Patriot League Golf Fall Schedule
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Patriot League golf teams get their 2012-13 seasons in full swing this weekend, with the first of two events that will preview the spring's Patriot League championships.
Women's golf has been added as the 24th Patriot League championship sport, with Bucknell, Holy Cross and Lehigh set to compete during the 2012-13 season. This weekend, we'll get an early look at the first-ever championship when Bucknell welcomes Lehigh as part of the field at the 54-hole Bucknell Invitational. The inaugural Patriot League Women's Golf Championship will be held at the Bucknell Golf Club on Apr. 20-21. Boston University also has women's golf and will begin competing in the Patriot League in 2013-14.
Bucknell, Holy Cross and Lehigh will continue their fall schedules with multiple events, with the Bison women competing five times and the Crusaders and Mountain Hawks each hitting the course for four events.
On the men's side, Colgate, Navy, Bucknell and Lehigh will each host fall events that welcome Patriot League teams to the field. The last of those will be the Lehigh Invitational on Oct. 20-21, with Bucknell, Colgate and Lafayette all joining the Mountain Hawks at Saucon Valley Country Club. The course will host the 2013 Patriot League Men's Golf Championship on April 27-28.
This weekend, Colgate and Navy will host their fall events. The Raiders welcome Bucknell and Lehigh to their field, while the Mids will be joined by Lafayette in Annapolis. Next weekend's Bucknell Invitational includes the host along with Colgate and Lehigh.
There will be additional events with multiple Patriot League teams in the fall, along with a pair of rivalry dual matches. Navy and Army face off in the annual Star Match on Sept. 22-23 in Paramus, N.J., while Lehigh and Lafayette will square off on Oct. 9 in Gladestone, N.J.
Army is the only team that has competed, finishing ninth out of 13 squads at last weekend's Turning Stone Intercollegiate. The fall season spans into early November when the Black Knights and Colgate wrap things up at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate on Nov. 3-4.
Loyola University of Maryland also has men's golf and will begin play in the Patriot League in the 2013-14 season.

Fostia Tunes Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CDI
A Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CDI was enhanced recently by Fostia, a tuning company based in Hannover, according to a report from motorward.com. The company did not limit its enhancement to the physical appearance of the vehicle since the engine of the vehicle was also given a power upgrade by Fostia. A matte gold wrap was provided for the entire body of the vehicle, which was lowered with the addition of a custom suspension. The aero body kit of Prior Design was used on the vehicle along with 20-inch alloy wheels from Vossen.

Women whose diets most closely match the traditional Mediterranean diet — high in monounsaturated fat, plant proteins, whole grains and fish — are significantly less likely to develop heart disease and stroke, according to American researchers.
In a study of women who participated in the famed Nurses' Health Study, those whose diets most closely resembled the Mediterranean one – compared to those whose diet least matched it – had a 29 per cent reduction in heart disease risk and a 13 per cent reduction in stroke risk.
Women on the Mediterranean-style diet had a 39 per cent reduction in combined coronary heart disease and stroke mortality compared to women whose diets least matched it.
During 20 years of follow-up, researchers found 2,391 incidents of coronary heart disease, 1,763 strokes and a combined total of 1,077 fatal heart attacks and strokes.
Previous studies showed a link between the Mediterranean diet and a reduced risk of cardiovascular death in men and women. This is one of the few studies with enough participants to meaningfully examine the incidence of non-fatal heart disease or stroke individually.

Yeadon's Damon Gormley has topped the JCT600 Bradford League Division bowling averages.
The experienced off spinner finished the season with 56 wickets at an average of 9.68.
His performances were one of the highlights of an inconsistent season from Yeadon who finished in seventh place.
The final weekend's double programme saw them hammer Spen Victoria by 164 runs before losing by three-wickets at Hartshead Moor.
The undoubted highlight of Saturday's final home game against Spen Victoria was Kasir Maroof's maiden Bradford League century for the club.
The left-hander has flourished in his second season at the club and finished the campaign with 682 runs.
Maroof struck a six and 15 fours in an innings that enabled his side to post a total of 242-7.
Spen were dismissed for just 78 in reply with Mahmood Rasool (3-21) and Ben Elvidge (3-17) meeting with little resistance.
The clash with Hartshead Moor was a nail-biter.
The home side snatched the victory when Martin Riley hit Elvidge for six off the penultimate ball of the match.
Skipper Simon North (71) and Craig Field (37) were responsible for helping Hartshead Moor to overhaul a Yeadon score of 201, despite some good bowling from Rasool (4-51).
The Yeadon innings owed much to a knock of 90 from Oliver Halliday while skipper James Goldthorp, coming in at number nine, made 30.
Yeadon failed in their bid to win the Second Teams Division One title.
They defeated Pudsey St Lawrence by five wickets in their final game but Farsley pipped them to the title by six points after beating bottom team Windhill by nine wickets.

