North American Development Survey 2012 v.2: Over Half of North American Software Developers are Moonlighting
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
) has announced the addition of the "North American Development Survey 2012 v.2" report to their offering.
This series started in the Winter of 1998 and is the most comprehensive research survey series in existence focused exclusively on developers and IT managers. In this survey, we examine the changing face of Operating platforms; Languages including particular emphasis on Scripting Languages; Web Services and Service Oriented Architectures with deeper drill-down for Software as a Service and Cloud Computing, highlighting trend updates and significant changes.
This series explores: global demographics, platform use and migrations, language use, internal and external cloud computing, SaaS, SOA, security, Linux and open source software, Java development, general internet development, architecture and technology adoption, software development requirements, development tools, development issues, and application management.
Conducted biannually; based upon 393 in-depth developer interviews for Fall 2012.
New Evans Data Survey Shows 53% work on apps outside of work Over half of all software developers work on apps on their own personal time according to the newly released North American Development Survey, a survey of over 400 software developers in North America conducted last month. Of those who do work on apps outside of work, 34% spend 20 to 40 hours per week, while 29% spend more than 40 hours per week on their own projects. The more experience the developer has, the more likely he is to work long hours on his own.
There's been a lot of conjecture over the last couple of years about just who are the people writing all those apps for app stores, said Janel Garvin, CEO of Evans Data Corp. While there obviously are specific companies focused on that space, and maybe a handful of hobbyists or students, the author sees lots of evidence that the bulk of those apps are being developed by the same developers who write traditional software for many types of companies as their day job.

Top Dawg Tavern
656 Exchange Circle, Suite 100, Bethlehem
Open since: March 4
Owners: Brett and Renee Summers
Location: Top Dawg is next to the Carmike Gateway 12 theater overlooking Ga. Highway 316 near the Ga. Highway 81 intersection south of Winder.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays
Atmosphere: The owners spared no expense making Top Dawg a quality environment. The wooden floors contain sound-absorbing material to keep the volume down, all of the chairs are made of sturdy metal with comfortable padding and the TVs are big enough to see but small enough to encourage talking with your group instead of reading the crawl on ESPN. In addition to various local memorabilia, one wall is covered with quotations from sports figures, including Herschel Walker, Babe Ruth and Mia Hamm.
"It's a fun gathering place," Renee Summers said. "We have these big tables built so people can come in and enjoy it."
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, Top Dawg offers "flex casual" dining. Orders are placed at the entrance and patrons can sit down with a number and wait for their food -- similar to Zaxby's or Panera Bread Company.
"People don't have as much time on their lunch break," Summers said. "They might only have an hour, and by the time they travel here they might have less. So it's faster for you. But also since you don't have a waitress, it's more economical since you don't need to worry about a tip."
The porch outside is covered and can be screened in when the weather calls for it. The furniture outside is also high-quality, including a round sofa-like seating area for a party of about 10. There are eight bar chairs at two bar sections that can be served from inside, keeping the staff close by.
Top Dawg plans to host special events such as live music and sports watching.
Menu: Classic American fare is Top Dawg's specialty, but the customizable options and extended dinner menu should have something for everyone.
"We have top-your-own dogs, top-your-own burgers and build-your-own salads," Summers said. "So if you come in and you have something specific you want, you have the ability to customize any of those items to make it exactly how you'd like to make it."
Toppings such as mushrooms, avocado and pulled pork are available for the burgers and hot dogs. Cucumbers, celery and grouper are among the items that can be added to salads.
Flatbread pizza has proven to be a popular item as either an appetizer or shareable entree. Country fried chicken, crab cakes and creamy Cajun chicken pasta are some of the extra items available on the dinner menu.
Top Dawg has buttermilk pie -- a homemade dish similar to creme brulee -- and fresh-baked cookies for dessert. The restaurant also offers a full bar, including beer, wine and liquor.
Thing you might not know: Top Dawg offers curbside to-go orders. Tell the employee what kind of car you drive when calling in a to-go order, drive up to the side of the building and you will be served from your car instead of needing to go inside.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and impact on quality of life of two different doses of belimumab administered in addition to standard therapy in subjects with active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Belimumab 1 mg/kg
Drug: Belimumab 10 mg/kg
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase 3, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 52-Wk Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab (HGS1006, LymphoStat-B™), a Fully Human Monoclonal Anti-BLyS Antibody, in Subjects With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- SLE Responder Index (SRI) Response Rate at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline, 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Percentage of subjects with a ≥ 4 point reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score, and no worsening (increase of < 0.30 points from baseline) in PGA, and no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores compared with baseline.
SELENA SLEDAI is calculated from 24 individual descriptors; 0 indicates inactive disease and the maximum theoretical score is 105; scores > 20 are rare. PGA is a visual analog scale scored from 0 to 3 (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). BILAG uses a single score for each of the 8 organ domains; range is from severe to no disease (A to E).
- Percent of Subjects With a ≥ 4 Point Reduction From Baseline in SELENA SLEDAI Score at Wk 52. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Mean Change in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The PGA is a visual analog scale scored from 0 to 3. A score of 1 corresponds to mild lupus disease activity. A score of 2 correlates with moderate disease activity and a score of 3 with severe disease activity.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The SF-36 is a generic health related quality of life (HRQOL) measurement. The survey includes 36 questions grouped to 8 domains and 2 summary measures (physical and mental health component, PCS and MCS, respectively) assessing HRQOL. Responses are scored according to the SF-36v2™ manual. A score is calculated for each SF-36 domain based on the patient's response to each question within it. This is then transformed to a scale ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) points. The PCS is norm-based where the mean=50 and standard deviation (SD)=10. Higher scores represent better physical health.
- Percent of Subjects Whose Average Prednisone Dose Has Been Reduced by ≥ 25% From Baseline to ≤ 7.5 mg/Day During Weeks 40 Through 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 40 through 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Adverse Events (AE) Overview [ Time Frame: Up to 56 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]SEE ALSO ADVERSE EVENTS RESULTS SECTION

