In February of this year, 101 months after Sept. 11, 2001, Jeff Rische, director of the Seattle branch of the fringe 9/11 "Truther" group: Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, started sending requests to Sen. Maria Cantwell, demanding that a new Senate inquiry be opened into the events of that day. Now the local director can't believe he's not getting his phone calls returned.
Since then, he's besieged Cantwell's office with calls and emails and is at a loss as to why he hasn't heard back. He's now sending info to media outlets everywhere trying to drum up some news (OK, we'll bite).
"I'm very, very, very surprised and shocked that she's so far refusing to to return my calls and emails," says Rische. "I thought that providing information to my Senator would be enough that she would say 'OK, you're right, this is worth looking into.' We first gave this to her in February. What's a reasonable amount of wait time?"
Sen. Cantwell was not immediately available for comment.
The 9/11 Truth movement is certainly nothing new. Their arguments into why the official explanation of what happened on Sept. 11 doesn't add up can be found here and are well-represented by Rische. They are also too numerous to debate on this single blog post.
What seems striking in this case, however, is Rische's surprise that he's not gaining traction with Cantwell. Obviously, if the Senator were to simply say "yes, activist group that's been denounced by nearly everyone in mainstream political and scientific thought--you're right, this whole 9/11 thing is super fishy. I'm going to push for a new investigation," it would be the biggest political news in years. It would also likely cost Cantwell her career.
So the fact that she's not too eager to jump on board with Rische and Co. isn't that surprising.
But such is the road for the passionate, but thus far largely discredited, conspiracy theorist. Until Truthers cease to be thought of as part of the "lunatic fringe" and gain a whole lot more mainstream credibility than they have now, folks like Rische are going to continue to have trouble getting U.S. Senators on the phone.
Just ask Birther Queen Orly Taitz how many Senators call her back--House Reps, maybe. But Senators, not so much.

While the average chess player makes his moves with comparatively little foresight, in the high science of chess, as played by experts, each move for several moves, ahead on both sides, including all the contingencies, is carefully thought out. Success depends on the perfection with which this is done, and the method is illustrated to some extent in a recent article in Everybody's Magazine, where the performances of the champion chess player, Pillsbury, in so-called blindfold chess, are discussed. Blindfold chess playing is playing without seeing the board, and requires an exercise of visual memory that is almost inconceivable. Pillsbury, it is said, has thus played sixteen simultaneous games with expert players, winning twelve, drawing three and losing only one. He was compelled to remember the position of each of the thirty-two chessmen on each of the sixteen boards. The enormity of the mental task may be suggested by the

For the last 8 seasons I've been blessed to play for a team and a city that has embraced me and that I have come to call home. This is a tough business and the only thing constant in life is change.
After talking with (owner) Robert (Sarver) and (president of basketball operations) Lon (Babby) we've agreed that it's time for both of us to move in new directions. I approached them and asked if they would be willing to do a sign and trade deal with L.A. because it is very important to me to stay near my children and family.
They were very apprehensive and didn't want to do it. Fortunately for me, they reconsidered. They saw that they were able to get assets for their team that will make them better, assets they would not have otherwise had and it made sense for them to do a deal that helps their team get better.
I couldn't be more grateful to the organization and Robert in particular. I know how hard this was for him and that fact that he was able to help me and my family in this way ... it means a lot and says a lot about his character. I will never forget this gesture. Above and beyond.
The Phoenix Suns are an amazing organization and fans should be excited about their future. I hope the Suns win a championship some day soon for all the amazing fans and wonderful people in the organization.

School investigates autistic boy's treatmentMarch 04,2013School investigates autistic boy's treatment
BENNINGTON — Two school employees will remain out of the classroom while the Bennington, school district investigates comments captured on an audio recorder secretly placed the backpack of an autistic boy.
Laurie Connell and Clayton Buck were assigned to work with the 8-year-old boy last month, when the boy's aunt attached the recorder to his backpack. According to the Bennington Banner, the recording picked up comments insulting the boy.
Superintendent Catherine McClure says Connell, a paraprofessional, has been placed on administrative leave. She says Clayton Buck is not on leave because he's a substitute paraprofessional, but he won't be called in while the investigation continues.MORE IN This Just In

Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia students performed worse on federal benchmarks than they did last year.
Data released by the state Wednesday show that just 72 percent of schools made "adequate yearly progress" this year, compared to 77 percent last year. The dip was expected after the benchmarks schools had to hit to pass muster were raised this year.
The percentage of elementary and middle schools meeting standards fell, while the number of high schools went up slightly from 40 to 41 percent.
The percentage of schools in "needs improvement" status also increased from 13 percent to 16 percent. A school must miss targets two years in a row to be considered "needs improvement."
Schools that miss benchmarks face sanctions and lose some federal funding.

My 10-month old is an adventurous eater, but would not have anything to do with this. When I tried it myself, I understood why: it's *way* too sour. The other varieties of happy baby simple combos are a better bet, and the happy tots varieties are a big hit with my baby.

This is something everyone should use. I just wish this came in a bigger container!

This salt really gives me energy, I noticed that when I ran out, it works best when you use it raw ( to give you energy that is) but I cook with it also, and its great!
Tastes good

Used when I made soup, tasted good. Also used in my Neti Pot to clear out nasal passages, I'm sure it was better than using regular salt.
Posted by Reviewer2697166 on Dec 02, 2008
I wanted to buy himalayan salt by a company called Real Food. I tried this one instead. The crystals are big and pure white. The other salt that i like a lot was pinkish and the crystals were finer.

