College Hockey:Massachusetts Pounds Connecticut
Minutemen Break Open Game in Third
AMHERST, Mass. — The first 13 minutes of the third period looked all too familiar for Massachusetts.
Protecting a 2-1 lead against Connecticut, the Minutemen afforded the Huskies two third-period power plays. After killing both off without much mettle from UConn, UMass added three late scores, cruising to a 5-1 win.
"Third periods are something that we've been trying to work on lately," UMass captain Brett Watson said. "They've haven't gone too great for us in the past."
The victory ended a two-game skid for the Minutemen, who have won six of their last seven against UConn.
Penalties were a constant for UMass on Friday. However, a minor midway through the first period ultimately resulted in the game-winning goal. With one second remaining on a Chase Langeraap holding minor, senior winger Chris Davis went off on a hooking call.
A loose puck rolled along the half-wall where UMass' Cory Quirk grabbed the puck and flipped it into the neutral zone; Berry anticipated the play and chased down Quirk's pass.
He skated in alone on UConn netminder Beau Erickson and faked on his backhand. Erickson drifted deep into his crease, leaving him without much of a chance when Berry shifted back to his forehand and tucked it under his glove. The goal, Berry's sixth of the season, gave UMass a 2-0 lead.
At 17 minutes, 58 seconds of the period, a Casey Wellman hit from behind put the Minutemen down a man and the Huskies capitalized. Junior Chris Ochoa beat UMass goaltender Paul Dainton on the blocker side to halve UMass' lead.
"The positive on the power play is that we're starting to create some opportunities. We weren't doing that earlier in the year," Marshall said. "We were kind of handcuffing ourselves on the power play, so now we're starting to create some of those things."
UConn had two power plays in the third period, but couldn't level the game before UMass' three-goal run in the final seven minutes. Recently, closing games has proved a challenge for the Minutemen. The momentum picked up from the third-period kills jump-started the UMass offense, allowing it to seal the victory.
"The penalty kill was solid all night long," UMass coach Don 'Toot' Cahoon said, who notched his 300th career win. "We did a good job of keeping them on the peripheral.
"We definitely got some momentum [off the penalty kill], but it hurts the team to have to kill so many penalties. We placed a real emphasis on cutting back on the penalties after the first period."
UMass freshman T.J. Syner started the game's scoring at 5:03 of the first period. A shot from junior defenseman Justin Braun bounced around the UConn zone before falling on Syner's stick in front of the crease. The goal was the first of Syner's career.
The Huskies have now lost their last two games and do not play again until Dec. 29 against No. 10 Air Force. UMass takes on another Atlantic Hockey opponent in American International next Friday at the Mullins Center.
"[The long layoff] is something we do every year," UConn coach Bruce Marshall said. "We usually end around this time, and then we have our tournament. We'll get it cranked about again after exams with a good hard week of practice."

"I Don't Do Kids"
Article by Mike Fullilove/Gulf Coast Clarion Call
We must be careful what we say we will or won't do. God often has diffrent plans.
Kevin Smart was happy singing in the adult choir at church, a solo here and there, just being in the flow of "grown-up" worship. As an earnest Christian, Kevin regularly sought the Lord's guidance for his life. He and wife Jenny committed their marriage and lives to serving the Lord. The Lord had big plans.
One day Jenny volunteered them to help fill a need with the pre-school children at church. "You're crazy," he told Jenny, "I don't do kids." But, he agreed to until the church found someone else. The uses of music was natural way to minister to the children, and Kevin could do that. So he sang to the childrren. It wasn't long before the children's pastor's wife cames to Kevin and told him, "I know you'r rather work somewhere else in the church, but these kids really love you."
He brushed it aside as just a compliment, but one evening shortly after, while at the kitchen sink washing dishes, Kevin heard the Lord clearly say, "My kids love you and they need you." He broke down and wept. He had heard clearly from the Lord.
While at a preschool training session one Sunday, Kevin learned how important it was that the children hear how precious they are to God and that they are special. The Lord soon gave him his first song for children, "You Are Precious." The Lord continued to give Kevin more songs. "I couldn't just sit down and write songs on my own," related Kevin. "They came from the Lord when He was ready to give them to me."
Shortly, Kevin put together his first nine songs on tape-Dinotrax "PreHistoric Preschool Praise and Worship." The tape sold about 600 tapes locally. He has continued to write and catalog songs over the years as the Lord gave them to me."
Total committment to the children didn't come right away. kevin still enjoyed singing solos with the adult choir in church. He was trying to split time. A little over a year after first beginning to work with the children, the Lord chided Kevin that he wasn't committed to "His kids." That was eleven years ago.
Kevin committed to the children and trained under then "Kid's Power and Light" children's pastor, Carl Lindelien, at Cedar Lake Christian Assembly in Biloxi, MS. The children began to melt his heart, and the Lord told Kevin that He would give him a ministry to children like Ken Blount, the character Nicodemus of the Gospel Bill Show.
But all was not quiet and peaceful on the Smart homefront. Kevin and Jenny were having to learn to wait on the Lord in many ways. The primary struggle behind the scenes was the sever medical problems of their oldest son, Jeff. Jeff has Dandy-Walker Syndrome, a condition involving a fluid-filled cyst at the base of the brain. The cyst cannot be removed because the area is part of mornal brain funciton. Jeff's condition has required 42 surgeries so far during his lifetime to correct shunt hardware problems or infection. "When his shunt malfunctions, he has constant, severe headaches," Jenny said, "and if left uncorrected can be life-threatening."
"We committed to serve the Lord from the beginning, and the Lord has shown us from the beginning that He would be with us," said Kevin. "Jeff's condition is rare to begin with, but when the shunt is working properly Jeff can function quite normally," continued Jenny. He has been a puzzle to the doctors for the years.
"In the mids of turmoil God calls His children," shared Kevin. "God has told us our son will be okay. We all have tried to keep focused on Jesus." Despite all his problems, Jeff, soon to be 17, feels he has been called to be a youth pastor.
Kevin Smart took early retirement from the Air Force in 1994 to come on staff as Associate Children's Pastor at Cedar Lake Christian Assembly. On December 31, 1997, he resigned that position to pursue his children's music ministry full time.
"The opportunity of a lifetme must be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity." Words by Leonard Ravenwood which Kevin first heard at the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola. The words stuck. "Now is the time to do the music," the Holy Spirit said early in 1998. He must make a CD. He discovered that would cost about $3500 to make that CD. After seeking godly counsel, he turned it over to the Lord and prayed. Six hours later, one of the recording companies called Kevin and siad they would do the recording for free, but that Kevin would have to come up with the money to produce 1,000 CDs. The Lord provided the funds in short order. The Lord provided the funds in short order.
"If You Love Jesus, Moo Like a Cow" was made received air on WAOY 91.7 American Family Radio in Gulfport, MS, and Kevin sent a copy to Tim Wildmon with AFR in Tupelo, MS. Tim invited Kevin up for an appearance on "Today's Issues," AFR's morning talk show, giving the "Moo LIke A Cow" CD national exposure.
Shortly before that appearance, while in Chattanooga, TN for one of Jeff's many surgeries, Kevin called Johnny Barranco of "Freedom Kids Records" in Nashville, to whom he had also sent a "Moo" CD. Later Barrnaco called back later saying, "We need to do this!" Kevin signed a four year contract for eight projects with "Freedom Kids Records" in August 1998.
Another high point for Kevin came after sending a copy of the "Moo" CD to Ken Boone, who has a nationally broadcast children's radio show called "We Kids," and asked permission to oused one of Kevin's songs on his show.
Johnny Barranco liked what he saw and heard in Kevin Smart's work so much, he asked him to develop a pilot for thirty minute children's radio show. The pilot has been recorded and will be marketed as "Freedom Kids Radio."
"God is great," says Kevin. "He blesses when you obey and surrender to His will. We have been truly blessed We must continue to exhibit pure faith in God...like the little children."

