OXFORD, Ohio - Three power play goals helped the 5th-ranked Miami University hockey team down No. 16 Northern Michigan, 5-2, Friday night at Steve Cady Arena at the Goggin Ice Center.
The RedHawks, who finished 3-of-8 with the man advantage, remained unbeaten at home (4-0-1) and improved to 6-2-1 overall and 3-2-0-0 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). The Wildcats dropped to 4-4-1 and 1-3-1-0 in league play.
Friday was only the second time this season that Miami scored more than one power play goal in a game. The last time the 'Hawks scored multiple goals with the man advantage was against Colgate Oct. 13. MU also tallied three in the 5-1 win over the Raiders.
"Our special teams were really good," MU head coach Enrico Blasi said. "We executed some good plays. I thought our guys did a good job of playing all three zones."
Sophomore Austin Czarnik, along with freshmen Riley Barber and Matthew Caito, all had multi-point games for Miami. Barber and Czarnik both had a goal and two assists to tie a career high with three points, while Caito had a score and a helper for his first multi-point effort. Sophomore forward Cody Murphy and senior forward Curtis McKenzie rounded out the host's scoring.
Caito struck first on the power play with 9:23 to go in the opening period thanks to a beautiful back-door pass from Barber. The score, which came from the bottom of the right circle, was the first of Caito's career. Barber now leads the team in helpers with eight.
Northern Michigan evened the score on its first shot on goal of the game with 7:29 remaining in the opening period. Standing behind the goal line, junior center Stephan Vigier setup sophomore left wing DJ Vandercook for a quick one-timer from the middle of the left circle. Ryan Daugherty also tallied an assist on the play.
The RedHawks finished the opening period outshooting the Wildcats, 13-4, and held a 36-20 advantage for the game. Miami freshman goalie Jay Williams tallied 18 saves to earn the win.
The RedHawks, on the power play again five minutes into the second stanza, capitalized on a give-and-go to take the lead back. Czarnik fed an open Barber at the top of the right circle, who quickly moved into the bottom of the zone and released a solid wrister stick side, beating NMU goalie Jared Coreau. Caito picked up his assist on the score.
Czarnik and Barber are now tied with a team-high 13 points apiece.
"I think we changed our practices up a little bit," Barber said. "We practiced power play twice this week, instead of once. I think it really helped because we got some good reps and we just came out with the mentality to outwork the penalty kill, so it was great."
Northern Michigan continued to struggle to kill the Miami power play late in the second period. Sophomore center Blake Coleman found classmate Jimmy Mullin, who ripped a shot from the slot. Murphy, waiting near the right post, banged home the rebound to put the hosts up 3-1.
In the final frame, Barber and Czarnik each earned their second assist, as a trailing McKenzie found the back of the net from the slot at the 10:33 mark in the third. After the goal, the Wildcats replaced Coreau with Michael Doan in net. Coreau had 24 saves, while Doan finished with seven.
Czarnik sealed the win with a shorthanded unassisted-breakaway goal with 5:22 left. The top-shelf blast was his team-leading sixth of the season. He has scored all three of Miami's shorthanded goals this year.
Northern Michigan tacked on a late 5-on-3 power play goal to make it 5-2, but by then it was too little, too late. The Wildcats were 1-of-7 on the power play and had 10 penalties for 20 minutes. Miami finished with nine penalties for 18 minutes.
"Tonight we came out as a team," Czarnik said. "Everybody was working from the first shift and it showed out there. We got some good bounces I'd say, and we were able to bury our chances."
The RedHawks go for the sweep of the Wildcats Saturday in the second game of the two-game set. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. at Steve Cady Arena.

(NewsUSA) - It's safe to say neither cats nor dogs give one whisker about whether the products they use are eco-friendly. Yet more pet owners do -- and the pet industry is responding.
The exploding popularity of sustainable living has manifested itself in an increasing number of products being marketed as eco-friendly options for earth-conscious owners of all types of pets. Walk down the aisle of your local grocery store, and you'll see countless bags and boxes whose now-leafy labels boast "green," "natural," or "organic" claims.
However, the definition of "green" remains the subject of much debate. Look no further then cat litter for an example of how the "natural" line is blurred: Clay -- the main ingredient in a large majority of litters -- is often touted as being "natural," but it requires strip-mining and can contain silica dust that carries the potential of damaging the lungs of people and pets. In fact, most cat litters are made out of minerals that can technically be described as "natural," but that doesn't necessarily mean they are sustainable, biodegradable or healthy if ingested or inhaled.
The question you must ask yourself, as a pet owner, is whether the products you choose actually live up to their eco-friendly billing or whether they are using "green-washing" -- a term used to describe how companies use marketing gimmicks to make their product only seem more natural.

