Before I get to the meat of my post, I thought I'd mention a few things:
First, the proper pronunciation is "die-kee-ree," not "dack-uh-ree."
Second, here's a nice page on the Daiquiri over at the WebtenderWiki, mostly compiled by ThinkingBartender.
From this post in the "Stomping Through the Savoy" thread.
Interesting. In the video, Angus says that Constantino of La Floridita (who he says invented the drink, which I believe is not exactly an accepted fact) tossed the lime shell into the shaker, presumably to include some of the oils. I've never heard of this. Anyone else?
One nifty trick I learned from Angus Winchester's Daiquiri Video is to drop the juiced lime shell into the cocktail shaker.
I actually am most fond of the Hemmingway Daiquiri, sometimes called the Hemmingway Special, which includes the addition of grapefruit juice and a touch of maraschino (but without the crushed ice as in a Papa Doble).

Although stress is an inevitable part of life the recession has amplified the nature, magnitude, and impact of stress for many around the globe. The threat or reality of losing a job or one's home, searching for work in an untenable job market, having to stretch an already thin budget even further, and many other concerns all cause fear, anxiety, worry, and frustration. Marc Skelton suggests that although what makes these types of stressors so problematic is our inability to control them, we do have control over how we respond. He suggests a number of strategies including using social support networks and reframing the situation. Coping comes in many forms and researchers have highlighted a new factor, self-compassion that may influence coping attempts. Those high in self-compassion (those who treat the self with kindness and concern in response to negative events) tend to avoid problems less and engage in cognitive restructuring more than those low in self-compassion whereas the two groups do not differ in problem solving or distraction (Allen & Leary, 2010). Treatment of the self during stressful events could also influence physiological and psychological adjustment as well as how one responds to others in need. Further work is needed to clarify how this and other characteristics might influence coping attempts.

By GUIDO RACHIELEPrice
Price's mayor, city council and Governor Jon Huntsman ought to be commended for bringing Sorensen Communications into the county.
This company will help every community in the county by supplying good jobs that will support our economy.
Along with the coal miners being called back to work and the Lila Canyon mine probably opening it will be a great help to the community.
Speaking of the Lila Canyon mine, I would like to appeal to Judge Dale Kimball who is handling the case the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance put against opening the mine.
Judge Kimball, you are a free thinking and intelligent individual, with an open mind. The operation by UtahAmerican Energy will not harm the soil, vegetation or animals. It will however, be a boost to the local economy.
SUWA just needs to stay out of Carbon and Emery counties.

Turkey Bowl Gamethread: New York Jets vs. New England Patriots 11.22.12
Who: New York Jets vs. New England Patriots
When: 8:20 p.m. EST
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Media: TV – NBC, DirecTV – N/A, Radio – ESPN 98.7 FM, Sirius – 93, Sirius XM – XM 226, Internet Audio – Audio Pass.
Their Previous Meeting: The last time these two teams met, it was an offensive battle to the end as both defenses struggled to neutralize their opponent. The Jets were plagued by a couple of self-inflicted miscues which headlined Devin McCourty running back 104 yards on a kickoff return and Sanchez kicking a fumbled snap into the back of the end zone for a safety. Despite all of this, the Jets' offense was able to keep pace with the Patriots and recapture the lead with a 1:37 remaining in regulation. However, leave it to Tom Brady with the game on the line and, more often than not, he'll burn you. Brady did just that orchestrating a drive that resulted in Stephen Gostkowski drilling a 47 yard field goal to tie the game as the clock expired. The Patriots received the ball to begin overtime and drove down the field however, the Jets' defense, in one of their rare moments of the night, clamped down and forced the Patriots to kick a field goal, affording them the opportunity to possess the ball. Their drive started off well enough as they managed to get to their own 40 yard line before Rob Ninkovich and Jermaine Cunningham made mince meat of their blockers and hit Sanchez, high and low respectively, for a sack and forced fumble which Ninkovich recovered to secure New England's victory.

