Michigan House OKs testing for drugged driving
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan lawmakers are bringing drugged driving provisions in line with the state's drunken driving laws.
The House overwhelmingly passed bills Tuesday that would let police conduct Breathalyzer and roadside sobriety tests if they believe a driver is under the influence of drugs. A drugged driver's license could be confiscated or destroyed under certain circumstances, and the person's status would be uploaded in a state database.
The state's driving laws have long prohibited drugged driving. The legislation expands police officers' ability to identify offenders and enforce the law.
It now goes to the Senate.
Michigan State Police and the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan have testified in favor of updating the law.

Swedish is cool
but seriously I'd like to learn Russian
I want a russian accent
Well, that was a pretty good film, besides the rather disturbing rape scene... xP
Hahahaha it was!
Next week is the second movie and then my school will show the third movie the week after. :D
The original Swedish films were made in 2009. All three of them. (released months apart of course)
Hollywood needs to get on Sweden's level. :P
i saw the first two in swedish. havent seen finchers one yet.
I guess the endings are different between the movies because all the Swedish version showed was Mikael (amusingly) finding out that Lisbeth had withdrawn the money and then showing her enjoying her new-found wealth.
Yeah in the book she does find Blomkvist with another chick and is enraged but I forget the ending of the movie.
every time i read the title of this tread i think it says "watchin a swedish fish"
just sayin....

Technology update
Feb 12, 2008
Laser-coating penetrates nanomembrane
Water purification and skin repair are two applications on the drawing board for easy-to-make, highly porous Ni3Al nanomembranes. The plan is to sterilize the metallic material by in situ heating and even bend the scaffold-like structure to match the contour of facial tissue, but there's a catch – the membranes contain nickel, which is toxic.
"We are looking at alternative materials, but so far our membrane fabrication concept works only on Ni-based alloys," Debashis Mukherji told nanotechweb.org. "To get around the problem, we've decided to try and coat the structure with a biocompatible material."
A porous membrane was made at the Technical University Braunschweig in Germany, transferred to the Laser Center Leoben, Austria, for plasma coating and then sent back to Germany for characterization at the Hahn-Meitner Institute, Berlin.
The team chose a high-energy coating technique dubbed pulsed laser deposition to encourage material deep inside the membrane's pores, which measure approximately 200 nm in width and have a depth of around 250 µm. The method involves firing a high-power, infrared (1064 nm) laser beam periodically onto a target to evaporate the substance and develop a dense plasma plume.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium were selected as coating candidates as they are known to be highly biocompatible. In each case, the membrane was moved through the coating plume at a relative speed of 5.4 cm/s to encourage uniform coverage.
Using focused ion beam tomography, the researchers were able to view the treated structure in three dimensions. "It took around 3–4 hours to process 178 cross-sections," said Mukherji. "We used a low ion current of 50 pA for slicing to give a smooth surface for high quality SEM imaging."
The images together with spectroscopy data reveal that the plasma plume has penetrated all of the membrane's pores. Both the titanium and DLC-treated samples show similar coating behaviour with a thickness of around 50 nm, although the titanium coverage is less uniform.
"Next, we need to test how adherent the coatings are in hazardous environments, particularly in contact with the body fluid," commented Mukherji. "Once an optimal coating is developed, the following step would be to work with biomedical specialists to trial the coated substrate for tissue growth."

Your picture has red onion or cabbage in the salad, but nothing red is in the recipe you list!I drew the water out of the bok choy with salt and rinsed it well before using it in the salad, which eliminated the bitterness (I almost always do this to veggies in the Kale family before I use them in uncooked recipes).. I added grated ginger and used honey instead of sugar and left the onion like products out. It was good.
Crunchy Bok Choy Slaw
From EatingWell: August/September 2006
A versatile side dish to go with grilled meats or poultry. Crispy, crunchy and thoroughly delicious.
4 Reviews for Crunchy Bok Choy Slaw
I did the same as the two above and used agave rather than sugar and added an extra tsp as well. Instead of the green onion I used a shallot as that's all I had and I added a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and sunflower seeds for an additional salty crunch. This was served as a side to some organic ribs. Delicious!!
Great summer salad, just like person before me posted used agave syrup and added julliened apple for a little extra sweetness. Bok choy is a little bitter, but with all the other flavors makes a great combination.
Really light and refreshing summer salad, used agave syrup instead of sugar... an extra teaspoon to sweeten it up a bit. Also did not have bok choy so used chinese cabbage.