Divided council backs plan for senior apartments
Despite concerns, developer gets OK to convert condos
While still not entirely the condominium development they had wanted, enough aldermen said Tuesday that a subsidized senior housing development proposed for 62nd and State streets was better than the existing vacant lot on that site.
The Common Council voted, 9-4, to approve changing plans for an 82-unit building from ownership condos to rental apartments for low-income seniors. The apartments would serve as the first phase of what's envisioned as a three-building development called Stone Pointe by developer David Israel. The other two buildings are supposed to go up as condos, but it is uncertain when they would be built.
The development had been a topic of debate among the council and its committees for several weeks, and the debate continued for more than an hour leading up to the final vote.
Backers: Project fills a need
Those in support of the project change said the apartments would serve a demographic that is looking for affordable housing. The apartments also would be conveniently located near in Israel's development of grocery and retail stores and restaurants along State Street.
Alderwoman Cheryl Berdan said taking her mother to the site and getting her opinion that it would make a good setting for senior apartments helped convince her to support the project.
In addition, she wanted to see housing for people in a variety of tax brackets and said the state tax credits the developer intends on applying for to help fund the project could help further the financial diversity in the city.
Alderman Thomas Herzog said he wanted to give seniors a place in Wauwatosa to live comfortably. In addition, the $650 to $925 per month rent that would be charged was still a significant amount for people on Social Security, he said.
Concerns about location
But aldermen opposed to allowing senior apartments as part of Stone Pointe said they weren't sold that people would want to live behind the Grede Foundries plant, located just south of the site.
Alderman Michael Walsh said he served lunch at Hart Park Senior Center in the past week and did an informal poll of members. They all wanted to stay in their houses as long as possible and if they had to leave, they wanted to remain in Wauwatosa. But when he asked if they would consider living on that site, the answer was a definite "no."
Scope of project has changed
Walsh also was troubled by "how much the project has deviated from its original concept."
Initially, Israel said the first building would require an investment of $20 million, but the city assessor has said tax credits will bring that number down to about $5 million and will significantly reduce the amount of tax revenue the city will receive.
Alderman Peter Donegan said he was not willing to give up that much tax revenue at a time when expanding the city's tax base is one of few ways to bring in revenue.
He also said putting up low-income housing would deter developers from investing in nearby properties.
"That may be an ugly thing about our marketplace, but it's true," Donegan said. "We may be condemning the entire site to underutilization."
Herzog disputed Donegan's statement, saying that while the apartments will serve low-income seniors, they will have a high-quality appearance. Having a developer who is familiar to the city and has already made significant investments in the neighborhood should help ensure the success of the project, he said.
Alderman Robert Dennik cautioned residents watching the meeting that the council's approval of the plan amendment was not the last hurdle developers will face. Applications for state housing tax credits are due Friday, and the amount of money to be dispersed is unknown.
If the project does receive the subsidies, the building materials have to receive Design Review Board approval and the council must sign off on a developer's agreement.
How the Wauwatosa Common Council voted on whether to approve the Stone Pointe development proposal:
In favor: Cheryl Berdan, Robert Dennik, Brian Ewerdt, Thomas Herzog, Dennis McBride, Eric Meaux, Linda Nikcevich, Jerry Stepaniak and Jason Wilke
In opposition: Don Birschel, Peter Donegan, James Krol and Michael Walsh
Absent: Tim Hanson, Jacqueline Jay and Linda Organ