GAVIN RICH explains why Rassie Erasmus will give the Springboks a technical edge.
When Rassie Erasmus was appointed by Jake White to work as his technical adviser in 2007, SA Rugby magazine ran a coverline that asked the question: 'Is this the man to win us the World Cup?'
Erasmus never stayed long enough for him to be part of the public adulation that followed the win in Paris more than three and a half years ago. Not long after taking up his position on White's management team, Erasmus was appointed as what was essentially the Western Province director of rugby, Eddie Jones came in as his replacement, and the rest is all well-known history.
What isn't widely known, though, is the contribution Erasmus made behind the scenes while he was involved with the Boks, a period which encompassed that year's Tri-Nations. Springbok players at the time attested to the technical edge that Erasmus brought to the management that had been lacking in the past.
Jones did make a massive impact when he joined the squad. He had coached Australia to the previous World Cup final and boasted an impressive list of achievements on his rugby CV. So his presence had the effect of reinforcing the Boks' confidence in what they were doing.
But as Jones only joined the Boks late in the day when surely most of the preparation for the World Cup had already been done, it is easy to go along with those players who say that Erasmus played a much bigger role in laying the platform than he was given credit for.
Roll the video forward and the same question is now being asked: Is this the man to win us the World Cup? Erasmus wouldn't like being hyped in that way as he knows only too well that not all coaches have his one great strength. More than any top coach in this country and possibly in the world, he doesn't get guided by ego.
Anyone who thinks that Allister Coetzee took over the Stormers coaching reins and turned the team around on his own while Erasmus slunk away to hide in a corner is just ignorant. Coetzee is an excellent coach in his own right and that has enabled Erasmus to become more hands-off at times, such as during last year's Currie Cup when he made the age-group teams his focus.
But he said at the press conference where his shift of position to WP senior professional coach was announced that he would remain in charge of strategy – and that has been the case. During this Super Rugby season, and with both parties having learnt from the mistakes made when he wasn't so hands-on during the Currie Cup play-offs, Erasmus has been back at the coal face in helping devise strategy at the Stormers, just as he was in the 2010 Super 14.
Those interviewed for the 2007 Erasmus article spoke of him as a rugby intellectual who thought about the game 24/7 and was continually analysing, theorising and coming up with innovative ideas. 'Jake can leave all the technical stuff to Rassie and rest easily,' said Naka Drotské.
Four years on, and with Erasmus having now been through the coaching school of hard knocks by making mistakes and then correcting them in the unforgiving and highly demanding Cape rugby environment, it is concerned Springbok rugby supporters who, if not resting easily, should certainly be resting a lot easier than they were.
Assuming the senior players will this year bring the self-discipline and the enforcement of discipline that was lacking during a mostly disastrous 2010 campaign, Erasmus will bring to the Boks precisely what was missing before – tactical and technical expertise, attention to detail, and thorough analysis of trends so that the Boks can react timeously to opposition innovation.
Assistant coach Gary Gold is from a similar technical school to Erasmus, but he has struggled at times to get his voice heard in a coaching group that is generally not into the minutiae of coaching.
The attention to technical detail that has never been head coach Peter de Villiers's strong point is crucial, and last year showed that players who were coaching from inside the scrum didn't have the wide overview that was necessary in order to tap the evolution of the game. So as Erasmus has confirmed he is fulfilling the same role as in 2007, his appointment can be considered a masterstroke which has doubled or even tripled the Boks' chances of winning the World Cup.
Early indications are that a considerably more professional emphasis has been brought to the Bok planning this year, and Erasmus has already been a big part of that as he goes about reinforcing coaching principles and making checks that each unit is on track and focused in the right direction.
'Not a lot differs in the role that I'm taking on now compared to what I did in 2007,' says Erasmus. 'In that Tri-Nations the top players didn't go on the away leg and I worked with those guys for about a month in Cape Town while Jake was away. It will be similar this time, but that will be the only time you should see me on the field doing any kind of coaching.
'My role is as a back-room guy, doing what I really enjoy doing, which is to analyse opposing players, analyse our own players and the contribution they are making, and go into the different aspects that make up rugby to do a proper analysis of what is working and what isn't. I then present it all to the coaches so they can make decisions based on the facts.'
