Rubis Nose and Ear Scissors
Based on 1 Review
Tom YamasakiFort Lauderdale, FloridaGreat Scissors!I was looking for a really good pair of scissors to trim the hair in my nose. Some seemed cheap and others were way too expensive. I have a Rubis nail clipper and even though it took a little getting used to, its the best nail clipper Ive ever owned. So when I saw these scissors by Rubis, I really didnt think twice and Im really happy I bought them. The design is also very cool. They could be the last pair of nose hair scissors youll ever have to buy.10 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

'Pantheon of Warriors' event highlights Niagara University's Alumni Weekendby jmaloni
Schedule includes golf tourney, campus tours, dinner dance, much more
The "Pantheon of Warriors," a new offering meant to recognize Niagara University graduates called to duty during times of war, highlights a 2011 Alumni Weekend schedule that includes more than 25 events. All Niagara University alumni, particularly those from class years ending in 1s and 6s, are invited to reunite the weekend of Oct. 7-9 so that they may rediscover Monteagle Ridge and relive their days as Purple Eagles.
In addition to traditional Alumni Weekend festivities - a golf tournament, dinner dance, class reunions, campus tours and more - the 2011 edition will feature a ceremony commemorating the nation's servicemen and women. Graduates of Niagara's ROTC program who were commissioned, called to active duty and served during a war will be individually recognized and thanked for their service. Maj. Gen. Vincent E. Boles, '76, the highest-ranking graduate of Niagara's ROTC program, will provide the keynote address. The "Pantheon of Warriors" event will take place immediately following the ROTC Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday morning.
"We are privileged to have an opportunity to annually honor the men and women who have shown to be proficient in the university's Reserve Officers' Training Corps program," said Jaclyn Rossi, Niagara University's assistant director of alumni relations. "With this year's Alumni Weekend occurring shortly after the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we felt like this was the ideal time to especially recognize the NU alumni who have proudly served the United States during a wartime period."
The Niagara University Alumni Weekend food drive will also return for a second year, with all proceeds benefiting the Heart, Love & Soul soup kitchen in the City of Niagara Falls. Attendees are encouraged to donate a nonperishable food item at any event during the weekend.

If you weren't able to attend or missed several sessions at the recently concluded 2012 Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco, some of the videos, slides, and audio have just been posted at Tizen.org.
Some of the notable sessions to watch are the following:
See the full schedule at Tizen.org.
Another equally impressive demo at the recent Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco was that of the upcoming Tizen Animation Framework. The quick demo, presented by Samsung's Executive Vice President, J-D Choi, shows an EFL-based (Elightenment Foundation Libraries) accelerated multi-touch user interface, scaling and rotating a running video, without dropping frames.
In one of the keynotes on the recent Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco, Samsung's Executive Vice President, J-D Choi gave a demo of purely HTML5/CSS3 written apps on Tizen. The impressive HTML5 demos were shown live, running on a prototype device (which several folks are saying was a Samsung Galaxy S II). The demos presented were the three different Gallery user interfaces, Media Cube, CSS-based photo transition, and the upcoming Phone interface.
Ok folks, in a few days, the first Tizen Developer Conference will kick off at San Francisco. I've been in several Maemo and MeeGo developer conferences and although each one has its unique flavor, they are always informative and fun.
The last MeeGo conference was held in the same venue, the Hyatt Regency – San Francisco. While I would expect that not much has changed in the hotel, I'm sure Amy Leeland, Intel's Open Source Events Manager, must have concocted something unique for this Tizen Developer Conference.
I've decided to create a guide to help those who are attending the event for the first time.
The first annual Tizen Developer Conference is set to happen next week, from May 7 to 9, 2012 at San Francisco, CA.
The keynote speakers include:
The conference aims to educate developers on the Tizen technology and HTML5 app development. The conference tracks are categorized as Platform Introductory, Application Introductory, Platform Advanced, Application Advance, Project & Community / Upcoming Technologies, and In-vehicle Infotainment. You can view the full details of the sessions in the agenda (pdf).

