Wednesday night bright light snowfall to the Denver area but the fast moving system is already moving out. In its wake Thursday brings windy conditions and cool temperatures.
The snow fell quickly and somewhat furiously last night but only for a very short period of time. Most locations in town received about a half inch, just enough to cover the grass.
Today we will have partly to mostly sunny skies above. Temperatures are going to remain cooler than normal with highs in the low to mid-40s.
The real weather story today is going to be the wind which will be building through the morning hours. Gusts to 45 mph will be possible in town with higher readings to our east and west.
The mountains and foothills will be under a High Wind Warning tonight; the base of the foothills under a High Wind Watch.
- Severe weather: Interactive watch and warning map
Friday will be bring warmer temperatures but the wind is going to persist. Highs in Denver look to be in the low 50s but with gusts to 35 mph.
For the weekend it will be cooler with highs near normal. Saturday and Sunday's temperatures will top out in the mid-40s with a slight chance for some light snow Saturday night. Winds should be calmer over the period.

Allow for sharing lists
I cannot find a way to share a list with a group, other than adding the permalink to the list into a topic in the group. Seems kind of weird not to allow sharing of lists.
In general I feel like the lists could get some more development and usability luv. I feel they're a great feature. I've already shared one on twitter and shared some with collegues via email...

Reader's Choice Best PvP: EVE Online, CCP Games
We did not originally nominate them, but the fans wrote to us en masse and thus EVE Online went up for it in a special one-week run off. This vote demonstrated we were clearly mistaken with our original nominees as EVE Online nailed down 55% of the total vote in a three-game category.
What else is there to say about EVE? They've already picked up three awards, and they were only originally nominated for two of the categories we've handed out so far. Fans of the game cite massive armada battles, pirate-hunting and the game's fluid PvP-zone system as the reasons it is a cut above the rest.
Guild Wars and Dark Age of Camelot emerged from the original category, which also included City of Heroes / Villains, Lineage II and Shadowbane. The latter three did not garner enough votes to continue on, while DAoC and Guild Wars both tied at 22% in the finals.
One other category went to a run-off. Find out who you thought had the best story!

A "DWTS" cast leak for season 19 has fans of the reality series buzzing about the upcoming season on the Internet. ABC planned a big reveal for this season's cast for "Good Morning America" on Thursday morning, but the full cast leaked online on Tuesday. Some of the celebrities included on the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" had been rumored already, and this new cast leak confirmed those rumors. The Christian Post shared the latest cast leak on Sept. 2.
"Dancing with the Stars" is getting ready for some big changes this season. Not only will they have a new cast of celebrities competing for the mirror ball trophy by showing off their skills on the dance floor, but also this season has a four-judge panel. Julianne Hough is returning to the series for season 19, but she will not be on the dance floor. She is joining Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman, and Carrie Ann Inaba on the panel of judges this season. This has caused some buzz on the Internet, and not everyone is happy about the addition to the judging panel.
Karina Smirnoff spoke out about Julianne's appointment to the judging panel. Julianne's brother, Derek Hough, is dancing again this year, and Smirnoff wondered about the ethics behind Julianne's judging her own brother. She said the following, according to Us Weekly:
"I think she is a great girl, I've known her for many years. I think that she is wonderful, gorgeous, and talented, but I don't know if it's ethical that she is judging while her brother is competing."
Derek did not seem to be bothered by his sister's addition to the judging panel. Julianne revealed to People Magazine that he texted to congratulate her on the new gig as soon as he heard it was official. She also revealed that he is not nervous at all about being judged by his younger sister this season. It is "all in good fun."
Derek is dancing this season, and the new "Dancing with the Stars" cast leak revealed that he would be partnered with Bethany Mota. Her claim to fame is as a YouTube star. The rest of this season's cast and their partners are as follows:
Olympian Lolo Jones; partnered with Keo Motsepe, Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong; partnered with Peta Murgatroyd, "Duck Dynasty" star Sadie Robertson; partnered with Mark Ballas, actor Antonio Sabato Jr.; partnered with Cheryl Burke, actor Jonathan Bennett; partnered with Allison Holker, MMA Champion Randy Couture; partnered with Karina Smirnoff, "Pretty Little Liars" star Janel Parrish; partnered with Val Chmerkoskiy, "Fresh prince of Bel-Air" star Alfonso Ribiero; partnered with Witney Carson, designer Betsey Johnson; partnered with Tony Dovolani, race car driver Michael Waltrip; partnered with Emma Slater, Tavis Smiley ; partnered with Sharna Burgess, and actress Lea Thompson; partnered with Artem Chigvintsev.
This cast list does reveal the partnerships for the three new professional dancers joining this season. Allison Holker first received national attention for her dancing skills when she appeared on season two of "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox. She is now joining "Dancing with the Stars" for this new season. The other new arrivals to the group of professionals are Artem Chiqvintsev and Keoikantse Motsepe.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy is not anywhere on the cast list, and he is not on the judging panel. He announced that he would no longer dance on the reality series, and there had been rumors he would join the judging panel this season. That did not happen. The slot went to Julianne Hough, but it is always possible that fans could see Maksim involved with the series again in the future. He has left the show before.
This season's cast is definitely a mix. It covers from the very young with the inclusion of Sadie Robertson to the elderly with the inclusion of Tommy Chong and Betsey Johnson. This season should be something to watch. With a new judge on the panel, new professional dancers, and an entirely new cast of celebrities, this reality series is shaking things up for season 19. The new season will premiere on Sept. 15 on ABC. Tune in to "Good Morning America" tomorrow morning for the official cast announcement.

