Introducing Printingskills.com
2008-04-09 | Filed Under Uncategorized |
So here's the thing: we had two options regarding the new capabilities we're introducing: we could develop everything from the ground-up or we could partner with someone who had already done much of the development, and we could wrap a brand around what had been done. So obviously we chose the second option - Workblast.com has developed a kicking interface, and we're going to bring that interface, with all the video capabilities, to the entirety of the Hireskills.com database of people. That's approaching 30,000 printing people in the United States and Canada. That's kicking, too. Nick Murphy, the CEO of Workblast.com (ironically a former NFL Kicker) is running around the country getting college students excited about what he's offering at Workblast.com across the non-printing industry. We're bringing this capability to the Printing industry ourselves. We're going to run Hireskills.com in parallel with Printingskills.com, so we can ease the people into the new technology. Video isn't for everyone; but for people that feel comfortable on a webcam it rocks. Others will want to consider having other people go on video for them, get endorsements from professors, former employers, former and current co-workers - put them on camera for a minute or two and have them tell your prospective employer how awesome you are. Then there's the powerpoint presentation - you can do one of those and narrate it yourself - tell prospective employers about the work you are showing in the presentation. Or, you can tie your resume to a portfolio of your work in a variety of formats, and let your resume and portfolio speak for you. Or you can do all the above.
And sooner or later, I mean it HAS to happen, one or two forward-looking printing companies will post their videos on our site to get job seekers excited about their capabilities. At Hireskills.com we still see an amazing number of companies that don't understand the internet's true value to their company. Some of the customers don't believe we can do what we do for the price we charge - a fraction of the cost of any recruiter in the industry! But we have the largest database in the industry - of course we can find people for companies - in many cases it's merely a function of posting a great looking job and looking in the inbox the next morning - it's not terribly difficult.
But the big thing here is that we're gong to be introducing PrintingSkills.com to the industry - and it's truly going to change everything. We're going to tie Hi-Res Kills into the networking capability, you are going to love this place! Stay tuned!
Okay, we've been quiet for a while, but that's going to change
2008-03-26 | Filed Under Uncategorized |
To the hundreds of people who signed up on this site - thanks. We're going to make it worth your while. We've been working to get some cool stuff launched and it's still days away, but we're REALLY getting there. I'll explain why it is taking so long:
1) we are adding major capabilities with their own brand, to the hireskills site. That doesn't come without cost, dollars and time;
2) we are launching a networking capability from that site with links to and from here, that will allow people to do some very cool things. For example: If you are at school in Michigan and see a job posted here or on the newly branded site, or Hireskills, for a position in…oh, I don't know…..Sacramento CA - you'll be able to network with printing people there and get the scoop on the company, the economy, all that stuff. Also, you'll be able to talk to professors of graphic arts ( our advisors) and pressroom sups, plant managers, and anyone else in the industry that registers for the networking capability.
3) the newly branded site is going to allow candidates to post video resumes, rich media portfolios for documents of all formats, you will be able to do live interviewing through the site so again, if you're in Michigan and want to interview with that Sacramento company - you can do it via our site - free. Very cool. For you, and for the company.
4) We're going to host videos of the companies, too. Then you can scope out all their capabilities and decide before your interview if you want to even talk to the dudes.
5) If you don't want to do a video resume, that's fine. You can do a power point presentation or have other people tell prospective employers just how awesome you really are.
We are changing EVERYTHING. So, thanks for hanging in there with us - we're THIS close!!!! tell your friends!

Well folks, we've been without activity on this site for over a month - and mostly because we didn't have a lot to report. Sure, we could have posted on a number of topics, but the goal of this site is to be different. Well, we've been busy as have our development partners. Today we're going to put the final touches on the interaction between this site, Hireskills.com (which will soon have a name change) and the capabilities to post a video resume, watch a video from a hiring company, post a rich media portfolio, interview live from your pc or mac without having to travel and do some real graphic arts networking. We're conferencing at 2pm today - stay tuned. I told you months ago we were going to change the paradigm - we're working on it - good things take time!
WorkBlast Signs NY Giants Kicker Lawrence Tynes as Spokesman
2008-01-29 | Filed Under Uncategorized |
We announced our exclusive arrangement with WorkBlast a couple of months ago, and we were hoping to have video resumes online prior to the new year. It turns out that Nick Murphy and his folks at WorkBlast were on a path to not only bring us the capability to have video resumes, but much, much more. These other amazing capabilities will be coming during the first week of February - to Hi-Res Kills and Hireskills.com. Candidates will be able to not only generate video and/or audio introductions to themselves, but a couple of MAJOR capabilities are going to be made available in addition to these. Stay tuned. And watch that Superbowl game - NY's kicker is a WorkBlast spokesman!
When I tell you that we're going to change the way graphic arts companies hire people, I am not kidding. We are very excited and when you see what we unveil the first week in February, you will be, too!
Lawrence Tynes' NFL affiliation notwithstanding, GO PATS!

"I am 56 and was treated for a stroke at WakeMed by Dr. Hook. My wife was terrified as I could not talk or communicate. Dr. Hook told my wife what was happening and described the procedure to treat the stroke. She asked him what he would do if it were him. He reassured her, and told her that the longer they waited the stroke could cause more damage. Dr. Hook did the procedure and the blood clot in the brain went away. He did several follow ups and could not find any more problems. I was sent through rehab at the hospital, then follow up with home health and speech therapy. Dr. Hook knew my doctor, and they communicated regularly. I have had several follow up visits with Dr. Hook. He is very dependable, and remembers me. He listened to me and my wife, and takes his very important time to do what is needed. I feel Dr. Hook is one on the best Doctors in North Carolina. He notices what is happening with his patients and he follows through with them, and their family doctor afterwards. Thank you Dr. Hook for giving me a second chance.

