__label__cc	0.697418	0.302582	Location Change this Also known as Change this Skybreak House, Architect Change this Jaffe House Change this Hertfordshire, United Kingdom by Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, ... Change this Description Change this In this house, the division of space into a series of top-lit zones, each stepped one above the other to make the best of the views, is a refinement of ideas already explored in previous housing schemes, as is the extension of the load-bearing brick cross walls to give external privacy. What is new is the internal flexibility inherent in the deep plan, with zones enlarged or reduced by means of sliding panels, and a structural system which allowed the house to be extended into the landscape. The house, like others of its period, combines traditional materials with factory-made components. It featured in the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange. Skybreak House offered a highly innovative model of flexible living. The client had asked for a house that could be adapted to a variety of uses, for both family and social occasions, and which could be extended easily as required. The eastern zone contains closed rooms for sleeping, washing and utility, while the non-structural walls allow for future change. The western zone is a fluid open space, a domestic concourse in three terraced stages. Two flights of three spreading steps each connect the stages. The upper two stages are square and the lowest, leading through sliding windows to the patio and garden, a double square. These were designated for study, dining and living respectively. At the far end of the lowest stage, a piano was placed before the window, so that the upper two terraces, with their balcony rails, assume the role of tiers in a theatre. A low wall separates the kitchen from the conservatory behind, which is reached by three narrow steps. With access in four directions to playroom, dining room, conservatory and the outside, through a utility room, and with oblique views to study and living rooms, the kitchen is not just the physical centre of the house but also its principal vantage-point. Skybreak presents implications of thorough flexibility that would lead rapidly away from wet-build methods and heavy structures towards prefabrication, light materials and new technologies. Interesting and noteworthy here is that such innovations were prompted less in the pursuit of maximised production of unit modules, than by a desire to refine and tune the quality and controllability of individual environments.

Affiliated Triple-A minor league baseball (MiLB): Location-map of the 2 leagues, the Pacific Coast League (PCL) & the International League (IL) - with 2015 attendances and MLB-team-affiliations noted By Bill Turianski on 11 April 2015; twitter.com/billsportsmaps.com. Elements of the map page… The location-map shows the top-minor-league/AAA affiliate of each Major League Baseball team – 30 teams from one of two Triple-A leagues: the Pacific Coast League (PCL) & the International League (IL). On the map, the teams are shown with their home-cap-crest and the cap-crest of their MLB parent-club. Flanking the map are the 2015 attendances of the teams, with the PCL teams on the far left of the map, and the International League teams on the far right. Listed in both the PCL & IL league-charts are: 1). 2015 Attendance figures (home regular season average attendance), 2). Change in crowd-size from previous season (numerical change from 2014), 3). Ballpark name, 4). Ballpark city-location, 5). Ballpark capacity (total capacity and seated capacities), 6). Year the ballpark was opened. Finally, a line has been inserted on the map, running north from the Florida panhandle, through the middle of Tennessee, then jogging west in Kentucky, and then running north again between Indiana and Illinois. This line denotes the division between the PCL-territory (to the west of the line), and the IL-territory (to the east of the line). In case you are wondering, the furthest-east PCL team – the Nashville Sounds, is slightly west of the furthest-west IL team – the Indianapolis Indians. In other words, there is no over-lap between the 2 leagues’ territorial ranges. But just barely. There are actually 3 Triple-A leagues within Minor League Baseball (which is run by Major League Baseball)… There are 3 Triple-A leagues: the International League, the Pacific Coast League, and the Mexican League. The International League and the Pacific Coast League are comprised of pro ball clubs at the Triple-A level which have an affiliation with one of the 30 Major League Baseball teams. But the Mexican League is comprised of pro ball clubs at the Triple-A level without any affiliations to MLB teams. {To see my map-and-post on the 2015 Mexican League, click on the following, Mexico: Liga Mexicana de Béisbol (LMB) (Mexican League), location-map/attendance-map (2014 figures), with active-clubs titles list.} The International League (IL)… -Baseball-reference.com/BR Bullpen blog/International League (baseball-reference.com/bullpen). The International League was established in 1884, with the modern-day International League re-established in 1912. As it says at the Baseball-reference.com blog, …”The “international” in the name was due to the league having teams in Toronto and Montréal for decades.”…{see this}. Currently [2016], the IL has 14 teams in 3 divisions. The IL spans the Northeast (6 teams), the South Atlantic Seaboard (4 teams), the eastern part of the Upper Midwest (3 teams), and the south-central Ohio River Valley (1 team). In 2015, the IL continued to be the highest-drawing minor league, averaging 7,199 per game (down 70 per game, from the 7,269 per game the IL averaged in 2014). The oldest team in the IL is the Rochester Red Wings… The Red Wings, of Rochester, New York, have been an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins since 2003, and have existed as a pro ball club in Rochester – continuously – since 1899 {source: baseball-reference.com/[city, Rochester NY]}. Along with the Toledo Mud Hens and the Syracuse Chiefs, the Rochester Red Wings are [tied for being the] second biggest pro sports team in the USA which is community-owned (the biggest community-owned team in the USA is, of course, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL)/{sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fan-owned_sports_teams#Baseball ; Rochester Community Baseball}. The Rochester Red Wings are tied with the Columbus Clippers (established 1977) for the most Governor’s Cup International League titles – 10. Columbus, a Cleveland Indians affiliate since 2009, won the 2015 International League title (their 3rd IL title in 6 years). But the Governor’s Cup title was established in 1933 as the trophy for the IL’s then-newly-established playoffs {see this, Governor’s Cup}. So if you count all International League titles, starting in 1912 [when the Eastern League (I) changed its name to the International League], Rochester has won 14 IL titles (and 20 minor league baseball titles, overall). Rochester’s last IL title was in 1997. The highest drawing team in the IL these days is the Charlotte Knights… The Charlotte Knights have basically tripled their fan-base ever since leaving their inadequate ballpark that was situated way out of town. That ballpark was about 19 miles south of the Charlotte, North Carolina city center – and was actually out-of-state, in Fort Mill, South Carolina. In 2013, the Knights drew a league-worst 3.0 K per game at that in-the-middle-of-nowhere ballpark. Now (since 2014), the Knights play in a sweet new 10.2 K-capacity ballpark in downtown Charlotte, which is called BB&T Ballpark (Charlotte) {see illustration below}, and the Charlotte Knights pack ‘em in to the tune of 9.4 K per game. That has made the Charlotte Knights (an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox) the highest-drawing minor league team in all of the USA, Canada, and Mexico {see MiLB 2015 attendance figures at the links section at the top of this post}. The other high-drawing teams in the International League are the Indianapolis Indians (a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate) and the aforementioned Columbus Clippers, both of whom draw above 9 K; while the Lehigh Valley IronPigs [of Allentown, PA] (a Philadelphia Phillies affiliate), and the Buffalo Bisons (a Toronto Blue Jays affiliate) both draw above 8 K. Below: BB&T Ballpark (Charlotte). Home of the Charlotte Knights (the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox).