Independent retailers have claimed that record labels deliberately lowered the quality of vinyl records they produced in the Eighties in order to accelerate the popularity of CD.
The opinion is aired by multiple music shop owners speaking in new film Last Shop Standing, which brings together the experiences of independent music retailers from across the country to document 'the rise, fall and rebirth of the independent record shop'.
"It took a few years but vinyl suddenly vanished and nobody wanted to talk about it. I had two and a half thousand record needles sat in the shop that I put in the bin," said former High Street retailer and current ERA chairman Paul Quirk.
"We had the shop full of vinyl and we were very committed to it. What frightened us, in a way, was that Woolworth's was saying, 'Bring your vinyl, stick it in the bin'. They were devaluing it completely and they were taking their lead from the record companies."
Graham Jones, who interviewed indie record store owners for the film, which was inspired by his book of the same name, added: "If you go back to the Eighties as well, the vinyl that we had was all recycled vinyl. So the actual quality of vinyl recordings had started to diminish.
"The records were thinner and more flimsy. Everything was designed for us to switch our music collection over to CD."
Truck Store manager Gary Smith said: "Certainly when I began in the early 80s we would get people bringing in five or six copies of the same album back because there'd be a fault in the vinyl. The 70s vinyl seemed to be fine and the 60s vinyl was fine, it's just that the stuff in the 80s was really thin and not very good quality.
"CDs are great for their portability and all that, but a lot of the advertising was done on the superior sound quality, which just wasn't true."
Speaking to Music Week following a pre-screening of Last Shop Standing in London this week, however, BPI chairman Tony Wadsworth debunked the notion that labels engineered an untimely decline for vinyl.
"One of the themes that was only touched on in the film was that labels drove out vinyl, which is frankly absurd," he said. "Whenever I've worked for record labels, if something has a demand, you meet that demand, you don't stop making stuff for which there is still a demand.
"The fact of the matter is that CD was a very popular format and vinyl started to reduce for the mass market. But, there is still a passionate niche market for vinyl, which needs to be met."
Wadsworth ultimately praised the film, though, for the amount of optimism and enthusiasm it presented from many indies.
"It's true, there's an opportunity [in music retail now]," he said. "The shops that have managed to stay in business by various levels of ingenuity are now in a great position to capitalise on that and there seems to be a lot of creative ideas about how to stay in business."
Last Shop Standing will be released on September 10 with screenings across the UK. More information can be found at lastshopstanding.com

Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree is visiting a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Portland.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ The congresswoman will visit the Preble Street soup kitchen on Wednesday.
Pingree's office said that the congresswoman will talk to three residents at the Oxford Street Shelter who haven't been able to move into permanent housing due to mandatory federal budget cuts, known as sequestration.
The budget cuts kicked in March 1 after Democrats and Republicans missed a deadline to agree on a long-term deficit reduction plan.
Pingree's office said the budget cuts have meant longer waiting lists for affordable housing and fewer deliveries of meals to seniors.

1 Thing

posted Jul 24 2012 6:40PM
I believe he's scheduled to land around but 6 tonight, but rest assured that President Obama will be in Seattle tonight as part of a fundraising trip. If you happen to be a good friend of Costco co- founder Jim Sinegal OR you have $35,000 to spend on dinner, you can hang with El Presidente. If that seems a little steep, you can just shell out $5000 to go to a reception a little later. Oddly enough, Obama will be talking about the state of the economy... which is silly if you're talking to people who can shell out %5000 to $35,000 for a $40 meal. Might be talking to the wrong people. Are politicians out of motherf**king touch? Nah. Hell, the Wall Street Journal just released a survey that says 78% of Americans plan on driving their current car for at least the next 10 years, with 36% of people saying they were gonna drive their car until it just dies. Why? Everyone surveyed cited the economy as the reason. Today we decided to talk money... or a lack of money. We didn't mean money you owe to some faceless bank, we're talking money you owe to a friend or relative... or the money that a friend or relative owes you. WHAT IS THE MOST MONEY YOU HAVE EITHER BORROWED OR LENT, AND WAS IT EVER PAID BACK?
Loaned $500 to a friend in Germany... then the guy died
Between 3 people, he loaned out $9000 within 10 days... surprisingly, only one guy still owes him any money
Borrowed $7800 from his uncle to take his mother and father on a guided elk hunting trip in New Mexico... at a rate of $100 a month, he's been paying his uncle back and only owes $100. When he first called, he said he borrowed $780,000 for that hunting trip. After about 5 minutes of questioning him on how and why a hunting trip could possibly cost that much, he realized he'd over- stated the amount
In the form of money and guns, he's loaned about $3000 to friends... has seen NONE of it returned
Owed a family member $300 and paid them back... in a strange twist, that same family member now owes him $5200 and has NOT paid him back
Her mother lent a family "friend" $100,000 (a bad, bad idea) to buy a house in Florida and "get her act together"... the house is now worth $35,000 and the "friend" hasn't paid back a dime
Lent $2500 to his girlfriend's mother to go to the Philippines for a funeral... she returned home and didn't pay him back. Naturally, he was getting a little irritated, a lot more irritated when she went to the casino. As it happens, she won $14,000 and paid him $5000 back
Loaned some broad $500... never saw her again
Sent $1200 to a woman for a plane ticket... can't say whether or not she bought a plane ticket, but if she did, it wasn't to see HIM
Lent his girlfriend $340... never saw her again
Mom stole her $30,000 inheritance that was supposed to be for her college tuition... instead, mom bought a new Audi
So, you bought Poison's "Open Up and Say Ahhh" and thought you were pretty cool? You weren't. Poison sucked then, they suck now and a certain record store in Chicago will let you know what other poor musical decisions you made with their list of albums and artist to never buy back.
Jolene has the list here
Alright bitches, I'm outta here.
Until tomorrow, me love you long time, so STAY BEAUTIFUL!"

