Latisse at Catalina Rejuvenating Med Spa
Get ready for a new innovation in lashes!
LATISSE™ is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for growing longer, fuller and darker eyelashes. LATISSE™ makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong the growth, or anagen, phase of your lashes.
LATISSE™ is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It's a once-a-day treatment you apply to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw results gradually over time (starting at 4 weeks with peak results after roughly 4 months). If you stop using the product, your lashes will slowly go back to normal with your next eyelash growth cycle. (This varies from person to person, but is usually between a few weeks to a couple months.)
While LATISSE™ is a new treatment in eyelash growth, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products.
Call us to see if LATISSE™ is right for you!

With more than two feet of snow expected to fall in Burrillville police officials are seeking volunteers with snow mobiles to lend their machines to emergency officials.
The request went out to residents via the code red alert system around 12:30 this afternoon.
Officials are concerned the amount of snow being forecasted might be too much for some town vehicles to handle.

Opportunity left on base
Jun 3, 2014
By Robert Husseman
Of the News-Register
DAYTON -- Hits were hard to come by.
The No. 2 Dayton softball team managed six of them off Rainier pitchers Shelby Saylors and Sarah Probasco. The No. 3 Columbians had trouble with Pirates ace Sierra Ray, managing seven hits.
Rainier centerfielder Jessica Gibson belted an RBI single off Ray in the third inning, and that would be all the Columbians would need in a 1-0 victory over the Pirates in Tuesday's Class 3A state semifinal softball game at Jim Connelly Field.
Ray had a double for Dayton, and Rachael Fluke, Cassi Hill, Kylee Hill, Michaela Shouldis and Sydney Van Noy each had singles. The Pirates left 13 men on base during the game to Rainier's four.
The Columbians (23-4) will play for the Class 3A state championship Friday at the Oregon State University softball complex in Corvallis.
Dayton finishes its season with a 21-4 record. The Pirates went undefeated (10-0) to win the Class 3A West Valley League.

Eons ago when I was a college sophomore, I dutifully copied down a definition of masterful writing, i.e., of literature: It is, my professor intoned, "the enduring expression of significant human experience in words well chosen and well arranged."
Three necessary elements, then: human experience that is profound; the artful choice of language for expression; and the test of time. The last is essential: Will what has been judged significant and then carefully expressed have captured a universal? Will it speak to readers in one, five, or ten centuries hence?
This column is meant to enshrine a piece of masterful writing. It came to me as part of a letter, and I think it meets all the above criteria, including having a universality that will speak as long as there are humans.
The writer was a woman who's read my recent book, "Wobbling Home." She has Parkinsonism; and, as I hoped in writing, the book has proved very useful to her. I haven't said much to you lately about my dealing with a disease still not closely defined in my case.
The best judgment I've had remains the one from that grand Hungarian specialist down at Johns Hopkins: "We must patiently wait as the symptoms mature. Then we can make a definitive judgment." Well, the symptoms have been maturing — not enough yet, perhaps, to make the final diagnosis, but certainly enough to confirm a condition in progress.
As you know, I'm falling down more these days; cf. my last column called "Tail over Tin Cup." Tremors, day and night, have increased. And, though my mind remains clear enough to write and to speak publicly, there's no question that I'm losing someground in cognitive functions.
But I'm certainly still clearheaded enough to drive and to joke with friends, and even to win an occasional thrustand- parry with the Fly Creek General Store's Tom Bouton, that master of verbal dueling. And, thank God, I can still correspond with you.
But let me quote now from that letter recently sent to me. (A mutual friend, knowing of the writer's Parkinsonism, had sent my book to her; and she responded by sending me a letter via that mutual friend.) She says this:
"The first thing I did was to turn to the back cover blurb, and my eyes lit on the words, 'he sees the disease as emanating from the same loving Source that gives him life.' Right there in the front hall where mail is delivered, I choked up and started to cry.
I haven't allowed myself to do much weeping since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in February of '07, because once I start to cry I tend to live on the edge of tears for several days. But [the cover's words] touched me deeply, for where God is, there is hope.
"I don't mean hope for a cure from Parkinson's. I had only lately realized that my PD was a gift. It happened one night. . . when I . . . asked myself what I would do if my PD were suddenly cured. I found myself protesting that I didn't want it cured. With PD, I was starting down a new path."
(And here, friends, begins the passage so rich with meaning, so beautifully couched in language, that I call it great writing): "With PD I was learning so much about many things that I would never hope to know otherwise — about values, about coping, about pain, about hopelessness, about kindness, about loss of control, about strategies to get around new disabilities, about humor, about the physiology of emotion, about denial, about creativity in the presence of disintegration, about rejection and acceptance, about much more; but perhaps most of all, about the loss of self on the one hand while on the other, the growth of one's closeness to the allencompassing Love which makes all things possible."
The intensity and cumulative effect of that cascade of words, every one so perfectly apt, must move one deeply; certainly anyone with enough age and life's experience to grasp what this woman is saying.
I may be biased in judgment; this friend speaks my own mind. What she says about the richness that has come to her, and from a source both unexpected and unchosen, rings true to my very soul. My disease has enriched me, and in exactly the ways this woman has cataloged.
These last four years I've tried to share with you the richness Parkinson's has brought me. Hence the occasional columns about Parkinson's as experienced, and the support group that has helped a lot of participants, and the many talks I've given on the subject. And hence "Wobbling Home."
Of course I don't understand the mazelike pattern that, if we will only let it, leads us on in our growth and deepening.
But I do know that humbleness, perhaps the most elemental form of wisdom, comes intensely through direct experience of physical and mental decline and a clear sense of where it is leading us.
Aeschylus said it well, twenty-five centuries ago: "We who learn must suffer, even in our sleep, as pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart. And in our desolation, without our will, comes wisdom to us by the awesome grace of God."
One can draw this wisdom closer by embracing it, by saying, so let it be. Or, more simply, amen.

