Tanzania`s energy sources are set to be further diversified after announcement by a firm currently engaged in exploration of plans to produce 100 megawatts of geothermal power by 2014.
Graeme Robertson whose Geothermal Power (Tanzania) Limited is currently conducting exploration in Mbeya Region, said at a press conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday that drilling of the geothermal wells would commence in twelve months time along the Ngozi volcanic area in the region.
Partners in geothermal Power Tanzania Limited are the National Development Corporation (NDC), and the Tanzania Mining Company (interstate Mining and Mineral Limited) and Mauritius-based Geothermal Power Limited.
He said that geothermal power was a reliable alternative source of energy that would fix some problems for Tanesco in power production.
Robertson said initial capital of the venture was 5 million dollars which is equivalent to 8 billion Tanzania shillings, adding that the project would minimise the problems of power rationing in the country.
"We have embarked on geotechnical, geological and drilling work. This process is environmentally friendly and we expect to offer a solution to the problems of power rationing which was experienced in the past few months" said Robertson.
He explained that his company targeted Mbeya because the region lies in the lift valley and it is a volcanic region. He said exploration and drilling were being conducted along the Mbaka and Livingstone faults.
"We expect these two areas to produce some 10 megawatts which we believe would also benefit some 5000 villagers around the area," he said.
NDC officials said the partnership will benefit not only from power supply but also technology.
Recent geological surveys have provided evidence that Malawi, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania have a huge potential for geothermal energy, which could reduce heavy reliance on hydropower and fossil fuel in the region.
According to an assessment by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Environment Facility, there are 4,000 Megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity ready for harvesting along the Rift Valley.

text: Our boneless rib eye is richly marbled, with a natural "flavor kernel" running through each steak that melts and bastes the meat during cooking, keeping it juicy and imparting delicious beef flavor. These choice cuts are from a 150-year-old family-owned New York butcher that supplies some of the country's top steakhouses and restaurants. The hand-picked USDA Prime beef is expertly dry aged for three weeks at Strassburger's onsite facility, a process that concentrates natural flavors and tenderizes the meat. The steaks require only a quick turn on the grill or under the broiler.

It's so interesting to watch reading skills start to click for children. While the process of learning to read is different for everyone, you can often recognize those kids who have been read to a lot. It must be so much easier for them when they know that those little black blocks of sticks and squiggles correspond to the words they hear and say. And when they know about turning pages and going from left to right (for most of the books in this culture) and which way is up. All of these concepts about print are more easily learned when kids are read to early and often. Then, when the decoding part "starts to click" early readers have a more enjoyable time on top of that solid foundation. Building this foundation of concepts about print most often requires only a consistent and caring pleasurable effort- sharing books with your children every day. Singing easy songs - whatever you like. Saying those rhymes you remember or find some new ones. Your kids will love them. Choose books that you'll both enjoy. Visit your branch library for lots of great read aloud choices and you can watch it start to click from the very beginning.
Ever read a book, watch a movie, or listen to a recording you loved so much you want to tell everyone all about it? Now you can create your own book reviews for the Kalamazoo Public Library website!
And, if you want, you can record your review with your own voice. We'll post your book review on our website!
Love that book? Didn't like it so much? Be Creative and tell the world all about it! It's easy.
Listen to an example. You can write and record a review about anything you read and make it your own with your own voice. Have fun with Summer Reading Games this year!

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Michael Crabtree caught a pair of touchdown passes en route to a career-high 172 receiving yards as the San Francisco 49ers clinched the NFC West crown with a 27-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
The 49ers can also lock up a first-round bye in the playoffs with a loss or tie by the Green Bay Packers, who are currently playing the Minnesota Vikings.
Crabtree finished with eight receptions for the 49ers (11-4-1), who ended the regular season with wins in three of its last four games.
Colin Kaepernick completed 16-of-28 passes for 276 yards and the two touchdowns, while Frank Gore carried the ball 20 times for 68 yards and a score in the victory.
Brian Hoyer, who was claimed by the Cardinals off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 10, made his first career start and threw for 225 yards with a touchdown and interception on 19-of-34 efficiency.
Michael Floyd caught eight balls for 166 yards and a touchdown for Arizona (5-11), which closed out its season with losses in 11 of its last 12 games after starting 4-0.