The Pacific Coast League (PCL)… -Pacific Coast League/current teams (en.wikipedia.org). -Baseball-reference.com/BR Bullpen blog/Pacific Coast League (baseball-reference.com/bullpen). The Pacific Coast League was established in 1903. The PCL currently [2016] has 16 teams in 4 divisions within 2 conferences. The PCL spans not only the Pacific Coast but the entire Western United States (that whole area of the continental USA which is west of the Mississippi River) – plus 3 teams east of the Mississippi: one in New Orleans and two in Tennessee. The reason for the vast geographical spread of the Pacific Coast League is that, in 1997, the PCL absorbed 5 teams from the defunct American Association, which was Midwestern-US-based, and was the third Triple-A affiliated league back then. (Here are the 5 former-American-Association-teams that were absorbed into the PCL in 1997: Iowa Cubs, Nashville Sounds, New Orleans Zephyrs, Oklahoma City RedHawks [now nicknamed the Dodgers], Omaha Royals [now nicknamed the Storm Chasers].) In 2015, the PCL continued to be the second-highest-drawing minor league, averaging 6,508 per game (up 223 per game, from the 6,285 per game the PCL averaged in 2014). The PCL title-winner last year [2015] was the Fresno Grizzlies, who are a Houston Astros affiliate. The team with the most PCL titles no longer exists – that was the San Francisco Seals, who won 13 PCL titles before the team moved on (to Phoenix, AZ) after the 1957 season, to make way for big league baseball in the Bay Area, when the New York baseball Giants moved from New York City to become the San Francisco Giants in 1958. Here is a small map that I put together in 2009 which shows the old, Golden-Age/early 1950s Pacfic Coast League… Original source of image above – [PCL, 2009 map (incl. Golden Age of PCL/1950s map).] (billsportsmaps.com/MiLB Triple A) The oldest city-location in the PCL is in Sacramento, California… Sacramento’s first PCL team was in 1903, with several franchise-shifts since then; the current ball club there moved from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Sacramento in 2000, becoming the River Cats. The Sacramento River Cats, an affiliate of the nearby San Francisco Giants, are perennially the highest-drawing PCL team, and were again in 2015, drawing 9.3 K per game. The other high-drawing teams in the PCL are the Round Rock Express [of Greater Austin, TX] (a Texas Rangers affiliate), the El Paso Chihuahuas [est. 2014] (a San Diego Padres affiliate), and the Albuquerque Isotopes (a Colorado Rockies affiliate). [Side-note: the Albuqueque Isotopes are (brilliantly) named after the fictional ball club which moved from Springfield to Albuquerque, in a famous 2001 episode of The Simpsons/ see this article from Telegraph.co.uk, from May 2015 by Rebecca Hawkes: The Simpsons: 27 times real life echoed the show/ and see #19 there: 'When the Albuquerque Isotopes became a real baseball team'.] Those 3 teams – Round Rock Express, El Paso Chihuahuas, and Albuquerque Isotopes – all drew above 8 K last season [2015]. A team that drew very close to 8 K last year was the Nashville Sounds, who drew 7.9 K (and increased their crowd-size by over 3 thousand per game), thanks to their brand-new 10-K-capacity ballpark in the downtown of the Music City, First Tennessee Park.

