Thursday evening, December 5th, Santa had arrived in Dillon with one of his reindeer for Dillon's annual lighting celebration.
Amidst all the excitement for the season, and while Santa was inside the La Riva building visiting all the children, the reindeer jumped the enclosure, leading everyone on a healthy jog and sight-seeing trip through town.
Wanting to make sure he got in all the sights of Dillon, and the most fun, swimming across Dillon Reservoir to the Roberts Tunnel, the reindeer wandered throughout the night and most of the next day taking in the beauty of the area.
Finally seeing enough in this trip and after Santa brought some of his other reindeer to see the area, the sight-seer decided to return to his friends assisted by Dillon Police Officer Bryan Wagner and Summit County Animal Control Officer JJ Swirka.
The reindeer are now in preparation for the upcoming flight around the world on Christmas Eve. The reindeers made a promise to return next year to again add to the season's festivities and delight of Children.

IDG Ambassadors
International Day of the Girl Ambassadors are champions for the day and the campaign in their countries, and working with WAGGGS throughout the year to continue to support our "World We Want for girls. Girls in the lead" campaign.
Michelle Alvarez, Philippines
Asia Pacific Region
My name is Michelle Alvarez, and I am a young adult volunteer at the Girl Scouts of the Philippines. I worked in the public sector, and I recently finished my Master's in International Development Policy.
I've been a Girl Scout since I was eight years old, and will be a Girl Scout forever. My experiences in Girl Scouting have made me a person who loves adventure, loves to plan and organize and engage with people. Inspiring girls and empowering them is what excites me.
My heart beats for girls and young women, and I want to see them in a world free of discrimination and violence.
Iombonana Andriamampionona, Madagascar
Africa Region
I am Iombonana, Girl Guide of Madagascar, I am from the association Fanilon'i Madagasikara. I am a member of the national team and youth committee.
I am really proud to be nominated as ambassador of International Day of the Girl and I will give my best to be equal to the expectation. I think it is an opportunity for us to increase public attention about girls' issues and it is also the first step to build the perfect world for girls.
Mai Hassouna, Egypt
Arab Region
Hi, my name is Mai and I'm a Girl Guide leader from Alexandria, Egypt - a beautiful city by the Mediterranean Sea.
I hold a bachelor degree in Management Information Systems from the Faculty of Commerce – Alexandria University and currently work as a Training Manager with an international hotel chain in my home town.
I'm very passionate about girl guiding and have been a Girl Guide leader for 7 years now. Volunteering as a Girl Guide leader is such a privilege. It's a very rewarding yet humbling experience, when you see that you've made a difference in the lives of young girls.
Being an Arab girl, one cannot stress enough how important it is to have an "International day of the girl". What I will write will probably be cliché, however, it has to be said: In our Arab culture girls are considered to be a burden, a hindrance to success, an accessory, an object and more, while – if brought up correctly – girls are able to change the world. That's what I stand for as an ambassador.
Eleni Beveratou,Greece
Europe Region
My name is Eleni and I am a Girl Guide from Greece. I currently live in London and work as a typeface designer.
I have been in the Girl Guides since the age of four and later on was for several years a leader in the Brownies. Right now, I am a member of the Europe Region External Representatives Group which works on external relations at European level.
Coming from a Girl Guiding association where boys are also accepted I have learned how to empower girls and educate boys about the fact that we are different yet equal. Therefore, I am really looking forward to spreading this message even more.
Lorena Obando, Costa Rica
Western Hemisphere Region (Spanish speaking)
My name is Lorena and I am a Minor Branch Leader (ages 7 to 10 years) at Guides and Scouts of Costa Rica, which is a Scouting and Gudiing National Organization (SAGNO) . I've been in Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting for 12 years and I also work at the national level of my Member Organization. I am also a Medicine student.
As one of the Western Hemisphere's Ambassadors for the International Day of the Girl, I will support WAGGGS' commitment to girls. I know this will be a great experience and there are lots of fun and learning opportunities coming soon. I also want to help people to change the world and imagine more for girls!
Kourtney Pratt, Canada
Western Hemisphere Region (English speaking)
I am Kourtney Pratt from the Girl Guides of Canada. I have been an adult member of the Girl Guides of Canada for the last three years as a leader with a Brownie Unit (7 to 8 years).
I am 22 years old and am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Dance and Political Science.
It is an incredible honour to be selected as an Ambassador and I look forward to contributing to bringing awareness and change about the continued discrimination and violence towards girls. I am passionate about empowering girls to become confident women that will promote a positive change for generations to come.
Maria Agustina, Argentina
I am María Agustina from Girl Guides Argentina. I have been a Girl Guide for 17 years and I love every minute of it. At present, I am a Brownie leader but I have also worked with Guides.
I am 23 years old and I am an anthropology student reaching the end of my course.
As one of the Western´s Hemisphere Ambassadors for the International Day of the Girl I look forward to supporting WAGGGS initiative to empower girls by raising awareness about important issues such as gender inequality and discrimination. I consider this to be a unique opportunity to promote a positive change towards the world we want for girls.
Kate Kemmerer, USA
My name is Kate Kemmerer and I am part of the Girl Scouts of the USA. I currently serve as a volunteer with my local council, Girl Scouts of Eastern PA, having just finished my degree in Economics and Spanish.
I served as a volunteer at Our Cabana in the summer of 2013, and there I was inspired by the power of the international Guiding and Scouting movement to make a difference in the world. I know how important it is to support girls and young women, and I want to make sure others do, too. I want to give back to Girl Scouting what it has given me.
Saudia Edghill, Guyana
My name is Saudia Edghill and I am a member of the girl guiding family for approximately ten (10)years. For the past three years, I have held the post of a young leader of the Guyana Girl Guides Association. It is indeed an honour and privilege to be selected as an Ambassador of the International Day of the Girl 2013. I care very much about children and I'm very passionate about their empowerment, especially empowerment of girls. Throughout this year I intend to focus my energies towards delivery while working towards the promotion of human rights of girls and building the perfect world for girls. Girls are the most important agents of change and have a crucial RIGHT to a world free of discrimination.
Prisca Randriamampihavana, Madagascar
My name is Prisca Randriamampihavana and I am part of the national board of the Girl Scouts of Madagascar as member of the Youth Committee Commission. My diverse tasks range from GS trainings, joint projects implementation to resources mobilization, events and communication.
Passionate on children and youth development, I find worldwide girls and young women present situations dreadful and their future even worse if we let it continue. Even with all the ambition and hope we could gather on earth, a drastic change for a perfect world for girls will not happen by itself.
Decisions and responsibilities taking, manners and behaviors changing in favor of girls and young women have to be initiated, promoted, taught, shown and applied at all levels to become effective and I am more than happy to be part of this genuine campaign initiated by WAGGGS.
Each small action towards this change counts and this is what I want people to realize since change starts from self.
Sharmeela Karmali, Tanzania
My name is Sharmeel Karmali and I'm a newly recruited young leader in the Tanzania Association of Girl Guides (TGGA). My journey as a Girl Guide started when I was only ten as a brownie. At that time the only thing I knew was how much I enjoyed going to meetings and how it always made me feel closer with other girls. Girl Guiding has helped me build my self esteem, form better relationships with others as well helped to strengthen my principles and values hereby making me a better person.
I have always wanted an opportunity to be able to share my experiences and knowledge with other Girl Guides and to make them feel the passion I feel about Girl Guiding. I have also been brought up in a mixture of Indian and African cultures, where boys are seen as superior to girls. I feel that if I can just inform and educate at least some girls and help them realize that they are equal to boys – I will be able to empower them to take a lead in various ways in their lives!
Zoe Kam, Hong Kong
My name is Zoe and I am a Girl Guide from Hong Kong. I am a guider of a Girl Guide company and a ranger guide as well. I am currently a nursing student and going to be a nurse in the coming year.
This is my tenth year in this heart-warming family. Guiding not only provides me with many opportunities, but also allows me to explore myself. As being selected as an ambassador of International Day of the Girls, I really hope to be part of this movement and empower girls and young women to go beyond the expectations. This will definitely be a learning opportunity and a great experience for me and other Girl Guides as well.
Chihro Yamamoto, Japan
My name is Chihro Yamamoto and I am a young leader of Girl Scouts of Japan. I am also a member of the youth committee of my local council.
I have been a Scout for 12 years and working as a leader for a year. I participated in the Helen Storrow Seminar in March 2013. I am studying for a nursing degree at university.
It is a very great honour for me to be an Ambassador for the International Day of the Girl. I look forward to encouraging girls to improve their leadership skills and speak out to change the world.
Bonne Annee Ombaku, Democratic Republic of Congo
I am a lawyer and I operate the theme in relation to realities of our country.
Xime Carreño, Ecuador
My name is Xime Carreño. I joined the Movement in 2005 and now am leader of a pre-Brownie group, the youngest members of the Association. I have been a TECHO volunteer (youth-led, non-profit organization working with families in poverty in Latin America) since 2010. My main motivations are my pre-Brownie girls and all the girls from the families with whom we work in TECHO in seeing how far they can come with just a little bit of help. Each meeting with the girls fills me with pride to see how they are developing, overcoming their fears - something we all have experienced in Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting. When I am working with the TECHO families I often ask myself if I have had the opportunity to grow and develop as a new leader, then why can't they? This is why I am an ambassador every day for girls - making sure that it is not just a question but a reality.