Grab the sunscreen as summer is here
By: George deVilbiss
Some were thinking we might not have a summer this year. There have been just three years in recorded history when 100-degree temperatures were never attained, but 2010 won't go in that record book. Summer heat has definitely set in and that means adjusting your fishing habits for both comfort and the best chances of putting fish in the cooler. Depending what elevation you go to in the mountains along with coastal regions, the nights and early mornings can be a tad chilly. Midday, while certainly not as warm as the valley floor, the areas tend to still get quite warm. The high country, this past week, was hit with some pretty severe summer thunderstorms, storms that produced a lot of lightning, torrential rains and, in some areas, very strong winds. No matter where you are, be prepared for all eventualities. Bay Area: When the tides are slower, the halibut fishing is well worth the trip. While most of the California halibut tend to run 8-10 pounds, there's always one caught in the low 20s. All spots in the bay are producing. Just watch the tides closely. If it's a fast, ripping tide, halibut fishing won't be all that great but stripers might be, though the red-hot bite hasn't turned on yet. Offshore Salmon: If it's a boat ride you want, then go. Salmon fishing has been great. It's just the catching that's not good. The action is pretty spotty up and down the coast. Rock cod catching in all the ports have been producing well and having a limit of bottom fish makes for outstanding table fare. Eagle Lake: It's that time of year to put the trolling gear away and dig out the still fishing equipment. Those hanging a crawler under a bobber are doing well. Well, some are. You need to fire up the boat motor while it's pretty much dark and be at the fishing area at the crack of dawn. The bite starts early and is pretty much over by 8 a.m. Shrimp Island has been one of the best producing areas, but if there are too many boats in the area, then the narrows off the Youth Camp and Wildcat Point should provide you with action, too. Trollers are getting some fish but why burn the gas when there's better action by anchoring. French Meadows Reservoir: They're working on the dam but it's not affecting the fishing or boating. While trolling should get you bit, those fishing from shore are hammering rainbows. There are a lot of tree stumps and snags in the water off the French Meadows Campground but by either boat ramps, the upper end where the fresh water enters the lake, and coves, reachable by the hiking trail that will take you to the hike-in Poppy Campground, are all good areas to fish. I've done extremely well with salmon eggs here. At nearby Hell Hole Reservoir, a longer drive to get to but the fishing is also outstanding for kokanee, German browns and 'bows along with an occasional lake trout. Lake Pardee: They're still regularly, weekly planting trout but with the current summer heat, the trout aren't staying very long in the Rec Area Cove. If you're there the day they plant, you can do some good catching. But it's that time of year when trolling in the main body of the lake, down by the dam or up in the river that the better fishing is found. New Hogan: This is one lake that has a tremendously large striper population and this is the time of year, while they're chasing schools of shad, you'll see large boils of fish on the surface as they feed. This lake can be tough fishing during the day, especially on the weekends with the heavy recreational boating traffic, but early mornings, late afternoons and night times all produce well. Landlocked striper limits, by the way, is five fish per day with no size limit, and some people have been putting full limits in the cooler. There are some big fish in the lake, but the average will only be 5-6 pounders. Cut bait from shore, if you are without a boat, has worked. Drifting cut anchovy by boat has worked well or trolling with something like a large, saltwater Rat-L-Trap. Catfishing in the shallows at night is a hot fishery. Not only will you string up the standard brown bullhead catfish but some good channel cats as well. Frenchman: Snows are gone and the lake is only half full. Fish are going deeper with the warming weather, meaning downrigger time to hit the 30-40 foot depths. A threaded crawler behind flashers should get you bit on rainbows up to 20 inches. Camp Far West: Fishing is pretty much out of the question with all the recreational boating traffic unless you want to fish at the crack of dawn or the last hour of light on into the dark of night. There is a striper population still in the lake, but not a major presence. We caught an 11-pounder a few years ago while fishing for crappie. Recently, a 19-pounder was checked in, so there are still a few roaming the lake's waters. Best right now, though, will be the catfishing. Bullards Bar: While the lake is just about tip-top full, there is a decent kokanee bite, a fishery that was all but non-existent the past two or three years. The good news is the kokes aren't that deep, either, only down 20-30 feet. The old standby, Wedding Rings, should get you bit on these little salmon running up to a foot long. Just tip your hook with a couple kernels of shoepeg, white corn. It does make all the difference in the world. Any questions, comments or concerns, contact George at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Why did I wait? Review by CC
Had my eye on this jacket for a few years but never pulled the trigger. Finally did and my only complaint is that I wish I had done it sooner. This jacket is unbelievable. I had a jacket from the bigtime bike manufacturer and thought it was nice, but this Milwaukee jacket is twice the jacket at half the price. No joke. Felt like federal body armor when I took it out of the box, but after wearing it for one day it already feels broken in, yet still super heavy duty. The leather is outstanding. The construction is as good as it gets. Even though this is a classic style and there are seven million variations of this jacket out there, this one definitely has its own slightly different and very unique style. The pockets are practically limitless. Zippers are super heavy duty. Speaking of zippers, the only thing I would change if I could is I would make the front zipper a 2-way. I'm a short guy so I like to be able to open the zipper on the bottom a bit so they don't shift up on me when I'm on the bike, can't do that with this one. Thanks MMCC, for a phenomenal jacket.