Bump 'n' Run: Debating Indy, Smoke and future of Chase (Elliott, that is)
Bump 'n' Run: FOX staffers debate NASCAR's hot topics of the week, which include the importance of the upcoming race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Tony Stewart's return to sprint cars and the future of 18-year-old driver Chase Elliott.
1. So the Sprint Cup Series is off to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. Where does this race rank in terms of importance on the schedule, given the history of the venue and the tradition NASCAR has been able to establish there in a relatively short period of time?
Tom Jensen: If you look at it in terms of history, no question it's No. 2 behind only the Daytona 500. But the tire debacle of 2008 severely damaged attendance and prestige here.
Jay Pennell: The Brickyard 400 is an incredible race, but for me, it's not in the top five of NASCAR races. That's reserved for the Daytona 500, Southern 500, Coca-Cola 600, Bristol night race, and believe it or not, the Richmond night race before the Chase.
Joe Menzer: I say it used to rank a little higher, but seems to have lost a little of its luster in recent years and now is probably fourth on the list. I'd go with, obviously, the Daytona 500 at No. 1, followed by the Coca-Cola 600, the Bristol night race and then Indy.
Pennell: No Darlington?
Menzer: Ah, good one, Jay. I might put it fifth behind the Southern 500 -- but at one point the Brickyard was at least as high as third.
Pennell: The tire debacle definitely hurt the prestige, and not to mention, the attendance of the Brickyard, and I'm just not sure it will ever get back to the "glory days" that it enjoyed the first few years.
Jensen: As high as third? Are you on crack? This is the most important race track in the history of the world.
Pennell: It's the most important open-wheel track in the world. I'd say Daytona and Darlington are the most important to NASCAR. I just think the novelty of stock cars at the Brickyard has worn off. Maybe next year they'll have NASCAR race the road course to kick off the weekend.
Tom Jensen
Follow Tom on Twitter @tomjensen100
Menzer: Easy, now. I just drank a smoothie that someone handed me and I admit I'm not sure what's in it ... but let's be brutally honest, it's a track whose history is mostly steeped in open-wheel racing.
Pennell: I think if you asked the majority of NASCAR fans what they'd rather see, a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway or Indianapolis Raceway Park, the answer would be clear.
Jensen: Indy 500 attendance is coming back. The Brickyard attendance last year looked like an ARCA race.
Menzer: I think it's awesome that NASCAR has been able to sort of build a tradition of its own at Indy, considering it didn't race there until 1994. But again, let's be honest: the racing there isn't always the greatest ... not for stock cars. As for Darlington, I'd definitely rather see the action there than what Indy produces.
Pennell: Not to bash NASCAR here, but their decisions on the schedule pertaining to Darlington and some other places have been questionable for a long time.
Jensen: We're not talking about where the racing is better, we're talking about which track is more important. No comparison there -- and I love going to Darlington.
Pennell: There's no doubt Indianapolis is one of the most important tracks in the world, and it's cool that NASCAR races there. I just don't think it's one of the most prestigous races in the sport.
Jay Pennell
Follow Jay on Twitter @jaywpennell
Menzer: When NASCAR first went to Indy, it was a huge deal. The crowds were enormous. But it was a different time. Once the newness of it wore off and fans realized the racing wasn't always going to be great there for stock cars, coupled with an eventually crippled economy, the Brickyard 400 lost some of its luster. That's all I'm saying.
Jensen: Ask any driver which two races they'd most like to win. Daytona and Indy.
Menzer: I'm not so sure about that, Tom. I do think the Southern 500 is up there on the drivers' list, too, and the Coke 600. And I think winning the night race at Bristol is pretty special to them, too. It might be an interesting poll to take.
Jensen: I stand by my answer. Indy has more history and importance than any other track in the history of motorsports, including Daytona. Drivers know that.
Menzer: There are some drivers with Indiana or open-wheel ties -- such as Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman and Paul Menard -- for whom winning at Indy means more than others.
Pennell: "If you're going to win a race, this is one you want to win. Darlington Raceway is a great place to race and it means a lot to our sport. This was a great win for our team!" That's a direct quote from Kevin Harvick after winning at Darlington this year.
Joe Menzer
Follow Joe on Twitter @OneMenz
Jensen: He said, "... is one you want to win." He did not say it "is THE one you want to win." You guys seriously want to argue that Indy isn't No. 2 on the list?
Menzer: Hey, I thought we just did!
Jensen: Kyle Busch was asked where Indy ranks on the list of prestigious wins in this series. His answer: "It's number two. It's right there. Daytona is one, Indy is two. They're both pretty close. Indy is an important racetrack for a lot of people. The history of that place, it's all been Indy cars. But it's still one of the first big superspeedways in America dating back to the early 1900s. There's a lot there that everyone always wants to win."
And from Dale Earnhardt Jr: "I would never place anything above the Daytona 500. Being that is our biggest event, our marquee event. It's second or third."
Menzer: Well, I do think you can probably find a post-race quote from the winning driver after just about any race where he gushes Harvick did, or where drivers gush and rave about the track they're about to race at. And there will be lots of gushing and raving before and after this latest Brickyard 400.
Pennell: That's true, Joe. But I stand by my reasoning, Tom. I don't think it's in the top five, and if it is, it's fifth on the list.
Jensen: Read the quotes from the drivers, Jay. They say something far different.
Pennell: Touche'.
2. Tony Stewart certainly made a dramatic and triumphant return to sprint-car racing last weekend after suffering a gruesome broken-leg injury in a sprint-car event last August. Should he be doing this on the side in the middle of a NASCAR season?
Jensen: The rational answer is probably no. But Tony doesn't fit the typical mold. Tony does what Tony wants to do and what Tony wants to do is race as much as possible.
Pennell: Absolutely. Jimmie Johnson rides his bike, Kasey Kahne runs 5Ks, Tony Stewart races sprint cars. I think not being in a sprint car has hurt his NASCAR season to date. Sure, he has to heal, but I think racing on the short tracks is somewhat therapeutic for Smoke.
