how about renewal of a permit? Have you heard any thing on this? It sounds like they need to hire some people if the government has not already skimmed the money out of the trust fund. There should be more then enough money to hire some people.
Once you have your permit in your "hot little hands" you'll forget about the wait, and just be glad you have it.
However, the "express application" for those who have yet to apply would definitely be the way to go in Florida!
The wait is agonizing for everyone regardless of the length!
In Missouri, by state statute, they must issue or deny within 45 days. If back ground check has not come back within the 45 days, they still, by law, must go ahead and issue the permit!
If later, the back ground check does come back a "no go", it is then up to the Sheriff to go to the individual and revoke the permit which was already issued.
The legislature did this in order to keep local Sheriff's from intentionally dragging their feet in issuing permits.
So at least we know going in, exactly how long the wait is going to be and that it won't be any longer than 45 days!
Once you get your "certificate for permit" from the Sheriff, the individual takes the "certificate" to any DMV office and your permit is printed up right there on the spot. So, in 45 days, you go to the Sheriff, pick up your "certificate" then go to the DMV and leave with your permit in your hand that day. (You are either issued a new Drivers License which shows your ccw status or you can opt for a Non-Driver State ID card which shows your ccw status.)

Dear Mr Mathews,
I understand that people can now apply for a CWL in person at the Department of Agriculture Office in Fort Walton Beach, I know a few people that are applying for their license from Pensacola. If this is true how do I arrange for people in my area to get their license processing in person, and what do they need to bring with them? Also is there a DOA office in Pensacola where they can turn in their Application or is it just at the Fort Walton Beach office?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

After I forwarded the email above to a few folks including my brother who has procrastinated himself into good fortune. He called Monday, made an appointment for Weds. He said it took less than thirty minutes and he should expect his permit in approximately 30 days. BTW, he's in Orlando.
On the flip side of that, A LTC at work sent his in, in April and still no word. His was also a lapsed renewal and still taking way too long.

Rookie trio, Lunafly, really stand out amongst the glossy Korean idol groups that have debuted this year. They write and produce their own music, play their own instruments, and one of them has hair like a Middle of Nowhere era Hanson. They're definitely not your average boy band, which is no surprise considering that their labelmates are the Brown Eyed Girls — aka K-pop's No. 1 not-so-average girl group.
Lunafly debuted back in September with "How Nice Would it Be," which didn't exactly live up to the band's pre-debut hype with its dated Stargate-esque production and teenage love song lyrics. Now they're back with a new single, "Clear Day, Cloudy Day," and it's a huge step up for the clearly talented group. It's got gorgeous '90s acoustics, soft R&B undertones, and emo lyrics about the weather. It's a lot better than a certain ballad from a certain singer whom we won't name that's currently doing very well on the charts, so hopefully Lunafly will receive some much-deserved love for this one. With such great music, we wouldn't want to see them fall through the cracks like so many other rookie acts this year already have.

|To secure the safety of international trade of animal and their derived products, it is required that animals should be proven infection-free using a validated diagnostic test certified by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). Test validation involves a multi-step evaluation process to assess test accuracy and its fitness for a specific purpose. Contrary to common understanding, diagnostic accuracy is not constant for each test and may vary within and between populations according to the distribution of biological factors that influence the pathophysiology of the disease. Diagnostic test accuracy combines the precision (repeatability & reproducibility) and the trueness of the test (diagnostic sensitivity, DSe, & specificity, DSp). The objective of this research program was to extend diagnostic test evaluation methods by estimating accuracy specifically for influential covariate factors. This research was applied to reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV). Early detection of ISAV is the base of an efficient control of this devastating disease for salmon aquaculture industries. RT-PCR accuracy was shown to differ among stages of infection, revealing substantial variation of test precision across prevalences of infection stages in the tested populations. Submission factors such as homogenization and testing laboratory also significantly impacted the precison and were accounted for to predict test result agreement across prevalences. Latent Class Modeling (LCM) was used to evaluate test trueness in absence of true status information. LCM assumes that DSe & DSp are constant across populations, which was revealed as an invalid assumption. Extending to 3-class LCM revealed different DSe between low- and high-infected salmon. Finally, the selection of the proper cutpoint for the real-time version of RT-PCR was dependent on the distribution of infection stages in the target population. Both analytical and epidemiological approaches to select the cutpoint were reviewed to improve the fit for intended purpose of the test. Potential applications for specific estimates of test accuracy and new perspectives on diagnostic test evaluation and use were discussed.

|home : index : ancient Greece : Diadochi : Diodorus of Sicily
The End of the Macedonian Royal House
|In 311, the Diadochi concluded a peace treaty. Ptolemy and Lysimachus were confirmed in their territories, Egypt and Thrace; Cassander and Antigonus Monophthalmus remained supreme commanders of the Macedonian forces in Europe and Asia; the Greek towns were recognized by all parties as 'free and autonomous' (but Cassander kept garrisons at several places); and it was agreed that the boy king Alexander IV, son of Alexander the Great and Roxane, would become sole ruler of the entire empire when he came of age, in 305. The result was, of course, that the royals were killed as soon as possible. Diodorus of Sicily tells the story in his World History (19.105.1-4); the translation was made by M.M. Austin.
(Louvre, Paris)
In the archonship of Simonides at Athens [1], Cassander, Ptolemy and Lysimachus put an end to the war against Antigonus and concluded a treaty. It was specified in it that Cassander should be general of Europe until Alexander, Roxane's son, should come of age, that Lysimachus should be master of Thrace and Ptolemy master of Egypt and the neighboring cities in Libya and Arabia, that Antigonus should command the whole of Asia, while the Greeks should be autonomous.
Nevertheless they failed to abide by this agreement, and each of them put forward fair pretexts and sought to increase his power. Cassander saw that Roxane's son Alexander was growing up and that there were some who were spreading the word in Macedonia that one ought to release the boy from custody and hand over to him his father's kingdom.
Afraid for his own safety, he instructed Glaucias, who was in charge of the boy's custody, to assassinate Roxane and the king and conceal their bodies, and not to report the deed to any of the others. Glaucias carried out the orders, and this freed Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy and even Antigonus from anticipated fears about the king. For now that there was no one to take over the empire, those who ruled peoples or cities could each entertain hopes of kingship and controlled henceforward the territory under their power like kingdoms that had been conquered in war.