- Right Jacket, Right Size, Too Expensive For 5X Size Differentation Review by Tom Chop
The leather and leatherworking are top notch. The service was good and they were straight-up with delivery. My only bitch is the hellacious price increase for the larger sizes(5X). I`ve ridden through sun, rain, and sleet with no f*~#ing problems so far. Keep plenty of leather care products on it and you`ll be O.K. I also wonder why size 5X isn`t offered any more? Guess they felt bad ripping -off size 5X so badly. Take Care Tom Chop

ATLANTA (AP) -- Federal prosecutors have charged five men with raping and pimping out teenage girls in Atlanta-area hotels.
Two of the men appeared in federal court Friday, while three others were arraigned earlier. Prosecutors say the men forced three 14-year-old girls and a 16-year-old to perform sex acts for money after soliciting customers on classified ads website Backpage.com.
Prosecutors say the men were part of a gang called "Da M.O.B." They are charged in two separate indictments based on the victims and alleged gang members involved. The men are charged with conspiring to engage in sex trafficking of minors and sex trafficking of minors. Three of the men also face firearms charges.
Prosecutors say the men also choked and beat the girls when they refused to be prostituted or tried to escape.

Basically any Nickelback or Some Kind Of Jones song sums up my life in its entirety.

I joined the Huffington Post again in late June to talk about the relationships we have with food and the risks of ascribing moral value onto food. After spending years of my life feeling guilty for nourishing myself, I fully consider part of "healthy eating" to include eating food you enjoy, even if it's high in sugar or not bursting with nutrients, without feeling any guilt, anxiety, or shame.
If you don't have time to watch the full segment (but you should, because all of the panelists had great things to say!), here's a snippet elaborating on how I understand "healthy" eating:
Special thanks to Caitlyn Becker and the Huffington Post for the invitation and for continuing to engage in critical discussions around these important issues!