If all goes according to plan, and as everyone knows that is a big 'if' in South African rugby, Erasmus in his stand-in role (he returns to the Stormers after the World Cup) will help take the emotion out of selection and the planning of strategy.
'The reason Peter wants me involved is because in my role with the Stormers I have spent so much time analysing not only our own players' strengths and weaknesses but also those of the other South African teams that we play against.
'I bring a different perspective in that I have coached some of the guys and also coached against many of them. I know what opposition coaches fear about them, I know what weaknesses opposition coaches look to prey on. And it's the same with the overseas players.
'The most important thing is to take emotion out of it. I want to present Peter with the hard facts, and I'm not just talking about statistics here. Statistics only take you so far. What I need to tell Peter and the forwards coach [Gold] is not that Andries Bekker makes this many cleanouts and another player that many, but what they do after the cleanout, how they react after contact … all those things.'
Those last few things mentioned by Erasmus are crucial as the Boks have decided that the World Cup will be decided as much by work rate, which is a cornerstone of the Stormers' almost unbelievable defensive record, as it will by clever kicking and other technical aspects.
Erasmus being the workaholic he is, the Bok coach and his assistants are already being presented with detailed studies and statistics relating to the work rate and the contribution of every Bok playing in Super Rugby. The players will be given all that information at the next planning meeting, where those who are struggling will be told they need to shape up or ship out.
Either way, it will put more science into the selection of the Springbok squad, which Erasmus agrees cannot include any weak links if they are to have any chance of retaining the World Cup.
'Look, the coaches have been in place for three to four years now, most of the players have been around that long, so it would be crazy to try and change too many things. The Boks struggled last year but they beat the British & Irish Lions and dominated the Tri-Nations the year before. So it's not like we are a bad team or the coaches are bad. There have been bad times but there have also been good times.
'I see it as my job to find a measurable way of helping the guys decide what has worked for them and what has not and then, from what has been tried before, settle on a plan based on what has been shown to work.
'I want to help the guys in charge of their specific units – Gary with the defence and the forwards, Dick [Muir] with the backs and Percy [Montgomery] with the kicking game – to identify all the aspects that need to be improved on. I want to help them with analysis.'
How much of what Erasmus offers and how much of it gets left on the cutting table will only be known through the passage of time. But one positive spin-off of Erasmus's involvement and the new approach he has brought with him has been better planning in terms of how the time available should be divided up.
It is no secret that there were times in recent years where the Boks, under the player-driven system, treated some aspects of their game, such as defence, as an after-thought when planning the week – perhaps because before last year's rude awakening it was considered their strength. With Erasmus pinpointing the areas that need attention, that mistake shouldn't be repeated.
The question of the influence Erasmus will have on selection was one of the big provisos that tempered enthusiasm over what difference he could make. He isn't going to be a selector, but if De Villiers wants Erasmus's contribution to be meaningful, his selections will be directed by the 'facts' that come out of Erasmus's analysis.
'I'm not a selector, we have guys who do that job in Mac [Ian McIntosh], Peter Jooste and the coach,' says Erasmus. 'But by allowing me to give them the facts, the hard stuff to work on, we will take emotion away from it and enable them to choose the best guys.'
Again, Erasmus takes care to stress that the facts he refers to are not just statistics, but the analysis that is done behind the stats.
'The stats will tell you a guy has had nine runs and ran 40m, but they won't tell you how he went into the contact, what he did with the ball afterwards and what decisions he made.'
Erasmus is convinced that there is no need for a massive overhaul.
'If you look back at the Springboks over the past three years there have been highs and lows, good team selections and bad team selections, some things have worked and other things haven't.
'All that's needed is for someone to help anticipate what differences changes to law interpretations might make to the way the game is played and to then help decide which is the best strategy to employ in those circumstances. I offer a view on the options that can be available which can then be debated.'

