COLONIE The Shaker/Colonie hockey team made West Genesee work for its 4-0 non-league victory Saturday at the Albany County Hockey Facility.
The Jets (1-3-0 league, 5-6-0 overall) remained within striking distance of the state's top-ranked Division I team until Ryan McDonald struck for two West Genesee goals in a 16-second stretch late in the third period.
"They're very good and well coached," said Shaker/Colonie coach Steve Hudak. "They're very solid from front to back."
West Genesee (13-0-0) was in the middle of a hectic two-week stretch of games when they arrived at the Albany County rink, and coach Frank Colabufo said the Olympic-sized ice sheet made it difficult for the Wildcats to play their usual game.
"We knew this rink would offer a challenge to us, and it did," said Colabufo. "It affected our forecheck."
Shaker/Colonie's consistent aggressiveness and a strong effort from goaltender Zach Dignum (20 saves) also made it difficult for West Genesee to gain any momentum.
"We knew Shaker always competes real hard, so we knew they would battle and they did," said Colabufo.
West Genesee got its first breakthrough late in the first period when Grainger Sasso unleashed a wrist shot that eluded Dignum on his stick side for a 1-0 lead. Nick Mellen then used a hard slapshot to get the puck past Dignum midway through the second period.
Shaker/Colonie generated a couple of scoring chances late in the second period, one of which glanced off the goal post. But those were the exception to the flow of the game, which generally favored West Genesee.
"Their goalie was good, and they did a very good job of blocking us out and preventing us from getting rebounds," said Hudak.
Still, Shaker/Colonie shadowed West Genesee until the final three minutes of the game. That's when McDonald tallied his two goals to double the Wildcats' lead.
"You're always concerned (with a small lead)," said Colabufo. "They have a couple of playmakers, and they made some nice plays out there."
The loss to West Genesee was the only setback for Shaker/Colonie last week. The Jets knocked off Queensbury 7-2 last Wednesday to earn their first Capital District High School Hockey League win of the season, and then they shut out North Country power Lake Placid 3-0 Friday at home.
"I think we had a great week," said Hudak. "Hopefully, we've turned the corner."
Shaker/Colonie hosts CDHSHL rival LaSalle Friday at 4:45 p.m.

In 2004 the EPA began development and implementation of SmartWay, an organized effort to specify a collection of current and emerging technologies for creating efficient tractor-trailer combinations with the best environmental performance in terms of both air pollution and emission of greenhouse gases. The certification program uses existing (2007) EPA test methods, supplemented by additional testing, available industry test data, and ongoing research. SmartWay designations are limited to new passenger vehicles (cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans), new Class 8 sleeper trucks, new 53-ft dry van trailers, and retrofit 53-ft dry van trailers but will include other truck types in the future. The partnership program under SmartWay includes other types of trucks above 8,500 gross vehicle weight rating, in that some participants include their medium-duty trucks in the partnership. Certification allows carriers, manufacturers, and shippers to apply the SmartWay logo (Figure 3-6) to their products as a signal to consumers and the community that they are taking actions to limit the negative environmental impacts of their business operations.
To attain SmartWay certification, tractors must have an aerodynamic profile that includes a high roof sleeper, integrated roof fairings, cab side extenders, fuel tank side fairings, and aerodynamic bumpers and mirrors (Figure 3-7). They must be powered by a 2007 or newer engine, with a SmartWay-approved option for idle reduction. The tires must be SmartWay-approved, low-rolling-resistance tires; the use of aluminum wheels for weight reduction is an option. The tractor specification is a design attribute only. EPA sets no vehicle-level performance targets in SmartWay and requires

The McClain varsity boys and girls won a quad meet Tuesday evening on the Tigers track defeating Miami Trace, Lynchburg, and Whiteoak.
The meet was shortened by a couple of events due to lightning in the area which ended the activities.
The McClain boys continued their successful season by scoring 128.5 points in the meet to easily out-distance Miami Trace who finished second with 58 points. Lynchburg was third with 16.5 points followed by Whiteoak who totaled 11.
On the girls side the Lady Tigers won their first meet of the season when they scored 82 points to just edge out Miami Trace who finished second with 74. The Whiteoak ladies took third with 35 points followed by the Lady Mustangs who totaled 29.
The McClain boys led from start to finish and really dominated the meet taking first place in eleven of the thirteen events on the day while the Lady Tigers led early on then trailed at the middle before pulling out the close victory at the end.
Senior James Morris led McClain with first place finishes in both the long jump (19.8) and the 200 meters (23.74). The other first place finishers for the Tiger boys were Alex Hollar (100 meter dash 11.58), Evan Mustard (110 hurdles 17.71), Tommy Free (pole vault 10'6"), Cody Hardesty (800 meters 2:12.05), Ryan Faulconer (shot put 48'2"), Jeremiah Savage (1600 meters 5:13.4), Mikel Pritchard (high jump 5'10"), and Chandler Wagner (discus 120'1").

