DES MOINES, Iowa - The match points came quickly for Matt Snyder on the opening day of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
Almost as quickly as the team points came for Penn State.
Snyder, a Lewistown graduate, won two matches to advance to today's quarterfinal round at Wells Fargo Arena.

Clarion's 149-pounder Tyler Bedelyon, left, wrestles Navy's Raymond Borja during the first round of the NCAA wrestling tournament Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa. Bedelyon, a graduate of Indian Valley High School, gave up the 9-7 decision to Borja.
He'll be joined there by six Nittany Lions, who lead the team race with 32.5 points and have nine wrestlers still alive in the tournament. Oklahoma State is in second place with 29 points.
Snyder, the eighth seed wrestling at 125 for Virginia, beat North Dakota State's ninth-seeded Trent Sprenkle 10-6 in the second round. He beat Old Dominion's Rob Deutsch 10-4 in his opener.
"I'm just having a lot of fun," Snyder said. "I'm just wrestling relaxed."
He even stayed calm when Sprenkle came close to a defensive fall a couple times.
"Anybody reading this back home will know that my style has always scared my parents to death, the way I roll around," Snyder said. " I was a little bit more scared than normal in that match, because it was pretty close, but I think I was in control the whole time and the ref didn't want to give it to him."
Snyder is a redshirt senior, and said the realization that this is the last time he'll wrestle actually makes things easier for him.
"It's easy being relaxed because this is my last tournament," he said. "I've really changed this year. I've learned to not let the pressure of the rankings, parents (and) coaches get to me. I just focus on God and glorify him. It may sound cliche, but that's what is going to help me continue through the rest of the tournament."
He'll have a huge opportunity today as he faces top-seeded Alan Waters of Missouri. Not only is Waters unbeaten at 32-0, but he's also the wrestler who eliminated Snyder last year.
"Any time you get a chance to get a number one seed, it's fun," Snyder said.
Penn State had plenty of fun on Thursday, as the Nittany Lions went 6-0 in the second round. Nico Megaludis (125 pounds), Dylan Alton (157), David Taylor (165), Matt Brown (174), Ed Ruth (184) and Quentin Wright (197) each advanced to today's quarterfinal round. Taylor, Brown and Ruth recorded falls within a matter of a few minutes.
The pins came in such quick succession that Ruth couldn't even comprehend them.
"I saw Taylor's name up there on the board and then I didn't see it on the board," Ruth said, pointing out that wrestlers who are on deck can't watch the action. "I was like, 'Oh, what happened?'"
What happened is the same thing that has happened so often this season - and in each of the past two years for the two-time defending champions - Penn State came up with big bonus-point victories. In addition to those pins, Taylor and Ruth had first-round falls. Alton had two major decisions, Brown added another and Megaludis recorded a technical fall.
"They are really important for us," Ruth said of the bonus points. "It makes us feel like we can keep this momentum."
The Nittany Lions did hit a few bumps along the way, as No. 12 Jordan Conaway (133), Bryan Pearsall (141), Andrew Alton (149) and Jimmy Lawson (285) each lost first-round matches, but each scored points for the Nittany Lions.
"As a team, everybody is doing what they have to do," Ruth said. "We had some matches we didn't expect to lose. I hate seeing our guys lose. They come in the back and they seem so torn up. I hate to see that of my teammates. We're like a close family and when they lose, I feel like I lost myself."
The day didn't go so well for Indian Valley graduate Tyler Bedelyon. Wrestling for Clarion, the redshirt junior was beaten 9-7 by Navy's Raymond Borja in the first round, then lost 13-1 to third-seeded Donnie Vinson of Binghamton in the consolation bracket.

Academic Magnet High School received high praise Tuesday afternoon when U.S. News & World Report released its top 10 high schools of 2013. The Raptors were slotted at No. 10.
According to the U.S. News webpage for Academic Magnet, which includes research into test scores, district data and class size, the magnet school located in North Charleston also cracked the top 10 for South Carolina schools and magnet schools. In the state, it's No. 1 and among magnets, it's No. 2.
"All courses offered at Academic Magnet High School are either honors or Advanced Placement courses, and every student completes a year-long independent research project," the website noted. "Students' work has been published in multiple academic and professional journals. The school's new campus keeps students connected with Wi-Fi access in the cafeteria, a media center and three computer labs."
Student-to-teacher ratio is 15:1 with a total student enrollment of 610. U.S. News also calculates a "College Readiness Index" measuring proficiency in math and English. Numbers are generated from student performance on state exit exams and AP/IB exams. The Raptors earned perfect marks – 100 percent in both math and English and a College Readiness Index of 100.
Perhaps the most interesting statistics were found in studies of the rest of the school district. Among 15 total schools of 13,069 students, English proficiency was 54 percent, math proficiency was 45 percent and College Readiness was 17.3.
Academic Magnet principal Judith Peterson did not immediately return a request for comment.

But am I disappointed? Maybe a smidge. I had a fancy dress to wear. But I'll wear it for another time. As for the manicure- I don't have any nails as it is... I was wondering what the heck they'd be able to do with them anyway!
And having to stay snuggled in bed all day... (hubby took older boys out for a few hours so we had lots of peace & quiet) it was quite a treat.
I'd say it was a pretty good day.

