About Our Rescue Group:
Doxie Acre was founded Jan 2003Doxie Acre rescues dachshunds and dachshund mixes that have no where else to go. All of the dogs taken in will be completely vetted which includes spay/neuter, shots, hw tests, dental and anything else our vet recommends. We will spare no expense to save the life of the dog taken into our care. Once the dog has been released from our vet and any issues the dog may have had have been addressed he is then ready for adoption. We then find the dog the best home through the application process.Any dog that we adopt always can come back to our rescue of needed.
We got our first Dachshund 14 years ago and it was love at first sight. Like most people we were surprised to find out that even a little dog like a dachshund gets dumped. The more we talked to people and researched we realized the need to try and save the ones we can.
Come Meet our Pets:
We visit a local pet friendly pet supply store once a month and take some of our adoptable kids with us. If the applicant is local we will take the dog to their home.Our Adoption Process:
Applicant must fill out applicationApplicant must supply vet and reference information
Applicant must pass a home inspection
Applicant must sign a contact when adopting
Adoption fees vary per age of the dog

I love my Pizza ;)
I cook pizza from scratch every week for my family. It still isn't quite good enough yet, but no one complains and every slice is gone by the end of the night.
I also do some slow BBQ with pork butt, brisket and ribs. Ten hours of cooking and refreshments make for a very nice meal ;)

"I have heard a lot of different things like if you chew your food 15 times, it will help you lose weight, or if you have a glass of water before each meal, then you won't eat as much. How do I know what is true and what isn't?"
As for chewing your food 15 times, all that does is slow you down if you are a fast eater, allowing you to enjoy your food. You may pick up on your body's cues that you're full if you take your time. Any slowing-down technique can help avoid overeating. Drinking water before you eat probably won't make you any more full, but it won't hurt, either. But eating food with a higher water content, like fruits, vegetables, and even soups, will make you feel more full, so you eat fewer calories.
When hunting for info, remember to use common sense -- if certain advice seems too good to be true, it probably is.

"I made this salad today; and I think my only criticism is I would have to either drain pineapple or cut down on water, because it didn't seem to set quite right.It was warmly received by all those that tasted it; and they did enjoy the flavour variety of this salad."
"I loved this recipe too; because my Mom's diabetic, and loves ginger, and so I substituted Sugar Twin for the sugar, and used Corn syrup, as I didn't have Molasses on hand.This recipe in my opinion was on the best I've found; because although it still calls for two kinds of sweeteners, it was less sweet than others I had looked at. As previously..."
"I made a batch yesterday as my contribution to the Afterschool Club at my church; and since it's a group of 7-13 years old kids, I used strawberry jello, but skipped the nuts.

