College Hockey:Wethington to Step Down at SCSU
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — St. Cloud State women's hockey coach Kerry Brodt Wethington has announced that she will resign from her position effective June 30, 2002.
"At this stage of my life I want to focus on my family," said Wethington.
Wethington became the first women's hockey coach in SCSU athletics in the summer of 1998. She has transformed the program from what was essentially a college club team to a competitive program at the NCAA Division I level.
Wethington will complete her fourth season as head coach this year. She has compiled a 38-47-7 record in her first three seasons and led the Huskies to fourth-place WCHA finishes in 2000 and 2001. Last year, she was voted the WCHA co-Coach of the year.
A 1995 graduate of SCSU, Wethington majored in physical education with a minor in coaching. She gained All-American golf honors with the Huskies and was the team captain for three seasons. She also played club hockey at SCSU.
A true pioneer in the sport of women's hockey, Wethington played at all levels of youth hockey and competed with the Minnesota Blue Jays of the Senior A women's league that won a national title in 1998-99.
"It has been my pleasure to work with Kerry over the past four years," said SCSU athletic director Morris Kurtz. "She has been a capable leader, a diligent worker and a highly professional person. Kerry has played an invaluable role in the development of women's hockey here at St. Cloud State, but more importantly, played a significant and positive role in the lives of numerous student-athletes."
According to Kurtz, the search for a new coach will begin following the completion of the hockey season.

Two gunmen are believed to have barricaded themselves inside a Las Vegas WalMart on Sunday, after shooting two Metro Police Officers outside a Cici's Pizza restaurant nearby. Metro Police have now confirmed that two police officers are dead.
Two armed gunmen shot and killed one innocent person inside the Walmart before going to the back of the store and engaging what police called a suicide pact.
Metra police told Las Vegas 8 News NOW that two people walked into a Cici Pizza restaurant at 309 North Nellis and appeared to target two Metro officers who were eating at the restaurant. One gunman shot one officer in the head and a second gunman shot the other officer.
Witnesses said the two suspects yelled 'This is a revolution" at Cici Pizza restaurant on Nellis in Las Vegas as they were leaving the restaurant and headed to Walmart.
Dozens of Las Vegas Metro police officers and Metro SWAT teams surrounded the Walmart.
In 2010, the United States Department of Homeland Security partnered with shopping malls and Walmart stores for the "See Something, Say Something" awareness campaign to encourage situation awareness by shoppers at public venues. In September, 2012, then DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced an expansion of the public awareness campaign to more American shopping malls.
Wal-Mart shoppers across the United States see Napolitano's message in a video as they stand in the checkout line.

1. Gold for Marie-Pier Beaudet at Olympic Qualifying Event
2008 Canadian Olympian, Marie-Pier Beaudet of Lévis, Quebec won the Continental Qualification Tournament for the Americas held on April 22nd in Medellin, Colombia. The win assures Canada a quota spot in the women's individual archery competition at the 2012 London Olympics.
Only three Olympic quota spots (one per country) were available in the individual event category at the Continental Qualification Tournament for the Americas. By virtue of Marie-Pier Beaudet's gold medal performance, Canada was guaranteed one of the three quota spots in the individual category. Mexico and Colombia won the two remaining Olympic quota spots. A total of 64 female archers will qualify for the London Olympics.
In the ranking round, Beaudet shot a score of 1340, setting a Canadian record in the process and finished 2nd in the ranking round. Fellow Canadian Vanessa Lee (Toronto, ON) set a personal best score of 1288 and placed 7th in the ranking round. Canada's Kateri Vrakking (Etobicoke, ON) shot a score of 1244 and finished 13th in the ranking round. As a result all three archers advanced to the elimination round. Kristen Niles (Moncton, NB) was unable to finish her round due to illness and therefore did not advance past the ranking round.
Early in the elimination round, Vrakking was up against world class archer Ana Maria Rendon of Colombia. Vrakking shot well taking the match to a 5 - 5 tie and a single arrow tie break. However, Rendon won the tie break and advanced to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile Beaudet and Lee met in the quarterfinals with Beaudet winning and moving onto the semi-finals. In her semi-final match, Beaudet was up against international veteran Aida Roman of Mexico. Beaudet prevailed in this tight match and advanced to the gold medal match against Rendon of Colombia.
Buoyed by the support of the 'hometown' Colombian crowd, Rendon took an early 3 – 1 lead in the gold medal match. Beaudet, who is recognized as a tough competitor in matchplay, re-grouped and won the gold medal match 7 – 3. As a consequence she secured an Olympic quota spot for Canada in the individual category. "Marie-Pier shot like there was a homing device in her arrows", said Head Olympic Coach, Joan McDonald. "An outstanding performance."
"I was really happy to get the Olympic spot for Canada and proud of my performance", said Beaudet. "It was a stressful day but everything went really, really well."
Canada has now secured one quota spot in both the women's and men's individual category at the London Olympics. At the 2011 World Archery Championship, Jason Lyon (Winnipeg, MB) secured Canada an Olympic quota spot based on his outstanding 5th place finish. The Canadian Selection Trials for the one female and one male individual event quota spots will take place May 26th - 28th at Pierre Bédard Park in Montreal.
Archery also has a male and female team event (3 archers) in the Olympic Games. Male and female Canadian archers will compete at the World Cup of Archery in Ogden, Utah this June 18th – 24th in hopes of securing a quota spot in both the men's and women's team event category.
Listed below are the athletes and staff comprising the Canadian contingent at the Continental Qualification Tournament for the Americas:
• Marie-Pier BEAUDET - Lévis, QC
• Vanessa LEE - Toronto, ON
• Kristen NILES – Moncton, NB