The Patriot-News, Joe Hermitt, Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Penn State assistant football coach testified Friday that he believes he saw former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky molesting a boy on campus and that he fully conveyed what he had seen to two Penn State administrators.
Mike McQueary, speaking for the first time in public about the 2002 encounter in a Penn State locker room, said he believes that Sandusky was attacking the child with his hands around the boy's waist but said he wasn't 100 percent sure it was intercourse.
McQueary took the stand Friday morning in a Pennsylvania courtroom during a preliminary hearing for university officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who are accused of lying to a grand jury about what McQueary told them.
District Judge William C. Wenner was hearing testimony Friday to help him decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence against the pair to send their cases to trial. The hearing was expected to last most of the day.
McQueary's story is central to the case against Curley and Schultz. They testified to the grand jury that McQueary never relayed the seriousness of what he saw. The officials, and Penn State coach Joe Paterno, have been criticized for never telling police about the 2002 allegation. Prosecutors say Sandusky continued to abuse boys for six more years.
The lawyers for Curley and Schultz say the men are innocent. Curley and Schultz told the grand jury that they remembered McQueary reporting only something inappropriate, like wrestling, but nothing as serious as rape.
McQueary, who was on the stand for about two hours Friday, said he had stopped by a campus football locker room to drop off a pair of sneakers in the spring of 2002 when he heard slapping sounds in a shower and happened upon Sandusky and the boy.
He said Sandusky was behind the boy he estimated to be 10 or 12 years old, with his hands wrapped around the boy's waist. He said the boy was facing a wall, with his hands on it.
McQueary, 37, said he has never described what he saw as anal rape or anal intercourse and couldn't see Sandusky's genitals, but that "it was very clear that it looked like there was intercourse going on."
In its report last month, the grand jury summarized McQueary's testimony as saying he "saw a naked boy ... with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky."
Under cross examination by an attorney for Curley, McQueary reiterated that he had not seen Sandusky penetrating or fondling the boy but was nearly certain they were having intercourse because the two were standing so close and Sandusky's arms were wrapped around the youth.
He said he peeked into the shower several times and that the last time he looked in, Sandusky and the boy had separated. He said he didn't say anything, but "I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
McQueary said the entire encounter — from when he first entered the locker room to when he retreated to his office — lasted about 45 seconds.
McQueary said he reported what he saw to Paterno but never went to police.
He said he did not give Paterno explicit details of what he believed he'd seen, saying he wouldn't have used terms like sodomy or anal intercourse out of respect for the longtime coach.
Paterno told the grand jury that McQueary reported seeing Sandusky doing something of a "sexual nature" with the youngster but that he didn't press for details.
"I didn't push Mike ... because he was very upset," Paterno said. "I knew Mike was upset, and I knew some kind of inappropriate action was being taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster."
McQueary said Paterno told him he'd "done the right thing" by reporting the encounter. The head coach appeared shocked and saddened and slumped back in his chair, McQueary said.

The Los Angeles Clippers gathered themselves together in the second half, and defeated the Detroit Pistons 112-103 on Saturday night.
The highlight of the night was not only the win, but for the milestone that Chris Paul reached in the first half when he dished out his 6000th career assist to Blake Griffin.
Paul is the seventh player to reach to the milestone behind, Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Norm Nixon, Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas who was in attendance.
During a timeout, Thomas reached out to Paul and the two exchanged pleasant words.
Paul has been compared to not only Thomas but Allen Iverson as well.
"He's somebody that I watched and I admired," said Paul.
"Isiah is one of the greatest and one of the best to ever play the game. I think that fierceness that he played with and that edge. ...I'm not as quick or fast as he ever was or as crafty. I always have this burnt image in my head of Isiah Thomas, he was in a double team and he kept doing these crossovers."
Paul went on to say that the difference with Isiah is the fact he won championships, which something that the nine year guard is seriously closer to capturing sooner than later.
Both Thomas and Paul have showcased leadership on the floor, and Paul remaining the constant professional, explained where his sights remain. Understanding that he had no idea that he had 6000 assist, and Paul competitive edge was about winning the game, and ensuring that his teammates came up big like Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, DeAndre Jordan and others.
"I'm so focused on winning games and not really the individual achievements."
Paul finished the game with 28 points and 15 assist, as the Clippers continue to march toward the playoff push.
Thomas shared his thoughts about Paul with LACTV, "It's awesome to see him achieve this level. It's always an honor to be compared to him because he's such a great player, such a great leader on the floor and what he's done for this franchise and what he's done for Los Angeles, it speaks volumes."
Thomas a two time champion, and part of one the greatest back court duo in NBA history, recognizes the greatness that will continue to shine from Paul.
"I'm just honored because he's such a special player and such a special person," said Thomas.
Clippers teammate Jamal Crawford who played under Thomas in New York as a member of the Knicks was also surprised by Thomas' presence. Crawford spoke highly of the two guards in Thomas and Paul.
"I say, there's only one Michael Jordan, but I think Kobe is the closest player we'll ever see to Jordan. And I think there's only one Isiah Thomas, but for this generation I think Chris is the closest player we'll see to him," said Crawford. "I think his moxie, his toughness, his leadership, how he can control the game, those are all things that Isiah used to do."
As the Clippers continue to improve, Chris Paul continues to show that he is the premier point guard of the league on and off the floor, especially for this team.

