The years of 2014 and 2015 bring with them an interesting and uncommon occurrence called the "Blood Moon Tetrads." This title reflects the fact that there will be four "blood moons" during these two years, an astronomical phenomenon involving the eclipse of a full moon. These total lunar eclipses will occur on April 15th and October 8th of 2014, and April 4th and September 28th of 2015. Because of atmospheric conditions during these total eclipses, the lunar surface will appear "blood red" from our perspective. Fortunately for Americans, all four of these blood or red moons will be visible from the United States.
The Blood Moon Tetrads have occurred a number of times in the last several centuries, with an attendant mythology developing around them, including and especially among Christians during the past nearly 2,000 years. As Robert Tulip states in The 2014 Astrotheology Calendar (2):
Some fundamentalist Christians link this series of four eclipses or 'Tetrads' to prophecies of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. They cite biblical mentions of the blood moon, including the apostle Peter's quote from the prophet Joel in Acts 2:20 and the opening of the sixth seal described at Revelation 6:12.
Robert also points out that this natural occurrence is valuable not only to Christian prophecy but also to those interested in ancient religion and mythology revolving around nature worship, called "astral religion" or "astrotheology." Says he, "Eclipses were key events in the ancient world for showing the exact position of the stars against the seasons, checking the calculations of astronomers in the days before the invention of telescopes."
These astronomical calculations included what is called the "precession of the equinoxes," a phenomenon caused by the earth's tilt on its axis. Tulip relates that the ancient Greek astronomer credited with "discovering" or chronicling the precession, Hipparchus (fl. 134 BCE), used the "blood moon next to Virgo's bright star Spica" in order to "prove that the equinox position had shifted compared to the old star maps from Babylon."
Christian Astrotheology
Like their predecessors among not only the pagans but also the Jews, early Christians and their descendants down the ages were fascinated by the sky and searched it regularly for portents of God's will. Christians traditionally have scoured the Bible for any sign of prophecy that might be used to predict the purported return of Jesus Christ or "Second Coming." The blood moons have been struck upon because of the mention of celestial events in the Bible in several verses, including Luke 21:15:
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars...
Acts 2:20 is another such "prophetic" verse, essentially repeating the scripture at Joel 2:13:
The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
Because of these biblical verses, many fervent Christians have been awaiting Christ's return on every blood moon since the second century or so. The tetrads or collection of four such events in two years have been viewed as especially powerful. The blood moon tetrads of 2014 and 2015 are no less alluring to devotees, whose websites, books and videos on the subject can be found around the internet.
Boötes and Arcturus
As N.W. Barker and I explain also in The 2014 Astrotheology Calendar (27-28), the constellation of Boötes and one of its stars, Arcturus, are also important markers within Christian astrotheology, as Boötes is deemed the "coming one," a herald of the messiah. Thus, the constellation's location during the blood moons is also of interest to Christians.
Tribulation and Dark Age
Unfortunately, this supposed return of Christ as depicted at Revelation 14:14-20 must be accompanied by slaughter and bloodshed that will destroy much of the world's human population. It has been surmised that there will be a modern Dark Age in the near future, because of these scriptures, as Revelation 9:13-15 describes the killing of one-third of the world's population - nonbelievers - while Isaiah 13:12 depicts mankind as becoming "more rare than fine gold."
Obviously, the billions of people globally who are not believers in the Bible will not be happy with such a dreadful fate. Some of these nonbelievers likely will point out that all previous instances of Christ's purported return have failed and that there is even a debate whether or not Jesus was a historical figure who actually came in the first place. Thus, skeptics will predict also that no such event will happen during the coming blood moons of 2014 and 2015.
In any event, the Blood Moon Tetrads are sure to excite millions of people worldwide, both for their supposed "prophetic" quality as well as for their marvelous beauty. We may hope what these blood moons will usher in is peace and understanding between all peoples globally.

