This is a taste of things to come - those clever boffins at Wave Machine Labs - they brought us Drumagog and other nifty software, have been working on this concept for some time. Now that iPad power is sufficient to bring their vision to reality, the new Auria 48 track DAW system is imminent.
With channel strip processing provided by PSP AudioWare, there's full DAW editing and mixing capbilites. Heck, with the right class compliant audio interface, Wave Machine Labs say they that it is possible to record up 18 tracks of simultanious audio right onto the iPad...
Still under development, but they say it should be coming in a couple of months at $49.
Ok great stuff, where do I plug even 24 jack leeds in?

Simply stunning. The only thing that would make this even better is to have a pc/mac version that would directly import/export the projects with all the plugins on it. Even without it, this is really great!

A cursing toddler, of all things, is making news. In Nebraska, the Omaha Police Officer Association (POA) is under fire for positing YouTube footage of a swearing African American baby in the presence of other adults using profanities. While local police did not find anything criminal in the video, police group called the viral video part of the "thug cycle," citing a Jan. 9 CNN video on the disturbing developments.
A diapered baby is shown cursing and repeating a string of profanities in the video, as adults egged him on. The POA posted footage of the child on the Internet and a backlash erupted after the group said the video highlights the "cycle of violence and thuggery" the community faces.
While not many would disagree that the adults in the video acted irresponsible, it's not clear why this matter should have been viewed as stereotypical black America.
On the cursing toddler and why it was necessary for the union to post the inflammatory video, a spokesperson had this to say:
We have a lot more latitude to be a little more edgy than the police department. And that edginess is necessary to force a deeper conversation on the city's crime problems."
Although the Nebraska Child Protective Services moved in quickly and removed the child in question from the home, along with three other children, an investigation from the police department failed to turn up any criminal wrongdoing on the part of the adults.
With that background and understanding, I want to make it explicit and clear that the views expressed on the OPOA Facebook page do not necessarily reflect the official stance of the Omaha Police Department. I strongly disagree with any postings that may cause a divide in our community or an obstacle to police community relations," said Police Chief Todd Schmaderer, who added that his department cannot control the free speech of the association.
Given the fact that the city of Omaha, with its 409,000 residents, of which 25 percent are African American, coupled with the ongoing racial tension, matters of civil liberty, and lawsuits with the police department, it is odd the police union would post a swearing toddler "thug" video.
To the union president, Sgt. John Wells' point, the video is quite "disturbing" and "offensive," as he describes it. Moreover, it is unhealthy for a child to be in such an environment.
However, to assign a negative moniker to an innocent infant is doubly offensive and counter-productive. Besides, there are agencies, like Child Protection, that addresses these types of matters.
To create causation to life at home to life on the street is reckless, circular reasoning. Moreover, it only serves to further divide an already polarized community over race and class.
Willie Hamilton, president of the community activist group Black Men United, said it best about the developing story:
For them to take a video out of context -- a 2-year-old who doesn't have the brain capacity to know what's going on -- and to say that this child, because two adults acted inappropriately, is going to end up in a life of crime is totally inappropriate."
Arguably, the "conversation" the group refers to can still take place, but in a manner that seeks sincere solutions without rabble-rousing rhetoric.
In short, the act caught on tape was bad parenting, period.
The "cursing toddler" story is still developing.

At Philly International we reached 71 in the afternoon before some light showers pushed through in the late afternoon; this was due to a cold front pushing across the region and the wind shifts overnight. Lows will be in the upper 40s, but then on Sunday highs will be in the lower 60s with a gusty northwesterly wind between 10-20mph.
Same thing goes for Monday with highs in the lower 60s, but then a potent area of low pressure will provide rain for much of the rest of the week; the front itself moves slowly and with a southerly flow this will just push in plenty of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. More on that come Sunday.
For now you can check out the rest of the 7-day forecast ANY TIME at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html !

Esbj—rn Svensson Trio: The Unstable Table and the Infamous Fable
The Unstable Table and the Infamous Fable
Esbj—rn Svensson Trio
Viaticum (ACT 9015-2)
EsbjûÑrn Svensson (piano, keyboards, percussion),
Dan Berglund (bass, percussion), Magnus østr—m (drums, percussion).
Recorded: Stockholm, Sweden, between August 30 and October 11, 2004
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
A rolling sea of arpeggios coming from the piano lays a bed for the elegiac melody. The subsequent bass solo is vocal-inflected and thunderous, something Berglund has come to be known for. Drums and bass lay out while Svensson delves further into a free territory of elegance and purity, harkening back to the pianist's admiration for Keith Jarrett's earlier solo work. This song has moments of relaxation, followed by an energizing push to the finishing coda.

Gross Guilty Feeling
Friday, February 03, 2012
As I lay here in bed, after what was going to be a great day calorie wise, I feel like kicking myself for rumaging through the cupbboards for SUGAR! I binge before bed and it's awful. When I was at my heaviest I did this frequently and it stopped for a long time, and now for some reason it's back and worse than ever. I can't just stop at a little bit, I go all out. I am not talking EXTREME binge eating but enough that it puts me over my calorie range and stores as fat since I am going to bed and not burning it. It just makes me feel sick, physically and mentally to know I am only hurting myself. I have started portioning things, so atleast if I come upstairs to stuff my face I will know it's a serving and I know how many calories in that serving, so I am hoping that small step will make me re think. I find if you just grab handfuls you can convince yourself that "oh it wasn't that much" or "oh that's just half a serving" or "not enough to count" oh boy are those thoughts WRONG. It all adds up and it only ends up hindering me. My only saving grace is knowing I probably didn't go over my "maintance" calorie zone, I am not in maintance stage right now however I know if I don't want to gain where I need to stay. That thought somewhat makes me feel better until I realize the crazy amount of fats and sugars I just consumed. Well that is my rant for tonight, it happend it's over I got it out of my system by telling you all, and now I just need to move forward and know tomorrow is going to be a better day!

I have been in those shoes so many times....In 2004 I was nearly 300lbs, I went on the Atkins diet and lost 100lbs. I have been able to keep my weight off.
I was so addicted to sugar and carbs, they seem to be a vicious cycle, sweet then salty, sweet then salty, it was not unusual for me to eat a huge dinner, get the dishes done then eat chips and then cookies, I was not hungry just craving it....
I had to give those things up, I do have to say that chips are and probably will always be a downfall for me.
Being able to talk about it in a forum like this makes it easier for me to stay on track....
Good luck to you on your journey.

