ISLANDERS 5, RED WINGS 1Isles Rout Wings at Home; Cap's Controversial Timeout
UNIONDALE — Moments into the second period, John Tavares took a puck to the face when a Red Wing lifted the puck into the zone, attempting a dump in. He would hunch over and head to the locker room, causing the usual panic from fans in the stand and on Twitter. As if nothing had happened, he returned to the ice with only minor cuts on his right cheek a few minutes later and got back to work. He would deliver quick retribution on the scoreboard, scoring his 14th of the year at the 7:31 mark of the period. Four minutes later, he set up line mate Kyle Okposo with a perfect pass on a 2-on-1 and the rout of the Red Wings was on.
The Islanders beat the Red Wings 5-1 at the Coliseum tonight in a game that at times seemed like it should have been closer but the home team cashed in their chances against goalie Ty Conklin.
The Red Wings almost jumped out to a first period lead when Cory Emmerton rung a shot off the left post that skittered out behind Evgeni Nabokov to the opposite side. Emmerton's line mate sent the rebound toward a wide-open net and missed completely. Disaster averted for the Islanders.
Late in the period Brad Stuart would take a penalty for roughing. He added two minutes of it by slamming his stick on the boards on the way to the box. Matt Moulson put the Islanders on the board on the ensuing power play when his pass kicked off a defender in front and past Ty Conklin.
After Tavares helped light the lamp twice in the second, Michael Grabner would – finally – score on a breakaway chance late in the period. For @grabs40, it broke an eight-game scoreless streak that has seen him demoted to the third line.
The line of Grabner, Josh Bailey and Matt Martin was excellent throughout the game tonight, recording eight shots. Bailey saw extensive time on the team's power play clocking in at 2:19 of man advantage ice time.
The teams traded goals in the third, with Moulson adding another. For Moulson that was his 20th of the season, putting him on pace for a shade over 40 goals at the half-way mark.
At the end of the period with the game out of reach at 5-1, coach Jack Capuano kept his top line of Moulson, Tavares and Okposo out for the entire final minute. Curiously, the coach called a time out during a stoppage with about 22 seconds remaining, which seemed to anger Wings' coach Mike Babcock on the opposing bench – sportsmanship probably being the main bullet point of the presentation. Capuano opted to keep his top line out in a blowout win where the opposition had not even pulled their netminder, which would have allowed Moulson an easier attempt at a hat trick.
"Our top guys were tired," Capuano said after the game. "You know what I don't care if their coach – with no disrespect to their team or their coach – but bottom line is Kyle, Mouls and Johnny played a real good game tonight, were tired and had iced the puck."
With the icing, Capuano wasn't able to change lines and get his players off the ice.
"When you're fatigued, injuries take place… I'd do it again if I had the chance."
Babcock's anger is understandable but a bit misplaced – his concern should be about how his team airmailed it against the 14th best team in the Eastern Conference. Maybe it's a focal point to deflect attention from the effort.
For Capuano, it's a questionable move that's not going to earn him many points outside of his own locker room.
The Islanders improved to 5-0-1 in their last six against the Red Wings, outscoring their opposition 19-9 in those games. They are also 15-1-7 in their last 23 home games against Western Conference opponents.
Soon after the puck dropped in the second period, John Tavares took a puck to the face as one of the Wings flipped the puck up attempting to dump it into the Isles' zone. It appeared to catch Tavares in the mouth, who headed off the ice immediately. He returned at the next stoppage with a vengeance scoring a goal and an assist in the following 10 minutes.
The Islanders continue their four-game homestand on Thursday night against the Flyers. The biggest story of their week is that Claude Giroux tried to blow up Twitter a few days ago, simply by joining. The Islanders have beaten the Flyers once in their last 18 meetings, dating back to 2007.

The New Jersey Devils, established in 1974, are a professional ice hockey team that are part of the Eastern Conference of the NHL. The Devils play their home games at Prudential Center located in Newark, New Jersey. The franchise began their life as the NHL expansion the Kansas City Scouts based in Kansas City, Missouri. Their first game against the Toronto Maple Leafs was a glimpse into the team's future as they lost 4-2. Two years was all that the team had in Missouri due to mounting debt and the inability to sell tickets in an economic downturn.
In 1976 the team got a new start as the Colorado Rockies, though several losing seasons and managerial instability continued to impact the team's performance. After six years the team was sold and relocated to the East coast where they would be playing against powerhouses like the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers.
The team was named after the tale of the Jersey Devil, a creature that inhabits and haunts the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. Their first game in their new East coast home was played against the Pittsburgh Penguins, resulting in a 3-3 draw. While it may have taken a few years for the Devils to find their footing, once they got it they were relentless. The team has garnered over a dozen conference and division championship titles combined as well as several Stanley Cup Finals victories. With the only honor eluding the team being the Presidents' Trophy, New Jersey Devils tickets are a must for hockey aficionados and nonfans alike.

Comments about Suzuki SCX Chromatix Series Harmonica:
The valves stick closed almost immediately because of condensation. I live in a desert with virtually no humidity but the temperature and humidity from a mouth are enough to silence this beautiful chromatic.
I have a Honer Chromatic III that I've had for 57 years and it doesn't have this problem. I tried to dry my mouth out with mouth wash before playing and still had problems.

Comments about Suzuki SCX Chromatix Series Harmonica:
The tone quality is warm and full. The action of the slide is smooth and has yet to stick. I have had the instrument for a couple of months and it is nicely broken in. The top octave is a little stubborn yet but it is loosening up quite well. The tone blends very well with the violin and viola better than my previous harmonica. My wife is a professional violinist, retired and we can now play well together, producing a fine sound with our music. Thank you Suzuki.