When I arrived in Ireland last July, I had a plan for Wednesday, my first full day in Dublin: I'd take the train out to either Portmarnock Golf Club or The Island Golf Club and tee it up. So there I was, golf bag over my shoulder, at the Lansdowne Road DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) station staring at a color-coded map of the train routes. I had no idea where I was going—it would have been way too easy to call ahead and ask—so I figured I'd buy a ticket to the town of Portmarnock, confident at least that's where Portmarnock Golf Club would be. However, I had a sneaking suspicion that I'd read somewhere (in my guidebook on the plane, perhaps?) that the club didn't allow visitors on Wednesdays because it's a members' tournament day. I asked the bored-looking fellow behind the ticket window if he knew where The Island Golf Club was. He shook his head.
"Okay. Portmarnock, please."
Boarding the train, I quickly learned that in addition to a world-famous golf course, there is also a very fine beach in Portmarnock. It was eighty-five degrees and sunny that day, so the train was packed with Dubliners, all freckled and alabaster-skinned (except for the few who were red as lobsters, having already taken advantage of the recent heat wave) and decked out in their beach best.
I'm guessing that Dubliners don't get to the beach very often: I've never seen such an eclectic mix of outfits and bathing costumes. (I can't bring myself to use a negative-sounding word like "tacky" because they all looked so cute.) It reminded me of the way kids dress (or, more accurately, how parents dress their kids) for the beach in America: neon swimsuits, cheap rubber flip-flops, oversize T-shirts that say beach baby or surf's up, and sunglasses straight out of a 1980s music video. It looked like everyone had just come from a blowout sale at the dollar store.
And then there were the packs of teenage boys taking obvious interest in the gaggles of teenage girls in bikini tops and short shorts. The boys nudged each other and strained their necks, leaning into the aisles and peering over their shoulders, trying to sneak a peek at every girl on the train. After spotting a particularly pretty or well-endowed young lady, they huddled together and giggled, threw punches and put each other in headlocks. When one lad summoned the courage to put himself forward, the exchange went like this:
"Where are you fine-looking ladies off to?"
"Malahide?Malahide's shite. We're going to Portmarnock."
"My granny's from Malahide. We always go to Malahide."
"Aw, c'mon. Granny'll be all right without you. How's about Portmarnock?"
"Nope. Malahide."
"Malahide it is then, lads!"
Despite doing their best to appear uninterested, the girls seemed to enjoy this ritual just as much as the boys did, and apparently the boys were right about Portmarnock being the best beach, because 95 percent of the train got off there, including me. We all filed along the platform, up the stairs and down the street, a parade of trundling baby carriages, smacking flip-flops and crinkling grocery bags. When I reached the gas station on the outskirts of town, that nagging voice about Wednesdays at Portmarnock returned. I decided it was best to phone the club rather than walk the last quarter mile into town, blow five euros on a cab and then be turned away. (Common sense kicks in eventually.) My suspicion turned out to be true: It was tournament day and the club was closed to visitors. When I returned sweating to the station forty minutes later, the ticket agent recognized me and joked, "That was a quick round of golf!"

World's Most Underrated Cities
UKraft / Alamy
Düsseldorf, Germany
Voted the city with the best quality of life in Germany, this metropolis just north of Cologne on the Rhine River offers a fashionable welcome to visitors. Its congress center hosts some of Europe's major trade shows, while its chic Königsallee, a tree-lined shopping street fondly called the Kö, is home to every designer boutique imaginable. To sample Düsseldorf's less stuffy ambience, head to Old Town, where each night crowds of young locals descend to slurp huge steins of pilsner and feast on pork knuckles.
Don't Miss: Allow time for a visit to Schloss Benrath, a circa-1755 Rococo palace set on expansive, parklike grounds and home to a trio of museums.

The San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande High football teams are both guaranteed spots in the CIF Northern Division playoffs. But the rivals will play for a share of the Pac 7 championship on Friday. The Tigers and Eagles are tied for second place right now at 4-1 in league, but the winner will join St. Joseph on top of the standings.
Arroyo Grande is riding a three game winning streak, while San Luis Obispo has won four straight. Last year the Eagles beat the Tigers in the regular season finale for the Pac 7 championship. "We're battling for a share of the league championship. Whenever that's at stake you know it's a contest that's going to be hard fought," said AG head coach Tom Goossen.
"If you can set up rivalry week you can't set it up any better. It's senior night for our seniors that have been in this program now for four years. It's a chance for a share of the league title. It's everything you can dream about as far as Friday night football," said David Kelley, the head coach of the Tigers.
San Luis Obispo seniors have never beaten Arroyo Grande at the varsity level. "A league championship is something I've wanted for the last three years, every year I've been on varsity. Last year we came really close but just weren't able to surpass AG but hopefully this year it's our time to shine," said Jack Ferguson, the Tigers' star lilnebacker.
Both sides acknowledge this game has special significance based on how close the schools are and the years of competition. Both sides also respect the other. "They have so many weapons. They spread out the field on you offensively and when you miss a tackle their hitting it with a touchdown," said Goossen.
"They're disciplined, they play hard football, they're well coached, they have good athletes. Just all around a very good football team," added Kelley.
Kick off is set for 7:00pm on Friday, the winner might earn a first round home playoff game.
Because St. Joseph beat the Tigers and Eagles in the regular season, the Knights own the tiebreaker and are guaranteed the league's top seed for CIF.