An apparently impromptu dance routine added to the fun at this year's end-of-semester picnic.
Dozens of students, faculty and staff were in on the surprise, inspired by YouTube videos of seemingly random outbreaks of choreography in public places. The group was able to keep its plans secret until the dancers took to the Campus Center lawn to the Beatles number "Twist and Shout."
The performance just added to the fun at the campus celebration. An annual tradition, this year's event included a picnic, inflatable games, musical entertainment and a henna tattoo artist.

1Ls here at GWU Law have spent the better part of the past month writing motions and memos for summary judgment based on a ficticious case of a boy expelled from school because of his long hair with blue streaks. Half the class, as plaintiffs, have been arguing that the nature and manner of his expulsion offends the First and Fourteenth Amendments (allegations of freedom of speech, religion, equal protection, substantive due process, and procedural due process). The other half, as defendants, have argued that hair length and color are not protected rights, and even if they were, the school had a valid interest in restricting them under various scrutiny standards.
A critical case to one of these claims is the 1968 case of Ferrell v. Dallas Independent School District (for those of you playing at home: 392 F.2d 697 (5th Cir.), cert denied 393 U.S. 856 (1968)). The facts are almost identical to every other case like it (and there are a lot of them): there is a school dress code banning male students from wearing hair past the collar of their shirts, the students wear their hair longer, the students get expelled, and the students claim a constitutional issue. In this case, however, there is the added twist that the boys are in a band: Sounds Unlimited. They claim that not only do they have a right under the Fourteenth Amendment, they would be forced to breach their contract with their managing agent, who requires:
[The band] shall maintain their dress and personal appearance in conformity with accepted STANDARDS and CUSTOMS OF ROCK & ROLL GROUPS, COMBO'S [sic] & BANDS including so called BEATLE TYPE HAIR STYLES. 329 F.2d at 698 n.2.
The Fifth Circuit, on appeal, notes fairly tounge-in-cheek that such a a contract would not be enforcable against minors, and proceeds to rule that there is no constitutional right to long hair. This marks the beginning of the Fifth Circuit's highly conservative stance on the issue. To date, the Circuits are almost perfectly split as to whether the right to keeping one's hair at any given length is protected under the "liberties" of the Fourteenth Amendment.
As a fascinating historical footnote (aside from the above, quite literally fascinating historical footnote) is the story of the protest song these boys in Texas wrote upon their expulsion from school. As the Fifth Circuit describes it:
At the conclusion of the [expulsion] conference in the principal's office, the boys left the school building and proceeded to the sidewalk on the west side of the school grounds where the three boys and [manger] Mr. Alexander held a press interview, and pictures, motion pictures and sound tapes were made.
Later the three boys went to a recording studio to write and record a 'protest' song about the matter. The recording was completed and the record entitled 'Keep Your Hands Off It'* was first played on the air Friday morning, September 9. For several days thereafter it was played numerous times on several radio stations. 329 F.2d at 700.
Naturally, in addition to scrutinizing the case for the purposes of my memo, I also endeavored on a quest to find "Keep Your Hands Off It" by Sounds Unlimited. I'm happy to report today that I found the elusive recording.
Sounds Unlimited – Keep Your Hands Off Of It
* – reports vary as to whether the song is properly titled "Keep Your Hands Off Of It" or "Keep Your Hands Off It." The chorus would certainly suggest the former, but I can't say for sure.
Update: I noticed this found its way to the Dallas ISD Daily Dish. Hello, Dallas!
Update: A former member of Sounds Unlimited claims I got the wrong Sounds Unlimited in the picture I had above. I took it down, and hope to replace it with a shot of the Texas band soon.