Since re-opening after a complete refurbishment in 2007, the Pitlochry Golf Clubhouse has proved to be very popular with all golfers, visiting parties, local families and tourists. The large wooden decking area has been a great attraction where golfers and visitors can relax in the sunshine away from the noise and traffic of the town centre.
Watch the golfers playing down to the 18th green and enjoy the views of Ben-Y-Vrackie with a refreshing drink and good food, a perfect way to spend time in Pitlochry.
The clubhouse has an open license and is open to all and serves a wide selection of filled rolls, light meals and home baking throughout the day. A great value evening menu and wine list make the restaurant the ideal spot in town to enjoy good company and quality food (from local suppliers).
Golfing parties of any number can be accommodated and a special menu package is available on request for booking.

Lebanese soldiers stand guard at a checkpoint outside of the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh, near Sidon, Tuesday, June 19, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammed Zaatari)
SIDON, Lebanon: Calm returned to the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh in Sidon Saturday following clashes that left three people wounded.
Members of the Islamist group Jund al-Sham exchanged fire with an official in the Fatah movement Friday night, prompting the Palestinian Follow-Up Committee to convene for an emergency meeting.
The committee described the event as unfortunate and merely a personal dispute with no political or security dimensions, in a statement released Saturday.
It also affirmed the need to preserve stability and security in the southern camp, adding that problems should be resolved within the framework of the committee.

