College Hockey:Back on Track
Denver Sweeps Wisconsin to Build Late-Season Momentum
MADISON, Wis. — Friday night the Pioneers said they felt they had made a statement. Saturday night, they helped blow the race for the MacNaughton Cup wide open again.
Ryan Dingle scored twice and Peter Mannino made 25 saves as Denver capped off a weekend sweep of No. 1 Wisconsin with a 4-2 win in front of 15,237 fans at the Kohl Center.
What the Badgers couldn't do in 60 minutes on Friday night — score on the Pioneers — they did in a mere 52 seconds Saturday. But it did not matter.
Denver scored three unanswered goals after Wisconsin scored early and DU staved off a potential UW comeback in the third period to move within four points of first place in the WCHA.
"To not really do anything the first half of the season (was) kind of tough," Dingle said. "This is the start of a good thing. Hopefully we can continue it on."
While the loss hurt the Badgers stronghold on the WCHA lead, head coach Mike Eaves maintained a positive attitude about the weekend.
"In some areas we were schooled," Eaves said. "(But) we will be a better team in the long run because of this weekend."
A minute and a half after Robbie Earl brought the Badgers back within a goal at 3-2 late in the third period, UW center Andrew Joudrey took a boarding penalty, one of many calls that frustrated the Wisconsin bench.
Of course, Denver capitalized, as Dingle scored his second of the night and the third power-play goal of the night for the Pioneers to end any thoughts of a Wisconsin comeback.
"I was telling the boys I've never been more nervous in my life than last night, not being able to have a hand in any of it," Dingle, who sat out due to a game disqualification last Saturday, said. "I just wanted to come in and help them out tonight. It feels good."
In all fairness, the Pioneers deserved the victory either way as the two-time defending champions outworked and outhustled the nation's top team for the second night in a row.
The only time things really looked good for the Badgers were in the opening minutes of the game.
Less than a minute after the puck dropped, an attempted pass from Burish slid through the crease right to Earl, who knocked home the puck to give the Badgers a 1-0 lead at 0:52.
But while Wisconsin stole some early momentum, putting the first six shots on net in the game, it was a resilient Denver team which did not take long to come back.
At 7:37, with the Pioneers on the power play, Gabe Gauthier threw a shot on through traffic from above the left circle that found its way all the way to the goal past an unsuspecting Shane Connelly to tie the game at one goal apiece.
Less than four minutes later, a gritty play by Dingle made UW defenseman Jeff Likens look silly and gave Denver the lead.
Likens attempted to rub Dingle off the puck as he skated into the Pioneers' offensive zone, but the sophomore winger skated right by and beat Connelly with a top-shelf shot from the left circle, and Denver skated into the first intermission with a 2-1 advantage.
The Pioneers padded their lead in the second period as Geoff Paukovich got his second goal of the year and second in as many games to make it 3-1, a lead which they held well into the third period.
Earl gave the sellout home crowd some hope with less than seven minutes left in the game with his second of the night in a period in which the numbers made it look like the Badgers dominated but did not tell the real story.
Earl's brought the Badgers within one and Wisconsin outshot Denver 10-3 in the third, but it just never felt like the Pioneers would relinquish the lead. And Dingle's second goal of the night iced the game.
The win improved the Pioneers' record at the Kohl Center to 9-1-2.
"It's an unbelievable place to play," Dingle said. "I can imagine playing for the team, but playing against the team is something special too."
Denver's power play finished 3-for-7 on the night, while the Badgers struggled on the man advantage. Though Earl's second goal was on the power play, the Badgers finished 1-for-6 on the night and had just two total shots on their five power plays in the first two periods.
It was clear that, while Connelly played well in relief, the fact that he was behind the Badgers changed their mentality as they finished the weekend with just two goals, 10 less than their series a week ago.
"When you equate it to another sport, it'd be like losing your starting quarterback or one of your starting pitchers," Eaves said. "It's a pretty big chunk of what we do."
"If you're losing someone, you're going to have some doubt in your head, and we took advantage of that," Dingle said.
In the other locker room, the Pioneers know once again what it feels like to be a championship-caliber team. Their season has been one of ups and downs, but this is as "up" as it has been.
"It was huge. We talked about pretty much not having any momentum coming into this weekend and we needed to do something," Dingle said. "I think this is the weekend that showed a lot of character from our team. It was great to see our team come together like this."
With Minnesota's sweep of Colorado College, both the Gophers and Pioneers remain tied for second, but the ground they have to cover has been cut in half.
"Funny how that changes in a week, isn't it?" Eaves said.
Things could really get crazy when Minnesota comes to Madison next weekend to face the presumably Elliott-less Badgers. Denver makes the trek to Anchorage.

In most developing countries the task of collecting water usually falls to women. They often walk long distances and spend many hours of every day collecting water for their families.
Asha Rashid collects water from a traditional well in her village in Tanzania. Even though it is poor quality, Asha uses this water because it is close to home. She collects water five times a day, filling two buckets each time.
Photo: Jim Holmes/WaterAid
The water they collect is often taken from dirty and polluted sources. The containers they carry usually hold about 20 litres of water and weigh 20kg – the same as the baggage allowance on most airlines.
Health and dignity
Ill-health caused by unsafe water impacts greatly on women's lives. It is usually women who nurse the sick and take the children to the doctor. Ill-health adds to an already over-burdened day. Women have to juggle their time to carry out all the domestic and income-generating work for which they are also responsible.
Women living without somewhere safe and clean to go to the toilet often need to wait until dark to relieve themselves with at least some privacy, exposing them to considerable danger, discomfort and risk of disease.
For women everywhere, having clean and accessible water and toilet facilities not only means improved health for themselves and the whole family but also means being able to live with dignity. It allows them more time for work, for looking after their children or simply to get some rest.
"A nearby water source would make such a difference."
Rachel Anton is 18 years old and lives in Inoneiwa village, Tanzania:
"I usually have to wait in line for three hours or more, under a scorching-hot sun, for my turn to collect water. On some days I wait from 5am until 11pm. In the dry season the nearest water source is a long way away. I would be so much happier if there was water nearer to home.
"I try to fill four buckets with water that we use for drinking, cooking and other household tasks. I share the water with my husband and son. My family often has stomach sickness which I think is caused by drinking dirty water. With clean water close to home my whole family will be healthier and I'll have much more time to cook, to spend with the children and to do all the housework."