DEKALB, Ill.- Northern Illinois head football coach Dave Doeren spoke at NIU's weekly press conference at the Jeffrey and Kimberly Yordon Center to preview the season opener against Iowa. Joining Doeren were wide receiver Perez Ashford, defensive end Sean Progar and tight end Jason Schepler. Below are excerpts from the press conference.
NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren
Opening Statement
"It's good to be back into game week. I know our team is excited to hit somebody beside themselves in practice. As coaches, we're excited just to see what we have. You know, I think as a coach, you always think you know, but until you get out there and compete against somebody else. I think it's the best measuring stick you can have for where you're at as a team, what you need to work on the most, what you're best strengths are, what you're worst weaknesses are. We do that against a great team, in a great venue in the opener with Iowa at Soldier Field.
"(We're) really excited to play against the Hawkeyes. I've always had great respect for their program and tremendous respect for Coach Ferentz. When I was a graduate assistant at USC, I was actually able to phone interview with Coach Ferentz when he first got that job. Obviously I didn't get hired, but I thought he handled it with unbelievable class. The way he dealt with me, the way he talked to me.
"Having worked for Coach Bielema, and also living in Iowa for as long as I did and playing at Drake, my wife's family, her brother and sister are Iowa grads, so I know a lot about their program. I know a lot about their coach. I've competed against them obviously at Wisconsin, five different times. So I know what we're up against.
"Iowa's a team that's won their last 11 openers by a margin of victory over 37 points. They're 5-0 against the MAC in openers. They're 7-0 against NIU all time and the last time NIU played Iowa, they [Iowa] obviously won 16-3 and held NIU to 21 yards rushing. So, we know that we're up against a very good team. We also know that we're a pretty good team. How good we are? We're about to find out. Looking forward to seeing where we're at, watching our players play, and letting the two teams decide it on the field.
"Soldier Field, in the fall, is such a great venue. We're so appreciative for the fact that they allow us to come down there and play in their stadium. For our recruits to be able to witness a game on that field, for our players, families, and coaches to be able to play a game in that stadium, be in that locker room that a lot of our heroes were in, is a big deal to us. So we say thank you to Soldier Field for allowing that to happen and look to forward to hopefully future venues there."
On NIU's young offense
"Obviously there's more question marks there because we haven't seen guys play in games particularly on the offensive line, just because that's where we're youngest. We know what our receivers are going to do, we've seen our tailbacks play, we've seen our tight ends play and we've seen a couple of our offensive linemen play in certain games. But to see those five guys together for the first time, this is going to be a great deal. Just watching Iowa play, their defensive line in my opinion is one of the best fundamentally, best coached, most fundamentally sound across the board. They're nothing flashy, just locking people out, shedding blocks and making plays. I think they do that extremely well. I look forward to that competition.
"Defensively, hoping that we can continue to play with the end of the season with a lot of confidence, with our best players making plays, and playing sound, making people earn things, contending throws, making plays when they're there to be make, leveraging football the right way and understanding our fits in our run game and our help and our coverage schemes.
On the walkthrough at Soldier Field
"I can't tell you until after we play the game. I thought there were a lot of guys who had never been there and needed to see what an NFL stadium really looks like from the ground level and I think I accomplished that.
"For those young kids that are playing, it was a good experience. For the older kids, some of them have been in there three or four times already. You know, probably for them, it was a lot of bus trip. But I think for our young guys, it was a great trip. I mean Jordan played there in high school, so he's been there. There's going to be a handful of guys who had never been on the field of an NFL stadium. I didn't want game day against a Big Ten team to be the first time they'd done it."
On hearing and reading about Iowa while playing at Drake
"Well, when you're living in Iowa, the Hawkeyes dominate the news. There is no NFL football team in the state of Iowa, and so the Hawkeyes, then the Cyclones, then Northern Iowa, then Drake, and that's kind of the way it went.
"The Big Peach was the sports page at the time, I don't know if they have that any more, in the Des Moines Register, but it was always three or four pages of Hawkeye news and at the time I was in college they were a tremendous football team, so they got a lot of press at that time. That was when Coach Fry was at the peak of his career and he had a lot of great assistants that are now great head coaches on his staff.
"They got a ton of news and we always felt like we were the red-headed step child being at Drake, and we were. I look forward to playing against them, and that has nothing to do with our game, but just growing up you looked up to Iowa as the standard of what you wanted to become when you were playing in that state."
On comparing this year's Iowa team to the teams he competed against at Wisconsin
"They're a young offensive line too, and they're a young defensive line. There's a couple D-lineman that played a lot last year that you do get to see on film that are impressive. Obviously the center, Ferentz, has played a lot of football there, and he's a very good football player.
"I just know, having played Iowa five times, every group, regardless of what the name was on the back of their shirt, they played really hard. They were extremely strong, and they were well prepared. So, I expect to see the same. You just don't have the two-time All Big Ten guy at right tackle coming back, so you don't see that right now, but I know that they have always recruited well on the fronts."
On pressuring Iowa's returning quarterback James Vandenberg
"He's a guy that last year threw 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and 3,000 yards passing in an offense that's really not designed for that. I mean they do throw obviously, but they're not a team that stands there and throws 40 times a game.
"I think he made the most of what he had. I think he made good decisions. He can run, not that he's a designed runner a lot, but he does get himself out of trouble. He's very accurate, has a strong arm, he had very good targets last year and he lost a couple of those, so I know they'll be trying to feel their way through that part of their game.
"I do think they have maybe one of the best receiving tight end's in college football in Fiedorowicz. So, that'll be a challenge for us. As a quarterback, I know you like having a 6'7 target. We know we need to take care of him. From what I read, their tailback catches the ball pretty well out of the backfield, so I know that he'll be a guy that we have to recognize in the pass game as well. Any time you return a senior starter or a returning starter at quarterback, I think that's an area of strength on your football team.
On the importance of starting fast
"I don't know if we need a statement as much as we need to be in the game. I don't want to look up and see 21-0. I think if we can play with them and not beat ourselves, I think that's a huge key. When you play a fundamentally sound team, you just don't give them opportunities. Make them earn everything. If we can not beat NIU in the game in the first and second quarter, and make it at halftime where we're in there [the locker room] talking about winning the game, then we'll have a chance to be competitive.
"To me, the best start for us would just be playing good football and not beating ourselves. We need to keep doing that until our players make some plays because we do have some guys that are very electric when they touch the football. We need to give them a chance to make sure they have a chance to do that."
On maintaining an up tempo offense
"That's just part of our offense. We'll go fast. We can huddle. We can change personnel and slow it down. There were certain games where we went light speed at times last year, and we'll have to see how we're doing. Obviously it's not good if you're not getting first downs on your defense. We've got to make sure it's working, but we do have the ability to speed things up and slow it down as much as we want."
On how Iowa approaches this game as a Big Ten team
"I don't know, having not worked for Coach [Ferentz] to know what he would do. I know playing at Wisconsin, it didn't matter who we played, we always talked about playing better than we did the week before. We focused a lot on ourselves, as opposed to our opponents during those weeks, making sure that we were getting better all the time.
"You know that you are going to get the best shot of the team that you're playing, just like the following week when we play Tennessee-Martin. They're coming here with nobody expecting them to win. We're going to get all their gadgets. When you play a team like us when you're supposedly better, you might expect to get the best shot from that team."
On preparing for both of Iowa's new coordinators
"You have to go back, Coach [Greg] Davis, I've competed against when I was at Kansas and he was at Texas. I remember what he did when he was there. He had Vince Young, which is a different dynamic quarterback wise. You do look back to that. We also looked at his last couple years at Texas and what was different. That helps you and also creates a little indecision. The first three games every year you are going to have that same problem. Even if they return their staff, you know they did some research in the offseason and tweaked some things, so the unknown is always a part of it.
"Defensively, they're kind of interesting. Phil Parker was there the whole time Norm [Parker] was there, but their talking a lot about how much more pressure they're going to bring now. That's something they weren't. They used to play two or three defenses and blitz you in the red zone and they played better technique. If they are more of a pressure team, that would be a big change for Iowa. We'll see. We'll have to be ready for that obviously. They've moved a ton of coaches around on their staff, so I think that part of it will be interesting in the game. Their offensive line is now on the defensive side. Their tight ends coach is now on the defensive side. Their linebackers coach moved from linebackers into the secondary and they hired a new linebackers coach who hadn't coached Division I football before. They have a lot of new pieces and dynamics are going to be a big part of it as well.
On any pressure faced by Jordan Lynch for his first start being at Soldier Field
"I've talked to him a lot about just managing the game. All of our players, if they play within the system, the system will do the rest. They're not starting because they're not good enough. They're starting because they make good plays and they have to trust that. It's the scheme and the plays and the reads.
"Can he do that in his first game? We'll find out. I think that's part of growing as a quarterback is managing the game and protecting your defense and not trying to make a play that will put them in harm's way if you don't have to. Those are all things we're talking a lot about with our offense and with our quarterbacks and, obviously, it's up to him to take that information to the field and use it."
On the decision of playing true freshmen or redshirting them
"We discuss it a lot. I don't like burning a guy's redshirt if he's not going to be an integral part or have the ability to benefit greatly from the year. We're going to play Desroy Maxwell, one of our freshman tight ends, because I think, if he travels and follows Jason Schepler around for an entire season, as opposed to not doing that, he will be much more prepared to be our starting tight end next season. He'll play on special teams. He'll play on offense at times, but I know if I redshirted him and had him here the entire year, he wouldn't gain as much. He is physically able to do that because of how he's built.
"There's other players that you watch them in practice and you know how good they were in high school and you just don't see it yet. You can't put them out there yet. That's kind of the biggest thing. Bottom line is do they help you win if you play them. That's the conversation we have the most."
On different preparation for this year's Soldier Field game than last year's
"Defensively, having played a bowl game as late as we did, we were able to do a lot of developmental practice with our young players. They were basically able to have their entire package in for the first game. A year ago, we played Army and we had probably 25 percent of our package in because they're triple option. I think it is a totally different preparation on the defensive side.
"Offensively, it's different. You're younger and we have a lot of stuff offensively anyway, but we're not going to run plays just to run them. I told our offensive staff, `You need to look at the formations. You need to look at the players and the players you're playing against and make sure we're running things we have a chance to be successful with.' We're pared down maybe more on that side of the ball that way than we are on the other."
On preparing for rainy conditions
"It probably depends on how muddy the field will get. Obviously there are some plays in space that we would like to take advantage of. If we can get them in a position where we can make them tackle in space, I think we have an advantage at times. If we are playing on a really muddy field, that could hurt us. I don't know that because we have not played in mud yet. So I don't know how it would go. We'll see, both teams have to deal with it. We are probably worried most about ball security and both teams would have issues when it came to that."
On freshmen quarterback traveling with team
"Right now Matt Williams will travel over Drew. We just felt like talking with both of those guys together. Drew was kind of excited about competing against our defense every day in practice he felt like that would help him more and Matt felt like being with Jordan would help him. It was more of a decision that we think either way you do it, you're gain a lot and you kind of let those guys have some say in it. Drew is excited about having his scout team offense to run against our defense every day."
What game means for bowl game implications
"Not really. If we beat them, it would be a great accomplishment because no NIU team has beat Iowa. I'd worry more about just winning the game than where it would put us in 12 weeks. I think every win is important at this point in time, especially if you are a team that has high expectations. If we are in bowl contention at the end of the year, obviously this could be a game that can help us."
Jason Schepler, Tight End
On recovering from his injury
"Recovery is going really well. Knees are feeling great and its fun to get back out there with teammates."
On missing last season
"I concentrated on learning the offense better and getting the schemes of all the plays down. I think it was a real good opportunity for me to learn the offense and have a better football IQ, so now when I'm on the field I know what's going on even faster even though I haven't been on the field I know what to expect."
Sean Progar, Defensive End
On the defense leading the way for the team
"I think we are up to it and I think the team has confidence in us and we are not going to put pressure on us. We are going to go out there and play our game and if we execute our game plan and we play hard we will be fine."
On what it will take to beat Iowa
"It's going to take execution and everyone doing their job. We've gone over the summer knowing that and going into camp knowing that. We're not going to put pressure on us. If we do what we are so post to do we will win this game. I think we all believe that."
Perez Ashford, Wide Receiver
On Jordan Lynch replacing Chandler Harnish
"I don't think Jordan looks at being Chandler. He's mostly concerned about bringing wins. We work so much on our tempo and in film, I don't think he has any butterflies going into this first game. He's actually excited. Every time we walk past each other he's always talking about the film and what we need to work on. I just think he's really anxious to start this game and win this game."

