(US) CFP (edition proposals): A-R Editions series Recent Researches in Music; Collegium Musicum: Yale University
"CFP: A-R Editions
A-R Editions seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the seven Recent Researches in Music series (Middle Ages and Early Renaissance, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries, American Music, and Oral Traditions). Each edition is usually devoted to works by a single composer or to a single genre of composition and contains an introduction to the music and its historical context, a critical report, and translations of vocal texts.
A-R Editions also seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the Collegium Musicum: Yale University series. This series seeks to present a varied selection of works that draws from a particular repertory or historical context or that reflects a particular thematic focus. The works should be of interest to early music performers and ensembles (medieval through mid-18th century).

Wade Automotive Products was started in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the 1980s by Jeff Wade, making high quality truck bed protection products. The company developed an unsurpassed expertise in making high-impact resistant products that are reliable and easy to install. Over the years the product line was expanded into wind deflectors, bug shields, hood scoops and other products that enhance the appearance of a vehicle while protecting vital parts from damage. The company was acquired by Westin Automotive Products of Irwindale, California. Westin has built a solid reputation as a producer of quality truck accessories since the 1970s. The top quality profile of Wade Automotive Products and its complimentary product line was a perfect fit to the Westin organization. The move has strengthened both brands and Westin Automotive Products is now, with the addition of Wade and other brands, expanding in the automotive aftermarket and widening its product line to go beyond truck accessories.