Franklin - The city's snow removal operation the past three years has moved to a different "beet."
Beet juice, that is.
City Engineer Jack Bennett was anxious to tell the Common Council this week about how a byproduct of processing sugar beets into sugar has helped keep the city's streets safer during winter while containing the high cost of winter maintenance.
His timing for explaining the procedure was important, he said, because of the numerous recent snowfalls.
"Some people are thinking that we are using sand, because the treated salt has the look and texture of sand," Bennett said. "That's an old method that we don't use anymore. What we are doing now is helping to keep the streets from freezing."
Effective mixture
Bennett explained to council members Tuesday how the beet juice - packaged as Geomelt - is mixed with city-made watery salt brine as a pre-treatment for the streets when the forecast calls for snow. The product also is used in a mixture with rock salt. The combination not only prevents icy pavement, it helps melt away problems after the fact.
The treated salt lasts longer and can be used in lower temperatures. Among the advantages, Bennett said, is that streets can be treated well before an impending snowfall and that the substance is much less corrosive than salt treated with calcium chloride.
Franklin began using the substance after officials saw how effective it was in Beloit. The city soon became one of the first local municipalities to follow suit.
Department endorsement
Public Works Director Jerome Schaefer said the beet juice helps his staff and equipment.
"The calcium chloride pretty much ruins any leather shoes and gloves," Schaefer said. "It also damages the trucks that we use and damages other vehicles out on the road."
Schaefer said the department has not yet determined an exact savings by using beet juice. While the substance costs about $1.60 a gallon compared to 77 cents for calcium chloride, he estimated that the long-term savings would be gained in the short-term maintenance and longer life span of the 16 snowplow vehicles. Each costs about $160,000.
"We have two spray trucks converted from old plow trucks that we use to apply the Geomelt," he said. "They should last longer, too."
Schaefer said a number of other communities are beginning to use beet juice. He doesn't anticipate another new or improved substance that will replace it.
"I don't think we will see anything new come along for some time," Schaefer said.
Safety factor?
Meanwhile, at least one local law enforcement officer said the city's streets seem to be safer.
"Traffic accidents have been down since 2007," said Inspector Gaylord Hahn, a 40-year veteran of the force. "There are a lot of factors that could be in play, but it appears that the streets are in better shape. That may be the result of using the beet juice. I guess that would be one of the reasons we see fewer accidents."
Bennett's presentation did not generate a lot of reaction from the Common Council. Alderman Steve Taylor asked if leftovers of the treated salt could be stored if it was not completely used.
"Absolutely, said Bennett. "It can be stored and used for the next application."

|Room Note
|Meerschaumer (7)
|Mild to Medium
|Very Pleasant
On opening my 50g tin, the fresh, tangy aroma of oranges and spices was released and whetted my tastebuds for the experience to come. It's an almost black-looking blend and, as I sniffed in the tin-note deeply, I thought I could detect more than a hint of Latakia, although I didn't know at that moment that it was part of the recipe.
Despite being very moist, it packed easily into my meerschaum and after a charring light, a slight tamp and one more dance of the flame from my gas lighter across the surface I settled back for over an hour's gentle smoke. The flavour is decidedly English, despite that orangey tin-note, and the Latakia is not overly-prominent but melds well into the overall flavour. A most pleasant blend for the English enthusiasts.
Pipe Used: Meerschaum, 9mm filter & gauze in bowl.

TUCSON - University of Arizona Wildcat women's basketball senior forward Ify Ibekwe was named 2010-11 Women's Basketball Associated Press All-America Team Honorable Mention, it was announced on Tuesday.
Ibekwe is being recognized by the Associated Press for the second time in her career after earning All-America Honorable Mention honors as a sophomore during the 2008-09 season. This season, she earned Arizona's 20th All-America selection from the various publications and the Wildcats' sixth selection by the Associated Press.
"Ify Ibekwe had a phenomenal season," head coach Niya Butts said. "I still don't think we've seen her best yet. She's immensely talented and really helped put our program on the map. I look forward to seeing what her next move in basketball might be. She's got a great future ahead of her."
Ify Ibekwe paced Arizona women's basketball to a 21-12 record in 2010-11, the best since the 2003-04 season, and the first postseason appearance since the 2004-05 season. Ibekwe led the Cats in scoring with 16.1 points per game and at the glass with 9.8 rebounds per game. She had 14 double-doubles, 25 games in double-digit scoring and 15 games in double-digit rebounding.
She was twice named the Pac-10 Player of the Week during the regular season. For postseason awards, she was named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year, All-Pac-10 and a member of the Pac-10 All-Defensive team. In the awards given out by the Pac-10 media, Ibekwe was named All-Pac-10 and a member of the All-Pac-10 Defensive Team.
"It's such an honor to be recognized," Ibekwe said. "I owe so much to my teammates and coaches because without them, this recognition wouldn't have happened. We had such an incredible season with ups and downs but we fought through adversity. Being at Arizona for four years, I've been surrounded by amazing players, coaches, fans and wonderful people. I appreciate so much the opportunity to be an Arizona Wildcat."
Ibekwe will end her career as the only player in Arizona history to record 1,000+ points and 1,000+ rebounds and the only player to average a career double-double (14.3 points, 10.3 rebounds). She is Arizona's career leader in rebounds with 1,194 and career leader in double-doubles with 55.

On Tuesday, NASCAR penalized three Camping World Truck Series teams for penalties discovered by NASCAR officials in post-race inspection after Sunday's Kroger 250 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway -- the No. 31 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet team, the No. 54 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota team and the No. 98 ThorSport Racing Toyota team.
According to NASCAR's penalty announcement, all three teams had offset front hubs, a level P3 penalty in NASCAR's new penalty scale that was implemented at the start of the season. As a result, crew chiefs Michael Shelton (No. 31), Jerry Baxter (No. 54) and Gene Wachtel (No. 98) were each fined $10,000 and placed on probation until the end of the year.
In its penalty announcement, NASCAR cited section 20B-12.5 (D) of the 2014 rule book.
All three trucks finished in the top-five, with Darrell Wallace Jr. finishing second in the No. 54, Ben Kennedy third in the No. 31 and Johnny Sauter fourth in the No. 98. Sauter's Thorsport teammate, Matt Crafton, won the race in the No. 88 Toyota.