Arriving at the beach without the necessary supplies can make a promising day of fun and sun into a miserable shortened day of frustration. It really does make sense to get organized before you go, and here is the checklist you'll need to pull off a great day.
Beach blanket
No trip to the beach would be complete without a blanket to lay on. An old blanket you keep designated for beach trips gives you and your family a place to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy snacks or a picnic lunch. Plus, you'll go home at the end of the day evenly tanned on both your front and back!
Beach towels
A beach towel is a must if you plan to go swimming, wading, or walking in the water. However, there are other great reasons why you can't leave that towel behind. Might you need to wipe your hands before eating? Or maybe you'll need to dry up excess suntan oil, or wipe sand off your feet and legs prior to putting shoes back on. Even sitting on your beach towel on your car's seat is important if you're wet, but it can be imperitive if the car seat is hot- think leather!
Sunscreen is a must, even for seasoned beach goers. The American Cancer Society warns that even 30 minutes of direct sun exposure can leave you with burned skin. The sun is strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you are planning a trip to the beach, the best bet would be to avoid this 4 hour window when the sun's rays can do the most harm. This is especially critical if you are fair skinned.
The most compelling reason to use protection from the sun is even if your skin doesn't feel or look burned, the sun's rays are slowly breaking down the protective barrier that your body needs to last it a lifetime. The critical areas to apply sunscreen on any day are the most commonly exposed skin areas. Face, arms, and hands take the brunt of sun damage over years of baring them while doing everyday activities.
Hats and visors not only protect your face from the sun, but can also have unintended benefits. Hats with a 360° brim protect the delicate folds of your outer ear, a place that can burn quickly. Hats with a neck flap protect the back of your neck, an area that is commonly forgotten when applying sunscreen. No matter what style of hat or visor you choose, it will provide relief from the direct sun for your head and eyes, interrupting the delivery of harmful sun exposure. They just plain make sense awhen you consider their added protection against headache and dizzyness from sun stroke, nausea from heat stroke, and lastly the shade they provide will limit eye strain.
Great harm can be done to the eyes from staring into direct sunlight for hours. If you are planning a trip to the beach with your family, you'll want fresh rested eyes in order to easily locate your family members at all times. Just as humid heat can make the air appear to waver, so can excessive eye strain and eye fatigue. Sunglasses provide your eyes with the relief they need in order to stay focused. Glare resistant sunglasses provide the additional benefit of breaking the contact between the eyes and the sun's glare. And let's not forget, less squinting means less fine wrinkles around the eyes!
Keeping your body hydrated is crucial for balancing exposure to wind and sun. The body sweats even when you don't feel moisture on your skin, but the sun combined with the wind adds an additional element to making your skin feel like you've been to the desert. Think of how the persistent sun and wind at the beach would dry a wet towel hanging on a clothesline. In just a short time, the towel is dry and stiff, evidence of the danger to the vulnerable skin layers covering you from head to toe.
Hand cleaning wipes
When access to bathroom facilities are not readily available, hand cleaning wipes solve a world of problems. They're great for cleaning off germs, sand, spilled sunscreen, or even excess suntan oil just to name a few; but the most common reason for packing them in a beach bag is to be available to can clean the family's hands before snacks or that great picnic lunch you packed. There are certainly many brands available to purchase at your favorite store, but it's just as easy to make your own, with this recipe.
Snacks or picnic lunch
Unless you've stopped at the beach for just a short visit, having a snack or some lunch is going to be on your mind eventually. Many beaches have food and drink concessions available, but many either do not or they are not in close proximity to the perfect spot you've found to lay down your beach blanket.
Foods that are not affected by heat are your best bet to bring to the beach. Using re-usable containers is preferable to wrappers and trash that may be caught up in the wind and carried away. Even if you aren't an unintentional litter bug, trash receptacles will quickly become overwhelmed if everyone at the beach brings their food in wrappings that are meant to be thrown away. Aside from being unsightly, the overflowing rubbish cans attract seagulls that pick at the wrappers of leftover food and leave behind the remaining odds and ends of debris that will then blow down the beach into the ocean or the protected sand dunes.
Aloe Vera gel
At the point where your skin starts to sting, you'll be glad you brought an option for sunburn relief. Aloe is a natural plant that has calming effects on irritated skin. Available in cream, lotion, and spray, it can be found alongside sunscreen products in your favorite store.
Even if you're not feeling the sting of over exposed skin, periodically try pressing a finger down on an area of skin that has been absorbing the sun. If the result is a contrast of white to pink or white to red, then the sunburn has already gotten started. Your skin will thank you later if you take the time to apply sunburn relief and cover up for the rest of that day's beach visit.
Book or Electronic Reader
If you've come to the beach to relax, then adding a book or e reader to your beach bag will give you something to do when you're not staring off into the mesmerizing waves and the view from the shoreline. A good 'beach read' novel is a favorite of many beach goers, because they are typically set in a coastal town, providing the reader with a relative storyline. The wind and the rhythm of the surf is so relaxing that it can make reading a book feel like you've stripped all of your worries and cares away.