- Registered users only
We investigated whether ultraendurance runners in a 100-km run suffer a decrease of body mass and whether this loss consists of fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, or total body water. Male ultrarunners were measured pre- and postrace to determine body mass, fat mass, and skeletal muscle mass by using the anthropometric method. In addition, bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to determine total body water, and urinary (urinary specific gravity) and hematological parameters (hematocrit and plasma sodium) were measured in order to determine hydration status. Body mass decreased by 1.6 kg (p < .01), fat mass by 0.4 kg (p < .01), and skeletal muscle mass by 0.7 kg (p < .01), whereas total body water increased by 0.8 L (p < .05). Hematocrit and plasma sodium decreased significantly (p < .01), whereas plasma urea and urinary specific gravity (USG) increased significantly (p < .01). The decrease of 2.2% body mass and a USG of 1.020 refer to a minimal dehydration. Our athletes seem to have been relatively overhydrated (increase in total body water and plasma sodium) and dehydrated (decrease in body mass and increase in USG) during the race, as evidenced by the increased total body water and the fact that plasma sodium and hematocrit were lower postrace than prerace. The change of body mass was associated with the change of total body water (p < .05), and we presume the development of.

Top Big 12 Heisman candidates

This is what I'm talking about! Simone French and the University of Minnesota School of Public health won a $7 million dollar grant to discover why 34% of us are obese and another 34% are overweight. That leaves only 30% of us in a normal weight category!
The team will study school lunches, family food receipts and general habits that lead to obesity. Simone French's initial thoughts are that parents really do control the situation and have the power to make the changes. She says, "Parents really are the home environment managers. They decide when families watch TV or how much McDonald's they eat or when they are going to get the frosted Lucky Charms."
The $7 million grant will fund two studies: an initial two-year pilot study that will include 30 families and a second larger three-year study that includes 500 families. Researchers will begin the pilot study in late 2010.
Full report of this new grant can be found at: http://www.ahc.umn.edu/media/releases/obesitycenter/index.htm
A current project at the U, Project Eat, has maintained that kids eat better when they have family dinners, the kids are involved in the food preparation and they don't watch so much television.
From what I gather, these people are conducting a study in common sense that most parents could feasibly follow. Here are some habits we follow in our house:
- We don't eat out for dinner more than once or twice a month
- We have only whole grain sandwich bread
- The girls help prep dinner with me almost every night
- We don't eat sugar coated or sugary cereal
- Raw vegetables or basic cooked veggies (no cheese or butter) are served most nights of the week
- We make fun of Cheetos and frozen pizza in the grocery store by "thumbs downing" them as we walk by
- I let the girls look through the grocery store circular and point out what is healthy and what is not
- We talk about how good we feel after a healthy dinner
- My girls do not drink soda (we don't have it in the house and we order water instead of soda when eating out)
- I rarely use boxed/packaged ingredients that have a high sodium content
Do my kids feel like they are missing anything? No, I don't think so. Do we eat dessert sometimes? Of course we do! But as parents, it's up to us to train their palate to enjoy basic and more natural ingredients so when they are older, eating at McD's or microwaving a frozen dinner is a "last resort" instead of a first choice.

Aim To integrate dietary knowledge and species distributions in order to examine the latitudinal, environmental, and biogeographical variation in the species richness of avian dietary guilds (herbivores, granivores, frugivores, nectarivores, aerial insectivores, terrestrial/arboreal insectivores, carnivores, scavengers, and omnivores).
Location Global.
Methods We used global breeding range maps and a comprehensive dietary database of all terrestrial bird species to calculate guild species richness for grid cells at 110 × 110 km resolution. We assessed congruence of guild species richness, quantified the steepness of latitudinal gradients and examined the covariation between species richness and climate, topography, habitat diversity and biogeographic history. We evaluated the potential of current environment and biogeographic history to explain global guild distribution and compare observed richness–environment relationships with those derived from random subsets of the global species pool.
Results While most guilds (except herbivores and scavengers) showed strong congruence with overall bird richness, covariation in richness between guilds varied markedly. Guilds exhibited different peaks in species richness in geographical and multivariate environmental space, and observed richness–environment relationships mostly differed from random expectations. Latitudinal gradients in species richness were steepest for terrestrial/arboreal insectivores, intermediate for frugivores, granivores and carnivores, and shallower for all other guilds. Actual evapotranspiration emerged as the strongest climatic predictor for frugivores and insectivores, seasonality for nectarivores, and temperature for herbivores and scavengers (with opposite direction of temperature effect). Differences in species richness between biogeographic regions were strongest for frugivores and nectarivores and were evident for nectarivores, omnivores and scavengers when present-day environment was statistically controlled for. Guild richness–environment relationships also varied between regions.
Main conclusions Global associations of bird species richness with environmental and biogeographic variables show pronounced differences between guilds. Geographic patterns of bird diversity might thus result from several processes including evolutionary innovations in dietary preferences and environmental constraints on the distribution and diversification of food resources.

I have to query attributes for about 10 000 users. I have an ldapsearch query that works for a single user. Here is the releveant part, where I search for the
objectGUID attribute of user
abc123 :
ldapsearch -h somehost.com -D "CN=valid_user,DC=valid_everything" -q -b "OU=valid_ou,DC=valid_dc" -s sub "cn=abc123" -L objectGUID
I would like to put all my queries in a file, and use the
-f myqueries.txt option. Since this query will be carried out over SSL, I would like to avoid the 10k SSL negotiations I would get if I was to run 10k separate ldapsearch.
I tried with a file that looks like this :
With this modified command line :
ldapsearch -v -h somehost.com -D "CN=valid_user,DC=valid_everything" -q -b "OU=valid_ou,DC=valid_dc" -s sub -f myqueries.txt -L objectGUID
But I always get an
Bad search filter error.
I was not able to determine what version of ldapsearch this is. It is running on a custom Linux distribution.
How can I use the
-f option to make ldapsearch use queries read from a file ?

Women's Wednesday - Book Review: Fit & Healthy Pregnancy
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
There are a lot of books on the market about how to stay in shape or get back into shape when having a baby. And having gone through it three times I've got to be honest with you, it's not all unicorns and hearts and flowers. It can be tough to not only maintain your fitness when pregnant but to also find the time and the energy after the baby comes. But 'Fit & Healthy Pregnancy' gives us some tools and a road map to make it a bit easier.
The author Kristina Pinto walks you through from the very beginning. From trying to conceive all the way to getting your fitness back after baby comes home. A nice bonus is that the book is complimented with medical tips and information from Dr. Rachel Kramer. Both women are moms and athletes so they know of what they speak. I feel like the book does a good job of incorporating health advice from the doctor while reducing fears about exercising while pregnant.
The very first thing every woman should do especially if you train hard or compete regularly is to consult your physician in the first trimester to discuss your training plans. My discussion would have gone something like this: "So doc, do you think I should have the large or the extra large bowl of cereal at 10 O'clock at night and should I take three or four naps a day?" My point being that every woman is different. But one thing is clear pregnancy is not the time to get faster, lose weight or hit fitness milestones. But if you want to still run or swim or bike or do yoga you can. With caution and guidance.
'Fit & Healthy Pregnancy' is a great book for the woman who wants to exercise when pregnant, who wants advice on nutrition, tips for preparing for labor and delivery and to top it off if they want some sage words of wisdom about workout-family balance. The book is not about being a certain size of clothing or looking a certain way. It's about fitness and health and balance. I would say that it's tricky after the baby comes. Maybe not for some women but for myself and many women I know it was tough after the first baby. You're tired and if breast feeding you have full and sometimes leaky boobs. The world doesn't stop because you've had a baby. Laundry still needs to be done and if you have other kids they need food and attention too.
One of my favorite quotes from the book is "Even though endurance training prepares us to push through pain and probably helped you get through labor, let your maternal instincts take care of your health as much as your baby's."
This is a great book. I vacillated between "I should have done that" to "There's no way I could've done that." But there's room for all of us in the book; for the everyday athlete like myself to the woman who is paid to race. You'll find it all in 'Fit & Healthy Pregnancy'.

