Islamophobia, Discrimination, and National Security
In the past two months, a presidential candidate called for the profiling of Muslims, a Tennessee lawmaker told Muslims to "go back to where they came from," and a large home improvement store pulled ads from a television show ostensibly because it didn't portray Muslims in a negative light. How do these acts influence cases of discrimination? What have they to do with our nation's national security policies?

When Good Eggs Go Bad--Because Sometimes Even Chromosomes Aren't Perfect
Life in all higher animals, including humans, begins with the egg. Formation of this highly specialized cell involves many processes that are fundamental for development into adulthood. In one particular process, meiosis, the chromosomes are partitioned so that the egg receives precisely one chromosome from each of the 23 pairs. Hundreds of genes are known to play vital roles in this process, and understanding how they function together with the chromosomes has profound relevance to conditions such as birth defects and cancer.
R. Scott Hawley, American Cancer Society Research Professor at the Stowers Institute, will present some of his most important findings from work in model organisms on what he calls the 'meiotic dance,' an orchestration of chromosome interactions among themselves and with the meiotic gene products that govern how they behave in the egg, and what we can learn when these meiotic genes fail to function.
Dr. Hawley is a world-renowned expert in chromosome biology and meiosis, and is regarded as one of the premier speakers and teachers in the biological sciences. He received a B.S. from the University of California at Riverside, and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington where he trained with the pioneer geneticist, Prof. Larry Sandler. He was a Helen Hay Whitney postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia. He held faculty positions at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the University of California at Davis before moving to the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in 2001. Additionally, Dr. Hawley has served as the president of the Genetics Society of America and has won several national awards for excellence in teaching. In 2011 Dr. Hawley was inducted into the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Stephen D. Smith is Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education. Stephen founded the UK Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire, England and cofounded the Aegis Trust for the prevention of crimes against humanity and genocide. He was also the inaugural Chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, which runs the National Holocaust Memorial Day in the United Kingdom. In 2009, Holocaust Memorial Day included over five hundred public memorial events. His Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Center for Human Rights Leadership at CMC.
Stephen is involved in memorial projects around the world. He was the project director responsible for the creation of the Kigali Memorial Centre in Rwanda and provided consultation for the Cape Town Holocaust Centre, where he still serves as a trustee.
Smith is a theologian by training with a particular interest in the impact of the Holocaust on religious and philosophical thought and practice. He wrote his dissertation on the "Trajectory of Memory," examining how Holocaust survivor narrative — and in particular, visual history — has developed over time and shapes the way in which the implications of the Holocaust are understood.
Stephen is an international speaker, lecturing widely on issues relating to the history and collective response to the Holocaust, genocide, and crimes against humanity. His publications include Making Memory: Creating Britain's First Holocaust Centre (2002); Forgotten Places: The Holocaust and the Remnants of Destruction (2001); and The Holocaust and the Christian World (2000). He has taught extensively in Lithuania and has been a member of the International Task Force for Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research since its inception in 1998.
In recognition of his work, Stephen has become a Member of the Order of the British Empire and received the Interfaith Gold Medallion, the Andrew Cross Award for religious broadcasting, and Honorary Doctorate of Law from Leicester University.
Stephen Smith is committed to making the testimony of survivors of the Holocaust and of other crimes against humanity a compell
Reading Reservations: Writing (and Living) Rez Life
Celebrated novelist David Treuer has gained a reputation for writing that expands the horizons of Native American literature and life. From op-eds in The New York Times to travel pieces at Slate.com, from book reviews for the Washington Post to his own fiction and essays, Treuer has, for the last 20 years, asked readers to forget what they think they know about Indians and Indian lives, and to see things differently. Now in Rez Life, his first full-length work of nonfiction, Treuer brings a novelist's storytelling skill and an eye for detail to a complex and subtle examination of Native American reservation life, past and present.
With authoritative research and reportage, Treuer illuminates misunderstood contemporary issues of sovereignty, treaty rights, and natural-resource conservation. He traces the convoluted waves of public policy that have deracinated, disenfranchised, and exploited Native Americans, exposing the tension and conflict that has marked the historical relationship between the United States government and the Native American population. Through the eyes of students, teachers, government administrators, lawyers, and tribal court judges, he shows how casinos, tribal government, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have transformed the landscape of Native American life.
In his Athenaeum talk, Treuer will speak about the seven year struggle to write Rez Life: An Indian's Journey Through Reservation Life (2012); the first major work of nonfiction by an American Indian author about reservations and their place in the larger fabric of America. Not content to do what's been done before, Treuer takes his own experience and his own research and tries to use it move beyond the "tragic script": beyond the ways in which Native American lives have often been understood as, by definition, tragic and Indians themselves, as victims.
A member of the Ojibwe of northern Minnesota, Treuer grew up on the Leech Lake Reservation, but was educated in mainstream America. Treuer traverses the boundaries of American and Indian identity as he explores crime and poverty, casinos and wealth, and the preservation of his native language and culture. Rez Life is a strikingly original work of history and reportage, a must read for anyone interested in the Native American story.
David Treuer is the former Mary Routt Chair of Creative Writing at Scripps College. His work has appeared in The New York T
Women & Leadership Alliance Workshop
Nobody Wants To Be a Leaderette
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Your leadership potential was a significant factor in why you ended up at CMC. Having teachers and classmates help you explore what kind of leader you can be, and how you can develop that potential, is an essential part of life at CMC. But whether you think leadership is gender neutral or you think having a female perspective is helpful, the prejorative implications of being a leaderette make us all laugh. Or get angry. Or worry about how to navigate something so subtle, relative, and that we thought was a non-issue in this century?
So if you don't want to be a Leaderette, what kind of leader do you want to be?
Join this fun lunch for a Socratic approach to thinking about your future. Jennifer Waggoner's life in leadership after CMC will shape the conversation, ranging from: networking and mentorship, to life choices, to leading change in teams, businesses, and across cities, states, and the world.
Jennifer Waggoner currently serves as President of the League of Women Voters of California, one of the oldest and most trusted grassroots education and advocacy organizations in our state. She earned her B.A. from Claremont McKenna (Government '95) and her Diploma (Social Policy '98) from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, United Kingdom. Because of her experience as a Community Service Grant recipient while a junior at CMC, she became interested in pursuing social good across sectors (not being limited by ideas of "non-profit" or "for-profit"). She started her first business soon after graduating from CMC: a multi-media arts production company focusing on grassroots all-ages activism in Seattle. She has led her own consulting business for the past 5 years providing operations, communications, and finance support to a wide variety of nonprofits and socially-motivated small businesses. In November, she was recognized as a "Forward Thinker" by California Forward.
At the Tipping Point: The Future of Philanthropy
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Daniel Lurie is the CEO and Founder of the Tipping Point Community. Named after Malcolm Gladwell's notion that a few passionate people with vision can spark a major change, the Tipping Point Community works to find the most-effective means of reducing poverty by extending grants to nonprofits in the Bay Area and providing management assistance to ensure grantees succeed. This management assistance takes the form of everything from legal expertise to communications training to strategic planning in order to maximize the impact of charitable investments. Remarkably, each year the board underwrites all of its own operating and fundraising costs so that of every dollar of donation goes directly to a poverty-fighting organization. Since 2005, Tipping Point Community has raised more than $38 million to educate, employ, house and support nearly 150,000 people in the Bay Area.
Lurie earned his B.A. in Political Science from Duke University and received his Masters in Public Policy from the Goldman School at U.C. Berkeley. Lurie also serves on the Board of Directors of Single Stop USA, Mimi and Peter Haas Fund, and the Levi Straus Foundation.
Daniel Lurie's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement at Claremont McKenna College.