In addition to the Marvel area themed on Marvel Comics superheroes, the ship will get a new three-story water slide. Disney's oldest cruise ship Magic getting a makeover BETH J. HARPAZ| AP travel editor Comments NEW YORK — Disney Cruise Line's oldest ship, the Magic, is getting a makeover, including the addition of a children's area themed on Marvel Comics superheroes and a three-story water slide, the company announced April 26. The Magic launched in 1998. Other updates when the ship goes into drydock in Spain for a month this fall include updating audio technology and lighting, and retheming decor, motifs and layout in cabins, dining rooms, play spaces, and adult areas like bars and clubs. The new Magic ride, called AquaDunk, is a waterslide three decks high that sends riders on a near-vertical drop through a translucent tube extending 20 feet over the side of the ship. The ship will also get a water playground and pool called AquaLab, as well as a splash zone for infants and toddlers, using Donald Duck's mischievous nephews as a character theme. The Magic's new Marvel's Avengers Academy will use characters from the Marvel brand, which Disney acquired in 2009. It will feature games, programming, and equipment consisting of reproductions of props from superhero films. It's designed to appeal to both boys and girls, inspiring them to become superhero "recruits" for missions from the academy. Adding the AquaDunk ride to the Magic will bring it in line with Disney's newest ships, the Dream and Fantasy, which already have flashy thrill rides. The Dream and Fantasy also have play areas called Andy's Room themed on Toy Story, and the Magic will get one too, with oversized furniture, a human-sized Mr. Potato Head and a Slinky slide designed to make children feel they are no bigger than a toy. Fran Golden, a veteran cruiser who blogs for Porthole Cruise News at Porthole.com, said the Magic is in need of an update. "Disney's newer ships — Dream and Fantasy — have more attractions. Adding a thrill water slide, AquaDunk, will get people excited — and not just kids," she said, noting that the water slides on Disney's other ships are popular with adults as well as children. She predicted that the Marvel area will also be a big hit. "What kid can resist hanging with Captain America, Iron Man and Thor?" she said. Stateroom changes will include raising beds up to allow for storage underneath and reconfiguring the rooms so that bedrooms can be closed off from the rest of the cabin. Retheming of adult areas includes a new piano lounge and a new Irish pub and sports bar. A Brazil-themed family dining area called Carioca's will replace a Caribbean-themed restaurant called Parrot Cay. And the popular Animator's Palate restaurant, which offers guests an interactive look at Disney animation, is also getting a complete technological redo. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

College Hockey:This Week in Atlantic Hockey: Feb. 18, 2010
Coming Into Focus
The Atlantic Hockey playoff picture is beginning to come into focus, with RIT taking a huge step toward its third regular season title in four years thanks to a road sweep of Army last weekend, the first time the Tigers have been able to take four points at Tate rink.
On Friday, Jared DeMichiel posted his fourth shutout of the season to lead RIT to a 3-0 victory, and the Tigers got the brooms out in a 5-2 win on Saturday that featured plenty of penalties and cheap shots throughout.
Things reached a boiling point at the final buzzer, when three majors (one for elbowing, two for fighting) were handed out, as well as a pair of game disqualifications.
Army Athletic Director Kevin Anderson issued a statement after the game (the link has since been removed from the Army athletics site), apologizing for the "behavior and language exhibited by the RIT players, coaches and staff." Anderson was actually a participant in the fracas, according to B2 and ITT Knight Vision broadcaster Cody Crusciel.
"Somebody coming off the Army bench … hoping that's not who I think it is," said Crusciel during his broadcast of the post game festivities. "That was Kevin Anderson coming off the Army bench, right in the face of RIT coach Wayne Wilson."
As expected, Wilson had a different take on things.
"We were trying to make plays with the puck, and they were trying to run us," Wilson said after the game. "In a physical game emotions get high. Those things happen. It's unfortunate. It's not something either myself or [Army coach] Brian [Riley] want."
Neither team has commented further, although sources say RIT is not happy with Anderson's statement and will respond.
Both teams need to ignore the distraction and get ready for big weekends. Army's quest for a home playoff spot was dealt a severe blow last weekend, but the Black Knights are still in the running. They travel to Mercyhurst this weekend. Friday's game will be televised nationally by CBS College Sports.
RIT returns home for a pair against Air Force. The Tigers need two points to clinch a tie for the regular season title and the top seed in the playoffs. Three points in their final four games will give RIT the outright title. But the Falcons pose a serious challenge — they are the only team with a winning record against RIT this season, and all-time in AHA play.
"Air Force is a team you have to go through if you want to get somewhere," Wilson said. "Their record [as three time defending AHA champions] speaks for itself."
The Scoop, Version II
Crunching the numbers going the final two weekends of the regular season:
RIT can finish no lower than second place and clinch a share of the regular season title with a combination of two points in its last four games. Three points give the Tigers sole possession.
Sacred Heart can finish no lower than fifth place and needs four points in its last four games to clinch home ice in the quarterfinals.
Air Force can finish no lower than sixth place and needs six points in its last four games to clinch home ice.
Mercyhurst can finish no lower than seventh place and needs to win out to assure home ice. The Lakers can finish no higher than second.
Canisius can finish no lower than seventh place and needs help to finish as high as second.
Army can finish no lower than eighth place and cannot finish higher than seventh without some help. The Black Knights can finish as high as third.
Holy Cross can finish as high as fourth and as low as eighth. The Crusaders need help to finish any higher than seventh.
Bentley cannot finish any higher than fourth place and any lower than ninth. The Falcons need help to finish higher than seventh.
American International can finish as high as eighth and as low as 10th. The Yellow Jackets need help to finish higher than ninth.
Connecticut will finish either ninth or 10th and needs help to finish out of the basement.
We'll run the numbers again next week.
Weekly Awards
Player of the Week for Feb. 15:
Jordan Cyr — Holy Cross
The junior forward had five points last week to lead the Crusaders to a 3-0 record. He had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over UConn, and then added a goal and two more assist in a 6-4, 4-0 sweep of Bentley. Cyr leads the team with 22 points.
Goalie of the Week for Feb. 15:
Jared DeMichiel — RIT
The senior goaltender wins the award for the third time this season. DeMichiel allowed just two goals last weekend to help RIT to a sweep of Army. He leads all AHA goalies with a 1.82 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage in league play.
Rookie of the Week for Feb. 15:
Thomas Tysowsky — Holy Cross
Tysowsky went 3-0 and stopped 58 of 64 shots, including a shutout, as the Crusaders took care of business against UConn and Bentley. His 687 saves are ranked fourth on the all-time Holy Cross Division I single-season saves list.
Canisius and Mercyhurst resumed their Western New York vs. Eastern Pennsylvania rivalry last weekend, with each team winning on the other's turf. As a result, the Lakers still lead the Griffs by a single point for the coveted final home-ice spot.
On Friday, the Lakers scored a pair of shorthanded goals en route to a 3-1 win. Saturday was a different story with Canisius coming away with a 4-2 win, scoring a shorthanded goal of its own.
Cory Conacher had a pair of goals and an assist, and continues to lead the nation in scoring in points per game with 1.61. He has 40 points in league play, just the sixth time in AHA history that a player has reached that milestone. He needs six points in his final four games to eclipse Eric Ehn's record of 45 points set in 2006-07.
"The win tonight was huge," Conacher said after Saturday's game. "It was especially big because Mercyhurst is right ahead of us in the standings. We knew that we needed to come in and get a road win. We kept it simple tonight."
Unexpected End
Air Force's Jeff Hajner is out for the remainder of the season due to a blood clot in his right leg. It's a blow for Hajner, who prematurely ends his college hockey career, and for the Falcons, who lose their senior captain and fourth-leading scorer. Hajner was one game away from tying the Academy's all-time record for games played in a career with 150. He had played in every game he was eligible for in his career and those 150 games in a row is a school record.
The Falcons are looking to respond the way they did two years ago when the team lost Eric Ehn to an injury but didn't skip a beat, winning the league title.
Army Athletic Director Kevin Anderson made a rather strange apology this week (the link has since been removed from the Army athletics site), placing the blame for the rough play, bad language, and post game mini-brawl in Saturday's game between Army and RIT squarely in the lap of RIT.
"You are among our most prized assets and I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for what you were forced to sit through during Saturday's Army vs. RIT hockey game, especially those behind the visitor's bench," Anderson said in his statement to fans.
"The behavior and language exhibited by the RIT players, coaches and staff is something we will not tolerate and I want to assure you that it will be addressed with the visiting team's administration as well as the Atlantic Hockey Association. … I want to personally apologize to those fans at Tate Rink on Saturday who were offended and outraged at the language."
Strictly opinion:
1. It's not Anderson's place to apologize for the actions of another team.
2. Anderson was, according to an Internet broadcast of the game, "in the face" of an opposing team's coaching staff. He's likely too emotionally involved.
3. While I appreciate Army's efforts to have a G-rated environment at Tate Rink, this is, after all, hockey. Bad words and rough play are not unexpected as emotions flare, and it look