While many high school and college students prefer to spend their summers hitting the beach, some prefer to make a difference instead.
Botsford Hospital is fortunate to have several high school students who prefer to make a difference by volunteering their summer to help our patients. And they're not just pushing paper or making copies. They perform a multitude of tasks that actually help patients have a more pleasant experience — from greeting anxious visitors to offering a warm blanket to tidying up family areas.
Teresa Rotondo of Plymouth is one such student. A Mercy High School class of 2011 graduate, Teresa spends one day a week volunteering in the emergency room of Botsford Hospital. There, she makes sure supplies are well stocked, beds are prepared and patients and visitors are comfortable — bringing warm blankets, cool beverages or a friendly smile whenever they're needed.
Another student, Anna Sak of Warren, spends much of her time studying biology and physics at Oakland University, but still makes time to volunteer in Botsford's surgical unit. There she's been able to support the anesthesia and surgical team in many ways, but she say's her biggest assist is with the patients. "One time, I was able to hold the hand of a little boy on his way to surgery. Being able to comfort him really meant a lot to me," Anna says. Nurses told the boy to focus on Anna's smile so he wouldn't be so scared.
Not only do our student volunteers help make our patients and visitors a little more comfortable, but they also help our nurses stay focused on patient care. However, Botsford's patients aren't the only ones benefiting. Student volunteers get real work experience that help them get into college programs, better understand their coursework or even land a job.
Teresa explains, "I am blessed to volunteer at Botsford, because of it, I am becoming a more well-rounded person and already learning the ways of a hospital before I enter nursing school in a few weeks." Anna says she's even learned about the different uses of various surgical tools as well as how to measure blood pressure. "But," she says, "volunteering at Botsford has made me realize something important…taking care of people and working at the hospital is definitely what I want to do as a career."
If you or someone you know would like to make a difference at Botsford, learn more about becoming a volunteer. We have opportunities for people of all ages!
Thank you Teresa, Anna and all our other volunteers for your hard work! You help make Botsford great.

Professional fitness trainer Greg Howard has designed a proven training program aimed at conditioning athletes to be above game shape. "Fourth quarter" athletes control the tempo of the game and the game doesn't control them. Come crunch time, they're a step ahead of the competition and still playing at the top of their game.
In this week's player development feature, Howard heads to the weight room to reveal several key weight training exercises to build strength and endurance. By supersetting workouts, athletes can really build their explosiveness and get in some great cardio as well.
Also, check out our previous fourth quarter athlete workouts highlighting multiple indoor and outdoor exercises perfect for offseason training.
In our weight training series this week, we're working specifically on supersetting our reps. In other words, go from one exercise directly to another and continue on with your workout.
Let's start out with squats. While some trainers prefer three sets, aim for four. Start with 15 straight squats. Keep your head up and maintain good form. Don't bend the back.
After racking that squat weight, you will move right into 15 reps with box jumps. With this exercise, you'll be jumping up and down from a stool or chair. Maintain good form and make it easy coming off and on. Explode up and get to the top of the platform.
When finished, take a few deep breaths and go right back into your second round of squats. Drop it down to 10 reps this time. This is where your legs begin to feel fatigued and you need to push through. Now with the new round of box jumps, you will really feel fatigued. You must work hard at it. Go for 10 reps here. You can then finish with 8 and 5 reps before moving on.
When combined, you're getting a 100 percent leg workout, increasing your explosiveness, and getting in a cardio workout by supersetting them together. These workouts really improve that first explosive step.
For the shoulder press and dumbbell front press combined, we like to go four sets total. Start with 10 shoulder press reps and then move into 20 dumbbell front presses. On the should press, make sure the bar gets no lower than the chin. Work on developing the front deltoids. Keep a strong back and your core tight.
Next, go right into a stationary front press. One arm at a time, press the dumbbells high into the air. When finished with your set, go right back into the shoulder press after a 5-10 second breather. Aim for another 10 reps on the second time. Shoot for 20-25 seconds of rest and be sure to keep up your breathing techniques learned from our first outdoor exercise feature.

Renowned trainer Greg Howard has developed a proven training program to take athletes above game shape. This way, players control the tempo of the game and the game doesn't control them. Once crunch time rolls around, they're a step ahead of the competition and still playing at the top of their game.
In this week's player development feature, Howard provides a pair of indoor workouts designed to give athletes that fourth quarter edge. With the winter season forcing many players indoors to practice or work out, these exercises are perfect for any school sports facility or gymnasium. Many of the workouts can also incorporate stick handling, passing, and other lacrosse fundamentals.
Set-Up: The T Drill has four cones involved. Three cones are placed out in front about 15 feet and played in the center, right and left — all about 15 yards apart. There's also one cone at the start. The cones together form a T.
Drill Breakdown: Players will take off in a dead sprint, round the middle cone, cut left and around the far left cone, figure eight around the middle cone, sprint to the right cone, back to the middle cone, before cutting and then sprinting back to the beginning as fast as possible.
We do these in five-set formats. In this particular video segment, the player will run through a double set. We'll also introduce a ball, but it doesn't matter what sport you play. Lacrosse players can use their stick and a ball and work on cradling and stick handling. When implementing a ball or stick, it's the perfect drill to work on hand-eye coordination.
Players should start again immediately after each repetition. Once complete, rest for about 30 seconds and really focus on your breathing Depending on your athletes and their ages, you can mix the sets up however you choose.
Overview: This highly-effective drill is a combination of quick feet, sprint work, and bleacher work. It really works on the conditioning of the legs, plus breathing. The workout is usually conducted in a 10-set format (so players go 10 straight times), but it may depend on the athletes you are working with. Meanwhile, sprints are at a 15-20 foot length.
Drill Breakdown: Player goes back and forth with "quick feet" between spaced out cones. Hands are always moving. Quick feet is followed by two sprints. Next, players immediately sprint up and down the bleachers four times before jogging back and getting ready to start workout again.
Note: This workout is a great way for lacrosse players during the winter months to work in your high school gym and improve your speed, agility, conditioning, and legs. These exercises can be done in season and out of season, too.

