord Stanley's Cup after decades of waiting?

Today is a day of mixed emotions for me.
I wrote this article two years ago, and re-posted it today, anticipating that I would have to change some things around. But as I read it again, I have nothing to change. My emotions remain the same. The only difference is that my youngest daughter is now three years old, and has started pre-school. In reality, I am probably more emotional about Luc's passing now, knowing that Canucks are battling for hockey's ultimate prize and knowing that Luc would want nothing more than to be in that room, battling with them.
But something tells me that Luc Bourdon never left that dressing room. He's right there with them all.

Allegheny County lawyers: Pro bono work key part of the job
Jonathan McAnney gets paid to defend businesses when they're sued in civil court, but he gets just as much out of working for free.
"That pro bono client is no different than a paying client," said McAnney, 50, of Gibsonia, a lawyer at Tucker Arensberg, Downtown. "I don't prioritize my work based upon whether I'm getting paid for it or not."
Thousands of lawyers every year donate their time and legal services to clients who can't afford to pay for it on their own, and lawyers and nonprofits recognize pro bono efforts each October. The federal Legal Services Corp. estimates more than 2 million clients nationwide request free legal assistance each year.
"There are thousands and thousands and thousands of people who vitally need legal services but can't afford a lawyer," said state Supreme Court Justice Ronald Castille. "We have legal services agencies that help provide legal services but they're underfunded, so we have to do what we can do to make sure people who need a lawyer have the services of a lawyer."
Attorneys who take up pro bono cases generally deal with issues facing the poor, such as landlord/tenant disputes, credit card debts and bankruptcies. Performing pro bono work is not mandatory in Pennsylvania, but it is listed in the American Bar Association's model rules of professional conduct.
"We feel that lawyers have an ethical duty to provide free legal service for those who can't afford it," said Barbara Griffin, the pro bono coordinator for the Allegheny County Bar Foundation. "Lawyers have a monopoly on professional law, and with that monopoly comes a responsibility."
The Allegheny County Bar Foundation had more than 900 attorneys, law students and paralegals perform thousands of hours of pro bono work in 2011, Griffin said. Diane Krivoniak, a spokeswoman for the Westmoreland Bar Association, said member attorneys provide free work on 400 to 500 cases a year.
Free training sessions are available for attorneys who specialize in one aspect of the law but want to donate their time in a different area.
Attorneys take on pro bono work for a variety of reasons, said Esther Lardent, president and CEO of the Pro Bono Institute in Washington. For many, it can help them network and advance their careers. For others, such as Melaine Rothey, a family lawyer at Jones Gregg Creehan & Gerace, Downtown, volunteering was a part of her childhood.
"I was raised in a home where my parents did a lot of volunteer work, and I brought that into my profession," she said. "I often feel like I've actually helped somebody, and I think the pro bono clients — because they have no idea what they're doing and somebody's willing to do something for them just because it's the right thing to do — really appreciate the help."

The Mystery Of America's "Schrodinger" Middle Class, Which Is Either Thriving Or About To Go ExtinctSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/24/2014 - 09:05
On one hand, the US middle class has rarely if ever had it worse. At least, if one actually dares to venture into this thing called the real world, and/or believes the NYT's report: "Falling Wages at Factories Squeeze the Middle Class." In short, it says that America's manufacturing sector, and thus middle class, is being obliterated: "A new study by the National Employment Law Project, to be released on Friday, reveals that many factory jobs nowadays pay far less than what workers in almost identical positions earned in the past. And then, paradoxically, at almost the same time, there's this from Bloomberg: "Lower-wage workers saw bigger pay gains over the past year than the highest earners, reversing the trend from earlier stages of the recovery." In short: the state of the US middle class is truly in the eyes of the beholder.

Iran Nuclear Talks Extended 7 Months; $700 Million In Monthly Sanctions LiftedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/24/2014 - 08:32
In what is hardly a surprising outcome, the parties involved in the Iran nuclear talks have decided it best for all to extend (and pretend) the discussion for another 7 months:
Diplomatic teams will reconvene in December and the US State Department is proclaiming "good progress" in a brief statement. 7 more months of sanctions, a call with Putin today, and OPEC later in the week... one wonders if any of this will be relevant in 7 months. Additionally, it seems beggars can be choosers as P5+1 says Iran can get $700 million per month in frozen assets back...

There Goes The Shopping Spree: Nor'easter May Hit East Coast For ThanksgivingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/23/2014 - 21:36
Forget Black Friday and Q4 GDP... it appears, from the most recent forecasts that from Wednesday on this week, the eastern US faces a 'White Five-Day' as Accuweather reports "an increasing likelihood for a swath of heavy snow stretching from eastern Pennsylvania through New York's Hudson Valley and across much of New England before all is said and done." Furthermore, as WaPo notes, Wednesday's possible storm has a chance to develop into a legitimate Nor'easter (though current models offer 3 scenarios).