Expert: Economy to blame for rise in officer-involved shootings
Less than four months into 2014, and already the Phoenix area has seen 13 officer-involved shootings, five of them in March alone.
On Tuesday, an officer-involved shooting shutdown an intersection of downtown Phoenix. On March 3, a veteran officer was killed by a suspect and another was wounded.
While lack of respect for authority figures may be a societal problem, one Valley expert says the economy may actually be to blame for the increase.
"It appears that -- and this is in consultation with officers and academics here in the Valley and nationally -- we're seeing a trend...that in the last five to seven years, law enforcement numbers have dropped dramatically, due to economic downturns," Dr. Jeffeory Hynes, professor of criminal studies at Glendale Community College, told 92.3 KTAR's Mac and Gaydos Wednesday.
Case in point: Phoenix used to have 3,400 law enforcement personnel just a few years ago, Hynes said, but now, the city only has about 2,800.
To compensate for fewer employees, law enforcement agencies are removing their officers from "non-critical conditions," such as neighborhood and drug-free school programs.
"What we're finding is that you're losing touch with your communities," Hynes said. "The communities are not seeing their officer and making that connection to their officer as 'this is my officer, Officer Jeff or Officer John or Officer Bill,'" Hynes said.
The trouble with losing an officer's community identity, Hynes added, is that he or she then becomes "just a part of the system and not part of the community."

7 Things We Learned From the Promo For Revenge Season 2, Episode 4: "Intuition"
As much as we loved last night's episode of Revenge, we're already jonesing for some more of our favorite Hamptonites. And the juicy promo for Episode 4, "Intuition," got us more excited than Ashley Davenport at a billionaire singles party.
As usual, it's filled with delicious details and all in 30 brief seconds! Here's what we were able to uncover:
1) Emily Tells Amanda That Her Mother's Still Alive
Our guess is that Fauxmanda has reached the end of her stripper pole and is ready to give up on helping with Em's revengenda. To keep her loyal, Emily finally reveals that her mother is alive and Victoria is the only one left who could know her whereabouts.
2) Amanda's Baby Shower Is Held at Grayson Manor
This is just a hunch, but we see Emily's hair pulled back (as we see in later shots at the hospital) and behind Amanda are some blue cupcakes. We know that she's having a boy, and Emily's been banished from Grayson Manor. One of the few ways she could get back in would be as the godmother to Mandy's baby.
3) Victoria Talks About Kara Wallace Clarke To ...
We hear Emily's voice saying that David Clarke lied about her mother being dead. Then we cut to Victoria telling someone, "He would rather have you believe that she was dead than to tell you the unspeakable truth."
The implication is that Victoria's telling this to Emily, but we highly doubt that Ms. Thorne has revealed her true identity to her No. 1 nemesis. Instead, she's probably talking to Amanda Clarke, who confronted her per Em's request.
4) Aiden Is All Tied Up
So far we've seen Aiden get hit over the head with a wine bottle and get thrown into a dumpster. In this promo we see him falling over with tape across his mouth and hitting the ground hard. Homeboy just can't catch a break.
5) Nolan and Padma Get Frisky
Considering Padma was acting like a jealous high schooler with a crush on last night's episode, we think Nolan will grant her wish come Sunday. The two are looking mighty cozy as they lean in for a smooch.
6) Victoria, Charlotte, and Emily Hover Over a Body on the Ground
Charlotte screams and commands that someone (probably Grayson lapdog Ashley) call 9-1-1. No, shawty is not fire-burning on the dance floor, but someone is down for the count. Considering Emily, Charlotte, and Victoria are surrounding the victim, we have a feeling that Fauxmanda is the one doing the worm. And from the spoiler photos, we know it lands her in the hospital.
7) Daniel Takes It Off!
Not a huge plot point, but a fantastic addition to our wall of Daniel Grayson pics. Here he strips off the suit and tie and opts for a white T-Shirt. How very "working class" of you, Danny.

About This Product
CLASSIC DINER - Slate Bed Pool & Dining Table
Product ref: classicdiner
Constructed using commercial quality materials and manufactured in the UK, the Classic Diner is a professional quality table that has been designed with the functionality of a dual-purpose table in mind.
The Classic Diner is a professional quality pool table that has been designed to combine the needs of a serious pool player with the functionality of a stylish dining table.
This superb table plays just like a commercial table that you would find in a pub or club. It features a classically styled body and legs that evoke the traditional look of the billiards table, with a modern twist to suit your home dining room.
Although the Classic Diner is a domestic freeplay pool and dining table, it has been manufactured to the same standard as a commercial coin operated table.
It is also unique in the world of pool diner tables, as when the balls are potted they return to a ball drawer at one end, which stores them there when the dining top is in use.
Free Table Accessories:
Classic Diner Pool Table Specifications
Silver, Slate, French Navy, Powder Blue, Navy & Orange
Tan, Maroon, Nutmeg, Sage, Paprika & Pink
Windsor Red, Gold, Cherry, Ranger Green & Royal Navy
Room Size
When choosing your pool table it is important to consider the size of the room or site you wish to place it in.
It is recommended that there is enough room to fully extend your pool cue from the edge of the table to the walls of the room.
The dimensions below are ideal sizes, however if space is a bit tight why not also purchase a "Junior" or half-size cue to help with any tricky tight angles.
Branding & Customising
Liberty Games can also offer a cloth branding service.
As the popularity of the games room and games room equipment increases, often customers wish to either brand their cloths as a form of marketing at corporate events or within a commercial location, or customise their cloth with a logo personal to them for a home games room.
The price can vary depending on the type of print so please contact Liberty Games for an individual quotation.

