College Hockey:McNally scores goal, two assists as Harvard edges Colgate
BOSTON — It wasn't quick, it wasn't easy, and it wasn't pretty, but Harvard finally eked out its first win of the season with a penalty-packed 4-2 decision over Colgate.
Freshmen Patrick McNally and Colin Blackwell each scored their first collegiate goals in the victory, with McNally adding two assists to his ledger as well. Seniors Rence Coassin and Alex Killorn lit the lamp as well for the Crimson (1-2-1, 1-2-1 ECAC), who made the most of 30 saves by rookie Steve Michalek.
The team scored two power-play goals for the second time in two nights (two-for-seven on the advantage), and converted on the PP for the fourth time in four games.
"We're excited to get our first win; I thought our guys really battled, and under some tough circumstances early on," praised Harvard coach Ted Donato. "I thought a lot of guys stepped up and made some plays to allow us to not only stay in the game, but ultimately to win the game."
Junior Robbie Bourdon scored the game's first goal, and senior Austin Smith buried his 10th of the year for Colgate (6-4-1, 2-2-0). Sophomore Eric Mihalik stopped 29 of 33 shots in the loss.
"We had our opportunities," said Raiders coach Don Vaughan. "We competed hard, we had our opportunities to score; I thought their goalie played very well."
Bourdon and the Raiders benefited from a juicy rebound seven and a half minutes into the action. Freshman Spiro Goulakos popped a mid-range slap shot low off Mihalik's pads from straight on, but the rebound careened over to Bourdon low to the goalie's left. The winger made no mistake with a yawning net and a flat puck, potting his fourth of the year.
That was all she wrote for the first 20 minutes of play, as Colgate outshot Harvard, 14-9.
In the second period's opening minute, Colgate senior Matt Firman went knee-to-knee with Crimson center Alex Killorn at the Raiders' blue line. The incidental hit sent Killorn to the hallway and Firman to the box. Marshall Everson was sprung on a breakaway in front of the Harvard bench moments later during a Colgate line change, but his backhand deke didn't fool Mihalik
The Crimson did beat the sophomore two minutes later with both sides at full strength. Coassin earned his first of the year by wiring a wrister through a forest of legs and ultimately over Mihalik's blocker.
The momentum swing didn't last long however, as junior defenseman Danny Biega was dismissed from the game for boarding Chris Wagner against the Harvard half-boards. With senior winger Eric Kroshus already in the Crimson penalty box for a tripping minor incurred 22 seconds earlier, the Raiders power-play unit went to work, smelling blood in the water.
Colgate proceeded to hold the puck in the offensive zone for the next 53 seconds before Smith sneaked a squeaker through Michalek's pads after a great initial stop.
McNally made up for his minor with his goal at 16:32 of the period, baffling Mihalik with another screened shot to tie the game at two. Killorn kept the Crimson rolling 1:19 later, handcuffing the goalie with a wrister that wiggled through the left armpit and into the cage. The strike gave Harvard its first lead of the game — also its first lead of the season.
"Eric would like to have the third one back, I'm sure," mused Vaughan.
At the second intermission, the teams had amassed nine penalties apiece and 53 combined minutes in infractions (24 for Colgate, 29 against Harvard). The hosts put more rubber on net than their guests in the second act by a 14-6 count.
"The second period was a crazy period," said Vaughan. "Any time you take two five-minute majors in a period, it's not good. That was obviously a big part of the game tonight: just a couple of really bad decisions. Tough to kill off 17 minutes of penalties in a period."
"It was simply one of the craziest periods I've ever been involved with," agreed Donato, "as a player or a coach. I've been involved in all sorts of craziness, whether it's in the American League with bench-clearing brawls and goalie stuff and whatever, but it just seemed like the second period was about one year long.
"It was one of the most exhausting games that I've been a part of."
Blackwell doubled the difference in the 53rd minute, crushing a wide-open shot by Mihalik's blocker from the goalie's left circle. The puck dented the far elbow of the goal, then bounced off Mihalik's back and rolled into the net.
The energetic rookie broke in on Mihalik with Killorn on a short-handed two-on-one just seconds later, but Blackwell's centering feed had a little too much mustard, and the center couldn't tip it home. Junior classmates Marshall Everson and Luke Greiner engineered a similar opportunity with eight minutes to go in regulation, with similar results.
The Raiders couldn't bust Harvard's prevent defense, getting precious few late-game opportunities as the clock bled to zero.
The Raiders return home next weekend to host Quinnipiac and Princeton, while Harvard hits the North Country to tangle with Clarkson and St. Lawrence.