American CEOs Sum Up The Economic Outlook: "Softness, Stagnant, Cautious, Challenging"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/23/2014 - 21:15
Since May, CEO confidence among America's largest companies had stagnated - even as stocks did what they do and rise, rise, rise. That changed when Bullard (now explained as "misunderstood" by the market) set fire to stocks with his QE4 hints and Plunge Protection Team rescue. However, the last 2 weeks have seen a noticable collapse once again in CEO confidence, according to Bloomberg's Orange Book index, even as stocks reach new higher all-time-er highs. As Bloomberg's Rich Yamarone notes, recent earnings calls highlight the headwinds companies face: Executives cite "softness in consumer spending," a "challenging" climate, "fairly stagnant economy," and "cautious" optimism. Currency valuations are front and center.

Pressures On The US Economy Just IncreasedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/23/2014 - 20:48
"Even if economic conditions continue improving, equity prices are bound to fall sharply at some point, inflicting painful losses on investors. This is what happened in 1987, roughly five years into the last structural bull market. Boom-bust cycles are inevitable because improving economic conditions encourage speculative excesses, which are then blown away as greed gives way to fear."

While reflecting on how many of 2014's "outrageous predictions" came true (and the still strong US equity markets), Saxobank CIO and Chief Economist Steen Jakobsen warns 2015 will see "deeper and deeper market corrections." If we continue to apply medicine to keep the patient alive, instead of dealing with the disease Jakobsen ominously warns, 2015 will see increased volatility and mean-reversion, "think in terms of October 1987 or 9/11."

The Worst Case If The Oil Slump Continues: "A Profit Recession"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/23/2014 - 17:58
With hopes high, at least among corner offices of the majors, that this week's OPEC meeting will somehow manage to slow down the biggest plunge in crude prices since Lehman, it will take much more than mere talk and hollow promises to offset the recent cartel-busting actions of Saudi Arabia. So in a worst case scenario where supply remains unchanged even as global energy demand continues to decline sharply due to the ongoing global slowdown what is the worst case scenario that could happen - aside from the mass energy HY defaults discussed previously - should the price of a barrel of oil continue to correlate the change in 2014 global GDP estimated? Here are some thoughts from Deutsche Bank.