This weekend, Congress rather inexplicably caved in to the Bush administration and passed an amendment to FISA that essentially rubber stamps their desire to use warrantless wiretaps whenever they want. The amendment is only good for 6 months but it is still quite troubling. Here's the absurd defense of the amendment:
The bill would give the National Security Agency the right to collect such communications in the future without a warrant. But it goes further than that: It also would allow the interception and recording of electronic communications involving, at least in part, people "reasonably believed to be outside the United States" without a court's order or oversight.
White House spokesman Tony Fratto emphasized that the bill is not meant to increase eavesdropping on Americans or "to affect in any way the legitimate privacy rights" of U.S. citizens. Data related to Americans in communications with foreigners who are the targets of a U.S. terrorism investigation could be monitored only if intelligence officials have a reasonable expectation of learning information relevant to that probe, a senior U.S. official said.
There's just one tiny little problem with this: there's no way of knowing the administration is following those guidelines if they don't have to ask for warrants, even retroactively. Yes, there is a provision in the new amendment requiring that the program be certified as having adequate safeguards, but that's by the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General; that doesn't exactly soothe the fears of civil libertarians.
There's also a provision that allows the FISA court to review the program, but the standard of review is that they can only overrule any part of the program if the certification by the administration was "clearly erroneous." And once they perform that review, there is no protection against abuses in any individual case because there is no requirement that the administration get warrants at all, even retroactively.
That means that there's essentially nothing to prevent the administration from certifying the program being done one way and then doing it another way – because there's no further review after that and there's no requirement for warrants showing in any particular case that the government has a legitimate reason for surveiling a particular target. Rather than strengthening the safeguards, Congress further weakened them. Why? Glenn Greenwald has it about right:
Prior to the November, 2006 elections, the Bush administration tried desperately to force the Congress to enact new FISA legislation to legalize warrantless eavesdropping. The Democrats resisted just enough to prevent its enactment. Karl Rove and Republicans generally then ran around the country exploiting that obstructionism in order to accuse Democrats of being "soft on terror" and "wanting to prevent the President from listening in when Osama calls," the Republicans were crushed in that election, and Democrats obtained an historic victory. In the not-blue state of Montana, Jon Tester defeated an incumbant GOP Senator by running on a platform of repealing the Patriot Act in its entirety. Wouldn't the most basic rationality compel Democrats to draw the conclusion that this rank Terrorism fear-mongering does not actually work?
Yet here they are, after refusing to legalize warrantless eavesdropping prior to their midterm victory, allowing this legislation to pass now that they are in the majority. It is as politically self-destructive as it is unconscionable on the merits.
While the premise of this behavior is that Democrats must avoid appearing "soft" and "weak," one article after the next describes their behavior as "surrendering," "capitulating," "bowing to pressure," "caving in" and "suffering defeat" — all at the hands of a weakened, isolated and pervasively despised lame duck President whose political party is in shambles. The worst thing one can be in American politics and American culture generally is a loser, and Democrats perpetually turn themselves into losers and convince themselves when doing so that they are appearing "strong" and "tough."
Pure cowardice.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann Romney, on the campaign trail in October. Ann Romney told Fox News on Sunday: "I'm mostly over it, but not completely."
WASHINGTON -- Four months after losing out on the White House, Mitt Romney is dusting himself off and starting to speak out about politics and policy again.
In a wide-ranging interview that aired Sunday on Fox News, Romney chided President Barack Obama for his dealings with congressional Republicans and for "playing politics" with the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester.
"I look at this sequester and also the expiration of the Bush tax cuts as an almost once-in-a-generational opportunity for America to solve its fiscal problems," he said. "I see this as a huge opportunity and it's ...

the BEST bolognese. have made it dozens of times. simple ingredients. so luscious.flag if inappropriate
I just made this recipe for the first time this evening, and it is a keeper! My husband, who is from N. Italy, and a total food snob, loved it. He said that it is very authentic and wonderful! Used pancetta, pork, and veal, and also used chicken broth instead of water. EXCELLENT! Please do yourself a favor, and use pancetta, it will make all of the difference.flag if inappropriate
This is one of the best things I have ever made - and I cook A LOT. What amazing depth of flavors. The one reason I hesitated on trying this recipe was that it only had 1 can of tomato paste and logically that didn't make sense being that its a red sauce. Trust me, it's fine. The wine, stock and milk make the sauce and the paste makes it a deep flavor. I changed a few things but I'm sure the original recipe is spectactular. My changes were I didn't use celery, used blend of pork, beef and veal that they package for meatloaf, used marsala wine instead of white (I forgot to buy) and used chicken stock instead of water. Some other people suggested and I followed of letting each liquid addition simmer for a while before I added the next (tomato paste then milk, then wine, then stock). I also sauteed the vegs separate from the meat. Also, I'm sure some would think I was crazy but I drained the cooked meat of some of the fat. Don't worry - it still has plenty of flavor. You know it was good if the first thought I had when my eyes opened this morning was "wow, that was really good Bolognese". It is truly high end restaurant quality.flag if inappropriate
Excellent! Can't belive there is a better recipe. After reading the other reviews. I cooked the veggies in a combination of olive oil and butter for 30 min. Had salted the meet ahead of time and then added the meet and cooked in the rendered fat for 1.5 hours, added the tomato paste and cooked for 30 min. Then added half and half cooked another 20 min lastly added the wine, chicken stock, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, salt pepper and let reduce for another hour. Then added the cooked Pappardelle right to the sauce plated with grated parmigiano reggiano. Everbody loved it.flag if inappropriate
I have been making this sauce since it first appeared in Gourmet. We come from a large Italian family, several restaurant owners. Everyone loves this sauce. I use it in Lasagna, and Eggplant Parmesan as well as with Papardelle. One of the best ever!flag if inappropriate
An exceptional recipe; the proportions are perfect, though the cooking times needed adjustment to become a truly velvety sauce: I doubled the recipe overall and subbed in some sweet fennel sausage and prosciutto for a portion of the pork and subbed chicken stock for the water; it was cooked it in two stages. On evening one, I rendered the meats with the softened veggies for a couple hours before adding the tomato paste and cooking an hour more. I refrigerated the base over night, and in the morning added the liquids (using light cream) in a crock pot to simmer all day on low. I skimmed off most of the coppery fat, made a rue of it, and thickened it slightly. I finished the sauce with thyme, generous black pepper, and a little bit of sweet balsamic (for brightness). Served with steamed/roasted broccoli rabe, a light garden salad, a rich chianti, and some fresh italian bread... fantastic!flag if inappropriate
This is an amazing sauce. The key is to take it slow. Let the meat render in the fat for an hour. Then add the tomato paste and let that all caramelize for 30 minutes, THEN the milk. It makes all the difference. Check out this video of mario making it himself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqBqiGM1O54flag if inappropriate
My search for a delectable bolognese sauce is finally over! I have tries so many recipes and all have lacked flavor. I used my mini food processor to chop the veggies very fine, quick and easy. I only used just over a pound of meatloaf mix (combo of veal, pork and beef). I don't care for a whole lot of meat. A good pancetta is a must and finish off the dish with a good parmigiano rigliano. You're gonna love it!flag if inappropriate
This is my first review, so bear with me~ This sauce is delicious. I had to replace some meats (I live in the middle of nowhere), ground chuck, mild Italian sausage and half bacon/prosciutto. The key thing is, you MUST be patient. Do not follow the instructions after the meat cooks, but add the milk by itself. Let it simmer away and reduce, then add the wine. Let that simmer and reduce, then add the tomato paste, thyme and water (I used chicken stock that I had on hand) and simmer for a couple hours. And a pinch of nutmeg is lovely, added with the thyme. I've tried other recipes, varying on amounts of milk and wine, but this one is so much better. Just follow classic bolognese technique, not the 'dump and simmer' as described in this recipe. Time consuming, yes, but it made my knees weak.flag if inappropriate
What a delicious recipe...I too added hald and hald instead of milk and added a large can of diced tomatoes. A big hit with my family...flag if inappropriate

