UK: Christians belong in the temple ghetto
Religious rules should end "at the door of the temple" and give way to the "public law" laid down by Parliament, the chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission said.
He argued that Roman Catholic adoption agencies and other faith groups providing public services must choose between their religion and obeying the law when their beliefs conflict with the will of the state.
Freedom and Tyranny
by Michael Ledeen:
I'm sure Mark Levin would agree that it's no accident. This president, who so vigorously asserts and imposes state power against Americans, is much more comfortable supporting dissident movements against American friends than against American enemies.
At a certain point, after unconscionable dithering, he announced that Qadaffi must go, and he ordered our armed forces to help that happen. Qadaffi wasn't killing Americans.
Now he has his feckless secretary of state announce that, while Assad must also go, we will not support–not even from way behind–those fighting against Bashar Assad, who has killed lots of Americans. With one caveat: if Assad says it's ok, then we might do it. (Really)

Leaving the euro isn't a punishment: it's Greece's last chance for recovery
By Daniel Hannan:
How much worse do things have to get, for Heaven's sake? Greek politicians keep repeating that leaving the euro would be an economic disaster. As opposed to what, precisely? The present Wirtschaftswunder?
In 2011, the Greek economy contracted, not by the forecast three per cent, but by six per cent. Sixty thousand small firms closed, and unemployment rose to 20 per cent. As bank accounts are emptied, Greeks are reverting to barter. Farmers are bringing eggs and vegetables to their cousins in urban areas. Well-dressed people are to be found discreetly rummaging in bins for food.

In this week's edition: reports from Colombia, Laos, Somalia and Iran.
1. Violent guerrilla group impedes evangelism in Colombia
(Source: VOM-USA)
Members of the notorious guerrilla group Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) recently prevented a VOM
evangelist, "Rolo," from entering La Macarena region in Colombia with
radios, Bibles and Christian books. The Marxist-Leninist revolutionary
guerrilla organization has been a significant contributor to violence
and volatility in the region. A VOM worker in the area reported that
members of FARC are closing the churches and burning the buses of
those attempting to enter the area.
Leftist guerrillas and right-wing paramilitary groups in the country
are both acting as lawless gangs raising funds with drug trafficking
and ransom kidnapping. Despite the upheaval and political violence,
however, the Church is flourishing. While there were about 15,000
evangelical Christians in Colombia in 1933, by last year, they
numbered between 3.5 and 5 million with some churches growing
1,000-fold over the last two decades.
Please pray that Rolo's evangelistic efforts will not be thwarted any
longer and that Christians in the region will not be impeded in
sharing the gospel message. Pray that the Church will continue to
thrive despite the efforts to keep it from doing so.

2. Update: Seven imprisoned Christian leaders freed in Laos
(Source: VOM-USA)
Seven Christian leaders arrested during a church service last December
in Boukham village in Laos were unconditionally released on January
12. The village chief had ordered authorities to raid the Christmas
service on December 16, 2011, even though freedom of religion is
guaranteed in the Lao constitution (for more information on the raid,
go to http://www.persecution.net/la-2012-01-05.htm
The seven leaders were held without being charged until December 30.
Since authorities were unable to charge the pastors with violating a
religion law, they eventually charged them with violating the
village's "hiit," the traditional spirit cult. The Christians were
fined the equivalent of 35 times the average monthly wage.
International human rights organizations had exerted pressure on
authorities to release the imprisoned Christians, and the families of
those arrested filed complaints against the village authorities
shortly before they were released.
Praise God for the release of these bold followers and thank Him for
their safety while in custody. Please pray that these believers will
not be subjected to any further persecution. Pray that their
steadfastness would strengthen the faith of other Christians in Laos.

3. Islamic extremists behead another believer in Somalia
(Source: Compass Direct News)
Islamic extremists belonging to the al Shabaab extremist group in
Somalia beheaded a young Christian man just outside Mogadishu last
month. Twenty-six-year-old Zakaria Hussein Omar, who had worked for a
Christian humanitarian organization banned by al Shabaab, was murdered
on January 2 in Cee-carfiid village. The body of the young man lay
undiscovered for about 20 hours before nomads came upon his remains. A
close friend who identified Omar's body said Omar had confided in him
that he feared for his life when the organization he was working with
was banned by the al Shabaab. Omar, an accountant, had converted to
Christianity seven years ago while he was living in Ethiopia. He is
survived by his wife, his parents, a brother and four sisters.
Last September, militants also decapitated a young Christian man,
Guled Jama Muktar, in his home near Mogadishu (for more, go to
). Earlier that month, the terrorists beheaded a Christian convert,
Juma Nuradin Kamil, in south-western Somalia (go to
for more information).
The Islamic extremists seek to impose a strict version of Shariah
(Islamic law), ridding the country of Christianity. The country's
president, Sheikh Sharif Sheik Ahmed, has embraced a version of
Shariah that mandates the death penalty for those who leave Islam.
Please pray that Omar's wife and family will find peace and rest in
Christ. Please pray that the Lord will intercede against the violence
facing our brothers and sisters in Somalia. Pray that the gospel will
spread like never before in Somalia.

Church Prayer Wall. ***********************************
4. Iranian court bars Christian convert from university for one year
(Source: Mohabat News)
A Christian convert was recently sentenced to one year of deprivation
of education by a court in Tehran, Iran. Fatemeh Nouri, an art student
in one of the universities in Tehran, was arrested in September 2011
at her home and was then transferred to Evin prison. Fatemeh was
convicted of attending a house church,insulting sacred figures, and
activities against national security. She was released on November 30,
2011, after spending almost three months in prison. However, she is
not allowed to receive an education for the duration of her one-year
deprivation sentence.
The Iranian constitution allows religious freedom for followers of
non-Islamic faiths. The sentencing violates the country's own laws, as
well as the universal declaration of human rights, which considers
education a right for all regardless of race, colour, belief, religion
and gender. While the Islamic Republic has in the past made Christian
students attend Islamic courses in an effort to convert them, it now
seems that the deprivation of education or expulsion from universities
may be the new method for opposing the spread of Christianity.
Please pray that this sentence will be recognized as unlawful and will
be overturned. Pray that Fatemeh will not become discouraged, but that
she will find new strength in Christ. Please pray for Fatemeh's future
as well as for the futures of all young Iranian Christians seeking to
further their education and bring glory to God with their gifts.

