The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…

What They're Saying:
THN – "Being named to the Canadian team for the world
under-18s allowed Brett Ritchie to gain some redemption after a trying
season. A combination of injuries and a
bout of mononucleosis limited him to 49 games and kept him out of the CHL
prospects game. 'He missed quite a bit
of time and wasn't on a very good team' a scout said, 'but everybody looks for
a 6-foot-3 power forward with good hands.' Ritchie, however, failed to deliver on high expectations. He was not even a point-per-game player this
season, but scouts feel he has the size and ability to be one in major
junior. 'He's a big, strong kid,'
another scout said. 'He's not a physical
guy by any means, but he combines some pretty good skill with that size.' When Ritchie is healthy and at his best he's
dominating along the boards and corners and competing hard for loose
pucks. He skates well for a player of
his frame and has soft hands around the net."
Scouting Report – "There were high expectations for Ritchie this year; something
he struggled to deal with at the start of the year. Initially overshadowed by
teammates Alexander Galchenyuk and Nail Yakupov, Ritchie found his scoring
touch in the second half of the season and was one of Canada's better
forwards at the U18's. A big winger with a good shot, Ritchie can be a pretty
effective sniper when he's on his game. The symptoms in his game we're not
overly fond of is that he is inconsistent, and while shielding the puck well,
he doesn't really play with any sense of physicality. If you see him play
regularly, you will probably even find that his game can be plagued by
laziness. Despite our concerns, he does have the skill-set where a team will be
willing to take a chance on him and see what they can get after a few years of development."
2011 Draft Watch – "It was a tough year for Ritchie who was starting to
round into form after a sluggish start, only to be felled by a bout with mono
that effectively took him out of it for the balance of the season in January.
Ritchie is a big kid with a nice stride who does all the things you want from
your power winger along the walls. He takes the puck to the net, shields it effectively
when in possession and cycling. He's not a real baggage smasher who goes out of
his way to wreck guys, but will give a hit and take one. His mitts are OK, and
yet he still managed 21 goals in 49 games this season so the potential is there
for him so long as he continues to play in the greasy areas of the ice. NHL
teams love those power forwards."
Corey Pronman – "Brett Ritchie's season was affected when he was hit by mononucleosis
mid-year, but he has enough admirable physical tools that helped him put
together a decent season given the circumstances. His skating tool was fringe
coming into the season but he made some strides in that area to where it is
fringe-average and can touch average with good enough mechanics to possibly
foresee future improvements. Ritchie's best tool is his physical game which
projects as plus. He dominates when the puck gets along the wall and he scores
most of his goals from within the blue paint area. I've seen times where
opponents would throw their body at Ritchie and basically bounce off him. On
the power play, he's the prototypical forward you want standing in front of the
net as he has notable hand-eye coordination for a big guy and can get his stick
on loose pucks and shots. The puck skills as a whole though are below-average,
and he won't be used to start the play or create in open ice. His hockey sense
is decent, maybe even flashing a small notch above average. Ritchie knows where
he needs to be in the offensive zone and doesn't just drive to the net, and
also shows a solid defensive game."
Hockey Writers – "Like most young power forwards, Ritchie will need to
learn to utilize his size and engage himself physically to dominate the
opposition and reach his full potential. The large winger added
about 15-20 pounds of muscle last summer and it was noticeable during puck
battles along the half-boards. His skating stride is sufficient and he
could stand to improve his first couple of steps but once Ritchie gets moving
he has good speed and is difficult to contain. Ritchie has all of
the attributes professional scouts like in a power forward with the size, shot,
soft hands and a strong skating stride to work in the dirty areas of the
rink. The biggest attraction with Ritchie is his ability to
absolutely dominate along the boards and in the corners and if he is fully
engaged physically he is a tank to move. Scouts would love to see Brett utilize his size on a more consistent
basis and develop a bit of a mean streak as well especially after seeing some
of the fights he has been involved in. Ritchie possesses all of the
qualities to become one of the bigger steals of the 2011 NHL
Draft. If he puts in the work ethic to maximize his offensive
skills then the kid has a lot to offer at the NHL level. It is not
too often that a player owns the size, hands, shot and puck protection skills
like Ritchie that could possibly slip into the second round. Brett
admits that he likes to model his game after Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf (19th
overall in 2003) and NHL teams would be thrilled if they selected a
player who has the ability to dominate games physically similar
to the Ducks' star power forward."

Thoughts: Ritchie is a hulking player, but he doesn't
exploit his tremendous size advantage. He's a good skater and has decent hands, but he'd really shoot up draft
boards if he played more physically. After missing much of the season with ailments, Ritchie may get lost in
the shuffle. But if he'd played the
whole year, his numbers would be much more impressive and he'd probably be a
surefire top pick. With all the Rangers'
undersized forwards, Ritchie would be an attractive addition. However, they aren't likely to spend a
first-round pick on him.

Yep, it's been a long time coming. I've been puppy crazy for over a year now but it all started about a month ago when I saw this Apple iPhone commercial. I downloaded the petfinder app and the first time I used it I saw one of Ginger's siblings. I hurried home to fill out my application and later that week I learned from the rescue that I was approved and could come see them.
Ginger is the runt of the litter and so sweet. Last night was a little rough for the both of us {as to be expected}. It was her first night away from her mom and siblings and she's still getting used to the crate. The crying, whimpering, howling, and barking got to me a little. But I stood strong, refused to bring her in the bed and eventually she tired herself out. I am so exhausted today because I don't think I fully fell asleep last night and then I woke up early this morning to take her out and she wouldn't get back to bed. I can only imagine how tough a baby would be. But on the upside babies can't walk and you don't need to worry about potty training right away! I know it's going to be a lot of work but I'm excited. It's the perfect time since I'm not really working and can spend lots of time with her. I'll take some cuter pictures of her this week I just wanted to share the news and introduce her to everyone!
Also, anyone with puppy tips {housebreaking, crate or obedience trainings} please share! I've been reading lots of books but the more knowledge the better! xox

Comments about Olukai Ohana Flip Sandal (Women's):
I received these sandals as a gift and I love them! This is my second pair of Olukai sandals. I think that they are expensive, but well worth the money! I work retail and stand on my feet all day. Chacos and Olukais are the only sandals I can wear on my feet that offer the amount of support I need. I own a leather pair of Olukais and this style. I like that you can machine wash these and wear them in the water. I am very happy with the quality and durability.