Whither Food Security—The Food Insecure Poor: What Future Awaits Them?
Barry Riley is a visiting scholar in the Center on Food Security and the Environment at the Freeman Spogli Institute (FSI) for International Studies at Stanford University. Previously he worked for more than 20 years with The U.S. Agency for International Development, mostly in Eastern and Northeastern Africa. While serving in that region he witnessed firsthand the devastating 1973 drought in Ethiopia and, ten years later, the so-called "drought of the Century" in Kenya where he was appointed by the U.S. Ambassador to coordinate the U.S. response to that event. Subsequently, he served as Director of USAID's Office of Policy, Management and Evaluation dealing with food aid and voluntary assistance globally. He moved to the World Bank in the late 1980s, serving as a Sr. Projects Officer in the Africa Region's Food Security Unit - focused on food security analysis, policy and evaluation for countries in Southern Africa.
From 1993-2009 he was a private consultant on issues of food security, food policy and food aid and undertook more than 50 consultancies for the World Bank, several U.N. agencies and numerous non-governmental organizations and consulting firms. In recent years, he has led or participated in a number of evaluations for the World Food Program, most often in Ethiopia. These have focused on issues of more relevant and timely early warning, more programmatically useful vulnerability assessments, and improving the sustained effectiveness of food aid used in support of longer term food security objectives.
While at FSI he is undertaking to encapsulate these experiences in a book on U.S. Food Aid and its relationships with food security. He is the co-author of The Development Effectiveness of Food Aid- Does Tying Matter? (2006) for OECD/DAC and of numerous reports to WFP, the World Bank and the U.S. government on food aid and food security.

Social Democracy and the Creation of Modern Europe
During the 19th and first half of the 20th century Europe was the most turbulent region on earth, convulsed by war, economic crises and social and political conflict. Yet during the second half of the 20th century it was among the most stable, a study in democracy, social harmony and prosperity. How can we understand this remarkable transformation? The answer lies in the changes that occurred after 1945, among the most important of which was a dramatic shift in the understanding of what it would take to ensure democratic consolidation in Europe. Across the political spectrum a new understanding of democracy developed in Western Europe one that went beyond what think of today as "electoral" or even "liberal" democracy to what is best understood as "social democracy" — a regime type which entails not merely dramatic changes in political arrangements, but in social and economic ones as well. This talk will explain the background and logic of this "regime type" as well as consider its continuing relevance today.
Sheri Berman is Professor and Chair of the political science department of Barnard College. She is the author, most recently, of The Primacy of Politics: Social Democracy and the Making of Interwar Europe (2006) and has written widely on European politics, political development and the history of the left for both academic and non-academic publicatons. She is currently working on a project entitled "Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe" which investigates the development of different types of political regimes in Europe from the French revolution to the collapse of come Euro crisis and the future of social democracy in Europe.
Sheri Berman's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