Mystery-minded writers and readers:
On Saturday, April 26th, R.J. Julia will present a Mystery Writers Workshop at the Madison Winter Club featuring authors James Benn, Roberta Isleib (aka Lucy Burdette), Daniel Palmer, Spencer Quinn, M.J. Rose and Barbara Ross. Topics for discussion will include writing, editing, and marketing your mystery novel as well as an overview of the publishing industry and how to break into it.
The following is the event itinerary, taken from the R.J. Julia web site:
Roxanne Coady, R.J. Julia Booksellers
Writing the Traditional Mystery
Roberta Isleib
James Benn
Daniel Palmer
Moderated by John Valeri
If you're writing for a traditional press, you'll need a book between about 65,000 and 80,000 words. So, where do you begin? Plot, subplots, clues, characters, false leads… there's a lot to consider! This panel will help you sort it all out and set you on the path to success.
Editing: Top Ten Tips
MJ Rose
Barbara Ross
Spencer Quinn
Moderated by Amy Barry
Good editing is crucial to the success of your mystery novel. Let these writing experts walk you through the editing process, including the best methods for self-editing as well as working with an editor/publisher.
Marketing Your Mystery
James Benn
Barbara Ross
Spencer Quinn
Moderated by Liz Bartek
Marketing your work effectively is just as important as every other step in your career as a writer. It is vitally important to the success of your novel. This panel's speakers will shed light on some of the most critical steps of a book marketing plan and share their insight based on their own publishing careers.
How to Get Published
Roberta Isleib
MJ Rose
Daniel Palmer
Moderated by John Valeri
This panel will explore the Do's and Don't's of the publishing process. The authors will share the inner workings of the publishing world from their perspective and provide strategies for improving your odds of getting traditionally published.
And here are some thoughts from the writers themselves …
M.J. Rose: "Every writer has such different methods and madness when it comes to writing - that I for one am looking forward to hearing what all my fellow writers have to say! It's bound to be a day filled with murder, mayhem and surprises!"
Daniel Palmer: "No matter what people may say there's no 'formula' for writing great mystery and suspense novels. There is, however, a golden rule to which I try to adhere: don't bore your audience. I for one am looking forward to hearing how my fellow mystery and suspense writers avoid this death trap and I know the day will be filled with valuable insights for all."
James Benn: "Writers are a friendly and supportive bunch in a mostly solitary profession. If you're a beginning writer, come with your questions and desire to improve. You're certain to leave at minimum with an understanding that you're not in this alone."
Barbara Ross: "As a debut author this year, I was trying to figure out the mystery world not that long ago. Events like the one at R.J Julia where I met fellow authors have been a tremendous part of the journey."
Roberta Isleib: "Writing is a tough business. The friends I've made in the mystery world have taught me so much and buoyed me up along the way."
Spencer Quinn: "Mystery writing is like a real mystery: puzzling every time. That's at the heart of what's so rewarding about it. Hope I remember to mention that at the event!"
Tickets are $50/each and include morning and afternoon sessions, lunch, and a meet & greet session with the authors. They can be purchased online or by calling the store at 203-245-3959. The Madison Winter Club is located at 251 Boston Post Rd.

How do I resist my pregnancy craving for beer?
I'm my last trimester and I have a huge hankering for a beer every now and then. When I go out to eat, everyone looks at me funny if I order one -- even if I only have a few sips. Does anyone else share this craving? What can I do to deter dirty looks?

If your husband doesn't object, just have him order the beer and then take a sip or two. You still get your craving satisfied with less judgment. If you're concerned about the health risks for your baby, they are so minimal at that level of consumption as to be nearly non-existent. I think it is important to be safe and healthy during pregnancy, but I also think our culture goes a more than a little overboard when it comes to telling pregnant women what they can and cannot do. I eat sushi when I want despite the warnings. I have eaten sushi since I was a child and have never had a single bad experience. Yet, I get judged and warned even by my own friends and family. But ultimately, my husband doesn't have a problem with it and neither do I, so the rest of the world can get over themselves and worry about their own lives.posted 06/24/2012 by Andicam29
Maybe try a non-alchoholic beer? Odouls is pretty good:)posted 06/19/2012 by Momma Lentil
I've always hated the taste of beer and haven't drank any since I was 15 Yrs old, but now that i'm pregnant I LOVE the smell of it, something that normally would turn my stomach , If me and my husband go out he orders a drink I will have a sip or two and love it, I wouln't ever drink a whole beer being pregnant but i crave it now!!!posted 11/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
What about non-alcoholic beer? It's got the flavor without the alcohol. Try it and see if you like it. It's got 0.5% alcohol. I like beer too, and once in a while I get a craving for it too, so I bought Blue alcohol-free to try, and it's pretty good. I personally prefer the Blue Moon brand, but any beer is better than no beer to satisfy my craving. Good luck!posted 05/30/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I like beer alot too. It is my saving grace at the end of a long day. I drink de-alcoholized beer. The Dr recommended it. Less than .5% alcohol. My first child is perfect and the on my 2nd now. there is also a wine called Free comes in red and white and is great too. Best of luck. Ignore the crazy people opinions....posted 05/29/2012 by bella7814
Try drinking an odouls... Taste just like beer but no alcohol!! It worked for me!posted 05/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I love the taste of beer and if we go to a Mexican restraunt I have my husband to order a sloppy corona and I have to have a couple of drinks out of it because I crave the beer and after I get it I don't have to have it for awhile and I'm now in my third trimester and I don't feel bad about it at all!!posted 05/29/2012 by lesia1999
Fetal Alcohol syndrome is linked to alcohol consumption in the first trimester. It is incurable and irreversible. I don't crave or drink alcohol but one drink occasionally in the 3rd trimester is likely fine. I agree its safer to have an occasional glass of wine then diet soda daily. The artificial sweetners affect brain and organ development.posted 05/29/2012 by Charbswims
Am in my last trimester n I don't like beer..I never did...but about a month ago I started having this beer craving...I didn't even have a sip...I was vomiting everyday for about 2wks until I starting beer dream..I told my mom and she said drink half a beer it won't hurt but it will help those dream go away...guess what no more dreams..I fealt guilty and told my doc and he said "is ok" a beer or red wine to kill the craving won't hurt your baby...I haven't thought about beer ever seens...but now I have craving for a pasion fruit mojito...jajaaa...is funny to me cus I never use to like alcohol before now I can't wait to give birth to have the mojito....lolposted 05/29/2012 by cristybastardo84
I'm also in my last trimester and have a huge taste for beer every now and then. I don't order beer out. I will open a bottle at home and take 2 to 3 sips. Thats just enough. Now I don't do that everyday. I might have a taste for it once a month, kinda like the same as when I have a taste for coca-cola.posted 05/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

DAYS of LIGHT reveals an aspect of Cambodia that many visitors may not even be aware of and which Cambodians have seldom seen depicted in photographs. By showing ordinary people, the images remind Cambodians of their own lives. "That's me!" exclaimed a young Cambodian upon seeing a photograph of children playing at sunset. The feeling of being part of these ordinary lives is amplified by Peter's distinctive eye. Rather than showing scenes or vignettes of village life through the lens of a detached observer, he focuses on the people and thus creates a sense of personal encounter. These photographs are both a homage to the Cambodian people and a record of how it used to be when the flow of life was governed by the coming and going of the seasons, by the natural cycle of light and darkness in each passing day, by people's innate closeness to the earth, and by their thankful appreciation of the simple joys of life.