Best Uses
Comments about Suzuki SCX Chromatix Series Harmonica:
I really don't know why someone is complaining about the reeds going south on these harps. I've got one I've been playing for almost 10 years, and I've never replaced the reeds, or even adjust the reeds, and I even bend notes (yes, you can bend notes on one of these) occasionally. I haven't even had to replace windsavers. They've got a real rich sound, and, like all Suzuki harmonicas, are *much* better built than Hohners. The only problem I've had is that I occasionally have to adjust the slide.

Comments about Suzuki SCX Chromatix Series Harmonica:
I've developed a Love Hate relationship with these Harmonica's. They are wonderfully made and designed. They are beautiful little instruments with a big sound . . . but they are Fragile. Very Fragile! The fact is, Historically speaking, not one Chromatix Harp has lasted an entire year without losing a reed. In fact maybe 8 months. At first I thought, (and was told by suzuki) it was me, but after several years and changing my style and babying these harps . . . I don't think its me any longer. So what I do is make sure I have backups for each key. Then when one go's south, I grab the backup and send the sick Harp to the shop. That makes Suzuki happy I'm sure. But its hard to justify the expense. All said tho, I haven't found another harp that I would replace them with, and I've tried them all. So long story short, Love the Sound, Hate the Fragility. You have to decide for yourself, is it worth the cost and headache. Below ask would you recommend to a friend. The answer is yes - But an Experienced Friend/Player and only after reading this.
Comments about Suzuki SCX Chromatix Series Harmonica:
This is one beautiful instrument. Very well made. And it comes in a sturdy plastic case along with a polishing cloth. The first day I just sat there and looked at it without picking it up. When I did pick it up, I was surprised just how heavy it was.
I am just learning to play the harmonica, so I can't get real technical about this review. But compared to the Diatonic harmonicas that I've been playing, it simply blows them away.
The finish is flawless, The slide is super smooth. The notes are precise with no sticking of the reeds.
I've been playing Hohner Proharp diatonics for the last few years, and I wanted to try my hand at chromatics. This is a whole new ballgame...
I am very glad I purchased this instrument. It is not cheap by no means, but neither is a Gibson. I bought mine in the key of G, and I plan on buying a few more in different keys after I learn how to play it.
The slide is super smooth.
The shape is very comfortable. It fits your hand like a glove.
I like the round holes on the mouthpiece, compared to the square ones found on other harmonicas. It gives you much more control over the notes your playing.
Flawless finish. More chrome than a '57 Bel Air. When you pull this out to play it, people will notice.
Nothing is free in life. You get what you pay for.

Printable Silhouettes
Printable Silhouettes are among the popular printables. A silhouette is an outline image of an object or a living being. It is like a crisp and clear shadow. A popular example of a silhouette is the logo of Apple Computers, showing the filled outline of a partly eaten apple.
History of Printable Silhouettes
Hardly a couple of hundred years back, during the georgian period, Silhouette portraits were very popular with the British and the French. Compared to portraits, silhouettes, or "shades", as they were called in England, were more affordable. Some of the famous silhouette artists included Auguste Edouart, a Frenchman, who was famous for full-length silhouettes, John Miers,from Regency England, JC Laveters,a german who drew "Scientific Silhouettes" and Master Hubard, an american boy, who was reputed to be able to cut silhouette profiles in 20 seconds! It is said that in those days, silhouette portraits were drawn from the outline cast by candlelight or lamplight. After the invention of photography, silhouette portraiture became rarer and is now a specialized craft practiced by a few. One of the famous silhouette artists today is Cindi Rose, who drew the silhouette of Barrack Obama. Today, Silhouette Photography is a popular branch of digital photography. With the use of photo software such as photoshop or gimp, it is easy to turn photographs into digital silhouettes.
Printable Silhouettes as Stencils
Printable Silhouettes are popular as simpler forms of stencils and are used in various interesting crafts and decorations projects. Compared to stencils, it is easier to cut out and use silhouettes as there are no narrow bridges and islands. Some of the popular uses include – as tattoos, for pumpkin carving, wall murals, furniture art, posters, t-shirt designs, post cards. Home Decor and Kitchen Crafts, Art Projects and Scrap-booking, Halloween Crafts and Card Ideas – all are areas where silhouettes outlines can be used with great effect to get amazing results. Some of the popular themes in printable silhouettes include bats, butterflies, floral designs, elephants, horses, dogs, cats, trees, leaves, and people in various poses.

After more than two weeks on the run, Bobbie Jo Zeller was apprehended by state police Thursday morning and charged in connection to an alleged scam that netted more than $300,000.
She is accused of fabricating hard-luck stories to prey on the charitable nature of a retired Roman Catholic priest, his parishoners, and numerous other community members.
Zeller, 36, of 72 West Main St., Apt. 4, Norfolk, was charged with three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, first-degree identity theft, three counts of third-degree grand larceny and one count of fourth-degree grand larceny. State police located her Thursday at a hotel in Malone.
Among the alleged scams victims were the Rev. Msgr. Robert L. Lawler. According to court documents, Msgr. Lawler gave Zeller his life savings, then solicited money from parishioners and acquaintances. A Norwood couple, Gloria J. and Robert W. Dietze, who provided Zeller with more than $30,000 of their own money.
A Helping Hand
Msgr. Lawler told police he had believed he was helping Zeller, who had allegedly fed him a variety of tales about why she needed money.
When I initially gave my deposition to the state police I did not think that Bobbie Jo was trying to scam me out of money, he said in a second deposition. I now see that Bobbie Jo lied to me in order to steal money from me and the people who wanted to help her through her so-called hardships by giving me money to give to her.
Msgr. Lawler said he should have realized it much sooner.
I should have known this was suspicious when she told me things like the U.S. Treasury Department and a judge was coordinating the transfer of money from the treasury department to my checking account, he said in his deposition.
