Linux snickers at Microsoft's victory declaration | ZDNet
Linux snickers at Microsoft's victory declaration | ZDNet.
just a few reasons why open source is going to rape the corpse of corporate borg software environments
and in 20 years when the population of programmers has increased by overall percentage….
fucking write my own .dlls microsoft, when you have 2-3x as many people doing this, what you gonna do then bitch?
and that goes for all the big corporate software developers
let this be a warning to you, the code will not be contained by petty men and petty minds – when an Chinese middle class gets a hold of our work in 20 years time, i mean really gets a hold of it …
and every day more people learn, they learn the true history of this planet and they learn to write various forms of code and it is all going to come to a head one day – and on that day, when your eyes go blind from terror at the thought of the fate you have sealed, both for yourselves and for others, oh you global elite, on that day, as your vision escapes you, the last thing you will see is my face staring back at you.
Linux snickers at Microsoft's victory declaration
Summary: Who is Microsoft fooling? Other than on the desktop, Linux is eating its lunch, and it's only going to get worse for Microsoft.
My compadre Ed Bott does a fine job of digging under the surface of Microsoft's annual report to find that Microsoft no longer considers Linux a serious threat. Who does Microsoft think they're kidding?
Sure, on the desktop, it's a Windows world, but guess what Sherlock; the desktop is declining in importance. The mobile, server, Web and cloud worlds are where the twenty-teens' billionaires will come from, not the desktop. And, guess, who's already in all those spaces large and in charge? Yes, that's right, Linux.
Let's start from the top on where Linux beats Microsoft.
The mobile computing world is a dog-fight between Apple iOS and Google's Linux-based Android. Windows Phone 7 is much of a non-player on smartphone as Linux is on the conventional PC desktop. While Apple owns the high-end of smartphones, Android is cleaning up everywhere else.
Until recently, you could argue that nobody, but nobody, really sold tablets except for Apple. That argument doesn't hold water any more. Android now has 20% of the tablet market. I wonder, I really do, if that's why Apple launched its legal attack on the Samsung Galaxy Tab's design in Europe, Is Apple that insecure? Maybe.
Until the last few days, you might also have been concerned about how Google could fight off the endless legal challenges to Android. You need worry no more about that. Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility has given Google all the ammo it needs to win in the mobile patent wars.
Of course, it's always possible that another mobile operating system will win out. Like say HP's webOS, which is, ah, Linux based. Or, there's Intel MeeGo, which is, wow, what do you know, Linux based. You get the picture. One way or the other, tomorrow's mobile operating systems are likely to be Linux operating systems.
Servers and the Web
There are a lot of Windows Servers instances humming away in offices. It's hard to say exactly how many Linux servers are out there since you don't need to buy a Linux server, you can download one, or a hundred and one, for free. Sure, Red Hat, which primarily makes its money from its server offering, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), is well on its way to being the first billion dollar open-source company, but there are probably far more CentOS, openSUSE, Debian, etc, Linux servers quietly and invisibly running. We just don't know. What we can count though are Web servers.
According to Netcraft, Microsoft has only 15.86% of the Web server market in August 2011. Apache leads the pack with 65.18%. In third place, you'll find ngnix with 6.54% and Google takes last place with 4.38%. And what operating system are you most likely to find Apache, ngnix, and Google running on? Yes, you're right in one, it's Linux.
It's not just Web servers though. Supercomputers, the fastest of the fast, run Linux almost exclusively. Cutting edge computing platforms like IBM's Jeopardy champ Watson? Linux again. It's not just computing engineers that turn to Linux though. The world's major stock exchanges also run Linux. Once you're away from the desktop, you're living in a Linux world.
The Cloud
I was privileged to speak recently at a small cloud conference in my hometown of Asheville, NC. Two things surprised me there. First, how many new businesses were already actively using the cloud's scalability to create new business models and, second, how everyone was using Linux on their cloud businesses.
I shouldn't have been surprised. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), the most popular of the public clouds, doesn't report on what operating system images people use on it, but The Cloud Market, does scan Amazon EC2 for operating system and other information. According to The Cloud Market's numbers, as of August 15th 2011, Ubuntu Linux had 38.4% of all images; that was followed by generic Linux with 31.5% and then Windows with 13.5%. After Windows, there were numerous other Linux variants. Adding it all up and we're left pretty much with Linux was being used by 86.1% of all cloud users.
So, victory over Linux Microsoft? I think not.
Indeed, even on the desktop, as we turn more and more to using Web browsers for everything, I see Linux winning out in the long run. You've had a great run Microsoft, and you'll still be a power for the rest of this decade, but victory? No, you're just sliding into a long decline and, at the end of it, Linux will still be behind the scenes running everyone's back-room services, their tablets, their phones, and, yes, even their Web browser-based PCs ala Google Chrome OS with Linux-powered clouds keeping it all going.

Desert Isle Keeper Review
Lord of the Storm
(This DIK review was written by a reader)
Justine Davis
1994, Futuristic Romance
Topaz, $5.99, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 0451404904Part of a series
The story takes place in a futuristic world in which an intergalactic Coalition rules with an iron fist over all of the planets and inhabitants. Shaylah Graymist is a fighter pilot for the Coalition, albeit a slightly reluctant one, who loves to fly but disapproves of the Coalitions brutal tactics for subduing unwilling populations. As a reward for her heroism, she is given a slave named Wolf, who wears a gold collar, indicating that he can be programmed by a controller to perform sexually for his master. In this society, Shaylah is considered a prude because she believes in the old fashioned" idea of bonding, or mating for life, and decries the sexual slave practices of her friends. She refuses to use the controller to force Wolf to make love to her. Instead, she and Wolf develop a strange friendship and she discovers that he is one of the last survivors of a paradise named Trios. While Wolf is drawn to Shaylah, he can never forget that he is a slave and that his world and family have been destroyed by the forces that she allies herself with.
Shaylah is called back to battle, and Wolf, no longer willing to accept his fate as a slave, becomes uncontrollable, and is sold to a penal colony. Shaylah has to rescue him, and then they set off together to see what is left of his home planet.
What woman could resist her own love slave who also happens to be a fallen warrior? They dont make heroes any hunkier than Wolf. He has to learn to trust that the attraction he feels for Shaylah is real, not a product of her using the controller to influence his emotions and behavior. Shaylah is a fabulous heroine as well, as she finds redemption for her actions as a Coalition pilot by performing a daring act of bravery to save Trios. Together the two create so many sparks that its a wonder the book doesnt set itself on fire while youre reading it.
Justine Davis has created a believable futuristic world that completes the experience. The inhabitants of the different planets are just distinct enough to be interesting, but with enough human characteristics to be familiar. I wanted to read more about this world, and fortunately Justine Davis wrote a sequel.