Hey, I've put up a video on youtube showing my remake of Basto! - Gregory's Theme, I got some requests on giving out the flp, so I'll just post it here.
Please notice that I've used many external plugins, especially for the piano and bell sound, so the project probably won't fully load for you (I tried to remove as many external plugins as possible without making it sound different) here's the list:
- Synapseaudio Dune (Bell sound, strings, square blip, wont make much sense without it)
- Toraverb (Reverb, replacing it with fruity reverb should work)
- Rob Papen Delay (Delay of the bells, sounds pretty different with fruity delay, but should work too)
- CVPiano, 4Front Piano (obvious)
- TLs Pocket Limiter (should be ok without it)
- TP Basslane, SPAN (not needed to get the sound)
If you still want the FLP, here it is

Industry site selectors returning to Flagler County
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 9:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 9:47 a.m.
BUNNELL -- Industry Week's Roundtable Series, a national convention featuring industry site selectors, has announced that they will return to Flagler County in June, according to a news release from Flagler County.
Helga van Eckert, Flagler County's director of economic development, said that the organization and those who attended the conference in Flagler County were pleased with their visit in June and will be returning next summer.
"This is a great opportunity for Flagler County," Commissioner Barbara Revels said in the release. "The executives that attend these events advise companies on where to locate their businesses. Showing them the quality of life we enjoy in Flagler County every day will pay dividends in the future." Revels chairs the county's nine-member Economic Opportunity Advisory Council.
Flagler County is one of three regional centers for Industry Week's Roundtable series. The two other conferences next year are in Vail, Colo. and Tucson, Ariz. The Flagler County conference is called "The Roundtable in the South." It is billed as the premier source for education and networking in the Economic Development Industry, the release states.

FMC Lithium commissioned its first factory in India, near Hyderabad, to manufacture organolithium compounds that are primarily used in the bulk drug industry.
According to FMC, the organolithium sector of the India pharmaceutical market is growing rapidly due to the extensive production of drugs that treat cardiovascular diseases and HIV infection. FMC has been supplying major producers in India through imports from the U.S., but the new facility will make it much easier for the company to service the growing demand of customers in India while efficiently managing its supply chain, explains an FMC official.

'The Newsroom' Season 1 Premiere, 'Because We Decided To': TV Recap
Aaron Sorkin's new HBO drama, "The Newsroom," begins not in a room of monitors but with a familiar scene: a liberal woman and a conservative man vociferously arguing in a room of college students. As they prattle predictably, the man in the middle zones out and gives glib responses about the New York Jets when a moderator (David Cromer) tries to engage him. Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) has been called "the Jay Leno of news anchors. You're popular because you don't bother anyone." The "News Night" anchor continues not to take a stand, until the first of the show's young, somewhat nervous blondes asks the panelists to say why, "in one sentence or less," America is the greatest country in the world.
Something stirs Will. Is he hallucinating? He thinks he sees a woman in the back of the Northwestern University auditorium with cue cards saying "it's not, but it could be." The moderator won't let him piggyback off the others' answers. After an effectively employed tense pause, Will transforms into Howard Beale from "Network," addressing "Sorority Girl" in the first of many of the episode's Sorkin-esque angry, nostalgic, smart monologues. Audience members gawk at and record Will's profanity-dripping rant of grim statistics that show how America is not, in fact, the greatest country in the world. Uplifting music swells under the second half of his answer, with wistful lines about "we fought for what was right" and "we aspired for intelligence." Naturally, the earnest Will isn't what everyone remembers afterward – it's the enraged and enraging one. Will blames vertigo medication. (Gee, why not the usual celeb favorites of "exhaustion" and "dehydration?")
Flash ahead three weeks later to two co-workers arguing in a nearly deserted room at Atlantis Cable News about a potential milestone in their relationship: Should he meet her parents? Don (Thomas Sadoski) and Maggie – er, Margaret (Alison Pill) – represent two-thirds of what one can tell will be an inevitable love triangle. Don's a confident, somewhat-arrogant executive producer who wants to use work to beg off an evening of drinks and dinner, while Maggie is Will's eager, flustered, twentysomething assistant failing to mask her disappointment. The unseen third party already seems more appealing. Maggie/Margaret is supposed to represent the fresh, bright bird learning to fly. With her nervous activity, it's hard to believe she managed to graduate from college.
Meanwhile, Will returns from an enforced sabbatical and finds most of his staff has abandoned him. The not-so-affable anchor repeatedly calls Maggie/Margaret "Ellen," he barges into another anchor's meeting to berate staffers, and he ignored Don's valid suggestions to press Stanley McChrystal during a recent interview. Clearly the time off (during which, according to TMZ, he seems to have interacted with Erin Andrews) hasn't done Will the good he needed, and "News Night" needs help. Will's boss, Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston) – you know he's old school because he wears a bow tie and breaks out drinks for any deep conversation – has come up with a solution. He has hired MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer), an executive producer back from 26 months in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is also Will's former lover, and, according to Charlie, their breakup three years earlier coincided with the last time Will was nice to anyone.
And look who just arrived in the ACN newsroom. Maggie stammers and rushes to welcome MacKenzie, who listens as Maggie lies to her father about Don's inability to meet them. She is teary-eyed afterward. MacKenzie plays tough-mom cool chick, quizzing Maggie about her sex life and advising her on how to flummox Don the next time he wants a booty call. MacKenzie reminds Maggie she is an associate producer, not just an assistant. Mac likes loyalty, and few are more loyal than Jim Harper, her 27-year-old senior producer. He makes his entrance by tripping on one of the straps on MacKenzie's bag. Here's the third party of the young-lovers equation, and based on his smart but socially awkward nature, it's obvious he will be smitten with Maggie in no time. MacKenzie encourages it and attempts to coach Jim on flirting. The bravado disappears when Will walks in.
Will and MacKenzie argue in his office. He has avoided her emails for three years and gone to his agent to renegotiate her contract. Instead of a three-year deal, MacKenzie will operate on a 156-week contract, during which Will has the chance to fire her 155 times. They bicker in one scene; Don finds Jim an irritant in another. Will lights up in his office, something we rarely see these days. Thunder rumbles simultaneously. Yes, writer Sorkin and director Greg Mottola, we get it: Will is a jerk. MacKenzie may have a British accent, but she is infused with American idealism. She waxes rhapsodic about making a "good show for 100 people rather than a bad show for a million," about integrity and doing better, about reclaiming the Fourth Estate and … It's supposed to inspire, yet it's a lot of the lines uttered by politicians and media types for the past decade. MacKenzie speaks with passion, but Will, who's heard a lot over the years, remains unimpressed. She tries to quote "Don Quixote." He points out she's really reciting from "Man of La Mancha."
After more than half an hour of setup, we remember why this show is called "The Newsroom." Jim reads an alert off his smartphone: "There's been an explosion off the coast of Louisiana." Dead silence. The date "April 20, 2010," flashes on the screen. It's Sorkin's version of handling the BP/Gulf of Mexico disaster. (Each episode of 'The Newsroom" will tackle a story from the recent past, hindsight that seems an easy way for Sorkin to paint journalism in romantic glory. Will this annoy a potential chunk of the audience?)
Jim wants to jump on the news; Don has little use for "Jimmy Olsen," even after the latter reveals tidbits from his sources at BP and Halliburton. Will's blogger, Neal (Dev Patel), rapidly realizes it's more than missing people – it's an oil spill. ("I have a blogger?" Will says. He had stereotyped the Indian Neal as an IT guy.) When Don throws the disruptive Jim out of the newsroom, Jim heads to MacKenzie, still in Will's office. Charlie comes to contribute to the fuss. A debate ensues between Jim and Don over whether the former should have to reveal his sources, one where both sides make sense. (Jim eventually admits they're his sister, at Halliburton, and his college roommate, an engineer at BP.) Will tosses the rundown he had prepared. Activity buzzes, the hum of people making phone calls and tracking down sources. As Will gets ready on set, Mac, in the control room, alludes to having done a terrible thing but reminds him that she owns him five times a week, from 8 to 9 p.m. How long can it be before the relationship drama gets out to the rest of the newsroom and/or takes over the show?
Much screaming ensues, and suddenly, nothing is on the teleprompter as "News Night" is about to air. The man who became popular by not bothering anyone will have to speak off the cuff, with emotion. Charlie is delighted. Strolling into the newsroom, he remarks on the beauty of the situation and tells a young woman to "put this on your Twitter … Will's on the fly … and the EP is the only one who knows what's going on." (She reminds him this won't fit in 140 characters.) On air, Will barely masks his disgust with the Halliburton spokesman and mocks BP's milquetoast statement of thoughts and prayers for the families of the missing crew members. Though Sorkin says Will isn't Keith Olbermann, it's hard not to compare the fictional and real television personalities in such moments. With Jim's help, Maggie contributes to the broadcast, finding the inspector from the Minerals Management Service who looked at the now-damaged well 19 days earlier.
As the broadcast ends, the staff applauds. Will swivels in his chair and ponders. Charlie brings a bottle and some glasses to toast the broadcast. He's thinking Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow. "About 10 minutes ago, we did news well. Why? Because we just decided to." Pure Sorkin. Charlie says he orchestrated everything, making him the true Don Quixote of the news team.
Back in the newsroom, the babbling Jim still needs work in being suave. Don presents Maggie with a "compromise:" He'll come downstairs to meet her parents, then stop by her place when he's done with work. Does Maggie heed MacKenzie's advice? She walks out with Don, the answer undeclared. As for the advice giver, MacKenzie thinks her former lover has thawed, but he still tries to give her the brushoff. They reminisce about when he met her parents, his recall greater than she anticipated. Then he confesses of the infamous Northwestern day that "it wasn't vertigo medicine – I thought I saw you in the audience, and I got flustered." As Will walks away, we see the cue cards in MacKenzie's folder. He wasn't imagining things.