In his statement Mr. Lawler named several people who had given him money that was later turned over to Zeller. That list included William Tiernan, Joseph Tiernan, Ed Sharlow, Carol LaDue, Thomas Nelson, John and Dee Cardoza, Jack Backus, Betty Bernhard, Charles Kelly, the Rev. Jim Shurtleff and Bishop Terry LaValley, as well as others whose names I do not recall at this time.
State police Investigator Peter T. Kraengel said the exact number of victims is unknown, but he said there were at least 20 people who had given Msgr. Lawler money to assist Zeller.
Its really appalling that someone would blatantly stoop to the lowest level possible to rip off a priest. Mr. Kraengel said.
Mr. Kraengel said it is his belief that the alleged scam began simiply, but grew more complicated as Zeller continually came up with reasons she needed money, some he classified as really outrageous stories.
Bobbie Jo constantly came to me for money, Msgr. Lawler said in his statement to police. She told me she needed money to pay fines or she would be put in jail and she needed medicine for her son and if she doesnt get it child protective services would take her son away from her. She also referred to a case of some sort that she was helping an unknown law enforcement agency with. She would say she needed money from me and she would pay me back when the case was closed, but that I could not tell anyone about this and I had to keep giving her money, otherwise it jeopardize the case and I might not get my money back.
Charitable Nature
Despite those far-fetched tales, Msgr. Lawler truly believed he was helping Zeller.
The monsignors whole life was dedicated to helping care for people in need, said the Rev. Kevin J. OBrien, a colleague who serves as the Diocese of Ogdensburgs episcopal vicar. He was the director of Catholic Charities for 30 years.
Mr. Kraengel said its easy to understand why so many people were involved.
If my parish priest came to me and asked for help I would say, What do you need? he said.
A Realization Dawns
Msgr. Lawler said he didnt realize he was being scammed until Jan. 8, when Zeller attempted to pay him back. He had just said Mass at St. Josephs Nursing Home, Ogdensburg, when Zeller presented him with three checks.
These checks were in the amount of $300,000 payable to me, $25,000 payable to me and a third check in the amount of $6,800 made payable to card services, he said. When she gave me these checks she explained they were dated Jan. 12, 2013, because the money would not be available until Jan. 12, 2013. She said this would be payment for all the money I provided her over the last couple of years that shed pay me back. The check for $25,000 was to repay June McQueeney and the check for $6,800 was to repay the charges she incurred on June McQueeneys credit card.
Msgr. Lawler said he was immediately suspicious of the checks.
I questioned Bobbie Jo as to the post-dating of the checks, which appeared to be computer generated bank checks. I asked why the bank would issue post-dated checks, especially when there is not enough money in the account to cover it, he said. Bobbie Jo replied that the person at the bank who wrote the checks for her was instructed by a judge to write the checks and post-date them. She said I could not call the bank because they wouldnt talk about it and they would deny having post-dated checks.
Msgr. Lawler said he was unwilling to accept the post-dated checks.
I told her this was unacceptable and she said she would get the checks made out for today. I returned the checks to her and she left, he said
He said she returned to the nursing home several hours later with new checks.
The only difference between the checks she presented me with this morning and the checks she presented me with in the afternoon was the date, he said. I accepted the checks and she left.
At that point Msgr. Lawler said he contacted Rev. OBrien, who reached out to Community Bank in Potsdam where the checks were said to have originated.
Community Bank confirmed Msgr. Lawlers suspicions.
In all, Msgr. Lawler told police, he gave her $273,000 $145,000 from his retirement fund, personal savings, gifts, social security and two years salary; $28,000 from parish funds; $100,000 from contributions from others he had solicited on Zellers behalf.
Charges Brought
The three criminal possession of a forged instrument charges against Zeller stem from each of the three checks she allegedly presented Msgr. Lawler. The identify theft charge stemmed from Zellers alleged use of Mrs. McQueeneys credit card over the phone, for what Mrs. McQueeney believed was medicine for her son.
The third-degree grand larceny charges stem from incidents in June 2011 and April 2012 when she received $27,000 from Mr. Dietze, incidents in Augugust 2011 and September 2012 when she received $3,090 from Mrs. Dietze and the ongoing instances from fall of 2010 through January 2013 when she received more than $300,000 from Msgr. Lawler, members of his parishes, acquaintances and fellow clergymen.
The fourth-degree grand larceny charge stems from two other instances when she received $1,600 from Mrs. McQueeney.
Zeller was arraigned before Ogdensburg City Court Judge William R. Small and sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Wednesday at 9 a.m.
A Checkered past
Zeller, who has a lengthy criminal record has a history of similar arrests. She was convicted in 2001 and 2005 in St. Lawrence County Court of first-degree scheming to defraud. She was sentenced to serve two to four years in state prison for her felony conviction in 2005.
She was released from custody in June 2009 after completing six months in the Willard substance abuse treatment program, serving the remainder of her sentence under parole supervision.

Coaching Staff announcement tomorrow
According to multiple reports, Triple-A manager Ken Oberkfell is likely to be named bench coach, which I still think is a perfect pick.
In addition, the day Terry Collins was hired, I wrote Mookie Wilson would be considered for first bench coach, but I have not heard much about that since, nor has there been any indication he's even interested. I hope he is, though, I'd like to see Mookie back in the mix.

BEAVER FALLS Sandy Creek coach Mike Stevens was quick to remind his Comets before Saturdays season-opener with Beaver River that this team hadnt accomplished anything, yet, and that the only way to prove they are a legitimate sectional contender is on the field.
Thats a confident coach who knows what his talented team is capable of, and who needs them to remained focused on each and every opponent no matter how much of a favorite they are.
The Comets certainly looked like the defending Section 3 Class D champions by routing the Beavers 41-0 in a Class D Central division game. Except for accumulating more than 125 yards in penalties, Sandy Creek accomplished exactly what it set out to do against an inferior foe.