John Mayer Admits He's Been a Jerk
Before hooking up with KATY PERRY, JOHN MAYER was known for sharing a little too much information about his busted relationships. And it sounds like he finally understands that wasn't cool.
--In an interview that'll air this weekend on "CBS Sunday Morning", he says, quote, "I was just a jerk."
--He adds, quote, "It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you. I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
(--By the way . . . don't expect to see John and Katy sitting together at the Grammys. Katy is bringing her good friend ALLISON WILLIAMS from the HBO series "Girls" as her date.)
IT'S ON! Between Chris Brown and Richard Marx!
CHRIS BROWN better watch his back at the Grammys on Sunday . . . because superstar '90s balladeer RICHARD MARX might just be "Right Here Waiting" . . . to throw down.
--Marx recently added himself to Chris's long list of enemies when he Tweeted this . . . "Risque clothing banned at Grammys but guys who beat up women? Come ooonnn downnnnn.....#goodcallgrammys."
Did Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood Order the Grammys to Keep Them Separated?
According to "Us Weekly", TAYLOR SWIFT and CARRIE UNDERWOOD ordered the Grammy big shots to keep them separated . . . because they can't stand each other.
--A so-called source said, quote, "Grammy execs were ordered to keep the two 'from crossing paths' at the show 'since they hate each other!'" Another source said, quote, "Taylor feels Carrie is always rude to her, so she steers clear of her."
--GossipCop.com decided to look into it . . . and they found someone close to Taylor who says the story is "100 percent untrue."
--Speaking of Taylor Swift and the Grammys. She's going to be the opening act . . . which is a big deal because that always goes to a performer who can knock it out of the park. But the surprising part is that Taylor didn't find out about it until last week.
--That's what she said on RYAN SEACREST'S show: Quote, "What's interesting is we presented this performance to the Grammy committee . . . and they said, 'Okay, cool you have a performance spot.'
--"And then like a week ago they call us and say, 'Oh, by the way, you're opening the show.'" She adds, quote, "It's not like they approach you . . . and say 'Let's do a big opening performance thing.' It just surprised me I was going to go first."
--One last bit of Taylor Swift news: She also told Ryan Seacrest that she has NO DATE for Valentine's Day. She said, quote, "I'll probably be with my friends or rehearsing

Robin Roberts Is Returning to "Good Morning America" This Month

Ravier hasn't played for Brandon since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a game on Jan. 6. He had reconstructive surgery and has been rehabilitating but has not yet been cleared to play.

- Nor Glide® door closer fluid is a specially formulated hydraulic fluid that contains lubricity and anti oxidation agents that provide optimum performance and efficiency. This fluid complements the interaction of the door closer's aluminum housing with its steel and zinc components, while maintaining stable viscosity to allow the door closer to perform in temperatures ranging from extremely high to as low as -40°F.

38 U.S. Code § 3713 - Release from liability under guaranty
prev | next
(a) Whenever any veteran disposes of residential property securing a guaranteed, insured, or direct housing loan obtained by the veteran, the Secretary, upon application made by such veteran and by the transferee incident to such disposal, shall issue to such veteran in connection with such disposal a release relieving the veteran of all further liability to the Secretary on account of such loan (including liability for any loss resulting from any default of the transferee or any subsequent purchaser of such property) if the Secretary has determined, after such investigation as the Secretary may deem appropriate, that
(2) the purchaser of such property from such veteran
(A) is obligated by contract to purchase such property and to assume full liability for the repayment of the balance of the loan remaining unpaid, and has assumed by contract all of the obligations of the veteran under the terms of the instruments creating and securing the loan, and
(B) qualifies from a credit standpoint, to the same extent as if the transferee were a veteran eligible for purposes specified in section 3710 of this title, for a guaranteed or insured or direct loan in an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the obligation for which the transferee has assumed liability.
(b) If any veteran disposes of residential property securing a guaranteed, insured, or direct housing loan obtained by the veteran under this chapter without receiving a release from liability with respect to such loan under subsection (a), and a default subsequently occurs which results in liability of the veteran to the Secretary on account of the loan, the Secretary may relieve the veteran of such liability if the Secretary determines, after such investigation as the Secretary deems appropriate, that the property was disposed of by the veteran in such a manner, and subject to such conditions, that the Secretary would have issued the veteran a release from liability under subsection (a) with respect to the loan if the veteran had made application therefor incident to such disposal. Failure of a transferee to assume by contract all of the liabilities of the original veteran-borrower shall bar such release of liability only in cases in which no acceptable transferee, either immediate or remote, is legally liable to the Secretary for the indebtedness of the original veteran-borrower arising from termination of the loan. The failure of a veteran to qualify for release from liability under this subsection does not preclude relief from being granted under section 5302 (b) of this title, if the veteran is eligible for relief under that section.