Plus the top 3 highest drawing teams, the top 10-highest percent-capacities…. The QMJHL, one of 3 major junior hockey leagues in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL)… The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) is one of three Canadian major junior hockey leagues, along with the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Western Hockey League (WHL). Since 1971-72, the 3 leagues have sent their league-champion to compete for the Memorial Cup title. Since 1975-76, the 3 leagues together comprise the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The 3 CHL leagues are for players aged 16 to 20 – there are no restrictions for the amount of USA-born players on each team; however, non-Canadian-&-American players (ie, European and Russian players) are restricted to 2 per team roster. The 3 leagues of the CHL are quite a big deal, because approximately 54% of all NHL players, currently, were drafted from either the OHL, the WHL, or the QMJHL. {Citation: see 2nd paragraph, here [Ontario Hockey League page at en.wikipedia.org].} Click on image below for: Location-map of all the teams in the 3 leagues which comprise the Canadian Hockey League (CHL/60 teams)… The CHL is an umbrella-organization for the 3 leagues; there is no inter-league play except for the post-season tournament…the CHL has a four-team playoff tournament – the Memorial Cup, which is played at a different host-city each May. (Note: see 4 paragraphs below for more info about the Memorial Cup.) On the map page… The map page shows the locations (and the logos) of the 18 QMJHL teams -12 of which are in the Canadian province of Quebec, 3 of which are in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, 2 of which are in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and one of which is in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. The locations of all the NHL teams from the Eastern Canada/upper-north-east-USA region are also shown on the map. The map itself is a section of a blank map of Canada, which I found at Wikipedia Commons (and which was not available 7-and-a-half years ago, when I made my first map of the QMJHL). I cropped and enlarged that blank map, then I drew in the St. Lawrence River’s river banks in the area between Kingston, ON and Quebec City, QC – because the original map did not show that. I also added the Ottawa River, which makes up a large part of the boundary between the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Then I added one more detail – bridges – and shown on the map is the 12.9 km/8 mile-long bridge which connects mainland Canada (in New Brunswick) to the province of Prince Edward Island (the Confederation Bridge). I also included the two eastern-most bridges which span the St. Lawrence River and connect southern Quebec to the rest of Quebec, at Quebec City: the Quebec Bridge and the Pierre Laporte Bridge. (East of Quebec City, the river widens considerably and no bridge is feasible for the rest of the length of the St. Lawrence River, as the river makes its way north-east to the Atlantic Ocean at the Gulf Of St. Lawrence.) On the right-hand-side of the map page is a chart for the QMJHL which shows 7 things… 1). 2015-16 average attendances of the 22 QMJHL teams, ranked {source: Quebec Major Junior Hockey League 2015-16 Attendance Graph (hockeydb.com)}. 2). Home arena seated capacity of the 18 QMJHL teams. 3). Percent-capacity for each team in 2015-16 [Percent Capacity equals Average Attendance divided by Arena-seated-capacity] (ie, how well the team fills its arena). 4). Metropolitan-area population of each team’s home-city (or home-town). {Source: List of census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada [2011 census figures] (en.wikipedia.org).} 5). Season the QMJHL team began play in its present-day location. 6). QMJHL titles (and the year of last title/ since 1966-67). 7). CHL/Memorial Cup titles (and the year of last title/ since 1971-72)/ see notes below. Notes on the Memorial Cup title / CHL title… The Memorial Cup was instituted in 1919, and was named in remembrance of the Canadians who died in the Great War (World War I). From 1919 to 1971, the Cup was contested between 2 teams: the best junior team each season from Eastern Canada versus the best junior team from Western Canada. (The winner won that season’s Memorial Cup title.) The current format of the Memorial Cup tournament dates to 1971-72, when a 3-team playoff tournament was created. The tournament at that point [1972] involved the champion from each of the 3 leagues: •The-long-established-[1933]-and-now-20-team OHL. •The-established-in-1966-and-now-22-team-WHL. •The-then-newly-established-[1971]-and-now-18-team-QMJHL. 4 years later [1975], the arrangement was formalized with the institution of the Canadian Hockey League – which, again, is the governing body of the OHL/WHL/QMJHL. In 1982-83, the Memorial Cup tournament was expanded to a 4th team, with the host-city’s team given a place in the competition. (There is a different host-city for the Memorial Cup each May/ see next paragraph.) Currently, the 60 teams in the CHL (from the 3 member-leagues), which hail from 9 Canadian provinces and 4 American states, compete for the chance to qualify for the Memorial Cup tournament and win the Memorial Cup title/CHL title. Red Deer, Alberta will host the 2016 Memorial Cup… 2016 Memorial Cup (en.wikipedia.org). The 2016 Memorial Cup tournament will be held at the 6,000-capacity ENMAX Centrium in Red Deer, Alberta, with the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels the host-team. The tournament will run from May 19th to May 29th, 2016. List of Memorial Cup champions (en.wikipedia.org). QMJHL teams that have won Memorial Cup titles (1969-2015) 1971: Quebec Remparts (I) (Quebec City, QC QMJHL charter franchise (I) (1969-70 to 1984-85)// defunct). 1972: Cornwall Royals (Cornwall, ON QMJHL charter franchise (1969-70 to 1991-92)/in 1992 transferred over to the OHL & moved to Newmarket, ON (1992-94)/in 1994 moved to Sarnia, ON/present-day Sarnia Sting). 1980: Cornwall Royals (see above). 1996: Granby Predateurs (Granby, QC QMJHL expansion franchise (1981-82 to 1996-97)/in 1997 moved to Cape Breton, NS/present-day Cape Breton Screaming Eagles). 1997: Hull Olympiques (Hull, QC QMJHL charter franchise (1969-70 to present)/present-day Gatineau Olympiques). 2000: Rimouski Oceanique (Sherbrooke, QC QMJHL charter franchise (1969-70 to 1981-82)/in 1982 moved to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC (1982-95)/in 1995 moved to Rimouski, QC/present-day Rimouski Oceanique). 2006: Quebec Remparts (II) (Beauport [Greater Quebec City], QC QMJHL expansion franchise (1990-91 to 1996-97)/ moved ~5 km west & became 2nd Quebec City, QC QMJHL franchise (1997-98 to present)/present-day Quebec Remparts (II) ). 2011: Saint John Sea Dogs (Saint John, NB QMJHL expansion franchise (2005-06 to present). 2012: Shawingan Cataractes (Shawingan, QC QMJHL charter franchise (1969-70 to present). 2013: Halifax Mooseheads (Halifax, NS QMJHL expansion franchise (1994-95 to present).

Leicester City FC – the unlikely champions of England in 2016 (at 5000-to-1 odds)… Question: where is Leicester? Answer: As you can see in the small map below, Leicester is near the centre of England – in Leicestershire – which is in the East Midlands. Leicester is 144 km (89 mi) NW of London, by road. Leicester’s nearest major city is Nottingham (which is also in the East Midlands)…Leicester is 44 km (27 mi) S of Nottingham, by road. Also, Leicester is nearby another major city – Birmingham (which is in the West Midlands)… Leicester is 53 km (33 mi) ENE of Birmingham, by road. {Source: distancefromto.net.} There is something which makes Leicester stand out from other British cities..”This is the first city in the United Kingdom with less than 50 percent of the population identifying as “white British”…” {quote from We’ve Come to Win the League, by Wright Thompson at espn.go.com}. With about 755,000 people residing in Greater Leicester, Leicester is the 16th-largest metropolitan-area in the United Kingdom, and the 12th-largest metro-area in England. {Source/2011 figures: List of metropolitan areas in the United Kingdom (en.wikipedia.org).} Aerial view of King Power Stadium (home of Leicester City FC), with the city of Leicester in the background, photo by Plumb Images via gettyimages.in.