Who are America's Reliable Allies?
by Alan M. Dershowitz:
In a quickly changing world, it is important to ask which countries the United States can always count on in times of crisis. Recent events have shortened that list considerably.
India has long claimed to be a reliable ally, but it is now undercutting American efforts to impose meaningful sanctions against Iran. Its help cannot any longer be counted on in the struggle against the greatest danger faced by the United States—an Iran with nuclear weapons. Japan, another ally, is dilly dallying on sanctions as well. Brazil used to be a reliable partner, until it began to fall under the sway of Venezuela's Chavez, who is closely allied with Iran and other American enemies. The "new" Russia and China demonstrated their lack of reliability when they vetoed American efforts in the Security Council to help resolve the Syrian crisis. Egypt, which has received billions of dollars of American aid, has defied American warnings not to put US citizens on trial on phony, trumped-up charges. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are now playing footsy with Hamas and Hezbollah, also Iranian surrogates, as they worry about the contagion of the Arab Spring and the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It turns out that other than Europe, Israel may be America's only remaining reliable ally. And even some European countries, such as France, Sweden and Norway, are in doubt.
What about Canada?
UK: Islamist Intimidation Shuts Down Free Speech
by Shiraz Maher:
"We are not to blame for 'provoking' the Islamists; they need no such provocation."
These have not been good times for free speech in the UK. Islamist students and cowardly student bodies – which, ironically, would identify themselves as liberal and progressive – have clamped down on the right of secular and atheist societies to voice their opposition to Islam (as they do to other religions too).
Claim: IRS Won't Grant Richmond Tea Party Tax Exempt Status
By DANIEL HALPER:
The Richmond Tea Party group is blasting the IRS for allegedly failing to grant tax exempt status to the pro-limited government organization. "The Internal Revenue Service has served Richmond Tea Party (RTP) with unreasonable requests to obtain a tax-exempt status, fitting the pattern of the Federal Government's forcing liberty groups to spend inordinate time and money complying with their demands during this critical 2012 election year," RTP claims in a press release.
According to the Richmond Tea Party, here's the process that led to the "unreasonable documentation requests" from the IRS:
Palestinians and the Greatest Political Scam of Modern Times
by David Solway:
The usual understanding of Israel as an aggressive, colonial, apartheid state robbing the Palestinians of their heritage is quite possibly the greatest political scam of modern times. It is the outcome of a mixture of historical amnesia, ideological prejudice and reflex hostility, which serves to keep it mind-proof. This species of unreason explains why, in the interminable conflict raging in the Middle East, the Palestinians have been given a free pass.
The Muslim Brothers Get Paid to Threaten America
by Bruce Thornton:
Remember last year's giddy bipartisan enthusiasm over the "Arab Spring"? President Obama claimed that Egyptians merely wanted "a government that is fair and just and responsive," Senator John McCain asserted that Libyans were aiming for "lasting peace, dignity, and justice," while Senator Joseph Lieberman wrote in Foreign Affairs that the Arab Spring was a struggle for "democracy, dignity, economic opportunity, and involvement in the modern world." Every day that passes shows these assessments to be not just delusional, but dangerous to America's interests and security.

Media Matters accepted $50K grant for 'fact checking' religious broadcasts
By Alex Pappasand David Martosko:
The liberal Media Matters for America organization once accepted a $50,000 grant to monitor and attack religious news outlets, according to tax returns examined by The Daily Caller.
The grant came in 2006 from the ARCA Foundation, a 60-year-old philanthropy that funds Democratic causes. The foundation gave Media Matters the $50,000 "to support a Religious Broadcasting Project to expand the monitoring and fact checking of religious broadcasts," according to its tax return that year.
The Rising Fever of Despotism
By Lee DeCovnick:
Andrew McCarthy commands a well-deserved respect for his insightful and thought provoking discourse on American conservatism. And Saturday's' NRO column clearly delineates what many conservatives think about the despotic nature of this Administration. The sharply focused conclusion, that tyranny's deadly embrace has ensnared our nation, should set painfully on the shoulders of all Americans.
Here are the opening and ending paragraphs:
Obama administration deletes religious service for student loan forgiveness
by Audrey Hudson:
The federal government will no longer forgive student loans in exchange for public service if that service is related to religion, according to a new Education Department rule from the Obama administration.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program announced the change Jan. 31 with little fanfare, while most of Washington was focused on the new ObamaCare rule requiring religious organizations to provide free birth control through health insurance.
U.S. Bans Linking Terrorism To Muslims In Agent Training
The Judicial Watch Blog:
To meet the Obama Administration's high standards of political correctness, the U.S. government will change the way it trains agents to combat terrorism and violent extremism by eliminating all materials that shed a negative light on Muslims.
It's a government-wide call to end Islamophobia, if you will. A few months after the White House ordered an investigation of government counterterrorism training, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has destroyed instructional material that characterizes Muslims as prone to violence or terrorism.
So far 700 pages of documents from about 300 presentations given to agents since the 2001 terrorist attacks have been purged, according to a news report published this week. The White House order came after the same publication reported in late November that the FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ) and Pentagon taught employees that mainstream Muslims embrace violence and compared the Islamic religion to the death star.
Obama's Catholic Church Gambit: Lessons from American Communists
By Paul Kengor:
A fascinating theory has been advanced by Dick Morris, which, in turn, is being considered by Rush Limbaugh and other leading conservatives. Morris speculates that the Obama HHS mandate on contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients is a fight with the Catholic Church that Team Obama wants — and with the focus based narrowly on contraception, not abortifacients.
Dick Morris may be right. It seems no accident that Obama publicly noted that the vast majority of Catholic women use contraception. Yes, the vast majority does, but the vast majority does not support abortifacients — that is, "contraceptive" drugs that cause or induce an abortion.
Obama is underscoring "contraception" generally, not abortifacients specifically. Sadly, our superficial media, which reflexively ramrods everything into a 10-second sound-bite, is aiding and abetting his tactic. Again and again, I hear reporters refer to Obama's mandate not as a mandate on "contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs" (which it is), but as simply one on "contraception."