second update page 29
Why are you being snippy to other posters, Purple Pajamas? I don't have time to GOAT this whole thing but if you personally have information I can use to call CPS my fucking self via conference call with a Canadian friend, give it to me and we're all set. If everyone has the same info and the reporting isn't up to par, take care of it yourself or stop being a weirdo about it.
^^ Because I disagree that taking an aggressive approach with someone via internet dialogue is not benefial in this type of situation I'm a weirdo? Wow! I didn't become snippy at anyone until someone else was kind enough to do so to me. I even got gold stars. Perhaps you missed those posts?
Bazinga! ~ Sheldon Cooper
This is the third thread on this subject. Calm dialogue did not get through as the OP did not, by her own admission, find it enough of an emergency last night to page a police officer as she was given the option. Her story has also changed quite a bit from the original thread.
I think many of us are worried she may not have called CPS at all and just want to do what we can to make sure a child is protected.
Of course, I'm still hoping this entire thing is made up.
^^ The third thread? Wow! Hopefully a PP will have success in contacting authorities to track the IP address.
Bazinga! ~ Sheldon Cooper
In honor of "DT": secure.prochoiceamerica.org/site/Do...
What kind of fuckery is this?
Yes, third thread. The posters who are enraged are easy to spot as they're the same posters that have been on all 3 threads. There are things you can't see anymore. There is NO reasoning with this OP. It's been a shit storm of concern about everyone BUT the three year old child.
My compass is pointing towards gimmeabreak.

^^I missed a lot of posts, not gonna lie. I'm usually someone who tells people to back off a poster in trouble, but after 3 threads and no progress I can't blame people for taking a hard line approach.
Gold stars are annoying as hell.
save it.
What kind of fuckery is this?
Purple Pajamas, I understand where you're coming from. But this has been going on for three threads now. Being nicey-nice did not work. The OP was more concerned about her coworker being labeled a murderer and thought calling the cops was too extreme. She also worried that removing the children would be worse for them, so was unsure about even CPS. I'm sorry, but that kind if thinking is CRAZY in a situation like this.
^^ I agree with you. I was just reading post after post that was of an aggressive tone and couldn't for the life of me figure out how those posts could possibly benefit the situation. I understand people get emotionally involved in these things. I've dealt with these things IRL with a family member. I truly do understand the rage that people feel. However, a lesson learned for me IRL is that being hot headed about it is not the right move. In my case it gets the police called on you for kidnapping, even though we didn't kidnap my niece. We rescued her from a dangerous situation. My sister called the police to report the kidnapping and we were told that we had to return her or be arrested for kidnapping. We immediately got CPS and the police involved. She was eventually removed from her mother and lived with us for a year.

The Oscar Pistorius murder trial may be delayed 30 days if the judge grants a motion made by the prosecution today, Tuesday, May 13 to order him evaluated by medical experts, according to CNN. The judge adjourned the court for the rest of the day and said she will make a ruling Wednesday on the request made in the middle of the trial, according to the London Daily Mirror.
The mental issue was raised Monday by a psychiatrist who testified for the defense that the Olympian was suffering from "general anxiety disorder." The expert witness testified all the way back to Pistorius childhood as to effect the amputation of his legs had on his mind.
Pistorius, who is nicknamed the "Bladerunner" because he runs on two fiberglass attachments, has admitted he shot and killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, on Sept 29, 2013 in his home. Steenkamp was a glamorous model and law school graduate.
Pistorius, 27, has claimed he thought she was an intruder when he shot and killed her in the bathroom of the mansion.
Judge Thokozile Masipa, who said she will rule tomorrow, gave no hint as to what that ruling would be. If she grants prosecutor Gerrie Nel's motion, Pistorius would undergo a 30 day psychiatric examination. However, the trial could be delayed much longer than that because his tests would have to be scheduled.
One would think in a trial of this magnitude, someone in the bureaucracy of South Africa could schedule his testing almost immediately. But as everyone knows, bureaucrats have been compared to turtles in regard to their speed.
Defense attorney Barry Roux opposed the state's motion.
The star athlete and national hero said he and his girlfriend had been asleep in bed at the time he was awakened in the middle of the night. He said he thought Reeva was still asleep beside him when he grabbed his gun and fired into the bathroom where she actually was.
The defense is claiming it was a mistake and not murder.
Psychiatrist Merryll Vorster testified Monday that the Olympian had an excessive concern about security based on several reasons. One of those reasons was when he had his legs amputated below the knees when he was 11 months old. Vorster said Pistorius would have considered that a "traumatic assault" because he wouldn't understand what had happened to him.
Vorster also said Pistorius reaction to fear was to face it rather than to flee which caused him to go to the bathroom where he heard noises and fire shots. Vorster also said Pistorius suffered security concerns because of friendships lacking depth and short term sexual relationships.
The expert for the defense also said a person with Pistorius mental condition shouldn't have firearms.
It is understandable the prosecution would want to have its own expert examine the defendant with the mental issues being raised.
South Africa doesn't have the death penalty, although he could receive anywhere from 15 years to life in prison.