SATURDAY, Nov. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Screening for the human papillomavirus (HPV) is more effective than Pap tests for protecting women against invasive cervical cancer, a new study suggests.
HPV causes most cases of cervical cancer. In a Pap test, cells from the cervix are examined under a microscope for abnormalities that can lead to cervical cancer. In HPV-based screening, the cells are initially tested for HPV.
If cell changes or HPV are detected in either type of screening, the patient is notified and undergoes further screening and examination, followed by treatment if needed.
In this study, researchers analyzed data from four clinical trials in Europe that compared the Pap test and HPV-based screening. The data came from more than 175,000 women, aged 20 to 64, who were followed for an average of six and a half years after having one of the screening tests.
Both methods provided similar levels of protection against invasive cervical cancer for the first two and a half years after the screening tests. But for the remainder of the follow-up period, HPV screening offered 60 percent to 70 percent greater protection than Pap test screening, according to the study.
The findings were published in the journal The Lancet and presented Saturday at a European meeting of experts in cervical cancer control and HPV-associated diseases.
The increased protection offered by HPV screening was particularly notable in women aged 30 to 35. The researchers also found that HPV screening every five years was most protective against invasive cancers of the cervix, compared with Pap test screening done every three years.

OTTAWA – These are new heights for Joffrey Lupul.
"I've never played at this level before," he said late Saturday evening. "To be honest, I'm kind of just figuring it out now as I go. I didn't necessarily know I was capable of playing at this level. And now I'm figuring out that I can do a lot of things out there that other guys can't."
Lupul played catalyst with another dominant night as the Leafs stormed into the nation's capital and shut out the Senators, extending their season-long point streak to eight games while strengthening their playoff position to increasingly firm status, now tied with Ottawa for fifth in the East.
Simply fearsome in the past couple weeks, Lupul sniped a goal and added three assists on Saturday, helping Nazem Kadri to his second hat trick of the year. Now with eight goals, the Edmonton native has scored at least once in each of his six games back from injury, shooting a 40 percent clip in March (20 shots). He has compiled a monstrous 13 points upon his return from a 25-game layoff.
Lupul put together a career-best 67 points last season and received a five-year extension from the Leafs days before the year even began. A fractured right forearm three games in cast a quick shadow on his 2013 campaign, one that he's frantically erased upon his return.
"Lots of players mature at different ages and I think now I'm still improving every single day," said the 29-year-old, who has five multi-point efforts in the six-game span. "I guess I'm old by NHL standards now, but definitely feel like I'm improving every day and I do have that desire to get better and better now and see how good of a player I can eventually be."
Five Points
1. Kadri's big night
Running shotgun with Lupul and Nik Kulemin, Kadri became the first Leaf since Alexander Mogilny in 2002-2003 to pot a pair of hat tricks in the same season, now with a team-leading 17 goals and 39 points this season. Just moments after his big night concluded, the 22-year-old was pulled out of the Toronto dressing room by Don Cherry himself, invited into the legendary Hockey Night in Canada set with Ron MacLean. "I just went in there and sat with Grapes and Mr. MacLean and I thought that was pretty surreal," Kadri beamed, also adding an assist on Lupul's game-opening goal. "Don even gave me a peck on the cheek too."
Kadri rose to sixth in league scoring with the career-high four point night, moving up to seventh overall in goals.
One side-note to an otherwise wowing performance was the decrease in his responsibility on the draw. Kadri lined up for just seven faceoffs – often replaced in the defensive zone by Jay McClement – finishing with just one win. An area for further refinement, Kadri tallied a 35 percent mark in the previous five games and sits at just 43 percent this season, fourth-worst among all regular NHL centres.
2. Reimer in Ottawa
James Reimer is unbeatable in Ottawa. Following his 31-save shutout on Saturday, the 25-year-old improved to 5-0-0 career at ScotiaBank Place, posting a microscopic 0.80 goals against average and hearty .976 save percentage. "I'm not quite sure why," he said with a grin afterward. "I don't know if you can put a reason to it. But it is a fun place to play, just with the atmosphere and the Leaf fans and the Sens fans, makes for a good game so it's an easy game to get up for."
He made his two most notable saves of the night on Guillaume Latendresse, stoning the Senators winger on a partial break in the first before shutting him down again on a full-on breakaway in the middle frame.
"James Reimer was there, made some big stops for us when we left him abandoned," said Randy Carlyle, noting his goaltender's rebound control as the night wore on. Reimer's second shutout of the season comes just days before the annual trade deadline, rumours of the Leafs interest in acquiring a veteran netminder fluttering in recent days. And while his playoff experience will never be established in the regular season, Reimer is demonstrating himself more than capable in playoff-type games, now sitting at 13-4-4 record this year.
3. Not a role model
Lupul has compared a younger version of himself to Kadri in the past, but stressed after the game Saturday that he was no mentor. "What I am is a veteran player that's been through ups and downs before," said Lupul. "I'm not trying to mentor him. He's got to pave his own way and make his own mistakes and do things his own way. I can try and be a leader a little bit, but I'm not going to interfere with his development. He's got to learn on his own and as you've seen he's doing a pretty good job of that."
4. PK on the mark
Quietly impressive in the Leafs victory was another certain effort from the penalty kill. Ottawa entered the evening with the league's ninth-ranked power-play, but was shut down in all five opportunities on Saturday, empty in 11 tries against Toronto in the season series. The Leaf penalty kill has surged with a 73-80 mark over the past 25 games, now fourth-best in the NHL at 85.7 percent.
5. Season-long point streak
The Leafs improved to 5-0-3 in their last eight games – their longest streak of the season – snatching 13 of a possible 16 points. Saturday's victory catapulted them into a tie with the Senators for fifth in the conference (44 points), nine points up on the Rangers and Islanders with only 12 games to play. An early March skid has been completely erased with the Leafs now well on their way to the postseason for the first time in nine years.
"I think just going back to the drawing board and really reconstructing what we had to do," Kadri said of his team finding its way. "I know everyone was kind of freaking out a little bit when we lost four or five games straight or whatever it may have been, but we just hit the reset button, were able to correct our mistakes and put together a lot better of an effort in this last stretch."