Debra Dawson of Owenton would like to announce the adoption of her three children — Ashleyann, Andrew and Rhiannon Dawson.
All three children have been part of the Dawson family for almost four years with the adoption completed Aug. 10, 2010.
Welcoming the children into the family were siblings: Danielle Chase of Louisville, Lyndsey Arey of Owenton, Wade Howard of Las Vegas, Nev., Samantha Smith of Owenton, Charles Chase Jr. of Owenton, and Spencer Wilcoxson of Owenton.

The Northern Kentucky Truck Tuggers are hosting a benefit April 9 at the Owen County Fairgrounds in honor of William Tackett, who died in a car accident last year when he was 26 years old, and his son Braydon, who died two months later.
Proceeds from the event will go to help erect tombstones on their graves.
Lisa Stewart, William's mother and Braydon's grandmother, arranged for a nice funeral service and burial for her babies and has only recently been able to pay off those expenses.
Six Owen County teens attended the 2011 4-H District No. 3 Teen Retreat in northern Kentucky. Owen County was one of nine counties represented at the annual retreat where 45 youth were in attendance. At the retreat, the youth attended workshops on creativity and leadership, building relationships, healthy snacks, and stress management. Representing Owen County (from left to right) were Allyson Beverly, Kara Knochelmann, Samantha Perkins, Gracie Roberts, Olivia Karsner, and Claire True.

Most Owen County farmers have an abundance of cedar trees on their land. And, most think that there is absolutely no economic value to the trees, other than holding the world together and providing some wildlife habitat.
Eastern red cedar might be a bit overlooked, despite it being the most widely distributed conifer in the eastern United States. The University of Kentucky Extension Service is providing a workshop, "Got Cedar? Now What?" to outline some management and marketing options.
Controlling certain weeds takes some strategic planning and during mid-March, the game begins. I personally don't care about weeds in the lawn but I do try to keep them out of the landscape beds and the vegetable garden. I also prefer to approach the whole affair with as little chemical input as possible, so I have developed a well-timed strategy of hand-weeding, mulching, using corn gluten as a pre-emergent and a little flame-throwing. I'll explain.
The John Guill Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, held its March meeting at the Owen County Public Library March 2 with guests from the Susannah Hart Shelby Chapter, NSDAR of Frankfort.

Members of the Valentine Court were Cheyenne Coppola, Lilly David, Tori Lykins, Jorden May, Maddie Walker, Cody Anderson, Micah Duvall, Darren Patrick, Logan Wagers, and Dylan Woods.
Did you think about how the spring-cleaning ritual developed? Before the advent of electricity and a host of other modern conveniences, homes were heated with coal, oil and/or wood, and lit by gas or candlelight. Soot and grime were the natural companions of winter. Once spring arrived, the doors were thrown open, and everything—rugs, furniture, cupboards, curtains, and more – was aired out, clean out, swept out, and scrubbed out.

When Katie Ashcraft tripped in a manhole and wrenched her back during a visit to Knoxville last summer she anticipated going out of town to visit doctors and orthopedic specialists in order to regain full use of her leg.
But Ashcraft, of Owenton, soon learned that she could receive all the care and rehabilitation services she needed right here at home.
"I originally injured my back in high school doing gymnastics and cheerleading," Ashcraft explained. "This summer, when I fell into a manhole, I aggravated the old injury and it required physical therapy."

