As the War was nearing its close, Theodore Roosevelt responded in the Kansas City Star with a blistering assessment of the Fourteen Points that President Wilson was seeking to make the basis of the peace:
THE European nations have been told that the fourteen points enumerated in President Wilson's message of January last are to be the basis of peace. It is, therefore, possible that Americans may like to know what they are. It is even possible that they may like to guess what they mean, although I am not certain that such guessing is permitted by the Postmaster-General and the Attorney-General under the new theory of making democracy safe for all kinds of peoples abroad who have never heard of it by interpreting democracy at home as meaning that it is unlawful for the people to express any except favorable opinions of the way in which the public servants of the people transact the public business. The first point forbids " all private international understandings of any kind," and says there must be " open covenants of peace, openly arrived at," and announces that " diplomacy shall always proceed frankly in the public view." The President has recently waged war on Haiti and San Domingo and rendered democracy within these two small former republics and has kept all that he has done in the matter absolutely secret. If he means what he says, he will at once announce what open covenant of peace he has openly arrived at with these two little republics, which he has deprived of their right of self-determination. He will also announce what public international understanding, if any, he now has with these two republics, whose soil he is at present occupying with the armed forces of the United States and hundreds of whose citizens have been killed by these armed forces. If he has no such public understanding, he will tell us why, and whether he has any private international understanding, or whether he invaded and conquered them and deprived them of the right of self- determination without any attempt to reach any understanding, either private or public.
Moreover, he has just sent abroad on a diplomatic mission Mr. House, of Texas. Mr. House is not in the public service of the Nation, but he is in the private service of Mr. Wilson. He is usually
called Colonel House. In his official or semi-official biography, published in an ardently admiring New York paper, it is explained that he was once appointed colonel on a governor s staff, but carried his dislike of military ostentation to the point of giving his uniform to a negro servant to wear on social occasions. This attitude of respect for the uniform makes the President feel that he is peculiarly fit to negotiate on behalf of our fighting men abroad for whom the uniform is sacred. Associated with him is an editor of the New York World, which paper has recently been busy in denouncing as foolish the demand made by so many Americans for unconditional surrender by Germany.
I do not doubt that these two gentlemen possess charming social attributes and much private worth, but as they are sent over on a diplomatic mission, presumably vitally affecting the whole country, and as their instructions and purposes are shrouded in
profound mystery, it seems permissible to ask President Wilson why in this particular instance diplomacy does not " proceed frankly in the public view " ?
This first one of the fourteen points offers such an illuminating opportunity to test promise as to the future by performance in the present that I have considered it at some length. The other thirteen points and the subsequent points laid down as further requirements for peace I shall briefly take up in another article.
THE second in the fourteen points deals with freedom of the seas. It makes no distinction between freeing the seas from murder like that continually practiced by Germany and freeing them from blockade of contraband merchandise, which is the practice of a right universally enjoyed by belligerents, and at this moment practiced by the United States. Either this proposal is meaningless or it is a mischievous concession to Germany.
The third point promises free trade among all the nations, unless the words are designedly used to conceal President Wilson s true meaning. This would deny to our country the right to make a tariff to protect its citizens, and especially its working-men, against Germany or China or any other country. Apparently this is desired on the ground that the incidental domestic disaster to this country will prevent other countries from feeling hostile to us. The supposition is foolish. England practiced free trade and yet Germany hated England particularly, and Turkey practiced free trade without deserving or obtaining friendship from any one except those who desired to exploit her.
The fourth point provides that this Nation, like every other, is to reduce its armaments to the lowest limit consistent with domestic safety. Either this is language deliberately used to deceive or else it means that we are to scrap our army and navy and prevent riot by means of a national constabulary, like the state constabulary of New York or Pennsylvania.
Point five proposes that colonial claims shall all be treated on the same basis. Unless the language is deliberately used to deceive, this means that we are to restore to our brutal enemy the colonies taken by our allies while they were defending us from this enemy. The proposition is probably meaningless. If it is not, it is monstrous. Point six deals with Russia. It probably means nothing, but if it means anything, it provides that America shall share on equal terms with other nations, including Germany, Austria, and Turkey, in giving Russia assistance. The whole proposition
would not be particularly out of place in a college
sophomore s exercise in rhetoric.
Point seven deals with Belgium and is entirely proper and commonplace.
Point eight deals with Alsace-Lorraine and is couched in language which betrays Mr. Wilson s besetting sin his inability to speak in a straight forward manner. He may mean that Alsace and
Lorraine must be restored to France, in which case he is right. He may mean that a plebiscite must be held, in which case he is playing Germany s evil game.
Point nine deals with Italy, and is right.
Point ten deals with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and is so foolish that even President Wilson has since abandoned it.
Point eleven proposes that we, together with other nations, including apparently Germany, Austria, and Hungary, shall guarantee justice in the Balkan Peninsula. As this would also guarantee our being from time to time engaged in war over matters in which we had no interest whatever, it is worth while inquiring whether President Wilson proposes that we wage these wars with the national constabulary to which he desired to reduce our armed forces.
Point twelve proposes to perpetuate the infamy of Turkish rule in Europe, and as a sop to the conscience of humanity proposes to give the subject races autonomy, a slippery word which in a case like this is useful only for rhetorical purposes.
Point thirteen proposes an independent Poland, which is right; and then proposes that we guarantee its integrity in the event of future war, which is preposterous unless we intend to become a military nation more fit for overseas warfare than Germany is at present.
Point fourteen proposes a general association of nations to guarantee to great and small states alike political independence and territorial integrity. It is dishonorable to make this proposition so long as President Wilson continues to act as he is now acting in Haiti and San Domingo. In its essence Mr. Wilson s proposition for a league of nations seems to be akin to the holy alliance of the nations of Europe a century ago, which worked such mischief that the Monroe Doctrine was called into being especially to combat it. If it is designed to do away with nationalism, it will work nothing but mischief. If it is devised in sane fashion as an addition to nationalism and as an addition to preparing our own strength for our own defense, it may do a small amount of good ;
but it will certainly accomplish nothing if more than a moderate amount is attempted and probably the best first step would be to make the existing league of the Allies a going concern.
As to the supplementary points or proposals, the four advanced or laid down in February were sound moral aphorisms of no value save as they may be defined in each particular case.
But the supplementary five proposals set forth by President Wilson last September were, on the whole, mischievous and were capable of a construction that would make them ruinous in their essence. They set forth the doctrine that there must be no discrimination between our friends and our enemies and no special economic or political alliances among friendly nations, but uniform treatment of all the league of nations; the said league, therefore, to include Germany, Austria, Turkey, and Russia upon a footing of equality of our allies. Either the words used mean
nothing or they mean that we are to enter a league in which we make-believe that our deadly enemies, stained with every kind of brutality and treachery, are as worthy of friendship as the Allies who have fought our battles for four years. No wonder that the proposal is enthusiastically applauded by Germany, Austria, and Turkey and by all our own pro-Germans and pacifists and Germanized Socialists and anti- American internationalists. It is the kind of proposition made by cold-blooded men who at least care nothing for the sufferings of others. It is eagerly championed by foolish and hysterical sentimentalists. It is accepted and used for sinister purposes by powerful and cynical wrongdoers. When the President was making this proposition and
during the subsequent month Germany was committing inhuman murders of the people on the Ticonderoga and Leinster at sea, and on shore was committing every species of murder, rape, enslavement, plunder, and outrage as her armies withdrew from France and Belgium.
President Wilson s announcement was a notice to the malefactors that they would not be punished for the murders. Let us treat the league of nations only as an addition to, and not as a substitute for, thorough preparedness and intense nationalism on our part. Let none of the present international criminals be admitted until a sufficient number of years has passed to make us sure it has repented. Make con duct the test of admission to the league. In every crisis judge each nation by its conduct. Therefore, at the present time let us stand by our friends and against our enemies.