legit confused
anyway, several of those games were very popular when they decided to pull the plug, they could've simply transitioned to f2p (because lbr server maintenace isn't that costly anymore) and would've probably earned more money in the long run.
but, ncsoft.
Last edited by Acreon; 03-22-2014 at 12:27 AM.
I bought this for $60 to play with a friend. I still will play it with her if they fix the optimization issues by launch (and oh god this game runs poorly) but I have zero confidence in this game's ability survive as a B2P or P2P title.
I'm 100% positive they're only charging people $60/$75 to see who they can scam before going F2P. It's a very typical NCsoft move. Wait it out
Just in case anyone hasn't tested it out, most races are restricted to 2-3 class options, character customization is awful and you only have about 8 haircuts for every race with about 8 colors to choose from. About 8 or less skin colors. There are no color grid things in the creator, just choose their color picks which are always awful, too bright, etc. The combat is super generic and while they tried to make it no target and feel like TERA, there is nothing action about it. Just because you can make the controls work that way doesn't mean it's automatically an action game.I can make WoW like that, its not suddenly an action game with active combat. Graphics are seriously ugly, character models look good maxed out but many ground textures are just flat colors and look really really gross.

But I really did enjoy the path system even though it's a bit meaningless. I can honestly say the game is probably going to go f2p before a year is over unless they do some massive polishing, bug fixing, ui fixing (they're doing this already I think), adding more customization, and just cleaning up some of the things. It's hilarious to point out the flaws in /a chat and watch the fanbois scream though.
I don't know about any of you, but I just don't think it's worth the monthly fee nor the $60.
When I first went on with a friend, I was just overwhelmed by so many pop-up messages, from quests to NPC dialogues to just general chatting, it was EVERYWHERE! The combat is okay.. I guess, but they could really tune up some things for it - it feels a bit clunky to me. The graphics are different from what I usually play and that's okay for me, but I agree that their optimization is HORRIBLE. Sometimes, with a high-end laptop (and I know it's a laptop and not a desktop haha!), I frequently get stuck in the loading screen and it gets super annoying.
All in all, I know that it's beta and some of those things will be fixed (oh God, I sincerely hope so), but we can get a good sense of what the game will be like once it comes out - and in that state, I don't think it'll be worth subbing. -Sigh- such high hopes for games from AAA producers like ESO and Wildstar, so much disappointment.
Hey other Sora avatar guy.
I agree. lol
I kinda feel like I wasted $60 because I'm not sure if they'll be able to double or more the FPS that I'm running at on default by launch (2 months away)
I'm on a high end machine though and I'm getting 30 FPS on default and it's just ridiculous. I feel that ARR had good graphics and I ran 60 FPS on that, 60 FPS on max for any Steam games basically. I don't do multiplayer games at 30 FPS and shit so if they don't fix it I'm gone. Pretty dumb.

OK this has never happened to me before. I quickly changed a kernel option in xconfig after just compiled my kernel. So I figured I didnt need to use a backup (STUPID MISTAKE which I'll never do again). Now I cant start up. I use a floppy to start up linux. Anyone know how to go back to linux just to run lilo or know how to login as a single user account whilst at lilo?
Type: linux single
at the boot prompt to boot single user mode.
I don't know about Slack, but RedHat allows you to use CD1 as a rescue disk. Just boot with CD1 in your cdrom then at the prompt type: linux rescue
It should ask you to enter your language and country. If you have multiple linux partitions it will ask which one holds your root partition. It should now tell you where your system is mounted, usually /mnt/sysimage
When it drops you to a shell prompt type: chroot /mnt/sysimage
Then just type: lilo -v
Lilo will now be re-installed. To reboot type: exit
Will have to type exit twice, once to exit the chroot environment and again to reboot.
When you have your system booted again, don't forget to make a new bookdisk.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In a season that has already changed the record books, the Lipscomb women's soccer team looks to continue its strong play with the beginning of the Atlantic Sun Conference season.
The Lady Bisons have set 10 records this season, led by freshman Ellen Lundy with 20 points and nine goals through nine games. As a team, the squad has scored more goals, points and have more assists than any other previous Lipscomb squad.
Lipscomb, 3-4-2 overall, begins A-Sun action at Kennesaw State Friday and at Mercer Sunday.
Kennesaw State begins the A-Sun slate with a 3-5-0 record having played four BCS level schools. The offense is led by Maggie Gaughan with two goals and the only Owl to have scored more than one goal. Goalkeeper Olivia Sturdivant has played every minute amassing 35 saves and a 1.38 goals against average.
Mercer enters the weekend 5-4-1 overall. The Bears open A-Sun action Friday night hosting Northern Kentucky. Mercer has an offensive attack that ranks 31st nationally and leads the A-Sun with 73 points. The 2.5 goals scored per game ranks 27th in the NCAA.
Washida Blackman leads the squad with five goals and 12 points. Lauren Gassie has three goals and four assists. Goalkeeper Maggie Cropp has started every game in the net and has accumulated 39 saves and a 1.51 goals against average.
Last in action on Sunday, the Lady Bisons fell 2-1 to Western Kentucky as the Lady Toppers notched a goal in the 84th minute to take the lead. Junior Baylee Linnell scored the Purple and Gold's goal early in the second half.
Lundy's nine goals rank her 10th in the nation while her 20 points places her 12th. Her one goal a game average places her 13th nationally.
Linnell leads the squad with 25 shots, 12 on goal. She has accumulated 13 points with five goals and three assists. Sophomore Molly Bray has two goals and an assist in the first half of the season.
Freshman goalkeeper Anna Buhigas has four shutouts to her credit, which ties a season-best for Lipscomb. She has 44 saves and a 1.06 goals against average.

Last week, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School horror, I shared on Facebook that I had no words. Since, I have watched and read many reactions to the loss of such innocence. People have expressed such wisdom, insight, and resource. Yet, I am still without words.
I find I am left with one thought. Maybe more than words, laws and regulations, and resources, we must also demonstrate new behaviors. I am not so naive to think the answer is that simple because I understand so much more is needed. However, I have to ask myself, "What can I do?" What can I do that teaches young people new ways of behaving?
Instead of getting angry, can I take the time to seek alternative solutions? Can I demonstrate that there are more responses than harm or rage? Can I slow down so I can be more civil?
Instead of saying more needs to be done, can I give more? Can I encourage communities to consider solutions to societal issues as individuals who must work together collectively to create healthy, safe environments? Can I turn care into share?
Can I demonstrate how one can be a part of a deliberation with definite opinions, but also with the wisdom to find ways to work together, before winning becomes more important than the greater good? Can I demonstrate humility?
Can I find a way to help parents understand that as much as we may want to wrap our children in a cocoon that we must realize that environments that help young people to engage, explore, and experience how to learn about and understand others are more important than ever? Authentic connections are as imperative as the ability to accomplish math.
Will I remember to turn off the TV and take a child's hand and walk them outside? To search for four-leaf clovers with our noses in the grass? Will I stop the noise and frenetic activity long enough to be still — to hear the beat of my heart?
Will I remember to sing, inviting young voices to join me? To be silly and twirl about until we get dizzy — just because we can?
Then I stopped here because I was still at a loss of words. How would I close these thoughts . . . ?
Later in the evening, I listened to President Obama address the community of Newtown and the nation. Regardless of one's politics, his thoughts brought closure to the thoughts I had earlier in the day.
I realized I had been asking myself, "Am I doing enough?" And, I believe, I replied, "I must do more." The President is right — I will have to change to see change in our world. I hope we all decide to do so because, as he said, "We all bear responsibility." Maybe that is why this loss of innocence rendered me speechless — I bear responsibility and must do my part to create change.
As always, I am encouraged by the fact I work for a community, the camp community, made up of individuals that I know will do the same.