"First off, the talent when you're talking about some of the top tackles and ends in the business — that that in itself is difficult. And then when you put it with an outstanding scheme, then you really have a challenge."Brees said Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh comprise the best interior defensive line he's faced since he was at Purdue and played a Georgia team fielding Marcus Stroud and Richard Seymour in the 2000 Outback Bowl (Georgia won, 28-25)."At this level, it's really unheard of to have Suh and Donald in there," Brees said. "Those guys are unbelievable."Donald and Suh have combined for 13 sacks, with Donald getting 10.The Saints so far have held up well against the pass rush. Brees has been sacked nine times and generally has had enough time to make accurate throws. He was intercepted for the first time Sunday night in Minnesota when an edge-rusher was unblocked and closing quickly on him.Offensively, New Orleans ranks eighth in yards per game and second in points per game at 33.4. Brees' passing numbers have gone down lately, but more because of New Orleans' ability to run the ball more and control the clock with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension.The Saints are 3-0 since Ingram's return and have won six straight overall after losing to Tampa Bay in the season opener.But the unbeaten Rams rank second offensively in yards per game (442.6) and have averaged 33 points, which rank third.Brees sees similarities between the Saints when he and Sean Payton first joined forces 13 seasons ago, and the Rams under 32-year-old offensive-minded head coach Sean McVay and 24-year-old Jared Goff, the 2016 top overall draft choice."We like to feel like over the last 13 years that we've kind of been at the forefront of offensive football ... taking the personnel that you have and being able to utilize it in some really unique ways," Brees said."You can't help but turn on the film and be intrigued by the things that they're doing. Obviously, I think Jared Goff is playing as well as anybody right now. He's got a bunch of weapons there at the receiver position that are lighting it up, Todd Gurley, one of the best backs in the league."Brees said that while he doesn't know McVay well, he said the Rams coach's youthful energy, enthusiasm and offensive background remind him of Payton to some extent, starting with the fact they both played quarterback in college and had offensive backgrounds as NFL assistants before their first head coaching jobs."What I've seen from his offenses and what I hear about him is there's a lot of those same traits, and it makes it really, really fun to play for a guy like that, because it makes it exciting and it gives you a ton of confidence," Brees said.Brees also said it is apparent that the pairing of McVay with Goff "was a great match."Saints defensive end Cam Jordan said his unit should be confident in its ability to slow Los Angeles if it plays largely mistake-free schematically and tackles well throughout Samson Ebukam Jersey , especially against Gurley."When we're able to execute at a high level, I don't think there's anybody on the field that can stop us. We have to be able to do that for all 60 minutes though," Jordan said.Notes: Saints rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport missed practice because of a toe injury. He did not confirm reports that he would be out for about a month, saying he's seeking multiple opinions and hasn't ruled out playing against the Rams on Sunday. He played with the injury at Minnesota, where he had two sacks, giving him a total of four through his first seven NFL games. The injury occurred during his sack of the Vikings' Kirk Cousins in the third quarter. Davenport said he had to play differently afterward, and tried to "not think about it and just go out there and try to ball and take as many chances as I could." The Steelers, Packers, Seahawks and Raiders have byes this week, and the real roster management challenge begins.Four or more teams will be off in each of the next five weeks. This is the stretch where depth either really pays off or can hurt your outlook if you are not informed and dedicated enough. But do take one week at a time, especially if you have superstars off this week. We're most notably without the services of all the prime Pittsburgh skill position players, the Packers passing game pieces, plus Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson.RUNNING BACKSMARLON MACK, Colts (26.4 percent owned): Projected to be the lead back in Indianapolis this year, Mack finally returned from a hamstring injury last week and rushed for 89 yards on 12 carries. He is not going to be a regular starter for you but can be a good fill-in for bye or injury purposes. This week, faces Buffalo's 18th ranked run defense, which makes him an adequate replacement play.ITO SMITH, Falcons (13.7): The rookie remains widely available despite TD runs in three consecutive games. A total of 62 rushing yards during that span may be a prime reason he is still on many waiver wires. But the RB position is tough enough to deal with when there are not four-team byes and you may need to use Smith as a sub. On a very good offense, he should continue to get some opportunities to finish off scoring drives.RAHEEM MOSTERT, 49ers (0.1): After flashing some spark in the preseason, Mostert surprisingly received some playing time against the 49ers Monday night and rushed for 87 yards on 12 carries. Mostert displayed good vision and patience and added some more speed to the Niners offense. Mostert may only be a part-timer going forward Authentic Austin Blythe Jersey , but depth is obviously needed at this position right now.NICK CHUBB, Browns (22.2): Carlos Hyde has only 12 total points in point per reception formats in his last two games and appears to have hit some sort of invisible wall. Hue Jackson has indicated he needs to get Chubb more work and Hyde could also force him into an expanded role at any time when you consider his injury history.WIDE RECEIVERSMARQUISE GOODWIN, 49ers (43.6): Injuries hindered Goodwin until this week, and he was cut in 8.9 percent of leagues last week. Goodwin, who was drafted as a potential WR3 with upside in the preseason, then re-emerged in a big way with four catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Goodwin is not only back on the fantasy radar, but at a high cost as he may be the most sought-after waiver pickup of the week.JERMAINE KEARSE, Jets (0.9): Quincy Enunwa is out for at least three weeks with a high ankle sprain and Kearse stepped into the void quickly in Week 6, catching nine passes for 94 yards. Kearse is a veteran receiver who should have the trust of rookie QB Sam Darnold, especially after he performed adequately at times for the Jets last season.JOSH REYNOLDS. Rams (0.4): He is in the waiver conversation again with Cooper Kupp out with a knee injury. Reynolds may be third on the receiving ladder for the Rams this week, but you can consider him for bye week usage when you note he faces San Francisco's 20th-ranked pass defense, a unit which has often looked even worse than that rating.TAYLOR GABRIEL, Bears (32.6): The emergence of the Bears offense over the past two games has included the sudden rise of Gabriel as a featured playmaker. He has caught 12 passes for 214 yards and two TDs during that span. Gabriel is getting more volume than expected, which could quell some concerns that he may be a boom-or-bust type.TIGHT ENDO.J. Howard, Buccaneers (36.5): Considering the thin state of the position, if you need help at TE, Howard should be your top priority this week. He returned rather quickly from a knee injury this past week and caught four passes for 62 yards and a TD. Howard already has three double figure PPR performances this year. He was regarded as a top TE prospect coming out of last year's draft and could be on the verge of a real breakout in a pass-happy offense.QUARTERBACKC.J. BEATHARD, 49ers (5.7): Beathard has played better than expected, having scored 18 to 19 fantasy points in standard scoring over the past three games, with two TD passes in each and 298 or more yards in two outings. He can keep his team in games or playing catch-up. Beathard is looking like a viable fantasy QB2, and against the Rams' 29th-ranked pass defense this week, he is a good sub for Ben Roethlisberger or Aaron Rodgers.