My Brother Sam Is Dead
by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
My Brother Sam Is Dead Chapter 4 Summary
- It's time for Tim to see his big bro, and he's so excited he can hardly contain himself. He even says he feels "all sparkly inside" (4.1). That is some serious excitement.
- But in order to see Sam, Tim has to figure out an excuse to leave the tavern.
- While Tim is mulling over some potential excuses, a group of horsemen ride into town and up to the tavern. And these aren't just any men on horses. These are members of the Continental Army (i.e., they are fighting for the colonies and against England). Tim calls these guys Continentals and Rebels. So that means our list of terms for Team American Colonies now includes Massachusetts Minutemen, Patriots, Continentals, and Rebels.
- All these Continentals are wearing blue (while the British supporters wear red). Plus, Tim notices that lots of the Continentals also have a Brown Bess, just like the gun Sam took from their father. So we've got a bunch of Continentals going into the tavern, and we already know that Tim's dad is a Loyalist and supports England. We're thinking this is going to get ugly, and Tim thinks so too.
- To find out what's going on inside, Tim peers into the tavern through a slightly open door.
- And what he sees isn't a pretty sight.
- One soldier is restraining his mom with a rifle and another is threatening his dad with a sword.
- As Tim watches, the soldier with the sword tells Mr. Meeker that he better give them his Brown Bess—or else.
- Tim's dad tries to explain that his son stole the gun, but the Continentals just won't believe him.
- One even goes so far as to hit Mr. M across the face with his sword. Whoa there fella.
- Tim can't stand watching this anymore. He knows there's just one person who can help out "and he was up at Tom Warrups'" (4.16).
- Tim's chance to see his big bro just got a whole lot more complicated.
- So Tim runs as fast as he can over to Warrups's place.
- As he runs, he comes to two conclusions about the war:
- (1) The war has officially arrived in his little town of Redding. They can't ignore it anymore.
- (2) The Continentals want to make sure that the Tories in Redding don't have any weapons to fight with. So that's why they're gathering up all the guns.
- When Tim gets to Warrups's shack, he finds Sam sleeping inside. Sam is the only one in the hut except for a very important piece of weaponry: their dad's Brown Bess. The only trouble is that Sam has the Brown Bess tucked under his arm, sleeping with it so no one will take it.
- Tim figures he's got to take his chance. After a couple of tries, he grabs the gun and Sam still seems to be asleep.
- So Tim takes off running as fast as he can, but soon realizes that Sam is up and running after him. Sadly for Tim, his older brother is stronger and faster so he eventually catches up to Tim.
- Now things get seriously scary. When Sam reaches his little bro, Tim points the gun at Sam and makes a pretty hefty threat: "Don't come any closer, Sam, or I'll shoot you" (4.26). Golly gosh, this is some scary stuff.
- Sam says the gun isn't even loaded, but Tim doesn't know whether to believe him or not. And neither do we. But after another moment Sam has snatched the gun from his little bro.
- The good news is that there'll be no bro-on-bro violence today. But the bad news is that this situation is about to get way more complicated.
- Tim explains that the Continentals are threatening to kill their dad if he doesn't give them the Brown Bess. But then Sam says that he's not even supposed to be in Redding. He slipped away for a day to visit Betsy Read.
- According to Sam, everyone in the army slips home now and again, so as long as he's back soon it'll be fine, and no one will notice he was missing.
- But here's where the real pickle lies: if Sam goes to the tavern to give back the gun, the Continentals will know he left the army for a bit and might punish him as a deserter. Plus, if he gives Tim the gun and returns to his army without his weapon, he might get hanged as punishment. Hmmm.
- Eventually Sam agrees to go toward the house with Tim, so they can see what's going on.
- When they reach the tavern, it looks like the Continentals have left, so the brothers go inside.
- Happily, their dad is alive, even though he does have a bloody cut on his cheek.
- The second Sam sees his dad, he takes off running back the way he came, Brown Bess and all.
- Tim and his dad call after Sam, but he just waves and keeps on running. Well, at least the good news is that so far no one has died.
- But that pesky title about Sam dying has us pretty worried about what's up ahead.

Former Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld Has a Passion for Fashion
He's basically Anna Wintour without the bob.
Richard Fuld once berated his deputy Joe Gregory for wearing an "unfashionable green suit," and fired CFO Erin Callan for what many (us) believe was (among other things) her usage of appalling nude lipstick. But we did not know how deep his passion for fashion ran until we read the excerpt from Vicky Ward's new book in Vanity Fair this morning. Put a chic bob and some oversize sunglasses on the man, and he's basically Anna Wintour.
Like Anna, Fuld, who declared it "a dark day for the firm" when Casual Fridays were voted in, was always impeccably turned out.
He always dressed immaculately for work, in a navy-blue suit purchased from Richards department store in Greenwich, Connecticut, along with a white shirt, black lace-ups polished to a high sheen, and an Hermès tie. He had a tailor put special stitching in his suit pants and tops so he could easily see which coat went with which pants.
Anna would know which pants went with which jacket if she was blind, but still. Fuld was also highly judgmental about what other people wore, as well. "Sloppy dress, sloppy thinking" was a motto he frequently invoked. Both his employees and their wives had a hard time packing for the firm's annual getaways in Sun Valley; one describes the range of outfits they had to pack as "a nightmare." And woe to the person who showed up at an event underdressed, as Rob Shafir, the co-head of global equities, did once.
In 2004, Shafir arrived at the Mark hotel, on Madison Avenue in New York, for a so-called off-site. He was five minutes late (Fuld was a stickler for punctuality), and as he looked around the room he realized he was the only person dressed business casual (oxford shirt, chinos, and no tie). "What?" he asked as he caught everyone's horrified stares. "It's an off-site " Fuld looked at him. "Rob: off-site, yes. Out of mind, no."
Zing. If Fuld's hedge fund doesn't pan out, we could see him replacing Clinton on What Not to Wear.