Plunge into Summer Sun Skincare
It's a desert out here in Vegas and the first thing to take a beating is your skin. Even if you're not lounging by our luxurious pool, the dry desert climate in the warmer months can affect your skin. Lucky for you we have someone to help. Melanie, an esthetician at our four-star awarded Spa Mio right here at the M shared with us some great tips and tricks to keep your complexion up-to-par.
Switch it up and moisturize
Switching up your routine is important since some people's skin can get more oily or dry in the warmer months. According to Melanie, regardless of your skin type your moisturizer should be switched to one that is lighter, but still hydrating. And if you don't use moisturizer? Well that's a big no-no (for guys too.) Our spa offers a wide array of products that will do the trick from Comfort Zone to Obagi.
Get yourself some gel
A gel mask is a great way to rehydrate the skin for any skin type. It feels great but also works to naturally stimulate the skin's cell-renewal leaving it appearing instantly smoother, shine-free and more radiant. Melanie, or any of our expert estheticians, would be happy to apply one during a service at Spa Mio.
Always wear sunscreen
We know you've heard this before but, the most important part of skincare is sunscreen. If you want to help fight wrinkles it's always important to incorporate SPF into your daily skincare routine.
For those of you who like do-it-yourself beauty, Melanie says using a face mask from avocados (yum) can rehydrate if you're prone to dry skin. If you have oily skin, pure Aloe can be used to do the same.

Very impressive.... Climb out at 3,000 feet per minute, fully loaded, quickly and efficiently reaching altitudes you may not have flown through before. Level off at a maximum authorized ceiling of 34,000 feet. Stretch as you relax in the spacious cockpit, surveying an instrument panel more reminiscent of a Lexus than an aircraft. The ergonomically–designed flight deck consolidates pilot workflow and data management, returning aviation to what it should be: intuitive, engaging and fun. With a range of over 1600 nautical miles carrying a payload of 1120 pounds fully-fueled, your destination options are endless, especially given Epic's superior slow-speed handling and short-field performance. Imagine the possibilities…
The turboprop engine makes it happen: The powerful 1200 HP Pratt & Whitney PT6-67A engine placed on the aerodynamic airframe of the E1000 delivers true 'jet-class' performance. The remarkable strength of carbon fiber composite technology allows for optimal speed and durability. The result: an airframe that seamlessly moves through the air, allowing the E1000 to travel at 325 KTAS— faster than any single-engine turboprop on the market – and rivaling the performance and speed of most VLJs.
Combining the best features: The passionate engineers at Epic are dedicated to revolutionizing the way we fly. From the drawing board to the production floor, Epic continues to refine the rules of modern aviation, combining turbine power, composite technology, advanced avionics and first-class luxury, packaged in a sleek and elegant airframe. No other aircraft in its class fully optimizes the benefits of carbon fiber: stronger, lighter material, requiring fewer parts with a streamlined, efficient production process translates into a lower purchase price and lower cost of ownership for customers. That's innovation you can bank on!
Extremely elegant design: Sleek and statuesque, the Epic stands tall, accentuating her clean, elegant, and graceful lines. The visionary designers who devised her industry-leading speed and performance have also elevated the standard in cabin-class sophistication and ramp appeal. Stepping inside, you appreciate the generous headroom and sense of spaciousness. The overstuffed leather seats allow you to enjoy the exaggerated legroom and luxury amenities, including wood accents, custom cabinetry, drink holders, headset jacks, USB power-ports, air vents and reading lights. Once airborne, the technologically-advanced sound proofing makes the cabin whisper quiet. Epic – putting first-class back into cabin-class.
Some of of the features the manufacturers points out:
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Visually Attractive
- Fewer Parts Count
- Improved Aerodynamics
- Better Fatigue Life
- Superior Wear Resistance
- Better Acoustics
- Corrosion Resistant
- Improved Insulating Properties
In contrast to some conventional designs, Epic uses advanced carbon fiber composite material in the construction of its entire E1000 airframe. The superior strength-to-weight ratio and ability to mold complex curves and shapes make composites ideal for producing aerodynamic forms, such as sports cars, boats, and aircraft, including the industry's fastest single-engine turboprop, the Epic E1000.
Unusual design features of the E1000:
- Trailing link landing gear, typically found on jets and large piston twins, allows for a lower aircraft stance and provides more latitude in the case of hard landings or rough runway situations.
- The Parker (Cleveland Wheels and Brakes) piston-actuated, hydraulic-operated single disc brakes allow for smoother slowing and superior stopping ability, as well as easier ground handling while taxiing.
- The nose gear utilizes a straight nose oleo strut that provides ample shock absorption and superior steering, making tight turns on crowded ramps a breeze.
- The control system combines cable, bell crank and push-pull rod systems, ensuring a positive, stable, controlled aircraft with smooth inputs throughout the flight envelope.
- The Enviro-systems® pressurization and Kollsman® out flow solutions are industry-leading, technologically-advanced environmental systems for cabin-class aircraft. In addition, the E1000 offers a fully-functional, ground-operable air conditioning system.
Cockpit of the future? The ergonomically designed all-glass cockpit includes the latest in advanced avionics, providing state-of-the-art situational awareness that rivals equipment found on larger corporate jets. Custom avionics, including the latest in synthetic vision displays, GPS and integrated auto-pilots, are all incorporated into the Epic E1000. Vital traffic, weather, terrain and engine monitoring systems come standard:
- 3-Screen Garmin G950, Synthetic Vision, Engine & Airframe Interface, Weather Traffic ADSB
- Garmin GTS 825 Traffic Avoidance System (TAS)
- STEC 2100 Autopilot
- Digital Backup Instruments (MD302 Standby Attitude Module)
- XM Weather (first-year subscription included)
- Jeppesen Unlock Card
- Optional Radar, Iridium GSR56 Transceiver, GRA 5500 Radar Altimeter