On the face of it, Dredd is a derivative cop movie. Hard as nails cop gets assigned a rookie, they get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, have a run in with a gang, and it 'gets personal'. Almost the entire movie happens inside a high-rise building. So it's kind of like The Rookie meets Die Hard.
But if you're ready to interpret, to watch creatively, it's weirdly deep. Let's go.
Dredd happens in a dystopian future, where the United States have become a wasteland of two faces: the normal, deserty wasteland of nuclear fallout and the social wasteland of Megacity, an urban area stretching from Boston to DC. (They don't say what happened to the rest of the world. Typical.) 'Judges' are cops who are two branches of government in one: they apprehend, try and sentence on the spot, and the sentence is often death by one of the fancy, variable bullets that a Judge's gun can shoot. So there's clearly an element of science fiction to it. In fiction, the features of the world the author has created are not random. You can analyze them. And in science fiction, the world is changed in more pronounced ways, so it makes the job a little easier.
Interpretation can be fun, so let's not mess around and start with the drugs. Have you ever noticed how the effects of drugs in science fiction movies are oddly specific? In Brave New World, the modern drug is Soma, which adds a psychological sleepy and zombified state to highlight everybody's social and zombified state, whereas the savages trip out on peyote, which lets them see all kinds of alternate realities and puke a lot. Hey, it's Huxley. Or in film, Strange Days depicts a society of people treating each other like contemptible meat, but the plot revolves around a technological drug that lets people vicariously relive other people's experiences and, interestingly, their own. It's 3D empathy in a bottle. These descriptions serve the plot and grammar of the movie, i.e. the rules of how the symbols relate to each other. This won't work if the most you can say about the drug is 'more body buzz, less euphoria, and epic munchies, brah'.
In Dredd, the drug that has given the gang its power and Dredd his motivation is 'SloMo'. SloMo gives the user the feeling that reality has slowed down 100x, which means that ladies are gonna need it more than men (and if you don't get that joke, you're too young for me to explain it – ask your mother, she'll get it). If, on the other hand, you're being skinned and tossed off a 170 story balcony, as happens in the movie, this decelerated reality is gonna be a pain in the everything.
What does this odd level of specificity mean? Slowing time down would put a totally different spin on what's worthwhile and how to spend time. In particular, simulated experiences are going to get much worse and direct sensory experiences are going to get much better. Imagine Angry Birds slowed down 100x. Have fun. We've already seen what slow motion did to the record of poor Beyonce's half-time show. Try watching porn in super slow-mo. There is a minimum frame rate to make a simulation enjoyable. Slow it down, and the illusion falls apart. Direct experience, low mediation-experiences, though, are gonna be awesome. Licking a spoonful of nutella in slow motion? Yes, please. Even a terror, like a car accident, would have its attractions. Instead of being catapulted from the life you know to a new reality of broken bones and rehabilitation, or mourning, that you don't understand, you'd have time to process it and see the transition. As fast as the world now moves, the ability to slow it down might often be a mercy.
But if slowing time down sounds attractive in really good times and bad, there's must be some interesting psychology going on. There's hedonism, but maybe it has an element of masochism. What? Okay, I'll slow down.
Although you'd think drug use is supposed to be fun, the movie does a terrible job of making SloMo seem fun. If I remember correctly, there is only once scene where a character uses the drug (out of maybe a dozen) and doesn't face some horrible death during or immediately after taking it. Death has a lot to do with time. The Freudian take on self-destructive behavior, which is a way of killing yourself in slow motion, is kind of like a twisted Buddhism (stoicism too, Frugal?): as long as you're alive and kicking, you're going to be unsatisfied and in a state of want, so moving yourself closer to death means getting closer to peace. That makes slowing life down with a drug a very ambiguous act (and 'ambiguous' means it has two meanings, not that the meaning is vague. Sorry for the pedantry, but it's important). Taking a toxic drug that is going to bring a Judge/executioner down on you is clearly moving you closer to death, but the effect of the drug, the feeling, is of prolonged life. The drug's effect with reference to death is ambiguous, so the users feel … that's right: ambivalent. Siggi, meet Jimmy:
This might seem like a stretch of interpretation, to which I have 2 replies: 1) so what? Interpretation is always a creative act for which there should be, uh, websites and stuff. 2) compare it to the effects of other well-known drugs, real and fantastic. The scabby, imploded faces of speedfreaks pale in comparison to what the spice mélange does to its regular users. Light users, i.e. mentats, get red-stained lips, and junkies, i.e. navigators, mutate into elephantine space sperm. The ring in the Tolkein books morphs its human wearers into the twisted, emaciated human form they have already assumed cognitively. It's a marvelously psychosomatic substance – kind of like the heavy end of the opiate scale. But SloMo works only on, which is to say in, its users' heads.
Heads play a very strong role in Dredd's symbolic cosmos generally. It's a futuristic cop show, so plenty of heads get shot, but they aren't just shot. In Dredd, heads get explodinated, obliterated and destructified, often in slow motion. When the Judges examine the bodies of the Guys tossed from the balcony, the extruded brains are not only visible, but almost emphasized. Slow motion head shots let you see where the round entered and passed before it exits in a shower of skin, blood and bone. The first KIA in the movie is a head getting smashed against a windshield and the second is a head getting melted (yeah, Mega-citizens' heads melt. Who knew?) by a special head-melting round from Dredd's all-purpose-utility-belt-in-a-sidearm.
And the main characters' heads also scream information about their bearer. Some examples:
1) The villain, MaMa, is a former prostitute whose pimp cut up her face (and in return she reportedly bit off his köttbullar*). So what is the most apparent feature of her head? It's scarred. And in a briefing scene where they exposit MaMa's backstory, they show a picture of her from her days as a working girl. Then she had long hair draped flat around her head. Villain MaMa's hair is shortish, dark and chaotic without direction or control.
2) Y'know the standard character of computer geek who sits in HQ and provides a higher ranked character with up to the minute, mission critical intel? Like Hans Gruber's football fan and John McClane's fat Kevin Smith pal in Die Hard 4? Well, MaMa has such a technically gifted sidekick too, and he's terrified of her. How did she inspire the loyalty despite, or with, his terror? She gouged his eyes out and had them replaced with some kind of bionic cyborg eyes. She's characterized by her scarring and wild hair, so it makes sense that the computer geek has his defining characteristic physically embedded into his head. Whereas our wetware interfaces with technological hardware somewhere in that peculiar void between our eyes and the screen, in his case hardware penetrates the wetware and you don't know exactly where the interface is, but it's definitely inside his skull. Like Gen 2 Google glasses.
3) In superhero movies there's often a poignant scene where the mask is withdrawn to reveal, or just almost but not quite reveal, the person underneath. That scene is a standard trope, epitomized by the upside down kissing scene in Spiderman. There are two ways to riff on this cliché for even greater effect. One would be to pass on the mask entirely. The effect would be to show a Guy's superpowers without assuming a superidentity. This might actually be the John McClane tactic. No quick change in a telephone booth (Google it, kids), just a Guy going about his day and having to call up the super on demand when his day is interrupted. Well, Dredd uses the other method and goes in the opposite direction. He's the title character, but you never see Judge Dredd's eyes. Unless you look it up, you won't recognize the actor, because you only ever see an expressionless mouth or a grimace from the nose down. He wears his helmet throughout the movie, without pause. John McClane is just an ordinary Guy in extraordinary situations, but Dredd has buried his ordinary Guy behind a wall of Judge. There might be something underneath, some touching backstory, but as far as anyone outside his head is concerned, there is only impassive justice.
4) The Rookie Judge, Anderson, is a psychic.** Her backstory is that her parents died of apocalyptic radiation cancer, and she was caught in the system before the system noticed her talents and totally integrated her by sending her to Judge training. She can't become a Judge yet because she's too empathic to pass the Judge tests, and it's Dredd's job to test her in the field for a day to see if she can hack it (remember: everything is a test). Unlike the other Judges, she cannot wear a helmet because it would interfere with her psychic powers. She has curly, blonde hair. And when the whole skyrise gets locked down in order for MaMa to hunt the Judges and prevent them from leaving alive, everything is dark and red and green, but Anderson is rockin' a Madonna's halo. I know that the image of halos is generally the golden ring oddly floating above and slightly back of the angel's skull or head or whatever. But did you know that the German word for halo, Heiligenschein, means something like 'saintly shine' or 'holy glow'? That implies the sanctity coming from inside, not just being plopped on as an accessory. That's Anderson's head. The goodness radiates out.
A mangled villain head, a cyborg techie head, the permanent and impenetrable helmet of justice, and the golden glowing head of a psychic who's too good for the world she's in.
Not quite. Anderson would be the image of pure good were it not for the Foucaultian moment. Some context: in investigating the splattered bodies at the bottom of the building, Dredd and Anderson get sent to a drug den in the same building that they bust up, and in doing so they capture one of MaMa's lieutenants. MaMa then seals the building with blast shields, and soon enough Dredd figures out that she doesn't want her lieutenant to leave alive because he must know something special. MaMa's gang is swarming through the building trying to find and kill Dredd, Anderson and lieutenant, so Dredd is understandably keen on finding out what information could be so sensitive. And he's a tough cop, and that's what tough cops do. He gets the three of them to a quiet spot, and then he starts beating the living hell out of the lieutenant to make him talk. This is nothing inappropriate, because a Judge is empowered to melt someone's head on the spot in order to carry out a sentence, so beating a known murderer isn't really too bad. But viewers get uncomfortable watching the 'enhanced interrogation techniques', and Anderson relieves their discomfort by saying 'If you let me do it, we don't even have to ask,' so Dredd steps back and lets Anderson do a Professor Xavier and infiltrate the Guy's mind to get the information. She's successful. In the movie, this seems to reinforce Anderson's goodness, her inclination to avoid violence, so why does it show the opposite?
Foucault did a lot of historical research in a manner he called genealogy (from Nietzsche, for you existentialists), and he looked at a lot of stuff this way, including the history of judicial punishment. He traced the shift from the pre-enlightenment modes of punishment to the modern forms. For the early stuff, think inquisitions, witch hunts and guillotines. You do something wrong, like consort with the devil (witches/inquisition) or systematically abuse most of a country for your own benefit (aristocracy), and justice will entail burning your body, or cutting off your head, or putting you on the rack, or drawing and quartering, or some other form of mangling your body and ending your life. After the Enlightenment, though, criminals' bodies become taboo, so you have to lock them up, submit them to a regimented daily routine, restrict access to letters, talk and ideas, educate, and basically make all the choices for the convict. The model went from punishment as punishment to punishment as rehabilitation, reintegration into society, reconfiguring the personality for more convenience. So if you think of it in terms of Braveheart or Kunta Kinte, who refused to change their ideas, to give up the sovereignty over their own heads, no matter what happened to their bodies, modern rehabilitation is in some ways more violent than physical torture because of how it tries to change who people are.
If you look at it this way, Anderson's method of robbing the lieutenant of the sovereignty over his own head is maybe more brutal than Dredd's method of beating the snot out of him. And one reason to believe this was a deliberate on the part of the filmmakers, not that it matters too much, is that this scene happens in a classroom, as evidenced by relatively bright colours and kid-sized desks. What normally happens in a classroom? Exactly. Moulding people's minds to make them fit for society.
Anderson's psychic abilities make for another difference between how she and Dredd act, and here's where we start getting existential. Because Anderson can see into other people's souls (or minds or motivations or wills or whatever you prefer), she hesitates much more. She has access to more information, so she has to collect and process cognitive information about the person standing in front of her before she acts. Who is he, why is he doing this, can I kill him in good conscience? She needs more time. She can react exactly right, but she needs things to slow down, so it would be handy if there were a drug that… Dredd is, at least on the surface, less troubled with killing because his limited access to information makes everything seem less complex. He has to call 'em as he sees 'em, and he's committed to applying the Law. Man shooting at a Judge? Attempting to kill a Judge punishable by death? Deal Judgement. When Dredd and Anderson find and capture the computer geek with the bionic eyes, Dredd's ready to kill him, but Anderson looks into his mind and sees what MaMa had done to him, so she let him go to Dredd's dismay.
Anderson's access to all the information she needs also means she has a lighter existential burden. She doesn't need to doubt whether she's Judging the situation right; she knows, she has all the information and sees everybody's cards, so there's no gamble. Dredd, on the other hand, is working without a net. Because of his ignorance, he needs unshakable trust in the system that made and empowers him. He cannot improvise or hesitate, he must submit himself entirely to the Justice of the institutions, to his role as a Judge, and he has to believe it is right and proper.
Dredd only hesitates before killing twice. Once is in the final duel with MaMa, and it's understandable because she's strapped a pulse meter to her wrist, and as soon as it stops measuring her pulse, the whole building, the Judges and all 70 000 residents will be explodinated like so much bad Guy head. He needs a scheme to kill her without killing everyone else, and that takes a sec to work out. Interestingly, though, Anderson had to be knocked out of commission for that to happen. Given how she reprieved the computer geek, there is no way she could have let MaMa get Judged as a scarred woman with a painful past. So before Dredd could dispatch her, Anderson had to be knocked out first.
The second instance of Dredd hesitating is when two tween gang members get the jump Dredd, Anderson, and the Lieutenant, and sneak up on them with guns. Threatening a Judge with death is a Deathable offence, so Dredd should have just offed them. But he hesitated, did a duck-and-roll, and stunned them instead of just shooting them. And when he does this, the lieutenant captures Anderson. The cardinal rule of veteran cops in cop movies is NEVER LOSE THE ROOKIE. The Guy two days from retirement is a gonner anyway, but the rookie? No. Why did Dredd break the cardinal rule of his character's type to save a couple of obvious criminals? You don't know. Those reasons are behind the helmet, and the helmet locks down his mind like the blast shields on a post-apocalyptic skyscraper.
Oh, and there were a lot of spoilers above, but if you're worried about spoilers, you weren't looking for a critical interpretation; you were looking for an advertisement.
*There are also some really interesting gender angles in this movie: MaMa (paging Dr. Freud) as a former prostitute who takes over a man's criminal empire populated (exclusively?) by male thugs. Anderson defying the rules of Justice (i.e. superego/dad) to show empathy. Dredd giving her a pass on the test despite her breaking these rules, so is he discovering his 'feminine' side? Dredd's mode of transportation is basically a supercharged dildo on wheels, and the whole conflict takes place inside a giant sheathed phallus, etc. I've said enough in this post, but I'd love to hear somebody else pick these angles apart in a different post or right here in the comments.
** Pop quiz: what is the difference between a psychic and a schizophrenic? A schizophrenic experiences multiple realities in their own head, and a psychic experiences those realities in others' heads. But doesn't she experience the reality of their heads within her own? Where's the wetware-wetware interface? Answer me that, and you'll have earned your philosopher's merit badge.