Other top finishers for the Tigers were Jake Badgley (2nd place long jump), Caleb Shepard (2nd place 1600 meters), Pritchard (2nd place 400 meters), Mustard (2nd place 300 hurdles), and Savage (2nd place 800 meters).
The Whiteoak boys got a first place finish from Derek Ison in the 400 meters with a winning time of 52.56.
On the girls side the Lady Tigers were led by senior Tara Karnes and sophomore Jhaela Coleman who were both double-winners. Karnes just missed the school record in the discus event with a heave of 112 feet and she also won the shot put competition with a winning toss of 36'5".
Coleman was an easy winner in the 100 meter dash with a time of 12.96 and she won the long jump with a leap of 15'9" while teammate Megan Mustard finished second with a personal best jump of 14'9'. Coleman also had a second place finish in the 200 meters when she was beaten in a photo finish by Kelsey Smith of Miami Trace.
The other two first place winners for McClain were Abby Storts in the high jump (4'6") and Kenzie Figgins in the 100 hurdles (19.55). The Lady Tigers also won the 4x100 and 4x200 relay events.
Whiteoak had a first place finish on the girls half when Maggie Carr won the 300 meter hurdles in a winning time of 59.61.
McClain will be hosting its annual McClain invitational meet this Friday with eight area teams competing starting at 4:30 p.m. McClain will also host the junior high invitational on Thursday starting at 4:30 p.m. with approximately seven teams competing.

Real estate managers oversee the daily activities and financial aspects of residential and commercial properties, such as apartments, office buildings and retail stores. Learn what type of education is required to obtain a position, as well what to expect in terms of job growth and earnings potential.
Career Definition
Real estate managers oversee the operational aspects of commercial and residential properties and are responsible for maintaining the premises and increasing their value. Some managers may provide services for multiple buildings or locations. Job duties associated with large properties can include training and supervising staff members and groundskeepers. According to the U.S. General Services Administration, real estate managers who work on smaller properties may also be responsible for daily services and minor repairs (www.gsa.gov). Depending on the employer, additional activities can include making mortgage, tax and insurance payments, as well as other bookkeeping activities.
How to Become a Real Estate Manager
Education Required
Most employers prefer applicants to have a bachelor's degree in real estate, finance or business administration. Managers often receive on-the-job training, including how to operate and repair any machines or equipment located on the premises.
Skills Required
Real estate managers must have excellent interpersonal and analytical skills, including the ability to communicate with owners, staff and tenants in an effective and efficient manner. Computer literacy, recordkeeping and strong leadership abilities are also required. Manual dexterity and knowledge of maintenance tools and equipment may be helpful in more hands-on positions.
Career and Salary Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), opportunities for property, real estate and community association managers across the country are expected to grow by 12% from 2012 to 2022, due to the expansion of residential and commercial properties. As of May 2012, real estate managers earned mean annual salaries of $63,570 (www.bls.gov).
Alternate Career Options
Administrative Service Managers
In general, administrative services managers oversee the support services for a company or an organization. Responsibilities typically include maintaining the facility, recordkeeping and routing mail. While it is possible to enter the field with a high school diploma, some employers may prefer candidates with a bachelor's degree in a relevant field of study, such as business administration or facility management. Professional certifications are available from the International Facility Management Association. As reported by the BLS, job opportunities for administrative services managers nationwide are expected to increase by 12% between 2012 and 2022, a fast-as-average rate of growth when compared to all other occupations. The BLS also reports that, in May 2012, administrative service managers earned mean yearly wages of $88,660.
Lodging Managers
Lodging managers are responsible for the efficient and profitable operations of hotels, motels and other related establishments, which typically includes making sure that overnight guests have an enjoyable stay. Minimum requirements include a high school diploma and lodging experience; a bachelor's degree in hotel management or hospitality may be required by full-service or larger establishments. According to the BLS, a little over half of the states in the country, as well as Washington D.C., provide relevant training at the high school level. As of May 2012, lodging managers earned mean annual wages of $54,800, with little or no change in job growth anticipated between 2012 and 2022 nationwide.

5/29/2015 | Colabello's ninth-inning homer lifts Blue Jays
Chris Colabello's past year has been full of highs and lows. Friday night, the outfielder might've reached his highest point thus far in the Blue Jays' 6-4 victory over his former team, the Twins.
5/29/2015 | High-scoring Blue Jays face test vs. Gibson, Twins
The Blue Jays entered the weekend set with Minnesota near the top of many major offensive categories. But the top-scoring team in the league will have its work cut out for it as the Twins throw righty Kyle Gibson in the second game of the series on Saturday.
5/28/2015 | Clutch hitting at center of Twins' emergence
The Twins have won seven of their last eight series, 19 of their last 25 games and 12 of their last 14 home games. They bounced back from a 1-6 record and have been the hottest team in the Majors over the last month, as their 22-8 record since April 25 is the best in the Majors in that span. But the question is: How are they doing it?
5/27/2015 | Twins' milestones have significance
Maybe all you need to know about the Minnesota Twins was on display in the bottom of the third inning Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. This would be the day the Twins would grab a share of first place in the American League Central, the day of another raucous clubhouse celebration after a 6-4 victory over the Red Sox. Sure, there's a long way to go, but for the Twins, these small milestones have significance.
5/27/2015 | Twins' offense firing on all cylinders
A thicker-than-normal layer of fog enveloped the Twins' clubhouse Wednesday, evidence of the team's 6-4 victory over the Red Sox.
5/27/2015 | On Target: Bautista thrives at Target Field
Riding a five-game winning streak, the Twins will face a pair of Blue Jays who love hitting at Target Field when the two clubs begin a three-game set on Friday night.
5/27/2015 | Twins sweep Red Sox, tied for first in AL Central
The Twins completed a three-game sweep over the Red Sox with a 6-4 win powered by homers from Aaron Hicks and Eddie Rosario on Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. It marked the first sweep of Boston in Minnesota since 2006, and helped the Twins move into a tie for first place in the American League Central with the Royals at 28-18.
5/27/2015 | Fien on schedule to return to Twins' bullpen
The Twins' bullpen is set to get a boost, as reliever Casey Fien is nearing a return.
5/27/2015 | MLB.TV unveils new Web-based media player
Major League Baseball Advanced Media is introducing its new Web-based media player (version 5.0), for those who currently subscribe or those who sign up now for MLB.TV Premium ($114.99 a year or $24.99 a month) or regular MLB.TV ($94.99/$19.99).