I wanted to use the new Speed Coach Mobile app for rowing, but didn't want to take my phone out on the water unprotected. So far, the only solution is just using glorified ziplocks.
The decided factor for me was when Speed Coach Mobile started supporting getting heart rate with the . I use heart rate for most of my training. I've used SpeedCoach XL2 which has a heartrate pickup, but I found it to be really finicky in salt water, and it didn't record anything. For watches, I started with the Garmin Forerunner 305 and then moved on to Polar's RS800CX with the GPS pod, as I liked Polar's desktop software and having the GPS separate means the watch lasts for a few years, not a few hours. These worked, but I had more devices, and I still needed the SpeedCoach for actual speed and stroke rate, and I needed the propellor for speed, and couldn't see the heart rate constantly.
The other deciding factor was that Wahoo also makes a waterproof Bike Case. The challenge then was how to mount it to my boat.
I figured trying to use the NK T was the way to go. There are ways to do it that work if you have a wing rigger, but I row a fluid, so I have nothing except the foot plate in front of me. I asked the guys at NK to send me a back plate to the SpeedCoach XL. I figured I would combine it with the Wahoo Bike Mount, this way I could still pull it on and off with each row without resorting to Velcro or anything that would weaken over time (and I don't really trust it for this sort of stuff anyway). I took the bike part that attaches to the Wahoo case, and bolted it the NK back plate. Here's a few shots of what I came up with.
And a few with the case attached:
I had a spare harness, so I had that to make sure it fit, and the nut was clear.
Here are some shots in the boat, to show you the final setup:
So far, it's worked quite well. It stays in place, I can pull it in and out like a speed coach, and I know the phone is safe from water. I drilled out one of the small holes so I could put a lanyard on it, for kicks.
As far as tracking, I'm using Training Peaks. Speed Coach Mobile can export to TCX format, and Training Peaks can import those directly. Training Peaks can show graphs for speed, rate, and HR, and can show tracks on maps as well. I'm right now working on a script that will convert all my Polar data files to TCX format, so I can convert my full history to Training Peaks.
Going forward, there are a few options. NK makes a "T" that doesn't have any wires, that they use for the SurgeRate. Once I'm full confident in this setup, I'm considering removing the full SpeedCoach rig, including the wire harness, seat magnet, and (most importantly) the impellor. It's not frequent, but the impellor picks up stuff, and can be a hassle. I've had it happen at St. Catharine's, for example. Wahoo also just came out with an Aerobar Bike Mount that may be more stable with this setup. Additionally, if you don't ever need to slide a speed coach back in to the rig, you could just bolt the Wahoo bike mounts directly to the NK T.
This setup is obviously vulnerable to current and tide. I mostly row on tidal water, which was part of why I kept the SpeedCoach for speed, but being able to simplify my setup has finally changed my mind. I haven't had issue with battery life, yet. If you turn off Wifi and Bluetooth, it can last a while. (You can't do "airplane mode" cause you need the GPS.)
Wahoo came out with a mount for the Aero bars, so decided to use them to try to make a better mount:http://www.wahoofitness.com/Products/Wahoo-Fitness-WFPetoAM.asp
I cut the tabs off the main part, and drilled holes through both it and the T and bolted with short bolts I had lying around. This makes for a more stable mount to the boat, and less "stuff". Only down side is I can't use a regular speed coach anymore. Only issue I had was the mount had a bit of a taper to it, which I had to cut down so it sat flat on the T. Otherwise, works really well.
Once I had this rig sorted out, though, I was able to remove the wires, impellor, and magnet. Nice having less stuff in the boat.