We wanted to come out right away and make a statement, said Sandy Creek senior quarterback/defensive back Tyler Swarthout. Its a new season, and what we did last year doesnt mean a thing. Weve heard that were going to win the sectionals again and even the states. But we cant listen to that kind of talk and let it go to our heads. Weve just got to stay focused and take it one game, one play at a time.
The Comets were just too big and strong for the Beavers, an advantage they will hold against probably every opponent this year. Stevens said he particularly liked what he saw from his club as far as poise and communication was concerned, and that we just need to grow and improve every week if we want to get to where we think we can go.
Especially pleasing to Stevens and his staff was the fact the Comets scored on offense, defense and special teams, and that he was able to play his reserves a lot in the second half.
Getting those second guys a lot of reps just makes us a better team, Stevens said. Hopefully, they gained some confidence and they can push our starters in practice and make us a better team.
Junior running back Cameron Hall rushed for 112 yards on 13 carries and scored a touchdown as Sandy Creek ground out 243 yards on the ground and threw only three passes.
Junior Kyle Fayette scored on a 29-yard punt return and a 29-yard interception return for the Comets. Senior Zach Brown added a 19-yard TD run, senior Jake Benedict scored on a 1-yard run, and sophomore Tyler Brown contributed a 20-yard scoring run and kicked four extra points.
It was tough to get any offensive rhythm, especially the first half with all the penalties, Swarthout said. But our defense kept giving us the ball, and sooner or later we knew we could punch in some scores.
With a massive defensive front led by Matt Ennist and Zac Akey, standout linebackers in John Shirley and Benedict and several ball-hawking defenders in the secondary, this Comets defense will be tough to penetrate.
Beaver River simply could not rush the ball with any effectiveness. The Beavers finished with a net zero yards on 23 rushing attempts.
That forced senior quarterback Zach Steiner to put the ball in the air 32 times. He completed 14 for 72 yards, but also threw four interceptions.
We made a lot of mistakes in our blocking assignments, said first-year Beaver River coach Matt Lyndaker. Against a team as big and tough as Sandy Creek, if you do that they are going to just beat you up.
Stevens knows he must clean up the penalties, and find a little bit more consistency in his offensive execution. I think we can be explosive if we just execute a little more consistently, he said. But our defense is going to give us a good chance to win every game.
After falling behind 14 points at halftime, General Brown scored three touchdowns over the final 10 minutes of the fourth quarter to earn a come-from-behind victory over Westmoreland in a Section 3 interclass season-opening game in Westmoreland.
It was veteran coach Steve Fishers first win back at the Lions helm, and it took a valiant effort over the final 24 minutes.
Trailing 22-6 early in the fourth quarter, Zach Pitre scored on an 8-yard run for General Brown and sophomore quarterback Evan Will hit Dylan Daghan for the 2-point conversion.
After a Rob Pickeral fumble recovery, Pitre scored on a 24-yard run, and Will hit Daghan again for the 2-point conversion to put the Lions ahead 22-20.
Following a Ryan Cumberbach interception, Joe Pitre added an insurance touchdown on a 3-yard run.
Zach Pitre rushed for 188 yards on 28 carries, including a 1-yard TD run.
Will, starting his first varsity game, completed 7 of 15 passes for 97 yards.
Zach Griffith passed for five touchdowns to lead the Marauders to a Class D Central home win over the Falcons.
Matt Swenszkowski caught three of Griffiths touchdown passes for scores of 5, 32 and 14 yards.
Cody Capron ran for a 1-yard score and passed 56 yards to Lucas Kelly for another for South Lewis. Nick Kraeger also scored on a 13-yard run.
Oden Robertson ran for 176 yards and three touchdowns and Chase Palmer provided 107 yards and a touchdown as Potsdam rolled to an opening Northern Athletic Conference victory at Gouverneur.
Potsdam carried the ball 44 times for 348 yards and ran for six touchdowns.
Friday night in Adams, Chris Beavo scored three rushing touchdowns as the Red Devils topped the Spartans in a Class B East opener.
The Spartans points came on a second-quarter safety and a 7-yard run by Dylan Beckstead in the fourth quarter.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Shares of Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly & Co. both traded higher on the heels of the drug makers' quarterly financial results Tuesday.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
After the bell, Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +1.92% will come in for scrutiny in what's typically a seasonally strong quarter for the e-commerce giant.
Pfizer PFE, -0.06% reported net income of $6.32 billion, or 85 cents a share, for the fourth quarter, up from $1.44 billion, or 19 cents, earned in the year-ago period. Quarterly revenue fell 7% to $15.07 billion for the Dow Jones Industrial Average component.
On an adjusted basis, profit would have come to 47 cents a share for the drug maker's latest quarter. While down from 49 cents earned a year earlier, this came in ahead of the 44-cent consensus of estimates compiled among analysts who follow New York-based Pfizer.
Stock buybacks accelerated in the fourth quarter, as Pfizer repurchased $3.4 billion in shares during the period. For all of 2012, the company committed $8.2 billion to stock repurchases.
The company also issued a financial forecast for 2013. Management sees Pfizer's adjusted earnings in a range of $2.20 to $2.30 a share, implying double-digit growth from 2012, on lower revenue pegged at $56.2 billion to $58.2 billion. Read more on Pfizer's results and outlook.
Separately, Eli Lilly LLY, -7.78% posted earnings of $827.2 million, or 74 cents a share, for the fourth quarter, down from $858.2 million, or 77 cents, earned in the final three months of 2011.
Quarterly revenue slipped 1% to nearly $5.96 billion, which the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company attributed to the expiration on its patent for the drug Zyprexa.
On an adjusted basis, earnings came to 85 cents a share for the latest quarter, Eli Lilly's results showed. This was several cents ahead of the consensus derived in a poll of analysts.