Menzer: I know Tony himself and many of his fans are going to bash me for this, but I've said it before and I'll say it again. If he wasn't the co-owner of the Stewart-Haas Racing organization that fields his sprint cars, he wouldn't be doing it. There isn't another owner who would allow him to get back in a sprint car and risk another injury that could jeopardize another NASCAR Sprint Cup season and all that is at stake with it.
Jensen: The team has made big advancements in the safety of the cars and made some safer choices about where he'll race.
Menzer: Hold on. Wait a minute. Jimmie rides his bike? Kasey runs 5ks? What's that got to do with THIS?
Pennell: They have their "hobbies" and Stewart has his.
Menzer: I'd say his is quite a bit more risky than theirs!
Pennell: Earlier this year in Daytona Landon Cassill was hit by a car riding his bike. You could pull muscles running. There's a potential for injury in everything.
I also think racing sprint cars goes a long way for Stewart's confidence. Winning his first race back in a sprint car? I wouldn't be surprised if he got his first NASCAR win of the season this weekend at Indy.
Menzer: Here's my larger point: last year Smoke got hurt and missed what, one-third of the season? As a result, his No. 14 team missed the Chase. I'm sure there were those back at the shop who missed out on bonuses related to that. Furthermore, how long do you think a major sponsor pumping millions into his race team will tolerate him getting injured while doing his "hobby" and missing one-third of a season and the Chase?
Jensen: There's another thing to note: Tony has struggled in his Cup car since his return from injury. He said running well in the sprint car means the problem isn't him.
Menzer: Yeah, Jay. You can pull muscles running. You aren't likely to get a double-compound leg fracture that sidelines you for nine months, though.
And I see what you're saying, Tom. And I've heard Stewart allude to that. But that's sort of a self-serving, selfish comment to make -- and I'm still not sure how that or his running sprint cars does anything more than help his own ego.
Pennell: Like Tom said, Tony's going to do what Tony wants to do. Plus, I think it helps him on the NASCAR side of things. If he can convince Greg Zipadelli he's good to go, then I'm OK with him racing.
And I'm not sure it's his ego, Joe. I think it's confidence and his overall demeanor. If he's doing what he likes, having fun in sprint cars and winning, that will translate over to the NASCAR side of things.
Jensen: With competition so close, he could have been off a little, and being off a little is the difference between winning and not winning.
Menzer: No one in their right mind ever thought Tony Stewart has forgotten how to drive. But the bottom line for me: I say Tony can do this all he wants when he retires from Sprint Cup racing. That's what just about any other owner would be telling him, if he wasn't his own boss.
Jensen: That's like saying I'd be skinny if I wasn't fat. Tony IS his own boss and as long as his sponsors are cool with it, have at it.
Menzer: I also think Tony will -- and was going to anyway -- win a couple of races before this Sprint Cup season was over. I'm sure everyone will then say it was because he made a return to sprint cars, and probably there is something to that. I still say it's too risky.
Pennell: I couldn't agree more with Tom on this one. What's life without a little risk, Joe?!
3. Chase Elliott won his third Nationwide Series race of the season last Saturday at Chicagoland Speedway. Just how good is this 18-year-old kid?
Jensen: Really, really freaking good. Scary good.
Menzer: Finally, we agree on something!
Pennell: It's been pretty amazing to watch Chase this year. We all know how successful his father was, it will be great to see how far he really goes in the sport.
Jensen: You agree with me? Just shows you're wising up, Menzer.
Pennell: I also think it helps he's in excellent equipment and has been groomed by Hendrick Motorsports for the past few years.
Menzer: Obviously we've got a superstar in the making here -- meaning Chase and not either of you two misguided clowns. Let me turn the question a bit, though, to make it more difficult. Who do you like more at this stage of their careers: Chase or Kyle Larson?
They put on quite a show for much of that race last Saturday night in Chicago ... well, actually Joliet, which is nowhere near Chicago, really.
Pennell: I think that's a battle we'll be seeing for years to come in NASCAR, and quite frankly it will be great for the sport. The thing that has impressed me more than anything is the respect he has garnered from the veteran drivers in the garage.
Jensen: Chase is 18. He sounds like he's 35 in interviews, which is remarkable. Although I think these young guns need to quit being so gosh darned polite.
Menzer: Very mature. Nice kid. Wise beyond his years. Reminds me of when I was ... ah, never mind.
Jensen: C'mon, Chase, give Kyle Larson a wedgie, or put an open can or sardines under Ryan Blaney's seat before a race.
Menzer: So who do y'all like more right now, Chase Elliott or Kyle Larson? It's a tough call. Maybe too tough, like splitting hairs.
Pennell: I think I'd have to go with Chase. He seems to go about things more methodically. I think Larson hangs it out there a bit too much sometimes, and pays for it. It will be interesting to see once they are both in Sprint Cup equipment.
Meanwhile, Chase could just make fun of him for that new toilet paper commercial Larson did ... And the other thing I like about both these guys is that they're not all about self-promotion. There are other young drivers in the sport -- who I won't name -- who are all about themselves and getting their name/face out there. Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson let their skills on the track do all the talking. That's impressive and will take them a long way.
Menzer: The thing I will say about Larson that you can't yet say about Chase is that he's looking pretty darn good at the Cup level already. Now I'm pretty certain that what Chase is doing in Nationwide will translate to Cup, but you never know for absolute certainty how a guy is going to do at the highest level until he gets there. So while it's close, I think I might give a slight edge to Larson. But not by much, that's for sure.
Jensen: I put Larson ahead right now ONLY because he's a little older and racing in Sprint Cup right now, gaining valuable experience.
Menzer: Does that mean we have to put you ahead of us right now in terms of Bump-n-Run smack talk, because you're a little older than us?
Pennell: Man, if that's the case, I'm ranking about as low as I rank the Brickyard 400!
Jensen: Yes. Plus, I have great hair.
Pennell: There's no doubt about that, Tom. You're winning in the hair department.
Menzer: I'll take second ... for now.