Chris (carencerth) show me some of you work, I really like the way you did your dress, It's a quite simple one (but by experience: simple doesn't mean easy) but the cut is perfect and the fabrics are beautiful and you got the perfect body/face to wear it.
I shall thank him then and also thank you so much! Yes, it looks simple but it's just as you say: simple doesn't mean easy :b The cut, for example, was a little bit hard for me (because I've a really small waist) and I'm not even sure if it fits right to be honest but I'm glad that you like it! That wasn't my original plan for the fabric, but I still like this one a lot. Awww ; ; Thank you, once again! For taking your time to comment my work and for the compliment^^
yeah, He told me about your tiny waist (If think he like screw me up with that subject x) He is the best for giving me that kind of complex xD). Did you do the pattern? or did you buy/find it? It's a real bother when you have to apply some modifications on it. Anyway it seems to suit you fine (and It suit you well). No problem, I like wrote comments for the work I like (my english really sucks...), thanks to you too, for the watch ><
Seriously why (and I don't think you need to have any complex, you are super pretty^^) Yes, I make my own patterns according to my idea of the costumes. It's just that I'm not a pro, so it was a bit hard for me to make the top part fit me right uwu Thanks again (your english seems fine to me, I'm not that fluent too ahah). You are most welcome! Your works are amazing
haha, you are cute ^^ but he is right, I need to improve my body (sport this summer, and the most important: be carefull with food xD my biggest ennemy xD).
Well, if you do your own pattern, that mean you are really great! It's very hard ><
Well, if you do your own pattern, that mean you are really great! It's very hard ><