At the same time, recalculated historic emissions have been released, which for some countries make a considerable difference¹ (also with regard to Climate Debt in ClimatePositions). The updated calculations are available in ‘Calculation (Excel)‘, and new rankings of 163 countries are available in the menu “Climate Debt”. The table below shows World average, and the 15 countries with the largest per capita CO2 Emissions from Fossil Fuels and industrial processes in 2016, in tons, in comparison with average emissions 1990-1999, 2000-2009 and 2010-2015. by Claus Andersen in / Climate Debt / CO2 Emissions / Indicator updates / Website info Global Carbon Project (CDIAC), located in the United States, stops publishing carbon emissions data by country – will be replaced by EDGAR in ClimatePositions The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), located at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has published annual Carbon Emissions from Fossil Fuels and cement production by country since 1959 (‘Global Carbon Project‘), but now this continuous time series has come to an end and 2015 will be the last data-year (as it seems). Since carbon emissions data from CDIAC (Global Carbon Project) is the core ‘Indicator‘ in ClimatePositions’ calculation of Climate Debt, carbon emissions data will be replaced with nearly similar data from ‘EDGAR‘ (‘European Commission‘ / ‘Climate Action‘), retroactively since 1990, in connection with the coming updates [done 16-08-2017]. The following describes the differences between CO2 Emissions data from Global Carbon Project (CDIAC) and EDGAR (sourced: European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC)/Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL). Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR)), and the consequences in terms of Climate Debt in ClimatePositions – illustrated with a range of country examples. Note that other sources, such as ‘IEA‘, ‘EIA‘ and ‘BP‘, provides CO2 Emissions data-sets different from the ones of CDIAC and EDGAR. by Claus Andersen in / Climate Debt / CO2 Emissions / Forest / GDP(ppp-$) / Population Climate Change Performance: Vietnam vs. United Arab Emirates (UAE) The difference in climate change performance of Vietnam and United Arab Emirates (UAE) is somewhat educational. Vietnam’s Climate Debt is $14 per capita, while the authoritarian oil state of UAEs is $10,884 (see the latest ‘Ranking‘). The two countries are the world’s 27th and 28th largest emitters of CO2 from Fossil Fuels (without bunker) and cement – combined, they emitted 0.52 % of the global CO2 in 2015. The following examines the ‘Indicators‘ of CO2 Emissions, Population, GDP(ppp-$) and Forest Cover (including Primary Forest). First, the diagram below shows the national shares of the global Climate Debt, in 2017 and 2012. Both countries increased their shares in recent years, although at completely different levels and in unalike ways. by Claus Andersen in / Boycotts and Sanctions / Climate Debt / CO2 Emissions / GDP(ppp-$) My own climate change boycott country-list Without been fanatical about it, I seek to boycott the greediest and most climate-destructive countries on the planet. For the fairness, I have divided the fifteen nominees into two leagues: A) Countries with per capita Climate Debts more than 10 times world average: Qatar, Kuwait, Brunei, Luxembourg, Trinidad and Tobago, United Arab Emirates and Oman. B) Countries with per capita Climate Debts between 5 and 10 times world average: Saudi Arabia, United States, Bahrain, Australia, Norway, Equatorial Guinea, Canada and South Korea. Feel free to copy… Among the fifteen countries only Luxembourg and South Korea are not among the world’s twenty largest per capita Fossil Fuel producers (read the article: ‘How green are the fossil fuel producers? (Correlation between fossil fuel production, CO2 Emissions, GDP and Climate Debt)‘. The table below shows some key data of the fifteen countries. The table is read like this: 1) Between 1990 and 1999 Qatar emitted 55.1 tons of CO2 from Fossil Fuels (without bunker) and cement, annually per capita, 2) Between 2000 and 2015 Qatar emitted 51.7 tons (the average Climate Debt Free Level¹ was 32.4 tons), and 3) Qatars GDP(ppp) per capita was $143,788 in 2015. by Claus Andersen in / Climate Debt / CO2 Emissions / Environmental Performance / GDP(ppp-$) Climate Debt: Oman ranks 5th (more emissions to come!) The current Omani Climate Debt, accumulated since 2000, is $9,645 per capita and the ‘Ranking’ is 5th among 148 countries. According to the bizarre Omani ‘COP21 Submission 2015’ the wealthy authoritarian oil state is planning to increase GHG-emissions by only(!?) 22% by 2030 compared to 2015. The implementation of this (extremely climate destructive) target is, even more ludicrous, conditioned upon “assistance provided by the UNFCCC on finance, capacity building and transfer of technology”. The following examines Oman’s CO2 Emissions, Environmental Performance, GDP(ppp-$) and Climate Debt. Climate Destruction League: Bahrain vs. Oman The small authoritarian Islamic oil regimes of Bahrain and Oman are ranked 6th and 8th among 147 countries on the worst performing list (see the ‘ranking’). 0.06% of the global population lives in Bahrain or Oman and together they emitted 0.30% of the global CO2 from fossil fuels in 2012 – their joint share of the global Climate Debt is around 0.66%. Bahrain’s per capita Climate Debt is now $8,668 and Oman’s is $8,077. Renewable energy and global climate change financing are largely non-existent in both countries. Welcome to Climate Destruction League. by Claus Andersen in / Climate Debt / CO2 Emissions / GDP(ppp-$) How green are the fossil fuel producers? (Correlation between fossil fuel production, CO2 Emissions, GDP and Climate Debt) Greenhouse gas emissions from burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal), is the main cause of manmade climate change. Comparable energy potentials of oil, natural gas and coal is defined as “tons oil equivalents”, meaning that the energy released from a given quantity of natural gas or coal is equivalent to one ton of oil. This way the total production of fossil fuels can be expressed in a single figure (not to be confused with market value, global warming potential or general usefulness) The world’s production in million tons oil equivalent, was in 2013: oil (4,130), natural gas (3,041 and coal (3,881). The table below ranks the twenty countries with the largest per capita fossil fuel production (oil equivalents). Total production data of 68 countries is from ‘BPs Statistical Review of World Energy 2014’ (pdf, 48 pages).	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0037.json.gz/line22