Breaking Local News
Police investigate 3-year old's death
Putnam County Sheriff's detectives continue to investigate the death of a three year old boy. The boy's mother called police after finding him unresponsive late Thursday or early Friday, and as police were talking to the mother they noticed drug paraphenalia in the apartment, according to the search warrant. The father was arrested 24-year old Cheyenne Cody Roush of Winfield for violating a protective order. Roush was engaged to marry the child's mother, Leslie Lilly, according to their Facebook pages. Autopsy results are pending for the child, and police continue to investigate.
Guide available to help Mountain State students
The University of Charleston has put together a complete guide for students at Mountain State. The school loses accreditation December 31, and the University of Charleston has taken over. UC has to provide a teach out plan that shows how current Mountain State students can graduate by either staying at the school or transferring. The new guide is available on UC's website and shows options in four categories: those who can graduate in the fall semester; those planning to graduate in the spring; underclassmen pursuing a degree UC offers; and undergraduates in a program UC will not adopt. Students graduating this fall can stay at Mountain State, but if they want the University of Charleson on their diploma they'll have to transfer.
Ballot replacement named for Carol Fouty
Former Kanawha County magistrate Carol Fouty was officially removed from the ballot last week, and now Kanawha County republicans have picked her replacement. John Jarman was on the Kanawha County primary ballot as a candidate for assessor, and now he'll be listed candidate for magistrate. Jarman ran for assessor in May, and lost the Republican primary to Forest Carper. Jarman also owns Town and Country Publications in Clendenin. Fouty resigned as part of a settlement with the state Judicial Investigation Commission.
Lester enters plea on drug charges
Shawn Lester was back in court Thursday. He's been convicted in one of the three sniper-style shootings in the Kanawha Valley and faced unrelated federal drug charges yesterday. Lester is accused of distributing oxycodone and cocaine between 2005 and 2011 near Sissonville. Lester was indicted on the charges in July and pleaded not guilty yesterday. If he's convicted, Lester faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. In a plea deal, Lester pleaded guilty to the murder of Jeannie Patton, who was one of three people shot to death at a Kanawha County gas station in 2003. Murder charges in the deaths of Gary Carrier Jr. and Okey Meadows Jr. were dropped as part of the deal.
Fouty is removed from the ballot
Former Kanawha County magistrate Carol Fouty is officially off the ballot. The State Judicial Investigation Commission charged Fouty in April with five counts of violating the ethics code for alleged conflicts of interest and for granting favors. Under a tentative settlement Fouty pleaded guilty to one of the counts, resigned immediately and promised to remove herself from November's election. The state Election Commission removed Fouty this week. The Kanawha County Republican Party has less than a week to name a replacement.
Layoffs loom for company affected by poor housing market
Layoffs are coming to South Charleston. Company officials with the Clearon plant will temporarily shut down in mid-September and lay off between 45 and 50 workers. The temporary closure is expected to last between two and two-and-a-half months, and is necessary because of the market conditions, according to the company. The company makes chlorinated dry bleach like those used in the swimming pool industry, and a poor housing market affects the swimming pool market. There are also issues with markets overseas. Whether the plant reopens, will depend on market conditions.
Grant money available for broadband service
An effort is underway to spread broadband internet service to rural areas, and the West Virginia Broadband Deployment Council has started accepting applications for $4 million in grant funding to put toward the effort. The money will go to groups that provide broadband coverage to rural towns, or groups that sponsor initiatives to encourage people to sign up for high-speed Internet. Applications for the grant funds are due September 14.
Kanawha County employees get raise
Kanawha County employees are getting their first pay raise in six years. Although there have been a few raises here and there, County Commissioners approved the raises across the board last night. Each employee gets a $1000 raise effective September 1, which costs the county half a million dollars.
Chic-Colbert learns his sentence
A jury lsat month found Ethan Chic-Colbert guilty of child neglect and domestic batter after an attack on his girlfriend sent her 11-year old son out to look for help. Jahlil Clements was killed when he was struck by a vehicle trying to flag down help on the interstate. Chic-Colbert will spend between six and 30 years behind bars for the charges. He will then be on supervised release for 25 years.
St. Albans mayor adds new duty
The mayor of St. Albans, Dick Callaway, has been picked to be the president of the West Virginia Municipal League. Callaway was vice president of the league for the 2011-2012 year, and will serve as president into 2013. The Municipal League connects several towns as a statewide, nonpartisan association of cities, towns and villages. Through the legislature, research, and education, the league works for the best interest of the members. There are 232 of them in West Virginia right now.

I don't that role anymore." – Carmelo Anthony But teammate Tyson Chandler isn't buying it… "That's not going to happen. He has an instinct that only a few players have in this league. His ability to score isn't a switch you can just turn off. So I expect him to be the same player." - Tyson Chandler With the injuries plaguing the Knicks, Melo may want to hold off on finding his new identity.

guest on jay leno was wearing Danny's Apollo11 sweater from the shining.
always wondered to myself, who was in charge of her wardrobe that day to have selected that.
the only reason it struck me was because i remember it from the conspiracy hypothesis i read a few years prior. allegedly the sweater and the room # was the tell, and so the sweater always seemed like a sigil.

Nick Thune is a comedic genius. It was a shame his arm was broken and was not able to play the guitar. Luckily he had someone playing it in the background for parts of his set.

In an article that will be in the journal Pain, the main author from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center reports that an individual's sensitivity to pain appears to be related to some degree to the amount of grey matter in certain areas of the brain.
The researchers came to this conclusion after they analyzed data from ten previous studies, involving 116 subjects who underwent the same sensory tests: Subjects rated the intensity of pain when a small spot of skin on the arm or leg was heated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was performed on these subjects two days later. The investigators were not searching for acute changes in brain activity in response to painful stimuli; rather, they were trying to observe evidence of structural variations that would have been present over time — with the ultimate goal of correlating pain sensitivity with brain structure.
In other words, is there a certain appearance to the brain anatomy, when the brain is NOT experiencing pain, that will allow us to predict how sensitive whoever owns that brain is to a painful stimulus?