Dear Bossip: Me & My Boyfriend Are Expecting, But My Ex Is In The Picture And I Want Him Back
Dear Bossip,
I need help. I met this guy maybe a two and a half years ago and fell deeply for him.
We did everything together, and everything was going great until we broke up some time last year after I found out about him still seeing his baby mama. Now, from the beginning I knew of her and their past, and I had no problem with being second to his children. But, I refuse to be second to some woman, so I left. But, now after some time apart, I still think of him almost every day and I'm still madly in love with him. I tried my best to avoid any contact with him because he hurt me. But, after some time apart I began to date a new guy and I'm not happy and want out, however, I found out that I'm currently pregnant. Now, here is where my problems come in, my ex keeps popping up in my life and I kind of wanna see if now we can make things work. What should I do? Confused Heart
Dear Ms. Confused Heart,
Woman, please have some dignity about yourself and stop man hopping! Jeez! I don't understand you people and bouncing from man to man, and woman to woman. You're bed hopping, having unprotected sex, and then y'all wonder why all these infectious diseases are rampant, along with the high pregnancy rates and single mothers raising children ALONE! You have no self-respect or dignity for your body or selves. Just laying there and letting every TOM, DICK, and HARRY lay on top of you and do his business. (Nut rags!)
Ma'am, you're currently pregnant with your boyfriend's child, but you want to reconnect with an ex that you broke up with because he was still sleeping with his baby momma. Sigh! Do you really want me to answer this? Do you really want to go there on this Fourth of July? Even on this Independence Day some of you don't understand freedom, and celebrating new beginnings. You are determined to repeat your pasts, and stay bound to them all for some d**k! Just d**k-ma-tized tramps!
If you broke up with him because he was still sleeping with his baby momma, and in your own words you said, "I refuse to be second to some woman." Then why would you return to a situation where his baby momma is, and will always be in the picture, aaaannnnnnnddddd, I can guarantee you that he is still sleeping with her! Are you that brain dead?
You see people, this is how your brain operates when it's addicted to d**k, and you have no common sense, and, hell, you have no educational sense. Your coochie is connected to your heart, and your heart is connected to your brain. And, when you get some relatively good d**k, notice I said 'relatively,' then your brain goes haywire and you start doing and saying some stupid and dumb a** bull-ish and repeating old habits that you walked away from.
Chile, you really want to play yourself. You really want the world to see just how dumb and retarded you are. You're pregnant with another man's baby, but want to reconnect with an ex? SMDH! Does your current boyfriend know that you are not happy and that you want out? Does your current boyfriend have any idea that while you were laying up with him having unprotected sex that you were miserable, and just wanted him for his seed? Because I don't know any reasonable and intelligent woman who will continue sleeping with a man she doesn't want to be with and is unhappy with, not unless she wants a baby and doesn't mind taking his seeds only for the purposes of becoming pregnant. Now, what do they call those types of women? (I'm sure you can figure it out).
I'm getting ready for a bar-b-que, so, therefore I'm going to tell you like this: Do not reconnect with your ex. It's a reason he is an ex. You will only end up repeating the same drama you did with him before. It's not worth it. Stop letting your coochie speak for your brain! His baby momma is not going anywhere. She will always, do you hear me, ALWAYS be in the picture. You will always, do you hear me, ALWAYS be the second woman. Nothing has changed. Why don't you focus on your unborn child. Why don't you focus on you and remaining healthy for your own sanity. Besides, you need to sit down with your boyfriend and talk with him, and if you're going to end it, then end it. Stop playing with his emotions. He is invested in you and hopefully his child. But, perhaps if you communicate with him what you're unhappy about, and maybe he will be willing to work on the relationship, and the two of you staying together as a family unit to raise the child. Yet, why do I know that you are not going to do that. You've already moved on, and pinning for your ex. So, uhm, yeah, good luck with that you second rate bird. – Terrance Dean

