The Jets tied it at 3 when Roslovic fired a shot off a broken play around the Ducks' net at the 6:19 mark of the third. This came quickly after Kesler's goal at the 5:48 mark of the third put the Ducks ahead 3-2. Kesler fired a shot from a side angle to Hellebuyck that beat the netminder.
At the 2:25 mark of the second period, Winnipeg tied it at 2 when Ritchie turned the puck over at his own blue line, which led to Jacob Trouba and Tanev breaking in uncontested on Gibson. Trouba then fed the puck to Tanev, who buried the shot past Gibson.
Anaheim took a 2-1 lead 1:24 into the second period when Henrique's shot deflected off Ritchie and past Hellebuyck.
Henrique has nine goals and 15 points in 25 games since being traded to Anaheim from New Jersey on Nov. 30.

More than two years after the American Medical Association declared obesity a disease, a strong majority of Americans believe Congress should approve legislation to require Medicare to cover FDA-approved medicines to treat obesity.
87 percent of Americans believe obesity is a problem in their state.
69 percent of Americans believe Medicare should expand coverage to include prescription obesity medicines.
77 percent were unaware that federal law specifically prohibits Medicare from covering patient costs for prescription obesity medicines.
69 percent of Americans were unaware that the FDA has found that current prescription obesity medicines are safe and effective in treating obesity.
Under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, Medicare is prohibited from covering prescription obesity medicines. In the 13 years since the legislation passed, however, multiple medicines have been approved as safe and effective by the FDA.
The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act, which was introduced by Congress last year, would require Medicare to cover prescription obesity medicines. The legislation enjoys significant bipartisan support including 11 cosponsors in the Senate and 125 cosponsors in the House.
"Public policy and society seldom associate obesity with advanced age," said The Gerontological Society of America Executive Director and CEO James Appleby, BSPharm, MPH. "But recent research has shown that, for those who are over 65 and significantly overweight, the risk of mortality is far greater that it is for younger individuals with excessive body weight. The preponderance of evidence is clear: Obesity at an older age carries with it a plethora of health problems like diabetes and heart disease and the likelihood of premature death"
"Medicare must begin covering medicines to treat obesity because chronic diseases are a primary driver of higher costs in the Medicare system and, as we know, obesity is a primary cause of chronic disease," former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said. "Common sense tells us that if Medicare begins covering these medicines, it would reduce the long term costs associated with obesity-related chronic diseases."
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted December 9 to 15, 2015, on behalf of The Gerontological Society of America. For the survey, a sample of 1,006 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii was interviewed online in English. The poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents. Post-hoc weights were made to the population characteristics on gender, age, region, race/ethnicity and income.

In science, space and time are intimately linked. So it's no surprise that some new high-end watches are looking to space travel and technology to attract the timepiece connoisseur. From taking the first, cautious steps on the moon to commanding a space station or plotting escape from a desolate planet, these high-tech, space-themed watches may put you in an exploratory mind-set for the holidays.
When Citizen unveiled the new Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F900 in October, it enlisted the aid of famed scientists Brian Greene and Oded Aharonson to ponder the nature of time itself. "We don't know what time is," Greene said at the unveiling, adding that humanity has been really successful at building devices that measure time at ever greater accuracy. But a fundamental definition of time? "We just don't know," he said.
The Citizen Satellite Wave line of GPS watches harnesses the precision of global positioning satellites to instantly sync to the right time — in only 3 seconds, if given the time zone. Or, it can figure out its location anywhere in the world within 30 seconds. It has a superlight, titanium analog frame and two wedge-shaped buttons designed to echo the body of a satellite.
Plus, the dial's look is inspired by the satellites' power-giving solar panels, which is not surprising, considering the Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F900 runs on sunlight. The entire watch face takes in light to power the mechanism; it can last up to 7 years in the dark before dying by entering a special power-save mode.
This new Martian Alpha watch combines aspects of a smartwatch with a reliable analog body — perfect for people stranded on Mars with no cell reception. The watch runs off of an ordinary, long-lasting watch battery, plus a five-day rechargeable one powering a small screen that can display text messages and notifications, take voice commands and let you know the weather. Plus, customized vibration patterns can be programmed to notify users of different events.
It might not have much to do with space, but the analog watch plus subtle smartwatch interface could be an out-of-this-world combination.
