So where do you start? How about Talbot in goal?
The six times he’s been given the hook in 39 starts this year is the same number as the entire season last year when he led the league in starts with 73.
Goalie pulls, of course, are not a defining statistic.
Talbot goes into the break on the high of playing well in the last half of what turned out to be a fantastic hockey game. But like the others he has to look into the mirror about a season that could have been.
“I think some of it is a byproduct of what is going on in front. I haven’t been beat on a lot of bad goals this year. I’m pretty good at self-analyzing. I’m pretty honest with myself about it. Obviously I could have come up with a few more big saves like I came up with last year and I’m not doing that this year. Someti...
From his position, Talbot has a unique position to analyze the bigger picture.
The numbers say Talbot has been one of those things.
He has started 39 games, has an 18-17-2 record with a 3.14 goals against average and a .901 save percentage.
Last year he started 73, went 42-22-8, had a 2.39 goals against average and a .919 save percentage.
But you don’t watch a performance like he produced in that inspired comeback win against Calgary and leave the rink wondering whether they have a top eight goaltender or not. It’s like that with a lot of other people involved.
Several hundred Catholic demonstrators march on Capitol Hill on Feb. 27, 2018, to demand congressional action on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Dozens of nuns, priests and lay people were arrested in the Capitol Rotunda as part of a Catholic-led effort to persuade lawmakers to protect undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children.
Those arrested were part of a group of at least 200 Catholic demonstrators who marched on Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning (Feb. 27) to draw attention to the fate of the immigrants, known as “Dreamers,” all of whom had been granted protection during the Obama administration through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arri...
DACA now covers 800,000 people who face deportation without it; hundreds of thousands more never signed up for the program but are believed to be in the same situation. The DACA participants hope for a legislative solution — including a path to citizenship — that polls show most Americans support.
A slate of faith groups have condemned Trump’s decision to phase out DACA, and many religious leaders — including more than 80 rabbis and other Jewish activists in January — have been arrested in recent months during demonstrations to support the immigrants.
Tuesday’s National Catholic Day of Action for Dreamers drew further attention to their plight.
Catholic demonstrators are arrested by police on Capitol Hill on Feb. 27, 2018.
Before their arrest, the Catholics filed past the Supreme Court as they sang hymns and held signs with the words “Catholics Stand with Dreamers” emblazoned next to a visage of the Virgin Mary.
A Supreme Court decision on Monday appears to have forced the federal government to continue reissuing DACA protections for now, but advocates say they can’t afford to rely on the courts.
“We have to insist that it’s not a time to wait around anymore — our Dreamers have heard plenty of false promises, but their lives are on hold,” said Bishop John Stowe of the Diocese of Lexington, Ky., addressing the crowd on the Capitol lawn, where he was followed by other Catholic clergy and immigrants alike.
The Rev. Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and columnist with Religion News Service, was one of many speakers who singled out House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has often invoked his Catholic faith during his political career. Reese criticized what he sees as Ryan’s failure to pass legislation on the issue and invoked a passage ...
Roughly 200 Catholic demonstrators marched on Capitol Hill to demand congressional action on DACA, ending in the Capitol Rotunda on Feb. 27, 2018.
“Speaker Paul Ryan needs to hear those words, so let’s tell him: ‘Paul, why do you persecute me?!’” Reese shouted. The crowd joined in, transforming the quip into a chant.
The group then entered the Capitol, knowing that gathering under its dome would likely result in their arrests. Many of those risking arrest said they were doing so for the first time but that their faith compelled them to act on behalf of undocumented immigrants.
After a brief prayer led by Stowe, a smaller group of about 40 — many of them nuns — began praying the rosary as police officers lined up behind them while issuing warnings with a bullhorn. Reese and several older nuns stood in a sunbeam and raised their fists in defiance as they belted the hymn “Amazing Grace,” their ...

When they refused to move, police quietly handcuffed them one by one.
“Paul! Paul! Why are you persecuting me?!” the demonstrators shouted again as officers led them away, their hands bound behind their backs. Supporters in the balcony applauded as they left.
Reese and all others arrested were processed and released shortly afterward.
The protest, organized by several groups, including the Franciscan Action Network, PICO and Faith in Public Life, is but the latest effort in a multiday campaign by Catholics on behalf of the immigrants.

Several prominent church leaders, including Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, promoted the effort on social media.
Ashley Feasley, policy director for the USCCB’s migration and refugee services office, said the push was an expression of Catholic social teaching.
