Such a BSU hater because of the style they play. Please tell me how playing an up-tempo style would help them? They don't have the horses the big boys have so they need to play a grind-it-out style for wins and the fans appreciate their hard work. Trying to play like UND gets you 5-2 losses.
- http://twitter.com/Butterz07 Aaron G.
@simon: I'm confused, are you directing your comment at anyone? Quite frankly i don't see any BSU hating in the article. As a Sioux fan I am unhappy with their play but i understand the game and I've played it. Every team cycles, and the fact that this year might be the year the Sioux end up at the bottom of the league is depressing but also a way of understanding. J.T. Miller a first rounder opt out before the year started. our next big thing in Grimaldi is out until January and with a team of sophomores and freshmen with only one true scorer in Kristo; it's obvious why they have been having troubles. I'm not making excuses but simply rather giving my take on the growing pains. Besides Saturdays game was close until the end of the third and the Sioux simply couldnt generate offense on sunday hats off to da beavers.
- Fatmikek
Some guys always think people are bashing their team. To be honest the beaver were very luck that the Sioux couldn't and didn't generate any offense. This coming from a UMD fan. UND is a better team just having issues and the grind it out game Simon talked about wouldn't have helped if UND could have scored. It didn't work against my Bulldogs.
- WCHA Fan
Were the Bulldogs "lucky" that the Beavers couldn't generate some offense when they won 1-0? No, it's called playing solid defense for 60 minutes. Why then are the Beavers "lucky" the Sue couldn't generate some offense? This is what Simon is trying to say. While few would argue that the Sue have been the better team in the past, have a deeper roster, etc…, that does not mean that they are the better team any given weekend or even this season. The Beavers split, which implies this weekend that they were equal teams. The Beavers have played a tough early schedule including all but 4 games on the road, and games against ranked opponents every series with the exception of NoDak. Still, they hold a three point advantage in the standings against the Sue. Explain to me how NoDak is a better team right now? Explain how shutting out a WCHA opponent is a "lucky" win? I think Simon hit the nail on the head. No love or respect.
- Stoney2323
Or you can watch the game and see that UND was the better squad both games…. seems pretty logical to me
- WCHA Fan
How so? No scoring in 60 minutes? 9 minutes of power play chances in the 3rd period alone and no goals? FYI, a team is made up of offense and defense. Apparently BSU's defense was better, their offense was better, and goaltending was better on Sunday. Their schedule has been tougher and their record is better. I did watch the game on Sunday, obviously you are a Sue fan with their typical blinders on. Give me a real explanation as to why you think UND is the better squad right now. You can do better than that.
- Donnordland
just because of what nodak has done in the past doesnt mean stink thats why they play the game or should we just hand the trophy to umd because we one last year?
- That Mack Guy
This is the strongest Hockey East has been top to bottom in at least a decade. Vermont is an easy out but I feel like the other nine teams are all able to beat the others on any given night. It's nice to see the best league in the country living up to the moniker.
P.S. Being able to gloat to my UNH and BC friends about my Warriors doesn't hurt either.
- HEhockey31
I agree that the bottom is much stronger than ever, but I also think the top is a lot weaker. Merrimack is the only consistent, solid team this year. 2009 was much much stronger. Northeastern was on fire and made the NCAA's, Vermont made it to the frozen four, UNH lost to BU in the regional final. On top of that Lowell almost beat BU in the hockey east tournament, and BC looked pretty good too but lost to BU in the semi's. Oh yeah, and BU won the whole thing. It really doesn't get much stronger than that. The top 5 teams were really something else.
- CommAve
Pretty tough to consider to BC, Merrimack and BU weak…Most likely all 3 will be in tourney (the former two with high seeds) and who knows what UNH will do. Early for sure, but don't think top of the Hockey East is that watered down.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_6IGPAF6OVQLRDZAXUEK223Y7O4 Carlos
BU stole the game against Cornell. A phantom interference to give BU a 5 on 3, TWO disallowed Cornelll goals. The Hockey East refs embarrased themselves.

With Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics at our doorstep, the Opening Ceremonies are a day to celebrate...which means time to start baking. The Opening Ceremonies signify the world's countries, big and small, coming together to face each other in physical competitions of honor and valor.
In today's world full of strife and conflict, it is amazing that this Olympic tradition holds fast to the hearts of those all over the globe; perhaps in a way that no other event or concept has been able to do.
While it is modest in comparison to the widespread impact of the Olympic Games, baking seems to have a similar gathering effect...who doesn't come running to the kitchen from corners of the house for freshly baked chocolate chip cookies?
So, why not create your own Olympic effect and bake, gather and enjoy the Opening Ceremonies this year and bring some warmth to the winter games! There are many recipes and ideas that you can try that are easy and festive, from torches to rings!
Pass on the Torch Cupcakes
All you need to do to create some edible torches is buy ice cream cones and mix up your favorite box or from-scratch cake batter and pour the batter into the cones, and bake according to box or recipe directions! After letting the cone cupcakes cool, whip up (or open) your favorite vanilla frosting and color it a firey red or orange. Next, pipe a towering flame on your cupcakes to create a torch that you won't spend much time holding before you heroically take a bite...
Olympic Ring Cookies
The trick to these cookies is a cookie cutter and colored frosting. Make your favorite dough (any flavor!) and roll it out to a thin, even layer. Take one round cookie cutter and cut out disks. Then, with a smaller round cutter (smaller enough to leave a thick enough ring) cut out the middles of the disks to make rings.
After baking for the appropriate time for your dough, let the cookies cool and then frost with olympic red, yellow, blue, green and black. (You can also do this by rolling your dough into snakes and forming rings with your hands, but they may look a little less circular)
Flags of the World Cookies
For some international pride, and a recipe for the artist inside of you, you can decorate any cookie dough to look like flags of your favorite olympic team countries! Bake a cookie sheet of solid dough so it comes out as one big rectangle. Then, slice your cooked sheet into rectangles so you have a bunch of "flags." Next, put different basic colors into separate piping bags (or plastic zip bags with the corner cut off) and copy the designs of countries' flags.
Whatever recipe you try, it is sure to gather a group of eager Olympic game watchers! Bring your family, friends, or community together by baking and remember what values the Olympics were formed off of.

It was a season when nothing seemed to be going right for the BYU men's volleyball team -- and only received a brief respite at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament, which it won. But, on Thursday, May 1 the Cougars finally watched their luck run out as they lost to Stanford three games to two at the NCAA Championships.
What seemed like a certain repeat run to the national championship game for BYU (22-9) now will end like this regular season ended -- with a loss. As a matter of fact, the Cougars ended their regular season with three losses, but after a march at the MPSF tournament that included a championship win you can forgive BYU fans for being optimistic after sweeping Stanford.
My, how much things can change in less than one week, as the Cougars again faced Stanford after receiving a No. 2 seed and bye into the national semifinal. Unfortunately for BYU, this match was much different from the Cougars' convincing MPSF title game sweep, as Stanford came out guns a-blazing, hitting on 68 percent of its shots for a 25-18 win in Game 1.
Games two and three looked more like textbook BYU, as the Cougars rode senior All-American and American Volleyball Coaches Association Player of the Year Taylor Sander as far as they could to take a 2-1 advantage going into Game 4.
But in Game 4, you saw the Cardinal mettle, as they climbed back from an early deficit, Before the fourth game evened out and each team traded leads, Stanford got a kill and an ace to win a pivotal Game 4 by the narrowest of margins, 29-27.
"We were doing so many things well and just (had) a couple of errors. We served two balls out in the 20s and then there was a play where we actually got a pretty good touch on a block and the ball just kind of popped up right between two players and it was one of those 'I go, no you go,' and we kind of botched that play and made a bad set to put it over and that's all it takes," BYU head coach Chris McGown said at his post-game press conference.
BYU's miscommunication in Game 4 brought both teams to Game 5, another seesaw battle that saw BYU go up 4-2 early before Stanford took the lead at 10-9 -- with the first team to 15 points deciding who goes to the national championship game.
Stanford surged ahead to 12-9 and BYU fought back -- but ultimately the Cardinal would go home the victors, winning Game 5 by the score of 15-12 and moving on to the national championship game.
"We are clearly disappointed with the result. We did everything we possible could and played as hard as we could. Ultimately, they got a few plays that went there way and I thought they played great as well. It's easy to have a few plays go your way when you are playing as well as they did. I thought they came in with a good offensive game plan and executed it really well," McCown added at his post-game press conference.
For BYU, AVCA Player of the Year Taylor Sander led the Cougars with 28 kills -- one short of a career best for him -- and four aces. Josue Rivera helped the Cougars with 10 kills and 11 digs. For Sander, the loss was of course bittersweet despite such a great personal season.
"It's so hard losing and it's so hard for my career at BYU to be done," Sander said after the match. "The hardest part is not [in] losing that match, it's that I don't get to battle with my boys anymore, going to battle with them every match."

Hi, dear fashion-lovers! You'll never guess what I'm going to do. I'm going to show you celebrity fashion photos and to evaluate them, I mean there style, taste, apparel… Believe me, sometimes, you'll really ask yourself, what the hell they were thinking? So, let's start from the brightest fashion mistakes:
Keds are not for high fashion. Mischa Barton is a nice and very beautiful celebrity, but she seems to forgot about this rule.
Naomi Campbell in her too fluffy dress, looks like a real doll. Moreover this dress simply doesn't emphasize her beauty.
Then, Penelope Cruz. No doubts, there were so many times, when she left my mouth agape, because she looked flawless, but sometimes she is just not capable of measuring proportions. Don't you think, this bow is just too big?
Britney Spears will never get tired of surprising us. This her hair-do is just… strange and she looks bizarre.
Paris Hilton. As usual, she has nothing to hide, even her lingerie can be seen by everybody.
And, the last one – Patti Labelle. She looks like a mushroom in this big dress.
But there are some celebrities, succeeding to look stylish and even showing example to others. So, dear ladies, nice celebrity fashion pictures are to your attention.
Lauren Conrad looks casual but really classy.
Anne Hathaway has very fashionable look. Again a bit simple, but so close to ordinary people.
Hayden Panettiere looks so fresh and simple, may be even too simple, but anyway, it's a good beginning.
Kelly Rippa – just so nice and stylish. This dress looks perfect and she is really stylish in it.