5/27/2015 | Pelfrey's sinker-splitter combo stifles Red Sox
Considering he wasn't even added to the rotation until Ervin Santana's 80-game suspension right before the start of the season, Mike Pelfrey's impressive start is one of the biggest surprises for the Twins this season.
5/26/2015 | Twins could use push in All-Star balloting
Despite entering Tuesday eight games above .500 at 26-18, the Twins didn't have any players among the leading vote-getters for the 2015 All-Star Game, according to the first American League ballot update.
5/26/2015 | Turning tide against Red Sox, Twins seek sweep
For the past eight years, the Red Sox have won the season series against the Twins. The last time the teams met, the Twins were swept, scoring just two runs in a three-game series at Fenway Park. But that was last June and with a surging Twins team and a struggling Red Sox roster, that could change this year.
5/26/2015 | Statcast: Hicks motors to 21.4 mph on catch
With two outs in the second inning on Monday at Target Field, Daniel Nava popped Ricky Nolasco's full-count pitch to short center field, where Aaron Hicks came charging. According to Statcast, Hicks topped out at 21.4 mph to snag the ball on a dive and save a run.
5/25/2015 | Nolasco savors career milestone
Shortly after defeating the Red Sox on Monday, starter Ricky Nolasco was in the Twins' clubhouse dancing for his teammates. And while Nolasco's dancing skills admittedly might not be up to par, the righty had plenty of success on the mound, giving up just two runs in 7 2/3 innings and securing his 100th career victory in Minnesota's 7-2 win.
5/25/2015 | Offense keeps clicking with six-run second
The Twins just keep finding ways to score early, and it was again the case in a 7-2 win over the Red Sox on Monday at Target Field.
5/25/2015 | Fien, Arcia could return this week
With reliever Casey Fien and outfielder Oswaldo Arcia on rehab assignments with Triple-A Rochester, and both left-hander Tommy Milone and designated hitter Kennys Vargas faring well there, Twins manager Paul Molitor said he's been in regular contact with general manager Terry Ryan about the roster.
5/25/2015 | Buxton headlines Prospect Team of the Week
This past week, May 18-24, Byron Buxton raised his batting average 26 points and his slugging percentage 58 points, making him the most impressive among our Prospect Team of the Week honorees.
5/25/2015 | Twins try to keep rolling against Red Sox
The Red Sox and Twins entered their series as arguably two of the most surprising teams in the American League. While Boston is hovering around .500, Minnesota is near the top of the AL Central entering Tuesday night's matchup, which pits Mike Pelfrey against Clay Buchholz at Target Field.
5/25/2015 | Twins top Red Sox in Nolasco's 100th win
Ricky Nolasco picked up career win No. 100 with a season-high 7 2/3 innings, and was backed by a six-run second inning from the Twins in a 7-2 win over the Red Sox on Monday afternoon at Target Field.
5/24/2015 | Twins riding wave of momentum, confidence
The Twins finished off a 4-1 road trip and own the best record in May as they continue to get contributions from the entire roster.
5/24/2015 | Dozier's 2 HRs power Twins past White Sox
Brian Dozier led off the game with a home run and then added a three-run shot in the seventh to back a stingy Kyle Gibson as the Twins packed a series win for their trip home after a 7-1 rout of the Jose Quintana and the White Sox on Sunday.
5/24/2015 | Twins, Red Sox set for first meeting of 2015
The Red Sox and Twins square off for the first time this season on Monday in a matinee matchup at Target Field. The series opener will feature a pair of right-handers on the mound, as Boston turns to Joe Kelly and Minnesota hands the ball to Ricky Nolasco.
5/24/2015 | Fien, Arcia rehabbing with Triple-A Rochester
Reliever Casey Fien tossed a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Rochester on Saturday night, while outfielder Oswaldo Arcia joined Rochester to start a rehab assignment of his own on Sunday.
5/23/2015 | May flowers in festive atmosphere
Twins right-hander Trevor May took advantage of the atmosphere and the shadows to outduel White Sox ace Chris Sale on Saturday.
5/23/2015 | Gibson, Quintana look for support in Twins-White Sox finale
The Minnesota Twins aim to keep up with the rest of the American League Central by sending out their hottest pitcher -- Kyle Gibson -- to the mound on Sunday afternoon against Chicago. Carrying a 1.20 ERA in his last five starts, Gibson hasn't struck out many batters (16 in that span), but he has limited his free passes, allowing eight walks in that time.