A ban on burning that's been in effect for most of the summer is finally being lifted.
The North Carolina Forest Service says the ban for Beaufort, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Dare, Duplin, Hyde, Jones, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pender, Robeson, Sampson, Tyrrell and Washington counties will be lifted at 5:00 p.m. Monday.
The ban began back on June 22nd for much of Eastern Carolina because of severe drought conditions and two major wildfires burning in the area. But recent rains prompted foresters to lift the ban.
Burning permits are once again being issues for residents of those counties who need to burn on their property.

Santa Trinita, in Florence, sits an art-filled oasis for shoe enthusiasts. On display at the site's subterranean museum is a new multi-platform exhibition, entitled "The Amazing Shoemaker," that explores the myths and psychology behind fairy tales as they relate to footwear. Nine separate rooms divide the cavernous space, which is filled with over 300 pieces, including original works in the form of short films, illustrations, photography, mixed-media installations, and even a comic book. Museum director and curator Stefania Ricci oversaw the realization of this epic project. "We found a lot of new legends and so many examples of books with special illustrations, all related with the shoemaker," she says. "And the big discovery was that the shoemaker was like a philosopher."
Ricci did not have to look far for inspiration, as the story of Ferragamo is legendary in its own right. Growing up the eleventh of fourteen children in an impoverished family, Salvatore was always drawn to the art of shoemaking. He made his first pair of shoes at age seven, for his sister to wear at her first communion. At the age of 14 he went to live with relatives in California, where he continued his trade, eventually becoming the go-to shoemaker for Hollywood's grande dames, including Marilyn Monroe and Carmen Miranda. He returned home to Italy to set up shop in Florence in 1927, a full-fledged success story. The rest, as they say, is history.
What's impressive about this exhibition (on display until March 2014) is its breadth: nearly every instance of fantasy stories in which shoes provide comfort, peace, or freedom is cataloged. "The right shoes are necessary to go beyond obstacles and better yourself," says Sergio Risaliti, who curated with Ricci and Luca Scarlini. With that in mind, the trio set out to "reach the public in any form of expression." From poetry to paintings, mixed-media installations, and films, no stone was left unturned. Among the highlights of artists' reinterpretations of fables: a diptych of Merce Cunningham's dance-worn feet next to an image of ruby-red slippers, by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders; watercolors based on Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Ann Craven; Liliana Moro's Donkey Skin, a piece that invites you inside the hide of a donkey, based on the fable by Charles Perrault; and Jan Švankmajer's interpretation of The Red Shoes. Ricci dedicated an entire room to New York–based artist Frank Espinosa's comic book installation, which illustrates the tale of Signor Ferragamo himself.
Writer and director Mauro Borrelli was so inspired by Ferragamo's early years that he collaborated with friend and Oscar-winning art director Rick Heinrichs to create a short film, White Shoe. Both men are renowned for their work with Tim Burton (Heinrichs took home the golden statuette for his work on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). "I didn't know much about Ferragamo's story at the beginning," says Borrelli.
"Then the bio arrived, and we could have made ten different movies. We extracted the essence, deciding to focus on the first little episode from his earlier life, and we made it a little fictional on that end." The film offers an enchanting vision of a young Salvatore who creates a pair of shoes for a girl, which unlocks his imagination as he dreams up all the places it will take her in life. "I used to work for Francis Ford Coppola, and once he said, 'If you want something to happen, you have to be able to imagine it first. Things don't happen if you don't see. You have to have a vision, and then maybe it happens.' So I thought that was great advice. And I thought that Salvatore probably was able to see something to make it happen."
With this exhibit, Ricci and the Ferragamo family extend that sense of the imagination's power to some of those who are less fortunate: a portion of the proceeds from comic book sales will go to benefit Un Cuore, Un Mondo, a nonprofit that supports children suffering from heart disease in Italy and around the world. From its inspiring visuals to its philanthropic cause, "The Amazing Shoemaker" is a feel-good fashion moment, from head to toe!