Loreen Arbus
Television Producer, Executive
Joan Lauren
Loreen Arbus is a trailblazer: she is the first woman in the United States to head programming for a national network, which she has done for both Showtime and Cable Health Network/Lifetime Television. Arbus has an extensive history in the entertainment industry, having been a writer and producer, a consultant to various networks, and an executive in network television, cable, syndication, and print media. Arbus trained at ABC, where she advanced from story analyst to executive producer of primetime specials. She left to become vice president of original programming for the then-obscure cable movie channel, Showtime. She later became head of programming for Cable Health Network, the twenty-four-hour network that evolved into Lifetime Television. Having helped to establish two cornerstones of cable television, Arbus went out on her own and launched Loreen Arbus Productions, Inc., an independent television production company with an emphasis on nonfiction programming. The author of six books; a celebrated tango teacher, performer and choreographer; a composer and artist, she thrives on setting new goals for herself. "I love challenges," she explains. "I love charting new territories."
Loreen Arbus is the daughter of Leonard H. Goldenson, founder and former chairman of ABC. He transformed five television stations on the verge of collapse into a worldwide broadcast giant known for its technological innovations and groundbreaking programming. Goldenson helped shape modern mass communications and transformed ABC into one of the world's mightiest media empires.
Early on, Arbus decided to drop her well-known surname in favor of her grandmother's maiden name, mostly because she "didn't want to ride on [her] father's accomplishments." From the age of 14, she interned summers at various magazines. Working for
magazine's editor-in-chief Helen Gurley Brown was a "formative experience." Arbus explains, "She had a hierarchy, but she gave everyone's ideas and contributions attention. She taught me how much better anyone of us can be if we listen, never knowing from where a significant idea can come."
Arbus joined ABC as a story analyst, at the time a traditional entry-level position for women seeking an executive career in the entertainment industry. "Women at the networks and studios were found in story development," Arbus says. "We put our opinions on paper and that was a kind of inoffensive way for people to deal with women because they didn't have to be in a room and listen to us." Through hard work and solidarity with her female colleagues (with whom she regularly shared and compared salary information "as a baseline for subsequent negotiations"), Arbus quickly moved her way up the network ladder from program coordinator to program executive to executive producer—all the while keeping her family pedigree under wraps. "As women in a man's world," she told Mollie Gregory in
Women Who Run the Show: How a Brilliant and Creative New Generation of Women Stormed Hollywood
, "we wanted desperately to prove ourselves—we worked through lunch, came in earlier, left later, and were often the most reliable resources in the work force."
It was around this time that legal pressures stemming from the Equal Employment Opportunity Act compelled ABC's human resources department to begin posting job openings on a bulletin board. "This made it possible for us to at least see what was open—before it was closed," says Arbus, who campaigned heavily for a position in the late-night television department. After she was formally offered the job, Arbus went to see Wally Weltman, to whom she would be reporting, and informed him that she was the daughter of the chairman of the board. Weltman, a longtime veteran of ABC, was taken aback, telling Arbus, "I can't say it doesn't make a difference. I'll have to think about your working for me…and let you know in a few days." "If I had been Leonard Goldenson's
," Arbus speculates, "I think everyone would have assumed I was there to take over! To me, going up the ladder at ABC was neither my birthright nor my destiny; it was an opportunity to train in the entertainment business." After deliberating, Weltman relented (on the condition that "what we talk about is between you and me"), and Arbus became the supervisor of late-night programming for ABC. "He was a remarkable man and true mentor," she recalls of Weltman. "I learned how important it is to always be prepared with contingency plans and to deal honestly and openly, even in those things you fear most."
Arbus soon parlayed that fearlessness and tenacity into television history by becoming the first woman to head programming for a network. "When I was ready to leave ABC, I spent a good year looking and then two offers came along. One was to head the Group W stations [Westinghouse] and one was to open up a West Coast office and take Showtime into original programming. To me, Group W was an established, older, white man's world that needed fixing in some areas, but working there would have nothing to do with pioneering. At the time, Showtime was basically a movie-buying service and largely unknown. It was most exciting to realize that I had an offer to help brand a new network—and that I could make a difference. "Against my lawyer's advice—he'd never even heard of Showtime!—I took a job with half the amount of money, no perks and a lesser title than if I had gone to Group W." Working with Jeffrey Reiss and Jules Haimovitz, the founders of the network, Arbus, as vice president of original programming, initiated cable's first made-for-television movie-pilot,
Falcon's Gold
; its first scripted (comedy) series,
; and cable's groundbreaking reality series
What's Up America
, while at the same time spearheading the successful campaign to gain Emmy recognition of cable programming by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). "It was quite a big step forward," she said. "At the time, the networks thought cable was the enemy."
Impressed by and rewarding her success, network parent Viacom moved Arbus from Showtime to help launch Cable Health Network, which eventually evolved into Lifetime Television. As senior vice president, she oversaw all program development, production, acquisition, scheduling, and on-air promotion for the fledgling cabler. Within her first three months, she made production commitments and negotiated all deals for 1,671 half-hours of programming (424 acquisitions and seventeen original series). She brought Regis Philbin to cable and introduced Dr. Ruth nationally. Subsequently, she supervised program development and production for Viacom's network and first-run syndication divisions.
A high-profile professional and pioneer in her field, Arbus is a sought-after speaker at national and international media conferences and is passionate about encouraging and mentoring women in television, film, and communications.
For over two decades she has cohosted a monthly luncheon for prominent, high-level women in communications. To date, over 15,000 women who represent various facets of the entertainment industry—including but not limited to television, film, print, public relations, music, new media, as well as philanthropy—participate in highly stimulating conversations, which evolve into open and provocative discussions about culture, industry projects and issues that impact the daily lives of women in the industry and more.
Arbus is a tireless advocate for a variety of media-related and nonprofit causes.
She serves on the boards of: The Museum of Television & Radio; International Documentary Association; The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation; W.O.M.E.N., Inc.; United Cerebral Palsy Association; United Cerebral Palsy Research & Educational Foundation; Harvard Medical School Committee for Campaign Resources; John F. Kennedy School of Government Women's Leadership Board at Harvard; Harvard School of Public Health; Harvard Medical School Advisory Committee for Neurobiology; Israel Cancer Research Fund; The Weizmann Institute of Science; and Town Hall Los Angeles.
Arbus has served as a two-term governor for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences; on the boards of the Producers Guild, The Caucus For Producers, Writers and Directors, Women In Film, Women in Cable and Telecommunications; and as chair of Women In Film International.
She was cofounder and for seven years cochair of the Lucy Awards for Women In Film. She is founder and cochair of an annual luncheon, "Women Who Care" for UCP/NYC, and she was among the core group of founders of the Los Angeles Donor Circle of The Women's Foundation of California. She is a cofounder of The California Governor's Media Office for Employment of the Disabled.
She has been recognized by numerous organizations for her humanitarian and professional accomplishments. A partial list of awards/achievements include: The Heart of Giving Award presented by President Bill Clinton in 2001;Genii Award for Lifetime Achievement presented by American Women in Radio & Television; the Power 100 Women In Entertainment presented by the
Hollywood Reporter
; the National Association of Women Business Owners Hall of Fame Award; the 21 Leaders for the 21st Century Award presented by Women's eNews; the Distinguished Service Award presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences; the Headliner Award presented by Women In Communications, Inc. She was chosen as one (of forty) of the Leading Women Entrepreneurs of the World 2002 and has also been honored with the Disability Awareness Award presented by The California Governor's Committee for Employment of Disabled Persons, the Women of Action Award presented by the Israel Cancer Research Fund, the Woman of Achievement Award presented by the Friends of Sheba Medical Center, and the Project Angel Food Award 2002.
Arbus is also a renowned professional Argentine tango dancer and choreographer, having costarred in and coproduced the first theatrical Argentine tango stage show to originate in the United States with which she has toured four continents.
Arbus is a member of the Writers Guild, Authors Guild, SAG, and AFTRA.