ADD and medication
My son was diagnosed with ADD (now called ADHD) in first grade. He was held back and we tried counseling because we didn't know if the troubles he was having was due to an emotional issue (parent's separation). His counselor diagnosed him with ADD-mostly just focusing issues and he was put on concerta. My son is now in 6th grade and his teacher is reporting that he looks zoned out, tired, etc. and asked if we had tried lowering his meds. Why would we lower them if we increased them a year ago due to low performance? I would love for him to not have to take medication, but when he doesn't he cannot focus in school. I'm afraid for him going into middle school. We live in a rural area and there is not a behavioral therapist, etc....If he didn't have the meds what else can we do? We don't want him to fail school.In Topics: ADHD & attention issues

When the mainstream sees us fighting for marijuana legalization, some may think it is just about wanting to get high without getting arrested. In truth, marijuana prohibition affects more of Americans' civil liberties than just about any other issue. Can you think of any other issue that so directly affects...
First Amendment: Freedom of speech, unless you want to advertise your marijuana shop. Freedom of religion, unless you're a Rastafarian. Freedom of press, except when they want to put HIGH TIMES behind the counter. Freedom of assembly, unless you're on probation for pot and can't associate with marijuana users. Petition the government, like NORML and ASA have done for decades and been denied all the way, even when the government's own judges agree with them.
Second Amendment: Right to bear arms, except that owning even a legal firearm while committing pot "crimes" like possession with intent to deliver makes you eligible for enhanced sentences, including life in prison in some states.
Third Amendment: Government can't force you to house its soldiers during peacetime. But worse than a soldier in your house is the electronic tracking devices cops can put on your car in your own driveway without a warrant or your knowledge if they suspect you're a grower.
Fourth Amendment: Protection against unreasonable search and seizure, unless a human or canine cop can smell (or pretend to smell) marijuana near you. Requirement for search warrants based on probable cause, which can be a rat fingering you for a grow you don't have, leading to a no-knock SWAT raid that kills your dog and terrifies your children.
Fifth Amendment: Your right to due process, so long as you don't mention your legal state medical marijuana use in a federal court proceeding. Your right against self-incrimination, other than the contents of your urine on a drug test incriminating you for pot "crimes".
Sixth Amendment: Your right to fair and speedy public trial, which can mean waiting over three years for a trial without bail if you're THC Ministry's Roger Christie. Your right to confront your accusers, which is difficult when your accuser is a K-9 who claimed your trunk was full of pot -- how do you cross-examine a dog?
Seventh Amendment: Right to trial by jury in civil cases where the controversy is over twenty bucks or more, unless you were thinking about suing your dealer for contaminated weed or short weights.
Eighth Amendment: No excessive fines or bail, unless you're a medical marijuana grower facing millions of dollars of both. No cruel and unusual punishment, so long as you don't consider jailing patients without their medicine and allowing them to die in their prison cell as "cruel and unusual."
Ninth Amendment: The protection of rights not enumerated in the Constitution, which was the Founders' way of saying "We couldn't write down ALL of the rights the people have!" Those rights must include a personal right to farm hemp, because why wouldn't a bunch of hemp farmers in an agrarian economy that required planting of hemp and payment of taxes in hemp consider that a right? They could never even possibly conceive that some future government would want to ban it!
Tenth Amendment: The "States Rights" amendment -- unless your state has voted to allow medical use of marijuana and the operation of marijuana dispensaries.
Thirteenth Amendment: Abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude, but has a loophole that allows those practices if you're convicted of a marijuana "crime", so you can work for 11-cents-an-hour for a private prison corporation.
Fourteenth Amendment: The "Equal Protection" amendment that protects your civil rights as you travel from state to state, unless you're a medical marijuana patient who'd like to use her medicine on a trip outside her state or the five that recognize other states' cards.
Fifteenth Amendment: Protects the right to vote from discrimination based on race or color, except for all those mostly black and Latino people busted for drug felonies who lose their right to vote, some for life.
Nineteenth Amendment: Established the right to vote for women, except those wives and girlfriends of drug dealers who knew little to nothing about the "crimes," had nobody to snitch on, and ended up doing longer felony sentences than the husbands or boyfriends, losing the right to vote in the process.
Twenty-Sixth Amendment: Established the right to vote for 18-20-year-olds, except that the drug war disproportionately targets young people, saddles them with an arrest record, and those with felonies lose their right to vote.
That's 15 of the 27 Amendments to the Constitution that have been wrecked by the War on Marijuana. Don't let anyone tell you repealing prohibition isn't a civil rights issue.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Jones, Jo (Jonathan David Samuel)
The sound of Jo Jones' drums defined the sound of swing: he brought the beat up from the bass drum into the drummer's hands, which took rhythm into the modern era. He expanded the drum kit's palette of accents, and forged a path for every drummer who has followed in his soft steps. His "ting-ta-ting" taps are ubiquitous, yet few listeners realize this is the sound Jo built.
Jones's elegant, propulsive groove laid the foundation for William "Count" Basie's breakout big band hits, such as "Tickle Toe," and "One O'Clock Jump." . Also not to be missed are the drummer's memorable small-group sessions with Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday and Lester Young, such as "I Can't Get Started" and "A Sailboat in the Moonlight."
Jonathan David Samuel Jones was born in Chicago, Illinois to Elizabeth and Samuel Jones. From an early age, he developed a taste for life on the road: his father worked as an itinerant shipbuilder and electrician along canals and rivers, and the family followed, settling for a while in Pittsburgh, then in Alabama.
At age five, little Jo suffered burns from head to toe in an accident. His father brought home a ukelele to soothe the bedridden boy, his first musical instrument. When his condition improved, his Aunt Mattie took him to the see the Ringling Brothers Circus.
There, he was transfixed when he heard the sound of the drum played by August Helmecke, who played with John Philip Sousa. "The bass drum hit my stomach and I never relinquished that feeling," Jones recalled. "That was my indoctrination to music." Aunt Mattie then bought the rhythm-addled boy a snare drum, which he taught himself to play for tips of ice cream and candy around the neighborhood.
When Jo was ten, his father was killed in an accident on a barge near Tuscaloosa. Unable to support the family, Elizabeth enrolled her son at an orphanage school, where he got his first musical training. He later attended Lincoln Junior High in Birmingham and an agricultural school near Huntsville, where he learned to play the trumpet, saxophone and piano. "I didn't think I would end up a drummer," Jones later told bassist Milt Hinton. "I was trying out all these instruments, but somehow I played drums on all of them."
Jones developed an early taste for show business. He began to hang around the stage door at Birmingham's Famous Theater, where for every day for six months he would sit and watch Wilson Driver play drums to accompany silent movies. "He'd be there every day in the second row, staring at me the same way a rattlesnake does his victim," Driver recalled. "When he finally let me show him some things, he would often question my methods. Occasionally, he'd suggest how I might do better."
Driver introduced the quasi-orphan to vaudeville performers, including the popular comedy act Butterbeans and Susie, who occasionally let him play drums with their act at the Frolic Theater. By age thirteen, Jones was on the road, performing on the vaudeville circuit as well as at carnivals, circuses, Chautaquas and medicine tent shows. He would sing, act, dance, and play the drums as well as other instruments.
As Jones told the story, once he discovered the drummer was the best-paid member of a band, he set aside other instruments. His skills quickly developed as he traveled from Texas to Canada with bands such as the Dixie Ramblers, Walter Page's Blue Devils and the Bennie Moten Ensemble.
Synthesizing his experience in these bands, he began to develop his own sense of rhythm, which the world would soon come to know as swing: he smoothed out the odd-beat accents favored by early jazz drummers into a lilting, four-beat pulse.
