Comments about Patagonia Stretch Wavefarer Board Shorts (Men's) New:
I've owned several pairs of these shorts and Patagonia continues to improve an already excellent board short each year. They are light enough and stiched right not to chafe while sitting on your board, yet very durable, dry instantly and are robust enough to wear as a regualar shorts. They are also great for workouts since they are not too long and the cut gives enough room to move freely.

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is RIM's first ever-released Curve with a touch screen. The Curve product line is usually an expression of RIM's understanding for a budget phone and this one supposedly, doesn't make a difference. It should attract customers with a lower entry price while offering the full BB OS 7 experience.
Physically the BlackBerry Curve 9380's measurements are a svelte 109mmx60mmx11.2mm with a 3.2 inch display... weighing just 98grams makes the unlocked cell phone very pocket friendly.
The new Curve 9380 is basically a downgraded Torch 9860 – it has a less-capable processor and smaller and low-res display. The BlackBerry Curve 9380 comes with a standard set of accessories - a USB cable, a wall charger and a set of headphones are provided. In addition there is a complimentary 2GB MicroSD card as well.
The following Blackberry Curve 9380 video provides great user interface insight
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 comes with a fixed-focus single LED flash camera offering the highest resolution of all RIM smartphones. It does however, have a relatively low number of customizable settings. The image quality is about average with pleasing colors and a good amount detail.
It is incapable of capturing HD videos due in part to its lower processor clock. The best it can do is VGA clips at 30 frames per second (fps). The video quality is up, however overall audio is poor. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool. Discover select, stylus & pens, earpieces & headphones, data cables, desktop chargers, car kits and special glider gloves, accessories specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - As news of the end of the lockout broke early Sunday morning, fans, players, and business owners shouted with joy.
At 9:16am Sunday, Sabres Defenseman Mike Weber tweeted a photo of his bags already packed for training camp. "Fastest pack I've ever completed," he wrote.
According to his teammate Matt Ellis, "It was an exciting morning, to say the least." Ellis, who was watching his son's hockey game Sunday morning, was alerted to the good news on his cell phone early in the morning.
"There's a lot of these kids here that didn't get to play NHL Hockey for the first part of this year," Ellis said.
"And you can go down the list. And to get the game back on the ice here, it's huge."
Sabres goalie Ryan Miller was more apologetic than happy. He sent the following comment via text message to our Adam Benigni:
"I am relieved more than anything. It is hard to feel overly happy or satisfied with the result because of the way in which we arrived at an agreement. I am still embarrassed that we players have such a poor relationship with our league as a whole.
"It is so poor that we wasted 34 games for each club and have alienated our fans and sponsors. An apology doesn't really help right now but I would like to start somewhere with our fans, especially in Buffalo. I am sorry."
Meantime, Ellis said many of his teammates who stayed in the area are in shape and itching to get back on this ice at the First Niagara Center, which has been dark for three months.
Surrounding businesses were also celebrating the end of the lockout and the thousands of additional customers about to walk through their doors.
"There's a lot of things going on down here," said Roy Bakos, who manages the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery. "And I think having hockey back, whether it have been 42 days of nights at the arena or now 24 or 25 days, it is going to be good for downtown and good for business."
Some fans celebrated by wearing their Sabres jerseys out to the Soup Fest, where the savory taste of a salvaged hockey season was as good as anything on the menu.
"So happy. It's like a belated Christmas gift," said Danielle Miller of Amherst.
Bakos said he had already begun dreaming of a championship season.
"Shortened season or not, hopefully we get to have a parade sometime in June with a big silver thing hoisted over somebody's head. That would be awesome," he said.