Search for fugitive ex-cop sets region on edge
Monday - 2/11/2013, 3:38am EST
Associated Press
IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- Police blocked off a street and stood guard in front of a home in a typically quiet Southern California suburb Sunday, protecting a man they believe has been targeted by a fugitive ex-police officer suspected of killing three people and setting the region on edge by eluding authorities in a sprawling manhunt that has lasted days.
Irvine residents, meanwhile, were left to adjust to life in the midst of a heavy police presence and wonder when things might return to normal.
Authorities have been working to protect dozens of families in the area considered targets based on Christopher Dorner's Facebook rant against those he held responsible for ending his career with the Los Angeles Police Department five years ago.
Among those the 33-year-old Dorner is suspected of killing is a Riverside police officer, and on the fourth day of the manhunt, authorities put up a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture.
"We will not tolerate this reign of terror," said LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Several tips came in within a few hours after the award announcement, including a reported Dorner sighting that had police surrounding and evacuating a Lowe's Home Improvement store in LA's San Fernando Valley, police spokesman Gus Villanueva said. A search of the store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there.
After days without resolution, Dorner's fugitive status caused concern among some and downright fear among others in Irvine, an upscale community that the FBI consistently ranks among the safest cities in the U.S.
"If he did come around this corner, what could happen? We're in the crossfire, with the cops right there," said Irvine resident Joe Palacio, who lives down the street from the home surrounded by authorities protecting a police captain mentioned in Dorner's posting.
"I do think about where I would put my family," he said. "Would we call 911? Would we hide in the closet?"
The neighborhood has been flooded with authorities since Wednesday. Residents have seen police helicopters circle and cruisers stake out schools. Some have responded by keeping their children home. Others no longer walk their dogs at night.
Dorner's background added to the anxiety. The former LAPD officer also served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and a pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. In his online post, Dorner vowed to use "every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training I've been given" to bring "warfare" to the LAPD and its families.
As tense Irvine residents went on with their lives, police looked into a taunting phone call to the father of the woman they believe Dorner killed last week.
Two law enforcement officers who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation told The Associated Press they are trying to determine whether Dorner made the call telling retired police Capt. Randal Quan that he should have done a better job protecting his daughter.
The bodies of Monica Quan and her fiance were found shot dead last Sunday in Irvine, marking the start of the high-profile case.
Things escalated early Thursday morning, when police say Dorner got into a shootout with police in Corona, grazing an LAPD officer's head with a bullet before escaping. Authorities believe he then used a rifle to ambush two Riverside police officers, killing one and seriously wounding the other.
About 65 miles away, the manhunt continued in the San Bernardino mountains near the ski resort town of Big Bear, where authorities found Dorner's burned out pickup truck Thursday. Police have since said they discovered weapons and camping gear inside the vehicle.
The search scaled down as the weekend went on, but a helicopter with heat-seeking technology scanned the area as two-dozen officers went back to some of the 600 cabins they earlier visited door to door.
With little apparent evidence pointing to Dorner's whereabouts, worrisome questions emerged: How long could the intense search be sustained? And, if Dorner continues to evade capture, how do authorities protect dozens of former police colleagues whom he has publicly targeted?
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the department has deployed 50 protection details to guard officers and their families who are deemed targets in Dorner's manifesto.
"It can't be one guy with a gun in a living room," Smith said, suggesting that more officers would be necessary to keep families safe.
The department, however, is looking for alternatives if the search for Dorner stretches on, whether it's reducing the numbers of officers or something else, he said.

Vitamins and the Health of your Heart
Can consuming vitamins assist in preventing heart disease or perhaps a heart attack?
Regardless of preliminary enthusiasm, there isn't any proof that vitamins reduce the potential for heart disease, and, in reality, some vitamins happen to be connected with an elevated chance of death.
Despite the fact that previous research recommended that particular vitamins, like vitamins C and E, might lower your heart disease possibility, bigger clinical studies have never proven an advantage. The American Heart Association does not suggest using vitamin C and E dietary supplements in order to avoid heart disease.
Additionally, there are some proof of a connection among low blood levels of vitamin D and heart disease, however, a lot more scientific studies are required. Speak to your doctor if you are worried about your vitamin D level. A lot of people who are usually healthy and acquire the vitamins and minerals they require from their diets don't have to require a daily vitamin. In case you are worried about your nourishment, talk with your physician about whether or not going for a daily vitamin may well be a wise decision to suit your needs.
Our bodies require essential fatty acids to thrive and is also capable of making basically a pair of them: linoleic acid (LA), within the omega-6 family, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) inside the omega-3 family. Both of these essential fatty acids has to be provided by the diet and are consequently regarded as fatty acids.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids, seen in coldwater seafood (and fish oil), perilla and flax seed natural oils, are crucial aspects of a proper diet. Omega-3 oils include EPA and DHA, which can be generally without the normal Western diet, which can be filled up with meals that contains high levels of omega-6 fats.97 EPA and DHA could be produced in your body from ALA, but EPA and DHA functionality might be inadequate under particular circumstances and for many people that ingest Western diets.
Life Extension's Super Omega-3 is a high quality, scientifically-validated omega-3 fatty acids concentrate, produced from eco friendly resources, which contains an exclusive, full-spectrum mixture of complete vitamins and minerals to supply clinically confirmed cardioprotective health advantages. Life Extension coupons offer big discounts for their customers.