Georgia signed Dustin Ware to be its point guard of the future. He did not make the Bulldogs wait long before taking over as the team's lead on-court decision maker.
Although just a freshman, Ware has taken over as the starting point guard - possibly the most demanding position for a young player to not only grow, but lead.
"He's doing a great job," interim Georgia coach Pete Herrmann said. "He's improving every time out. He's doing a great job with the assist-turnover ratio. He's doing a great job taking care of the ball and leading the team. He's pushing the ball on the break and shooting the ball well."
Ware will lead Georgia (11-17, 2-11 Southeastern Conference) against Arkansas (13-13, 1-12) in a battle between the SEC's two cellar dwellers. Tipoff is at 4 p.m. today at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Ark.
Ware has started the last 10 games at point guard. He averages 8.3 points and 3.5 assists a game in conference play. In a season when so little has gone right for the Bulldogs, Ware's quick maturation has been a bright spot.
"I look forward to getting better," Ware said. "I know the situation is going to get better too. I was talking to a couple of the assistant coaches and they were saying that there's not going to be a tougher time in your career not only to play but to be a leader in the situation. You can use it as a stepping stone and get better from it. That's what I've been trying to do for these last few games is to get better, so we can have some momentum going into the tournament."
Point guard places a wider variety of demands on a player than any other position. A point guard not only has to shoulder the majority of the ball handling, but also calls plays and directs the offense. He has to set up his teammates where they like to take shots, in addition to creating his own offense. On defense, a point guard usually checks the opposition's quickest player.
"Most points coming out of high school are faster than every one else and can create offense because of their quickness," Herrmann said. "When they get to this level, it becomes more of running your team rather than just using your speed on the ball. You've got to know how to keep each player happy on the floor and where they like to shoot the ball from. It's an ongoing process because it takes some time to learn your teammates."
Ware has needed time to grow into the leadership role that goes along with being the point guard. He came off the bench during the first half of the season. He drew his first start against Mississippi State in the third game of SEC play. After a disastrous 0-11 run after New Year's Eve, Georgia is 2-2 in its last four games. Ware has averaged 11 points and 4.8 assists in those games.
"He's definitely more relaxed now and knows more about what he's doing right now," Georgia wing Terrance Woodbury said. "He sets everything up for everybody else. Regardless of age or whatever, you've got to be able to follow that type of guy, and I feel like he's doing a good job."
Ware's playing time has gone up at the expense of Zac Swansey's. For most of the first half of the season, Swansey and Ware split time at point guard with Swansey drawing nearly all of the starts. Since Ware moved into the starting lineup, Swansey has averaged 12.5 minutes a game. He played two minutes against Vanderbilt this past Wednesday.
"It's tough when you're starting the first games of the year and you're in the top three or four in the SEC in assists before my minutes started going down," Swansey said. "It's tough and there's obviously a reason for it, but it's not my job to decide that. I'm just going to continue to work hard and make myself better."
Swansey has found the adjustment to being a backup tough. He scored a career-high 13 points off the bench against South Carolina but went 0 of 4 from the field, scored two points and had three turnovers in 19 minutes the next game against Tennessee.
"Half of this game is mental and this is something that makes you figure out how mentally tough you are," Swansey said. "I consider myself a mentally tough person and I'll continue to work hard to be ready when my name is called to play."

CHICAGO — Two-thirds of laundry managers and administrators surveyed via the Wire this month (65%) say their operation has a system in place for measuring customer satisfaction in their service, but only 45% of respondents say they record and track customer complaints in some way.
Thirty percent of respondents don't measure customer satisfaction and 5% are unsure. For those operations that contact customers about their level of satisfaction, 42.1% inquire informally in conversation, 21.1% ask customers to complete a written survey and 36.8% do both.
Half of respondents don't track customer complaints while 45% do. The remaining 5% aren't sure.
The condition of the laundered goods most often prompts customer complaints, according to 44.4% of respondents. Contents of an order being incorrect (22.2%), failing to deliver or package goods according to a customer's wishes (16.7%), a missed or late delivery (11.1%) and a reaction to increased cost of service (5.6%) are other key reasons. No one who responded selected incorrect charges or billing or the conduct of their staff as the chief cause of complaints received.
Two-thirds of respondents (65%) say they or a member of their staff contact a customer immediately upon receiving a complaint. Thirty percent contact the customer within 24 hours, and 5% contact the customer within a week.
One-third of respondents (35%) rank their operation's customer service as "Excellent" based on the number of complaints received and their ability to resolve them successfully. Sixty percent consider their customer service to be "Above average" and 5% rank themselves as "Average." No one who responded to the survey judged their customer service to be "Below average" or "Poor."
Respondents were asked to describe "the most ridiculous complaint you've ever received." Here's a sampling:
• "An expectation that the customer will not receive any items that … have a stain or are in need of repair."
• "A doctor wanted to see if I could get scrubs that were flannel-lined because he was cold."
• "In a 350-room resort, the housekeeping manager wanted the laundry to increase the linen pars on the floors by 50%. He complained when it was not done the very next morning."
• "People that call for additional linen because they are out, but when you get there the linen cart is full."
• "Patient gown was not turned right-side out. [The] nurse was upset because she had to hand it to a patient inside out [and] made a federal case out of it."
• "The extra-small scrubs are not small enough."