GISAB News
The Center for Business GIS and Spatial Analysis (GISAB) was founded within the School of Business of at the University of Redlands in August 2011 following a year of intensive review of the Center's plan. Professor James Pick was appointed as the Founding Director. In its plan to grow and develop over the next five years, GISAB will interact with other educators and scholars, students, and business practitioners who will offer case studies and experiences that can inform research and teaching in business GIS.
New Research and Publications
James Pick was visiting scholar in Department of Information Systems at City University of Hong Kong in fall of 2012, as part of his sabbatical leave. He gave seminars and workshops at City University, Chinese University, and Lingnan University on China's geographic digital divide and business GIS, and was involved in active research projects, some with Chinese collaborators. In mid October, he was invited scholar for 10 days at the Institute of Policy and Management of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, where he developed plans for a collaborative research project and gave seminars on China's and Japan's digital divide and on GIS analysis of megacities. He has had corporate interactions with Lenovo, Esri China, and Microsoft, learned many things about China and Hong Kong, and enjoyed making new friends. On his return to U.S. in mid November, he will be visiting researcher at UC Irvine, returning to University of Redlands in mid March.

VIDEO: Amazon introduces delivery drones
Amazon is known for quick, cheap shipping, but it wants to go one step further and cut delivery time down to 30 minutes: The company claims it will send drones to drop off packages at your door – yes, drones.In this video, Amazon showed a test flight of Amazon Prime Air, the service it hopes to launch in 2015. The drone picks up a package from the Amazon factory and flies to the recipient's door, leaving the package before taking off again.
In its announcement, Amazon addressed a few prominent concerns and insisted that the service is not just a pipe dream. "It looks like science fiction, but it's real," the company said in its announcement. "From a technology point of view, we'll be ready to enter commercial operations as soon as the necessary regulations are in place. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively working on rules for unmanned aerial vehicles."
The FAA is currently drafting a road map for regulating commercial drones and Amazon hopes these rules will be in place by 2015. The company wrote confidently, "We will be ready at that time."
Ryan Calo, an expert on robotics, privacy and the law at the University of Washington, told USA Today that it's entirely possible the program will take off in a few years. "This is precisely the type of application that Congress had in mind when it told the FAA in 2012 to come up with rules for commercial unmanned aircraft," said Calo. Calo added that Amazon will need a plan for safety: "Amazon will not be able to darken the skies of Seattle with drones," he told USA Today.

Ford Flex vs. Ford Edge Lemon Odds and Nada Odds
Other sources of Ford Flex and Ford Edge reliability data provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Ford Flexs and Ford Edges with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Ford Flexs and Ford Edges that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.
These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Ford Flex and Ford Edge lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Ford Flex and Ford Edge have been recently.
To see how frequently Ford Flex and Ford Edge problems occur, check out our car reliability stats.
See only powertrain and chassis results
Ford Flex and Ford Edge Lemon Odds and Nada Odds for the Year Ending June 30, 2014
That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.
Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.
An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

Editors' note: This piece was first published on April 18, 2013, and is updated periodically.
Despite Apple barely ever even hinting at a possible smartwatch, the company's mythical iWatch remains one of the most hotly tipped pieces of gadgetry in the last few years. From faux-deadlines ("Expect it in Q3! Okay, maybe Q4!") to stabs in the dark about its features (curved screen? an alternative battery source? a sleep monitor? how about all three?), the rumor mill has been churning out conjecture on this unicorn-like device.
To keep track of it all, CNET collected all the known gossip about the supposed smartwatch below.
The story so far
Although talk about the iWatch has been all over the map, many of the same hunches pop up again and again. For instance, the iWatch moniker has been steadily used as the potential product name, and Apple has been trademarking the label in several countries. (Of course, that could just mean that company is protecting itself in case someone else wants to use that product name.)
And while we've heard much speculation on its screen size, none of them have ever exceeded 1.5 inches diagonally. LG has also been mentioned several times as the manufacturer likely to build the display.
At WWDC 2014 in early June, Apple introduced the latest update to its mobile OS, iOS 8. With that announcement, CNET's Scott Stein believes that Apple subtly hinted at the iWatch's inevitable release. Especially when considering the OS' emphasis on health and fitness apps, and seamless multi-device collaboration.
But if Apple is going to launch the iWatch any time soon, it will face stiff competition. Several mobile companies have already released or announced their own smartwatches, including Sony's SmartWatch 2, Samsung's Gear Live, and LG's G Watch -- with the latter two sporting Google's OS for wearables, Android Wear.
When will we see it?
Unlike speculation on flagship phones, the Apple iWatch doesn't have a predecessor we can deduce a time frame from. It's important to keep in mind that we may never see an iWatch at all, and that Apple may have no interest in developing a smartwatch.
That being said, if it were to officially announce such a device, and the fact that the recent WWDC came and went without an iWatch announcement, we could hear about it perhaps during the next iPhone unveiling, which usually happens in either September or October.
The rumors
August 27, 2014
It'll debut alongside the iPhone 6 this September
With an Apple event expected to be held just weeks from now, Recode is reporting that the company will also launch a new wearable device. Whether or not this will be the iWatch we all are familiar with Recode doesn't state, but the gadget will apparently make "good use" of Apple's HomeKit and HealthKit platforms.
July 14, 2014
It'll cost $300 a pop
An analyst from Morgan Stanley, Katy Huberty, predicts that the iWatch is expected to come with a $300 price tag and will sell very well. Reported by Fortune, Huberty estimates that in the first year alone, Apple will move anywhere between 30 and 60 million units. Bolstering her estimations is the company's brand loyalty. While the likes of Samsung and LG have a customer retention rate of 77 and 41 percent, respectively, 90 percent of people who have Apple products keep them.
July 10, 2014
Delays push back launch to November
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst from KGI Securities has pushed back estimates for the iWatch launch from October to November, citing challenges caused by new hardware and software development. As reported from 9to5mac, Kuo also added that the device will be waterproof and have a flexible AMOLED screen with Sapphire glass.
July 4, 2014
A crucial Tag Heuer hire
Further reinforcing rumors of a September/October 2014 iWatch launch, Apple has enlisted the expertise of Tag Heuer's vice president of sales and retail, Patrick Pruniaux. The hire from this Swiss luxury-watch maker was previously speculated by 9to5Mac, confirmed by Reuters, and announced on CNBC by Jean-Claude Biver. Biver heads the business LVMH conglomerate, which Tag Heuer is a subsidiary of. He told CNBC that Swiss watchmakers should keep an eye on Apple as a notable competitor.
June 22, 2014
Apple's bringing on the heavyweight testers
Due to a Kobe Bryant (of Los Angeles Lakers fame) sighting on Apple's Infinite Loop campus, many now are suspecting that the tech-giant is bringing in professional athletes to test out the iWatch. 9to5Mac also reports that Los Angeles King's Dustin Brown and a Boston Red Sox player are beta-testing the device as well. With names like these, I suppose it won't be long until the company will let me, CNET's 2013 Women's Ping Pong Champion, test out the iWatch too, right?
June 19, 2014
iWatch to come October with 2.5-inch screen
Reuters reported that Apple has tapped Taiwanese company Quanta to start manufacturing its smartwatch and is preparing for an October release. Citing anonymous sources, the publication went on to suspect that the iWatch will sport a 2.4-inch display that is "slightly rectangular," and is expected to ship about 50 million units within the first year.
June 10, 2014
It'll be your weightlifting coach
"Do you even lift, bro?" According to the latest speculation picked up from AppleInsider, your iWatch may be able to answer that question. That's because Apple filed a patent for a weightlifting sensor that can monitor and gather data when attached to a lifting bar. Officially titled, "Shoe wear-out sensor, body-bar sensing system, unitless activity assessment and associated methods," the sensor would be able to send the collected info to a mobile device, such as a watch, for display.