text: Iran on Tuesday blasted Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for "saber rattling" after he threatened unilateral action to prevent the Islamic Republic from gaining nuclear weapons, AFP reported.Iran's Deputy Ambassador to the UN warned that "the Israeli prime minister had better not even think about attacking Iran, let alone planning for that," The New York Times quoted Khodadad Seifi as saying in immediate response to Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu, in his address said Israel would "stand alone," if it deems diplomacy has reached a dead end, to thwart Tehran from developing a nuclear arsenal. Seifi told the assembly that Netanahu's remarks had been "inflammatory"."Iran's centuries-old policy of nonaggression must not be interpreted as its inability to defend itself," the Times quoted the Iranian diplomat as stating. Meanwhile, Iran's ambassador to the UN accused Netanyahu as "misleading" the assembly on the purpose of Iran's nuclear program. "Iran has an inalienable right to peaceful nuclear energy," said Mohammed Khazaee. Khazaee also echoed his president's words, saying "There is no single acceptable reason to possess a nuclear weapon, but agreeable reasons to abolish them all. Nuclear weapons have no place in the defense structuring of my country."Without ever referring to Netanyahu by name, he further poked fun at the Israeli Prime Minister, saying he was "trying to be more royal than than the king," and was still trying misleading the UN about the Iranian nuclear program, "but unlike last year, he did not bring the cartoon drawings."Maya Shwayder contributed to this report.

