Jonsson, the Islanders' top defenseman, was injured in the second period when he was cross-checked in the head by the Avalanche's Cam Russell. |
Just as Russell delivered the blow behind Jonsson's right ear, Peter Forsberg of the Avalanche elbowed the left side of Jonsson's head. |
It was unclear whether the 6-foot-3-inch, 195-pound Jonsson would miss any games, but tonight's loss to Colorado was an indication of how indispensable Jonsson is to the Islanders. When Jonsson left the game, the score was tied at 1-1. His presence in the defensive zone was immediately missed as the Islanders gave up m... |
Jonsson, who missed just one game last season because of the flu, will be re-evaluated here on Wednesday. |
Aaron Miller ended his streak of 31 games without a goal at 1 minute 8 seconds of the third period, scoring over a sprawled Salo to give the Avalanche a 4-2 lead. Claude Lemieux scored Colorado's fifth goal in the final minute of the game. |
The Islanders, who got off to another slow start, were outshot by 9-3 in the first period but played to a 1-1 tie. |
The Avalanche scored first, on a goal by Forsberg at 6:33. Forsberg, who was fed the puck by Valery Kamensky after winning a draw, beat Salo with a wrist shot from the slot. The Avalanche is 20-0-7 when Forsberg scores a goal. |
Mariusz Czerkawski, who scored twice for the Islanders, tied the score at 16:43. On a two-on-one break, Claude Lapointe made a cross-ice pass to Czerkawski, who fired wide of the Avalanche net. The puck rebounded off the back boards and back out to Czerkawski, who poked it in. |
The Avalanche gained a 2-1 advantage a few minutes after the injury to Jonsson. Kamensky scored on the power play at 10:45 on blast from the middle of the right circle. His shot deflected off Scott Lachance's stick. |
The teams exchanged goals late in the second period. Czerkawski scored for the second time at 14:01 on the power play to tie the score at 2-2. But Joe Sakic, the Avalanche captain, restored Colorado's lead 25 seconds later, ricocheting the puck off an unsuspecting Salo. Sakic was behind the goal line when the puck went... |
The Islanders left New York on Sunday for a three-game trip without MIKE MILBURY, their coach and general manager. His absence was conspicuous only because the PAVEL BURE trade discussions have heated up in recent days. ''Mike spends every day trying to put the best product on the ice that he can,'' the Islanders spoke... |

Among patients older than 50 years with moderate to severe chronic knee pain, neither laser nor needle acupuncture provided greater benefit on pain or function compared to sham laser acupuncture, according to a study in the October 1st 2014 issue of JAMA. |
A release from the publishers notes that chronic knee pain affects many people older than 50 years and is the most common pain concern among older people consulting family physicians. Nonpharmacological approaches are central to managing chronic knee pain, and patients with joint pain frequently use complementary and a... |
Rana S. Hinman, Ph.D., of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues randomly assigned 282 patients (50 years or older) with chronic knee pain to no acupuncture (control group, n = 71) or needle (n = 70), laser (n = 71), or sham laser (n = 70) acupuncture. Treatments were delivered for 12 weeks. Participant... |
There were no significant differences in primary outcomes (measures of knee pain and physical function) between active and sham acupuncture at 12 weeks or 1 year. Both needle and laser acupuncture resulted in modest improvements in pain compared with control at 12 weeks that were not maintained at 1 year. Needle acupun... |
Most secondary outcomes (other pain and function measures, quality of life, global change, and 1-year follow-up) showed no difference. Needle acupuncture improved pain on walking at 12 weeks but was not maintained at 1 year. |