College Hockey:Back from suspension, Boston College's Hayes out for season after quadriceps surgery
Boston College junior forward Kevin Hayes, just back from a team-imposed suspension, suffered a contusion to his right quadriceps muscle during Tuesday night's game against Massachusetts-Lowell and underwent surgery Wednesday to release pressure on the area.
According to a BC-issued news release, the surgery involved release of fascia to prevent long-term damage to the muscle and was performed by a vascular surgeon at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton, Mass.
Now in stable condition, Hayes will miss the remainder of the season during the recovery process.

Playstation Network is still down, no end in sight
Anonymous claims it wasn't behind the attack
JAPANESE GAMES CONSOLE MAKER Sony is facing more problems after its Playstation Network was hacked and taken offline, with no estimate in sight for recovery.
The company confirmed that its network was the victim of an "external intrusion" and that it voluntarily put it offline while it works on a fix for the problem.
However, it's been nearly a week since the first signs of the hacking appeared and the network remains down, with users greeted by error messages and notifications about maintenance and suspended services.
It is widely believed that the hacktivist group Anonymous was behind the attack, but the group denied this, saying that some of its supporters might have acted alone. Anonymous launched a campaign against Sony recently after the company sued George Hotz, the man who jailbroke the Playstation 3. That lawsuit has since been settled.
Anonymous claims that Sony is taking advantage of the situation, blaming its members for what it says is an internal problem on Sony's servers.
In its most recent status update Sony said that it was still working on bringing its Playstation Network and Qriocity services back online, but that it doesn't have a timeframe for how long that might take. The company thanked its users for their patience.
Gamers are furious over the outage, which coincides with the release of the highly anticipated Portal 2 game. The Easter holidays would have seen many of the 70 million accounts on Sony's network active and the BBC reports that some of these gamers might expect compensation for the loss of service. µ

In the 1970s, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, CA, pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-Boys paved the way to what is now referred to as "extreme sports," and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become a worldwide counterculture phenomenon. But all of this fame would take its toll on the friendships that they thought would last a lifetime, as the sport that started out as an afternoon hobby turned into big business.

Savvymom.ca was conceived over a couple of non-fat lattes, when two former university roommates, Sarah and Minnow, met for a coffee. Known as the go-to moms in their circles and inspired by their own experiences as moms to five children between them, they started to imagine what kind of resource could help with the ever-present challenges of modern-day motherhood.
These moms were too savvy (definition of savvy: practical know-how) to let their ideas remain in utero. The birth of a new company was inevitable, and nine months later, savvymom.ca—now Canada's top online resource for moms—was born.
Here's the background on our SavvyMom founders.
It takes a whole team to bring SavvyMom to our readers and these are the savvy moms who make it happen.
Our savvy scribes keep our readers across Canada informed, connected and entertained every week.

I'm trying to set up remote console redirection on a few Dell boxes and I was wondering if there were anyway to turn that on without rebooting the machine and going into the BIOS. Has anyone ever done anything like this?
If you have the Dell OMSA tools installed, you can make updates to the BIOS from within the running OS. I'm more familiar with the Linux CLI version of the tools (look for commands like "omreport" and "omconfig"), but you should be able to make similar changes on Windows systems as well.
I think you are going to have to reboot. Setting up the console redirection requires, at minimum, a kernel command line option, and maybe BIOS tweaks.
Does the server have a DRAC? If so, there is an article here about how to set it up.

I'm Proud of Mark Wahlberg
by Brent on November 15th 2013 at 9:16 am
- Comments off
Good on ya, Mark Wahlberg.
I read a few articles this week regarding Mark's conduct at the premiere of his latest film 'Lone Survivor' and I was proud to call myself a fan.
After being asked about his experience shooting the film, which gives an account of an actual Navy SEAL mission gone wrong, Mark downplayed any difficulties he might have faced on set with these humble words:
"For actors to sit there and talk about, 'Oh I went to SEAL training,' I don't give a f--- what you did," he said. "I don't give a s--- if you're getting your ass busted. You get to go home at the end of the day, you get to go to your hotel room, you get to order f---ing chicken."
And he's exactly right.
Although we consider acting to be a prestigious and culturally important job, it is at the end of the day, a bit of pretending for fun and entertainment, and can be in no way comparable to the work of that of a soldier. Actors and actresses may sometimes have to step out of their comfort zones in order to prepare for a role, which presumably for this film, would have been some pretty strenuous military style training.
But the fact is, the actors would have done a bit of hard work before returning to a luxurious trailer or Hollywood mansion at the end of the day with the option to "order f---ing chicken", as Mark puts it. Not to mention the recognition and money they'll get for their time, which a soldier, especially a Navy SEAL in such a secretive position, would certainly not dream of, unless of course something goes terribly wrong, as in this case.
Somebody needs to keep our prized celebrities in check. So good on you Mark Wahlberg, stay humble.
Check out the trailer for Lone Survivor, here.
If you liked that, you'll appreciate the words and video below.