I talked to quite a few sources yesterday about implications of the swine flu. In particular, the H-2A workers In Mexico cannot be processed until May 6 because U.S. consulate offices will be closed at least until then. Look for coverage in The Packer on that story.
This development perhaps has the most produce-related implications for agricultural employers in the Southeast, who were waiting on workers to harvest blueberries, peaches and other commodities.
While the softer economy has freed up some workers for agriculture, a small but growing minority of growers rely on the H-2A program. The imperative for U.S. agricultural employers is quick resolution of the holdup in H-2A worker processing. If U.S. consulate offices don't open within a couple of weeks, significant regional crop losses resulting from labor shortages are anticipated.
As if growers didn't have enough to worry about, the United Fresh Produce Association sent a member alert yesterday with information about a chance in federal immigration enforcement policy. From the United communication:
Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced new policy direction for worksite enforcement through the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division.? Under the new guidelines, ICE agents will be instructed to take action against employers and supervisors who "knowingly" hire illegal workers as well as the workers themselves.? This will effectively shift the department's focus away from unauthorized workers to employers.
Under this new policy, ICE and other relevant agencies will conduct undercover investigations that focus on establishing a pattern of willful abuse by employers.? They intend to focus on mistreatment of workers, document fraud, money laundering and other violations of current federal law.? In addition, ICE will continue to arrest and process for removal any illegal workers who are found in the course of these worksite enforcement actions in a manner consistent with immigration law and DHS priorities. Furthermore, ICE will use all available civil and administrative tools, including civil fines and debarment, to penalize and deter illegal employment.
Here is the fact sheet on the issue from the Department of Homeland Security:
Fact Sheet
April 30, 2009
Contact: DHS Press Office, 202-282-8010
Worksite Enforcement Strategy
• The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital responsibility to enforce the law and engage in effective worksite enforcement to reduce the demand for
Illegal employment and protect employment opportunities for the nation's lawful workforce.
• An effective, comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy must address both employers who knowingly hire illegal workers as well as the workers themselves.
Of the more than 6,000 arrests related to worksite enforcement in 2008, only 135 were employers.
• This week, updated worksite enforcement guidance was distributed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which reflects a renewed Department-wide focus targeting criminal aliens and employers who cultivate
Illegal workplaces by breaking the country's laws and knowingly hiring illegal workers.
• Effective immediately, ICE will focus its resources in the worksite enforcement program on the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire illegal
workers in order to target the root cause of illegal immigration.
• ICE will continue to arrest and process for removal any illegal workers who are found in the course of these worksite enforcement actions in a manner consistent
with immigration law and DHS priorities. Furthermore, ICE will use all available civil and administrative tools, including civil fines and debarment, to penalize and
deter illegal employment.
• ICE officers will be held to high investigative standards including:
o ICE will look for evidence of the mistreatment of workers, along with evidence of trafficking, smuggling, harboring, visa fraud, identification
document fraud, money laundering, and other such criminal conduct.
o ICE offices will obtain indictments, criminal arrest or search warrants, or a commitment from a U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) to prosecute the targeted employer before arresting employees for civil immigration violations at a worksite.
• Existing humanitarian guidelines will remain in effect, impacting worksite enforcements involving 25 or more illegal workers. This reflects a change from
the previous threshold of 150.
• DHS is committed to providing employers with the most up-to-date and effective resources to comply with our nation's laws.
• DHS will continue to work with partners in the public and private sectors to maintain a legal workforce through training and employee verification tools like
E-verify, which improve the accuracy of determinations of employment eligibility and combat illegal employment
• As a former border state Governor, Napolitano signed into law one of the toughest employer sanctions laws in the country in 2007 to target employers who
knowingly hired illegal workers.