The See's Scotchmallow is infamous in the candy world. For the longest time I didn't understand why, mainly because I hadn't ever had one. I did wonder how something so simple and unassuming could be so mind-blowing. It wasn't until this past summer that I finally had a chance to have my taste bugs exploded into space by one. I went up to the bonbon counter in the See's store and bought a few to take home with me. I wish I had the foresight to get more.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, a Scotchmallow is a bonbon (it also comes in bar form, but I've never seen it) that has a honey marshmallow on top of a round of thick, creamy caramel. The whole thing is then enrobed in semi-sweet Guittard chocolate. Are you drooling yet?
The Scotchmallow I got is round and almost an inch tall and about 1 1/2 inches across. So it's not tiny by any means. It's also lighter than it looks, which I can credit to the fresh fluffy marshmallow inside.
Let's just say this is a bite of heaven. The chew is substantial, since the caramel is so soft and thick, so this little bonbon packs quite a punch. The dark chocolate is flavorful and holds its own against the marshmallow and caramel, and does a nice, neat job of holding it all together. The caramel is awesome: thick, chewy, and soft with strong burnt sugar notes and a subtle saltiness. The marshmallow is fresh and spongy, with a subtle sweetness. Ambrosia.
There also seems to be many ways in which you can eat a Scotchmallow. You can pop the whole thing in your mouth in one go, nibble off the chocolate bit by bit, eat a hole and suck the marshmallow out first, etc. etc. I was recommended by a friend to work it so that the marshmallow is the last part you eat, so you can really taste the honey. It's impressive that was and you so can taste the wonderful, subtle flavors in the fresh marshmallow.
You have no lived until you've tried one of these. If you haven't, I suggest rectifying that right away, you won't regret it.

Firearm mixed with toys results in child abuse charges
Published: Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at 10:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at 10:32 a.m.
A father and mother of six children have been charged with child abuse after an investigation by the Thomasville Police Department, according to arrest warrants.
Aldo Bravo, 36, and Doris Hernandez Gonzalez, 26, both of 611 Kahler St., Apt. A, Thomasville, have each been charged with felony possession of a stolen firearm, failure to store a firearm to protect minors and misdemeanor child abuse. Bravo also has been charged with felony possession of a firearm by a felon. Officers took Bravo and Gonzalez into custody Tuesday afternoon.
The TPD alleged in arrest warrants that Gonzalez and Bravo were in possession of a loaded firearm in an unsecured purse on the couch where children were sitting. The purse, according to the court document, was mixed in with the children's toys. The arrest warrant further alleged Bravo and Gonzalez left a machete knife under the children's bed.
According to court records, Bravo was convicted Dec. 17, 2009, of felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
Bravo received a $25,000 secured bond and Gonzalez a $10,000 secured bond. The two have a court date of Sept. 24 in Thomasville District Court.

It's the UK though...Dude could have found himself being dinged for assault, as has occurred seriously toward other persons under similar self defense conditions.
Recall the shop owner attacked and also kicked in the testicles (days prior he had a vasectomy and was on the mend) by two BGs who to his defense grabbed a near by hammer to defend himself only to later be re-victimized by their court system. :|

McCalium was found guilty of aggravated burglary at a trial in March, during which he had claimed he could not remember the incident. HAHAHA.....could not remember the incident...KO'd on his feet...no worries, he can pin the "after" pictures up in his cell to help him remember.

I'm very surprised that the victim wasn't locked up for life, and the criminal given a home, a car, and three kids as compensation for his "ordeal"... being the UK and all.
"Aggravated burglary" sounds more like turning on the music too loudly while removing the contents of an unoccupied dwelling.
IMO, the idiot should have been charged with attempted murder due to the stoic attempt to erase the citizen's life, instead of some pansy alternative .
This failing in crimes and punishments is where the rubber meets the road. We're almost completely incapable of calling a spade a spade, anymore.

First Monos Finish PV, Others Park
San Diego Yacht Club's 1000-mile race to Puerto Vallarta opened for the first time this year to official multihull entries, and the two that answered the call both found the conditions they needed to obliterate the existing course records held by monohulls.
Tom Siebel's Mod 70, Orion, pictured at right, was first into PV at the blistering pace ot 2 days, 8 hours 33 minutes. And how does that compare to the monohull times? Well, son, the breeze on the course was cruelly slowing down for the monohull end of the fleet. In the early hours of Wednesday, March 19, Bob Pethick's Rogers 45, Bretwalda, became the first monohull to finish. The time: 8:20:25. Meanwhile, Blue Planet Times received this dawn missive from the crew of Bill Helvestine's Santa Cruz 50, Deception . . .
It is 0630 here in Mexico – Cabo to be exact. After drifting through another never-ending wind hole, with forecasts of even less wind, a turtle doing laps around the boat, and Expedition telling us we would arrive in PV sometime in August, we decided to withdraw from the Vallarta Race so that we can make it to the MexORC start. All is well onboard our slightly delirious boat of smiles, we poked into Cabo for fuel and a few cervezas (that conveniently come in 8-packs)and we are now headed to PV.