Alterations in the arrhythmogenic dose of ...
|Alterations in the arrhythmogenic dose of epinephrine after xylazine or medetomidine administration in halothane-anesthetized dogs
|Kip A. Lemke, W. J. Tranquilli, J. C. Thurmon, G. J. Benson, W. A. Olson
|American Journal of Veterinary Research
|Start page
|End page
|In a series of trials at least 3 days apart, dogs (12.5 to 21.5 kg) were assigned at random to each of 6 groups: halothane-saline (HS), halothane-xylazine (HX), halothane-medetomidine (HM) and the corresponding groups with glycopyrrolate (HGS, HGX, HGM). Dogs were anaesthetized with halothane (1.31% end-tidal concentration), and ventilation was controlled (PCO2 35 to 40 mm of Hg end-tidal concentration). Glycopyrrolate was administered i.v. and i.m. at a dosage of 11 micro g/kg of body weight, each. Saline solution, xylazine (1.1 mg/kg, i.m.), or medetomidine (15 micro g/kg, i.m.) was administered 10 min after baseline arrhythmogenic dose of epinephrine (ADE) determination. Redetermination of the ADE at the same infusion rate was started 10 min after drug administration. Arrhythmogenic dose was determined by constant infusion of epinephrine at rates of 1.0 and 2.5 micro g/kg min-1. The ADE was defined as the total dose of epinephrine inducing at least 4 ectopic ventricular depolarizations within 15 sec during a 3-min infusion or within 1 min after the end of the infusion. Total dose was calculated as the product of infusion rate and time to arrhythmia. Use of one-way ANOVA showed that differences between baseline and posttreatment ADE among groups HS, HX, and HM, or among groups HGS, HGX, and HGM were not significant. It was concluded that with and without cholinergic blockade in halothane-anaesthetized dogs, preanaesthetic dosages of xylazine or medetomidine used in this study do not enhance arrhythmogenicity, and at these dosages, there is no difference in the arrhythmogenic potential of either alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist..