Friends have been coming out of the woodwork lately on Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' 2012 European Tour.
First we ran into Lenny Kravitz in Oslo. London was a star-studded affair both offstage and on, with Steve Winwood sitting in with the band for the second night. Amsterdam proved to be just as special as the others as Eddie Vedder showed up a night before Pearl Jam was slated for the Ziggo Dome.
Ed's love of Tom and the band is well-documented in countless interviews and serves as one of the highlights of "Runnin' Down A Dream," the band's documentary directed by Peter Bogdonavich.
In it, Eddie brings the house down singing "The Waiting," and the version played Sunday night at a jam-packed Heneiken Music Hall was just as good.
Smiles were aplenty across the stage after Tom introduced the band and then welcomed Eddie out. Mike Campbell launched into the iconic guitar riff, and Eddie hopped right up to the microphone. delivering a stunning performance of the Hard Promises hit that propelled the band for the rest of the night.
After hugging Tom and walking offstage, Eddie settled in sidestage, eyes glued to the band like the fan that he is.
Oh, and did I mention Jack White was also in the house? He came out to catch the gig on his day off before playing the very same venue the next day.
Cologne, get ready! Check back for more for the 2012 Summer Tour.

Tough to find genuine eggcorns through google due to hundreds of people using the term jokingly, but true eggcornations of this phrase are out there!
An image of a Far Side cartoon, featuring dogs and Toilet Trees, keeps popping into my head. I don't know if there is such a cartoon but it isn't difficult to imagine one.
I recently have seen a couple of examples of this (not on the web, but written communication). I think it should be in the database, but doesn't seem to be there.
Dunno. It's hard to see the image transference that would make it an eggcorn.
Excellent! And much more transparent in its eggcornish meaning, for me at least, than toilet trees.

The Miami RedHawks men's swimming team looked impressive in their home opener against Xavier, winning 130-125 at Nixon Aquatic Center.
The final score doesn't accurately reflect the men's performance as they won nine of 15 events including the first five of the day.
The RedHawks displayed not only their team talent, but the promising freshman who accounted for five wins of their own. Freshmen Maximilian Jelen, Steven Russo, Grant Stafford and Jack Strauss kicked off the day with their win in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:34.11. Jelen went on to place fifth in the 200 fly (2:03.73). Russo went on to win the 100 breast (58.24). Strauss placed first in the 100 back (52.73) and third in the 100 free with a time of 47.06. Stafford would go on to win the 100 free with a time of 46.28.
Returning RedHawks, sophomore Evan Bader, sophomore Christopher Dieter, senior Sean Minderlein, and senior Dan Nemeth all turned in first-place finishes. Bader won the 200 breast with a time of 2:08.12. Dieter took the 200 free, seconds before junior Joe Baumgartner (1:44.30), finishing with a 1:42.63 time. Minderlein controlled the 1000 free with a time of 9:43.31, nearly five seconds faster than Xavier's second-place finisher and Nemeth took the 50 free with a time of 21.03.
Other key point-getters with second-place finishes for the men were freshman Jared Higdon, in the 200 fly (1:59.20), sophomore Sean Neri, who placed second in the 200 back (1:53.09), freshman Matthew Rigali, in the 100 breast (58.42) and the 400 free relay team of Dieter, Neri, Baumgartner and sophomore Jacob Prodoehl.
Third-place finishes were turned in by Baumgartner, Prodoehl and seniors Andrew Kilkenny and Sam Crockett in the 200 medley (1:35.87). Senior Sam Flessner also finished third twice in the 100 back (52.81) and 200 back (1:55.09).
The men will next compete on Saturday, Nov. 2, in Cleveland, OH against Cleveland State at 2:00 p.m.

Dear Editor,
I wanted to address an issue or two in what has become perhaps the great controversy of the age, at least in America, that being the place of religion in government. The intentions of The Founders are confusing at best. The one thing which seems to make sense to me, being one of those "educated elite liberals" (I also drive a Volvo, although I generally prefer expresso to latte) is that the first bunch of white folks to drop anchor here in North America, braved disease and uncertainty and The North Atlantic in big wooden tub because the government in England had decided that the religion they liked best would have to be the religion every Englishman would have to embrace or there were going to be nasty consequences. Some 150 years later, when it came time to make a nation of these colonies, there were many battles over the question of whether or not Christianity or some particular version of it would be institutionalized in our founding documents. Many arguments eventually led to a whole bunch of compromises which led to The Establishment Clause, which said that the government should not do anything which might look like an endorsement of any particular religion. Even the word "Creator" was used in The Declaration of Independence instead of the word "God" or "Jesus" or "Allah" and it was very much by design. These well intentioned people had sharp memories and remembered what had happened in England. Recall also that these same folks, with the best of intentions, said that it was ridiculous to suggest that a woman had the same right to vote that a man had and that it was perfectly all right for people to own other people and use them as they wished. There were many good Christians in The Old South who knew the truth of the matter, that the God they worshiped had endorsed their right to own slaves. When other people thought that did not seem quite right, it resulted in the death of several million young men in what was known thereafter as The Civil War. The Good Christians in The South continued the social slavery of their darker skinned neighbors until the 1960s. Many of those who sat in the front pew on Sunday felt it was their right to hang black men by their necks for speaking to a white woman and celebrated justice with a few bars of "Amazing Grace" round the old oak tree the night before. Even Jefferson himself, the man who penned those immortal words, "All Men Are Created Equal", forgot to add the qualifier, "except for the ones I own". As far as The Ten Commandments go, I am often perplexed at the contention that they are the strong and certain backbone of our laws. I wonder which of the ten pertain. The first one says that God will not allow any other Gods but himself. The second one says you shall not make any pictures or statues of any of these other Gods which God does not approve of. The third says you should not say the name of God in any nasty manner. The fourth says to make sure you keep the Sabbath holy, which I think any Jewish person could tell you, in their book, is Saturday. The fifth is to honor your parents. Thank goodness we don't jail people for breaking that commandment or 98% of us would have been issued an orange jumpsuit as teenagers. The sixth is very important and orders that we not kill. Does that include things like "collateral damage"? Number seven is a real humdinger, No sex with someone if you are married to someone else. Ouch. The eighth suggests we should not steal. What of the man whose children are starving? Number nine tells us that one should not indulge in the spreading of nasty rumors. I'm at least happy I can report that I have never encountered this on Shelter Island. The last one on the list is that we should not wish for the things our neighbor has if we don't have them. Boy, there goes Capitalism right. down the tubes. We have a national economy based upon everybody wanting what everybody else has. Time to turn in those new Nikes and fill in the swimming pool. Reflecting back on the bunch, eight of the ten have no connection whatsoever to any United States law I know. The Founders felt strongly that every person should have the right to see religious questions exactly as they please, without any impediment from anyone, especially the government. The greatest threat to Christians and any other religion is when the government starts telling them how to conduct their business but that can only be assured if religions of all kinds keep out of the business of the government as well. There can be no gray zone or we lose the benefits. We are not all Christians; we are not all Jews or Atheists or Muslims for that matter. There is enormous controversy even among Christians as to just what it means to be a Christian. The same for The Jews and Muslims. The one thing we all share is just this, we are all Americans and the rights of all Americans must be respected by all other Americans. If it makes people more comfortable to write that down ten times on the face of a big block of granite then I'll be happy to bring the hammer and chisel. Amen.