__label__wiki	0.747301	0.747301	Vallens share album stream for ‘Consent’ June 22, 2016 cultureaddicts indie, music, new release, news, Uncategorized 0 Vallens have shared their debut album ‘Consent,’ which will be out June 24 via Hand Drawn Dracula. Take a listen to the stream of the album via Soundcloud below. The songs on ‘Consent’ are quite dark and discuss important issues to songwriter Robyn Phillips, such as the title track of the album Consent. The song is about various issues around consent, consent to have a stranger talk to you, no means no, why women have to do something triply better than a man to be considered, and the ever underlying sense that women only do things for the attention of men. Robyn Phillips created Vallens in late 2014 to serve as her performance alter ego, secretly constructing her own world of music alone while playing guitar and gigging in various Toronto projects. The Vallens moniker allowed Robyn to introduce her own sound within the scene under the influence of namesake, David Lynch’s Dorothy Vallens. Conjuring the likes of Rowland S. Howard, Wire, Angelo Badalamenti and Portishead; Vallens has been living deep in the construction of her first record Consent (Due June 24th, 2016 on Hand Drawn Dracula). The album was recorded and produced by Josh Korody (Beliefs, Nailbiter) at Candle Recording in Toronto, as well as with Jeff Berner (Psychic TV) at Galumium Foil in Brooklyn, NY. The themes on Consent evoke the tension and stratosphere of Robyn’s early years and what it means to be female in our society. In the past year Vallens has expanded to a full band (Colin Morgan – drums, Marta Cikojevic – synth & keyboards and Devon Henderson – bass) who have shaped and influenced Robyn’s further writing. The project debuted live in 2015 and quickly captured the attention of music critics, promoters, and the local music scene. Vallens has since been invited to perform at NXNE, POP Montreal, M for Montreal, and CMJ, as well they’ve shared the stage with Frankie Cosmos, Freak Heat Waves, Porches, MOURN, Ringo Deathstarr, U.S Girls, A Place to Bury Strangers, Speedy Ortiz, Dilly Dally and La Luz. 1.

__label__wiki	0.620113	0.620113	How should law schools address emerging technologies? [Christian] On 01/18/2022, in 21st century, algorithms, Blockchain, business, change, changing business models, cloud-based computing / apps / other cloud-related, Daniel S. Christian, emerging technologies, internet, law schools, legislatures / government / legal, platforms, policy, political science, by Daniel Christian I post the following item because I’ve often wondered how law schools should best handle/address the area of emerging technologies. It’s not just newly-minted lawyers that need to be aware of these technologies’ potential pros and cons — and the developing laws around them. It’s also judges, legislators, politicians, C-Suites, and others who need to keep a pulse check on these things. Hermès Sues NFT Creator Over ‘MetaBirkin’ Sales — from by Robert Williams The French leather goods giant alleges trademark infringement and dilutive use of its iconic Birkin name. The complaint, which was first reported on The Fashion Law, raises questions about how trademark protections for real-world items will be enforced in the digital realm as commercial activity heats up in the metaverse. Brands including Balenciaga and Nike are experimenting with virtual fashion. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs (unique digital assets authenticated using blockchain technology), depicting fashion items have sold for millions in recent months. Should students be discussing this topic? How about the rest of us? [Christian] On 01/17/2022, in 21st century, global / globalization, legislatures / government / legal, political science, robotics, by Daniel Christian UN fails to agree on ‘killer robot’ ban as nations pour billions into autonomous weapons research — from robohub.org by James Dawes Autonomous weapon systems – commonly known as killer robots – may have killed human beings for the first time ever last year, according to a recent United Nations Security Council report on the Libyan civil war. History could well identify this as the starting point of the next major arms race, one that has the potential to be humanity’s final one. The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons debated the question of banning autonomous weapons at its once-every-five-years review meeting in Geneva Dec. 13-17, 2021, but didn’t reach consensus on a ban. Established in 1983, the convention has been updated regularly to restrict some of the world’s cruelest conventional weapons, including land mines, booby traps and incendiary weapons. Should Economics classes be looking at the idea of a digital dollar? [Christian] On 01/17/2022, in 21st century, colleges, community colleges, economics, legislatures / government / legal, platforms, policy, political science, United States, by Daniel Christian Should Economics classes be looking at the idea of a digital dollar? The battle for control of the digital dollar — from protocol.com After months of delay, the Federal Reserve’s much-awaited report on a digital dollar could be out soon. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday that the white paper on a planned central bank digital currency (CBDC) is “ready to go,” possibly in weeks. But don’t expect a detailed blueprint for an American CBDC. The white paper will be more of “an exercise in asking questions” about how the digital dollar should work, Powell said. And there are plenty of questions. Some have already sparked a heated debate: How should consumers gain access to the digital dollar? And how much control should the Fed have? Will a digital dollar lead to “digital authoritarianism”? That’s one of the biggest fears about a digital currency: a Big Brother future where the Fed has the power to track how people spend their money. What?!?

While the value of the contract might seem just a drop in the bucket for the agency’s nearly $10 billion budget, the contract was significant in that it cemented the agency’s relationship with the controversial firm. The FBI previously acknowledged using Clearview AI to the Government Accountability Office but did not specify if it had a contract with the company. What?!? Isn’t this yet another foot in the door for Clearview AI and the like? Is this the kind of world that we want to create for our kids?! Will our kids have any privacy whatsoever? I feel so powerless to effect change here. This technology, like other techs, will have a life of its own. Don’t think it will stop at finding criminals.

International efforts to restrict such weapons have so far failed. This may be remembered as the year when the world learned that lethal autonomous weapons had moved from a futuristic worry to a battlefield reality. It’s also the year when policymakers failed to agree on what to do about it. On Friday, 120 countries participating in the United Nations’ Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons could not agree on whether to limit the development or use of lethal autonomous weapons. Instead, they pledged to continue and “intensify” discussions. What is the role of the American Bar Association (ABA) in this?