Two time U.S President who defeated the anti American privileged senators John Forbes Kerry and the Al Gore for those terms. Bush's presidency was mainly defined by keeping the American nation safe from Islamo fascist harm after what happened on September 11, 2001. George W. Bush was successful in forming a good program aimed at producing better teachers and students called No Child Left Behind and sent through a series of tax cuts. In 2005, Bush was wrongly accused of not supporting a corrupt New Orleans city administration riped with Black thugs and Black crackheads who were left in New Orleans during the Katrina Hurricane. The survivors of such an incidence showed their appreciation by doping the federal government and buying expensive items instead of items which the monies were suppose to be used for. President Bush in 2008 bailed out banks part in thanks to poor lending procedures caused by liberals who were saying that they were being racists by not giving monies to Black people, even the ones who could not pay it back. Bush also resigned the Civil Rights Act although Blacks are citizens of the U.S and do not need the act signed as being such since 1865. The Bush Administration was the most integrated one of any, even the ones under the hypocrites called the Democrats. Also, Bush was demonized by the leftist media's bias as well as visualization of the Iraq War and the policies regarding it.
President George W. Bush was a two term president who defeated Al "the bore" Gore and John "flip - flop" Kerry to be the 42nd and 43rd U.S President.

Josephine M. Secci, who for 38 years served as vice president and business manager of Local 2213, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, died Thursday in Buffalo General Medical Center after a long illness. She was 68.
A native of Buffalo, the former Josephine Muscarella worked as a waitress before taking a job as a telephone operator at a company soon acquired by Verizon Communications. At Verizon, Mrs. Secci quickly advanced through the administrative ranks while also serving as an active member of the electrical workers union, where she earned the reputation of being a respected, forceful union officer.
Her husband, Mario, died in 1994.
Mrs. Secci later met her fiance of 18 years, Gary Kruger, when the two were preparing food for a church event at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Depew. When Kruger asked her out, Mrs. Secci, true to her Sicilian roots, offered instead to make him spaghetti and meatballs at her home.
Mrs. Secci is remembered for her commitment to putting others first.
She made charitable contributions to organizations such as Blind Veterans, St. Jude's Hospital and AMVETS, and volunteered handing out food vouchers and blankets to the homeless.
Survivors include two daughters, Patti Pusateri and Kristen Kruger, and a sister, Carm Daeing.
A Mass of Christian Burial was offered Monday in Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church, Cheektowaga.

USA's Maia and Alex Shibutani are another budding brother-and-sister team that are on the cusp of breaking into the top echelon of elite figure skating.
Nice article. these two have star quality and I can't wait to see them face the seniors on the GP series. I assume they will also do senior nationals and do junior worlds again if they qualify.
I was interested to see their take on Jr. Worlds, especially. I've been following them since they were at Jr. Nationals years ago!
And that they were working on the short dance already.
The biggest challenge that Maia and Alex will face as senior level skaters will be adapting to a change that all teams will face in the way that they compete. Last week at the bi-annual ISU Congress in Barcelona, Spain, it was decided that the Compulsory Dance and the Original Dance would no longer be separate parts of competition for ice dancers. Instead, teams will be required to perform a new short dance that is somewhat of a combination of the two. For this season, the dance will be the Golden Waltz, and the Shibutanis are well on their way to preparing for this change.

It's going to be a really exciting season!! Their programs are always really beautiful and well-thought-out so I can't wait to see what they'll so next.
Just for those who don't know the Shibutanis, here's some videos of them:
2005/2006 Jr Nationals FD Juveniles
2006/2007 FD Memoirs of a Geisha Novice US
2007/2008 OD Japanese folk music to French cinema scores US Jrs
2007/2008 FD Sakura Variations (Heartbeat) US Jrs
2008/2009 OD Swing Dances by Paul Englishby Jr Worlds
2008/2009 FD Cinema Paradiso Jr Worlds
2009/2010 OD Kodo Drums (Japanese Folk) JGPF
2009/2010 FD Tango Jr Worlds
They are such a lovely, young pair! I love their Cinema Paradiso program--it is one of the most beautiful ice dance programs I've ever seen!!
Such a cute picture of them. They are just too cute!!!!
However, don't you think it will be difficult for Igor and Marina to train (at least) three top teams now that it looks like Tessa and Scott are staying on?
Shpilband/Zueva currently have 5 dance teams assigned to the Senior Grand Prix series:
Virtue/Moir: Skate Canada & TEB in France
Davis/White: NHK & Skate America
Samuelson/Bates: NHK & TEB
Chock/Zuerlein: Skate Canada & TEB
Shibutani/Shibutani: NHK & Skate America
wow, I really don´t like dance, but their cinema paradise program is sooooo beautiful, they don´t need jump for looks awsome, new fan here, definitly. And they are so young, I can´t wait for they will be older.
An article published today on Icenetwork reveals the Shibutanis' program music choices for the new season.
... "Carousel Waltz" from Rogers and Hammerstein's Carousel for their short dance. For their free dance, the duo and choreographer Marina Zoueva have chosen Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" and Irving Berlin's "Let's Face the Music and Dance," both performed by Nat King Cole.
on the fence over the FD choices. Caroseul is a great waltz if that is the requires melody for the season. I of course love "Smile." But it is no longer "fresh" and paired with "face the music" I fear that the program will take on too much of a musical/ broadway feel. not that there is anything wrong with that, but I think Maia and Alex are capable of handling very mature, elegant programs (cinema paridoso) and that such qualities should be stressed.
I really like them! Last couple of years at Nationals I've watched a lot of the Junior Dance and this team is really enjoyable to watch. Wish them well for their senior debut.
I have been waiting for this couple's senior debut since I first saw them as baby juveniles at the Boston Open years ago. They didn't train at SCB but somehow everyone seemed to know about them, it was the oddest thing. They literally blew the roof off the place. It was one of those totally electric and adorable "star is born" moments. Reminded me of when I saw Naomi NariNam at her first senior nationals. You just knew. Nat King Cole and lyrics will be quite a change for them. I think "Smile" will be so fitting as I know I'll be doing just that if I can make it to Skate America to watch them.

Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas [SRC] would like to announce the latest fundraiser for the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – "Doggone Good Cooking", Recipe Book, filled with 150 recipes and many images and collages of the rescue animals saved by SRC. The first edition cookbooks are on sale now for $20, with free shipping included. Profits from the "Doggone Good Cooking" Recipe Book will assist SRC with the vetting, rehabilitation, medical needs and rescuing of animals, including Schnauzers and other rescue animals that need our immediate care and fostering to save their lives.
Imagine living a life fearful of humans, hungry, wet or tied by a chain to a tree, without water or food, or someone to care. Imagine human hands striking you, or using water hoses or gardening tools to get you to move to the next area to do your business as a stud. Imagine a hoarding situation where animals are piled high, forgotten. Imagine a stranger or a family member removing you from a loving home, leaving you at a killing shelter. Such is the life of rescue animals no longer wanted by their families. Rescue animals are those that have been rescued after being used for breeding, puppy mills and other abusive, neglectful situations.'
There are many heartbreaking situations that cause Schnauzers and other rescues to be treated in such a manner. When this occurs, Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas, [SRC] steps up to save these precious animals. According to their website, http://www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org "All of our adoption donations go back into helping with the care for other rescues. It is a group of volunteers within North Carolina, South Carolina, Southern Virginia, Eastern Tennessee and Northern Georgia whose sole purpose is to rescue and secure loving, permanent homes for displaced Miniature, Standard and Giant Schnauzers. The group fosters rescues in a loving family environment and spend many personal hours working with them to ensure that they are ready for a new home in an approved, adoptable family. Volunteers rescue because many animals would otherwise die. The average rate of animals killed each year by animal control facilities is 75 percent of all animals that enter their doors, the other 25 percent includes dogs and cats that are returned to their owners as well as those that are adopted."
The volunteers for SRC are a group of dedicated, loving members who strive to open their homes and hearts to these precious animals. The goal for SRC is to find adoptable homes for each animal. Fundraising helps to assist with the care, medical treatments and other necessary needs to give each animal a quality of life they deserve. SRC has opened their hearts to other animals, not necessarily of the Schnauzer breed.
Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas is proud of their latest non-profit project which will provide additional funding to save the lives of abused and neglected rescue dogs. The 150 recipes included will be a great gift idea. Chapters include Soups, Salads and Sides, The Main Course, Sweet Treats, and Appetizers, Snacks and Critter Cuisine, ideal for people and pets.
To purchase your copy of "Doggone Good Cooking", please make checks in the amount of $20 payable to:
Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas
2323 Metts Avenue
Wilmington, N.C. 28403

The top finishers in Wednesday's Firecracker Mile Fun Run not only were fast, they also showed off some adept people-dodging skills.
As Brandon Reiff and Alex Taylor raced neck-and-neck down the final stretch through downtown Truckee, they found themselves running past unaware parade-goers leisurely walking, biking or skateboarding down the street.
The frontrunners, both from Truckee, managed to avoid any contact, however, and race officials quickly shooed the human obstacles off the course as runners began to pour in.
Using a strong kick, Reiff, 30, reached the finish line first in a time of 4 minutes, 20.1 seconds. Taylor, 22, finished on his heels in 4:21.3, while Mike Sunseri, 20, of Kings Beach rounded out the top three in 4:27.4.
Tina Oprean, 21, of Kings Beach was the top woman and 11th overall in a time of 5:00.8. She was followed by 16-year-old Leigh Moffett of Truckee, who finished 13th overall in 5:06.7, and Anja Gruber, 21, of Olympic Valley, who was 18th overall in 5:18.
More than 400 people participated in the annual fundraising run, which begins on Donner Pass Road across from U.S. Bank and benefits Auburn Ski Club's youth and Junior Nordic programs.
They had plenty of moral support along the way, particularly near the downtown finish line, where thousands of spectators lined the street and cheered on the runners as they awaited the parade.
Spencer Eusden of Soda Springs finished fourth overall in a time of 4:34. He was followed by Truckee's Austin Meng (4:37) in fifth, Isaac Hoenig (4:39) in sixth, Luke Hoffman (4:48) seventh, Alex Kopytko (4:55) eighth, Ben Grasseschi (4:57) ninth, and Martin Benes (4:58) 10th.
Truckee runners Macaviay Porter (5:30), 16, was sixth among women, Carrie Bradley (5:53), 12, was seventh, and Hannah Halvorsen (6:14), 14, was ninth.
The event, which was the largest since Auburn Ski Club (ASC) began organizing the race in 2008, raised more than $6,000, said ASC Nordic Director Sally Jones.
"The Firecracker Mile is one of our favorite fundraisers, as it captures the spirit of what The Auburn Ski Club is all about — providing opportunities for all ages and families to get out and stay in shape, and for elite athletes to race and train," Jones said.
Jones said race organizers were challenged by the high volume of participants finishing in such a short period of time, especially because several "poachers" ran across the line wearing no bib number, and a number of runners ducked out of the finish chute before their bibs could be recorded in the correct order.
"We are looking into ways to improve how we run the finish for next year so we can continue to grow this great event," she said.
Auburn Ski Club's next fundraising event is the Squaw Mountain Run on Aug. 4.-