The Judiciary Committee of the Utah House of Representatives met Tuesday morning and there was one bill that curiously dropped from the agenda: House Bill 114.
House Bill 114 is the Utah Second Amendment Preservation Act and, if enacted, would prosecute "anyone attempting to enforce federal laws" restricting the right of Utahans to keep and bear arms.
Sponsored by Representative Brian Greene (R-Pleasant Grove), HB 114 has been blocked from a hearing by the committee chairman who is unsure whether states have the power to defy the federal government's unconstitutional attempt to seize weapons from citizens.
Citing concerns over the bill's constitutionality, House Judiciary Committee chairman Kay McIff (R-Richfield) told the Deseret News, "Sometimes it's a concern if we spend all of our time and all of our money on matters that don't look like they have a chance of survival. I'm just going to have to look at it."
The chairman's comment begs the question of whether it would be better spending the state's money on helping the federal government disarm citizens or on defending the right of the people to keep and bear arms from being infringed.
McIff has placed himself, rather than the representatives of the people or the people themselves, as the arbiter of what is constitutional.
The Speaker of the Utah House of Representatives, Becky Lockhart (R-Provo), supported McIff's position, saying, "I empower committee chairs to make those decisions and will back them," adding, "when and if Chairman McIff is ready to put that back on the agenda."
While McIff thwarts the efforts of a dedicated lawmaker to defend the people of Utah from an impending federal gun grab, the people made their opinion known during a public comment session last week.
Last Friday, despite a snow storm, Utahans turned out en masse to express their support for Greene's bill specifically and for the Second Amendment generally.

I honestly cannot say what my opinion is on Pastaferianism being a religion, since I cannot say what my opinion is on anything else being a religion. All my life I have looked upon people going to church and praying with fascination. I could never be a part of their community because believing in some magical zombie that was supposed to come and save me once the world started ending was beyond me. In Pastaferianism I see a community of people that are willing to accept that these people are pretty much crazy and it has come to a point where being crazy is acceptable while not believing in crazy magic zombies makes you a loony. I do also enjoy saying Pastaferian instead of atheist because usually the guy throwing bibles at people looks confused first.

Ok, so I'm responding to an old reply (sue me, I'm poor).
When I think of the principles of FSM I think of the 8 I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts. I must say that in general I actually believe in these psuedo-commandments. So if believing in these principles does that make me an adherant to this belief as a religion?

When the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed 15,000, it had me dreaming of bigger things.
Specifically: Dow 116,200.
Dow 15,000? Try 116,200
When the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed 15,000, Chuck Jaffe started dreaming of a Dow 116K. He joins MoneyBeat to discuss it. Photo: Getty Images
That was the market level predicted by mutual fund pioneer Bill Berger in a 1995 speech at a Society of American Business Editors and Writers conference in Boston, and it was almost as laughable then — with the Dow at 4,500 — as it seems now, when it stands more than 100,000 points into the Dow's future.
Berger wasn't expecting hyperinflation on the index; instead, the 70-something founder of the Berger Funds (which shuttered shortly after his death a few years later) said the market would reach his magic number in 2040. He wryly suggested that if he was proved wrong, people should visit him in the 2040s to discuss it.
Yet with the Dow at 15,000, it doesn't really look like Berger will be off by much, as far-fetched as it seems.
I look back on Berger's prediction periodically because he could not have foreseen the events that have happened since. In fact, that was a huge part of the point he was making at the time, about the difficulty of forecasting.
In 1995, the market was about to catch fire, and Berger didn't live long enough to see the Internet bubble burst. He was not predicting the horrendous 2000s and, in fact, his point in looking out so far was that he didn't feel that interim events — even catastrophic ones like the financial crisis of 2008 — would make much of a difference on what the market would do in the very long term.
It's a lesson worth revisiting at a time when many investors are worried that the market cannot maintain its current highs, let alone proceed on any pace that would make 116,200 ever be a reality.
The basis for Berger's forecast was simple. By 1995, he'd been in the investment business for 45 years, and had seen the Dow go from below 200 to just over 4,300. Mathematically, Berger saw the Dow's future as reflecting what had happened in the past, thus moving it from 1995 levels to 116,200 in 45 years.
Using easy, round numbers, the Dow needed roughly 16.5 years to triple from the time of Berger's prediction, crossing 13,000 early in 2012.
Using the Rule of 115 — a rough measure of how long it takes for something to triple based on a constant return — that's a gain of roughly 7% per year.
If that rate of return holds for the future — and it's smack in the middle of the 6% to 8% long-term range that many market observers believe is realistic — then the Dow would triple twice more over the next 32 years.
If that happens, the Dow will cross 116,200 sometime in 2045, a bit after Berger's time frame but not wildly off base, especially when considering that the forecast would have made investors break out in hysterics had it been made, say, any time after 2000.
Plenty of market watchers will tell you that we are living in changing times, that the 45 years covered by Berger's forecast are radically different than the ones included in his investing career.