With dense clusters of elegant star-shaped blue flowers Amsonia tabernaemontana is a very attractive perennial that warrants more inclusion in our gardens. Luckily, it is much easier to cultivate than to pronounce.
For centuries, Samphire was food for the poor, free to ordinary people living by the sea. It is ironic that today it is regarded as a specialty food, often served with an accompanying price tag.
With vivid pink tinged green leaves Mexican Tree Spinach is the latest 'new' arrival on the veg scene. Of course it is only really new if you are not from Mexico, where it's been grown for hundreds of years.
One of the most popular vegetables in China, Choy Sum 'Purple Stem' is described to be a sweet, less bitter, broccoli raab. Suitable for autumn production, it can withstand temperatures below 0°C
Dianthus 'Little Maiden' produces delicately fringed, fragrant white flowers over compact domes. Tight little clumps that rock gardeners call 'buns'. For the rock garden or trough, green-roof or fairy garden.
Summer-blooming spiky plants - in garden design parlance 'the verticals' - we all need some. Teucrium 'Purple Tails' is a rare treat, with long, kitten-like tails that form plush spikes of lavish purple-red shades.
Veronicastrum is one of the most fashionable plants around. It is an excellent genus, full of hardy, trouble-free plants. The multiple tapering, soft spikes of white flowers look like elegant, living candelabras.
'Golden Beetroot' are an absolute delight. they have a slightly honeyed taste and don't stain the dishes. After all, at the end of a long day, the last thing you want to do is get your hands dirty.
We have all heard of Nigella Lawson, the British cooking show goddess who advocates the importance of a well-stocked pantry. While Nigella sativa has a spicy, nutty flavour and is used as a spice and condiment.
Calamagrostis brachytricha is well suited to perennial herbaceous borders and naturalistic planting schemes. In late summer fluffy, silvery-white flower heads emerge that in autumn take on buttery shades.
Molinia caerulea produces masses flower stems that form a floating sea of movement. They are at their resplendent best as summer turns to autumn and their foliage turns a warm butter yellow.
Sanguisorba tenuifolia 'Alba' is a Japanese species that has infiltrated our psyche. The most refined of perennials, the highly tactile flowers float like dainty ghosts at the tips of their slender stems.
Costmary is one of the most interesting and complex of all herbs. With an aroma which has been described as like garden mint with hints of balsam it can be used for many purposes, culinary, medicinal or ornamental.
Linaria 'Canon J Went' is a delightful plant with tall spikes of pink and mauve tiny flowers. Easy to grow and flowering prolifically in a sunny spot, the delicate plants provide a softening haze in perennial borders.
Black cardamom or Nepal cardamom is are very popular in Indian cuisine and is the world's third-most expensive spice, outstripped in price per weight only by saffron and vanilla.
With dense clusters of elegant star-shaped blue flowers Amsonia tabernaemontana is a very attractive perennial that warrants more inclusion in our gardens. Luckily, it is much easier to cultivate than to pronounce.

It's been an exciting week if you're a Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan. LA radio host Jason Bentley revealed the band would release the follow-up to 2009's 'It's Blitz!' in the "springtime" of 2013 AND it was the birthday of Queen art-punk Karen O. There's nae a whisper of a track online yet and the band haven't confirmed the release but it's about time. O said she was working on new material December last year.
So what can we expect? In an interview with Q around the time 'It's Blitz' came out, Karen O suggested that the next album would be acoustic. Considering Nick Zinner is an electric guitar hero, this is a little worrying. Fears weren't allayed recently when James Murphy of LCD Soundsytem denied reports that he's producing the album. Also, Karen O's most recent song, 'Strange Love' for the Tim Burton soundtrack for 'Frankenweenie' was a surfy acoustic ballad (but very pretty too).
Yet an album without banging tunes would be unlikely. 'It's Blitz' had the perfect mix of gentle heartbreakers ('Hysteric', 'Skeletons', 'Runaway') and zinging, hi-NRG dance tracks that produced remix after remix ('Zero', 'Heads Will Roll', the funky 'Dragon Queen'). The acoustic versions on the full-length album were more than welcome - but an album without Zinner's electric genius would be unthinkable.
So what other clues have we got? Since 'It's Blitz', YYYs have gone collaboration crazy. O teamed up with Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch for the thrashy 'Immigrant Song' for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Both O and Zinner contributed to a couple of acoustic tracks on ex-Smashing Pumpkin James Iha's album and O worked with David Lynch on his dodgy album 'Crazy Clown Time'. Let's hope this album is just the three of them - their sound doesn't need diluting.
Looking back at their three albums, there's no obvious linear sonic progression. 'Fever To Tell' (2003) introduced YYYs seductive, esoteric noise with a blast. Karen O set out her stall as one of the greatest frontwoman of the decade (with magnificent outfits to boot). 'Show Your Bones' (2006) was more minimalist, confidently languorous, opening with the gorgeously melodic 'Gold Lion'. (An aside: how impeccable are YYYs album openers?). 'It's Blitz' (2009) was a dazzling explosion of synths and their strongest so far. Perhaps Act IV will be even heavier.
Despite O's experimental leanings (her psycho-opera 'Stop The Virgens' went down well at the end of 2011), I'm going to call a no to any rap, terrorcore or garage directions and hope, greedily, for a mix of guitar, dancefloor bangers and acoustic melters. I'll bet anyone who comments below £50 that it'll be a goody. Let me know your favourite YYYs song below and what you're hoping for.