The Indian Olympic Association has set up a three-member committee to resolve the issue of how best to run the affairs of hockey in the country.
The two warring bodies – Hockey India and the Indian Hockey Federation – have been asked to present their case before the committee on August 21. The three-member committee, set up following directions from the International Hockey Federation last month, comprises the former Wrestling Federation of India president G.S. Mander, the Indian Weightlifting Federation president Birendra Prasad Baishya and the Handball Federation of India secretary-general S.M. Bali. The committee will submit its report on August 31.
Revealing this on the sidelines of a function to honour the Olympic medallists in the Capital on Friday, the IOA President V.K. Malhotra said, "It is high time we resolved the hockey mess and moved on. We are hoping that something concrete comes out by the month-end."

For decades, the word cancer has inspired fear like none other, conjuring images of parents and grandparents who got their diagnoses and died, sometimes quickly, sometimes painfully.
But, in a variety of roles, Tennesseans are working to strip cancer of its power, encouraging patients to take control of their own health and promoting reasons to replace fear with hope.
"Most cancers, if discovered in time, can be managed with treatment," said Pat Matthews-Juarez, a Meharry Medical College vice president who helped organize the state's most recent cancer summit. "That's the message that has to be out there to dispel this fatalistic approach.
"No one anywhere in the U.S. with a cancer diagnosis should think it's a death sentence."
A social welfare policy expert, Matthews-Juarez knows some need more help through the cancer screening and treatment process. She envisions a Tennessee where prostate screenings and colonoscopies are performed inside recreational vehicles in neighborhood parks and where hospitals employ workers who guide patients through the treatment process.
Some of that already happens.
Funded through private grants and other sources, an RV housed at the University of Tennessee, outfitted with mammography equipment, routinely sets up shop in Appalachian neighborhoods and invites women for free exams.
But to get one, they have to come to a workshop a few weeks in advance that teaches them to do a monthly self-examination of their breasts. Nurses talk to women one-on-one, making it a point to stress how manageable cancer can be.
"If you're going to get cancer, we want you to find it early," said Mae King, coordinator of UT's Breast Health Outreach Program. "One woman who was diagnosed early told us, 'It's not this terrible thing you think it is.' "
Patients get partners
Each woman diagnosed with breast cancer is paired with a nurse navigator who explains the prescribed treatment, makes sure the patient is following it and, if necessary, helps her sign up for government-subsidized health care.
Nurse navigators at Nashville General Hospital at Meharry do the same thing for patients enrolled in clinical trials for cancer treatments there, and 68 percent of patients are. Debra Wujcik, who oversees Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College trials done there, said the navigators call patients who don't show up for treatment and sometimes arrange transportation.
"Some patients who come here have no job, no insurance, other health conditions cancer is just one more thing on their platter," she said. "Some have no one to drive them or sit with them during treatments."
It's not unusual for people to deal with cancer alone, either because they have no close relatives or their family can't handle the diagnosis, Gilda's Club members said.
Nashville is one of only 22 U.S. cities with a club location, a haven for cancer patients and their families. Local fundraisers and a foundation dedicated to actress-comedian Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989, pay for all the books, support groups, classes and activities offered there.
It's housed in an airy three-story building on Division Street, where knitted chemo caps or swollen faces don't get a second look, program manager Trevor Crowder said. She joined in 2004 after her brother's lung cancer diagnosis to get support and went to work for the club four years later.
Members sometimes have show-and-tell mastectomy scars after breast cancer, ostomy bags after colorectal cancer or talk about the most intimate details of their lives.
"I have this sister who is wonderful, but she can't deal with anything medical. She can't even see this thing," said Cary Thrasher, gesturing to the invisible bag under his shirt. He was diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year. "It doesn't bother anyone in here."

Opera, Ballet & Theatre(2010)
Fourteen excerpts from Opus Arte opera, ballet and live theater performances are offered.