Delivery & Installation
You can choose to have your table delivered for self-assembly or delivered and installed. We use a dedicated firm who have years of experience in fitting and levelling slate bed pool tables. For more details please see Delivery Information below.

Reviewed by: Sarah S
We chose the Classic model because the ball collection area can be hidden under the table. I don't think you can spot that it is a pool table when it's been dressed for a dinner party. I like that and my husband likes to play on it a genuinely good decision!
Reviewed by: Mr Woodhouse
We would highly recommend this pool/dining table. We wanted a bigger dining table for our conservatory and found for the same price we could get a pool table as well! Bargain! Well constructed and plays perfectly. The delivery and installation team were also excellent and very accomodating.
The two-piece top was a lot heavier than expected which means that it doesn't slip or move about when used as a dining table.

Brunei and Singapore: Abiding ties of close neighbours
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong begins a three-day visit to Brunei today, and reflects on the kingdom's long and close ties with Singapore in a rapidly changing region
Published on Oct 29, 2012 8:29 AM
I AM delighted to be visiting Brunei again. My first visit was almost exactly 30 years ago, in November 1982. I was then serving in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), and came to visit our soldiers training in Temburong. His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah graciously granted me an audience. I recall being impressed by His Majesty's vision for Brunei, care for his people and personal warmth towards me.
Since then, I have visited Brunei many times. Each time, I am struck anew by the closeness and warmth of our special relationship. My first overseas visit after I became Prime Minister was to attend the wedding of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, together with my predecessors Goh Chok Tong and Lee Kuan Yew.
The foundation of this friendship was laid by Mr Lee and the late Seri Begawan. They first met in 1960 when Singapore's Yang di-Pertuan Negara Yusof Ishak visited Brunei. Mr Lee and the Seri Begawan were drawn together because Singapore and Brunei then faced similar strategic challenges. We were the two smallest states in South-east Asia. The colonial era was ending. Both leaders were focused on securing their countries' futures in a tumultuous and dangerous region. Both negotiated to join Malaysia. In the end, Singapore joined the new federation while Brunei did not. But in the process, the two leaders got to know each other well, and nurtured an enduring friendship between our two countries.
Both Brunei and Singapore have long since become independent states, and have made tremendous progress in the past half-century. Brunei has prospered under His Majesty's wise leadership, and Singapore too has been transformed. Our partnership has blossomed.
We cooperate in many fields, including economics, education and defence. As small countries, we value free trade and a stable international order. We take the world as it is, and make common cause with other small countries to advance our interests. In every international forum, whether it is Asean, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum or the United Nations, Brunei and Singapore work closely together to promote these goals.
Defence cooperation is an important pillar of our partnership. I would like to thank His Majesty and the government and people of Brunei for generously allowing the SAF to train in Brunei for so many years. Generations of Singaporean soldiers have trained in Temburong. They will never forget climbing Mount Biang or crossing Sungei Batu Apoi, or the beauty of Brunei's verdant jungles.
Brunei has been a kind and gracious host. Singaporeans were deeply touched by the overwhelming concern and support from Brunei's leaders and people during the tragic SAF training accident in Temburong recently.
Another longstanding arrangement between Singapore and Brunei is the Currency Interchangeability Agreement (CIA), which allows our currencies to be used as customary tender in the other country.
The CIA has made it convenient for Singaporeans and Bruneians to travel between our two countries, and facilitated trade, investment and tourism. The CIA reflects the longstanding friendship and mutual trust that our countries share. This year marks its 45th anniversary, evidence of its continuing relevance and value.
On this visit, I look forward to exchanging views with His Majesty on regional and international developments, and to meeting the Crown Prince, ministers and officials to renew existing friendships and forge new ones. I hope to explore new opportunities for cooperation. For example, we can do much more in education, where we enjoy a long partnership. Several of our schools are twinned with one another and we share strong alumni networks.
By enhancing our education links and promoting exchanges between our youth, we will lay the basis for strong relations into the next generation. I therefore look forward to visiting Universiti Brunei Darussalam and interacting with Brunei students during this trip.
Brunei will take over the Asean chairmanship next year. Asean is at a critical juncture. The global environment is challenging. Regional issues like the South China Sea require an Asean response that is neutral, forward-looking and promotes the peaceful resolution of disputes.
Our goal of an Asean Community by 2015 is also drawing close. Brunei practises a low-key but effective diplomacy, working quietly behind the scenes to foster Asean consensus. Singapore will give its fullest support to Brunei during its Asean chairmanship.
In an uncertain and rapidly changing world, the depth and strength of Singapore-Brunei relations provide a steady anchor for both of us. Singapore greatly values this special friendship, and will work with Brunei to enhance it for our future generations.