In the spring of 2011 I put a deposit on a house in PA in the amount of $1,000. After reviewing the home inspection report I decided not to purchase the property and terminated the sale. About a month later I received a paper from the owner of the property (who is also a real estate broker), saying that he terminated the sale because I did not close on time and that I forfeited the deposit. I refused to sign. I was told by someone who used to work in real estate financing that I should get the money back after two years if he didn't file papers to take it. Well, now he wants the money. He contacted the real estate office that was holding the money in escrow and requested that they send me papers to sign releasing the deposit. When I received these papers I noticed that they were signed by his son. It turns out the company that was holding the money is a real estate office that he worked for for many years and now his son works there and is apparently responsible for handling the escrow account. He did not disclose this to me. I find this to be highly unethical and wonder if it is legal. Is he entitled to the deposit money? Is this against the law? I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone.

Did you sign a real estate offer contract for the house?
Posted 14 December 2012 - 12:19 PM
Yes, I signed a real estate offer contract.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 01:05 PM
Depends entirely on the terms of the contract(s) you signed.

What does the contract state about this deposit?
Posted 14 December 2012 - 04:43 PM
The contract says I forfeit if I don't meet the closing date, but I also had a home inspection clause. He says that I broke the contract, but I don't see it that way. He has as much as said that he will sue to get his money, but wants $200 an hour mediation first. I found another place and don't have a lot of money. Should I give up or fight?
Posted 17 December 2012 - 07:33 AM
It's a small claims matter. Most folks would not think it worthwhile to spend $200 (or more) for mediation or attorneys' fees.

Merry Christmas, folks! Back from Christmas Eve services, had a shot of whisky with the wife, and now I'm working on a big bottle of oatmeal stout.

Don't tell my mom, but I am glad she left town to visit her other kid and grandkids this Christmas too.
Now, on the other hand, I've got this kid visiting us who finished boot camp a month or two ago at Camp Pendleton and wants Kevlar skivvies for Christmas.
Meh, where to shop?