Cross Country / A Memoir of France
8: Lost in Translation
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2011 Paul Ben-Itzak
Torn between two Martas
When a white French person tells you a neighborhood is dangerous, often what s/he really means by 'dangerous' is 'There are a lot of French Arabs there.' (Except that the white French person would just call them 'Arabs,' regardless of how many generations their families have been implanted in France.) I hadn't yet realized this false equivalence when I moved to France in the summer of 2001, so that when I found myself, less than a week after my arrival, taking a midnight stroll down what I'd been warned was the most 'dangerous' street in the most 'dangerous' town in France, Montpellier, flanked on both sides of the street by swarthy male citizens whose eyes were riveted on me, I felt like I was running a gauntlet. I nonetheless wore the widest possible grin on my face because in front of me, carrying my DJ equipment between them and holding my life in their hands were the real objects of the local attention, two gorgeous ladies from Spain, Marta (a glittering blonde of 28) y Marta (a lithesome and winsome brunette of 22). I'd first spotted Marta y Marta the night before at La Chapelle, an underground performance space in a converted chapel in the gypsy section of this town between the southwest and southeast of the country, where I'd convinced the experimental music artist who ran the place to let me spin. This was enough of a connection so that when we ran into each other the next day at a dance performance in another church downtown, we struck up a conversation after the performance, over chilled red wine poured from a carafe. More than anything else, I'd come to France in search of the femme de ma vie. If I'd have known then what I finally accepted 10 years later about the impossibility of me and French women breaching the culture gap as well as the sexual divide -- if men are from Mars and women are from Venus, French women are a Mars-Venus hybrid and a formidable opponent for a Californian man from Venus -- I would have followed the Martas straight back to Madrid and would probably be presiding today over a casa of little Martas and Pablos, instead of chasing after the eternally elusive Sophie. But more on her later.
Infused with courage by the cold red wine, I'd invited the Martas to join me at a performance that same night at les Ursulines, the headquarters (on the rue Louis Blanc across the street from the Centre Social Martin Luther King Jr) of the dance festival I was putatively in Montpellier to cover. Afterwards we wandered the narrow rues of the old city that, if you don't mind meandering around hilly medieval labyrinths, eventually connects the rue Louis Blanc and lower Montpellier with the Place de la Comedie and the city's heights, munching on tielles Setoise, a savory pastry stuffed with octopus and tomatoes and the specialty of the neighboring Mediterranean port town Sete, blowing German bubbles I'd had flown in from my step-mother's soap store in San Francisco ("Common Scents") from the Corinthian temple overlooking the grand aqueduct, and in general comporting ourselves in a rowdy manner that marked us as distinctly un-French. At the end of the evening, before they departed from La Chapelle, I gave Marta y Marta my e-mail and returned to my destiny of semi-fatale femmes francaises.
Returning to Montpellier the next summer for the same dance festival, I burst into tears as I made my way down through the old city to les Ursulines, missing Marta y Marta and regretting that I hadn't been more courageous and asked for their e-mail addresses, let alone made an actual pass. Marc, the man with the waffles and cappuccino boutique on the rue Louis Blanc -- 10 francs for a combo of both! -- was still there, merci a Dieu, to provide some stability. (By the next summer he was gone, chased out by the French tax laws which claimed 60 percent of his income.) Having spent a decade creating the concept while expatriated in Australia, he'd warned me, after I'd complimented his cappuccino, that most French café-tenders were blasé about how they prepared their coffee, and he was right. Most baristas, my experience over the next nine years would bear out, slop it into thimble-sized cups which might make you think you're getting espresso-caliber potency but don't be deceived, it's weak and tepid, more milky brown than cobalt black. If you like it thick and strong as mud, you'll have a better shot if you ask for 'café a l'Italienne.' Another trick for a poor man's café creme: Request a noisette, coffee topped off -- when done right -- with foam from steamed milk. Same price as a normal coffee. I once stopped going to Le Valmy, my regular café on the Canal St. Martin, only in part because my barista buddy Djamel had quit; his replacement made the mistake of sullenly serving my noisette with cold milk poured straight from the carton. It was a year before I was back... just in time to befriend the new barista, Djianne, the girl I grew up dreaming of, full of life and glowing with Mediterranean beauty, the heritage of a Moroccan mother and Algerian father.
Speaking of exotic women -- and returning us to Montpellier in that second summer of 2002: Trying to rally from the loss of Marta y Marta, and needing to do some work, one night I decided to go to the all-night gnawa performance and ball in les Ursulines. The cloisters had been re-done as a sort of souk -- I think this was the concept anyway. Of course, as is often the case with establishment theaters in France, the festival had failed to adequately promote the exotic performance of gnawa musicians and dancers from Morocco among Montpellier's indigenous North African-originated population, no doubt less exotic because they were so dangerous. But word had got out to a few enterprising entrepreneurs, one of whom, a tall man done up in sandals, white shorts, a tropical shirt and Panama hat, sold me a mint tea a la Montpellier from his stand in front of the cloisters, made from fresh mint with a spoonful of pine nuts ladled into it. (Le Valmy in Paris also serves its mint tea in this manner, out of silver kettles.) Inside, in addition to the musicians on a stage before which we were all invited to dance, there were two female dancers in white tunics who danced with us. I had recently read Paolo Coelho's "The Alchemist" and from the moment one of the dancers, sensuous even in a loose ankle-length white tunic, gave me her first gaze, continuing intermittently until the dance ended at five the next morning and she gave me one last piercing gaze, daring me to act, and I meekly walked away into the pre-dawn light, I was convinced that she was my Fatima. Later, writing my review, I tried to get her name from the festival's publicist so that I could give her proper credit. The white English flack dodged, claiming that, "Well, in that culture, they would never reveal the women's names." After all, she was just an Arab girl. I accordingly left the name of the festival out of my review, referring to it has having taken place "somewhere in southern France." That sure showed them. What did this experience show me, in my ongoing search for the femme de ma vie? Perhaps this: Don't spend too much time regretting the Martas of your past; you might miss the Fatima right in front of you.