Pushing Back Against College Sexual Assault | Schoolgirl Kidnappings Spark Distrust in Nigerian Government | Sinn Fein Leader Gerry Adams Arrested | Congress Actually Agrees on Something: The Capitol Dome Restoration Project | Be Careful Posting That Online Review, You Might Just Get Sued | How House Parties & Millennials Will Save Classical Music
One Congresswoman thinks so—she's pushing for U.S. News & World Report to incorporate assault data into its ranking methodology.
Hundreds of Nigerian citizens took to the streets yesterday to demand the safe release of hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram, calling on government and military officials to do more to rescue the girls who have now been held captive for more than two weeks.
Even when it seems like there is nothing Congress can agree upon, our representatives have come together to conclude that the broken structure that houses them—1,300 cracks and all—is something that absolutely needs to be fixed.
In Northern Ireland, revelations about a 1972 murder uncovered by Boston College students may have led to the arrest of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, who has spent a night in jail and is being questioned by police.
What happens when an online review, one of the most basic forms of public participation online, calls into question larger issues of anonymity and libel? Alex Goldmark, senior producer for WNYC's New Tech City, reported on this topic with a focus on two cases playing out in the U.S.
A Boston-based startup is trying to attract 20-somethings to classical music. Groupmuse offers students and young professionals a chance to listen to live classical music performances in relaxed house party settings, including their own homes.
PLEASE direct some of this toward the PANHELLENIC/"Greek" systems on campuses. The culture of partying, fraternity exchanges (frats provide the parties/alcohol -- they pay for liability insurance NOT sororities so they can host the girls. The sororities have attendence requirements (points) so it is very difficult to sidetrack unhealthy activities. They are charged fines for not attending. It is understood and common knowledge among the parents that the Frats provide the booze and the beds (girls ARE allowed in their bunk/bedrooms, which is not the case in the sororities). The schools IGNORE what happens on Greek Row. WHO IS IN CHARGE? They say, the members...the kids.

Positive welcome for Scottish tax plans
SNP plans for a fairer tax to replace stamp duty in Scotland have been hailed by leading business and housing experts.
Finance Secretary John Swinney announced a consultation on a more progressive Land and Building Transaction Tax that will be closely related to an individual's ability to pay.
The move has been welcomed by the National Association of Estate Agents' Alison Hatrick, the Scottish Property Federation's David Melhuish, CBI Scotland's director Iain McMillan and the Law Society of Scotland.
Aileen McLeod, SNP MSP for South Scotland and member of the Scottish Parliament's Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee, said:
"Business and housing experts across the country have welcomed the SNP Government's plans for a fairer, more progressive tax to replace stamp duty.
"CBI Scotland, the National Association of Estate Agents and Scottish Property Federation have all made positive comments about the Land and Building Transaction Tax.
"The NAEA has even said this will help first time buyers and in particular young couples trying to buy two or three-bedroom homes.
"This tax is fairer as it will be more closely related to an individual's ability to pay.
"These positive comments simply demonstrate that plans made in Scotland can be better for Scotland and the strength of feeling that we need full fiscal powers is growing day by day.
"The SNP Government is making positive use of the devolution of these taxation powers in the Scotland Act 2012, so just imagine what we could achieve if all the taxes collected in Scotland were being used to the benefit of this country.
"With the anti-independence parties refusing to offer anything other than outright opposition to independence, the only way to get these powers is by voting Yes in the referendum."
1) On BBC GMS Alison Hatrick, from the National Association of Estate Agents, said: "Anything that the secretary can do that will help the housing market has got to be seen as something very positive. Clearly it's going to be very beneficial for the whole of Scotland."
2) In the Scotsman, David Melhuish, director of the Scottish Property Federation, said: "Today's Land and Buildings Transaction Tax announcement by the Scottish Government is a promising start on this important new tax."
3) In the Scotsman, the Director of CBI Scotland Iain McMillan said: "We welcome this move and will study the consultation carefully."
4) Law Society of Scotland President, Austin Lafferty, said: "This is a particularly welcome announcement from the Cabinet Secretary. The proposals for a distinct Scottish property and land tax would introduce clarity where there has long been confusion and remove the often unnecessary anxiety and delay for solicitors' clients who are involved in property transactions."
5) Isobel d'Inverno, convener of the Law Society's Tax Law Committee, said: "Today's announcement represents a real opportunity to improve the current system in Scotland. The proposals take a commonsense approach and promote using existing expertise to replace the current, ill-fitting system of tax, with a better land transaction tax, built on Scots property law.
"The Law Society's Tax Law and Property Law committees have for many years made numerous representations to HMRC about the problems of applying SDLT to Scottish property transactions and have been instrumental in proposing changes to make the system more workable, including drafting the Scottish Lease chapter of HMRC's SDLT manual. However, the opportunities presented by introducing a tailored system that is easier to understand and to apply, would bring a clear benefit to Scottish solicitors and more importantly, to their clients.
"The Law Society's Tax and Property Law committees are committed to this process and look forward to engaging with the Scottish Government and other interested parties in developing a new system of land tax for Scotland."
6) In the Herald, Head of CKD Galbraith's residential division, said: "This will hopefully allow people to consider a more expensive property. Anything like this which reduces stamp duty will have a positive effect on the market, albeit not a huge one."
7) In the Herald, head of estate agents Strutt and Parker Carolyn Campbell said: This announcement suggests a much fairer correlation between the amount of tax paid and the value of the proerty, which will prove positive for prospective buyers."