oMG, marry me
Ahah I've a boyfriend already!
AH loving your version of yukari's umbrella!! - i d k but its something about that chubby ribbon that makes your pose all the cuter and daintier but still with presence (that is spot on yukari-ish) your gaze is perfect too - incorporating a sort of soft gentle power all in one. Also gotta love how the white umbrella stem can still be seen through the fan as it's criss-crossing the pattern. aha lol! that has got to be the most irrelevant details of this piece, but i am still so easily amused hehe indeed i agree, this is a perfect cosplay under a cherry blossom with each and every fallen petal perfectly positioned on the steps
Awee, thank you so much ♥ I am really glad that you apreciated all those details! It makes me feel even more that the hard work was worth it, as costume maker and cosplayer too^^ You even cared to praise the photography work, so thanks a lot for taking your time to comment this picture (:
Amazing =^_^=
How do you walk in those heels?
They are more comfortable than it seems :b
I was thinking purple must be your color, but then again theyre all your colors.Beautiful dress, awesome pose, and as always a lovely model.Instfav (you make the dress/umbrella?)
very sweet pick
Nice photo
Perfect indeed

And the uncle didn't do too bad himself. His high for the night was a whopping 236 or something close to that. The bowling lady couldn't get the printer to print out scores so I can't remember his exact highest score, of course that is not his all time best as he says he has bowled several perfect games in his time, crazy!

But just as the lessons were kicking in we got bumped outta there and only got through 2 games. And I was actually improving, so sad.
Guess we will just have to go back again.

"Gerber's ad is a shameful restatement of many of the company's past deceptive claims," charged consumer advocate Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
"Their ad is headlined 'Gerber sets the record straight on nutrition,' yet the company is spending millions of dollars to maintain the phony premise that added sugar and cheap fillers don't reduce nutritional value. Gerber would better serve its customers by taking this ad budget and using it to put more real food in its products."
On February 14, CSPI filed a massive petition with the Federal Trade Commission charging that Gerber has engaged in deceptive advertising since at least 1950. CSPI cited numerous deceptive claims in more than a dozen recent Gerber ads and promotional materials, as well as in 16 ads from 1950-90. The petition asks the FTC to halt Gerber's misleading ads; to penalize the company financially; and to require them to run remedial advertising. CSPI is amending its FTC complaint to include today's ads.
Gerber's best-selling baby food, Bananas with Tapioca, contains 40 percent less banana than Beech-Nut's Bananas. (Incidently, the "tapioca" Gerber uses is not ordinary tapioca starch, but starch that has been chemically modified by reaction with such chemicals as acetic anhydride, propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, sodium trimetaphosphate, and adipic-acetic mixed anhydride.)
"In fact, 4 out of 5 pediatricians who recommend baby food recommend Gerber." Actually, according to the survey that Gerber relies upon, 4 out of 5 pediatricians did not recommend any brand of commercial baby food. Only 16 percent of the pediatricians recommended Gerber. While technically true, this claim is inherently deceptive.
"Making sure America's babies get the nutrition they need is our number one priority." If that were true, Gerber wouldn't make dozens of products with added modified starch, sugar, and water, including many dessert products that are the first junk foods that many babies eat.
Gerber's number-one priority is making money: CSPI estimates that Gerber makes an additional $2.3 million per year in windfall profits on its banana products alone by diluting them with less-expensive fillers.
"In some recipes, we add a small amount of sugar." That "small amount" can be as much as four and a half teaspoons in a six-ounce jar of baby-food "dessert."
Gerber's new ads will reportedly run in about twenty newspapers around the country, according to a company representative, including USA Today, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Boston Globe. The company is reportedly also considering television advertising.
Jacobson said: "Gerber seems to be fighting to the death to defend the production of adulterated foods. For decades, this company has cheated babies out of nutrients and cheated parents out of money. It has reaped tens of millions of dollars in windfall profits by selling parents modified starch, water, and sugar in place of real food.
"Gerber ought to cease and desist this disgraceful corporate conduct, not defend it.
"Parents should send Gerber a strong vote of no confidence by buying more wholesome products made by several of its competitors, including Beech-Nut, Earth's Best, and Growing Healthy."
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is a nonprofit health-advocacy organization specializing in food and nutrition issues. CSPI is well-known for obtaining nutrition labeling on all packaged foods and for studying the nutritional quality of restaurant foods. The Center accepts no government or corporate funding; it is funded largely by the 900,000 subscribers to its Nutrition Action Healthletter.
Journalists may obtain more background on the baby-food issue, including a summary of CSPI's FTC petition, by calling Art Silverman at 202-332-9110, ext.370.