I have kegged my last two batches...an IPA and a Stout. First batch was sanitized with Star-San. I experienced very uncomfortable side effects: headaches, muscle aches, and a sense of fatigue. So for the stout, I sanitized everything using bleach. Experienced the exact same side effects! The only constant has been the co2 used. How is it possible two different brews would elicit the same very uncomfortable side effects? I am paranoid about brewing again. Thanks, Fred
Sounds like you're experiencing hangover-like symptoms. Hangovers from homebrew can be caused by fusel alcohols. Fusels are generally considered to be an "off" flavor and in large amounts create a hot, solventy taste (think paint thinner, or bad vodka). You didn't mention anything about your fermentation, but fusel production is generally the result of high fermentation temperatures (>72) and they increase with gravity.
That being said, even a well brewed beer will have low levels of fusel alcohols, and they are more noticeable in certain styles like strong Belgians that have yeast strains that naturally kick off more.

How You Can Enjoy Sake - Dear Site Visitors
Dear Site Visitors
Japazoo.com is a new service that was developed by byZOO Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
Our service was founded with a view to becoming the largest Sake distributors in the global market, at the same time we are running the English Language schools in Tokyo that target just female clientele with entry level conversation skill.
With the uniqueness of this international corporate culture and strength in targeted niche product development, we have started the development of Japazoo.com webpage so that we could bring the best Sake products to the global marketplace.
Right now, the website is under development and the project has delayed due to the earthquake and Tsunami that hit northern Japan in March 2011, but we will soon update it and release the service officially\. In the meantime, we will introduce you how sake is made, how it is uniquely flavored, and then how you can get it.
We strongly recommend that you follow us on Twitter or bookmark this website so that you would see the updates on us.

Sake -- Not Wine, Not Beer, it's Sake
Sake is by far the most refined, intrigueing, and yet enjoyable alcholic beverages in the world.
The beverage is veiled by Japan's isolated language and its island geography, however, it is as fascinating in flavor and fragrance, and history as any wine, spirit, or beer.
Sake is often labeled as "Japanese Wine" or "Rice Wine" due to the lack of carbonation and relatively high alcohol content (15-20%) or sometimes as a beer, since it is made with grain (Sake is made from rice), not fruit.
Sake making process is different enough from both the wine and beer making processes to justify a new category of on its own.
Wine is a fermented beverage. Fermentation is the process by which yeast converts sugar to alcohol and carbon dioxide, which, in the case of wine, is allowed to escape. Sugars are already present in the grape juice, and these sugars are ready for use by the yeast cells as food and nutrients.
Like Sake, Beer calls for another step in the process. There is no fermentable sugar in bareley grains, only long starch molecules. These must be broken down to smaller sugar molecules, in other ways, like overt or subtle sweetness. First the barley must be malted. The grains are moistened and warmed to start the germination process. This creates enzymes that patiently wait in the grain until they are called upon to break starch molecules down into sugar molecules later in the process. Next, the barley grains are cracked open to allow water in, then soaked in water at specific temperatures for specific periods of time. This activates the enzymes, which cut and chop the starch chains into sugar molecules. Creating sugar molecules from starch molecules is known as "saccharification." The steeping time and temperatures of this malt-and-water mash determine just how the starch molecules will break down into fermentable sugar that will be available as food for the yeast, and nonfermentable sugar that will otherwise bolster the flavor. Only after these sugars are created is yeast added. Fermentation can then proceed.
How Sake is Made
Sake is also made from a grain, which is rice. However, the enzymes that break down the starch molecules into fermentable sugars isn sake making must come from outside the rice grains, which already have been milled to remove the outer portions, and therefore cannot be malted.
These enzymes are provided by a molded called Koji-kin, or Aspergillus oryzae, that is deliberately cultivated onto steamed rice. This provideds the enzymes that will perform the required saccharification, just as malting does in beer production.
Steamed rice onto which this Koji-kin has been propagated is mixed with straight steamed rice, water, and yeast in the same tank. The key point here is that saccharification and fermentation by the yeast take place at the same time in the same tank. In this, sake is uniquei in the world of alchoholic beverages. This process is known as beiko fukuhakkoshiki, or multiple parallel fermentation.