Pharmaceutical and medical device companies now place more of their vital research & development capabilities into the hands of contract research organizations (CROs). In doing so they take the risk that such CROs can deliver the required information on time and to the required standard. In many cases, CROs function as strategic partners with industry sponsors, providing a wealth of expertise while helping to reduce costs and accelerate product development.
Regardless of your study type, goals or expected outcomes, when it comes to preclinical protocols, careful and informed decisions drive success. Companies are well advised to seek out seasoned experts in the field who can share insights into preclinical development efforts, including in study design, protocol development, animal models, screening and sourcing, delivering and dosing, quality control and regulatory compliance.
With decades of experience in preclinical study design and management, the preclinical CRO of Wake Forest Innovations, the industry-engagement arm of Wake Forest Baptists Medical Center, helps our clients get the data they require to make informed decisions about the development of their candidate medical device or drug. Below we have outlined seven critical steps that can help your preclinical study succeed.
Seven Steps for a Successful Preclinical Study
1. Write a strong protocol
As companies transition from basic research to product development, it is imperative that preclinical work be driven by a strong protocol. Preclinical studies require myriad decisions, including: appropriate animal model, sample size, randomization and bias, reproducibility, documentation and regulatory compliance. With a clear study objective, the protocol has a higher chance of producing valid results.
2. Conduct an exhaustive literature review
Before developing a protocol, researchers should familiarize themselves with prior studies carried out in their area of interest. This literature search should be done exhaustively. Preclinical research methods are evolving rapidly and the most successful studies build upon a foundation of extensive prior research in the field.
3. Select the right animal model
It is critical for companies conducting preclinical studies to select animal models that will generate valid and predictive results. Numerous studies have shown that phylogenetic similarity does not necessarily predict similar response between animal models and humans. Therefore, it is critical to carefully select the most appropriate species, sex, age, size, life span, etc. as all of these decisions impact study outcomes.
4. Screen animal models for targeted disease and biomarkers
A first-rate CRO will be able to screen and source animal models who are positive for virtually any disease process, including breast cancer, uterine cancer, diabetes and heart disease. A significant portion of 'rescue work' by CROs unfortunately comes from scenarios where companies were unable to either induce the disease or target biomarkers for the disease.
5. Ensure consistent sourcing of animals
Once researchers have selected a particular species, it often is important to ensure that the animal models being used in a given study all come from the same geographical region. For example, nonhuman primates (NHPs) of Chinese origin may be quite different in physiologic responses than NHPs of Indonesian origin, or of Vietnamese origin, and so forth. In such cases, once a country of origin has been established, it is important to continue sourcing from the same region to account for species variability.
6. Provide proper nutrition
When testing a therapeutic, the animal model must be fed a diet that mirrors the diet of the patient population. Moreover, the model must be susceptible to the same dietary-induced effects seen in humans. Otherwise, researchers may generate false negatives or false positives, squandering time and resources.
7. Use the proper technique
Researchers must use proper handling and surgical techniques. For example, a device implanted without proper attention to pre-operative preparation, post-operative care, wound healing, bacterial contamination, tissue damage and trauma, can appear histologically to be non-biocompatible. Similarly, issues of dosing, metabolism, delivery of therapeutics, social environment and animal husbandry can affect outcomes and must be managed with meticulous care.
At Wake Forest Innovations we work with pharmaceutical and medical device companies worldwide to design and manage studies based on the seven steps listed above.
Our client partners tap into our comprehensive experience with preclinical bench testing of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in all phases of development. A nationally recognized research facility, we have the nation's largest cohort of veterinarians working with animal models on diseases of human relevance.

Hello strategy fans; it seems that we have another giveaway of free games that are free. As you might know, Jesse recently reviewed Sengoku, a feudal Japan war game from Paradox Interactive, whom also created great titles like Europa Universalis III and Magicka. Well, if you like oriental things, war and a side of humor, then we got you covered. For a chance to win a copy of the game, we have not one but two simple ways:
Method 1: Follow @Daavpuke on Twitter and simply retweet this message. That's it; I'm that nice.
Method 2: Not a Twitterati? Then bust out the poetry skills and write us a feudal haiku in the comments that includes the words ninja, shogun, daimyo or sengoku. In case you don't know what that is, it's a short poem that uses syllables in a 5,7,5 scheme. Here's an example:
Noobfeed has prizes