Opera, Ballet & Theatre Blu-ray Review
Ever wondered what all the fuss is about with regard to classical music titles on Blu-ray? Here's your chance to find out, for a budget price.
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, November 8, 2010
Classical music lovers are not exactly known for embracing new ideas or technologies. Many opera, ballet and symphony lovers cling to recordings, both aural and video, of their favorite performances which came out years, sometimes decades, ago, on a variety of now obsolete media. That makes it perhaps all the more surprising that classical music lovers have embraced the high definition Blu-ray experience with a rather fair amount of gusto, propelling several titles into best selling status, at least within the rarified confines of this particular genre. Naxos distributes many (some would argue most) of the labels who specialize in these types of releases, and one of their main labels is Opus Arte, a British label which has consistently released the cream of the crop both in terms of repertory pieces like Swan Lake or Don Giovanni, but also a wealth of more adventurous titles like Ercole Amante and Ondine. Opus Arte has also recently branched out from music related titles, delivering a series of fine Shakespeare releases taped live at the Globe Theater. If you've been pondering jumping into this line of programming, but have perhaps been either unsure or concerned about quality, this second compilation release from Opus Arte, entitled The Blu-ray Experience II Opera Ballet & Theatre should provide an adequate sampling of the various sorts of titles you can expect from Opus Arte. This release contains 14 brief snippets from a variety of, as you may have surmised from the title, operas, ballets and theatre pieces. Aside from Opus Arte's odd decision not to include subtitles on this release, these excerpts are all identical to the label's initial unexpurgated releases of these individual titles.
Handel: Giulio Cesare. Coro: "Viva, viva il nostro Alcide!"; Aria: "Presti omai l'Egizia terra." This interesting production combines a sort of 19th century British Empire look with some impressive stage machinery that harkens back a century or two further. Highlighted by a virtuoso star turn by Sarah Connolly and some gorgeous playing the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the direction of William Christie, this is a brisk opening for this disc.
Delibes: Sylvia. "Pizzicati." One of the enduring classics of ballet repertoire gets a solemnly faithful staging here by the Royal Ballet, ably recreating Frederick Ashton's iconic choreography. This production was a little too staid for my personal tastes, but ballet lovers are sure to enjoy this segment, set to one of Delibes' better known melodies.
Mozart: Cosi fan tutte. "Di scrivermi." We've had several Blu-rays of this often misunderstood Mozart piece, but this is one of the best, with brilliant lead performances by Topi Lehtipuu, Luca Pisaroni, Nicolas Rivenq, Miah Persson, Anke Vondung and Ainhoa Garmendia. The beautiful costumes alone are worth the price of admission, and the singing is phenomenal.
Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet. "If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine." This interesting production of Shakespeare's eternal romance features an interracial Romeo and Juliet, both of whom are rather young and without a wealth of theatrical experience. While that shows especially in Ellie Kendrick's Juliet, this is still a wonderfully organic, and often surprisingly funny, production.
Purcell: Dido and Aeneas. "To the hills and the vales"; "The Triumphing Dance". This really interesting interpretation of Purcell's piece combines singing with dancing, with members of the Royal Ballet augmenting several top flight opera stars (including Sarah Connolly again). With Chrisopher Hogwood conducting the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, this is a sometimes odd, but peculiarly fascinating, production of this piece.
Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro. "Signore! Cos'è quel stupore?" David McVicar is seen as either the enfant terrible or the savior of current opera stagings, but he hews a sort of middle ground in this Figaro, moving it up in time to the mid-19th century. This is a luminously sung production with Anthony Pappano conducting the Royal Opera House Orchestra.
Hérold: La fille mal gardée. "The Fanny Elssler pas de deux". This staple from the Frederick Ashton oeuvre is a visual treat and often rather funny. John Lanchbery's wonderful adaptation of Hérold's original score is a highlight, well conducted by Anthony Twiner.
Puccini: La bohème. "Questa è Mimi"; "Ch'io beva del tossico". We've had a glut of Blu-ray Bohèmes, and they all have their individual merits. This is a sumptuous production that in my opinion plays a little bit too much like a museum piece, missing some of the overarching emotion that is inherent in the tragic love story. But it's glorious to see and listen to.
Cavalli: Ercole amanti. "Fifth entrance: Concert of Guitars". Are you one of those people who insists opera is boring, staid and "same old, same old"? I'd highly recommend you start your sampling adventure with this track, then, if only to relish in the insanely bright purple wallpaper backdrop and the rather odd vision of a giant, rubberized baby robot-doll crawling onto stage. Yes, you did read that correctly.
Purcell: The Fairy Queen. "Night: See even Night herself is here". This absolutely visionary production is one of the best releases in the entire Opus Arte canon and is a treasure from start to finish. Amazing to both watch and listen to, this may not be a Fairy Queen for completists (some judicious pruning has been done), but it is a theatrical tour de force.
Mozart: Don Giovanni. Aria: "Metà di voi qua vadano". Like some of the other titles discussed above, lovers of opera have had their pick of Giovannis on Blu-ray, but for pure hedonistic lugubriousness, nothing can top Simon Keenlyside's interpretation in this version.
Henze: Ondine. "Rocking Dance". Ondine is probably one of the lesser known titles included on this sampler, and that's too bad. Henze's music is bracingly original, even as it recalls both the Impressionists (especially in his evocation of water sounds) and more forward thinking composers like Varèse. This is a neat little segment set aboard a ship.
Humperdinck: Hansel and Gretel. "Pantomime". This sort of operatic Grimm's Fairy Tale is a dark and disturbing journey and I've always found it completely odd that this piece has become a Christmas staple. This particular production is very colorful and well sung, and features expert conducting from Colin Davis.
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake. "Act IV Pas de trois." We finish our excursion through the Fine Arts with a nicely lyrical performance of this Tchaikovsky evergreen. There's nothing remotely innovative about this interpretation, but classical ballet lovers will love this slightly tweaked version of Petipa and Ivanov's original conception.
Opera, Ballet & Theatre Blu-ray, Video Quality
Opus Arte typically does very good work on their Blu-rays, and these AVC encoded excerpts, in 1080i and 1.78:1, show the brilliant color and sharpness that is available in high definition. While many of these excerpts provide excellent detail, a lot of them are fairly monochromatic, and so don't immediately pop to an astounding degree. That is certainly not the case with the outrageously bright Ercole amante, which virtually erupts off the screen in a riot of color. But there's a lot of really subtle stuff to enjoy here, from the brilliant red martial uniforms of the opening Handel piece, to the gorgeously saturated teals of Ondine. Black levels and contrast are on the whole excellent over the course of this program, though they occasionally vary from piece to piece. Some of these snippets do suffer from poor choices in stage lighting, which the Blu-ray transfer can't overcome. But all in all this is a nicely sharp looking variety of images which more than adequately shows what's available on Blu-ray from Opus Arte.
Opera, Ballet & Theatre Blu-ray, Audio Quality
There's rarely anything major to complain about on any Opus Arte Blu-ray in terms of audio, and that holds true here, with their typical two lossless audio options, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0. Stick with the 5.1 mix if you have the setup for it. Opus Arte always does a fantastic job in recording these performances, and while surround activity may not completely overwhelm you, discrete separation of orchestral sections is always magnificently handled, and the clarity and nuance of the performances is virtually always spot on. There are some very occasional balance issues to report on the operatic excerpts, which I attribute squarely to microphone issues, but otherwise the mixes here sound absolutely gorgeous. Fidelity is clear as a bell through all frequencies, and you are exposed to a wealth of different orchestral idioms here, everything from period instruments and diatonicism, to the bracing modernism of Ondine. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix shines through it all.
Opera, Ballet & Theatre Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
No supplements are offered on this budget priced disc.
Opera, Ballet & Theatre Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
The Blu-ray Experience II is a great way to get acquainted with the many fine releases offered by Opus Arte. I of course would argue that anyone really interested in this genre would do better to actually get one or two complete titles, but for those who want to dip their feet in the water before jumping in whole hog (so to speak), this is certainly a viable alternative. I find the exclusion of subtitles really odd, but otherwise this release is Recommended.