Compiling a short list of "athletes to watch" at events based on individual results is generally simple: Look at the previous year's results, and mention the top handful who were not seniors a year ago.
Simple, but with a potential simple flaw.
Kelsey Klettke, a senior at Lewis-Clark State in Lewiston, Idaho, was an NAIA cross country All-American as junior.
Just not last year.
The year before.
After placing 11th at nationals in 2010, the Prairie High School graduate missed the entire 2011 season as she battled hip and leg injuries.
In her final collegiate cross country race, Klettke again placed 11th Saturday at Fort Vancouver National Site. Her time over the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) course was 18 minutes, 17 seconds.
"I feel great," Klettke said. "I mean, I surprised myself. I'm always shooting to do the best anyone can ever do — shooting for the gold. I ran just smart and I felt like the way I ran laid out perfectly."
Not perfect enough to write a storybook finish by winning a national championship in her final race — and in her hometown, no less.
But still impressive, and satisfying. Well, she was slower this year than she was in 2010.
By one second.
"I don't feel like I'm in as good a shape as I was two years ago, so the fact that I pulled it together and got the same place as I did and pretty much the same time — it was a lot harder and a lot tougher and I really feel it in my muscles, but I'm very happy," Klettke said. "It feels good to know that I was able to take a whole year off and come back just as strong."
Klettke still has her senior seasons upcoming in indoor and outdoor track.
Farther ahead, she expects to graduate next fall with a degree in biology with a kinesiology minor.
"Plan after that?" Hmm, I guess that is the scary question," she replied about her plans after college. "But I really want to travel for a bit, experience different cultures and eventually find something that I would like to do for a career. Not too stressed about it. More excited than anything, and ready to start a new chapter."
For local runners in the men's race, Northwest University senior Matt Porter (Hockinson High School) finished 64th in 25:48; and Concordia University freshman Roman Kirvov (Union High School) placed 107th in 26:12 and senior Nick Wilson (Columbia River High School) was 263rd in 27:56.Concordia junior Kristina Cupp (Vancouver Christian High School) did not run in the women's race because of illness.
EOU's Sorensen first team All-CCC
Eastern Oregon University sophomore outside hitter Stefani Sorensen was named to the All-Cascade Collegiate Conference first team.
The Camas High School graduate led the CCC with a hitting percentage of .328 (318 kills and 79 errors on 728 attempts in 101 sets), and was sixth with 3.15 kills a game.
The Mountaineers finished 23-7, including 14-4 in regular season conference play, advancing to the CCC tournament championship match on Nov. 10 before falling to College of Idaho.
MIT's Merlino named academic All-America
Massachusetts Institute of Technology junior safety Matt Merlino was named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-District team by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Merlino, a Union High grad, tied for second on the Engineers with 69 tackles.
An electrical engineering and computer science major with a 4.4 cumulative grade point average, he shared the team lead with three interceptions while also leading the Engineers with six pass breakups.
Honorees advance to the Capitol One Academic All-America ballot, from which first, second and third team All-America honorees will be selected.
I.C. kicker Newman named all-conference
Illinois College sophomore placekicker Matt Newman was named First Team All-Midwest Conference.
The Ridgefield High School graduate was 5 of 7 on field goals during the 2012 season and made all 53 of his extra point attempts, the fifth-highest single-season total in conference history.

Sonny Dykes
Sonny Dykes returned to his alma mater as the team's wide receiver's coach in January 2000, and his presence has been felt ever since as Texas Tech has set over 20 receiving records since his first season.
Dykes has been instrumental in Texas Tech's record-setting passing attack. In his five seasons, Red Raider receivers have set numerous individual school and conference receiving records, including Jarrett Hicks, who set the single-season touchdown receptions record with 13 last season. Hicks has already garnered preseason All-America recognition heading into the 2005 campaign.
Among his previous pupils at Tech was Carlos Francis, a fourth-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders in the 2004 NFL Draft. Francis finished his career with 20 receiving touchdowns, which ranks second on the career list at Tech and was third in career receiving yardage.
In addition to Francis, Dykes also coached former New York Giants receiver Derek Dorris during his career at Tech. Other players Dykes coached during his career who are currently on NFL rosters include Quentin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), Brad Pyatt (Indianapolis Colts) and Derek Smith (Cincinnati Bengals). Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Leroy Fields also tutored under Dykes.
Dykes returned to Tech from the University of Kentucky, where he coached the tight ends and special teams as a graduate assistant on then-head coach Hal Mumme's staff. The 1999 season in Lexington was his second and saw one of his players, James Whalen, named to the Associated Press All-America team and set the all-time NCAA Division I record for receptions by a tight end. Whalen is currently with the Dallas Cowboys.
Dykes also was a graduate assistant under Mumme during the 1997 season, before heading to Northeast Louisiana University for the 1998 campaign.
Under Dykes' guidance, NLU wide receiver Marty Booker broke all of the school single-season and career receiving records. Booker was named first-team All-Independent and played in the Blue-Gray and East-West Shrine all-star games. Booker was a third-round selection in the 1999 NFL Draft of the Chicago Bears and is in his sixth season with the team.
Dykes worked at Navarro Junior College in 1995-96. In 1996, he was the quarterbacks and receivers coach and the passing game coordinator as Navarro posted a 7-4 record and reached the Texas junior college championship game. In 1995, he coached the running backs as Navarro went 8-2.
Dykes also coached running backs on the high school level at Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas, in 1994. He got his start in coaching as a baseball coach at Monahans (Texas) High School in the spring of 1994.
A native of Big Spring, Texas, Dykes was a football and baseball star at Coronado High School in Lubbock. He went on to Texas Tech, where he was a three-year letterman as a first baseman. He graduated from Tech in 1993 with a degree in history.
Dykes is the son of Tech's all-time winningest football coach, Spike Dykes.
COACHING EXPERIENCE 2000- (Texas Tech University - Wide Receivers); 1999 (University of Kentucky - Inside Receivers/Special Teams); 1998 (Northeast Louisiana University - Wide Receivers); 1997 (University of Kentucky - Graduate Assistant/Tight Ends); 1996 (Navarro Junior College - Passing Game); 1995 (Navarro Junior College - Running Backs); 1994 - Pearce High School - Assistant).
POSTSEASON EXPERIENCE 2004 Holiday; 2003 Houston; 2002 Tangerine; 2001 Alamo; 2000 Galleryfurniture; 1999 Music City.

This is from a progressive blog, but man is she ever right:
I don't really care why Snyder folded; the problem is that he did. Now Lansing has triggered all kindsa turmoil that we coulda shoulda avoided. Here are just a few of the ramifications of what one shitty nerd did yesterday:
1. Snyder ruined his own reputation as a moderate. Mind you, those of us who pay attention already knew he was a right wing loon. Now everyone else finally knows too. Here's hoping we see no more of those bullshit editorials by the NYT on how Mr Snyder breaks the mold. I'd like to say I toldja so but if you are receptive to that message then you are already kicking yourself.
2. Snyder demonstrated that his "word" is worthless. We all know the difference between what he said and what he did. 'nuff said.
3. Snyder has cemented his legacy as a Dictator Governor. Removing local governments, pepper-spraying protesters, locking people out of the Capitol. Detroit will probably riot again. Rick Snyder brought us civil unrest.
4. Snyder's agenda will stall. Though since he's never been honest about what's on it, this may be hard to measure.
Those are just some of the consequences to Snyder. I'm not making any predictions on his re-election, though I am pretty confident that he just lost. Here are some of the consequences for the rest of us:
1. People are going to get their asses beat in union shops. Say what you want about union thugs, I know you will anyway. But if you join a union shop and you take union benefits and let the union people take all the risk and you refuse to help, someone is going to fuck with you. If you understood the history of labor, you would understand the violence. If you don't like it, you've got the freedom to work at a non-union shop. Sayonara, leech.
2. Discrimination against union members will increase. Union busting shops will offer better wages and benefits to the folks who refuse to pay union dues. Some of the right wingers will use this as evidence that unions aren't needed, but that's because they're stupid. Once the union goes away, so will the incentive to offer perks.
3. Recalls will begin. Targeted recalls against House and Senate members will begin as soon as possible. That's not me organizing them; there were already talks underway. The interesting thing about recalls this time is that the people who generally do not support them are actually in favor of them now. I predict we will take out 2 House members and 1 Senator, and we will take over the legislature in 2014. Some of those House seats we might not be able keep because they'll be in Republican territory, but a conservative Democrat might be able to hold them. (Snyder will not be a target of a recall)
4. Gerrymandering reform will begin this decade. If you have to lie about your intentions and lock people out of the Capitol, you know you are going against the wishes of the people. The way to fix that is to fix the gerrymandering system that allows the Republicans to keep control of our government even though they are the clear minority in the state.
5. The right to steal law will be repealed. We'll have this fight all over again, and we'll win. And it will be easier because we'll be in the majority.
via And the republican party accelerates its decline into nothingness.
Spot on….