You better start saving
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the iWatch is predicted to sport a hefty price tag upon its release. AppleInsider acquired a research note from KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, outlining possible customization options for the device, which include different combinations of materials, casings, bands, and display sizes (more specifically, Kuo believes the watch will feature a 1.3- or 1.5-inch touchscreen). At its most luxurious the iWatch could total to more than $1,000 (around £600 or AU$1,100). Now that's a lot of dough to be wearing on your wrist.
April 8, 2014
Look out Q3, it's coming for you
MacRumors, pulling from a deluge of new iWatch rumors initially speculated in the Taiwanese-based publication, Economic Daily News, reported that the smartwatch might see the light of day come the later part of this year in Q3. Supposedly, the device will be created by Quanta Computer, Richtek technology will be leading the hardware chips, TPK will manufacture the sapphire touch panels for the watch's display, and Samsung has been tapped to supply the processor. Hey, it takes a village, right?

Calling all guinea pigs
Now Hiring: User Studies Exercise Physiologist? So says a recent job posting by Apple, which 9to5Mac got wind of. The post outlines that Apple is looking to run user studies related to "cardiovascular fitness and energy expenditure." The post, which since has been taken down, also says candidates will need to apply "relevant knowledge to the design of products," so a fitness tracker/smartwatch may be in the cards. And remember, if you're ever asked: always take the blue pill.
February 5, 2014
iWatch out, we got a sleep researcher over here
Ex-Philips Research employee Roy J.E.M. Raymann has supposedly been hired by Apple as an "expert on sleep research." According to 9to5Mac, Raymann may help develop body tracking capabilities for the iWatch. In addition, his LinkedIn page reports that he earned a doctorate in the "interaction between sleep and thermoregulation." That sounds pretty intense considzZZzZzz...
February 4, 2014
It will sell...more than moderately well!
Back in October, an analyst estimated that the iWatch will only do okay, and that Apple will move about 5 to 10 million units. More recently however, Katy Huberty from Morgan Stanley predicted that the smartwatch will do much better than that. In an investors' note, Huberty said the iWatch will generate upwards of $17.5 billion in revenue for Apple in the first year. Quite a chunk of change.
February 2, 2014
Wave goodbye to the traditional battery
The new iWatch might not be charged by a regular ole' battery. At least, that's what The New York Times is speculating. Apparently, Apple is looking into alternative ways to power up the device, including solar power, magnetic induction (with a wireless charging plate), or even kinetic energy from a user's arm movements, which Apple patented a technology for in 2009.
January 20, 2014
LG may be making that screen afterall
Back in October 2013, there were rumors Apple tapped LG to be the secondary supplier for the iWatch's display. However, G for Games is now speculating that LG has finalized its partnership with Apple and is going to manufacture a 1.52-inch OLED display for the device, with production to begin sometime in late 2014.
January 7, 2014
It's going to be a bumpy ride
Apparently, the reason why there hasn't been an iWatch launch is because of a few manufacturing problems. At least, that's what The Information is reporting. From battery life issues to screen technology, users might have to wait until later this year to see the device -- or at least until Apple straightens these problems out.
October 29, 2013
LG plays second-string in the display department
LG is known for its top-notch displays, and according to the Korea Herald, Apple is a-lookin' and a-likin'. So much so that LG Display has apparently been tapped by Apple to be the secondary supplier for the iWatch's display. Its first choice? According to the news source, that title goes to a Taiwan company called RiTDisplay.
October 11, 2013
Apple's smartwatch could control your home, too
Claiming an Apple supplier told him so, industry analyst Brian White of Cantor Fitzgerald said that the iWatch could connect to your home as well as your iPhone. As such, you could adjust your house's temperature, turn the lights on and off, or control your home's entertainment system -- all through the iWatch. Given the proliferation of smart home appliances and connected home services, the idea that the iWatch may feature this functionality doesn't seem so far-fetched.
October 7, 2013
The iWatch will sell...moderately well
Based on a Piper Jaffray survey, analyst Gene Munster estimated that if the iWatch were to cost $350 and could connect to the iPhone, Apple could sell between 5 million and 10 million iWatches during its debut year. Though that sounds like a lot, that really leaves only about 12 percent of current iPhone owners in the US who are willing to buy the smartwatch. Globally, that number lowers to 2 to 4 percent. Given these bleak numbers, however, Munster said that the device could still "potentially lead to a more meaningful new product category in wearable tech."
October 1, 2013
Three screen sizes are a charm
Citing "industry sources," the Korean news site Chosun Ilbo reported that the Apple iWatch may come in three different sizes. Plans of a 1.5-inch, 1.4-inch, and 1.3-inch model are supposedly in the works, as well as a flexible display that was previously rumored back in February.
July 14, 2013
'Helped wanted, inquire within'
Apple is apparently on a hiring frenzy. Citing "sources familiar with the matter," The Financial Times is reporting that the tech giant is "aggressively" hiring more employees to work on developing the iWatch. This may indicate that the gadget won't be ready for market until late next year.
July 2, 2013
All your trademarks are belong to Apple