AmerenUE Pure Power(TM) Program Snags Prestigious Department of Energy Award
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has named UE's Pure Power(TM) program the "most successful" New Green Power Program of the year, company officials report. DOE along with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Center for Resource Solutions are honoring 25 leading corporations, renewable energy suppliers and industry pioneers this week.
Citing Pure Power as the largest green-pricing programs in the Midwest with its nearly 4,000 customers, the DOE recognized the renewable energy offering both for "quantitative criteria, such as customer participation and green power sales, and qualitative criteria, such as overall value provided to customers," according to the DOE announcement released today.
The DOE presented the award Oct. 27 to UE at the annual Green Power Leadership Awards ceremony, held in conjunction with the National Renewable Energy Marketing Conference in Denver, Colorado.
UE is one of four companies recognized for their "commitment to programs that allow consumers to purchase clean green energy options, while also integrating sustainable energy strategies that make good business sense," according to today's DOE release.
Pure Power is the company's Green-e(R) Certified voluntary renewable energy program. Pure Power residential customers volunteer to pay an additional 1.5 cents/kilowatthour on their monthly bills. These funds are then used to purchase and retire renewable energy credits (RECs) from regional wind farms, biomass resources and other green, renewable energy sources.
Residential customers can also purchase "blocks" of RECs for $15 each. Each block represents 1,000 kilowatthours of power from renewable sources. Large commercial and industrial customers participate by purchasing blocks only.
To date, using a grassroots approach coordinated by 3Degrees Energy, UE has purchased RECs equal to 37,000 megawatthours of renewable energy. The company projects demand will exceed 50,000 megawatthours by the end of the year. More than 4,000 residential customers are currently enrolled in Pure Power, with large commercial and industrial companies including high-profile customers like Monsanto, smaller commercial/industrial companies like Schlafly Brewing Co. and even entire communities like St. Louis City, the City of Clayton and the western Missouri town of Plattsburg.
"It is very gratifying whenever UE is recognized nationally for its leadership, but it is especially gratifying to receive an award recognizing Pure Power," says UE President and CEO Tom Voss. "We knew going in that a lot of face-to-face communication would be needed to help customers understand our REC-based program. I am very pleased to see the efforts of UE employees and 3Degrees paying off in Pure Power's continued growth."
With residential electric retail rates that are more than 40 percent below the national average, UE provides electricity and natural gas to 1.2 million customers in Missouri. UE's parent, Ameren Corporation, through its affiliates, serves 2.4 million electric and nearly 1 million natural gas customers across 64,000 square miles of Missouri and Illinois.

A WW2 tactics game
1941 is a tactical game played on a hex grid board in which we recreate battles between allied and axis forces in the WW2. It's a deep tactical game, though the first levels act as a tutorial, and it can become pretty challenging and fulfilling once you know beyond the basics, for example when you start to ration ammo or sacrifice units in a gambit to attack your enemy by his sides. Likewise, you have to be aware of terrain and bog of war. strategy lovers will definitively love it.
However, it isn't gold all that shines. Graphics are good, but there are some annoying minor flaws, as units don't face rival's (and fire backwards) and an unnatural repair aka "magic healing" system to "cure" units on field, something more usual in fantasy settings but that seems odd in this case and just an excuse for in-app purchases. We'd also like to see more different scenarios and units.
In exchange, there's a hotseat mode to share the same device with two more players.
This game is free, ad-supported.

At first, this app is great. I love the strategy and the game is addicting. But the ads dont work. I fulfilled at least 3 download for gold offers and actually got hooked on one of the apps. But I never got the gold. As a result I stopped playing. Unless you dont mind spending money, I wouldnt suggest playing.
Not Bad
Amazing game, different landscapes and units make the game enjoyable along with the way the map is designed but some levels are so tough, that they force you to either buy gold or watch vids to get gold...the beautiful game is also "bombarded " with ads making it a pain....
Nice game I like it but to many ads
But constantly crashes. Most of the time I can't even finish a level
I will not sure if you have been a great day and I am going to the first time to the sender and then you have been sent from my resume

The dirty little secret of that regulation, which is the same dirty little secret of Obamacare or Dodd-Frank or all of these other huge complicated pieces of regulation or legislation, is that they don't get written on their own, they get written in part by lobbyists for big companies who want to understand that the rules are going to work for them....