Ahhh snow :0
It's mid summer here with the tail end of a tropical cyclone leaving its mark. VERY humid and 'blowy' rain on and off and VERY humid.
As ever all the folks in tents are enduring their Christmas holidays baling out their tents and trying to stop their kids from drowning in their sleeping bags. Ahhhh Christmas in NZ. What can beat it!
…. and did I say it was HUMID!!!!!!
Merry Christmas…, carry-on.
Trying to get the old mind right for the coming rush. Once the wife wakes up, stuff has to be done before people arrive. There's cleaning, of course, plus more food prep stuff. Fortunately here the madness is usually finished around 3 PM. Then it's more cleaning, of course. But I need to clean the dining room table and chairs, vacuum the downstairs one last time, carve some bird, set the table, lay out various minor foodstuffs, etc., etc. The wife does most of the cooking today (I did most of yesterday's cooking), but I do have to keep up with whatever mess she generates in that process. Have to get my game face on…
just 12 more hours of work and i get 7 days off…
merry christmas all!
we are taking the kids up north tonight to gramma's where they already have a foot of snow and are expecting another 15 tomorrow afternoon! white christmas indeed!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Got about 3 inches of snow here in mid-Maryland. White Christmases don't happen too often here.

In game one, the Lakers captured a 3-2 with the help of senior Christie Cicero scoring two goals including her first game-winning goal of the season. Sophomore Kathy Donohue scored the tying goal at the 9:44 mark in the third period before Cicero finished at 18:47. In game two, sophomore J'nai Mahadeo scored the first goal of the contest before Cicero made it 2-0 before the end of the opening period. Donohue scored her first collegiate game-winning goal at the 11:03 mark into the third period. The Lakers held off a last minute rush by St. Lawrence after they pulled their goal for the last two minutes. Mercyhurst is now 5-1-1 with their home ice advantage almost halfway through the season.

The Colonials first traveled to Ohio State on Tuesday to face a Buckeyes squad that had beaten Mercyhurst and No. 4 North Dakota, and knocked them off, 2-1, thanks to a third period goal from Rebecca Vint. RMU then returned home for a Friday contest against Maine and came away with a 4-2 victory, headlined by a career performance from Brittany Howard ...

Vint also moved up in the record books with a three-assist afternoon against the Black Bears. The three helpers gave the junior forward 47 for her career, moving her past Sara O'Malley (2007-11) for third all-time ... The Colonials host second-place RIT this weekend in what is RMU's last series of the 2013 calendar year. After the series with the Tigers, the Colonials won't be in action again until Jan. 4-5, 2014, when they host St. Lawrence..
RIT – The Tigers (9-7-1, 4-1-1 CHA) earned third place honors at the Nutmeg Classic hosted by Quinnipiac University. On Friday, the Tigers fell to No. 8 Quinnipiac, 8-0 and rebounded to defeat Connecticut in overtime on Saturday, 4-3. Erin Zach scored the game-winner 2:06 into overtime and added two assists. Marissa Maugeri added a goal and two assists and was plus-4 in the win. Celeste Brown tied the game with 1:52 left in regulation. In net, Jetta Rackleff picked up her first collegiate win, stopping 42 shots. Zach, who played in her 100th career game on Saturday, was named to the Nutmeg Classic All-Tournament Team. Saturday was the first time RIT won at the D-I level when allowing at least three goals in a game. The Tigers were 0-15-0 previously in that scenario. RIT is now 1-10-0 all-time against nationally-ranked foes. RIT is now 7-1-0 on Friday and 2-6-1 on Saturday this season. The Tigers are 24-8-6 when allowing two or less goals in their brief Division I history. Kourtney Kunichika needs just one goal to reach the 50-goal plateau in her collegiate career. Goaltender Ali Binnington is 6-1-1 with a 1.13 goals against average and .958 save percentage over her last eight games. This weekend, RIT returns to conference play with a weekend series at No. 10 Robert Morris on Friday and Saturday. RIT leads the all-time series between the two schools 4-2-1. The two teams met three teams between 2007 and 2008. Last season, RIT went 3-0-1 against the Colonials, allowing just four goals in the four contests.
Syracuse – Syracuse won their first of two games at the Onondaga War Memorial, home of the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, 2-1 over Colgate last week with a last-minute goal from Allie LaCombe, her third game-winner of the season. The Orange also used a late goal in the second to tie the game at 1-1 with 13 seconds remaining in the period. Freshman Heather Schwarz scored the first of her career to tie the game, flicking one in during a scrum in front of the net. With this win, Syracuse moves to 7-6-2 on the season and 3-2-1 at home. This is the second consecutive win for SU when playing at the War Memorial. The Orange last played at the downtown Syracuse location on Feb. 21 2009, defeating St. Anslem 4-1. This Tuesday the Orange plays its second of three games at War Memorial Arena when they host nationally-ranked Cornell. The Orange are 1-1 this season against teams in the top-10 during the week of the contest. They defeated No. 3/4 Boston College at home, and lost to No. 3 Clarkson in the season opener. Cornell enters at 9-1-2 on the season, suffering its first loss in its last outing against No. 7/8 Boston College this past Saturday. The team is currently ranked third in the nation in this week's USCHO.com poll. The Big Red have played just four games on the road so far this season, winning two and tying two. Cornell averages 4.00 goals per game, second-most in the nation behind No. 1/1 Minnesota. The Syracuse penalty kill, which ranks eighth nationally at 89.3%, will have their work cutout for them against the Cornell power play, which ranks first nationally, converting 30.9% of their opportunities. Tuesday night's game will be televised in the Syracuse area on Time Warner Cable Sportsnet. After Tuesday, Syracuse remain home this weekend to host CHA foe Lindenwood for two games at the Tennity Ice Pavillion.