Jayden Lamb was not even 9 years old when he died the week after last Thanksgiving, two years into his battle against cancer.
"It was a short life but a big impact," his father, Tom Lamb, of Midland, Mich., told the MLive.com. "There was something about him, I'm not sure if it was the message he had to get out, but he was so happy."
Those who loved Jayden – the many family and friends – have found a way to honor his memory: by spreading goodwill through the generous and genuine helping of others.
The local pay-it-forward movement began when Jayden's father and stepmother, Tom and Nicole Lamb, bought Starbucks coffee and pairs of shoes for strangers, intended as a means to ease their pain. Now, there is the Keep on Truckin' Team Jayden Facebook page, which allows others to follow their lead.
More than 35,000 people have joined the Facebook page and shared countless examples of paying it forward in Jayden's name. Stories of pizzas, toys and gift cards being presented to total strangers started pouring in. One anonymous person even donated a diamond ring to the Salvation Army in Midland, reportedly worth $2,000, with a note attached that read: "Paying it Forward Jayden Style. God Bless," according to the Facebook page. And local TV station NBC 25 reports there have also been cases of $100 tips given in Jayden's name, too.
"It's amazing just to see all the people helping each other and seeing so many people compassionate in his name," said Tom Lamb. "To see the people he has touched, it's just unbelievable to me and my wife."
As the recipient of someone's generosity, Jennifer Campbell of Midland was able to provide Christmas for her four children. After visiting the local Kmart to cancel her holiday layaway, Campbell discovered that the entire balance, minus one penny, had already been paid off anonymously.
"I want to thank whoever saved my kids' Christmas," said Campbell. "Jayden is smiling so big in heaven right now."
His parents agree.
"It's extremely hard to lose a child to anything," said his dad, adding: "[But] it makes me feel my child has a made a difference to people."

Best Buddies promotes one-on-one friendships
If you are looking for a good time and to socialize with a great group of people, then Best Buddies could be the group for you. Best Buddies is a non-profit organization that is focused on pairing up one-on-one friendships between a student and an individual with a disability. Currently, Buffalo State College is the only chapter in Western New York. This is sad because other colleges and high schools could form their own groups and have lasting memories and friendships just like Buffalo State has.
For example, two events that Best Buddies participates in every year are the Polar Plunge, which is held in December, and the Friendship Walk, which is held in April. Last year, our president went to a leadership conference in Indiana and received the Outstanding College Chapter of the Year award on our behalf. There are more than 250 college chapters internationally, so to be recognized was a great honor.
I have been a member of Best Buddies for about three years. It is a great time and I enjoy going to the activities and meeting new people. Best Buddies is like one big happy family. Everyone is there to have fun and enjoy each other's company. If anyone is interested in building friendships, I suggest joining Best Buddies at Buffalo State. For information, contact our president, Kelly Farrell, at email@example.com.

Recruit, Recruit, Recruit
Wow, the season's over like it seems only yesterday and we're already preparing for the next one.
For the English Lacrosse staff that means interviewing potential coaches to go into the Local Development Officer (LDO) and School Community Officer (SCO) Scheme. So two weeks of flat out interviewing in Baltimore was the order of the day (taking in the final four weekend of course). I must say, the standard of applicants from the US this year is outstanding, lots of coaching and lots of teaching experience, coupled with a good playing ability.
For those not in the know, the LDO program has been running since 1983 (the SCO about 10 years ago) when it was decided that the game in England needed a push, what better way than to bring in outside expertise.
Now 26 years later we bring in over 80 coaches, we place them at clubs and large (mainly boarding) schools. The contracts are for a year, and this crop of coaches will have the extra incentive of a major tournament at the end of the season (yes the World Cup in Manchester is now one season away). Of course a lot of the work is making sure the right coach fits the right program, and that's what June is all about, we've looked at the coaches, time to fit square pegs into not so square holes. Given that the majority of the SCO's are in the South of England, that means lots of miles and telephone conversations for yours truly.
On the South domestic front Lacrosse is now in tournament mode and the domestic closing tournament "Bluesfest 09" was this weekend This is a two day camp over affair and extremely popular, the tent village goes up on the Friday, and the partying starts, lots of Lacrosse (Men's and Women's) on the Saturday, live band in the evening, more lacrosse on the Sunday…job done. With well over 400 players staying over (including the referees) it's a mammoth job for the host club Walcountian Blues, and they should be congratulated for getting it all to run so smoothly. The Men's final was between the Northern guest team called Jedi Lacrosse and the LDO team (not sure of the name, might have been SOCO and Lime, without the lime). The Women's was between Croydon Foxes and the SCO team called Gin and Juice, there is definitely a theme being used by the Americans.
This week sees the Australian Women play England at Cobham Lacrosse club (near London) before both teams go on to Prague to compete in the World Cup, a real coup for a new and upcoming club, 1100 tickets sold is a great achievement in an area not known for lacrosse.
On the update side, in case you've actually read my other Blogs, Mike Carey (bad leg, remember) is well on the mend, the wounds have all but healed (fantastic scars) and he's starting to jog, although he won't be fully mobile, he still intends to attend two US camps this summer, the firs being at Navy, brave or mad….you decide.

Bigger, faster, stronger.
When it comes to focusing on body image and self esteem the media often discusses how this impacts women in negative ways. There's not a whole lot out there that focuses on men and their self image. Bigger, stronger, faster is a documentary that tries to do exactly that. By talking to various body builders, weight lifters and athletes we find that there exists this childhood yearning in some grown men to become the superheroes that they read about and admired when they were children. But what if those superheroes became number one by injecting themselves with anabolic steroids? If you found out that your favorite athlete was taking anabolic steroids would that change your opinion of him or her? Would you think of them as cheaters? These are some of the questions that this documentary tries to answer along with why people feel the need to alter their bodies to feel good about themselves. Check out the trailer below and if you like it, our library has two copies on dvd.

An 18-year-old Cheektowaga man was arrested hours after a Wyoming Avenue concrete contractor business was ransacked during an early-morning burglary Monday. Buffalo and Cheektowaga police are looking for his two alleged accomplices.
Troy Jones, of Reo Avenue, was charged with third-degree burglary, grand larceny, criminal mischief and unauthorized used of a vehicle in connection with a burglary at Surianello General Concrete, also doing business as Upstate Concrete, at 635 Wyoming.
A $600 grinder stolen from the Buffalo business was reportedly recovered when Jones was arrested as he sat in a white Lincoln at his house. Police also reported finding reels of copper stolen from a Warwick Street business in Jones' garage.
Police believe Jones and two accomplices cut through the chain on a gate to get into the Wyoming Avenue business. They then stole power tools and damaged the glass on two doors and a John Deere lawn tractor, and stole keys and ransacked an upstairs office before stealing a 1996 Ford 350 pickup truck.