Oh dear. We're still very, very short on details here, but this certainly isn't something that you want to hear so short after a mother's death—TMZ reports that Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina has been rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles, for reasons unknown. The celebrity site says that sources report Bobbi being taken out of the same Beverly Hilton hotel in which Whitney passed, with police and medical professionals responding to an emergency call from an unconfirmed source. Bobbi apparently got into a shouting match with police outside of Whitney's hotel room, where she was denied access to see her mother's body.
We hope this isn't something too serious, and that there's only one tragedy that the Houston family and the people who love them will have to deal with this weekend. Further details to come.

Maxwell's equations on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,g_{ab})$ say,
$$d_a F_{bc} = \nabla_{[a}F_{bc]} = 0,$$
$$\nabla_a F^{ab} = J^b,$$
where $d_a$ is the exterior derivative, $\nabla_a$ is the covariant derivative compatible with $g_{ab}$ (i.e. $\nabla_a g_{bc}=0$), and $F_{ab}$ is antisymmetric ($F_{ab}=-F_{ba}$).
Let $J^a, F_{ab}$ and $\tilde{J}_a, \tilde{F}_{ab}$ be two solutions to Maxwell's equations in this form. Suppose that $J^a$ and $\tilde{J}^a$ are equivalent up to isometry, in that $\varphi_*J^a = \tilde{J}^a$ for some isometry $\varphi:M\rightarrow M$.
Question: Does it follow that $F_{ab}$ and $\tilde{F}_{ab}$ are equivalent up to isometry, in that $\varphi_*F_{ab} = \tilde{F}_{ab}$?
Wald's General Relativity (1984, Chapter 10 Problem 2) shows a sense in which the answer is yes in the source-free case ($J^a=\mathbf{0}$). I wonder what is known about the non-source-free case.