The FDA has given 501(k) clearance to the Integra(R) Titanium Bone Wedges, designed for osteotomies in the foot and ankle; procedures in which surgeons cut a bone to shorten, lengthen, or change its alignment to help correct deformities. It is also performed to correct a bunion or bone that has healed crookedly following a fracture, as well as correct a coxa vara (a deformity of the hip, on which the angle between the head and the shaft of the femur is reduced to less than 120 degrees), genu valgum (knock knees), and genu varum (bowed legs). It is also one method used to relieve pain in arthritis, especially of the hip and knee, although most older patients are now opting for joint replacement instead.
The bone wedges are designed to provide by providing a "scaffold for bone growth, as well as biologic stability and structural," according to the company, which went on to explain that "ancillary plates are then used to hold bone graft material in place and prevent it from expulsion."
The Integra Titanium Bone Wedge is available in 15 different pre-shaped anatomical sizes, to accommodate various skeletal deformities in the foot.
"We're very pleased that we can now offer surgeons another option to complete our flatfoot correction portfolio," stated Robert Paltridge, President, Extremity Reconstruction. "Our Titanium Bone Wedges provide more stability over allograft wedges. Additionally, our extensive line of pre-shaped bone wedge implants does not require custom shaping, which helps reduce surgical time."
The system will be featured at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) 72nd Annual Scientific Conference, today (February 27) thru March 2, 2014, in Orlando, FL.

It seems that some script kiddie started attacking one of my servers by trying to fetch all sorts of URLs that may be related to Wordpress vulnerabilities. I don't even have WP installed on the server, and all these cause is a bunch of 404 errors.
Since I have my server set up to email me for each 404 error (which until now, for years, has worked very well to catch an occasional broken link), these attacks not only put load on the server but also flood my inbox.
Is there some reliable software that can block IPs that display a malicious behavior? Hopefully, at the iptables or nginx level...
Even better, is there some service that plugs into a community database that can preemptively block an IP that has recently been detected by another server as having malicious activity originating from it?

On June 10, Jack White will release his new solo album, Lazaretto. The highly anticipated follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed Blunderbuss will be issued through White's own Third Man Records, affiliated through the Columbia label. The first single, "Lazaretto," will be released later this month, but he has released a video to an instrumental track, "High Ball Stepper." The song is a slick pairing of White's signature fuzzed and chaotic blues riffing guitar, and his equally signature jazz/rhythm and blues tinged piano playing.
To mark the release of Lazaretto, Third Man Records' upcoming quarterly vault package will be dedicated to the release, with a limited edition vinyl copy of the album pressed on blue and white wax. A 7" 45 RPM of demos will also be a part of the vault package. In addition, Jack will also be attempting to set the record for "the world's fastest released record." On April 19 (Record Store Day), White will take the stage at 10 o'clock in the morning at Third Man Records and record "Lazaretto" direct-to-acetate, which will in turn be sent directly to United Records (around the corner from Third Man in Nashville) for pressing. The singles will be released that afternoon.
So to say the least, after about a year out of the spotlight, Jack White has hit the ground running. More to come…

There are not a lot of measurable stats to tell us how an offensive lineman performs, or how an O line as a unit get the job done. There are a few, but we have to look at what the offense does as a whole and then decide for ourselves how much credit or blame we give he Offensive line. In 2013, the Detroit Lions' O line has been very good. In fact it seems we could argue that they are performing far above expectations.
That is very surprising since he looked like O live was going to be an issue during the 2013 season. There is a lot of youth on this unit for the Lions and before the season began we wondered how long it would take them to gel together. That answer to that so far has been one training camp and half a season, Granted RT Jason Fox has been oft injured and Corey Hilliard has stepped up to lock down the starting five.
The best stat for this unit is that QB Matthew Stafford has only been sacked 10 times. To put that number into perceptive, of the QB's who have started every 2013 NFL game for their team that is the least amount of sacks allowed. That means Stafford has had time to find targets down the field and does not have to worry about his protection. His protection is there, and it is stout.
The offensive line pass protects very well. However, the true test of an O line is in how it run blocks. As a team the Lions average 98.1 yards per game on the ground. That is 21st best in the NFL this season, and game plan arguments aside it an indictment of what this O line is capable of in the run game. They do average 3.8 yards per rush and that is pretty good but also an indication that if this line did a better job run blocking what this offense would be truly explosive. That is the biggest knock on this unit.
At the quarter season mark the O line got a A grade, and given the less than spectacular run blocking abilities it seems tit should drop a bit down to a A-.