An orphaned polar bear cub that was taken to the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage nearly two months ago is getting ready for his new home at the Buffalo Zoo.
Executive Director Patrick Lampi of the Alaska Zoo told a television station in Anchorage that the cub, named Kali, has gone from being bottle-fed to eating solid foods and is gaining almost a pound a day.
He said a veterinarian from the Buffalo Zoo will go to Anchorage sometime around May 14 to check on the cub before he is escorted his new home.
In Buffalo, the cub will meet up with Luna, the popular cub that was born at the Buffalo Zoo in November.
Lampi said the permitting process and Kali's transfer across the border from Canada is taking longer than expected because of the federal sequester.

Brandon Ritchey's favorite NHL player is Sidney Crosby. Macky Power's is Alex Ovechkin.
"I didn't know he was an Ovechkin fan," Ritchey said after overhearing Power spill the beans "I may not like him anymore."
Although their idols are archrivals, Power and Ritchey have been clicking together for the Hollidaysburg ice hockey team, and that combination accounted for 11 points on Monday night as the Golden Tigers came back from a three-goal deficit and scored the last three goals to emerge with an 8-5 victory over Altoona in PIHL Open Division action at Galactic Ice.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Hollidaysburg's Jon Bilek (right) scores the first goal of the night past Altoona goalie Catcher Cumming.
The Tigers celebrated senior night by snapping a two-game losing streak to move to 10-4-1 overall. Altoona slipped to 9-10.
"It's huge, because we haven't been playing well our last couple of games," said Power, who scored four goals - including the go-ahead tally on the power play with 12:08 left - to go along with three assists. "This will give us more confidence for the rest of the season."
Ritchey had a hat trick as well. He tied the game at 5 with 13:07 to go, beating Catcher Cumming from right in front of the net just 61 seconds after Adam Badorrek's fourth goal of the night gave Altoona the lead.
"We knew they were going to come out physical," Ritchey said. "We just had to come out and put the puck in the net and go home with the W."
Altoona seemed on the path to turning around a 12-3 loss to the Tigers earlier in the season, surging to a 4-1 advantage after giving up the opening goal. Badorrek, dangerous in the open ice, found the net three times in the first 22:04 and also assisted on a Shane Burgmeier goal.
"I've watched him develop. It's incredible how good he's gotten," said Tiger goaltender Charlie Lafferty, who turned aside 27 of 32 shots, including a big stop of Jake Russo midway through the third period moments after being down on the ice after taking a stick to the neck. "Sometimes it's not fun watching him come down on you one-on-one with your defenseman in front of you. You're like, 'OK, let's make the save. Defenseman ... stop him."
"That's the best game we've played all year," Altoona coach Garth Rhodes said. "We had to try to outwork them. They have amazing skill level."
In addition to Badorrek, Rhodes was getting a standout performance in net from Cumming before he wore down under the weight of 48 Tiger shots after playing a full junior varsity game immediately beforehand.
"That [to pepper Cumming with shots] was the strategy coming in, but we really didn't get off to a good job of doing that," Ritchey said. "When we got down 4-1, Macky and I looked at each other and said, 'OK, let's do this. We need to turn this around.'"
Tiger coach Brad Blair helped get that message across, calling time after Badorrek's third goal and chewing out his team.
"I just had to kind of light a fire under them," Blair said. "It's not a group I have to do that to. Our issue is we only have 11 skaters because of guys staying on the ice."
It was a physical game, featuring 40 penalty minutes. Power had his helmet knocked off by a check not long after beating Cumming with a backhand on a penalty shot.
"It made my adrenaline pump so much more and go so much harder," Power said. "We knew they were going to come out and play a lot harder than they did last time and play a lot more physical. We turned it around by playing more physical, like they came out. We hustled, and our chemistry just put it all together."