This exquisitely crocheted head shawl is a beautiful expression of feminine modesty. You can choose to wear it as a chapel veil, a delicate addition to a formal night out - or even an elegant bridal adornment. The original pattern was crocheted with mohair yarn, and there are so many excellent modern yarns to choose from to recreate this stunning shawl. We have also offered an alternative yarn - a fine alpaca, that will give the shawl a lovely drape. Using the alternative alapaca yarn, this shawl can be made for less that $20! What a great gift idea!

College Hockey:Terriers Break Out Against Warriors
Unsung Heroes Lead The Way
BOSTON — Boston University fans would have been hard-pressed to predict two of the top three stars for tonight's game.
Terrier junior forward Kenny Magowan narrowly avoided a healthy scratch after disappointing Coach Jack Parker with his play in the last two games. Playing behind stalwart netminder Sean Fields, sophomore goaltender Stephan Siwiec hadn't played a minute in almost a year and came into tonight's action with one career win and a .839 save percentage.
But when the zamboni came out after the final buzzer, Magowan had scored the game's first two goals in the first six minutes. Staked to a 4-0 lead in the first period, Siwiec came up big later on when his teammates regressed a bit, stopping 30 of 31 shots to lead the Terriers to a rousing 6-1 win over their Merrimack in front of 3,453 fans at Walter Brown Arena.
Magowan's linemate Brad Zancanaro also had a terrific game, pitching in a shorthanded goal and two assists. Derek Kilduff scored the lone goal for the losers.
The game marked the first time this season that Parker had reunited last year's line combination of Zancanaro, Magowan, and Skladany. It certainly won't be the last time.
"Actually, I came pretty close to benching Magowan tonight," Parker said. "I was undecided; he was playing on our third line, and I thought he didn't play that well last night. There was a question of how can I get this guy going: he's not playing that well; he didn't play well against UNH. I was thinking of benching him and telling him he's not good enough.
"I chatted with him and decided I'd put him back on his old line to see if I could get him going," Parker added. "He obviously got jacked up a little bit. I thought Skladany was flying and so was Zancanaro; he looked like a waterbug out there. So we'll keep them together."
Keyed by that line, four first-period goals all but ended the game in the first 15 minutes.
"We dug ourselves a pretty good hole in the first period and couldn't get out of it," Merrimack Coach Chris Serino said. "Probably the biggest call of the game was the goal callback when the score was two-nothing; that changed the whole complexion of the game. I'd have to see it on tape, but I didn't think he kicked it in; I think it just went off his skate. It seemed to go downhill after that."
"Well, we got some goals, and that was nice," Parker said. "We played pretty hard until we got up 5-1, then I thought we deteriorated a little bit. I thought Siwiec played extremely well. Once it got to be out of hand score-wise, we didn't play as thoroughly; he had to make a lot of big saves. I was pleased with him."
One night after outshooting the Warriors in their own building but settling for a tie, the Terriers came out like gangbusters. They scored just 55 seconds into play. Dan Spang took a little wrister from the left point, and Warrior goalie Casey Guenther left a fat rebound in the slot. Defenseman Rob LaLonde wisely opted to tackle Magowan, but the big forward still managed to knock home a backhander while he was getting dragged down.
Magowan got a little lucky on his second goal on a power play at 5:55. With his back to the net, he tipped Kevin Schaeffer's shot, but Guenther blocked it with his pad. However, the rebound caromed off of the shaft of the goalie's stick and bled across the goal line to make it 2-0.
The power-play goal was just the third of the season for the Terriers, who had been skunked on their previous 22 man advantages this season.
A few minutes later on a power play, Merrimack put one past Siwiec only to have it disallowed when referee John Gravallese ruled that Tony Johnson had directed the puck in with his skate. On the Fox Sports New England replay, it appeared that Johnson did not kick the puck in, but he did turn his skate to redirect the puck.
"I knew it hit his foot; I wasn't sure if he kicked it or not," Siwiec said.
At 9:36, the Terriers got a nice one when David Klema carried the puck in on the left wing and scanned the ice for a pass recipient. Kenny Roche was cruising into the slot, with his stick wound up, just begging Klema to tee one up for him. He did just that, and Roche responded with a blast from all of about ten feet away from Guenther. The netminder got a piece of it, but once again the puck trickled in.
"Any time you play in this building, the first ten minutes of the game is crucial," Serino said. "They come at you extremely hard, and you have to survive that first ten minutes-I don't care who you are. If you do, it settles into a pretty good game."
Shorthanded at 14:31, Zancanaro picked Tony Johnson's pocket in the neutral zone and went in all alone. He deked and patiently waited for Guenther to commit before calming flipping it past the fallen goalie for the 4-0 lead.
Siwiec faced his biggest test of the night in the last ten seconds of the period, when Merrimack's leading scorer Brent Gough had a partial breakaway. Gough's shot hit Siwiec high on the chest, and the Alberta native smothered the rebound.
Serino pulled Guenther after the period, inserting Jim Healey for the remainder of the game. "I didn't see any reason to keep him in there while he was struggling," Serino said.
Merrimack came out much stronger in the second period and really took it to the Terriers on an early power play quarterbacked by Bryan Schmidt. Siwiec had to come up with three solid saves, including a Marco Rosa blast that pegged him right on the mask.
"The face save was. I don't know, I guess my head was just in the right place at the right time," Siwiec said, drawing chuckles from the press corps.
BU made it 5-0 at 6:38 when Klema got the puck behind the goal line and fed it to David Van der Gulik crashing the net. Eighty seconds later, Merrimack finally lit the lamp when Kilduff found his way to a loose puck behind a scrum of players in the slot and blasted a shot to beat the screened goalie.
The game got a little chippy with some dumb penalties committed by both teams along with some dubious calls by Gravallese against both teams. Both teams squandered lengthy five-on-three opportunities. Siwiec stoned Nick Pomponio at 8:43 of the third after a careless turnover by a Terrier d-man. Later, Rob Lalonde — who had already taken one bad penalty — drew a five-minute major for cross-checking Skladany just after a failed breakaway bid. This led to the final goal, as a Bryan Miller shot was tipped by Mark Mullen and then John Laliberte before, again, bleeding across the goal line with 43.7 seconds left to play.
The Terriers (3-2-2, 2-2-1 Hockey East) play a home-and-home series with Mass.-Lowell next weekend, while Merrimack (2-7-2, 1-5-2 Hockey East) plays at Boston College on Tuesday before hosting Bemidji State for a pair next weekend.