"It was like a marriage," Jones explained. "Moten played on one and three. Walter Page played on two and four. When they wedded together, you had the one and the three against the two and the four, like a bouncing ball."
In 1931, Jones recorded for the first time, with Lloyd Hunter's Serenaders and blues singer Victoria Spivey. His playing on these recordings is remarkable for the era, full of orchestral colors, making him one of the first drummers to take advantage of the drum kit's full range of timbral as well as rhythmic possibilities.
In fact, some say Jones invented the modern drum kit, when he raised the "low boy," a foot-operated pair of cymbals used by early drummers, from below the knee to waist height, and placed it next to the snare drum, so he could mark accents to the music's pulse.
Modern drummers call Jones's creation the "high hat," and more than anything else its addition to the drum kit helped create the pulse not only of swing, but of all contemporary music. Adding the high hat to the kit brought the beat up from the bass drum into the drummer's hands, where he has more freedom to experiment with accents and colors.
In February of 1934, Jones found himself in Kansas City, where he reunited with friends from the Page and Moten groups, which had recently disbanded. One of these, pianist Bill Basie, saw an opportunity to regroup the pool of talented musicians as a big band under his leadership. Now known as "Count" Basie, his group – with Jones at the drum kit – defined the rhythms of the Swing Era that kept the nation dancing through World War II.
Jones stayed with Basie for the next fourteen years. Together, they recorded unforgettable sides for Columbia Records producer John Hammond, which include "Shoe Shine Boy," "Boogie Woogie" and "Lady Be Good." In fact, Basie's first hits from November of 1936 were recorded under Jones's name, since the bandleader was under contract to a different label, Decca, at the time.
Early in 1937, Basie moved his ensemble to New York, and Jones and other band members picked up occasional work – often under Hammond's guidance – at small-group recording sessions with local artists, such as clarinetist Benny Goodman and singer Billie Holiday. These include "One O'Clock Jump," which became the Basie band's signature tune, "Me, Myself and I" and "Honeysuckle Rose."
Jones refined his drum kit technique during the Basie band's long engagements at New York's Roseland Ballroom and Famous Door nightclubs in 1937. He began to use wire brushes at times instead of sticks, to achieve a lighter touch. "Jo Jones had that thing, that swing that everybody dug so much," said Jay McShann, who led a rival band at the time. "His rhythm was light and natural. It was there, easy to feel, it got you going. See, it wasn't 'right to it, right to it, right to it,' you understand? It was somewhere between tight and loose."
One of Jones's closest friends in the Basie band was tenor saxophonist Lester Young, who joined the group in November of 1936. Like Jo, Lester spent much of his youth traveling with circuses and carnival tent shows. Together, they produced some of the most memorable sides in all of recorded jazz, often with little or no rehearsal - these include "Lester Leaps In"and "Dickie's Dream" from September of 1939. Jones also reunited with Young to record poignant tracks in the saxophonist's twilight years, such as their 1956 version of "All of Me."
By 1944, Jones, Young and the other members of the Basie band were stars, as much as any African-American performers could be at the time. Jones and Young were asked to perform in a documentary film on jazz, "Jammin' the Blues," which is nominated for an Oscar. However, their careers were stalled when they were drafted into the Army.
The Army offered Jones an opportunity to play in a military band in Washington instead of active duty. Young, however, was sent into the infantry. Jones then insisted on being sent to the infantry, like his friend. While he ultimately rose to the rank of second lieutenant, the nonconformist Young did not fare as well in military life. Jones frequently visited his friend after he was placed in military detention for insubordination.
Jones rejoined Basie's band after his discharge from the Army in February of 1946, but the public's musical tastes were starting to shift. The group recorded a number of songs, including "Rambo," "The King," "Stay On It," and a number-one hit with the novelty tune, "Open the Door, Richard." However, the golden age of big bands was over, and Jones retired from Basie's band in 1948. The two remained friends and reunited on several occasions, such as in 1957, when they recorded "I Left My Baby."
Jones and other Swing-Era titans, including Lester Young, found steady work over the next decade in the Jazz at the Philharmonic road show organized by producer Norman Granz, the founder of Verve and Pablo Records. Jones joined the ensemble to record at Carnegie Hall in September of 1947, and toured off and on with the ensemble.
When not on the road, Jones held court at the Embers restaurant on 54th Street in Manhattan, with Milt Hinton on vibes and Joe Bushkin on piano. Small groups like this became Jones's mainstay for the next two decades, such his trio with Ray Bryant on piano and Tommy Bryant on bass which recorded "Little Susie," or the trio with Ray brown again on bass and guitarist Herb Ellis which backed singer Blossom Dearie on "They Say It's Spring," both from 1957. Jones recorded several albums for Granz, Hammond and Everest Records in this period which capture the informal feeling of his club dates.
Jones could also be frequently found onstage at the Newport Jazz Festival, where promoter George Wein asked him to serve as "house drummer" at the inaugural festival in 1954. That year, Jones was reunited to play with Basie, Young and Holiday, and he returned to play at the festival – as well as at Charles Mingus's alternative "Newport Rebels" festival – in coming years.
As "house drummer" at Newport, Jones got ample opportunity to demonstrate his showmanship and versatility, hearkening back to his days on the vaudeville circuit. Among the unlikely artists Wein paired him with on stage at Newport were Chuck Berry, with whom he performed "Sweet Little Sixteen" and blues belter Big Maybelle, with whom he performed I Ain't Mad At You" in July of 1958.
In August of 1955, Jones reunited with Basie and the other members of Basie's "All-American Rhythm Section" with Walter Page on bass, and Freddie Green on guitar, to record a two-LP album, The Jo Jones Special, for Hammond on Vanguard Records.
While Jones remained a fixture on the New York jazz scene and continued to record and perform, by the seventies his fame had been largely eclipsed by younger players and new styles. He helped his friend Frank Ipolito run a drum store, where he cultivated the talents of younger players, and emerged onstage from time to time to remind audiences – and younger drummers – that he still had fire in his sticks.
In July of 1973, Jones joined an all-star cast of drummers – all younger than he - in Central Park for a concert. Jones listened respectfully as Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, and others performed before he took the stage. "Papa Jo closed the show," recalled drummer Charlie Persip. "He came out on the stage with a hi hat and a chair and some brushes in his back pocket and some sticks. He sat down and proceeded to wipe everybody out. He wiped us out, man, with a hi hat! It was beautiful."
Jones suffered a stroke as well as cancer, yet continued to perform into the eighties at weekly gigs at the West End café near Columbia University, curated by radio producer Phil Schaap, a longtime friend. When Basie died in April of 1984, Jones was asked to perform at a memorial concert at Carnegie Hall in June. Because of his frailty, until the very end of the concert it was unclear whether he would be able to take the stage.
"Jo, alone on stage, started slow and uncertain," recalled Nat Hentoff. "Then, his eyes shining, Jo got it together," George Wein, the concert's promoter, was standing in the wings looking at his watch, anxious he might have to pay Carnegie Hall's egregious overtime fees. He shouted at Jones to wrap it up. Smiling, Jones shouted back, "I'm not going back in there no more!"
Jones died on September 3, 1985 in New York City, six months after he was named a Jazz Master by the United States' National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the nation's highest honor for jazz musicians. He is also a member of the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies Hall of Fame and Jazz at Lincoln Center's Nesuhi Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame.
Jones left behind an unforgettable legacy of recordings and musical innovations that can be heard in virtually every drum performance today.
Max Roach summed up the feelings of gratitude that he and many drummers felt for Jo in a memorial service held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Manhattan.
"For every three beats a drummer plays, he owes Jo five," Roach said. "He is the greatest drummer who ever lived."

