Mark Giannotto checking in from a mostly empty Kettler Capitals Iceplex this morning... A groggy Bruce Boudreau just spoke with the media after arriving back into town from Florida at 2 a.m. First and foremost on his mind were the injuries suffered by defensemen Mike Green (upper body) and Jeff Schultz (lower body) during last night's 4-1 victory over Florida. Both Green and Schultz will be "game-time...
In a piece entitled The PIN is mightier than the Pen , TVNZ reports on the recent announcement that Australia will eliminate signatures completely by 2013. Wonder when they'll rid the world wide web of hackers' all-time favorite product, "signature debit." Here's an excerpt: Your PIN, not your pen, will become the form of confirmation for card payments as signatures start to be phased out...
November is here so it's time for my penultimate legend. Next week will bring the long-hoped-for opportunity to see three Motown Divas: Mable John (the first woman ever signed to the label), Chris Clark and Brenda Holloway. This month I am celebrating a Diva who sadly died nearly 40 years ago. Tammi Terrell lived a life that sounds like the sort of plotline Halle Berry would give her eyeliner to play...
Well that's certainly interesting. Wonder what that does for the future of "signature" debit. Interestingly, Visa also vetted online banking and established a 2012 "mandate" by announcing a requirement by banks to ensure cardholders have a Verified by Visa password for online banking. According to IT News/Australia , Visa today announced it would mandate a move to chip and PIN...
A great day for the club at the 50th running of this race, this afternoon in Keswick. Keswick AC ladies (Jo Gillyon -1:12:56, Debbie Edgington -1:14:06, and Gill Conroy -1:14:48) won the ladies team prize, and Keswick AC men (Phil Winskill -57:34, Steve Hebblethwaite -58:16, and Matthew Fraser -1:00:53) won the 50 year old men's-team trophy, not won by the club at this compettitive race since 1995....
There is no doubt about the Washington Capitals' ultimate goal this season: It begins and ends with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman handing the Stanley Cup to captain Chris Clark. Along the way, there are other goals for the Caps to cross off their checklist, including capturing a third consecutive Southeast Division title and the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. As the season moves into its second...
The theme of Friday's very optional morning skate at KCI was a simple one: To a man, the Capitals know they need to keep their intensity up even after establishing a sizable lead. The 4-3 win against Atlanta last night was the latest installment in what is becoming a dangerous habit for the Capitals, who allow teams back into games far to often. "Sometimes a win is a win, but we want to come away...
EIRCOM IS damaging the competitiveness of Irish telecommunications by mounting legal challenges to decisions of the Communications Regulator (ComReg), according to Chris Clark, chief executive of BT Ireland.
It seems to be Motown time yet again, with Smokey Robinson appearing on the BBC's Electric Proms concert last night and the Divas of Motown tour hitting London in a couple of weeks time. Smokey looks ridiculously young given that it's a good 50 years since his beautiful light voice was first heard on record. But his voice soounds as sweet as ever and his poetic lyrics still sound fresh and original....
WASHINGTON – A year ago, Robin and Robb Wirthlin went to Riverside Wesleyan Church in Sacramento to warn Californians what they feared might happen if gay marriage remained legal in the state. The Mormon couple from Massachusetts, who were also featured in television advertisements in California, said they were horrified after gay marriage was legalized in their own state. They said their 7-year-old...
(Kevin C. Cox / Getty Images) Jeff Schultz racked up three points and three others (Alexandre Giroux, Eric Fehr and Chris Clark) also scored their first goals of the season, but Coach Bruce Boudreau wasn't exactly thrilled with a 5-4 victory over the Thrashers at Philips Arena. "It wasn't a textbook game, I'll tell you," Boudreau said. "I thought both teams were really sloppy. Both teams...
Back in those dark days of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, there were nights when the Capitals lost, and fans, coaches, and players alike yet could say that it felt like a win. Such was the relationship between expectations (not much) and results (occasionally playing elite teams close). Well, that was then. Now, the relationship of expectations to results has changed. Fans, players, and coaches expect big...
Yup, those who average a goal every 29.3 seconds earn the right to celebrate. (AP Photo/John Bazemore) Capitals 5, Thrashers 4 : Last night's game between Washington and Atlanta was a tight affair for the first thirty minutes. It was at that point that the Caps unleased an offensive fury, the likes of which hasn't been seen since that glorious day when I mastered the unstoppable wraparound glitch...
Jeff Schultz, Matt Bradley and Chris Clark scored in an 88-second span of the second period, Semyon Varlamov stopped 22 shots and the Washington Capitals beat the Atlanta Thrashers 5-4 on Thursday night for their third straight win.