CANTON Overcoming budget challenges to provide public school students with new opportunities to help keep them in the north countrys workforce was the message and goal of the 12th annual North Country Symposium.
More than 100 students, teachers, superintendents, business executives and nonprofit representatives gathered Monday in St. Lawrence Universitys Eben Holden Conference Center to discuss collaboration to help students make the transition from high school to college and the workforce.
The public schools in the north country, because theyre rural school districts, are struggling because theyre faced with a combination of factors, said James C. Shuman, chairman of the symposium steering committee.
Those factors include not receiving enough state education aid and being forced to stay within a state-mandated tax cap that makes it difficult to raise the money schools need to provide the highest quality education, he said.
With the symposium this year, we are gathering together people from all segments of our north country society to be able to invent ways the communities can provide additional opportunities for schools to make use of in times of diminished resources, he said.
Keynote speaker Douglas W. Huntley, superintendent of schools in Queensbury and former Massena Central School District superintendent, said theres a disconnect among public schools, businesses and industries.
Even in times we have fiscal stress and distress, we have to maintain a high level of academic optimism, he said. The strength of providing a solution or answer to the dilemma were facing in public schools, in my opinion, is collaboration.
Mr. Huntley said that even though districts have been forced to make budget cuts in recent years, programs with connections to business and industry must be created for students.
Two programs mentioned by Potsdam Central School Superintendent Patrick H. Brady are the Capstoner Project, a series of activities for high school students that connect them with workforce professionals and prepare them for careers, and the Potsdam Educational Opportunity Fund, a collaboration of parents, Clarkson University and the Northern New York Community Foundation that has raised nearly $200,000.
Mr. Huntley also mentioned the Early College High School Program that allows Queensbury students to take for-credit classes in manufacturing at nearby SUNY Adirondack community college.
Mr. Huntley said although the last two decades of education in the state have been standards-based or one-size-fits-all, it hasnt served all students well. Although the perception of many in the north country is that students need to move on to a four-year degree, that perception is wrong for many students and many areas of the workforce, he said.
When they come out of school they have incredible debt, he said. Theyre coming out with a degree, and many of them didnt get a degree, but they all come out with debt.
Mr. Huntley said that north country employers are looking for soft skills such as problem solving, communication, teamwork, time management, persistence, loyalty and dedication and applied academics.
Soft skills are very difficult to teach, especially within the four walls of a classroom, he said. We need to create settings in which our high school students are learning those soft skills.
Richard K. Merchant, CEO of Northern Area Health Education Center, Canton, was part of a panel discussion that included David Norenburg, director of career services at SUNY Canton, William Murray, executive director of CITEC Manufacturing Solutions, Potsdam, and Jeffrey Rickey, vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid at St. Lawrence University.
Students need to be better engaged, Mr. Merchant said. We need to get them the information they need and get them involved.
Mr. Murray said that more field trips and exposure to the workforce are essential to explain to students the importance of what theyre learning in class.
Students need to be able to talk to employers and professionals in the field that theyre considering for their future, Mr. Norenburg said.
Despite the days emphasis on engaging high school students, only one class of north country students attended the symposium.
Maggie M. Whalen, an economics teacher at Heuvelton Central School, brought her class of seniors.
I thought it would be a great opportunity for them to experience learning about their community first-hand, she said.

Ocala police have arrested the father of a 5-month-old child on Tuesday after they say the child suffered third-degree burns while in the care of her father.
Jemal Morris, 19, has been charged with aggravated child abuse after they say he told authorities he spilled hot chocolate on the infant, then later said he spilled hot formula he heated in the microwave on the child.
It's not clear what Morris spilled on the child, but detectives said they found Morris caused the injuries to the infant, which included first, second and third degree burns to her mouth, buttocks, genitals and legs that were not possible to have been self-inflicted.
The child spent over a week in the hospital being treated for her injuries. Police said the child is now with her mother and is doing well.

|Victim Identified in Friday Fatal Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 13 May 2013 12:47
The NC State Patrol has identified the man found dead early Saturday morning near the scene of a wreck from Friday night, but the investigation into the fatal crash continues. Sgt. Henley identified the deceased man as 52-year old Alberto Pineda of Spruce Pine, Pineda's body found about a half mile downstream
in the Toe River from the crash site, the body found just after sunup Saturday morning. Sgt. Henley said the GMC Sierra SUV carrying five crashed traveling US 19E, running off of the road to the left as they were headed in the direction of the Mitchell County line. The SUV ran off of the road at about 8:45 PM and overturned, with mostly minor injuries reported for the four occupants found at the scene—the most serious said to be suffering a broken collar bone. But the fifth person—possibly the driver—was not found as dusk turned to darkness, and even after an extensive rescue squad search of the area around the crash scene. Family and friends of the man were first back out to search early Saturday morning, and just after 7am, there was a report that a body was found in the Toe River, near where Winters Lane crosses over the river. Avery deputies converged on the scene and turned the matter back over to the State Patrol, with the body sent for an autopsy to determine the identity of the man and the cause of death. Sgt. Henley identified the man as Alberto Pineda, but said that there were still a number of factors to determine in the fatal wreck investigation.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this Phase IV pilot study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and satisfaction of a nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)sparing regimen for participants fully suppressed on an atazanavir/ritonavir based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)regimen plus emtricitabine/tenofovir (Truvada). Several pharmacologic factors support this concept including the favorable drug interaction between atazanavir and raltegravir. Participants will be randomized to either continue on their current regimen or one of two study arms (atazanavir 300mg plus ritonavir 100mg daily plus raltegravir 400mg twice daily or atazanavir 300mg twice daily plus raltegravir 400mg twice daily). Participants will be followed for 48 weeks for safety, tolerability, and satisfaction. After baseline, the participants will have six clinic visits for evaluation and labs.