As one who is winning against Candida overgrowth, one of my symptoms has been tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Candida can prevent absorption of magnesium, thus resulting in tinnitus. This product is vastly superior to other forms of magnesium (i.e., magnesium oxide) in terms of absorption and bioavailability. My tinnitus has subsided significantly since taking this product. I highly recommend it.
I have been taking Magnesium Citrate for 3 years now. It has eliminated my chronic IBS symptoms nearly 100%. I was taking the 400 mg tablets until I found it in powdered form. I mix 1 teaspoon in grapefruit juice every morning. It's been a lifesaver for me. Betsy :)

Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero is Locked In
In a town more famous for growing lettuce, broccoli and artichokes, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero proved you can grow world champion fighters too.
Born and raised in the migrant fields of Salinas, Guerrero is the first boxer from the town of 130,000 to win a world title and he's not planning to let anyone pick his belt when he fights Orlando Salido on Saturday Nov. 4, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
"I really haven't had time to go anywhere and talk to people," says Guerrero, who crushed former titleholder Eric Aiken in five rounds last September. "They asked me if I wanted to fight again on television and I couldn't say no."
You can describe Guerrero as a 5-foot-9, tall and lean fighter who looks like he's never had a dessert in his life. The Bay area fighter rarely looks out of fighting shape, even when he's not scheduled to fight.
Salido, the number one contender in the IBF rankings, is getting his second shot at a world title. Recently Salido was providing sparring for Manny Pacquiao at the Wild Card Boxing gym where Guerrero also frequents.
"I saw him leaving the gym as I was coming in," said Guerrero. "We locked eyes."
In a week's time the two will lock in a decisive battle for the featherweight world title.
"I know he's a veteran and he's got a lot of experience," said Guerrero. "I'm anxious to get back in the ring again. I still have a lot to do."
Guerrero said the IBF title is great, but he intends to make his mark on the boxing world similar to his other Northern California compadre Diego Corrales.
"Really, I don't feel like I've done anything," Guerrero said. "I'm still hungry. I feel like I haven't done anything yet. I feel like I'm chasing the world title."
Because of the quick exodus of marquee fighters from the featherweight division by such noted boxers as Pacquiao, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Rocky Juarez, the 126-pound division seems wide open for one enterprising prizefighter.
"I want the big fights," he says. "That's my dream to fight big fights."
Guerrero's world title defense against Salido will be shown on HBO pay-per-view.
Chico signs with Golden Boy
Diego "Chico" Corrales signed with Golden Boy Promotions last week. Both Corrales and Shane Mosley are great friends and spend time at each other's house. So it wasn't a complete surprise. "At this point of my career, it's important that that I go into a fight knowing that the business end of it is taken care of," stated Corrales in a press release. "I wanted to be with a promoter that understands us fighters." Corrales lost his last fight by split-decision against Joel Casamayor. He had hinted toward retirement but now he's heading into the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions.
"I know that Diego always gives his best inside the ring," stated Oscar De La Hoya, president of Golden Boy Promotions on Friday, Oct. 20.
So who does he fight next?
There are dozens of possible opponents in the talent-heavy junior welterweight division including the guy who wrapped up all of the titles before moving up: Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton makes the most sense. First, the tough Brit beat the man Kostya Tszyu, then won a welterweight world title. He discovered he's more suited for 140-pounds and is presumably moving back. In terms of dollars, who wouldn't want to see Corrales against Hatton? That would be the greatest match between an American and British in more than 200 years. These two guys don't bring daisies to the fight.
Of course there are alternatives like Tszyu, who's made some statements about returning. And there's Jose Luis Castillo.
Mongoose is managing fighters
Steve "The Mongoose" Quinonez retired last May but he's now managing fighters. "I have a lot of experience in the fight game and with the business end of it," said Quinonez, who was ranked as a lightweight and junior welterweight. He also runs his own construction company in the Palm Springs area. To reach Quinonez call (760) 835-3234. Or he can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
Big dinner show in Montebello, California