"The Dot that bites back!" says this package of Sour DOTS. Seems like they decided to have an addition to the DOTS family. I was excited to try these once I found them, as most of the variations on the traditional DOTS I've had I've liked a lot. Even though I am not crazy on sour candy, maybe a sour variation on a candy I already liked would be the trick.
First of all, I love the package for these. The DOTS that are making sour, puckering faces are just too cute! I'm always a sucker when you add faces to candy. These colors are also fun and inviting and do send off that "sour" vibe.
Opening the box, I find that a coating of citric acid and sugar are what makes these DOTS sour. The coating doesn't rub off in my hands in a pile of powder, so it sticks well to the traditional DOTS gumdrop. It like it when candy isn't messy to eat.
Grape: These start off sour then build into a very juicy, standard grape flavor. Know what else tastes exactly like this? Grape tootsie pops. Not a surprise since they come from the same company!
Lemon: This one is amazing. Bright and zesty from the start. Has that beautiful, straight, authentic flavor of a real lemon. Like real sour lemons drops. So awesome!
Orange: Very smooth and plain. Has an base orange flavor, but with no tartness or zest to it.
Green Apple: Has that very acute, fruity, fake sour apple taste. It's very floral and smooth, but has that funny accent to it that's hard to lay one's finger on.
Cherry: Sour at first from the dusting on the top, then the very bright, woodsy cherry flavors come through. They have a very acute berry edge to them which makes them floral and sweet. It
not too metallic at all surprisingly.
I was really impressed with these! I enjoyed them a lot, especially since the sour parts didn't last very long. Sour or DOTS lovers alike, I really recommend these!

In our lecture notes of functional analysis we are given the following definition:
Let $(X, \| \cdot \|_X)$ be a $\mathbb{R}$-vector space with a norm and $X^*$ be its dual space. Let $(x_k)_{k \in \mathbb{N}} \subset X$ and $x \in X$. The sequence $(x_k)_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$ converges weakly to $x$ if for all $\ell \in X^*$ we have $$\ell(x_k) \to \ell(x)$$ as $k \to \infty$.
We are given the example, that the sequence $\ell^2 \ni e_i = (0, \dots, 0, 1, 0, \dots)$ converges weakly to $0$. What exactly is $\ell^2$? Is it relevant? If it is not, why does this sequence converge weakly to $0$?

Carly Holboke, Mountain View girls basketball
Mountain View junior Carly Holboke has been voted as The Columbian high school athlete of a week in a poll of fans on Facebook.
Holboke collected 52 percent of the 508 votes that were logged between Monday and Thursday night to outdistance Columbia River boys basketball player Isaiah Smith (32 percent).
Holboke had a record-breaking week for the Mountain View girls basketball team last week. Holboke broke the Mountain View single-game scoring record when she tallied 39 points in an overtime win over Fort Vancouver on Jan. 3. That record only lasted a few days, when she scored 46 points in a win over Hudson's Bay on Jan. 7. Holboke ended the week averaging an area-best 26.1 points a game.
The other candidates were Columbia River boys swimmer Nicholas McMillan, Mountain View wrestler Jonah Hansen and Fort Vancouver girls basketball player Mar'Shay Moore.
Check back at The Columbian prep sports' Facebook page at www.facebook.com/360preps this weekend for nominees for next week's athlete of the week. Voting begins on Monday.

Don't know myself but you might get better luck over at KTOG. Those guys know their stuff about anything and everything Kel Tec.
This is a discussion on P3-AT Armalaser within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Anyone here carry the P3-AT with the armalaser? Is it worth the cash? I've heard all the pros... but I'd be interested in any cons ...
Anyone here carry the P3-AT with the armalaser? Is it worth the cash? I've heard all the pros... but I'd be interested in any cons anyone might have.
The facts are indisputable. There is more data supporting the benefits of Conceal Carry than there is supporting global warming. If you choose ignorance, in light of all the evidence, in order to bolster your irrational fear of guns, you are a greater threat to society than any gun owner.
Don't know myself but you might get better luck over at KTOG. Those guys know their stuff about anything and everything Kel Tec.
I was just over at KTOG, I did not realize CTC came out with a laser grip for the P3AT. I want one now, I like the CTC on my M&P and would enjoy having one on my P3AT. I can barely even see the sights as it is, a laser will help that.
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
-James Earl Jones
I have had the Armalaser for myself for a little over a year now and have installed a few for other people. To date, no problems whatsoever on any of them. I feel they are worth the money. If you have any specific questions please fell free to ask.
I hold the understanding that you have to put your finger inside the trigger guard to activate the laser. Is that correct? If so, that's not cool. I think lasers are a great visual deterrent, but I also think you should never put your finger in the trigger guard until your sights are on the threat and you're ready to fire. That makes the Arma laser a liability, IMO. If I'm wrong about the activation, please let me know.

Where self preservation is concerned, if you're not cheating, your not trying...
A big agreement from me on that one, Boomstick. I always carry my p-32 or my pf-9 in a Desantis Nemesis for just that reason. Hey, I just realized the p-380 is a mouse gun, so, if you had one, it could be called a Boomstick's Mouser. If you get that, you're too old to have access to a weapon.
This isn't the type of gun I would bother installing a laser on. It is meant to be a up close point and shoot belly gun, not something you plink cans with at 25 yards. But that's just my .02
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!
Carry On!
For me personally, to do anything that makes the P3AT more bulky defeats the purpose of the gun.
Haven't used a laser on it but I've had several/carry several P3AT's and think they're about ideal for their role but I wouldn't spend the money to put a laser on them. Their roll is last chance up close and personal and at that range, it's likely to be a few seconds at best for it all to happen. I just don't think a laser can be effectively employed in the likely circumstances. If you have the time to use the laser or for it to be a visual deterent, then I would hope (if it's possible) that you're retreating and/or moving for cover. Again, I think it's working contray to the purpose of this weapon.
Having said that, it would probably be fun to shoot with...
God Bless