DALLAS — Nearly 130 laundry professionals, including more than 50 CEOs and executives representing more than 80% of commercial healthcare-sector laundry production, took part in the Healthcare Conference and CEO/Executive Roundtable hosted here last month by the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA).
The conference and industry-specific roundtable provided a forum for textile services operators serving hospitals, medical centers and nursing homes to share information and discuss the latest trends impacting the healthcare business.
Internationally recognized health futurist and medical economist Jeffrey Bauer began the conference by providing his views on the future of healthcare reform and delivery, opining that healthcare will change more in the next decade than it has in the past 50 years. "To survive, healthcare providers and their supply chain partners must fix how medical service is delivered by focusing on improving efficiency and effectiveness," he says.
Bauer discussed opportunities specific to textile services, such as direct sales and service to home care patients, reinventing garments based on emerging patient needs, joint ventures with product and service providers, and linking laundry services directly to green initiatives.
His theme of change and adaptation continued throughout the conference with break-out sessions focusing on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), contracting, outsourcing, infection control, linen life and disposables.
The conference closed with panel discussions involving equipment manufacturers and healthcare textile services CEOs. The first panel covered new tunnel washer technology with each manufacturer—G.A. Braun, Ellis Corp., Girbau Industrial, Jensen USA, Kannegiesser USA, Lavatec Laundry Technology and Pellerin Milnor Corp. were represented—highlighting benefits and features of their products specific to the healthcare sector.
The CEO panelists—Dave Van Vliet of Angelica Corp., Randy Bartsch of Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service, Jeff Berstein of ImageFirst Healthcare Laundry Specialists, David Stern of Paris Cos., and Michael Potack of Unitex Textile Rental Services—discussed their views on healthcare sector-related challenges, competition, customers, products and certification.
They emphasized the impact of the consolidation of healthcare providers and group purchasing organizations, the need to quantify the sustainability and cleanliness of commercial laundering, and the importance of investing in machinery and technology to increase productivity and efficiency to meet growing pricing pressures.
TRSA has committed to conducting the Healthcare Conference and CEO/Executive Roundtable annually, with the next event scheduled for next November in Philadelphia.

Fellow Bruins,
With the last men's basketball regular season game now complete, I wanted to once again thank everyone, including so many of you, who helped support the team during the Bruin Road Show.
Our gracious hosts at all three of the venues we called home, the Los Angeles Sports Arena, the Honda Center and Citizens Business Bank Arena, literally rolled out the Bruin Blue carpet for us all season long and made us feel so welcome.
In addition, I would like to thank the students in the Den and the members of the band and spirit squad who juggled class schedules and were there every step of the way despite any challenges they faced. Finally, you, the fans, made the trek to downtown LA, as well as to Orange and San Bernardino Counties to cheer on your beloved Bruins, and we are grateful for that.
Thank you as well to all of you who have supported the various UCLA volleyball, basketball and gymnastics teams who have called the Wooden Center home this school year. The dynamic, energetic and often near-capacity crowds have created an amazing atmosphere for those sports that have played there.
I can assure you that, despite the inconveniences that you may have endured this year, when we move back into Pauley for next season, you will all be richly rewarded for your patience.
Pac-12 Hoops Tourneys Both in LA This Week
After a mixed bag of results on the weekend, the men's and women's basketball teams each earned the fifth seed and will open the Pac-12 tournament minutes apart tomorrow afternoon here in LA.
After a regular season split against Arizona, Cori Close and her women's team will take on the Wildcats in a first round rubber match at 2:15 pm at the Galen Center. A win in that matchup pits them against fourth-seeded Arizona State in Thursday's quarterfinals, also at 2:15 pm.
Ben Howland and the men, meanwhile, will face crosstown rival USC, whom they swept in the regular season, at 2:30 pm at Staples Center. With a win in that game, they would face Arizona on Thursday afternoon in the quarterfinals.
Tickets for both tournaments are still available by calling the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310-UCLA-WIN or ordering online here.
Marathon Kids' Final Mile at Drake
This Saturday morning will mark the final mile celebration for the Los Angeles Marathon Kids program at Drake Stadium. 29,000 kids in kindergarten through fifth grade, along with their parents and teachers, will be eligible to celebrate the completion of their 26.2-mile journey to a healthier lifestyle. The children have been running/walking a marathon in increments of ¼ to ½ mile at a time over six months and have also been challenged to eat 26.2 days a month of 5-a-day fruits and veggies over that same time. Many of our student-athletes volunteer with this program and will be there on Saturday morning to cheer on the participants during their final mile.
Four Bruins Teams Sit atop the Rankings
For the second consecutive week, we have a national-best four teams ranked No. 1 in the nation: Women's Golf, Women's Tennis, Men's Volleyball and Women's Water Polo. We also have three other Top 5 teams in No. 3 men's tennis, No. 3 gymnastics and No. 5 men's golf. While the seasons are far from over, it's always a great source of pride to see our teams so high in the national rankings.
UCLA Plays USC in Dodgertown Classic March 13
For the past couple of seasons, our baseball team has had the amazing opportunity to play at Dodger Stadium in the Dodgertown Classic. This year's game will be next Tuesday, March 13 at 6:30 pm against USC. Tickets are on sale now. If you purchase tickets in advance through our Central Ticket Office, they cost just $5, and parking will be free. Tickets purchased at Dodger Stadium on the day of the game will cost $12, so you'll want to get your tickets early. If you've ever wanted to check out Dodger Stadium or a Bruin baseball game, or both, and haven't yet had a chance to, this is a perfect time to do so.
Finley Earns Prestigious Scholarship
I am extremely proud of UCLA softball player Brooke Finley. The senior, who has already made plans to study sports law after her days at UCLA are complete this spring, was recently awarded one of 26 postgraduate scholarships (worth $6,000 apiece) as part of the NCAA's annual Ethnic Minority and Women's Enhancement Scholarship program. I was not the least bit surprised when I heard that Brooke had been awarded one of the scholarships; in addition to being one of our top student-athletes academically, she is a member of the Bruin Athletic Council and a Student-Athlete Mentor.