True self, false self: The role of popular media in subjugating women of color
By Jennifer Durham-Fowler
Subversion of the woman's voice to conform to the values, institutional practices, and aspirations of society has been explored through a psychodynamic lens by a variety of authors (Charles 2011, Belenky, Klinchy, Goldberg, & Tarule, 1986; Jandeska and Kraimer, 2005). I would like to continue this exploration within the context of popular media's perpetuation of such subversion with respect to the oppressed female in general, and the Black woman in particular. Being pushed to sing the songs of the institutional choir rather than one's own takes on new dimensions when the melody not only distorts one's true voice but the lyrics literally devalue and demean one's personhood in a manner that maintains the oppressive state. In short, I would like to highlight how popular media fuels the Black woman's oppressive traverse between being silenced and having someone else's words put in her mouth.
An Exploration of Multiple Voices and Women of Color
This idea of having two competing voices or consciousnesses is not foreign to psychoanalysis. Winnicott introduced the notion of the true self and the false self. He stated "Other people's expectations can become of overriding importance, overlaying or contradicting the original sense of self, the one connected to the very roots of one's being" (Klein, 1994). Winnicott suggests that there is a danger of the authentic self being smothered and distorted by the false self, which is in alignment with societal norms (Winnicott, 1965). It becomes dangerous when such mores are more than just a burden that can leave one feeling inauthentic, but function as a mechanism to undermine a woman's attempts at equity and personhood as she faces oppressive structural barriers that have historically related to both gender and race.
Fanon describes Blacks as having dual consciousness (Fanon, 1967). The first is an original self that is hidden from society and perhaps even oneself. The second reflects the cultural and institutional norms of the dominant group, often at the expense of equity and self-actualization. I would suggest that the original consciousness is intimately aligned with pursuing equal status for the authentic self within the world. That it recognizes the difference between gaining status and equity by twisting the authentic self into a version that is compatible with societal norms, and gaining that equity as an authentic human being. Fanon argued that the existence of these two selves is rarely without stress and can result in a smothering or misrepresentation of a person's true being that facilitates inequity and subjugation.
The perspectives of both Winnicott and Fanon raise issues regarding the subversion of the woman's voice that may be unique to the experiences of women of color. While both theorists suggest a relationship between the two selves, in the case of women of color, this relationship mirrors society's oppressive structures. If her true voice is silent, and her false voice reflects and perpetuates an ideology that promotes her inferiority with respect to gender and race, then in essence she is perpetuating her own oppression. The first and authentic consciousness is silenced, and the second is a distortion that mimics the dominant group's self-serving interpretation of her.
The Role of Popular Media
Unfortunately evidence of these struggles are fueled by aspects of popular culture. Let us consider the popularity of the story by Stokkett, The Help. The novel, written by a white woman about the experiences of gender and racial oppression during the civil rights era in Mississippi, was on the New York Times bestseller list for 26 weeks. The story focused on the experiences of Black maids and their daily challenges with racism and oppression and went on to be made into a movie that grossed over 35 million dollars in its first five days. It is a sweet and poignant story, but unfortunately not an authentic one.
It is clear from the critiques of the novel by historians and anthropologists that the multidimensional experiences of Black female domestics were not portrayed in the story and therefore silenced (Sharpless, 2010; Tucker, 1988). I'm not quite sure if Miss Stokkett decided to write a book about the experiences of Black women from her own perspective without consulting historians or the women themselves, or if she did so and was unable to capture the painful dimensions of the phenomenon, but their true experiences were suppressed. Absent were the constant threats of sexual exploitation and rape and how many Black women had to choose between economic survival and placing themselves in this type of danger on a daily basis. Absent were the implications and ramifications of this situation on their love relationships with Black men. Also missing were the guilty feelings related to neglecting the needs of one's own children to take care of someone else's who may grow into your child's future oppressors. The authentic voices of the Black women were silenced.
However, when the movie was made, Black actresses said the words and portrayed the bastardized experiences as they were written for them. With no disrespect to these very talented women, it is here that the distortion of the true voice to conform to society's oppressive interpretations of the authentic self is illustrated. This is not to imply that Black women are unable to speak for and advocate for themselves, but to suggest that traversing between being silenced or parroting someone else's interpretation of you as satisfied and subjugated is a journey that is costly psychologically and may perpetuate an oppressive state.
This is illustrated in popular music also. Kelly Rowland, a member of the former Grammy award-winning group Destiny's Child, has often been overshadowed by the group's main singer Beyonce. Miss Rowland has recently had a number one single that was played exhaustively during the summer of 2011. Prior to this hit she had a somewhat unremarkable and some would argue failed solo career where her songs focused on the emergence of an independent girl next store. She collaborated on or wrote many of the lyrics. So what was so special about this song from summer 2011 that propelled her to number one? The independent woman/girl image was replaced by a hyper sex-charged subservient female. The song, entitled "Motivation," is about how a male partner should use Miss Rowland as motivation to climax. This infuses popular culture with misogynistic inferior and subservient images that threaten the personhood of Black women, which of course includes Miss Rowland herself. Inauthenticity takes on unique dimensions when the voices of women of color are either silenced or distorted to maintain oppressive states. Popular media can fuel this phenomenon through the production of books and media that silence or distort the voices of women of color.

College Hockey:Mullin scores in OT to lift Miami over Michigan State
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Miami freshman Jimmy Mullin became the overtime hero in the RedHawks' 2-1 win over Michigan State, but he did so when everyone else was trying to defend someone who didn't even appear on the score sheet — Reilly Smith, the Miami junior with 12 goals to his credit this season, who'd been thwarted half a dozen times by MSU senior goaltender Drew Palmisano.
With the score tied 1-1 at 1:24 in OT — and Miami outshooting MSU 6-0 in the extra period — Austin Czarnik fished the puck from the corner and fed Mullin, who walked undefended around from behind the Spartans' net and fired from between the bottom of the left circle and the crease, shelfing the puck and winning the game for the RedHawks.
"Czarnik made a nice play behind the net and I came around the right-hand side and everybody went to Reilly," said Mullin, "so when they go to one person, all you have to do is shoot. It went in, and I was really excited about that."
The Spartans had good reason to keep their eye on Smith, and not just because his reputation preceded him. At 9:31 in the second, Smith ripped a sure goal from the bottom of the slot that Palmisano handled like an infielder. Smith forced Palmisano to make a save six seconds into overtime.
"When one of your best players is getting chances and nothing's happening for Reilly," said Miami coach Enrico Blasi, "you kind of wonder what's going on. Obviously, Jimmy made a nice play at the end there."
Smith wasn't the only unsung hero of the game. The Miami penalty kill was flawless tonight, denying all five MSU chances, including a critical five-on-three early in the second period.
With the game tied 1-1 on goals scored by Miami's Bryon Paulazzo and MSU's Greg Wolfe 12 seconds apart late in the first period, RedHawks Trent Vogelhuber and Will Weber were in the box 40 seconds apart to give the Spartans a five-on-three advantage for 1:20. Surviving those penalties — especially with Weber, one of Miami's best PK players, in the box — fueled the RedHawks for the remainder of the game.
"Any time you can kill a five-on-three, you get a little bit of the momentum back," said Weber. "That helped, because we were kind of scrambling there for a while. I think after that five-on-three, we kind of took the momentum back a little bit and finished the game strong after that."
Connor Knapp's 33-save performance helped as well.
"I thought he played in control and made some big, big saves when he had to," said Blasi. "He kept us in the game, especially early on. He's a big boy, so when he's playing in control, it's hard to see the net. Very nice job with rebound control, and that's key because our defensemen; I think we're in our system play pretty good team defense. We're not giving teams many second chances if we're getting good rebound control, and usually that's a good sign for us."
Knapp's counterpart, Palmisano, played well with 25 saves on the night.
"He played a real strong game again," said MSU coach Tom Anastos, "but to win, you have to usually score more than one goal."
The teams meet again Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. in Munn Ice Arena.

