Video- The San Jose Sharks Were This Close To Getting Back Into The Game
by Paul on 11/19/14 at 07:40 AM ET
Comments (1)
This overturned goal would have cut the San Jose deficit to 3-2, instead the score remained 3-1 and Buffalo scored an empty net goal to make the final score 4-1.
from Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News,
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said the first period was probably his team's best, but "we come out in the second and third period and play dumb hockey. Just flat-out dumb. Pinching, giving up two on ones, three on twos. We had only given up 10 shots after two periods and we're down (3-1). Just dumb hockey.
"You don't win at any level playing like that. You don't beat any type of team playing like that."

"He had the instincts of a Wayne Gretzky as a goalie. Really, he was one of the few goalies who ever played the game who could intimidate the other team before the puck dropped. They didn't know how to score on him because you never knew what he was going to do."

Rick Jeanneret Will Slowly Get Back To Work
by Paul on 11/14/14 at 11:24 AM ET
Comments (0)
BUFFALO, N.Y. (November 14, 2014) – The Buffalo Sabres today announced that Hall of Fame broadcaster Rick Jeanneret will rejoin the Sabres broadcast team to call the first period of the Sabres-Maple Leafs game on Nov. 15. The game, which begins at 7 p.m. on MSG, will be the Foster Hewitt Award winner's first game since being treated for throat cancer in early September.
"The time seems right to slowly begin transitioning back to work," Jeanneret said. "My doctors have told me I'm cancer free and I'm feeling well enough to get back in the booth, even if it's only on a limited basis for the time being. The kindness and well-wishes from everyone, especially Sabres fans and the Western New York community, has been overwhelming and I'm truly grateful for the tremendous support during this process."

Morning Line- Lyle Richardson On Tyler Myers
by Paul on 11/13/14 at 09:20 AM ET
Comments (9)
I chuckle whenever I read people disparaging Myers and questioning why anyone would want to acquire him. He's a big blueliner with plenty of skill and at 23 has plenty of time to blossom into a true top-two defenseman. Put him on a deeper club and he'll shine. That's also why the Sabres are leery to part with him, and why they've set the asking price so high.

Afternoon Line- Dave Hodge On The Buffalo Sabres
by Paul on 11/08/14 at 12:37 PM ET
Comments (1)
My thumb is down to the Buffalo Sabres' lust for Connor McDavid. I'm well aware that all 30 NHL teams would not hesitate to smile at the thought of McDavid in their lineup, but most of them would be highly disappointed if that came to pass because they won the draft lottery after finishing in last place.
Until or unless the Sabres decide to change the conversation regarding themselves and McDavid by vowing to finish as high as they can, they are to be judged by the comments they've made. Owner Terry Pegula has stated that the way to improve is to do what Pittsburgh did - draft Sidney Crosby with the first pick a year after selecting Evgeni Malkin with the second pick. Well, there are other ways, but I digress.
General manager Tim Murray is anxious to see the Sabres lose "properly" if they must lose. "Let's get Connor with honour" would be the rallying cry. The Sabres are probably bad enough to get the most favourable draft odds by trying their best, and so they should say and do everything to suggest that 30th place is not acceptable….even if that is the goal.
-Dave Hodge of TSN.

There are Internet marketing lessons to be learned everywhere. Just ask Lisa Williams, director of digital marketing strategy at Search Discovery. The oft-cited marketer is gearing up to share her lessons on SEO and SEM in "Let's Work Together: How SEO & SEM Can Help Each Other" and "Key SMX Takeaways" at SMX East 2014.

Also, that most great dishes start with great, fresh food," Williams said, explaining that the ingredients you start with — whether they be in Internet marketing or chicken soup — matter.
With a book coming out before the year's end and two SMX East 2014 sessions to prepare for (plus all that cooking), Williams still found time for an interview. Read on to discover her insights on SEO, SEM, relationship-building and more.

Writing for Clarity
passive voice
Passive voice produces a sentence in which the subject receives an action. In contrast, active voice produces a sentence in which the subject performs an action. Passive voice often produces unclear, wordy sentences, whereas active voice produces generally clearer, more concise sentences. To change a sentence from passive to active voice, determine who or what performs the action, and use that person or thing as the subject of the sentence. Passive voice: "On April 19, 1775, arms were seized at Concord, precipitating the American Revolution." Active voice: "On April 19, 1775, British soldiers seized arms at Concord, precipitating the American Revolution."

