Comebacks, penalties part of ECHL stat revelations
Deeper in the statistical summaries from the league's first 131 hockey games in its 20th-anniversary season, though, were some gems that might have gone unnoticed. Like this David vs. Goliath match-up of coincidental roughing penalties on Nov. 2 -- Bakersfield's Justin Chwedoruk, all of 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, gave up a few inches and pounds to Victoria's Kiel McLeod (6-6, 235). Or check out the plus-minus bonanza enjoyed by Reading defenseman Shawn Germain on Oct. 20. He clocked in at plus-6 in a 6-4 win at Johnstown. Talk about your statistical aberration -- Germain is a combined minus-1 in 12 other games. At least he's not Augusta's Eric Lundberg, the defenseman who authored a minus-5 in a 6-3 loss at Columbia on Nov. 2. To be fair, Lundberg is merely a combined minus-1 in nine other tilts.

Microsoft's tardiness for documentation extends DOJ oversight to 2009
Scathing words yesterday from the federal judge overseeing Microsoft's compliance with its antitrust decree, accompanied an order that effectively extends the DOJ's oversight period into the next US presidential administration. Apparently agreeing with the European Commission's assessment that Microsoft has yet to provide adequate documentation for its communications protocols, US District Judge Kathleen Kollar-Kotelly issued an order yesterday extending the Dept. of Justice's oversight period for the company by two years, until November 12, 2009. .