3 games in 3 days. A discussion is in order.
I made the lead picture myself. Not a terrible photoshop effort. Not terribly complicated, either.
It isn't necessarily uncommon in the MCLA to have a game every day of the weekend. Sometimes that's how the scheduling needs to work out with little to no support from your represented university.
Memphis University School is a stunning venue.
Tennessee Game
We got to the field about 3 hours before game time and had a chance to completely warm up and then some. Bus legs were not an issue. The game as a whole didn't go very well for us. For some reason, we always have slow starts. Against Wake Forest, we gave up 4 goals in the first 3 minutes of the game. Tennessee buried a few early ones and coasted from there. We couldn't seem to get anything rolling. A lot of short possessions led to fast breaks and a tired defense. We didn't play to our strengths in the game. We came out of it knowing we are a lot better than we showed. We just never got it clicking. Not taking anything away from Tennessee, they have a very solid team. More so than I remember from the previous 2 times we played them.
Uconn Game
If there is such a thing as rock bottom, this game was it. The first quarter wasn't too bad. We possessed the ball, played good defense and headed into the 2nd quarter with a 2-1 lead. Energy and spirits were high. Not for long.
Early in the 2nd quarter, we suffered a series of critical injuries. Three players who get a lot of minutes went down. We were stretched very thin. It is no excuse for how we played, though. Literally nothing was happening for us. Everything that could go wrong, did. We were an absolute mess and embarrassed by the final score. No one on our team had ever lost that bad. We served up the game to Uconn on a silver platter with a white napkin around our left arm and said, "Here, enjoy".
I must commend our goalies in this game, Peter Moore stayed strong in goal for the first half after a hefty barrage of shots. And R.C. Aikens held it down in the second half. If it wasn't for them, Uconn may have scored 40. After the game, no one really knew what to say. We just knew we still had a lot of work to do.
Texas A&M Game
After our horrid loss to Uconn, we learned of the A&M vs. Uconn score from the first night. 14-7 in favor of the Aggies. We had hit the so-called rock bottom I mentioned. It was time to pick ourselves up and start getting to where we know we should be.
The offense and defense met for a long time before the game and narrowed it down to what each group needed to improve on. We came into the game with a real solid idea of how we were going to approach this thing. We got down 5-2 in the second quarter and there was definitely some fear that our meltdown was going to happen all over again. It was different this time.
Instead of everyone yelling at eachother, we just talked and got on the same page as to what was going on out there. We got back on the field and netted two goals to go into the half 5-4.
The second half was by far the best lacrosse we have played all year. We controlled the tempo and limited some of the mistakes that were hurting us in the previous games. We drew a slash with 54 seconds left to play down 9-8. The man up unit got in there and Matt Anderson buried the tying goal for us. He complimented my assist as we celebrated. Charming young man he is. Here we go to Overtime.
Terror struck as A&M won the face off and sprinted down to score right away. Not a great feeling to lose. In fact, the worst feeling after having played so poorly the previous two days. 10-9 A&M in OT.
Note: Freshman Attackman Nick Fletcher had a break out game, notching 5 goals against the Aggies.
As Coach told us on the bus, we didn't get the results we wanted on the weekend. 0-3 is obviously not a desirable outcome. We did, however, leave on a positive note, knowing that we have the ability to play with teams as long as we keep within ourselves and stick to what we are good at. Now we have a week to get ready for Illinois State on Saturday and Illinois on Sunday. Everyone is excited to get back out to practice and refine the little things we need to take care of. The good thing is, after the A&M game, we are now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
On a personal note, I played terribly this weekend. I can't remember a time where my shooting was so off. I hit the goalie about 100 times and missed the age a few. The post wasn't very friendly to me, either. Will fix that in practice tonight.
Time for practice. Part 2 about the shenanigans off the field coming either later tonight or tomorrow.
Here's a teaser:

I thought it would be cute to write down on the back what Josie and Owen were thankful for this year. I started with Owen since Josie had decided that her turkey was incomplete without glitter.
"What are you thankful for this year?' I asked Owen. Owen paused for a minute and then started to rattle off a list of things.
"Dinosaurs, Blocks, a Buzz Light Year game," he said. So impressed, I started writing them down immediately. Just as I finished writing blocks, it hit me.
"Owen! This is your Christmas list!" I said.
He nodded and said, "lets give the turkey to Santa."
It's a typical rise and fall moment in parenting. One moment you feel like the greatest mother in the world and the next, you realize your child is more focused on what he's getting than what he's grateful for.
I started to wonder if I've ever taken the time to teach my children what it means to be grateful and how to recognize all the blessings in their lives. There is too much we all I take for granted, I thought.
I was still thinking about Owen's list the next morning when we were stopped in traffic on Grant Rd. I spend a lot of time driving on Grant Rd. but, today, the word on the street sign struck me. Maybe I shouldn't take these quiet moments in the car for granted.
I turned off the radio and talked to Josie and Owen about all the things that I am grateful for and how it's important not to take the anything for granted.
"We are so lucky," I said "to have so many wonderful family members and friends, to have a car and a house and toys to play with." I tried to explain that even though it's okay to want a few new things for Christmas, we shouldn't take for granted all the wonderful things we already have.
I waited anxiously for a response.
"Are we at school yet?" Josie asked.
"Is Christmas here yet?" Owen asked.
The light in front of me was green, but there was no where to go. For the first time, I was grateful for the traffic on Grant Rd. It gave me the extra time I needed to go over gratitude and what we take for granted a few more times.
Hopefully, during one of our drives up and down the traffic filled streets of Grant Rd., my children will learn how important it is to appreciate every day and never take a single thing for granted.

I am about to publish my third book, "The Sex Life of the Everyday Woman." I wrote it 12-years ago but it was shelved along with "12 Days in Manipur," (a novel), and a memoir, "Undressing the Well-clothed Bear." Life takes us along in her waves and while the good thing she does is to throw characters and conflicts our way, the resolution takes time: Both in life and in novels.
In the middle of 2004 I lost my job at the Lenox Hill Women's Shelter at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. I wrote "Incidents from A Shelter: The Season of the Larva," in 1999 based on the clients there, but it wasn't published until 2002. Not working outside the home was wonderful at first. It gave me time to write and at that time the India book, "12 Days in Manipur," was born under the title of India Burning. The tough side was struggling for money. I had little money, no family support (I mean none!), and felt my stability slipping away through a straw to the uncontrollable side of life. It really was one day at a time. Finding a job as a per diem for a supportive housing situation on Stanton Street where I earned $10 per hour; I would calculate and add up what I would pay for that week. Electric? Phone? I needed both to find work. I had to go to the City for rent payments-they paid the landlord not me. I found a part time job for a not-for-profit public relations company and pooled the money together. I then found an administrative job at the Henry Street Settlement where the director who would say, "She was good with the lord," and told a co worker, "What do you have to be angry about, you white and you have hair," startled me when she let me go after working for her for 4 months. I kept going, clearly there was no room to stop looking for work but I thought about writing. I saw the stories all around me. Fruit stands, bus stops, old lovers, new ones who weren't there when I needed them and family that turned away and pretended my situation did not exist. It's all about the story…in life we get small resolves…in novels a resolution is a must.
No this is not a feel sorry piece-but a feel wonderful and proud expose that I hear and see as the accomplishments come along for me. Today, I live in a house my husband built for us in Arizona, (I got married again), enough money to live off, and freedom to write and not have to go out into the workforce every day.
So today I share some pictures of the place I am now. It's good. And yes, here comes the third book. ..and a book signing at the Tucson Festival of Books on March 15th at the University of Arizona. Also, I don't want to leave out this column on the Examiner…in fact, I have two of them…life is good.