The company also revised higher its profit forecast for 2013, to a range of $3.82 to $3.97 a share on an adjusted basis. The revision reflects the estimated benefit from the delayed enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Eli Lilly said. Its enactment slipped past the end of last year amid negotiations over the so-called fiscal cliff in Washington. Read more on Eli Lilly.
Also before the bell, Ford F, +0.07% posted fourth-quarter net profit of $1.6 billion, or 40 cents a share, down from $13.62 billion, or $3.40 a share, earned in the same period during 2011. Excluding changes in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, Ford's profit for the year-earlier quarter would have been $1.03 billion.
Profit on an adjusted basis would have been 31 cents a share for the latest quarter, ahead of analysts' 25-cent consensus and up from the prior year's 20 cents a share.
Moreover, Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford said it expects "another strong year" in 2013, with operating profit foreseen as about equal with that for 2012 and with operating-related cash flow from its automotive business to show year-over-year growth.
However, shares of Ford fell more than 4% in morning trading, with rival General Motors Co. GM, +0.21% also retreating.
Tyco International Ltd. TYC, -0.77% posted a net profit of $163 million, or 35 cents a share, for the first quarter ended Dec. 28, down from $322 million, or 69 cents, earned in the same period during fiscal 2012, while revenue increased to $2.6 billion from $2.48 billion.
On an adjusted basis and for continuing operations, Tyco pegged the latest quarter's earnings at 40 cents a share, matching the consensus of analysts and up from 26 cents earned in the year-earlier period.
Who will snap up BlackBerry 10?
Research In Motion no longer depends on corporate customers for the bulk of its business, yet some of these clients are among its most loyal.
Results for Corning Inc. GLW, -1.48% showed the company easing past analysts' consensus forecast for earnings in the fourth quarter.
The company turned a net profit of $283 million, or 19 cents a share, down from $491 million, or 31 cents, earned in the fourth quarter of 2011. But on an adjusted basis, earnings would have been 34 cents a share, a penny ahead of both the average analyst forecast and the company's year-earlier adjusted profit.

Pub. L. 108–330, § 2,Oct. 16, 2004, 118 Stat. 1275, provided that: "The Congress finds the following:
"(1) Influential financial management leadership is of vital importance to the mission success of the Department of Homeland Security. For this reason, the Chief Financial Officer of the Department must be a key figure in the Department's management.
"(2) To provide a sound financial leadership structure, the provisions of law enacted by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–576) [see Short Title of 1990 Amendment note set out under section 501 of Title 31, Money and Finance] provide that the Chief Financial Officer of each of the Federal executive departments is to be a Presidential appointee who reports directly to the Secretary of that department on financial management matters. Because the Department of Homeland Security was only recently created, the provisions enacted by that Act must be amended to include the Department within these provisions.
"(3) The Department of Homeland Security was created by consolidation of 22 separate Federal agencies, each with its own accounting and financial management system. None of these systems was developed with a view to executing the mission of the Department of Homeland Security to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the Nation's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks. For these reasons, a strong Chief Financial Officer is needed within the Department both to consolidate financial management operations, and to insure that management control systems are comprehensively designed to achieve the mission and execute the strategy of the Department.
"(4) The provisions of law enacted by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 require agency Chief Financial Officers to improve the financial information available to agency managers and the Congress. Those provisions also specify that agency financial management systems must provide for the systematic measurement of performance. In the case of the Department of Homeland Security, therefore, it is vitally important that management control systems be designed with a clear view of a homeland security strategy, including the priorities of the Department in addressing those risks of terrorism deemed most significant based upon a comprehensive assessment of potential threats, vulnerabilities, criticality, and consequences. For this reason, Federal law should be amended to clearly state the responsibilities of the Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Homeland Security to provide management control information, for the benefit of managers within the Department and to help inform the Congress, that permits an assessment of the Department's performance in executing a homeland security strategy."

By Michael on 11/7/2011 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I purchased one sheet of this for frag racks, and very pleased with it. Cuts easily, glues up great and black is perfect for main tank as is blends in better then the white only product available locally. Awesome product By Cory on 9/19/2011 Cory would recommend this product to a friend Works great for frag racks! Quality built, for an affordable price! By Peter on 9/17/2011 Peter would recommend this product to a friend Will work great in any sump or frag tank. Strong material, yet easy to build to fit. Also less expensive then many local stores and online retailers. Good By Joshua on 8/11/2011 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend Good Quality . Not good for aquarium top By Aron on 5/10/2011 Aron wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I bought this to use for as a top on my 38G. Very easy to work with and to "fit" on to the tank however it restricts waaayyy to much light to enter the tank. I'm gonna use it in my sump as part of my baffles now instead. Besides light issue, great packaging and good size. Well worth your money! By Patrick on 3/27/2011 Patrick would recommend this product to a friend BRS is probably the only place online that offers black egg crate at reasonably low price. You could order them elsewhere but you would have to purchase in bulk, which would be way to many for most of us. The cost of shipping though makes this a lot more expensive because of the irregular packaging. However, even with special handling shipping fee you still get the best product for your project as black egg crate will not leach out phosphate and cause algae bloom as the white ones do. You could buy the white ones from your local hardware store and paint it with black plastic paint but over time the paint will come off, not to mention that you only save a few bucks as oppose to just buying some black egg crates. You can't go wrong buying these black egg crates from BRS! Great product! By Fredy on 2/14/2011 Fredy would recommend this product to a friend Wish i had ordered these years ago! I like the thinner profile and ease of use. AWESOME!!! By daniel on 11/14/2010 daniel would recommend this product to a friend worked perfectly in my 24x24 frag tank with the black coral mounts from brs you cant beat it... Best price on the net By Eric on 8/24/2010 Eric would recommend this product to a friend I did a bunch of seaching around the web for this stuff, and this was the best price I found. Great Product By Nate on 6/21/2010 Nate would recommend this product to a friend I was pleased to find that I wouldn't have to buy a 2x4 sheet of black. The 2x2 is a great economical choice, especially for small projects and frag tanks. It is also more rigid the white you'll find in hardware stores. Black Egg Crate Rocks!!!! By Jason on 3/4/2010 Jason would recommend this product to a friend I purchased two sheets of black eggcrate and could not be more pleased. The holes are actually a little bit smaller than on the white eggcrate and so they seem to grip the plugs tighter. Also, the black eggcrate seems less inducive to algae growth than the white eggcrate. Two thumbs up. Great Product! By Travis Hatfield on 2/11/2010 Travis Hatfield would recommend this product to a friend Not a whole lot to say about this, its egg crate. Its good quality though and I definitely like the black better than the white. Was packaged well so didn't have to worry about it getting broke during shipping and is plenty big for anything that I'm going to need it for.

