TUPELO – Mississippi is going gray.
The state's population of residents aged 60-74 grew at a faster clip in the past decade than did any other age group, according to U.S. Census Bureau data in conjunction with a report on the aging released last week.
Mississippi's 60-to-64-year-old population spiked 41.5 percent since the start of the century, and its 65-to-74-year-old group rose by 15.5 percent during the same period.
No other age category came close to those climbs, except the 45-to-54-year-old group, which rose by 15.2 percent. And of the seven age groups younger than that, five saw their numbers shrink.
"The census numbers reflect the aging of Mississippi's baby boomers," said Ronda Gooden, associate state director for communications for AARP Mississippi.
Baby boomers were born during the post-World War II era of 1946 through 1964, and the oldest of them now are entering their golden years.
The data on aging was compiled in conjunction with a report on the nation's 65-and-older population, which grew at a faster rate between 2000 and 2010 than in any previous census. Nationally, senior citizens increased by 15.1 percent during this period.
In Mississippi, the 65-plus set grew by 10.7 percent. That's versus the state's overall population growth of 4.3 percent during the past decade. In Northeast Mississippi, that age group ballooned by 14.3 percent during that time.
"As larger numbers of males and females reach age 65 years and over, it becomes increasingly important to understand this population as well as the implications population aging has for various family, social and economic aspects of society," the census report stated.
Those are issues closely studied by AARP Mississippi, which has been holding a series of conversations across the state about transportation, housing and the ability to age at home instead of at nursing or assisted-living facilities.
"It continues to be true that nine out of 10 older people want to stay in their homes for as long as possible," Gooden said, "and AARP's research shows that nine out of 10 people age 60-plus do precisely that."
But many seniors will need outside help from organizations like the Three Rivers Area Agency on Aging. Serving an eight-county area in Northeast Mississippi, it provides a host of services like home-delivered meals, transportation, respite care and case management.
"The biggest thing it will do with us down the road, when it really hits, will increase waiting lists, because there won't be the funds to provide all the services," said Cleveland Joseph, TRAAA director. "The family will have to pick up some of the slack."

I'm grateful for the sacrifices my great grandfather, Francis Webster, made in coming to Utah with the Martin Handcart Company. I'm grateful for the courage and conviction my great grandfather, Samuel Leigh, showed when he, came to Utah in the mid 1850s. His son, my grandfather, joined his siblings to pull his father from a burning house while they lived in Iowa. My grandfather was 5 years old. The oldest sibling was 7 years old. I'm showing my appreciation and love to my ancestors by being active in the Church today, following our living prophets, and doing what I can to teach my children to walk in the steps of their ancestors. They followed their convictions. Now, it's up to us.

I'm grateful to my pioneer ancestors for all they did to make our family's life what it is today and I'm equally grateful for the pioneers I've met in many nations who are going against the tide of immorality, dishonesty and selfishness and laying the foundation for a better life of peace, spirituality, education and family living in their countries today. Pioneers are all around us...

I hope my friends in the LDS Church will also recognize the efforts of the many people of conscious who stepped forward to help their ancestors. Judge John Kane, and his son Thomas L. Kane, earned considerable scorn and anger from their friends when they used their influence to get James K. Polk to agree to a plan for a "Mormon Battalion." LDS Historian B. H. Roberts acknowledges that the more than 250,000 men had already volunteered for the 50,000 positions in the Mexican-American War. The government did not need the help of the Mormons nor did they ever draft them. Brigham Young asked for those non-combat positions to help pay for the trek West. In addition many prominent people in the Washington, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities raised money and clothing for the Mormons. I think it is unfortunate that the work these people of conscious did to help a much despised and misunderstood people is often overlooked.

As i have taken this quiz, and looked at the quotes, amid the tears in my eyes, my heart is so grateful for the Pioneers. Many of them my ancestors who are an example to me to Live the Gospel. Sometimes times are tough, but the Lord is always there to help us. I am so grateful for the example they set to follow the Prophet, and prayerfully I can teach my posterity the same principles that we may be together forever as a family.

Performing Kegels & More
kegel exercisesWhen I'm not urinating, how do I know if I'm performing my Kegel exercises right? Do the exercises make any part of me move or do I feel anything? How do I know I'm working out my PC muscle?
While it would be slightly amusing — albeit quite bizarre — if you could control any part of your body with your PC muscle, I'm afraid the answer is: No. The PC muscle can't help you wiggle your ears, but it can definitely make your penis move. So, aside from doing your Kegel exercises while urinating, you can also strengthen your PC muscle by contracting and relaxing it when your penis is erect, which will cause the organ to move up and down. Perform your Kegels a few times every day, and you'll reap the sexual and health benefits of a stronger PC muscle.

no erectionI have had serious problems with getting blow jobs for a while now. It seems that every time I get one it feels amazing, but after a certain point my whole body begins to tingle and my penis becomes numb and loses its hardness. I have no idea what is wrong, and it really turns off my girlfriend because she feels like she is doing something wrong. It's not her though, because it happens anytime a girl gives me a blow job. What's wrong with me? Why do I tingle all over and lose hardness?
Since you report having this problem with every woman who performs oral sex on you, we can rule out telling your girlfriend that she's bad at doing the deed. That being said, one major issue that some men have during sex is with anxiety. If you have body image issues or are embarrassed by your penis size, you're less likely to maintain an erection during a sexual act that centers around that part of your body.
Also, keep in mind that the majority of sexual dysfunctions are related to psychology. In other words, if you keep telling yourself that you become flaccid during oral sex, you will continue to become flaccid during oral sex. The remedy? Try switching up the routine a bit; perhaps she can start by using her hands and you can show her specific strokes you'd like her to use. Applying some lube might also increase sensation and heighten your sense of pleasure. As for the actual act of oral sex, don't be shy in communicating with your partner how you'd like her to stimulate you. Communication is key to solving your problem.

My goodness I was on a roll there with the blogs and then work and work and oh more work trampled down on me. LOL So here is a quick catch up
Sunday was my WW meeting and weigh in. I am down 3 pounds so from what I thought I was prior to WW and now I am down 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm not being unhealthy about this journey and I am doing it all with the right tools. I am shooting for 5 pounds this week, but in the end I will be happy with anything above a pound.
My workouts have been a steady dose of cardio and I even got to the gym on Saturday morning with my hubby and son. I did 18 miles on the stationary bike and felt great! I have always loved riding a bike and will be buying myself one this spring/summer! My plan is still to add in the strength training at the end of Feb/beginning of March. I really miss that part of my workouts but I also knew that I needed to edge myself back into all this. I'm praying that I win the 3-30min personal training sessions that my gym at work is giving away. Everytime I scan my card I'm entered in...which helps push me there!!
So over all I'm doing good still. I have stepped away from the Just Dance every night so I do need to pick that up as well as my ABs with the daughter. One step at a time and the steps I'm taking so far are great!

Kim you are doing great and I am so very very proud of you! I do have my calendar on the wall, I just needed to wake up my brain to organize things, mostly my thoughts. LOL
So today I have been juicing. I have totally cleaned my kitchen and it looks awesome!! (hey, you've seen the aftermath of a Tom/Cori hurricane....it was there)
I have attempted twice to head out the door but tummy rumbles pulled me back. I will give it another half hour to attempt my 1st C25 to Target, PetsMart, and Lincolns Crossing to sign up for the gym. Hoping it's just the juice and not what's going around.
I'm here on it WITH you this time so yes! Let's quit dodging each other. LOL
Hear Beth is feeling pressure...getting so excited for her :o)

That is perhaps a bit of an advertisement, but a couple of collaborators and myself just sent out a paper, and one of the results there is a little bit surprising. We found (in section 6E) a fermionic local symmetry which closes to a tensor gauge symmetry and therefore does not imply (contrary to common lore) the presence of gravity. The construction is in the context of the six dimensional (2,0) theory, and uses in an essential way properties of chiral fermions in six dimensions, but one has to wonder if this is more general.
So my question is simple - does this ring a bell? are there any other known examples?

Amy Chua's recent essay in The Wall Street Journal, "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior," has ignited controversy and drawn both applause and criticism.
The essay is about her new book Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mom, a memoir of her journey as a parent. Her parenting style employs extreme discipline that's intended to produce academic and musical excellence—an approach she suggests is stereotypical of many Asian Immigrant parents.
In an effort to bring a conscious parent's perspective to the debate, Namaste Publishing asked Dr Shefali Tsabary, author of the book The Conscious Parent, several pointed questions about the Tiger Mom's approach to parenting.
What are your initial thoughts on the Tiger Mom controversy?
Amy's book offers a viewpoint that at first glance seems radical. On further investigation, it becomes clear that it's not that different from what many parents in fact do. It's just that she's blunt about her convictions, which she is unafraid to project onto her children through severe and punitive means. So I don't see her approach as that different after all.
Far from being new and radical, Amy's method actually follows one of the most archaic approaches to parenting, which espouses dominance and majors in control because it regards our children as our possessions. Nothing new here. She is advocating a primitive notion of what children require in order to thrive, a parenting style that emanates from and bolsters the parent's ego.
More importantly, this approach overlooks the potential of the parent-child relationship to initiate a journey of personal growth for not only the child but also the parent, which is what my book The Conscious Parent brings into focus.
Having said this, it seems to me that some who are attacking Amy's approach are themselves stuck in a binary mode of thinking: she's wrong, we are right. We don't want to get into a knee-jerk reaction, but to enter into a thorough investigation of what the parent-child relationship can and should be.
What does the Tiger Mom say that resonates?
She talks about believing in our children's innate potential, as well as the need to focus on their strengths rather than their fragility. This is aligned with the conscious parenting paradigm. However, we can't isolate focusing on strengths from the method used to bring out our children's abilities. In fact, the how is key to just how successful we will be in this venture.
To see the difference between saying we are focusing on our children's strengths, and what this actually looks like in terms of implementation, we need to ask what Amy means when she says she believes in a child's potential. Do children only have the potential to accomplish great things, but not the potential to discover on their own what their natural bent is?
In other words, on the one hand Amy states that children are fully capable, while on the other hand she controls them to such an extent that one might question whether she truly believes in them. How can we believe a child is "great" on one level, then treat them as if they are incapable of wisdom in practice? The approach screams of parental insecurity, not security.
A parent who is secure in themselves has no fear of their child's imperfections and mistakes, but trusts that children are innately capable of finding themselves. Indeed, the struggle to identify their authentic voice is far more important than the perfect regurgitation of someone else's dream of who they are.
Is this really an East versus West debate? Can you comment from the perspective of an Indian mom?
It is pitched as an East versus West debate because we instinctively gravitate toward polarized positions. After all, it's polarized debate that sells.
In reality Amy's approach touches on the parental shadow that's involved in universally in parenting, affecting parents in both the East and the West. By "shadow," I'm referring to the parent's unresolved emotional issues, which is a part of ourselves we generally don't recognize is invariably active whenever we are in the parenting role.
Amy seems quite unapologetic about her shadow, instead of exercising caution concerning how she may be projecting it onto her children. In contrast, The Conscious Parent cautions parents to constantly check on their own motivation, because what's really driving the way we parent in any given incident is so often hidden.
Amy's approach involves the ancient belief that parents should exercise tyranny over a child's will, which from time immemorial has dominated in both the East and the West, though it's now breaking down in both, the West a little ahead of most of the East.
Amy just expresses this archaic approach in a more blatant, unapologetic manner, but it's really no different from the philosophy of the Indian father in rural or not-so-rural India who marries off his nine or twelve- year-old daughter to a man three times her age simply because he believes this is "for her own good." No doubt he feels great love for his daughter, so that he's well-intentioned in what he's doing. But the fact is that his philosophy assumes total control over his daughter's destiny.
It's this hierarchical, dogmatic, and often abusive system of parenting that we all need to stay away from, both in the East and the West. Such an approach is born of and feeds the parent's ego, which in its full-blown version amounts to nothing less than a dictatorship.
Is the goal of parenting to produce math whizzes and musical prodigies, or do we need to prepare our children for life in other ways?
External success in academics or the arts isn't necessarily a measure of self-esteem. Some of the most successful people have terribly low self-esteem, which is why they have a need to compensate by making a lot of money or becoming famous. Also, research has shown that extrinsic motivation rarely lasts long. The person eventully crashes and burns out.
On a deeper level, what we foster in our children when we push them to achieve is a dependence on external success for their sense of wellbeing. Instead of being seen as entirely wonderful just by the fact of their conception, they gain our regard only if they achieve certain an external goals. This is a highly conditional form of love, and in terms of fostering creativity unimaginative to boot.
If you don't use the Tiger Mom's approach of instilling self-esteem through external achievement and the validation that accompanies it, how do you instill self-esteem?
I believe self-esteem results from a stream of factors, the most important of which is a sturdy connection to one's inner self and thence to others.
How does the tiger mom's book reflect the need for Parents to be more conscious, that it is indeed a journey of the parent?
When we approach parenting from a highly egoic state, we project onto our children a destiny that isn't organically theirs. While this approach may result in children who are outwardly successful, it robs both parent and child of the chance to engage in the process of self-discovery.
Such parenting perhaps creates highly achieving children, but they are often children who simply don't know themselves at a deep level. As they often discover in mid-life crisis, they aren't really engaged at a heart level with what they do.
Amy's approach saves the parent from the onus of struggling with their own conditioning. From a spiritual point of view, this is a waste of an opportunity to grow. We may raise outwardly successful children, but at the expense of our own development.
Is there a balance between pushing our children to be the best they can be, which includes instilling principles such as hard work and sacrifice, and allowing them to navigate their own lives?
I suspect many parents are afraid that if they don't push their children to do things, their children will lie on the couch all day. If we come from a place of fear, naturally we will justify our tyrannical approach to parenting as a means of keeping our children from being "lazy," "unmotivated," and "unproductive."
It's all a question of the philosophy we hold about humanity and our place in the Universe. When all we have is a hammer in our toolkit, everything appears as a nail.
Whereas a fearful approach promotes competition over cooperation, outcome over process, a confident approach exhibits a deep trust in our children's ability to find their way and express themselves as they are meant to. Our job as parents is to provide the gentle guidance for this exploration.
When we come from a deep sense of our own security, we recognize that we need to create guidelines, while at the same time we are aware that pushing our children leads to inauthenticity—and we know that inauthenticity robs our children of the right to be who they instinctively are.
Hard work and sacrifice are inevitable fruits of nurturing an honest approach to life in the family. If we parents manifest authenticity in our interactions with our children, trusting them to perform as is developmentally appropriate, our children will work quite spontaneously within the confines of life's realities.
It's a mistaken and dangerous assumption that our children will exhibit humanity's worst traits if we aren't breathing down their necks, threatening them with punishment and inflicting on them what amounts to abuse.

At least one slot shall be allocated to each five-year age group category in which any age group athlete sends in an application, both male and female, per the age group categories listed above. If there are no athletes entered in the race in a particular age group, then that slot will be moved to the largest populated age group in that same gender. For additional age group slots, slot allocation shall be representative of the actual number of age grouper applicants in each category in the race. As an example, if 8% of the age-group applicants are females 40-44, then 8% of these slots would be allocated in the female 40-44 category.*
Regulation from World Triathlon Cooperation (WTC):
Starting in 2009, the Ford Ironman World Championship and all qualifying events will implement both the International Triathlon Federation and USA Triathlon´s Age Group Competition rule, which states that "All age group athletes must participate and compete in the age group division corresponding to the athlete´s age on December 31 of the year of the event."
*Final slot allocation will be posted on the event website and at the race site the day before the race. The number of slots per category might be slightly changed later on based on the exact number of applications per category.
THIS>> is the final slot calculation for 2015

You can walk the 10 miles of aisles; you can try out balls, clubs and more in any of the 45 hitting bays located inside the Orange County Convention Center, home of the annual golf extravaganza known as the PGA Merchandise Show.
But how do you separate the men from the boys- the legit products from the rest when looking at the show as a whole?
It's tough. Just about every product at the show has some merit or redeeming quality, but each I year I look forward to giving my picks of what I liked and got my attention at the PGA Merchandise Show when it comes to technology.
Drive for show and putt for dough is the old saying, but is it true? The experts say, yes. So putting is important. Thankfully companies like Rife and Orlimar are stepping up to the plate to help your putting stroke in 2014. Rife putters have grooves that allow you to grip the ball as you swing and have more control. The new Vault.002 Series of putters offer four new Iconic models as well as the Chief, General, Ranger and Commander. Rife also is an innovator with their "Switchback" model that lets you add or subtract weight to the putter head. Orlimar is another big name when it comes to putter and they have teamed up with a legendary name. That would be Tad Moore for the Tad Moore Signature Series of putters. Each putter in the series offers traditional shapes with game improvement features and a patented washboard face milling. Golfers can be confident they will have more consistency, accuracy and a better idea of distance control.
Controlling your central point of focus is key to getting that perfect golf swing. EyeLoc Head Gear is eyewear designed as a training aid to help keep a golfer's eyes focused on the ball. Adjust the vertical lines to get that sharp line and with the slightest head or eye movement, your line will come off the ball. I'm hoping this helps keep my head still. EyeLoc Head Gear is available in two sizes, medium and large. Take your pick of two colors; Yellow or Black and the choice of either Dark Gray Polaroid or Yellow lenses. A simple concept, but one that works with some high tech head gear.
New Balance Golf Shoes
The name New Balance means quality when it comes to footwear, and that excites a lot of golfers. New Balance showed off spikeless models are part of their Minimus Collection. These golf shoes will be similar in build to New Balance's running shoes. Cleated shoes will feature a lightweight, flexible and supportive TPU outsole for stability and balance during the load-bearing phases of the swing. Champ will partner for the cleats and these shoes no doubt will be comfortable, durable, and high performance.
New Balance Golf footwear will be available in D, 2E and 4E widths for men and in B and D widths for women in modern-looking styles.
Adams is the maker of the most-used hybrids on the PGA Tour for what is now six consecutive seasons. 37% of all hybrids played on the PGA Tour are Adams. For 2014 they have revamped their irons and after talking with one of their club engineers you hear about all the technology and research that occurs when Adams releases new products. Adams is a golf club manufacturer that has embraced technology and they aren't shy about talking about it.
It's not a new product, but now it's enhanced. The Bluetooth-enabled SwingSmart sensor module clips to a golf club shaft in a matter of moments. It weighs less than 1 ounce and wirelessly communicates with the free app for iOS and Android devices. This now brings us to a completely new interface for the SwingSmart app that now gives access to all of your swing data including the 3-D Swing View without having to change through multiple screens.
Oakley rarely disappoints and they didn't at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show. New bags, shoes, and clothes, but what caught my attention were a pair of sun glasses that help your read greens. The glasses bring out the contours and breaks in green. You will be hearing more about this product.
SCNS Sports Foods
Energy bars designed especially for golfers. SCNS launched a new gluten-free Golf Energy Bar flavor, the 1st Tee Honey Almond Snack Bar at the PGA Show. They also had all of their 1st and 10th Tee flavors out for attendees to taste. There is no doubt they were having a busy show. The bars are delicious and help you get through a long round of golf in a healthy and nutritious way.
If you watch the Winter Olympics in a couple weeks, you will see various teams wearing Loudmouth designed clothing. Loudmouth first got its start in golf and for years they have been telling golfers to play LOUD! It's loud clothing, but it;s cool, trendy, and the technology in the men's and women's lines mkes the apparel durable and comfortable. You will also be seeing a lot more of Loudmouth. They have entered into licensing deals with makers of hats, ties, and even putter grips. It's a fun company and I love the apparel and check out all their lines for 2014.
My wildcard pick from the Inventor's Showcase this year is the HoleInOner. It's a patented combination bottle opener refrigerator magnet. It's in the shape of a golf tee and the marketing and licensing possibilities with this item are endless. The HoleInOner is put out by www.golfnetx.com.

Tips for How to Make a Summer Tentpole Movie
To 3-D or not to 3-D? Which story arcs should you base a comic book character reboot on? Such are the questions that currently keep film producers up at night, and all were all addressed at the "Raising Your Tentpole" panel Saturday morning at the "Produced By" conference in Burbank, Calif.
Moderator Ian Bryce, himself a producer on the "Transformers" franchise, began the session by asking speakers Bonnie Arnold, Kevin Feige, Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter about their selection process when trying to figure out what material to adapt into a potential big-budget adventure. All on-stage agreed with Shuler Donner, who said that underneath all the special effects and explosions, "good stories and good characters" were still the key to any good tentpole. Using the "X-Men" franchise, which she produced, as an example, she noted that the superheros of Marvel Comics' mutant world, such as Wolverine, were conflicted, tragic heroes that had enough psychological drama to sustain several movies. She added that she now primarily reads only reading samples, and find the news a good source for ideas. Winter, who worked with Shuler Donner on the first four "X-Men" films, stressed the importance of creating interesting new worlds while Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, brought up the film "Blade" as an example of a little-known, but rich source of material from the roughly 8,000 to 10,000-character Marvel Universe.
Optioning Rights and Remaining True to Characters
On the subject of optioning rights, the panelists counseled fellow producers to keep the writers of their scripts original, optioned material close, but not to the detriment of the project. There were certainly pitfalls to keeping the original author involved, said Shuler Donner, but it behooved producer to keep the writers involved. Arnold cited her good relationship with "How to Train Your Dragon" author Cressida Cowell (and her kids) for ability to change the appearance of a popular dragon character in the film version. Winter, who currently holds the rights to Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein" series, reminded the audience that producers, in the end, were simply great salesmen, able to pitch projects to studios and obtain rights from often tightly guarded estates. Shuler Donner also advocated for tenacity, explaining how when associate producer Scott Nimerfro first brought the X-Men property to her, they un-successfully pitched the project to Warner Bros. (they turned it down because they had a relationship with DC Comics) but successfully to Fox, where discussions were held up between the studio and Marvel "got sticky" over merchandising rights.
Feige impressed upon the audience the importance of keeping the essence of a character, but not being afraid to make changes where necessary, such as updating Tony Stark to having fought in Afghanistan. As a corollary, he added that while economics dictated that tentpole movies be made for all four quadrants, meaning both men and women, and both young and old, it was also important to recognize the superfans. As an example, the noted that there was no reason for the character Thor to have six discs on his breastplate and a red cape that came up high above his shoulders. But because it was key to who Thor was and what readers liked about the character, it stayed.
Merchandising and Marketing
All the panelists acknowledged the need to feed the beast of marketing, a ask that has become harder as almost 70% of a films' grosses are now made overseas and studios must coordinate simultaneous openings in film markets around the world. Shuler Donner stressed the importance of targeted marketing (i.e. directing comic book movies at young males) and added that increasingly, she's tried to rearrange her shooting schedule so that her team to can shoot more complicated visual effects shots near the beginning of a production, so that they can be ready to go for the marketing team. As a final point, she said that she now considered internet advertising just as important as television advertising.
Feige fielded the merchandising question and summed up his thoughts by telling the audience the day the merchandising drives a story, is the day the quality starts going down.
Shuler Donner, who has not made a 3-D movie, began the discussion by saying that she thought there were a few too many 3-D movies in the marketplace at the moment, given the poor economy. Winter added that because there's no current standard for 3-D, there's a lot of experimentation, which in turn adds time to the pipeline. He also stressed that certain movies simply shouldn't be made in 3-D, taking a not-so-veiled jab at the vampire film "Priest." While Arnold protested, bringing up the 3-D animation in the film "How to Train Your Dragon," Winter conceded that animation was "uniquely suited" to 3-D because the filmmakers were able to control all aspects of the scenes.

John - I added your comment to a discussion, that way people can link to it more easily, and all the comments will be in one place. You can find it here: Shut down pros and Cons
Shut down pros and cons; I'm running a show with a hybrid collection of fixtures, conventional, scrollers, movers and LEDs and am wondering if there is a definitive ansewer to daily shutdown. I shut off discharge lamps by dmx but there are still are fans and internal processors running verses cutting power and then restarting a day later with all the resetting and homing procedures of scrollers and movers. There is also the electronic issue of shutting off the console or not. My normal procedure is; turn on control (console, splitter) then power on fixtures. End of show reverse the process.
My question is; given the wear and tear of the startup conniptions does this make sense on a daily basis? When the show is dark for 2-3 days yes but daily?
Aaron, $60-80K for a Grand Ma or $6-8K for an ETC Ion. If your facility has the money, bless you. I would go with the Ion and if you have money left over get some new units - LEDs, movers, Seachangers - whatever you could forsee needing and using.
John, ACLs produce a nice bright white light, and if need be put some Rx 3216 or 3208 (1/8 or 1/4 Blue) gel in front to "whiten" the light

Just days ahead of Katy Perry's 28th birthday this week, the pop star threw the ultimate Halloween-themed birthday bash at Los Angeles' Magic Castle over the weekend.
See photos of Katy Perry and John Mayer dressed up at Katy's early birthday bash.
Guests of the spooky soiree included Kristen Stewart (sans Robert Pattinson), Neil Patrick Harris, songwriter Diane Warren, "America's Next Top Model" creative director (and Perry stylist ) Johnny Wujek and, most importantly, Perry's on-again boyfriend, John Mayer .
According to JustJared.com, Mayer took his costume as the vampire hunter to Perry's vampire very seriously. The 35-year-old guitar virtuoso appeared almost completely unrecognizable by sporting a prosthetic nose and chin to complete the look. The birthday girl's crimson lips, fangs and velvet cape made for the perfect sexy vampire, and the location couldn't have been more fitting: L.A.'s Magic Castle delivered a haunted-house vibe right in the heart of Hollywood.
Instead of gifts, Perry requested that partygoers make donations in support of the David Lynch Foundation for Transcendental Meditation, a charity that provides free meditation instruction to inner-city children and veterans. Urging fans to do the same, Perry tweeted, "Transcendental Meditation changed my life. For my birthday I would love to pay it forward. In lieu of gifts, donate."
It's been a week of bicoastal birthday celebrations for the reunited couple. Perry helped Mayer celebrate the big 3-5 at Freeman's restaurant in New York with a dozen of Mayer's close friends.
Perry turns 28 on Thursday.

From Under the Sea, Signs of Climate Jolts
By WILLIAM K. STEVENS
Published: November 18, 1997
AS scientists seek to improve their imperfect understanding of how and why the world's climate is changing, evidence continues to mount that most of the last 10,000 years -- long thought to be a benign era whose stability was crucial to the rise of civilization -- has in fact been typified by episodes of warmth, cold, drought and flooding more extreme than anything experienced in the 20th century.
About a thousand years ago, for instance, Europe basked in warmth that nurtured vineyards in Britain and allowed the Norse to colonize Greenland. At roughly the same time, what is now California was baking in centuries-long droughts, dwarfing the mere seven-year droughts of today. Early South American civilizations literally dried up and blew away. But only a few centuries later, in what is called the Little Ice Age, severe cold gripped much of the world, sending glaciers coursing down mountainsides, freezing European harvests and starving much of the populace.
Natural variations like these raise important questions in the scientific debate that underlies efforts by the nations of the world, at a conference beginning Dec. 1 in Kyoto, Japan, to cope with the prospect of climate change. How much of the global warming observed in the last century is natural, and how much has been caused by waste industrial gases that trap heat in the atmosphere? And how might natural climatic fluctuations modify and interact with whatever climate changes caused by people are in store for the future?
Now an important new element has been added to the emerging picture of pervasive, natural climatic change in the Holocene, the period since the vestiges of the last ice age vanished 10,000 years ago. Centuries-long cold spells much like that of the Little Ice Age have occurred more or less regularly, roughly every 1,400 to 1,500 years, report researchers, led by Dr. Gerard Bond at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, in the current issue of the journal Science. They discovered the oscillations by analyzing climatic signals in ancient ocean sediments in the North Atlantic.
The quasi-periodic swings were found to persist over the last 32,000 years, which is as far back as it was possible to date the sediments by the radiocarbon method. This means that the 1,500-year cycle also operated in the last ice age.But during that period, the cyclical cold spells were much more severe than in the Holocene. In the ice age spells, Dr. Bond said, the surface temperature of the North Atlantic where the sediment samples were taken dropped by about 9 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. In the Holocene spells, the drop was about 2 to 3.5 degrees.
How that translated into changes in the air temperature is unclear. Scientists believe, on the basis of other evidence, that air temperature dropped by 1 to 3 degrees in the Little Ice Age.
In the late 19th and 20th centuries, the global temperature has bounced back from the Little Ice Age cold, rising by about 1 degree and suggesting that the world may now be in the early stages of a centuries-long cycle of natural warmth. ''We could be coming out of the colder phase into the warmer phase of the cycle right now,'' Dr. Bond said. On the other hand, he said, the warming of the 20th century could be a relatively temporary warming blip, and the cold of the Little Ice Age might resume. He and his colleagues discovered many such temporary interruptions of previous cold phases.
The dominant view among climate scientists is that the warming of the 20th century has been caused at least in part by emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which are produced by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. The prevailing view also says that further warming is in store as a result of the emissions and that such warming could seriously disrupt the earth's climate system in the next century. Representatives from some 150 countries are to convene in Kyoto to negotiate cuts in emissions.
But no one knows how much of the observed warming is attributable to the heat-trapping gases and how much is caused by natural fluctuations in climate. In an attempt to sort things out, scientists have been focusing more on past climates, searching for patterns that might shed light on the present and future.
While the impact of natural variations on present-day climate cannot yet be pinned down with precision, Dr. Bond said, ''it's probably fair to say that we're seeing a component of natural variability'' in the last century's warming.
Other recent studies have suggested that the world is in the early stages of a natural warming phase and that, if so, any warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions would come on top of the natural temperature increase, delivering something of a one-two punch.
That has been suggested most recently by other new research reported in the current issue of Science. Investigators headed by Dr. Jonathan Overpeck of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colo., examined climatic indicators in lake and ocean sediments, tree rings and glacier ice in the Arctic. They found that from 1840 to the mid-20th century, Arctic temperatures warmed to their highest levels in 400 years, ending the Little Ice Age in those latitudes. The researchers attributed the early part of this bounce-back warming to natural causes but said that greenhouse gas emissions had probably contributed after about 1920.

PULLMAN, Wash. - When the South Atlantic League All-Stars take the field, Tuesday night in Lakewood, N.J., former Washington State star Derek Jones will be among the starters.
An eighth round selection by the Colorado Rockies in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Jones spent last summer playing for the Rockies' Short Season A affiliate Tri-City (Wash.) Dust Devils in the Northwest League.
This season got off to a rough start for Washington State's career home run leader. He was left off a roster and assigned to extended spring training when the minor leaguers broke camp in March.
After being assigned to the Asheville (N.C.) Tourists, April 5, Jones has made the most of his opportunity. He has spent time at first base and the corner outfield spots in 2013. He will be the Southern Division's starting right fielder.
Jones is batting .262 with 16 doubles, one triple, nine home runs and 33 RBI. He has also stolen 10 bases. He helped lead the Cougars to the NCAA postseason in 2009 and 2010 and was an All-Pac-12 selection in 2012.

Ryan Singel has the scoop. The GAO report to Congress is also covered in the New York Times, "Flight Database Found to Violate Privacy Law:"
"Careless missteps such as this jeopardize the public trust and D.H.S.' ability to deploy a much-needed, new system," Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, wrote on Friday to Secretary Michael Chertoff of the Department of Homeland Security.
Three times is not 'careless missteps,' Senator. It's TSA learning that they can get away with it. They're the result of small violations going unpunished. So my question is not really "What do you have to do to get fired here," but "How many laws do you need to break to get fired here?"
Kip Esquire has a good post, "On 'Consenting' versus 'Submitting' to a Search." The upshot is:
If you happen to be stopped for a search such as this, you should not say "Yes I consent" or "Sure, go ahead." Rather try saying something like "I consent to nothing, but if you are requiring me to submit to a search, then I will comply." That may sound a little too "Borg drone," but it should preserve your Fourth Amendment rights.
I got this wrong in a comment, and I want to discuss that a little.
I don't believe that our Constitutional rights were intended to, or ought to, turn on a turn of phrase, or slip of tongue. They ought to be more robust than that. This brings to mind a good post at Prawfsblog, where Hillel Levin discusses missing the forest for the trees, and ends, "Missing the Quarter-Pounder for the French Fry," which ends:
If this analysis sounds familiar to you, it is probably because I have applied the same reasoning in the past. Sometimes we lawyers are so locked into doctrinal minutia and the role of the court that we lose sight of the quarter-pounder for the french fry.
I think that Thomas' comment in Kelo sums it up best: "Something has gone seriously awry with this court's interpretation of the
The Iowa State University is sending out a warning to alumni Wednesday after a hacker had access to the alumnae association Web site.
A computer at Iowa State University's Alumni Association was hacked into, allowing outside access to thousands of Social Security numbers and pages of credit card information.
By tapping into the computer, the hacker had access to 2,031 student and volunteer Social Security numbers and 2,379 credit card numbers.
Those who did not receive an e-mail from the association should be OK, NewsChannel 8 reported.
From The Iowa Channel, "Hacker Gets Access To ISU Alumni Information."
Police will begin randomly beating people entering city subways, officials announced Thursday after a new series of bomb attacks in London.
"We just live in a world where, sadly, these kinds of security measures are necessary," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "Are they intrusive? Yes, a little bit. But we are trying to find that right balance."
More seriously, they're "only" abandoning the idea that the police can't search you without a reason, and "only" as you enter the subway. (Try getting around New York without using the subway.) See "Police to Check Bags on NYC Subways," or "Backpacks that Go Bloom(berg)." Apparently, you'll be "free" to leave the subway and enter at another station, which means that you'll either be followed, or the measure is not only unconstitutional, its entirely worthless as a security measure.
The right balance involves celebrating our values and our commitment to liberty. It may involve training people in New York how to distinguish between a suicide bomber and a 'character.' But it sure doesn't involve random searches.
My readers have provided great commentary about profiling and security in the comments on Homegrown Bombers, ID Cards, Intelligence Activity, and Profiling," and "'Israeli Style Profiling'."
So says SteveC, and he's right: Its a relatively small group of criminals. At the same time, I can't agree with his feeling that "These bombings occured in all probability because of our unprovoked invasion." The United States was attacked before we invaded
Iraq or Afghanistan. People who will kill civilians on the tube are evil, and will look for excuses for their evil. We ought to challenge those reasons, and not accept their evil, or the twisted logic they put forth to justify it.
[update: In a comment, Jim Horning pointed out that Iraq did not attack the United States. And while I could bobble and weave, I'll simply say "thanks Jim!" and my apologies for the inaccuracy.]
Moreover, the Commissioner canvassed other banks and found that at least two others did allow their customers to opt-out of such marketing. Now if only the Commissioner would reveal which banks respected their customers' privacy and which decided to fight its customer in order to continue to market to them against their wishes.
With London being attacked again, I am heartened to see that the attacks were (apparently) less effective, and otherwise defer to the wisdom of Sir Winston Churchill:
These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes by killing a large number of civilians, women and children, that he will terrorize and cow the people of this mighty imperial city and make them a burden and an anxiety to the government and thus distract our attention unduly from the ferocious onslaught he is preparing.
Little does he know the spirit of the British nation or tough fibre of the Londoners whose forebears played a leading part in the establishment of the parliamentary institutions and who have been bred to value freedom far above their lives.
This wicked man, the repository and embodiment of many forms of soul-destroying hatred, this monstrous product of former wrongs and shame, has now resolved to try to break our famous Island race by a process of indiscriminate slaughter and destruction.
What he has done is to kindle a fire in British hearts, here and all over the world, which will glow long after all traces of the conflagration he has caused in London have been removed.
He has lighted a fire which will burn with a steady and consuming flame until the last vestiges of Nazi tyranny have been burnt out of Europe, until the Old World – and the New – can join hands to rebuild the temples of man's freedom and man's honour, upon foundations which will not soon or easily be overthrown.
Winston Churchill, Sept 11, 1941
(The version above is taken from Mike Campbell.net, and is the most complete version I can find.)
36 years ago today, two Americans landed on the moon before returning safely to Earth.
It's a feat worth celebrating.
Elizabeth Blodgett Hall, 95, founder of Simon's Rock College, died July 18 at Geer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Canaan, Conn.
In 1964, with 200 acres of her family's land and a grant of $3 million from the Margaret Kendrick Blodgett Foundation — a charitable educational trust established by her mother — she founded America's first "early college."
The idea for Simon's Rock grew out of her conviction that the American secondary school was failing to adapt to the changing nature of adolescents, who were maturing earlier and who were anxious to accept academic and personal challenges and responsibilities that their high schools did not provide.
She believed that many bright young people can do college work before the normal age of high school graduation, and she defined the mission of her college as providing such students with the opportunity to begin college after the 10th or 11th grade. The college was chartered by the state in 1964.
(From the Berkshire Eagle obituary. In closely related news, Saturday's New York Times had a story, "Students Say High Schools Let Them Down.")

In music theory, a natural is an accidental which cancels previous accidentals and represents the unaltered pitch of a note. So it is an interesting coincidence that the two members of The Accidentals, Katie Larson and Savannah Buist , are natural musicians.
The Accidentals nature ability and passion for their craft is evident in their music, lyrics, and collaborative efforts. Collaboration is what brought them together. And it is this collaboration, a deep, collective determination to reach an identical purpose, that will keep them together for a long time.

Indie Folk is a music genre that arose in the 1990s from musicians in the indie (independent) rock community influenced by folk and classic country music. Indie folk combine the catchy melodies of indie rock with the acoustical sounds of contemporary folk music.
Also occasionally called Lo-Fi Indie, Indie Folk pulls influence from traditional and contemporary folk music, classic country, and indie rock. Many indie folk bands tend to be thick on complicated instrumentation, lyricism, and multi-voiced harmonies. They're basically the bands who make a new direction of contemporary folk music palatable to indie rock audiences.

The City of St. Augustine placed storm drain markers (see above picture) on most of the city's storm drains.
The four-inch aluminum markers are to remind people that only rain should go down the drains with the warning "No Dumping/Drains to Waterways" etched on the front.
The city is taking considerable steps to improve the quality of our surface waters—our rivers, bays and creeks—by reducing the amount of pollution carried to our waterways due to stormwater runoff.
Stormwater is water that originates from rain and enters the city's stormwater system. Precipitation that is not absorbed into the ground due to an impervious surface, like concrete or asphalt, is considered stormwater runoff.
The city's stormwater system is designed to collect stormwater runoff in catch basins and storm drains and channel that water to our waterways using a network of underground pipes that make up our stormwater system.
A variety of toxic pollutants are washed from the streets and parking lots into storm drains, creeks, rivers and ultimately to the ocean. These pollutants include leaking oil, antifreeze and gasoline from motor vehicles; copper dust, which is released from motor vehicle brake pad linings; rubber tire dust; soaps and chemicals used to wash vehicles; waste motor oil from vehicles, lawn mowers, and small equipment; and fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides.
This type of pollution is called non-point source pollution due to the fact that it comes from many unidentifiable sources making it hard to regulate and prevent. Stormwater pollution has a significant effect on surface waters such as Matanzas Bay, the San Sebastian River, Oyster Creek and Maria Sanchez Lake. It's a major problem in cities all over the country but it's especially important here in St. Augustine since we're surrounded by so much water.
The best way to reduce stormwater pollution is to stop it at its source. Keep your storm drains clean and free of debris. Pollutants flushed down storm drains directly affects the quality of our rivers and creeks and could possibly make them unsafe for boating, fishing, swimming and other water related activities.
Here are some tips to help keep our waterways clean:

Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis, Joe Haden, Patrick Peterson and Vontae Davis were named as the top-five rated Cornerbacks in the upcoming "Madden NFL 15" video game, Electronic Arts revealed on their official site today.
The "Madden 15" cover athlete, Sherman is rated 99 overall to lead all other cornerbacks in the game. A vital anchor in the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks defense, Sherman had a wonderful 2013 season with 54 tackles, eight interceptions and one TD.
Anyone who doubted Sherman's rating only had to read EA Sports' explanation as to why he's the king of CBs for this year's game.
"The 'Madden NFL 15' cover athlete is the top-ranked CB in each of the following categories: Strength (72), Catching (82), and Man Coverage (98)," EA said on their official site. "He's also ranked second in Zone Coverage (96), AWR (94), AGI (96), Play Rec (95), and Jumping (98). Now do you see why he is rated 99 overall?"
Perhaps the bigger shock was that recently acquired Patriots CB Darrelle Revis nabbed the number two spot with a 97 rating after a less than stellar season with the Bucs.
Cleveland's always-dependable Joe Haden was number three overall with a 95 rating. Arizona's multifaceted cornerback, punt returner and even-sometimes receiver Patrick Peterson was number four with a 93 rating, while the Colts' Vontae Davis was fifth with a 92 overall rating.
"Madden 15" is set for an August 26 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One home gaming consoles.
Do you agree with the EA Sports ratings? Which Cornerback do you think should have been on the list instead? Sound off in the comment section below.

I know this question could be similar to others but really I'm looking for reasons why VB6 developers should switch to C#.
My company recently approved project to be written in C#, so we have a lot of VB.Net programmers, however, we have some legacy app developers as well that are in VB6. We have a time frame to re-write those apps into .Net web apps. So no matter what they will have to learn new stuff.
One of the developers today specifically asked "why should we switch to C#?"
I responded that the community largely has decided that C# is the way to go with about 80% of the examples in C#. I am a VB.Net programmer and I am excited to finally cut my teeth on C#, however, being that I'm so new I'm not sure I can answer the "why?" question. My reasons are more because I want to learn it.
So without descending into a VB verses C# I really am curious if there are any resources that I can send to these developers to calm their nerves.
Looking forward to your input!

Zoe Saldana's side swept updo is picture perfect.
It's Prom, which means a bad hair day is not an option. Here are some tips to ensuring your strands look spectacular for the big night. --Angel
1. Know what you want. Your stylist isn't a mind reader, so cut out pics of styles you like and let him or her know you're looking for something similar.
2. Do a trial run with your stylist at least a week before Prom. This will give you a chance to see if your desired style looks the way you expected, as well as give your stylist time to tweak it if necessary.
3. Don't shampoo your hair the day of. This will give your style the perfect texture and help it to maintain its shape throughout the night.
4. Wear a button-up shirt or a top with a loose neck when you head to the stylist's on the big day. You don't want to mess up all his or her hard work before you even get your dress on!
5. Make your 'do look even more fetching with a stunning hair accessory, like one of these or these. Oh, and don't forget to take it with you to the salon.

- Jonathan Tipton's Profile
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
This profile is a collaborative work in progress. Can you add information/sources?
- Notes from Bob Tipton:
- Several genealogists have come to the conclusion that Edward and Amy (Phillips) Tipton were the parents of Jonathan. This Edward was born about 1617 in Pontesbury, Shropshire, England. This might fit if we assume that Jonathan was born in 1639. However, there is no indication that this Edward and Amy ever came to America. However, their son, also named Edward, did come to America. This son was born 7 Nov 1650, and was 18 when he arrived in Maryland on the ship Friendship. He returned to England in 1700. There is no indication that Edward, Jr, went to Jamaica. While it might be possible that Jonathan was a brother to Edward, Jr, it is highly unlikely that he would be his son.
- I am a co-adminstrator of the Tipton Family DNA Project. We currently have about 60 male members who have taken Y-DNA tests. Almost all of them have closely matching STRs and are members of the I1 haplogroup. Those that have done SNP testing are confirmed I-L813. So far, we do not have any tested members from England, so have not been able to prove or disprove a connection to either Edward.
- The Tipton surname is location-based, so it would not be unusual to find several different DNA signatures, but so far almost everybody seems to be a close match to Jonathan (or a close ancestor of his).
- Date: 1659
- Place: Kingston, Jamaica
- Note: 1657 given on another merged profile. Date marked as uncertain. Better sources are very much needed here.
- Notes on the birth date from Bob Tipton:
- The following obituary appeared in the January 27, 1757 issue of the Maryland Gazette:
- "We are informed that at the beginning of this month, died in Baltimore County, Mr. Jonathan Tipton, aged 118 years. He was born at Kingston on Jamaica, which place he left while young, and lived almost ever since in this province, and had his perfect senses to the last, especially a remarkable strength of memory. His youngest sons are reckoned among the oldest men in Baltimore County."
- Charles D Tipton, in his book "TIPTON: The First Five American Generations", discusses several of the problems with this short obituary. One of the most telling is the fact that Jamaica was under Spanish control until it was conquered by Venable in 1655. It is unlikely that an English child was born in Jamaica prior to that time. Charles says that 1659 is a much more likely date of birth.
- Date: 1757
- Place: Baltimore County, Maryland
- Source: #S74596
- Source: S32 Tipton : the first five American generations : a short history of the Tipton family. Charles D. Tipton. Baltimore, MD : Gateway Press, c1998.
- Source S74596 Title: Tipton. Note: The foregoing is all the information provided on one of the merged profiles. A clearer explanation of the source is needed.
- Laura Allen, mygenealogy.com. Note: Same as above. This is the complete source citation shown on one of the merged profiles. A clearer explanation of the source is needed.

Royal Caribbean has quietly adjusted its infant policy from having no minimum age restriction to requiring babies to be either 6 or 12 months old in order to sail, depending on the itinerary. Although the new policy is currently on the line's Web site, a spokesperson for the line tells us it won't be strictly enforced until October 2008.
According to the new policy, infants on most cruises must be 6 months old by the first day of the sailing in order to board. However, babies on trans-Atlantic, trans-Pacific, Hawaii, select South America cruises and cruisetours, and other select cruises and cruisetours must be 12 months old to sail.
The following upcoming cruises will require a 12-month age minimum (in addition to trans-Atlantic, trans-Pacific and Hawaii cruises):
Mariner of the Seas: January 4 and 19, February 3, 2009
Splendour of the Seas: March 30, 2009
Legend of the Seas: October 23 and November 4, 2009
Passengers who try to bring a child onboard who does not meet minimum age requirements will be denied boarding for the child and possibly for one of the parents as well. In such cases, the cruise line will not reimburse the family for the missed sailing.
Royal Caribbean spokesman Michael Sheehan says the change in the policy comes from the cruise line's recognition that infants have special needs and at times may require medical attention that can only be provided for at shore-based hospitals. Though Sheehan tells us the timing is coincidental, a recent incident on Majesty of the Seas aptly illustrates his point: This past April, a 7-month-old child became sick onboard and had to be put off the ship with her family to seek medical treatment. The family complained to the media they had been mistreated, but Royal Caribbean was simply following procedures to ensure the health of the child.

I Shall Be Loved As Quiet Things - Poem by Karle Wilson Baker
I shall be loved as quiet things
Are loved--white pigeons in the sun,
Curled yellow leaves that whisper down
One after one;
The silver reticence of smoke
That tells no secret of its birth
Among the fiery agonies
That turn the earth;
Cloud-islands; reaching arms of trees;
The frayed and eager little moon
That strays unheeded through a high
Blue afternoon.
The thunder of my heart must go
Under the muffling of the dust--
As my gray dress has guarded it
The grasses must;
For it has hammered loud enough,
Clamored enough, when all is said:
Only its quiet part shall live
When I am dead.

Our purpose is to aid our clients in protecting their lifestyle in the face of current and coming economic instabilities. Precious metals have consistently been seen as a safe haven, and over time have been a bedrock of a truly balanced and diversified portfolio.

Silver as an investment has returned tremendous gains over the last decade, driven by lower mining output coupled with never before seen industrial and medical demand.
The United States Geological Survey actually put out a study claiming that silver would be the first element to become extinct. While we feel that this is a dramatic claim to make, it does underscore the reality that there is far less silver than previously thought.
An investment into silver in 2002 of $100,000 would today yield approximately $639,600 (as of June 2012). In comparison, had you invested $100,000 into an S&P index fund you would have approximately $116,400.
The forecast for silver is just as bullish, with analysts predicting huge gains in the coming years as demand continues to rise and supply continues to diminish.
Given hindsight and its positive outlook for the future, few investors would consider silver a 'risky' investment.
However, far too many stock brokers and fund managers do use 'risky' as a descriptive word for silver. They simply will not guide you in that direction because they are not licensed nor trained in precious metals. They do not have the training required for selling silver or gold coins, bullion, etc.
Silver can be placed inside an IRA or bought for physical delivery. Products break down into either bullion or investment grade. There are pros and cons to both, and with one phone call our precious metals specialists will guide you through the available options.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments in precious metals will fluctuate in value, when redeemed they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors may lose value at time of redemption. Before risking your retirement funds, you should consult with qualified legal and tax adviser to obtain a second opinion.

College Hockey:Davies Finishes Second Bronco Comeback Of Weekend
Nanooks Lose Another Two-Goal Lead In Third
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A different night, a different game, but the story remains the same.
For the second time in as many nights Alaska Fairbanks saw a two-goal advantage heading into the third-period vanish before its eyes, falling to Western Michigan 5-4 on Saturday night.
Paul Davies tucked the puck under the crossbar at 17:23 of the third just before the net came off its moorings, capping the Broncos improbable comeback.
"Aside from the start that we had we took the play to them most of the game," said Davies.
"With our cycling and keeping the puck down low we wear teams out. I showed last night and it showed again tonight; we're a stronger team in the third period."
The Broncos' determination and character cannot be questioned after battling back in the third on consecutive nights, particularly when you consider that WMU found itself at a two-goal disadvantage just 31 seconds into the game.
"I think we've turned the corner in the locker room and guys are confident in each other," said Davies. "When you give us minus 30 seconds into the game, two goals is nothing for a team with our offensive ability."
Though the Broncos found themselves down 3-1 and 4-2 at the end of the first and second periods, respectively, they carried play for a good 40 minutes of the game.
"This team is on a role right now," said WMU forward Lucas Drake who had two goals on the night. "We have a lot of guys going right now, lines are clicking and we're scoring goals; we're getting it from everywhere."
"There's no guarantee that at the end of the day you're going to get rewarded for hard work, but that's all we can ask of them and they've been doing it for us," said WMU head coach Jim Culhane.
"Even with the horrible start we were able to stick together and persevere through that adversity and I think that says a lot about what we have."
The loss brought an end to a 14-day, four-game road trip for the Nanooks and also saw the third consecutive game in which UAF blew a third-period lead.
The Broncos, who overcame two-goal deficits three times in the game, are unbeaten in five straight conference games at home and are 7-1-1 against CCHA teams at Lawson Arena this season.
Despite the loss, UAF senior goaltender Preston McKay made a career high 43 saves on the night as the Broncos pounded him with a season-high 48 shots on goal. Scott Foster picked up his second victory on the weekend, stopping 17 shots for the Broncos.
WMU and UAF will continue play in conference next weekend with Broncos traveling to Nebraska-Omaha and the Nanooks hosting Northern Michigan.