The Ultra Affordable Educational Robot Project
2013 Design Challenge: Robot Enhancements, Software, and Teaching Plans
Sponsored by: The African Robotics Network (AFRON) and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
Robots excite people of all ages. Their physical behavior often inspires primary and secondary student interest in computers, science, math, and engineering more broadly. However, existing platforms are often too expensive for students. This project aims to collaboratively create an Ultra-Affordable Robot (an order of magnitude less expensive than existing products) to inspire young people around the world.
The 2012 Design Challenge emphasized an ultra-low-cost robot hardware platform in three categories:
tethered, roaming, and all-in-one. The winning designs were all highly creative, and the Grand Prize in the tethered category went to Lollybot, a brilliant design by Tom Tilley of Thailand, costing just under 10 USD and incorporating two functional Lollipops. Starting with a generic dual-shock game controller, Lollybot can be built using commonly available tools anywhere in the world.
In the 2013 Design Challenge, our goal is to create incentives for designers to select any of the winning designs from 2012 and work on enhancements in one or more of 3 categories:
1) hardware 2) software, or 3)curriculum.
This year, we are placing a special emphasis on Lollybot, encouraging next steps in the 3 categories:
1) enhance the Lollybot hardware design, simplifying assembly, increasing robustness, adding useful features, 2) extend and improve the open-source software for Lollybot, and 3) create exciting
lesson plans using the Lollybot.
In addition, there is a special "community challenge" for participants who organize a robotics workshop for students using
one of the winning designs, with or without enhancements.
Competition Categories
1) Hardware enhancements
Propose design enhancements to make the chosen robot more effective, robust, re-usable, and even easier to assemble or manufacture. For example, possible design enhancements for the Lollybot include:
· Improved robustness (particularly of wheels and bumpers) to allow for more reliable behavior
· Ability to design and switch in and out different sensor circuits, such as the current line sensor circuit.
· Ability to control the robot with an old feature phone, a Raspberry Pi, or other low-cost computing platform
2) Software enhancements
Further open-source software development to add functionality to the chosen robot, and more importantly, make it easy for high school students with no prior programming experience to learn how to program new behaviors for the robot. For Lollybot, this could include, for example, a drag-and-drop programming interface, or a software interface to introduce basic features of JavaScript for programming the robot.
3) Curriculum
Outline 20+ hours of educational activity using the chosen robot. The educational value could come from the process of assembling the robot and from programming it. However, at least 15 hours of the curriculum should be re-usable, meaning that it can be used with an already-assembled robot. This ensures that learning continues after the robot is assembled for the first time. The lesson plans can assume a basic age-appropriate science and math background, but should not assume any background in robotics or prior experience programming or using tools such as a soldering iron -- it should help students learn what they need to know.
4) Community challenge
Build one of the winning designs in collaboration with students (primary, secondary or early college), documenting the process and the learning experience for the students.
Each category attracts a grand prize of $500, and a runner-up prize of $250. A single entry can win in more than one category. Additionally, there will be "honorable mentions" for other creative submissions.
The competition is open to individuals, teams of individuals, or institutions from anywhere in the world. We welcome submissions from hobbyists and students, in addition to professionals. For the community challenge, entries are particularly encouraged from participants working with students in Africa.