Some parts of the state of Texas hadn't seen rain in months, but the skies decided to open up in Arlington on Saturday night during Game 1 of the ALCS. That didn't stop the Texas Rangers who survived two different rain delays in the fifth inning to beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 and take a 1-0 series lead.
The game started with Tigers' ace and likely Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander on the mound, but it would be the Texas offense that struck first. After Mike Napoli led off the second inning with a single, David Murphy hit an RBI triple that one-hopped the wall in right-center field that gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead. The Rangers weren't done there though as Ian Kinsler hit an opposite-field RBI single with two outs to put the Rangers up 2-0.
Rangers' starter C.J. Wilson struggled early, but got out of some big jams. With the bases loaded in the first inning, Wilson got Magglio Ordonez to ground into a double play to Adrian Beltre at third to keep the Tigers off the board. The Tigers had two on with only one out in the second inning, but Wilson got Brandon Inge to strike out and Austin Jackson to ground out to end the inning.
The Rangers kept the offense coming in the fourth inning as Nelson Cruz had just his second hit of the postseason but it was a solo home run to left off Verlander to extend the Rangers lead to 3-0. The Rangers wouldn't score anymore, but their bullpen would make it hold up.
In the top of the fifth inning, the rain hit Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The first rain delay lasted 41 minutes and Wilson returned to the mound with one on and one out. However Wilson struggled after the delay, giving up an RBI double to Jackson, back-to-back walks and a wild pitch that scored another run, and all of a sudden it was 3-2.
The rain came again before the top of the fifth inning was even over, this time a one hour and nine minute delay. The rain ended the night for both starting pitchers with neither of them making it through the fourth inning. Verlander took the loss, giving up three runs on five hits while striking out five in his four innings of work. Wilson pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on six hits with six strikeouts and five walks.
When play resumed, the Rangers called upon left-handed reliever Michael Gonzalez to get Alex Avila out with the bases loaded in a one-run game. Gonzalez did just that, getting Avila to ground out to second base to keep the game at 3-2. Alexi Ogando pitched the sixth and seventh innings with electric stuff, striking out three, and picked up the win in relief. It was the fourth time Ogando has beaten the Tigers this season with the other three wins coming as a starter.
Darren Oliver got his two guys out in the eighth inning and Mike Adams struck out his only batter of the night to end the eighth. Neftali Feliz came on in the ninth and struck out the side to pick up his fourth save in as many opportunities this postseason. His fastball reached 101mph as he blew away the Tigers' hitters to shut the door.
The bullpen came up huge for the Rangers, throwing 4 1/3 innings of shutout baseball with eight strikeouts. Game two of the ALCS is scheduled for Sunday night at 6:45 local time, but more rain is expected, so stay tuned.

Special Circumstances
Special Circumstances and Appeals for Additional Aid
Sometimes it may be necessary to review the family contribution and financial aid award for a student when changes occur in a student's family or in academic circumstances. Such reviews are conducted in response to a written request for an appeal from the student, in which the change in circumstances is described in detail, and submitted for consideration to the Office of Student Financial Services.
Income Reduction
The FAFSA collects information about a family's income and assets from the previous year (2013). For most people this information is a good predictor of the current year's (2014) income, since most people do not experience wide swings in income from year to year.
If, however, a family's income in the current year will be significantly different (more than 10 percent) from last year's, the family should notify the Office of Student Financial Services in writing, including all available documentation. Reductions in income that are caused by involuntary job loss, unusually high unreimbursed medical expenses, separation, divorce, death of a wage earner, or the like will be considered.
If a family's circumstances meet these criteria, the University will calculate the financial aid award based upon the estimated current year (2014) figures for the Fall semester. At the end of the Fall semester the family will be required to provide documentation (such as final pay stub or an estimated 2014 return) for evaluation of the spring semester's award.
Unfortunately, the University is not generally able to consider reductions in income due to voluntary job changes, back taxes owed, high consumer debt, multiple mortgages, employment bonuses received in the previous year, overtime, self-employment losses, fluctuations in income from commission sales, or discretionary purchases.
Divorce or Separation
When a married student separates from or divorces his/her spouse subsequent to the filing of the financial aid application, the divorcing/separating student should notify the Office of Student Financial Services in writing.
Sadly, the University occasionally is called upon to assist a student whose spouse has died subsequent to the filing of the financial aid application. Should this occur, the Office of Student Financial Services should be contacted immediately, and it will offer every assistance possible.
Other Appeals
The Office of Student Financial Services cannot consider proposals for a recalculation of financial aid eligibility based on any circumstances other than those listed above.