L'exploitation du phoque à l'embouchure du Saguenay par les Iroquoiens de 1000 à 1534
SKU: 553115 During the early period of silviculture in Quebec (1000–1534), the St. Lawrence Iroquois were active in exploiting marine resources—particularly seals—around the mouth of the Saguenay River. The Iroquois likely came from the Québec City area, where their base camps were located. They had adapted to the rich marine resources of the estuary over time, becoming the most mobile of the St. Lawrence Valley Iroquois. In this study, the author describes two seasonal hunts. The first took place in spring, when male hunters drew on large populations of Greenland seals. The second was in summer, when entire families hunted grey seals and common seals. The by-products of the seal hunt would have been used as food reserves, raw materials or trade items. The author also presents the hypothesis that these excursions into the river estuary were not necessarily related to the precarious nature of agricultural pursuits in the Québec City region, given that agricultural practices would have been adopted only in the fourteenth or even at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Michel Plourde is an archaeologist specializing in Quebec prehistory. He works as an archaeological consultant with a range of public, paragovernmental and private organizations. Since 2007, he has also been a lecturer with the Department of History at the Université Laval, where he teaches archaeological excavation techniques to first-year students. With a Master's degree and a Doctorate in Archaeology from the Department of Archaeology at the Université de Montréal, the author has also studied the use of pottery among First Peoples living beyond its primary areas of production, both in the St. Lawrence River estuary and around James Bay. He has written on the potential location of Stadacona, on seal-hunting techniques of the First Peoples of southern Quebec and on how small archaeological sites contribute to our understanding of nomadic groups.

Tracy Turner & Kent W. Clapp Killed in Plane Crash (PHOTOS)
by Meg at . CommentsKent W. Clapp, 62, head of Medical Mutual of Ohio died along with his 40 year old fiance Tracy Turner when their charter plane crashed into the side of a mountain in Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
Clapp had been the Chairman and CEO of Medical Mutual of Ohio since 1997. Formerly part of Blue Cross, their website indicates it is Ohio's oldest and largest health insurance company, employing 2700 people in eight states. Turner was an actress and owner of Turner Fashion Enterprises.
The couple, who lived together in Avon Lake, Ohio, were vacationing in the Caribbean and missed their scheduled Continental Airlines flight on Wednesday in the British Virgin Islands. It was to have taken them to Puerto Rico, then on to Newark, N.J. and Cleveland. Clapp chartered a small plane to take them to San Juan so that they could make the next connection of their missed flight.
The pilot, Ken Webster was also killed when the craft crashed into fog shrouded El Yunque mountain, 13 miles from San Juan, at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Webster was an experienced pilot and airplane mechanic who owned Websta's Aviation Services Inc.
The NTSB indicates that U.S. investigator Todd Gunther will lead the probe into the crash of the Rockwell International 690B plane.
A statement on the Medical Mutual of Ohio website said, in part: "It is difficult to put into words the loss we are feeling. It was Kent's leadership and hard work that turned Medical Mutual into a success and an industry leader. That will be Kent's legacy. His priorities were twofold: his employees, and his customers."
Clapp is survived by sons Jason, Alex, Nathan, Cameron and daughters Danelle Bennington and Isabele Clapp.