JWC TO ANNE GILCHRIST ; 10 July 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590710-JWC-AGIL-01; CL 35: 142-143
Humbie Aberdour / Fife [ca. 10 July 1859]
My dear Mrs. Gilchrist—
I don't remember whether I engaged to write to you or not; but anyhow the spirit moves me to write—and exactly at the wrong moment! when I have the softest pen and the thickest ink that has fallen in my way since I left home!
I suppose you are long removed to your country quarters1 and have derived, I hope, more benifit from "the change" than I have done as yet. I suppose the dreadfully fatiguing journey knocked me up to such an extent, that it has taken all this time of "pure air," "quiet" and "new milk and rum" to overcome the bad consequences— Certainly, between ourselves, I am not sensible of having gained an atom of strength, either bodily or mental, since I left Chelsea!
And yet; what a difference between the dead-wall one looks out on in Cheyne Row,2 and the "view" from our window here, unsurpassed I am sure by the Bay of Naples, or any other view on Earth! and between The "exhalations from the Thames,"3 complicated with the vitriol Factory4 and Chancellors dung-hill;5 and these airs from the Atlantic blowing on our hill top! One ought to be well here—and now that one has a "cuddy" (donkey) "all to oneself" (as the Children say) to walk about on the four legs of; one's two own legs being no go, one ought to admit one has every thing needed for happiness—except indeed one thing the faculty of being happy!—
Mr C is much pleased with the place and the "soft food" it yields for himself—and horse—and, as he hardly works at all, he would be much better— if he did n't, as he always does in "the country," take health by the throat (as it were) Bathing as if he were a little Boy in the Serpentine,6 walking as if he had seven-league Boots,7 and riding like the Wild Huntsman!8—the consequences of all which is that he keeps up in him a continual fever of biliousness—
Charlotte is the happiest of created girls—everything so new to her everything delightful! especially the open admiration of Aberdour Lads; who call her "Bonnie wee Lassie" in the public highway, "So kind of them!" she says "when they never saw her before and don't so much as know her name!!" Mr C remarked justly that "the compliments to herself were the only words of Scotch she could manage to understand! and these she understood at once, by instinct!"
Nero is a much improved dog. by sea-bathing with his master, he snores less, scratches less and is less selfish. and "the Horse"— Oh Mr C declares "It is in perfect raptures over its soft food—but incapable of recovery from its astonishment at the badness of the Fife roads!"
So we shall do very well at the Farm House for as long as we have it—till the 6th of August—after that our plans are still in the vague—
Good by dear woman I do hope Mr Gilchrist9 will find some work in winter to keep you still our neighbours.
Yours most truly, /
Jane Carlyle

A tribute to Rick's favorite people
Teresa Says: This drawing is a spin off of the now very infamous UTube video made by Chris Crocker, bellowing out, "Leave Britney Alone." I thought since Rick loves all of the "play-ahs" (Hillary, Bill, Britney and Chris) I'd whip up this little cartoon just for him.

The Capitol Schmucks
Teresa says: This is an idea Rick came up with about our highly esteemed elected officials. Walking the "Green Mile" from left-to-right: Eliot Spitzer, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and Bob Packwood. In the background are Barney Frank and next to him is Bill Clinton.
I hope you like this cartoon, Rick. But, I find it kind of curious that you're so interested in all of these sex scandals????
Rick replies: yeah, they all make me think of sex! They're all such hunks. They would have had to pay $4,000 per hour....well, unless they sought out women like Rosie O'Donnell, Streisand, and their hollywood ilk.

The handling of BlackHawk Down
Teresa says: Here is my third attempt at putting to paper an idea Rick had for Clintons' incompetence, i.e. 1993's Black Hawk Down. Drawing this was quite an undertaking. I kept expecting Rick to want me to add even more detail....perhaps American Rangers and Delta Force soldiers??? A violent warlord? Starving Somalians? But, I must admit, at the end-of-the-day Rick gave me quite a history lesson by explaining to me the Battle of Mogadisha. Thanks Rick.
Rick says: Gotta almost beat it into some peoples heads what Somalia is like. I've never been there but I AM from Detroit. Oh how nice it would have been to grow up in the hills and think the Simpsons are real.

Ted Kennedy supports Obama
I did several drafts of this cartoon. I had trouble getting Ted Kennedy's big fat face in perspective with the rest of the illustration. Then my partner, Rick Rodham Adwell, kept wanting me to make changes....he didn't like the way I projected the Kennedy Compound. Hell, I've never been to that place; I drew it how I thought it might look. But, Rick wasn't satisfied. You'd have thought he was one of the architects on the place. Oh well....we hope you get the jist. Teresa

Boulevard Saint-Laurent : Michelin's recommendations
This bustling thoroughfare has traditionally divided the city into its predominantly Francophone eastern section and the Anglophone west. Today the boulevard attracts a diverse crowd to its shops, cafes, restaurants and "in" boutiques. Established in 1672, the artery long formed Montreal's principal passageway, hence its nickname "the Main." For centuries the Main has welcomed immigrants. During the 19C Chinese settled in the southern section, giving rise to a lively Quartier chinois (Chinatown) (at Rue de la Gauchetière). Jewish merchants arrived in the 1880s and moved into the northern section. Greeks moved to the area during the early 20C. More recent arrivals include Slavs, Portuguese and Latin Americans.