College Hockey:Copp, Hyman net two apiece as Michigan topples Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The No. 10 Michigan Wolverines didn't forget to bring their high-powered offense with them as they handed Penn State its ninth loss in Big Ten conference play, 7-3, on FRiday night.
The win gives Red Berenson his 784th win, making him the fourth winningest coach in NCAA Division I history.
The longest tenured coach in the Big Ten said that all the wins "just means I'm getting old."
Berenson added that the score didn't necessarily reflect the type of game it was.
"That was not a 7-3 game at ice level," Berenson said. "I thought [Penn State] outplayed us for the first five or six minutes."
The Nittany Lions did manage to outshoot the Wolverines by a 36-28 margin for the game, but could not prevent five different players from lighting the lamp.
Two first-period goals from J.T. Compher at 6:05 and Alex Guptill at 9:53 made it look like Michigan could handle whatever Penn State threw their way.
That all changed when Casey Bailey opened up the Lions' account at 2:59 of the second period.
With his fourth goal of the season, Baily said he feels like he his starting to get back to his form from last season after leading the team in points.
It didn't take long after the sense of optimism was restored by Bailey's goal of the season when Eric Scheid evened the score when he capitalized on a rebound left by Michigan goalie Zach Nagelvoort at 4:00.
For a moment, it even appeared that Penn State had scored three unanswered goals to start the second frame, but after a puck took a deflection off the post close to the goal line, a lengthy review by the officials determined that the puck did not cross the goal line.
Just seconds later, the Wolverines took the lead back after Andrew Copp scored his 11th of the season at 5:52.
Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky decided that was the time to make a goalie change as junior P.J. Musico replaced starter Eamon McAdam despite just a one-goal deficit.
The move left many in the Pegula Ice Arena scratching their heads, but Gadowsky felt momentum was on his team's side and knew exactly what he wanted to do.
"We just wanted to make a change and see what we could get going," Gadowsky said.
But the decision immediately backfired when Michigan's first shot at Musico got by him as Zach Hyman got his third goal of the season at 5:52 on a breakaway.
The furry of goals subsided for the rest of the period.
It wasn't until 7:07 of the third period when Michael Downing scored his second of the year for Michigan.
Even with a three-goal lead, the Wolverines kept their foot down, but couldn't convert on several chances. Like they have in previous games, the Lions didn't let up their offensive zone pressure and got a third goal as result.
Nagelvoort denied Jonathan Milley's shot, but Zach Saar hammered the ensuing rebound home for his third goal of the season.
Gadowsky pulled Musico for the extra attacker shortly thereafter, but once again, the decision went against his team as Hyman scored his second goal of the game with an empty-netter at 17:53.
Michigan managed to score again, this time with Musico back in net, as Copp added his second tally of the night at 18:43 of the third.
While the Wolverines extend their unbeaten streak to five games, the loss means the Nittany Lions are still without a win in the Big Ten so far this season.
"Once we get it, it will be a huge weight off our shoulders," Bailey said.

On the authority of Aboo 'Abbaas 'Abdullah the son of 'Abbass (RA), who said:
One day I was behind the Prophet (SAW) [riding on the same mount] and he said to me:
"Young man, I shall teach you some of words [of advice]:
Be mindful of Allaah, and Allaah will protect you.
Be mindful of Allaah, and you will find Him in front of you.
If you ask, ask of Allaah;
If you seek help, seek help of Allaah.
Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allaah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allaah had already prescribed for you.
The pens have been liffted and the pages have dried."
-It was related by at-Tirmithee, who said it was a good and sound Hadith.
In a version other than that of at-Tirmithee it reads:
" Be mindful of Allaah, you will find Him before you.
Get to know Allaah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity.
Know that what has passed you by was not going to befall you, and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship.

This was a must win game for the Yellow Jackets as both teams entered the game on Saturday 2-1 in the DAC Conference. Whoever won this game was still going to be in content to fight for the conference title. "I felt both teams were really flat the entire game. We were fortunate to execute when we needed to which helped us secure the victory" said Coach Scott. The Yellow Jackets went into halftime with a 13-0 lead and never looked back as the final score was 22-7.
Offensively the Jackets were able to run the ball but didn't show consistency throughout the game. "We had over 200 yards rushing but we still made some mistakes with the running game" added Coach Scott. At the start of the second half on the third play freshman Tanner Ehrlich ran for 56 yards and a touchdown to give the Yellow Jackets a 20-0 lead. The passing game was able to keep Dakota State honest by taking some shots over the top.
Defensively the Yellow Jackets did a great job of keeping the Trojans in front of them without starting All-American Safety Tanner Tetrault who was held out of the game with an injury. The Jackets stopped their running game and kept them at bay in the passing game. The Trojans did have one touchdown pass in the second half which gave them their only score on the afternoon.
"We weren't emotionally ready for the start of the game and throughout. We got lucky that the ball bounced our way to win the game. This week we have to be really focused and ready going into Jamestown who is still undefeated" added Coach Scott.

Indianapolis police officer kills ex-wife, self
Indianapolis police officer kills ex-wife, self; woman had protective order
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities say an Indianapolis police officer shot and killed his estranged wife, also an officer, and then turned the gun on himself.
Indianapolis Police Chief Rick Hite identified the two dead officers as Sgt. Ryan Anders and his ex-wife, Officer Kim Carmack.
Hite said at a news conference Thursday evening that the shootings occurred hours earlier at Carmack's home on the city's far west side. He says it appears Anders forced his way into her home through a rear entrance.
Hite says Carmack had a protective order against Anders and that Anders had been placed on administrative leave.

|Vandals Set for Aggies, 'Roos
MOSCOW, Idaho—The Idaho Vandals look to stay perfect in Western Athletic Conference play this weekend. Idaho will play host to New Mexico State on Friday and UMKC on Sunday at Guy Wicks Field.
"We are looking forward to getting two wins on Homecoming," head coach Pete Showler said.
The Vandals are coming off their first win of the season, defeating Grand Canyon 3-1 last Sunday. Junior midfielder Katie Baran led the team with three points (1g, 1a) and freshman Alyssa Pease scored her second goal of the season. The Vandals are 31-0-1 all-time when they score three or more goals.
New Mexico State (4-5-1, 1-1-0 WAC) will be coming to Moscow after opening up the WAC season with a weekend split with UMKC. The Aggies dropped last Friday's road match, 3-0, but turned around on Sunday and pulled out a 2-1 win over the 'Roos. Offensively the Aggies are led by senior midfielder Mary Kate Koziol and junior forward Layla Todd with five points each in 10 games. Keeper Jessica Schutter leads the conference with three shutout-victories. Idaho hold the series lead 2-1-1 over the Aggies. The last meeting between the two schools resulted in a 3-1 Idaho and propelled the Vandals into the WAC tournament.
"We do not know a whole lot about them [NMSU]," Showler stated. "They are always very athletic and very physical. We just have to come out and counter act that and come out and play our game."
UMKC (4-5-1, 1-1-0 WAC) will be making its first trip to Guy Wicks Field on Sunday. The two teams have not matched up in past season. Kansas City has only one common opponent with Idaho on the non-conference schedule. They dropped a home match to Creighton, 1-0, back on Sept. 10. The 'Roos are have relied on the foot of senior Taylor Bare in 2013. Bare, the school's all-time point leader, has recorded seven points (3g, 1a) this season.
Friday's match against NMSU is set for 4:00 p.m. PT, helping kickoff the Homecoming weekend. The Vandals will meet UMKC at 1:00 p.m. PT on Sunday.