It's just minutes before the March 23 taping of the Seven Voices pilot -- a series of live DVDs being produced in hi-def by Immersive Studios -- when I realize I'm the owner of a brimming bladder. What's more, I'm already seated in the back row of the Boulder studio's No. 7 soundstage.
"ONCE SEATED, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU REMAIN SEATED FOR PART ONE AND PART TWO OF THE PERFORMANCE," reads the audience-guidelines sheet the doorman handed me on the way in. "Leaving your seat will likely halt the performance and the filming."
I'm horrible about following directions. Always have been. What can I say? I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel. But tonight I won't be pissing on anyone's parade. Not when I am one of 75 people lucky enough to get tickets for this exclusive gig by Otis Taylor, the artist Immersive chose for its pilot. Besides being one of Colorado's most prized musical exports, Taylor's a national treasure, and the privilege of seeing him live in this intimate, Storyteller-esque environment is worth any minor discomfort I might have to endure.
As Taylor, clad in his trademark yellow University Bicycles cap, makes his way to the stage, a hush rolls across the audience like a wave. It's a good thing: Although Taylor is a grizzly bear of a man -- imagine Victor French, Michael Landon's bearded sidekick on Highway to Heaven, if he were a couple of shades darker, with a ball cap and a pair of ice-blue contacts -- he's surprisingly soft-spoken. Which is weird, considering just how ominous his music is. Of course, it could also be due to the fact that Taylor's been sidelined by a cold all week. Nonetheless, tonight, despite Immersive's elegant setup, he seems more like a guy playing his songs in his living room for and with a few friends. Standing in front of floor-length velvet curtains and flanked by a parade of guitars, amps and a drum kit -- obviously cosmetic, since Taylor doesn't employ a timekeeper -- Taylor charms us right off the bat. It's disarming to discover that he isn't taking this whole thing too seriously.
"They want me to tell stories," he says as he tunes his guitar. "But right now, I don't have a story."
Yeah, right. Anyone familiar with Taylor knows that the acclaimed musician has quite a story. The Chicago native moved to Denver with his parents in the early '50s, after his uncle was brutally murdered. When he was fourteen, Taylor happened upon the Denver Folklore Center, and it was there that the precocious teen picked up his first instrument and convinced founder and local folk legend Harry Tuft and his staff to tutor him.
"Otis always had a good persona," Tuft comments. "He always had a good sense of himself. He wasn't egotistical; it was just a good self image, I guess you could call it. He was willing to be experimental, to try things out. He wasn't afraid to fail."
Thanks to Tuft and company, Taylor ended up becoming a multi-instrumentalist, and he played in a few local outfits before heading to London in the late '60s. Upon returning to Colorado a short time later, Taylor linked up with Tommy Bolin in T&O Short Line, 4-Nikators and Zephyr. Then, in 1977, Taylor set aside performing and became an antiques dealer. He re-emerged in 1997 with Blue Eyed Monster, the first in a string of stirring releases -- 1998's When Negroes Walked the Earth, 2001's White African, 2002's Respect the Dead, 2003's Truth Is Not Fiction, 2004's Double V and 2005's Below the Fold -- that garnered reams of praise and ultimately earned numerous WC Handy nods as well as an award for "Best New Artist Debut."
Taylor has dubbed his sound "trance blues," and that's a perfect way to describe his sparse sound; he completely transcends the blues idiom. He's more of a singer-songwriter who uses blues as a foundation than a traditional bluesman. Drenched in reverb and delay, Taylor's plaintive songs are driven by terse arpeggios that linger, as opposed to the soul-kissed, fleet-fingerings of SRV and his ilk or the rustic voicings of the Delta giants. And his velvety croon -- a sure-handed, tonal composite of Ray Charles, Teddy Pendergrass and Bruce Cockburn -- is a thing of utter beauty in itself. But what really sets him apart are his brooding, thought-provoking narratives. Rather than just plumbing the depths of despair, Taylor's socially conscious songs are incisive and relevant.
As expected, Taylor more than delivers on this night. He peppers two 35-minute sets with plenty of older material, along with songs from his forthcoming album, Definition of a Circle, due out sometime next year. The most striking of the new compositions is "A Few Feet Away from You," which deals with the not-so-subtle racism he and Cassie, his light-skinned progeny, faced as she was growing up.
"I wrote this song," Taylor explains. "It's about my daughter. As you can see, she doesn't really look like me. When she was little, we would travel and people would stare. ŒWhy is this big black man with this little girl?'"

However, even if you do get to the entrance to Vault 87, the door will never open-- even with Lockpicking 100. This is because it is labeled as impossible. If you enter through Camp Little Light and go into Vault 87, find the room where you see the back of Vault 87's door and go to the yellow box (as you did in the prelude of the game, when escaping from Vault 101) to open Vault 87's. When it opens, you will see a gas-like wall of a brownish color. Walk through it to be teleported to the middle of Vault 87. Therefore, you can never walk between the outside door and the cog-like door of Vault 87 as you will always be teleported back to the middle of Vault 87. |

How does the brightness of a star depend on its distance from us?
The apparent brightness of a star is proportional to 1 divided by its distance squared. That is, if you took a star and moved it twice as far away, it would appear 1/4 as bright; if you moved it four times the distance, it would appear 1/16 as bright.
The reason this happens is simple. Imagine that you are the star, spitting out imaginary light rays in all directions. Now take each of your hands and touch your thumb to your forefinger to make a circle that you can look through. Hold both hands up in front of your face and imagine that each circle is a "telescope" that someone is using to "look" at you (in other words, to collect the light rays that you are spitting out).
Now move one hand twice as far away from your eyes as the other and look at the faraway "telescope" through the nearby one. You should see that it is only about 1/4 the size. (What has happened is that each of its two dimensions has shrunk by 1/2, so when you multiply them together to get the area it has gone down by 1/4.) This means that the second circle would only collect 1/4 as many of the light rays that you're throwing at it, so it would measure you (the star) to only be 1/4 as bright.