CONCORD, Calif. — When one thinks about the highlights of a hotel property, they'll mention amenities, restaurants, and overall service. The on-premise laundry likely doesn't figure into even the top 100 features.
But if your business is efficiency and turning a property into the pinnacle of green lodging, the laundry room certainly might warrant top billing.
That's just the case here at the Hilton Concord. The 329-room Interstate Hotels & Resorts Worldwide property recently completed a $10 million dollar upgrade that focused heavily on sustainability. And the result is a hotel transformed into the standard for efficiency.
On the drying side of the laundry operation, an agreement was reached on five 83-pound-capacity Electrolux dryers to replace two 150-pound and two 110-pound units. Though drying capacity went down, the speed and efficiency of the new dryers combined with the high-extract G-force of the washers enable the laundry to process more loads per day: 9.78 loads versus 7.81.
"The overall result of the higher extraction rate allowed us to go with smaller dryers and really spread out the loads," says lead consultant Charles Smith, CEO of Hotel Sustainability Solutions Inc. (HSSI). He adds that the additional capacity contributed to greater operating efficiency, making staff more productive.
Moisture-sensing technology, which enables the units to dry to a set moisture-retention level and then shut off the heat, further boosted efficiency.
With much of a laundry's gas consumption coming on the drying side, this is where the Hilton Concord saw a huge reduction in utility usage and costs. Combined with the 90% reduction in hot water usage, the laundry is consuming almost half as many Btu as before.
"There is a dramatic drop...Btus are so much lower and there's a huge amount of savings," says Ahmet Ibrahim, owner of Roseville, Calif.-based A2Z Laundry Systems, adding that the laundry will see roughly $8,400 in gas savings annually.
He pointed out that the dryers derive their efficiency advantage from a unique horizontal airflow pattern as well as their reversing cylinder — a standard feature on 120-volt units, an industry exclusive.
Linens benefit from reduced drying times. The process degrades linens, causing them to wear out faster. With more water being spun out in the washer and ozone injection opening linen fibers, only short dry cycles (or conditioning cycles before linens are ironed) are used. Table linens even go directly from the washer to the ironer, with no drying necessary.
The laundry is using about one-third the electricity it did before the retooling. Savings such as these, however, are only part of the green story. Because of the involvement of water and utility entities, $135,360 in rebates and incentives have helped offset purchase and installation of new laundry equipment and other efficient products, systems and technologies.
While the new equipment takes much of the risk of operator error out of the equation, retraining staff is integral to maintain efficiency, Smith says. "The biggest challenge was re-educating people. We had to break some bad habits."
Part of that retraining includes weighing loads to make sure employees always utilize the full capacity of machines. Underloaded washers and dryers waste utilities, cutting into operational efficiency. In addition, staff also was taught that the linen could be slightly moist; they don't need to be bone-dry.
Manivone Khangsensing, the property's executive housekeeper, says the staff has responded favorably to the retraining and to the ease of operating the new laundry equipment.
"People liked that we lightened their burden," Khangsensing says of ridding the laundry of manual overrides and training employees to trust the advanced software technology. "It provides for ease of operations; there's nothing complicated about it."
Processing is much improved with the speed, efficiency and reliability of the Electrolux models, which eliminates worker stress. Plus, the work environment has been improved with LED lighting strategically installed where equipment is located.
For hoteliers pondering similar projects to increase sustainability, Smith stresses taking time upfront to focus on planning. He recommends carefully analyzing the property to determine where the greatest efficiency may be gained. Then, it's a matter of investigating the potential to offset upgrades through rebates and incentives.
"Sometimes you wouldn't move forward without a rebate. It's an integral part."
When it comes to the laundry, equipment that reduces water/utility consumption is the key focus, but Smith also recommends not taking efficiency boasts at face value. Review and analyze numbers.
In today's technological revolution, it's important to select products and systems that can be upgraded within the expected life cycles of ownership. It was Electrolux's commitment to those upgrades that garnered the hotel's attention.
Lastly, Smith advises that a strong equipment warranty and continued backing from the equipment manufacturer and distributor are important in the pursuit of sustainability.
"The retrofitting of the laundry room was a much-needed and important part of our sustainability platform," says Jack Hlavak, the Hilton Concord's general manager. "Uptrending in the hospitality market necessitated a higher commitment to the guest experience...we are now delivering the pinnacle of linen quality and that is showing in our improved guest-satisfaction ratings."

Lasagna is one of the most delicious, and most time consuming, pasta dishes around. Boiling the noodles, carefully layering it, and then a nice long wait while it's in the oven make lasagna feel like a labor of love. Sometimes, you just want your food a little more quickly.
This skillet lasagna recipe from Pink Parsley provides the same delicious flavors, but with a lot less effort. This Examiner timed herself while cooking it, and this dish was ready in about an hour, including prep time (i.e. chopping onions, etc).
While you do have to babysit your skillet while it's cooking to prevent the noodles from sticking or clumping, this recipe is still a lot less painstaking than traditional lasagna recipes, making it a much easier (and faster) choice. The best part is that the noodles cook right in the skillet--no boiling them and then trying not to rip the soft noodles while you layer.
This recipe turned out delicious, and the instructions were easy to follow. For that, this recipe earns a 5 star review and a personal recommendation: you should make this. Like, right now!
And since it is February, it might bear mentioning that cooking lasagna for a romantic dinner at home is a great way to avoid the crowds and give Valentine's Day a more personal touch.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey top of US the box office
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 17, 2012
AN Unexpected Journey, the first film in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, has set a new December opening weekend record in the US.
Released at more than 4000 locations, the JRR Tolkien adaptation earned an estimated $84.78 million - up more than $10 million on The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($73.3 million).
When the figures are adjusted for inflation and 3D/IMAX premiums, however, it probably sold fewer actual tickets.
Internationally, the film took $138 million in its first 5 days - across 56 markets.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens in Australia on Boxing Day.