|Richard Tatton and Keith Mason aid in the Sub for Santa effort this Christmas.
For Christmas 2007, Santa received a little help from his friends at the United Way.
The organization's Sub for Santa and Angel Tree programs helped bring the gift of joy to nearly every qualifying applicant family in Carbon County.
The United Way's programs are temporary assistance projects that provide Christmas gifts for children and some other local residents through community sponsors.
"The fostering of self-sufficiency is an important part of the program," pointed out the United Way's website. "We do this by helping families and applicants learn different ways to manage their time, money and talents."
While Sub for Santa is one of the larger programs within United Way, the Angel Tree is used by a significant segment of the Carbon County community to spread the spirit of giving and help those less fortunate.
Barbara Robinett of the Eastern Utah Community Credit Union reported that their organization sponsored 250 individuals and families this year spending approximately $40,000 in the process.
The credit union places the approved names on a tree in the local branch. Sponsors then take a name, age and gift ideas from the tree and buy gifts for a particular family.
"We make sure to take whole families so that we never run into a situation where one child in a family gets a gift and another does not," said Robinett. "We also make sure that once a child is accepted through the credit union they get gifts no matter what."
The credit union uses the practice of shopping for any remaining "angels" themselves if the children are not adopted from the tree by one of the financial body's members.
"We could never do this without the support of our members," said Robinett. "Their generosity makes the Angel Tree possible here at the credit union."
While ECCU is the largest participant in the United Way's Angel Tree program, there are several others Carbon County businesses who sponsor trees and give to those in need.
Families receiving assistance must apply and qualify for assistance through either the Angel Tree or Sub for Santa programs.
To be considered, a family must in most cases, have at least one child between the ages of 18 months and 14 years of age.
Numerous eligibility factors are considered, including income, expenses and individual disabilities, as well as other circumstances such as recent unemployment.
Residents who choose to select a participant from the Angel Tree are usually asked to provide two new items of clothing, two new toys and a book for each child, according to United Way information.
"At the credit union, we usually suggest that individuals buy one new outfit for each child, a pair of shoes, a coat and one item from the child's wish list," said Robinett. "We have a ton of support here. JD Banansky has become our coat man. He provides the coats we need for any children left on the tree close to Christmas."
Robinett reported that the credit union only had to shop for 20 of the 250 qualified participants this year. The members of the financial branch took care of the rest.
More information concerning how much a sponsor should spend and how the packages should be delivered is available from the United Way's website or at the ECCU.
"Put yourselves in the recipients shoes," said the United Way website. "If you were to receive gifts for your children from a stranger, wouldn't you be curious to see what they were given? In addition by letting the parents wrap the gifts you donate, you share the experience and allow the parents to play a greater role in providing for their children's Christmas. Perhaps you could include wrapping paper and bows for the parents to use. It may be a good idea to put the gifts in a black garbage bag or box so the children won't see them."
Donors could arrange to deliver the packages or the credit union would.
"Applicants were required to meet income guidelines, prove that the child is residing in the household, prove that they have custody of the minor child as well as other qualifications," concluded Robinett. "We gave to a wide variety of individuals this year, mostly children but some new mothers and the elderly. What was important to us was the spirit of giving to those who maybe had a tough year."

Read: What Opening Night Could Have Been Like In LA
Tonight at 10:30PM the New York Rangers were going to open up the 2012-13 season against the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings.
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes about what some of the big moments of the season could have been like had it not been for the lockout.
For opening night in LA, Friedman writes about how LA would celebrate being the Stanley Cup champions and adds:
The Rangers opened up the 2009-10 season against the defending Champion Penguins and John Tortorella had every intention of having the Rangers watch the ceremony from the bench but said that it went long and that the Penguins seem to want them out of the way.
At the time, Tortorella said "I think it's good. I've been on the end of these, a couple the other way, and I've been on one the right way, and I think it's a great thing, especially for some of the youth on our team. I think it's good for them to see it, as far as a culmination thing."

NEWPORT–Just like many of the other sports teams from North Country, the boys' soccer team also lost a large chunk of their roster to graduation.
Ten players departed the squad with a diploma while one member transferred to another school.
While coach James McKenny has almost a whole new roster to work with, one thing still remains the same; defense.
ORLEANS–Tom Evans is back for his thirty-first year of coaching at Lake Region, and when asked what he has not seen in the game of soccer, it was tough for him to find an answer.
What he does know is that he will be fielding a very competitive team in 2012.
"I am very excited about the year," said Evans. "We lost five seniors which was basically our midfield, so we have our work cut out for us, but we've got a good group of returning players and if we can get the mid-field play we should be ok."
NEWPORT–Last year players were hard to come by for the United Christian Academy boys soccer team.
This year they got all the players they could.
There are fourteen boys that range in grade from 8th-12th at UCA and they are all playing for coach Alyssa DeLaBruere this season.
Three eighth graders will make their debut for the team along with some of new international players, who are still stuck in Korea due to sever weather conditions.
ORLEANS–The days of the being a ground and pound crew for the Lake Region girls soccer team are all but over.
Coach Brad Urie has taken the rough and tumble teams of the last few seasons, and infused a blend of speed and finesse that he hopes will produce the same kinds of results that his previous squads have.
NEWPORT–Losing one or two key players to graduation can be tough.
Losing the bulk of your starters and top reserves is almost mind numbing.
Be that as it may, that is what Chantelle Bouchard and the rest of the 2012 field hockey Falcons must contend with as they embark on this year's campaign.
"It's hard to fill their positions for sure, but as the season moves on we will be able to tell more," said the coach.
As hard as it is to reboot, North Country is going to go at it full steam ahead and could surprise some folks along their way.
NEWPORT–From the on-field action to the man running the ship, the 2012 North Country football team will have a new look and feel to their program.
Gone from the team is the legendary Bob Davis, who retired after a spectacular run as the head coach of the Falcons.
With him goes the traditional option-based offense that has been the calling card of the program for years.
Also missing will be the class of 2011, a crew of nineteen talented players that were the backbone of the team's undefeated regular season.
At Willoughby III, 23 swimmers and 23 "yackers" took to the water from North Beach, swimming south for burgers and fresh picked corn on the cob waiting for them at South Beach (East).
COATICOOK,QC–On August 8th the O.E.C. Lightning traveled to Coaticook and came away with a very exciting win to end their season.
With the lead changing hands 4 times throughout the course of the game, it took the Lighting until the top of the 7th to finally put it away thanks to a 4 run outburst.
But lets go back to see how we got there.
In the top of the first Phoenix Malanga led off for the Lightning and the very first pitch he saw drilled it in the gap in left center for a double.
ORLEANS–The Orleans Country Country Club could not have asked for better conditions for this year's Arthur Mandros Memorial Member/Guest Golf Tournament.
"It turned out to be a great event," said
O.C.C. Club Pro Horace Archer with a smile.
"We had two days of great weather and we had people who enjoyed themselves, had dinners and played great with great sportsmanship. What else can I say."
After a fantastic Saturday of action and another great round Sunday morning, the eight teams were divided into two flights for the shoot-out to determine the winners of the tournament.
ORLEANS–Horace Archer, the golf pro at the Orleans Country Club, did not take the unusual path to becoming a golf pro.
For him, turning a hobby into a full-time occupation happened later in life than many of today's professionals who head into college knowing they want to be involved in the game as a career.
"I was brought up as an engineer and I worked for twenty-five years for IBM after which I decided I needed to continue to be doing something before I die. I decided I should go into golf."