In many cases, patients allergic to birch pollen also show allergic reactions after ingestion of certain fruits or vegetables. This observation is explained on the molecular level by cross-reactivity of IgE antibodies induced by sensitization to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 with homologous food allergens. As IgE antibodies recognize conformational epitopes, a precise structural characterization of the allergens involved is necessary to understand cross-reactivity and thus to develop new methods of allergen-specific immunotherapy for allergic patients. Here we report the three-dimensional solution structure of the soybean allergen Gly m 4, a member of the superfamily of Bet v 1 homologous proteins and a cross-reactant with IgE antibodies originally raised against Bet v 1 as shown by immunoblot inhibition and histamine release assays. Although the overall fold of Gly m 4 is very similar to that of Bet v 1, the three-dimensional structure of these proteins differ in detail. The Gly m 4 local structures that display those differences are also found in proteins from yellow lupine with known physiological function. The three-dimensional structure of Gly m 4 may thus shed some light on the physiological function of this subgroup of PR10 proteins as we as, in combination with immunological data, allow to propose surface patches that might represent cross-reactive epitopes.

Austin, Tex. - Stanford (32-25) moved on to Sunday's championship game of the 2006 Austin Regional with a wild 12-8 victory over defending national champion and No. 3 national seed Texas (41-20) in a winners' bracket game before a loud crowd of 5420 fans on Saturday at Disch-Falk Stadium. John Hester (2-4, HR, 4 RBI) hit his first career grandslam in the second inning and tied a career-high four RBI to help the Cardinal come back from an early 3-0 deficit, while Erik Davis recorded his third save of the season by thwarting a furious Longhorn rally in the seventh inning and pitching 2.1 hitless frames to preserve the Cardinal lead.
"Any time you get a big hit like that, it definitely lifts the spirit of the team," said Hester about his grandslam. "The fact that we were down by three and then gained the lead with one swing of the bat really turned the game around."
"It was a great game with many ups and downs," added Stanford head coach Mark Marquess, who moved into sole possession of 12th-place on the all-time win list for NCAA Division I coaches with his 1256th career victory. "I thought the key was John Hester's grandslam that put us right back in the game by putting us up a run. In the bottom of the eighth, those three runs we got were just huge. Overall, it was a great college baseball game, great crowd, good atmosphere and a big win for us."
Stanford will play at 4 pm, CT/2 pm, PT on Sunday against the winner of the day's first contest in an elimination game between North Carolina State (39-22) and Texas. A victory on Sunday for the Cardinal, who is playing in its eighth consecutive NCAA Regional title game, would move Stanford on to one of eight NCAA Super Regionals to be held Friday-Monday, June 9-12.
The trio of Jason Castro (3-4, 3B, 2 RBI), Chris Lewis (3-4) and Michael Taylor (3-4) combined for nine of Stanford's 16 hits and nine of the team's 12 runs with each player scoring three times and collecting three hits. Chris Minaker (2-5, RBI) also had a pair of hits while Jim Rapoport drove in a pair of runs.
Starter Nolan Gallagher (5-4) picked up the victory by lasting until two outs in the seventh inning despite allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
Carson Kainer (2-4, 2B, 4 RBI), Drew Stubbs (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI, SB), Chance Wheeless (2-5, RBI, SB) and Nick Peoples (2-3) had a pair of hits each with Stubbs and Wheeless also scoring a pair of runs.
Texas took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Kainer drilled a three-run double down the left field line after Peoples, Stubbs and Wheeless had put together three consecutive one-out singles to load the bases. Third base umpire Harry Greer gave an original signal that the ball was fair but ESPNU replies showed the ball clearly fair. Marquess came out of the Cardinal dugout to discuss the situation but the ball was ruled fair.
Hester gave the Cardinal a 4-3 lead with one swing of the bat when he drilled his grandslam well over the fence just to the left of the large scoreboard in leftcenter field. Taylor, Lewis and Castro had loaded the bases for Hester with three consecutive singles to start inning.
Stanford increased its lead to 5-3 when Minaker led off the third with a single, moved to second when Taylor was hit by a pitch and third on a sacrifice bunt from Chris Lewis before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Castro.
Texas got the run back when Preston Clark went deep in the fourth inning with a two-out solo shot over the left field wall.
Stanford gave itself some breathing room with a wild four-run fifth that saw the Cardinal score three unearned runs and send 10 batters to the plate. Taylor and Lewis started the inning with back-to-back singles on balls through the infield. Castro then hit a slow bouncing ball that Texas second baseman Bradley Suttle was unable to come up with and was charged with an error, allowing Taylor to score from second and leaving runners on first and second. Hester then hit a hard shot that ended up as an infield single when the ball took a bad hop and hit Peoples in the face, knocking the Longhorns' third baseman out of the game and loading the bases with no outs. Joseph Krebs (3.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 4 SO) then relieved Texas starter and losing pitcher Kyle McCulloch (8-5), who allowed nine runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks. Krebs struck out Randy Molina and got Rapoport to ground into a possible rally-ending double play, but the hard-hit ball ricocheted off the glove of Wheeless at first base and turned into a pair of unearned runs for the Cardinal when Lewis and Castro both came across to score. Krebs then walked Ryan Seawell to reload the bases before Grant Escue went down on strikes for the second out, but Minaker bounced an RBI infield single to shortstop to bring Hester home with the final run of the inning. Krebs finally got the Longhorns out of the inning when Taylor grounded out to end the inning with the bases loaded.
Texas roared back with a two-out four-run rally in the seventh. After Gallagher (6.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO) retired the first two batters he faced in the inning, Hunter Harris started the uprising with a two-out single to left. Gallagher then walked Clay Van Hook on four straight pitches and threw one ball before to Stubbs before being replaced by Matt Manship (0.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER), who wasn't able to get an out with all four runs scoring on three consecutive hits against him. Stubbs' hard-hit grounder to the left side of the infield turned into a two-RBI double that scored both Harris and Van Hook when it took a bad hop and bounced by Molina at third base. Wheeless and Kainer followed with back-to-back RBI singles to score Stubbs and Wheeler before Davis came on preserve a precarious 9-8 lead by getting Jordan Danks to fly out to left field to end the inning.
"It always feels good to come in during a situation like that and kill a rally," said Davis. "It means a lot that the coaches have the confidence to use me in that situation."
Stanford scored three insurance runs in the top of the eighth to regain the momentum and give Davis a four-run cushion in the ninth. Three consecutive singles from Taylor, Lewis and Castro brought Taylor across with the first run of the inning. Lewis and Castro then moved over to second and third on a wild pitch from Randy Boone (0.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 SO), who then struck out Hester before he was relieved by Austin Wood (0.1 IP, 2 H), who allowed back-to-back RBI singles to Molina and Rapoport to end the day's scoring.