Simply write us things.
You have until next month to win some free stuff. Winners will be notified by message.
Daav Valentaten, NoobFeed. (@Daavpuke)
I'm awfully curious; is this a hard copy we're talking about here or digital?
Why you had to make this contest so hard? I could tag this page for 1000 times or share it in facebook or GS. I'm neither a twitterati nor poet.
@azn_pride: Digital, naturally. Hard copies would be very intensive to do and we're lazy.
@Sleven: As per the above comment; this is by far the easiest contest we've run so far. It can literally take 1 second to do.
Watashi wa Jen
Atama ga itain desu
Ninja kawai!
ok lame but thought I would use what little japanese i know...though I may have butchered a word there.^ If you pronounce it like you should in Japanese I think the syllables add up to proper haiku and all. :D
Damn, I think Deliduck just beat us Twitteratis.
There's a lot of Twitteratis. Anyone remember how to calculate percentages? My basic math skills are terrible.
lol...I wish the Haiku wasent so lame though...
And I no nothing of Twitter...and just about the same of math concepts. :O :P
@Daavpuke: Well, there are 12 Twitteratis, so 12 divided by whatever total it is you have to the contest.
ninja, shogun, daimyo or sengoku, good luck to you too!
May the shadow guide you all!!!
Ninja sneak about
Samurai march into war
Daimyo sends them forth
^.^ Woo Samurai
This one is over dudes and dudettes. Check your messages and thanks for playing ^^
@Knight:I look ridiculous when I'm blushing, so please stop But thank you. I am quite the awesome cat.

It is reasonable to believe that there are no earthlings left who do not know that a car is at least 30 degrees warmer on the inside than ambient temperatures on warm days but some people still behave as if they don't know it.
If you have a dog you travel with :
- Teach your dog to accept strangers hanging around your car in advance.
- Keep visible ID on your dog.
- Plan any stops to revolve around the dog and the consider the weather.
- In an emergency, leave a note on the windshield that lets anyone concerned know where you have gone. If you are brave, include your cell phone number. (Carry an emergency charger for your phone)
- Know the animal control regulations in the areas you frequent. Where is the shelter if your dog escapes or is taken from your car? Where the all night vet hospitals along your regular routes? Many states require Rabies vaccination paperwork and if you cross state lines, you need a health certificate.
- Consider getting the AmimAlarm from Critter Cozy. It monitors the temperature of your car and calls your cell phone in an emergency. At least get BreezeGuard screens so that the windows can be open and no one can reach inside your car.
- Consider, seriously consider, leaving your dog at home when it's warm out if you are going to stop anywhere along the way.
If you see a dog in a car on a warm day check yourself:
- It is not illegal to leave a dog in a car. It IS illegal to endanger a dog by leaving him in a car that is LEGALLY different.
- It is illegal to break into a car that you don't own. Sure, you can tell the judge you had to so save a dog. If you have a receipt from the vet who treated the overheated dog, you may get reduced jail time because while it's still a crime, you had a good reason to be a criminal.
- If the dog is in distress-- Clawing frantically at the slightest opening or worse, listless and semi conscious you'll need to take action quickly. If she's just barking at you, back off. You are making her exercise which generates heat, fear, and stress--all things you would not want a dog in a car to experience.
- CALL the police. Note the time, the license plate of the car, make and model. Go in shops nearby and ask if owner of said car can be paged. The owner will get there faster than most officers can.
- While you wait: find out where the nearest vet is. Call and ask if they can see a potential dog from a hot car. Tell an officer who arrives that you have that information if he needs it.
- When owner or officer arrives, note the time again. Has the dog's condition changed? Give the owner the information about the available vet. Give the officer information about the times.
- If the dog is not in distress, it is truly possible that the dog is used to traveling with an owner and the owner is diligent about watching the clock if the dog is ever alone in the car. The car may be a hybrid that can run AC while parked. It's possible the owner had a heart attack and was taken from the store by ambulance 20 minutes ago. It's possible the dog is stolen, or with a relative who knows nothing about dogs and stopped to get some kibble to pet sit for the weekend. It's possible the owner is a complete idiot who has no idea what she's doing. In every instance, it's a good thing you noticed the dog in the car.....Train yourself to think like a cruelty investigator. You don't know anything until you know.
There are police, therapy and search and rescue dogs that must travel by car in all kinds of weather just as their handlers do. They are accustomed to this and their owners have policies in place to ensure their trained partners' safety. There are farm dogs who work in weather extremes, just as their farmers do. There are emergencies. If you truly value dogs, you know they are capable of much more than people generally expect. So before you intervene, "ask" the dog if he or she needs your help. It's quite possible the answer is yes. And now you'll know what to do when that's the case.

Terry Michaelis Selected for Bloomington Gold Great Hall
The Corvette hobby has millions of enthusiasts, but few as recognizable and well-known as Terry Michaelis, president and co-owner of Pro Team Corvette in Napoleon, Ohio, and a Corvette collector who has owned some of the most important Corvettes ever produced.
Daytona Racer Enters Great Hall
Andy Bolig
The induction ceremony will be held Friday, June 28th at 4:00p.m.
Although not the last '67 built, this is the last C2 Corvette to leave the factory.
Due to delays, it was stored in the factory until August when Cliff Gottlob drove it home. That was the last time it was the last of anything. Entered in over 350 competitive events, it finished first over 150 times—winning 52 consecutive races. It finished in the top three over 75% of the time, including 2nd place at the 1970 Daytona 24 Hour. Unsponsored.
Not only did it complete the 1,940 miles of the Daytona race, it was driven 3,272 miles from Kansas to Daytona and back—in full racing livery. Try that today. Speeds reached 186 mph at Daytona and 203 mph at Talladega. This is the only known pre-C3 production Corvette to reach 200 mph.
Advice from Chevrolet engineer Vince Piggins prompted Gottlob to remove the original L88 engine with 138 miles and store it. David Burroughs re-installed it during his 1985 restoration. Not only does the block retain its original factory paint and stampings, volumes of factory paperwork remain perfectly preserved.
Don't miss the induction of this great Corvette and many other cars and stars during the The Great Hall Event at the Bloomington Gold Show.