Finals Week and Mid-Season Additions
After two days with just one game combined (Rutgers beating Rider in overtime last night) things will pick up some for the remainder of the week. St. John's made some news on the injury front today, announcing that senior Anthony Mason Jr. will be out three more weeks due to his hamstring injury. Mason Jr., who received a medical redshirt last season due to a foot injury suffered against Boston College, would likely be a safe bet to return around mid-January.
There was also the announcement that sophomore guard Quincy Roberts will miss the remainder of the season due to recurring migraines which are linked to a concussion he suffered during the team's preseason trip to Canada. The school will apply for a medical redshirt and it's hard to see any reason for the NCAA to deny said request. The good news for head coach Norm Roberts and his staff is that they're blessed with depth at essentially every position on the floor, so even with Mason Jr. missing the first few weeks of Big East play they won't lack for bodies.
As for additions to come following finals week Seton Hall and Marist stand to benefit from such arrivals. The Pirates welcome two players into the fold in Keon Lawrence and Jeff Robinson. Robinson will be eligible for the Temple game following his year out as a Memphis transfer while Lawrence returns from suspension due to a drunken driving charge picked up in early November. Bobby Gonzalez's team becomes deeper just in time for league play; the Pirates have two games before welcoming West Virginia and Syracuse to start the Big East portion of the schedule.
It will also be interesting to see where sharpshooter Jamel Jackson stands in the rotation with their addition as well; after playing sparingly against UMass the JUCO transfer caught fire against VMI (12-for-15 3PT) on his way to scoring 40 points. Coach Gonzalez noted after the game that matchups had a lot ot do with the disparity in minutes for Jackson and his playing time may rely more upon how he'd fit into the gameplan instead of the additions of Lawrence and Robinson.
Marist adds Villanova transfer Casiem Drummond, who will add some much-needed bulk to the frontcourt. How much of a role his addition plays is up for debate; he is a Big East-caliber talent but he didn't exact rack up minutes while playing on the Main Line. But for a team that's still searching for its first win of the season Drummond will be a key factor as the Red Foxes re-enter MAAC play at the end of the month.
The key with mid-season transfers is to make sure that they don't upset the team chemistry; while guys have spent time practicing there's a considerable difference in game action. Expect this to be something that a successful team such as Seton Hall would have to be more conscious of as 2009 comes to a close; an upset of the rotation could do the trick for a team that's struggled like Marist has.
Weekly Honors
America East: Stony Brook G Muhammad El-Amin was named to the conference's Honor Roll due to a pair of team-high performances in the Seawolves' 1-1 week: 18 points in a win over Colgate and 16 in a loss to Fordham.
Atlantic 10: Fordham had two honorees for their play in games last week: Freshman F Chris Gaston was named Rookie of the Week for his fifth consecutive double-double (25 points, 11 rebounds) in their win over Stony Brook and G Brenton Butler was named to the Honor Roll for his 25-point outing in the same game.
Big East: Three players from area schools were named to the conference's Honor Roll on Monday. Rutgers C Hamady Ndiaye for his 22 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Monmouth, St' John's G/F D.J. Kennedy for his averages (12.0 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 3.5 apg) in a 2-0 week for the Red Storm, and Seton Hall F Herb Pope for his averages (18.5 ppg, 17.5 rpg) in a 2-0 week for the Pirates.
Colonial: Hofstra freshman F Halil Kanacevic was named CAA Rookie of the Week due to his averages of 9.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg and 3.0 blocks per game in a 2-0 week for the Pride. It's the second time this season that Kanacevic has received the honor.
Ivy: Two players from area Ivy League schools were honored on Monday. Columbia G Norwua Agho was named Co-Player of the Week (Harvard's Jeremy Lin) following a week in which he averaged 26.5 ppg in two road wins for the Lions. Agho currently leads the country in three-point percentage (64.4%). And Princeton F Ian Hummer was named Rookie of the Week for his 17-point performance in a win over UNC Greensboro. Named to the Honor Roll were F John Daniels (Columbia) and F Michael Sands (Yale).
MAAC: Two area players were honored by the MAAC. Fairfield F Anthony Johnson was named Co-Player of the Week (Niagara's Tyrone Lewis) while Iona G Kyle Smyth was named Rookie of the Week. Johnson had a pair of double-doubles last week while Smyth led the Gaels to a win over Providence with 21 points.
NEC: Two area players shared the Choice Hotels Player of the Week award on Monday. Sacred Heart G/F Corey Hassan averaged 22.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in a 1-1 week for the Pioneers while Monmouth F Travis Taylor averaged 24.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in a 1-1 week for the Hawks.
Patriot: Army G Cleveland Richard was an Honorable Mention selection on Monday due to his averages of 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in a 2-0 week for the Black Knights.