Ask Dan Guerrero
Q: Why was UCLA football Pro Day closed to public, media and player families?
Sam Mendoza, Downey
A: Thank you for the question, Sam. Head Football Coach Jim Mora wanted to give the participating players a distraction-free environment without any outside media, agents, family members and fans. Since he is a former NFL coach with 25 years of experience at that level, I trust that he knows what is best for this particular setting, and he never wavered in his belief that it should be closed. Coach Mora and his staff informed the student-athletes a few weeks ago that the Pro Day was going to be closed to all outside parties, and I, as the athletic director, stand by his decision.
Thank you all for your submissions - please know that each question submitted was read, and please don't forget to submit a question to firstname.lastname@example.com this week.
Go Bruins!
Dan Guerrero
Director of Athletics, UCLA

On Deck This Week
No. 2 UCLA (26-2, 6-1 MPSF) hosts No. 4 USC (23-3, 5-2 MPSF) on Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPNU on a delayed basis later that evening (9:30 p.m.). UCLA, Pacific and Stanford are tied for first at 6-1 in the MPSF with one game remaining. USC is currently in fourth at 5-2 in league play.
Spieker is Sold Out!
Tickets for the UCLA-USC men's water polo game on Nov. 21 at Spieker Aquatics Center have sold out. Limited seating for UCLA students will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
For those unable to attend, the game will be televised delayed on ESPNU at 9:30 p.m.
Series Meetings
UCLA is 74-76-1 all-time vs. USC. The Bruins defeated the Trojans 9-8 in the finals of the NorCal Invitational (Sept. 22), snapping USC's 41-game winning streak. USC then posted a 12-11 double overtime win in the finals of the SoCal Invitational (Oct. 13). The last five meetings between the two teams have been decided by one goal, including last year's NCAA title game (11-10).
Recapping Last Week
The No. 2 UCLA men's water polo team extended its league-leading winning streak (tied with Stanford) to eight games with a 10-8 win at No. 7 Pepperdine and a 10-7 home win over No. 6 UC Santa Barbara last week. Redshirt freshman Garrett Danner recorded a career-best 14 saves in the win over UCSB while he had 13 at Pepperdine. Paul Reynolds led the Bruins with a total of five goals in the two victories.
Beating the Best
UCLA has beaten every other Top 10 team in the country in 2013 and 13 of this week's Top 20. The third-ranked Bruins have already defeated No. 1 Pacific, No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 USC, No. 5 California, No. 6 UC Santa Barbara, No. 7 Pepperdine, No. 8 Long Beach State, No. 9 UC Irvine and No. 10 UC San Diego.
Defensive Dynamos
The Bruins' defense has been stellar for most of the season, allowing only USC, Pacific and Concordia to score more than eight goals. USC put 12 on the board in a 12-11 double overtime win in the finals of the SoCal Invitational (Oct. 13), Concordia lost 15-11 at UCLA on Nov. 1 and Pacific suffered a 12-10 loss at UCLA on Oct. 27. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Garrett Danner leads the MPSF in goals against average (5.68 gaa) while UCLA leads the MPSF, allowing just 5.18 gpg.
Freshman Forces
UCLA freshmen are making huge contributions in 2013. In addition to redshirt freshman goalkeeper Garrett Danner, there are six more freshmen playing heavy minutes. The freshmen account for 37.9 percent of the team's scoring (150-of-396 goals). Freshman Lovre Milos is second on the team with 36 goals. Freshman Ryder Roberts is 5th on the team in scoring (30 goals) while freshman Gordon Marshall is 6th on the team in scoring with 26 goals. Freshmen Jack Fellner (21 goals) and Chancellor Ramirez (16 goals) are 10th and 12th, respectively, in scoring. Redshirt freshman Alec Zwaneveld is tied for 13th with 14 goals. Roberts is currently 2nd on the team in assists (40) while Danner (54) and Roberts (35) lead in steals.
Danner Climbing The Charts
Redshirt freshman Garrett Danner ranks sixth on the UCLA single season lists with 217 saves. He needs seven to move into a tie for fifth (Mike Van Der Waerdt, 224, 1998); nine to move into fourth (Chuck Brown, 225, 1986) and 11 to move into third place (Brandon Brooks, 227, 2002. Additionally, his 5.68 goals against average ranks as the fifth-best in a single season (only Brandon Brooks (1999 & 2000) and Chay Lapin (2006 & 2009) have had lower averages).
Against Ranked Teams
The Bruins are 20-2 (.909) against ranked teams in 2013. On the season, UCLA has outscored its opposition by 8.93 goals per game (395-145, 14.11-5.18 gpg). The Bruins are outscoring ranked teams by 6.55 goals per game (269-125, 12.23-5.68 gpg).
Wright On Deck For Year Five
The Bruins are led by fifth-year head coach Adam Wright, who has compiled a 121-25 (.829) record, including a 32-9 (.780) mark in MPSF action. He won his 100th game earlier this year with the 10-4 victory over No. 6 UC Santa Barbara in the quarterfinals of the SoCal Tournament (Sept. 21). Wright played at UCLA from 1997-2000, leading the Bruins to NCAA Championships in 1999 and 2000. He played for the USA National Team in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics, leading Team USA to a silver medal in 2008 in Beijing. Wright played for the National Team in every major international tournament from 2001-12. He has guided the Bruins to two MPSF Tournament titles and three runner-up finishes at the NCAA Tournament in his four complete seasons at the helm. In 2009 and 2011, UCLA won the MPSF Tournament title. He has guided the Bruins to the title match of the NCAA Tournament in three of his four seasons (2009, 2011, 2012). Wright was named MPSF Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading UCLA to the MPSF Tournament title and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Tournament.