“One of the things that is so important for us is this belief in the human dignity of all people, and the ability for all people to be with their family and the sanctity of family,” Feasley said.

The holiday season is an ideal time to share roots and traditions.
The holiday season is an ideal time to share roots and traditions, and to begin a family history project, adding lasting links to the chain of Jewish identity and continuity. At a family gathering in Israel, Ingrid Rockberger heard a relative say that an American cousin had visited family in Sweden. Something clicked, ...
Some years ago, I was in your shoes. After graduation, I chose to serve as a building substitute beginning in January when there were no nearby, open positions. In the beginning, I was terrified. Over time though, the experience I gained proved invaluable. I am certain the months I spent as a substitute made my applica...
Subbing is be a bridge to full-time employment for many educators. All of us who have ever filled out a standard application with a question about whether or not we'd be willing to substitute have paused to consider the option carefully. (Perhaps you're remembering back to your own days in school when having a sub mean...
As a former teacher, I can tell you: good substitutes are hard to find! You can't imagine the gratitude teachers feel when a substitute not only follows the plans they have left, but they've also written notes about how the day went.
In addition to gaining more experience with teaching itself, you'll develop skills that can be even more beneficial to educators.
Landing a position as a building or district substitute can be even better than working in many different districts through a substitute teaching service. You'll make connection with teachers, and the students will know you, too. Reputation is everything in substituting. Establish yourself as someone who is there to ma...
Think about it. If you do good work and other teachers (and administrators) see that, you could be next in line when a position you're qualified for opens up.
British Petroleum North America agreed to pay $7.9 million after being accused by the state and a third party of double-billing California for underground storage tank (UST) cleanup reimbursements.
But the settlement could eventually cost BP up to another $135 million.
The latest saga of the serial polluter began in April 2010 when American Cost Recovery Management (ACRM) filed a lawsuit against BP in Sacramento County Superior Court alleging violations of the California False Claims Act. ACRM claimed BP was being reimbursed from a state fund that helps defray the cost of cleaning up...
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), which administers the Barry Keene Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund Trust Act of 1989 (pdf), joined the settlement negotiations in 2012 with the state Attorney General’s Office.
Although BP denied all guilt or liability in the settlement, the company agreed that 90 of the 243 cleanup sites that had qualified for reimbursements would now be barred from the fund. BP, its insurers and whoever it can sue will now be responsible. The Water Board said that the average reimbursement is $500,000 per s...
That pencils out to savings of between $45 million and $135 million for the state.
The fund receives its money from UST operators, who pay a fee to the state Board of Equalization based on how much petroleum is placed in the tank. It is expected to be $2 billion short by 2016.
There is no indication if those unforeseen cost increases included oil companies double-dipping.
California is in the process of replacing the most dangerous USTs. Around 12% of the them are “antiquated” single-walled tanks that present a “high risk of leaking gasoline, diesel fuels, fuel additives, and other hazardous substances into the soil and groundwater, posing a threat to human health and the environment,” ...
In the 26 years since the cleanup law was passed, more than 43,000 leaks have been identified, according to KQED. Six out of seven have been addressed. That is not to say that 37,000 sites have been cleaned up. Often the goal is to stabilize the pollution at a non-threatening level and then let nature, and biodegradati...
A 2012 state report said the average time of remediation was 17 years.
New Brunswick's Legislative Assembly has been closed to the public following the shooting on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
"Until further notice, following the armed assault at Ottawa’s Parliament Buildings, the Legislative Assembly buildings are closed to the public," said Daniel Bussières, the legislature's sergeant-at-arms in a brief statement.
Bussières told reporters on Wednesday the decision to close the legislature to the public is meant to reassure employees.
Bussières said the news about the Ottawa shootings has been very upsetting.
"It just breaks my heart because we're such an open society where people are free to come and go and take part in the democratic system and something like that occurring in Ottawa is basically an attack on our democratic system," he said.
Bussières said he will conduct a reassessment of security measures in place for the new Speaker of the Legislature, who is to be elected by MLAs on Friday.
Premier Brian Gallant issued a statement saying he is "shocked and saddened to learn that a member of the Canadian Forces has again been deliberately targeted and attacked, this time in Ottawa."
"While national security is an issue managed by the Government of Canada, public security of citizens is a responsibility shared by the provinces," Gallant said.
"New Brunswick is a safe place to live, but it is important to remain vigilant against threats to our security."