"I've never played at this level before. To be honest, I'm kind of just figuring it out now as I go. I didn't necessarily know I was capable of playing at this level. And now I'm figuring out that I can do a lot of things out there that other guys can't."

I feel a little off-base in grading this. We used only the basic idea, but changed to pork tenderloin, hammered to a 1/2 inch and then filled with the filling. We baked, and then served with fettuccine noodles, sauce, and spinach. It is delicious!

Rum Cake
Ok, I have literally been waiting to post this recipe ever since I began the blog. It is without a doubt my favorite dessert in the entire world. And it may soon become yours too. :)
Behold….the famous rum cake.
Words can't even describe this one. Suffice it to say, it is by far my most-requested recipe. My family loves it. My friends are crazy about it. Friends of my friends email to ask for the recipe. Non-rum-lovers ask for seconds at parties. Even my boss asks for leftovers whenever he hears it's being made!
Yes, it is that good. :) And, it only takes about 15 minutes of total prep time. What could be better??
So if you're looking for a new rockstar dessert this holiday season, look no further. This is the cake for you. Enjoy!!!
Rum Cake
- 1 (18.25 oz.) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (3.4 oz.) package vanilla instant pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup rum
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- extra sugar for pan
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup rum
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Liberally grease (either way cooking spray or butter) a bundt pan, and then pour sugar into it and swirl around until the entire inside of the pan is coated in sugar. (Discard any remaining sugar.)
In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter into pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate. Spoon glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used.
In a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
Ali's Tip:
First of all, this is a cake that is way better the second day than the first. The more time you can give it to soak up that wonderful glaze, the better!
I also love the toothpick approach for making sure some extra glaze gets soaked into the cake. Once you have removed the cake from the pan, make sure it is setting right-side-up, and then poke a bunch of vertical holes all over it with a toothpick. Then pour the glaze over cake. :) Mmmmm…..

SPOKANE--Many first responders around the country are still reeling from the tragic shooting deaths of two firefighters in New York on Christmas Eve.
A case similar to the one in New York hasn't recently happened in Spokane, but the Spokane Fire Department says it has safety procedures in place to help protect our firefighters.
Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer says an emergency notification was sent out, which reminded firefighters about the dangers of their jobs. Schaeffer says safety is always on his mind and the minds of firefighter's families.
Calls like the one in New York haven't happened in Spokane, but the department still trains for violence. As for the calls that aren't for fires, like overdoses or suicide attempts, they bring in police assistance.

Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
I got this interface Spring of last year when I needed a bridge between music I had written on my computer and a MIDI module in my studio. It worked perfectly well while it worked, everything sounded and behaved just as it should have. After not working on the piece that I required this product for for a while, I returned to find that it had stopped working entirely. I never took it outside of the studio, it stayed there the entire time and simply stopped working. I plan on getting a larger interface (either M-Audio or Motu) anyway, now that my needs for such a device have expanded, but I am still disappointed at the flimsiness of this gear, even given the asking price.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
Sure its flashing lights are a little hokey at first. But they've greeted me on so many jobs that I feel my M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface is saying: "Hey, man, it's all good. Let's start groovin'!"This little unit has served me well over a long time. Buy yourself an extra cord because that's the most likely thing to go bad on any midi interface. So, if yours does, you can swap it out in 10 seconds without having to chuck the whole unit.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
This little guy is just what I needed. It works perfectly: install the drivers, plug it in and you're set. Not only does it work well, they give you a LONG USB cable (about 9ft). As for the build quality, I think the assembly is good enough, as long as you don't plan on chucking it off a building or running over it with a car. The only flaws that I can see are that the MIDI receptacles are not secured to the shell, so plugging in MIDI cables puts some strain on the solder joints and the board. Also the USB LED indicator does that mac-in-sleep throbby thingie when its plugged in. I would have opted for just solid on, but that's just me.Overall this thing is great and I am very happy with it!
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
Since I purchased this unit 3 years ago ,I have had a lot of trouble with it.It has crashed on me more times than I can remember. I have had to reload the drivers at least 15 times and now it has finaly crashed for good.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
I am new to the world of MIDI, and just needed to get a reliable link between a keyboard and my PC. I was concerned about slow data transfer because of the cost, but this device works fine. No reservations about recommending it. By the way, it will work on Yamaha keyboards as some of the others will not.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
This is a great interface for those that just want a 1x1 midi interface without a hassle, it installs cleanly, just pop the cd install the drivers, connect it and you are done. It responds beatifully, and without any problem so far, i'm really satisfied with the product, i've tried it with sonar 5, and a load of NI instruments, and i've had no problems at all, it doesn't interfere with any other midi usb interface like controllers and the like. The only "flaw" i could find, is that it feels a little flimsy because it is made of plastic and the blinking lights are a little anoying, but thats just me. A great buy i recomend it
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
A great non-expensive way to connect MIDI to your PC. Very easy installation, works great, just make sure you have a fast computer, or you will get latency. Just 9 stars for quality, because it feels like it could be a little sturdier. Overall very good value though.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
While it's not perfect, you can't really do any better than the midi-sport 1x1 in this product category.
Comments about M-Audio USB MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI Interface:
I use my M-audio 1x1 Midi Interface to connect my Line 6 Vetta guitar amplifier to my computer for tone and patch editing and upgrading the amps software. It works great. It does everything I need it to do! Never had a problem. Only downside is that you have to provide your own midi cables (unlike midi uno), but that also allows you to choose the length of cable that you want. I use the 15 foot cables. (midi uno's are shorter)

Word spread like wild fire on social media that Walmart was offering deals on items such as a computer monitor going for $8.85, a projector that is usually $600 selling for $8.99, and a motorized kid's car selling for $29.
Kimberly Halsey said she found out about the deals and steals through a Facebook group.
"I was on Facebook and saw people were talking about in a coupons group that Walmart prices were slashed."
Halsey said she went online to order a toy for her son that usually sells for almost $100, but it was listed at $10.99.
"I went on there, and there was a toy we were wanting to buy our one year old called Mega Blocks Night Castle. The normal price is $99.99, I believe, and they had it for $10.99. We had ordered it to ship to pick up in store, but the store didn't have it. We would have to wait to pick it up."
While shopping online, Halsey noticed some of the other toy prices were shockingly high or low. She said she realized it was a glitch in the system.
"You could tell a big difference in prices. Something that were usually pretty cheap were priced on their web site at over $300, and things that were more expensive were like 20 or 30 bucks. Finally people decided that they had glitch prices or there was a hacking system or something."
Halsey said some of the members of the Facebook group, that notified her of the low prices, were able to pick up their items from the store before the glitch was corrected.
"I've seen pictures. I saw people in the Facebook group. If their store had the item. They got it. I know Wednesday night that Walmart started issuing out lists. So if you had ordered something for store pick up and the store had it, you couldn't pick up the item if you name was on the list."
On Wednesday night, Halsey said she got an email about her purchase being canceled.
"It kind of sucks not being able to get the item you want at the low price."
Halsey said although she was disappointed she didn't get the toy she ordered at the extremely low price, Walmart did reach out to her and others who had their order canceled with a small consolation gift of a $10 gift card.

The Disney® Wish Program is a collaboration between the Walt Disney World® Resort and non-profit wish-granting organizations that make wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families to visit our vacation kingdom. Nearly 7,000 wishes were granted last year at the Walt Disney World Resort, and countless memories are created with each visit.
Due to the large number of requests we receive, we are unable to provide an entire vacation package or offer discounts at Walt Disney World Resort hotels to individuals. It is preferred that families reach out directly to one of the nearly 250 wish-granting organizations around the world, whom we support.
Please contact Compassion Partners at 407-396-5320, to find a wish-granting organization in your local community. If a child has previously received complimentary Theme Park tickets through one of these foundations, he/she would be ineligible for consideration for a second "wish".
Disney's long history of wish-granting began when Walt Disney opened Disneyland Park in 1955 and hosted children from around the world. Today, Disney fulfills wishes by partnering with wish-granting organizations throughout the country and around the world, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Disney-themed wishes (which include a visit to Disney Parks, travel on Disney cruises, meet Disney Characters, attend sporting events and visit TV and movie sets) continue to be the most popular requests of children from wish-granting organizations.