INDEPENDENCE – LeBron James is done coming off the bench. Larry Hughes might not be.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown won`t commit to saying Hughes will be his sixth man on a permanent basis – and Hughes isn`t totally sold on the idea, either – but the two-game results have been impressive.
Hughes had 22 points off the bench Saturday in Charlotte, then exploded for 36 Tuesday against Indiana – when he made 13 of 17 attempts from the field to raise his shooting percentage from .307 to .391.
"Larry Hughes was as good as anybody," Pacers center Troy Murphy said. "He hit (five) threes and he was going to the cup. He was great."
Since Hughes has never really found his niche in two-plus seasons in Cleveland, Brown is toying with the idea of bringing the 6-foot-5, 185-pounder off the bench on a permanent basis. How serious the coach is about the idea changes from day to day, but it`s likely to continue for at least a few more games.
"I thought Larry played a whale of a game," Brown said following the Indiana game. "He got some great looks and he took advantage of the looks he had. That was fun to watch."
Hughes isn`t going to score 36 points off the bench on a regular basis – or even the 22 he got against Charlotte, for that matter – but using him that way makes sense on several fronts.
No. 1, he`s athletic and can create opportunities for himself and others, something that can`t be said about reserves Damon Jones and Devin Brown.
No. 2, regular starting shooting guard Sasha Pavlovic has decent athleticism, but his timid nature and up-and-down play after missing the entire preseason probably make him better suited to play the majority of his minutes with James, where he can better take advantage of his teammate`s multiple talents.
No. 3, Hughes can come in off the bench with a care-free, aggressive attitude and not worry as much about deferring to James, with whom he has never totally meshed since joining the Cavs as a free agent. On nights when Hughes has it going, Brown can ride him. On nights when he`s clanging jumpers off the rim, which history says he will do more often than not, the Cavs can yank him.
In a best-case scenario, the St. Louis native will fill the role Manu Ginobili has filled for San Antonio, or Jason Terry or Jerry Stackhouse has filled with the Dallas Mavericks.
Not only that, if the oft-injured Hughes goes down again – he recently missed 11 games with a bruised knee – the Cavs can immediately plug Jones, Shannon Brown or Devin Brown into his spot off the bench and avoid altering their starting lineup.
For the time being, though, the Cavs are just happy to have Hughes playing – and playing well.
"Mentally, he is going out there and playing the game of basketball," James said. "He`s a natural (shooting) guard. What he does best is come off screens and go off the dribble and make shots. He`s been in the zone the last two games and we need that from him. We don`t expect him to go out and score 30-plus points every night, but we need him to go out and score points for us and play the way he played (against the Pacers)."
Hughes, as thoughtful and likable a guy as there is on the team off the court, has never felt totally comfortable since signing with the Cavs in the summer of 2005. He`s never come out and directly criticized the coaching staff or front office, but he`s also never really held himself accountable for his struggles.
Last season, for instance, he seemed to like the idea of playing point guard when he was performing well. Now, he`s done almost a 180-degree turn and said he prefers to play without the ball in his hands.
"I`ve been catching a rhythm and have had the opportunity to play off the ball more," Hughes said. "I think that works better for what I like to do."
Whether his long-term role doing that – Mike Brown said Hughes will also have to play some point guard from time to time – will be off the bench or in the starting lineup hasn`t really been decided, but one thing is certain: James will be back in the starting lineup Friday night when the Cavs visit the New Jersey Nets.
"That`s over with," the 6-8, 250-pounder said of his reserve role after scoring 17 points off the bench against Indiana.
James had started 365 straight games as a pro (332 in the regular season, 33 in the playoffs). The small forward, who did come off the bench in a number of games for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004, did like the thought of one thing, however.
"Sixth Man and (NBA) MVP, huh?" he quipped.
Well, maybe not if the experiment of using Hughes off the bench goes extremely well.