Update 7/6/14: Donald was adopted! He is still scared, but he is making progress.
Dogs do not understand the various reasons behind the loss of their home...they do not understand a change of health, loss of finances or dog-prohibiting moves. To a dog, a transition that results in their relocation to a kennel run in an animal control facility is simply a loss...sadness...fear...loneliness.
A six-month-old Labrador retriever mix, who was surrendered by his owner on June 21, is currently grappling with the overwhelming emotions that follow the loss of a home and loved ones. The pup, named "Donald," is currently available for adoption at the Miami-Dade Animal Services facility in Florida.
Donald's intake photo reveals his fear...it is not easy for a dog to leave the comfort and familiarity of a home and family and enter a busy, loud and overwhelming animal control facility.
Donald is in need of the help of strangers who are willing to take a brief moment to share his information - the hope is that increased visibility will help him locate, and secure, a new guardian.
Information for Donald:
- Petharbor profile for Donald here
- Miami-Dade Animal Services at (305) 884-1101
- Ask for information about animal ID number A1623253
- Facebook thread for this puppy here
- Age estimated between four months and six months
- Breed believed to be a retriever mix
- A1623253 owner surrender due out 6/21/14 no holds, heartworm negative on in house test. Heartworm prevention given today 6/20/14. Adopter/rescuer/foster has 30 days to contact their own veterinarian for consecutive heartworm prevention treatment.

PC owners have been anxiously awaiting the release of drivers to enable the Xbox One controller to use with their games. Some even went so far as to create their own custom drivers. However, Microsoft finally released the drivers Thursday along with a little bit of a "Halo 2" tease.
Xbox Director of Programming Larry Hyrb posted the Windows x86 (link) and x64 (link) drivers for the Xbox One controller on his MajorNelson blog for download. The drivers were originally planned to be released as part of an upcoming Windows update. However, the decision was made to give an early access preview to PC gamers.
"We know our fans have wanted PC compatibility, and we know they wanted to be able to use the Xbox One controller with the same games and applications they have been playing with using the Xbox 360 controller," Hyrb wrote. "We can't wait for them to play their favorite PC games with what we consider the best controller ever made and we're excited for fans to experience the improved D-pad, redesigned battery compartment, new comfortable design and offset analog sticks.
"The new PC drivers will enable the Xbox One controller to be used with any game that featured gamepad support for the Xbox 360 controller. Simply download the drivers, connect your Xbox One controller to your computer through a micro USB cable and you'll be gaming in no time," he explained.
That last sentence is key sentence with the Xbox One controller. It can currently only be connected to a PC with a micro USB cable. Xbox Head Phil Spencer previously hinted that a wireless option will eventually be made available but wired is the only option for now. That case was similar with the Xbox 360 for a while before the wireless dongle was released, however, the major difference was that only controllers created for the PC could be plugged in. The release of the dongle allowed the console only controllers to be used as well.
Also key was the display of an image showing the Xbox One controller hooked up to a Surface tablet that just so happens to be showing "Halo 2" playing. Is that something to get excited about? What's being shown is the old PC port of the game as Hyrb said on NeoGAF that people "reading too much into my intention. 'Halo 2 Vista' is what I had available to test the controller."
It's understandable why people were excited at the image though. There are rumors that either "Halo 2 HD Anniversary" or a "Master Chief Collection" will be announced at Microsoft's E3 press conference on Monday, June 9 at 12:30 p.m. EDT / 9:30 a.m. PDT.