< Viewing models in 3 dimensions | Understanding SketchUp Objects >
You will likely want to create progressively more detailed models as you become more proficient with SketchUp. SketchUp contains several features allowing you to quickly create detailed or life-like models. These features include components, materials, shadows, and styles.
SketchUp allows you to paint materials on faces to add detail and realism to your models. Materials are essentially paints that have a colorand optional texture (defined within a image file). For example, a siding material with the color of grey and an appearance or texture simulating real overlapped composite siding. Following is a building painted with grey composite siding and grey shingle roofing materials. A grass material is also used on the ground.
As with components, SketchUp comes with a collection of materials. You can paint these materials on your models using the Paint Bucket tool. Additionally, you can create your own materials within SketchUp (using the color wheel), or by importing texture-like images (such as the image of a wood flooring). In fact, you can import an entire image of a real-world object (such as a picture of a car), and manipulate it over your 3D model to give your model a truly realistic appearance.
Default material
Geometry in SketchUp is assigned a default material as it is created. The default material can be changed by painting the geometry with a material.
Material Transparency
Materials also have a opacity property (a number between 0 and 100%) allowing you to create materials that behave like glass. Paint these materials on faces to create windows.
Faces have two sides. SketchUp materials are normally applied to a single side of a face at a time. Painting a default colored side with transparent material will result in both sides of that face being treated as transparent allowing the surface to be transparent when viewed from both sides. If the back side of a face has already been painted with some non-transparent material, applying a transparent material to the front side will not cause the back side to also display as transparent. Likewise, if you paint the back side of a face with a different transparent material, it will not effect the front side. Thus, by specifically applying a material to both sides, it is possible to have transparent faces that can have different colors and levels of transparency on each side.
- Quick selection. When you select a Group, all elements within that group are selected as well.
- Isolation of geometry. Entities within groups are protected from the rest of the model. Geometry outside of the group does not affect the geometry within the group
- Model organization. Groups can be nested within other groups resulting in hierarchical collection of subgroups.
- Group material. The group as a whole can be assigned a material of its own, which is separate from the materials painted on individual entities within the group. See the Materials section within this topic for further information.
- Drawing Axes. Groups maintain their own internal drawing axes.
- Alignment and Hole Cutting. Groups have a special behavior that allows them to properly align themselves and stick to faces on which they are placed (as well as cut holes in those faces).
Components are just a group with special behaviors, namely behaviors allowing them to be inserted in other models. For example, you might create a model of a car that you want to bring into other SketchUp models, such as the model of a house. Any models you create can be a component.
Components have the following characteristics, in addition to the characteristics of groups:
- component definition. The component definition is the blueprint that defines the appearance and behavior of all component instances (created when you insert the component in the model). Editing a component instance edits the definition and all instances accordingly. However, some actions, such as scaling an instance, only affects the instance itself.
- Improved Performance. Components allow SketchUp to more efficiently use your computer's resources because the information necessary to describe a component is only stored once, in the component definition, and then referenced for every component instance.
- Drawing Axes. Components display their own internal drawing axes when you are editing the component.
- Alignment and Hole Cutting. You can define alignment and hole cutting behavior when creating components (it is automatically defined for groups).
Group and component context
Entities within a group or component are said to exist within the group or component's scope or context. You can modify a group or component as a whole (affecting all of the entities within the group or component) or edit the group or component's individual entities (within the group or component's context). Additionally, you can nest components within other components, groups within components, components within groups and so on. The following image shows a shelf component has been selected (as indicated by the yellow selection color) using the Select tool. This shelf is composed of several subcomponents, such as slats.
The following image shows the shelf component being edited. Notice that it has a dashed bounding box to indicate you are in the component's context. In this case, a subcomponent, one of the slats in the shelf, has been selected. That slat is within the context of the shelf. Also notice that the component's axes are displayed in the lower left-hand corner.
Finally, the following image shows the slate component being edited. Notice now that there is a dashed bounding box around the component, and around the slat being edited. The entities, such as the lines and face, that compose that individual slat are said to be in the context of the slat.
Component collections