Zimbwabwe national women soccer team arrived in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday evening in readiness for their international friendly against their Tanzanian counterparts, Twiga Stars at the national Stadium in Dar es Salaam tomorrow.
A contingent comprising 28 people including 20 players and officials were on board the flight.
The team's head coach Rosemary Mugadza said she is happy to play against Twiga Stars tomorrow.
Zimbabwe is lined up to play against Nigeria in their Women African Championship final qualifier tie later this month.
She said her team is aware and knows the degree of prowess Twiga Stars have ahead of the clash.
As a coach she led Zimbawe to a 4-2 penalty victory over Twiga Stars during a COSAFA championship on July 5 in Harare.
The team also met Twiga at the All Africa Games in Maputo last September and ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw.
Zimbabwe's last friendly was at home against visiting Zambia and posted a 2-1 victory.
Entrance fee for tomorrow's friendly have been set between 1,000/- and 10,000/-.
Twiga like their Zimbabwean counterparts are also gearing up for a crucial AWC qualifier tie against Ethiopia with the first leg to be played in Addis Ababa on May 26.
The AWC will be staged in Equatorial Guinea later in November.

FORT WAYNE, ind. (21 Alive) - Jonathan Hazen's goal with 1:46 gone in overtime gave the Cincinnati Cyclones a 4-3 win over the Komets Sunday night and a three games to two lead in their ECHL Kelly Cup Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series.
It was the third straight game in the series to go to overtime, all of them in Fort Wayne, and the Cyclones won two of those decisions.
Goals by Dean Oeullet and Shawn Szydlowski a minute 25 seconds apart in the second period lifted the K's to a 2-1 lead after forty minutes.
And then after Cincinnati had tied the game early in the third, Kaleigh Schrock appeared to have won it for the Komets with his goal with just under four minutes remaining.
But Cincinnati's Josh Birkholz would tie it just 22 seconds later, sending the game to overtime where Cincinnati prevailed.
Game 6 of the series is Tuesday night in Cincinnati.