Post date: Friday, 19th August 2011
Intro: Private Finance Initiative (PFI) funding for new infrastructure, such as schools and hospitals, does not provide taxpayers with good value for money and stricter criteria should be introduced to govern its use, the Treasury Select Committee has concluded in a new report published on 19 August 2011.
The Committee's report is right to say lessons from the past need to be heeded, and PFI must only be used when it is appropriate and offers the best value for money.
But with the state of the public finances, it is absolutely essential we attract the billions of pounds of private finance needed to upgrade our national infrastructure and boost jobs and growth.
To do this, investors need confidence, and the government must decide sooner rather than later how PFI will evolve, alongside a range of alternatives, such as Tax Increment Funding and Pension Fund Financing.
It's worth remembering that without PFI we would not have seen hundreds of much-needed hospitals, schools and homes delivered on time and within budget.

The Rights of Children
Statement by Michael Freeman
Mr. Chairman,
Henryk Goldszmit, better known by his pseudonym Janusz Korczak,
was the leading Polish-Jewish educator, children's author, and pediatrician in 1930s Warsaw and his works are still studied today. In 1942, as director of an orphanage in Warsaw, he refused freedom and stayed with his orphans when they were sent to the Treblinka extermination camp
. Korczak is known to have said: "The one concerned with days, plants wheat; with years, plants trees; with generations, educates people."
The commitment of one generation to the next is the foundation of a strong and healthy society. Every state has the fundamental obligation to protect, integrate, empower and educate its children.
Israel understands that effective education is a cornerstone for the healthy development of children. As such, we plan to implement a landmark law this fall that will provide free compulsory education for children from the ages of 3 to 18.
Since its inception, Israel has sought to fulfill its obligations to children with a broad range of legislation and government programs.
In 2008, Israel launched National Program for Children and Youth at Risk, encompassing five government ministries. The Program focuses on Community based care, Early childhood and preventative services and has offered a wide range of reforms: it de-centralized the decision-making process regarding budget allocation to at-risk children, identified all children at risk in the community, systematized data-based services through local inter-organizational forum, and has held each local community responsible for tracking the outcomes of all children served.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel's vibrant civil society plays a leading role in protecting and empowering children.
For example, an NGO known as ELEM operates a variety of innovative programs nationwide that reach out to troubled children in all sectors of our society, including Israeli-Arabs, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and immigrants from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. It offers preventive care and support through counseling centers, shelters, online chat forums, and other social services.
The National Council for the Child
is the leading Israeli NGO for caring and advocating for the rights of Israeli children
. Its Child Victim Assistance Program provides psychological counseling for children and youth who are crime victims, helping to guide them through the judicial process when they must testify in court.
Save a Child's Heart (SACH) provides life-saving cardiac surgery and other life-saving procedures for children from developing countries whose parents cannot afford and cannot access such surgery. Over the past fifteen years, SACH has treated more than 3,000 children from 43 countries, many of whom do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. The group also offers a full training program in Israel for medical personnel from developing countries
It recently received special consultative status in ECOSOC in recognition of its work.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel greatly appreciates UN agencies and leaders who are working to improve life for children. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms. Leila Zerrougui on her appointment as the new Special Representative on Children in Armed Conflict, and salute the former Special Representative Under-Secretary General Radhika Coomaraswamy.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel greatly appreciates the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children, Ms. Marta Santos Pais and congratulates her for her strong dedication and for her excellent work. The numerous campaigns that she initiated represent central steps to improve awareness and sharing of best practices and guidelines for future action. We call on all member states to support the extension of her mandate this year.
Israel welcomes the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children's annual report (A/67/230) and shares the concerns expressed by the SRSG in her report, in particular regarding harmful traditional practices. Too many countries still lack national legislation that prohibits such practices.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel appreciates the SRSG's initiative to launch a global survey, to which Israel submitted written contributions. We look forward to the full publication of the report.
Israel is always very active in negotiation on child-related resolutions. Last year, we co-sponsored three such resolutions: the Rights of the Child, the Girl Child, and the International Day of the Girl Child.
In 2013, Israel will join for the first time the Executive Board of UNICEF – we are looking forward to strengthening our ties with UNICEF.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel will host, in November, a program in cooperation with the OAS (Organization of American States), focusing on strategies to keep children and youths from dropping out of school.
Other courses, in cooperation with countries such as Chile and the Russian Federation, focus on integrating children with disabilities into the normative educational framework.
At the international level, MASHAV – Israel's
Agency for International Development Cooperation – has trained hundreds of thousands educators and children from all over the world. It has been cooperating for a decade with the Organization of American States, to introduce entrepreneurship as a self-help tool for young people in the Americas. This project has trained more than 22,000 people across 29 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean islands.
MASHAV also facilitates a medical training program with staff from Soroka hospital in Beer Sheva, to improve maternal and child health services in Kumasi, Ghana. The model has proven its success in diminishing infant mortality, maternal morbidity and mortality by increasing access to ante-natal and post-partum care in a selected area; providing immunization coverage; and as an effective tool for
health education for mothers.
Mr. Chairman,
In this spirit, Israel actively collaborates with other countries in children-related research in an effort to further deepen and share knowledge for policy development. One example is our participation in the International Network of Child Policy Research Centers consisting of research institutes from around the world, including South Korea, India, South Africa, Ireland, Great Britain, the U.S and others
We are also conducting an important research exchange with China, through the Health Behaviors of School-aged Children international survey of youth.
Mr. Chairman,
There is a Jewish story about a man who planted a carob tree – a tree that only bears fruit after seventy years. When asked whether he thought he would live to eat from the tree, the man replied: "I am doing as my ancestors did. Just as they planted a carob tree for me, I am planting one for my children."

Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field (map it)
1 College St
Worcester, MA 01610
Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field website
Year Opened: 1905
Capacity: 3,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Meg Minard, Stadium Journey Special Correspondent
Tucked away on the edge of the College of Holy Cross in Worcester, MA (Wussta� as pronounced by New Englanders) between Interstate I-290, a football field and some basketball courts lies a hidden gem of a baseball field in Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field. The stadium opened in 1905 where the Holy Cross Crusaders baseball team began and continues to play. In 2005, when the Worcester Tornadoes made it their home as well, the name was changed (from Fitton Field to Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field) and the seating, lighting, and other features of the stadium were upgraded.
The Tornadoes play in the independent Can-Am League (Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball). This 2012 season, the Can-Am League has 5 teams and will play an inter-league schedule with the American Association League, providing fans the ability to follow new players in both leagues.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The food selection is your average ballpark fare: Hamburgers, hot dogs, philly cheese steak, chicken tenders, onion rings, Italian sausage, nachos, and pizza ranging from $3.50 - $6.25. Snacks include chips, peanuts, popcorn, ice cream, cracker jacks, etc. There is a Fried Dough ($6) stand.
There are several local beer options including a Blueberry Beer ($5.25 - 12 oz can) as well as a draft Green Monsta IPA, which is fabulous if you like hoppy beer ($5.50 16 oz cup) provided by the Wachusett Brewing Co. One disappointment was they ran out of the Green Monsta by the 3rd inning. How sad. There is also local Narragansett beer provided ($4.75 16 oz can) as well as your traditional domestic beers.
The field is in perfect condition: green, green grass - I just wanted to take my sneakers off and walk the field.
Nets go from the end of the first base dugout to the end of the third base dugout so if you want to watch the game free of net obstruction, choose section L (third base side - home team) or section D (first base side - visiting team).
There are select moments in the game the music is played and the volume level is perfect. Many other teams/baseball organizations need to take notice of how the Tornadoes use music to their advantage. It's mostly music/noise free while the pitcher and batter are facing each other and one can be at peace and hear the comments from fans in the stands (and from coaches/players on the field). Some music is played between player at-bats and between innings which keeps the fans involved.
There are promotional events between each half inning which entertains the fan base but does not dominate the between inning time.
There are no pubs or restaurants within walking distance (1/2 mile) of the stadium. There are, however, several places to visit within a 5 minute drive. Two recommended to me are: Brew City which offers 155 beers with 40 varieties on tap and The Perfect Game which is another sports bar venue.
Also recommended in Worcester is the Higgins Armory Museum, the only museum in the western hemisphere solely dedicated to arms, armor, and art.
Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field is located on the edge of the College of Holy Cross with its grand trees, green grass, and a 174-acre hillside campus with beautiful landscaping. If you get a chance, go ahead and stroll or drive through the campus for a view.
There were not many fans this Monday evening. There was a fantastic banter/dialogue between the fans and the visiting 3rd base coach this game (Ed Ott - catcher for the Pirates and Angels from 1974-1981) at this game.
It's an easy entry and exit to and from the stadium as it is right off the I-290 interstate. One can park in the garage. It was free of charge for the Tornadoes game I attended (website says $5 charge-perhaps for Crusaders football or baseball).
There is one set of restrooms for each gender behind the home plate area. Plenty of stalls available and it is clean and flood free.
I did not notice public transportation but after doing research there are some bus services available from the Worcester Regional Transit Authority. As usual, as a visitor to Worcester (Wussta'), I am unable to read / figure out the public transit options.
$10 for tickets behind 3rd base dugout (we moved one section over to be beyond the nets); $5.25 for a local beer; $4.00 - $6.00 for food; free parking.
The Tornadoes have promotion options including Two For Tuesdays (even on a Thursday), fireworks night, group events, and etc.
The beautiful green field, the banter between fans and Ed Ott and other field coaches, hat pins in the souvenir shop, pocket schedules available, local beer selection (only 1/2 point because they ran out), a peaceful, none music/noise-filled evening of baseball - one that lets you just enjoy the game and the banter of the fans and those on the field (2 points).
Come on Worcester (Wussta')! You've got a great ballpark and an organization that makes watching a game enjoyable at a reasonable price. Go out and support your Tornadoes.
Interesting delay
I have heard of games being delayed for numerous reasons but this one might just top the cake.

Image Standards & Logos
Each year, UAA produces hundreds of print and electronic publications for external distribution. In order for these publications to have a collective impact for the university, they must have some similarity in design and/or presentation. One way to accomplish this goal—without restricting overall design creativity—is to unify our institutional logos to help create an overall UAA brand.
All academic and administrative units whose operational funding is administered by UAA are governed by these standards, with the exception of student clubs/organizations and UAA's community campuses. These image standards apply to all UAA materials, including those funded by sponsorships, grants, fees, partnerships or any other source.