Video: Walk In 2 History: Wallenda Speaks
NIAGARA FALLS, NY- The countdown is on until Nik Wallenda walks in 2 history Friday. Crews were busy Wednesday securing the tightrope in place.
For the first time, we also saw the platform that would lift Wallenda to his starting point on the 1800 foot walk across the Mighty Niagara.
Throughout Terrapin Point, crews were busy setting up tents, fencing, even Portapotties, getting it ready for thousands of visitors, and 300 members of the international media to arrive.
On Old Falls Street in Niagara Falls USA vendors are beginning to set up their booths. Unprecedented crowds are expected for its circus themed event "Side Show", which will complement Nik Wallenda's walk in 2 history. The event will feature performances such as fire breathers and acrobats, a petting zoo, live music, and more than 20 local merchants and food vendors. Those who weren't able to secure tickets to see Nik Wallenda's walk will be able to view it from one of the two big screen TV's set up on Old Falls Street. "Side Show" will take place from 11AM to 11PM.
Nik Wallenda arrived back in town Wednesday and Melissa Holmes was able to catch up with him, one-one-one, to find out how he's holding up.
Holmes: How real is this getting?
Wallenda: It's pretty real. As you can see the wire is strung. It's ready to go and so am I. I'm ready to get back on it now.
Holmes: So what's happening for you in these next 48 hours?
Wallenda: A lot of TV interviews and a lot of meet and greet. On the Canadian side I did a couple and I've just been very, very busy.
Holmes: We see the dip. How big is this incline and decline?
Wallenda: It drops about 32 feet on center. So to give you an idea it's about 3 stories down into the middle and then back up hill. I've walked a wire since I was two years old and this is my life. My great-grandfather said it best. He said, "Life is on the wire and everything else is just waiting."
Holmes: We saw you talking to the crew. What were you saying?
Wallenda: Just thanking them. They worked throughout the night to make this happen. I can't thank them enough. I'm very appreciative of them. They're definitely a part of history and a part of making my dream come true.
Holmes: How confident are you about the way it's strung and that it will support you?
Wallenda: Very confident. Everything has gone incredibly well and I've got amazing engineers and amazing technical staff. Not even a second though about the safety of that cable.
Holmes: This is the biggest event to happen to Niagara Falls in its history, and you're making it happen. How excited are you?
Wallenda: Very excited. It's always awesome to say you're a part of history. Not many people can say that. It's an honor to be here. It's an honor to be in this area. And I hope that it does what we've always wanted it to do for this area, and give a big economic boost to this region.
Holmes: What about the harness? Some people say you're going to take it off as soon as you get up there. Is that going to happen?
Wallenda: You know, probably not. I have to respect my partner, the networks. We did fight the good fight. But in the end, I respect the fact that their viewership audience needs to be guaranteed that Nik Wallenda won't die live on national TV. And that's really what it came down to. The fact that they're showing it live, even though there's a delay, for them to be a part of it, would be detrimental to them as well. So I have to respect those guidelines and those boundaries.
Holmes: This is the biggest walk of your life. Are there any nerves whatsoever?
Wallenda: No, none whatsoever. I've done walks longer and I've done walks higher. It's just a unique walk with the most incredible backdrop in the world underneath me and behind me.

Sunday, April 24, 2011Lipscomb women broke school records for the 800-meter, 1500-meter and 5000-meter at the Vanderbilt Invite Friday and Saturday.
Amanda Twigg started things off Friday evening, running a big personal record and setting a new school record in the 1500-meter of 4:36.14. The previous school record in the event was set just a week ago when Dani Walker broke Amanda's previous school record.
Walker ran a time of 4:43.47, followed closely by Priya Pappu who ran a personal record of 4:43.51. Katie Bunker ran 4:52.80 in her first ever track race longer than 800m.
Later Friday evening Tessa Hoefle broke her own school record in the 5000-meter with a time of 17:43.34. Close behind her Catherine Beals ran a personal record of 17:47.34, and Missy Dowd just missed breaking into the 17's with an 18:02.47. Missy's time was also a personal record. When she started this season her personal best was 19:22.
Tessa, Catherine and Missy finished 3rd through 5th in the race. Louisa Van Batavia ran her best 5K of the season, finishing 10th in 18:24. She was followed in 11th and 12th by Cortney Thomas who ran a new personal best of 18:29 and Emily Longden in 18:33. Cortney's best 5k in high school was 19:42.
On Saturday Dani Walker broke teammate Katie Bunker's 800-meter school record, posting a personal record of 2:10.96.
Sara Stephens ran another solid 400-meter race, finishing second by .04 of a second in 56.60. Rachel Smith ran a big PR in the 400-meter with a time of 58.64 for tenth place.
Senior Caitlin Anderson ran her final race in a Lipscomb uniform. Caitlin finished 5th in the women's 3000m steeplechase in 11:53.