CORINTH – A major project to increase the water supply of Corinth is nearing completion.
Officials say work is nearly done on a $50 million intake structure at the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and raw water transmission lines to a treatment plant that encompasses more than 60 acres.
"This time next year, we should be at the point where we are treating water," said Corinth Gas & Water Department Manager John Rhodes. "We needed a more dependable water source."
The plant has the capacity to withdraw 10 million gallons a day, while the city's usual peak demand is about 6 million gallons per day.
The increased water capacity is expected to help the city recruit new industries.

College Hockey:Levine stops 48 for shutout, sending Robert Morris past Penn State
PITTSBURGH — The Robert Morris Colonials and Penn State Nittany Lions opened the Inaugural Three Rivers Classic tonight at the Consol Energy Center, and from the drop of the puck, it looked as if the record crowd of 11,663 would be in for a close, hard-fought game with a few post-whistle dust-ups thrown in for good measure. However, the Colonials used a three-goal onslaught in a three-minute span at the end of the opening frame to propel them to a 6-0 victory and a spot in Saturday night's championship game.
Andrew Blazek opened the scoring on the second shift of the game when he took a puck in the neutral zone and skated around Penn State defenseman Peter Sweetland and unleashed a rising shot from the low left circle that clanked off the crossbar and behind starting Nittany Lions goaltender PJ Musico to put Robert Morris out front at the 1:49 mark. However, the early goal didn't phase Penn State at all as, it calmly took over the game over the middle portion of the first period.
The Nittany Lions received a golden chance to even the score midway through a power play when forward David Glen took a seeing-eye pass up the middle at the Colonials blue line for a breakaway scoring chance which was denied by Colonials starting goaltender Eric Levine.
For the next several minutes, it appeared the crowd would be in for a classic battle to the finish, not unlike the game between the two schools earlier in the month at Penn State.
However, the game changed on a dime in the final five minutes of the first when Robert Morris buried three shots behind Musico in rapid succession. The first came at 16:33 when senior forward Adam Brace skated through the Nittany Lions defense starting in the neutral zone en route to his sixth goal of the season. Not even a minute later, Cody Wydo hammered the first of a pair of rebounds home, the second coming at 19:02 of the first to put Robert Morris up 4-0 heading into the dressing room. The Nittany Lions seemingly had no answer for the line of Wydo, Brace, and freshman David Friedman, who kept coming up with one great rush over the blue line after another for much of the first period.
Musico was pulled in favor of Matthew Skoff in the Nittany Lions net for the remainder of the game.
"It was a tough hockey game for us," said Colonials coach Derek Schooley. "When you get a 4-0 lead, usually what happens is you take your foot off the gas and that's what we did. But we righted the ship in the third. I thought we were very good offensively tonight, and we were great from the red line in but a little sloppy in between the blue lines, and defensively we've got some things we need to tighten up. When we made some mistakes defensively, Levine was there to bail us out."
The second frame saw the Colonials take the foot off the gas, and had it not been for some timely saves from Levine, the game could have turned completely. Penn State applied the theory of whomever does not have the puck cannot score, and applied it very well, keeping the Colonials from organizing anything close to the offensive pressure they had maintained earlier in the contest. Penn State outshot Robert Morris, 14-4, for the period and dominated territory, but could get nothing past Levine, who stopped 48 shots on the night on the way to his third career shutout.
"Certainly we put ourselves in a deep hole tonight." said Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky. "It could have gone a little different. David Glen had a breakaway on our first power play and if we score that and a couple of those early goals stay out of our net who knows. But the bottom line is, we put ourselves in a hole and we couldn't get out of it. It's not like we came out and got 11 shots for the whole game; we just didn't finish. Robert Morris was either that much better or that much more prepared tonight."
In the final minute of the second, Glen received a major penalty and a game misconduct for contact to the head at 19:26. As the third period started, the Colonials could not do much of anything with the opportunity. A barrage of good Penn State penalty killing, mixed in with some unforced Colonials offsides plays and a few icings, spelled disaster. Then with four seconds left in the power play, freshman forward Matt Cope buried a rebound from teammate Zac Lynch's shot past Skoff to put the Robert Morris lead at five. The game then got more chippy with every shift, with altercations happening after a good many puck freezes.
Colonials defenseman Tyler Hinds closed out the scoring at 15:52 of the third when he sent a one-timer from Scott Jacklin past Skoff for his second goal of the year.
The win extended the Colonials unbeaten streak to six games and propelled them to the championship game Saturday night, when they take on Miami, while Penn State will face Ohio State for the first time in its history in the consolation game at 4:30 p.m.