A Hogansburg man faces a federal indictment alleging he conspired with another man to transport illegal aliens into the United States, and three others also are named in the indictment stemming from a February incident.
Ian R.E. Tarbell is charged with conspiracy to transport aliens, transporting aliens and bringing aliens to the United States. The charges are contained in a grand jury indictment handed up Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse. Oleh Solomon, a citizen of the Ukraine, also is charged with conspiracy to transport aliens and transporting aliens. Two Polish nationals are charged with unlawful re-entry into the country, having previously been removed only to return Feb. 24.
According to criminal complaints filed in the action, Border Patrol agents observed a white Mitsubishi Galant warranting elevated suspicion because it was making numerous movements around the parking lot of Walmart on Route 37 in Massena with no one getting in or out.
Just before 8 p.m., a white Cadillac Escalade pulled into the lot and parked next to the Galant, with four people getting out of the Escalade and into the back seat of the Galant.
An agent followed the Galant containing six passengers onto Route 420 before halting it.
Mikita Palaukov, the driver, and Mr. Solomon told agents they were in the United States legally, although Mr. Palaukov allegedly admitted the other four passengers were illegal aliens.
Mr. Palaukov was named in the indictment.
Simultaneously, other agents followed the Escalade to a residence in the village, where agents saw the driver, later identified as Mr. Tarbell, go inside, come out and drive away in a Chevrolet Silverado onto North Raquette Road.
The vehicle was halted on ONeill Road, where Mr. Tarbell allegedly admitted he knew he was transporting illegal aliens from St. Regis Village, Quebec, to Massena and was being paid $450. According to court documents, one of the Polish nationals told agents he had entered the United States from Canada by sled.
Mr. Tarbell has been released on his own recognizance, while Mr. Solomon is in U.S. marshals custody pending a detention hearing. The status of the two Polish citizens was not available.

The Privilege Of Watching J.R. Smith
Matthew FalkenburyIn an article for the New Yorker, author Will Leitch talks about J.R. Smith and all the things he brings to the Knicks in his own special way.
"We're not sure we remember a more giddily entertaining Knicks player than J.R. Smith. How can it possibly be that the Knicks are only paying this guy $2.8 million? Even when he is doing one of those infuriating J.R. Smith things — and there have been fewer of them this season — you know it's out of effort, creativity, and flat insanity. He's impossible not to watch, and we haven't even started in on his Twitter feed yet. If you are looking for someone to take a highly contested, falling away, twisting, contorted, barely looking last-second shot in a tie game you probably deserved to lose but somehow found a way to hang in despite yourself … J.R. Smith is your guy."
It is common knowledge amongst Knicks fans that J.R. Smith is really two players, instead of one. There is "Good J.R." and then there is "Bad J.R.".
When you see him take 27 shots to get 27 points and commit a dangerous, even borderline dirty foul last night, you can consider that "Bad J.R." But when you are down two with 24 seconds left in the game and he hits two extremely tough shots in row, one at the buzzer, to win that game for you, that is "Good J.R."
He has moments where he can make you scratch your head wondering just what in the world he is doing out there. For example, in Charlotte he passed up a go ahead two on one fast-break layup so he could, instead, try to win it at the buzzer. But then, he will make you rise out of your seat and say how much you love him. For example, his buzzer beater on the very next play.
The nightly check in to see when was his last tweet the night before and if that has an effect on his performance is treatment most players don't get. You also don't see them admitting to the media that they partied too much and didn't work hard the season before without being questioned about it first.
J.R. Smith is quickly becoming my favorite player on the Knicks, and the most popular player outside of Carmelo, because you just never know what he is going to do next.
One minute he doing something strange, the next, he is doing something beautiful. The magic that is Earl Joseph Smith the Third is one that nobody but himself will ever truly understand. But, when you think about it, we are lucky, because we get the privilege to try to figure him out during the next Knicks game and hopefully for many years to come.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Gamma interferon is a synthetic (man-made) version of a substance naturally produced by cells in the body to help fight infections and tumors. Gamma interferon is used to treat chronic granulomatous disease and osteopetrosis.
Gamma interferon is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done mostly in children and it is not expected to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of gamma interferon in the elderly with use in other age groups.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
If you are injecting this medicine yourself, use it exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use more or less of it, and do not use it more often than your doctor ordered. The exact amount of medicine you need has been carefully worked out. Using too much will increase the risk of side effects, while using too little may not improve your condition.
Each package of gamma interferon contains a patient instruction sheet. Read this sheet carefully and make sure you understand:
If you have any questions about any of this, check with your health care professional.
While you are using gamma interferon, your doctor may want you to drink extra fluids. This will help prevent low blood pressure due to loss of too much water.
Gamma interferon often causes flu-like symptoms, which can be severe. This effect is less likely to cause problems if you inject your gamma interferon at bedtime.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.
Store in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Discard any unopened vials that are left at room temperature for more than 12 hours.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
This medicine commonly causes a flu-like reaction, with aching muscles, fever and chills, and headache. To prevent problems from your temperature going too high, your doctor may ask you to take acetaminophen before each dose of gamma interferon. You may also need to take it after a dose to bring your temperature down. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully about taking your temperature, and how much and when to take the acetaminophen.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