The Big Question: Did the Chargers play it too safe? |
We didn't learn a lot about new San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco during free agency. He got rid of a lot of unnecessary veterans and stayed away from quick fixes. If there was a takeaway from Telesco's first draft, it's that he doesn't necessarily swing for the fences. |
San Diego's first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft was a right tackle, D.J. Fluker, who many thought would be better suited playing guard. Fluker improves the Chargers' nastiness, but he's a right tackle who doesn't pass protect that well. You don't want to be the one drafting a player at the end of a positional run because ... |
The Chargers traded up in round two for Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o. Forget the sensational aspects to the Te'o story. Is he a unique talent? There are questions -- even inside the Chargers -- regarding whether Te'o has the ability to play three downs. I tend to agree with the evaluation of NFL Films' Greg Cosell:... |
If Fluker and Te'o start for the Chargers for the next five years, this criticism will look silly enough. But Telesco's first draft is hard to get excited about at the top. |
1. Third-round wide receiver Keenan Allen has a chance to play right away and could very well be the team's No. 1 receiver in 2014 if he pans out. That may say more about the Chargers receivers than Allen, but he was a great value in the third round. |
2. Even with Fluker, San Diego's offensive line could be among the worst in the league. Telesco should be given time to turn this team around because there's just not a lot of top-tier talent. |
3. You can't fix everything in one draft, but I was surprised the Chargers didn't take a running back. Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead and Ronnie Brown are all very year-to-year, so they could have a brand new backfield in 2014. |
(New York) – The African Union (AU), in advance of a meeting with the United Nations Security Council on September 23, 2016, should end consideration of a call for mass withdrawal of its members from the International Criminal Court (ICC), a group of African nongovernmental organizations and international groups with a... |
In January, the AU decided to mandate its Open-Ended Committee on the ICC to develop a “comprehensive strategy” that includes withdrawal from the ICC. The committee met on April 11, and identified three conditions that it said should be met for the AU to avoid calling for withdrawal. These included a demand for immunit... |

Some African ICC members are taking important steps to limit impunity, the organizations said. At the AU’s summit in Kigali from July 10 to 18, several African countries – Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tunisia – pushed back against a potential call by the African Union for a mass exit of African countr... |
In the period before the summit, 21 international and African nongovernmental organizations released a video featuring 12 African activists on the importance of the ICC and the need for African governments to support the court. The video, and a shortened version of it, have attracted more than 80,000 views on social me... |
Withdrawal from the ICC is a decision to be made by individual countries and cannot be carried out by the AU. At the same time, a call from the AU for countries to withdraw or consider withdrawal would make it more difficult politically for African countries to show support for the court. |
The work of the Open-Ended Committee on the ICC is the latest development in a backlash against the ICC by some African leaders, focused on charges that the ICC is unfairly targeting Africa. The backlash first surged in the wake of the 2009 ICC arrest warrant for President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, on charges of serious... |
Six out of the nine African situations under ICC investigation came about as a result of requests or grants of jurisdictions by African governments – Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Uganda, and two requests from the Central African Republic. In January, the ICC prosecutor opened the court’s first inv... |
At the same time, some powerful countries – including China, Russia, and the United States, all permanent UN Security Council members – and their allies have been able to avoid the reach of international justice. They have been able to do that by not joining the ICC and because they have a veto on the UN Security Counc... |