Component collections have been created and included with SketchUp to allow you to easily add detail to your models. These components range from standard architectural components (doors, windows, and so on) to people, cars, trees, and geometric shapes. You can also create your own collections of components from pre-existing components or components you create yourself.
Component axes
Components have their own axes which, by default, are aligned to the global axes in the drawing area. These axes can be moved affecting component placement in the model.
Cutting and gluing behavior
Components, such as doors and windows, can be designed such that they can be placed on specifically-oriented surfaces such as vertical wall surfaces. This behavior is referred to as the gluing behavior of a component.
Additionally, components can be designed to automatically cut holes in surfaces, such as in the case of a window component being able to cut a hole in a wall. This behavior is referred to as the cutting behavior of a component.
Layers, groups and components
Layers are a mechanism for controlling the visibility of entities within a model. Entities can be assigned to different layers in a model and those layers, and their contents, can be displayed independently. Groups and Components are used to isolate geometry as sub-models within an overall model, such as a component of a chair within a model of a room.
A style is a predefined set of display settings that can be applied to a model, and the drawing area, to give it a specific look-and-feel. A style can consist of a specific edge type, face type, sky and background color,watermark,and other drawing area effects (such as the color used to represent selected geometry). SketchUp has multiple styles, some best used while drawing a model (because they don't use any intensive rendering effects), others are best suited for printing or presenting a model (because they use rendering effects to give a model a hand-drawn appearance). For example, a pre-defined style might have an edge type of jitter edges, a face type of hidden line mode, a background color of white, a sky color of blue, a ground color of brown, and so on.
Sketchy edges
SketchUp allows you to apply various edge types, including hand-drawn sketchy edges, to your model. Sketchy edges are edges that can be unique from any other edge style in SketchUp because, unlike other pre-defined edge types, you can create your own sketchy edge using a drawing program like PhotoShop. Sketchy edges are simply a collection of different hand-drawn strokes that, when combined and applied to model, give the a model a unique hand-drawn appearance.
Watermarksare images placed in the background or foreground of the drawing area and span the entire area just as sky and ground. Watermarks are great for creating backgrounds, such as simulating paper textures beneath a model. Watermarks can also be used to place logos and other graphics directly on the screen.
SketchUp allows you to cast shadows on your model as though the model were in a real-world environment. These shadows can be cast based on time of day and virtual location of the model in the real-world. For example, you can set shadows to see exactly what a model of a house would look like at 10:20 am, December 10, in Boulder, Colorado, which is the default location. Finally, SketchUp's shadows are designed to provide dynamic feedback as you change geometry and your camera viewpoint. The shadow casting feature in SketchUp is a great way to give your models a better sense of depth and realism.
Ground shadows
Ground shadows use the faces in your model to create a flattened set of faces on the ground plane. These faces are colored and positioned based on the background color and the angle of the sun. Although faster than face shadows, the illusion that ground shadows provide only works on the ground plane. The following figure shows a model whose geometry all lies on or above the ground plane.
Face shadows
Face shadows use the sun angle to project shadows based on the location of faces relative to other faces. For example, a shadow is cast on the stairs in the following figure, based on the face of the vertical 3d rectangle. The calculation used to create face shadows is processor-intensive, however, and will slow down performance with large models.
The two shadow systems are designed to be complimentary, and you may often wish to have both types enabled simultaneously.

|Some rowdy Mountaineers: Tell us what you think
|Monday, 17 December 2007 09:55
As the Mountaineer football players rounded out the last three minutes of play in Friday's FCS title contest, some Mountaineer fans got rowdy and tried to charge the field early.Security had difficulty holding back the excitement.

28 U.S. Code § 42 - Allotment of Supreme Court justices to circuits
The Chief Justice of the United States and the associate justices of the Supreme Court shall from time to time be allotted as circuit justices among the circuits by order of the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice may make such allotments in vacation.
A justice may be assigned to more than one circuit, and two or more justices may be assigned to the same circuit.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 870.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 215 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 119,36 Stat. 1131; Dec. 23, 1944, ch. 724, 58 Stat. 925).
The authority of the Chief Justice in vacation to assign a circuit justice to more than one circuit was extended by omitting the phrase "whenever by reason of death or resignation, no Justice is allotted to a circuit."
The provision in section 215 of Title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., that, for the purposes of said section, the "District of Columbia shall be deemed to be a judicial circuit," was omitted, since the District of Columbia is made a judicial circuit by section 41 of this title.
The last paragraph was added to make clear the intent of Congress that the powers of the Court to assign the justices among the several circuits should be completely flexible.
Changes were made in phraseology.