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
Well, she loves it!
Time to attach the top of the kangaroo pouch. Next a little blocking and then all will be done. I'm actually feeling a bit sad that it will soon be over.
Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
Well, she loves it!
Time to attach the top of the kangaroo pouch. Next a little blocking and then all will be done. I'm actually feeling a bit sad that it will soon be over.
Wow! I love it!!! The kangaroo pocket and hood and pom poms and thumb holes are the greatest. I love how involved TC has been in the planning and I know she will wear it a lot because of it. Great job.
We have our first cool day (high in the 60′s) here in Tennessee and I think I will get to wear my striped Spud & Chloe raglan for the first time this afternoon! Yeah!!!
That is looking so cute! I love the cords and pom poms–such a fun detail. I can't wait until my kids are a bit older and able to give more input on designing their own knitwear.
Looks great! Thanks for the video on picking up stitches. I love watching people knit who know what they are doing. I have been knitting since sixth grade, but only in the last 5 or 6 years have I learned how to read a pattern or do anything other than garter stitch. Now I don't go anywhere without my knitting, even if I'm going through the drive-through at the bank, I spend my waiting time knitting. Love it!
For a bit of encouragement to everyone, I got my J.Jill catalog in the mail today. We can knit $89.00 sweaters now! The Thick and Thin sweater has a cute rolled edge and a crocheted neck edge. The Cardigan version has the cutest rounded pockets with a rolled edge and the Textural Cardigan has cute garter detail on the little rounded pockets. But the basic recipe is the raglan pullover! Go see…
This sweater would be a hit with my daughter for sure. I love the bright colours….. long cuffs, what's not to love?
I love it!! The colors are beautiful. Just in time for some fall weather too.
You have done such a nice job with this KAL, Susan! TC's input has been fun to watch as well….Thank you so much!
I think TC was right mom. Those little touches are fantastic!!!
What a cool sweater! I love the pom poms!
Love it!!
Now that's one special sweater! Wonderful. I'm still knitting along. I'm a third of the way through my first sleeve, and am itching to finish it (oh busy schedule!)…
Totally rocks! Love it!
You really out did yourself this time Susan! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for doing this KAL, even if I was late to start.
I love the pocket and hood; thumbholes and pom poms all in beautiful stripes…you are so talented!
I think TC should consider majoring in design …
Gorgeous! That girl of yours knew what she wanted and the end result is just perfect.
So perfect! I really love all the little details. Great job
That's really cute hoodie… Now will you take orders? LOL!
The color combination, hoodie, thumbholes and pocket make it all fun to follow… I wasn't able to keep up after all I ran into problems doing the first part and gave up. What's the next project do you have in store for us? Christmas??
It looks great!!
The sweater looks great! I'm due with a little girl in February and I think she would look adorable in a tinier version.
In other news, I just received the pattern for the Buga Baby Bunting, plus four skeins of Outer in Rocket. The color is even more beautiful in real life than the pictures online. There's a raspberry-ness to it that I couldn't see online. I am loathe to finish my other projects — all I want to do is CAST ON!!!
Happy knitting!
Love it! I'm sure she will be on cloud nine when she wears it! Pack it up when she outgrows it to be passed down to one of her kids someday!
Your daughter has very good taste and her Mom is a great knitter! Just adorable.
Looks wonderful!
It's so cute, I want one for myself!
The kangaroo pocket rocks! It's all fantastic. So fun seeing it all come together.
My daughter would love this sweater. I'll have to get started…..
GREAT hoodie. I love the thumb holes and the pom poms. Great special touch.
It looks really great! I'm not sure which I like most, the actual sweater or the fact that TC got to customize the design.
Love it! You and TC make a good designing team. I look forward to future collaborations.
Totally adorable! We love it all the great details. I have been requested to knit one "Just Like It" for my 12 year old Girly. Of course, Just Like It, except could the stripes be different colors and could it have a zipper…
The sweater is perfect! Did you pick up stitches for the pocket from the sweater? When you bind off, will you bind off and attach the pocket at the same time, or just sew it on?
The colors are wonderful. Thank you for your effort.
Carol Ann
I'll talk about all of that on the next post:)
I'm looking forward to it:)
Carol Ann
That is so cute! I'll be watching for how you did the pocket.
Fabulous!! You did it and it is gorgeous, love the colours TC selected and the cute pom-poms and thumb sleeves are perfect (as is the whole sweater)! I bet TC LOVES to wear it, knowing it was made with so much love and attention to detail. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your progress on this wonderful sweater! So much fun to watch! The sweater is gorgeous.
How –and where!– are you joining new yarns? Your stripes look so even!
I have about a dozen stripes in my sweater, so far, and am about two inches past joining the neckline for knitting in the round, but at the yarn changes I keep winding up with a gap like a bound-off button hole. I'm fixing it when I weave in the ends, so the sweater looks fine outwardly, but I know it's a structural problem. Any advice? Thank you!

I join in the new colors in a discreet spot like on the side so it isn't as noticeable. Sometimes if I remember I will do the jogless jog (google it and you'll find loads of info) and then when I weave in the ends I give an extra tug to make sure the joins aren't loose.
Thank you! I'll look up "jogless jog." Your sweater stripes look perfect!
I absolutely love this sweater! The colors are awesome!
LOVE it ~ the colors, the hood & the pom poms add the sweetest touch!!
Hey, you used to write great, but the last few posts have been kinda boring… I miss your tremendous writings. Past several posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!
My problem has been already stated earlier with the flickering and inproper placing of ads. To add to it, I can not uninstall ie9, it does not show up in programs as being installed, but it is. When I try to re-install ie9, it gives an error that it can not install ie9 because I have a newer version of ie on my system. I've tried to go back to a Restore point, but they are now gone, except for the Restore point that my computer did right after installing ie9.

Report: Unemployment At Its Lowest Rate In Four Years
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on December 07, 2012 @ 9:29PM
Created on December 07, 2012 @ 7:42PM
On Friday officials released the latest unemployment numbers.
These numbers are at the lowest levels they've been at in four years. They're currently at 7.7%, which is down from last month when they were at 7.9%.
According to economists one of the reasons for this drop is that the number of people being counted as looking for a job is down. The report also mentions that about 147,000 jobs were added last month, and that seems to be a trend.
Eric Bowen, an economist at West Virginia University, said if the economy is going to turn around that need to keep happening.
"The job numbers were better than many economists had expected," Bowen said. "That certainly gives us some hope that things are turning around."
However some, like Congressman David McKinley, said they aren't growing as fast as he would like.
McKinley told Metronews that the growth rate needs to be two to three times more than what it was last month.

