The womens basketball team hosted SUNY Plattsburgh and then traveled to Western New York to face Fredonia State and Buffalo State over the weekend. On Tuesday, the Bears fell to their rival Plattsburgh, 73-32.
Junior forward Jessica Kouzan (Webster, N.Y.) led Potsdam with 14 points. The Bears then dropped their game on Friday to Fredonia State, 75-57. Senior guard Katy Briedis (Canton, N.Y. ) was the top scorer with 16 points and Kouzan recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. On Saturday, a tough Buffalo State squad defeated Potsdam, 68-49. Briedis finished with 18 points, while senior forward Adedoyin Akingba (Brooklyn, N.Y.) added 10 points.
The mens basketball team struggled in their three game SUNYAC week. The Bears dropped their home contest to Plattsburgh on Tuesday, 85-63. The Cardinals used a 33-5 run in the second half to earn the decision. Senior Mark Lake, Jr. (Harlem, N.Y.) led Potsdam with 17 points.
The Bears then hit the road to Western New York to face Fredonia State and Buffalo State. The Blue Devils were able to edge the Bears on a last second bucket in overtime to secure the 87-86 win. Freshman guard Joe Estramonte (Greenwich, N.Y.) hit a three-point basket as time expired to send the game into extra time. Senior captain Curtis Pierce (Brooklyn, N.Y.) recorded a double-double with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Senior guard Josh Lambert (Brooklyn, N.Y.) would add 18 points in the loss. On Saturday, the Bengals of Buffalo State would handle Potsdam in a 83-57 decision. Pierce was the leading scorer for the Bears with 15 points. The senior increased his point total to 1,331 and is now eighth on the Potsdam all-time scoring list.
The mens hockey team squared off against ninth-ranked Plattsburgh on Friday. The Cardinals used three second period goals to defeat Potsdam 4-1. The Bears were forced to kill four Plattsburgh power plays and only trailed 1-0 after the first period. The Cardinals opened the gates as they connected on three goals in the second period to hold the 4-0 advantage going into the third period. Sophomore defenseman Dan McCamey (Dayton, Ohio) notched the only Potsdam goal of the night in the final period of play to end the game at 4-1 in Plattsburgh favor.
The womens hockey team hosted Neumann College in for an ECAC West weekend at Cheel Arena. On Saturday, the Lady Bears held off the Knights in a 3-2 victory. Potsdam opened the first period with two goals from junior forward Alexandra Holowka (Winnipeg, Manitoba ) and freshman forward Natasha Allen (Aspen Colo.).
Freshman forward Sally Mooney (New Albany, Ohio ) would notch the game winner in the second period of play to put the Bears up 3-1 going into the final period. Neumann would attempt a comeback but solid goaltending by senior Jen Conophy (Glenmont, N.Y.) would seal the victory.
The Knights received their revenge on Sunday with a 3-1 win over Potsdam. Junior assistant captain Jenn Crawford (Burlington, Ontario) recorded the only goal for the Bears.
The swimming and diving teams participated in two meets over the weekend.
On Friday, the Bears swept North Country rival Clarkson University. The men edged the Golden Knights 149.5-144.5 and the women caimed the 133-121 victory. The Potsdam mens team was led by senior Alexander Taylor (Port Ewen, N.Y.) and junior Richie Zimmerman (Victor, N.Y.) with three individual victories a piece. Taylor claimed wins in the 1,000 free (10:33.57), 500 free (5:01.15) and the 100 breaststroke (1:00.19).
Zimmerman posted victories in the 200 free (1:50.71), 200 breaststroke (2:20.12), and 200 IM (2:02.94). The womens team had help from a host of Bears to secure the win. Sophomore Victoria Blakeslee (Gloversville, N.Y.) touched the wall first in the 1,000 free (11:51.65) and the 200 back (2:24.98). Senior Liz Ringer (Queensbury, N.Y.) closed out the meet with wins in the 50 free (26.70) and 100 butterfly (1:05.14). Junior Ghena Binzer (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) finished first in the 100 breaststroke (1:14.41) and 200 breaststroke (2:42.35).