This question already has an answer here:
- "Congratulation" vs. "congratulations" 2 answers
What is the difference between congratulation and congratulations?
This question already has an answer here:
What is the difference between congratulation and congratulations?
marked as duplicate by Hellion, David M, FumbleFingers, RyeɃreḁd, phenry Apr 9 '14 at 15:59
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
From NOAD:
You make the call.
It is difficult to articulate the difference between them.
When you are speaking about the act of praise, a single act of praise is a congratulation, multiple is -s. You can almost always use the plural form and sound perfectly normal.
When you wish to praise someone:
I congratulate you. (much more formal, can easily sound distant or impersonal)
You have my congratulations. Shortened: Congratulations! or Congratulations on your wedding! (always plural in shortened forms seemingly expressing multiple praises, explanation for what the congratulation is for only necessary when it isn't clear)
The difference is very subtle :
The word comes from Latin congratulatio, with exactly the same meaning.
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?


text: According to US Weekly, Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are engaged! Although the couple has not yet confirmed the engagement, they are seen being quit cozy in pictures taken by Robert's friend and photographer Tyler Shields. Shields congratulated them exclusively on twitter on their engagement, while promoting their intimate photo session. How informal! Roberts 22, and Peters 26 met in Spring of 2012 and have had many ups and downs including an arrest. Roberts was arrested last summer (2013) for domestic violence against Peters, but was released..How sweet, he didn't press charges; Instead he charged his card for an engagement ring and proposed over the holidays in NYC! Will the young couple make it? I sure hope so..

This is the ninth article in the project, 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.
Severo Alanis is a maternal great-grandfather. He was born Feb. 1, 1868 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico. His parents were Jose Juan Nepomuceno Alanis and Maria Ignacia Pena. Severo was baptized March 17, 1868 at Inmaculada Concepcion Catholic Church in Mier. Severo had seven siblings.
Severo moved to Texas sometime between 1868 and 1872. The 1900 U.S. Census lists his arrival in Texas as 1868 when he was an infant. However, the 1880 census is the first to list the Alanis family. They were living in Duval County, Texas and Severo was 12 years old and is listed as a student attending school. The census lists Severo's younger sister, Lucrecia, as being born in Texas around 1872, which means the family was living in Texas at that time.
Severo married Elena Arredondo Feb. 8, 1889 in Duval County, Texas. They were married by Father J. P. Bard, a Roman Catholic priest. He and Elena had 10 children between 1890 and 1911.
Severo's occupation in the 1900 census is listed as general merchant. His occupation is laborer on the 1910 census, a stock rancher on the 1920 census, and a farmer on the 1930 census when he was in his early 60s.
While Severo spent the majority of his life ranching and farming in Texas, he was descended from Spaniards who served in the military in the 17th century. His ancestors include Capitan Diego Gonzalez, born 1670 in Mexico, who was the son of Sargento Mayor Diego Gonzalez, who was the son of Capitan Bartolome Gonzalez, who was born in Sevilla, Spain.
It is interesting to note that Severo spelled his last name Alanis ending in an "s" on his marriage license. His ancestors also spelled their surname Alanis and some early documents use "de Alanis." It is listed as Alanis until the 1930 census but at the time of his death in 1938, Severo's death certificate lists the surname as Alaniz. His children also used the spelling Alaniz.
Severo is listed as living in Duval County from time he first appears on the 1880 census until his death Aug. 16, 1938. The cause of death listed on the death certificate is chronic endocarditis, an inflammation of the inside lining of the heart chambers and heart valves. Severo was buried at the Alanis family ranch in Trevino, Texas, in Duval County.
Severo's wife, Elena Arredondo, died Jan. 30, 1948 in San Diego, Texas, in Duval County. She is also buried at the family ranch.

ISLAMORADA, Fla. (AP) -- Marine mammal experts have released the first of three recovered manatees back into the wild after two were treated for lacerations caused by boat propellers in two different Florida locations.
Jasmine -- named for the street adjacent to a canal in a Florida Keys neighborhood where she was captured in mid-March -- was transported from the Miami Seaquarium after treatment.
Officials from the Keys-based Dolphin Research Center and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission helped to facilitate Jasmine's capture and Tuesday's release.
A mother and calf recovered from a Palm Bay waterway in May were being transported back to Palm Bay Tuesday, as well.
The mother was struck by a boat, and while the calf was not injured, an FWC official says it accompanies the parent to ensure its survival.

SEATTLE — The former head of a campaign committee supporting Democratic state Senate candidates has been charged with theft after prosecutors said he admitted embezzling up to $300,000 to feed his drinking and gambling habits.
Michael King, 32, faces eight counts of theft in King County Superior Court. Charging papers filed Tuesday say he confessed to stealing $200,000 to $300,000.
"I did these things and I have to accept consequences and I do," King said during a recorded interview with a prosecutor, according to a probable cause statement filed in the case.
King, who had been respected in political circles for his acumen, headed the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, which fielded donations from political action committees, companies and individuals and directed them to Democratic senators and candidates.
The financial irregularities came to light after a review discovered that King had appeared to have spent significant sums on polling after last fall's election, when there was no reason to conduct polling, Seattle police said.
His bank account showed dozens of withdrawals made at Goldie's casino in Shoreline, the Tulalip Casino in Marysville and the Silver Dollar Casino in SeaTac, a detective wrote in the probable cause statement.
King's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment. His arraignment has been set for Oct. 7.
The co-chairs of the committee, Sens. David Frockt, Ed Murray and Sharon Nelson, issued a statement saying the thefts began in 2011 and accelerated in February 2012, when King was given the authority to write checks himself rather than request reimbursements through Argo Strategies, which served as the committee's treasurer.
Blame squarely lies with King, the senators said, but added: "We acknowledge responsibility for a system of controls that were not sufficient when there was a trusted employee determined to exploit any gaps that, in hindsight, existed."
They said they have adopted new rules to ensure greater oversight for campaign donations. Among them, the committee's executive director will no longer be able to obtain independent check-writing authority. The chairs also said they are monitoring and reviewing the financial books monthly.