EVANS RETURNS TO THE LINEUP: Junior guard R.J. Evans (Salem, Conn.) is once again among the top players in the Patriot League this year, after missing the majority of the 2010-2011 season due to injury and receiving a medical redshirt. In 13 games played this year, Evans has averaged 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 steals, while hitting 48.0 percent (73 of 152) of his field goal attempts. During Tuesday's game at Yale, he recorded a season-high 24 points, four assists, four steals and three rebounds. Previously at No. 9 Connecticut, Evans led the team with 15 points and four rebounds. He also played well against Sacred Heart, totaling 12 points, six rebounds, three steals and two assists. Some of Evans' other top games this season have come against Providence (21 points, four rebounds, three steals, two assists), the College of Charleston (16 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two assists), New Hampshire (14 points, six rebounds, four steals, two assists, two blocks), Boston College (14 points, five rebounds, four assists, four steals), Fairfield (14 points, five rebounds, two assists), Harvard (13 points, three assists, two rebounds, two steals) and Hartford (10 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals). Last year, he averaged 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in only eight games played, while hitting 46.3 percent (31 of 67) of his field goal attempts. During the 2009-2010 campaign, Evans averaged a team-best 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest. The 2008-2009 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, Evans has now totaled 1,049 points, 399 rebounds, 175 assists and 108 steals over the course of his Holy Cross career. He has scored in double-figures 61 times during his collegiate career and has hit the 20-point mark nine times, including a career-high 31 points against Bucknell in the 2009 Patriot League Tournament quarterfinals. Evans became the 46th 1,000th-point scorer in school history against Sacred Heart on Dec. 9, 2011.
HOLY CROSS FACES TOUGH SLATE: Even though Holy Cross went 6-8 in non-league play this season, it faced the toughest non-conference schedule in the Patriot League. The Crusaders' non-league schedule is ranked as the 136th-hardest in the nation by CBSSports.com. The only other team in the Patriot League to play a schedule ranked better than 250th is Bucknell at 150th, but the Bison played a game against Division II West Alabama which does not factor in the strength of schedule rankings. Five of the Crusaders' non-conference losses this year came against teams ranked in the top 100 of the ratings percentage index: Connecticut (fifth), Harvard (37th), the College of Charleston (59th), Fairfield (84th), and Yale (92nd).
CRUSADERS IN PATRIOT LEAGUE OPENERS: Holy Cross is beginning its 22nd season of play in the Patriot League with the contest against Lehigh. During their first 21 years in the conference, the Crusaders have posted a 14-7 record in their first Patriot League game of the season. Holy Cross has gone 9-3 in league openers over the last 12 years, including four wins over Lafayette (86-57 in 2005-2006; 84-74 in 2006-2007; 81-67 in 2008-2009; 70-65 in 2010-2011); two victories over both Colgate (68-51 in 1999-2000; 68-55 in 2000-2001) and Army (61-45 in 2002-2003; 60-32 in 2003-2004); and one win over Navy (70-57 in 2001-2002). The only losses during that time came at Bucknell in 2004-2005 (59-43) and at Lafayette in 2007-2008 (60-52) and 2009-2010 (84-74). The Crusaders also stand 13-8 all-time in their first Patriot League home game of the season, with an 8-4 mark since 1999-2000.
DUDZINSKI STEPS INTO STARTING LINEUP: Sophomore forward Dave Dudzinski (Elburn, Ill.) has become a key player for the Crusaders in the low post positions. In 14 games played this season, Dudzinski has averaged 10.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks, while making 51.0 percent (50 of 98) of his field goal attempts. During the victory at Dartmouth, he recorded 14 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots. Previously against San Francisco, Dudzinski totaled 20 points and six rebounds, while hitting 11 of 12 free throw attempts. He also had a big game at Providence, posting career highs of 21 points and 11 rebounds, and connecting on nine of 13 shots from the field. A few of Dudzinski's other top performances this year have come against Maine (20 points, five rebounds, two steals), the College of Charleston (14 points, five rebounds, two steals), Boston College (10 points, six rebounds), Harvard (six points, eight rebounds, career-high four blocked shots) and Sacred Heart (six points, nine rebounds). Last season, he was named to the 2011 Patriot League All-Rookie team, after averaging 4.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 27 games played, while hitting 54.8 percent (51 of 93) of his field goal attempts. Over the course of his collegiate career, Dudzinski has now totaled 264 points, 171 rebounds and 22 blocked shots, and made 52.9 percent (101 of 191) of his field goal attempts.
YALE RECAP: R.J. Evans had a season-high 24 points, four assists and four steals, but Holy Cross was defeated by Yale 82-67 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater on Jan. 3, 2012. The Bulldogs were led by Greg Mangano with 27 points, 13 rebounds and four blocked shots. Devin Brown scored 22 points for the Crusaders, while Dave Dudzinski added seven points and a team-best five rebounds. Reggie Willhite totaled 10 points and seven rebounds for Yale, with Isaiah Salafia posting 10 points and four assists. The Bulldogs led 13-9 early on, before scoring the next 11 points to increase their lead to double figures. Yale would build its advantage to 22 points with five minutes to go in the first half (35-13), before the Crusaders finally came alive with a quick 8-0 run. Holy Cross would go on to trim the margin to 11 points (39-28) late in the first half, before the Bulldogs took a 41-28 lead into the locker room. Yale brought its lead back up to 18 points (51-33) early in the second half, and was still up by 15 (59-44) with 12:32 left to play. The Crusaders then used a 13-2 spurt over the next 3:36 to trim the margin down to just four points (61-57). It was still a four-point game (63-59) with 8:18 remaining, before the Bulldogs responded with a 14-4 run to bring their lead back to double digits. Holy Cross would get no closer than 13 points in the closing minutes, as Yale posted a 15-point victory in the end. The Crusaders committed only nine turnovers on the night, but were outrebounded by the Bulldogs 44-25. Yale also shot 56.6 percent from the floor (30 of 53), while Holy Cross hit just 36.9 percent of its field goal attempts (24 of 65).