When I stopped vibrating like a gong, I replied that I was familiar with the graphic novel and would be happy to help out.Now, I should explain that my excitement resulted from Watchmen, a 12-issue miniseries published in 1985, being considered by many fans as the Citizen Kane of superhero comic books. Director Zack Snyder, Production Designer Alex McDowell, and Art Director Francois Audouy took great care to make their film as faithful as possible to the graphic novel. If faced with a choice of antagonizing a million rabid Watchmen fans – or a physics professor from Minnesota – well, I know which choice I'd make (and I'm the physics professor from Minnesota!).

The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbartby Jesse Bullington
Staff Pick
I recommend this book with trepidation, though I enjoyed the dark, cruel humor within. My wife put it down after reading the first couple chapters, deterred by the graphic cruelty of the titular brothers Grossbart. A thick-skinned reader, one who finds the squelch of bodily fluids to be chuckle-inducing, may find hours of enjoyment in this nasty little book. So read on and enjoy the nasty, brutish, and ultimately short adventures of the brothers Grossbart!
The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart is a hilariously vile folktale that follows the murderous and debauched Grossbart twins as they grave-rob their way across medieval Europe, leaving behind a trail of blood and vomit. Darkly funny, but not for the squeamish.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Hegel and Manfried Grossbart may not consider themselves bad men — but death still stalks them through the dark woods of medieval Europe.
The year is 1364, and the brothers Grossbart have embarked on a naive quest for fortune. Descended from a long line of graverobbers, they are determined to follow their family's footsteps to the fabled crypts of Gyptland. To get there, they will have to brave dangerous and unknown lands and keep company with all manner of desperate travelers — merchants, priests, and scoundrels alike. For theirs is a world both familiar and distant; a world of living saints and livelier demons, of monsters and madmen.
The Brothers Grossbart are about to discover that all legends have their truths, and worse fates than death await those who would take the red road of villainy.
"With liberal inclusion of vomit, gore and turnips, Bullington's bizarre debut follows two monstrous siblings across 1364 Europe and the Middle East as they seek ever-richer graves to rob. The Crusades, the papal schism and the Black Death all make appearances, as do the obligatory witches, priests and knights. In addition to robbing, torturing and murdering innocent peasants, the brothers dispatch demons and imitation popes while debating theology and the nature of mercy, e.g., finishing a victim off rather than leaving him for the crows. The mix of grimmer-than-Grimm fairy tale tropes, spaghetti Western dialogue ('Yeah, can't suffer no traitorous churls to keep on bein traitorous') and medieval history is striking and often funny, but it may not be compelling enough to keep readers slogging along with the brothers' endless travels and copious letting of bodily fluids." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Whether readers enjoy this amusing, skillfully distasteful experience depends on the strength of their stomachs and the extent of their tolerance for intimate acquaintance with unpleasant characters. Discomfiting, disgusting and at times as grotesquely pleasurable as picking at a scab." Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Jesse Bullington spent the bulk of his formative years in rural Pennsylvania, the Netherlands, and Tallahassee, Florida. He is a folklore enthusiast who holds a bachelor's degree in History and English Literature from Florida State University. He currently resides in Colorado.

Last campaign season at this time, my neighborhood had erupted in yard signs, which advocated for an even split of Democratic and Republican candidates. Today, a few lonesome signs hint that voters aren't as fired up about candidates, and they're downright sick of this dreary, endless campaign.
The debates perked things up a bit. Partisans could root for their guy, as they would in a boxing match, but the debates themselves are just one more reminder that our democratic process has been hijacked.
Former Gov. Gary Johnson, campaigning for president as a Libertarian, has run a spirited race, as we expected him to, and he's developed a following, despite being shut out of the debates by the two major parties and the networks. So the issues and our choices boil down to two well-worn views.
Johnson has lately become a hero of the long crusade to open the debates after filing a complaint with the FCC and a lawsuit. He found the walls around the debates more difficult to scale than Mount Everest.