William BACKGROUND: Predicting risk of adverse healthcare outcomes, among community dwelling older adults, is difficult. The Risk Instrument for Screening in the Community (RISC) is a short (2-5 min), global subjective assessment of risk created to identify patients' 1-year risk of three outcomes: institutionalisation, hospitalisation and death. METHODS: We compared the accuracy and predictive ability of the RISC, scored by Public Health Nurses (PHN), to the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in a prospective cohort study of community dwelling older adults (n = 803), in two Irish PHN sectors. The area under the curve (AUC), from receiver operating characteristic curves and binary logistic regression models, with odds ratios (OR), compared the discriminatory characteristics of the RISC and CFS. RESULTS: Follow-up data were available for 801 patients. The 1-year incidence of institutionalisation, hospitalisation and death were 10.2, 17.7 and 15.6 % respectively. Patients scored maximum-risk (RISC score 3,4 or 5/5) at baseline had a significantly greater rate of institutionalisation (31.3 and 7.1 %, p < 0.001), hospitalisation (25.4 and 13.2 %, p < 0.001) and death (33.5 and 10.8 %, p < 0.001), than those scored minimum-risk (score 1 or 2/5). The RISC had comparable accuracy for 1-year risk of institutionalisation (AUC of 0.70 versus 0.63), hospitalisation (AUC 0.61 versus 0.55), and death (AUC 0.70 versus 0.67), to the CFS. The RISC significantly added to the predictive accuracy of the regression model for institutionalisation (OR 1.43, p = 0.01), hospitalisation (OR 1.28, p = 0.01), and death (OR 1.58, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Follow-up outcomes matched well with baseline risk. The RISC, a short global subjective assessment, demonstrated satisfactory validity compared with the CFS. 2015-07-30T00:00:00Z Perceptions, expectations, and informal supports influence exercise activity in frail older adults Broderick, Louise McCullagh, Ruth Bantry White, Eleanor Savage, Eileen Timmons, Suzanne http://hdl.handle.net/10468/1947 2015-08-25T14:03:58Z 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z Perceptions, expectations, and informal supports influence exercise activity in frail older adults Broderick, Louise; McCullagh, Ruth; Bantry White, Eleanor; Savage, Eileen; Timmons, Suzanne This study aims to explore frail older adults' perceptions of what influences their exercise behaviors. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 29 frail older adults. Thematic content analysis established the findings. Frail older adults perceive exercise as a by-product of other purposeful activities such as manual work or social activities. Progression into frailty appears to be associated with a decline in non-family support, changing traditional roles within family support networks, and lower baseline activity levels. Frail older adults perceive exercise as incidental to more purposeful activities rather than an endpoint in itself. Therefore, exercise programs concentrating on functional outcomes may be more relevant for this population. Strategies that educate and promote social support networks may also benefit frail older adults. 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z Self-neglect: a case study and implications for clinical practice Day, Mary Rose Mulcahy, Helen Leahy-Warren, Patricia Downey, Johanna http://hdl.handle.net/10468/1997 2015-10-01T16:23:57Z 2015-03-01T00:00:00Z Self-neglect: a case study and implications for clinical practice Day, Mary Rose; Mulcahy, Helen; Leahy-Warren, Patricia; Downey, Johanna Self-neglect is a worldwide and serious public health issue that can have serious adverse outcomes and is more common in older people. Cases can vary in presentation but typically present as poor self-care, poor care of the environment and service refusal. Community nurses frequently encounter self-neglect cases and health and social care professionals play a key role in the identification, management and prevention of self-neglect. Self-neglect cases can give rise to ethical, personal and professional challenges. The aim of this article is to create a greater understanding of the concept of self-neglect among community nurses. 2015-03-01T00:00:00Z Physical function, psychosocial adaptation, and hardiness post stroke Hartigan, Irene http://hdl.handle.net/10468/1950 2015-08-28T15:23:30Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Physical function, psychosocial adaptation, and hardiness post stroke Hartigan, Irene Introduction: Stroke is a chronic condition that significantly impacts on morbidity and mortality (Balanda et al. 2010). Globally, the complexity of stroke is well documented and more recently, in Ireland, as part of the National Survey of Stroke Survivors (Horgan et al. 2014). There are a number of factors that are known to influence adaptation post stroke. However, there is a lack of research to explain the variability in how survivors adapt post stroke. Hardiness is a broad personality trait that leads to better outcome. This study investigated the influence of hardiness and physical function on psychosocial adaptation post stroke. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory study was conducted between April and November 2013. The sample consisted of stroke survivors (n=100) who were recruited from three hospital outpatient departments and completed a questionnaire package. Results: The mean age of participants was 76 years (range 70-80), over half (56%) of the participants achieved the maximum score of 20 on the Barthel Index indicating independence in activities of daily living. The median number of days since stroke onset was 91 days (range 74-128). The total mean score and standard deviation for hardiness was 1.89 (0.4) as measured by the Dispositional Resilience Scale, indicating medium hardiness (possible range 0-3). Psychosocial adaptation was measured using the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, the total weighted mean and standard deviation was 0.54 (0.3) indicating a satisfactory level of psychosocial adaptation (possible range 0-3). A hierarchical multiple linear regression was performed which contained 6 independent variables (hardiness, living arrangement, and length of hospital stay, number of days since stroke onset, physical function and self-rated recovery). Findings demonstrated that physical function (p<0.001) and hardiness (p=0.008) were significantly related to psychosocial adaptation. Altogether, 65% of the variation in psychosocial adaptation can be explained by the combined effect of the independent variables. Physical functioning had the highest unique contribution (11%) to explain the variance in psychosocial adaptation while self-rated recovery, hardiness, and living arrangements contributed 3% each. Conclusion: This research provides important information regarding factors that influence psychosocial adaptation post stroke at 3 months. Physical function significantly contributed to psychosocial adaptation post stroke. The personality trait of hardiness provides insight into how behaviour influenced adaptation post stroke. While hardiness also had a strong relationship with psychosocial adaptation, further research is necessary to fully comprehend this process. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