Hempstead school district officials believe this is the first school in the country to honor the country's first African-American president.
The name change came after students in the fifth grade participated in a mock presidential debate and election, which Obama won in a landslide. After the debate, students asked if the school could be renamed should Obama win.
School officials are hoping Gov. David Paterson, a former Hempstead resident and New York's first African-American governor, will attend the ceremony.
Do you think any Syracuse area schools will follow suit? Is it appropriate to name a school after a living president (or in this case, president-elect)? Post your thoughts here.

Anesthesia: Your anesthesia may cause blurred vision, dry mouth or chills. We will work to make you as comfortable as possible.
Moving to the Unity JRC: Following the recovery area, you will be taken to the Joint Replacement Center where the orthopaedic team will care for you. Only one or two very close family members or friends should visit you on this day. Most of the discomfort occurs the first 12 hours following surgery, so be sure to ask for your pain medicine before your pain becomes too intense. You will see the physical therapist, who will teach you exercises you can do in bed. Try to do them every hour.
Pain management: Most of the discomfort occurs in the first 12 hours following surgery. Please let us know as soon as you begin to feel pain, so we can provide medication.
Visitors: We recommend that only one or two close family members visit you the day of surgery.
All patients have a right to have their pain managed. Pain can be chronic (lasting a long time) or intense (breakthrough). Pain can change through the recovery process. If you need more help with your pain management, talk to your nurse, the Orthopaedic Program Director, or your doctor.
Using a number to rate your pain can help the Joint Team understand the severity of your pain and help them make the best decision to help manage it.
Using a pain scale to describe your pain will help the team understand your pain level. If "0" means you have no pain and "10" means you are in the worst pain possible, how would you rate you pain? A rating of 5 is moderate pain. Our goal is to help you maintain your pain level at less than 5. With good communication about your pain, the team can make adjustments to make you more comfortable. Try to relax, when you are relaxed medication works better.

Fans of "Welcome to Myrtle Manor" are sad to hear the news that Anne is battling cancer. On March 18, she went to her Facebook page to thank her fans for the support that they have been sending to her during this time. She wants her fans to know that she is trying to answer all of their messages but she is moving a bit slower than usual.
She is known to her fans as Miss Anne. If you want to send her a get well message, then Taylor Burt shared how to do this on Twitter. He said, "Please, if anyone would like to send a card, note or anything else kind to my mother, mail to: 2000 hwy 15 lot 43b, Myrtle beach, sc 29577."
Anne has been sharing pictures all over her Facebook. She looks very happy and has even been on a road trip with Marvin lately. It is good to see her so happy and living her life. Miss Anne is going to kick cancer one day at a time.
"Welcome to Myrtle Manor" airs on TLC on Thursday nights on TLC.

My name is Robby Bear, and I am very honoured to be nominated for Yorkton City Council.
My wife Avery and I are raising a young family of four children (Sarah, Birdie, Kadence and Ryker) and we are very pleased to call Yorkton home. Moving to Yorkton at a young age, I attended school at St. Joseph Jr. High, as well as the Yorkton Regional high school. I studied business at the University of Regina, and have progressed as a successful business man in the community for the past ten years.
I have maintained strong ties with the community over the years and am presently in my third year as a Director with the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. While playing Jr. "A" hockey with the Yorkton Terriers, I was privileged to be part of a great community based organization, and was honoured to receive the award of "most popular player voted by the fans".
My greatest priority in running for City Council is to listen to the citizens of Yorkton, and to address their concerns ensuring the best interests of the community. I have extensive experience in strategic planning, budgeting, development and implementation of policies and procedures, as well as working with a diverse team to accomplish results.
With your vote, I will ensure your voice is heard at Yorkton City Council, with a key focus on the following issues:
• City of Yorkton Infrastructure upgrades (Kinsmen Arena, Municipal Airport)
• Responsible budgeting and planning of long-term infrastructure for future generations
• Annual maintenance (intersection lights, City streets, snow removal)
• Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency to the decision making process
• Cost effective spending to ensure tax dollars do not exceed the rate of inflation
• Ensure Yorkton continues to be a safe community for our citizens
• Ongoing support for senior housing and care facilities
• Enhance family amenities such as spray parks and walking trails
I am extremely excited to represent and work with the citizens of our community in bringing a fresh perspective to Yorkton City Hall. I am committed to being a voice for all residents in the community, and together we can ensure Yorkton continues to be a place "Where Good Things Happen".