Winning cures all. At least that was the feeling following the Jets' feel good win over the hapless St. Louis Rams and former in-house pariah Brian Schottenheimer. While it was nice to quell the cloud of panic that has muscled its way into the Jets' season more than once, it was a short turnaround as the Jets moved on to tonight's foe: New England. To their credit, the Patriots had a very convincing win over the Indianapolis Colts as Tom Brady picked apart the Colts' porous defense with ease and of course it helped to have two interceptions returned for touchdowns. However, I suspect tonight will be different for a variety of reasons. First of all, the Jets are not the Colts. Granted, the Jets have had their share of struggles especially on defense but, if they can replicate their performance from their first encounter with Brady, the errant kickoff return and breakdowns within the 2 minute mark notwithstanding, the Jets have a very real chance of pulling off an upset. Although Cromartie was beat for a touchdown on Sunday, he continues to prove week in and week out to be a very reliable presence in a Revis-less backfield. The Jets are at somewhat of a disadvantage after losing Isaiah Trufant to injury for the rest of the year as he was quite successful in shutting down the shifty Wes Welker in their first meeting however, it will be up to the next guy to take the reins and hopefully keep Welker on a short leash. The defense caught a bit of a break with Gronkowski out however, Aaron Hernandez is expected to return which means the Jets will need to keep spies on him throughout the game as Brady could look to get that connection kick-started early. With Sione Po'uha and Kenrick Ellis still hurting from their respective injuries, it may be difficult to command double teams and allow Coples and Wilkerson to create havoc however, if the Jets plan to win they absolutely must find ways for Wilkerson to get to Brady because he has proven once he gets to the quarterback, Wilkshake has the ability to make anything happen. The onus will also be on the linebackers to keep the Patriots' running game in check as they have multiple backs that have the ability to burn teams in a hurry, a fitting compliment for Brady.
Offensively, the Jets struggled early against the Rams but once Sanchez connected with Joe McKnight a few times for some considerable gains, the light seemed to go off and the Jets were never really in danger of losing from thereon. The Patriots gained some additional manpower in their secondary in the form of Aqib Talib however, he has not changed the fact that their defense is vulnerable, especially with Chandler Jones out with an ankle injury, and Sanchez was able to exploit them quite a bit in their first meeting, safety and fumble aside. The key will be to get Kerley and Schilens involved early and often and even Clyde Gates who has come on in recent weeks as a target Sanchez has grown comfortable with. Stephen Hill will continue to get looks, despite his struggles. Why? The man can create separation and will keep the Patriots' defense honest (and even more so if he can catch a damn pass). The Jets may also look to involve the rookie Jordan White whom they called up from the practice squad just yesterday and showed flashes earlier in the year. If Sanchez can make the throws that need to be made, that will open it up for Sparano to use the running game. Rex has said that the ideal solution is to use Greene, Powell and McKnight as a trio and I tend to agree because as we saw against the Rams it worked pretty well and McKnight has proven to be the most explosive of the bunch and could help provide a few sparks throughout the game. Finally, as much as some may not like it, you have to limit Tebow's snaps. As it is, he's already listed as questionable with a rib injury and I would think you'd want to protect your personal punt protector, spread option commander and back-up quarterback as much as possible–future investment and all you know. Tebow only saw three snaps against the Rams and, not to start a conspiracy theory but, the offense did seem to operate much more effectively and I think we can safely say it's about time to put the fake punt away for a bit after the Rams blew it up completely. Although, this is the Patriots we're talking about so it would not surprise me if the Jets pulled a few never before seen tricks on national TV–lets just hope if they do, they work. The Jets face another difficult task in their quest to not completely roll over and die this season but depending on which Jets team shows up, it could either be a long day or an enjoyable post-Thanksgiving dinner dessert.

EFSA unable to reach conclusion on safety of Syngenta GM corn because of insufficient data
June 24, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) says it was unable to reach a conclusion on the safety of genetically modified (GM) corn 3272 after the applicant, Syngenta, failed to provide the necessary information for a full risk assessment to take place. EFSA was, as a result, unable to conclude on the safety of GM corn 3272 with regard to human and animal health because the application did not meet a number of minimum standards set out in EFSA's guidance documents. EFSA's panel on genetically modified organisms (GMO) found that the comparative...

Mike Pelfrey agrees to sign with Twins
The Twins and Mike Pelfrey have agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal (with $1.5 million in incentives), according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
Pelfrey had Tommy John surgery last May, is not expected to be ready for big-league action until early in the season, and was non-tendered by the Mets this winter in anticipation of being paid around $5.5 million in arbitration.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
First off, good for Mike. He's a good guy who works hard, we've rooted for him for years and, while he could never seem to totally get over the hump here, I'm glad he's healthy and able to continue his career with an organization like the Twins. I wish him well…
The word is that he's recovering well and could be ready for Opening Day, depending on how his spring training goes. The Mets were right to non-tender him, for a variety of reasons. Basically, there is a lot of history between these two, and it was time to move on. I figured they might look to bring him back on a lesser deal, but I'm not sure they pushed for any sort of reunion. Interestingly, his deal with the Twins, when you factor in incentives, is pretty much exactly what he would likely have been in arbitration. So, it speaks to the level of demand for starting pitching, and why the Jays may be so willing to overpay to get R.A. Dickey.