"It's nice to take down three major distance records in the same meet," head coach Bill Taylor said. "Even better to see so many PR's! It's fun to see our records set and reset each week, and I like that you never know who on the team is going to get a record. It's wide open all the time.
"The girls work so well together, push each other, support each other and celebrate together. We get a lot of PR's in most races because of this and it usually becomes a matter of who is a bit better on any given day.
"I also enjoy watching the whole program get better and better and better. This is a very fun process as we march toward being one of the best programs in the nation."
On the men's side Ashton Fisher broke his own school record in the 3000-meter steeplechase, posting a time of 9:37.67.
Tucker Peabody and Nasheed Burgess again led the way in the men's sprints. Tucker finished 3rd in the 100-meter with a time of 10.71 and second in the 200-meter with a time of 21.47. Nasheed picked up a pair of 8th place finishes with times of 10.88 and 22.10.
Isaiah Greer led the way in the men's 1500-meter with a time of 3:59.70, his best time of the season. Geoff Musick led the men in the 5000-meter with a time of 15:22.
In the field events Adam Austin finished fourth in the high jump with a leap of 6-4. Logan Ray finished 6th in the triple jump in 45-feet 9-inches. Dillon Seigenthaller finished second in the javelin with a toss of 168-6, while Steven Mason finished sixth in 143-6.
"It was a hard week of training for our sprinters," Taylor said. "I felt they ran great this weekend, but the payoff for the training is coming in the next two weeks.
A smaller roster will continue the season competing at the Butler Invite next weekend, then traveling to Los Angeles, California for the Oxy Invite the following weekend.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—The economy is sputtering back to life, but workers aged 50 and over have grown more fearful—both about their job security and their retirement prospects, according to a couple of new surveys.
What's more, older workers are substantially more worried about their jobs and retirement than younger workers, according to an annual poll of more than 1,600 401(k) plan participants by consulting firm Mercer.
Fifty-nine percent of workers aged 50 and up said they may delay their retirement, a jump from 55% a year ago, according to Mercer. Among workers of all ages, the portion who expect to delay retirement rose to 44%, the highest figure in the survey since 2002—but the jump was driven entirely by the older workers. Of the younger workers, 37% said they expect to delay retirement, the same portion as said that a year earlier.
Also, 52% of all workers surveyed expect to work at least part-time in retirement, up from 47% who said that a year ago, but down from 59% in 2008. And 44% expect to reduce their standard of living, up from 38% who said that a year ago and 42% in 2008.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
About one-fourth of workers said they believe they'll run out money in retirement. At the other end of the spectrum, about one-fifth said they'll be able to leave money to family members of charities. Those figures have held fairly steady since 2006, according to the Mercer survey.
Even before the market crash in 2008, older workers expressed more anxiety than younger workers about their retirement security, and the worries have only grown more acute.
Their more recent heightened fear levels may stem simply from the fact that they have a shorter time horizon until retirement, said Suzanne Nolan, director of marketing and communications for Mercer's U.S. outsourcing business.
"Many people experienced huge losses in the recent recession, and people either haven't recovered completely or the reality has set in that they can't count on the market to carry them over the finish line," she said.
Another possible reason for retirement anxiety: greater awareness about health-care costs. "People are starting to connect the dots about funding health care in retirement," Nolan said.
Even with Medicare coverage, retirees face significant out-of-pocket costs. Read: Your retirement health-care tab will run $240,000.
Pension plans don't instill confidence
Meanwhile, even those workers who have a traditional pension plan—that is, a guaranteed payout in addition to their own savings—appear to be worried about the future, according to a separate survey by Fidelity Investments.
Seventy percent of baby boomers, including those with a traditional pension plan, said they wished they'd done more to save for retirement during their working years, according to the Fidelity survey of about 1,000 people who are either working in or recently retired from a corporate job.
A good chunk of people—20%—with traditional, defined-benefit pensions said they did no planning before retirement, according to the Fidelity survey.
"Even the small population of baby boomers who actually receive a pension payout today feel they should have saved earlier than they did for their income in retirement," said Wendy Foster, senior vice president at Fidelity Investments, in a news release. "Saving more aggressively and planning well ahead of your expected retirement date becomes even more critical for the majority of Americans, particularly younger workers, without traditional pensions."

They say anything is possible in Hollywood, and for a handful of lucky tourists the unbelievable happened.
No, it wasn't some silver screen special effect; it was David Beckham (in the flesh) running up a busy Beverly Hills street … in his briefs!
The soccer stud was definitely caught off-guard when he saw the packed tour bus, trying to cover up his manhood while running barefoot through the bushes.
But like a good sport, Beckham gave the bus a smile as he headed back through the shrubbery to his H&M location shoot.
We think his green briefs are from his new H&M collection which emphasizes "fit, function, comfort and design." From the looks of it – they definitely did the trick in fit and function! Click "Launch Gallery" below to see the hilariously candid photos!

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Alma Benedetti was honored on Friday morning for her many years of making the city beautiful with the planting of a lilac tree at the entrance of Windsor Lake.
The longtime tree commissioner and retired art teacher was joined by family, friends and city officials (and a very busy woodpecker) as the Tree Commission celebrated Arbor Day in the city. Drury High School freshmen Catherine Record, Allison Meehan and Morgan Michaels provided musical selections under the guidance of music teacher Christopher Caproni.
The former chairman of the commission has helped to honor others on Arbor Day, but commission member Erica Uchman described her as "the most deserving honoree."
Fellow Commissioner Christine Petri spoke of Benedetti's other activities, including teaching art to so many residents who had been educated in the North Adams school system.
"For 35 years, she was not only on the Tree Commission but also the Garden Club and is currently on the board of the Friends of the Library," said Petri.
Alma Benedetti, right, poses with her brother-in-law Louis Zocchi and nieces Mary and Louise Zocchi.