As much as the football world and even many of their most ardent fans would snicker at the thought, the Buffalo Bills aren't out of the playoff hunt.
To pull off an improbable feat, the Bills are acting as though their postseason already has begun.
"We started this talk a few weeks back," Bills safety and captain George Wilson said. "This is our playoffs right now.
"The mindset of our team is 'Win or go home.' Everybody in the locker room is aware of the situation. That's been our approach."
The Bills have a wonderful opportunity Sunday, when they will play the Indianapolis Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium. To end the NFL's longest active playoff drought this season, the Bills will need to catch the Colts in the standings.
"This is a team that's in front of us that we can move a game closer to overcoming in the playoff picture," Wilson said. "We're fortunate to be facing one of those teams, and we must take advantage of the opportunity."
If the season ended today, then the Bills would be two games out of the playoffs (not counting tiebreakers). The 6-4 Colts would get the first wild-card berth as the fifth seed. The 6-4 Pittsburgh Steelers would have the other wild-card spot as the sixth seed.
NFL.com doesn't even bother listing the Bills among its four AFC "teams in the hunt" even though three of them have the same 4-6 record as the Bills. The problem is that two of those 4-6 teams, the New York Jets and the Tennessee Titans, have beaten the Bills already.
The San Diego Chargers are the other 4-6 team on NFL.com's watch list along with the 5-5 Cincinnati Bengals. The Bills don't play either of them this year.
But the Bills have the chance to make up considerable ground over their final six games.
The Bills can enter the wild-card mix by beating the Colts on Sunday, and would have an even more legitimate chance if the Steelers slipped. The Steelers are down to third-string quarterback Charlie Batch because their offensive line offered up Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich to the sack gods.
The Bills also will get another crack at the Jets in the regular-season finale, a game that could have do-or-die implications for both teams.
"We're in it. I feel in it until they tell us otherwise," Wilson said. "I did a little scoreboard watching [Sunday], but not too much because my focus is more on us and what we do.
"As long as we continue to stack these wins, we've got to do out part. Hopefully, we get some help where it's needed and we can get our ticket punched. But my main focus is what we're doing."
The Bills are sticking with their one-game-at-a-time mantra, but that doesn't mean we can't look ahead without their permission.
The Bills' remaining six opponents have a combined 24-35-1 record, and only two of them are true road games.
The Bills will host the 1-9 Jacksonville Jaguars Dec. 2, host the 3-6-1 St. Louis Rams, play the 6-4 Seattle Seahawks in Toronto, visit the 4-6 Miami Dolphins and host the 4-6 Jets in the season finale on Dec. 30.
"If we want to get to the playoffs every team that we play from here on out is pretty much going to be on course to be in the way," Bills running back C.J. Spiller said. "So we've just got to take it one game at a time.
"We know that each week is tough, and it's no exception this week. In order to give yourself a chance to win, you have to have a great week of preparation. I have all the confidence in the world that our guys will have a great week this week leading up to the game."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Stetson University lacrosse team saw its season come to an end Friday, with a 20-4 loss to No. 1 seed Jacksonville in the A-Sun Championship Semifinals. Four different players scored goals for the No. 4 seeded Hatters as goal keeper Caili Guilday made a dozen saves in Stetson's second straight trip to the conference tournament.
Stetson and Jacksonville began the game at Southern Oak Stadium (JU's home field) under rainy conditions, but the host Dolphins did not show any signs of slowing down despite the bad weather. JU came out firing and scored a total of five goals in the game's first 10 minutes.
Heading into the half, JU held a 14-0 advantage over Stetson but the Hatters had a second half surge, posting four goals in the game's final 30 minutes. Mary Kate O'Sullivan was the first Hatter to score as she put one past Dolphin keeper Mariah Cudlipp, to make it 16-1 with 22:54 remaining.
Another 13 minutes passed before Stetson's next score as Lindsay Summers and Christina Loya made it back-to-back Hatter goals and cut the JU lead to 19-3. Then Jill Chiachetti added the final Stetson goal of the day as she put one in the net with just three and a half minutes remaining.
Stetson finished the season 2-16 overall and 2-3 in the A-Sun, having made it to the conference championship in both years of the program's existence. Jacksonville's victory put them in Sunday's A-Sun Championship Game for the second straight season.
Guilday's 12 saves gave her a nation leading total of 209, and she finished the year having 14 games with double-digit save totals. Christina Loya ended the season tops in goals on Stetson with 23, while Danielle Horgan was the overall points champion at 31, and she also had the most assists (12).

Hi all,
I'm thinking of going to the game vs the Lightning on 2/8/14 but have never been to the Forum and had a few questions for any of you who may have been there:
1.) From Lightning fans I hear there is no bad seat, but any suggestions?
2.) Can fans go near ice level to watch the warm ups even if their seat is not down there (like at the Joe)?
3.) Any suggestions for parking?
4.) Do you know where the Red Wings stay and is there a spot to catch them for autographs near the arena?
5.) Any other suggestions for my visit?
Thanks in advance!

Ryan Holmes: How to Win the Networking Game at SXSW
RYAN HOLMES: One of the ironies of a conference dedicated to all things digital and virtual is that the best ways to connect with people are surprisingly old-school. Social media tools can improve the odds of a serendipitous encounter at SXSW, but old-fashioned hustle, palm-pressing and – above all – creativity go a long way.
After eight SXSW conferences, I've learned that the hard way. When my company was first getting off the ground, we were completely lost in the shuffle, despite our best efforts. In 2012, however, we had a 28-foot-long, 15,000-pound secret weapon. To stand out amid the gala parties and blow-out bashes hosted by much bigger tech companies, HootSuite decided to take to the streets. We transformed a Ford E-450 shuttle bus into possibly the world's biggest owl, in honor of our mascot – mounting a pair of giant eyes above the windshield and affixing enormous plastic wings on the sides.
Cheesy? Yes. Effective, absolutely. By the end of the conference, our logo had been splashed across the pages of USA Today, Mashable and Inc. The conference's highest profile attendees were clamoring to get on board and party with us. And investors whom I didn't even know were inquiring about the company. In the end, it cost us around $30,000 to buy and outfit the vehicle. Considering that hosting just a single party at SXSW can cost as much, if not more, that's an absolute steal. This year, in fact, we're bringing HootBus back for its third ride.
Of course, it's not necessary to be quite that obnoxious to connect at SXSW. One of the most important principles I've learned is, every so often, just drop everything. Stop racing from one party to the next. (By the time you hear about it on Twitter, it's already too late.) Stop pushing through crowds to meet the big fish. (They don't need another business card, anyway.) Instead, take a deep breath, relax and let the action and the contacts come to you.
The reality is that SXSW is packed with brilliant entrepreneurs, investors and partners. They're everywhere, zipping back and forth like thousands of atoms. Your chances of colliding with one actually improve just by standing still. The best encounters usually happen spontaneously – at a backyard barbecue, in a dimly lit pool hall, at some random house party over a six-pack of PBR and pizza. Conversations tend to be more authentic, subject matter more interesting and connections more lasting.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can't do a little work to engineer that serendipity. This is where a few basic social media hacks can go a long way. Twitter is, of course, the medium of choice for tech's movers and shakers. I build different Twitter lists of the people I want to meet – potential investors, other founders, etc – then follow the streams side-by-side. Before SXSW, I'll try to build a bit of rapport with everyone over Twitter, and during the conference I'll keep up to date on what they're doing. To stay abreast of the general scuttlebutt, I find it helpful to set up another stream that pulls in all tweets hashtagged #SXSW.
Twitter's geolocation features can also come in very handy. Type in an address on Google Maps and – with the help of an app like Hootlet – you can pull up a stream of all the tweets coming from the area. You're able to see which influencers are tweeting nearby and do your best to cross paths.
And, when all else fails, you can always pony up for a party and have the action come to you. Again, a bit of creativity and panache goes a long way here. Anybody with deep pockets can lure a hot music act to their shindig and get bodies in the door with free booze. But that's really not much to build a long-term relationship on. Themed events – that bring together people with shared interests – tend to be more fruitful. As a Canadian company, we partnered last year to bring hockey to SXSW. Our street tournament attracted a cross-section of like-minded techies with secret NHL aspirations. We may not have had Prince or The Flaming Lips on stage, but we had fun, body-checked everyone from CEOs to bloggers and made the rarest of things at SXSW – an authentic connection.