R3132/N, R3162, R3172 Spectrum Analyzers
Powerful allrounders for general applications in development, production, testshop and service*Complementary Product. (NOT distributed in North America & Asia.)
The medium-class spectrum analyzers are powerful allrounders suitable for a wide variety of applications for manual as well as system operation, cost-effective in the development, production and service of communication products, consumer electronics and in EMC precertification measurements. They offer very good characteristics in terms of signal resolution, noise floor and dynamic range.
R31x2 product family
- R3132: 9 kHz to 3 GHz
- R3132N: 9 kHz to 3 GHz, 75 ohm version
- R3162: 9 kHz to 8 GHz
- R3172: 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz
- Digital and analog Radio Transmitter Characteristic Measurement
- Manufacturing Test
- EMC Testing (Precompliance)
- Education/Training
- Cable TV
- Digital Mobile Communications
- Microwave applications (R3172)
- Channel settings
- Automatic spurious test within predefined frequency spans
- Spectrum mask settings for mobile communication applications
A wide range of analysis functions affords great ease of operation. The growing importance of radio systems in particular makes increasing demands on spectrum analyzers. This aspect has been taken into account by fast sweep time in the zero span, gated sweep and adjacent-channel power measurements.
Options can be retrofitted to match application requirements.
For EMI precompliance measurement, 6 dB bandwidth filters (9 kHz, 120 kHz and 1 MHz) and a QP detector are equipped as standard. An optional 200 Hz narrow RBW filter can be added for EMC measurements. A high-speed time domain measurement function which is indispensable for mobile communications, is available as an option.
By using the double-screen display function, you can specify the rising/falling edge of TDMA waveforms and display the magnified image.
The R31x2 series spectrum analyzer has ACP and OBW operation functions which are indispensible for evaluating the transmission characteristic of radio systems. With various other functions such as AUTO TUNE, 1 Hz resolution frequency counter, dBc/Hz, %AM, and PASS/FAIL test by limit value, the R31x2 series can easily perform several types of measurements. Even for weakest signals the preamplifier ensures level calibrated, high-accuracy measurement.
For measuring the attenuation characteristics of filters or the frequency characteristics of cables, etc., a built-in tracking generator is available as an option. Because the output level can be set in a wide range, it is possible to measure amplifier gain, frequency response, etc.
The high-resolution, 6.5-inch TFT color LCD provides easy-to-see display of data. A VGA output is provided for external display.
Measured waveform data and setting condition can be saved in or recalled from the internal memory. Using the floppy disk drive which is equipped as standard, you can manage more measurement data. Text data or Bitmap data on floppy disk are also useful for making documents on a personal computer.
As the hard-copy function is provided to ESC/P. ESC/P-R and PCL, measured data can be printed out on general-purpose printers.
GPIB and RS232 are equipped as standard.
Upgrade your Spectrum analyzer R31x2 with additional functions like
Advantest products can be purchased from Rohde & Schwarz representatives in certain countries. Please check in "Sales Addresses" if your local Rohde & Schwarz representative is also an Advantest representative.

College Hockey:RPI To Move Women's Hockey To Division I
Timetable Unknown
TROY, N.Y. — With the concern over athletic scholarships now passed, Rensselaer officially announced its intention to elevate the level of its women's hockey program to the Division I level.
A Division III proposal that would have eliminated the ability of schools that "play up" in one sport to give athletic scholarships, was amended at the NCAA Convention in Nashville. Instead, the eight schools that already have that distinction were grandfathered, and will be allowed to continue offering scholarships for one sport in each gender.
The legislation also allows schools to add one Division I scholarship in the other gender. Since RPI already has a men's program, with the amendment passed, it can now procede with upgrading its women's program.
"We have been evaluating our options for moving a women's varsity sport to Division I for some time," said RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson. "We have a great tradition in ice hockey, making it an appropriate choice as a Division I sport at Rensselaer.
Jackson noted that the school is developing a timeline, and will eventually apply for inclusion in the ECAC women's league.
"I am thrilled and the members of the women's team are thrilled," said Burke, who took over the women's program after the sudden death of Bill Cahill in October. "We have an opportunity to carry out one of Bill's goals, which was to compete successfully at the highest level, and we are elated."
Rensselaer elevated its women's hockey program from a club team to varsity beginning in the 1995-96 season. After only two seasons of sub-.500 records, the Engineers have posted winning marks every year since.
"It's an exciting time at Rensselaer," said school AD Ken Ralph. "With outstanding student-athletes, a top young head coach in John Burke, and our winning tradition, I believe we can make an impact at the Division I level in the not-too-distant future."
Last season, RPI was 20-7 overall, 17-3 in the ECAC East, and advanced to the finals of the ECAC
East tournament. Individually, Cahill was named the league's Coach of the Year, Julie Vallarelli was the Goaltender of the Year, and Julie Welte was honored as the Rookie of the Year.
This season, RPI is 10-2-2 overall and 6-1-0 in the ECAC East.

Buffalo Bicycle Classic Canceled!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From www.buffalobicycleclassic.com/
In cooperation with Boulder County and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, the organizers of the Buffalo Bicycle Classic have agreed not to hold the annual fund-raising event on Sept. 12, 2010.
Both the county and the BBC are concerned about the ride's potential to impede emergency crews who are stationed near or accessing the fire from several points along the Buffalo Bicycle Classic route: Firefighting crews are encamped at Boulder Reservoir, and they gain access to the fire from U.S. Highway 36.
Additionally, the BBC is concerned about already-overtaxed law-enforcement personnel who would be asked to monitor the ride, and it is concerned about the air quality for the riders.
The Buffalo Bicycle Classic will inform registered riders by email today that the ride will not occur on Sunday. The BBC committee will meet this weekend to discuss next steps, and it will have more detailed and specific answers to riders' questions early next week. Check this page next week for answers to your questions!
Because the ride generates so much needed scholarship support for good students in the University of Colorado College of Arts and Sciences, the BBC's organizers worked diligently to find a way to hold the event without impinging upon the critical work of firefighters. Having found no such solution, the BBC has canceled Sunday's ride.
The BBC sincerely regrets the inconvenience and deeply appreciates the community's longstanding support.