Fingas Critics are worried the company is patenting invasive tech. Clearview AI is about to get formal acknowledgment for its controversial facial recognition technology. Politico reports Clearview has received a US Patent and Trademark Office “notice of allowance” indicating officials will approve a filing for its system, which scans faces across public internet data to find people from government lists and security camera footage. The company just has to pay administrative fees to secure the patent. In a Politico interview, Clearview founder Hoan Ton-That claimed this was the first facial recognition patent involving “large-scale internet data.” The firm sells its tool to government clients (including law enforcement) hoping to accelerate searches. As you might imagine, there’s a concern the USPTO is effectively blessing Clearview’s technology and giving the company a chance to grow despite widespread objections to its technology’s very existence.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCHERS are facing a problem of accountability: How do you try to ensure decisions are responsible when the decision maker is not a responsible person, but rather an algorithm? Right now, only a handful of people and organizations have the power—and resources—to automate decision-making. Since leaving Google, Gebru has been developing an independent research institute to show a new model for responsible and ethical AI research. The institute aims to answer similar questions as her Ethical AI team, without fraught incentives of private, federal, or academic research—and without ties to corporations or the Department of Defense. “Our goal is not to make Google more money; it’s not to help the Defense Department figure out how to kill more people more efficiently,” she said. What does our society need to do to respond to this exponential pace of technological change? And where is the legal realm here? Speaking of the pace of change…the following quote from The Future Direction And Vision For AI (from marktechpost.com by Imtiaz Adam) speaks to massive changes in this decade as well: The next generation will feature 5G alongside AI and will lead to a new generation of Tech superstars in addition to some of the existing ones. In future the variety, volume and velocity of data is likely to substantially increase as we move to the era of 5G and devices at the Edge of the network. The author argues that our experience of development with AI and the arrival of 3G followed by 4G networks will be dramatically overshadowed with the arrival of AI meets 5G and the IoT leading to the rise of the AIoT where the Edge of the network will become key for product and service innovation and business growth.

Soon after ratifying our Constitution, Americans adopted a Bill of Rights to guard against the powerful government we had just created—enumerating guarantees such as freedom of expression and assembly, rights to due process and fair trials, and protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Throughout our history we have had to reinterpret, reaffirm, and periodically expand these rights. In the 21st century, we need a “bill of rights” to guard against the powerful technologies we have created. Our country should clarify the rights and freedoms we expect data-driven technologies to respect. What exactly those are will require discussion, but here are some possibilities: your right to know when and how AI is influencing a decision that affects your civil rights and civil liberties; your freedom from being subjected to AI that hasn’t been carefully audited to ensure that it’s accurate, unbiased, and has been trained on sufficiently representative data sets; your freedom from pervasive or discriminatory surveillance and monitoring in your home, community, and workplace; and your right to meaningful recourse if the use of an algorithm harms you. In the coming months, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (which we lead) will be developing such a bill of rights, working with partners and experts across the federal government, in academia, civil society, the private sector, and communities all over the country. Technology can only work for everyone if everyone is included, so we want to hear from and engage with everyone. You can email us directly at ai-equity@ostp.eop.gov. Constitution Day 2021: An Inspiring and Incomplete Civil Justice System [Yellen] On 09/20/2021, in history, ideas, law schools, legislatures / government / legal, political science, society, United States, by Daniel Christian Constitution Day 2021: An Inspiring and Incomplete Civil Justice System — from legaltechmonitor.com by David Yellen Constitution Day, September 17, commemorates that date in 1787 when the delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia. Clearly, this date and this holiday do not attract nearly as much attention as July 4, the holiday marking the signing of the other foundational document of the United States, the Declaration of Independence. That is somewhat lamentable, however, because all Americans should take the time to celebrate and reflect on the Constitution each year. I say celebrate because the Constitution was remarkable when it was written, and has served as the basic architecture for our system of government, law, and individual liberty for over 200 years. Not only has it remained the steadfast backbone of our country’s system of government, it has influenced new and evolving democracies around the world. Despite the challenges, we believe the American legal system is still the best approach—and we believe all of us share a responsibility to embrace its ideals, expand access, and improve delivery.

The projects are in various areas, from industrial park infrastructure, electronics, plastics, wood, agro-fishery processing, for-export leather and footwear, to housing, culture, sports and tourism, waste treatment and water supply. Several projects in trade and the environment are also seeking investors. Among the projects, the biggest one aims to build housing for workers on an area of 60 hectares in Chau Thanh District at an estimated cost of nearly VND3.7 trillion. Another project is inviting investors to build technical infrastructure for the 210.5-ha Xeo Ro industrial park in An Bien District, with costs estimated at VND3.61 trillion. The province will publicise the list and detailed information on the projects, along with incentives and policies for potential investors. The provincial administration will continue to intensify administrative procedure reform with a view to creating an open and favourable environment for investors. Nine-month export earnings rises Kien Giang Province earned over $526 million in export value in the first nine months of 2021, meeting over 70 per cent of the year’s plan and posting a year-on-year rise of nearly 2 per cent, according to the provincial Department of Industry and Trade. Accordingly, shipments of rice raked in $181.28 million, seafood $172.76 million, leather footwear $84.25 million and others $78.2 million. The province’s trade via Ha Tien and Giang Thanh international border gates was valued at over $90 million in the period, of which exports expanded nearly 10 per cent compared to the same period last year to $55.11 million. Despite difficulties brought by the ongoing pandemic, the province aims to post an export turnover of more than $203 million in the fourth quarter so as to bring the total to $730 million for the whole year, up 7 per cent compared to the previous year. To realise the target, relevant agencies are asked to keep a close watch on the situation at home and abroad, with a focus on markets of countries that have brought COVID-19 under control and high demand for goods at the end of the year, especially major celebrations. It will also continue helping local firms roll out COVID-19 preventive measures and vaccination for workers, and send outstanding products to international trade fairs. — VNS Tags Kien Giang Province industrial park infrastructure Quang Ninh to apply sandbox model to tourism Apparel industry struggles to reach export target this year due to COVID-19 ADB to support Vietnamese tech start-ups with $1 million fund Vinh Phuc reaps success in attracting FDI Agricultural sectors see trade surplus in first nine months of this year, despite COVID-19 restrictions Retail sales to increase 3-4% by the year-end, says MoIT Govt' to consider zero-interest loans for all airlines First three wind-power plants put into use in Soc Trang Province Dong Nai Province factories reopen but face labour shortage Business associations unhappy with weekly tests for vaccinated, recovered workers Taiwan Textile Roadshow opens in Ha Noi Domestic investors help to create records in securities market FTAs unlock opportunities for Australian investment: workshop EU remains highly potential importer of Vietnamese rice Chamber of Commerce sets out vision for 2021-26	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0037.json.gz/line41