The German Freikorps 1918-23
The German Freikorps 1918-23
Osprey Publishing, Paperback, 9781841761848, 64pp.
Publication Date: September 25, 2001
Osprey's examination of German troops in the post-World War I (1914-1918) period. The troops returning home to Germany after the 1918 Armistice found their country riven by internal unrest, and its eastern borders threatened. Though reluctant to support the new Republic, the many Free Corps formed by ex-Imperial soldiers fought furiously against Communist revolutionaries at home and Polish and Bolshevik Russian pressure on the frontiers. Later providing much of the manpower for the new Reichswehr, the Free Corps would have strong links with the nascent Nazi Party. This concise account of a little-known but central episode in the history of 20th century Germany is illustrated with rare photographs, and ten colour plates showing unprecedented details of uniforms and insignia.
Carlos Caballero Jurado was born in Ciudad Real, Spain, in 1957. He served as an NCO in the Spanish Army's Division Brunete (1st Armoured Division); and later graduated with a BA in History from the University of Alicante. He has written and co-written four Osprey titles; he is also the author of fourteen other books and numerous articles on military historical subjects, and his work has been translated into English and German.

In the first of two matchups this weekend between the No. 2 Boston University men's hockey team and No. 20 University of Maine, it got a bit darker than normal – literally during the second period at Agganis Arena and figuratively in terms of the host team's win streak.
Following a 21-minute delay in the second period due to several Agganis Arena lights losing power, the Black Bears (13-8-3, 10-7-2 Hockey East) ended up with a 4-2 win, their third straight, ending what was a five-game win streak for the Terriers (15-7-1, 12-5-1 Hockey East).
The first period was a quick one, as the two most highly penalized teams in Hockey East almost managed to stay out of the box for the entire period. That streak ended at 16:52 into the frame when Maine defenseman Will O'Neill, one of two Black Bear captains, put a late hit on freshman defenseman Alexx Privitera, who injured his wrist on the play.
Privitera stayed on the ice while a team trainer tended to him, and soon skated off under his on power, albeit still holding his right wrist. He did not return to the game, and BU coach Jack Parker said he "may have a broken wrist."
The Terriers didn't take long to capitalize on the resulting power play. Junior assistant captain Alex Chiasson banged a one-timer by Maine goaltender Dan Sullivan for a 1-0 BU lead at 17:56, the result of a junior forward Wade Megan pass from behind the red line. Senior captain Chris Connolly was credited with the second assist, extending his point streak to six games.
The goal helped the Terriers to a 7-for-10 showing on the man-advantage in what was then their last four periods of play. That power-play chance, however, was the only chance they would get the entire game. The Black Bears, who are second behind BU as the most penalized team in the nation, did not have to play a man down the rest of the way.
Maine struck back on the power play following a hooking call on freshman forward Evan Rodrigues shortly into the second period. With just seconds left on the power play, Maine forward Adam Shemansky took advantage of a Max Nicastro miscue – a pass that didn't make it out of BU's defensive zone – to tie the game at one apiece 5:15 into the second.
Several minutes later, at 8:22, the Black Bears took the lead when forward John Parker – no relation to the BU bench boss – beat the Terrier defense and senior goaltender Kieran Millan stick-side to help Maine to a 2-1 lead.
Right after the goal, several lights in the arena went out and apparently took Maine's momentum with them. The teams returned to the ice following a 21-minute delay, and an pparently rejuvenated BU came right back to make it a 2-2 tie. Following a strong effort to keep the puck in BU's offensive end, junior forward Ross Gaudet took a shot from behind the red line, bouncing it off Sullivan's back and into the goal at 12:38.
"[Junior forward Ben Rosen] made a nice pass to [junior forward Ryan Santana] and [Santana] shot the puck," Gaudet said. "The rebound bounced in towards the corner where I was standing below the goal line, and their goalie was out pretty far, so I had a pretty good angle just to bank it right off the side of his body."
Maine re-took the lead for good 10:08 into the third thanks to a goal from forward Mark Anthoine. The tally came 12 seconds after Megan was called for hooking, giving the Black Bears' league-best power play (29.7 percent entering the game) another chance. The call seemed to anger both Megan, who protested all the way to the box, and Parker, who spent some time yelling his thoughts about it into the referee's ear after the call and goal.
"The only thing that counts is what the referee thinks," Parker said of that call after the game.
Down a goal with 2:09 left in the game, Parker pulled Millan in favor of an extra attacker, but it didn't pay off. Maine forward Spencer Abbott, Hockey East's leading scorer (13 goals, 27 assists), extended his team's lead to 4-2 with an empty-netter at 18:26.
"They just played harder than we did today," Gaudet said. "We didn't play as hard as we needed to play. They're one of the hottest teams in the country for a reason, and we didn't bring the level of intensity that we needed to compete with them tonight.
"We weren't physical enough; we didn't win enough battles. In the end it showed."