Top food trends are bent on increasing nutrient values Other trends that I want to dig up would be sustainable ecosysyems, vertical farming, ending global hunger ...
A simple example would be:
Cargill, a company that seeks to make healthy nutritionals: Terri Vanderpol, Senior Beverage Scientist at Cargill, is testing a food additive that may promote heart health, called Barliv, a derative of barley.
Califronia based Bolthouse Farms has sold it in a pear-Merlot juice. And is it still on the shelves? I didn't find that but what I did find is a keeper: FrutiFast Pomegranate Juice! Wow this stuff is like an alarm clock for your mouth - and I am still finding new ways to use it:
Supports Healthy Cardiovascular Function*
Helps Maintain Already Healthy Cholesterol Levels*
Contains Natural Phytoestrogen
100% Pure And Natural, Nothing Has Been Added
From The Fertile Valleys Of California, NOT An Import Or A Blend!
Each Tablespoon Of Pomegranate Juice Concentrate Equals The Juice From One Medium Pomegranate
The Juice from Over 64 Medium Sized Pomegranates Per Quart
Concentrates are bottled in PET 1 plastic, are BPA free and fully Recyclable
Certified Kosher NOTE: MUST BE REFRIGERATED UPON ARRIVAL
This drink is on myTop TEN list of Summer drinks for 2011:
Pomegranate Lemonade Punch (aka 'La Bamba')
1/3 cup of Pomegranate Juice in the bottom of a tall or wide glass
drop in a few ice cubes, add 3/4 cup of champaigne or sprite if you are going for a virgin drink
Top with 1/2 cup of fresh Ruby Red Grapefruit juice
Garnish with pink or sunset colored Rose petals and give it a slight swirl -
Looks like a pink Tequila Sunset, without the hangover!
Monerey Herald says,
"While agriculture is no longer among the top three industry sectors, it is still a significant component of the state's economy and the largest industry in Monterey County.California produces more than 400 commodities, employing 370,000 people and accounting for almost $35 billion in direct sales.
With California agriculture facing many challenges — aging workers, pest infestations and global competition" ... there is a lot of room here for improvement."

First time screenwriter Andrew Dodge teams up with Jason Bateman for his first time directing a feature film. With no expectations, "Bad Words" is a short, humorous film that blends sentiment with its outrageous offensiveness.
Finding a loophole in a nationwide spelling bee competition, Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman), a 40-year-old, enters against children and pre-teens. Backed by an online reporter curious for his story, Jenny Widgeon (Kathryn Hahn), Guy makes a mockery of the competition by cockily winning the regional rounds and sabotaging the self-esteem of many other contestants. When finally entering Dr. Bowman's (Philip Baker Hall) National Bee, organized by Dr. Bernice Deagan (Allison Janney), Guy makes an unlikely friendship with fellow contestant Chaitanya Chopra (Rohan Chand), a talkative and adorable child. Chaitanya and Jenny separately try to get to know Guy better, but Guy abrasively keeps everyone at a distance.
"Bad Words" is reminiscent of "Bad Santa" from 2003; an unlikely friendship forms between an awkward child and a vulgar, rude adult loner. If one can handle the content, the banter between Rohan Chand and Jason Bateman feels genuine, playful, and amusing. Guy is immature and crass, but the relationship between the actors brings out a whimsical feeling of improv.
The situation has been done before in various settings, so the ending of "Bad Words" is expected, but the personable young actor and the Bateman's lack of boundaries combines to be absurdly charming and worthwhile. Guy may be a cruel, bad influence, but his goal is fittingly appropriate without melodrama. "Bad Words" is worth a watch.
Rating for "Bad Words:" B+

"Bad Words" is currently playing in about half the theatres of Columbus, including Gateway and AMC Lennox and Easton. For showtimes, click here.