Saint Peter's at Rutgers 7:30p
Wagner vs. Jackson State 8p (Las Vegas)
Game of the Week: Temple at Seton Hall (December 19th)
This is an intriguing game, especially after the Owls knocked off then-#3 Villanova on Sunday. The Pirates lack a quality non-conference win to this point in the season and this will likely be one of two opportunities (the other being Virginia Tech in Cancun on January 2nd) for them to pick one up. Juan Fernandez, described by fans and media alike as "Pepe Sanchez with a jump shot" lit up the Wildcats to the tune of 33 points and Lavoy Allen is a handful in the frontcourt.
Fran Dunphy's team is one of the nation's best defensive teams according to Ken Pomeroy's stats, ranking 18th in raw defensive efficieny and 11th in adjusted defensive efficiency. They play at a more deliberate tempo while the Pirates will look to ramp things up, and it will be interesting to see how Coach Gonzalez works Keon Lawrence and Jeff Robinson into the fold. To say the least this is a risky matchup in which to tinker with the rotation and possibly team chemistry if all hands aren't on deck.

I love coffee houses because of the calm ambiance and the ultimate chill-out experience you'll have, except for those who are over popular and over populated ones like Starbucks and Café Noriter.
But Café Maru at Gov. M. Cuenco Avenue, Talamban, just across the entrance of Sto. Nino village; is a serene Café, not known much to the public which I liked about and for me their best asset.
With offers that ranges from P120.00-P300.00 that doesn't really differ from other Korean coffee houses, and free charging, either laptop or phone; you will enjoy the serenity in this café.
You can also have fun in putting up post-it notes on the walls, or hang your pictures just like Cafe Noriter's or Sunday 2PM Cafe's.