On Megan's "penalty" that led to a power play and Maine's game-winning goal: there was no penalty. The referee made a poor technical mistake. He anticipated that there was going to be a penalty, so he called a penalty.ReplyDelete
There was no hook, nor was there anything that could have been called slashing, as Megan trailed the puck carrier on a 2-on-1 break.
In that situation, there is often stick work to hinder the puck carrier/shooter that is enough to result in a penalty.
Not in this case.
It should have been a 2-2 game, and gone to overtime ... when no one knows what might have happened.

Please stop crying about penalties. It makes all of us BU fans look like whiny crybabies.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 28, 2012 at 11:32 AM
No question that was a bad call by the ref. They let almost everything go all night. Maine played with a edge all night and to only get two penalties proves the refs let things go but when you only score two goals you leave yourself open to the refs controlling the out come.ReplyDelete

Anonymous #2: stop crying about the criticism of referees. As a referee myself, that was a very valid point that the referee anticipated a penalty so he called it. There was no penalty. Maine should not have had that power play.ReplyDelete
That is a constructive criticism, not whining.

Why does Parker whine so much about penalties? It would be nice if he stopped embarrassing the school and showed some class for once.ReplyDelete

First, Parker did no Whine and he has far more class than you will ever have. Secondly, I'm thinking you cannot be from BU.

Confronting and Dealing With
Academic Dishonesty
This chapter discusses the unpleasant process of confronting and dealing with instances of academic dishonesty. We offer suggestions for handling academic dishonesty when it is first detected (e.g., while proctoring an exam), discuss the issues involved in resolving cases of suspected and actual dishonesty, and comment on appropriate sanctions and punishments for academic dishonesty.
Because confronting students suspected of student dishonesty is among the most onerous features of the teaching profession (Keith-Spiegel et al., 1998), it may be extremely tempting to justify inaction when suspicions are aroused. Besides viewing cheating as "a positive form of collaborative learning" (as presented in chapt. l), Box 5.1 provides examples of other possible rationalizations for turning one's eyes away.
It is true that some administrators may be so unsupportive that they cause faculty members to think twice before getting involved in a doubly noxious situation: They must deal with not only a student they suspect of cheating, but also with an indifferent or obstructive administrator. It is also true that some students will reap unfortunate consequences for unethical actions in the future. Of course, dealing with cheating does take some time and mustering of courage. Furthermore, we know that all human beings have frailties. However, as noted in chapter 1, ignoring academic incidents altogether contributes to larger problems for students, our institutions, society, and even for ourselves. Dealing with cheating in a devious manner, such as is illustrated in Box 5.2, does not solve the dilemma either.