Report: League tells Jared Allen to stop 'roping the calf' after sacks
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Jared Allen may have to alter his signature sack celebration.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported on Sunday morning the NFL has told the All-Pro end he will be flagged and fined if he continues to do the celebration, which involves Allen miming the rodeo-style roping of a calf.
League rules prohibit players from going to the ground in celebration unless they're praying. So, Allen is considered to be in violation because he drops to a knee before making the roping motion and then spreading his arms.
A noted outdoorsman, Allen has done the celebration for years -- including after most of his 30 sacks over two-plus seasons with the Vikings -- so it's unclear why the league is cracking down now.
Allen's only sack this season came Sept. 19 against Miami. It's possible the Dolphins turned in tape of Allen celebrating to ask why he wasn't penalized.

The original Hellboy was blessed with more than its fair share of excellent poster art, from writer/creator/artist Mike Mignola's teaser one-sheet to Drew Struzan's take. But it was this red 'n' black (and yellow) number that made it to the steelbook, with the colours lightened and the position slightly tilted. It also doesn't have the release date to remind you just how long ago it was when it came out (2004, fact fans).

Comments about American Recorder Technologies 40 Watt Soldering Iron:
This was an impulse purchase which I wasn't sure I needed. I'd been using a couple of old RS irons for occasional cable repairs. This iron is MUCH faster and makes my soldering almost professional-looking. A great buy.
Comments about American Recorder Technologies 40 Watt Soldering Iron:
I've usd it to replace pickups on a Stratocaster, resolder a hot wire on my bass, and put in a neck humbucker on my Mockingbird, and it works well. Heats up in about 3 minutes.

For what it's worth, I don't think you are a troll.
You do seem to have got to the nub of the matter here and quickly sussed out what's going on.
Also, it was good that you looked at EDP activities elsewhere so that you could see what some of us 'jackals' object to about the EDP and some of its members.
It may, of course, all mean that you're a jackal now, because if you're not with them, you're against them.

The Welfare Reform Bill: What's wrong with time-limiting contributory ESA?
Another summarising primer on these issues for people who aren't necessarily aware of what's going on with UK disability benefits. If you know all about this already, click here for what we need to do about it today.
There are a few reasons why ESA has not become a national scandal, and one of those is that it sounds complicated. But it is vitally important, if you live in the UK it effects you and I am to try to keep this simple, so please bear with me.
Employment Support Allowance is replacing all the old incapacity benefits. It is awarded to people who are considered unable to work due to illness, injury or disability. There are various different levels of benefit, depending on one's level of impairment and National Insurance contributions.
The most serious issue about ESA in the Welfare Reform bill is that for most people on the benefit, there will be a time-limit of one year. These are people who
There are four very serious problems with this proposal
1. Hardship
Wealthier people, whose partners have well-paid jobs are unlikely to experience real hardship. Single people without savings will not become much poorer. However, the Disability Alliance calculates that on average, a person on this benefit will lose £50 per week. Many people will lose closer to £100.
A partner's income begins to effect benefits at £7500 a year - that's about a twenty-four hour working week at minimum wage. That's still a rather poor household, who cannot afford to lose a penny.
Benefits for people out of work due to ill health have always been higher than unemployment benefit because
2. Hopelessness
Becoming incapacitated for work involves many losses and a loss of income, together with a more frugal lifestyle is inevitable. Nobody asks that those unable to work should be paid anything like what a person could earn in work.
However, some disabled people have savings or money they've inherited. People affected by the time-limit will face the prospect of having to live off this money, which either they or someone else had worked hard for, resisting all the temptations they might have spent it on.
There has always been some irony in the disincentives to save money for people who might end up on means-tested benefits, but for disabled people, who crucially, have no other means of improving their situation, this seems particularly unfair. Especially, when the three most common scenarios for a disabled person with savings would be either
3. Pressure on Sick People.
There's no condition in the world, physical, sensory, mental or intellectual, which might benefit from a ticking clock. In fact, I believe the presence of a time limit could be deadly dangerous in two ways:
Last January, Aliquant wrote this post about how, feeling cornered by the benefits system, suicide seemed quite rational. It's a powerful post because Ali was so articulate; she simply couldn't cope with the risk of more homelessness, further hardship or having to jump through any more hoops. Soon after, 5 Quid for Life was set up, a charity to help people like Ali survive when things go wrong. Since then, the benefits situation has been implicated in at least ten suicides.
4. Damage Caused to Relationships
Money can't buy you love and poverty doesn't destroy it, but relationships can become a lot tougher when when one partner has literally no income and crucially, no means of bringing in money if they want to. I see three effects of this:
The government's motives for this are deeply cynical.
Years back, when ESA was first discussed by the then Labour Government, the disability blogosphere and messageboards were awash with anxiety about sick people being pressured into work that they just couldn't get. I wrote a post on BBC Ouch! explaining that logically, we had nothing to fear. If Employment Support Allowance was to have a "Work Group", the government simply had to get these people into work. If vast numbers of us were placed in this Work Group, who didn't have a hope of getting a job, we would become bad statistics.
The Conservative Government came up with a way round this, which is to make these people disappear. Anyone on this band of ESA with savings or a working partner will simply disappear after twelve months. They will not add to the unemployment statistics because they have been declared unfit for work. They will not be claiming any benefit at all.
Here is the link I gave you at the top: This is what we need to do now.
(A draft version of this may have appeared in your feed-reader last night - sorry about that! I was so confident that I couldn't accidentally publish my drafted post in the new style Blogger (as I often did in the old one), but hey, I found a way.)