Eric B. Soluris life took off once he joined the Air Force. But lately, its gone Full Throttle.
The Watertown native was recently promoted to chief master sergeant, a rank only 1 percent of enlisted Air Force personnel holds. But away from that profession, Chief Master Sgt. Soluri can be seen on national television as a regular and chief of security on truTVs Full Throttle Saloon.
How he got the television gig demonstrates his drive and eagerness to succeed, with a plan to eventually return to Watertown to become mayor.
The 1991 Watertown High School graduate, operations superintendent of the 28th Security Forces Squadron at Ellsworth (S.D.) Air Force Base, said he joined the Air Force because his best friend from childhood, Kenneth G. Shean II, decided to join and they hoped to serve together. Chief Master Sgt. Soluri said he also wanted to impress his girlfriend at the time.
That was how I made my life decision, Mr. Soluri said in a phone interview from Ellsworth. It was pretty odd.
Mr. Soluri, son of Ora L. and Juanita M. Soluri, Watertown, has served in several posts, including security forces flight chief, non-commissioned officer in charge of security forces training, chief, investigations section, enlisted accessions recruiter, recruiting school instructor and instructor supervisor and superintendent. He has been deployed in support of Operation Southern Watch, Eskan Village, Saudi Arabia, and Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Ali Al Salam, Kuwait.
He has always been a fan of the truTVs Full Throttle Saloon, which is in its fourth season. The rowdy, reality television show documents the happenings at the worlds largest biker bar. Its open for just 10 days a year in August during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, one of the largest bike rallies in the U.S. The saloon hosts biker-friendly acts such as dancing girls, burlesque shows and music acts.
I always watched the show and saw how inept their security was and how they had issues with the individuals they had running their security, Mr. Soluri said.
Two years ago, he and an associate drove to the saloon in Sturgis, S.D., and asked for a meeting with owner Michael Ballard.
He came out and I gave him my sales pitch, Mr. Soluri said. The talk focused on the shows security issues.
I told him Im the guy who is going to rectify all of that and provide as much security as he wanted free of charge, he said.
All Mr. Soluri asked for in return, he said, was a donation to the 28th Security Forces Defenders Association, a private nonprofit group based at Ellsworth consisting of Air Force law enforcement personnel. Mr. Soluri is its senior adviser. He proposed members of the Defenders would donate off-duty time to provide security at the bar.
Mr. Ballard agreed to the arrangement and Mr. Soluri provided 30 volunteers from the Defenders in 2011. He expected Mr. Ballard to write a check for around $6,000.
He wrote us a check for $27,000, Mr. Soluri said. I thought that was pretty neat.
For the shows current season, there were 100 volunteers from the Defenders. Mr. Ballard donated $61,000 to the group.
This year, weve been able to do some phenomenal things to help out so many different families on base, Mr. Soluri said. He noted those services include a scholarship program for Air Force spouses and a drug education program for high schoolers.
Last fall, Mr. Soluris 17-year-old son, Logan, was diagnosed with cancer and the organization provided assistance for that battle. Mr. Soluri also has a daughter, Kaylee, age 16.
more time on camera
Besides security, the Defenders Association is in charge of other show aspects ranging from setting up and tearing down stages to VIP meet and greets and T-shirt sales at Full Throttle Saloon.
During his first season on the show last year, Mr. Soluri was on camera a couple of times. This year, his camera time has increased greatly.
They miked me up, gave me my own camera crew, which was the oddest thing ever, and said, Go out and do your job and pay no attention to the camera crew following you every second of the day, he said.
He said those cameras are noticed only during the slower times.
All of your focus is on taking care of the crowd, taking care of the patrons and making sure you do a good job, Mr. Soluri said. You are focused on making sure everyone is safe and secure and theyre having the time of their life.
He said the task is second nature to his crew, which also works at larger events such as air shows with 200,000 patrons. He said he sets high standards for his crew.
You have to be able to manage a crowd of 50,000 people plus manage your volunteers to make sure they are hydrated and getting breaks, he said.
Many of the issues his team deals with at Full Throttle Saloon are alcohol-related. But the focus is always on safety.
The heat in South Dakota is quite unbearable at times, Mr. Soluri said. There are times when its 100 degrees, and if you have somebody who is drinking who is not rotating water with alcohol, that will eventually catch up to him.
At times, Mr. Soluri is called upon to do odd jobs.
I cant tell you how many motorcycles I tried to fix in the parking lot, he said.
He provided personal security for singer Tanya Tucker last year. He joined a motorcycle ride with her through the Black Hills organized by Angie Carlson, lead dancer and marketing director at Full Throttle. Ms. Tucker drove a Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe. Its the same model of motorcycle Mr. Soluri drives. His 2012 model was a gift from his wife to replace his 2003 Harley Sportster.
A notable moment on this years show came when Mr. Soluri got into a verbal altercation and almost physical altercation with Sebastian Bach, the former lead singer of the band Skid Row, who now has a solo career.
I grew up listening to him, Mr. Soluri said. To have him 6 inches from my face yelling at me was quite a shocker. That was quite interesting to deal with.
managing the fun
The task of the security team is allowing people to have fun while respecting the rights of others.
Its much like a large police force trying to corral a mob of people who are just trying to have the best time and have a full Sturgis experience, Mr. Soluri said. Sturgis is like Las Vegas for adults. I equate Las Vegas with being in that 21 to 30 age range. Sturgis is that 30 to 60 range. Theyve been coming for 10 to 12 years. And they come to the Full Throttle every time because they know they are going to get treated well, know its a high quality place with high quality bands.
He added that an attraction of the show is that it documents real happenings.
Getting to watch through the TV is probably the next best thing to actually being here, he said. They feel like theyre part of the family even though they are sitting in their living room.
The 73rd annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is Aug. 5 through 11. Mr. Soluri said he will continue to run security operations and will be on the show again.
Political plans
Mr. Soluri has been in the Air Force for 21 years. He said hell probably put in 30 years.
Ideally, Id like to get my Juris Doctorate in law and then come back to Watertown to become mayor, he said.
Noting that hes lived at seven Air Forces bases in the U.S. and about five locations overseas, he said, You get to see how different cities are run, how they have grown throughout the time youve been there. So I think Ive got some great ideas I can bring back to Watertown.
He still keeps in touch with his former girlfriend in Watertown whom he wanted to impress by joining the Air Force. But he married a Boston native. Elaina is a senior master sergeant in the Air Force, which is one rank below chief master sergeant.
He also keeps in close touch with his boyhood friend Kenneth Shean II. Mr. Shean retired two months ago, Mr. Soluri said, as a master sergeant security forces flight chief, at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb.
We were never based together in our entire career, Mr. Soluri said.