Results vs. Bentley College (2008-03-10 00:00:00)
March 10, 2008
"Fight of the Falcons" Goes to Bentley
MISENHIMER, N.C. - Sophomore Kevin Gould (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury HS) recorded a hat trick and added an assist to lead the way for Bentley in a 13-8 win over Pfeiffer on Monday afternoon in non-conference Division II men's lacrosse action at Lefko Field.
Pfeiffer jumped out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to early goals from sophomore Shawn Cross (Cranberry Township, Pa.) and freshman Robert Adams (Mooresville, N.C.), but Bentley tied the game by the end of the first.
Gould scored a man-up goal with just under three minutes to play in the opening quarter to kick off a string of five unanswered goals for Bentley. Sophomore Brad Tunis (Sudbury, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury HS) added another with 19 ticks left on the clock in the first, then opened the second quarter with a man-down goal 18 seconds in to give Bentley a lead it never relinquished. A pair of newcomers capped off the 5-0 run with their first goals in Bentley uniforms as freshman Steve Murray (Billerica, Mass./Billerica HS) and junior transfer Addi Van Hatcher (Tigard, Ore./Oregon Episcopal School) scored to make it a 5-2 lead.
Senior Eddie Gourley (Damascus, Md.) and sophomore Wesley McMahon (Olney, Md.) netted goals for Pfeiffer before halftime, but each was answered by Gould and junior Andy Curtis (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford HS) scored with five seconds to go in the second quarter to give Bentley an 8-4 halftime lead.
After junior Kevin Anderson (Altamonte Springs, Fla.) opened the scoring for Pfeiffer in the second half, sophomore Evan Bagley (Cape Elizabeth, Maine/Cape Elizabeth HS) scored the eventual game-winner with 6:05 to go in the third quarter. Junior Chris Woods (Duxbury, Mass./Sandwich HS) added another before sophomore Chad Olsen (Great Mills, Md.) tallied a pair for Pfeiffer. Junior Tyler McChristian (West Hartford, Conn./Conard HS) scored his first collegiate goal in the waning seconds of the third quarter before sophomore Stephen Moulton (Danvers, Mass./Danvers HS) and Curtis capped off the scoring in the fourth. Senior goalie Patrick Martin (Leonartown, MD/Cattonsville CC) made sixteen save for Pfeiffer and Junior goalie Kris Dambach (Chester, N.J./West Morris Central HS) made nine saves to earn the win for Bentley.
The Falcons are in action again on Saturday, traveling to Lees-McRae for a 2:30 P.M. start.