Iraq Police Shoot Protesters

February 4, 2011
Iraqi police opened fire on Thursday to disperse hundreds of angry residents protesting against shortages of power, water and other services near the southern city of Diwaniya, wounding three, officials said.
The crowd of about 1,000 tried to force its way into a local council building in the al-Hamza district south of the Diwaniya provincial capital, demanding improved food rations and more power and water.
Diwaniya is a poor, largely Shi'ite province that has suffered serious shortages. Protesters accused Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of breaking promises to improve services.

Moro fighter dies, 5 survive attack at sea-A A +A
By Bong Garcia
Friday, January 4, 2013
A MEMBER of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) died while five others, including a family of three, were unscathed in a gun attack at sea east of Zamboanga City, the police reported.
The Police Station 4 reported that the incident took place around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday off the village of Mercedes, 14 kilometers (km) east of Zamboanga City.
The police identified the lone fatality as Akrab Jama, a resident of Tigtabon, which is an island village located 8.5 km east of Zamboanga City.
Those who were unscathed in the attack were the motorized banca owner-operator Abdurajid Jawari, 49; his sons Arsamil, 16; and Alyaser, 25; daughter-in-law, Milfaena, 19; and the couple's daughter; seven-month-old Yasmir, according to the police.
Investigation showed the victims were aboard a motorized banca operated by the elder Jawari and on the way to Tigtabon Island after buying several containers of drinking water when three unidentified gunmen aboard on another motorized banca attacked in between the Sitios Bilang-Bilang and Mulu-Muluan, the police said.
Jama could be the attack's main target and the motive of the incident could be personal grudge, the police said.

In Thailand, May 5 is a public holiday to commemorate Coronation Day, known in Thai as Wan Chatramongkhol. This year Coronation Day falls on a Sunday, so Monday May 6 is a substitution day holiday.
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej came to the throne in June 1946 following the death of his brother. However, the king was only 18 at the time and it was decided that the new monarch should complete his studies before the formal coronation ceremony which took place on May 5, 1950. The ninth king of the Chakri Dynasty, His Majesty has the title of King Rama IX and is the world's longest reigning living monarch.

Ask an Ombudsman: Discussing long-term care
FORT PIERCE - Q: What are the benefits of volunteering as a certified long-term-care ombudsman?
A: Many individuals feel a special calling to help others and to serve vulnerable populations. Many of our elderly citizens need assistance and feel neglected or forgotten about. Becoming a volunteer ombudsman means that, if called upon, you give an immediate voice to elderly citizens living in long-term-care facilities by becoming their advocate.
The Florida Ombudsman Program recognizes the need to achieve results quickly for residents of long-term-care facilities. As an ombudsman, you will regularly visit facilities and be able to bring resident problems to the appropriate staff member and assist in ensuring that the problem doesn't happen again. Many ombudsmen stay with the program because they are able to see the results of their work on behalf of residents. It is very gratifying for our volunteer ombudsmen to be able to see the immediate impact of their efforts.
Q: Our parents moved into a long-term-care facility last month. At first, they were separated due to the facility being full, but now the facility has fewer residents and more open rooms. Can we ask the facility to move our parents into a room together?
A: Yes, you can. Residents have the right to share a room with a spouse if both individuals are residents of the facility.
Kevin McKeown is the District Ombudsman Manager for the Treasure Coast Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.
To ask for an ombudsman's assistance, learn more about the program, or to become a volunteer ombudsman, call the Treasure Coast District Office at 772- 595-1385 or toll-free at 1-888-831-0404.

English at UVic
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord?
Hamlet: Words, words, words.
Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord?
Hamlet: Between who?
Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Don't let Hamlet mess with you. The "matter," of course, is Literature.
Literature captures us and urges us to reflect upon our relation to the world, to our culture, and to ourselves. In stories, poems, and plays; in epics, romances, and sacred texts; in films, graphic novels, and even video games: we represent who we are through imagination and language. We are, after all, Homo loquens: the creature that uses language in a very special way.
The English Department at UVic proudly offers a wide range of both traditional and cutting-edge courses that tackle literature from a variety of perspectives, with the purpose of feeding your imagination, challenging your intellect, and offering the pleasures of reading.
At the same time, our English courses, whether in literature or Professional Communication, develop your ability to write well, to analyze texts effectively, and to create your own effective texts. These courses will also prepare for you for reading and writing in contexts beyond the classroom and university, wherever clear, competent communication is valued. We are also very strong in Digital Humanities, offering a number of exciting graduate and undergraduate courses that bring together literary and digital studies.