Springbok coach Jake White has a proud unbeaten record on home soil. And he is not about to let that slip against the World XV tomorrow.
"The law of averages will dictate that we will eventually lose at home," White said at Friday's press conference. "But we are working hard to maintain that record for as long as we can. A defeat against the World XV is not an option."
Stand-in captain Jean de Villiers says everything has gone according to plan. "The preparation this week has been very good. Although it is not official, we are approaching this match as if it is a Test. The only thing that has changed is the captain," grinned de Villiers.
The Boks are favourites to beat an experienced, but ageing World XV at Ellis Park tomorrow, which will provide a fantastic launching pad for the more important assignments later this month. Two Tests against Scotland should be easily negotiated, before the crunch June fixture against a full-strength France in Cape Town.
The altitude is also expected to be a major factor for the team that was thumped 46-19 by England last weekend.
The team that runs out at Ellis Park is likely to change dramatically by the time the Boks take on France, especially with several first-choice players due back from injury.
However, the team de Villiers leads out tomorrow has exactly 400 Test caps between them – and they are considered a second-string outfit. When White started his career as Bok coach against Ireland in Bloemfontein in 2004, the team that gave him an opening 31-17 win had just 179 caps.
It illustrates just how far the Boks have come under White's guidance.

GREENVILLE — With what appears to be the toughest part of its schedule in the rearview mirror, East Carolina's football team isn't having a hard time avoiding the urge to look too far ahead.
And nothing makes that easier than an unusually quick turnaround.
The Pirates follow a long game with a short week when they visit Conference USA East Division foe Central Florida today at 8 p.m. in Orlando, Fla.
ECU (3-2, 2-0 C-USA) survived an 80-minute lightning delay and a torrential rainstorm during Saturday's 28-18 home win over Texas-El Paso. The victory kept the Pirates in position to make a run at their first league title since 2009.
Third-year coach Ruffin McNeill said he's had no trouble keeping his players from considering the possibilities beyond today. With a lopsided loss to Maryland in the 2010 Military Bowl and a 5-7 record last season on their resume under McNeill, the players haven't given their coach cause for concern.
"If we had accomplished things back to back or year to year, then I would worry about it," McNeill said. "But we haven't accomplished anything yet as a team."
There is enough work left to be done on both offense and defense to keep the Pirates humble.
With 345.8 yards per game, they rank 100th out of 120 FBS teams in total offense. They come in at 73rd in total defense, allowing 404.6 yards per contest.
But there is reason for hope on both sides of the ball. Sophomore quarterback Shane Carden has evolved in each of his three starts, offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. Junior running back Vintavious Cooper rushed for a career-high 151 yards and a touchdown Saturday, emerging as a potential feature back from a stable of runners.
A young secondary challenged by inexperience and injuries has shown flashes of improvement, picking off three UTEP passes in the fourth quarter alone.
McNeill said he was encouraged by the way Carden handled adversity Saturday.
"Even though he had some tough things, he was very confident," McNeill said. "If you could just have a mic on him in the huddle and see how he operates and his demeanor, everybody could see that. I think you'll just see Shane get better each week. Every game is a learning experience for him."
UCF (2-2, 0-0), meanwhile, has beaten Akron and Florida International and lost to then No. 14 Ohio State and Missouri, the latter a 21-16 home setback on Saturday.
Ninth-year Knights coach George O'Leary said his team has moved on from the Missouri game, in which UCF scored with 4:34 remaining and couldn't complete the comeback.
"I think (the players) took the loss very difficult just like we do any losses," O'Leary said. "But they understand that we have to get back and get ready for our Conference USA first game.
"I tell them everything right now is for the conference championship, and we're playing a team that's 2-0 in conference play that's in our division. So every game is critical as far as our goal is concerned for Conference USA."
Carden, who rushed for a career-high 63 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, said ECU sees it the same way.
"Since the beginning of the season, we've focused on a conference championship," Carden said. "Right now, each week, it's who are we playing next and who's ahead of us next to get to that goal. That's how we approach each week. That's how we approached it in the beginning and that's how we'll approach it the rest of the season."
NOTES: The Pirates lead the series 9-2, including a 3-1 record in Orlando. ... ECU is 1-2 on the road this season. ... Pirates running back Reggie Bullock, who sustained a concussion while returning the opening kickoff against UTEP, will not play today, McNeill said.

Pope Benedict XVI, 85, announced Monday he will resign this month because of his age and health.
It has been more than half a millennium since a pope stepped down from his post, a move that shows humility, said the Rev. Father Frank Cancro of Queen of Apostles Church in Belmont.
"I think this is an example of just how selfless the Holy Father is," said Cancro. "It's clear this is a move that shows just how much he loves the church."
Pope Benedict's legacy
"I think he's been extraordinary, particularly as a teacher," said Placid Solari, abbot of Belmont Abbey and chancellor of Belmont Abbey College. "His writings are very clear. He's been very engaging and humble."
Benedict's teaching background influenced much of what he did. His writings drew images from literature and poetry, Cancro said.
His theological background influenced the way he looked at some realities of faith and how people live in the modern world.
Benedict had to deal with the challenges of the clergy sex abuse scandals and has tried to balance some of the issues that exist with traditionalists Catholics, Cancro said.
The pope also tried to maintain relationships with different governments and religious bodies throughout the world.
"I think he has tried to present the teachings of the church as clearly and articulately as possible," Solari said.
The Sisters of Mercy of Belmont sent out the same statement as the Sisters of Mercy of the
"We honor and respect his decision today and offer our prayer for his health and peace as he prepares to leave the papacy," the statement reads. "We stand in prayer with the whole church as we anticipate the selection of the next pope."
Benedict became pope in April 2005 at the age of 78. He was the oldest pope chosen in nearly 300 years and acknowledged that his strength of mind and body had deteriorated in the last few months, causing him to recognize he was incapable of fulfilling the ministry as leader of the Catholic Church.
What happens next?
The pope's resignation becomes effective at 8 p.m. Feb. 28 in the Vatican.
A council of cardinals will meet within 30 days, Cancro said. Cardinals eligible to vote — those younger than 80 — will decide who will takes over as head of the Catholic Church. Cancro said a new pope could be elected by Easter.
Benedict will then go back to being a cardinal. His name will become Joseph Ratzinger after leaving the papal office.
There's no alarm over this announcement, said Solari.
The pope provided enough time to name a successor and his announcement showed he put careful thought into his decision to step down, he said.