Uchman said she and Benedetti had worked on many projects over the years and while she had been surprised to learn Benedetti's age, she joked she wouldn't reveal it now. (Benedetti graduated from then North Adams State Teachers College in 1937.)
Reading from a large card she'd made for her friend, Uchman said, "serving with you quite a few years gave me the opportunity to find out what a special lady you are ... I admire so much how you devoted yourself to be the ideal chairperson; how you pursued all responsibilities as diverse as they could be ...
"In my book, you will always be the lovely, contributing, so-devoted chairperson of the North Adams Tree Commission."
Benedetti, after posing for some "shovel photos" by the already- planted tree, said she'd worked with some very dedicated people over the years. "We've planted over 200 trees," she said and, as a member of the Garden Club, helped install the garden on Union Street at the entrance to the city.
Her walks take her up by Fish Pond so she'll see the now-budded lilac coming into bloom.
"I wanted something flowering," said Benedetti. "So this was a good choice."
Mayor Richard Alcombright read a proclamation declaring May 13 as Arbor Day in the city and that called for residents to "support the effort to protect our trees and woodlands."
"Thank you so much for your service and dedication over the years," he said to Benedetti. "You set a true example of volunteerism and what is really meaningful in our community. It's really what makes a community like ours succeed."
The city gets a jump-start on the county's holiday season by lighting Main Street's two Christmas trees on Thanksgiving Eve.
Mayor Richard Alcombright will take his first turn at flipping the switch to light up the downtown on Wedneday, Nov. 24, 6:30 p.m. at Monument Square.
The celebration includes, of course, the Drury High School band directed by Chris Caproni, the arrival of Santa Claus on the historic North Adams Trolley bearing gifts of coloring books, crayons, candy canes and scavenger hunt maps of downtown businesses. Goodie bags will be handed out to the first 500 children.
Afterward, the band will go caroling along the downtown, kicking off the monthlong "North Adams Hometown Holidays" event, an initiative of the North Adams downtown merchants and Develop North Adams to showcase the shopping and services available in the city — and to encourage residents to buy local.
The evening will include a treasure hunt within participating businesses for the kids, drawings and music, plus a marshmallow roast, hot cocoa and treats and an appearance by "Jolly the Reindeer."
Window displays are already going up throughout the downtown (the best will get an award later in the month) and plans are to stay open on the traditional Thursday nights (Dec. 2, 9, 16 and 23) when downtown patrons can search for the "mystery shopper" to win a prize. Look for clues to the shopper's identity on iBerkshires (we'll let you know when they post).
On Dec. 2, city galleries will open their doors for "DownStreet Art on Ice," featuring the 99-cent-and-up art sale at MCLA Gallery 51 (get there early because the bargains go fast) and other related activities.
Keep abreast of what's happening at ShopNorthAdams.com.
Specials and sponsorships for Hometown Holiday events are offered by Shima, the Party Place, Desperados, Bark 'N' Cat, Creations, Elf Parlor, Persnickety Toys, Christo's Famous Pizza, Jack's Hot Dogs, K-M Motors, Mia's Consignment, Martha Flood Design, Gallery 51, Empire Antiques, Papyri Books, Edward Jones and Dilego's Jewelry Store. Tranquil Moments Day Spa, Petrino's Cafe, Holiday Inn and Richmond Grille, Physical Therapy of North Adams, I Got Goodies, Dion Money Management and Supreme Pizza and Wings also offer specials and/or sponsorship.
Other sponsors include Develop North Adams, the city of North Adams, the North Adams Transcript, and Donovan and O'Connor, Attorneys at Law. The North Adams Office of Tourism is grateful to Landmark Credit Union, Cascade School Supplies, Big Y Supermarket and Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts for their help in staging the tree lighting.
For more information about the tree lighting or any city event, contact the North Adams Office of Tourism at 413-664-6180.
Downtown is getting spruced up. Or should we said "mapled up"? After most of the trees were hacked away on Main Street, the city is back to replanting.
The center median on Main Street will now feature pear trees and Eagle Street is getting some new maples.
Massive tree removal and replacement are part of a $3.2 million streetscape project to renovate downtown. Many of the removed trees were endangering the sidewalks and others were likely to be damaged because of construction.
The streetscape project won't be completed until summer 2011. It includes the laying of new conduit, sidewalks, lighting and traffic signals along River, Main, Eagle, Holden and Marshall streets, Route 2 and American Legion Drive.
New decorative streetlights have been installed on the lower end of Union Street near and traffic signaling will be installed on the massive columns placed at strategic intersections within the downtown.
City workers installed the main Christmas tree for the holiday season at Monument Square on Wednesday. The tree was donated by Joe and Martha Curro of Minor Road in Lanesborough.
It took about an hour to place the fir tree, which had to be trimmed down to 32 feet so the city's bucket truck could reach the top to trim it with lights.
A second, smaller tree came from Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Vachereau of Clarksburg for the island at the intersection of Marshall and Main streets. The annual tree lighting will be held on early evening on Wednesday, Nov. 24, the day before Thanksgiving.
Clockwise from top: The tree arrives at Monument Square; trimming the trunk to fit the hole; a handful of people were watching; guiding the tree in with one hand.
Have a the perfect Christmas tree on your property — that you'd like to get off it?
The city needs two big fir trees to bookend Main Street for the holiday season. The trees must be between 25 and 35 feet in height; they will be placed at the traffic island on near City Hall and at Monument Square.
The annual lighting is usually held the first week in December with caroling, cocoa, and music from the Drury High School band. Mr. and Mrs. Claus are also known to make an appearance.
Trees will be sought from the Northern Berkshire area through the first week of November. To donate a tree, call Fire Director Steve Meranti at 413-662-3103 or 413-662-3155. The latter number is available 24 hours a day. Leave a message and someone will return the call as soon as possible.