Buffalo, NY - Sometimes there just aren't words to explain an experience.
Andre Martinelli of Buffalo, NY served in the Marines during the Vietnam War and does not talk much about it. But during this week when the nation celebrates its independence, he was willing to talk about his garden.
It's a small tribute to veterans. Surrounded by bricks that he painted red, white and blue, there are flowers and flags. A few black bricks and a flag remind people of the prisoners of war. A butterfly symbolizes those who have died.
Martinelli wanted to remember his friends who were also Marines and died in the last year, while simply saying thank you to all veterans for fighting for our freedoms.
He plans to keep adding to his new garden to salute veterans with each detail without saying a word.

Re: Rsp And Weight
I would go ahead talk with a recruiter. You would fall under the non-prior service weight scale. They give you some room and the BMI scale is not as strict as it is if you have previously shipped to training. But tips to losing weight are simple. Cut things that are high in sugar, especially soda. I used to go through 12 packs of cokes in 2 days. When i stopped drinking coke i lost 15lbs in a month and a half. Drink lots of water and run a lot. You'll be alright.
Re: Rsp And Weight
I'm assuming you are female and under 21 years of age. If that is correct, then your weight has to be under 132 OR 32% body fat or less. If you really want to enlist, you CAN loose the weight. A word of advise, this goal of yours needs to be a LONG term lifestyle change. That means it isn't JUST getting down to the maximum allowable weight to get in. You want to make your goal to have a built in buffer. MANY soldiers are sadly flagged for weight early in their career and are ultimately forced out because they could not maintain weight and PT standards. Mentally you are telling yourself, "I will NEVER weigh "X" amount again." Good luck in your pursuit.
Re: Rsp And Weight
If you can pass "tape" you can join. passing army tape test www.armyprt.com has the answer

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Governor Paul LePage's plans to reform schools are getting a cool reception from leaders of Maine's top education groups.
In his State of the State address Tuesday night, LePage said Maine's public schools are not making the grade. He criticized schools for not raising their test scores in recent years, for too many high school dropouts and even too many administrators.
Leaders of the Maine Education Association -the teachers' union-and the Maine School management Association, which represents superintendents and school boards, say the Governor got it wrong. They say many Maine schools are doing well, and that some of the Governor's statistics were inaccurate.
Connie Brown of the Maine School Management Association says the most recent testing shows Maine students performing in the 70th percentile, much higher than the result she says were listed by the Governor.
The Legislature will be debating a number of proposals from the Governor, including one for statewide school choice. That idea was defeated last year by a Republican legislature, but the Governor says he's bringing it back.
The Governor's office also says he will submit a bill to require high schools to pay for the cost of remedial courses for their graduates who want to attend Maine colleges. The need for those remedial courses has been a frequent point of criticism by the Governor.
Two proposals that won't need Legislative approval: a report card on the performance of each Maine school. Those reports will be done by the stat6e Department of Education. And the Governor will hold an education reform conference in March, inviting what he says will be education experts from around the country.

Hong Kong Restaurant Recommendations
Posted 06 December 2003 - 08:22 PM
I didn't try the dan dan at Man Jiang Hong, but everything else there was good. Their prices are also very good by HK standards - more than 4 of us could eat, with 3 beer, for HK$600. Reserve a table early, they are busy.
This week I copied Q's recipe at home using Shanghai noodles, their sauce, some ground pork, garnished with crushed peanuts and scallion, and it was the real deal. Use less of that sauce than you think.... good news is now I don't have to go to Wanchai or Whampoa (or the mainland) when I need a dan dan fix.
O que nao mata engorda.

The poll of 830 consumers, aged 12-54 in the past six months, found about 98 per cent visited fast-food shops. From 2001 to 2003, the number of fast-food shops rose by 14 per cent, from 520 to 593, or 10 per cent of Hong Kong's restaurants. The survey found that frequent fast-food diners tend to be adult, male blue-collar workers, visit a fast-food outlet seven times per month, and spend an average HK$22 each time. Some 11 per cent of the respondents said they patronised fast-food outlets at least five times a week, spending an average HK$2,836 in the past six months. And Hong Kong's favourite fast foods? A hamburger or sandwich, washed down with either hot milk tea, carbonated soft drink or hot coffee.
for this one needs no chopsticks .... looks like this is the hit of the year with the people of Hong Kong ....now I need to use a currency converter to figure out the value of the HK dollar ....
Posted 05 August 2004 - 01:30 PM
As to currency conversion, I think the exchange rate is such that you can still get a decent approximation of U.S. dollars by dividing the HK dollars by 8.

They would never accept the type of products merchandised in the States, such as Roast Beef, Ham or Turkey Sandwiches that all taste the same in a blindfold testing done several times yearly where the testers are not able to taste any difference during the tests of each product, from a major fast food chain.
The quality available must be consistent, tasty and indicative of expected tastes and flavors particular to Hong Kong or you don't remain in business. Also take into consideration that rents are generally higher then the States per square foot.
The business that I started is slightly more up scale and now has in excess of 430 locations in Hong Kong, plus has sold off and diversified into Bakery, and Licensed Fast Food Business as well as Franchised.

But don't you see how the importing of various Hong Kong favorites to America has increased our sense of culinary choices? There are so many more items which we have available now than when I grew up here.
So sad. And it's happening all around the world. What I loved about HK was how even in mall food courts you could get great noodles and other Asian fare.
And just maybe the "novelty" of American fast food will cause certain boredom in the minds of these same folks over time, at which time they may chooe to return to their more comforting, familiar cuisines and just consider it nostalgia ...

My parents like Fairwood if they don't feel like cooking. One portion is big enough to be shared by two people, and you could always ask for more rice. Maxim has a variety of interesting restaurants, I like the EXP in Festival Walk. It is just weird seeing all those fast food restaurants changing their interior design, menu, and sign to upgarde.