Courtesy of Earl Hazell
PHOENIX, Ariz. — In the summer of 2007, two up-and-coming opera singers, one a bass, the other a mezzo-soprano, decided at the last minute to participate in the Utah Festival Opera in Logan, Utah.
The bass, Earl Hazell, was in the middle of an easy gig and felt the desire to challenge his career. Alexis Davis, the mezzo-soprano, was in school and decided to take the advice of a friend who pulled some strings to get her involved in the Logan opera extravaganza.
Neither had any idea they would be meeting their future spouse.
Earl noticed Alexis the first day, he said. The group of about 300 performers all met in the main auditorium and everyone gave a brief introduction. Alexis happened to be sitting in the row behind Earl. When she stood up to introduce herself she was giggling and laughing with the women next to her. As she began to explain her background, Earl said he noticed three things right away: She was fun. She was smart. And she was kind of cute.
Alexis said she first noticed Earl when he was practicing for his understudy role in one of the performances. She said he "put it on" and she was very impressed.
Then, one night, Alexis came home from rehearsal exhausted and fell asleep on the couch. She woke up to hear some of her friends outside talking, and she recognized one of the voices was Earl's. She said she all of a sudden had a strong urge to get up and "get a drink of water." She ended up staying to watch a movie — not because she wanted to watch the movie, she said, but because she wanted to spend some time with this intriguing new man.
"After that I followed her around like a puppy," Earl said. "And since I wouldn't leave her side, she had to date me."
Earl and Alexis then began dating, but as the summer was winding to a close, Alexis started wondering if this was just a temporary fling or the real deal. She asked Earl if he could give her some kind of token, a physical reminder of their commitment to each other.
"He kept being wishy-washy," Alexis said, "somehow making me not feel bad, but putting me off."
Then during the intermission of one of her shows, Earl called Alexis out of the dressing room. When he pulled out a box for her she said she immediately started crying. He gave her a sapphire promise ring that she gratefully accepted before she ran back to the dressing room to redo her makeup and get back out to her performance.
The couple continued long distance for the next two years.
"We ran up the phone bills," Alexis said. "It was terrible."
Earl toured a lot, but moved his home base to Phoenix, Ariz., where Alexis is currently working on her Ph.D. in music at Arizona State University. Later, Earl got Alexis on his same touring company and they were able to travel together.
Then, Earl proposed at the Olive Garden.
"It's my fault," Alexis admitted, in reference to Earl's choice of a proposal spot. "I had a coupon."
Alexis said she could tell Earl was "cooking up something" but didn't know what it was, so when he suggested they go out to eat she insisted on the economical choice.
"I called all her friends and told them what was happening," Earl said. "The only person who didn't know was her."
But she said yes, and on July 3, 2009 their wedding was something, Earl said, their friends still talk about to this day.
"It was more like a musical production with a wedding in the middle," said Alexis, whose full name is now Alexis Davis Hazell.

An eccentric pub landlord has been selected to star in a new comedy sketch show to be aired on mainstream television starting this spring.
Anthony Youel, who runs The Monkey in Thurgoland, will appear in Boom Town on BBC3.
The 30-minute show features people from all over the country, who have never met, and brings them together in Boom Town, a fictional community which is portrayed to be authentic.
Art enthusiast Anthony said he had filmed a TV show but was unable to go into details of his contract.
"I'm very excited about the new venture with TV," he said. "I'm trying to put Thurgoland on the map."
The programme will show Anthony inside his pub and with some of the numerous pieces of artwork he has created.
His works feature many everyday objects, such as chairs and wardrobes, as well as mannequins, toilets and televisions.
Lets hope this brings more much needed business to one of our remaining country pubs.
never tell anyone from the press anything in confidence !!..can't have it both ways --all publicity is good publicity ..unlikely knickerbocker tv will see it ..
what a nutter who in their right mind would visit this pub
at last !!! a gem in a ocean of mediocrity , fantastic, macabre
This 'friendly landlord' is a dangerous man from what I have experienced
I just watched the first show of the series and it was like the curate's egg. It was good in parts. The best part was that small piece by our own eccentric landlord Anthony Youel. His single piece was clever, well presented and typical of Anthony's of the wall humour. Well done Anthony, I hope to see more of you in the rest of the series and less of the others.

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space. Recall that a bounded operator $A : H \to H$ is said to be Hilbert-Schmidt if $$\|A\|_{HS}^2 := \sum_{i=1}^\infty \|A e_i\|^2 < \infty$$ where $\{e_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ is an orthonormal basis for $H$. (The value of $\|A\|_{HS}$ does not depend on the basis chosen.)
Suppose that $A$ is Hilbert-Schmidt, and let $\{P_n\}$ be a sequence of finite-rank orthogonal projection operators on $H$, such that $P_n \to I$ strongly (i.e. $P_n x \to x$ for every $x \in H$). Does $P_n A P_n \to A$ in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm $\|\cdot\|_{HS}$?
I can prove this under the additional assumption that $\{P_n\}$ is increasing, i.e. $P_n H \subset P_{n+1} H$. In this case, we may choose an orthonormal basis $\{e_i\}$ for $H$ such that for each $n$, $e_1, \dots, e_{d_n}$ is an orthonormal basis for $P_n H$, where $d_n$ is the rank of $P_n$. Then $P_n e_i$ = $e_i$ for $i \le d_n$, and $P_n e_i = 0$ otherwise, so we can write $$\|P_n A P_n - A\|_{HS}^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{d_n} \|(P_n - I) A e_i\|^2 + \sum_{i=d_n+1}^\infty \|A e_i\|^2.$$ As $n \to \infty$, $d_n \to \infty$, and the second term goes to 0 because it is the tail of the convergent series $\sum \|A e_i\|^2 = \|A\|_{HS}^2$. For the first term, we have $$\|(P_n - I) A e_i\| \le \|P_n - I\| \|A e_i\| \le 2 \|A e_i\|$$ which is a square-summable sequence because $A$ is Hilbert-Schmidt. And for each $i$ we have $\|(P_n - I) A e_i\| \to 0$ since $P_n \to I$ strongly. So by the dominated convergence theorem, we conclude the first term also goes to 0.
However, without this assumption, $P_n e_i$ is harder to deal with, and I don't see how to craft a proof (nor a counterexample).
If it helps, I'm most interested in the case where $A$ is skew-adjoint, i.e. $A^* = -A$.
I'd also be interested to know if this statement still holds if we drop the assumption that $P_n$ are orthogonal projections, and only assume that they are finite rank and converge strongly to $I$.