Transmission ID
I have a 4 speed trans in my current Pan and I'd like to know when the trans case was cast. The part number is stamped 121-35. There is also a 1E stamped, not sure what that means. Finally, there is a little raised area that looks like a number plate was attached to the mold when casting and this raised area has a "3 3" on it. Am I right in reading the "3 3" as a March, 1953 casting date?

Despite openly admitting the failure of prohibition by conceding that drug use has not declined after decades of United Nations-mandated "war on drugs" policies, the UN and its mostly totalitarian member regimes have been meeting this week (March 11-15) in Vienna, Austria, seeking to expand the controversial drug war even further. Critics of the dubious UN "Commission on Narcotic Drugs" (CND) schemes, however — ranging from a coalition of American law enforcement officers to Latin American heads of state — are increasingly calling for new approaches to the problem.
Among the most prominent and vocal opponents of the UN's ongoing narcotics machinations is Socialist Bolivian President Evo Morales (shown), who slammed the global prohibition regime as a failure. Even former Soviet Communist diplomat-turned planetary drug czar Yury Fedotov, executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (ODC), admitted as much when he said "the overall prevalence of drug use is not decreasing." Morales, however, went much further.
Speaking to the 56th session of the UN CND on Monday, the fiery South American leader said the international war has caused soaring violence and is being used as an "instrument of geopolitical domination." In typical fashion, Morales also took swipes at the U.S. government, which under Obama has expanded its ruthless, unconstitutional campaign of terror throughout Latin America under the guise of fighting the UN-mandated drug war. Morales slammed what he termed the "political use" of the drug war by "certain powers."
Over a year ago, the Bolivian government, led by Morales, unilaterally withdrew from the UN "Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs" because the treaty purported to prohibit the use of the coca leaf, which has a long history in the region among indigenous people even though it is now often used to manufacture cocaine. At the latest global summit, held from March 11 to 15, the Bolivian leader continued his crusade against what he called the failed approach to dealing with the narcotics trade.

Along with all the requisite package and application upgrades that came along with CentOS 7, probably the largest upgrade was the move to the Linux Kernel 3.1 tree. This is a pretty big change for the Enterprise from the venerable 2.6 kernel version that was largely considered the most stable version ever. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the key changes from the CentOS 6 kernel and the new CentOS 7 kernel.

We have covered virtualization at length both in this space as well as at Linux Academy in the past. However, we have always been focused on hardware virtualization through a Hypervisor. Full OS emulation and server stack with device drivers communicating directly within the virtualization stack. Along comes Docker to further application virtualization. Although similar technologies have existed for some time (since early 2000), Docker appears to have arrived at the right time and captured all the buzz. Let's take a look at some of the Docker basics that we will be covering in this exciting new course! Ready to jump strait to the course?
A Brief Introduction
So let's talk for a few minutes about what exactly Docker is. Well, let's start out with an explanation taken largely from Wikipedia as well as from the Docker Website itself.
Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating system-level virtualization on Linux.
So having said that, its a collection of tools that package an application and everything it depends on into a "container" that virtualizes the application so it can run on any compatible OS (and by compatible, we mean Docker compatible, which is pretty much anything).
Multimedia on Linux has gone from being a giant pain to being more powerful than any other operating system, including the vaunted Multimedia powerhouse Apple OSX. One of the most valuable tools in your Linux Multimedia arsenal is a great conversion utility called Handbrake – and like all the best Linux utilities, it's free! Let's take a look at getting it set up for our use.
Download and Installation
Normally I would gloss over the download portion of our article, but if you just do a Google search looking for Handbrake, the first couple of pages are littered with fakes, download managers and other places that are at best redistributing Handbrake and at worst installing who knows what on your PC. The only OFFICIAL place (other than your distribution repositories, which tend to run a bit behind the latest stable version) to get this utility is at the Handbrake website. Make sure you pick up your copy from here.
WOW! This week at Re:Invent was truly a cool experience. Not only did we get to see a lot of new services and meet some neat people, we had the opportunity to see 9 certification exams taken by Linux Academy students and 9 certifications issued to Linux Academy students! That is awesome! First off thank you students who took the opportunity to share your success at re:invent with us! If your a Linux Academy student you can go into the community and talk with these other students. If not check out our public community archive to see what they had to say about passing!! It can be found here https://linuxacademy.com/community.
If you are interested to hear a recap of what was released at re:invent as well as what it might mean for the AWS Certifications check out our AWS Re:invent Linux Academy Show below!
(OpenStacks Identity Service)
OpenStack Identity (Keystone) provides a central directory of users mapped to the OpenStack services they can access. It acts as a common authentication system across the cloud operating system and can integrate with existing backend directory services like LDAP. It supports multiple forms of authentication including standard username and password credentials, token-based systems and AWS-style (i.e. Amazon Web Services) logins. Additionally, the catalog provides a queryable list of all of the services deployed in an OpenStack cloud in a single registry. Users and third-party tools can programmatically determine which resources they can access. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStack#Identity_Service_.28Keystone.29
In OpenStack before we can start utilizing the the vast ecosystem of services and applications that are available ie: (Nova, Swift, Neutron, Glance, etc), we first have to authorize our users. There are some very important terms that we need to understand when working with OpenStack Identity (keystone).
I would like to take a moment to address one of the biggest confusions when setting up endpoints in keystone today. First let's start out by defining what an endpoint even is. An endpoint in keystone is just a URL that can be used to access a service within OpenStack. An endpoint is just like a point of contact for YOU (the user) to use an OpenStack service. The adminurl (we will show these further down) is for the admin users, the internalurl are what the other services use to talk to each other. And the publicurl is what everyone else accessing the service endpoint uses.