The 2016 MLB Draft begins Thursday night. Teams have had scouts checking out players across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, looking for those prospects they feel will help a franchise contend.
They have watched them play games. They have talked to them about their life goals. Players have taken tests that are supposed to determine aptitude and toughness.
For all the preparation and planning, however, good fortune becomes a factor when it's time to make a selection.
• Complete Draft coverage
In the spring of 1965, baseball was preparing for its first Draft, and the process was nowhere as sophisticated as it is today.
Billy Capps, a former Minor League player and longtime scout, was scouring his territory in north Texas and Oklahoma when he happened upon a game in Binger, Okla., a town with a population of 600 or so, located where U.S. 281 and Oklahoma Highway 152 cross.
Capps stopped to watch a few innings, but he stayed the entire game. Capps was awestruck by the high school catcher. The next morning, Capps put in a call to Cubs scouting director Gene Lawing to sing the praises of Johnny Bench. Lawing didn't have any information on Bench, so he decided to touch base with his friend Jim McLaughlin, who was the Reds' farm director.
McLaughlin didn't have any information on Bench either. McLaughlin quickly dispatched a scout to check this unknown phenom, and in MLB's first Draft, it was the Reds who used the 36th overall pick to call the name of Bench.
The third team was the charm for the Rockies and Todd Helton. Helton was a second-round Draft choice of the Padres out of high school in 1992, and he appeared ready to sign with San Diego. Scouting director Reggie Waller, however, showed up at Helton's home with a contract that was $50,000 less than the figure that had been discussed. Waller initially blamed it on a clerical error. He then offered to race Helton in a 60-yard dash for double-or-nothing on the difference. Waller may have said it in jest, but Helton didn't see it that way. He asked Waller to leave, and he followed up on his commitment to play quarterback and baseball at the University of Tennessee.
Three years later, having given way to Peyton Manning in the Volunteers' backfield, Helton was back in the Draft. The A's, with the fifth overall pick, made it well known that their selection was going to be the left-handed-hitting first baseman. As the Draft began, however, A's president Sandy Alderson informed scouting director Dick Bogart that the team needed pitching help in a hurry and mandated the selection of Cuban defector Ariel Prieto, who was playing for an independent league team in Palm Springs, Calif.
The Rockies, selecting eighth, never had discussions with Helton prior to the Draft, because it was so certain he was going to the A's, but Colorado wound up picking him just the same. The Rockies signed him in a matter of days.
There was no question that Ken Griffey Jr., was the most talented player 1987 Draft. The Mariners had the first pick and owner George Argyros, who lived in Orange County, Calif., preferred right-hander Mike Harkey of California State University at Fullerton.
When the final grade cards came in, Griffey and Harkey had the same point total from the Mariners' scouts, all of whom were convinced Griffey was the best choice. Knowing Argyros would order Harkey's selection if he saw the grades, Seattle's scouting staff reworked the rankings so that Griffey came out clearly ahead. Griffey became the first player taken in that year's Draft.
Griffey will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in July.
Ryne Sandberg was selected by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 1978 Draft. It wasn't like Sandberg was an unknown. Back then, signing bonus money rarely reached six figures, and Sandberg was a big-time prep quarterback, whose full-ride offers included every school in what was then the Pac-8, as well as Notre Dame.
Sandberg, however, kept telling scouts he was interested in playing professional baseball, and Phillies scout Billy Harper believed him. Harper lobbied hard to select Sandberg, and he then convinced the club to give Sandberg what at the time was an excessively large signing bonus of $20,000 for somebody taken that late in the Draft.
Sandberg mentioned Harper in his 2005 induction speech to the Baseball Hall of Fame as the scout who didn't go with the herd and was convinced Sandberg would play baseball, not football.
Sandberg, however, is not the lowest Draft choice to be elected to the Hall of Fame. That honor belongs to Mike Piazza, who will be inducted this July. As a favor to his godfather and then Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, the Dodgers selected Piazza, a first baseman at Miami-Dade Junior College, in the 62nd round, the 1,390th of the 1,433 players drafted that June.
Bret Saberhagen was a 19th-round selection of the Royals in 1982. Two years later, he made the team's Opening Day roster, earning the American League Cy Young Award in 1985 when he anchored a rotation that helped the Royals win the World Series. While attending Grover Cleveland High School in Reseda, Calif., Saberhagen had a sore arm early in the season and saw time at shortstop.
Royals scout Guy Hansen, however, had known Saberhagen from his pre-teen days and was convinced Saberhagen had big league ability. Hansen began lobbying for the Royals to pick Saberhagen in the fourth round.
Shortly after Saberhagen was drafted, he made a pitching appearance in the Los Angeles City championship game, pitching the only perfect game in the title game history at Dodger Stadium. His asking price went up to $20,000 when major schools, including USC, suddenly offered him a scholarship.
Royals scouting director Dick Balderson was hesitant to give that much money to a high school pitcher who went so late in the Draft, but veteran scout Al Kubski convinced him with the explanation, "You can't stake that money on the pitcher's mound and win games, but we can put Saberhagen out there and win games."
Kubski was correct.

Datamonitor Healthcare Oncology: Pancreatic Cancer Market Spotlight
November 13, 2019Pancreatic cancer occurs when the healthy cells of the pancreas begin to grow uncontrollably and form tumors. As they grow, these tumors can interfere with the functioning of the pancreas, spread to nearby organs and blood vessels, and eventually spread to other body parts through a process known as metastasis.
Patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer may not experience symptoms, but when they do occur, they may be similar to other medical conditions such as pancreatitis or ulcers. As the disease progresses, patients may experience other symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, itchy skin, stomach bloating, pain in the upper back or upper abdomen, weakness, indigestion or heartburn, painful swelling of a leg or an arm due to blood clots, fever, chills, loss of appetite or unintentional weight loss, nausea and vomiting, and steatorrhea.
This Datamonitor Healthcare report contains a Market Spotlight module.

i am trying to push data from Alteryx to a SQL sever via In-Db "stream data in" tool but it drops the spatial object filed (I am creating the centroid in Alteryx)
if i change that to a blob or string then it will pushes the data through but my table in SQL sever requires a spatial object data type.
can you please help me
Hi @Powya,
have you tried pushing the data to SQL Server using the standard Output tool, configured to connect to SQL Server, instead of using the In-DB Stream in?
The latter is mainly used to push "local" data into an In-DB stream.
Hope this helps,
Yes, that would work fine but as i am scheduling my workflow on the gallery it only accepts in-db.
Hi @Powya
can you please elaborate a little bit on that? You should be able to use the standard Output Tool on the Gallery and write the a SQL Server just fine.

My husband once spent SIX HOURS inside Best Buy. SIX HOURS. That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 separate hours. We weren't married yet and he was purchasing a TV. He sort of obsesses over purchases. As true as that is, I'm pretty sure he was in Best Buy a little longer than expected because it was also the day he first saw Britney Spear's video on a gazillion different screens for "Hit Me Baby One More Time". Mmmm-hmmmm. Pretty sure. That skinny little heifer.
So, six hours. The man is capable of shopping and staying in one place for a long, long, long time with or without a Britney Spears video in front of him. Unlike many women, I don't really LOVE to shop. I grew up going to the mall a lot with my family and I remember daydreaming of sitting at home in my backyard reading or playing or something while going in and out of stores. I'm not a shopper.
When I find myself at a store that I am ready to leave but can't, I find ways to entertain myself. This is exactly what happened at Home Depot last week. We are getting our house ready to sell, so we needed lots of different things from the store. After I did the necessary perusing and choosing and agreeing and disagreeing and "no way"-ing and "check this out"-ing and deciding, I still found myself in the store while my husband pondered and brewed and pondered some more.
So, these were the 10 ways I entertained myself within the orange and tan walls of The Home Depot, which, by the way, is another area of discussion. It's just "Home Depot", amirite? Not "The Home Depot". I mean, it IS officially "The Home Depot" but that "The" totally needs to take a hike.
Feel free to use any of my ideas for your entertainment the next time you are at Home Depot or Loew's. You may have a long list of your own and don't need mine at all. Maybe your list includes playing on the tractors? Seriously, please don't be stingy with your good ideas. Share them with us! Make Home Depot such a fun place to be that you consider taking a family vacation there and encourage others to do the same!