College Hockey:Riverhawks Give Blaise First Win In Lowell
Third Period Explosion Gives MacDonald Win
LOWELL, MASS. — These aren't your parent's UMass-Lowell River Hawks.
Sporting a new-look offensive under first-year coach Blaise MacDonald, the River Hawks used an early third period explosion en route to a 7-3 season-opening victory over Niagara Friday night.
The new face of the River Hawks is a speed and quickness game from forwards matched with an offensive awareness from the defense that is a complete 180 from teams of years past.
The Lowell forwards consistently made the Purple Eagle defense look like revolving doors. And the Lowell blueliners stepped into the offense to notch three goals and five assists. No returning defenseman for the Hawks even posted double-digits in points last season.
All of this is part what MacDonald hopes is a fresh look for the Hawks.
"I look at the Lowell teams that were successful in the past and they had some great [offensive] production from the defensemen," said MacDonald, who ironically, even though the schedule was set well before his hiring, still opened his Hawks career against his former team, the Purple Eagles.
Leading the offensive push from the defense was captain Chris Gustafson matched with highly-touted rookie Baptiste Amar. Both players notched a goal and assist with Gustafson's giving Lowell a lead they wouldn't relinquish and Amar notching the game-winner.
"It's nice to get the monkey off the back," said Gustafson about scoring his first goal. In 104 games entering Friday, Gustafson had tallied only seven times.
Amar is the third player in four years to arrive at Lowell from France, joining sophomore Laurent Meunier and senior Yorick Treille. Certainly a recruiting gem for the Hawks, they could be hurt when all three report to the French national team for the 2002 Olympics this February.
As celebrative as the first win was for MacDonald and the River Hawks, on the other side was Niagara coach Dave Burkholder, a former associate head coach under MacDonald also coaching his first game.
Said Burkholder about meeting his former partner at Niagara and college teammate MacDonald: "All week I was pretty excited about [facing MacDonald in the opener], but when we got to game time, it was like, 'Oh boy, I guess I wish I wasn't coaching my first college game against him.'
"There were a lot of mixed emotions. One part of me was thinking of how I'd feel if I spoiled his home opener and then I thought, 'If he blows me out how am I going to feel.' I didn't know if we'd end up fighting in the parking lot."
Much to Burkholder's dismay, it was the River Hawks who gave their coach MacDonald the quick welcoming. Just 79 seconds into the game, Meunier fed a no-look pass into the slot to find defenseman Jerramie Dommish, who one-timed the puck past Eagles goaltender Rob Bonk (23 saves) for a 1-0 lead.
The defense was making contributions on just the first goal.
"It definitely helps [to score that early]," said MacDonald. "It makes you feel like you have a lot of freedom and spirit out there.
The Hawks nearly extended the lead at 6:35 when Amar's shot from the right point was deflected but Bonk was saved by the right post.
Lowell controlled play for the early part of the frame but its first defensive breakdown was costly. Niagara's Hannu Karru pushed a 2-on-1 pass from Rob Bumbaco through the legs of Jimi St. John at 11:17 to even the score at one.
Dave Hominuk was sent off for elbowing at 12:49 giving the Lowell special teams the opportunity to retake the lead. Geoff Schomogyi deflected a point shot by Gustafson over the left shoulder of Bonk at 13:38.
Early in the second, a Purple Eagle power play combined with a Lowell miscue allowed Niagara to again even the score. When St. John (14 saves) fanned on a clearing pass around the right faceoff circle, Nick Kormanyos was "Johnny-On-The-Spot" to bury the puck into the open net to tie the game at two.
Lowell had ample opportunities to regain the lead, as both Schomogyi and defenseman-turned-forward Kevin Kotyluk were stopped on breakaways in the early stages of the second.
Gustafson, though, finally did cash in with an unassisted tally at 12:41. After holding the puck in the zone after a Niagara clearing attempt, Gustafson fired a hard shot that Bonk kicked right back to the senior blueliner. This time, his shot back to the net moved through a tough screen and over the shoulder of Bonk to give the Hawks a 3-2 lead.
When asked if he picked the corner with the shot, Gustafson was quick to joke.
"You guys should know me better than that by now. I've been here four years."
Heading into the third period with a one-goal lead, it was an instant burst from the locker room that sealed the game. Amar began the scoring with a screen shot from the left point that beat Bonk over the shoulder for the fourth time just 36 seconds in.
36 seconds later, Peter Hay finished off a feed from Tom Rouleau in the low slot to give the Hawks a 5-2 edge.
At 5:11, Lowell connected again when Mark Concannon made a nifty move around Bonk after taking a pass from Ed McGrane to give the Hawks a four-goal cushion.
The teams would trade goals with Thomas Clayton picking up the Eagles' second power play goal of the night for Niagara and Rouleau finishing the scoring at 14:33.
With the Purple Eagles out of the way, Lowell will now attempt to take on similar but much different fowl when they travel to Boston College. The defending national champion BC Eagles hold a 15-game winning streak dating back to March 15, 1997.
That, though, doesn't deter a confident-sounding MacDonald.
"We're due," said MacDonald simply. "I think the players are extremely motivated for the challenge and opportunity to play Boston College, in particular on the road.
"I would be shocked if we didn't put forth an incredible effort."