One of the main things that all good communicators should do is be careful about the way they speak.
Here is a fun skit that will help illustrate this point for your students. The students will be directed to display a bad communication skill. Then the class will guess which technique they should have done to be better communicators.
Please note: Steps 1 through 3 described below only have to be done once. As you act out the remaining skits, you can jump directly to Step 4 for each subsequent skit.
Additional note: The skits can be enacted in any order.
Step 1:
Put up a large sheet of chart paper and label it with the following words: "What do Good Communicators do?"
Teacher Says or Asks: Do I have a volunteer to read this title out loud with excitement and enthusiasm?
Students Respond: (Choose an eager volunteer to read the poster aloud.)
Step 2:
Teacher Says or Asks: We are going to act out 13 skits that demonstrate some BAD Communication Techniques. There are 2 people in each skit. Therefore, there are 26 parts in all.
After each skit, we will decide what was the GOOD Communication Skill that should have been used by each pair of student actors. This GOOD Communication Skill will be written on the chart paper.
We need a volunteer to record these techniques on the chart paper using one of these thick magic markers.
Students Respond: (Choose a class recorder with very neat handwriting for this activity.)
We will keep this chart posted in the classroom as a good reminder of the thirteen good Communication Skills that will help each of you be a much more effective communicator.
Printable Student Directions download
For your convenience, print out two copies of each skit. That way, each pair of students will have a student script from which to read. You might want to print out a third copy for you to reference.
Each print-out contains three pages:
- Page 1: The actual student script
- Page 2: An example of the communication skills chart
- Page 3: An answer key
Naturally, you will only need to print out the first page for the students. The other two pages are for your eyes only.
Step 3:
Teacher Says or Asks: I will choose two volunteers at a time to act out each skit.
I will hand you two actors a page of directions for you to read and perform. This is every word and/or action that you are going to utilize as you act out your particular communication skill.
Instead of acting out the good communication skill, you are going to act out its opposite. You are going to demonstrate a BAD communication skill.
The class members will attempt to guess what communication skill you are abusing.
Class, the way this will work, you will give the actors a minute or two to act out their skit. As soon as you figure out what they are doing wrong, SILENTLY raise your hand. Once they have concluded their skit, I will strive to call on one of you with a raised hand.
The Class Recorder will then write down what they should have done on the chart paper.
As for the actors, I will whisper some help to each pair of actors, so that they will be sure to act out the action correctly.
Any Questions?
Students Respond: (Respond to Questions. Then choose two students per improvisational skit. There are 13 skits total.)
Step 4:
Skit #6 of 13: The Way You Speak
Teacher Says or Asks: For this skit, I need two volunteers: Both students will play the role of a student.
Students Respond: (Choose two eager volunteers.)
Whisper these instructions to the actors
Teacher whispers to actors only: Which one of you can do the 'attitude thing' really well? You'll play the RUDE STUDENT who will read your part of the script with as much attitude as you can muster. The POLITE STUDENT should read from the script below, speaking earnestly and politely, like you are trying to work things out to heal your friendship.
Here is the script that the two actors will use:
Polite Student: You know, it really hurt my feelings when you didn't invite me to join the gang at the movies.
Rude Student: (With lots of attitude and rudeness) I'm sorry!
Polite Student: It sure doesn't sound like you feel sorry at all.
Rude Student: (With lots of attitude and rudeness) I'm sorry!
Polite Student: (Sadly but not rudely) Whatever!
Step 5:
Directions for Teacher: Even if students raise their hands with an answer, give the actors a minute or two to act out their part.
Remind the class to not interrupt the skits. Give them a chance to finish the entire skit.
After the skit
Teacher Says or Asks: What did the volunteer playing the role of the rude student NOT do?
Students Respond: The Rude Student was NOT careful about THE WAY he or she communicated. The words and the tone of voice, volume, facial expressions, and body language did not match.
Teacher Says or Asks: Exactly. The rude student's apology did not sound at all sincere. He or she was not careful about THE WAY that he or she communicated. Tone of voice, volume, facial expressions, and body language can totally change the meaning of the words you say.
Teacher Says: Class Recorder, please write THE WAY YOU SPEAK on the Chart Paper.
Teacher concluding statement: Good Communicators need to be careful with THE WAY they communicate with each other.

Please note: This article was originally published early in 2010 under an alternate title utilizing the former Examiner publishing tool. Not only has it now been updated and improved, it now includes a free PDF student skit directions download as a considerable time-saving measure for you busy teachers.

I'm interested if there is literature on projects which try to improve formal notation, especially for doing mathematics on an advanced level. For example, I'm thinking along the lines of diagrammatic ideas like Penrose notation, but maybe even for more basic and common topics.
edit: I initially posted this on the linguistics board, and there I conjectured it might be rather suited for the cognitive science board too. I have to point out that just moving it here over night was a very bad move - Now that it's here I can't essentially ask an analog question again. Of course, if I wanted to post it on the math board, the question would have been formulated very differently. The question is not about mathematicans introducing handy notation on the fly while they work on their topic. One has a rough feel for which answers might be delivered within the math community itself. The reason is that it's pretty clear how things go down: On the math board the question can't compete with stuff like "I'm a high schooler and I discovered this fact about complex numbers" (upvote, upvote, upvote), which lead to this thread being sucked into the abyss after 10 hours, where it will not receive any more answers.