Gardening tools basically perform 9 functions within and around the garden environment: digging, cultivating, propagating, planting, cutting, watering, composting, holding and hauling and raking and sweeping.
Digging tools have been traced as far back as 1100 BC when the Chinese created and used a bronze spade. The Romans are responsible for proliferating soil digging tools throughout Western culture. When the Roman Empire went into decline, the technology of the forge nearly disappeared and with it many tools. It took nearly 500 years before garden tools reemerged. Cultivating tools, those that allowed for the turning of the soil and weeding, were also developed during the Roman Empire and proliferated in Europe during the Middle Ages. Propagating knowledge is as old as civilization itself. Propagating tools, like cold frames and cloches (bell-shaped glasses meant to protect seedlings from frost) were recognized by the earliest Native Americans and the Medieval Europeans and may trace it roots as far back as Noah.
Planting tools like dibbers, trowels and bulb planters were used during the Roman times. Cutting tools are believed to have originated around 6000 BC and were first used to trim grapevines. Watering and composting began with the advent of agriculture and perhaps the best example of long term systematic watering was the annual flooding of the Nile Basin in Egypt. The very first water carrying tools were gourds used by prehistoric peoples. Holding and hauling for agricultural purposes began very early with baskets being used before 4000 BC and wheelbarrows being developed in China in 200 AD. Raking and sweeping tools have been part of gardening culture for at least 500 years in Western culture.

In its third edition, the Dastkar Design Fair pairs contemporary styles with traditional crafts — from kantha and ikats to seasoned wood and wicker. For some designers it is a first at the fair. While Shweta Gupta's handwoven Chanderi and Kota cotton lehenga brings techniques of applique and hand embroidery together, designers at Karmantik have put together hand-crafted footwear. Their limited edition faux leather and fabric, which has been sourced from weavers, reaches the soul of India.
At READ India, collaboration between Pratham's flagship programme, and Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, wicker stools double up as storage, mats become chairs and salad forks are dressed with wicker handles. "We thought it would be interesting to bring together young designers and entrepreneurs working with craft and craftspeople who have grown, and come out with innovations. We provide the platform for design schools to interact with craftspeople so that they can test the market and feel confident of their products. Most of the exhibitors are NGOs, with a design background; we stay away from commercial designers," says Laila Tyabji, Chairperson, Dastkar.
While Muzaffarnagar-based Gautam Swarup takes pride in his handmade, seasoned wood lamps and furniture, Anjali Rana has worked with craftspeople in Kashmir and Rajasthan for felt carpets, made from the finest Merino wool. There's Poochki, a label by designers Ishanee and Anirudh who call themselves "textile wanderers, collecting memories and fabric". They bring block printed textiles with hand-illustrated motifs of flora and fauna. Inspired by the crafts of hand knitting and leatherwork, Antidote fashions a unique range of lifestyle accessories. From upcycled accessories to silver and stone jewellery, from textiles to ceramics, with over 65 designers, the fair promises to pique one's interest in the process of product making.
The fair is on till February 1 at Nature Bazaar, Kisan Haat, near Chhatarpur Metro station from11 am–7 pm

The country's largest producer of fresh market pumpkins is a company called Frey Farms based in Keenes, IL, near Mount Vernon. Frey Farms grow tens of thousands of pumpkins on farms in seven states, though the soil and topography in southern Illinois are considered the best. The company has grown every year, thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its owner, Sarah Frey-Talley. In this special Contact 2 report, FOX 2's Elliot Weiler takes us inside Frey Farms during the busiest time of the year, and introduces us to its owner and reveals her newest venture.

You guys, Bloody Big Brunch is finally coming to London.
The inaugural period-themed brunch took place in Glasgow in March, and we've been champing at the bit for it to come south ever since.
The London event will take place at The Book Club in London's Shoreditch on Saturday 2 June, featuring Bloody Marys and a menu fit for menstruation.
Bloody Big Brunch was founded to raise awareness – and funds – for the huge number of females (one in 10 in the UK according to Plan's research) who are victims of period poverty.
Punters can sip on Bloody Marys, but there's a catch – you have to pay for them with sanitary products, which will then be donated to women in need around the country.
To soak up your bloody great cocktail, you can order from The Book Club's frankly delicious sounding brunch menu, which includes such delights as huevos rancheros, pancakes, and a breakfast burger.
The brunch will also feature fem-power DJs, drag, and comedy storytelling from Jenny Bede and period positive activist Chella Quint – all to get people talking about menstruation.
The brunch has been organised with Hey Girls, a 'buy one give one' sanitary towel social enterprise set up by Celia Hodson, which donates a pack of towels to someone in need every time you buy one.
For some bizarre reason, sanitary items like tampons and towels are seen as luxury goods, despite the fact that without them, we'd be free-bleeding all over the show because sadly, you can't turn periods off like a tap.
As our blood catching devices as seen as luxuries (HA!) they're taxed as such, and this added cost makes them even more of a worry for those with low incomes. Periods can be stressful enough, without having the fear that you'll run out of tampons before your blood even stops running.
People have reported resorting to using old clothes, toilet paper and scrunched up newspaper as makeshift sanitary towels, and some rely on the goodwill of friends, or food banks. No-one should have to live like this.
Many of us are fully aware of the gut-wrenching 'oh my God, am I blobbing through my trousers, can someone please check for me?' fear, so to call sanitary goods non-essential is laughable.
If you want to do something to help while having a LOL over brunch foods and cocktails, head to The Book Club, Shoreditch, EC2A 4RH between midday – 4pm on Saturday 2 June.
Follow the event on Facebook.
You don't need advance tickets – just turn up. Armed with tampons. And good vibes.