Blanket immunity for sitting heads of state has never been available before international criminal courts dealing with crimes under international law. No international tribunal – from the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, to the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, to the I... |
The AU in 2014 adopted a protocol to give its regional court authority to prosecute grave crimes, also while granting immunity for sitting heads of states and other senior government officials. That protocol, which needs 15 ratifications before coming into force, has yet to be ratified by any country. |
Kenya has played a leading role in mobilizing AU attacks on the ICC since 2013. On September 19, the ICC issued a finding of non-cooperation by Kenya in the now-withdrawn case against Kenyatta to the ICC’s Assembly of States Parties. The charges in the case against William Ruto, Kenya’s deputy president, were vacated f... |
The decision is the first ICC finding of non-cooperation related to the failure of an ICC member country to provide assistance to the prosecution’s investigations. |
Republicans have launched several attempts to stop the new rules to regulate water pollution in streams, lakes, and rivers. |
In finalizing new rule that will give it new authority to regulate pollution in streams, lakes, and rivers, the Environmental Protection Agency has a message for its critics: Bring it on. |
Wednesday, EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it was going ahead with one of the Obama administration's more controversial environmental regulation proposals—the so-called Waters of the United States rule. The new rule, using authority to reduce pollution in waterways under the 1972 Clean Water Act, says th... |
The proposal has drawn aggressive fire from congressional Republicans and industry groups, notably the agriculture industry. The rule, they say, represents a regulatory overstep that would give EPA power over streams, ditches, and other small waterways, potentially opening up routine activities to permit requirements. |
The House this month passed two legislative attempts to scale back the rule, one a rider on the energy and water appropriations bill, the other a bill from the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that would require EPA to withdraw the rule and write a new one. |
A bipartisan group of 12 senators introduced a bill in April that would also require EPA to rewrite its regulation, which cosponsor Republican Pat Roberts called "EPA's egregious federal overreach." |
But even EPA's outreach has attracted criticism. |
A New York Times story charged that EPA used grassroots campaigning to drum up positive comments for its rule and questions have arisen over an EPA-backed hashtag called #DitchTheMyth designed to beat back criticism of the rule. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe has said he'd like to pro... |
"EPA needs to be held accountable and confirm to the American people that it followed all relevant laws during the rule-making process before the WOTUS rule is finalized," the Louisiana Republican wrote. |
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said she'd "welcome anyone to take a look at what we do," calling the Times story "baffling." |
"The agency is doing what we have always done with outreach," McCarthy told reporters Wednesday. "This is our job, and we've done a good job, and there is no way in the world we have crossed a legal line." |
"The only people with reason to oppose the rule are polluters who knowingly threaten our clean water," said White House climate adviser Brian Deese. |
McCarthy said the listening tour for the rule was extensive and included more than 400 meetings with and direct outreach to several agricultural groups to hear their concerns. Since proposing the rule last year, EPA clarified its definition of tributaries and connections to downstream waterways, McCarthy said, trying t... |
It's a model that's becoming more common as the Obama administration works in its second term to solidify its environmental agenda, especially its climate-change agenda and rules limiting carbon emissions from new and existing power plants. Every environmental regulation is matched by intense industry backlash and a co... |
The water rule is meant to clarify what waterways are subject to federal oversight under the Clean Water Act, which EPA says was muddled by a pair of Supreme Court decisions that left it unclear how far upstream EPA had the power to control pollution. |
According to a blog post from the EPA and Army Corps, the rule summarized more than 1,200 scientific studies to determine which streams and wetlands have a role in impacting pollution in larger lakes and rivers downstream. The rule, for example, is meant to clarify that federal agencies won't regulate features like int... |
In response to concern from agriculture groups, the rule will also maintain exclusions for agricultural practices and would not interfere with private-property rights, according to the administration. |
Put simply, the rule regulates "features that look like and act like a tributary," said Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary for the Army for civil works. |
McCarthy said an effort was made to write "clear language with clear boundaries" backed by science in response to early criticism about what bodies would be covered. |
Environmentalists have backed the rule, saying it will drastically improve clean-water protections and help prevent incidents like a massive pollution breakout in Toledo last year that shut down water for the city for days. A poll released by the League of Conservation Voters this month found that 80 percent of 800 pol... |

Facebook has launched a new friend list feature, which seems like a page taken from Google’s book. |
In a blog post, the company explained it was introducing three new improvements to the platform. |
First is Smart Lists, which allows users to sort out the people on their list based on categories such as work, friends, family and acquaintances. This will make it easier for people to decide what to share and with whom - similar to what Google+ allows users with circles. |
Next is the Close Friends and Acquaintances Lists, which as the name indicates, allows users to separate their close friends from acquaintances. |
The third improvement is called Better Suggestions, which will make it easier for people to add friends to their lists. |
“Unlike your smart lists for your work, school, family and city, we don't create Close Friends and Acquaintances lists for you. Since these types of relationships are unique, it's important for you to decide who goes in your Close Friends, Acquaintances or Restricted lists -- if you use them at all,” the company explai... |