Like never before, inauguration experienced online
In an inauguration defined by a sense of change, the experience of watching Barack Obama take office was fittingly revolutionary.
AP Entertainment Writer
In an inauguration defined by a sense of change, the experience of watching Barack Obama take office was fittingly revolutionary.
Like never before, Americans watched the inauguration of an incoming president online through live video streaming across their computers. And wholly wrapped up in following Inauguration Day 2009 on the Web was reacting to them - blogging, vlogging and tweeting.
Essentially every major news outlet offered live feeds on their respective Web sites in what was potentially the most Web-driven coverage of a significant news event yet. It was partly out of necessity, since many viewers were at work in front of their computers - and away from TV sets - for the midday swearing in.
It was also a notable benchmark in the fast evolution of online video. At the time of the last inauguration, YouTube didn't even exist.
The major news portals - Yahoo.com, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, AOL News, The New York Times, ABCNews.com, CBSNews.com, FoxNews.com, WashingtonPost.com - all streamed the festivities, some with video embedded right on their home page for the first time.
Akamai Technologies Inc., which delivers Internet video for many Web sites, said the inauguration was a record for them, with 7.7 million people watching video streams at the same time.
So much video meant bandwidth was stretched considerably for many sites and many servers. On the whole, the webcasts appeared to function well, albeit with some lags.
Keynote Systems Inc., which tracks Web site performance, said the Internet's top 40 sites slowed down by as much as 60 percent when the ceremony started at 11 a.m., and many news sites saw even sharper declines in performance.
Many sites streaming the festivities gave four different perspectives on the ceremony, giving the viewer the option of watching the primary feed, the crowd amassed along the Mall or other views. The Associated Press' Online Video Network provided a webcast for many news outlets, including AOL News.
Several outlets looked to combine traditional coverage with new media interactivity.
CNN partnered with Facebook (for users of the social networking site) to include status updates from friends alongside the webcast. The result was that it (kind of) felt like you were watching along with your friends.
As of 3:30 p.m. EST Tuesday, CNN.com said it served more than 21.3 million live streams globally since 6 a.m. That was nearly four times the amount of live streams on the site on Election Day when there were 5.3 million lives streams.
Mimi Wong, a 28-year-old public defender from Brookline, Mass., watched the CNN.com webcast at work with her colleagues.
"It was pretty cool," said Wong. "I was actually kind of surprised that the connection was so good."
Current TV, the user-driven TV network co-founded by Al Gore, likewise combined streaming of the event with Twitter messages or "tweets." Messages from viewers played at the bottom of both Current's broadcast and webcast.
Other webcasts were offered by Hulu.com, C-SPAN.org, Joost.com, Ustream.tv (whose feed was available on iPhones, too) and the Presidential Inauguration Committee itself (http://www.pic2009.org).
But not everyone had a seamless experience watching online.
Lyndsey Lewis, a 22-year-old student at the University of Florida, wanted to catch the inauguration online at her school library before heading to class. She checked the webcasts from numerous sites, including CNN and Hulu but was frustrated by the interruptions.
"There were so many pauses that I missed really crucial moments of the inauguration," said Lewis. "I didn't expect it to be TV quality, but I definitely thought it would be a lot better than it was."
Loath to leave behind his BlackBerry, Obama is easily the most tech-savvy president and the country's first president of the Web 2.0 era.
The inauguration committee offered official inaugural news updates, transportation notices and invitations by cell phone text messages.
"There's just a lively discourse on our Web site," said Linda Douglass, a spokeswoman for the inauguration committee. "It's very satisfying because our goal here is to make people feel connected to the party and to the events in Washington and to their government."
Several sites aimed to let people in on the celebrations in Washington.
The Huffington Post hosted a ball Monday night in Washington that included blogging from attendees, live video on the Web site and photos.
Second Life and Wee World also hosted virtual inaugural balls so that even if you were far away from the festivities, your avatar could be partying the night away.
A number of sites offered bells and whistles to their coverage.
The Washington Post provided satellite imagery of the District of Columbia area and culled a user-generated photo mosaic of Obama through submissions on Flickr.com. (The photo site also began to see pictures pour in Tuesday from Washington and elsewhere, documenting the day.)
YouTube partnered with C-SPAN to gather inaugural addresses from presidencies past. One of YouTube's stars, Obama Girl, streamed her take on the events live on Stickam.com.
MSNBC.com created a video explorer to let users search transcripts of the past 18 inaugural speeches, matching words with the corresponding video. MSNBC.com and CNN.com both touted Microsoft's "photosynth" technology, a 3-D panorama of the inauguration.
"CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric followed the network's prime-time special with an hourlong webcast on cbsnews.com. A more laid-back Couric reported live from the Commander in Chief Ball and apologized if she seemed "a little cuckoo" after being on the air for so long.
A digital transition was also evident at the official site of the president. At noon EST, WhiteHouse.gov unveiled a new design.
It announced: "Change has come to WhiteHouse.gov."

Make my eyes watery, left behind a greasy film, does not take off stubborn mascara well. Now I just use MAC Cleanse-Off Oil, it takes off absolutely EVERYTHING with just one trial.
Removes the stubborn mascara comb product better than others (Chanel, BB, Lancome), but you still need to tug a little. Doesn't bother my sensitive eyes. $16 for 3.4 oz (an ounce shy of what other brands offer, but also costs less than other premium brands). I think I like the NARS e/m remover better.
This is one of the best eye mu remover I have tried. The first is La Prairie, second is this and Bobbi Brown, third is Kose Eye and Lip MU Remover. They are all very mild and removes my eye mu completely. I have very sensitive eyes but this one gives me no problem. I would repurchase for sure.
I was very disappointed with this product. It stung my eyes and made them weep during the night while I slept. It didn't remove the Stephane Marais mascara that well either! The only good thing about this product is the interesting graphics on the packaging. Overall, would not recommend this product.

Kickwatcher alert: Bob Burden's Thrilling Visions Sketchbook #2 is really weird