What is this guide?
This is a guide to help new players prepare for raiding in World of Warcraft. This guide is aimed at players who have never raided before, but are interested in joining a raid guild and seeing this side of WoW.
What does this guide not cover?
This is not a guide to joining a high end raid guild currently working on an instance like Naxxramas. Following this guide will not get you into Death and Taxes. The advice is aimed at players looking to join a raid guild working on Molten Core.
This is also not a guide to turning your current guild into a raiding guild. For more information on that topic, I would suggest asking in the WoW Guild Relations forum.
Finally, the Burning Crusade expansion will be coming out fairly soon, and may make parts of this guide obsolete.
What are the endgame instances in WoW?
Currently, the non-raid endgame instances in WoW are (listed in rough order of difficulty):
Blackrock Depths (5-man)
Lower Blackrock Spire (tuned for 5, can do with 10)
Dire Maul (5-man)
Scholomance (5-man)
Stratholme (5-man)
Upper Blackrock Spire (10-man)
All of the above instances you can do on a regular basis without joining a raid guild. Simply look for pickup groups in the LookingForGroups channel.
The raid instances are (again, in rough order of difficulty):
Zul'Gurub (20-man)
Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (20-man)
Molten Core (40-man)
Onyxia (40-man)
Blackwing Lair (40-man)
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (40-man)
Naxxaramus (40-man)
These are the instances that you join a raid guild for. There are also several world bosses (Kazzak, Azuregos, Emerald Dragons) wandering around which require a raid to defeat.
Why do I need to join a raid guild?
Structure and Numbers. Raiding requires the cooperation of a significant number of people. Currently raids are made up of 20 or 40 Level 60s. Getting 20 or 40 people to work together for several hours at a time on a regular basis requires a specialized structure for support. As well, in addition to sheer numbers, raids need a balance of classes.
Most levelling guilds lack the structure, numbers or class balance to field raids on a regular basis. Therefore, if you wish to raid, it is my advice to seek out and join a raiding guild.
Why should I raid?
1. Loot. Raid instances offer the best loot in the game. Part of the fun of this game is making your character more and more powerful, and at level 60, loot is the means by which character progression is expressed.
2. New experiences. Raiding is a very different experience than the rest of the game. There is a thrill which comes from coming up with a plan to defeat the boss, and then executing that plan successfully.
3. Killing dragons is always fun.
What's the difference between raids and other instances?
Raid boss fights are much more intricate than fights found in other instances. Each boss fight is like a different little puzzle which your raid has to figure out. In my opinion, the pre-60 fight that is most like a raid boss fight is Archaedas in Uldaman.
Am I skilled enough to raid?
I'll let you in on a little secret: Raiding is not that hard. If you can do the 5/10-man dungeons, you are more than good enough to raid. The vast majority of raiders are just as skilled as you. They just happen to be in raid guilds.
There are other qualities which are as important as skill. A good raider is also dependable when it comes to showing up for raids, keeps her cool when wiping and getting frustrated, and is willing to follow orders.
What do I need to start raiding?
Each individual raid guild will have their own requirements. Here are some guidelines that should prepare you for most entry level raid guilds:
1. Level 60 (Purchase all your skills!)
2. 300 First Aid
3. Attuned to Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and Onyxia
4. Decent gear for your class role
5. Download and install the CT_RaidAssist, CT_BossMods, and Decursive mods
6. Download and install Teamspeak and Ventrillo
Why do I need to be level 60?
All raid instances are tuned for level 60 characters. It is easiest to level to 60 and then start raiding.
Also, it is important to purchase all your skills. You never know when you might need a specific skill. I was once in a raid guild with a paladin who refused to purchase Greater Blessing of Salvation. That was very annoying.
300 First Aid?
Yes. Being able to bandage yourself is a huge boon for the healers, as it provides healing for no mana and no effort on their part. Get 300 First Aid, and keep a stack of Heavy Runecloth Bandages on you. Your healers will love you, and impressing the healers is a good way to stay alive.
As well, it's fairly easy to get to 300 First Aid. All you need are a few stacks of cloth.
What are attunements?
To enter Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and Onyxia, you need to complete quests found in the 5/10-man dungeons. You should seek out and complete these quests as soon as possible.
You also need attunement to enter Naxxramas, but that is expensive, and is not an immediate concern.
What sort of gear do I need?
You generally should be geared mostly in blues from the 5/10-man dungeons. The best pre-raid gear is found in those instances listed above. In particular, Dire Maul is a good place for gear.
For most classes, Dungeon 1 set pieces (Lightforge, Devout, Shadowcraft, etc.) are good enough for early raiding. The major exception is the warrior class. A Warrior needs tanking gear (+def, +sta, +dodge/parry/block, high armor) as her primary role in raids is that of a tank.
Blues purchased off the Auction House tends to be very expensive. You can purchase greens to fill out your collection, but for the most part, instance blues will serve you better. The one exception is Abyssal Cloth/Plate/etc. Those are very good.
You do not need your Dungeon 2 set to start raiding. However, getting the first three pieces of Dungeon 2 is fairly easy, and they provide solid upgrades.
Don't go overboard trying to find the best gear possible. Epics found on raids will replace your gear eventually. Just try and put a decent set together before you start raiding.
The last element of gear to keep an eye out for is resistance gear. In raids, you will need fire/nature/frost resistance gear for certain fights. Try and accumulate such gear while you are collecting your regular gear. Again, don't go crazy, the best resist gear tends to be found on raids in any case, but anything you can collect will help.
Why do I need mods?
You don't absolutely need these mods, but a lot of guilds require them. As well, they make raiding life easier. Download them and try them out, but make sure you can play without them. Don't rely on them to play the game for you.
Why do I need Ventrillo/Teamspeak?
Again, these programs are not absolutely necessary. Most guilds find that voice communication allows for easier coordination of the raid. You don't need a microphone, but you should able to listen in.
If for some reason you cannot use Vent/Teamspeak (perhaps a physical disability), let your guild know, and most of them will do their best to accommodate you.
What should my talent spec for raiding be?
There are many strong opinions on what talents a raider should take. Every class generally has one talent tree, or several talents, that are specifically designed for raiding. You should be flexible, and willing to respec if needed (note that on your application to raid guilds).
That being said, I would advise attending a raid or two before respeccing. You have your current spec for a reason. Respeccing with an understanding of why you need to change will serve you better than choosing spec X because the internet said X was the best spec for raiding.
As well, sometimes it is important to see what the raid needs, and use that to determine what spec you should take. For example, if none of the other paladins have Improved Blessing of Might, maybe you should consider a spec which incorporates it.
Alright, I'm tired of writing. That's Part One. I'll try to write Part Two later this week, addressing finding a raid guild and what to do on a raid.
If you have any questions that should be answered, post them, and I'll work them into Part Two.