BROWN ENJOYING ANOTHER STANDOUT SEASON: Senior guard Devin Brown (Baltimore, Md.) has been one of Holy Cross' top players over the last few years, and was selected second team All-Patriot League in 2010-2011. In 14 games played this season, he has averaged 15.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists, while making 40.0 percent (30 of 75) of his shots from three-point range. During Tuesday's game at Yale, Brown totaled 22 points, two rebounds and two steals. Previously at Dartmouth, he led the team with 18 points and four rebounds, including 16 points in the final 7:04 as Holy Cross rallied for the win. Brown also had a huge game against Boston College, totaling 32 points, five rebounds and five assists. Some of his other top performances this season have been against Sacred Heart (22 points), San Francisco (21 points), Hartford (17 points, four assists, two rebounds), Harvard (17 points), New Hampshire (15 points, three rebounds) and the College of Charleston (14 points, four rebounds). In 29 games played last season, Brown averaged a team-best 15.4 points per contest while hitting 35.9 percent (60 of 167) of his three-point attempts and 80.6 percent (104 of 129) of his free throws. He finished the year ranked fifth in the Patriot League in three-point field goals made, sixth in both scoring and free throw percentage, and 14th in three-point percentage. Brown scored a career-high 33 points against Yale on Jan. 5, 2011, while netting 32 points and hitting seven of 15 attempts from three-point range against Navy on Feb. 16, 2011. During the 2009-2010 campaign, Brown averaged 12.5 points per contest, while scoring in double-figures 16 times. He also hit 44.8 percent (64 of 143) of his three-point field goal attempts and 77.3 percent (85 of 110) of his free throws in 2009-2010. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Brown has now totaled 1,217 points, 217 rebounds and 132 assists, while hitting 38.2 percent (166 of 434) of his three-point field goal attempts and 79.6 percent (293 of 368) of his free throws. He became the 45th 1,000-point scorer in school history against Lafayette on March 2, 2011.
CRUSADERS AT THE HART CENTER: Holy Cross currently owns an all-time record of 324-130 at the Hart Center, including a 4-1 mark so far this year. The Crusaders posted their 300th win in the building against Sacred Heart on Nov. 14, 2008. Holy Cross had a 23-game winning streak at the Hart Center from Feb. 15, 2006-Jan. 2, 2008, which was the longest streak in the history of the building and the sixth-longest home court winning streak in the nation at the time. In 2006-2007 the Crusaders posted a perfect 14-0 mark at the Hart Center, setting a school record for the most home victories since they moved into the building. During the Hart Center's history, Holy Cross has posted a winning record at home in 30 out of 36 seasons, while recording double-figure home victories 16 times. The Crusaders stand 111-38 at home since the beginning of the 2000-2001 season, including a 70-18 record against Patriot League foes.
THE LAST MEETING WITH LEHIGH: Devin Brown totaled 26 points, three assists and two rebounds, to lead Holy Cross to an 89-76 victory over Lehigh at the Hart Center on Feb. 26, 2011. Andrew Keister finished with 20 points, a season-high 16 rebounds and four blocked shots, for his seventh straight double-double. Andrew Beinert added 15 points, four assists and three rebounds, while Mike Cavataio totaled 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. The Mountain Hawks were led by C.J. McCollum with 19 points and five rebounds, and Gabe Knutson with 15 points and five boards. Lehigh started the game hot, jumping out to a quick 9-2 in the first two and half minutes of play. The Crusaders responded with an 8-2 run, but the Mountain Hawks would eventually lead by eight points (20-12) and were still up by seven (30-23) with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. Holy Cross then scored seven straight points to tie the score, and later used another 7-0 spurt to take a six-point lead (47-41). Lehigh came back to trim the margin to one point (47-46) heading into the locker room. The Crusaders began the second half on fire, using an 8-0 run to build their lead up to nine points (55-46). Holy Cross' lead would stay between four and nine points for the next several minutes, and the Crusaders would hold a 74-68 advantage with 8:30 left to play. An 11-2 run by Holy Cross then put the game away, with Brown scoring eight of his points during that time. Lehigh would get no closer than 11 points in the closing minutes, before the Crusaders finally posted a 13-point win. Holy Cross shot 51.7 percent from the field, 53.3 percent from three-point range and 73.1 percent at the free throw line, while holding the Mountain Hawks to 37.9 percent shooting from the floor. The Crusaders also held a 47-28 rebounding advantage, and blocked shots on the day.
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: This year marks the 93rd season of Holy Cross men's basketball. The Crusaders own an overall record of 1305-878 (.598), while making 24 postseason tournament appearances — 12 trips to the NCAA Tournament and 12 to the National Invitation Tournament. In the history of collegiate basketball, Holy Cross is one of only 16 schools to have won the NCAA Tournament (1946-1947) as well as the National Invitational Tournament (1953-1954). Throughout its history, Holy Cross has had six first team All-America selections, sent 10 players to the National Basketball Association, had four players inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had 23 players drafted by professional teams, had three players go on to coach professionally, and had 15 players who have coached in college.
BURRELL TAKES OVER AT THE POINT: Freshman Justin Burrell (Dumfries, Va.) has taken over as Holy Cross' starting point guard this season. He has started all 14 of the Crusaders' game this year, averaging 7.0 points, 4.1 assists and 2.0 rebounds per contest, while hitting 80.5 percent (33 of 41) of his free throw attempts. During the victory over San Francisco, Burrell totaled 12 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals. Previously against Sacred Heart, he recorded 10 points, six assists and two steals. Burrell also played well against New Hampshire, scoring 13 points and hitting eight of nine attempts from the foul line. A few of his top performances earlier in the season came against Providence (career-high 15 points, six assists, two rebounds, two steals), Hartford (10 points, six rebounds, three assists), the College of Charleston (10 points, three assists), Harvard (six points, two assists) and Boston College (five points, career-high seven assists). With his 10 points in the season opener at the College of Charleston, Burrell became the first Crusader to hit double figures in his collegiate debut since R.J. Evans had 15 points against Sacred Heart in 2008.
SHOTS FROM THE HEART: Holy Cross assistant coach Dan Engelstad is taking part in Shots from the Heart, a project created by CollegeInsider.com to help raise awareness for the growing problem of heart disease. Engelstad will compete against other collegiate assistant basketball coaches from around the nation in a free throw shooting tournament, which will benefit the American Heart Association. In the first round of the tournament, Engelstad downed Kurtis Townsend of Kansas 51-50. He now moves on to face Rasheen Davis of Xavier in the second round. Both Engelstad and head coach Milan Brown took part in Short from the Heart last year, with Brown making the round of 16 and Engelstad advancing to the second round.
BROWN NOW IN SECOND YEAR WITH CRUSADERS: Milan Brown is in his second season as the head coach at Holy Cross in 2011-2012, with an overall record of 14-29 and a 7-7 mark in Patriot League regular season games. With the win over Army on Feb. 9, 2011, he recorded the 100th victory of his collegiate head coaching career. Brown's overall career record now stands at 109-149 (.422). The 16th head coach in the history of the program, he came to Holy Cross after spending the previous seven seasons as head coach at Mount St. Mary's.