The time honored tradition of 420 will be celebrated by many this year (especially Colorado and Washington) and a new film can be added to their stoner list. Unlike the traditional bud buddy films such as Dazed and Confused, Half Baked and Pineapple Express John Stockwell's Kid Cannabis will remind you more of the weed version of Blow. The film stars Jonathan Daniel Brown, Kenny Wormald, Ron Perlman, John C. McGinley, and Aaron Yoo and will be released in theaters on April 18th.
Kid Cannabis is the true story of an Idaho teen dropout who builds a multimillion-dollar marijuana ring by trafficking drugs through the woods across the Canadian border. But his pursuit of the high life - complete with girls, guns, and vicious rival drug lords - may leave this ex-pizza boy in way over his head. This story is based on true events.
Many have seen Perlman smoke before on the popular television show Sons of Anarchy so it will be nice to see him teamed up with guys from two of the biggest party movies last year. The film seems like it has a dark overtone and being based on a true story it's OK to assume this does not end well. The film is directed by Top Gun's own John Stockwell (Cougar) or for horror fans you may remember him as Dennis Guilder from Christine. Kid Cannabis is being distributed by Well Go USA and we have some images and the official trailer for you here. Look for more on this soon!

Whether you realize it or not, you are not the same person today as you may have grown up believing you were. Also, to the outside world, you are likely not the same person you perceive yourself to be. Spending however many years in the images we create of ourselves based on how family and friends view us and the achievements, or perceived lack thereof, of our past may truly not be how other people we meet along the way view us.
So much of how and who we believe ourselves to be comes from the images formed in and throughout our youth. The place we held in the family lineup, the parenting style (including degree of affection, positive/negative reinforcement, or abuse) of our families, and popularity in school go into forming the self-impressions we take with us into adulthood and into arenas, such as going away to college, getting grown up jobs, joining the military, or traveling abroad, that transcend the world in which we grew.
If opportunities arise that the you of days past would have enjoyed trying but would not have due to some self-imposed perception of being incapable or undeserving, then each and every one of these opportunities presents the chance to hit the reset button and expand your undertakings. If a project comes up at work that you feel would provide a spotlight for your talents or would be a stepping stone to the next level, then go for it. If there is something you would like to learn or has caught the interest of present day you, find an online or local class in the subject and become a person who pursues that study.
To a certain degree, you can reinvent yourself from the person you grew into with discipline and with the understanding that people in your new surroundings do not know the "you" you were at eight, or at 12, or at 17 and they have not lumped you into the box in which you feel you belong. If there are limiting or self-sabotaging habits or behaviors that you feel you keep repeating because of roles you held in your family, with friends, or in your school dynamic, you can set forth plans to work on broadening those horizons.
For all those things you would have liked to try but did not, take advantage of each related opportunity that arises and realize that every day offers you a new chance to get involved in something that sparks your interest. If you feel there is room for improvement in the way you would feel about yourself then there is absolutely no reason to allow old beliefs of yourself to block you from growing into the you of tomorrow.

27% yes
This is a discussion on Fire Mission & Ronoke Times -- "news" on VT families & gun shows... within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; in another reprint of _Virginian-Pilot_'s bovine excrement And also a poll at http://www.wavy.com/ The poll at this link is on the right side of the ...
in another reprint of _Virginian-Pilot_'s bovine excrement
And also a poll at http://www.wavy.com/
The poll at this link is on the right side of the main WAVY page and is horribly written.
It is associated with a story about a bill and a forum on closing the non-existent "gun show loophole," being supported by some of the Virginia Tech parents. Forget that Cho didn't get his guns at a gun show and that he passed a background check TWICE.
The question is: "Family members of those killed by a student gunman are asking Congress to pass a federal law requiring background checks on
all buyers at gun shows. Do you think people buying guns should have to pass a background check?"
As written it seems to be asking if ALL background checks be scrapped (fine by me, but probably not what the question should have been). That is confusing many people, who don't really understand the gun show issue.
Anyway, I don't like background checks for a Constitutionally protected item, so I voted a firm "NO," answering their poll truthfully.
The Roanoke Time item is at:
http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/breaking/wb/253576Happening today: Tech families asking Congress for gun show checks
By Julian Walker | The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot
WASHINGTON -- Family members of those wounded and killed in the April 2007
Virginia Tech shootings during a Capitol Hill event today will continue to
push for a law change requiring criminal background checks before certain
firearms transactions are completed at gun shows.
A forum about closing the gun show loophole is scheduled to be held in the
U.S. House Judiciary Committee room this afternoon.
The so-called loophole is a wrinkle in state law that requires licensed gun
dealers to run a criminal history check before selling a gun, but doesn't hold
private sellers to that standard.
Efforts to change the law to mandate background checks before private guns
sale are completed have repeatedly failed to pass the General Assembly.
Tech families and others of their ilk argue that lax gun laws lead to
violence; Gun rights advocates disagree, noting that Tech gunman Seung Hui Cho
did not obtain the weapons he used to slaughter 32 people at a gun show.
On the eve of today's forum, Tech families and the Brady Campaign to Prevent
Gun Violence issued the following statement:
The families of the victims, the survivors and their families would all like
to thank Congressman Bobby Scott for his leadership on this critical public
safety issue.
After the massacre at Virginia Tech, Governor Kaine created the Virginia Tech
Review Panel comprised of eight nationally recognized and respected
individuals with a wide variety of expertise The panel eventually produced an
extensive report which included 81 specific recommendations covering: improved
laws, policies, procedures, systems and institutions of the Commonwealth of
Virginia and the operation of public safety agencies, medical facilities,
local agencies, private providers, universities and mental health delivery
>From the beginning we, the families of the victims, the survivors and their
families, gave our support to the panel members and, after the report was
presented, to the agencies and legislators charged with implementing the
recommended changes. Virtually all of the recommendations were acted upon with
one glaring exception, that being: "Virginia should require background checks
for all firearm sales, including those at gun shows."
The panel recognized the importance of limiting the ease of access to firearms
for people that have been judged to be a danger to themselves or others due to
severe mental illness. They also recognized that any improvements in the
procedures that identified individuals prohibited from buying firearms due to
mental illness through the NICS background check system, would be totally
ineffective if some types of commercial firearm sales are allowed to continue
to circumvent the background check system. Gun shows are one of the most
popular public venues where firearms can be sold or exchanged between total
strangers without the need for a background check on the purchaser.
Virginia has yet to close this "Gunshow Loophole," however, this problem is
not limited to the confines of the Commonwealth of Virginia, but rather
extends across all 37 states still allow the public sale of firearms without a
background check.
Background checks on purchasers attempting to buy firearms from licensed
dealers have prevented 1.8 million ineligible sales over the years that the
Brady law has been in effect. The vast majority of background checks currently
take less than a few minutes to complete and present no obstacle to eligible
firearms buyers.
We know from firsthand experience the pain and devastation that can result
when a person prohibited by law from owning or possessing firearms can
nevertheless gain easy access to them and use them to maim and kill. That is
why we are asking the Federal Government to step in and enact legislation to
make it more difficult for dangerous people to obtain dangerous weapons.