Tuesday October 15, 2013
Louisville Metro Parks will hold a public meeting to share the final concept design for the planned partial relocation of the Louisville Extreme Park. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on October 29, at the offices of Luckett & Farley, the design firm for this project, located at 737 South Third Street.
The project is being undertaken because the Ohio River Bridges Project will necessitate demolishing and reconstructing approximately one-third of the Extreme Park, to make way for construction of the flyover ramps that will support the new Louisville-Southern Indiana downtown bridge.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has provided functional replacement funding to Metro Government for the relocation of the affected portion of the park on property adjacent to the existing park.

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino today defended the decision to open schools in Boston, saying officials received conflicting forecasts before the snowstorm ended up dumping more than a foot of snow on the city.
"We got conflicting forecasts during the night and morning about how much snow and when it was going to happen," Menino said. "Calling the schools off on 5 or 6 in the morning doesn't work. It doesn't work for our schools and it doesn't work for working parents. What are they are going to do about day care?"

Theatre@Brock presents: BLOOD RELATIONS – The Lizzie Borden Story
Published on September 28 2012
Blood Relations by renowned Canadian playwright Sharon Pollock will be presented on stage at the Sean O'Sullivan Theatre from November 11 through 13, 2010.
Winner of the Governor General's Award, Blood Relations is a metatheatrical – or "play within a play" – approach to the story of Lizzie Borden, who was accused and acquitted of her parents' murder in Massachusetts, 1892. The play begins ten years after the murders, when Lizzie's friend, referred to only as "the Actress" (based on Lizzie's real life actress lover, Nance O'Neil), insistently asks Lizzie to tell her the truth about the murders. Lizzie invents "a game" in which the Actress plays the role of Lizzie, while the real Lizzie "paints the background" of her home and family life, filling the actress's mind with images that guide her performance at the subconscious level.
Blood Relations showcases the talents of students in Brock University's Department of Dramatic Arts undergraduate program: Tanisha Minson, Jacqueline Costa, Aaron Berger, John McCartney, Karen McDonald, Rebekka Gondosch, Jennifer Moore, Mike Janssen and Trevor Ketcheson and with Assistant Direction by Eric Frank.
The play is directed by Danielle Wilson, designed by Kelly Wolf, and the original music, specially composed for this production by Brock Music graduate Max Holten Andersen, provides a "Hitchockian" suspense/thriller feel to the production.
Director Danielle Wilson states, "I was drawn to Pollock's tautly woven play within a play structure because it creates the opportunity for heightened realism where anything can happen, much like in a dream. To underline this state, the show has been provocatively scored, invoking specific atmospheres and moods; exploiting the suspense and horror of the situation. Also, an additional character has been added who will perform her role entirely on aerial circus silks, as a means to explore the dream like nature of the play."
Experience this psychological thriller by Sharon Pollock. Performances: Thurs., Nov. 11, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.; Fri., Nov.12, 2010 at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sat., Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15 adults; $12 seniors & students; $10 groups, $5 eyeGo high school program, and are available at the Centre for the Arts Box Office, 905-688-5550, ext. 3257, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Such programs from the Department of Dramatic Arts are a key part of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts' mandate in building connections between the community and the breadth of talent and creativity at Brock University.
Media Day: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. held at the Sean O'Sullivan Theatre, Brock University.