How to log into your Web Host Manager (WHM)
This article pertains to WHM, a feature only available to VPS Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, and Reseller Hosting users. Shared Hosting users do not have WHM access.
Web Host Manager can be accessed in two ways, through AMP and directly through the URL.
What is my WHM Username and Password?
cPanel is tied into WHM, and because of this, you'll use the same cPanel username and password to log into WHM. If you change your cPanel password, it is changing your WHM password as well.
How to Access WHM from within AMP
- Log into AMP
- Under your account name, click the WHM button.
If your WHM password matches your AMP password, you will automatically be logged in. Otherwise, you will be redirected to the WHM login page.
How to Access WHM from your domain
WHM operates over two different ports:
- 2086 (does not use SSL)
- 2087 (Uses SSL)
You can log into WHM using variations of your domain name. Some of the options log you in over an SSL encrypted connection, and others don't. For security reasons, we recommend you always login over ssl. The following is a list of various URLs you can use to log into your WHM:
- https://vps####.inmotionhosting.com:2087 (SSL) - This URL should be entered as https://hostname.com:2087. As you're going over an SSL connection and your hostname uses a self signed certificate, you may receive an SSL warning. It is safe to accept the warning and continue.
- YourDomain.com/whm (non SSL)
- whm.YourDomain.com (non SSL)
If you are unable to connect to your WHM with yourdomain.com/whm or vps####.inmotionhosting.com:2087, you may have a block on those ports. Using the whm.yourdomain.com URL will go over the proxy port 80. Port 80 is the standard internet port so you should have no problem connecting with whm.yourdomain.com.
Congratulations, now you know how to login to your WHM!