Why yes, we just saw a story about space stuff:
NASA hopes to send the first round-trip, manned spaceflight to Mars by the 2030s. If the mission succeeds, astronauts could spend several years potentially being bombarded with cosmic rays- high-energy particles launched across space by supernovae and other galactic explosions. Now, a study in mice suggests these particles could alter the shape of neurons, impairing astronauts' memories and other cognitive abilities. In the prefrontal cortex, a brain region associated with executive function, a range of high-level cognitive tasks such as reasoning, short-term memory, and problem-solving, neurons had 30% to 40% fewer branches, called dendrites, which receive electrical input from other cells.
It's pretty clear that Republicans are seeking to get people into space so they can expand their voter base.

Roth also has some concerns about Selphyl's safety.
"One of the problems with your own blood is that some people pass out from having their blood taken," he said. "Also, blood tends to cause an itchy after-effect. Sometimes it causes burning or discoloration. You're injecting blood into a place where blood doesn't normally reside."
The use of cosmetic fillers is on the rise, and there's a growing demand for procedures that are noninvasive and nonsurgical. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons predicts that the number of cosmetic procedures performed will exceed 55 million, which is quadruple the number done in 2005. The group also predicts that 97 percent of those procedures will be nonsurgical.
"Most of the products create instant gratification and can take five years off someone's appearance," said Tanne.
"Injectables have very little downtime and very little risk," said Roth. "They are also less expensive than plastic surgery, and in this economy, that's had a major impact."
Selphyl costs somewhere in the range of $1,100 to $1,500 per injection, which is much cheaper than a face-lift.
New fillers like Selphyl are part of another growing trend as well.
"There are more products coming to market to address very specific issues, such as fillers doing even more for longer periods of time," said Few.
"This is an exciting time -- novel technology and the development of new and promising ways to preserve a healthy appearance," he said.
While he may not be completely sold on the benefits of Selphyl, Roth is at least intrigued by its nickname.
"Vampires are hot right now. That's a sexy name, so it works."

Just how well is the West Jefferson baseball team swinging the bats these days? They just pounded the ball to the tune of 17 hits against one of the best pitchers not only in Central Ohio but the entire state.
The Roughriders (10-3, 5-1) banged around London starter and Bowling Green State University signee Zac Carey in a 9-4 victory over the host Red Raiders (3-9, 1-5) Monday, April 21.
West Jeff coach Jason Bogenrife knows how good the standout Carey is and knows how impressive his team's performance was.
"It was a great win for us," the coach said. "A lot of people look at London and their record and maybe not think it was a good win. But with Carey on the mound that's a good team.
"He's an exceptional kid and a very good pitcher, so to put up 17 hits and score nine runs off of him was something. We're really coming together offensively and we're starting to hit the ball very well."
The Roughriders wasted no time jumping on the scoreboard, plating three runs in the top of the first inning, they added another in the third to go up 4-0. The idea of getting a chance to go toe-to-toe with one of the state's top pitchers was a motivating factor for West Jeff.
"Our kids are tough and gritty and like the challenge," Bogenrife said. "He's one of the best we'll see this year. He's got really good stuff but we talk about going to the plate with a purpose and we did that (Monday).
"All the credit goes to our guys. They were ready to play."
West Jefferson is tied atop the Mid-State League Ohio Division with Columbus Academy, and while he's happy with the way his team is playing, Bogenrife knows his team has a long way to go to reach its goals.
"We're happy with where we are, but we've got a tough stretch coming up," the coach said. "We've got a good Bexley team (Wednesday, April 23), we've still got Academy at our place and will face London again. We're playing well right now but we've got a long way to go."
London rallied from the 4-0 deficit to tie the game 4-4 in the bottom of the fifth, but the Roughriders answered with two runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh.
Zach Campbell and Alex Wihl were on the mound for the Roughriders, limiting the Red Raiders to just seven hits.
Columbus Academy 6,
Madison-Plains 3
The Golden Eagles (3-10, 1-5) traveled to MSL co-leader Columbus Academy (10-3, 5-1) Monday, April 21, and came home with a tough 6-3 loss.
Plains' pitcher Nate Jeffers allowed single runs in each of the first four innings and two more in sixth in the loss.
Coach Zach Durban's team scored all three of its runs in the third inning. Madison-Plains will be back in action Wednesday, April 23 when it travels to Grandview. It will be home Thursday, April 24 against Fredericktown and will host Whitehall Friday, April 25. All three games will start at 5:15 p.m.
Shekinah Christian 8,
Gahanna Christian 4
The Flames (1-9) picked up their first victory of the season with a 8-4 triumph over host Gahanna Christian Monday, April 21.
Mitchell Yoder was 2 for 4 at the plate with two runs scored, Eric Troyer was 3 for 4, while Trent Helmuth was 2 for 4 and also picked up the win with a complete game pitching effort. He allowed eight hits, surrendered three earned runs and struck out five.
The game was tied 4-4 heading into the the seventh inning when the Flames rallied for four runs.
Jonathan Alder 3,
Westland 2
The Pioneers continued to improve on the season as they picked up a victory over Westland Monday, April 21.
Alder won two of the three singles courts and split the doubles courts to improve its overall record to 4-2 on the season. It was the fourth straight win for the Pioneers.
Logan Woods defeated Bryan Moreno 6-3, 6-4 at first singles and Nick Beachy topped Grant Bare 6-7, 6-2, 6-2 at second singles. Lucas McClaskie came up short 6-4, 6-4 against Zach Prak at third singles.
The doubles pair of Anthony Dresvyabbikov and David Salzer sealed the team win with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph at second doubles. The first doubles pair of Dermot Hutchinson and Sam Recker fell 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.