Transport Chaiyaphum
As a province somewhat off the typical tourist route, Chaiyaphum is best reached via private car or public bus. However, it is possible to take a train or plane to nearby Ubon Ratchathani an then a short bus to Chaiyaphum. Once there, it may be easier to get around with your own car, but there are standard forms of local transport available for visitors: i.e. songtaew, motorbike taxi, and tuk tuk.
From Bangkok's Hua Lumphong Station there are both rapid and express trains to Nong Khai's Bua Yai Station. From there passengers can take a bus 51 kilometers to Chaiyaphum. For more information, please contact the Travel Service Center of the State Railway of Thailand at Tel. 1690, 0 2220 4444, 0 2220 4334, 0 2621 8701 or visit www.railway.co.th
1. From Bangkok, take Highway No. 1 (Phahonyothin Road) to Saraburi. Turn right onto Highway No. 2 (Mittraphap Road) and turn left into Highway No. 201 at Sikhio District, passing through Dan Khun Thot and Chatturat Districts into Chaiyaphum, a total distance of 330 kilometers.
2. From Bangkok, take Highway No. 1 (Phahonyothin Road) through Saraburi; at the Phu Khae Intersection take Highway No. 21 to Chai Badan District. Then, take Highway No. 205, passing through Thep Sathit and Chatturat Districts into Chaiyaphum province.
Busses from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit 2) to Chaiyaphum depart daily. The trip takes approximately 5 ½ hours. For more information, please contact Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit 2) at Tel. 0 2936 2852-66, Chaiyaphum Bus Terminal at Tel. 0 4481 1493, Air Chaiyaphum Co., Ltd. at Tel. 0 4481 1556, Nakhonchai Air Co., Ltd. at Tel. 0 4481 1739, 0 4481 2522, Chaiyaphum Chong Charoen Co., Ltd. at Tel. 0 4481 1780 or Fax. 0 4481 1760, Chaiyaphum Tour Co.,Ltd. at Tel. 0 4481 6012 or visit www.transport.co.th.
There are no airlines servicing Chaiyaphum. The nearest airports are in Khon Kaen and Nakhon Ratchasima, respectively 150 and 119 kilometers away. From either it is possible to get ground transportation to Chaiyaphum.
As in most rural Thai provinces there are typically songtaews that follow established routes around the provincial capital and between towns within the province. Songtaews, motorbike taxis, and some form of tuk tuk are usually available for private charter as well.

CANTON In an auspicious opening weekend, St. Lawrence Universitys hockey team once again rose to the challenge to finish off the University of Maine on Saturday night and complete the schools homecoming weekend with a flair.
The Saints made it a clean sweep of the Hockey East foe for the second straight year.
Brian Ward scored the game winner with 4 minutes, 54 seconds remaining and Greg Carey followed with a pair of successive goals, including a tally just 48 seconds later, as the Saints downed Maine, 5-2, in a non-conference game before 2,310 at Appleton Arena.
I think its good for our team confidence, Carey said. I think overall we played our systems well and we played hard. Guys were out there blocking shots and showing heart the first weekend of the season the kind of heart you need the last weekend of the season.
Carey finished with a four-point night and goalie Matt Weninger made 33 saves, including stopping 18 of 19 shots, in the third period for the Saints (2-0).
This is an awesome start, Ward said. We showed a lot of toughness and character and just stuck with it. We showed some resilience by bouncing back after they tied the game and we found a way to win.
The Saints have won all four meetings with the Black Bears dating back to last season when they won two games in Orono, Maine.
I thought we came out slow, we knew they were going to respond after last night because theyre a well-coached team, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said of Maine. Its tough to sweep a team ... but once again in the third period we found a way to get it done and thats really nice to see.
Much like in Fridays game when the Black Bears closed to within a goal in the second period, the Saints responded.
I think its exciting for us to kind of see how guys perform under the big pressure, Carey said.
After Matt Anthoine tied the game for Maine at 2-2 with his power-play goal at 12:00 of the third period, Ward responded with the go-ahead goal, with Gunnar Hughes assisting, three minutes later.
We played a poor second period and a real good third until we let them get to us, Maine coach Dennis Red Gendron said. We made mistakes at a critical time of the game and they made us pay.
Ward took a pass from Hughes and ripped a drive from the top of the slot that eluded Maine goalie Martin Ouellette (33 saves).
That was a great play by Gunnar who came into zone, had a little time and pulled up, Carvel said. And Pat Doherty drove the net, which opened up room for the developing play for Brian, who got rid of the puck real quick.
Carey responded moments later by scoring on a blast not far from where Ward took his shot to provide St. Lawrence with a 4-2 advantage and then added an empty-net goal with 1.4 seconds left.
Weninger has stopped 124 of 128 shots in four wins against Maine.
Thats what we need him to be, Carey said. Hes a crucial part of our team and when hes making great saves, its exciting to know that when we make a mistake, hes there to bail us out.
Freshman defenseman Gavin Bayreuther and senior assistant captain Jeremy Wick scored a goal each for the Saints. Wick provided the Saints with a 3-2 lead entering the final period with a tally with 7.7 seconds left, with Carey assisting.
Both Ward and Bayreuther have scored a goal in each game to start the season for the Saints.
Were getting contributions from our freshmen, Carvel said. Plus, Carey scored those two late goals. Thats the scoring balance that we need.
The Saints will take another early-season trip to the Midwest as they play at Ferris State at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

PAWTUCKET -- It appears that an arrest has been made in the puppy dumping case, according to a police source.
On Dec. 19, a puppy, locked inside a filthy pet carrier, was found inside a Dumpster near the intersection of Harrison Street and West Avenue.
Animal Control Director John Holmes said the puppy was found at around 7:35 a.m. by some passersby who heard the animal crying and called police. Since the discovery and rescue of the puppy, offers to adopt him have poured into the Pawtucket shelter. Read Donna Kenny Kirwan's complete story in Tuesday's newspaper.

Just what I needed
Reviewed By:

I knew this was not a custom fit so I had no problem with the loose fit. It was exactly what I wanted to keep my leather seats in my Lexus from getting stained from blue jeans. It was an easy fix for me. Thanks for the correct description as always.
It does what it claims

I purchased this to cover the driver's seat in my Dodge Ram 1500 Quadcab after mountain biking. It slips on easily, and keeps the seat clean. The hole for the headrest is pretty big, so it requires a little attention when placing it so it doesn't slip down, but overall, it does what I wanted at a reasonable price. A carrying bag would be a nice touch, I keep mine in a trash bag in the back seat.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry that these were not to your liking. They have a backing that helps keep them from moving around, but being instant seat covers it is possible for them to slide around as you get in and out of our vehicle.

This works for exactly what I purchased it for. Often I leave the top off my Jeep and get caught by a quick rain storm while I am at work or the morning dew settles in. When that happens I just pull this out and put it over my seat so I don't have a drenched back. Also works as a barrier when I store the freedom top pieces in the back of the Jeep.
Wanted to love these
Reviewed By:

I ordered two, one for each car, because our leather driver seats are staining from the dye in blue denim. I wanted to love this cover. But it flaps all over the seat. The hole for the headrest is pretty large, so the seat cover pulls down until the back of that opening is up against the headrest, meaning there's a really big opening down the middle of the seat back, that just won't stay up around the headrest. The cover is two layers of fabric, and the top layer tends to pull over the bottom layer that's trying to "stick" to the seat. So the inside edge of the seat now shows the underside fabric of the cover. And without staps of any kind, it doesn't stay in place. It slides every time I get in or out to the vehicle. Not bad in the car, where I sit down on the cover, vs. our SUV where I have to sit up to the seat and slide over......had to remove all together from that car.

The soft seat cover was exactly as described in the catalog. I had expected it to be of quality as are all of the items that I have ordered from Autosport. I have encouraged several of my friends to place orders emphasizing the quality and especially quick delivery! One improvement that I would like to see for this item is replace the elastic band around the back with one or more wider bands for a tighter fit. Thanks