We've reached the quarter pole of the season, and the Browns are still looking for their first win.
The headline may be 0-4, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Here are 10 takeaways after the first four games.
1. They're better
The Browns began last season, coach Pat Shurmur's first, with two wins in the first three games. The 2012 team is better.
I'll take rookie Brandon Weeden over Colt McCoy at quarterback. Trent Richardson is a star-in-the-making at running back. The rest of the roster is deeper and more talented.
The defensive line is seven deep without Phil Taylor. Young linebackers Craig Robertson and L.J. Fort have been pleasant surprises. Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz has held his own against difficult matchups.
The team's youth has been well-documented, and is to blame for the winless start. Just enough mistakes and missed chances have been the difference.
But the team is faster and more athletic and will continue to grow each week.
2. The answer
Weeden finally gives the Browns a chance to compete with the rest of the division at the game's most important position. He can make the same tough throws as Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Baltimore's Joe Flacco, and I like his makeup.
I know, I know, he has to start winning games. All the pretty throws in the world don't matter without victories. But the ability and intelligence are there for him to get over the hump, and he hasn't gotten much help from his supporting cast.
Weeden's biggest problem has been interceptions. He's thrown seven, including a critical pick-six Thursday night. He does a good job of making quick decisions and getting the ball out of his hand, but he needs to get a bit better going to his second and third options.
3. Wideout worries
The hot topic of the offseason hasn't cooled. The receiving corps remains a point of frustration.
Greg Little trimmed down in the offseason and seemed poised for a super sophomore season. But the drops that put a damper on his 61-catch rookie season have followed him into Year 2.
Josh Gordon was taken in the supplemental draft to become a No. 1, but so far, his catches per game (1.75) have barely exceeded that. He has the desired size and speed, but they've flashed only sporadically during games. The effort is inconsistent and he's more project than producer. If he doesn't figure it out quickly, general manager Tom Heckert will be ripped for sacrificing a second-round pick in 2012.
Mohamed Massaquoi was an early bright spot as the most consistent target for Weeden, but he injured his hamstring and has missed the last game and a half. He needs to quickly return, continue the good start and prove he can be durable and reliable.
Rookie Travis Benjamin has elite speed, which makes him unique on this offense. But he's slight of build and shies away from contact, which limits his role.
4. Real deal
Rookie running back Trent Richardson is a special player and someone defenses have to worry about already. He fights for every yard and is strong enough to move the pile. He also showed difference-making speed to beat the Ravens to the pylon on a 1-yard touchdown run Thursday night.
Richardson is just as special off the field. He's a motivated individual who expects greatness from himself and his teammates. His personality was needed in the Cleveland locker room and will prevent the season from getting ugly.
5. Huge hole
There was never any doubt Joe Haden was Cleveland's top cornerback. But his absence has shown him to be the best player on the entire defense.
His presence changes the game. Not only does he raise the talent level, but he affects the scheme and communication of the whole unit.
Dimitri Patterson has proved he should start alongside Haden when he returns, with veteran Sheldon Brown and youngster Buster Skrine splitting time against three-receiver sets. The Browns will benefit in the long term from the force-feeding of playing time to Skrine and rookie nickelback Trevin Wade.
Haden will be welcomed back with open arms, but Shurmur should make it clear to Haden his selfish move left the team in a terrible spot. The Browns would've won in Cincinnati if Haden were on the field. For that, he must apologize to teammates, coaches and fans.
6. The playmaker
Middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson has been a stable presence, when healthy, since Phil Savage drafted him in the second round in 2006. But he had been searching for impact plays.
He's found them.
Jackson is comfortable in his second season in the 4-3 scheme, which uses the front four to spare him from constantly having a guard in his face. He's playing fast and free, running from sideline to sideline, dropping in coverage and blitzing.
The result has been a series of impact plays to start the season. He has two interceptions, three sacks, a touchdown and a number of big hits.
Jackson should finally make his first Pro Bowl.
7. Why's he here?
I don't know why fullback Owen Marecic has a roster spot.
He isn't a linebacker-smashing lead blocker. In fact, Richardson often runs away from his block.
He isn't a receiver. He's had two chances to pick up first downs with short catches, but dropped them both, and looked uncoordinated doing it.
Marecic, a fourth-round pick in 2011, is smart and has a role on special teams, but makes no impact on offense. He doesn't have the power or athleticism to succeed in the NFL.
8. Unlikely backup
Montario Hardesty hasn't played an offensive snap. Brandon Jackson has been a healthy inactive the last three games. In a surprise to everyone besides Shurmur, Chris Ogbonnaya has seized the role of third-down back.
Ogbonnaya is a favorite of Shurmur's since their days together in St. Louis and filled in admirably as a midseason pickup in 2011. He gets time ahead of a second-round pick (Hardesty) and free-agent signee (Jackson). He can catch (11 receptions) and pick up the blitz. The perfect example was on Little's drop in the end zone Thursday night, as Ogbonnaya gave Weeden time to throw by laying out linebacker Ray Lewis on his blitz up the middle.
Richardson's role will increase as the season progresses with time on third down, but it's good to know Ogbonnaya can step in when needed.
9. For kicks
Phil Dawson continues to amaze. He's 8-for-8 on field goals, including 50-, 51- and 52-yarders Thursday that kept the Browns in striking distance. He's not only gotten more accurate with age — he's 37 — his leg has gotten stronger.
Punter Reggie Hodges hasn't been nearly as consistent in his return from a torn Achilles tendon. His kicks were too flat until Thursday night, when he was told to add hang time to reduce the returns. Hodges has had success in the past, but needs to improve on a net of 36.6 yards.
10. Watch for wins
I thought before the season the team would be much improved in Week 8. I still feel the same.
Weeden will only get better with every rep he takes against NFL defenses. Richardson is still recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery Aug. 9. The rest of the rookies and second-year players are gaining valuable experience.
Throw in the return of Haden and the expected return of Taylor from a torn pectoral muscle, and I expect the close losses to turn into victories in the second half of the year.