11.14.2011 / Save More By Planning Ahead this Holiday Season.
Holiday spending. Those two words can put a damper on the holiday spirit of many shoppers. According to the National Retail Federation, U.S. consumers are planning on spending less on family members due to these hard times.
The average shopper will spend $466.13 this holiday season, while they spent $469.14 last year. While less than some years, it is still a large chunk of change.
We all know the biggest day to save – Black Friday – but not everyone can get the day off, and some of us don't want to brave the cold or the crowds. Below are some tips to planning – and saving – this holiday season.
Plan your list ahead:
Before you shop – STOP. Set a budget for yourself on the total amount you want to spend on holiday shopping. Once you've done that, make a list of who you need to buy for, and set a specific budget for each person. Write down the gifts you'd like to give and do some comparative shopping (online and off) before you buy each present.
Forget Black Friday, go Cyber Monday!
The Monday after Thanksgiving has been coined Cyber Monday for a reason – people are back online and looking to spend. Many online retailers have deals specifically geared toward Cyber Monday and can be found on sites like www.cybermonday.net. Shopping online for deals can save you gas and time.
Scale down your list:
You may feel pressured to give gifts to everyone you know, or bring a hostess gift to every party you attend. Fear not – scaling down your list can help pare down your budget. Make Christmas cookies instead and bring them to parties or drop them off to family and friends instead of gifts. They'll appreciate your time – and your visit – a lot more than a purchased gift.
Work with your friends and family:
Since a lot of us are feeling the holiday pinch this season, suggest to friends or family you celebrate the holidays with to minimize the gift giving. Many families have started White Elephant traditions, in which each adult brings one gift – typically under $25, and the family has fun opening, trading (and stealing) the gifts. If you think your family may be interested, suggest a White Elephant gift exchange instead of one present per person.
Do you have any special holiday savings tips that work for you year after year? If so, please share them here, or on www.facebook.com/fnbomaha.

Hinkle Named 2013 All-American
Tech junior defender Jaelene Hinkle was named an NSCAA All-American Friday.
A Look At Hinkle's 2013 Season | 2013 NSCAA Division I All-America Team
Dec. 6, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech junior defender Jaelene Hinkle was officially named today to the NSCAA/Continental Tire All-America Third Team as announced by the organization.
Hinkle, a Denver, Colo. native and three-time NSCAA All-Region selection, is the second Red Raider to be named to the All-America team in as many seasons.
"We are thrilled that Jaelene has been named to the All-America team," Texas Tech head coach Tom Stone said. "We see her play every day, so we've known since her freshman year what a special player Jaelene is. The 2013 season has been her best to date, so it's fitting that she has been recognized."
A standout defender and 2013 All-Big 12 First Team selection, Hinkle paced the Red Raiders with six assists in 2013 as Tech made its second-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. With the impressive season Hinkle moved into fourth all-time at Texas Tech in the category with 15 assists in her stellar career.
Three of her assists came in conference play and one came in a 3-0 victory over Minnesota in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Hinkle was named to the NSCAA/Continental Tire All-Central Region First Team earlier this week, marking her third consecutive season to be recognized on the regional level.
Texas Tech is one of just two Big 12 programs to have at least one All-American in each of the last two seasons. The Red Raiders finished the 2013 campaign with an 18-2-3 mark which set a school record for most wins in a season, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA postseason.

E-learning Jamaica launches online math textbook
Martin Baxter, Gleaner Writer
In a glance into the future of education in Jamaica, principals, math teachers and the media were yesterday given a formal introduction to the Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) - an online mathematics textbook created for Jamaica's high schools.
"E-learning leads the way, e-learning makes a brighter day," was the jingle that rang out from the sound system during the press launch of the MEP at The Knutsford Court Hotel in New Kingston.
The idea behind the MEP, which began being developed in 2005, is simple - increase the candidacy and pass rate of Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) mathematics and prepare the Jamaican's of tomorrow to compete in the global labour market. And by publishing the teaching and learning resource online, MEP also embraces the information age, where iPhones, iPads and tablet PCs are increasingly rendering blackboards and chalk obsolete.
Collaboration between the University of Technology, local math teachers and specialists and the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching at Plymouth University in England saw the creation of the online resource that incorporates all elements of the CSEC mathematics curriculum.
"This is really a very important day," said Robert Philips, education specialist at e-Learning Jamaica.
"A strategy and plan has been laid out for the improvement of teaching and learning in many subjects, but for mathematics in particular. And we have reached a point of transition in that the major aspects of the preparation have come to a point where they can be said to impact teaching and learning in Jamaica. And if we are courageous enough, we can say teaching and learning in the Caribbean."
Changed attitude to math needed
Dr Mary Campbell, assistant chief education officer of the core curriculum unit at the Ministry of Education, stressed the importance of reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking in producing the next generation of Jamaican leaders.
"In Jamaica, there is concern about the unsatisfactory performance of our students in mathematics at all levels of the system. Poor attitudes towards the subject is evident among many students and some view mathematics as being of little value to them outside of school," she said.
"There is also the concern that an insufficient number of persons in the society are equipped with the mathematical skills required to function effectively in life after school. As Jamaica strives to take its place within a fiercely competitive and highly globalised marketplace, the persons who will be best equipped to provide leadership in many significant areas are those in whom the reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking skills are best developed. It is claimed that mathematics classroom is the ideal nursery for the development of such skills."
The MEP provides interactive problem-based learning methods for students and instructional resources for teachers focusing on all areas of the CSEC curriculum. It is freely available on the e-Learning Jamaica website at www.e-ljam.net, alongside other multimedia instructional resources and test preparation questions.

Dexter Gordon: Fried Bananas
Fried Bananas
Dexter Gordon (tenor sax)
Homecoming: Live At The Village Vanguard (Columbia C2K 46824)
Dexter Gordon (tenor sax), Woody Shaw (trumpet), Stafford James (bass), Louis Hayes (drums).
Composed by Dexter Gordon.
Recorded: live at the Village Vanguard, New York, December 1976
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
After being cast against everyone's advice, Dexter Gordon was nominated for a "Best Actor" Oscar for his performance in Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 film Round Midnight. It was the story of Dale Turner, an expatriate American jazzman loosely based on Bud Powell and Lester Young, who finds more acceptance in Europe than in his own country. Despite a new life with less racism and more promise, the character is a helpless alcoholic who cannot be saved from his addictions no matter how much anyone cares.
In real life Dexter Gordon also had a drug problem and dealt with racism. He went to France in 1962 and did not return to New York for good until 1976. Acknowledged by this time as one of the great bebop saxophonists, his return was an event of some magnitude among jazz fans. After getting a few gigs under his belt, Gordon played a week's return engagement at the Village Vanguard, where recording equipment was set up for his "homecoming."
"Fried Bananas" is a bonus cut on this two-CD set and did not appear on the original album. It is not the strongest of compositions, but the musicianship mostly makes up for any weakness in melodic structure. Gordon was perhaps at the height of his powers in 1976. The same can be said for trumpeter Woody Shaw, the remarkable but ultimately tragic figure who joined Dexter's band upon Gordon's return from Europe. (This was really Louis Hayes's group with Gordon added.) The musical simpatico between Gordon and Shaw is an absolute wonder. Drummer Hayes is a man possessed as he leads the rhythmic charge. Gordon takes an extended and provocative solo, characteristically throwing in a barely recognizable popular quote here and there. He is followed by Shaw's fine turn. Fantastic playing! Shaw remains one of the most underappreciated jazz musicians ever. The impressive force that dominated much of what Dexter played around this time might be called "power-bebop." This band was a killing unit. Sadly, as I write these words 32 years after the recording; it has been just a few days since the death of pianist Ronnie Mathews, who also contributed an engaging solo to this piece.
Many have called Round Midnight the greatest of all jazz films. It says volumes about the attitude in the USA toward jazz that it was not produced by an American. Gordon's acting was excellent. There was some outstanding music played as well. But in the end, to me, it was just another downer jazz movie. I wish someone would make an uplifting jazz movie for a change.