Cavaliers happy having Hughes come off the bench, so far

College Hockey:Beamer Keys Black Knights Past Yellow Jackets
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Seth Beamer turned in a career-high four points as Army strolled to a 5-2 victory over visiting American International College Friday night at Tate Rink. The Black Knights picked up their second straight win in the process to improve to 7-7-2 on the season and 3-6-2 in Atlantic Hockey. AIC falls to 3-13-1 overall and 2-6-1 in the league.
Army scored three times off of faceoffs in the second period to open up a 4-2 lead heading into the third. Nick Cahill blasted a shot home from the point seven minutes into the second stanza after Beamer won the draw cleanly back to the junior defenseman.
Chad Mayfield then unleashed a wicked slapshot that screamed past AIC goalie Chad Davis on the power play. That time it was freshman Ryan Cruthers who won the draw back to defenseman Casey Bickley who fed Mayfield.
After Guillaume Caron drew the visitors within one shortly after Mayfield's tally, sophomore defenseman Corey Rudd notched his first career goal off a faceoff won by Beamer. Cahill corralled the loose puck and slid it over to Rudd in the high slot, who let go a nasty slapshot that beat Davis high again.
Beamer closed out the scoring in the third period with a goal of his own 7:24 in that gave the homestanding Black Knights an insurmountable lead and lifted the 1,527 fans in attendance into a frenzy.
Beamer's four-point night is the most by an Army player since Chad Fifield registered five points against Ryerson in the second game of the season. His three assists and four points were both career bests.
Brad Roberts recorded 26 saves to even his record at 6-6-2. Davis stopped 39 Army shots as the Black Knights bested the Yellow Jackets by a 44-28 margin in the shots on goal column.
Army scored more than three goals in a game for just the second time this year and the first since a 9-2 victory over Ryerson on Oct. 11. The Black Knights have dented the twine eight times in their last two games after closing the first half of the season in a scoring slump.
Chris Migliaro gave the hosts a 1-0 advantage 1:09 into the contest. AIC's Andy Walbert tied things up after one period of play with an equalizer at 9:14.
These same two teams will be at it again Saturday night in West Springfield, Mass., for the second game of their weekend series. Army opened a three-point lead on AIC in the Atlantic Hockey standings, keeping the Yellow Jackets at bay. Faceoff at Olympia Ice Center Saturday night is set for 7 p.m.

HTC M7 will be in stores on March 8 in black and white
The HTC M7 has been talked about many times until now, as you may know. It will be the Taiwanese company's next flagship smartphone, and apparently HTC wants to have a head start in competing with Samsung's next Galaxy S.
In order to do just that, HTC may release the M7 on March 8, according to someone who spoke to HTC Source. That would be just two and a half weeks after the February 19 announcement in which the company is widely expected to officially introduce the handset. That would certainly be a very decent timeline.
Of course, this is just a bit of rumor mongering for now. Nothing's confirmed just yet, but we do expect HTC to out release details during its event next month.
The leak doesn't stop there, though. Apparently the HTC M7 will come in two different color variations: black and silver / white. The latter will probably mean that the back of the phone will be silver, and the front fascia clad in white (like so). Whether any metals will be involved in the M7's casing or not is still up for debate, though, with past leaks contradicting each other on the matter.
Anyway, we do expect to see more of the M7 as weeks go by towards its coming out party.