The GAF Nomad is a twin-engine turboprop, braced high-winged,
STOL aircraft . It was designed and built by the Government Aircraft
Factories (GAF) at Fishermens Bend, Melbourne.
Development of the aircraft began in 1965. Two government funded
prototypes were ordered in January 1970, as the government was keen
to build an aircraft in order to maintain aircraft production at GAF
after the licence production of Dassault Mirage III aircraft ended.
The prototype (VH-SUP) first flew on 23 July 1971. The aircraft was now
known as the N2 and was aimed at the military and civilian markets.
The designation N22 was to be used for military aircraft and N24 was to
be used for the lengthened civilian version.
The original design intention was that the entire empennage would be
hinged, such that it could be swung open providing rear loading access
(the target payload was a small vehicle). This necessitated the raised
cruciform tail, which eventually caused a number of problems in
The Nomad design was considered problematic and early RAAF
evaluations were critical of the design. An early, stretched-body variant
crashed, killing GAF's chief test pilot, and assistant head designer. The
Nomad has been involved in a total of 24 total hull-loss accidents, and
76 fatalities.
Only 170 Nomads were manufactured, due to the limited foreign sales
achieved by GAF. On 18 June 2008, Gippsland Aeronautics announced
they had won bidding to take over the Nomad's type certificate and
would probably be restarting production.
Major users of the design have included the Royal Flying Doctor Service
of Australia, the Australian Army and the Australian Customs Service.
The CD includes RAAF flight manuals covering both main variants
of the GAF Nomad plus several colour brochures. The CD has been
scanned from the original manuals and retains any colour pages.
This CD contains:
1. RAAF Flight Manual for the Nomad N22 Mk 1, AAP 7211.016-1

Well I was thinking on this problem, any idea to progress will be gladly accepted, Let $f:\Omega\rightarrow V$ be a biholomorphic map where $\Omega$ and $V$ are bounded open set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $\mathbb{C}^w$ boundary, Does $f$ extend continously to the boundary? for n=1 and not $\mathbb{C}^w$ boundary I have got the answer from thomas here.

It's true if $\Omega$ and $V$ are strictly pseudoconvex with $C^\infty$ boundary. It is also true for real-analytic boundaries if the domains are pseudoconvex.
For the non-pseudoconvex case, I need to check some references, but I'm pretty sure the problem has not been solved in full generality. I'm not aware of any counterexamples (for real analytic boundary.)

The Resident Evil movies have been a fun ride, where they have evolved out of the first one to somewhat of a crazy action movie. I don't know if the quality of the movies are slipping, but they're still making large sums of money for Sony's Screen Gems.
They've just confirmed a release date of September 12, 2014 for Resident Evil 6, which should start filming this fall. Milla Jovovich will return as Alice, and we should hear more about the movie in the near future - where we should hear the official title for the movie in the coming months.