Going Mobile
The young falcons are just starting to get their feet under them - literally. The eyases will soon be able to stand and their feet instead of waddling on their "ankles" (tarsus). This will mark their ability tp move around much more effectively. At this point they're still a bit unsteady, but with some practice will soon be able to get around quite well.
This mobility created some consternation in 2007 (another late nest attempt at this site) as the young left the box and were unable to climb back in. We believe that the young were attempting to excape the heat of day by seeking shade elsewhere on the ledge. This necessitated some modifications including the ramp and overhand (for shade) seen on the nest box now.
Should the eyases again decide to explore the ledge there is no cause for concern...the ledge has a significant vertical wall running for its entire length - which will keep the chicks safely contained. As demonstrated by the 2007 season (http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/falconcam2008/2007-archive.asp), the parents will find and feed should they wander from the nest box.

The destination for professionals in the field of death, dying and grief
The National Center for Death Education (NCDE) at Mount Ida College is dedicated to offering you and fellow care giving professionals in thanatology—the field of death, dying and grief—the latest industry knowledge and trends through a number of professional development programs.
We design our programs with our philosophy and educational approach in mind; that death and loss are a part of the natural continuum of life, including the many forms and expressions death, dying, grief and loss have within the contexts of families, communities, and with those who have had similar experiences.
Here are a few of the great programs that benefit professionals in grief and loss, trauma, chaplaincy, social work, nursing, employee assistance personnel, teachers, mental health and counseling:
There are no pre-requisites or admission requirements. We welcome anyone wishing to supplement their education and professional experience with advanced study in end-of-life issues.

Health & Pregnancy
Should Mom See Her Stillborn Baby?
July 11, 2002 -- When Brenda Hecht went into labor with her third child 15 years ago, everything seemed normal. But soon after arriving at the hospital, she and her husband Richard learned that something had gone terribly wrong. Doctors found no heartbeat and hours later their daughter Amanda was born dead.
"We held her in our arms, and I am so glad we did," Hecht tells WebMD. "I can remember opening the blanket and seeing 10 perfect fingers, 10 perfect toes, and a beautiful head of dark hair. Even now in my mind I see that picture and think about what a pretty, perfect baby she was. If I hadn't seen her, my imagination might have come up with something that was much worse."
Like many parents grieving the loss of a newborn, the Hechts took comfort in seeing and holding their stillborn daughter. But research from the U.K. suggests that the practice may actually traumatize some parents and contribute to depression.
A study of 65 women who had given birth to stillborn children found that 39% of those who saw and held their babies experienced depression following the birth, compared with 21% who saw but did not hold their infants. Just 6% of mothers who did not see or hold their newborns experienced depression. Stillbirth was defined as loss during the second half of pregnancy.
The study, reported in the July 13 issue of the medical journal The Lancet, showed that mothers who had significant contact with their stillborn infants tended to have greater anxiety, more symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, and more problems bonding with children born after the stillbirth.
Lead researcher and psychiatrist Patricia Hughes, MD, says the findings should not be interpreted as suggesting that contact is bad for all grieving parents. Instead, she says, they show that different parents have different needs with regard to mourning loss.
Hughes says the study was done to measure the effectiveness of a policy in the U.K. encouraging parents to see, hold, and dress their stillborn babies, as well as hold funerals and keep pictures and mementos.