Performance is a real buzz word for this Donegal team, and the lack of a performance is as puzzling as it is devastating. “We were looking for a performance today, a real quality performance, and had we got that we could have lived with any result,” the Buncrana man said in the access tunnel under the Hogan Stand in the hour after Sunday’s All-Ireland final defeat. “We have to give Kerry credit in that they did frustrate us, but ultimately we played well within ourselves. “That’s the hardest thing to take.” Having conceded a first minute goal to Paul Geaney and a point soon after, Donegal battled back into the game and held Kerry to just two points for the next half hour managing to go into the half time break all square. While Donegal also responded strongly to Kieran Donaghy’s 52nd minute goal, the effort to get back within a point of Kerry took its toll. “The first goal was pot luck,” McGonigle said. “The ball goes in there and we had questioned whether Paddy McGrath was the right man or not in that position – Geaney has a good pair of hands and finished well. “The second goal was just one of these things that happens. And when it happens in a final, you get crucified by a team of the calibre of Kerry. “We could have absorbed those goals if we were playing well, but when you’re not playing well and give them away, you struggle.” Paddy McBrearty hit two points in two minutes, and Neil McGee curled over a cracker as Donegal hit three on the trot to come back within a point, but Kerry pushed on again and Donegal could not re-ignite the spark. “Paddy McBrearty came in and did what he has been doing in recent games for us. “He made a very significant impact and kicked a couple of good scores, but they hit a wonder score [through Johnny Buckley] and we couldn’t get back to level, or nudge ahead. “We needed a brilliant block, or an interception, something that would have driven us on to play the way we can play. “But that spark just never came. “It came after 20-odd minutes in the Dublin game, but it never came today at all. We had a couple of half goal chances, but we just didn’t deserve to win today and the best team won. “If we had played as well as we could, we would probably have won by 5 or 6 points.

"Since being commissioned into China's Air Force, the Y-20 has had its tests and flight trials going smoothly," said Tang Changhong, Y-20 chief designer and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. "We have started the phase of boundary limit flight tests for full validation of the model," said Tang. Designed and manufactured by the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), the Y-20 boasts a maximum takeoff weight of around 200 tonnes. It is ideal for transporting cargo and people over long distances in diverse weather conditions, according to AVIC. "As a large aerial platform, the Y-20 will continue flight tests and improvements," Tang said, adding he was confident in its performance. The Y-20 large transport aircraft has undergone its first airborne and air delivery trials, the Chinese air force announced Tuesday. Air force spokesperson Shen Jinke said it marked a leap in strategic delivery and long-distance airborne combat abilities. Strategic capability should extend wherever China's national interests reach to provide reliable air security for the country's development, he added. The Y-20 made its maiden flight in January 2013, and debuted at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in November 2014. On July 6, 2016, it officially joined China's air force. Officially codenamed Kunpeng, after a mythical bird that could fly vast distances, it is nicknamed "Chubby Girl" for its deep, wide fuselage. Variants could be developed in the future, said Tang.

The first game of the series began on Friday with the Laker student section decked in white and fired up for this special series. The fans were going crazy even before warmups started. Even at the beginning, the intensity was in the air, with the Laker faithful setting the stage for the two-game spectacle. The first period was jampacked with seemingly flawless hockey. Officials seemed to let the players play, which ultimately led to a scoreless period. But danger struck when two Lakers were sent to the penalty box, and the Buckeyes took advantage of a five-on-three at the 15-minute, 30-second mark to draw first blood.But the Buckeyes weren’t finished, as they added another power-play goal to make the score 2-0. They piled on by adding a third goal to light the lamp at the 17:15 mark. But the Lakers woke up, and defenseman Cade Townsend tallied the first goal for the Lakers to gie the loud crowd something to cheer about.But then, with three seconds remaining in the second, the Buckeyes would cap off the period with another goal to take a 4-1 lead over the Lakers into the third period. The third period began with a bang, with forward Steven Ipri lighting the lamp 41 seconds into the third, cutting the Buckeye lead in half at 4-2.But when things appeared good and momentum was shifting in favor of the Lakers, the Buckeyes scored 54 seconds later. That tally ended up making it 5-2, and the Buckeyes eventually added two more goals to take the first game of the series 7-2 over the Lakers. The second game of the series, which was played once again at the Mercyhurst Ice Center on Oct. 26, had a slow beginning compared to the first.Game two was not as action-packed as the first game and began with a little bit of chippiness on both sides. However, the Buckeyes capitalized early at 9:09 of the first period.Just 26 seconds later, the Lakers evened the score with winger Dalton Hunter scoring the first goal for the Lakers. The Buckeyes would score two more times in the second period, and the Lakers did not manage a response. This resulted in the final score being 3-1, making the Buckeyes the victors of the two-game home series. After the second game, coach Rick Gotkin shared what he thought of the series against the Buckeyes.“They were the better team,” he said. “They’re the No. 15 team in the country and with seven NHL draft picks playing, I was proud of our team. I thought we had a really bad second period (Friday), our first period was okay and our third was okay (Friday). (On Saturday) though, I loved our competetiveness and I loved the way we stuck with it. We had chances and I liked a lot of things we did.” The Lakers are now 2-4 (they have not played any games in conference to date) for the 2019-2020 season so far.Gotkin is looking ahead to the Lakers’ next series against Bentley University. The Lakers will travel to Waltham, Massachusetts for a pair of games Friday and Saturday against Bentley. “We’re just getting better,” Gotkin said. “We had seven freshman dressed and eight sophomores and we just have to keep competing.”Bentley is currently 2-3 overall and 1-2 in the Atlantic Hockey Association.