Fourth Turnings always involve brutal decisive wars that decide what will happen in the next 80 year cycle. Do you hear those drumbeats?
29 thoughts on "DRUMBEATS OF WAR"
Ukrainian videos of the Russian takeover of Crimea are eerie. The amount of firepower they brought to that power was clearly meant to deter the west from any overt actions.
Similar videos of the buildup of Russia forces at the E. Ukraine border show the truth – Putin will take Ukraine. The west will do nothing.
Putin will take back former Soviet Bloc countries one by one until things finally boil over.
I heard somewhere Russia is demanding payment in gold. So we give Ukraine the paper to buy the physical and Russia gets the wealth.
Someone explain why Ukraine gave us their gold for safe keeping? No matter the answer it appears Russia wins.
I do believe the Russian people would have the will to fight, as I don't think many will volunteer in the USSA. They will have to use force to get American kids to join.
That has to be an eerie sound with all those rockets going off. And when it comes to battle rifles, the Russians win there.
Russia wants a buffer zone between NATO and mother Russia. Call it their "Monroe Doctrine" or whatever, Ukraine will not be a NATO member any time soon.
Those bigger jets in that last video are arranged in the shape of the Russian cross:
Yes, threaten people and maybe start a war,to take peoples mind off whats going on at home.
Its a matter of who's bullshit you believe. Our media/state department makes me almost side with Putin.
@Hope, that's the iron cross you posted. This is the Russian (orthodox) cross:
Concerning the Russian Orthodox Cross:
The top bar signifies the sign that was placed above Christ's head, reading, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." In Orthodox iconography the phrase "King of Glory" is often written on this bar instead.
The center bar is that upon which Christ's arms were stretched and nailed.
The bottom bar signifies the footrest which supported His body.
I learn so much here.
Thanks for the history additions Stuck, and Rise Up. I'm currently reading the "forbidden" gospels – or the translations of the remnants, to be more exact. Interesting, to say the least.
Thanks again!
@Rise Up: Ooops, my bad, thanks for the correction. Gotta get my religious symbols straight!
That's right, Stucky, Jesus was crucified on a tree.
NATO was in Georgia, Republic of, not too recently. I suppose Putin senses weakness in the West over the Global Sovereign Debt Crisis, and perhaps rightly so.
The problem with men mad with power hungry global ambitions, they tend to be ruthless and often quite brilliant. Alexander, Charlemagne, Genghis Kahn, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung.
Yes, the 20th century is replete with the most extreme examples of totalitarianism leading to the worst democracide. Let's not leave out the Khmer Rouge, although technically they and North Korea are extensions of the Chinese police state.
I don't know how these rulers fit into 4th turnings, but suffice it to say it's not impossible to imagine we could find ourselves embroiled in a third world war, fighting for the future of our species.
Let's not leave out the US, the greatest war machine the world has ever known, and an oligarchy state as ruthless as any ever known, willing to go to any length to preserve their global hegemony which requires all states to submit to the rule of the dollar, or it's successor, of which they won't control. Their very survival is at stake, at least from their perspective.
There's nothing less than the control of the world, the cosmos, and the future of our species at stake. It remains to be seen whether the East or the West is stronger, but I think the edge goes to the West. The prize is still Iran, and Russia's display of force is merely drum beating, and rather futile in effort, for what does it gain him, except symbolically, which is why he needs for this to be demonstrated to him.
It will be interesting to see what tricks these ponies will resort to. I think I'll go pop some popcorn.
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
(Psalm 23 ESV)
Amen and amen.
@TE, there are many English translations of the Nag Hammadi texts. John Lash has a book called "Not in His Image" that is an interesting interpretation. Happy reading!
Z – by 1968, the North Vietnamese almost entirely refused to engage US fighters. They had success earlier owing to the US fighters not having cannon, but that was fixed by 68. The majority of US planes lost in Vietnam overall were a result of artillery fire. The mig21 was a better fighter, it seems, but US pilots were far better trained with better air to air capability.
The cross was used by the romans to crucify, you basically suffocated because you couldnt keep your head up. It wasnt a christian symbol until he was nailed to it
The sign of the fish, icthus, or pisces was astronomical

Every culture has their myths, legends and heroes. I'm not talking about manga or fantasy based heroes but actual Japanese heroes. These heroes probably aren't like saviors of mass problems but they became legendary as warriors. Two of the most famous names in Japanese history were Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro. These two were renowned warriors at the time and paved their names in their own right. The most famous event that tied these two was their duel at the island of Funashima. Let's get to know these two before we get to that part even further.
Miyamoto Musashi also going by the names of Shinmen Takezo, Miyamoto Bennusuke or Niten Doraku was born in Harima Province sometime in 1584. His name Miyamoto Musashi is derived from Miyamoto village where he was probably born and Musashi came from a monk named Musashibo Benkei. Musashi learned the ways of the sword under the guidance of his father at a very young age. Sometime around the age of 15 he left their house to travel Japan and hone his sword skills. He had numerous duels and encounters against strong warriors. It was in 1614 that Musashi pledged allegiance to the Tokugawa family where he then became one of their most loyal retainers.
In 1645 Musashi died with a cancer disease and wasn't killed in action. One of his teachings was the Niten'ichi where he used two swords for fighting but regularly used one during his duels. We now take a look at Sasaki Kojiro who was presumably born in 1585 at the Fukui Prefecture. He also went under the name Garyu Kojiro which was sort of like his fighting name. His past and childhood are still unclear but he did learn wielding a sword at a very young age making him very skilled with a Nodachi. The Nodachi is a katana with a very long measurement compared to regular katanas. Despite his young age he became famous and renowned especially with one of his techniques called the Tsubame Gaeshi. The technique involved using 3 quick sword strikes imitating that of a swallow's movement hence the English translation "Turning Swallow Cut".
In 1612 was the fated duel between these 2 warriors. They had agreed to hold the duel at Funashima Island where one of them would eventually die. Musashi arrived hours late where some concluded that it was part of his strategy. The duel lasted in a short while as Musashi dealt a finishing blow to Kojiro at a point where he was blinded by the sun. There are several versions of the duel but one fact remains that Musashi had won it and Kojiro had died. These two are so famous that their names appear together most of the time in the forms of other Japanese media but that's another story.

Kenan Fountain receives an upgrade with better lighting
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Wilmington's Kenan Memorial Fountain, which was damaged after a vehicle plowed into it last August, has now been repaired and has better lighting.
The accident prompted Councilman Neil Anderson to ask officials to study how the fountain could be better safeguarded from wayward vehicles.
The fountain has been struck by a vehicle at least seven times since 2001, according to records from the Wilmington Police Department.
After Anderson's request, city staff prepared a range of options, from moving the fountain from the intersection of Market Street and Fifth Avenue to creating a one-lane roundabout circling the fountain.
But all city council members were against moving the iconic fountain, and in November, the council authorized lighting improvements around the fountain. Existing lights were replaced with brighter LED lights, which are also more energy efficient.
The upgraded lighting, which cost $8,300, was installed this week, said city spokeswoman Malissa Talbert.
In December, crews completed repairs to the fountain because of structural damages it sustained in the accident. The replacement stone had to be re-carved by hand, according to the city. Those repairs cost $73,875.
It is unclear if the driver's insurance company will pay all or part of that cost. At the time, police charged the driver, who listed his address in Winston-Salem, with driving while impaired.
"We're still working with the insurance company and that hasn't been finalized," Talbert said.
After the accident, the water in the fountain also was shut off. Talbert said the water will remain off through mid-March to protect the pipes from freezing.