Founding Sugababe Keisha Buchanan has been quiet on the musical front since her abrupt exit from the British girl group in the fall of 2009. But today, a demo of the blippy, glittery pop tune "Under Control," and even in its not-quite-finished state, it sizzles.
"Under Control" fuses a deep, "Poker Face"-like groove with bedroom-pop electro effects in a way that recalls Buchanan's former group's monster first single "Overload." (That's one of the best singles of the '00s, by the way, so if you're not familiar, clicky click.) "I'm so cool without you, yeah / I don't need no stress, get you out of here," she sings on the song's chorus—and even though the song's operating within a romantic conceit, after her abrupt exit from the group last year it's hard not to hear such sentiments as a semi-veiled shots at her former bandmates. (Perhaps they will reply on their forthcoming greatest-hits album, although they should probably get to re-recording the group's catalog so that the current lineup will be represented on more than 12.5% of the record's songs.) And the bridge, during which Buchanan drops truth-bombs over a pumping beat, should inspire many a dance-floor throwdown. Who knows? Maybe the diamond-in-the-roughness of this song is a sign that Buchanan will break in the States, something that unfairly eluded the 'Babes for the whole of their career.

College Hockey:Lowell And Amherst Skate To 3-3 Tie
Riverhawks Come From Behind In Third
LOWELL, Mass. — UMass-Lowell mounted a furious comeback in the third period to tie UMass-Amherst 3-3 Saturday night at the Tsongas Arena. For the second straight night, Lowell scored a late goal to salvage a tie. Friday night, it was Ed McGrane's goal that tied the game at Providence. Tonight, it was Andres Strome's turn for the heroics.
UMass-Lowell (17-8-3, 9-6-3 HEA) was down three goals going into the third period before they started the rally. By virtue of the tie, Lowell sneaks ahead of Northeastern into fourth place in Hockey East. UMass-Amherst (8-20-2, 3-15-2 HEA) rode the solid goaltending of
Mike Johnson, who ended with 39 saves.
"Putrid display of hockey the last two periods," said a frustrated Amherst Coach Don Cahoon. "We played well in the first period. We executed well and then fell flat on our faces. It was a good effort by Lowell."
Lowell continues to struggle to put the puck in the net without their Olympic players. Since Yorick Treille, Laurent Meunier, and Baptiste Amar left to skate for Team France, the Riverhawks have managed to score just 14 goals over a 1-3-2 stretch.
"Goals aren't coming easy for us," said Lowell coach Blaise McDonald. "There was no doubt that we were going to tie or win that game. It took a strong will to get back into the game."
Amherst got on the scoreboard first courtesy of a good bounce. A Lowell clearing pass hit Peter Tormey's skate and deflected in front of the net. Mike Warner picked up the loose puck and backhanded it home past Lowell goalie Cam McCormick.
Amherst extended its lead later in the period. Toni Soderholm led a three-on-two break and fed a trailing Dusty Demianiuk. He took the pass in the slot and sneaked a wrist shot into the lower right corner for his first career goal.
Lowell outshot Amherst in the first period but was unable to generate any quality scoring chances until very late in the period. Johnson was solid between the pipes, turning away all nine of Lowell's opportunities.
The bad bounces continued to haunt Lowell. While killing a penalty, Steve Slonina and McGrane led a two-on-one shorthanded scoring chance. Slonina fed McGrane whose blast clanked off the post. A little over a minute later, Amherst took advantage of the power
play. Soderholm wristed a shot initially stopped by McCormick, but the rebound bounced right to Tim Vitek. He deposited the shot into the net with only one second left on the power play.
Things turned around early in the third period for Lowell when Amherst was unable to clear the zone. McGrane continued his scoring streak by netting his 19th goal, just 44 seconds into the period.
Lowell kept up the pressure on Johnson spending the majority of the period in the offensive zone. Lowell cut the lead to one off a Dan Fontas faceoff win. He won the draw back to Josh Reed, who sent a shot through traffic that managed to find the back of the net. It was Reed's third goal of the season and it set up the dramatic finish for the second straight night.
The Riverhawks found themselves down a goal with less than a minute to go in regulation. They pulled McCormick for the extra skater and it paid off. Chris Gustafson blasted a shot that Johnson got a piece of but trickled to Strome on the doorstep. He buried the puck to send the game into overtime.
"I was hoping it would squeak through to me," said Strome of the tying goal. "It was nothing but net."
Lowell came out hard in the overtime period but was unable to get the puck past Johnson. Gustafson had two shots that Johnson stopped. One of them sneaked behind him but he was able to cover up before the puck crossed the goal line.
McCormick didn't face much pressure over the last period and overtime. He made a total of 11 saves for the game.
Lowell continues its Hockey East schedule next weekend with a home-and-home series with Boston University. Amherst has an exhibition game against the U.S. National Development Team before returning to Hockey East play the following weekend at Maine.