I'm experiecning a problem with my External Hard Disk.
When I plug my HDD in ubuntu it works. When I plug it in Windows, it also works. But when I transfer files from Ubuntu to HDD and then trying to acess them from Windows, no matter how I try, I get error messages. And when I'm able to acess them I cannot cpoy, or delete them through windows. They can only be modified through Ubuntu. I gave my HDD to a friend and she couldn't copy a folder I had created using Ubuntu. When I checked it using Windows 7, I clicked on the foldres' properties, and I saw that the "Read-Only" box was checked. I unckecked the box, but nothing. Only Ubuntu could modify the files in the folder, and copy or delete them from the HDD. How can I prevent ubuntu from making my files "read-only" for windows?

El Burro
|El Burro
|Magazine copies, thief
|Hepburn Heights, Portland, Liberty City
|Unlocked by
|Trial By Fire
Big'n'Veiny is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Diablos leader El Burro from a payphone in the Hepburn Heights area of Portland, Liberty City.
Claude goes to the payphone in Hepburn Heights, which is ringing. El Burro instructs Claude to follow a SPANKED-up thief who has stolen the latest copy of Donkey Does Dallas and collect the copies as they fly out of the back of a van. After collecting all the magazines, Claude kills the thief and then returns the magazines to XXXMags in the Red Light District.
El Burro: A thieving opportunist has stolen a van of my latest publication hot off the press! But that SPANKED-up idiot has left the rear doors open and now tastefully photographed adult literature is being dropped all over Liberty. Take the van and follow that trail of Donkey Does Dallas volumes 1, 2 and 3 collecting it as you go. When you've followed the trail to that thieving SPANK-head, waste him. Then deliver my donkey derby to XXX Mags in the Red Light District.
The reward for completion of the mission is $20,000 and the unlocking of the Turismo race, El Burro's first mission. The Portland safehouse will also be seen with stacks of pornographic magazines thereafter.
- The mission name may be a reference to a veiny penis.
- If the player already completed Sayonara Salvatore, the Mafia use Micro Uzis rather than shotguns in this mission, making it easier.
- There is a time limit in this mission. The player has an inital 25 seconds the complete the mission, and each magazine collected adds one second to the timer.
- Following the trail of magazines is merely a way for the player to find the thief, and is not actually necessary for the completion of the mission. It is possible to take a shortcut from St. Marks straight to Portland Harbor if the player has enough time left on the timer. Doing so will lessen the amount of driving otherwise needed considerably.

All American Powder Coating, LLC
Locally Owned and Operated
Your One Stop Shop
In House Sandblasting and Powder Coating
"Powder Coating gives consumers, businesses & industry one of the most economical, long-lasting & most color-durable quality finishes available. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading & wearing than other finishes. Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment."
The difference from powder coating & conventional liquid paint:
Powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder & filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically & is cured under heat to allow it to flow & form a skin.
The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than convential paint. Poweder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as "white goods", aluminum extrusions & automobile & motorcycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
No matter what questions you have, we can help you out:
What is powder coating?
An advanced method of applying a protective, decorative finish to a large variety of products used by both consumers and industries. The powder used is a finely grounded mixture of resin and pigment which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated.
The powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The results are like new!
Uniform, durable, high-quality and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest growing finishing technology in North America representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications.

Motoman Robots Handling and Palletizing
Raw Rubber Bales
Motoman's solution cost 25% less than competitor's existing gantry-style systems, and will require less maintenance, thus providing additional savings. Cycle time: 7.5-8 seconds per bale - 25% faster than required 10-second cycle.
Project Challenges
- Palletize 34-kg (75-lb) bales of raw rubber. Each bale is approximately 711 mm L x 368 mm W x 190 mm H (28" x 14.5" x 7.5") and is packaged in a plastic bag. Product is in a state between solid and gel that tends to settle and expand. Therefore, bales must be compressed slightly in order to palletize them.
- Robot must palletize product into one of three types of boxes, each with different stacking patterns.
- Ambient temperature in plant is often around 110° F with high humidity.
- Provide a less costly solution than existing robots that also will require less maintenance/service.
- Required cycle time: one bale/10 seconds - six per minute; maximum rate of 311 bales per hour.
Motoman Robotics Solution
- Motoman Robotics provided two mirror-image flexible material handling systems. Each system includes:
- Special SP160 robot with air-conditioned MRC controller. Robot has 160-kg (353-lb) payload capacity and four axes of movement on S-, L-, U- and T- axes. Special serial mechanical linkage keeps manipulator's end-of-arm (T-axis) faceplate and the product bales level during movement.
- 1.8 m (6-ft) steel robot riser.
- Custom end-of-arm tooling (pneumatic mechanical gripper).
- 774 mm (30.5") extension between T-axis faceplate and shock sensor/gripper.

$4 Motorola W180 can be OLPC of mobile phones
Does Motorola think it can rake in millions of dollars in revenue because of its over-priced masterpiece called the Aura? No, of course not. So what's the company going to do about it? Why, make a mobile phone for the opposite end of the price range, of course. In the far, far opposite end, that is.
If you happen to be in the UK, and are looking for a really, really, really, really cheap mobile phone that you can maybe give away to a number of your friends this Christmas, this is it. The Motorola W180 only costs an astonishing £2.89 price tag, and that's about $4.30 and €3.40.
For its price, you'd be a fool to think it would be anything else other than just a low-end mobile phone. It serves up dual-band GSM access, a small color screen, and USB 2.0 connectivity, before losing everything else.
But come to think of it, this seems like the perfect mobile phone to give away during the holiday season. Since we're in some sort of financial crisis and all, the least you could do is give something, anything, away. And you could use this for that purpose without spending too much of your money.