As the previous rumor stated, Apple trademarked the brand iWatch in Japan. However, both 9to5Mac and MacRumors are reporting that more filings have spread to several other countries, too, including: Mexico, Taiwan, Colombia, and Turkey. All were registered on June 3. It remains unknown, though, if the trademark gets any frequent flier miles from its world tour.
June 30, 2013
Sugoi! Trademark filings pop up in Japan
First it was Russia. Now Bloomberg has reported that Apple has traveled to the Land of the Rising Sun in order to trademark the moniker "iWatch." Filed with the Japan Patent Office, the report was made public at the end of June, though the actual paperwork was filled out earlier in the month. The product is categorized as a "handheld computer or watch device."
June 7, 2013
iWatch to come later end of 2013
Glen Yeung, an analyst from Citi, reported in an investor's note that production for the iWatch is rearing to go and that suppliers are waiting on Apple to give them the go-ahead to start making the iWatch. Furthermore, Yeung predicts that it is "increasingly likely" that the product will launch in the second half of this year, with a "go/no-go" decision finalized around June.
June 5, 2013
In Russia, trademark files you
Via 9to5Mac, reports from Russian newspaper Izvestia state that Apple has filed for an iWatch trademark at Rospatent, the country's patent and trademark office. If this rumor is true, it still doesn't mean that an iWatch is in the works. As CNET's Don Reisinger pointed out, sometimes companies file trademarks on brands just to "protect itself in the event it launches a product that would use that name."
May 20, 2013
May have 1.5-inch display
According to Taiwanese news outlet Economic Times (translate), Apple is eyeing 1.5-inch OLED screens manufactured by Ritek. It was also reported that Apple was originally looking at 1.8-inch displays, but deemed them too large. In addition, Economic Times claims that Foxconn, an Apple supplier, has received 1,000 trial orders for the iWatch already.
April 13, 2013
Apple board member offers crumb-size insight into the matter
At a meeting held by software company Intuit, Bill Campbell, who is an Apple board member and friend of the late Steve Jobs, hinted that Apple may have its eyes on wearable tech. Not going into specifics, he said that when it comes to future Apple devices, customers should expect "a lot of things going on with the application of technology to really intimate things." According to Bloomberg, Campbell specifically referred to glasses and watches as becoming just as "intimate as the cell phone was."
March 4, 2013
ETA: By the end of this year
Piling on to its February rumor, the same people who spoke to Bloomberg about Apple gathering a 100-person team for the iWatch also said that we can expect to see the final product by the end of 2013. Additional speculated features include checking location and map coordinates, as well as a pedometer.
February 21, 2013
We got ourselves a patent application!
Though it dates back to August 2011, a patent filed from Apple under the title " Bi-Stable Spring With Flexible Display" was discovered by AppleInsider. The patent describes a bendable touch-screen that can be rendered into a phone or worn on -- and here's where it gets juicy-- the wrist. And while the document doesn't specifically point out it will be used for a watch, it does state that the glass can carry out tasks like ordering a playlist or "reviewing a list of recent phone calls."
February 12, 2013
How many people does it take to make an iWatch? A hundred, apparently.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is rounding up a team of 100 employees to develop its smartwatch. Citing people who are "familiar with the company," two important members of this team include James Foster, Apple's senior director of engineering, and program manager Achim Pantfoerder, who has 13 Apple patents under his belt.
February 10, 2013
It may feature curved glass
The all-right-that's-at-least-more-legitimate-when-it-comes-to-tech-rumors New York Times reported that Apple is tinkering around with bendable glass in order to develop its iWatch. Fanning the flames of this rumor is the fact that earlier in the year, Corning Glass Technologies, which is featured in the iPhone, announced that it has created flexible Willow glass.
December 27, 2012
And so the rumors begin...
Citing a Chinese blog site called Tech163.com, Business Insider reports that Apple is working with Intel to create an iOS-toting watch. In addition to Bluetooth capabilities, the device will have a 1.5-inch OLED screen. So, why does this rumor hold more water than all the other fluff that comes out of the tech mill? Perhaps it's because in 2011, Apple released the iPod Nano, which can be fashioned into a watch, and the idea of an iWatch isn't that far-fetched.

Farmall H front wheel differences

Farmall H front wheel differences
I have a 1940 H that has the front rims with loops to bolt onto the hubs. The 1943 H has blank rims that are mounted with what I once heard a guy call "wedgies." What I'm wondering is if there were certain ranges by year or SN that IH used the different rims? I don't put much stock in what I find on the 40, its kind of a frankenstein that runs real good. The 1943 is quite original and has been taken care of way better. I figure that it has the original pedestal and hubs with original-style rims. I also would like to know if there is a difference in value. I have another set of hubs for loop-style rims. Thanks, Trent.

Cub Database
The loop-style seems to be more common on later tractors, seems like most prior to 44/45 or so are more likely to have the wedge-type wheels. I think both were available from day 1, the loop style being optional
White Demo Super A Restoration Updates
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.
If you use the wedge style front rims, make sure to keep the clap bolts tight, especially if using something that puts a lot of weight on the front wheels such as a cultivator or loader. If they become even a little loose, the rims will work around the circle and shear the valve stem on a clamp. Only one guess as to how I know.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