Oklahoma City officials say a dozen street crews will work Monday to pretreat bridges and overpasses in anticipation of a Christmas Day snowstorm.
The city says crews will apply a brining solution of salt and water to help slow the formation of ice along elevated roadways. More crews will head out at midnight to begin salting streets once the snow begins to fall.
The National Weather Service says Oklahoma City could see 3 to 6 inches of snow Tuesday.
The city says a street crew is scheduled to report at noon on Christmas to begin clearing roads.
The city has 33 trucks that can be equipped with salt spreaders and plows. Officials say the city has about 9,000 tons of salt in stock for use on the roads.

|Photo taken by M.
When I saw the listing for this race, I knew I had to sign up. Unfortunately, when I was only four years old, my grandma (mom's mom) passed away of Colon Cancer. Even though I was so little, I still have fond memories of her and knew that she loved me with all of her heart.
Now back to the race, I went into it thinking: run hard. Run this for her. Run this for me. And push yourself. Well, I did just that. My splits were a little all over the place - 8:17, 7:55, 8:25, and 7:32 - but I'm going to blame those on the hills. Right? Right. In the end, I broke my personal record!!! There's something so thrilling about going out on a race to PR, and then actually doing it. So my final time was 32:17! Can you tell I'm overjoyed?
I ran my first 4 miler in February, and this one was my third and best so far. Maybe it was the warmer weather, maybe it was knowing that the love of my life was waiting for me at the end, maybe it was because I was running for someone I love and miss, but no matter what the reason, it was a great race.
Have you ever ran a race for a cause that was near to your heart?
When you set out to run and PR, do you?

Oasis' "She's Electric"
Rupert Grint has repeatedly listed Oasis as one of his favorite bands and once gave their name when asked, during an interview on a golf course, his opinion on the answer to the question "best band ever."
Oasis was selected for RupertGrint.net's list of bands to cover, but Nick Wilson, our featured artist for June, selected Oasis from the list and chose "She's Electric" for his cover.
The Cover Artist...
Nick Wilson
Nick is an aspiring musician from the UK. He has gained internet popularity from his series of cover songs via his YouTube channel, all arranged and performed and recorded by Nick himself. He also writes and records his own music, mostly acoustic, which you can find on his personal YouTube channel as well.
Take a listen to more of Nick's music and subscribe to his channel on YouTube here!
Q&A with Nick
Q: How did you get started in music?
The first time I ever started playing guitar was way back in year 4 of primary school, but I quit after a year of lessons because I didn't learn anything... I guess the first time I ever really thought I could do this music stuff was a few years back. I used to play to people in music lessons in year 9, and I guess they liked it and I liked it so I started teaching myself from then on. It just seemed like a fun thing to do and turned into something I was actually remotely good at! So for the past 4 years, I've just been teaching myself and learning by ear.
Q: What types of music are you inspired by and what is your favorite type to play/write?
A: I'd have to give you the cheesy answer and say that basically all music inspires me... to a certain extent (I don't class Justin Bieber as music). I mean I listen to a lot of artists with different styles and genres, whether it's Isaac Slade's voice or John Mayer's guitar work, and I guess they all just combine to make one mesh of musical inspiration in my mind, if that makes any sense. My favorite type to play is definitely acoustic, and usually slower songs because I think they give you a lot more room to mess around. Turning songs acoustic, that's a lot of fun too. Writing music is pretty much the same, and I love writing acoustic music, with lots of guitar. I just think that everything sounds better with acoustic guitar.
Q: Are there any specific artists or bands that have influenced your own music?
A: I wouldn't say that my music is influenced purely by one artist, because I think my music is sort of a mesh of every artist I listen to, and that's the same for every musician out there. My music definitely has vibes of The Fray, probably some of James Vincent McMorrow's guitar style and some Bon Iver, but then if you wanted to get really in depth then you could take a lot of different influences from my music. I try to listen to a lot of music when writing, to basically eliminate any blatant influences; I just write music that I would enjoy listening to myself.
Q: What do you like to do when you aren't performing or writing music?
A: This is going to make me sound like probably the biggest slob in the world, but if I'm not writing or messing around on the guitar, I am usually watching TV or films which always turn out to be worse than they seem - I blame Netflix entirely. Music is genuinely the biggest past time of mine and is genuinely what I do most; it sounds cliche but it's true!
Q: Give us a random, fun fact about yourself.
A: Hmmm. I can play the crazy frog song with my cheeks...

I was so dazed by the massive crowds tracking from church to church (and then waiting another ten minutes before entering) that I just tramped about somewhat and took shots of the minor sights, such as kitchens, rooms for eating and the occasional chapel. I did not take notes of what I saw, so no captions. Sorry.

text: One of the myths that folks on this blog are deluding themselves with is that the Tea Party is a fringe groups of nuts. An Associated Press-GfK survey that just comes out states that 40% of all Republicans identify with the Tea Party. I tend to think of the Associated Press-GfK as a fairly biased left wing organization, but since I think the real number is over 50%,� I'll accept that the real number is probably still somewhere between, and agree with the AP conclusion that "the tea party is more than a gang of malcontents in the political landscape…" Meanwhile, 53% of all American are negative about Obama, whereas Tea Party Republicans in Congress have approval ratings which are starting to soar as the shut down glides beautifully along. Indeed, even AP is now pondering that with the Tea Party folks scoring high amongst their constituents, the 5% approval rating of Congress may be a reflection of the Democrats, not the Republicans. This is AP speaking, not some credible� news source, so if AP is downplaying the numbers,� folks on the blog should now get why the Republicans aren't so anxious to give up on their fight for the American people.