This is a great computer for the price. If all you need is a wired cyclocomputer with the basic features this should do the trick. My only problem was the first model I was sent was defective.

I use this on my fsMTB. Has all the functionality that I need. I have no complaints with the device. I prefer wired sensors like this one because they simply work, with no concerns of signal loss or a second battery. This one looks good and matches the design cues of more modern bicycles. Looks like it belongs where I've mounted it on my stem. Much nicer than a locally purchased competitor in the same price range. Blackburn knew what they were doing here.

Terri Rogers has a simple goal when the North Carolina East-West All-Star Game tips off Monday night.
"I just want to do my best for the team," Rogers said.
The Catawba-bound graduate of Eastern Alamance will line up for the West team in the showcase at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Rogers is the first girls' basketball player from Eastern Alamance to be selected for the North Carolina East-West All-Star Game since the sport was added to the docket of games in 1975.
"I wasn't expecting to be picked, it just happened the way it did," Rogers said.
Rogers reported to practices with her West team Saturday, with a practice that night. She said that practice focused on offense, with coach Amber Fox (Morganton Freedom) putting in a few set plays.
Sunday's practices were geared toward defensive plays and establishing press breaks.
"I don't know if it helps, I just know that's the way the coach has it set up," Rogers said.
Regardless of whether Fox's practice plan works, Rogers can rely on familiarity with other West players.
Rogers teamed with several of her teammates and opponents when she played in the Carolinas All-Star Basketball Classic in March. In that game, Rogers was a teammate of fellow West players Amanda Coffer (Northern Guilford), Keri Fulp (East Surry) and Kenya Hailey (Southeast Guilford).
Four players — Whitney Bunn (Bunn High School), J'Kyra Brown (Rocky Mount), Briana Day (Raleigh Millbrook) and Amber Doniere (Wilmington Laney) — played in the Carolinas Classic and will play for the East team.
"Everyone gets along great," Rogers said.
This summer, Rogers said she has been working with Eastern Alamance coach Tim Krotish to improve post moves and rebounding prowess.
"I'm more prepared than I thought I would be. I can't wait to play," Rogers said. "I've been preparing for this for awhile."
With the ideal scenario to give her best effort — which was a consistent theme this past season for Eastern Alamance — Rogers can easily picture what the end result would be after Monday night's game.
"Do my best and … I give it my all and I know that it's the absolute best, that's what I want to do and that's what I'm going to do," Rogers said assertively.
Rogers said most of her family and some friends and teammates from Eastern Alamance are planning to attend the game.

Thanks for the good ideas. Drinking tons of water helps as well as moisturizing. Also, I have heard fish oil and biotin are beneficial.

NHL Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, January 4th (All times Eastern)
Vancouver Canucks (23-12-7) at Los Angeles Kings (25-13-4), 10 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Kings will try to avoid their longest losing streak in over six years on Saturday night when they open up a homestand against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Kings have dropped five straight in regulation, capping a winless four- game road trip with Thursday's 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
Martin Jones got the start between the pipes for Los Angeles, but was pulled in the second period after allowing two goals on 14 shots. Ben Scrivens stopped only nine of the 12 shots he faced in relief.
"We're down on ourselves, but we can't be," said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty. "We need to pick ourselves up. We need to get that confidence back."
After allowing just eight goals in winning the first eight starts of his NHL career, Jones has yielded seven goals in three straight losses.
Scrivens, meanwhile, has not won since Dec. 2, losing three straight starts, as the duo is slumping in place of the injured Jonathan Quick, who is nearing a return from a strained groin and has not played since Nov. 12.
The Kings now begin a five-game homestand on their longest losing streak since dropping five in a row from Dec. 3-13, 2011. A loss tonight would give Los Angeles its longest skid since it dropped eight in a row from Dec. 12-26, 2007.
The Canucks are a solid 10-2-2 in their last 14, but are coming off a 4-2 setback to the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday.
Brad Richardson and Zac Dalpe scored in the Canucks' second straight loss, while Eddie Lack yielded all four goals on 33 shots as Vancouver put forth a performance that disappointed head coach John Tortorella.
"It was our worst game of the year," Tortorella said. "We deserved to lose that one. I just think it was a game that we were out of sorts, out of sync, and it wasn't just one particular guy. It was the whole team."
Lack made his third straight start since Roberto Luongo suffered a lower-body injury on Dec. 22. However, the netminder appears ready to return to action after Vancouver sent goaltender Joacim Eriksson back to the American Hockey League on Thursday.
Luongo is 14-10-5 with a 2.33 goals against average and three shutouts in his career versus the Kings, while Lack has faced them just once before in relief on Nov. 9, stopping 13-of-14 shots faced.
The Kings have won the two previous meetings between the clubs this season and have split their last six at home versus the Canucks.