"This approval will expand the availability of rhPDGF-BB inventory insuring the company's ability to meet the demands for commercial supply of GEM 21S," points out Samuel E. Lynch, president and CEO. GEM 21S is marketed for the treatment of periodontal bone defects and gingival recession. GEM OS1, which also uses rhPDGF-BB, is currently being evaluated in three clinical trials for orthopedic indications.
As part of the approval process of GEM 21S, the FDA required the review and approval of a manufacturing site owned and operated by Novartis in Vacaville, CA, which manufactures bulk supply of rhPDGF-BB.
In addition, the two other FDA conditions as part of the post-approval requirements for GEM 21S were also been met. These included the establishment of a new analytical test for the identification of rhPDGF-BB in bulk production lots and the submission of characterization data to the FDA for lots of rhPDGF-BB manufactured through August 2006.

April marks the imminent close of another ski season, but there's still time to hit the slopes and have some fun with the National Ability Center. All it takes to join in the NAC's commitment "to the development of lifetime skills for people of all ages and abilities" is a few hours of training and a contagious passion for the outdoors.
Winter orientations are nearly over, but after completing their training volunteers are free to head out on half-day ski tours with attendees at resorts like PCMR, Deer Valley, and Canyons. Every outing pairs volunteers with a trained NAC instructor, so your main responsibilities are simply to ensure participants stay safe and are having fun.
If you're too late to attend an orientation, or you spend your winter hibernating until spring spurs you back outside, you can spend some time at the NAC's ranch. There, participants can take part in adaptive horseback riding, hippotherapy—which helps improve motor and sensory input in patients—and equine facilitated learning. Each of these programs are best suited for children, but can be therapeutic for any individual with behavioral, cognitive, or physical disabilities. You can support the equestrian center by volunteering, or by joining in their annual Barn Party, held this June 7.
If riding slopes and horses isn't in your wheelhouse, the NAC has tons of spring and summer programs—climbing clinics, watersports events and camping excursions to name a few—and plenty of need for outgoing outdoorsmen and women to staff each of them.
For more details about volunteering, applications, training dates and descriptions, contact the NAC's Volunteer Coordinator, Sarah Jones, at 435-649-3991 x625 or email email@example.com.

It has recently been shown that the oxygenregulated
factors erythropoietin (Epo) and vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF) confer protection on different
cells, including neuronal-derived ones. The receptors for
Epo and VEGF are widely expressed in different organs.
Since mammalian auditory hair cells can irreversibly be
damaged by different agents, we aimed to identify otoprotective
compounds. We focused on the role of Epo and
VEGF in the inner ear and review the recent studies. Epo
and its receptor are expressed in the inner ear. In vitro
experiments on auditory hair cells showed a protective
effect of Epo in ischemia- and gentamicin-induced hair cell
damage. In contrast, an in vivo study using an animal
model of noise-induced hearing loss showed a negative
effect of Epo. Also VEGF and its receptors are expressed in
the inner ear. Changes in the expression of VEGF or its
receptors have been found in the cochlea after noise
exposure, transcranial vibration and diabetic or aged animals.
Until now, there are no studies about a direct effect of
VEGF on auditory hair cells in vitro or in vivo. We could
exclude a protective effect of VEGF on gentamicininduced
auditory hair cell damage in vitro. Thus, we conclude
that Epo but not VEGF has a protective effect on
auditory hair cell damage at least in vitro. (Part of a multiauthor