Every backpacker dreams of someday hiking the John Muir Trail, that 211-mile-long (340-kilometer-long) pageant through the High Sierra from Mount Whitney to Yosemite Valley. Rightly so. The JMT traverses some of the finest alpine scenery in the U.S. But until the ol' vacation account accrues 17 days (that's the length of an average JMT thru-hike), content yourself by sampling one of the trail's best and most accessible sections on a weekend-length, 31-mile (50-kilometer) route into the Ritter Range. Even if you don't know the Ritters by name, you've seen their stony facades on calendars and posters, especially the shark-tooth Minarets. "There's nothing like the Minarets elsewhere in the Sierra. They're dark and intimidating, especially on a cloudy day," says David Roberts, who leads week-long backpacking trips into the Ritters for the Sierra Club. Your tour begins at Reds Meadow near Mammoth Ski Area, where you pick up the JMT northbound to Shadow Lake. Leaving the JMT, walk west to camp at Ediza Lake, which reflects the 17 Minaret spires. At this point you face a no-lose decision. Backpackers with off-trail know-how can proceed south to Cecile Lake, where the trail ends and the ad hoc Sierra High Route takes over. The less experienced should double back at Ediza Lake to rejoin the JMT to the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail. Follow the PCT southeast to Agnew Meadows, where you can catch a free shuttle bus to your car.

Looking at my piece the last part does seem to say M Jonasson.
I had a look around and I could only find one reference to Butterflies but it seems the series has been retired.
Wuff - I think yours is an early Mats Jonasson also. It looks like his style but not as detailed as his later work, which is expected as his expertise and skill has developed over time.

In This Bitter Earth, Sugar Lacey is on her way out of Bigelow, Arkansas, where she'd come to break with the past. With her worn leopard-print suitcase and her head held high, she walks past the prying eyes of its small-minded, cruel-hearted townsfolk, praying for the strength to keep going. She doesn't stop until she arrives at her childhood home in Short Junction. Here she learns the truth about her parentage: a terrible tale of unrequited love, of one man's enduring hatred, and of the black magic that has cursed generations of Lacey women. A powerfully realized novel that brings back the unforgettable characters from Sugar, McFadden's bestselling debut, This Bitter Earth is a testament to the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.

Who's Going

Event Details
The purpose of the Curriculum Meeting is to provide more detailed information about both the French and Montessori Curriculum, along with video presentations. There will be a discussion of Pre-K, extra-curricular activities at both campuses and a brief opportunity for Q&A. We believe attendance at the Curriculum Meeting will provide parents enough information to decide if Audubon is the best fit for your child and if so, which program is the right one for your child and your family. Audubon Charter School has scheduled three (3) Curriculum Meetings. Attendance is REQUIRED at the Curriculum Meeting in order for an applicant's name to be included in the lottery. Parents/Guardians are only required to attend one of the three meetings. In order to accommodate the large number of parents required to attend the meetings, all curriculum meetings will be held at the Tulane University Lavin-Bernick Center (THIS IS NOT A TULANE UNIVERSITY PROGRAM OR EVENT).

Israel reforms dairy market
Israel reforms dairy market
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu adopted the recommendations of the dairy sub-committee Wednesday aiming to slash dairy prices significantly.
As dairy industry reforms are implemented, producers will be obligated to report earnings, exemptions from binding contracts with produce distributors will be annulled, and target price will be slashed by dozens of percentage points, noted Israel Business.
The recommendations adopted also include gradually opening the dairy market to competition and auditing feed mills. Additionally, food chains will be obligated to mark products, retail-supplier relationships will be examined, unused quotas will be opened up to competition, and small dairies will have an opportunity to expand before their final quota is determined.
The subcommittee for the review of the dairy market, under Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor Director-General Sharon Kedmi, was appointed by Industry Minister Shalom Simhon and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz at the request of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Committee members were charged with examining the entire dairy market value chain with an end goal of cutting prices for dairy consumers while maintaining profitability throughout the value chain.
Opening the market
Gradually, the dairy market will gradually be opened up to competition, and quotas will increase with tax rates fixed at 20 percent. In 2016, the market will be opened to imports, sans quotas.
In regards to the dairies' sector, the committee determined that dairies will be obligated to report their earnings, and production quotas will be set on the basis of 2011 quotas for a five-year period, beginning in 2012. After three years, the government will be able to finalize quotas, and unused allotments will be opened to competitive production not on the basis of the target price.
Furthermore, it was determined that small dairies will be allowed to expand during the arrangement period to a 700,000-liter (1.59 million pound) quota.
The current Antitrust Law will be amended to annul exemptions granted to produce distributors from binding agreements. Retail chains will be obligated to report profitability each quarter, on the basis of which the government will determine whether to implement full supervision over products. Retailer-distributor relationships will be inspected, and larger suppliers will be banned from importing end products.
Producers hit the streets
Following enactment of the reform, hundreds of dairy farmers took to the streets in three locations to protest the committee's recommendations. The farmers say these recommendations run counter to a law enacted just this past March that enshrines the farmers' rights.
Producers noted that lowering the target price for milk and opening the market to more dairy imports will not lower the price paid by the consumer. It will only increase the profits earned by the major dairies and the supermarket chains.