Flights to Krakow from Europe
Church of St. Adalbert is located to the side of the Main Market Square in Old Town, and is one of the oldest stone churches in Poland. Its almost one thousand year old history goes back to the beginning of the Polish Romanesque architecture of the early Middle Ages.Address: Plac Mariacki 6, KrakowPhone: +48 12 422 83 52Website: http://www.kosciolwojciecha.pl
This is the last surviving part of the former 14th-century town hall. It has become, accidentally, the city's own leaning tower, as it bends slightly off-centre by 55cm, apparently caused by the wind.Address: Rynek Główny 1, KrakowPhone: +48 12 619 23 18Website: http://www.mhk.pl/branches/town-hall-tower
This 15th-century Synagogue houses a permanent exhibition entitled "the Tradition and Culture of Jews in Krakow". The area surrounding the synagogue has been highlighted in Steven Spielberg's, "Schindler's List."Address: 24 Szeroka Street, KrakowPhone: +48 12 422 09 62Website: http://www.mhk.pl/branches/old-synagogue
Here you can see a vast collection of ancient works of art from Greece and Egypt, but the key artworks here, have to be Leonardo da Vinci's, "Lady with an Ermine" and Rembrandt's, "Landscape with the Good Samaritan".Address: św. Jana 19, KrakowPhone: +48 12 370 54 60Website: http://www.muzeum-czartoryskich.krakow.pl
This is one of the few surviving parts of the ancient defence system that once surrounded the Old Town. Built approximately 1285 it was the main defence of the north. Further towers were added in the 15th-century, but the Florian Gate is the only remaining gate from the original eight. In 1660, the Florian Gate was extended to include a Baroque roof, raising its height by one metre and today it measures around 33.5 meters.Address: Floriańska, KrakowMore info: The Florian Gate is in the centre of Krakow, near Kraków-Główny Bus Station.
At the heart of the city lies what was once the largest square in Medieval Europe. It has been the hub of the city, ever since the historical district of the Old Town got its present grid of streets in the 13th century. The Market Square is still very much the soul of the city.Address: Rynek Glowny, Krakow
A tour of the Gothic castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill is essential for any visitor to the city. See the bones of Smok Wawelski, the mythical dragon of Wawel Hill.

Most travel agents organise day excursions to the camp. The Museum is about 2 km from the train station Oświęcim, and can be reached from there by local buses.Address: AuschwitzWebsite: http://en.auschwitz.org/m/More info: The Museum is located on the outskirts of the city of Oświęcim on national road 933. Note: entry to the parking lot on ulica Stanisławy Leszczyńskiej.
This is the old Jewish district where the city's Jewish population have lived for over 500 years. This is an ideal place to experience some of Krakow's Jewish culture and history. You will also find a range of cafés and restaurants, along with many museums, synagogues and cemeteries.Address: Kazimierz, Krakow

The Eyes Have It
$10 million grant will help the School of Medicine develop new treatments for retinal disease.
With the help of a $10 million grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI), researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine will focus on developing new treatments for retinal disease.
Diseases that impact the retina—the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye that transmits images to the brain via the optic nerve—are a leading cause of blindness in the United States. More than 1.3 million Americans are legally blind, and 8 to 10 million people show signs of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-an incurable deterioration of the retina that has emerged as the primary cause of blindness in adults over the age of 55 in the U.S.
The five-year grant from the NEI, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will fund the work of researchers in the departments of pharmacology, ophthalmology and biomedical engineering at the medical school who are working in collaboration with the Retinal Therapeutics Study Group.
The research team's goal is to develop new drugs by evaluating existing drugs' effectiveness in treating AMD and other degenerative retinal diseases.
The team has already examined 24 FDA-approved drugs from antibiotics to cancer-fighting medications and found at least 16 that demonstrated the potential to limit the progression of retinal diseases.
The team includes researchers from the Cincinnati Drug Discovery Center, the University of Pennsylvania and Washington University.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Former Section 10 standouts played lead roles for the SUNY Potsdam softball team on Monday as the Lady Bears posted a pair of non-league wins.
Now more than halfway through a challenging preseason trip to Florida, the Lady Bears improved to 5-1 with the sweep.
Potsdam 3, Rainy River 0: In the first game of the day for Potsdam, Heuvelton product Megan Johnson only faced two batters over the limit in tossing a complete-game one-hitter to earn the win in her 2013 season debut. Johnson finished with five strikeouts and allowed just one walk to account for the lone other baserunner.
The St. Lawrence Central duo of Molly McCuin and Ashley Thayer combined with Alexis Lerman to spark the winning offense as Potsdam made the most of its six hits against losing pitcher Oashaja Dobie (11K, 3BB). McCuin went 2-3 and came around to score runs in the second and sixth innings in front of RBI-singles by Lerman. Thayer scored the other run of the game in the top of the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Amanda Perry. Johnson also singled in the winning effort along with Brittany Thivierge. Lerman also stole three bases while Heather Johnson, who drew a pair of walks, and Thayer each notched a pair.
Kristen Cruickshank singled to account for the lone Rainy River hit.
Posdam 7, Elgin 2: In the second contest, the Bears downed Elgin under the lights. The Spartans struck first in the second inning with a two run shot up the middle. Freshman Samantha Cohn (Harris, N.Y.) answered in the bottom of the inning with a single to bring in McCuin. The freshman continued the momentum in the next inning with a single to left field to give Potsdam the 3-2 advantage. Lerman would add to the lead with a rip up the middle to drive in two more runs. Thivierge) capped off the Potsdam scoring in the fourth inning bringing in senior captain Heather Johnson (Heuvelton, N.Y.)).
Cohn concluded two for three with one run and two RBI. Lerman followed suit with two RBIs of her own. Freshman Jordan Sarat (Caledonia, N.Y.) went six innings on the mounds, recording two strikeouts and allowing five hits. Thayer came in to relieve the freshman in the final inning and finished with one strikeout.
The Lady Bears continue their Florida trip with a pair of games today against Purchase College at 9 a.m. and then against Elgin College at 11 a.m.
The SUNY Canton womens lacrosse team saw their two-game winning streak snapped by Oswego State as the Lakers handed the Roos a 17-6 loss in Canton on Monday.
Junior Brooke Knight (Madrid, N.Y.) scored three goals to lead the Roos attack. Freshman Keeley Rice (Potsdam, N.Y.) had two goals and a team-high six ground balls and four caused turnovers. Sophomore Tressa Goolden (Canton, N.Y.) contributed one goal and two assists along with two ground balls, and freshman Alyssa Altschuler (Cheshire, Conn.) made 10 saves and had four ground balls for SUNY Canton (2-3).
The Lakers (3-2) scored the first four goals of the game and Knight stopped the run scoring her first goal on a free position shot with 20:10 left in the opening half. Oswego scored twice more to open a 6-1 lead, but the Roos fought back and scored two man-down goals 23 seconds apart. Knight scored off a nice feed from Goolden with 5:57 remaining, and then Goolden scored on a free position to close the gap to three goals, 6-3. Oswego then pumped in three straight before Rice scored from Goolden with 39 seconds left, and Oswego took a 9-4 lead into halftime.
Knight scored her third and final goal 1:50 into the second half, but Oswego went on another strong run with three unanswered. Rice scored her second goal unassisted with 20:22 on the clock, and Oswego closed the game scoring the final five goals.
The Roos generated 22 shots in the game and had 25 ground balls, and they also forced Oswego into 25 turnovers.
Errannan Shattuck had four goals and one assist to lead Oswego. Mackenzie Kjerstad added three goals, and Nikki Greco and Lauren Marois combined for 11 saves in goal.
The Roos hit the road for their next game when they travel to Utica to face SUNYIT on Wednesday.