There was a question on MathOverflow which has since disappeared, that was on sums of at most M B-smooth numbers. It asked several questions related to how many could be found in the interval $[N-d,N]$, where $N$ was given and $d$ was some parameter of size to be determined, but a starting guess for $d$ was $O(\text{log}N)$. I can't refer to it, but I can refer to another question on factoring some number in an interval, namely this question.
These questions, and other questions, and my thinking about Jacobsthal function, lead me to present the following. Recall a positive integer $N$ is B-smooth if every prime factor which divides $N$ is less than B, or $N$ is B-smooth and $p \mid N$ implies $p <=$ B . Let me call $M$ B-factored (there may be standard terminology but I do not recall it) if $M=PN$, where $N$ is B-smooth and $P$ is either 1 or $P$ is a prime larger than B.
I suggested that for B not large there were likely to be occurrences of B-factored numbers in an interval of the form $[N-d,N]$ as above, and that if a probabilistic algorithm to find one was wanted, a simple one could be devised using trial factorization, Fermat tests, and other handy ingredients. Also, if $d$ were $O(\text{log}N)$, the chances of success at finding one (and then later verifying the complete factorization using some computationally expensive test) were very high.
I am now convincing myself that the probability of success is in fact 1, and this would jar (but not necessarily contradict) with the intuition I am developing about gaps between primes. So I ask for help with some questions to create some clarity.
In the following, B=2, and I will ask the reader to create her or his own variation with larger B. Also let $d = \text{ceil}(\text{log}_2(N))$ until we change it (so for most $N$, $d$ is the number of bits used in writing $N$ in binary. First a (hopefully true) result.
1) For $N > 2$ there are $\pi(N)$ B-factorable numbers in the interval $(N/2,N]$ .
This result suggests (but does not imply) there are at least twice as many B-factored numbers as primes in $[N-d,N]$.
2) True or false: for $N > 1$, there is at least one B-factored number in the interval $[N -d, N]$ .
This should be true be considering how thin the complement of B-factored numbers is intially; even though they grow to an eventual density of 1, I imagine (but do not know) that they do so slowly enough for 2) to be true.
3) How small are the gaps between B-factored numbers? In other words, how much can $d$ (as a function of $N$) can be adjusted so as to be made true?
Even though there are gaps between primes which are several times larger than the average gap d, it is suspected such gaps get no larger than $O(d^2)$, and observed gaps are much smaller. I am working with the idea that such gaps get no larger than something like $cd(\text{log} d)^3$ for some small constant $c < 4$. For B-factored numbers, a large gap between them is like asking for $\text{log}_2N$-many large gaps to appear in the primes at just the right places, and so that one can expect or even prove reults much better than 2) above. Also, one can ask for $d$ as a function of B and $N$, but I prefer the simple version with B=2 for now
EDIT 2011.08.10 A computer run suggests that there are no 2-factored numbers in the interval $[2312,2325]$. This is the smallest of many such examples saying that 2) is false; my computer also says 35647 is the last of 30 consecutive numbers which are not 2-factored. It may be that Greg Martin is right and that some proofs in the literature can be expanded to include this case. However, there is still B$>2$ to be considered. END EDIT 2011.08.10

Tracing processes
By ejannett on janv. 24, 2013
What this process is doing ?
Tracing a running process and find out what it is doing is
also a good way to prevent a crash or to understand what caused the crash.
Now with Dtrace, processes can be traced a lot more efficiently I agree, but for that you will need a Dtrace script or be a Dtrace expert who can write Dtrace instruction on the fly. This is not the case of everybody and when the question
is simple as "which files are opened by that process" or "what is the port number he is trying to connect to" a simple call to a tools like truss (strace for linux) is much more quicker.
several commands are available. Man pages are usually good and
drawing will be more efficient than my poor English. I will then only use
pictures which are (I hope) self explanatory.

Entertainment Weekly revealed on June 5 that "Lost" actor Daniel Dae Kim has been cast in the upcoming film "Insurgent," which is the sequel to the popular dystopian film "Divergent," which opened earlier this year. The story is based on the novel of the same name by author Veronica Roth, and is the second in the trilogy.
Kim will play the role of Jack Kang, a representative from the Candor faction. Candor is the faction based on truth and honesty, which is where Tris and her companions travel after leaving Amity. Candor and Amity, the only two factions not revealed in the first film, are the only two faction remaining in the story.
Kim is most recognizable for his role as Jin in the ABC television drama "Lost," about survivors of a plane crash living on a mysterious island. The South Korean actor appeared on all six seasons of the series, where his character helped the group while learning English from his wife.
The actor has also starred as Chin Ho Kelly in the television remake of "Hawaii Five-0" since the first season. Both shows were filmed in Hawaii, were Kim and his family reside. He has also leant his voice to multiple video games, filmed several movies, and appeared in a dozen television roles.
On June 5 Comingsoon.net posted that the new film will be released theatrical on March 20, 2015. The third book, "Allegiant," will be divided into two films and will be released on March 18, 2016 and March 24, 2017. Robert Schwentke will helm the project, although Neil Burger who directed the first film will serve as executive producer.
The film will bring back Shailene Woodley as Tris, Theo James as Four, Zoe Kravitz as Christina, Jai Courtney as Eric, Miles Teller as Peter, Mehki Phifer as Max, Ansel Elgort as Caleb and Kate Winslet as Jeanine. Other newcomers to the series include Naomi Watts as Evelyn a leader of the Factionless and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer as Johanna the leader of Amity.
The story will follow Tris, Four, Caleb and the others are they reveal the truth about Erudite, Dauntless and Abnegation to the Amity and Candor factions. The group must go on the run while trying to find a way to stop Jeanine and the news about divergents from changing the future. The book was released in 2012 and filming is currently taking place in Atlanta, which will double for post-apocalyptic Chicago.