Four runs in the first three innings would be enough for the Wisconsin Woodchucks to defeat the Green Bay Bullfrogs 4-3 in Green Bay, moving the Woodchucks to a 4-2 record in the second half.
The Woodchucks would get on the board early with a run in the top of the first. Garrett Rucker doubled with one out in the frame to extend his season-long hitting streak to eight games. He would score two batters later on a base hit on John Clay Reeves to put the Woodchucks on top 1-0.
Rucker would come through for the Woodchucks again in the next inning. With two outs in the frame and the bases loaded, Rucker bounced a single through the right side to score both Tyler Stieb and Edgar Figueroa. Jake Jefferies would also score on the play as Nick Torres's throw to the plate got by catcher Ryan Matranga for a throwing error, giving the Woodchucks a 4-0 advantage.
The score would remain 4-0 until the bottom of the fifth when the Bullfrogs got on the board for the first time. With Jimmy Coady on first and no outs, Matranga blasted his first home run of the season over the left field wall to cut the deficit to two runs.
The Bullfrogs would cut that lead to a run in the bottom of the sixth, but the Woodchucks were able to minimize the damage. The first three batters would reach in the inning to load the bases with no outs against Woodchuck starter Ryan McCarthy. McCarthy threw a wild pitch to the backstop to score Boomer White from third and make it a 4-3 ballgame. With the tying run on third and the go-ahead run on third, Coady hit a groundball to Josh Goossen-Brown. Goossen-Brown stepped on the first base bag for the first out and then got Torres caught in a rundown between third and home. Torres would eventually be tagged out by McCarthy at home for the second out of the inning as the Woodchucks got out of a jam to keep it a 4-3.
McCarthy would go five and two-thirds innings, allowing only two earned runs on four hits while picking up six strikeouts as he picked up the win and improved to 1-0 on the season.
Aaron Fossas and Jackson Lowery combined to throw three and a third innings of scoreless baseball, recording four strikeouts between the two of them. Fossas had three of those punchouts, and Lowery would pitch the ninth to record his fifth save of the season and eleventh of his Northwoods League career.
The series will head to Wausau tomorrow for the second and final game. First pitch from Athletic Park is scheduled for 6:35 with the gates opening at 5:35. You can hear the game on Fox Sports 1390-AM 93.9-FM.

A year ago, Alison Mundell was a church-mouse quiet freshman anxiously awaiting her first race on a senior-driven Valparaiso roster.
Much has changed in 12 months.
Returning from a team that placed third at state, Mundell is one of the few known commodities on a Vikings squad where she now qualifies as a veteran, albeit at the age of 15.
Heck, she's even talking a little more.
"She's still very shy, but she's gotten much more outgoing," new Valpo head coach Boomer Nellessen said. "She's not one for tons of strategy words. That's just not her style. She kind of leads by example, which for young girls is probably the best way. They see the type of work she does. She has a great role model for them."
Role model, leader, front runner. They're all terms that can be burdensome to bear, especially with a team like Valpo and someone of Mundell's youth. Yet there's a sense she's more comfortable in her surroundings, even if she is carrying expectations of becoming the next great Vikings distance runner.
"Having a year under my belt, I know what's expected, how it's going to be," Mundell said. "I have more experience. I don't have to ask for as much help. I'm not asking everybody, 'What do I do?' I know where (the freshmen) are coming from because I was in that position a short time ago."
Mundell followed Katelyn DeVries each step of the tournament trail until state, where she finished fourth on the team and 83rd overall.
"I think she was just tired at the end of last year, which is to be expected as a freshman," Nellessen said. "She's in a much better place this year. I think she's in such better shape, physically and mentally. We've had some good talks about last year, about being more honest with herself and us as coaches as far as how she's feeling, what she's doing. She understands everything so much more."
Suffice it to say, the state finish didn't sit well with Mundell, who looks to compete consistently with LaPorte's Elena Lancioni at the front of the area pack. To do so, she'll have to set her own pace, no longer having the benefit of tracking DeVries.
"It'll be harder not having Katelyn," Mundell said.
Short of Mundell developing a closing kick, Nellessen believes she can wear runners down with her ability to sustain a faster pace. Training with new assistant coach Lauren Hardesty will certainly aid in that endeavor.
"Alison's gift isn't necessarily speed. It's being able to hold a high intensity non-stop for miles," Nellessen said. "She's learning she can't necessarily just go out and run three miles. There's a lot more strategy, really figuring where to sit at, when to go, how to do it. We've adjusted her training to better utilize them the whole course, not just parts of it, and she's been open to the changes we've given her."
Bottom line, Mundell just loves to run.
"That's her strength," Nellessen said. "Sometimes, we still have to hold her back. We could tell her to go out and run seven miles at this pace and that would be her dream run. It's refreshing to see someone that young want to do that."
It could lead to a successful career in college, where the longer distances seem to suit her talents. That's a long way off for a kid who doesn't even drive yet.
"I just want to improve with the team and do a good job of keeping the Valpo tradition going," she said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (NEWS RELEASE) – After another successful season, University of Louisville Vice President and Director of Athletics Tom Jurich has been selected as one of the nominees in the Athletic Director of the Year category for the 2013 Sports Business Awards, presented by Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily.
Oklahoma State's Mike Holder, Rutgers' Tim Pernetti, Northwestern's Jim Phillips and Alabama's Mal Moore are the other finalists along with Jurich.
The prestigious award is presented by the leading sports business trade publication in the country, recognizing the top athletic directors in the nation.
In his 15th year at Louisville, Jurich is looking to win the award for the second time during his tenure after earning the honor in 2007. He has guided the athletic department to unprecedented success, winning 56 BIG EAST titles since joining the league in 2005, and the continuing change to the infrastructure of campus with the upgrade and construction of numerous facilities.
The 2012-13 season is shaping up to be another outstanding campaign, as the Cardinals have already totaled seven BIG EAST titles, but the biggest move came off the field in November when Jurich orchestrated Louisville's move into the Atlantic Coast Conference for 2014.
On the field, the results have been even more impressive. The football team captured its second-straight BIG EAST title and defeated third-ranked Florida to win the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The men's soccer program won its third league title in the last four years and the women's volleyball team won the BIG EAST regular season and tournament titles. Women's swimming and diving coach Arthur Albiero guided his team to its third-consecutive title this year.
Under the guidance of 12th-year head coach Rick Pitino, the men's basketball team earned a share of its second BIG EAST regular season title, and also won the conference tournament for the third time in four seasons. The Cardinals were selected as the No. 1 overall seed to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Two major construction projects also highlighted the 2012-13 season. A $4 million expansion of Jim Patterson Stadium was finished in February, and Jurich announced plans for a $17.5 million, state-of-the-art soccer stadium, which will have seating capacity for over 5,300 for the UofL men's and women's teams.
The winner will be announced May 22.