On Saturday, the Potsdam men defeated St. Michaels College 123-110 and the women fell 120-85. Sophomore Dan Costa (Spencerport, N.Y.), freshman Tyler Zapisek (Syracuse, N.Y.) and Zimmerman were each triple winners for the men. Costa captured the 50 and 100 freestyle events in with times of 0:23.08 and 0:50.88 for solo victories. He also joined senior Ed Smith (Clay, N.Y. / Cicero-North Syracuse), Zapisek and Taylor on the winning 400 freestyle relay team, which posted a time of 3:33.3. Zapisek swam to individual victories in the 400 IM and 200 butterfly in times of 4:42.69 and 2:10.23. Zimmerman notched two solo wins in the 1000 freestyle (10:34.41) and 200 backstroke (2:06.79). Zimmerman was also on the winning 400 medley relay team (3:58.05) with freshman Chris Carlini (Endwell, N.Y.), senior Marcus Domfort (East Greenbush, N.Y.) and Taylor. Blakeslee led the women with two individual victories and a relay win. She swam to first place finishes in the 1000 (11:39.8) and 500 freestyle (5:41.4) events and joined sophomore Emily Kanoza (Syracuse, N.Y.) and seniors Kylie Barr (Ogdensburg, N.Y.) and Ringer on the first place 400 freestyle relay team (3:58.3). Barr also won the 400 IM (5:15.06) and Ringer captured the 200 butterfly (2:27.56)
Junior Richie Zimmerman is the Bears male performer of the week.
Zimmerman helped the Bears to two dual meet victories over Clarkson and St. Michaels this past weekend. On Friday, Zimmerman posted victories in the 200 free (1:50.71), 200 breaststroke (2:20.12), and 200 IM (2:02.94) to secure the 149.5-144.5 win over the Golden Knights. On Saturday, the junior notched two solo wins in the 1000 freestyle (10:34.41) and 200 backstroke (2:06.79). Zimmerman was also on the winning 400 medley relay team (3:58.05) in a 123-110 decision over the Purple Knights.
Freshman forward Sally Mooney is the Bears female performer of the week.
Mooney notched the game-winning goal in a 3-2 win over Neumann University on Saturday night. The freshman was also sworn into the ROTC that same night.
The mens and womens basketball teams will be back on the road this weekend with games Friday against New Paltz starting at 6 p.m. and on Saturday against Oneonta on Saturday at 2 p.m.
The womens hockey team is back in action on Tuesday night when they host non-conference opponent Hamilton College at 7 p.m. The Continentals defeated Potsdam 4-2 in Clinton on Dec. 4.
The mens hockey team is back in action next weekend as they end their epic 13-game road trip in Western New York. Potsdam faces Fredonia next Friday at 7 p.m. and Buffalo State at the same time on Saturday.
The swimming and diving teams wrap up the regular season next weekend as they host Oswego State on Saturday at 2 p.m.

CANTON A village resident was arrested following an investigation into child pornography found in the Woods Drive area in January, interim Canton Police Chief Victor N. Rycroft said Thursday.
Facing charges is Adam A. Gardam, 31, of 33 E. Main St., though Mr. Rycroft said Thursday that it still isnt clear how the images found their way to the rustic spot behind a residential neighborhood not far from the edge of Canton Central School District property.
On Jan. 29, village police received complaints from residents in the Woods Drive area about pornographic images found in a wooded area behind their homes. The images appeared to be printed from a home computer and were sexually explicit depictions of minors in various stages of undress, police said.
In January, Mr. Rycroft said a couple of photos were scattered on the ground and were turned over to police by adults.
Investigation led police to Mr. Gardam, and a search warrant was obtained to enter his apartment. Computer equipment, a camera and other electronics were seized as a result of the investigation, and were turned over to the Department of Homeland Security Internet Crimes Division for forensic processing, Mr. Rycroft said.
Mr. Gardam was charged with possession of an obscene sexual performance by a child, a Class E felony, for the alleged possession of 38 images.
Court documents described the images as depicting children of various pre-pubescent ages performing sexual conduct by themselves or with others, including adult males. The photos were found on a laptop computer, according to arrest papers.
Mr. Gardam was arraigned in Canton Village Court and released to the supervision of probation. Additional charges could be pending, Mr. Rycroft said.

Submission German court imposes Europe wide Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 ban->
hypnosec writes: Samsung it seems is on a losing spree as in a fresh ruling a German court has upheld Apple's claim of ban on Galaxy Tab to the point that it has also granted Cupertino a Europe wide ban Galaxy Tab 7.7 for infringing upon iPad's design patents. The court has however allowed the Galaxy Tab 10.1N to remain on sale. The Dusseldorf Regional Court ruled that Apple can go ahead and seek a preliminary ban on the Galaxy S III maker's 7.7-inch tablet. The court went a step ahead though and said that the tablet won't be banned just in Germany but it will be removed from store shelves across the whole of Europe. The news didn't turn out to be all sweet for Apple as the court has denied a ban on the re-designed Galaxy Tab 10.1N.

Did you know that over 80% of the fat in macadamia nuts is good-for-you monounsaturated fat? A 2008 Pennsylvania State University study found that after 30 days on a macadamia nut-based diet (about 37% calories from fat) participants had lower LDL (�bad�) cholesterol levels, compared to participants on a �typical� American diet (about 37% of calories from unhealthy, saturated fats). Macadamia nuts also contain the highest levels known of paimitoleic fatty acid, a beneficial fat also found in fish oils. When eaten as part of a heart smart diet, macadamia nuts can help further reduce the risks for cardiovascular disease. Mahalo!