Morrison & Foerster has fully embraced the moniker MoFo. And now the firm appears to be embracing a WTF theme for its website.
MoFo rolled out the new website recently. Tipsters say the new site took years and many dollars to create. The design budget is rumored to be $1 million. (We've asked the firm to comment on the cost, but it has not responded.)
The site, however, doesn't look like a million bucks. Multiple readers have checked it out and sent us emails like this one:
It looks like someone hacked their site, or that they delegated web design (and authorship) to a 13-year-old kid learning HTML. Truly dreadful.
Most Biglaw websites are pretty staid. MoFo is seriously rocking the Biglaw boat with this redesign. There are mind games, sound effects, and optical illusions. We give you a tour after the jump.
Here's the site's new American Apparel-esque welcome page:
If you click on Imagination, MoFo tells you:
We're rarely at a loss for words. But sometimes showing beats telling.
We suspect the designers are fans of the puzzles of Myst. This page left us more perplexed than the space-time continuum questions raised by the Lost season premiere last night:
It turns out to be a fun little game. These shapes represent MoFo's characteristics. Click on a shape to see what two characteristics MoFo combines! Try to figure out what it means! Then click on the little comment cloud on the left for the answer. Here are some examples.
MoFo wants this to illustrate "Acuity and Diligence."
This said to us: "We will solve your puzzles and clean up your sh**."
This is supposed to suggest that MoFo is "Predictable and Unexpected."
It said to us: "We are some crazy MoFo'ers, and we wake up hella' early."
This is meant to illustrate that MoFo is "Imposing and Agile."
It said to us: "We like animals."
If you're not tired of MoFo's mind games, surf on over to Innovation. This page hurts my eyes and my brain:
And then MoFo doesn't even give you the answers to the optical illusions. It colorfully explains:
Why do clients have to solve the puzzles themselves? Isn't that why they hire lawyers? Are their prospective clients really supposed to be conversant with the rule against perpetuities? That's like Daniel Faraday expecting the rest of the Lost characters to understand his physics equations and why the Island can move through time.
We checked out MoFo's Commitment and wondered if this is really the image one wants for conveying how "special" the firm is:
Apparently, the website designers were not committed to proper spelling:
Finally, if you click on This is MoFo, you're taken to a page with '25 reasons why you should choose MoFo.' Reasons include #2 – Diversity, illustrated by a box of chocolates and #12 – Kumbaya, because MoFo is good at executing M&A transactions filled with peace and harmony:
It's hard to focus on the "peace" part of this, because every time you click on those numbers, it makes a gunshot noise. Exploring the page feels like being in a drive-by shooting.
Rather than thinking about the "25 examples of what makes MoFo different," the page made us think, "This is MoFo. Hire us or we'll put a cap in your a**."

I have a confession to make. I broke the law. A lot.
Does it help if I say I had no idea I was doing it? Does ignorance get me out of my misdeeds? Ignorance seems to go a long way it seems — especially when it comes to draconian state laws. Especially those that apply more harshly to women than to men.
I first noticed this when someone sent me this article about a married woman in Buffalo, New York who was caught allegedly having sex in a public picnic area, with someone who was not her husband. Both the woman and her partner were charged with public lewdness. But oddly, only the woman was charged with adultery.
Adultery: "Legal Dictionary – voluntary sexual activity (as sexual intercourse) between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband; also : the crime of adultery"
Of course, adultery seems like a very old fashioned legal rap to hit someone with. And why just the woman, in this case, and not the man as well? It may go back to yesterday's column, explaining that New York is in fact the last state in the country not to allow a no fault divorce. Although many other states do in fact have old adultery laws on the books, they are almost never actually used as a charge. But for New York, where a person actually needs a legal reason to end a marriage, adultery plays a much bigger role, as many noted during the David Paterson scandal in 2008.
Section 255.17 of the state penal law states, "A person is guilty of adultery when he engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse. Adultery is a class B misdemeanor." A class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.
In reality, of course, the law is rarely enforced. About a dozen people have been charged with adultery since the early 1970s, most of them upstate. (Most of the charges were dismissed, or apparently were dropped after the defendants pleaded guilty to other charges.)
While no one is really at risk of being jailed for adultery, adultery still has tremendous significance in family law, said Alton L. Abramowitz, another divorce lawyer.
Adultery is one of three principal grounds for divorce in New York State, along with abandonment for a period of more than a year (or abandonment in the form of refusal to have sexual relations) and cruel and inhuman treatment, which includes both mental and physical cruelty.
Under New York law, Mr. Abramowitz said, in a divorce case, adultery can only be proven by the testimony of a third person who is not a party to the action and not a party to the adultery. "That's how private detectives make a living," he said.
An adultery charge, carrying the full weight of the police behind it, makes for a pretty convincing third party.
But over all, how can a moral law like this affect a woman more so than a man, especially when men tend to cheat more than their female counterparts?
Well, technically, just the very definition itself is biased. The original technical definition refers to "sex between a woman who was married and a person other than her spouse." And, sadly, in some places that has not only not changed, but may be more exacerbated than you can imagine.
Imagine my shock when I learned upon doing more research that my home state of Minnesota is one such state that has laws on the books that make it illegal for women to have affairs, but not for their husbands. And that it doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.
"It's completely obsolete and should be repealed," said State Senator Ellen Anderson tried many years ago to get the adultery law repealed.
The law makes it illegal for a married woman to have sexual intercourse with a man other than her husband. It's a gross misdemeanor: 1 year in jail and a possible fine up to $3000.
The law is a relic from the old days; passed by the territorial legislature before Minnesota was even a state.
It is not enforced, but it exists.
But it's not the only law in the state regarding sexual relations for women. And sadly, this is where I may have to atone for my prior illegal activities.
Another sex-related law that targets women is fornication.
It's illegal if you're a single female. And not everyone thinks that's a bad thing.
"We think they're important. They send a message," said Tom Prichard of the Minnesota Family Council.
Prichard explains that he does think that the law should be extended to men as well, which I suppose then has the added benefit of putting both partners in jail.
I wonder if we would be allowed conjugal visits?
Of course, all of these laws, which as people keep stating repeatedly are seldom actually enforced, hail back to the days when women needed to be guarded in order to ensure the parentage of the offspring and ascertain that property was legally passed down to the proper people. But now that we have so little concern for such thing, why are people so reluctant to finally remove them from the official police line up?
Is it really that the effort to overturn them is not worth it? Or is it that secretly, people enjoy having laws that can be used to shame women should the need arise?
After all, you never know who you might run into doing it on a picnic table.