School of Fashion Design and Merchandising News and Events
Kent State to Bestow Honorary Degree to Fashion Empire CEOPosted Mar. 22, 2011
Kent State University will bestow the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters to Leonardo Ferragamo, chief executive officer of Palazzo Feroni Finanziaria S.p.A., a holding company of the shoe and luxury goods dynasty Salvatore Ferragamo of Florence, Italy. The special ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 7, at 5 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Kiva. During the same ceremony, Ferragamo also will be inducted into the university's Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising Hall of Fame for his internationally recognized expertise in the global merchandising of the Salvatore Ferragamo brand of women's footwear, handbags, scarves as well as the men's shoes and clothing line.
The event is free and open to the public. The Kiva auditorium is located in the Kent Student Center at 1075 Risman Drive in Kent, Ohio. Free parking will be available in the visitor parking lot. For more information or to reserve a seat, call 330-672-2760 or email email@example.com. Reservations are not required but are encouraged.
Ferragamo was nominated for an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by Kent State's College of the Arts and the College of Communication and Information, with direct input from the Fashion School, which has a Florence program. In addition to Ferragamo's driving force in organizing and supporting fashion trade in Florence, it was his clear leadership and vision in preserving Florentine culture and arts in Florence which attracted John R. Crawford, dean of the College of the Arts, and Stanley Wearden, dean of the College of Communication and Information, along with Fashion School Director J.R. Campbell to forward his nomination. His direct support to Kent State's Florence campus, Palazzo dei Cerchi, has afforded many enriching, internationally based opportunities for both fashion and communication majors studying a semester in Florence.
The process for awarding the degree begins with nominations from Kent State colleges and academic departments to the institution's Citation and Recognition Committee. Nominees who receive the approval from the committee are then recommended to the Kent State Board of Trustees and Kent State President Lester A. Lefton for approval.
Leonardo Ferragamo entered the family company of Salvatore Ferragamo Italia in 1975 as assistant to the technical director of production.
Since 1919, the Ferragamo Company has been world renowned for its unparalleled design and production of women's footwear, handbags, scarves and accessories, and most of the stars of Hollywood, stage and screen appeared in designs by Ferragamo. In 1970, the Ferragamo Company began producing men's shoes and clothing, which was driven by Leonardo Ferragamo in the 1980s.
Leonardo Ferragamo went on to create and extend the men's wear division, beginning with footwear, then with accessories and clothing. He remained head of the sector until 1987 when he became director of the commercial activity and therefore of Europe, Asia, and subsequently South America markets. He devoted himself mainly to the development and commercialization of the Ferragamo product over those areas, after which he took on the role of chief executive officer of the Europe Asia Division.
Since the beginning of 2000, as CEO of Palazzo Feroni Finanziaria, Leonardo Ferragamo guides the diversified investments of the Ferragamo Group among which he chairs the Lungarno Hotels. He is the honorary chairman of Altagamma, the luxury goods companies association that he has chaired for nine years from 2000-2009, and the Palazzo Strozzi Partners Association whose objective is to support Florence as an important center of international art and culture. He also is adviser of Salvatore Ferragamo Italia and of Ferragamo Finanziaria, the financial holding of the group.
In May 2008, Leonardo Ferragamo received the title of Honorary Member of the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence. Kent State's honorary degree will be the first American honorary degree received by Leonardo Ferragamo.
The induction of Leonardo Ferragamo into the Kent State Fashion School's Hall of Fame was based on his continued pursuance of his family's legacy in designing and producing luxury market footwear, clothing, accessories, handbags, eyewear and timepieces worldwide. Moreover, he has contributed greatly to the development of arts and culture in Florence, Italy, and has sponsored some of the key fashion exhibitions there, including Pitti Immagine.
The Kent State Fashion School Hall of Fame includes other significant individuals, such as Oscar de la Renta, Anna Sui, Estée Lauder, Judith Leiber, Cynthia Rowley, Michael Weiss, Ralph Rucci and Kent State alumna Linda Allard.

HARLOWE — A fire leveled an eastern Craven County home on Tuesday, but no one was injured.
Little remains of the one-story home at 890 Smith Farm Road, which is off Adams Creek Road. Two people in the home at the time of the fire escaped with their dog.
"They were inside their home when they noticed smoke coming around the corner," said Ira Whitford, Craven County fire marshal and assistant emergency services director. "They went outside and noticed their garage was on fire. The homeowner tried to extinguish it with a fire extinguisher, but it was too late."
Whitford said the fire started in the garage shortly before 3 p.m. He said by the time firefighters arrived, the fire had spread to the house.
"When the first units arrived, the garage was fully engulfed and it had spread to the house," Whitford said. "It was just the intensity of it. It was fully involved."
Whitford said the homeowner kept some gun powder in the garage to reload bullets, but said that did not create any hardship for the firefighters from Harlowe, Havelock, Mill Creek and Township Six who responded.
He did not pinpoint the gun powder as a possible cause of the fire.
"The cause has not been determined," Whitford said, describing the damage to the home as significant. "All that will come in the investigation, but there's nothing suspicious about it."
Whitford said the couple living in the home lost nearly everything and was offered help through the Red Cross.
The home was down a narrow dirt road, and one of the Havelock fire trucks responding to the scene ended up stuck in a ditch. Havelock Fire Chief Rick Zaccardelli said the truck did have some damage.
"It got caught in a rut and ran off the road," he said.
Zaccardelli said he did not have an estimated cost of the damage to the truck.

The expansion of Blue&Me TomTom into the US market follows successful Fiat vehicles launches with TomTom across Europe and is the first time the system is available for customers in North America.
Drivers will benefit from the system's flexibility, easy updates available through the online portal MyTomTom and a range of software personalisation features, such as start-up screens and car symbols.

Additional display functions include media player, phone management and Eco-drive, which tells drivers when they are driving in a fuel efficient manner and suggests when to change gear for greater efficiency. With TomTom IQ Routes™, the device will evaluate all route options based on actual historical traffic speeds rather than posted speed limits, and will recommend the fastest route for the time of day. Also, drivers can register their TomTom device via myTomTom to access additional content such as map updates and services.