Brigid Pelino
Executive Vice-President, People and Culture
"WestJet is a jewel in the Canadian business landscape. Our approach with employee ownership and empowerment is renowned and I could not be more thrilled to be a WestJetter. I love that we are a winning team – WestJetters love to celebrate successes!"
Brigid Pelino joined WestJet as Executive Vice-President, People and Culture in August, 2013. Brigid isn't a stranger to working with quintessential Canadian brands – she joined WestJet after more than 13 years at Tim Hortons where her last position was Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Continuous Improvement. Prior to Tim Hortons, Brigid worked for another great Canadian company: Canadian Tire Corporation. In her last role with Canadian Tire, Brigid was accountable for leadership development and succession planning for all of the Canadian Tire businesses. Brigid's career in Human Resources stretches back further to Honeywell International where she worked in Los Angeles, California, and General Electric, where she worked in both the lighting division and the corporate office.
As the Executive Vice-President of People and Culture, Brigid's priority is to help WestJet's culture continue to evolve to support the business strategy and growth (and vice versa). In her opinion WestJet has perfected a recipe that works – evolving its structure, business and culture in a more complex environment is a challenge she is passionate to take on. She is committed to maintaining a personal touch and to continue to hire, develop and reward outstanding WestJetters as WestJet grows. Brigid knows that every WestJetter contributes to WestJet's success by delivering a caring and friendly guest experience - she believes in the ownership model WestJet was founded on.
Brigid feels strongly about WestJet's unique culture and knows it is truly one of the best places to work in the world. As a strong supporter of inclusion in the workplace, Brigid supports WestJet's commitment to the Catalyst Accord and most recently served as the Executive Chair for the Women's Foodservice Forum in Canada – an organization dedicated to the development of female leaders in the industry. She considers herself an open leader and favours collaboration.
Brigid earned her honours bachelor of arts degree (economics and accounting) and her master's in industrial relations at the University of Toronto. She moved to Calgary from Oakville where she has made her home with her three teenaged children (and she is still relatively sane). Her favourite WestJet destination? Without question: Maui.

College Hockey:Mavericks Overpower Oilers
MSU Puts 54 Shots On Net
MANKATO, Minn. — Minnesota State continues to run into hot goaltenders. However, Friday night the Mavericks finally put enough pucks in the net to claim a victory.
After 73 of MSU's 74 shots were stopped last weekend versus St. Cloud State, the Mavericks fired 54 shots on net Friday night against visiting Findlay and won 4-1.
MSU (4-3-0 overall) was led by junior Jerry Cunningham and senior Nate Mauer, who each tallied two goals for the Mavericks.
Cunningham scored both goals in the first 8:26 of the game. Mauer's tallies were both power-play goals. MSU finished the game 3 for 4 on the power play, while the Oilers went 0 for 4 with the man-advantage.
The Oilers (2-3-0 overall) received stellar goaltending from Jamie VandeSpyker. The junior goalie made 50 saves and kept his team into the contest the entire night. The Mavericks outshot Findlay 54-16.
"We've always had good goaltending," said Findlay head coach Craig Barnett. "When we play teams like this, we certainly need our goaltender to play great. I thought Jaime played fantastic tonight."
Playing on the road and in their first game against a WCHA opponent, it would not have been unexpected for the Oilers to come out a bit nervous.
However, the Oilers jumped out to a surprising 1-0 lead at the 4:35 mark of the first. Captain Andy Croak got the puck in the slot and fired a backhand shot on net that slipped past MSU's Jon Volp glove-side. Sophomore Christian Olson tallied the lone assist on the play.
MSU answered 34 seconds later to tie the game. Defenseman Aaron Forsythe took a shot from the point that hit VandeSpyker and bounced around in front of the crease. The Oiler goalie was unable to cover the puck, and it bounced over to Cunningham. The junior grabbed the puck, pulled it to his forehand and slid it into the empty right side of the net at 8:06.
Minnesota State captured the lead on the power play 8:26 into the game. With UF's Kris Wiebe off for tripping, Cunningham took opportunity of the man-advantage and scored his second goal of the night. Freshman Steven Johns fired a hard slapshot on VandeSpyker from the blue line. VandeSpyker made a stick save, and the rebound soared what seemed like 30 feet into the air directly above the crease.
Cunningham, camped out on the right side of the goal, never lost sight of the puck. He waited patiently for the puck to fall under the crossbar and then batted it out of midair and into the net to put the Mavericks ahead 2-1. The goal was Cunningham's third of the year.
When asked about his second goal, Cunningham laughed and said, "That was amazing. I was just sitting there watching (the puck). I saw the goalie and he had no idea where it was. I just waited and waited and batted it out of the air. I just knew I was going to get it in. It seemed like the clock stopped, everything stopped. I just had to wait for it and be patient."
"Jerry's a player," explained MSU head coach Troy Jutting. "He's been around the block. He understands the game very well. That was just a heads-up play to wait for the puck to come down before he swung at it."
The goalies took over the rest of the period as Volp kept the Mavericks in the lead with a nice save nine minutes in. Croak passed to Olson, who fired the puck on net from the slot. Volp was up to the task and deflected the puck to the corner.
VandeSpyker kept the game close after numerous defensive breakdowns left MSU with brilliant scoring opportunities. Grant Stevenson passed to teammate Jake Brenk on a 2-on-0 rush in front of the net, but Brenk's shot was stopped by the Oiler goalkeeper.
Freshman Rick Kisskeys also had a chance 12:47 in when he got the puck all alone in front of the UF net, but VandeSpyker stopped the puck and allowed no rebound.
The Mavericks outshot the Oilers 24-4 in the first and carried their 2-1 lead into intermission. It would take only 40 seconds for MSU to get its third goal of the night.
Again on the power play, Johns passed from the blue line to teammate and captain B. J. Abel in the right circle. Abel passed the puck right away to senior Nate Mauer, who was set up between the circles. Mauer one-timed the puck into the left side of the net to make the score 3-1.
VandeSpyker kept his team in the game throughout the night, but Findlay was never able to sustain any pressure. Mauer put the game away at 3:36 of the third period with MSU's third power-play goal of the night.
Mauer took a pass from teammate Tim Jackman as he streaked down the left side towards the UF net. He fired the puck but just missed the net on the left side. The senior grabbed the puck from behind the net and quickly brought it around to the front. Mauer slid the puck underneath VandeSpyker's leg and into the net for his fourth goal of the season.
MSU's defense pressed down on the Oilers' offense, and Volp stopped all six shots he faced in the third as the Mavericks held onto win 4-1.
Jutting was very happy with his team's turnaround after being swept at home last weekend.
"I thought we did a good job of getting the puck to the net. I think kids went to the net and we had some good quality opportunities. And like I told the kids, if we keep doing that, they're going to go in."
Despite the loss, Barnett was very pleased with his team's play.
"I was real proud of our effort," said Barnett. "We never stopped working. That's a great team we played. Their forwards are very quick. A 4-1 game, and they scored three power-play goals, so even strength it was a 1-1 game. Overall I was pleased with our effort. We never gave up and we kept working."
Both teams felt the nonconference series was good for them to get back on track.
"I think these are games we need," said Cunningham. "You make these plays and it just carries on. You get a goal, you get the power play working, and we have so much more confidence."
"This helps us get ready for next weekend with Bemidji back home," added Barnett.
The two teams will finish up their series Saturday night with game time set at 7:05 at the Midwest Wireless Civic Center.