You will need | Wool in the colour of your choice - I used Rowan Big Wool but it's entirely up to you how thick you want your macrame to be | Plant in a pretty pot - I went for rosemary and thyme because these are going to live in my shoe-box kitchen | Keyring | Ceiling hook | Scissors
Step 1: Cut 16 pieces of wool, about a metre and a half in length and tie them tightly together about six inches from the top.
Step 2: Hold your wool in place by using your plant pot as an anchor, and then separate the strands into four sections of four strands each. Expert tip: lock the kitty cat outside because she/he will inevitably attempt to sabotage your DIY efforts!
Step 3: Take the first section of four strands of wool. Take two strands in your left hand, and two strands in your right, and then knot them together about three inches from the big knot at the top. Repeat this for the other three sections.
Step 4: Spread out the strands of wool so you now have eight sections of two strands each.
Step 5: Take the two strands from the first section and match it up with the two strands from the closest section to the left of it. Tie them together, again, about three inches from your previous knots. Repeat for the remaining sections - eventually you will end up with a square shape.
Step 6: Place your plant pot inside the square and pull the wool upwards to create the basket.
Step 7: Thread the keyring through the wool and figure out how long you want your hanger to hang.
Step 8: Tie a big knot at the top and snip off the excess wool.
Step 9: Hang on a hook, making sure your plant pot is centred - and enjoy!

Neuropathological features in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) include the presence of hyperphosphorylated forms of the microtubule-associated tau protein (tau) in hippocampal neurones. Numerous studies indicate a neuroprotective effect of calcium-binding proteins (Ca2+ binding proteins) in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., AD). Secretagogin is a newly described Ca2+ binding protein that is produced by pyramidal neurones of the human hippocampus. Recently, secretagogin expressing hippocampal neurones were demonstrated to resist tau-induced pathology in AD in contrast to the majority of neighbouring neurones. This suggested a neuroprotective effect of secretagogin in hippocampal neurones. Here, we investigated secretagogin expression in wild type (wt) mice as well as in hemizygous and homozygous P301L tau transgenic (tg) mice, which show pronounced and widespread tau pathology in hippocampal neurones. Secretagogin expression was analyzed at the immunohistochemical and biochemical levels in brains of age-matched wt and hemi- and homozygous tau tg mice. In wt mice hippocampal secretagogin-immunoreactive neurones were invariably detected, while immunoreactivity was much lower (P < 0.001) in tau tg mice. Of note, hippocampal secretagogin immunoreactivity was absent in 62.5% of homozygous tau tg mice. In line with this finding, Western blot analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in protein expression levels of secretagogin in homozygous tau tg compared to wt mice. Our results suggest that increased levels of tau negatively influence secretagogin expression in the hippocampus of tau tg mice.

Theater Shooting Victim Describes Harrowing Ordeal
McKayla Hicks Shot In Mouth
A survivor of the Aurora theater massacre, one of dozens of people injured, calmly described her injuries Saturday, seemingly numb to what had happened.McKayla Hicks, 17, still has part of a bullet in her chin, reported 7NEWS' Lindsey Sablan."I saw my tooth, and I was freaking out," Hicks said. "Tons of blood, and I remembered I have an orthodontist appointment."Being shot was almost unimaginable for Hicks, but reality hit, and she soon realized she had been shot."I'm pretty sure it shattered my gums, knocked out a tooth, moved this tooth and just landed down here in my chin," Hicks said.Hicks wasn't immediately sure what happened until she heard someone say there was a shooter.Less than two days later, Hicks seems at peace, but family and friends said that's her nature."I hope it doesn't hit me later. I told Lori I felt pretty calm the whole time," she said.Hicks will undergo surgery, but doctors are leaving the bullet in for now, because removing it would do more damage.Hicks has found a way to stay positive."It's a pretty good souvenir I got, I think," she said. "It's a weird feeling. It's just real shocking."Hicks isn't yet sure when she will have surgery, but she said her bottom front teeth will have to be replaced.

Data Model for Greyhound Training
The Area being Modelled is :-
A Data Model for Wine Lists
The Requirements have been defined in a question to the Database Answers Web Site.
Subject: Many to one relation or not ?
Question: Hi i am trying to figure out which tables i need to setup a database .. and how they will be related,
and i am hoping you can help me out
I am trying to do a training database for greyhounds .. and when we train greyhounds,
we usually do it in groups Ok...
so i have 1 table where you can enter info about the individual dog, and keep track of all of them ..
i got that part figured out
Here is the tricky part in a new table (training) that should describe todays traning run,
i can of cource put in general race data ..
but i also need to be able to pick the dogs that are participating in todays training so in the GUI
for the database i would have a list of ALL my dogs in the kennel ..
then i would pick ex. 20 out of all 50 dogs in the kennnel for todays race ..
and enter race data as described above ...
would that then be a "many to one" relasjon ...
or how do i incorporate this into my database schema,
i mean which tables do i need to do this, and how are they related ?
What confuses me is that i have multiple dogs participating in 1 race :-)
All the best ..
and thank you in advance for your answer and time spent on my question !
Per Vinding,
Barry has defined the 'Things of Interest' as follows :-
A.1 Greyhounds
A.2 Races
A.3 Results
A.4 Training Completed
A.5 Training Schedules