In this tutorial I want to explain how to implement a simple launching soon page using PHP and jQuery. What's a launching soon page? In general it's a page that informs the visitors of a website under construction about when the website is going to be online and allows them to leave their emails in order to be updated when the website is on-line. A typical launching soon page contains a countdown and a form that collects emails from interested visitors. In this tutorial I implemented a launching soon page like this:
This page is very simple to modify and customize using just some lines of CSS code. You can also add the logo of your company and all elements you want with some lines of HTML code. Download the source code of this tutorial you can customize and reuse in your web project for free!
A little introduction
How I said this package is ready to use and contains these files:
- index.php: the launching soon page final interface (countdow + form)
- config.php: enables database connection
- insert.php: PHP code to add emails into a database table
- js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js: jQuery framework
- js/countdown.js: the countdown script
1. index.php
index.php is the final interface of your launching soon page. How I said it contains a countdown and a form to allow users to leave their emails.
The countdown script
In order to implement the countdown I used this dynamic countdown script that lets you count down to relative events of a future date/time. This future date, while the same for everyone, occurs differently depending on the time zone they're in. The result is here and it's fully customizable changing some lines of CSS code:
The only thing you have to do is to add this line of code in the <head> tag of the page:
Then, in the tag <body> add the following lines of code to display the countdown:
<script type="text/javascript">
var currentyear = new Date().getFullYear()
var target_date = new cdtime("count_down_container", "July 6, "+currentyear+" 0:0:00")
target_date.displaycountdown("days", displayCountDown)
To set a target date you have to change this line modifying July 6 and the hour 0:0:00 with your target date (for example 25 december):
...if your target date is 25 December the previous line becomes:
If you want to change the style of the countdown you have to modify the following CSS classes:
.count_down sup{...}
In particular .count_down{} changes the format of the numbers and .count_down sup{} changes the style of the text "days", "hours", "minutes".
jQuery and the input form
Ok, the countdown is ready! Next step: add this line of code to include jQuery in the <head> tag of the page:
Now, in the tag <body> add a simple form with an input field:
<input id="input_leave_email" type="text" class="input_bg" value="Add your e-mail address"/>
<button type="submit" class="input_button">Update me</button>
...and add this layer to display a custom message when an user submit the form:
...the result after the submission is here:
The form with the input field disappears with a nice fade-out effect and a success message appears in its place. Now, in the <head> tag, after the line of code that includes jQuery, add this script to enable ajax functionalities to insert emails added from users into a database table without reload the page:
var input_leave_email = $('#input_leave_email').attr('value');
type: "POST",
url: "insert.php",
data:"input_leave_email="+ input_leave_email,
success: function(){
return false;
2. insert.php
insert.php contains some lines of PHP code to insert an email address into a database table. In this example I created a table EMAIL with just one attribute "email". PHP code is very simple:
/* Connection to Database */
/* Remove HTML tag to prevent query injection */
$email = strip_tags($_POST['input_leave_email']);
$sql = 'INSERT INTO WALL (email) VALUES( "'.$email.'")';
echo $email;
} else { echo '0'; }
Now, remember to modify your database connection parameters in config.php and upload all files on your testing server. Than load index.php and see the result!
Take a look at the live preview here.
That's all! Download the source code of this tutorial you can customize and reuse in your web project for free! Leave a comment for your suggestions, thanks!