EYEWITNESS SPORTSMountaineers Hammer Tribe
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Josh Lewis/Associated Press
Videographer: AJ Good
December 29, 2013
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Terry Henderson scored a season-high 19 points and West Virginia broke out to a big lead early, coasting to an 82-45 win over William & Mary on Sunday.
Freshman Nathan Adrian added a season-high 16 points, Juwan Staten added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Eron Harris scored 10 for West Virginia.
West Virginia (8-5) opened a 21-point lead late in the first half and extended that lead to as many as 40 points in the second half.
The Mountaineers shot 49 percent (30 of 61) from the floor in their final nonconference game before starting Big 12 play at TCU on Jan. 4.
Tim Rusthoven led William & Mary (6-5) in scoring with 13 points.
Both teams were coming off layoffs of at least a week and met for the first time in 31 years.
William & Mary was looking for its highest-profile win of the season but ended up with its worst shooting performance and lowest point production. The Tribe were held to 26 percent shooting (14 of 55).
West Virginia led 41-24 at halftime and held William & Mary scoreless over nearly five minutes to start the second half.
Henderson scored six of West Virginia's first eight points after halftime, and Adrian was brilliant over a 4-minute stretch that included 14 points and four 3-pointers.
Gary Browne's layup capped a 19-6 run that extended the Mountaineers' lead to 72-36 with 7:43 left.
West Virginia's Brandon Watkins earned his first start of the season. The last time the Mountaineers played in Charleston on Dec. 14, Watkins had 12 points and 11 rebounds against Marshall.
But Watkins went to the bench 3 minutes into the game after allowing Rusthoven to score three inside baskets that put William & Mary out front 6-2. Rusthoven wasn't much of a factor after that and William & Mary went more than seven minutes until its next field goal.
Remi Dibo came off the bench to hit a pair of 3-pointers, and West Virginia used a mix of long shots and fast-break points during a 15-0 run to seize a 23-8 lead midway through the first half.
The Mountaineers extended the lead to 37-16 on two free throws by Staten with 2:40 left before William & Mary scored 8 of the final 12 points of the half.
But the Tribe had too many scoring droughts and leading scorer Marcus Thornton was held to a season-low nine points.

Seymour College: Semester 1 Art exhibition 2012-Room 1
Seymour College, formerly Presbyterian Girls College is located in Adelaide South Australia only 15 minutes from the city. The Visual Arts, amongst many others, is a celebrated subject whereby students have the ability to not only study in a historic building but also exhibit their final work for exhibitions. Senior Stage 1 and 2 Visual Art students show their work within this space twice yearly as well as numerous other exhibitions that are held at Barr Smith House. Here are some examples of the variety of student work produced and the degree of critical thinking within their work.

Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

- Summary: Professor Layton's first adventure on the Nintendo 3DS system takes him to the colorful city of Monte d'Or, where he must stop a mysterious man from wreaking havoc with the powerful Mask of Chaos.

Mixed: 6 out of 54
Negative: 0 out of 54
Nov 5, 2012Combine the new 3D effect and art style with an intriguing look at Layton's history, along with a story that manages to propel the series forward, and you're left with what I believe to be the best in the series so far.
Oct 15, 2012The broad range of characters, the emotional tone of the storyline and the teasing promise of more makes for an utterly engrossing experience. The question is whether this is worth your money; if you enjoy puzzles and charming tales of adventure, then you should already know the answer.
Oct 30, 2012For its first arrival on Nintendo 3DS, Professor Layton's series is fairly shy. Except from an all new engine and a really good 3D effect, the game's core is still the same. Layton walk around in Dorémont or his childhood village to resolve more than 150 riddles with his sidekicks Emmy and Luke in present tilmes, while Randall act in the past. Two interesting storylines which further a great sense of immersion. Effective and straightforward, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is a really nice gaming experience, despite its lack of freshness.
Dec 17, 2012A sweet, good-natured puzzler that continues the series' traditions with some great new elements, too. [Jan 2013, p.69]
Nov 11, 2012Overall, though, this game hits all the notes that a professor Layton title should, resulting in another rewarding, cerebally invigorating quest. [Nov 2012, p.80]
Oct 26, 2012Layton is a good distance removed from the hysteria that surrounded his debut title, then, but the fifth game in this stylised series is enough to keep you entertained.

Oct 28, 2012Fantastic! This whole series is the best of the Nintendo DS! I recommend this game to everyone. You won't regret this purchase even if you haven't played any of the other 4 in the series before this one. The puzzles are the best in the business. Plus, as a bonus you get one puzzle download a day for the next 365 days! 150 + 365 = 515 puzzles total by October 28, 2013! A+ 10/10.… Expand
Oct 15, 2013This is an amazing game! Brilliant story, brilliant puzzles, brilliant music and I was a bit uncertain of the 3D graphics before I played it, but I now think that they work really well. The Professor Layton series is my favorite DS/3DS series and Miracle Mask is the best game in that series. I honestly can not think of any problems I had with it (or am having, because of the daily puzzles) and I am really envious of Japan as it has set up for the next game brilliantly.… Expand
Nov 14, 2012While Lost Future still contains my favourite story, Miracle Mask definitely has the best gameplay in a Layton game to date. I go to explore these underground ruins, expecting it to be a series of doors locked by puzzles, and the game actually turns into a dungeon crawler, while still maintaining the Layton style of using your brain to get through. The game's villain escapes being pursued by Layton and co on horseback, and you actually get to control this section and give chase. The new 3D puzzles are all excellent uses of what the 3DS can do. The story is incredibly interesting, miles better than Spector's call, (which is an achievement) telling the story of how Layton lost his best friend in the past, and at the same time showing us this beautiful city being under constant attacks by the "masked gentleman" and his "miracles". Seeing the two timelines intersect made for some really good storytelling. I'd definitely recommend this.… Expand
Dec 7, 2012This game is very good. The storyline, as always, never fails to impress, although shorter than the others. The puzzles are sometimes quite challenging, the game play is also different in some parts, like an RPG style. Another thing that gives the 9.3 rating is the daily puzzles for a year. That is about it, only minor things make it lose the 7%… Expand
Nov 11, 2012I was a bit worried when Level-5 said they were bringing the Professor Layton series to the 3DS, because I wasn't sure how well the 3D would be utilized for a typically beautiful 2D game. Well despite my worries, Level-5 manages to create an experience that wouldn't be the same on the standard Nintendo DS. The use of 3D models, though a bit odd at first, really works nicely with the art style. Even the cutscenes (which are typically in their standard 2D format) pop out and really add a sense of depth with the 3D slider on. The music is beautiful, and like always, really adds a feel to each area you encounter. There isn't much that has changed about the gameplay from the previous entries in the series, you go around solving puzzles in order to uncover a huge mystery. It will feel really familiar to veterans of the series. Also, don't go in expecting much to change with the gameplay, because it hasn't. There are a few minigames of sorts that use the touch screen, but are rare and nothing spectacular. The real appeal to this game is the fact that fans will get a deeper look into Layton's history. The game switches between the present day problem, and a series of events that occurred 18 years prior. The flow was never really an issue, except I wasn't a huge fan of Chapter 6. I won't spoil anything about it, other than it sort of breaks up the flow of the game, in my opinion. Other than that, the story is wonderfully told, and the ending will have you begging to play the last entry. Outside of the main game, you have the minigames that are in your trunk, and though I never got particularly into them, they do add some more gameplay. Also, as in previous games, there are outside puzzles that you can unlock after you complete the game. Plus, Nintendo is releasing puzzles every day for a whole year. This adds up to enough gameplay to make this game well worth your money. Now, an issue I could see with the game is that it doesn't do a great job explaining what happened previously (which could be good, if you want to play the others in the franchise) making it difficult for new players to fully appreciate Layton and Luke. However, all in all, this game is an excellent addition to your 3DS collection, and a must play for any Professor Layton fan. 9/10… Expand
Nov 16, 2012CRUMPETS AND TEA ANYONE?!?! You play as a jolly old bloke in this game and wear a hat....you are also a professor and the art design of your face is severely lacking.… Collapse
May 13, 2014The game is stylus intense game and boring for me. The story is dramatic and full if puzzle games ,if you want to experience a good story , go and watch some epic anime.....This is my personal opinion , the game is not worthy for its price , its design seem to be like an erotic game........Really not my favorite game at all time , I might think brain age is much better than this game (for brain challenging). Great music of course , but the story cannot engage me to play until the end of game , I have to tire myself to finish the game for writing the review.
-Dramatic but not engaging story
-Great music and puzzles but totally not suitable for those lazy to do the puzzles
-Stylus intense game might damage your screen protector (based on your using style)
-3.5 star sound cast for me....
-A lot of contents but not my cup of tea
-The game is not flexible
-Some anime could provide a much better story than this game.....other than the story , the puzzles is boring to me, if the main story cannot attract you (puzzles too) than it may be a great waste.....
-So, i would not recommend this game for someone who never play the series before… Expand