The new LG Door-in-Door Refrigerator (model number LPXS34886C) merges unique design and a maxed-out storage capacity.
The LG LFC22770ST performs well enough to be worth your consideration if you're looking for a small French door fridge, but you can find fridges that cost less and make better use of limited space.
While we love the idea of greater connectivity with our kitchen appliances, this LG oven doesn't deliver enough in cooking prowess or connectivity to merit a strong recommendation.
The battery displays a capacity of 1,810 mAh, greater than the 1,560 mAh battery in the iPhone 5S. But would that mean the new phone could last longer on a single charge?
We've covered a lot of oven-testing ground. Here's a recap of all of our electric and induction reviews to date.
The company says it has expanded the availability of voice-over LTE to 15 markets, while its higher capacity network reaches 16 markets.
It's the biggest, most visible, most oft-used appliance in your home. If you're considering an upgrade, these eight mid-range models are worth a look.
China's Sooall gives exercise an eco edge, letting you charge your batteries while you pedal away.
A surprising variety of options fill the French door fridge category. These 8 fridges run the gamut from a simple $1,600 model to a $6,000 behemoth.

PORTLAND Kyron Horman appeared for the second week in a row on the cover of 'People' magazine, the July 2nd edition, wearing a Nike t-shirt.
Investigators hope new national publicity will help them find missing Portland seven-year-old Kyron Horman.
A photo of Kyron that was taken the morning before he disappeared was added to the cover of 'People' in late June. (See cover photo below) The highly read publication also featured a story about the search for Kyron.
NBC s 'Today Show' has already featured the search for Kyron in several of their newscasts and now CNN Headline News has also added coverage of the case in the cable network's justice-themed interview debate show hosted by Nancy Grace. In addition, 'America's Most Wanted' planned to broadcast details on the case over the weekend.
Police hope this major coverage will lead to even more tips.
We've gotten post cards sent to our main headquarter with tips on it. This morning I actually got a call on my cell phone from someone in the Midwest, said Lt. Mary Lindstrand with the Multnomah County Sheriff s Office.

IMMIGRATION: Advocates seek solutions for deaths in desert
Nearly 200 die in desert crossing each year
TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION, Ariz. ---- In late April, a Vista father of five children died in the Arizona desert trying to re-enter the country illegally and became one of the nearly 200 people who die each year in that stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Authorities recovered the remains of 191 people along the Arizona border with Mexico in fiscal year 2010-11, according to the U.S. Border Patrol . Nearly half of the deaths occur in the Tohono O'odham Nation, an Indian reservation about the size of Connecticut that shares 76 miles of desolate, desert border with Mexico.
Human rights groups in Arizona have been trying to stem the number of deaths by placing water along the desert trails and providing food and medical assistance to the migrants. But the advocates say federal immigration authorities and the Tohono O'odham tribal government should do more to help prevent the deaths.
Mike Wilson, policy director for Border Action in Tucson and a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation, places water in the desert for thirsty migrants to drink. But he said the Tohono O'odham Police Department, at the request of the tribal government, confiscates the water he leaves on the reservation lands.
"Within the context of human beings suffering and human beings dying on the reservation, as far as I am concerned, that's a crime against humanity on behalf of the Tohono O'odham Nation," Wilson said.
Officials with the Tohono O'odham Nation did not return requests for comment.
Despite the tribal government's objections, Wilson places one-gallon jugs of water along reservation trails used by migrants. He also maintains a water station, made up of two plastic 55-gallon barrels, about 10 yards south of the border, which he fills with fresh water about every two weeks.
The Tohono O'odham tribe's traditional homeland stretches into the Mexican state of Sonora. The Border Patrol maintains a gate that tribal members can use to visit family members who live in Mexico.
Wilson, a former Presbyterian pastor, uses the gate to drive his truck into Mexico and refill the water barrels.
On a recent Sunday, Wilson refilled the barrels with more than 40 gallons of water. The water station is within eyesight of Border Patrol agents, who watch the gate. But migrants use the water station anyway because many of them have consumed the water they carried before they even enter the United States, Wilson said.
Without water, the 20- to 30-mile walk to the nearest highway can be deadly.
Of the 94 bodies recovered by authorities in Arizona between October 2011 and April 2012, more than 60 were only skeletal remains, making it difficult to determine their cause of death, according to data obtained by the human rights organizations from the Pima County Forensic Science Center in Tucson. Most of the others were determined to have died of hypothermia, dehydration or exposure. About half a dozen of the bodies had gunshot wounds.
One of the deaths was that of Ildefonso Martinez Sanchez, 39, of Vista. He was attempting to return to his family after being deported in March.

In the earlier stages of
heart failure, some people need to urinate more
frequently during the night than during the day. This happens because during
the day, fluid and blood can pool in your legs while you are standing,
resulting in less blood in the circulation and, as a result, less blood flow to
the kidneys.
At night when you lie down, blood and fluid in your legs reenter the
circulation and therefore increase the blood flow to your kidneys and the
amount of urine produced.
If your heart failure gets worse, your kidneys receive less and less
blood, both during the day and at night. As a result, the kidneys produce less
urine. If you are urinating infrequently or not at all, tell your doctor right
away because it may mean that the amount of blood your heart is pumping is
critically low.