When I started writing on this little island found in the great sea of the internet, I wanted to enable players to think outside the box. My intentions were to make sure that Gold Goblins expanded their mind to the ability to not just have to be 'go here and farm this' type of gold makers.
But occasionally I see something that was obvious to me, that a player is doing that makes my head spin just a little bit to say 'huh?' As I was trucking along finishing up my Loremaster achievement for my shiny Nimbus disc I was chatting with a guild mate of mine. They had asked me to craft some items for them to raise their ilvl.
As we were chatting I told them that I would need to farm a few Spirits of Harmony for the requirements. They said that was fine, but they threw those things away because they were not a crafter on that toon.
Somewhere a couple of kittens just clutched their little chest and flopped on the ground at the sound of those words. They tossed those poor little Motes of Harmony away like they were worthless. I wanted to find the ethereal trashcan these poor abandoned motes were at to try to save them.
But seriously, I explained to them that the best idea was to save these for later use. There are two vendors (Danke at Shrine of the Two Moons and Krystel at Shrine of Seven Stars) sitting on their little perches ready to grab those hard earned Spirits of Harmony. They have various BOE items included some crafting items that can be given to alternate crafters or save some gold for personal enhancement needs.
But the best bet to me is to stick those little gold mines into the bank and save them. Sometime in a future patch the Spirits of Harmony will probably be made Bind on Equip. And those will be happy days of trading newly freed Spirits of Harmony on the open market. It's a long investment of time instead of grabbing the short term benefits of trading for the items from the two vendors.
So as we continued our chat and I sucked back the tears, poured some root beer out to my spirit homies, I hoped that just a little information could save my guild mate from future torture and abandonment of poor defenseless Spirits of Harmony.
Just remember, Save those spirits. Little Kittens will be proud of you.

It was not surprising that a few students straggled into the Top Down Sock 101 class late, since it was the first session Vogue Knitting LIVE weekend in New York and many attendees were coming in from out of town. Toronto resident and sock expert Kate Atherley took it in stride. "Welcome! Come sit over here. I just need you to cast on 24 stitches and we are joining them in the round. You'll catch up."
Atherley had a way of making the students feel that they belonged in the class, not because everyone needed help making socks, but because everyone could walk away from the class feeling like their fee was a true investment in both the education and the teacher-student relationship. "These are from my sock drawer," said Atherley, holding up two piles of socks that were split-in-half pairs to send around the room in two directions. Everyone in the class, whether they wanted to or not, pictured a giant, beautiful drawer of nothing but colorful hand-knitted socks. "If you are allergic to dogs, some of them may have a dog hair or two; she is cute, but she sheds."
The students were asked to bring worsted-weight yarn and comparable needles to the class so they could make a sock during the three-hour session. Their first sock contained every basic sock element to practice so the lessons could be translated to larger socks at a later time. Atherley referred to the project as both a practice sock and a sandbox, using the metaphor to remind her students that class and practice is just play, with no damage done if a mistake is made. The students also left the class with three free sock patterns, including both a sock-weight and a worsted-weight basic sock. The third pattern was for the training sock, so students did not have to write everything down as the class progressed; they could just knit.
One challenge many instructors face is that there are students in the class from every skill and experience level, but Atherley treats this issue like a non-issue. Her goal was to make sure everyone left her class with the knowledge to knit a top-down sock, and she repeatedly and consistently checked every individual student's work and asked for a group-wide update to ensure nobody was left behind. "I haven't knitted in about thirty years," said a student in the front of the room. Atherley used the analogy of riding a bike, but took it a step further. "Yes it does come back to you just like riding a bike, but it is also like riding a bike in the sense that at first, things are just a bit wobbly."
Humor kept many of the students from becoming frustrated, which is a common reaction to getting used to knitting on double-pointed needles. When a student asked how to know when she was at the beginning of a round, Atherley demonstrated using the tail as your marker, and then showed the students how a non-clip stitch marker will take a flying leap off of a double-pointed needle if an attempt to use it is made. "Everyone is quiet all of a sudden," she said at one point when everyone was knitting. "I want to just make sure it is a 'good' quiet, and not silent weeping."
When asked as a group if anyone had knitted socks before, a few students reluctantly raised their hands. One student said she started a pair of socks and then said to herself, "I think I need someone to help me," so she signed up for Atherley's class. By the halfway point of the session, she had completed the heel turn without any individual help. "Give yourselves a pat on the back," said Atherley. "Because that was supposedly the most difficult part about making a sock!"
Atherley's engaging, almost theatrical but completely genuine delivery of her lessons can make even the most reluctant of sock knitters look forward to the heel turn. For now, though, at least one room full of students at the New York Marriott Marquis is patting themselves on the back, thanks to their instructor, and they were able to leave the class knowing that if they can make a practice sock, they can make an entire pair, heel turn and all.