Euge Groove was part of the group Tower of Power and has played with countless other top artists in the music business.

The other musicians include: Tracy Carter on Fender Rhodes and piano, Cornelius Mims on bass, John "Jubu" Smith on guitar, Trevor Lawrence on drums.

Peter White does his usual fine job on guitar on the song Rain Down On Me. Euge Groove blends his saxophone so beautifully with the vocalists on the album. Other notable songs include: Miss Bane, Tango in Tio, Groovin Up Hip Street and Got 2 Be Groovin'. Euge Groove hits the mark on the bullseye with this one.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation issued a cease and desist order against Harold Barclay, an Amarillo plumber, to prevent him from doing air conditioning and heating work.
The agency issued the order March 16 after investigators discovered Barclay's Yellow Pages advertisement said "C.B. Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning."
The ad includes a license number, M15956, but that is not a license to do heating and air-conditioning work, said TDLR spokesman Patrick Shaughnessy. The "M" number is a plumber's license, Shaughnessy said.
"It doesn't certify that he is qualified to do air-conditioning or heating work," he said.
People who work on air-conditioning systems must demonstrate 36 months experience in the last five years and pass a test, he said.
"He did not have that license. He had not demonstrated the proficiency necessary to do the work," he said.
Globe-News telephone calls to Barclay were not returned.

Blood Orange Cocktail
Submitted By: The Hungry Mouse
2 oz. vodka
1/4 oz. triple sec
1/4 oz. simple syrup
2 1/2 oz. blood orange juice
Juice 2-3 blood oranges. Strain the juice to remove any pulp.
Cut a thin strip of peel for a garnish. Scrape the white pith off the back of them. Curl it around your finger to give it a little shape.
Fill your cocktail shaker about a quarter full with ice. Add the vodka, triple sec, simple syrup, and blood orange juice to the shaker. Cap the shaker and shake vigorously to chill.
Strain into a 6-oz. martini glass. Garnish with a twist of blood orange peel.
Serve and enjoy!
*A note on simple syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts white sugar and water that's been boiled, then cooled. It's a fast and easy way to sweeten drinks on the fly. I always keep a bottle in the fridge.
Here are step-by-step instructions for how to make it: The Hungry Mouse

Police Make Grisly Finding in Bushwick Park
An "apparent fetus."

When tested on Speedtest.net or something like that, my download speed was less than one megabit per second over my family's secure Wi-Fi connection.
The router is a Linksys 802.11b 2.4GHz router and like 2 or 3 years old.
Is it outdated/old and should I replace it, or is there something I'm doing wrong? It takes a good 6 or 7 minutes to download a 5.5 MebiByte song. Is that typical?

September 2, 2003
Hello everybody,
It is my first time writing to you personally. I'm from Israel, and as you all already know, this is my second season at UCLA. This summer was different from any other summer that I experienced.
Two days after my last school final, I flew home to join the Israeli Junior National Team and to prepare for the semi-final of the European championship for Under-21s. Rather than going to parties and tanning at the beach, I had practices every day with games and camps. For me it felt so much like last season. However, I really liked the fact that I could show my coach and teammates what I have learned over here. My dad surprised me and joined us for the semi-final, and his presence there was awesome!
For me, going home means traveling almost to the other side of the world. Between practices and camps, I tried to find the time to spend with my lovely family and friends. My mom and I spent a lot of hours talking, which I missed so much while I was here. I also have four younger brothers and one sister, and I gave almost every free minute I had to them. I already miss their cute faces. My best friend (Tali) and I had so much fun together, which made the summer even greater.
Even though my free time was short, my family and friends gave me so much energy that I know I will be able to use over this year. My teammates, my friends and my family here make it so much easier for me to feel at home. I'm really thankful I get the chance to be a part of a wonderful group of people.
Right now I'm in summer school, and I'm taking classes in theater and air pollution. I'm renting an apartment with a friend of mine outside the campus, and for me it's my first time managing with money and paying rent. It is really funny because now I actually think before I turn on the lights, and you can find me reading and studying with a candle just to save money (just kidding).
So basically, my summer has been great, and I'm really excited to start up everything again. Like any other time, I'm ready for the challenge, so bring it baby!!!
I hope to see all of you at the games because we have something very special this year. As my teammates say, Holler!!!
Ortal Oren #00