Bailey Polifka, spa manager at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nev. said, "We recommend to our guests that after a hot stone massage they should relax in the brine inhalation-light therapy lounge. It is the perfect complement for the body to cool down and receive the added respiratory benefits from the salt aerosols and chromatherapy via the optic nerve."
Eighty-four percent of spas in the United States are offering aromatherapy massages. Aromatherapy massage includes the application of essential oils from plants, leaves, bark, roots, seeds, resins and flowers during the massage.
"One of the most popular massages at The Spa At The Hotel Hershey is our cocoa massage, which offers aromatherapy benefits through its use of cocoa. This treatment allows guests to release the tension and stress from their body while relaxing their mind and spirit through the scent of chocolate," said Shian Wing, spa director at The Spa at Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pa.
Rather than adding different components to current treatments, some spas are combing treatments to create a unique package treatment for their guests.
"One of our most popular massages is our massage sampler. This massage combines five different modalities into one. This 60/90 minute massage incorporates deep tissue, aromatherapy, reflexology, Swedish, and hot stones into one continuous service. Our guests love it. It is a great first massage for guests not sure what they want to try," said Kate Mearns, spa director at The Spa in Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Va.

It's a sure sign of spring in America. Monday is opening day of the 2013 Major League Baseball season, and there are a few hi-tech ways to get a jump start before the first swing!There are two apps that could make your baseball season more enjoyable. The first is MLB at the Ballpark and MLB at Bat.Turner Field is ready for opening day, but long before the first fan steps into the stadium for the 2013 season, a lot of thought has gone into fans and their technology. Smartphones and tablets at the stadium are now part of the fan experience."Yeah, I think when you are at a baseball game, because there is no clock, and it's a bit more of leisurely atmosphere. You're there enjoying peanuts, hot dog, a Coca-Cola, it becomes an ability to socialize with the game," Atlanta Braves VP Derek Schiller.The MLB at the Ballpark app is designed for you to use at the stadium, and the app works at all major league parks."So, if you are in some seats and you say I want to move way down close, I want to make that experience even better, you can upgrade your seats right there on your phone, from the at the ballpark app, and you can go down to your seats and the usher will look at your phone and you will be all set," said Schiller. The app also shows concessions and bathrooms nearest your seats. If there is a great play, a high light will be pushed to the app for you to replay in your seat.The Braves have upgraded the WiFi at Turner Field, and they are encouraging fans to use to it for faster speeds."We have WiFi accessibility throughout the stadium. No matter what seat you are in, you will be able to use a WiFi enabled device," said Schiller. MLB at Bat is the number one selling app in the iTunes store. If you're a baseball fan, this app connects you to your team and game. You can listen to the game through the app, and you can follow along pitch by pitch. Again, if there's a great play, a video of it will be pushed to your smartphone or tablet. If you missed a game, you can re-watch it for free later. All the traditional items are there also: scores, stats, as well as highlights from other games. MLB at Bat is $19.99. MLB at the Ballpark is free.