How to Shill Your Way to Moderate Success
Listen, we all want to be a big star. Go on Instagram and what do you see? A flood of people fighting for attention with their fingers crossed hoping that someday they will be the .001% to be hand picked by God and wake up one morning in an enormous Beverly Hills mansion. Some keep trying until they end up on the streets, insane with delusion, while others give up and fall into the routine of telling themselves every morning at 4 AM to go to their job at the hip new coffee joint in the city that they are perfectly happy working for minimum wage. Maybe someday they will become a manager and achieve a small piece of that pie we all want so bad. Everyone wants to see big numbers when they check their bank balance and buy nice cars to post pictures of on Facebook. Heck, it's the American Dream! But how in the world do you achieve something like that these days when there is so much competition in the job market and so many people are struggling to make ends meet?

Snack Review
Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Taste test: These are quite good.
I'm can't say that they really taste like steak and onion, but they're not too salty and have a mild, tasty flavor that vaguely resembles steak and onion. I could eat a whole bag of these if I were really hungry. Another opinion: More oniony than steak. But not bad, they didn't ruin them by putting too much flavor powder on them, at least you can still taste the potato chip.
Shop: Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Mild, oniony

It is early, hockey fans. Super early.
Deep interpretations of the 2016-17 NHL season should be stashed away until sometime in or around December. The current sample size — 130 games in a 1230-game schedule — is tiny.
Yet the information collected through October isn't junk. It has applications and can help us gain a little perspective on what has happened and what may happen moving forward.
At the team level, for instance, we can pinpoint which clubs are likely playing above their potential, below their potential or to their potential.
The advanced statistic PDO — the sum of a team's 5-on-5 shooting percentage and 5-on-5 save percentage — is a great tool for this type of exercise.
Here are the five luckiest NHL teams so far, according to PDO:
HIGHEST PDO ("luckiest" teams at even-strength)
Info via Corsica.Hockey; current through Oct. 31
1. Minnesota Wild — 106.8 (13.74 SH% + 93.06 SV%)
2. Montreal Canadiens — 105.5 (9.05 SH% + 96.44 SV%)
3. Chicago Blackhawks — 105.2 (9.24 SH% + 95.93 SV%)
4. New York Rangers — 102.8 (11.37 SH% + 91.41 SV%)
5. Detroit Red Wings — 102.5 (8.07 SH% + 94.40 SV%)
The immediate takeaway? Each one of these teams is off to an admirable start. Montreal (8-0-1) and Minnesota (6-2-1) have been red-hot, while Detroit (6-3-0), Chicago (5-3-1) and the Rangers (6-3-0) each have a seat at the winners' table, too.
The correlation between a high PDO and winning checks out. Logically, stopping lots of pucks (high SV%) and scoring lots of goals (high SH%) should lead to favourable final scores.
Over the long term, though, these shot-based stats tend to smoothen out. Since 2007-08, when the NHL first made play-by-play data available to the public, only four teams in nine seasons have finished with a PDO higher than 102.5. The happy medium is 100.
Does this mean the above teams are doomed? Well, no. But we should be cautious about taking their early-season successes at face value. It's true, certain teams are elite at certain positions (like Montreal and goaltending), which throws a wrench into the equation, but the ebbs and flows of a season generally even out by Game 82.
The Wild are a perfect case study. Bruce Boudreau's charges have scored an amazing 25 goals on 182 5-on-5 shots for a 13.74 SH%. Good for them, but that simply is not sustainable, seeing as teams tend to land in the 6-8% range by season's end.
However, the .931 5-on-5 SV% shared between Devan Dubnyk and Darcy Kuemper is realistic. The tandem could conceivably finish within striking distance of that number.
The Wild, who have benefited from many fortuitous bounces through nine games, will hit a wall eventually. It's inevitable.
At the other end of the spectrum are the unlucky ones: San Jose, Toronto, Los Angeles, Tampa Bay and Nashville. Here are their PDO scores:
LOWEST PDO ("unluckiest" teams at even-strength)
Info via Corsica.Hockey; current through Oct. 31
26. Sharks — 97.5 (6.13 SH% + 91.33 SV%)
27. Maple Leafs — 96.8 (8.05 SH% + 88.73 SV%)
28. Kings — 96.7 (5.00 SH% + 91.71 SV%)
29. Lightning — 96.6 (7.41 SH% + 89.14 SV%)
30. Predators — 96.5 (4.28 SH% + 92.23 SV%)
The Leafs and the Lightning match up well here. Both clubs have struggled mightily between the pipes, but scoring-wise — with 5-on-5 shooting rates ranked 12th (Toronto) and 19th (Tampa Bay) in the league — there is some stability.
Has Tampa and its star-studded goaltending duo been the victim of bad puck luck? Will Toronto's netminders bounce back to a respectable level?
There is plenty of noise in early-season numbers. Gaining a little perspective is the name of the game right now. The in-depth analysis is for December onwards.