Colgate's Mike Armiento
Aug. 19, 2014
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - For the first time in nearly two decades, there is change coming in Hamilton. Though as new head coach Dan Hunt says, hopefully not too much of it.
Dick Biddle retired after leading Colgate to seven Patriot League titles in his 18 seasons as head coach from 1996-2013. Hunt is in to replace his former boss after serving as the associate head coach, and hopes to keep Colgate as the run-first juggernaut that dominated Patriot League defenses during Biddle's tenure.
The Raiders, picked fifth in the Patriot League preseason poll, come off a rare losing season where they finished 4-8 overall, though they did tie for second in League action with a 3-2 mark. Colgate loses quarterback Gavin McCarney, the 2012 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, but has a group of returning running backs with experience to carry on the ground game. The bigger task may be turning around the defense, where the Raiders have struggled in recent years and gave up 32.6 points per game a season ago.
A preview of the 2014 Colgate Raiders season is included below, with a look at the offense, defense, special teams and schedule, five burning questions and links to information and video previews for the season.
For more on all of the teams, read the 2014 Patriot League Football Preview and watch all of the preseason video features on the Youtube Football Playlist
HEAD COACH: Dan Hunt, 1st Season (0-0 Overall/Colgate, 0-0 Patriot League)
2013 RECORD: 4-8 overall, 3-2 Patriot League (T2nd place)
PATRIOT LEAGUE PRESEASON POLL: 5th
PRESEASON ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE: Ed Pavalko (Sr., FB/HB); Kris Kent (Sr., LB); Mike Armiento (Sr., DB)
PLN VIDEOS: Dan Hunt Ready to Take Over at Colgate | Offense will not look any different under Hunt | Defense making a change for 2014
OFFENSE: Colgate loses the leading rusher among all quarterbacks in Patriot League history with Gavin McCarney departing, and will likely look to sophomore Jake Melville to fill the void. Melville appeared in five games and started one last year as McCarney dealt with injuries. As usual for a Colgate offense, the running game looks to be a strength with both Demetrius Russell and John Wilkins at running back and preseason All-Patriot Leaguer Ed Pavalko at fullback. Jimmy DeCicco is a dual threat to run or catch the ball, while tight ends John Quazza and Kevin O'Connell are the top returning pass-catchers. Jordi Dalmau leads the offensive line after an All-Patriot League season as a freshman.
DEFENSE: The Raiders again gave up more than 30 points per game last season, but they do have their top two players back in defensive back Mike Armiento (92 TT, 6 INT) and linebacker Kris Kent (91 TT, 11 TFL), who both earned preseason All-Patriot League honors. Linebacker Vinny Russo (78 TT) was the third-leading tackler, while Victor Steffen (44 TT, 4 sacks) is the top returnee on the line.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Nikko Armiento is back for the Raiders after posting a solid 40.1 average on 54 punts last season. The Raiders only attempted three field goals last season, with Jonah Bowman making his only chance and returning this year. Jimmy DeCicco averaged 26.1 yards on kickoff returns and John Maddaluna is back as the primary punt return man.
SCHEDULE: Colgate takes on a challenging non-League slate which opens up with road games at Ball State (Aug. 30) and Delaware (Sept. 13). Dan Hunt coaches his first game at Andy Kerr Stadium against Cornell (Sept. 20) to open a four-game homestand which includes Patriot League games against Georgetown (Sept. 27) and Holy Cross (Oct. 4) as well as a matchup with Princeton (Oct. 11). The Raiders play five of their final six games on the road, beginning with a daunting road trip to Yale (Oct. 18), Albany (Oct. 25) and Fordham (Nov. 1). Colgate then hosts Lafayette (Nov. 8) before finishing the season at Lehigh (Nov. 15) and Bucknell (Nov. 22).
Five Questions
1. Can Hunt provide a seamless transition?
Colgate will have someone other than Dick Biddle patrolling the sidelines as head coach for the first time since 1996, but Dan Hunt hopes nobody notices much change in Hamilton. Hunt was on the sidelines for all of Biddle's 18 seasons at Colgate, and was calling the offense two years ago when the Raiders and McCarney set multiple rushing records on the way to the Patriot League title. He also served as assistant/associate head coach for four seasons, so Hunt appears more than ready to step in and take over the Colgate program. The bigger challenge for the former offensive coordinator may be improving a defense that has struggled in recent seasons, but don't expect the Colgate brand of football to change with Hunt at the helm.
2. Will Melville be the next McCarney?
Hunt has coached the quarterbacks since Colgate's first Patriot League title in 1997, so he knows how important the signal-caller position is to the Raider offense. There was a significant drop-off when McCarney was not healthy last season, but the good part was that Jake Melville gained valuable experience running the offense as a freshman. Melville appeared in five games and started one, and showed flashes of potential in his time under center. Melville might not duplicate McCarney's 2012 season right off the bat, but the sophomore season has been a big one for recent Colgate quarterbacks. Both McCarney in 2011 and Greg Sullivan in 2008 emerged as starters in their sophomore campaign, and Melville has the opportunity to do the same and add his name to the lineage of dual-threat quarterbacks for the Raiders.
3. Is there another star ready to emerge at running back?
The 2013 season was one of the few where a Colgate rusher did not make the All-Patriot League Team, but it's easy to see that the next Jamaal Branch, Jordan Scott, Nate Eachus or Jordan McCord could be ready to step up in the Raider backfield. John Wilkins might have put together a big season a year ago, but was injured during the week two loss to Albany when he had already totaled 166 yards and two touchdowns with a 4.9 yards per carry average on the ground. He will have three-time All-Patriot League selection Ed Pavalko returning to lead the way at fullback. Demetrius Russell held the position last year and rushed for 667 yards and nine touchdowns, so the Raiders have options in the backfield. But if Wilkins can duplicate last year's start and stay healthy, Colgate may have found its next running back ready to roll through the Patriot League.
4. Will a change in philosophy boost the defense?
Colgate's defense has not kept up with the offense in recent seasons, even in the Raiders' 2012 Patriot League title campaign. As an effort to improve the unit, Hunt will make a change on this side as the Raiders look to use more multiple sets up front including a 3-4 package. The Raiders look to improve a unit that had trouble across the board last season, as the team gave up 32.6 points per game and allowed 200 yards per contest on the ground. There are solid players back including Armiento and Kent as preseason All-Patriot League picks. The Raiders will need the group to come together quickly, because they can't afford to rely on a historic offensive season to win in the Patriot League as they did two years ago.
5. Will the Raiders enter November unbeaten in the Patriot League?
Colgate is only picked fifth in the Patriot League, so the Raiders are not expected to be a major contender for the 2014 title. But the schedule might just help Colgate enter the final month of the season with an unblemished mark in the League race. Colgate plays its first two Patriot League games at home against the teams picked behind it in the preseason poll, Georgetown and Holy Cross, consecutively on Sept. 27 and Oct. 4. Colgate then plays three more non-League games before returning to League action on Nov. 1 at Fordham to begin a stretch of four Patriot League contests in the final month against the teams picked ahead of the Raiders in the preseason. That stretch, which includes three road games, will be very difficult, but Colgate could show up there in good shape and has eight games preceding it to get ready.

Just Call It the Lower East Slurp
What the heck is up with all these LES seafood joints?
We're not totally sure what's going on, but it seems every restaurateur on the LES had the same flash of inspiration lately: oysters! There's the Home Sweet Home and Fat Radish teams' upcoming bivalveries, plus that other place planned for 173 Bowery, something called the Boil, and not to mention newcomers Nor East Clam Shack and Grey Lady. Well, now Time Out's giant fall preview has it that Rob Shamlian (Spitzer's) is branching out with his own slurp spot, Tiny Fork, at 167 Orchard. Seems the streets of downtown will soon be paved with oyster shells once again. [TONY, Earlier, Earlier]

A Shasta College football player is in critical condition after he was attacked on a street in Chico during Halloween weekend parties.
Tyler Burton, 21, was walking with a group of friends on W. 8th Street around 1:15 Sunday morning.
Police said the suspect, 20-year-old Andres Rodriguez of Citrus Heights, was walking with a group of friends in the opposite direction toward them.
Chico Police Detective Sergeant Scott Franssen said as the groups passed , a few of them bumped into each other. Rodriguez then allegedly punched Burton in the head and knocked him unconscious to the pavement where he hit his head once more. Police found him unconscious.
Officers later found Rodriguez on Ivy Street near 8th Street in Chico and arrested him.
Burton was taken to Enloe Hospital and is in critical condition with a life-threatening head injury.
Rodriguez was booked into the Butte County jail on a charge of assault with great bodily injury. His bail is set at one-million dollars.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Chico Police Department Detective Bureau at (530) 897-5820.
Burton is from Vancouver, Washington. A facebook group has been established called "Praying for Tyler Burton."

Do you know what it's like to go from lots of financial concerns over a long period of time to getting a better job?
It feels like going from dry grass to deep, picnicking, jungle green. It feels like every color in the crayon box is back in your hands.
It feels like one big giant relief.
It feels like you can dream again and not just spend all your brain power on shuffling the pragmatic things. Like the dreams can go from sitting on the shelf to walking down the street again.
And it definitely feels like a fresh new day.
You all know I'm a sucker for "fresh" anything – years, months, days. New jobs for stressed out husbands surely make the top of that list.
All of these pages were made last July, one right after the other. "Things Bright" though I am, that giant "Relief" page is one of my all time favorites. There's nothing subtle or layered about it, but it perfectly expresses how I felt.
Elements used in these pages include:
