Hockey Hearsay

The New York Post reports that tax-sick Nassau County residents iced a controversial plan to borrow $400 million for a new New York Islanders arena yesterday, in a vote marked by low turnout and high emotion.

County Executive Edward Mangano conceded defeat at 11:40 p.m., with 823 of 1,160 precincts reporting 60,228 votes against the plan and 44,839 in favor.

Despite the setback, Mangano vowed to keep the team on Long Island. But he didn't say how.

"Remember, this is not an ending, this is a beginning," he said. "We will continue to move ahead."

Still, the rejection makes it likely that the struggling franchise will skate out of the Nassau Coliseum when its lease expires in 2015.

Islanders owner Charles Wang said, "I have to tell you, I'm disappointed. To put it bluntly, I'm heartbroken."

Voters said they were more concerned with fiscal responsibility than allegiance to Long Island's only professional sports franchise.

"Now is not the time to borrow for entertainment," said Sam Agnello, 59, of Seaford.

"A new arena sounds nice, but at some point, you have to be responsible as a citizen and say no."

The Post writes that with the county facing a gaping $100 million budget deficit for 2011 and some of the country's highest property taxes, residents suggested that this is no time for indulgence.

"We are in enough trouble already," said Anne Pierce, 39, of Garden City. "This is just too big a number for us to bear."

Mangano said that the new arena would have cost individual taxpayers $14 dollars annually over the next 30 years, while a state fiscal watchdog group, the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, put that figure at $60 dollars.

The authority added that the project -- which would have included a minor-league baseball park -- would have cost $800 million, with interest included.

The vote could also open the door for a push by the owners of the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn to snatch the Islanders.

The Winnipeg Sun tackles the fascination of so many citizens of the province who’ve gazed upon the new logo of the Winnipeg Jets and the fierce intellectual effort spent trying to divine the meaning/s behind the “primary mark,” that blue circle that contains a jet parked on a red maple leaf.

Sure, most everyone can see how it’s been modeled after the roundels of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Mark Chipman, chairman and governor of True North, makes this link clear. But for some reason he doesn’t stop there.

Inca Timeline – Chronology of the Rise & Fall of the Inca Empire ...

The Inca timeline can be traced back to 1200 A.D., at which point the Inca tribe moved into the Cusco region. The Empire began its rapid expansion in the late 1430s; the Incas would dominate South America for the next century, pushing their boundaries ever further across the continent. However, this swift rise to power would be snuffed out by an even swifter fall.

Early Period Timeline – Inca Tribe & the Cusco Valley

The Inca tribe emerged in the Late Intermediate period of Peruvian archeological history. The Inca civilization was a relatively small tribe of the Peruvian altiplano (highlands) before rising to become the largest empire in pre-Columbian America.

900 to 1200 A.D. – The Killke culture occupies the Cusco valley region. 1150 to 1200 – The Inca tribe settles in the Cusco region. c.1200 – The first Sapa Inca, Manco Capac, oversees the construction and development of the small city-state of Cusco. 1200 to 1400 – The Incas maintain a tribal boundary within the Cusco valley but do not aggressively expand their territory. Expansion of the Inca Empire

By the early 1400s, the Incas had absorbed or defeated various rival tribes within the Cusco region. They struck up a tactical alliance with the Lupaca, a relatively powerful society from the Lake Titicaca region. This alliance helped to guard against attacks from the south-east. However, it was an attack from the north that would ultimately change the course of the Inca Empire.

1438 – The Chanca tribe attacks the city of Cusco from the north. The current Inca ruler, Viracocha Inca, flees the city with his son and heir to the throne, Inca Urcon. Viracocha’s other son, Inca Yupanqui, stays in Cusco to offer a last-ditch defense of the city. 1438 to 1463 – Inca Yupanqui leads a heroic and successful defense of the city. He takes control of the realm and becomes known as Pachacuti (Pachacutec). He begins a period of rapid territorial expansion while reorganizing the governmental system (it is also likely that Machu Picchu was built during this period). The Inca civilization develops into the Inca Empire, Tawantinsuyu . 1463 – Control of the army is given to Pachacuti’s son, Túpac Inca Yupanqui (Topa Inca). Túpac Inca further expands the boundaries of the Inca Empire, pushing up into Ecuador after having already secured much of central and northern Peru.