The watches worn on the moon were all the same, rigorously tested model (with one exception — see next entry): Omega Speedmasters. The astronauts on NASA's first crewed spaceflights picked out the watches to wear on their own, but afterward, they were chosen officially after extensive testing — one particular Speedmaster model was the only one to survive temperatures over 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius), being frozen, experiencing 40 times the normal pull of gravity, being in a 100 percent oxygen environment and more. Then, it was sent to the moon as NASA's official watch.
Omega's newest Speedmaster commemorates the Apollo 13 mission's 45th anniversary in 2015 and NASA's Silver Snoopy award, which the mission's astronauts received upon their safe return to Earth. The award celebrates outstanding achievements in spaceflight safety and mission success — and the astronauts certainly earned them after recovering from an in-flight explosion and landing safely. The watch is black and white, like a comic strip, and has messages on the face referencing the Apollo 13 mission as well as a small sleeping Snoopy. The iconic cartoon figure appears again on the back, engraved floating in space, as on the real Silver Snoopy award.
The only privately owned watch worn outside on the moon was recently auctioned off for $1.625 million. A replica of that watch, a Bulova prototype design brought as a backup by Apollo 15 commander David Scott, will go on sale in January 2016 for a significantly less-lofty price.
The watch will come with two straps: one leather band and a Velcro one based on the kind that affixed it to the astronaut's arm on the moon's surface. It also has superluminous hands and a new calendar display added on to the original design. Not bad for a $1,624,450 discount!
SpaceTek, a company working to accelerate the commercial space agency, and the watch company Giorgio Fedon teamed up with retired astronaut Clayton Anderson to put together an official Space Explorer watch. SpaceTek hopes astronauts aboard their planned Private Space Station (with a launch date of 2017) will wear these watches to stay on track. They bear Anderson's signature on the back as well as an 8-hour glow, the day and date, and a stopwatch.
Anderson himself has spent 152 days on the International Space Station and conducted six spacewalks outside of the station — operations that rely on precise timing and choreography to lead astronauts through the dangerous open-space tasks without harm.
OWN’s “The Haves and the Have Nots” experienced a minor dip this week in the Tuesday cable ratings, falling one tenth from its previous 0.8 to a 0.7 rating in adults 18-49. The Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” also fell slightly from a 0.7 last week to a 0.5 this time around.
After several weeks of small drops as well, “Pretty Little Liars” managed to tick up one tenth from a 0.5 to a 0.6, while TNT’s “Animal Kingdom” dipped one tenth to a 0.4.

Coordinator for the P2P lending task force at the Indonesian FinTech Association and the CEO and cofounder of Modalku.
The involvement of financial technology (fintech) companies in the field of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has attracted attention from the public and regulators, namely the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI). Players within the financial services ecosystem expect P2P lending to become a solution for the lack of access to financial services in the country and to achieve financial inclusion through synergy with other financial institutions and technology companies.
P2P lending is a digital platform that brings together borrowers – mostly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) – seeking a capital injection and lenders aiming for competitive returns.
The platform offers numerous advantages over banking services. For example, its flexibility allows it to channel capital to virtually anyone, in any amount, effectively and transparently, at low interest rates.
Financial services like P2P lending promise to be a solution for Indonesia, which has been struggling to overcome a bundle of problems: First, Indonesia still has to increase financial inclusion. The Indonesian FinTech Association has reported that 49 million SMEs are not bankable, as they are unable to provide collateral to access conventional loans. P2P lending can help creditworthy SMEs by providing loans without collateral.
Second, Indonesia must overcome regional disparities in financing across the archipelago. Some 60 percent of financing services are now concentrated in Java. P2P lending, meanwhile, can reach anyone in any place.
Third, there is a gap in infrastructure financing of Rp 1,000 trillion (US$73.9 billion) annually. The existing financial institutions can only provide about Rp 700 trillion in loans of the total annual demand of Rp 1,700 trillion. With lower overhead costs, combined with innovative credit scoring algorithms, P2P lending can close the gap in the infrastructure financing.
These potential opportunities show that P2P lending is actually the essence of financial inclusion. It can offer financial services to a new market segment, particularly to those who have not yet been reached by existing financial institutions.
P2P lending has been growing significantly to reach a huge number of transactions in China, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Learning from other countries, the potential of P2P lending can be optimized through collaboration with banks. China, for instance, has a dynamic SME ecosystem that allows support from financing services. In that environment, the number of P2P lending companies has soared over the past five years, while that of banks in China has doubled.