MARK KEOHANE writes Australia were woeful in Auckland and the All Blacks will at least get a contest when they play the Springboks.
Many Australians were trying to take comfort with a view that the All Blacks were that good; not that their side were awful, but All Blacks coach Steve Hansen knows the Springboks will provide something resembling a Test because they haven't been as scarred as those Australians who year in and year out have taken a beating against the black machine.
This was Australia's poorest effort, in terms of what lined up and what they offered in every facet of the game. On another day, when passes stick and the All Black forwards know that they have to provide a platform first, this would have been 60. There were five or six times the All Blacks were over the line or a metre away and they blew five pointers.
Every All Black was an offload king and this allowed Australia to escape a scoreboard humiliation but there was no disguising the most emphatic beating between the two great rivals. New Zealand's defence was ruthless and it was like a heavyweight asked to club a welterweight. Australia had intent and desire but they had no conviction because they were not strong enough, not good enough and not skilled enough to ask any questions of a New Zealand defence that did everything but assault them. Everything was legal about the All Blacks defence and the hits were huge and often delivered in twos and threes.
To keep any team scoreless at this level is an achievement and the All Blacks have done it to Ireland (60-0) and now the Wallabies (22-0). But the attack was poor and lacked patience and precision. The lineout was again a weakness for the All Blacks, but the Australian effort was no better.
The scrum, from an Australian perspective, was a shambles. Why can't a nation of strong men scrum? No backline would have been effective getting the ball that came Australia's way and there can be no criticism of Australia's attack or Quade Cooper's lack of attacking threat. The ball was never delivered to No 10 anywhere near the gainline. Cooper when he got it had to scramble a kick or try and beat a defender with a pass and hope the recipient of the pass produced a miracle moment. The pressure of the All Blacks defence was sustained and relentless. The chase of the kick lasted 80 minutes, the kick-offs were always contested and scrumhalf Will Genia will feel he played against eight All Blacks forwards and not a nippy halfback.
When Genia looks disheartened and disinterested then you know how bad it must have been wearing the Wallabies No 9 jumper in Auckland. The most alarming aspect has been the regression of the Wallabies in the last year. Deans, who has lost 14 of the 17 Tests against the All Blacks, keeps on talking of a learning curve but after five years talk of learning is an insult to any Australian supporter.
Coaches always judge a team's spirit and collective on the way they scramble in defence and chase kick-offs or up and unders. A good chase can turn the most ordinary of kicks into something special. Australia chased nothing, yet their decision-makers continued to kick. It was embarrassing.
It was too easy for the All Blacks and this could explain the lack of patience and authority in decision-making. Sonny Bill Williams and Ma'a Nonu did as they pleased in the midfield, with Williams enjoying a fantastic send-off. He'll be back in two years and in 2015 he will again be the biggest attraction.
Many may not enjoy the mercenary in him and many will never forgive a player of such pedigree who opts for a Japanese club jersey over that of the mystical black pullover but whatever your view of his career decisions there is no denying the qualities of Williams as a player. He can play and in tandem with Dan Carter the moments will always have been too few.
Richie McCaw also can't be praised enough. He has now beaten the Wallabies 23 times in 29 starts and lost 12 Tests in 107. Yet he plays with the enthusiasm of a bloke in his first Test or chasing his first Test win. New Zealand knows his value, but they also know how much he will be missed because there won't be any player who will match his contribution in an All Blacks jersey.
McCaw has had some titanic battles against the Wallabies, but he won't have easily enjoyed such a one-sided contest. The conspiracy theorists could well think Robbie Deans was a New Zealand plant in the Australian camp.
The Boks will be weary but hardly fearful. Physically they can match the All Blacks and the lineout is always an area in which the New Zealanders struggle against the South Africans. But the Boks cannot possibly offer as little as the Wallabies did.
Argentina will prove more difficult for the All Blacks and Argentina should believe victory against Australia in Argentina is a probable and not a possible.
Deans has lost to every nation in the top 10 but Italy, and even then the Wallabies sneaked victory in Italy. It has also put the Welsh effort into perspective.
Wales fancy themselves as being the equal of the All Blacks. Not quite.
There is only one team that can trouble the current All Blacks and that is the traditional rival South Africa, especially in South Africa.
The All Blacks deserve every accolade for the efforts in the year post their World Cup win. Few teams have shown such desire to be successful, but it has been made that much easier because of the charity of the Aussies.
Saturday has to be one of the lowest in Wallabies history – and under Deans that is some statement given they've lost to Scotland (in Australia), Samoa (in Australia), England (in Australia) and taken many a beating in Europe and a 50 pointer in South Africa.
No South African or All Blacks coach would ever have seen a second season with that return and Australia will be a factor again the moment one of their own is asked to plot the downfall of New Zealand. Deans, for all the Super Rugby coaching pedigree and titles with the Crusaders, has been a disaster the equal of what was offered as a Test effort in Auckland on Saturday.
Bring on the Boks – and let's have a Test match this season.

RALEIGH – Clearly having moved on from the disappointment of falling short in Atlantic Coast Conference endeavors, the North Carolina State men's basketball team is taking stock of its lineup as it heads to the NCAA Tournament.
With a matchup for Friday afternoon against Temple in the works at Dayton, Ohio, the Wolfpack will have almost a full week between games. That break might have come at a good time despite the loss in Saturday's ACC Tournament semifinals to eventual champion Miami.
Senior forward Richard Howell's injured thigh has made progress, coach Mark Gottfried said.
But in the meantime, sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown's ankle that caused him to miss two-plus games several weeks ago has caused some discomfort, coach Mark Gottfried said.
"He has struggled with the ankle," Gottfried said. "It's just not very strong."
Neither Howell or Brown was available for comment after Tuesday's practice.
Instead of a celebration when N.C. State showed up on the NCAA Tournament bracket, this year there was a more subdued response from the Wolfpack. After all, the team fully expected to be part of the tournament.
"We've got to go out there with our 'A' game," senior guard Scott Wood said.