Although there is a plethora of Source and Revision Control options around today, only one was created by our favorite Linux author Mr. Linus Torvalds and that would be Git. Right here, we are announcing the availability of the Linuxacademy.com course called Git and Gitlab: From Start to Finish so sign up or sign in and wade into the deep end of the pool.
Git Basics
We will start out this course of more than 24 videos with the basics of using Git for your revision control activities. Whether you are working with local repositories or a Git server remotely, you will get a feel for the following topics:
- Initializing Repositories
- Adding Files
- Committing Changes
At the Linux Academy, our goal is to create not only the best content to help you pass your Linux and Cloud certifications, but also the best tools to help you stay engaged and focused. Our content has always been self-paced, but we've had a different spin on it. At the Linux Academy, we've always made our instructors available to the students, much like if you were sitting in the same room as an instructor. Really, we wanted classroom learning intimacy to be the same in a self-paced online environment. One of the main advantages of classroom learning is that it is not self-paced. In fact, you either keep up or you lose out. We wanted to imitate this same type of environment without the harsh "you lose out if you get behind". We spent the last 3 months researching, speaking with users, and developing a new tool called "learning plans".
Learning plans are an original take on self-paced learning developed at the Linux Academy. They allow you to take self-paced and make them "scheduled". Simple questions like "how long should I study" or "when should I be expected to complete the course" are now obsolete questions due to the Linux Academy learning plans. Really, it's as simple as filling out a simple wizard page that asks for your start date and availability, then our system does the magic. It uses our algorithm, based on suggested study times, content length, and extra study requirements to develop the perfect study plan for you. It also works hard to keep you on track. It measures your progress, provides daily items due, and even sends you reminders when it's time for you to study. If needed, you can adjust your learning plan or even pause it, so if life happens you don't lose out on your studies. The Linux Academy learning plans remove those unknown stresses and extra time needed to manage your own personal study plans and automates it to help you be successful even if you don't have much time at all to study.
Only 20 minutes a day? Maybe one hour a week? That's ok, let our learning plans help you make the most of that one hour a week!
Not only have we just announced our learning plans, but we also announced the availability of FOUR real servers for each user to use as part of there Linux Academy account. We also announced the immediate availability of multiple courses including more Linux, DevOps, and OpenStack topics! The best part of all this is the content and features were added to the Linux Academy without any type of price increase. You're able to have access to over 800 videos, 150 quizzes, scenario based labs, study guides, and your four real lab servers for only $25/mo (or less if you purchase quarterly or annually).
CentOS 7, along with Kernel, Desktop, package and application changes galore, has taken the "Fedora" and "Debian" plunge into the deep end and converted daemon and service management from the older "service or /etc/init.d" paradigm into the "systemd" end of the pool. If you are a modern Linux Desktop user on a daily basis, you may be completely familiar with that method, however, it is a pretty large change for those administrators coming from the longevity associated with Red Hat and CentOS' use of the 'service' method of management. Let's take a deeper look at the new way of doing things.