College Hockey:Goeckner-Zoeller Gives Princeton OT Win Versus Brown
PRINCETON, N.J. — The final power play of the night proved to be the decisive one.
Princeton senior forward Grant Goeckner-Zoeller connected at 1:29 of overtime on the only shot of the extra session to lift host Princeton to a 3-2 win over ECACHL rival Brown before 1,703 fans at Hobey Baker Rink on Saturday. The two teams had gone scoreless in a combined 14 power-play attempts in regulation.
"It was a broken play," said Goeckner-Zoeller, who tallied two of the three Princeton goals, of the game-winner. It came after Brown was penalized for having too many men on the ice just 53 seconds into the fourth period.
"The goalie was down and I tried to push it into the far side," added the Los Angeles native. "It went off the inside of his pad and in, and it's a big win for us."
It was also the third overtime victory of the season for the Tigers, who dropped a 3-2 regulation decision to visiting Yale last night. Princeton had gone winless in its previous 27 overtime contests entering the current campaign.
"I give our guys credit," said third-year Princeton head coach Guy Gadowsky. "They came out determined and tried to erase Friday's slow start. They played hard and it paid off."
Princeton, which now heads into a two-week academic break for exams, improved to 9-9-2 overall and 6-7-1 in league play, while Brown falls to 7-7-3 on the year and 3-6-1 in the conference. The Tigers outshot the Bears, 42-22, and went 1-for-8 on the power play while Brown was blanked in seven man-advantage attempts. Freshman goaltender Dan Rosen finished with 39 saves for the Bears, while Princeton senior netminder B.J. Sklapsky stopped 20 shots in picking up his second win of 2006-07.
The first dangerous scoring chance of the night came two-and-half minutes in as a slapper by Brown freshman center Devin Timberlake from the right circle was sticked aside by Sklapsky. It came moments after Brown freshman wing Aaron Volpatti had been knocked down at center ice by Princeton junior blueliner Mike Moore, but still managed to get the puck across to Timberlake for the shot.
Princeton's first solid opportunity came two minutes later when Rosen stopped Princeton sophomore wing Brandan Kushniruk's wrist shot from the left circle, just before Princeton captain Darroll Powe was banished for charging at 4:21.
The Bears' best chance on their first power play came with 13:45 remaining in the opening period when junior wing Chris Poli's shot from the right circle was stopped by Sklapsky. The Tigers then picked up their first power play when Brown sophomore defenseman Matt Palmer was penalized for hitting from behind at 7:09, and Princeton almost got on the board just over 20 seconds into the man advantage.
Rosen stopped a shot and watched the rebound bounce to his left where it was corralled by Goeckner-Zoeller, who stepped to his right and fired upstairs, only to see Rosen bat it away with his blocker. Rosen then stopped a screened shot from the left point by Princeton senior defender Brett Westgarth a minute later as time wound down on the man advantage.
Brown picked up another power play at 9:41, as Princeton senior forward Kevin Westgarth was tabbed for high-sticking, but it was Princeton earning another close-in chance with 9:14 left, as junior center Landis Stankievech one-time a shorthanded shot almost point-blank on Rosen, who made the stop.
The teams went back and forth after returning to equal strength before Princeton began to press, with the Tigers finally breaking on top at 14:41 as senior defenseman Daryl Marcoux skated untouched into the slot and shelved a rebound into a half-open net after Rosen had made a save to his right. The goal, Marcoux's first of the campaign, was assisted by rookie winger Kevin Kaiser and Kevin Westgarth.
Brown began a press of its own after the goal, and was rewarded for its efforts just 1:23 before intermission. Sophomore center Matt Vokes took a feed from junior linemate Jeff Prough off a 3-on-2 rush, and fired a shot from the right circle inside the far left post to knot matters with his seventh goal of the season.
Princeton then took the lead back just 1:14 into the second stanza as Goeckner-Zoeller clanged a shot from the right circle off the iron and in for his fifth marker of the year, off set-ups from freshmen Cam MacIntyre and Kevin Crane.
"It went off the far post and in," said Goeckner-Zoeller of his first goal in seven outings. "That's the place I've been shooting to for a long time. It was getting to the point where it wasn't going in, but I'm glad one finally did."
"It's amazing the chances he's had," said Gadowsky of Goeckner-Zoeller, who led all players with six shots on goal. "He doesn't get frustrated, and that's what I love about him. He keeps working and obviously it was a huge game for him tonight."
The game soured into a series of penalties following the Goeckner-Zoeller goal, with Brown committing five of the next six infractions and even allowing the Tigers 20 seconds with a two-man advantage, but neither team was able to convert. Princeton players thought they had gone up by two goals with 12:56 left in the period, but Rosen lay flat on his back on a loose puck in his crease to snuff the threat. Poli then went off at 9:51, followed by offsetting minors to Brown freshman defenseman Jeremy Russell and Princeton sophomore center Brett Wilson. The Tigers generated several solid chances, but Rosen was equal to the task, including an outfielder-style catch of a puck that sailed high above the slot before settling in his outstretched glove.
Princeton freshman center Dan Bartlett was whistled off for a pair of penalties at 11:04 and 13:29 respectively, and the Bears milled about the Princeton zone for most of the two power plays only to see Sklapsky make several saves, while firing wide themselves on a few occasions. Princeton sophomore wing Lee Jubinville skated in off the right wing boards with 2:30 left in the session and shot from the slot, but Rosen stopped him. Sixty seconds later the Bears hit the post at the other end to leave the Tigers up by a goal after 40 minutes, with the squads scoreless in five power-play attempts apiece to that point.
The two teams served up matching minors just two minutes into the third period before Brown picked up its sixth power play as Marcoux was sent off for tripping at 3:33, but the Bears still couldn't tie the game. Goeckner-Zoeller was then sprung loose down the left wing with 14:13 left and walked in alone from the blueline, seeking his second goal, only to be rejected by Rosen's blocker. The Bears then went back on the power play at 9:08 when Sklapsky was caught for tripping, but Brown's best chance was a cross-ice pass to Volpatti at the right post that rocketed through his skates. Freshman defender Scott Van der Linden went off for Brown for boarding at 12:55, but the first chance on the ensuing power play went to the shorthanded Bears, as Timberlake fired from the right circle and Sklapsky had to look behind him to ensure he had made the save, the puck nestled underneath his pads.
Timberlake then led another right wing rush just before the power play expired, but Brown couldn't get a shot off from the slot. Princeton was stopped by Rosen down the far end on its own next rush, and then the Bears finally tied it up as Prough picked up a loose puck and went wide down the left side in the Princeton zone. He then pulled up before the goal line and cut to the net, where he slammed the puck past Sklapsky with 4:42 remaining in regulation.
"That was a great effort," said 10th year Brown head coach Roger Grillo of Prough's play, his third goal in two games and his ninth score of the winter. "He used his speed to the outside and drove the net and scored a big goal for us."
The Bears seemed energized by the goal and attacked the Princeton net in a frenzied fashion, forcing Sklapsky to make a number of saves, with several other shots sailing just wide. Brown continued to carry the play over the next few minutes, but then senior wing Antonin Roux was charged with hooking at 18:36 to put Princeton up by one skater. The Tigers moved the puck around the Brown zone, but Rosen stopped their last effort in regulation when he took Moore's shot from the left circle in his midsection with eight seconds left on the clock. Brown then took the too many men penalty less than a minute into overtime, and Goeckner-Zoeller provided the heroics 36 seconds later to end it.
"The puck went wide and their big guy – I don't remember his name – was lying in the crease and I couldn't get to the post," recalled Rosen. "My leg hit his body and the puck went in. Unfortunately it was a bad bounce for us, but we didn't put ourselves in a good position with the too many men on the ice (penalty)."
"It's a tough way to lose a big game," said Grillo. "I think we're in a little bit of a rut, and we need to work our way out and get our confidence back. We'll look to get things rolling in the second half of the league season and tighten up a few things."
Gadowsky isn't worried about his players now spending 15 days without a game as they break for exams.
"We have high-quality guys with good time-management skills," he said, while adding that the break will also give his team time to heal some bumps and bruises. "I expect to come back with (much) the same tempo as tonight.
"I'm happy with the way our guys are playing, and we'll take it just one game at a time."
Brown plays at Colgate and Cornell next weekend, while Princeton returns to action on Jan. 29 at home against Robert Morris. The Bears and Tigers will complete their two-game season series on Feb. 2 in Providence, where the teams skated to a 3-3 tie last year.