Webinar Slides and Recording Available Now
Did you get a chance to join the RAS Webinar - Improving Workplace Email Using the STOP Method
Don't worry if you did not, the slides and a recording of the webinar are now posted here on the RAS website, under the Education tab.
Email: it's the first thing we check in the morning, probably before we even get to the office, and it rules our actions throughout the day. But despite the importance of email, we don't spend much time considering how to make it more effective at accomplishing our goals. In fact, some of the email we receive is so confusing and poorly written, we may have a difficult time understanding exactly what the message is and what the writer wants. The STOP Method is designed to help you improve your email through four concrete strategies. This webinar will introduce you to the STOP method and give you opportunities to improve your email every day. Dr. Julia Williams will offer examples of poor email and identify the elements that contribute to its ineffectiveness.
The goal of this webinar is to provide you with easy-to-use tools that will make a difference in your email right away!
The Tibion Bionic Leg Wins the IERA 2013 Award
Karlsruhe, 8 May 2013 - The 9th annual Invention and Entrepreneurship Award in Robotics and Automation (IERA) was presented to Robert Horst, AlterG Inc. (former Tibion Corporation) for the Tibion Bionic Leg, at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Karlsruhe, Germany.
"The awards committee had a difficult choice to make with three excellent finalists. In the end, we picked the Tibion Bionic Leg for the following reason as noted in the citation for the award: 'A breakthrough product for rehabilitation of stroke patients at an affordable price, and offering a compelling story of an entrepreneurial journey with typical ups-and-downs culminating in a successful business'", commented Raj Madhavan, Vice President of IEEE-RAS Industrial Activities Board and Chairman of the Awards Committee.
"I was very happy to accept this award for the AlterG Bionic Leg because it acknowledges the growing importance of robotics for rehabilitation. It is gratifying to receive such a prestigious award after our team has worked so hard to perfect the Bionic Leg and introduce it into physical therapy. I am looking forward to working with the expanded AlterG team to accelerate the availability of Bionic Leg therapy and develop future innovations in rehabilitation robotics" stated Robert Horst of AlterG.
The Tibion Bionic Leg (TBL) is a wearable, battery-powered, robotic mobility assistance device. It is a robotic trainer that is activated by the patient's intent to move. The TBL is used by physical therapists for patients with impaired mobility and is designed to strengthen stance, improve gait, and enhance active motor learning while protecting its users.
Tibion Incorporated was founded in 2002. Robert Horst started research of the Bionic Leg years after his knee surgery. After developing the hard- and software of the product, Tibion sold the first Bionic Leg in 2009. By today the company has sold more than a hundred units. Tibion is now part of AlterG, Inc., a company who is revolutionizing modern rehabilitation through the use of the cutting edge Anti-Gravity Treadmill® and Bionic Leg. The Bionic Leg is currently available in over 100 hospitals, physical therapy facilities and skilled nursing facilities worldwide. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® technology was originally developed for NASA and is the first FDA-cleared medical device that uses patented differential air pressure technology. AlterG products are used by major medical centers, leading physical therapy clinics, top professional and collegiate teams and athletes, and individual sports and fitness programs worldwide.
The awards committee cited the other two finalists as follows:
The Thymio II Educational Robot by Stéphane Magnenat, ETH Zürich and Fanny Riedo, EPFL, Switzerland
"An inspiring product motivating young boys and girls to enter science, technology, engineering and math disciplines."
Intelligent Grit-blasting Robots for The Surface Preparation Industry by Professor Dikai Liu, University of Technology, Australia
"A good example of bringing robotics and automation technologies to tackle dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks, and to improve infrastructure maintenance."
In 2005 the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE/RAS) and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) agreed to jointly sponsor the Invention and Entrepreneurship Award. The purpose of this award is to highlight and honor the achievements of the inventors with value creating ideas and entrepreneurs who propel those ideas into world-class products. At the same time the joint disposition of the award underlines the determination of both organizations to promote stronger collaboration between robotics science and robotics industry. The annual presented award consists of a plaque and a $2,000 honorarium.

Hockey: Oilers Captain to March in Edmonton Pride
BY Annie Hollenbeck
June 05 2014 1:21 PM ET
The Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers squared off in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals Wednesday night, but earlier this week Edmonton Oilers captain Andrew Ference made headlines when he announced his plans to march in the Edmonton Pride Parade, coming up Saturday.
Ference will represent the You Can Play campaign, which has partnered with the University of Alberta's Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services. You Can Play works to discourage discrimination and enhance equality among athletes at all levels. Ference will march with the University of Alberta's Camp fYrefly youth leadership program.
"You Can Play has fundamentally changed the way the NHL players think and act," Ference said. "We understand the important role we can play in ending discrimination within sports and society and I feel honored to be able participate in events with them and Camp fYrefly, including Edmonton's Pride Parade."
Several NHL figures have taken LGBT-supportive in recent years. In 2010, former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Sopel escorted the Stanley Cup in the Chicago Pride parade in honor of Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke's gay son, Brendan. Brendan was killed in a car accident earlier that year, not long after coming out to his Miami University hockey teammates. Former Ranger Sean Avery has been a vocal ally of the LGBT community and in 2011 publicly lobbied for the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York State.
As for the game, the Kings defeated the Rangers in overtime and lead the finals series 1-0.