College Hockey:Can't Get Any Closer: New Hampshire Rallies To Overtime Win Against North Dakota
LeBlanc, Fortney Heroes For Buzzer-Beating Wildcats
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Cutting it close would be an understatement.
Third seed New Hampshire rocketed into the Northeast Regional finals in a 6-5 overtime thriller against second-seeded North Dakota Saturday. Thomas Fortney's goal with 0.1 seconds left in regulation and Peter LeBlanc's game winner 45 seconds into OT roused the 6,838 in attendance at the Verizon Wireless Arena as the Wildcats won their first NCAA game in the past four years.
The Wildcats brought themselves back from the dead after being swept by Boston College in the Hockey East semifinals. North Dakota was also coming off two losses, but the resuscitation of both teams produced an 11-goal game as well as a multiple-point matinee performance for five Wildcats and two Fighting Sioux: LeBlanc, Jerry Pollastrone, Bobby Butler, Mike Sislo, Greg Collins, and North Dakota's Chris VandeVelde and Matt Frattin.
"The University of New Hampshire showed a ton of character," said North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol. "The way they played today, they got a good bounce to the puck, and they had an awful lot of good play on their team today. From our standpoint, I am extremely proud of this hockey team. We've been a good team throughout the year and have an absolute first-class group of guys in our locker room. It's painful to go out in this fashion."
"First off, I just want to congratulate North Dakota," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "As far as we are concerned, we are very excited. We love playing here and we're excited to play here and win. We stayed with it and didn't panic."
The Fighting Sioux outshot the Wildcats in the first and second periods and accumulated 45 shots on goal to UNH's 34. Nevertheless, two minutes into the opening stanza, North Dakota senior Matt Watkins took a seat for hooking and the Wildcats capitalized with the man advantage at 2:34.
UNH's leading goalscorer, Sislo, beat Fighting Sioux netminder Brad Eidsness (28 saves) by tapping it in on the rush for his sixth power-play goal of the season.
Exactly one minute later the Fighting Sioux answered after winning a faceoff from the right circle. North Dakota rookie Jason Gregoire curled around toward the slot and sent the puck in past Brian Foster (40 saves) stick-side to tie it up.
Soon after, the Fighting Sioux nabbed the lead during a four-on-four when senior Andrew Kozek fed the puck from behind the net to Brad Malone, who was waiting at the crease to beat Foster stick-side again at 13:55.
With three and a half minutes to go Kessel shot from the right circle, but it was deflected and then soon after, van Riemsdyk tried to stuff in multiple rebounds at the crease, but it was not yet the time for UNH.
The Wildcats clawed back early in the second when Pollastrone descended on Eidsness for a one-on-one. Pollastrone drove to the right side of the net and lifted the puck high over Eidsness' glove to put his team back in the running.
The Wildcats scored again at 7:21. LeBlanc back-passed to Collins coming down the left wing and the captain fed the rubber back to LeBlanc, who beat a diving Eidsness glove-side for UNH's third goal of the day to put the Wildcats ahead.
The Fighting Sioux did not retreat. Captain Ryan Duncan nabbed the tying goal at 9:47 off a rebound after Gregoire wrapped around the back of the Wildcat net for a shot also touched by Foster and Brett Hextall before Duncan put it away
North Dakota took the lead back at 17:06. Malone skated down the left wing with the puck and sent it past a defender to the bottom of the slot where VandeVelde chipped it past Foster to edge his team ahead once again.
In the opening minutes of the third stanza, Duncan had another chance at the doorstep while Foster was out of position, but the captain lost control of puck, barely getting off a shot that hit the post.
VandeVelde answered again at 9:08, tallying his second goal of the game as he jammed it in along the right post to give the Fighting Sioux a two-goal cushion.
But just like that, the Wildcats were back in it. From the right point, Damon Kipp sent the puck across just wide of the net, and Collins was there to one-time it through Eidsness.
Desperate with 57 seconds remaining, UNH called a timeout and after a scuffle in front of the North Dakota net, the play was reviewed to determine the pivotal location of the faceoff, which ended up in the North Dakota zone.
The rest was history. From the right point, Kapstad passed it over to Sislo, who rifled a shot that whacked the boards behind the net. Pollastrone pulled the puck out to the front, where Fortney was there to shove it in and hold onto his team's hopes of banging out a fashionable victory.
"Not a chance," said Fortney, when asked if he could duplicate the goal. "It actually worked out the way we drew it up. I was put up to take it off my backhand back to Kapstad, over to Sislo, who ended up shooting it wide. Then Jerry got it back from behind the net and I got it in with 0.1 seconds left."
To put the cherry on top of UNH's hopes of playing on Sunday, LeBlanc finished it off 45 seconds into OT.
"I just stepped off the bench," said LeBlanc. Jerry took it up to the blue line and I just tried to get up there and he gave me a great pass."
Umile wrapped it up. "This win is up there. This is great for UNH hockey and for the university," he said. "When you win these games that's what makes it so satisfying and rewarding. There's nothing like it."
The Wildcats will see if that sweet taste of victory culminates Sunday in the regional title game, where they face the winner of the Boston University-Ohio State game at 5:30 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Arena.

The dog days of summer may be winding down, but the dogs at the Medina Municipal Pool's annual Dog Swim Party on Sunday partied like summer was just beginning.
From poodles to bulldogs, more than 45 dogs of various breeds and sizes and their owners came to the pool to support the county Animals' Disaster Team.
The Cleveland-based organization acts as the Red Cross for animals, dispatching to disaster areas to make sure animals are cared for just as much as humans in times of crisis, coordinator Sue Gundich said.
The dog swim usually raises a few hundred dollars for the organization, Gundich said.
"We're so grateful to the city of Medina for letting us use the pool," Gundich said. "I don't think I've ever seen dogs as happy as when they swim like this."
For a $6 donation, the pool was open to anyone who wanted to bring their canine friends for a swim or just to socialize with other dogs. The afternoon also featured door prizes and contests for the best-dressed dog, most talented dog, and the dogs with the longest and shortest tails.
Fox 8 meteorologist and Medina Township resident Dick Goddard even made an appearance with his two dogs.
Some owners swam with their dogs, while others stood on the sides of the pool, tossing toys or offering encouragements to their pets.
But not all the dogs on Sunday were too crazy about the water.
Medina resident Scott Freeland's Boston terrier, Sophie, swims in a kiddie pool at home but wasn't too happy about the depth of the Medina pool, Freeland said.
"Sophie's not a strong swimmer," he said. "I think she was just star-struck by Dick Goddard."
Head lifeguard Julie Worsdall said she had to rescue a few dogs during the day, including an 11-week-old puppy that fell in and started sinking.
Darlene Donkin, the aquatics manager for the Medina Recreation Center, said the biggest task of the day is draining the water to clean up the dog hair after the event.
But despite the work, Donkin said the annual swim is her favorite event of the summer.
There will be another Doggie Pool Party 4 to 8 p.m. today at the Medina Municipal Pool, 421 E. Homestead St., to raise money for The County Animals Rescue & Evacuation. For more information, visit www.careoh.org or call (330) 421-4258.

Disease Proof
In the Future Soda will be Even Scarier!
Honestly, there's no reason to drink soda or soft drinks. They're sugar water that sometimes comes with bubbles. Yippee! But the soda of the future will be much, much worse:
Then again, drinking a gooey discharge from a giant slug's butt could be better than drinking a can of cola that's engineered in a lab and bottled in a factory. Eek!