The $150-million bond package before voters this November includes $14 million for long overdue repairs and maintenance at the state's National Guard Armories. Maine had close to 30 armories at one time, before selling some of them off to local communities. The 15 that remain are still used heavily by the state's guard units and groups that rent them out for all kinds of functions. But as Jay Field reports, many of them are in pretty rough shape.
One weekend a month, the 262nd Engineer Company's Belfast detachment trains at the local armory. Grass and weeds shoot up through cracks in the asphalt lot where guard members park their civilian vehicles. Part of the red brick complex dates back to the 1920s, when it served as an early transmission station for the Radio Corporation of America.
"When they first report in, they have their unit formations. They have to have an indoor space to do that, especially in the colder months," says Lt. Col. Greg Leimbach.
But that indoor space, Leimbach says, isn't exactly warm and cozy. Leimbach is director of facilities engineers for the Maine Army National Guard. The arching, wooden-beamed ceiling of the Belfast Armory's 8,000-square-foot drill hall has no insulation. The hall has windows with thin panes of glass and chipped, decaying frames.
"This is the old asbestos floor tile," Leimbach says. As long as the tiles stay in place and aren't disturbed, Leimbach says floor doesn't pose a health risk. "But it's not ideal. You can see there are some that are missing, that are broken."
Other state armories have electrical problems, crumbling brick, outdated HVAC systems and old boilers. Some were built in the 1950s. But others, like the one in Belfast, date back even further. Brig. Gen. James Campbell is commissioner of the Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management, and the guard's top-ranking officer.
"Some of them have had some work done," he says. "For example, over the last several years, we've actually sold five state armories and used that money to repair roofs."
The guard estimates it needs to spend a little over $11 million on repairs. By law, upkeep and maintenance is largely the responsibility of the state, which owns the armories. The federal government offers to provide some money as a match to what the state puts up.
But for years, lawmakers in Augusta have passed on funding the armory maintenance. So earlier this year, Campbell and his aides decided to take members of the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee on a little tour.
"We took them to some of these facilities and showed them the condition they were in. And they were shocked," Campbell says.
Committee members shared what they saw with other lawmakers, especially those with armories in their districts, like Rep. Anne-Marie Mastraccio, a Sanford Democrat. "Over the past few years, the state really hasn't lived up to its obligations," she says.
But this year, stories of the dilapidated conditions in Maine's armories seem to have finally penetrated all the noise in Augusta. Back in August, lawmakers and Gov. Paul LePage signed off on a $150-million bond package, which included $14 million for armory repairs and maintenance.
But there's still a hitch: Voters need to give their approval at the polls in November.
"They're certainly worth preserving and saving," says David Googins, the chairman of the Maine Military Historical Society.
At a time of ongoing financial strain for many voters, Googins says the argument for supporting the armories can't just be about the military role they play.
"Well, in the early days, before we really had civic centers and big community places to gather, the armories were the center of the social hub," he says. "A lot of times, they had school dances and community dances at all of the armories."
Events held at Maine armories have expanded a bit over the years. They now include blood drives, craft shows, job fairs, circuses, beer festivals, the Maine's Strongest Man competition, church socials, gun shows and wedding receptions. The National Guard makes roughly $50,000 a year on rentals - a decent sum, but far too little to take care of all of that deferred maintenance.

Swimmer's Itch
Topic Overview
What is swimmer's itch?
Swimmer's itch is a rash caused by an allergic reaction to the larvae of certain parasites. The parasites can get under your skin when you swim in freshwater (such as lakes and ponds) and sometimes salt water. But you can't get swimmer's itch from swimming pools that are treated with chlorine.
The tiny parasites infect birds or mammals and lay eggs. Bird and mammal droppings that contain the eggs get into lakes and ponds. The eggs hatch into larvae, which then infect snails. The snails in turn release the larvae into the water, where the larvae look for a host. If they come in contact with people, the parasites can burrow under the skin. This causes an allergic reaction and a rash.
But the larvae can't survive in humans, so the parasites die. As a result, the rash usually goes away on its own and doesn't need treatment. The rash can't be spread from person to person.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of swimmer's itch include:
- A rash that usually goes away in about a week.
- An itching or burning feeling on your skin.
- Pimples that show up several hours after you were in the water. The pimples may later turn into blisters.
How is swimmer's itch diagnosed?
A doctor can diagnose swimmer's itch by looking at your skin and asking if you've been swimming in ponds or lakes.
How is it treated?
In most cases, swimmer's itch goes away on its own, so you don't need to see a doctor.
To treat the itching at home, you can:
- Put cool wet cloths (compresses) on your skin.
- Use anti-itch creams that you can buy without a prescription in a grocery store or drugstore.
- Put calamine lotion on your skin.
- Try an oatmeal bath:
- Wrap 1 cup of oatmeal in a cotton cloth and boil as you would to cook it. Use this as a sponge and bathe in tepid water without soap.
- You may also try a commercial product, such as Aveeno Colloidal Oatmeal bath.
Try not to scratch the rash. This could lead to an infection.
Call your doctor if you still have a rash after 1 week or if you have signs of infection, such as:
- Increased pain, swelling, warmth, or redness.
- Red streaks leading from the area.
- Pus draining from the area.
- A fever.
Can you prevent swimmer's itch?
To lower your chance of getting swimmer's itch:
- Don't go near lakes or ponds that are known to have outbreaks of swimmer's itch.
- Shower or dry yourself off with a towel as soon as you get out of a lake or pond.