New Brunswick isn't the only legislature to immediately impose new security restrictions following the shooting.
The Ontario legislature is also under a heightened state of security.
Also, Province House in Halifax has increased security. Police have swept the Legislature and all staff have been asked to make sure they are wearing identification.
The British Columbia legislature has also been closed to the public.
Parliament Hill came under attack today after a man with a rifle shot a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, before seizing a car and driving to the doors of Parliament Hill's Centre Block nearby.
MPs and other witnesses reported several shots fired inside Parliament, and a gunman has been confirmed dead inside the building, shot by the House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms, according to eyewitness accounts of MPs.
CBC News has confirmed that several New Brunswick MPs, including Saint John MP Rodney Weston, Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe MP Robert Goguen and Beausejour MP Dominic LeBlanc, are being locked down on Parliament Hill.
New Brunswick Southwest MP John Williamson said on Twitter that he was in his weekly caucus meeting when the shooting started and the room had been locked down.
He also said Conservative MPs had a moment of silence when they were informed that the soldier, who was shot, had died.
Some military bases across the country have put in place heightened security measures today.
But it appeared to be business as usual at 5th Canadian Division Support Base (5 CDSB) Gagetown outside Oromocto, the second largest military base in Canada and the largest military facility in Eastern Canada, reported CBC's Redmond Shannon.
Base officials declined to comment, directing all inquiries to the Canadian Forces headquarters in Ottawa, said Shannon.
But hundreds of cars were in and out of the Gagetown base all afternoon and a commissionaire at the gate said no unusual security protocols were in effect, he said.
In addition, Gagetown service members were not asked to avoid wearing their uniforms off-base, as had been requested of members of the Canadian Forces elsewhere across the country, Shannon said.
Patrick Parker, president of the Oromocto branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, said he was "horrified" by the events in Ottawa.
"I'm sure all the veterans feel the same way," said Parker.
"We're in the midst of a crisis now," he said. "We know that the government is working really hard to protect us from the terrorists, but this is it now, we’re into it now."
SANTA FE, N.M. — A proposal to let New Mexico voters decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana has stalled in committee and is likely dead for the year.
The state Senate Rules Committee voted 5-5 on Tuesday against sending the constitutional amendment to another committee for consideration. The proposal would have made it legal for adults 21 and over to possess and use marijuana.
The plan likely would have faced difficulty in the Legislature. And Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, an Albuquerque Democrat who sponsored the measure, says he sees little chance of the issue being revived this session. But he says he will try again next year.
Colorado and Washington state have legalized marijuana. Pot stores opened in Colorado last month, and sales should start in Washington later this year.
(Reuters Health) - When a transgender youth chooses a new name, it’s important for friends, relatives and acquaintances to use that chosen name, a new study suggests.
For those who selected a different name from the one given at birth, being called by the chosen name reduced depressive symptoms and overall suicidal risk, researchers found.
The reduction in mental health risks was strongest when the chosen name was used in multiple contexts, like at home, at school, at work, and among friends.
“I think if any of us imagined living in a world where people called us a name different from the one we understood ourselves to be, it would be a constant upending of our understanding of ourselves,” Stephen T. Russell of the University of Texas at Austin, who led the study, told Reuters Health.
Transgender youth are at significantly increased risk for depressive symptoms and suicide. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute, 41 percent of transgender individuals have reported attempting suicide, compared to 4.6 percent among the general population.
For some transgender people, being called by their birth name can be painful and “a reminder of how society is not always welcoming or understanding of trans individuals or identities,” Katherine Kuvalanka of University in Oxford, Ohio, who studies ways to support transgender youth, told Reuters Health by email.
The study included 129 transgender and gender nonconforming youth from three large U.S. cities.
Participants completed three validated questionnaires that assessed depressive symptoms, self-harm and suicidal ideation and behavior, and perceived social support.
Researchers also asked transgender youth if they had a chosen name and whether they were able to use that name at home, at school, at work, and with friends. Seventy-four participants, or 57 percent, reported having a chosen name different from the one assigned at birth.
For each additional context in which the youngsters were able to use their chosen name, researchers saw a 29 percent decrease in suicidal ideation, a 56 percent reduction in suicidal behavior, and significant improvement on a screening tool that measures depression. Every additional context where a youth could use thei...
“What this suggests to me is that things that make the social transition better are going to dramatically reduce (mental health) risks,” Russell said.