As to New York matrimonial law ... this article is the least of its problems. Oh, and there are (at least) seven reasons in DRL 270.
I remind everyone that the topic of this article was the unequal treatment of this particular morality law: only women can be guilty of adultery. Men can't. That's wrong. That's not "equal protection under the law". Morality laws like this one, more often than not, tend to apply more harshly to women than men. Changing this will not destroy society.
@DH C: "Adultery is bad for society because it undermines the family which is the basic building block of society, and that can cause the whole tower of blocks to tumble down." "Society cannot survive based on such behavior."
Marriage is a contract, DH. There are lots of things that can invalidate a contract. That doesn't mean that society will collapse if we don't make all of them illegal. On the contrary, not allowing people autonomy over their own bodies will do far more to topple society than decriminalizing adultery. You cannot legislate morality, because there is no such thing as Universal Morality. Whose morality are you going to enforce? Whoever's you choose is going to anger people who disagree with that morality. No. Adultery should not be a crime. What it IS, though, is a reason for terminating the marriage contract. Yes, I know it's painful for the wronged spouse. I've been there. But many things that emotionally hurt people are not (nor should they be) illegal. A woman may be emotionally hurt by her husband spending all their weekends watching football, instead of doing things with her. Are you in favor of making watching football illegal? I'm certainly not. But if that woman is really feeling totally neglected, no one would fault her for divorcing the guy and getting someone who appreciates her. Society's laws need to stay out of our bedrooms.
I remind everyone that the topic of this article was the unequal treatment of this particular m
Have you ever owned a set of wooden blocks, and stacked them on top of each other? What happens if you start removing the blocks at the bottom?
It all falls down.
I don't think adultery laws should be removed, but I do think they have to be made fair for both sexes, and inclusive to include same sex partners.
Adultery is bad for society because it undermines the family which is the basic building block of society, and that can cause the whole tower of blocks to tumble down. We should at the very least factor in adultery when it comes to finding fault in ending marriages, and not reward adulterers for their betrayal.
Adultery is not a consensual sharing of sexual partners by two married adults, or the consensual allowance of additional sexual partners beyond the couples relationship. If a couple is comfortable with that kind of relationship chances are they are communicating their needs to each other effectively, and have reached an understanding that includes the trust of their agreement.
Adultery is a betrayal of the trust that a marriage is supposed to be based on because it breaks any presumed agreement without discussion, and pre-consent.
If you commit adultery you are essentially saying to your loved one my needs matter more than you, and I care so little about your feelings that Im not even going to discuss it with you beforehand to see if you would be ok with it.
Society cannot survive based on such behavior.
Oh for god's sake, marriage and divorce both benefit the female.
My wife left me, her dog, and our daughter in May to go fornicate with another male. I never committed adultery once in our entire marriage.
Not only is she not punished for this behavior, she's rewarded!. I've paid all the bills for our daughter, my wife hasn't paid a penny, and yet she can come after me for half my savings and half the value of our house. Indiana has no fault, 50-50 law which means the purpose of no fault is to find fault. if we go to court I am on trial, something right out of Kafka. This is how males who step up and be good dads are treated. Like crap.
this article no doubt written by a female. Why does the Christian religion list adultery as one of their ten commandments? What is the point of taking marital vows if adultery isn't at least
not rewarded? I am outraged and doing a public forum.
Maybe if the busybodies got better in their own bedrooms they wouldn't be invading other people's bedrooms. What do you think?
Only the women and only the poor.
The men are expected to have affairs when women who want to be rich marry them.
I'm thinking maybe the man was not married and, therefore, cannot be acused of adultry. Never-the-less, morals are different for different people. The days of the "scarlet letter" are gone. Adultry is not a good thing but it is a choice two consenting adults need to make for themselves. Morals vary greatly in today's world. One persons "never do" is someone else's "why not do?".
What two grown consenting adults do is their own damn business, and no one, especially not the government, has the right to tell them what they can or can't do with their relationships.
I totally agree with Mimi.

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin (1-6-2, 1-4-2 WCHA) was unable to get going early, dug itself a hole and was never able to climb out, as Minnesota State (4-5-2, 2-5-0 WCHA) earned the 4-2 in the Kohl Center on Friday night.
"I can't put my finger on it," Ryan Little (Fond du Lac, Wis.) said of the loss. "I know no one in that room is going to give up, the coaching staff is not going to give up. The leadership group is not going to give up.
"That's our only option right now."
Little tried to provide the much-needed spark for the Badgers, tying the game late in the second period behind a great hustle play. With 8:03 left in the period, Little pressured the Maverick defenseman in front of the MSU net, and forced a turnover that he turned into his second goal of the season. His shot squeaked past MSU goalie Stephon Williams for the score and tied the game at 2-2.
That would be the second and last time the Badgers would score all night, however, as Williams put together a 32-save performance, including 27 over the final two periods, to secure the MSU win.
The Mavericks scored first on the night, as Dylan Margonari took a pass from Matt Leitner and Jon Jutzi, got free on the right side, and fired MSU's first shot of the game past Landon Peterson (Oregon, Wis.) to make it 1-0 at the 2:11 mark of the first period.
It didn't take long for the UW's leading scorer, Michael Mersch (Park Ridge, Ill.), to come up with the response, however, as 1:11 later the junior forward answered with his seventh goal of the season.
After Derek Lee (North Vancouver, B.C.) brought the got the puck on net by batting a puck out of the air, Mersch eventually connected with a jab for the score on the rebound and tied the game at 1-1 at the 3:22 mark of the period. Keegan Meuer (Madison, Wis.) was also credited with an assist.
Though the game was tied, it felt as if the Badgers were skating from behind the rest of the period, lacking energy and momentum. It wasn't until the 10:18 mark of the first period that they actually would fall behind again. Ranked third in the WCHA with nine assists, Matt Leitner showed he could score as well, going backdoor from left circle and putting it home to make it 2-1 MSU.
Following Little's hustle play that evened things up at 2-2 midway through the second period, the Badgers seemed on the verge of seizing control of the game on their home ice, outshooting the Mavericks through the second period, 16-8.
Though the Badgers were able to kill off nine of 10 power plays last weekend against No. 3 Minnesota, they allowed a third-period power-play goal to the Mavericks on this night. After Chase Drake (Mosinee, Wis.) was called for a two-minute boarding penalty, Eriah Hayes made the Badgers pay. At the 5:48 mark of the final period, Hayes skated down the high slot unnoticed and fire one past Peterson to make it 3-2 MSU.
The Mavericks would ice the game with a late empty-netter at the 19:15 mark of the third period, as Eli Zuck finished from near center ice and give MSU the 4-2 lead. Johnny McInnis and Tyler Elbrecht earned assists on the play.
The Badgers and Mavericks return to the Kohl Center tomorrow night, as UW looks to earn its first home win of the season. The puck is set to drop at 7 p.m. (CT). The game airs live on FS Wisconsin+ (Check local listings).