Danny Boyle is up a ladder, looking down on the chaos he's created. Dust settles on what's left of a terrace house's bathroom, its plastic peach suite covered in powdered masonry and plaster from the recently demolished toilet wall. A gunman has just burst through it head-first, leaving a beige fog behind him as he runs away. Boyle's hair has little bits of plaster in it as he peers into the monitor, satisfied. "OK, got it," he says quietly and the crew start clearing up.
We are not in a terrace house but a curtained-off area in the middle of an open-plan 70s office block next to the Tower of London. Boyle, along with Peep Show writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, is tackling the damaged relationship between the police, the public and the media in Channel 4's newest cop show, Babylon, the pilot for a six-part series that starts filming in the spring. It brings together the thump-thump rhythm seemingly on constant play inside Boyle's head with the lemony-sharp dialogue of the men who helped make terrorism funny in Four Lions. Neither out-and-out comedy nor brow-furrowing drama, it makes for a heady mix.
Just weeks ago the real Metropolitan police announced a trial of personal video cameras for their firearms officers in order to "build trust with the people of London" following the killing of Mark Duggan. This is the same technique that allowed early episodes of Peep Show to provide that perfect up-nostril shot. So art and life merge. Babylon throws cameraphones, Twitter and indiscriminate violence into the mix. It barrels along with Boyle's trademark ravey energy, simultaneously urgent and confusing, as the people in charge try and fail to get a grip on the slippery truth before it wriggles free and goes viral.
James Nesbitt plays Met commissioner Richard Miller, the man theoretically in charge. Scenes filmed in his office overlook the cityscape and Nesbitt says: "I was looking out over most of London and thinking, 'Christ, this guy is responsible for everyone out there.'" He's a middle-aged suit trying to move with the times and turn around the force's image. He thinks he's found his answer in Liz Garvey. She's young, driven, a blue-sky thinker with incredible hair, and he's employed her on the strength of a TED talk (she's played by US actor and writer Brit Marling). He wants in on that freshness and radical perspective and offers her a job as his communications director, despite her lack of experience. As the snubbed communications no 2 sneers: "The commissioner saw her TED talk on 360-degree communication and his dick went hard."

There are some irksome hints of Richard's attraction to her in the pilot episode, but the show has enough going for it not to need a will-they-won't-they romance. Nesbitt explains its appeal: "It's about transparency, accountability, particularly in the wake of the hacking and De Menezes scandals, but also how much you put out there and the secrets that are kept." Recent news reports on Plebgate, the hacking trials and Duggan's death depict a force in crisis and unwilling to admit mistakes. Nesbitt goes on: "When Paul Stephenson resigned, he was the first Met commissioner to resign since the commissioner that presided over the Jack the Ripper case. People have lost faith in the police and they are trying to address that."
Enter Liz, whose buzzphrase is the brilliantly abysmal "We're dumping the journalists and we're asking the public for a date instead." But her commitment to "truth" is instantly put to the test as an unfolding situation throws police and public alike into confusion.
"All truth will find its way to the surface eventually," says Marling, sounding not unlike her character, referring to the new tech landscape in which the Met is now trying to operate. "Because of Twitter, because some hostage-takers are tweeting their demands: that's a public-forum conversation now." Which begs the question: how do you hunt down perpetrators, even use deadly force, when the world is watching and commenting in real-time?
To make things worse, Liz, in the interests of transparency, has invited a documentary crew to shadow the Territorial Support Group in an effort to humanise them for the public. Excitable footsoldier Robbie quickly learns to curb his trigger-happy approach to crowd control when the cameras follow his unit to a demonstration. As he's about to land a punch on a non-conforming protester, he clocks the lens and growls, "Get back in the coach or I will verbally dominate you." The programme-makers are playing with the idea that not all officers choose the job for the right reasons, with Robbie showing an unhealthy interest in joining the Specialist Firearms Command. As you'd expect, not all the cops come out of it as dedicated, community-serving saints.
Bain and Armstrong were invited to meet Boyle and his producer Robert Jones back in 2010 when the director was about to start filming outdoors epic 127 Hours. "He acted out 127 Hours in the room with us," says Bain. "He acted out cutting off his arm and talked about the nerve, that last nerve." Bain in particular talks of his initial awe at meeting Boyle but Armstrong keeps it professional and is often the one to pull the conversation back to serious matters when his partner cracks a gag. On set they are self-contained, one of the pair always hovering behind the camera, quietly observing while Boyle politely instructs cast and crew until the image is right. Watching them work is like watching a discreet curling team, judiciously brushing the ice, occasionally muttering to one another. They admit they wouldn't naturally have been drawn to the cop show genre but the idea of doing one with Boyle's production values excited them. "It gave us the confidence to actually write the kind of material that we hadn't written before, like action and stuff involving guns," says Bain, clearly enjoying the Boy's Own fun of filming car chases and blowing stuff up.
How does their writing relationship – now in its 17th year – work now they're moving into more dramatic material?
"I have all the power…" deadpans Bain.
"And I do the cleaning," adds Armstrong. They're both keen to emphasise their commitment to the comedy in everything they write. So should the police be worried that they're being satirised in the manner of The Thick Of It (Armstrong was on the writing team) or Four Lions (the pair's bold comedy with director Chris Morris about a hapless team of jihadi terrorists)? Marling doesn't think so. "Sam and Jesse and certainly Danny have a healthy amount of respect for what the Metropolitan police are doing for everybody," she says.
Jill Halfpenny, who plays one of the Territorial Support Group, says that the cast all left this job with a renewed respect for what the police do: "We're going to try and be as real as possible but it's also entertainment, so it's getting that balance. Of all the people we met, everyone was really proud to be in the police."
Though they admire and respect the police, Bain and Armstrong don't tend to write cuddly, sympathetic love letters to their subjects. The Babylon pilot is actually very Four Lions in tone. Without warning, something truly horrific happens and within seconds you're laughing again.
Jimmy Nesbitt ventures: "There will be comedy in it but the sort that is born out of truth rather than farce."
Many of the biggest laughs emanate from the astonishing performance of relative newcomer Jonny Sweet (you may recognise him from Sky1's first world war comedy Chickens), who plays Miller's staff officer Tom Oliver, and who follows him around with a notepad and a stupefied grin. At one point, a shooting is pinpointed outside a health food shop and Tom seriously wonders: "Could it be Holland & Barrett-related?" He steals scenes all over the place.
Back upstairs, Marling and Nesbitt are crammed into a small, mirrored lift at the far end of the corridor. They're filming a pick-up, with Boyle and co wedged into the narrow passageway outside. The director's high-pitched Lancastrian voice calls action and there's some brief, barely audible dialogue. Then cut. The circus of cables and bodies moves off again to its next pitch. As we walk past the lift on our way out, its back wall stands ajar. A very convincing fake. Babylon is taking the back off the Met so we can all have a good look inside.
Babylon is on Sun 9 Feb, 9pm, Channel 4

Liam Gallagher performs for The Charlatans' Jon Brookes
Liam Gallagher has said it was an easy decision to take part in a special concert in memory of The Charlatans' drummer Jon Brookes.
Mr Brookes, 44, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour three years ago, died in August.
The Charlatans will perform alongside other guests at the Royal Albert hall on Friday night in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity.
Liam Gallagher described the musician as a "good lad".
"He didn't have an ego, do you know what I mean?
"I wouldn't claim to be his best mate and that. I only met him through the gigs we've done, but every time I met him I had a splendid time."
Gallagher said he was on holiday at the time the concert was announced, but said he signed up straight away.
He will be performing alongside fellow former Oasis band mates Andy Bell, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Chris Sharrock, as well as Jay Mehler, currently part of Gallagher's band Beady Eye.
'Very positive'
West Midlands indie band The Charlatans said they organised the gig as a "fitting tribute" to founding member Mr Brookes, originally from Staffordshire.
Keyboard player Tony Rogers said in some ways the event would be a tough night, when the reality of their friend's death "will hit home".
"He was always very upbeat. His illness never got on top of him, he never let it get to him. He was always very positive and never moaned," Rogers said.
"It's not like he's gone really. It's like his spirit is still there. It will be a tough one I think, but every time you think of Jon it puts a smile on your face."
The Brain Tumour Charity's chairman Andy Foote said: "One of our biggest challenges is raising awareness of the disease, because the general public are not aware of the facts and they're quite startling.
"For example, brain tumours kill more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet less than 2% of funding that goes into cancer research goes into brain tumours."

Universal 'code' connects humans and animals - study
Humans can identify emotions in the voices of all air-breathing vertebrates, a new study has found.
Writing in the journal Proceeding of the Royal Society B, researchers show there might be a universal code for the vocal expression and perception of emotions of animals.
Previous work found that humans can identify emotions in the voices of different mammals. In this new study, researchers expanded the results to include amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
The study was conducted by researchers at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, in collaboration with colleagues from Alberta, Canada, and Vienna, Austria.
"The findings suggest that fundamental mechanisms for the acoustic expression of emotions exist across all classes of vertebrates," the authors conclude. "The evolutionary roots of this signal system might be shared by all vocalising vertebrates.
They continue: "This finding goes in the direction of what Charles Darwin suggested more than a century ago, namely that acoustic expressions of emotion can be traced back to our earliest land-dwelling ancestors."
In the study, researchers employed 75 individuals whose native language was English, German or Mandarin. The participants listened to audio recordings on nine different species of land-living vertebrates in the classes mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The latter group included birds and other reptiles.
Participants were able to differentiate between high and low levels of arousal in the acoustic signals of all animal classes. To do this, they mainly relied on frequency-related parameters in the signals.

Hammersmith's own Jimmy Carter was on the books for London clubs Crystal Palace and QPR in his early days, but his two spells at Millwall is where he is most revered.
Jimmy was part of the Millwall side that gained promotion to the top flight for the first time in their 100-year history in 1987-88, and lined up alongside Teddy Sheringham and Tony Cascarino.
Since retiring in 1999, Jimmy has immersed himself in the world of property development, and became a member of Millwall's commercial sales team in 2015.
The first British Asian to play in the Premier League, Jimmy also turned out in the red of Arsenal and Liverpool during his 16-year footballing career as well as Oxford United and Portsmouth.