A POLYMER that makes submarines vanish will soon be helping sports physiotherapists treat injuries. The plastic will ensure their ultrasound devices don't dangerously overheat muscle tissue - or do nothing at all.
Until now, there has been no easy way to check the power output of physio ultrasound machines, which are often used for treating sports injuries to limbs. As a result, many machines deliver acoustic power that can be at least 30 per cent adrift of the level they are set to deliver, according to Stephen Pye, a medical physicist in Edinburgh.
Such machines can produce local hot spots in muscle, in some cases damaging tissue. And some machines are simply broken and have no output at all. It can take months before anyone notices the fault, says Pye.

The Federal Government has approved the deployment of a battalion, comprising 776 soldiers, to Mali to boost a sub-regional military effort to reclaim the crisis-torn country from Islamist insurgents who have taken over the northern part of the Sahelian nation.
With the approval, over 100 of the troops will depart for Mali in the next 24 hours for peacekeeping in the war-ravaged West African nation, in line with the mandate of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Admiral Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim, Tuesday announced government's approval for the troops to leave for Mali at a press briefing in Abuja, which was addressed by the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Colonel Mohammed Yerima.
Ibrahim said out of the battalion, a company, comprising 190 soldiers, was due to depart the country for Mali in the next 24 hours.
"The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) would continue to deploy personnel to Mali until a battalion is deployed," he said.
He said that the deployment was based on President Goodluck Jonathan's order, a decision, which he noted was in line with Nigeria's peacekeeping role and in the spirit of African brotherhood.
"Already, the Force Commander, Major General Shehu Usman Abdulkadir, is on the ground in Mali," he added.
The CDS said a technical team of the Nigerian Army and Air Force was already in Mali to facilitate the eventual full deployment of fighter aircraft and support elements.
According to him, the deployment of troops was in line with a request by the Malian government, that security forces from ECOWAS be deployed to assist the country in reclaiming the northern part of the country from Islamic militants.
He further stated that the Nigerian troops would work with troops from other West African countries and some other western forces, including the French, which were already in the country.
THISDAY learnt that the troops would be departing from their final base at the Nigerian Army Peacekeeping Centre, Jaji, Kaduna State.
Jonathan on Monday had unfolded plans by Nigeria to deploy troops in Mali this week.
The president, while hosting members of the diplomatic corps to a cocktail at the State House, Abuja, had said the deployment had become necessary in order to help restore peace to the country.
In the light of ongoing events in Mali, the European Union Commission has also said it is taking stock of the situation and is considering a possible action which would include the rapid deployment of EU Training Mission (EUTM) troops to train and advise the Malian troops in their onslaught against Al-Qaeda backed rebels.
It also said it was considering financial and logistical assistance for the deployment of African-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA) and other direct support to the government of Mali.
The Vice-President/High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Ms. Catherine Ashton, in a statement issued in Brussels, Tuesday said the commission already had held a crisis platform meeting on the Mali situation.
The situation in Mali, the EU said, highlighted the need for accelerated international engagement to restore the territorial integrity of Mali, in line with the UNSC Resolution 2085.
"It will accelerate preparations for the deployment of a military mission to Mali to provide training and advice to the Malian forces and it is taking action to support the rapid deployment of the African led international Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA)," it said.
"The EU remains in close touch with other international actors, including the African Union and ECOWAS to ensure a united international response to the situation," Ashton added in the statement released by the EU Commission in Abuja.
The EU reiterated that it would implement sanctions against any group of individuals affiliated to terrorist groups in Mali while calling on the Malian government to finalise work on a transitional roadmap to restore a democratic government in the country.