Quite literally, healthy roots are connected to tasty and potent buds. The relationship your pot plant's root system has with the buds is actually very complex and interesting as you start to break-it down. It can also be noted that there are some myths and folklore regarding roots and how your plants feed; let's have a look underneath, shall we?
Plants quite literally live in two worlds at the same time: there is the aerial environment, which receives light and carbon dioxide to fuel growth, then, there is the root environment or "rhizosphere" -- the dark and mysterious place that we never really get to see much of. What's going on below the surface is critical to the health and ultimately the quality and quantity of buds that can be harvested.
Below, a plants root system has very different needs. Roots need to be kept dark, moderately cool, moist and preferably in an oxygen rich environment. The polar opposite of what's going on up top in your cannabis garden.
The two biggest problems growers tend to create at the roots is too wet and too warm. This stifles plant performance because the roots become starved of oxygen. When this happens, imbalances in the natural biology in and surrounding the roots occur and plant diseases like root rot can start to set in.
In nature, the roots are usually about 15 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the air temperature, with the ground temperature remaining rather constant. It is a scientific fact that cooler temperatures in the root zone means that there is more potential for higher levels of oxygen. Roots love oxygen, but they also don't like temperature below 65 degree Fahrenheit. Once temperatures drop below this, important elements like phosphorous in the budding phase become harder to uptake.
The optimal root zone temperature is actually a rather fine line in comparison to the aerial (upper) plant environment, with the optimal range being somewhere between 65-72 degrees Fahrenheit. In contrast, a temperature range of 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit is usually what happens through an average day in nature for a cannabis plant up top, while the portion in the earth tends to remain a seasonal constant.
Do bigger root systems mean bigger yields? Not always. A bigger root system that has not reached "container bound" proportions can be more forgiving however. Growers who inoculate their growing soils with beneficial bacteria and fungi, for example like mycorrhizae can potentially build a bigger root system in the same sized pot. A root system like this will resist environmental stresses like over watering, pH fluctuation and saline conditions better than an untreated root system.
However, in a performance growing system, root systems can remain relatively compact, because they are efficient. For example, bare rooted plants in hydroponics can support massive yields of buds while having a much proportionately smaller root system. That's because in hydroponics, there is no soil or soil life to get in between nutrients and absorption by the roots.
Is one better than the other? The answer depends on what you are looking for or need in your growing experience.
Soil is forgiving and can help produce a higher percentage of dried weight (usually). Changes are slow to happen in soil, which while making it easier to manage doesn't give it the fastest growth rates.
Growers looking for faster growth rates and quick crop turn around times may find some advantages in hydro. Hydro can be especially handy for urban growing where carrying bags of soil in and out all the time isn't a good idea -- some hydro mediums like grow rocks are completely re-usable and you need only small amounts relative to plant size.
However, with good organic growing practices, healthy soils may also be re-used several times before being replaced too.
The dark underworld of roots in your cannabis crop is a fascinating one and it has a direct bearing on what's happening up top: think deep!

Although inclusive classroom education has come a long way in recent years, many families with a child with autism or Asperger Syndrome often feel shut out from involvement in the community. Lisa Jo Rudy's new book "Get Out, Explore and Have Fun" provides a rich and varied menu of suggestions for how families can take full part in community life and support the strengths and interests of their child at the same time.
Rudy notes that informal learning experiences can be the key to self-discovery, communication, self-confidence, and even independence for many children on the autism spectrum. She argues that only outside the four walls of school can a child truly discover their own passions, abilities, and social peers. "Get Out, Explore, and Have Fun" is a guide to what's out there, how to find it, and how to make it work for families.

text: And the new WBA welterweight champion was crowned. A crowd of 20,820 fans, the largest in the 10-year history of the Staples Center, watched in awe as Mosley scored a knockout at :23 of the ninth round, capping off a dominating display of hand speed that was surpassed only by the punishment of his power.Margarito, whose fans clearly outnumbered Mosley's judging from the crowd's response, was able to survive after getting up from a knock down just before the bell rang to end the eighth round.But Mosley quickly jumped on him again in the ninth, landing a left hook and right hand followed by more of the same until Margarito toppled to the canvas like a lumberjack's handiwork just as his corner threw in the towel.Few of the so-called experts gave Mosley, 37, much chance of beating a champion seven years his junior and known as the "Tijuana Tornado," because of his relentless pressure. But the Pomona, Calif. native made it seem like it was June, 2000 all over again. That's when he decisioned Oscar De La Hoya for the WBC welterweight title in the first fight ever at Staples Center.If the victory nine years ago made him a bona fide boxing super star, Mosley re-made himself Saturday night as the world's top 147-pounder."My preparation is what made this victory,'' Mosley said. "I trained so hard. I was so focused in the camp and in the ring tonight. I was so alert all the time,. Margarito is so powerful but he couldn't avoid my rhythm ."Fighting an opponent noted for a granite chin, Mosley vowed that if anybody was going to be knocked out Saturday night that it was going to be him. He proved himself right."I knew I had him after the eighth,'' said Mosley, who used a leaping right uppercut to start the barrage that led to the first knock down. "I saw the end in the next round. My corner told me to go out with everything and finish him. And that's what I did."Adding fuel to the fire before the HBO-televised bout was the controversy and potential scandal after Margarito was found to have a plaster-like substance inside both hand wraps. Initially, Nazim Richardson, Mosley's trainer, brought it to the attention of the California commission that Margarito appeared to have too much wrap on his hands.After Margarito was prompted to re-wrap his hands, that's when the hard substance was discovered. The California commission confiscated the materials and plans to investigate. Richardson said Mosley should be given his full credit for beating Margarito, who was considered a solid favorite after his 11th-round TKO against previously unbeaten Miguel Cotto took the title in July."They said he was a monster and we conquered the monster, so don't take anything away from him,'' Richardson said. "The plan we had was to exploit the pressure that he brings. We made his pressure work against him. We killed him with it."Mosley, having lost on a decision to Cotto in 2007, said he's up for a rematch. "Cotto or Margarito, it doesn't matter,'' he said.Mosley's superior speed was apparent in the first round. He landed rapid double jabs followed by an overhand right and an uppercut that made Margarito also take note of his power.Maintaining his aggressiveness in the second round, Mosley's quickness and slickness enabled him to land a n avalanche of solid punches but Margarito rallied late in the third round, landing a left hook that knocked Mosley off-balance to the delight of his fans.As noteworthy as Mosley's offense was, Margarito showed remarkable toughness by weathering three and four hard shots to make his one count.Several times, Margarito smiled and kept coming after taking the best Mosley had to offer. In the fifth round, Mosley visibly slowed his punch output and Margarito took advantage by staying busier, scoring well in the clenches and enjoying his best round to that point in the fight.Mosley re-established his dominance in the sixth round, exploding with chopping rights that came too fast for Margarito to stand any chance of eluding them."It was frustrating,'' Margarito said. "I just couldn't avoid the right hand. I kept getting caught over and over. He has a lot of experience. I just couldn't put any punches together."Related mediaFight PhotosShane Mosley's Greatest Hits(7:02)Shane Mosley - My Story(5:00)Shane Mosley - Day In the Life(4:55)Watch 2009-01-24 Antonio Margarito vs Shane MosleyCurrently Not AvailableFull HBO Schedule