The Monsters of Templetonby Lauren Groff
Staff Pick
Mystery, academic comedy, ghost story, literary romance... Monsters of Templeton is a rich, rewarding debut whose pieces stitch together seamlessly. A smart pleasure, it is one of my favorite (and most frequently recommended) books of the year.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the wake of a disastrous affair with her older, married archeology professor at Stanford, brilliant Wilhelmina Cooper arrives back at the doorstep of her hippie mother-turned born-again-Christian's house in Templeton, NY, a storybook town her ancestors founded that sits on the shores of Lake Glimmerglass.
Upon her arrival, a prehistoric monster surfaces in the lake bringing a feeding frenzy to the quiet town, and Willie learns she has a mystery father her mother kept secret Willie's entire life. The beautiful, broody Willie is told that the key to her biological father's identity lies somewhere in her family's history, so she buries herself in the research of her twisted family tree and finds more than she bargained for as a chorus of voices from the town's past — some sinister, all fascinating — rise up around her to tell their side of the story. In the end, dark secrets come to light, past and present day are blurred, and old mysteries are finally put to rest.
A fresh, virtuoso performance that will surely place Groff among the best young writers of today.
"At the start of Groff's lyrical debut, 28-year-old Wilhelmina 'Willie' Upton returns to her picturesque hometown of Templeton, N.Y., after a disastrous affair with her graduate school professor during an archeological dig in Alaska. In Templeton, Willie's shocked to find that her once-bohemian mother, Vi, has found religion. Vi also reveals to Willie that her father wasn't a nameless hippie from Vi's commune days, but a man living in Templeton. With only the scantiest of clues from Vi, Willie is determined to untangle the roots of the town's greatest families and discover her father's identity. Brilliantly incorporating accounts from generations of Templetonians — as well as characters 'borrowed' from the works of James Fenimore Cooper, who named an upstate New York town 'Templeton' in The Pioneers — Groff paints a rich picture of Willie's current predicaments and those of her ancestors. Readers will delight in Willie's sharp wit and Groff's creation of an entire world, complete with a lake monster and illegitimate children. (Feb.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The sense of sadness I feel at the approaching end of The Monsters of Templeton isn't just because the story's going to be over; when you read a good one — and this is a very good one — those feelings are deepened by the realization that you probably won't tie into anything that much fun again for a long time." Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"A fantastically fun read, a kind of wild pastiche that is part historical novel and part mystery, with a touch of the supernatural thrown in for good measure." Booklist
"Lauren Groff hits a home run in her first at-bat, with a novel that is intriguingly constructed and compulsively readable....Groff casts an ambitious net, and it absolutely works....And the elements do finally come together to a surprisingly satisfying end." Denver Post
"The Monsters of Templeton, a fascinating first novel by Lauren Groff, is a book with joy in its marrow....Reading this exquisite book is like swimming through warm water filled with wondrous things...floating in a kind of timelessness." San Francisco Chronicle
"Liberally peppered with old photographs, diary entries, letters, and a family tree constantly in need of revision as Willie eliminates one possibility after another spanning more than two centuries of shocking Templeton history, this is an irresistible adventure. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Lauren Groff's multilayered saga...both thrills and delights with its poignant, breathtaking prose. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
"[T]here seem to be two novels here, and they don't fit together terribly well. Flawed, but commendably ambitious and stuffed with ideas — many of them not well developed, but inspiring hope for a more disciplined second effort from this talented newcomer." Kirkus Reviews
"Ms. Groff's inexperience shows in this overcrowding, as it does in overly mellifluous turns of phrase....But it speaks well for her narrative talents that Willie Upton...holds even more interest than the elaborate events that surround her." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"The Monsters of Templeton is a bold and beautiful hybrid of a book....Lauren Groff is an exciting young novelist, gifted with an elegant prose style and a narrative ambition as deep and as serious as the human mysteries she sets out to explore." Lorrie Moore
"Groff breathes new life into her vivid characters, even those on loan from Cooper's novels....The Monsters of Templeton makes readers work, but its rewards are worth it. Groff...is a talent to watch and celebrate." USA Today
"The historical puzzle satisfies to the end, but in the present day, Groff tries a little too hard to smooth out Willie's future....Still, as a work of imagination, The Monsters of Templeton excels." Christian Science Monitor
Wilhelmina Cooper is told that the key to her biological father's identity lies somewhere in her family's history. She buries herself in the research of her twisted family tree and finds that a chorus of voices from the town's past — some sinister, all fascinating — rises up around her to tell their side of the story.
In the wake of a wildly disastrous affair with her married archaeology professor, Willie Upton arrives on the doorstep of her ancestral home in storybook Templeton, New York, looking to hide in the one place to which she swore she'd never come back. As soon as she arrives, though, a prehistoric monster surfaces in Lake Glimmerglass, changing the very fabric of the town. What's more, Willie's hippie-turned-born-again-Baptist mother, Vi, tells her a secret she's been hiding for nearly thirty years: that Willie's father wasn't the random man from a free-love commune that Vi had led her to imagine, but someone else entirely. Someone from this very town. As Willie puts her archaeological skills to work digging for the truth about her lineage, she discovers that the secrets of her family run deep when past and present blur, dark mysteries come to light, and the shocking truth about more than one monster is revealed.
About the Author

Hello, new guy, and welcome to the Brikwars forums! My name is GeneralOfDeath, also known as "that obnoxious prick", "that guy who shows up, posts something stupid, and then vanishes for six months", or on the rare occasion that I do something someone likes, "GoD", and I have taken it upon myself to write the definitive guide to the Brikwars forums for your benefit. In this guide, I will attempt to cover the basic vocabulary of the forums, provide names and descriptions of the most important, prominent, or otherwise notable members of the forum, and generally orient you as to what these forums are and are about. But first, I must ask you one simple question:
Are you the Brikwars type?
That sorted out, let's move on to the things about the Brikwars forums you need to know.
Required Reading
Bragallot: Forum battle host and creator of von Braggstein, sworn enemy of Warhead.
Colette: Also known as PandoraNuker, Beluga, PedoNuker, PedoBelugaNuker, and other such names. Once held up as the shining example of a person that needs to eat shit and die, he has become slightly more palatable in his latest incarnation, and is in fact the moderator of the New People subforum.
Elmagnifico: Creator of the Forum Code and generaly worth listening to.
Natalya: The local Goderator ascended to administrator, and arbitrary banner of all who displease her. Creator of the Assyrian Star Empire.
Piltogg: Our resident neo-nazi and the metric unit of manliness. Creator of the Akkadian Empire.
Rayhawk: The creator of Brikwars, and someone you shold fear and respect.
Silverdream: Also known as Silvadream, Silver, Silva, and the like, (s)he is THE OFFICIAL FORUM TROLL of the forums, and will stop at nothing to make you mad, confused, or otherwise emotionally manipulate you. Take anything (s)he says with a Pacific Ocean of salt.
Stubby: Rayhawk's alternate account, used for everyday matters, while his godly form attends to important announcements and other such things.
The Shadowscythe: The British creator of the Scythian Empire, and rival of Warhead.
Warhead: No words can describe Warhead. He simply is. Creator of the Immortal Empire and father of 90% of the earth's population. The bane of a man's exclusive right to his wife.
Zahru II: Also known as Zahru, and widely held as the creator of the best fantasy forum battles on the forum. Creator of the epic world of Medivo.
Zupponn: While bearing the title of "Forum Troll", Zupponn has been failing to do much in the way of trolling recently, and has been replaced de facto in his role by Silverdream.
Brik: Correct spelling of "Brick"
BrikVerse: The planes of existence that all creations related to Brikwars exist in.
MOC: My Own Creation. Esentally anything you made by yourself, not out of a kit.
Nat: Short for "Natalya". Note that using this word will get you banned for at least 24 hours, as Natalya does not take kindly to being compared to a gnat. (This is the reason for the red text at the start of this post.)
Nega-Blok: Denotes Mega Blocks or any other non-Lego building blocks.
Ossum: Correct spelling of "Awesome".
OT: Orange Transparent, a color of Lego brik commonly held as the best of all briks. Note that OT and all derivates must be colored in the "Orange" color, which must be typed in instead of using the "Font colour" window.
OTC: Orange Transparent Chainsaw, a weapon made of Orange Transparent that is widely considered the best of all weapons in Brikwars, with damage scores ranging from 4d6 to "Remove 1d6 briks from target".
Peach: A type of Lego minifigure with realistic skin tones, usually found in movie-based Lego kits. Near-universally held as inferior to the standard yellow minifigures. Hint: Don't try to be the anti-racist pro-peach faction. We already have the Peach Liberation Front, and they are the comic relief of the Brikverse.
Edit by Natalya here... It's okay to be a pro-peach faction, and we do have some legitimate ones. There is the 45th Union for example. But most armies are anti-peach and a few are mixed.
Well, yeah, but what makes the 45th worthwhile is that they have some of the best MOCs on the forums. Fine then: you can be a peach faction and be taken seriously if you actually make good tanks and the like.