Enterprises have particular requirements relating to events projected inside their network perimeter. ON24 offers advanced support for these requirements in the following areas:
- Media Distribution behind the firewall
- Media Distribution across a diverse mix of networks with different capabilities and requirements
- Security of content
- Authentication of participants utilizing corporate Active Directory and similar directory structure
Media Distribution
Large Enterprises have many requirements in supporting webcasts and virtual environments within the network infrastructure:
- Methods to limit the bandwidth demands of streaming media distribution into and over the corporate network
- Support for different media distribution methods in various portions of the network. The corporate network is typically not a homogenous whole, but made up of interconnected networks with different capacities, capabilities and levels of utilization. Each may require a different strategy to accommodate the traffic loads.
- High level of control by the Network Engineering staff; the use must be very well controlled and not subject to issues arising from the vagaries of user selection.
Media Distribution Behind The Firewall
The most commonly used methods for distributing streaming media across a bandwidth-constrained corporate network include the options listed below. ON24 provides consoles which support Windows Media, Flash Media, and Apple HTTP Live Streaming for iOS devices.
Transparent Proxies
ON24 supports Cisco WAAS distribution capabilities, either directly from ON24 external servers or by means of internally located Head End servers. Bluecoat Proxy SG appliances support streaming media distribution very effectively; ON24 supports these devices as well.
Unicast Replication
ON24 supports use of Microsoft Windows Media Servers (2003 and 2008) configured for replicating unicast streams into each location in a corporate network. This solution has the virtue of having very highly determinant behavior. Distribution is tightly constrained, and behavior highly predictable. ON24 also supports Flash Media Server for unicast replication in the distribution of live Flash video.
Riverbed Technology has its RSP platform, which provides the ability to locate media servers on Steelhead appliances; this readily supports ON24's Unicast Replication and multicasting capabilities.
ON24 supports multicasting utilizing Microsoft Windows Media Server for those organizations having multicast enabled networks. Multicasting utilizing live Flash video will be supported in Q2, 2012 using Adobe Flash Media Server.
Peer-to-peer methods
ON24 supports Kontiki and Octoshape peer-to-peer media distribution for those organizations having these technologies deployed. ON24 also resells Octoshape technology.
ON24 distribution solutions support and address the requirements of VPN users. Split tunneling support is provided. IP Addresses of dedicated server pools are available to address requirements for known IP addresses.
Different Methods in Portions of the Network
ON24 enables the detection of internal or external IP addresses and provides a data structure into which the network engineering personnel can load a database of network address ranges, each of which can be associated with a playlist. This allows all users in a given network address range to be provided a particular stream speed, an audio vs. a video stream, or be directed to a non-streaming version of the event.
Different languages can be supported, and higher or lower quality video streams, based on the ability to the network range to carry the traffic. Portions of the audience can be supported with multicast stream distribution, while other ranges can utilize unicast replication, or peer-to-peer, or normal CDN stream distribution.
Console Based Network Performance Information
ON24 implements console code which reports observations of the media player as to buffering behavior to the Media Metrics module. This provides real time and after-the-fact reporting of actual starvation for bits by media players in the network. This can prove an invaluable aid in characterizing issues with streaming media delivery.
ON24 provides various grades of security, depending upon the application for which the webcasting or virtual environment platform is being used:
The two methods above rely on Registration Security, which provides the following capabilities:
Referring URL Authentication
This approach checks the HTTP header referring URL information when the event is accessed and validates it against an approved list provided by the customer. ON24 can set up a "referrer" pattern to limit access only to users that link from a web page on a specific domain.
Event Passwords
Webcast events can be assigned a password that is then required for access to the event. The password field can be enabled anywhere on the registration page. If the client is handling registration, event passwords can be passed to the ON24 system.
Individual passwords
Attendees of webcasts can be assigned unique passwords that are required to access the event. The password can either be chosen by the user during registration or dynamically assigned via the registration confirmation email. Additionally, a further restriction can be put in place to limit the sharing of credentials during a live event.
ON24 can block out groups of users based upon IP address. For example, if a corporation does not want any outside groups to view the webcast, ON24 can admit a range of IP addresses specific to the corporate gateways blocking other addresses.
Domain Block
ON24 can whitelist select domains and block all others during registries to restrict access to a webcast. The link to the webcast is only available in the registration confirmation email.
- "Network Perimeter" Security – this common method of securing access to content implements restrictions which have the effect of blocking access to media or static content for anyone not operating inside the corporate firewall, either directly or by virtue of a VPN connection.
- Single Sign On/SAML – This provides a method for securely accessing the internal LDAP/Active Directory system to identify which individuals are to be provided access to an event or virtual environment. As cloud-based services have become common, large enterprises have embraced SAML as a simple method to preserve the effectiveness of its HR-based procedures to exclude non-employees from access to systems.