Video isn't the only media that Linux has made great strides in. Linux is routinely used by big sound and recording studios to record, mix and treat sound for movies and television. Although those tools can be expensive to own, the average user still had a plethora of utilities available that do many of the same things. Let's take a look at one of the more popular overall sound packages called Audacity.
Download and Installation
In this case, the set up couldn't be easier. As long as you have a functioning sound card/chip/USB speakers, then your distribution already has everything needed to work with sound except Audacity itself. Easy enough to rectify, let's pull it down:
sudo apt-get install audacity
sudo yum install audacity

A Leader in the Atheist Movement Online?
"I have noticed a lot of interesting secular/atheist websites that are devoted to disputing the core tenets and legitimacy of Christianity. Sites like Infidels and Debunking Christianity are the leaders in the atheist movement online."Whether this is true or not I can't say (of us anyway), but it's a nice compliment that at least one person thinks we're doing well here. Thanks!
Dave Armstrong weighs in by saying DC is "my favorite atheist/agnostic haunt at the moment." Haunt us if you will Dave!

(May 02, 2013) Late on April 24, 2013, the Canadian parliament passed the Combating Terrorism Act, which will expand powers of investigation and increase penalties in terrorism cases. While some parts of the law had been enacted as provisions in previous legislation, they had not been used. (An Act to Amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act, Bill S-7, Apr. 25, 2013, Parliament of Canada website; Tobi Cohen, Controversial Anti-Terror Bill Passes, Allowing Preventative Arrests, Secret Hearings, NATIONAL POST (Apr. 25, 2013).)
The legislation allows police to detain those suspected of terrorism for up to three days without charging them. It also provides for conditional recognizance of suspects for a period of one year to prevent them from committing terrorist acts. The new law makes it a crime to leave Canada to assist terrorist groups or receive training in terrorism; it also increases the penalties for terrorist acts originating in Canada. (Jerry Votava, Canada House of Commons Passes Expanded Anti-Terror Legislation, PAPER CHASE NEWSBURST (Apr. 26, 2013).)
Additional provisions make it possible for courts to force witnesses to appear at a hearing to disclose information about past or future terrorist actions, even if the witnesses have not been charged with any crimes themselves. A witness could be questioned in a secret hearing and face arrest for not cooperating. Preventative arrest would be permitted for terrorism suspects, who would be brought to a court and possibly subjected to conditions before they are released. These conditions could include things such as banning communication with a specific person. A jail sentence of up to one year could be imposed for refusal to follow the conditions. (Cohen, supra.)
The bill was first introduced in Parliament in February 2012, bu the Boston bombings generated renewed interest in its provisions, resulting in the legislation being fast-tracked. Some critics, concerned about the impact of the provisions on civil liberties, argued that the success against the potential terror attack on the Via Canada railroad shows that the new provisions are unnecessary. (
A spokesman for the Canadian Justice Department, Andrew Gowing, expressed support for the new law, arguing that it will "ensure that law enforcement have the means to anticipate and respond effectively to terrorism, thereby complementing the government's ongoing efforts to combat radicalization leading to violent extremism." (Stephanie Levitz, Canada Anti-Terror Bill S-7 Passes House of Commons, HUFF POST POLITICS (Apr. 24, 2013); for background on how Canada's Supreme Court viewed previous legislation on terrorism, see Wendy Zeldin, Canada: Anti-Terror Law Ruled Constitutional, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Dec. 18, 2012).)