I happened to miss Nicholas Kristof's "The Secret Genocide Archive" when first published on the Op-Ed page of the February 23 New York Times. Though by all accounts, it made for quite an exhibit: Kirstof's commentary on the "victims of our indifference," accompanied by four photos drawn from the African Union's "secret archive of thousands of photos and reports that document the genocide under way in Darfur." Access to the AU's "secret archive" was shared with Kristof, he tells us, by "someone who believes that Americans will be stirred if they can see the consequences of their complacency." For it is our "passivity" in the face of this horror "which allows these people to be slaughtered," the Times's columnist believes.
Today being Wednesday, March 16—three weeks to the day after Kristof's commentary ran—we can no longer retrieve a copy of it, much less the photos that accompanied it, via the Times's website unless we agree to pay the Times a fee for access. Besides, the $2.95 that the Times charges for individual articles does "not include photos, charts, or graphics," the Times explains. On top of this, acquiring the rights to re-use the Times's electronic files of its photos will cost us a "minimum fee of $200.00"—and I for one have no intention of purchasing copies of either. Thus our indifference, our complacency, our passivity, and, ultimately, our complicity in the Darfur genocide are compounded even more. Immeasurably compounded. By the Times's proprietary policy. And by my reluctance to pay the Times so much as a cent for anything.
However. We no longer live in a simple print age, and the electronic medium to which you are presently connected has saved the day. It turns out that Nicholas Kristof's "The Secret Genocide Archive" itself has been archived in many other places, as have the photos he shared with his readers on the Op-Ed page of the Times three weeks ago. So access to the Kristof exhibit will not be such a problem after all. We may not be able to rely on the New York Times. Still. There is a whole cadre of Sudan-, Darfur-, and genocide-related archivists to which we can turn.
About the other archive, the "secret" one, Kristof elaborates:
This archive, including scores of reports by the monitors on the scene, underscores that this slaughter is waged by and with the support of the Sudanese government as it tries to clear the area of non-Arabs. Many of the photos show men in Sudanese Army uniforms pillaging and burning African villages. I hope the African Union will open its archive to demonstrate publicly just what is going on in Darfur.
The archive also includes an extraordinary document seized from a janjaweed official that apparently outlines genocidal policies. Dated last August, the document calls for the "execution of all directives from the president of the republic" and is directed to regional commanders and security officials.
"Change the demography of Darfur and make it void of African tribes," the document urges. It encourages "killing, burning villages and farms, terrorizing people, confiscating property from members of African tribes and forcing them from Darfur."
Indeed. Human Rights Watch reports that a "top Janjaweed leader in Darfur," Musa Hilal, has been "interviewed over the course of several hours by Human Rights Watch researchers in Khartoum," and Hilal told the organization that the "government of Sudan directed all military activities of the militia forces he had recruited." The organization even quotes Hilal: "All of the people in the field are led by top army commanders….These people get their orders from the Western command center, and from Khartoum."
(Quick aside. These quotes from Musa Hilal are horribly wrenched from context—insofar as one is even discernible in the transcript of Human Rights Watch's September 27, 2004 interview with him. So please check out the interview for yourselves. And remember: "when the bull or the cow dies, all the vultures come from the sky to feed off the carcass.")
Missing here is any hint of an explanation as to why an interview that Human Rights Watch conducted with Musa Hilal way back on September 27, 2004, has only been placed into circulation lately—though they seem quite proud of it now. More important, also missing is any indication that Human Rights Watch understands "just what is going on in Darfur" differently than Nicholas Kristof does: At bottom, an Arab "jihad" against non-Arabs, an Arab "cleansing" of non-Arabs, an Arab "genocide" of non-Arabs. And all of it situated within a general "Clash of Civilizations"-type narrative in which the Civilized World ("The West") is forced to confront the Arab (not to mention Islamic—or Islamist, to use the going phrase) plague across many theaters of conflict, the western Sudan being just one of them.
"For decades," Kristof wrote on the Times's Op-Ed page back on March 27, 2004, "whenever the topic of genocide has come up, the refrain has been, "Never again'." With this single sentence, Kristof thereby became the first person on the pages of the New York Times to associate the word 'genocide' with an alleged policy of the government in Khartoum towards the western Sudan and the non-Arab population in the Darfur states in particular.
Just three days earlier (March 24, 2004), Kristof had come pretty close to doing the same when he wrote that:
The most vicious ethnic cleansing you've never heard of is unfolding here in the southeastern fringes of the Sahara Desert. It's a campaign of murder, rape and pillage by Sudan's Arab rulers that has forced 700,000 black African Sudanese to flee their villages.
The culprit is the Sudanese government, one of the world's nastiest. Its Arab leaders have been fighting a civil war for more than 20 years against its rebellious black African south. Lately it has armed lighter-skinned Arab raiders, the Janjaweed, who are killing or driving out blacks in the Darfur region near Chad.
"They came at 4 a.m. on horseback, on camels, in vehicles, with two helicopters overhead," recalled Idris Abu Moussa, a 26-year-old Sudanese farmer. "They killed 50 people in my village. My father, grandmother, uncle and two brothers were all killed."
"They don't want any blacks left," he added.
Now. A quote such as this—"They don't want any blacks left"—reverberates so deeply within the guts of the American experience of racism that upon first reading it, I thought that the Americans were at it once again, imposing not only their McDonalds and their Disneyworlds upon other cultures and peoples, but their nightmares and their dilemmas as well. In this case, a projection of the "American dilemma" onto the Sudan.
Three days later, Kristof closed his March 27, 2004 column with the question: "Are the world's pledges of 'never again' really going to ring hollow one more time?"
In my opinion, Nicholas Kristof's performance with respect to the western Sudan has been exemplary of what is worst about journalism in the States. The "Never again" question to which Kristof returns repeatedly is one that he himself never asks about what American Power actually does in this world—for example, invading Iraq and killing an untold number of Iraqis—but only about what American Power doesn't do—in the case at hand, militarily intervening in the Sudan and putting a stop to some other power's killing.
So the "Never again" pledge never applies to what American Power itself does. It applies only to what American Power doesn't do. A category of moral consciousness about which the "solidarity" groups are free to be positively apoplectic.
Think about it. The Newspaper of Record in the States giving the world an Op-Ed columnist who insists that we all bear witness to the consequences of our alleged "indifference," "complacency," and "passivity" with respect to the Sudan. But not to the consequences of our willful and deliberate criminality elsewhere.
The Americans lead the world in threatening or using violence against others. (Against their own, too.)
They also lead the world in bearing witness to the atrocities committed by others.
Last, they lead the world in denouncing themselves for not living up to the "Never again" pledge. But only where the atrocities committed by others are concerned. Never their own.
The people who practice this craft regard themselves, and are widely regarded, as critics of American Power.
But in my eyes, they are nothing but its servants.
Really sleazy ones at that.
FYA ("For your archives"): By my count, Nicholas Kristof has mentioned the situation in the western Sudan no less than 27 times on the pages of the New York Times, while he has used his Op-Ed column to focus on this situation no less than 18 times, adding one brief entry in the Times's Magazine section along the way.
Here is a list of 19 pieces focusing on the situation in the western Sudan to have appeared on the pages of the New York Times under the Nicholas D. Kristof byline.—If I've missed one or more, be sure to let me know.