College Hockey:Union Tops RPI
Power Play Keys Win
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — The Zamboni broke down after the first period. The clock failed to stop two times in the final seconds of the game. There was plenty of feistiness, and lots of penalties.
It was just another crazy game between the Union and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute hockey teams.
"It was pretty wild," Union coach Nate Leaman said. "That's RPI-Union. I guess, as a coach sometimes, you come in expecting it."
In the end, it was the power play that decided the game. The Dutchmen went 2-for-6 on their man advantages, while the Engineers' continued their struggles, going 0-for-5. Thanks to second-period power-play goals by Stephane Boileau and Adam Presizniuk, Union came away with a 2-1 ECAC Hockey win at Messa Rink.
The two teams meet again tonight at 7 p.m. at Houston Field House.
The Dutchmen (4-3-2 ECACH, 9-8-3 overall) needed two extra seconds to win their fifth straight. The clock failed to stop when Union was called for icing with 3.1 seconds left, the second time in a few seconds that occurred. However, 5.5 seconds was put back on the clock.
However, it didn't help the slumping Engineers (3-5-2, 8-13-3), who lost their eighth in a row.
Their power play, the worst in the nation, is now 7-for-116 (6 percent). The Engineers couldn't take advantage of a pair of two-man advantages.
"It was a typical RPI-Union game, a lot of emotion and a lot of energy," RPI coach Seth Appert said. "I thought their best players were better than our best players. Simple as that."
There were plenty of meetings between the players after the whistle. Twenty-one penalties were called in the game.
The strangest part of the night occurred during the first intermission. A T-shirt being tossed into the stands by a Union attendant sitting on the Zamboni hit the glass and landed on the ice. Zamboni drive Dennis Flavin couldn't stop the Zamboni in time, and the shirt got caught in the machine. The game was delayed 32 minutes as workers furiously labored to get the T-shirt out. The Zamboni returned to the ice at 8:21 p.m., 18 minutes after the first intermission was supposed to end. It finished resurfacing the ice at 8:29. The teams returned at 8:31 p.m., and were given a couple of minutes to warm up.
"I'm really disappointed about that," Union athletic director Jim McLaughlin said. "We try to create a good atmosphere for the entire environment. It was a promotion that went awry."
After a scoreless first period, in which Union outshot RPI, 16-9, Scott Halpern gave the Engineers a 1-0 lead at 10:42 of the second when he deposited a backhander past goalie Corey Milan.
"Scott made a great play," said goalie Jordan Alford, who made 41 saves. "He worked hard, and scored the goal. But there was a lot of game [left]."
Boileau got that one back 27 seconds later. He was to the left of the net when he one-timed a Jason Walters pass past Alford.
"Right now, the power play is good for us," Boileau said. "We've had a lot of good scoring chances. That makes a difference."
Presizniuk snapped the tie at 14:37. Taking a pass from Josh Coyle behind the goal line, Presizniuk had his first shot stopped by Alford. The rebound came back to Presizniuk, and with no one checking him, he put it in over Alford's right shoulder.
"I got the first shot off, and then it came right back to me," Presizniuk said. "I got it up the second time. I was surprised I had quite a bit of time there."

LEBURN, Ky. (AP) -- Sen. Rand Paul says Matt Bevin's credibility has been hurt by revelations that the Republican challenger to Sen. Mitch McConnell praised the federal bailout of struggling banks several years ago.
Bevin has criticized McConnell for supporting the $700 billion bailout, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
But as president of Veracity Funds, Bevin signed a report to investors praising the bailout.
Paul told reporters Monday that a lack of consistency can be harmful and said that applies to Bevin.
Paul rose to national prominence as a tea party darling. He declined to say how much the revelation damaged Bevin's upset bid against McConnell.
Bevin's campaign has said he has always opposed TARP and that his signature on the report was a formality.
Bevin has drawn support from some conservative groups, including some tea party supporters.

Try not to be too obvious, please, Stefan. That's our first thought when it comes to the sneak peek the CW released on Tuesday, April 29, from this week's episode of "The Vampire Diaries," "What Lies Beneath."
In case you forgot the big secret, Stefan and Enzo faced off in the last episode, "Man on Fire," after Enzo flipped off his humanity switch upon learning it was the other Salvatore brother – you know, his murder buddy, his only friend – who killed Maggie on election night in 1960 and kidnapped Elena. While Damon brought Elena back safely to her dorm room, Stefan and Enzo's fight ended with the latter pulling out his own heart using Stefan's hand – and leaving the other vampire to figure out what to tell Damon.
Well, he didn't tell him anything. Instead, he let Damon believe his friend had skipped town, and now he and Elena have this secret they have to keep, all while the three, plus Caroline, will be chilling out in a cabin in the woods in this week's episode. The thing is, Enzo stuck around, and he wants revenge, so is he the "ghostly presence" using violence and fire in the cabin? (The answer is likely yes, but with this show and what's happening to the Other Side, anything is possible.)
Now, in the "What Lies Beneath" sneak peek, Damon has turned to Luke to locate his "missing" friend (the lack of "a body count all the way to the airport" is suspicious) – and he doesn't see anything wrong with his reaction to the "Wonder Twin's" progress. "Damon, I know you're out a friend, but I'm not sure this guy's the best replacement," Stefan comments. "I don't think this guy's the best anything," his brother says, but he's stuck with him since Liv is "tired of being almost murdered."
Luke blames "something weird" with Enzo for why he can't find him, and when Stefan finds out why he has Luke there, he starts with the questions and latches onto the possibility of a witch's cloaking spell. "Why don't you just drop it?" Stefan suggests, but how long is he going to be able to keep Enzo's death a secret? We're guessing the answer isn't "longer than this episode."
"The Vampire Diaries" season 5 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on the CW. What do you think of this episode 20 "What Lies Beneath" clip?

College Hockey:Stafford Signs With Buffalo
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier today announced that the team has signed North Dakota junior Drew Stafford to a three-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Stafford is currently on the United States roster and playing in the World Hockey Championships in Riga, Latvia.
"I'm looking forward to starting my professional career," Stafford told the Grand Forks Herald.
Stafford is the third member of the Fighting Sioux to give up eligibility, as Travis Zajac and Matt Smaby did so in April.
Stafford was the first pick of Buffalo, 13th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