The BSI-CMOS sensor of the P7700 should feature a better signal/noise ratio over the "conventional" CMOS sensor of the G15 that we cannot notice in this comparison obviously. Is the advantage of BSI-CMOS sensor just marketing BS ? However it looks that it shows its superiority with purple fringing : the shorter distance between the micro-lenses and the photosites increases the tolerance to rays that do not hit the sensor perpendicularly. Unless it is the Nikon lens design that helps ?
Canon PowerShot G15 vs Nikon Coolpix P7700
The Canon versus Nikon debate has been around for almost as long as Coke versus Pepsi or dogs versus cats (well, maybe not quite). Both manufacturers make excellent cameras, but that hasn't stopped people from choosing sides. Naturally, we here at DPReview love a good debate, so we've decided to put the two flagship compact cameras from Canon and Nikon against one another in a head-to-head battle.
This review is going to be a bit different to those you'd normally read here on Digital Photography Review, in that rather than looking at one camera and placing it in context alongside its competitors, we'll be directly comparing how two cameras compare in terms of design, features, performance, and photo quality. Which one will come out the winner? You'll have to read on to find out.
|It came from the year 2000... the Canon PowerShot G1 (left) effectively created the high-end compact camera class. As you can see, in terms of design philosophy, Canon hasn't changed the fundamental recipe much in 13 years.
Both the PowerShot G15 and Coolpix P7700 have a rich history. The PowerShot G1 debuted way back in October 2000, and featured a 3.3 megapixel CCD, 3X zoom lens, optical viewfinder, swiveling LCD, and hot shoe. The Coolpix P7700's family tree is a bit more convoluted, though it's probably fair to say that its original ancestor is the Coolpix 5000 from 2001. That camera offered a similar feature set to the aforementioned G1, but sported a 5 megapixel sensor.
Before we begin, here's a quick look comparison of features and spec on the two cameras - if one of them bests the other in any particular way, we've indicated it in green.
Feature & Spec Comparison

Hopefully, you can immediately see what separates these two cameras: the G15 offers the faster lens and optical viewfinder, but has less zoom power and a fixed LCD. The P7700, on the other hand, has more zoom power and a swivel LCD, but no viewfinder. It's also cheaper at time of publication in the USA, UK and Europe, as you can see in the table above.

1. Show Respect.
The person bringing you your food is not your personal whipping post. Sure, they work in a relatively entry-level field. They may not understand the intricacies of patent lawyering or whatever it is that you do, but does that mean they deserve your embittered scorn for suggesting a dry Riesling with the fish? And that cook? That cook is working harder than you ever will for less than you pay your housekeeper. So give him a smile, not for sympathy but empathy.
Contrary to popular belief, a menu is not a guide. You want it your way, right away? You know where to go. The chef did not envision "holding the boquerones," or "subbing grilled veggies" on a dish he spent weeks perfecting. Where do you even see "grilled veggies" on the menu, anyway? And have mercy on your server, because any substitution or off-menu ordering on your ticket is going to get him or her straight reamed for letting it happen.
3. Be Reasonable.
If something is wrong with your food, or the service, or the gangster-rap soundtrack playing, let someone know! No one is benefiting from your scathing Yelp review, and it's a surefire way to ensure that your issue won't be fixed but become yet another reason cooks, servers and restaurateurs hate you. So your cornbread was cold. So your steak was overcooked. So your server reeks of cigarettes or worse. So you say something, or you don't go back. Don't go online and badmouth the place out of existence. They want to make you happy—it's their business.

HAMBURG - Junior forward Brady Condlin recorded a career-high 32 points, and three other Saints recorded double figures, however the St. Lawrence University mens basketball team was edged by Utica, 82-81, in a season opening thriller at the Hilbert College Tip-Off Tournament on Friday night. The Pioneers, who led 46-39 at the half, improve to 1-0 on the season and will appear in the championship game tomorrow at 3pm, while the Saints fall to 1-0 and will play Alfred College in the consolation game today at 1 p.m. Alfred dropped a 93-39 decision to the host team in the other first round matchup.
Tonights game featured 12 lead changes, including four in the second half, and St. Lawrence tied the game on eight different occasions. St. Lawrence would battle back to take the lead with under 10 minutes to go, and first-year student Kieran Miller gave the Saints their largest lead of the half (71-64) on a jumper at with 7:57 to go for two of his six total points. The Pioneers, however, went on a 16-4 run over a span of five minutes to take an 80-75 with under two minutes remaining.
Condlin hit a three-pointer at the 1:30 mark to cut the deficit to 80-78, and after a wild series of turnovers and steals from both teams, the Saints missed an opportunity to tie the game on a shot at :29 and then opted to foul to stop the clock. Uticas Conor Maisch hit two free throws before Condlin hit another three-pointer to bring the Saints within one point. The Saints fouled again to put Maisch to the line, who missed the front end of a one-and one free throw, and Condlin collected to rebound to give the Saints one more chance to win with under two second left on the clock. The ensuing inbounds play was thrown away as the Pioneers escaped with the one point victory.
Condlin, a Massena native, was 10-12 from the free throw line, 4-6 from 3-point range, and added seven rebounds, while senior forward Janpeter Brase added 12 points on 6—8 shooting and eight rebounds. First-year students Kyle Kobis and Kyle Edwards had impressive debuts with the Saints, recording 13 and 12 points, respectively, while combining for nine rebounds, nine assists, and five steals.