Postscript (March 19). I've just learned that back on February 23, the American filmmaker Michael Moore used his personal—and high-traffic—website to second (i.e., to vet, to okay, to sign-off-on) Nicholas Kristof's commentary of the same day, and the subject of this very blog: "The Secret Genocide Archive."
This selection of Kristof's commentary for Moore's website is deeply troubling for me, as it creates the appearance that Moore also is seconding (vetting, advancing, and the like) some version of the American military-to-the-rescue option in the western Sudan—an option that Nicholas Kristof himself would embrace (whether Kristof would call it a "coalition of the willing" or any other name), and an option that I am quite confident NATO's Supreme Allied Commander James L. Jones would also be willing to accommodate, sooner or later, and under the right circumstances. (See "Africa Integral to U.S. European Command, General Says," American Forces Press Service, March 9.)
Do you suppose this is what Michael Moore himself thinks about the western Sudan? After all, for the week of March 14, 2005, Moore's website selected the Save Darfur Coalition for its "Link of the Week." "The U.S. Congress declared that the killings in Darfur amount to 'genocide'," the accompanying text for the same week told us, "while also urging U.S. President George W. Bush to call the situation in Sudan 'by its rightful name — genocide'."
(Apparently, this refers to the Darfur Accountability Act of 2005 (S. 495). Though there are a hell of a lot of others that it might also refer to. Including the Comprehensive Peace in Sudan Act of 2004 (S. 2720). And a recent resolution introduced into the Senate under the auspicious title, Calling on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to assess the potential effectiveness of and requirements for a NATO-enforced no-fly zone in the Darfur region of Sudan (S.Con. Res. 17).)
Glancing at Moore's website right now (March 19), I find lots of bona fide anti-war material and links that commemorate the fact that today is the Second Anniversary of the launching of the American and British aggression over Iraq.
And I find pressure building not only within the American Government, but within segments of the American Left as well, to "do something" with respect to the western Sudan.
But to do what, I wonder? To adequately support the African Union monitors and peacekeepers? To begin interdicting, on a global basis, all trafficking in light weaponry? Or to invite NATO to enforce a "no-fly" zone? Or the Americans, the British, and the French? To bomb the desert? Some pharmaceutical or petro-chemical plants? To award Nicholas Kristof the Pulitzer Prize in the category of the most vocally expressed moral outrage over the fact that the same global powers that have been mercilessly pounding Iraq for the past 24 months haven't done anything more proactive and merciful to pound the Sudan?
One other thing. But can anyone tell me whether Michael Moore's latest documentary, which I believe he was working on as recently as the spring of 2004, was ever released to the public? (The working title of it escapes me at the moment.) Last I had heard, close to one year ago, Moore's documentary had been suppressed by the Disney Company, the distribution of his film banned in any country where Disney operates (or something like this), and the whole saga completely erased from the public's consciousness, on the exact same model of the foreign—and no doubt at times American—nationals whose misfortune it is to become ensnared by the actually-existing American Gulag.
Just wondering.
Postscript (June 25): For anyone inclined to question authority, and the assumptions without which the worldview of the powerful would retreat like dew before the morning sun, here are several items worth sinking your teeth into:
"The Secret Genocide Archive," Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, February 23, 2005
"The American Witness," Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, March 2, 2005
"The Pope and Hypocrisy," Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, April 6, 2005

"Day 141 Of Bush's Silence," Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, May 31, 2005
"A Policy Of Rape," Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, June 5, 2005

"Darfur: How many more will have to die?" Nat Hentoff, Jewish World Review, June 20, 2005
Notice how central a particular version of the "Crisis in Darfur" has been to "humanitarian" interventionists in the States, and how important this version of the crisis has been on the American Left, as indicated by the Truthout organization's decision to archive the writings of the New York Times's Nicholas Kristof, rather than critiquing them, as they deserve.
Moreover, it appears that many of the States-based Jewish organizations—e.g., the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum simply fetishes this line of thinking—will propagate any narrative that can be filed as a subset of The Holocaust. Particularly if the events it narrates pale in comparison to the real thing.
And if the narrative incorporates "eliminationist," even "genocidal" Arabs (i.e., members of the same "tribe" or the same "civilization" that the State of Israel confronts daily), so much the better.
In crucial features, the reigning narrative of the "Crisis in Darfur"—and I'm posting the Kristof because it exemplifies this narrative—replicates crucial features of the reigning narrative for the breakup of Yugoslavia (e.g., Marlise Simons in Friday's New York Times, specifically whatever Simons denigrates as coming from the mouth of Slobodan Milosevic), for the wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina, culminating in the "Srebrenica massacre," and, ultimately, for the situation in the Serbian province of Kosovo, culminating in the U.S.-led NATO-bloc's war in the spring of 1999.
The major difference being that the NATO bloc hasn't started dropping bombs over the Sudan to right a humanitarian crisis only to be exacerbated by the bombing campaign.
But in terms of their similarities, a major similarity among the narratives for the former Yugoslavia and the Sudan today has been the way that armed conflicts, civil wars (actually, several concurrent civil wars, including a lot of very localized fighting and grudges with no real political significance beyond their local significance), have been portrayed as something more than armed conflicts with all of the attendant ugliness and barbarism one would expect in any such conflict.
For reasons not all of which are readily explicable (i.e., there has always appeared to be a great deal of emotionalism and irrationalism at work here), the Left invested heavily in that part of the narrative of the wars over the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Sudan today that makes everythng seem an unambiguous instance—not of war per se, but of an ethnically or racially motivated mass crime.
Thus narrative frameworks for talking about and wringing one's hands over events far sexier than just a civil war in central Europe or a lot of concurrent little wars for survival in east-central Africa were born.
Particularly for the moralists who embrace this narrative, it simultaneously enables them to adopt very public poses (a) against ethnically or racially motivated mass crimes, and, crucially, (b) against the alleged inaction of the Great Powers in the face of these ethnically or racially motivated mass crimes. It enables moralists such as Nicholas Kristof to accuse the Great Powers not just of failing to militarily intervene in civil wars, but of failing to militarily intervene in genocidal crime scenes—the Serbs' attempted destruction of the Bosnian Muslims, or the Sudanese Arabs' attempted destruction of the "black Africans" (or whatever the going phrase is).
Here we are clearly examining the psychology of intellectuals in relation to the Great Powers, and the mass psychology of political movements as well. Only not in central Europe last decade. And not any place in Africa today. But among the Global Phonies and Moral Tartuffes in the States, the U.K., and elsewhere in the North.
So, in the spirit of dissing these rich-country charlatans, let me close for now by linking-up with four items that provide some critical insight into the reigning narratives and psychology of the Masters—the last one, by John Pilger, being a brilliant piece of work:
"How Glo-Bono-Phonies and Trojan Horse NGOs Sabotage the Struggle Against Neoliberalism," Patrick Bond et al., CounterPunch, June 17, 2005

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A traffic stop in Jeffersontown turned into a chase that ended in a wooded area in Simpsonville.
According to Jeffersontown police, officers pulled over a vehicle near Hurstbourne Parkway and Interstate 64 around 4:30 p.m. Friday, for a routine traffic stop.
Police said while Robert Lawson, 28, was pulled over and talking to the officer, he took off. The chase
went down I-64 east until they hit mile-marker 28, just south of
Simpsonville, in a front yard in Shelby County.
"Whew! it was an exciting afternoon," said Al Purnell. Purnell is
known for his sausage company, Purnell's "Old Folk's" Sausage. Friday, he
was resting on his couch, recovering from knee surgery when he heard the
commotion. "I keep hearing sirens and I said well it must've
been a wreck or something and then I keep hearing more and more."
long, he realized it was a police chase that was ending in his 17-acre
field after Lawson crashed his vehicle into a tree. According to police Lawson had to be tased.
Police said he was running because of outstanding warrants
for drug possession charges in Indiana and Kentucky.
Lawson was taken into custody and is facing several charges including assault, fleeing and evading, resisting arrest and giving false information. He will be
extradited back to Indiana to face his previous charges.

- Whoa, nice shorthanded flurry there, too bad Vermette lost control of it.

- Pahlsson is 3/3 in the faceoff circle tonight, with 8:17 to go in the first.
- Davidge just Miami-dropped! 12:10 into the game. Zatkoff, not Boyle.

- For fuck's sake, boys, stay out of the box!
- …fail. 3-0.
- LOL. 4-0. Yep. Thanks for nothing, Mason.
- Garon in, 4:41 to go in the first.
- First period stats: 3 shots on goal (3 missed, 3 blocked); Blunden had 4 hits before his penalty (team hits: 14); Vermette is 3 of 10 in the dot, Pahlsson 3 of 4.