After the November 2004 election, the figures for Congress stood at:
House of Representatives:
Democrats: 202 (loss of 4 seats)
Republicans: 232 (gain of 4 seats)
Independents: 1 (same)
Democrat: 44 (loss of 4 seats)
Republicans: 55 (gain of 4 seats)
Independents: 1 (same)
The new Congress sat as from January 2005.
Though, on paper, this gives the impression that the Republicans reign supreme in Washington (including 7 out of 9 Supreme Court judges being appointed by a Republican president), this would be a false impression. Congress is fiercely independent of the Oval Office and steadfastly supports separation of power and a checks and balance system. Therefore, it (Congress) must not be seen as being merely a poodle to G W Bush it will almost certainly stand its ground when it believes it should do so. The first main test will be the presidential budget. However, as all of the House will be up for election again in 2006 and 1/3rd of the Senate, in this hour of need within America (a nation at war etc), the president will have the upper hand and the immediate buzz in Washington is that this Congress might be more compliant to the Oval Office than in the past especially as the 4 newly elected Republican Senators may well have owed their success to clinging to the coat tails of the president.
Clinging to the coat tails is an American expression whereby Congressmen win election to the House/Senate because of the popularity of the president and the party he represents i.e. there is a knock on effect.

Even though we thank Sam Harris for turning over some tables in the temple, his comment below seems to stop a little short in way of expressing a specific solution, since it invites the need, to address a whole other set of questions. (important ones, no less)
Sam Harris-Rather than bring the full force of our creativity and rationality to bear on the problems of ethics, social cohesion, and even spiritual experience…
Few questions, to start.
1. Who are "the our?"
2. What about the subjectivity issue, concerning creativity?
3. Who has the final say, in what's accepted?
4. On what-who's base, is rationality defined?
5. On what-who's base, are ethics, defined?
You fine, intelligent posters, add to the list, as needed.
Curious, did that comment "catch" anyone else's attention?

KENT, Ohio--Miami University's men's basketball team dropped an 87-70 decision at Kent State on Wednesday evening. Junior guard Allen Roberts paced the RedHawks with 16 points, while freshman guard Geovonie McKnight recorded a career-high 12 points and junior forward Will Felder chipped in 10.
The RedHawks fall to 8-15 overall and 3-8 in Mid-American Conference play. The Golden Flashes improve to 14-11 overall and 5-6 in MAC action.
Sophomore guard Will Sullivan drained a 3-pointer at the 19:41 mark of the first half to put the RedHawks up 3-0, but the Golden Flashes scored six unanswered points and never looked back. Kent State extended its lead to 10 at the 9:33 mark, 27-17. Aided by five points from junior guard Josh Sewell, Miami closed the gap to four points, 30-26, with 6:00 to go in the opening half.
The Golden Flashes went on an 18-6 flurry over the final minutes of the first stanza to take a 48-32 lead into the half. Four of the RedHawks' six points came in the final 1:01 as Roberts tossed in a layup with just over a minute to play and junior center Drew McGhee chipped in a layup as time expired to cut the RedHawk deficit to 16 points.
Kent State pushed its lead to 19 early in the second half until a 5-0 spurt off a pair of Roberts free throws and a triple from Roberts shrunk the gap to 14 points with 13:52 to go, 58-44. The Golden Flashes led by as many as 25 in the second half and cruised to the 17-point win.
KSU's Chris Evans led all players with 22 points, 13 rebounds and four steals, while four other Golden Flashes scored in double figures.
Miami returns to action Saturday, Feb. 16 when the RedHawks host Buffalo in the second game of a women's and men's basketball doubleheader. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and has been moved back a half an hour for television. The game will be aired state-wide on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.
Saturday's doubleheader is a McFamily and Friends Day with an exciting ticket package that includes four game tickets--which gain entrance to BOTH the men's and women's games--and four McDonald's Extra Value Meal vouchers for just $44. These ticket packages are not available on game day and must be pre-purchased by visiting or calling the Miami Athletics Ticket Office at 513-529-4295, emailing email@example.com or clicking HERE.
Because Saturday is a doubleheader, only men's ticket pricing is available for single-game tickets and will gain patrons entrance to both games. Prices are $20 for reserved tickets and $18 for general admission. No women's standard single-game ticket prices are available.