FOOD FRAUD: Most people strive to achieve a healthy lifestyle of exercising and eating healthy, but you may not be eating as healthy as you think. Food labels at grocery stores label their food as "all natural" or "fat-free", but this does not always mean that they are considered healthier than other foods. Food fraud is defined as a food that is composed of ingredients that are not supposed to be there and are unlabeled. The worst part about it is that consumers do not realize the change of ingredients. One of the simplest foods that is sold in grocery stores and frequently purchased is honey. Recently, Groeb Farms, one of the nation's largest honey suppliers was caught importing cheap and adulterated honey from China. This makes us question, what are the right groceries to buy while shopping and how do we know that we are getting what we pay for? Some nutritionists will recommend that buying organic foods are the safest bet; but not all "natural" foods are phonies, and making simple changes while at the grocery store may save you from falling for phony foods. (Source: http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/food-fraud-11-most-common-cases?s=1)
PHONY FOODS: Some of the foods that we typically buy are the foods that contain hidden ingredients or are flat out imposters. One way to stay away from food fraud is to find a supplier that you can trust. Be on the lookout for food fraud in these so-called "healthy" foods:
HOW TO TRACK FOOD FRAUD: The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention has created a database for reports of food fraud. This database is useful to those who are concerned about the food they buy and it will provide them with reports of recent food frauds. Within the database is a Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) that covers all of the ingredients of the food reported. The FCC is also beneficial to manufacturers to help them distinguish genuine products. In return, this will make food suppliers carry safer foods, which will give customers a piece of mind about the food they are consuming.

COLUMBUS (AP) — There's an invasion taking place across Ohio.
Stink bugs — first identified in Pennsylvania in 1998 — are making their way into homes across Ohio. The brown, shield-shaped insects have been spreading throughout Ohio over the last six years or so.
Researchers say that even though the bugs have only been around for a short time, they expect they will be here to stay. Most think they got to the United States in containers shipped from Asia.
Stink bugs search out warm places when the weather cools and that's why they're moving into homes.
The pests are a threat to crops, but not to people.
But they do give off a foul odor whet they're squished.
Make a solution of 2 tablespoons of garlic powder or salt , mix with 8 oz. of water . Put into a spray bottle and go spray around all of your windows and doors. Stink bugs can't stand the odor of garlic. Rumor has it , that stinkbugs are really liberturds put here by OBAMMY LOL
In keeping with these soft and respectful times, when one can not call it like it is without offending the thin skinned among us, I suggest that the name "stink bug" be changed.
I have no suggestions for a non-offensive name but surely there are some available that will respect this lowly insect.

Running From Crazy
"But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
- Ernest Hemingway
Imagine living in a world where one has many projections of suicide thoughts constantly playing in one's mind. It is never ending, the pictures keep appearing in your mind without a notice and you wish to stop it. You are desperately looking for the off button from this film that never seems to end inside your head. The harder you try to act or feel normal the worse the thoughts become and they haunt you at night while you try to sleep. "Just be positive." "Think positive." It is easier said than done. For a person who lives through this struggle, changing the mental habits of a pre-existing condition in ones' mind that others don't understand and can't see how difficult it is just to survive one day without attempting to make the thoughts come true is extremely hard. Throughout my life I've seen and heard many end their lives. I used to envy them, because they had the courage to follow through from their thoughts. Not to depreciate those who have committed the act but as I got older I realized the real warrior or courageous person is the one who is able to stay alive while fighting a secret battle no one will ever see or understand. I've learned to live with it and tweak it if it's possible. Obviously, thinking positive thoughts help, but what made me feel extremely better and gain control of satisfaction was helping others. Volunteering, donating, and serving those who are less fortunate has been a gift or some sort of medication that I needed. Feeling needed made my soul feel productive and developed a sense of joy inside me. Working and serving without asking anything in return such as monetary gain or favors, has been the best feeling I ever gotten and it slowly diminishes the empty sadness with the swirling negative thoughts that come with it.
Running from Crazy shows a glimpse of Mariel Hemingway's dark past that consists of her grandfather Ernest Hemingway's suicide and seven more others in her family. Her reality was a broken and intense relation among her relatives. The documentary also mainly portrays her relationships between her two sisters Margaux Hemingway who also committed suicide and Muffet Hemingway who was diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia. Mariel Hemingway beat the odds and her accomplishment was to face the dark past and regain the power she needed to stay alive. Learning healthy habits such as eating well is just one step closer to overcome depression. Mariel Hemingway was able to turn around the darkness and give light to her family and was able to start anew for her daughter. Running from Crazy was directed by Barbara Kopple.

The 'Cunt Pump' is a drink available in a few select New York bars. It contains: tomato juice, a double shot of vodka, a spoonful of French mustard and a dash of lime. It is not mixed, but served with a tampon.
We recommend washing this down with a 'Royal Douche', which consists of Crown Royal on the rocks, with a splash of Summer's Eve for freshness.
Longest Human Clitoris...
In the book The Sexual Anatomy of Women, W. Francis Benedict claims to have met woman with a 12 inch clitoris.
Hey Francis, did you check to see if that woman had balls and an Adam's apple too?
Most Ironically Named Pope...
Pope Innocent VIII (1484-92) sired eight illegitimate sons and probably as many daughters, of whom he openly acknowledged. His reign as Pope was known as 'The Golden Age of Bastards'. On his deathbed he requested a wet nurse in order to fulfil his dying wish - Fresh milk from a woman's breast.
His death was recreated in the film: Vatican Titty; Wet and Willing Nurses
Priciest Prostitute...
It is reported that in 283 BC a Greek prostitute named Lamia was paid 25.8 kg. of gold for her services. The value of gold at the time was $313 an ounce... That's 64.9 million dollars!!!
Judging by the price, she must have been the inventor of "Greek" sex... And she was very very good at it too.
Lena - The World's Oldest Stripper
Highest Grossing Porno Film...
Filmed over six days, 1972's Deep Throat cost $22,000 to make, but took in a whopping 100 million dollars!
That's 10 million dollars an inch!
Greatest Number of Breasts...
In 1886, Dr, P.J. Stoyanoff reported examining a Polish woman who had 10 functioning breasts which could all produce milk.
Which is probably where we get the expression: "Why pay for milk when I can get the lactating Polish woman with ten breasts for free?"
World's Oldest Stripper...
A 74 year old woman named Lena from the United Kingdom has been stripping for 25 years. She has seven children and ten grandchildren.
If this stripping granny offers to give you a handful of 'hard candy', make sure you're absolutely clear on what she means.
Most Unlikely Porn Star...
When wheelchair-bound woman with a muscle control disorder called ataxia complained that disabled people were never featured in adult films, a porn producer decided to hold a casting call for aspiring disabled porn stars. The woman who originally filed the complaint was the only one to show up. She became known as 'Encarta' and stared in the porn film Breaking Barriers.