TC TO FRANCES WEDGWOOD ; March 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430300-TC-FW-01; CL 16: 68
Chelsea, Monday [March 1843?]—
My dear Mrs Wedgwood,
Thanks for your Ticket; which I shall strive to make use of. Thanks too for your kind invitation:—but consider whether it would consist with Scotch prudence to walk up to Gower-Street in order to be conducted to Albemarle-Street?1 Alas!———
I think of putting myself under the protection of Erasmus, if perhaps he will, on sollicitation,2 hold out a hand to me. Marlborough Street and a quiet pipe were no irrational preliminary. Perhaps I may meet you all there, on your road?
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

A streetcar named Tucson officially debuts
TUCSON - A new streetcar system in Tucson is officially on track.
U.S. Department of Transportation officials and Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild were among those on hand Friday morning at the grand opening of the nearly 4-mile Sun Link streetcar.
Eight streetcars, which can each hold about 150 people, will cover the 18-stop route.
The line connects the University of Arizona, the University of Arizona Medical Center and the downtown area.
Construction on the nearly $200 million project began in 2012.
Federal transportation officials say the streetcar line will spur economic development and improve transit options for thousands of residents.
Streetcar rides will be free Friday through Sunday.
Regular fares are $1.50 for a one-way ride, $4 for an all-day pass and $42 for a 30-day pass.

Will forensic analysts succeed in doing what Bigfoot hunters have only dreamed of achieving?
Skeptics and believers are holding their collective breath waiting for the results of a peer-reviewed, five-year study conducted by Texas veterinarian Melba S. Ketchum.
Ketchum claims to have isolated enough DNA samples from alleged Bigfoot hair, blood, saliva and urine to prove the existence of the legendary beast.
While we're all waiting for an eventual thumbs up or down on Ketchum's DNA assertions, one group of Bigfoot researchers has gathered an impressive number of videos reportedly showing numerous images of Bigfoot (or Bigfoots, if you will) from locations around the country.
Many new videos have been submitted to the online group Facebook/FindBigfoot (FBFB), including one striking video from September that reportedly shows a Bigfoot very near to the person who captured footage of the creature on his mobile phone.
"What's so amazing about this new video is how close the Bigfoot is to the camper's tent," Jack Barnes, chief video analyst for FBFB, said in a press release. "A Bigfoot usually maintains maximum distance from humans, but this one couldn't have been more than 25 feet away."
Check out these Bigfoot/Sasquatch videos spanning 45 years from 1967 to 2012 (story continues below):
Here is a compilation of more than 20 videos compiled by the researchers of the social networking site Facebook.com/FindBigfoot.
This is a detailed, frame-by-frame analysis of the most famous alleged and hotly debated Bigfoot film footage in history.
This is a digital analysis of the encounter with an alleged Bigfoot by Paul Freeman in 1994 in the Blue Mountains of Washington State.
This video was taken from inside a camp tent on Sept. 6, 2012, near San Antonio, Texas. It shows what appears to be a large, hairy creature which, at one point, turns its head toward the camera, giving an excellent view of its face.
The new Bigfoot videos have encouraged the FBFB team, and many are confident that someone will soon grab that indisputable Bigfoot image or video for all the world to see.
"With all the mobile phones and video out there, we've seen a spike in the quantity and quality of Bigfoot submissions. We want to celebrate 2013 as 'The Year of Bigfoot' to remind people that each video submitted helps our community to learn more about these amazing creatures," Barnes said.
Whether or not you believe Bigfoot exists, the FBFB video collection spans 45 years between 1967 and 2012 and begs the question: From a statistical point of view, is it reasonable to assume that every person who has taken and submitted these visual accounts is either confused or deliberately perpetrating a hoax? Or is it possible that even a small percentage of these eyewitnesses might have, in fact, honestly captured something unusual -- and similar -- on film or video and simply want to share it?
An Idaho State University scientist is also looking to 2013 to be the year when the existence of Bigfoot can finally be proven and skepticism laid to rest.
ISU recently approved anatomy and anthropology professor Jeffrey Meldrum's proposal to try and raise enough in private donations on Kickstarter.com to build a high-flying remote-controlled blimp -- known as the Falcon Project -- equipped with special cameras to catch Bigfoot day or night.
"The beauty of this system with the very high-tech camera equipment is that the initial surveying and identification of targets will take place from 2,000 to 3,000 feet in the air," Meldrum told The Huffington Post.
"It won't be this big, ominous blimp cruising over the tree lines, but it will be this little speck at night that's painted black with some lights on top. It'll just blend in with the starry background," Meldrum said. "Most wildlife usually aren't as aware of things up in the air as they are of things at eye level and on the ground, and even if they did happen to glance up, they wouldn't take notice."
Meldrum is working on the Falcon Project with project founder and previous Bigfoot eyewitness William Barnes. The pair hopes this aerial Bigfoot search will get off the ground in 2013 and result in definitive proof of the elusive animal.
Are all Bigfoot images and videos faked? Take a look at more of them through the years:
This still image taken from a 1977 film purports to show Bigfoot in California.
A film still shows what former rodeo rider Roger Patterson said is the American version of the Abominable Snowman of Nepal and Tibet. The film of the tall creature was shot by Patterson and Robert Gimlin northeast of Eureka, Calif., in October 1967.
As a motor biker was driving through the Grand River area of Ohio in April 2012, an alleged Bigfoot ran across the road and was caught on videotape.
Depicted is an illustration of a creature reported to inhabit the Kemerovo region of Siberia. Scientists from the U.S., Russia and other countries have yet to find one of these creatures known as the Russian Snowman.