Results vs. St. Andrews(CVAC Tour.) (2006-10-25 14:00:00)
October 25, 2006
|Men's Soccer Loses in OT, 2-1
|Wednesday, 25 October 2006
LAURINBURG, N.C.-Sophomore midfielder Justin Garton scored both Knights goals including the game-winning penalty kick in the first overtime to advance No. 4 seed St. Andrews Presbyterian College past visiting No. 5 seed Pfeiffer University in quarterfinals of the 2006 CVAC Men's Soccer Tournament on Wednesday.The Falcons, who end their season 8-8-0, took a one-goal lead in the first half on a junior midfielder Cihan Nuhoglu goal.
Nuhoglu dribbled into the SAPC box, beat a defender, and then drilled a shot inside the near post at the 24:02 mark.
Pfeiffer carried the 1-0 advantage into the second half until Garton struck in the 54th minute. Sophomore defender Jamin Ferris served a long pass to Garton inside the Pfeiffer box. After making a nice trap and turn, Garton booted the tying goal just under the crossbar.
The game remained deadlocked at one apiece for the final 36 minutes of regulation and the next six-plus minutes of the first overtime until freshman Brendan Greehy was yellow carded in the 97th minute for taking down a St. Andrews player inside box.
On the ensuing restart, Garton ripped the penalty kick into the middle of the Pfeiffer net as freshman goalie John Britt was diving.
The Falcons had a 12-8 shot advantage but sophomore netminder Nick Stevens made seven saves allowing St. Andrews to make the come-from-behind victory. Britt finished with three saves for Pfeiffer.

Model Rafael Lazzini Has Us All Tongue-Tied – The Daily Swoon
Brazil really knows how to make 'em, if model Rafael Lazzini is any indication. That's one gene pool we wouldn't mind getting mixed up with.
He's incredibly sexy and has that magical ability to sport a consistent five o'clock shadow. He also looks good in like, any outfit you put him in because, duh, he's a model and that's his job. Sweaters? Sexy. Deck shoes and khaki shorts? Sexy. Leather pants and vest with eyeliner? Sexy. Models are like living Ken dolls: Dress them up and they always look great.
But unlike Ken dolls, they probably don't look weird when you take their clothes off. At least I hope. Is there something the modeling industry isn't telling us? I'm scared.
Anyway, Rafael Lazzini is a beautiful Brazilian dude who's done a lot of catalog work for Richards Brazil, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and others. He's also an artist, and you can check out some of his colorful street art-style work on his official art page.
So we know he's pretty and he has a brain and hopes and dreams like the rest of us — so no, he was not made in the model factory. Or was he?

Familial hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition that causes abnormally high levels of LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol beginning at birth. When too much LDL cholesterol is present in the blood stream, it builds up in the walls of the arteries and increases the risk of heart attacks and heart disease. Men with FH may have heart attacks in their 40s to 50s, and women with FH may have them in their 50s to 60s.[1] FH is most commonly caused by mutations in the LDLR gene and is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. More rarely, it may be caused by mutations in other genes and can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[2] Treatment focuses on lowering LDL cholesterol levels in the blood and may include dietary modification and medication.[1]

Stuart Lancaster has beaten Nick Mallett to the England post.
The Rugby Football Union board met on Thursday morning to ratify the decision. Mallett, the former Springbok and Italy coach, was told on Wednesday morning that his application was unsuccessful.
RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie put forward Lancaster's name to the board for final approval. Lancaster and Mallett were interviewed last Thursday, but it is thought Lancaster's all-round performance in the Six Nations (England won four of five matches) swayed the decision his way.
'I am immensely honoured and proud to accept this role,' said Lancaster, who will hold the position until after the 2015 World Cup. 'We have a massive task ahead of us in South Africa and we have 37 games before that first World Cup match on home soil, so every second counts in developing players who can win that tournament – which has to be the ultimate aim.'
Forwards coach Graham Rowntree is expected to remain part of Lancaster's team but it is not known whether Andy Farrell will be released by his club, Saracens.
According to the BBC website, the players all backed the decision to retain Lancaster after the Six Nations.
'We spoke to him at the end [of the Six Nations] and I think he was absolutely exhausted because he left no stone unturned in terms of creating an environment and an atmosphere that was akin to a club,' said loose forward Phil Dowson.
England will play South Africa in the first of three Tests in Durban on 9 June. The subsequent matches will be played in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.

Baja Designs Strykr SL Pro Review
This year, the Strykr is called the Strykr II and the output has increased from 700 claimed lumens to 950. On our light meter, the reading has increased from 52 lux to 74 lux so it is noticeably brighter. We measured the light though at an integrating sphere and the actual lumen output is 670 lumens. The head unit is big and made of very sturdy aluminum with the front rim protected by a rubber casing. The battery is nicely sealed as well as this light seems ready to take on the roughest conditions.Continue reading →

Date Reviewed: May 29, 2012
Strengths: Materials and workmanship, mounting options, optional reflector, solid battery, smart charger, weight.
Weaknesses: I only got one.
Bottom Line:
I use this light predominantly on my helmet. Running it at medium is a good balance with my seca 800 on high. I have had the opportunity to run it 3 times so far and have noticed several positives over my legacy SB2 and HID lights. First, it is noticeably lighter weight, and compared to the HID it is a much lower profile. I also prefer the mounting methodology -vs- legacy systems, it is very quick and easy.
On the trail it does not move around and does not cause my helmet to move around as well. I haven't tried the alternate reflector as I am quite happy with the sphere of light the lamp currently produces. The light seems pretty even throughout the beam and has a hotspot in the center for seeing a bit further down the trail.
I have not had the opportunity to test the run-time on the system, however for the 2 hours or so that I've been out, I haven't had a single issue.
Quality wise, the manufacturing is top notch. It is a very robust unit and seems much more solid than my Seca, which feels, aside from the heat sink, to be made entirely of plastic.