Who do you like her to go with? ^^ I think i prefer her to be with Arata, that megane hottie. But seeing Taichi, I kinda don't know who to choose... @_@ Both of them are all handsome~

i think he would end up with arata if there is such thing as ending up here in the manga...
but i voted for taichi coooooz he is such a cutieee )
I had to go with Arata. No contest for me. Sorry Taichi! f(^-^
omg, manga arata on mangafox is so overrated.
I'm rooting for Taichi!
But seriously, from what I saw in the anime... I think the mangaka is going with Arata X Chihaya :(
Who would Chihaya end up with?
-At this point, I really feel it's Arata.
Who should Chuhaya end up with?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!! i dont agree with most of you!!!! must be TaichixChihaya!! i know that Chihaya likes Arata, but maybe she would change her mind and go for Taichi instead, who knows~ you can see a bit hint in the anime episode 9. i feel really really bad for Taichi. Suetsugu Yuki, you better change the storyline!! like srsly!!! so obsess.
my saddest truth
wait, one person vote for Harada-sensei, you better vote for Taichi instead of that oldman!!! lol

Well, I usually like and root for guys like Arata, but... Sorry, this time I'm gonna go with Taichi all the way. He wasn't very nice as a kid, but, hell, as far as I can remember, most kids that age were like that when I was little. And I love what he grew up to be, such a nice personality! He's refreshing in a way, because he is one of the most realistic characters I have ever seen. Also, he is a very hard worker, a quality I personally greatly admire. And as for calling him a coward... I'm not that sure anymore. If he were a coward he wouldn't have shown Chihaya that message from Arata. And, well... I like rooting for the underdog I just hope Chihaya realises what a good catch he is and chooses him instead of Arata, who did nothing but sit in his corner of woe all the time(seriously, if after all the support Taichi has given her she's still gonna choose Arata, I'm gonna be really disappointed).
I support Chihaya/Arata... although i do agree that chihaya could develop feelings for taichi but honestly i think chihaya and arata "fell" in love the first time they saw each other, and i mean right now we really haven't seen much of arata's point of view in the story only taichi's and you are kind of inclined to believe that it will be arata/ chihaya, so its kind of hard to see who really likes who you know? but anyway, i don't mind who she ends up with... taichi/arata are both cool!
I wish that she chooses Arata. It's a strange feeling from a guys point of view I feel she should just be with Arata. Girls like good looking guys but at the end most end up with the guy who makes them feel just.
@Lota everyone has a time when they feel emo. Taichi's still a coward; he has an advantage from Aratas absence and yet what he does seems to have ulterior motives and fear. I like his jealousy and anticipation ha ha ha ha.
@avang, oh I know that everyone has a time when they feel emo, and I understand that, but... It's just really annoying to know that after all his absence Arata is just going to just appear and take Chihaya for himself, leaving Taichi alone. And it's weird, because usually I root for guys just like Arata Anyway, about Taichi's advantage... what should he do, make a move on her? We all know that if he does something like that, it will turn out badly. And he probably knows that too, and after constantly seeing Chihaya say "Arata, Arata", I don't blame him for wanting to give up.
And anyway, I feel that there might be nothing happening in the romance front for a while, because Chihaya is totally clueless of Taichi's, Arata's and probably even her own feelings. And sometimes I get the feeling that, even though it seems that she's in love with Arata, she sees him just as a close friend and a karuta god. So far we have seen this thing through Taichi's point of view, I just can't help but wonder, if Arata returned and something similar happened to Taichi,what would Chihaya do? And would Arata also feel jealous and inferior?

Other driving forces may be derived from the Clean Air Act and its amendments and farmers desire to develop new uses for surplus agricultural commodities. This chapter reviews competing technologies for converting vegetable oils and animal fats into diesel fuel besides biodiesel.

Model Kit, Rocket, Saturn V, 1:144
This unassembled plastic model kit, made by Monogram Models and copyrighted 1968, is and still sealed in plastic. It allowed its purchaser to create a scale model of an Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle (1:144 scale) using the enclosed plastic pieces and instructions. The model's packaging emphasized the realistic nature of the toy, including the fact that all stage of the non-flying rocket model could separate. The artist's conception on the box cover of a Saturn V rocket during stage separation above the Earth was intended to fire the purchaser's imagination about the rocket depicted in the kit.
Rocket model collector G. Harry Stine donated this model to the National Collections in 1973.

The U.S. Navy has been working overtime around the globe this last month with its huge response to the missing Malaysian airliner and today it's powering resources towards the sinking Korean passenger ship Sewol.
News reports indicate the vessel is an automobile and passenger carrying ferry with some 450 people onboard at the time of the mishap. It is still unclear if the ship hit something outside of the main shipping channel or if it experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure.
Passenger accounts indicate there was a huge sound, lurching motion, and then immediate chaos as the ship started listing to one side.
Several passengers have been rescued; many of whom are reported to be high school students. CNN reports some 300 passengers are still unaccounted for.
The U.S. Navy released this statement this morning:
Bonhomme Richard has established communications with the Republic of Korea on-scene commander and is standing by to assist as required. The ship was on a routine patrol in waters west of the Korean peninsula at the time of the incident.
Navy Capt. Heidi Agle, commodore of the U.S. Amphibious Squadron 11 said the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) immediately diverted when notified of the incident.
U.S.S Bonhomme Richard is deployed to Sasebo, Japan, as part of the U.S. 7th Fleet, carrying a Marine Expeditionary Unit. The vessel is equipped for both humanitarian missions and combat operations.

Menifee Police Department to Host 'Coffee With a Cop'
News release from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department: The Menifee Police Department w...
The Menifee Police Department will host a "Coffee with a Cop" event on Friday, May 2 from 8-10 a.m.
The event will be held at the Sun City Family Restaurant, located at 26824 Cherry Hills Blvd. in Menifee. Officers from the Menifee Police Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. All members of the community are invited to attend.
There is no agenda or formal speeches, just casual conversations about your community, with those who serve. Coffee with a Cop provides an opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department's work in Menifee's neighborhoods.
The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