I will admit...I "had" a Toy...that was to simulate a BJ....and I'm telling you...no woman could Match this!!! No its not the Same....but in a Pinch.....it worked Very Well!!!
Have we used the Toys...To much? I mean..Ladies....if you use a Dildo...that is "Large"....for months on end..and then take on an Average Dick......Isn't that Asking for a Large Let Down?
I noticed in
This blog
that Some of the Women...Stated that they Only wanted larger Cocks!!!
Have we let the Toys...Fuck us? Have They "Raised the Bar"..so High that No Person can reach it?
(without using Toys!)

the whole world is becoming fucked up
I often wondered about women who always wanted men with large , or larger cocks, at the end of the day, isn't it saying something about the size of them .
* ducks and runs for cover zig zagging through the blogs while the ladies arrange the posse and keep reloading
May 15 @ 8:13AM
ok, everyone knows that i bitch about not having sex all the time, so yes, i have toys....i dont care much for dildos, but like a small vibe.
but with a toy, its only the destination, when makiing love with a man, it's the journey that provides pleasure.
May 15 @ 8:44AM
Does Toys...Make it Harder for us to Please our Partners?
Great question. I'll be checking back in to see what the ladies have to say.
May 15 @ 9:03AM
For me, no. Masturbation and playing with toys for me is only a tension reliever and will never ever be the same as having sex with an actual person, especially if you love the person you are having sex with.
May 15 @ 9:07AM
If the toy is bigger than me why should I be jealous or mad ..... Hell it's cutting me some slack....
May 15 @ 9:13AM
I see ur point but me? I'm willing to wrk with a raised bar n love a challenge ;)
May 15 @ 9:38AM
No, I don't think toys make it harder to satisfy our partner. If used correctly it can enhance a sexual experience. However, personally, I decided not to use a jack rabbit all of the time because the clit part of the vibrator was over-stimulating. I quit using it because I didn't want that to develop into a potential problem. I also have a medium size dildo and a 10" one. When I'm alone the medium is my "go to" toy, but sometimes when I'm really horny only the "big boy" will do!
Women have a responsibility for at least part of their own sexual enjoyment. Learning how to exercise and use our kegel muscles can keep a pussy tight even when using a large dildo repeatedly and men love it when they can feel their cock being tightly squeezed during sex.
May 15 @ 11:14AM
Well, you all know I love my toys and I'm bluntly honest about it with any partner, so they have to love them too. I couldn't be with someone intimidated by them.
May 15 @ 2:53PM
I can tell you that overuse of vibrators can desensitize us somewhat.. but no.. my toys are my toys.. and my lovers are real! I'd rather have real any day.
May 15 @ 3:01PM
I just want a real cock that vibrates and then I will leave the toys alone. Maybe there is an implant made specially for that....hmmmm...anyone willin to give a try???
May 15 @ 5:18PM
Have we let the Toys...Fuck us?
Thanks for the laugh OHT.
Now...to answer the blog question.
I was actually just looking at "toys" today and was amazed at the "large" selection of women toys. Good gosh...I would be scared to use half the toys I looked at today because the length and the girth were so large.
I'm an average size gal...and I quite like an average size guy...especially if he knows how to use his equipment.
For me...I only like toys on occasion...and then I only use something to relieve the tension until I can have the real thing. The real thing IMO is soooooooo much better than a toy.
May 15 @ 5:45PM
Thanks Everyone for your 2 cents!!!
I myself learned that the toy I had..was so Awesome...that when I Got the the real thing...(BJ..from my Last GF)..that I was Like Bunny...I wanted the "Vibe's" to Start up...and finish the Deal!!! But it never happened!! WTF?
So my toy got Trashed..because...I wanted to enjoy the real thing..to the Fullest!!!
As Rare as that may be!!!!
Sunshine...You Said it all...but Not in the way you wanted too!!!
See....you are implying that...You have to have Toys!!!
Am I Right?
Yeah my 2 cents are that We Are Fucking Ourselves!!!
Do it by hand...and leave the Good shit for your Partner!!! Make him or her use the toy on ya!!
Well.... that's just my Take on all that!!!!
Thanks Again!!!! Yall are the Greatest!!!
May 15 @ 6:27PM
For me, no. Masturbation and playing with toys for me is only a tension reliever and will never ever be the same as having sex with an actual person, especially if you love the person you are having sex with
Exactly what I was going to say.
May 15 @ 6:46PM
There is a cock ring that has a little bullet type vibrator on it that drives me and whoever I use it on crazy
Feels great for both.
Sep 19 @ 9:46PM
toys are great when used with your partner. they are a great enhancement tool. but they can be very impersonal to say the least. there is no replacemen t for the real thing

Last October, the Office of Management and Budget issued new guidance for agencies on acquisition and the acquisition workforce.
The Acquisition Workforce Development Strategic Plan outlines what agencies should be doing over the next five years to make sure the federal acquisition workforce grows properly.
The Government Accountability Office recently wrote a report about how OMB's plan is working, and found that changes are still needed in the acquisition workforce.

Second mobile home fire off River RoadPublished 8:46pm Tuesday, January 8, 2013
A mobile home went up in flames off River Road Tuesday night, the second in as many days.
Bunyan Volunteer Fire Department, Broad Creek EMS and Chocowinity VFD, responded to the emergency call shortly after 7 p.m., but the mobile home was fully involved before they arrived.
There was nothing suspicious about the fire, according to Assistant Chief Daniel Adams, Bunyan VFD. It started in the kitchen.
Jim Cox was making dinner when he stepped outside of his home and forgot about the meat he was cooking on the stove, according to his sister-in-law, Linda Cox.
A visibly distraught Jim Cox paced on the road nearby as firefighters searched for hot spots in the remains of his home. Outside of the basic structure, most of the trailer had burned.
"He's okay, but he lost his little dog, I think," Linda Cox said.
Linda and husband Holman Cox own Edgewater Mobile Home Park. She said Jim Cox had been a permanent resident there for five years — on and off for about 20 years — and that in the forty years she and her husband have owned the park, they've never had a fire in one of the mobile homes.
This comes the evening after another mobile home off River Road burned. Monday's fire was also a complete loss, as flames took down a vacant trailer in Mimosa Mobile Home Park in less than half an hour.
Adams had said those who live in mobile homes should always have smoke detectors.
"As soon as they sound — get out," he advised.