Saving and Paying for College.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a question commonly posed by adults to youngsters. They do not expect to hear the sad, dejected response of, "An unemployed college graduate with twenty thousand dollars in student loan debt!" But in fact, the expected response of, "a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, or a nurse" implies the attainment of a college degree. While not all career fields mandate a four-year degree, most do require advanced education beyond high school. And those years of education come at a cost.
Over the past 25 years, tuition inflation has far outpaced the rising prices of gasoline and healthcare. According to a special report by CNN's Penelope Wang, tuition rates grew four times faster than overall inflation. The Center for Economic and Policy Research reported that in 2004, 2/3 of public college seniors graduated with an average debt load of $17,600.
College is expensive. How expensive? A recent check for out-of-state tuition at Penn State's University Park campus reveals a cost for 4 years of around $100,000. In-state tuition for the same four years runs about $54,000. The $46,000 difference in cost is "financial aid" subsidized by Pennsylvania taxpayers for Pennsylvania residents attending a school in their home state. Despite this "break" many families are hard-pressed to finance the education of one student, much less his or her siblings.
When thinking about saving and paying for college, there are a lot of options. The earlier you get started planning and saving, the better prepared you will be when it comes time to move Junior into his freshman dorm room. First, be realistic about what you will be able to set aside for college, taking into account all your other financial obligations. Avoid reducing contributions to your retirement plan in order to save for college. While lenders can make college affordable to your student, it's unlikely when you are of an advanced age you will find lenders to assist you in financing your retirement!
Generally, you have four college funding options (excluding those rare sports scholarships!) Savings, grants, scholarships and loans.
U.S. Savings Bonds are a great way to start saving. Carefully read and follow the rules regarding tax exemption of interest on bonds used to pay for education. Bonds are a safe, secure way to grow a college fund with interest tax-deferred for up to thirty years. You have choices between EE and I bonds and if titled correctly, do not affect your student's eligibility for other types of financial aid. Check the website www.savingsbonds.gov. Pennsylvania's Section 529 plan www.nowu529.com/ provides another great way to save for college.
Grants are funds provided to assist with college bills and do not need to be repaid. Generally, they are only available to individuals of meager means. Scholarships are often available within your community as well as from education institutions. Various applications must be completed and eligibility requirements met to access these funds that do not need to be repaid.
Despite your best efforts of saving and taking advantage of other forms of funding, most families find themselves having to borrow money to pay for college. Because there is a limit on how much students can borrow, parents often bear the burden of borrowing to make up the deficit. Some families who, with the best of intentions, borrowed to help their oldest child have found their financial situation prevented them from assisting younger siblings. Finding yourself in this situation creates not only financial but emotional turmoil as well.
Regardless of the age of your scholar, start the conversation today about your expectations of their future and how to finance it. College is expensive and might be financially out of reach. That doesn't mean dreams of attending college are dashed. It does mean additional homework is necessary to assure that the expenses incurred will pay for themselves in the long run. In the business world it's called return on investment or ROI. Is it worth it to go deep in debt to attend a well-recognized institution? Or would your student do just as well at a less-pricey, less prestigious school? Does their career interest even require a four-year degree or would other types of education qualify them for entry into their chosen career field? If your college graduate can't immediately get a job upon graduation and start repaying loans, wouldn't you rather they owe $20,000 instead of $50,000?
Recently I talked with a young woman who, along with her husband, graduated from a well-known out of state college and were starting careers and grad school. Planning to eventually start a family, they have been looking to buy a home. She shared their frustration that while they have excellent credit, no local banks would give them a mortgage. Further into the discussion she revealed that together they owe over $100,000 on their students loans. It appears they already have the mortgage, but it's not financing a house! The decision to incur that amount of debt so early in their working lives may hobble them financially for at least the next decade. By developing and following a family college financing plan, you can avoid this type of situation and launch your student successfully with minimal debt.

Elementary school children in Philadelphia allegedly ingested birth control pills. According to a video report by GeoBeats, police are investigating after students were seen with "tablets" believed to be birth control. EMTs were called to the school after being told that some students may have swallowed the pills and were possibly ill.
Apparently an undisclosed number of students either swallowed or tasted the pills. The children did not need further medical attention after consuming the pills but Children's Hospital was contacted as a precaution.
One student brought the medication into school to show off to his or her friends. Authorities believe that the kids thought that the pills were candy hence why they tasted them. Parents were notified but everyone is expected to be okay. It is unclear if an disciplinary action will be taken against the student who brought the pills to school but it sounds like an honest mistake.
Check out the video above for more.

Predicted drier El Nino weather pattern 'vanished' a while ago so wetter, whiter winter predicted

The 1970's advertisement for Chiffon margarine told us "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."
But it's perfectly okay as we know for the favor to be returned as she threw weather watchers a nifty change-up over the past couple of months.
"I've never in my life seen a warm sea surface temperature pattern disappear so fast," Eastern Washington geography and meteorology professor Dr. Robert Quinn said back in October when the forecasted El Nino vanished. "It's gone," the noted expert in long-term weather forecasting said.

College Hockey:Shyiak Named Head Coach At UAA
NMU Associate Coach Returns To WCHA
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Dave Shyiak has been hired as the fourth head coach of Alaska-Anchorage in the 26-year history of the program. Shyiak replaces John Hill, who resigned last week to take the assistant coaching position at Minnesota.
"My family and I are extremely excited to have this opportunity. We can't wait to get to Anchorage to begin building relationships with the team, the staff and the community," Shyiak said. "My vision and passion for this position remains the same as it was four years ago when I applied — UAA hockey has great potential to grow and have success. John (Hill) has created a very stable foundation and both Jack (Kowal) and Keith's (Morris) recruiting efforts have resulted in upgrading the talent level. I am particularly grateful to Dr. (Steve) Cobb and the UAA administration for this opportunity. Everyone has treated me first class."
"Dave's reputation as both a player and coach is one of a tough, hardworking competitor. I think he's a great fit for UAA and has the ability to take our program forward," said Dr. Cobb, the athletic director at UAA. "Dave will be in Anchorage soon to meet with our players and staff and begin laying the groundwork for his tenure as UAA's next hockey coach. I strongly believe the Seawolves are in good hands."
Shyiak, who has spent the last three years as the associate head coach at Northern Michigan, and the seven previously as assistant head coach, has played a hand in helping the Wildcats to seven 20-win seasons, six CCHA Super Six tournament berths and one NCAA tournament appearance (1998-99). The Wildcats have averaged over 20 wins a season under Shyiak's tenure. Shyiak returns to the WCHA, of which NMU was a member during Shyiak's first three seasons as an assistant and as a player at NMU. He was a co-captain on NMU's 1991 NCAA Championship team, Shyiak also claimed two WCHA Tournament titles (1989 and 1991) and one WCHA regular-season title (1991).
"I'm extremely happy for Dave and his family," said NMU head coach Walt Kyle. "This is a big loss for our program — he's been such a part of NMU hockey, both as a player and as a coach and has done a great job for us. Anchorage is getting a great man who will do an excellent job."
Shyiak served as the head coach of the North American Select Team in 2000 and 2001, guiding the squad to silver medal finishes both seasons at the World "Junior A" Hockey Tournament.
Prior to his stint at his alma mater, Shyiak was general manager and head coach of the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League (1994-95) and head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters of the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League (1993-94). He began his coaching career as a student assistant at NMU under Rick Comley in 1992-93. Shyiak was also a finalist for the UAA head coaching position in 2001 when Hill was named the head coach.

Ready for some scoop on the end of "Bones" season 9? On Wednesday, May 7, we joined a conference call with the FOX hit's stars, Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, to find out what's coming up in the season's last two episodes.
Meet the new squintern The penultimate episode of the season, "The Drama in the Queen," introduces the new squintern, Jessica Watten, played by Laura Spencer. "Brennan thinks that the new squintern is very good at her job, except she does not care for the way she guesses about things and makes assumptions," Deschanel previewed. "Brennan respects her but likes to keep her in line because she goes off on tangents a bit. She's a little too intuitive for Brennan."
However, while Jessica may not get off to the best start with Sweets, that could change. "She really rubs Sweets the wrong way, but then that attention might turn to a romantic way. She has some interest in Sweets," Deschanel said.
A big finale cliffhanger There is a lot coming up in the season finale, "The Recluse in the Recliner," directed by Boreanaz, whose work behind the camera Deschanel took the time to praise. "There were lots of elements that were involved, whether it was dealing with the big huge hearing in front of Congress or the intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booth's relationship," the episode's director teased, with Deschanel adding, "There's a big cliffhanger. There's a lot going on for Booth and Brennan."
Everything is tied together in the finale, and the dead body of the week is that of a conspiracy blogger, Wesley Foster. Booth doesn't know him, but the blogger calls him up saying he wants to talk about the McNamaras. "This has to do with a broader part of the McNamaras," Deschanel explained. "The next thing you know, this guy is burned to death in his trailer. …It leads us to think there might be people involved with this at the FBI."
But what will this season finale mean for Booth and Brennan's relationship? The actress teased "a huge thing" at the end of the episode that changes everything, including Booth's job and possibly Brennan's job. "It will change the dynamic and everything about them and their work and relationship," she said. "It puts them in a different place, for sure," Boreanaz added. "There's a lot of destructive forces that come upon us and we find out that there's more to it than what meets the eye and they've been working underground for a while. … It all kind of comes to a head, and it's pretty detrimental at the end. Things will change for the good, and there will be also things that they will have to adjust to. I keep saying adjusting because it's definitely going to be different."
"Bones" season 9 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on FOX. The season finale airs May 19. How do you think the season is going to end?

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE ; 14 June 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430614-TC-AC-01; CL 16: 196-197
Chelsea, Wednesday Evg [14 June 1843]
Dear Brother,
I have written to you at the "Post-Office, Liverpool," today; but I find, on computing, that the Money Order must go off tonight also, or you will not get it in time for Friday,—perhaps. I will take it up into the region of the General Post tonight.— As £500 is the sum agreed on, I here send you my full half of it (£250) according to original intention. May it be a blessing where it is going!
Unless there be some great haste, you had better let me speak to Colman before you dispose of it thro' any Bank. Colman is the American from Canadaigua.1
I have written to Mr Adamson of the Irish Street Bank,2 that he is not to pay the money to any but yourself, to avoid mistakes.— I will lose no time in seeing Colman. Probably on Friday Evening. You will in that case hear the result by Saturdays Post.
I ought also to take care of not missing the Post for America! I will buy that "shilling book" you talked of,3 this very night at the Post-Office, if they have it.
My affectionate regards to Jean and her Household; my blessings to all.
Ever your affectionate /
T. Carlyle

Does someone know if the following is true:
Let $\mathbb{X}$ be some arbitrary Banach space. $\{x_k \}_{k=1}^{\infty} \in \mathbb{X}$ is a sequence chosen from $\mathbb{X}$.
Now, if the series
$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty \|x_k\|_X$$
converges, would the "more generic" series
$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty x_k$$ also converge?
If yes, could you please give the proof (or just mark the proof steps) ?
Thank you.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day In Dublin
Recovering from a probable hangover may not prove to be easy, but it'll be worth it. To celebrate what is a worldwide festival commemorating St. Patrick, Dublin puts on quite a show. The highlight of this national holiday is, without a doubt, the huge parade, involving thousands of performers and attracting loads of tourists from around the UK and beyond.
Kicking off at noon on St. Patrick Street, the paraders and marching bands wind their way around Dublin throughout the afternoon. To get into the spirit, many dress in green garb from head to toe — do the same if you want the full experience. The main spot to catch this nationally televised event is on O'Connell Street, a Dublin thoroughfare.
The theme of the parade varies from year to year, but remains an event recognized the world over for its magnitude and ability to capture the Irish culture. Song and dance infect the scores of observers on the street, making the whole city come alive.
If you're still able to stand on two feet after the parade subsides, there is a Celtic festival at St. Stephen's Green from 2:30-6pm. Here, inhibitions are shed as the huge crowds try, as a group, to pick up the difficult traditional dance steps. If this is not your cup of ale , any restaurant, pub or hotel will be alive with live music and drink for the whole day and night.
Though the "authentic" Irish pubs are less common, The Long Hall, Mulligan's and McDaid's still hold true to their roots. All will no doubt offer planned St. Patrick's festivities to delight you throughout this, your last night in Dublin (at least this year).
who needs luck?Often referred to as the Mardi Gras of Europe, Dublin's St. Patrick's Day events are filled with more Emerald Isle fun than you could ever imagine. Though many come simply for the pints of Guinness, the other festivities are just as likely to be memorable. One cannot ask for a more perfect setting than the old streets of Dublin, where St. Patrick's Day transcends being a holiday and evokes a certain way of life — one that we wouldn't mind adopting.

I am trying to fit an HMM to a dataset resembling:
id0: A, A, A, C, B, A, C, B
id1: C, B, A, A, C, C
id2: B, A, A, C, B, B, A
In total there are three characters (A, B, C) and about 40k of such rows. I'm using R's
HMMFit from the
RHmm package.
As input to
HMMFit one has to select the desired number of hidden states, so I can generate different models for different numbers of hidden states. In addition to the model,
HMMFit reports the log-likelihood, the BIC criterium and the AIC criterium.
How does one evaluate the adequacy of such a model? Should one infer the model from training data as opposed to the entire dataset like I do now? If yes, how does one check if the trained model describes the test data?
Given different potentially adequate models generated for different numbers of hidden states, which one should I prefer?

In Blast From The Past, Debt Ceiling Could Be Investors' Biggest Worry
The improving U.S. economy and the taming of Europe's sovereign-debt crisis (for now) have been cited as the main reasons why stocks have surged off the October lows. But in a flashback to 2011, the debt ceiling could hinder the recent rally.
The Dow has advanced 21% since October, while the S&P 500 is up 23%. The doubters believe it won't take much to derail the rally. If economic growth were to hit a pothole, or Europe's problems got measurably worse, stocks could give back some of the recent gains.
But Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, says the rally could falter for another reason. He thinks the debt ceiling will be the catalyst that halts the recent gains.
Yes, that pesky debt ceiling that prompted rancorous debates in Washington and was partially responsible for stocks swooning last summer. "The U.S. government may not make it to the November election before triggering the need to once again raise the Federal debt ceiling," Colas says.
More from Colas:
The problem here is that Washington has proven itself incapable of dealing with this issue, and any debate surrounding it reveals the fundamental lack of leadership in D.C. That's why markets rolled over last August — any federal debt limit debates raises the theoretical danger of a technical default. It is a self-inflicted wound, to be sure, and not one that has to be life threatening. But for an investor, it is a nasty one to watch unfold.
U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday, with major indexes recapturing much of Friday's declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 72.81 points, or 0.57%, to 12874.04. The S&P 500 tacked on 9.13 points, or 0.68%, to 1351.77.
The S&P 500 crossed back above the 1350 level, which has historically proven to be a key area for the broad market. From Colas:
- The first time the index breached 1350 was April 1999. That is +4,600 days ago, by the way.
- In December 2000, [the S&P 500] crossed 1350 again, on its way down to the lows of 800 in 2002.
- In October 2006, the S&P 500 went through 1350 again, on its way to a brief new high of just over 1560 in October 2007.
- The index then broke down as the financial crisis hit, churning through 1350 several times before its "Devil's low" of 666 intraday in early 2009.
- We were at 1350 most recently a year ago, when this level (plus or minus a dozen points or so) represented "resistance" to any further moves higher.
This time may be different.
"Corporate earnings are the highest now relative to any previous market transit through the 1350 mark," he says. "Even if we fall short of the consensus $110/share mark by 10% this year, we'll still be at 13.6x earnings."
In other words, cheap P/E ratios provide further fuel for the bulls that the S&P 500 is poised to break through this key level.