WADSWORTH — A crash caused by a suspected drunken driver left part of the city without power for nearly 90 minutes Wednesday night.
Police said a vehicle driven by Paulette R. Wolf, 47, 192½ West St., struck a utility pole in the 300 block of State Street at about 7:10 p.m.
City Service Director Chris Easton said roughly 1,700 customers in the southwest and southeast parts of the city were without electricity until about 8:30 p.m.
Easton said the pole has been stabilized but will need to be replaced.
Wolf was charged with operating a vehicle impaired, failure to maintain control of her vehicle, and refusing to take a field sobriety test with a prior OVI conviction within the past 20 years.
In November 2011, she was found guilty of driving under the influence in July of that year. She served 25 hours of community service and received a 90-day license suspension with limited driving privileges.
Under Ohio law, an OVI charge within six years of a prior conviction is considered a second offense and carries elevated penalties.
The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 20 days jail, or 10 days in jail and 36 days of house arrest with electronic monitoring, and/or continuous alcohol monitoring with an ankle bracelet for up to six months, and a license suspension of up to five years.
The failure to control charge also is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail, and the refusal to test charge carries a one-year license suspension by itself.
The initial police incident report said there were injuries involved, but the details are unknown because the full investigation still is under way. A Police Department spokesman was not available for comment Thursday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, around 10:45 a.m., about 1,200 residents along the Akron Road circuit in the northeast part of the city experienced a momentary outage when a cluster of Mylar balloons hit some wires.

|Colombia: Communities of Huila Continue to Defend Mother Earth from Mega-development Projects
|Written by Polinizaciones
|Thursday, 28 February 2013 12:49
The New Year in Huila started as 2012 finished, with the National Authority of Environmental Licenses' (ANLA) refusal to hold the energy company Enel-Endesa-Emgesa accountable for failing to comply with the environmental license for the Quimbo Hydroelectric Project.
The Comptroller's Office has continually studied the information put forth by Association of Affected Peoples of the Quimbo Hydroelectric Project (Asoquimbo), and has backed the local communities' demands that the environmental license be respected in regards to resettlement, compensations and environmental mitigation. Meanwhile in Huila, local media have falsely reported that nothing is wrong in the region and have irresponsibly reduced their reporting to nothing more than public relations on behalf of the company's image.
In the coffee lands, fruit orchards, and vegetable fields maintained by the campesinos around the Miraflores Peak, members of the Inter-sectoral Association Garzón & Gigante (ASIEG), continue to fight to have the environmental license that would permit Emerald Energy, a subsidiary of the Chinese chemical company, Sinochem to drill for oil in the Paramo of Miraflores ecosystem. Currently AISEG along with the Regional Autonomous Corporation of the Upper Magdalena (CAM) along with CORPOAMAZONIA from the Department of Caqueta, are pushing the Office of National Natural Parks to declare the 122,000 HA of the Paramo de Miraflores Peak a National Natural park to help create a stronger legal mechanisms for protecting this area and effectively excluding it from any form of oil extraction.

WashingtonState minimum wage went up 37 cents on January 1st to $9.04 an hour, earning the title of the highest state minimum in the country. The minimum wage adjustment was based on a 4% inflation rate as measured by the Consumer Price Index for the past 12 months. The yearly recalculation is required by Initiative 688, which was approved by Washington voters in 1998.
While many business owners point to our states record high minimum wage as a detriment to small businesses, not everyone agrees. Regional Labor Economist, Mark Bareth says for our area it's a good thing.
Bareth admits that the raise in the minimum wage could make it a bit tighter in the hiring arena, but will also likely increase the number of job seekers.
Though WashingtonState holds the title of "highest state minimum wage"… it isn't actually the highest minimum wage since San Francisco has set a city wide minimum wage of $10.24 an hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

About a month ago I wrote about why I continue to run old raid tiers. I went step by step on the different amount of gold, saleable items and even achievements that could be earned each time you stepped into what seemed like 'old content'.
The one thing that I didn't mention that I work through old raids is because there are certain items that I have been wanting for years.
When I first started World of Warcraft I wanted a horse for my main (Tauren warrior) in the worst way. I saw that I could buy one in Brill for 100g (this was a long time ago during Burning Crusade) and I drooled to get that mount. I got my 100g and then ran over there, only to be disappointed that I couldn't buy one. Taurens were not able to ride horses.
Devastated, I put on my thinking cap and did a little research. At this time there were three horses in the game that a Tauren could ride. The Dreadsteed mount from the Warlock quest, a drop from the Stratholme instance and one from the Raid tier of Karazhan.
At this time my raid group wasn't as strong as it could be so we could barely make it through Karazhan cleanly. Ultimately we became good enough (with your favorite Tauren tank running point) but alas, no horse drop for me. One week I was unable to attend and supposedly it dropped for someone, but to this day I think they were yanking my chain on that one.
After The Lich King expansion became active, Karazhan wasn't as important to players. So it became more and more difficult to find old raid content runs. It was either carrying a group of 5-8 or end up going through another week of horse rejection. I stopped running Karazhan to put aside my dream of a cow on a horse.
I picked up the runs during the cataclysm expansion and started running them solo again. By this time I had switched to a full time dps spec and was able to blitz through the content and make a large amount of gold each time. Even after they nerfed the amount of gold you could earn through old content, the cloth and epics that dropped more than paid my hefty personal repair bill and put some pep in my step.
Last week I was running Karazhan on a Wednesday and went after Attumen The Huntsman the hunter like usual. Then the heavens opened up and a light shined on my victim and there it was, the Fiery WarHorse Reigns were there in my loot window. My cats were in a state of shock from the yell that came out of me that it had finally dropped for me.
So why was this important to me? Because taking away all of the gold, all of the fame, all of the fortune and everything that people tell you they play for. The one reason that we keep on coming back to being that personal moment in the sun that says 'I did it'.
So after my required naked run through the major cities on my new mount, I smiled internally to myself and looked at what my next goal was. Who knows, I might just look to get better at PVP and get one of those mounts.
Moral of the story? There isn't really one, just wanted to tell you why I keep running old content. How about you? What keeps you coming back time and time again?