Army freshman Mary Vaccaro was named Patriot League Setter of the Year Tuesday.
Nov. 15, 2011
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Patriot League Tournament teams dominated the All-League and major awards that were announced Tuesday, with American freshman Sara Rishell becoming the second player in three years to be named both the Patriot League Player and Rookie of the Year.
Joining Rishell as major award winners Tuesday were Army freshman Mary Vaccaro as Setter of the Year, Lehigh sophomore Rachel Charles as Libero of the Year and American's Barry Goldberg as Coach of the Year.
Voting was conducted by the League's eight head coaches who could not cast a ballot for themselves or their student-athletes.
American owned a League-best four All-League honorees, with Rishell and sophomore Juliana Crum making the first team and senior Rebecca Heath and freshman Monika Smidova earning second-team accolades.
Army, Colgate and Lehigh tied with three All-Leaguers apiece. All three of the Black Knights' selections were named to the first team in Vaccaro, junior Ariana Mankus and sophomore Megan Wilton. Colgate's lone first-team honoree was sophomore Lindsay Young, while senior Kaylee Dougherty and sophomore Kaylee Fifer were named to the second team. Lehigh junior Taylor Poole earned a first-team nod, while seniors Angelika Kopacz and Jessica Kudirka were earned second-team laurels.
The only team that did not qualify for the Patriot League Tournament to have an All-League selection was Holy Cross. Junior Megan Lynch garnered a place on the second team.
Fourteen of the 15 student-athletes honored either on the All-League team or with a major award Tuesday will be participating in this weekend's Patriot League Tournament.
Rishell becomes the second ever to garner the Player and Rookie of the Year nods in the same season and first since Mankus in 2009. Rishell has been one of the League's top performers all season long, and enters this weekend's tournament tops in the League hitting .323, fourth averaging 3.21 kills per set and fourth with 350 total kills. An outside hitter and middle blocker, Rishell owns two of the best performances this season in terms of attack percentage, hitting .679 in a four-set win over Holy Cross last month and .688 in American's 3-0 sweep of Lehigh Friday. During League play, she finished second with a .385 attack percentage and fifth with 3.16 kills per set. She enters the League Tournament with the League's second-highest total blocks tally of 101. Rishell is the second straight Player of the Year from American and ninth overall, and is the fifth Eagle named Rookie of the Year and first since 2008.
From day one, Vaccaro has been the League's top setter, sitting at the top of the League standings and ranking in the top 20 nationally in assists per set. She leads the League averaging 11.40 assists per set in all matches and 11.06 per frame during League play. Vaccaro was named Rookie of the Week a record eight times this season and boasts two stretches in which she was honored at least three weeks in a row. With 1,220 assists on the season, Vaccaro is on the verge of climbing into the League's single-season top 10 in the category. She's 11 shy of becoming the first student-athlete in eight years to do so. Vaccaro is the fifth Black Knight to capture the Setter of the Year award since its inception in 2006 and the third straight to do so, following Maureen Bannon (2006-07, 09) and Karyn Powell (2010).
Charles was one of several players to post strong seasons for Lehigh to lift it into its first League Tournament since 2009. The sophomore libero and defensive specialist enters the weekend third in the League rankings averaging 4.22 digs per set and finished League play sitting second with 4.19 per frame. Charles is in a four-way tie for the most digs in a match this season by any Patriot Leaguer with 32, which she accomplished in a four-set victory against Princeton in September. Her best showing during League play was a 25-dig performance in Lehigh's four-set loss against Army Sept. 23. Charles also leads the League in total aces (55) and aces per set (0.55). She is the fourth Mountain Hawk to garner the League's top defensive award and first since Emma Melendez was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2009.
Goldberg secured his second consecutive Coach of the Year honor and fourth overall, having also been named to the award in 2001 and again in '06. He guided the Eagles to a 13-1 mark against League teams, and improved his overall League record in 11 seasons to an incredible 147-7. American is enjoying its second straight 20-win season, and has reached that plateau 10 out of 11 years. Overall, Goldberg has won seven Coach of the Year trophies, having collected three from 1990-2000 when American was a member of the Colonial Athletic Association.
Crum, one of the top rookies in the League a year ago, garnered her first All-League selection with a spot on the first team. An outside hitter, she enters the tournament 10th in the League hitting .259 and is one of six players with at least 300 kills. Heath, a senior outside hitter and American's last Rookie of the Year before Rishell, sits seventh in the League standings hitting .268 in all matches and in the same position after hitting .305 during League play. Smidova, a freshman, was part of a potent 1-2 setting combination for American. She averaged 5.78 assists per set in 102 frames to enter this weekend's action seventh in the League.
Joining Vaccaro on the first team from Army were Mankus and Wilton. Mankus finished League play second with 3.65 kills per set and enters the tournament also second in the League averaging 3.72 kills per frame. Her 398 total kills are second overall, and she enters the weekend sixth in the League in digs-per-set average (3.69). Wilton, the 2010 Rookie of the Year, sits third in the League hitting .300 and is averaging 2.75 kills per set for sixth.
Young, a sophomore outside hitter, was named first-team All-League after finishing the regular season third in the League with 3.35 kills per set and third with 355 total kills. She enters the tournament hitting .219 and is fourth on the Raiders with 204 digs. Dougherty garnered her third straight All-League laurel with a spot on the first team in 2011. She sits third on the team in attack percentage (.248) while averaging 2.35 kills per set and a team-best 62 total blocks on the year. Fifer, a sophomore setter, sits third in the League averaging 9.39 assists per frame and is 14 shy of 1,000 for the season. She's evolved into a versatile threat for the Raiders, collecting 119 kills and 298 digs with a .264 hitting percentage in 105 sets played.
Poole was a first-team selection in 2010 and duplicated that showing this season. A middle blocker, she was a two-time Molten Player of the Week and enters the weekend with the League's second-highest attacking percentage (.318). During League play, she upped that number to a League-best .389, with 102 kills and only 21 errors. Kopacz, a senior outside hitter, was a first-team selection in 2009, and finished the regular season eighth among League players with averaging 2.68 kills per set. Kudirka, a senior setter, currently sits second in the League with 10.18 assists per set and posted an average of 10.64 per frame during 14 League contests. She is 23 away from 1,000 for the season.
Lynch captured her third straight second-team All-League laurel this season. She sits first in total kills (405) and kills per set (3.93) and finished her season 10th in the League averaging 2.89 digs per set. Lynch finished League play with the best kills-per-set average at 3.98 and is one of only two Crusaders in school history with 1,000 kills and 900 digs.
The Patriot League Volleyball Tournament begins with two semifinal matches Saturday at American University's Bender Arena in Washington, D.C. The No. 1 seed Eagles, who are hosting the four-team playoff for the 10th time in 11 years, take on fourth-seeded Colgate at 2 p.m., while second seed Army battles No. 3 Lehigh at 5 p.m. The tournament concludes Sunday with the championship match at 2 p.m. The winner earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