Seven economic development workers are no longer employed by the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency and will leave the state retirement system a move officials claim will limit the state comptrollers authority to dictate to the agency how it does business.
At an executive meeting Thursday, the agencys board of directors accepted resignations from staff members and authorized them to be hired by the Jefferson County Local Development Corp., a nonprofit entity, on Monday. On Monday those new LDC staff members will no longer be enrolled in the state retirement system, for which only IDA employees are eligible. The employees instead will join a 401(k) profit-sharing package this month to which the agency will contribute.
With LDC status, employees will continue their work helping businesses take advantage of economic incentives available through the JCIDA, but their job criteria will no longer be governed by state law, JCIDA CEO Donald C. Alexander said. He said the change will solve a number of lingering concerns for the agency. Efforts to assist agriculture businesses, for example, were called into question this spring when its attorney discovered state law might legally prohibit IDAs from supporting commercial agriculture. Also questioned was whether agricultural coordinator Jay M. Mattesons position might be in jeopardy due to his job criteria.
Theres always been a gray area about it, because the law didnt say what we couldnt do but what we could, Mr. Alexander said. There was a high level of uncertainty about if we could do it under the former structure with IDA employees. But we have to be able to support agriculture, and we have to do this without putting our pension benefits and livelihoods at risk. Were going to keep doing what is right for Jefferson County.
Thursdays decision by the board comes after the agency spent thousands in legal fees to comply with a ruling from state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli in February 2012; it stated IDA employees associated with sub-agencies, or LDCs, dont work directly for the IDA and are therefore disqualified to receive pension benefits. To comply with the comptrollers ruling, the state Legislature passed home rule legislation in June 2012 to secure the JCIDA staffs retroactive pension benefits through July 31, 2012. The agency then spent much of 2012 restructuring its sub-agencies to comply with the ruling. It dissolved the Jefferson County Job Development Corp. and Jefferson County Agricultural Development Corp., replacing them with marketing, manufacturing and agriculture councils that do not have governing authority and report directly to the JCIDA.
The Watertown Local Development Corp. and Watertown Industrial Center Local Development Corp. were IDA subagencies that function independently and are in enrolled in private pension systems.
Mr. Alexander said the former JCIDA employees will probably be eligible to continue receiving state pension benefits from August 2012 through this month, but the state comptroller has not yet answered that question. If employees are not eligible to receive state benefits, the private 401(k) package will retroactively account for that period.
JCIDA board President David Converse said the agencys reorganized LDC employee structure is now similar to the Mohawk Valley Economic Development Growth Enterprises Corp., which serves Oneida and Herkimer counties. Because LDC employees have a service agreement with the IDA, their job responsibilities fall under the umbrella of both agencies.
Mohawk Valley EDGE is a large LDC that has two to three IDAs they provide administrative services to, Mr. Converse said. This structure will give our organizations much more flexibility in dealing with the ever-changing development environment in New York state.

Ease in system integration is important to ensure that users can create a network which best meets their specific requirements. The VB-S800D makes this possible with ONVIF version 2.2 protocol compatibility, including the Profile S standard which includes greater interoperability than found in previous network cameras. It is simpler to integrate the VB-S800D with other ONVIF compliant 3rd party products and it is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the ONVIF protocol.

THE RANGERS' NEW YORK STATE OF MINDGraves, Leetch, Gilbert, Boyle want the NYI to stay
9:05 pm: Graciously putting aside the intensity of one of pro sports' biggest rivalries at this crucial time, members of the New York Rangers family are offering their support to the New York Islanders and their fans. Although they are not Nassau County residents and understandably are unable to speak about the politics behind the arena issue, former and current Rangers spoke to Point Blank about their wishes for the Islanders to remain on Long Island. Their support is important. After all, plenty of Rangers fans reside in Nassau County and have a vote on Aug. 1.
Here's what four members of the Rangers organization had to say:
Adam Graves – No. 9 retired by Rangers, 2009: "I've been following the story of the issue of the Islanders' arena and really hope something can be worked out. Anyone who's had the privilege of skating on the ice at the Garden or the Coliseum can tell you about the special level of emotion that exists when the Rangers and Islanders face off.
You also have to consider the tradition of great players that have played for both sides. For the Islanders, I'm thinking about Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy and Billy Smith and Denis Potvin and on and on. Everyone knows what the Islanders can be when they are successful. Personally, I'm rooting hard for the Coliseum issue to finally be settled after all these years, and I'm rooting for the Islanders to stay for a long time on Long Island."
Brian Boyle, current Rangers forward: "I have friends on the Islanders who love playing there. I know Mikey Mottau likes the organization a lot, and just look at what my old teammate Matt Moulson has done there the last two seasons. As a player in the league, I want to see organizations be healthy and fellow players thrive where they like playing.
"For the players and the fans, our games against the Islanders are the most exciting of the regular season and I hope some day we'll battle in the playoffs. What we have with the Islanders and the Devils, with the teams in such close proximity, is special. I don't ever want to see that change and I hope the best for the Islanders and their fans throughout New York."
Brian Leetch – Hockey Hall of Fame, 2009: "The rivalry is entirely fan-driven, with so many Islanders and Rangers fans in New York, that as a player you can't help but get caught up in the emotion. We have fans of both teams on the same neighborhood block, fans who go to work together, go to school together. There's nothing like it. No matter how the teams are doing in the standings, every game is talked. We'd be on a losing streak and people would walk up to me and say, 'Just beat the Islanders, please.'
"Islanders fans have proven their support for the team. It would be bad for the area's hockey fans and for the NHL to lose this rivalry. The health of the Islanders is important to the league, I know that. It's disappointing to see the friction over the new arena, but I really hope it gets figured out and the Islanders are able to be competitive for a long, long time. The fans are there, there's no question in my mind about that. The fans have proven it before. There are a lot who are just waiting to get back in there and fill the place."
Rod Gilbert – Hockey Hall of Fame, 1982: "The first thing I think about with the Islanders is the incredible amount of time, effort and resources they have put into the community on Long Island and in New York. Guys like Bobby Nystrom and Clark Gillies have become friends of mine over decades of working together on charity projects. I have been involved with businesses on Long Island and I know what the Islanders mean to the legacy of the Island. I don't ever want to see that changed.
"The rivalry between us and the Islanders is magical. I think of J. P. Parise's goal breaking our hearts and the great series between us in 1979 – right before the Islanders' dynasty had its run. I want to see that magic back. Instead of the Rangers playing in Philadelphia, when the Islanders' situation gets settled, how about a Rangers – Islanders game in a few years at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field?
"I want to see this situation with the arena finally get settled and I know I speak for the Rangers organization when I say that I want to see the Islanders franchise strong forever and ever. I also want their fans to have a team that will never play anywhere else except where they won those Stanley Cups. It's time the Islanders and their fans were rewarded."

The act of making out with a girl and rubbing your hand around her upper thighs, lower stomach, or areas around her vagina. As you graze across the top of her underwear (if shes wearing any, fucking whore) you suddenly get up, say "GOTCHA!" and you can spit in her face, punch her in the face, or just go to the other room and play Guitar Hero. Rumored to be invented by Mr. Criswell.
*Guy and girl making out, guy stops*
Guy - Gotcha!
Girl - Oh you got me
Guy - Gotcha!
Girl - Oh you got me

Photographic Process 1.0: The Daguerreotype
This month we're highlighting a series of videos on six photographic processes featured throughout our current exhibition, See: Untold Stories.
We're taking a look at the invention of the process and talking with our curators and historians, who help us put these processes into historical and cultural contexts.
First up, The Daguerrotype.
The discovery of this process forever changed our understanding of time. For the first time in history we could see what our ancestors looked like. Take a look behind the scenes into our world class photograph collection from within our vaults. We currently house more than 3,500 Daguerreotypes, including 1,500 French Daguerrotypes – the largest collection outside France.
Up next, The Collodion Process, The Albumen Print, The Woodburytype, The Platinum Print, and The Gelatin Silver Print.

|ESPNU Series to Feature ASU Football on Wednesday
|Written by MIke Flynn
|Monday, 25 October 2010 16:34
Appalachian State University football will be featured in ESPNU's All-Access series this week. All-Access: Appalachian State debuts on ESPNU on Wednesday (Oct. 27) at 6 p.m. and will be replayed on the ESPN family of networks throughout the week.
An ESPN production crew was on campus last Wednesday (Oct. 20) to film a behind-the-scenes look at a typical day for the Mountaineers as they prepared for the annual Battle for the Old Mountain Jug versus Western Carolina. The crew captured 12 hours of footage from activities ranging from coaches' and players' meetings and film study and practice to weightlifting and injury rehabilitation. The crew even followed quarterback DeAndre Presley to class to highlight the day-to-day demands placed on student-athletes both on and off the field.