Chaos continues in the Boston area, post-marathon bombings, as last night one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed. The other suspect, his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarneav, is still on the run.
The violence last night is believed to have begun with a robbery of a 7-Eleven in Cambridge, followed by a shooting on the MIT campus that killed an MIT police officer.
A carjacking occurred in Cambridge, and police discovered the vehicle in Watertown. As Watertown police pursued the vehicle, explosive devices were thrown at them by the suspects.
Gun fire was exchanged between the suspects and the police and it is believed that one of the suspects was hit, taken into custody and later died. A police officer was also hit by the gun fire and is in critical condition.
The second suspect is still at large and will certainly be facing several criminal charges once he is apprehended.
Police have the neighborhood on lock down and are going door to door in search of suspect number two.

Popielarczyk Named Atlantic 10 Pitcher Of The Year
May 22, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - UMass senior right-hander Joe Popielarczyk's 2012 Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year honor highlights the Minutemen's A-10 postseason accolades, which were announced by the conference office this afternoon. Popielarczyk was also tabbed First Team All-Atlantic 10 and Academic All-Conference, while freshman left-hander Conor LeBlanc was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.
Popielarczyk joins Matt Torra (2005) and Jay Murphy (1995) as the third Minuteman in program history to be recognized as A-10 Pitcher of the Year after finishing the regular season with a minuscule 1.24 earned run average, which ranks third in the nation and leads the Atlantic 10.
Through 11 starts, he has allowed just 11 earned runs on 64 hits over 79.2 innings of work, en-route to a 6-1 record. He has two combined shutouts and one complete game thus far on the year, while limiting opponent batters to just nine extra base hits (eight doubles, one home run) and a .220 batting average. He has logged 62 strikeouts to just 26 walks for a strikeouts-to-walks ratio of 2.4-to-1.
UMass is 8-3 in Popielarczyk's starts this season, including a pair of 2-1 losses, at #18 UCF and at Dayton. In the setback to the Flyers, Popielarczyk worked a career-high 9.1 innings.
He finished conference play with an A-10-best 1.16 ERA and a record of 5-1 in 62.1 innings on the mound. Popielarczyk fanned 48 batters in A-10 action to rank third in the league, while walking just 16. On Mar. 26, he was named Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the week after logging 13.1 consecutive shutout innings and striking out 10 in a complete game effort at Fordham.
Popielarczyk, who posted a 3.42 grade-point average as a Civil Engineering major, was previously honored as UMass' Male Spring Scholar Athlete earlier this month and was one of 51 players named to initial the watch list for national Pitcher of the Year by the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
LeBlanc is the fourth Minuteman in program history to earn an Atlantic 10 All-Rookie selection, the third in the past four seasons, joining current senior Tom Conley (2009) and redshirt sophomore Ryan Cusick (2010). The left-hander served as UMass' primary mid-week starter in 2011, logging a 4-1 record with a 3.37 ERA over 12 appearances, five starts, with a 3.37 ERA. LeBlanc helped pitch UMass to its sixth Beanpot Championship and first since 2008, striking out 11 in the tournament title game vs. Harvard. He was tabbed co-Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week on Apr. 16.

I am looking for studies about applied code quality, comparing costs before and after. They should show a clear benefit in cost (or maybe a negative effect of too much cost). I need hard facts like (entirely fictional):
After we added static code analysis to our build, the number of defects reduced to half. So we saved approx. 10 developer days effort per iteration on bug fixing. Extra cost by buying and setting up the analysis was x$. Development was slowed down 0.1% by obeying the analysis results, increasing the total development effort by 5 days per iteration. During the first half year the initial cost was returned. etc. Now we save approx. y$ per iteration.
I only know one such story given in Code Complete 2nd Ed. It is talking about Boeing that defects decreased after adding reviews during the QA process (AFAIK). Unfortunately most shops would not compare with Boeing, so studies from Boeing do not count.
Do you know such studies or do you have any hard data from your shop?
There is a related question, but does not give any hard data.