For Chinese renminbi, I use $1US=$8 yuan

I am not so sure about the consistency and the quality part.
The quality available must be consistent, tasty and indicative of expected tastes and flavors particular to Hong Kong or you don't remain in business.
When I used to live in Hong Kong, the experience of going to one Cafe de Coral could be very different from another. It seems that each kitchen hires its own cooks. Some are just not as good as the others. While most meals are acceptable, occassionally (well, more often than I liked) I got served overly salty dishes, burnt deep-fried chicken thigh, and bland dinner soup and so on.
Did Cafe de Coral go bankrupt? Hardly. I think convenience and low-price are the major factors that made those chained fast food places so successful... even though millions of Hong Kongers know they can get much tastier meals in local restaurants. Do I go to a Cafe de Coral because I long for their "high quality" coffee or fried chicken wings? Not a chance.
On the other hand, U.S. Franchises like McDonald's can really claim their consistency and quality marks. Not that I like hamburgers much, but I remember tasting the McDonald's in London, Paris, Cologne, Singapore, Hong Kong and Beijing and found them to be very much like the ones I had in the USA. Well... it's just hamburgers. The cooking process (and thus quality control) is much simpler.

I don't really know what you mean by traditional restuarant. Do you mean like where you sit down and someone comes to take the order? There are lots of restaurant in Hong Kong with the same or lower price than those fast food chain. But people like those fast food chain because they are often more reliable(chain don't want to ruin their names), quality food at a reasonable price, ever changing menu items, and clean.
The fast food in Hong Kong is very different from the fast food in USA. With places like Cafe de Coral or Fairwood, they probably serve more fast Chinese food (something over rice kind of dishes) than hamburgers. The main object is "fast". Tastes are usually okay, but not as good as from the traditional restaurant. But if you are in a hurry to get a meal (and who isn't?) or want to be economical (and who doesn't), it's really a good alternative than going to traditional restaurants.
Their menu are really diverse, they have bbq meat with rice, western/chinese style breakfast, Japanese style noodles/rice, hot pot, clay pot dishes, tea time, sizzling dishes, and lots more.

Theres a few reasons why HK fast food culture has become so much stronger of late.
1. Hong Kong remeber has a massive population in such a small area.
Almost everyone lives in apartment blocks where the average kitchens are tiny!!! literally a mouse swinger!!! I mean less then 3 sqm of kitchen space. This was the original reason why HK had such a strong fast food culture that, convenience and price.
2. SARS - since the outbreak last year Hong Kong has gone on a hygiene blitz the streets are a lot cleaner the back alleyways that used to be rubbish areas have been cleaned up. But when SARS was still present many people chose to stay at home rather then mingle with others at restaurants. Naturally the streethawkers and smaller family run eateries would be the first to be hit as they don't have a branding or reputation people can trust nor do they have the finances to weather the storm.
A lot of these places closed down leaving the chains.
3. Food scares - Hong Kong people are generally superstitious and also have an overly cautious attitude ie: they scare easily. There have been constant news reports this year of food poisoning scares coming from mainland China some have been due to negilgence other have been deliberate poisoning. There have also been several reports of counterfeit food!! Were cheap below grade food has been repackaged up then sold on as a branded product!!!!
With these factors and probably others you can easily understand why people are going to chains more not because they taste better but because of price, conveninece and reputation. Big chains regardless of taste are competitive and have rigorous quality standards in place that the public can trust.
"tastes so good makes you want to slap your mamma!!"

This is very different from the HK-style Western dinner plates, like macaroni with ham and oxtail over rice, I think.
And Hong Kong's favourite fast foods? A hamburger or sandwich, washed down with either hot milk tea, carbonated soft drink or hot coffee.

Traditional restaurant = you are served by a waiter/waitress; you sit down and order; dishes are made to order; you pay after you eat.
I don't really know what you mean by traditional restuarant. Do you mean like where you sit down and someone comes to take the order?
Fast Food = self serve, cafeteria style; you order and pay first then pick up your order (or they will bring it out to you); dishes are mass-produced, you have only limited choices from the menu of the day.

"hot dog" in Chinese characters.
Posted 07 August 2004 - 12:47 AM
Lemme guess, Irwin. Was it Maxim's?
"Maxim's" is the most well known organization. It started with one location in the basement of the "Lane Crawford House" then opened a branch in the Arcade of the Mandarin Hotel, but originally was part of the Luk Hoi Tong Group that owned the "Luk Kwok Hotel" made famous in America featured in the movie "The World of Susie Wong", starring, "William Holden" and "Nancy Kwong"who both especially Nancy's parent's were good customers at "Lindy's". "Maxim's" is still owned by the "Wu" Family together with the "Hong Kong Land Company", apparently the World's Largest Real Estate Company.
It's a very different World of Fast Food, where Old Wifes Tales are mixed with Rumors and Traditions. A good example would be that in Cool Weather you can sell all beef "Hot Dogs" but in warm weather you can only sell all pork "Hot Dogs" because your Customers are convinced that beef makes your blood warm, good for the winter, but pork is suitable for hot weather. A popular Breakfast Treat is Canned Beans on White Bread with Marmite.
Coffee is best when sweetened with Sugar and Sweetened Condensed Milk. Iced Tea should only be sweetened with Sugar Syrup. The most popular "Hot Dogs" are from Denmark packed in cans then grilled that are almost the same size and shape as Vienna Canned Sausages.
The best and busiest Hong Kong fast food places are the Street side "Tai Pi Tong's" Food Stalls that often do more business then the largest Chain Restaurants. Some of these places serve really delicious quick, nutritious and healthy food amazingly fast prepared mostly prepared to order at low prices.
There are more rental unit's occupied by families and single people that don't bother with kitchens or prepare their own food as it cheaper, available almost 24/7 for quick delivery/pick up the dishes service or almost outside your door, even catered that eating out conveniently is a way of life for much of the population.

During the period that I lived in Hong Kong many Fast Food Chain Operations from all over the World attempted to enter the market.
What was interesting about this situation was that as consultants we were often called upon to offer advice and recommendations. Very often this was ignored by clients who proceeded without any consideration of our suggestions.
What resulted more often then not was that the operations failed after their initial attempt. Some that were persistent finally were able to succeed by being adaptable to the local market, others by investing large amounts of capitol and by persistent advertising, again with adaptations have succeeded.
My query is I'm wondering about how many attempts that has succeeded are still in business. and how many READERS, REMEMBER ALL THE CHAINS THAT FAILED.
Such as . "Wimpy's". "Spudnuts", "Angus Steak House", "Chicken Delight" and others.