As one of the pioneers in P2P lending in Indonesia, Modalku, along with its sister company Funding Societies in Singapore and Malaysia, has successfully established collaboration with several prominent banks, such as Bank Sinarmas, DBS and RHB.
Despite its huge potential, P2P lending should be regulated carefully. The role of regulators is highly needed to nurture a healthy business ecosystem. There should be comprehensive policies regarding fintech business establishment and operation, the creation of innovative services that are safe for customers and efforts to maintain healthy competition. Business players, through the Indonesian FinTech Association, support policies that are both pro-business and pro-user.
To ensure business safety, a significant capital ownership requirement (above Rp 20 billion) would be an important part in a selection mechanism and for quality control, since P2P lending is a capital-intensive and scalable business.
Hendrikus Passagi, a senior executive researcher at the OJK’s strategic policy development department, has repeatedly emphasized that P2P lending providers should have capacity and ability to mitigate risk to protect customers and national interests.
P2P lending firms must also guarantee the security of public funds and data while maintaining reasonable interest rates to ensure the financial health of the public.
As for the protection of national interests, P2P lending firms must be able to prevent the risks of money laundering and terrorism financing, while anticipating any disruption to the financial system. Hence, service providers are not allowed to touch customers’ funds and instead must use escrow and virtual accounts.
Even though P2P lending is the ‘new kid’ in the financial ecosystem, the service, with the help of new regulations, is believed to be able to grow progressively and provide solutions to improve welfare.
CHARLEVOIX - A burglar alarm and a quick response by police led to the arrest of a man who police said broke into a Charlevoix-area business early today, Wednesday.
Charlevoix County Undersheriff Don Schneider said police were called to the Esperance Deli and Wine shop on U.S. 31 North just north of the city limits in Charlevoix Township just before 3 a.m. when dispatchers received word of an alarm activation at the business.
Schneider said city police officer Peter Schrift was first on the scene and discovered a broken window on a side door to the business. A short time later police arrested a 27-year-old man as he was trying to leave the business.
Sheriff's office evidence technicians and detectives were still on the scene late into the morning hours as the investigation continued, Schneider said.
The undersheriff said investigators will be seeking warrants from the Charlevoix County Prosecutor's office today and noted that charges in addition to the breaking and entering may also be forthcoming.
Police were not releasing the suspect's identity pending his arraignment in 90th District Court.
Schneider commended Schrift for his assistance to the sheriff's office in his response to the incident.
EUROCRATS have splurged up to £800,000 of taxpayers' cash on new flatscreen tellies for pampered MEPs.
Officials at the European Parliament have installed 43-inch screens in the private offices of all 751 representatives in Brussels.
British euro MPs were stunned to find they've been included in the refit even though they'll be losing their jobs in just six months' time.
As the work has been carried out before our exit, UK taxpayers could be on the hook for around £100,000.
Brit MEP James Carver fumed: "“This is another startling example of the EU gravy train and why I voted myself out of a job.
Two sources told The Sun that MEPs were all sent an email before the summer break saying that their TV sets would be updated.
Each has now been given a 43-inch flatscreen LG model, which retail for around £530 each, to replace their older, smaller ones.
The new tellies feature 192 channels in 24 different languages which representatives can now enjoy in their offices.
But Mr Carver, a former Ukip MEP who went independent earlier this year, questioned why the refit was necessary.
He raged: “We weren't consulted about this expenditure and have been given no rationale why it has been determined MEPs need to watch TV during the day.
evenings, not while I’m being paid to do my job as an MEP."
The EU Parliament did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

The Pentagon is working to encircle Eurasia and surround the Eurasian Triple Entente composed of China, Russia, and Iran. For every reaction, however, there is a counter-reaction.
Neither one of these three Eurasian powers will sit ideally as passive US targets. Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran are all taking their own distinct counter-measures to oppose the Pentagon’s strategy of military encirclement.
In the Indian Ocean the Chinese are developing their military infrastructure under what the Pentagon calls the Chinese “string of pearls.” Iran is going through a process of naval expansion, which is seeing it deploy its maritime forces further and further from its home waters in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. All three Eurasian powers, along with several of their allies, also have naval vessels stationed off the shorelines of Yemen, Djibouti, and Somalia in the geo-strategically important maritime corridor of the Gulf of Aden.