Arizona (0-7-1) at No. 1 Stanford (8-0-1)
Saturday, Sept. 24 • 7:00 p.m. MST
Palo Alto, Calif. • Laird Q. Cagan Stadium
TUCSON, Ariz. -University of Arizona Wildcat women's soccer squad will open the Pac-12 Conference schedule this weekend at No. 1 Stanford on Saturday at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
Last Time Out: Last week, the Wildcats hosted Pacific and Texas Tech in the Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort Cats Classic. Friday, Arizona (0-7-1) took on Pacific in the late game, and lost to the Tigers 3-0. Junior forward Renae Cuellar led the team with four shot attempts, three on-goal for the match. Sunday, the squad earned its first shutout of the year, as both sides were held scoreless through two overtime periods. Senior goalkeeper Ashley Jetthad five saves on the night, including a pair of leaping deflections in the first overtime period that were key to extending the game.
Noting the Cardinal: The No. 1 Stanford Cardinal added a pair of shutout wins to its 8-0-1 record last weekend, on the road at Portland and Santa Clara. Starting with Portland, Cardinal Kristy Zurmuhlen scored her first goal of the season in second half of the 2-0 shutout win. At Santa Clara, Camille Levin and Marjani Hing-Glover scored a pair of first-half goals six minutes apart in the victory. Goalie Emily Emily Oliver earned her 13th career shutout in the match.
About the Cats: Arizona enters the 2011 season with eight returning starters and high expectations following a 5-13-2 campaign a season ago ... The Wildcats return players with 234 combined starts in their collegiate careers ... Forward Renae Cuellar, who scored six goals and had three assists in the first six games of 2010, returns after missing the final 14 matches due to a knee injury ... Senior goalkeeper Ashley Jettreturns after playing every minute in goal over the course of the final 18 matches last season ... Several of the UA's seven freshmen could make their collegiate debuts this weekend.
Welcome to the Show: This season, four freshmen made their collegiate debuts at Arizona. LeeAndra Smith earned a start in her first career game against San Diego State, while Julia Glanz and Emily Lai made appearances as reserves. Glanz made her first collegiate start two days later against Pepperdine, and Desiree Bramlette saw her first action as a Wildcat off the bench against the Waves. Against Pepperdine, Lai and Glanz each registered their first shot attempts. At Brigham Young, Brie DeFelicecame off the bench and recorded one on-goal shot attempt.
Head Coach Lisa Oyen: Lisa Oyenenters her second full season as head coach of the Arizona women's soccer program. In her two seasons at the helm, Oyen has provided stability to the program that is seeking its first winning season 2005. She has improved talent, depth and skill on the roster, and revitalized the Wildcats' recruiting efforts. Her 2010 team - her first full year in charge - was hit hard by injury and illness, but showed its toughness and resilience in a 5-13-2 campaign. Oyen served as a co-interim head coach for the final seven games of 2009, before being named the head coach after the season. She has a career coaching record of 6-19-2 counting all 27 games she has been a head coach or co-interim head coach. Prior to becoming a head coach, she served as an assistant at the school for seven seasons.
Filling up the Stat Sheet: Despite playing just six of 20 games, Cuellar posted team-leading figures in most of the major stat categories: goals (6), points (15) and shot percentage (.231). Cuellar didn't achieve the team lead in these categories by a small margin either; despite missing 14 games, her six goals doubled the number two goal-scorer on the squad, her 15 points were nine more than her closest competition and her .231 shot percentage was 55 points higher than the second highest percentage. Her one game-winning goal and three assists tied for the most on the team.
Jetting into the Record Books: Senior goalkeeper Ashley Jett recorded 104 saves in 2010, the most in the Pac-10. Arizona has had a rich history at her position; since 2001, seven UA goalkeepers have led the Pac-10 in saves. Her 104 saves are the second most in the conference since UA's Chelsea McIntyrestopped 109 shots on goal in 2006. For the 2011 season, Jett is second in the conference in saves with 40 and an average of 5.00 per game.
Up Next: Next weekend, Arizona continues conference play at Colorado and Utah. The Wildcats will face off against Colorado on Friday, Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. in the squads first-ever meeting. Sunday, Arizona will meet Utah in Salt Lake at 1 p.m.

Rescuers working amid gusty winds, cold temperatures and billowing smoke pulled four additional bodies Thursday from the rubble of two New York City apartment buildings, raising the death toll to at least seven from a gas leak-triggered explosion that reduced the area to a pile of smashed bricks, splinters and mangled metal.

JONATHAN LEMIRE and JAKE PEARSON| Associated Press March 13, 2014; 8:06 a.m. Comments NEW YORK — A seventh person has been confirmed killed by an explosion that flattened two New York City apartment buildings. Fire Department spokesman Danny Glover said Thursday that a seventh body had been found in the rubble. Police say the victim, recovered around 7:15 a.m., was an adult male. Three bodies were found Wednesday and three more overnight. A gas leak triggered the explosion Wednesday morning on Park Avenue and 116th Street in East Harlem.