Global Economic Gloom – China and India Notable Exceptions
The latest Pew Global Attitudes survey finds some encouraging signs for America's global image for the first time this decade. Although views of the United States remain negative in much of the world, favorable ratings have increased modestly since 2007 in 10 of 21 countries where comparative data are available.

Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito has become famed for his skill in whipping up tasty, tempting meals. But now he's turned his attention to the opposite of feasting: Extreme weight loss. He talked with ABC News on Jan. 10 about his plan for helping you lose five pounds in just five days.
"It's a chef's point of view that's been missing in the world of health," said Rocco about his "The Pound a Day Diet: Lose Up to 5 Pounds in 5 Days by Eating the Foods You Love."
Why focus on such rapid weight loss? Rocco feels that it motivates dieters to continue their momentum. And he's convinced that the combination of fast weight loss and delicious diet recipes will provide them with a plan that they can turn into a lifestyle.
"These recipes are easy to make and they taste great," declared Rocco.
His low carb diet emphasizes protein in order to boost your metabolism while keeping you satisfied despite the low calorie count. Phase one involves drinking half your weight in ounces every day while consuming six small protein-packed meals, totaling 850 calories a day.
You do get to eat more calories on weekends for one month, and then transition to phase two of the high protein diet, which involves more food and a path to maintenance.
Since the title says that you'll be losing weight by eating the foods that you love, how does Rocco achieve that diet dream on 850 calories a day? Chocolate, which is featured in his morning chocolate shake (see recipe below).
"It's got 30 grams of protein. The reason I put so much protein in this chocolate smoothie is because it is breakfast and protein is sustainable fuel. It'll last throughout the whole day," Rocco explained.
But how safe is that rapid weight loss? ABC News talked with Dr. Jennifer Ashton. She expressed concerns that for some people, medical issues such as electrolyte abnormalities can result.
In addition, some experts are concerned that such a low calorie count can result in malnutrition and harm the metabolism, reported Medical Daily on Jan. 9. Consulted about the "Pound a Day" diet, Dr. Brian Quebbemann, a surgeon and founder of the N.E.W. (Nutrition, Exercise, and Wellness) Program in Newport Beach, Calif. expressed his concerns.
After following an 850-calorie-a-day diet and then shifting to more calories, the "body will change from an active calorie-burning mode to a calorie-storing mode, which will in turn, decrease the metabolism," warned Dr. Quebbemann.
However, Rocco says that he created his diet with input from a doctor, who helped him create it with the right balance of protein and nutrition to prevent such problems. You can try a meal from his new book with the recipe below.
High-Protein Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie from "The Pound a Day Diet: Lose Up to 5 Pounds in 5 Days by Eating the Foods You Love"
Yield: Four 16-ounce servings
- 6 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 2 scoops fiber powder (such as ReNew Life Triple Fiber)
- 2 scoops protein powder (such as Daily Benefit)
- 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's
- Special Dark)
- 24 packets monk fruit extract (such as Monk Fruit In the Raw; optional)
- 4 scoops unflavored egg-white powder (such as Jay Robb)
- 2 cups crushed ice or small ice cubes
1. Put the water, psyllium husk powder, and fiber powder in a blender and blend on high until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1 1⁄2 minutes.
2. Turn the blender off and add the protein powder, cocoa, and monk fruit powder, if using; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds, and turn off the blender.
3. Add the egg-white powder and blend until smooth, about 10 seconds, then add the ice and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. Pour the smoothie into 4 pint-sized glasses.
Tip: Add a pinch of salt if your diet can afford the sodium—it will really draw out the full flavor of the cocoa.