Comments about Camelbak Delaney Race Hydration Pack (2010 Season):
I thought this belt would be good on longer runs for some additional hydration. The Camelbak bottle is nice, the problem is the belt. After 3 tries it just doesn't work for me. I have a lean build and even if I tighten the belt as tight as I can stand it on my hips it will ride up. If I tighten it higher up my waste it will eventually move and rotate. Very frustrating:(

BP's Woes Mount
July 6, 2010 | Natasha Alperowicz
The U.K. media is continuing to speculate on the future of BP, following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Times newspaper reports today that the UK government is drawing up contingency plans for a possible collapse of BP as fears mount that it will be broken up or taken over. ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell are tipped as the most likely candidates to acquire the company. UK prime minister David Cameron and Chris Huhne, the energy secretary, are due to discuss BP's future with US officials in Washington on July 20th. These reports follow speculation that...

NHL HARD KNOCKS? MORE LIKE CAMP COZYOne-way, guaranteed deals do not spark competition
I'm daring Garth Snow and Scott Gordon. If a challenger out-works and out-plays an incumbent and therefore earns his position, I want to see the GM and coach of the Islanders give a player with a two-way contract an opening night roster spot over a player on a one-way deal.
For example, if Trevor Smith, Jesse Joensuu, Andrew MacDonald or veterans like Greg Moore or Matt Moulson have a superior training camp over – just throwing out some names here – Jeff Tambellini or Blake Comeau or Freddy Meyer, reward them with an NHL job. Send the NHL-signed player to the minors.
Doesn't happen very often in the NHL.
Don't confuse the battles currently raging in National Football League camps with job competition in the NHL. In the NFL, if someone gets out-worked and out-played – or doesn't come to camp in shape – he doesn't get paid. He gets cut. His non-guaranteed contract is worthless.
In the NHL, the cash is guaranteed. The Islanders have some young players with one-way deals – they get paid their NHL salary even if sent to the minors – despite failing to prove they are everyday NHL contributors. Tambellini is the obvious case. The Islanders also have veteran Jon Sim, entering the final year of his one-way deal.
With Sim, the Islanders have demonstrated they will waive and demote a player on a one-way, but the Sim case was about a player not committing to a coach's program. I want to see what happens if a player truly earns a spot in camp over a player on an NHL-only deal.
It would be quite a victory for an Islanders prospect or determined AHL veteran. It would be quite a statement for Snow and Gordon to make.
Imagine being told in your career search that you're one of 55 people in the running for 22 jobs. However, at least 18 of those contenders already have contracts for positions and the other spots are pretty much nailed down. That's kind of what life is like at an NHL training camp. Hard knocks? Not really.
More than 55 players will travel to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan next month for Islanders camp. Only 21 or 22 will make the Islanders' lineup. Based on one-way contracts and other matters, the team is essentially pre-picked.
Don't worry: between his world class skill level, box office drawing power and his maximum Entry Level contract that puts the Islanders above the cap floor, John Tavares will make the big club. Fellow entry levelers Kyle Okposo and Josh Bailey will also make the club. So the NHL roster is all but finalized.
Of course, training camp is another chance to look at Travis Hamonic, Calvin de Haan and other prospects. The Saskatoon camp will also have the subplot of tough forward Matt Martin trying to prove he's worth what his agent is asking for, not what the Islanders are offering.
But the Martin drama at camp is as rare as it is unfortunate. With the advent of prospect camps, there isn't as compelling a reason to "look at all the kids" at traditional September training camps. The process is overrated. Scott Gordon is an honorable gentleman who has time for all of his players. But in the short-term life of an NHL coach, it's human nature for Gordon to focus more on this season's roster than project where a Hamonic or a Casey Cizikas might fit in his system in a few years.
Some teams – as the Islanders have done in the past – conduct pre-camp workouts to look at their prospects and farmhands before assigning them back to junior or the AHL. These "rookie camps" enable the coaching staff to get to more manageable numbers before the main show begins. The last I heard, the Islanders are not having a rookie camp on Long Island before leaving for Saskatoon. There will be some rookie games out west.
The Islanders are also not involved in any pre-season rookie tournaments, a great way to learn what your prospects can do against real competition. Boston, Toronto, Ottawa and Pittsburgh are having their kids hit each other in Kitchener from Sept. 6-10. Eight teams – the Rangers, Carolina, Atlanta, Detroit, Columbus, Dallas, Minnesota and St. Louis – will watch their prospects battle in a tournament in Traverse City.
One assumes the Islanders are satisfied with their July prospect camps' effectiveness in the development process.
The uphill battle can be a source of frustration for AHL players on two-way contracts who often believe – some with good reason – that they could get a goal a game in the preseason and skate through a wall and still not make the club. This reminds me of a funny scene a few years ago in training camp in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
I was out one night at the one good bar in town. They had this band that did incredible covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Easily more than half of the 50 players in camp were there, and it was getting close to their 11:00 pm curfew. The first intrasquad scrimmage was the next morning. For some players, that was their best opportunity to bid for a job.
The Islanders GM and coaches decided they wanted to come out for a drink and play a few games of pool, so they called me and my colleague to let us know. It was their way of extending a courtesy to the players; since it was going to be after 11:00 pm by the time they arrived via taxi, the players might want to take our hint and get the heck out of the bar.
Just about all of the players appreciated the gesture and headed for the team hotel. A few waited until the honchos showed up, bolting for a pre-arranged back door.
One player, a strong AHLer young enough to still dream of the NHL, decided he wasn't going to leave. Bitter that he had no realistic shot to make the team (that was his view), he decided he was going to finish his drink. I couldn't believe it. This guy had a game in the morning, a chance to make his mark.
But he didn't see it that way. He was one of those AHLers who felt there wasn't anything he could do to make the Islanders. So he stayed for a while past curfew, in full view of management. Before he finally staggered out, he said something that had us spitting up our beers. Told once again that he should really get out of the bar, he said, "What are the Islanders gonna do – cut me twice"?
We still joke about that line. The player was complete horsebleep in the scrimmage and now makes a nice living as a point-a-game player in Europe. I'm told there aren't any curfews, and the beer is especially good there.