ATI Mobility Radeon X700: ATI Mobility Radeon X700 is the middle class graphic card for notebooks of the X000 series (the 1000 series). Its performance can be compared with NVIDIA Go 6600. Technically it is comparable with the desktop X700 graphic chip + energy saving functions.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

15.1": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. The 15.1 inch display is used for the 4:3 format and therefore nowadays hardly used and replaced by 15.4 and 15.6 inch formats. The 4:3 format does not have explicitely disadvantages, rather it is a question of taste. When TV-watching on the notebook it is decisive, in which format the current programm is offered. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

Comments On May 14, 2015:I was a little skeptical when I bought this, but it did what it said it would do. Totally woke up the bottom end and exceeded my expectations. Buy your self one know!

Comments On May 10, 2015:I had a hard time spending the cash for this, but know that it was installed I would have paid more! It really woke up the bottom end of my bike. It did exactly what it said it would and fits in tight. I have not had a single problem. I have and will recommend this.

Comments On Mar 26, 2015:I can't honestly tell if this made any difference to my power curve whatsoever. I don't think that I would recommend it.

Comments On Dec 08, 2014:I found that this product did help my throttle response, and low and midrange power, it smoothed out my power curve, but after about 20 mintues or so of riding rough motocross track it rattles out, and your bike begins to bogg and become more of a saftey hazard then doing you any good. I might have gotten a faulty one that didnt fit quite right..... If it stayed in i would have given it a 5

Comments On Nov 23, 2014:I was skeptical about buying the snap but I did buy it and it's awesome the low end power my bike has at altitude 6000 ft is great I can't believe this little part did so much and it will not rattle out of place

Comments On Sep 23, 2014:made a noticeable difference in the snap off idle. Recommend it.

Comments On Apr 25, 2014:I was a little hesitant about the claims for such a simple modification. Snap works as claimed. Improved bottom end torque and low end throttle response. Simple installation, anyone can do it. Fits snug on my KTM and will not vibrate out as some reviews say. One of the best improvements for the dollar I have done.

Comments On Mar 20, 2014:Does what they say it does. Cheap and easy.

Comments On Mar 09, 2014:I was a little sketchy at first with how much this cost, and how simple it was. Being a bigger guy, I need little tweaks to get me off the line faster. This piece gave me a huge difference in throttle response. I haven't taken it out for a hard ride just yet, but I can already feel the throttle response and low end come alive. I've heard of this piece not staying in place, and rattling loose. Can't say that it won't do that, but it has stayed in place for me. Only down side would be that it does seem a little pricey for this part though. I've seen different models that claim to do the same thing for cheaper.

Hello from Maine
Hi folks, my name is Stew and I have been humbled by my efforts to build a brick oven.
Well, now that the snow has melted and the weather is starting to warm. I (crazily) decided to add a brick oven to my backyard for the family. With limited funds, I decided to put it in myself. I think I must be crazy. I quickly found that I am NOT a stone mason and now have a whole lot of respect for those folks.
I know now that many here have poured a slab foundation and constructed the C shape block stand with a slab on top. I did not because of concern of cost and lack of know how. Instead I dug down to pure sand (they back filled my yard with sand when they built it) then laid down crushed stone, tamped and dry stacked blocks in a rectangle. I then filled every other hole with rebar and concrete. So now I'm left with this stand that I plan on filling with sand and a layer of insulation (clay and vermiculite).
Unfortunately the stand is not completely level when you measure it, but it looks pretty good from a distance. I'm going to continue to do the best I can with the pizza oven following plans here and getting advice from forum folks. Wish I had started here but I didn't. Right now I'm shopping around trying to find the lowest cost on firebrick. So far I've found $2 per brick.
I'll post pics of my block stand as soon as I can figure it out. I have a driving desire to complete this thing.
Re: Hello from Maine
I would hesitate to build on a dry stack foundation, especially if it is on sand.
Good luck.

Here are some pics of my block stand. I was told that sand was very compact and would not heave or move very much. Also, I thought the FB guidelines recommended dry stacking. Could anyone explain? Thanks
Re: Hello from Maine
Dry stacking and "at least" pouring every other hole is fine by FB standards. However, they do recomend placing it on a concrete slab. Your pics don't resemble dry stacking. They look like the blocks were layed in mortar. However, I don't see a reinforced concrete slab supporting it. My suggestion: Don't go to any further "expense" until you do have a slab to build it on. That may mean disassembling the blocks now instead of the entire oven later.

Just saw a posting in our forums from Engineers of Tomorrow - apparently the Parts Pack for my Mayan Adventure book has shipped and some are receiving it now. Here's a link to the posting, including an itemized listing (and part count) of all that's included.
For those not familiar with this, it's a package of pieces that LEGO Education has released. The Mayan Adventure book was written using the NXT Retail Kit and certain parts are NOT found in the NXT Education kit - until now. This Parts Pack provides the pieces needed to build the five robots in the book for those who own the Education Kit.

This is great news.
While the three parts packs that LEGO sells are good, none of them have Hassenpins.
Also, 7-hole beams are in short supply in the retail kit, so these packs will be appreciated by retail buyers as well, even if they don't use them for the Mayan Adventure.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.