A new study says that people reading books on the Kindle read slower than they do with old-fashioned print. (Oh the humanity!) Participants in Jakob Nielsen's study read an Ernest Hemingway short story and found that reading speed decreased by 10 percent on Amazon's tablet.

I have a yeast allergy so cannot have too much sugar or subsitutes, I have just received my delivery. I ordered this product, plus some flavoured drops. I have sweetened my morning coffee and I must say, I have used so little of the packet. I have been using plain stevia in my porridge daily and wanted some extra kick. Tomorrow is the day. I tried to buy flavoured stevia locally Melb Aust, but it just is not stocked, in fact plain stevia isn't widely stocked either, thank you for your quick service 5 days and your far more affordable prices and your variety. Hope to shop again. Cheers
This is good in fat free, sugar free Yogurt, and Cottage cheese.

I buy fat free, and this added to dairy, with fruit is so good. I don't need or want sugar or artificial sweeteners, and regular stevia is just not a good flavor to my taste buds. I feel less deprived, less on a healthy diet and very full of healthy protein and fresh berries with this in my fat free dairy. I use it every day.

New Zealand shares rose, led by network company Chorus after the government pushed back draft plans to regulate its prices pending a wider review. Summerset Group rose to a new record on optimism about returns from retirement villages.
The NZX 50 Index gained 30.48 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4225.72. Within the index, 26 stocks rose, 17 fell and seven were unchanged. Turnover was a higher than average $195 million, with increased trading in Chorus and SkyCity Entertainment Group.
Chorus, the network company spun off from Telecom in 2011, jumped 10 percent to $3.15, regaining about half its losses when the Commerce Commission made a draft recommendation on cutting its prices in early December. Telecom gained about 2 percent to $2.35.
"For Chorus, even though we still don't know the outcome it gives the market confidence the uncertainty will disappear," says Greg Easton, an adviser at Craigs Investment Partners. "There's confidence there is still an investment case for Chorus and the whole sector."
Summerset Group, the retirement village operator that listed in late 2011, rose 3.6 percent to $2.57 – up from its initial public offering price of $1.40.
"People are buying into the story that they want Ryman-type returns," Mr Easton says. Rival resthome operator Ryman's shares have almost doubled in the past two years. It slipped 0.7 percent to $4.55 today.
SkyCity, the hotel and casino group, rose 1.5 percent to $4.09. The company is due to post its interim results next week and analysts are expecting a strong result, as they are with auction site Trade Me, up 2.2 percent to $4.28 today.
"We're expecting good results from them and analysts are picking them to deliver," Mr Easton says. "They'll get hammered if they don't deliver."
The NZX announced after the close of trading today that Trade Me will join the NZX 10 Index effective February 18, replacing Sky Network Television whose index weighting is lowered because of News Corp's 44 percent cornerstone shareholding. The pay-TV company rose 0.2 percent to $5.18.
Retailers were mixed. Warehouse Group gained 1.5 percent to $3.34 and Pumpkin Patch rose 1.5 percent to $1.35. Clothing chain Hallenstein Glasson Holdings fell 1.1 percent to $5.22 and outdoor equipment retailer Kathmandu declined 0.5 percent to $2.23.
Skellerup, which makes rubber goods and milking equipment, fell 1.2 percent to $1.65 and was the biggest decliner on the benchmark index.
Air New Zealand slipped 0.8 percent to $1.26. The airline is a major customer of Wellington International Airport, which the Commerce Commission said was extracting excessive profit. The airport disputes the regulator's view.
Infratil, which owns a half stake of the airport, declined 0.8 percent to $2.41.
Fletcher Building, the biggest company on the NZX 50, rose 0.7 percent to $8.96 and was the most heavily traded stock by value.

One truth stands out when the greatest players from the first 50 years of the Miami Dolphins line up:
The best days of the storied franchise were a while ago.
The Dolphins paid tribute to the players who forged the legacy of the first half century by honoring the 50 greatest during halftime of Monday night's game against the Giants at Sun Life Stadium. The group included 18 members of the 1972 Dolphins who achieved the only perfect season in NFL history.

School in a Box
School in a Box (SIAB) is a community digital engagement project developed by the Institute of Art Design and Technology (IADT), Dun Laoghaire, Ireland (www.iadt.ie). IADT has over a decade of experience working with Irish teachers in supporting and facilitating the use of film and digital technologies to enhance learning in the classroom (www.fis.ie), and hosts the National Film School in Ireland.
SIAB is a mobile solar powered digital education solution suitable for any learning environment in remote locations without access to electricity. It is a flexible and inclusive solution that can be used, for example, in primary or secondary schools, outdoor schools, field farm schools or other vocational training environments, community clinics, adult literacy or community learning. The ethos of School in a Box is in community engagement and capacity building, working with a Design Driven Innovation (Verganti, 2009) approach to providing a solution for the needs of end users; from primary school teachers and students high in the Himalayas, to young mothers or illiterate farmers in remote villages in Mozambique, to teachers in over-crowded low resource classrooms.