|Let me be clear. I won't know where I send troops until I see it on TV.
So, here we are after a decade of America's finest sons & daughters coming home in metal boxes draped with a flag, a flag later dutifully and solemnly folded and handed to a grieving family member with the thanks of a grateful nation, and John McCain and other alleged Great Men are shaking dice in a plastic cup like a Yahtzee Game or looking at a Magic 8-Ball to see where we'll send troops next.
Steve, you sound like a pacifist. What the hell? That's not like you.
Me, a pacifist? Not bloody likely. I love seeing Bad Guys get a beat down courtesy of the best warfighters the world has ever known. But as a former soldier I am keenly aware of what it's like to be a pawn of Great Men and being the pointy end of the spear. No one longs for peace like a warrior, for the warrior is the one who has the most to lose in war.
|What fresh Hell is this? If it's Wednesday it must be Asscrackistan...
|Hi ho, Hi ho...it's off to war we go. With guns and blades and hand grenades, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho...
I find it ironic that John McCain, the RINO with the biggest horn in Washington, likes to gut immigration reforms that leave our borders unprotected but hawkishly calls for us to scurry into Syria to help topple their government like that's going to make us more secure. Even more ironic is that as a guy who spent years as a POW getting the crap kicked out of him he's always willing to send in the troops if it makes him look more like a prototypical Republican, especially when he needs to score points with Conservatives after he does something progressively liberal to appease potential voters who just vote Dem anyways.
Yeah, after a decade of Americans fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan with few tangible results in our favor we've just recently sent a couple hundred troops to Jordan to curb Syrian violence (It hasn't worked) and now Capitol Hill wants to send in more troops and send in arms shipments to equip the rebels. But last time I checked, we were under a sequester, right? They cut military spending because all those babykillers and evil war mongering knuckledraggers are just a drain on the coffers of polite society when that money is better served on welfare and food stamps for baby-mommas and generational lagabouts who vote Democrat because the Dems keep handing them free money.
I digress.
But if we're cutting military spending, with troops seeing tuition assistance cut and public affairs events like annual airshows cancelled, with thousands of federal employees losing hunks of their paychecks due to furloughs, where the hell is the money coming from to magically deploy troops for Syria? Why are we able to cobble together billions in military aid packages to an anti-American Islamist government in Egypt or billions for Pakistan, a country known to harbor Islamoterrorists, a country we routinely drone-strike because of it?
We cut money and punish the military when it suits the whims of politicians and then deploy them to satisfy the whims of politicians. We have troops deployed all over the place and while most of the locations are well-known spots like nearly 30,000 in Korea or 35,000 in Japan or 55,000 in Germany or 20,000 in Italy, or 6,000 or so in Panama, maybe 5,000 in Guam, there are a dozen or more that are less known.
We have a thousand or so people in Cuba at Gitmo even though Obeezy closed it when he took office as promised. Oh wait...no he didn't. He couldn't because we kinda need it to keep scumbags off the streets. We keep 500 or so troops on a rotational basis in Honduras as part of Joint Task Force Bravo. We've got 700 or so out in the Philippines chasing down Islamists there. We have over 3,000 in Djibouti coordinating drone strikes and Special Ops missions. We have at least a hundred in Niger to help the French fighting Islamists in Mali by doing drone recon. For the past year and a half we've been rotating about a hundred Special Forces advisors in and out of Uganda at a cost of about $4.5 million a month to operate in Uganda, South Sudan, Congo and the Central African Republic, helping to eradicate Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army terror group.
There are already over 1,000 Marines from the USS Kearsarge amphibious group in Jordan on a training exercise, along with 4,000 more from the Army & Air Force, many of whom will be staying behind with their F-16s and Patriot missile batteries after the exercises are over at the behest of the Jordanian government.
We're all up in the 'Stans....Good old Afghanistan, of course, with about 70,000 or so pairs of boots on the ground in addition to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikstan, & Turkmenistan.....plus Turkey, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Diego Garcia, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and that good old standby, Iraq. We still have some people in Iraq, even though the average low-information Joe & Jane Voter thinks we completely pulled out. News Flash: while we stopped combat operations there ostensibly and pulled out the majority of our troops in order to continue grinding them up in Afghanistan, things in Iraq have just gone back to random bomb attacks on civilians between rival groups just like the Bad Old Days.
Oh, yeah, before I forget, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Messiah Obeezy (Blessed Be His Name) also has troops at bases on the borders of Bolivia in Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay to hunt for drug lords or something like that.
Yeah, we have boots on the ground in more countries than WalMart does, only they're turning a profit doing it while we're pissing away billions to countries that hate us and we're pissing on the countries that actually still do like us. We're over-taxing our troops and wasting resources and giving away billions to be later used against our own people.
But Obama won't know he's on vacation till he sees it on the news, I guess.

The engagement of fast moving consumer goods companies with media and entertainment firms is growing as clutter on television prompts some of the biggest advertisers in the country to look at other avenues to promote their brands.
Mondelez, maker of Cadbury chocolates, is the latest to join a list that includes Hindustan Unilever, PepsiCo and Nestle.
Two years ago, Pepsi had co-branded Viacom18's youth and music platform MTV for a new channel, Pepsi MTV Indies.
Later that year, Hindustan Unilever entered into a deal with MTV for promoting six of its brands through films made by Bollywood A-listers.
Last year, Nestle tied up with MTV to create a digital-only property called MTV Presents Nescafe Labs.
Mondelez has tied up with Warner Bros for its latest film Batman v/s Superman, where the company will launch a special edition range of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolates in the run-up to the film's release on March 25.
Mondelez had in 2008 tied up with Warner Bros for Dark Knight, involving its dark chocolate Bournville.
The current association, company executives said, was wider, including special edition chocolates with Batman and Superman moulded on the bar, action cards and special packaging for 5-Star.
"The surprise factor is no one knows which superhero has been moulded on to the chocolate till one opens the wrapping.
"This allows for a unique engagement with consumers," said Prashant Peres, director, marketing (chocolates), Mondelez India. Hollywood studios are increasingly looking at India-specific tie-ups for their films as the popularity of their movies grows.
Disney had a robust catalogue of brand associations for its 2015 releases, Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Mondelez plans to partner other Hollywood and Bollywood studios to promote its products.
Later this year, fans will see Cadbury Gems innovate for Sony Pictures' and Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds Movie.
The company would use conventional advertising to promote the association, with digital and TV taking the lead, Peres said.