Pac-12 Road Report: Ducks 'came for two and that's the goal'
Tempe, Ariz-- Can the third time be the charm?
During the first two weeks of Pac-12 play, Oregon seemed somewhat satisfied with a win in the first game of the weekend, only to settle for a split. Now, the Ducks are again starring down at a conference sweep, but that's easier said than done on the road in the desert.
Thursday night, the now 12-5 Ducks, improved to 3-2 in league play with a 67-58 win in Tempe, the program's first since 2007.
Once up 11-points in the first half, Oregon fell behind by four in the 2nd half. That's when they cranked things up on defense. Oregon benefited from 21-points on 16 Arizona State turnovers. Now the question is, will the good Ducks show up Saturday in Tucson? Oregon is 3-0 in conference play when shooting 50-percent or better.
"In the Pac-12 there are so many teams that have capable scorers, a lot of even teams with a lot of guys who can score," said Devoe Joseph. "Defense is really key, so if we win the defensive battle, the intensity will be good."
"Hey, any win right now (is big) for everybody, just the margin for error goes down," said head coach Dana Altman. "Everybody knows each other."
"We can't be content with this win," said Tony Woods. "We came for two and that's the goal, to leave with two."
After bruising his knee and being helped off the floor in last Sunday's home loss to Cal, Johnathan Loyd was listed as a game-time decision versus the Sun Devils, but anyone doing the "Dougie" in the pregame warm-up circle was good to go.
"Oh yeah, adrenaline, right when those lights come on I am ready to play," said Loyd, who played 18-minutes. "Adrenaline is going to kick in, and I am ready to go right away."
The adrenaline should be flowing for Loyd and company Saturday for a nationally televised game with Arizona at 12:30 PM.

Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Womanby Robert K. Massie
2012 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Peter the Great, Nicholas and Alexandra, and The Romanovs returns with another masterpiece of narrative biography, the extraordinary story of an obscure young German princess who traveled to Russia at fourteen and rose to become one of the most remarkable, powerful, and captivating women in history.
Born into a minor noble family, Catherine transformed herself into Empress of Russia by sheer determination. Possessing a brilliant mind and an insatiable curiosity as a young woman, she devoured the works of Enlightenment philosophers and, when she reached the throne, attempted to use their principles to guide her rule of the vast and backward Russian empire. She knew or corresponded with the preeminent historical figures of her time: Voltaire, Diderot, Frederick the Great, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Antoinette, and, surprisingly, the American naval hero, John Paul Jones.
Reaching the throne fired by Enlightenment philosophy and determined to become the embodiment of the "benevolent despot" idealized by Montesquieu, she found herself always contending with the deeply ingrained realities of Russian life, including serfdom. She persevered, and for thirty-four years the government, foreign policy, cultural development, and welfare of the Russian people were in her hands. She dealt with domestic rebellion, foreign wars, and the tidal wave of political change and violence churned up by the French Revolution that swept across Europe. Her reputation depended entirely on the perspective of the speaker. She was praised by Voltaire as the equal of the greatest of classical philosophers; she was condemned by her enemies, mostly foreign, as "the Messalina of the north."
Catherine's family, friends, ministers, generals, lovers, and enemies—all are here, vividly described. These included her ambitious, perpetually scheming mother; her weak, bullying husband, Peter (who left her lying untouched beside him for nine years after their marriage); her unhappy son and heir, Paul; her beloved grandchildren; and her "favorites"—the parade of young men from whom she sought companionship and the recapture of youth as well as sex. Here, too, is the giant figure of Gregory Potemkin, her most significant lover and possible husband, with whom she shared a passionate correspondence of love and separation, followed by seventeen years of unparalleled mutual achievement.
The story is superbly told. All the special qualities that Robert K. Massie brought to Nicholas and Alexandra and Peter the Great are present here: historical accuracy, depth of understanding, felicity of style, mastery of detail, ability to shatter myth, and a rare genius for finding and expressing the human drama in extraordinary lives.
History offers few stories richer in drama than that of Catherine the Great. In this book, this eternally fascinating woman is returned to life.
"The Pulitzer-winning biographer of Nicholas and Alexandra and of Peter the Great, Massie now relates the life of a minor German princess, Sophia of Anhalt-Zerbst, who became Empress Catherine II of Russia (1729 — 1796). She was related through her ambitious mother to notable European royalty; her husband-to-be, the Russian grand duke Peter, was the only living grandson of Peter the Great. As Massie relates, during her disastrous marriage to Peter, Catherine bore three children by three different lovers, and she and Peter were controlled by Peter's all-powerful aunt, Empress Elizabeth, who took physical possession of Catherine's firstborn, Paul. Six months into her husband's incompetent reign as Peter III, Catherine, 33, who had always believed herself superior to her husband, dethroned him, but probably did not plan his subsequent murder, though, Massie writes, a shadow of suspicion hung over her. Confident, cultured, and witty, Catherine avoided excesses of personal power and ruled as a benevolent despot. Magnifying the towering achievements of Peter the Great, she imported European culture into Russia, from philosophy to medicine, education, architecture, and art. Effectively utilizing Catherine's own memoirs, Massie once again delivers a masterful, intimate, and tantalizing portrait of a majestic monarch. (Nov.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Written dramatically and almost visually, Massie's Catherine may attain the classic status that his Peter the Great (1980) and Nicholas and Alexandra (1967) already have." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Massie delivers a fascinating account of dog-eat-dog politics in 18th-century Europe and the larger-than-life Russian empress who gave as good as she got." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] rich, nuanced examination of Russia's lone female leader." The Daily Beast
Book News Annotation:
Massie, winner of a Pulitzer Prize, presents a narrative biography of Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia, centering on her 34-year struggle to rule backward Russia using the ideals of the Enlightenment philosophers. Covering her life from childhood to death, the book reveals the human drama of her rule, offering details on her relationships with friends, enemies, family, and lovers, in addition to analysis of how she coped with political crises. The book is illustrated with color photos, color historical paintings, and b&w maps. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Win or lose, it's how you see the game. Despite the recent struggles of the Blueshirts, tonight's rival matchup against the New York Islanders will have a unique twist as it will be broadcast in 3D HD.
While this is still a growing technology, this will mark the first live sports event ever broadcast in 3D. For those who haven't seen it yet, take a ride down to your local Best Buy and check it out.
To commemorate the event, MSG will be hosting a 3D viewing party at the Theater tonight. We'll be there with all the latest fan reactions, notes, and analysis so follow us on Twitter.
Here's the official release:
New York, NY – March 18, 2010 - MSG, a leader in delivering
state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology to viewers, announced today that it
will telecast the March 24 Rangers-Islanders matchup from Madison Square Garden
in 3D, the first network hockey telecast ever produced in 3D. MSG will also be the first network in America
to offer home viewers a live 3D sports telecast. In 1998, MSG was the first regular provider
of sports coverage in high-definition television, producing all Knicks and
Rangers home games in that emerging format.
The Rangers
will host a special viewing party of this historic telecast at the Theater at Madison
Square Garden that will include appearances by popular Rangers alumni Mark
Messier, Adam Graves, Ron Duguay, Nick Fotiu, Ron Greschner, Dan Blackburn and
others, as well as fan contests and giveaways . Tickets to the 3D screening are $20 and available at newyorkrangers.com via Ticketmaster. MSG HD
subscribers with 3D compatible televisions will be able to watch the telecast
on a separate channel offered by Cablevision, and MSG is in discussions with
other providers. For more information
please visit msg.com/3D.
"MSG has been a leader in delivering emerging
technology to our viewers, and a leader in high quality original programming,
including a record 64 Emmy nominations this year," said Michael Bair,
president, MSG Media. "We were the first
regular providers of high-definition sports telecasts with Knicks and Rangers
games more than a decade ago, and we're excited to continue this tradition of
providing the most innovative and creative telecasts to our audience."
MSG is
planning a renovation which will be a comprehensive top-to-bottom
transformation of the arena that will enhance the experience for customers,
athletes, entertainers, fans and marketing partners. The state-of-the-art facility will also
include the most up-to-date technology throughout the arena for fans attending
Rangers voice Kenny Albert will call the play-by-play, former Ranger Dave
Maloney will serve as analyst, and Al Trautwig will serve as television host
for the evening.
The game
will be shot using 3ality Digital's image-capturing technology, which
integrates with existing broadcast equipment for pixel-perfect 3D imagery. 3ality
Digital, which has more than a decade's worth of development work behind its
systems, has been the technology of choice behind a number of recent 3D sports
productions, including BSkyB's January Premiere League Soccer broadcast, the
first live 3D broadcasts of NFL and college football games shown in theaters,
and the 2010 Sony Open golf tournament. Gamecreek Video will provide a separate
high-definition mobile video production unit for the game, working with 3ality
Digital camera rigs and image processing systems. In the Theater at Madison
Square Garden, RealD's 3D stereoscopic Cinema Processing System will enable the
audience to view the game in 3D via eyewear, screen and filtering
technology. A provider of advanced 3DTV-capable
technology, Harris Corporation, an international communications and information
technology company collaborating with MSG on the telecast, supplied NetVX ™
encoders and signal processing equipment that will be used to ensure
synchronous transport of the 3DTV signals from Madison Square Garden to the
network operations center.

Sheriff's Department Captain Guy Adams remained on paid administrative leave Monday pending a vehicle vandalism investigation by South Salt Lake police and an internal investigation by his own department.
Sheriff James Cordova put Adams on leave last Wednesday when it was learned Adams was considered a "person of interest" in the case.
The South Salt Lake police did not return a phone call from the Sun Advocate Monday, so a progress report was unavailable at press time.
Last week, however, the police had said the investigation concerns unspecified damage to three vehicles that were parked at a vehicle equipment business on Jan. 6.
As of Monday, there had been no arrest or charges filed.
Adams is the Sheriff's Department's second-in-command.