Weaknesses: None so far- improved design from the original Strykr
Bottom Line:
The new designed light has fixed the issues I had with the original. The SL has a trick o-ring mounting system (similar to other brands) for handlebars and helmet included which brought the light to a 10 for me and having the two reflectors- wide and narrow beam is great.
The light is bright and works well with my older Strykr which is on my handlebar, the two lights are perfect for when I get to the fast downhill sections. Baja Designs Forever!!

I just want to extend a big thanks to everybody that participates here. I don't post much but I read a lot. I'm not the most diligent Buddhist, but hey, I'm on my own path and working it out. This site really helps to ground me. I participate on a offroad forum that is populated by some pretty opinionated people who have no problem sharing exactly how they feel about you and your posts - I used to get into it with them, tossing the jabs back in their face, pointing out none too politely where there logic is flawed and generally contributing to the unhappiness there. After finding this site, doing some more meditating and reading, I am finally able to shed the hostility and not respond in kind.
No big deal, no epiphanies, no enlightenment (yet), but I am grateful. Thank you ALL.

WILMINGTON -- Two packages detonated by authorities Thursday at a storage facility near Monkey Junction were explosive devices, Sgt. Jerry Brewer of the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office confirmed about
The FBI was at the storage unit as part of an ongoing investigation, he said.
The first device, which exploded about in an area behind North State Storage,
The explosion was caused when a robot fired a water cannon at a suspicious device removed from a storage unit, he said.
"When they shot it and it exploded, it was not something they were expecting," Brewer said.
The second device was detonated shortly after , resulting in a loud boom and a cloud of dust. That device also had been taken to the rear of the storage facility, which fronts Carolina Beach Road, where it was buried about 2 and a half feet deep and covered in sandbags before it was detonated, Brewer said.
He said investigators were preparing to return to the storage unit to remove more suspicious packages and likely would work through the night.
The storage unit where the device was located is at the front of the facility nearest
Businesses in the area of the storage facility have been evacuated, Brewer said.
He said it wasn't clear if anyone had been arrested or what the FBI investigation concerned.
Shelley Lynch, a spokeswoman for the
"We are handling the
Lynch said neither the SBI nor the FBI will be "releasing any information regarding the investigation connected to those scenes."
Neighbors reported hearing an explosion and seeing a plume of white smoke in the storage facility about .
Ronda Batterson, owner of Gossip Salon in S&P Town Center, said a law enforcement officer came into her shop Thursday morning to tell her authorities believed somebody was building bombs in a storage unit next door and one of the bombs exploded. The officer told her other bombs were in the unit.
Batterson said the officer told her somebody was in custody.
Jackie Oakes, owner of Coastal K9 Bakery, immediately next door to North State Storage, said law enforcement had been at the facility all morning and were there when something exploded.
"It rocked us," Oakes said. "We heard it and then there was a big cloud of white smoke."
Paul Hockaday of
"I looked over toward the back of the storage facility," he said. A big, white plume of smoke was rising from the area, he said. Hockaday said he continued on his way to lunch after the incident.
A Wilmington Police Department bomb squad vehicle was at the storage facility, along with vehicles from the sheriff's office and SBI.
John Weigle, president of the Eilweg Co. of Durham, managers of the storage facility, said he didn't know who had rented the unit where the devices were located. He said he would reserve further comment until after speaking with law enforcement officials.

Offensive woes appeared again for the New Bern Bears softball team Friday in a 4-1 loss to Mideastern Conference opponent New Hanover.
The Bears managed just two hits for the game and scored their only run, in large part due to a Wildcat error.
"We just have to get back to working on hitting," New Bern coach Sara Harrison said. "We've got to pull together and believe in ourselves again first and get back to playing as a team like we were."
Mary Lyons started on the mound for the Bears and allowed all four runs over 1 2/3 innings pitched and got the loss for New Bern.
Kristen Daughtridge came in relief of Lyons and kept the Wildcats scoreless the rest of the way.
Mary Grace Lee drove in the Bears' lone run with a sac-fly that scored Lexi Smith.
"Kristen (Daughtridge) pitched really well tonight, but we started Mary (Lyons) because Kristen had pitched last night and we wanted to try and save her a little bit," Harrison said.
The biggest hit of the game came off the bat of Wildcats' shortstop Alex Simmons.
Simmons belted a no-doubt-about-it home run to right field off Lyons in the top of the first that bounced off a black vehicle on the side of the street.
The Wildcats added two more in the second off three base hits and two New Bern errors.
"We have to work on our fielding some more too, along with hitting," Harrison said. "We are going to have to fight for the playoffs and conference position from here out."
The loss drops New Bern to 8-12 overall and 2-4 in the Mideastern Conference.
For New Hanover, the Wildcats improve to 3-10 and 1-5.