The US global missile shield is a component of the Pentagon’s strategy to encircle Eurasia and these three powers. In the first instance, this military system is aimed at establishing the nuclear primacy of the US by neutralizing any Russian or Chinese nuclear response to a US or NATO attack. The global missile shield is aimed at preventing any reaction or nuclear “second strike” by the Russians and Chinese to a nuclear “first strike” by the Pentagon.
All the new reports about branches of the US missile shield being established in other parts of the world are sensationalized in terms of how they are portraying its geographic expansion as a new development. These reports ignore the fact that the missile shield was designed to be a global system with components strategically positioned across the world from the onset. The Pentagon had planned this in the 1990s and maybe much earlier. Japan and the Pentagon’s NATO allies have more or less been partners in the military project from the start.
Years ago both the Chinese and Russians were aware of the Pentagon’s global ambitions for the missile shield and made joint statements condemning it as a destabilizing project that would disturb the global strategic balance of power. China and Russia even jointly issued multilateral statements in July 2000 with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan warning that the creation of the Pentagon’s global missile shield would work against international peace and that it contravened the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. The US government was repeatedly warned that the steps it was taking would polarize the globe with hostilities that would be reminiscent of the Cold War. The warning fell on deaf and arrogant ears.
The Russians are now rebutting the Pentagon’s global missile shield through very practical steps of their own. These steps involve an expansion of their country’s presence in the high seas and an upgrade of their naval capabilities. Moscow plans on opening new naval bases outside of its home waters and outside of both the shorelines of the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.
The Russian Federation already has two naval bases outside of Russian territory; one is in the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol in the Black Sea and the other is in the Syrian port of Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea. The Kremlin is now looking at the Caribbean Sea, South China Sea, and eastern coast of Africa (in close proximity to the Gulf of Aden) as suitable locations for new Russian bases. Cuba, Vietnam, and the Seychelles are the prime candidates to host new Russian naval bases in these waters.
The Russians already had a presence in Vietnam’s Cam Ranh Bay until 2002. The Vietnamese port was home to the Soviets since 1979 and then hosted Russian forces after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Russia also continued to have a post-Soviet military presence in Cuba until 2001 through the Lourdes intelligence signal base that monitored the US.
The Kremlin is additionally developing its military infrastructure on its Arctic coast. New Arctic naval bases in the north are going to be opened. This is part of an overlap with the careful Russian strategy that includes the Arctic Circle. It is drawn with two dual functions in mind. One function is to protect Russian territorial and energy interests against NATO states in the Lomonosov Ridge. The other purpose is to serve the Russian global maritime strategy.
Moscow realizes that the US and NATO want to restrictively hem in its maritime forces in the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea. US and EU moves to control and restrict Russian maritime access to Syria is an indicator of this strategic inclination and objective. The moves to strategically hem in Russian marine forces are one of the reasons that the Kremlin wants naval bases in the Caribbean, South China Sea, and eastern coast of Africa.
The development of Russia’s Arctic naval infrastructure and the opening of Russian naval bases in places like Cuba, Vietnam, and the Seychelles would virtually guarantee the global presence of Russian naval forces. Russian vessels would have multiple points of entry into international waters and secure docking bases abroad. These bases will give the Russians permanent docking facilities in both the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean too.
The future overseas naval bases, like the one is Syria, are not being referred to as “naval bases” by Russian officials, but by other terms. Moscow is calling them “supply points” or bases for naval logistics to make them sound far less threatening. The nomenclature does not really matter. The functions of these naval facilities, however, are for the strategic military purposes that are being outlined.
The Russians at present only have permanent docking bases on their own national coastlines in the Arctic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Moreover, Russia’s naval infrastructure in the Russian Far East, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, has the greatest access to open international waters. Moscow’s naval infrastructure in the Baltic is geographically in a constrained environment and could be immobilized, like Russia’s naval infrastructure in the Black Sea, in the event of a confrontation with the US and NATO. The addition of the naval infrastructure in places like Cuba would effectively guarantee that Russia’s naval forces will have a free hand and not be hemmed in by the US and its allies.
Historically, the mandate of the naval forces of the Russian Armed Forces has been to protect the Russian coast. Both Russia and the Soviet Union based their defensive strategies on countering a major land invasion. For this reason both the characteristics of the Russian and Soviet naval forces were always based on functions aimed at helping fight a land-based invasion. Thus, the Russian naval fleet has not been structured as an offensive attack force. This, however, is changing as part of Moscow’s reaction to the Pentagon’s strategy of encirclement.
Russia, like both China and Iran, is now focusing on sea power.