Comments about Blackstar Series One 1046L6 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
While I don't make my money in music, I do have just short of 16 years experience as a guitarist now.
Like many guitarists, I've spent a lot of time looking for the perfect tone. A metal tone, in my case. Though, I certainly like versatility.
I tried many, playing as many as I could, and listening to audio and video clips by the thousands (very probably literally.) Even Mesa didn't have what I wanted. I considered ENGL... but that didn't have quite what I wanted. I'd never heard of Blackstar until I stumbled across them on YouTube by either luck ... or providence. They aren't common in my area, that is for sure. So I made the purchase based only what I heard in the clips - and with much worry and trepidation.
4 months later, I have no regrets. I'd do it again - only this time, I'd probably go with the 200 watt.
This amp has both versatility and tone in abundance, as all 4 of the channels are great and I have no doubt you can find what you are looking for - be it a warm clean or earth rending metal tone. It has served all of my moods quite well - from blues, to aggressive, to brutal, to technical, to epic blackened viking power metal. I have a Rivera Metal Shaman that I like to use on occasion, and the settings I tend to use on the clean channel while running the pedal even have a country twang. Funny how that works.
The clarity even at extremely heavy distorted tones is amazing, I'd never known it was possible prior to purchasing this amp... and I'm pretty fast.
There are no on-board effects, just raw tone. Lots of distortion. Not even an on-board reverb. Pretty straight forward in that respect, if you consider that a downside. For what you get, it is an easy fix. The only problem is deciding what pedals you want.
Other than that, the Blackstar slogan is "The Sound in your head.." I've found it to be closer to true than any other amp can claim.
Comments about Blackstar Series One 1046L6 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I am a beginner guitarist and I was looking to buy my first amp. I spent a lot of time listening to sound clips and decided to get the Blackstar Series One 1046L6 from Musician's Friend. To me it sounded like a great amp to get the deep heavy metal sounds I was looking for. I also was considering the ENGL Powerball, Mesa dual rectifier, Peavy 6505, What I like most is that even with heavy distortion dialed in I can hear every note where as other amps sounded muddy at fast tempos. There is a youtube video that makes this amp sound fuzzy but I think it must be a problem with the video because I don't hear anything except clear tones. The clean channel is very clean, I can't hear any interference at all and there is a bright switch on that channel. The crunch channel has a super crunch switch that can make this channel even heavier. The 3rd channel is OD1. Blackstar says this is for a British metal. OD2 is for American metal. So far of the 3 channels (excluding the clean) I haven't been able to figure out which one I like the most yet since all of them can be dialed in with heavy distortion. Each of the 4 channels has an equalizer and and ISF and a volume control (two channels share the eq and ISF dials so actually there are only two sets of EQ's and ISF). There is no reverb on this amp. Overall there is an abundance of adjustments to dial in the sound and it is going to take a long time to find my sound. What I find frustrating about this amp is that is has a volume control on each channel, and master volume that affects all channels, and then there is a knob that changes the wattage of the overall amp and I find it is difficult to figure out which one to turn when I want to adjust the volume. The foot switch basically has one button for to activate each channel. So far it is working well. This weight is highly concentrated on the right side of the amp so when you carry it with the handle it feels lopsided. If Blackstar is going to go with this configuration they need to put handles on the sides so one person can carry it with both hands. Keep this in mind if you plan on moving this thing around a lot. The black dials look good but they are a little hard to read the setting since there is only a small painted white dot on them to indicate the position of the dial. The amp seems to be constructed well. Nothing about it feels cheap to me. Some owners say the tubes that come with it dont last very long so I am a little worried about this. So far I am very happy with the amp and I plan on keeping it forever. I don't think there is anything out there with comparable features and sound that can compete at this price point especially if you can get a deal on it.

Nowadays, as long as the system is desinged sanely, it usually doesnt do more than bug me. Like SuSE. Linspire, Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora are all just forks as to how I want to do things.
For uber-reliable systems, CentOS is a nobrainer. If I dont need gaming or windows interoperability, OpenBSD is the choice then (for the uber systems at least).

Last updated: 31st May 2013The Stone Roses announce three big dates in 2013!June 2013Finsbury Park, London, Fri 7th June 2013Finsbury Park, London, Sat 8th June 2013Glasgow, Glasgow Green, Sat 15th June 2013Newport, Seaclose Park, 13th-16th June 2013 (Isle of Wight Festival)The Stone Roses formed in the 1983, released their first single in 1985 and their landmark debut, the eponymously titled "The Stone Roses," saw the light of day in 1989. Alongside bands such as James and The Inspiral Carpets, The Stone Roses were the poster boys of the then burgeoning "Madchester" scene. Their songs became anthems of a generation and have been one of the most influential indie bands. The follow-up album, "Second Coming" was released in 1994 but the first cracks were quickly showing. First, drummer Reni left the band before frictions between Ian Brown and guitarist, John Squire led to Squire's walk out in 1995. The band recruited Aziz Ibrahim on guitar but after a shambolic performance at the 1996 Reading Festival, the remaining band member decided to pull the plug. John Squire formed a new band, the short-lived The Seahorses, Mani famously joined Primal Scream as a full time member on bass guitar and Ian Brown embarked on a successful solo career. Speculations of a reunion have been making the rounds ever since the band broke up but it wasn't until John Squire and Ian Brown finally met and talked for the first time in 16 years, that a Stone Roses comeback finally seemed possible. Finally after such a long period of time, The Stone Roses are back on tour again!
Recently re-united, The Stone Roses have gone on a spending spree and spent a whooping £50,000 on an old fashioned hand-painted steam train.The Stone Roses are set to play their comeback shows at Manchester Heaton Park on 29th June 2012, 30th June 2012 and 1st July 2012.
Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown has reportedly confirmed this morning that re-union concerts will be taking place in Manchester and London in 2012. The iconic mancunian band who split in 1996 have been rumored to be reforming since April this year, however until today nothing had been confirmed. The rumor mill was rife on Friday when a publicist for the band refused to either confirm or deny rumors that of a series of gigs taking place next year is set to be announced on Tuesday. Adding fuel to the fire, magician and close friend of Brown 'Dynamo' supposedly showed reporters for The Sun newspaper a text from Brown which simply said: "We are going to rule the world again. It's happening".