While you're at it, any recs on what foodstuffs or spices, kitchen tools to bring back?
Thanks for your help!
Posted 14 January 2005 - 09:03 AM
some Chinese place that worth trying:
- Modern China (Specialized in Sichuan/Beijing/Shanghai region food)
10 floor, Times Square, 1 Mantheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (underground train station - MTR: Causewaybay, exit Times Square) tel: 2506 2525
It is quite a hot place for the locals, you need to book or at peak hour, wait in line to get into the restaurant. The food is more of modern Chinese style. Food is good. Price is average, total is less than HK$600 for 6 person.
- Eryi Tower (Specialized in Hakka food, Hakka is a southern China province)
1st floor Allied Kajima Building, 138 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong (MTR: Wanchai)
tel: 2511 1228
Since in HK, it is mostly specialized in Cantonese food, it is quite rare to find a Hakka restaurant. We found the food quite inspiring and interesting. Price is good too, around HK$60 per person.
- Tung's House
2nd floor, Pearl Oriental House, 60 Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong 2571 5168
It is a 'private home restaurant'. It is a food trend started a few years ago in HK, some talented and passionate chefs who got fed up with the industry and start cooking for friends or for food lovers in their home, they never do any promotion or put any signage. But after a while, their good reputation spread, and people start coming despite they might not have license for operating restaurants. Usually, these type of restaurants aren't cheap, but they cook more refine and rare product. Tung's House have dinner menus for 4 starting from $6xxHKD - $9XX HKD.
As for things to take back, I think if you like Chinese cakes or pastries, you can try Kee Wah, shop address in their website. (http://www.kee-wah.com.hk). If you like cooking, maybe it is interesting to bring back some high quality dried food, like dried black mushroom (the better ones are coming from Japan) from some dried food stores in Sheung Wan. (but check your custom's rules before, countries like US are very strict with food import) Run into the local supermarket, Welcome or ParknShop, you can find some sauce that is interesting for cooking, like XO sauce. As for cooking utensils, maybe clay pot can be interesting to bring home. It gives a subtile different taste to food.
Hope this helps...

I am not sure if the Vietnamese food is very authentic in HK.
It isn't. Most Vietnamese restaurants in HK don't come up to the standards of a basic Vietnamese restaurant in the US, and aren't remotely in the same league as Saigon. There's one new Maxim's outlet called Rice Paper in Gateway Mall that's sort of modern/fusionish Vietnamese. It's at least stylish and not too expensive, but as is too often the case, the food is blanded down to suit Cantonese tastes.
Things to buy:
Kowloon Soy Sauce (mentioned in earlier threads) - I think it's safe to import to USA.
For tools and kitchen equipment, head to Shanghai St., where there's a cluster of kitchen equipment shops that cater to the trade but will sell to anyone. A good place to start is Chan Chi Kee http://www.chanchikee.com/ , and then just walk one block north or south for several more shops. Also more on parallel Reclamation St, 1 blk west. Anything from a Chinese style knife for $10 to a char siu roaster that will fit a whole pig is available. Try getting that into your carry-on....

I used to buy bags and bags of dried black mushrooms every time I went back to Hong Kong. But... prices of black mushrooms (dried Shiitake mushrooms) came down in prices and up in quality quite a bit in recent years. In the U.S. Asian grocery markets, a big bag of black mushrooms is priced at only about US $3.99 (the same item used to be over US $12.00). Therefore, I concluded that it would not worth my luggage space (and the energy to shop them in HK) to bring back black mushrooms.
If you like cooking, maybe it is interesting to bring back some high quality dried food, like dried black mushroom (the better ones are coming from Japan) from some dried food stores in Sheung Wan. (but check your custom's rules before, countries like US are very strict with food import)
On the other hand, I found what's worth buying and bringing back are those pickled/dried fruit snacks (e.g. pickled/dried plums, pickled/dried olives, pickled/dried lemons). I have shopped all over California's Asian markets and haven't discovered any that carries quality pickled/dried fruit snacks.
Not sure which country you are from, if it is the U.S., you are not allowed to bring in meat products. Dry squids are okay. (In general, dry seafood are okay). Or else I would buy and bring back some beef/pork jerkey.

Hakka is NOT a southern Chinese province. The term literally means "guest people", indicative of a certain huge group of people who were dispossessed by one or another civil upheaval in Northern China and were doomed to migrate from their northern homelands into the south where, understandably they were not always welcomed. I repeat, the term Hakka is NOT a province.
Ben, you are probably right about the origin of Hakka people, what I was saying was just repeating what was printed and translated on their name card. Probably that restaurant just specialized in Hakka food (in Chinese), the term "southern province food" (in English) is actually introduced by them.

If anyone has any favourite eating experiences they'd like to share, I'm going to Hong Kong for a week, I eat anything that's not endangered, I prefer cafes to fine dining and I'm staying in Tsim Sha Tsui (Miramar). I'm always up for something hot and pungent - any places out there like to fool with the fu yu?
Miramar ?? OK, its on Nathan Rd. Right across from Miramar on the 4th floor are a few really good restaurants - Specially the Yunyan Szechuan Restaurant.
In the basement by Miramar should be a couple of restaurant. Nearby, also in the basement is a very inexpensive dim-sum place for breakfast and good congee.
Go to Temple St., Night market to eat in hot pot cafes. In and around TST you'll find many small cafes/diner/dim sum places.
Since you are going to be there for a week; take a trip to the Lamma island and have a good seafood meal - If you go in a large group; order a set meal.
Really inexpensive meal can be had at Cheung Isl. too.
Sheraton,Intercontinental,Hyatt regency,Peninsula,Langham (in Kowloon) all have top notch restaurants.
A few blocks off Nathan Rd. on Peking Rd you'll find some inexpensive but excellent restaurants.
I was in HKG/MAC in January for a week or so -

Expect More "Terminator" This Season
By now everyone knows that head coach, Rex Ryan and the rest of the Jets organization plans on getting back to their "Ground and Pound" roots. One guy who expects to reap the dividends by means of increased playing time is none other than the Jets hard-hitting fullback, aptly named "The Terminator." TJB was able to catch up with Con-Crete during OTA's as he shared some thoughts on the upcoming season:
On the difference between Brian Schottenheimer's and Tony Sparano's offensive schemes in terms of how the fullback is used:
"With this offense it seems like I will be used a lot more in different spots on the field, aside from just basic fullback stuff. I'm going to be pretty much all over the place, it seems like coach Sparano has a lot of confidence in my ability, by placing me all over the field and he expects me to execute.
On Sparano bringing back the physical mentality to the team that seemed to be lacking in 2011:
"I thought it was a good addition to the team in bringing that physical swagger back to the Jets offense. I had a chance to play under coach Sparano at the Senior Bowl and it gave me the opportunity to get a taste of what his offense was like. When I realized that he was coming in to be the offensive coordinator it got me really excited just to know that we were going back to our "Ground and Pound" identity."
On what he feels he has improved most upon/has become most comfortable with going into year three:
"I'm getting more confidence as I learn the offense and it becomes more natural to me. I'm starting to recognize defenses. Last year was pretty much my rookie year because I didn't get as much playing time, splitting time with T-Rich (Tony Richardson). Last year was my first year as a starter and after getting a full year under my belt, I'm starting to feel more comfortable with everything."
On what he learned from playing behind an All-Pro and consummate professional in Tony Richardson:
"I learned a lot from him, his experience playing in the league for all those years really rubbed off on me and I believe that it has and will continue to make me a better player going into my third year."
(Being more specific): "He gave me pointers on how to be a professional, things like taking care of yourself, talking to the media, everything really."
On what seems to be his current/most popular nickname within the locker room:
"I don't know, I hear them both. I hear "Con-crete" and I hear "Terminator" so whatever it is, I'll take it."