Why Are Jim Chanos and Jim Simons Betting on This Infrastructure Giant?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In July, Chicago Bridge and Iron Company N.V. (NYSE: CBI) announced plans to acquire Shaw Group Inc. (UNKNOWN: SHAW.DL) at $46 per share. Chicago saw an over 15% drop in its shares on the Shaw acquisition news. On the other hand, shares of Shaw were up over 50%. The acquisition price for Shaw is $46, while the company is currently trading at less than $44 a share.
At the end of 2Q, both companies had serious billionaire fund managers as shareholders—including the likes of D.E. Shaw, Steven Cohen, Jim Chanos and Jim Simons. We believe these managers were bullish on what these companies could do separately, but are aggressively bullish on what they can accomplish together. The Shaw acquisition will give Chicago more of a presence in the energy sector, while favorable petrochemical prospects will continue to drive its core business.
Shaw has plans to ramp up its nuclear projects in 2013. The company has seen margins contract on cost overruns on nuclear and coal projects. As well, the company is finalizing the sale of its energy and chemicals unit, while also completing the sale of its 20% stake in Westinghouse—back to Toshiba—which will eliminate all of its $1.7 billion debt.
Prior to the acquisition offer, Shaw was down year to date 15%, having had a couple huge earnings misses. The August 2011 earnings miss came in at 176%, posting actual EPS of negative $0.44 versus estimates of $0.58. Then in May 2012, the company missed EPS again, posting negative $0.09 EPS versus estimates of $0.58.
Chicago is expected to see a revenue increase of 23% in 2012 and continued strengthening into 2013. Chicago also boasts a backlog of $28 billion—which is expected to put next year's EPS up 18%. Some of the biggest competitors for the potential Shaw-Chicago conglomerate will be KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR), Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE: JEC) and Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR).
KBR reported 2Q net income of $104 million or $0.70 per share compared to net income of $100 million or $0.65 per share in the second quarter of 2011. Earnings next year are expected to come in 18% higher. KBR has announced a couple key contracts with the likes of DuPont and Dominion Resources, and is up 7% year to date. The company also upped its earnings guidance for the year 2012, calling for EPS of $2.60 to $2.80, previous estimates were $2.45 to $2.80.
Jacobs, seeing strength in its upstream oil and gas, and chemicals sectors, expects EPS to come in at an estimated 13% higher next year. Backlogs have risen 11% to $15.6 billion from a year ago. Fluor is the powerhouse of the industry, with a market cap of around $9 billion. Fluor is expected to see a 20% increase in 2012 revenues, with its oil and gas segment as the driving force. The company is also expected to see a positive increase in revenue mix, with a solid backlog in the chemical segment.
Fluor saw Carlson Capital increase its position by 62% in 2Q, while Jacobs and KBR saw common interest from notable firms Royce & Associates and Platinum Asset Management. Platinum was the top fund owner by shares in Jacobs, while also upping its stake in KBR by 23% over the quarter. The second largest owner of Jacobs by shares was Royce & Associates, which also owned 1.7 million shares of KBR. Worth noting for KBR is the recent insider sale by the company's CEO.
The top five fund owners were all upping their stakes in Shaw during 2Q, most notably D.E. Shaw and Steven Cohen, by 41% and 318% respectively. For Chicago, Jim Chanos and Jim Simons were modest owners, while Columbus Circle Investors was the top fund owner, with 3.1 million shares invested. Click here to see all funds owning Shaw and all funds owning Chicago. Each of these engineering and construction firms have top fund managers owning a piece of the action, but we believe that a Chicago-Shaw combo could be the most impressive powerhouse of the bunch.

Satellite imagery company releases some early views taken Monday of Texas. WorldView-2 images will be used by Microsoft and Google.
New satellite from DigitalGlobe sends supersharp images for military and commercial use.
DigitalGlobe, which provides satellite images for commerical use, released the first photos from WorldView-1 which show objects that are less than a meter.
A crowdsourcing platform called Tomnod is letting volunteers comb through satellite images and tag objects of interest.
Thanks to Tomnod users, every pixel from available satellite images has been scanned by human eyes at least 30 times.
This collection of satellite images shows historical ruins, tiny sea animals, and a giant rubber duckie, just for starters.

Ednita Nazario
BiographyEdnita Nazario was -- and is -- a massive star in Puerto Rico and is a stalwart of Latin pop. She got her start in the 1960s as a child star and blossomed to full-fledged stardom in the 1970s and '80s thanks in part to her multi-lingualism and passionate vocal delivery. She has more platinum and gold albums under her belt than J.Lo could even dream of, and a fanatical fanbase to boot. The '90s were a period of artistic decline for Nazario, due to poor promotion from EMI Latin and changing tastes. But since signing with Sony in 2000 Nazario's been recording heavily and working to gain a foothold again in the notoriously fickle pop world.