2005's Pirates by Adam & Eve Productions, was filmed in HD with Hollywood caliber sets, costumes, sound and special effects. It's total production cost was over one million dollars. It was released as a 3-disk set and retailed at $70.
After spending all that money, it's a shame that most of us are still going just going to fast-forward straight to the sex scenes.
Most Perverted Theme Park...
South Korea's 'Love Land' is an outdoor sculpture park which is focused on a theme of sex. It features 140 sculptures representing humans in various sexual positions, large penis statues, stone vaginas, and interactive "rides" such as a "masturbation-cycle."
Least popular ride: "The Bukkake Bumper Boats".
Strangest Sleep Disorder...
Sexsomnia is an actual medical condition that causes people to commit sexual acts while they are asleep. People suffering from this condition usually have no recollection of the sexual act after they wake up.

Largest Collection of Penises...

While the museum doesn't have any human penises yet, several people have pledged to be "organ" donors.
Greatest Name for a Town...

Kyle's Sabers
As i recall his 1st saber was Rahn's (the green one) then he got Yun's (the yelow/gold one) but this is where i get confused, in MoTS he had a orange one. originaly i asumed that this orange sabre was supposed to be Yun's only they were in such a rush to come out with MoTS that they forgot it was gold.
But when JK2 came out and he had a blue one i started thinking, is the Blue one his third or fourth one?
Was the MoTS sabre the one he reseved from Yun's sacrifce or did Kyle create his own?
Beside that Question i hope for Kyle's sake that he made the blue one and didn't recive it from some other (Dark?) Jedi.
Im sorry about this, but could you delete that post and put it in one of the other 8 threads? Sorry, but there is a whole page about the saber
yeah, these posts are getting annoying....but....its only blue because this level has nothing to do with the game. It was just rushed for E3 in order to get the level out just to show of the features!!!!

College Hockey:Sixth Ranked Yale Displays Offensive Strength, Doubles Up Colgate
Little Nets Two in Winning Effort
HAMILTON, N.Y. — As the regular season enters its final stretch, every point is becoming more important with each passing day. Friday night at Starr Rink, the No. 6 Yale Bulldogs were able to claim two big points in a well-fought battle with the Colgate Raiders in a 6-3 win.
Offense was the story of this game and early on, the ice was tilted in Yales favor.
On their first power play of the game, Yale looked strong. Jeff Anderson had the puck at the point. He sent it into the corner where Brian ONeill picked it up, skated behind the Colgate net, and dished it out to Andrew Miller. Miller was just inside the left face off circle where he was able to backhand the puck off the crossbar and into the net, giving Yale a 1-0 lead at 3:53.
Later in the first, Yale broke out of the zone as Miller hit Sean Backman at the Bulldog blue line. Backman then zipped a headman pass to Brian ONeill, sending him in on a breakaway. As ONeill tried to deke around Colgate goaltender Alex Evin, he lost control of the puck. Evin was already committed, though, and the puck was able to trickle past him and in the net, putting Yale up by two.
Colgate was able to respond.
In a delayed penalty situation, Colgate was able to maintain possession of the puck and pull Evin out of the net. This gave the Raiders a 6-on-5 advantage until Yale gained control of the puck. Colgate held the puck away from Yale for a good half minute, then they were able to strike.
Robbie Bourdon switched off with Nathan Sinz, leaving him the puck near the end boards. Sinz then hit Francois Brisebois at the top of the circle. Brisebois was able to wrist it past Billy Blase in net and get Colgate back into the game, 2-1 at 15:59.
A Colgate icing with only 24 seconds left in the first period seemed innocent enough at the time, however, the period is not over until the buzzer sounds. Yale won the face off and controlled the puck.
Denny Kearney was able to put the puck on net with less than five seconds left, Evin made a diving save, but the rebound flopped out to Broc Little. Little had an empty net and was able to put the puck in with just one second remaining on the clock. That huge swing of momentum put Yale up 3-1 to end the first period.
Anytime you can get a goal (in the final minute), it has a psychological advantage, said Yale head coach Keith Allain. That one in particular was huge.
The second period was fairly even, consisting of a 5-on-3 chance for Colgate in which they were not able to capitalize. Yale was again able to get one of those big goals Allain was talking about, scoring with just 57 seconds left in the period. Sean Backman picked up the puck in the corner and cut across the high slot. Backman was able to beat Evin to the five-hole, and Yale was up 4-1. Assists were awarded to Andrew Miller and Brian ONeill.
Our power play has failed us when we have needed it, said Colgate head coach Don Vaughan. If it was better we couldve got one and hung around. But the 5-on-3 was the turning point.
Yales power play, on the other hand, was strong throughout the game. Early in the third, during a carryover Colgate penalty, Yale cashed in. Alex Evin made a few scrambling saves, but a shot by Yales Jimmy Martin from the point left a big rebound out in front, where Broc Little was able to put it in. This gave Yale a 5-1 lead with just 18:31 left in the game.
Any time youre playing a good team like that, special teams are a big factor, Allain said. We were fortunate they were working for us tonight.
Tensions continued to rise on both ends of the ice, as big hits began to pile up. Colgate seemed to begin to play with more desperation, taking more and more chances as time was winding down on them. Colgate was able to put one home on the power play. Thomas Larkin worked the puck to David McIntyre. McIntyre skated out of the left corner and passed it out in front to Robbie Bourdon. Bourdon was able to wrist a shot over Blases shoulder with just under five minutes left.
Youd like to play that way the entire game, not just in the last few minutes, said Vaughan. We need that intensity from the drop of the puck. We have to turn that aspect around.
Yale thwarted any hopes of a Colgate comeback just 1:23 later when Backman scored his second of the game.
Colgate was able to put one more in before the night ended as Francois Brisebois scored his second of the game. He picked up the puck in the Yale offensive zone and was able to circle out to the hash marks and beat Blase with 2:43 left in the game.
The game ended 6-3 in favor of the Bulldogs, but not without a few post whistle scraps in the last couple of minutes resulting in a few coincidental penalties.
Both teams are in action tomorrow night, as Yale heads off to play a highly anticipated game at Cornell while Colgate will try to get back on track as they host Brown. Both games will start at 7 p.m.

Excellent Product
Reviewer: A viewer from Brooklyn, NY
I use these shanks for steelhead and trout patterns like the Intruder, Senyo's AI,and marabou sculpins. I am a big fan.
Defining Features: Straight eye vs. the Senyo version with an upturned eye.
JS has these at the best price anywhere.
Easy to tie with
Wire is too thick to attach most hooks directly via the eye. I generally tie in a intruder wire loop attached to a stinger.