16 U.S. Code § 2703 - Loans for project costs
(a) Authority
The Secretary is authorized to make loans to any municipality, electric cooperative, industrial development agency, nonprofit organization, or other person of up to 75 percent of the project costs of a small hydroelectric power project. No such loan may be made unless the Secretary finds that—
(2) all licenses and other required Federal, State, and local approvals necessary for construction of the project have been issued,
(3) the project will have no significant adverse environmental effects, including significant adverse effects on fish and wildlife, on recreational use of water, and on stream flow, and
(4) the project will not have a significant adverse effect on any other use of the water used by such project.
The Secretary may make a commitment to make a loan under this subsection to an applicant who has not met the requirements of paragraph (2), pending compliance by such applicant with such requirements. Such commitment shall be for period [1] of not to exceed 3 years unless the Secretary, in consultation with the Commission, extends such period for good cause shown. Notwithstanding any such commitment, no such loan shall be made before such person has complied with such requirements.
(b) Preference
The Secretary shall give preference to applicants under this section who do not have available alternative financing which the Secretary deems appropriate to carry out the project and whose projects will provide useful information as to the technical and economic feasibility of—

Sitting proud above the riverside promenade, its sweeping terrace runs the full length of the hotel.
Enjoy a glass of Pimms, share a bottle of wine, or indulge yourself with Champagne. Choose a light meal from the lounge menu or dine from the full Tides Restaurant menu whilst sat on the terrace enjoying the view.

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken UNLV forward Anthony Bennett with the top overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-7 Bennett, the highest drafted Canadian ever, averaged a team- leading 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds while being named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year last season.
The selection of Bennett comes as a bit of a shock, as Kentucky's Nerlens Noel was considered the favorite to be the No. 1 pick when the draft began Thursday night at the Barclays Center.
Bennett, who was born in Toronto, is the second UNLV player to be chosen No. 1. The Charlotte Hornets took Larry Johnson first overall in 1991.
Bennett will try to help the Cavaliers get back to their winning ways for the first time since LeBron James left the franchise and went to the Miami Heat following the 2010 season. The Cavs were a playoff team for six straight years with James, but have missed the postseason the last three.
Last season, the Cavs went 24-58 and fired head coach Byron Scott, then hired back Mike Brown, who previously served as the team's head coach from 2005-10.
This marks the 30th and last time David Stern announcing the top overall pick. He will step down as commissioner Feb. 1 and will be replaced by Adam Silver.
The Orlando Magic have the second pick, followed by Washington, Charlotte and Phoenix.

The Massena Central and St. Lawrence Central varsity baseball produced contrasting NAC wins on their home diamonds on Tuesday.
Massena 19, Canton 7: The host Raiders steadily worked their way to a 12-4 lead through the first four innings then broke the game open with a seven-run barrage in the fifth en route to avenging one of their Central Division losses.
Tyler Haas worked the first five innings for the win, striking out five and walking two while allowing 10 hits and four earned runs. Joey LaBelle came on to work the final two frames in relief where he fannked three and walked one while giving up just one more hit. Alex Hayes had five strikeouts and three walks through the first three innings in taking the loss.
The quartet of Connor Paquin, Isaiah Dillabough, Patrick Manning and Zack Rusaw accounted for the majority of the Raider offense. Paquin had four hits, including a double, and came around to score four runs. Dillabough connected for three hits, including a two-run double, drove in four runs and came around to scored twice. Manning, a freshman playing in only his second varsity game since being called up from the JV squad, also had three hits, including a two-run triple that keyed a three-run rally in the third inning and a two-run single that was part of a four-run fourth and an RBI-single to finish with five RBI while Rusaw singled, doubled and scored a run. Logan Deshane chipped in a two-run double in the second inning.
Bryant Wentworth (2 runs scored), Mike Cougler (1 run scored) and Hayes drilled two hits apiece for the Bears.
The Raiders host Central rival Potsdam this afternoon starting at 4 p.m.
SLC 3, Tupper Lake 0: In Brasher Falls, Tyler Savage came a seventh-inning single away from firing a no-hitter as the Larries built an early lead and made it stand for the win. Savage finished with 15 strikeouts and survived eight walks to pitch the shutout. while Mitch Keniston (6K, 3BB) went the distance in taking the loss.
Devon Euto sparked the SLC offense going 2-3 with two runs scored. Nate McLaughlin doubled home a run and scored a run. Hayden St. Hilaire also poled an RBI-double while Savage singled.
Devin Larson singled with one out in the seventh to spoil Savages no-hit bid.
The Larries got all the runs they would need in their first at-bat where Euto singled then came home in front of McLaughlins double. McLaughlin would score the second SLC run on an error. Euto singled in the third then scored the final run of the game when St. Hilaire drilled a two-out double.
The Larries return to action on Monday with a double-header at home against St. Regis Falls starting at 4 p.m.
All the other NAC varsity baseball matchups staged on Tuesday took place in the West Division where Harrisville dropped Clifton-Ine 15-3, Lisbon beat Hermon-DeKalb 16-1, Heuvelton handled Morristown 12-3 and Edwards-Knox stopped Hammond 10-2.
In a modified baseball contest reported on Tuesday, Norwood-Norfolk improved to 7-0 with a 13-10 win over Heuvelton.
Gage Orogolio pitched six innings for the win, allowing six runs, and made lead offensive contributions going 2-2 with a double and two RBIs. Tristen St. Andrews went 4-4 with a double and three RBIs. Peter Jarvis (RBI), Zack Benware (2RBI), Zack Harvey and Caleb Bresett all had solo hits. Judson Colbert drew a pair of walks while Zack Wilby provided the defensive highlight with a running catch in centerfield where he held onto the ball despite colliding with the left fielder.
The modified Flyers are slated to take on Parishville this afternoon.