In Brief: OS X 10.5.2 Work Continues, iPhone US Smartphone Share Rises to 28 Percent
- February 5th, 2008

OS X 10.5.2 Work Continues
Apple has once again released another build of Mac OS X 10.5.2 to developers.
Build 9C30 once again lists "no known issues" with Time Machine remaining one of the key areas of testing as well as audio input, Back To My Mac, Bluetooth, Safari, and graphics drivers.
iPhone US Smartphone Share Rises to 28 Percent
According to a report by market research firm Canalys, Apple has managed to garner approximately 28 percent of the US smartphone market during the fourth calendar quarter of 2007.
According to the report iPhone's 28 percent share placed it second in the US market behind only RIM's with 41 percent share.
"When you consider that it launched part way through the year, with limited operator and country coverage, and essentially just one product, Apple has shown very clearly that it can make a difference and has sent a wakeup call to the market leaders," said senior analyst Pete Cunningham. "What it must demonstrate now is that it can build a sustainable business in the converged device space, expanding its coverage and product portfolio.
During January's Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announced during his keynote that Apple had won 19.5% of the smartphone market during the 3rd quarter of 2007.

HTC M4 for China Unicom (603e) gets pictured in live image, has pricing leaked
We first told you about the HTC 603e a couple of weeks ago, when it received its certification from the relevant Chinese authorities. It seemed to be a China-only thing, and its specs didn't fit with either the M4 or G2 HTC devices that have been leaked so far but haven't been officially introduced. Maybe HTC will do that during Mobile World Congress next week.
The HTC 603e has showed up in a live image today, although the screen is completely blurred – supposedly to protect the person who leaked this image. MyDrivers insists that the 603e will in fact be China's version of the M4, even though the specs don't match up. But maybe that will be the case. That said, it's still pretty unlikely that we'll ever see this outside of China.
The 603e is going to be sold by China Unicom, the country's second biggest carrier. It will have a 4.3-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, dual-SIM support, and it will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4.5 on top. This is the first time we hear about this version of Sense, so we assume that HTC will keep the Sense 5 interface exclusive to the One smartphone. This is not unlike what the Taiwanese company has pulled in recent years with regard to software updates – although using the same underlying version of Android, phones that were updated to a certain version got a different Sense than those which shipped with the same Android software. Confusing, but HTC sure thought about this as a way to entice people to buy more of its then new devices. We all know how well that all went, since the company has been struggling for months.
The HTC 603e, or the Chinese M4, will apparently retail for at least 2,000 yuan, which is about $321 or €244. Stay tuned, for pretty soon we might find out how real this actually was.

Looking for new headphones ($40-200)
Hey ABI, it's been a while! Well, I'm actually back in the market for a new pair of headphones. I had a pair of Panasonic HJE900's for about 3 months last year, but I found that the wire casing had gotten pulled back at the housing, so I had them returned and then the place I got them ran out of stock (which they failed to tell me when I returned it) and coincidentally I'm now down $140 dollars.
Since then I've been running on some Skullcandy Ink'd, which honestly aren't bad for the price (~$10), but I've really been craving an actual quality set of headphones. Money at this point isn't much of an issue, but I'd say my max is definitely about $200. I'm looking for something that's a good value, ideally somewhere around $100 if possible. I'm also not opposed to getting IEM's or over-the-ear cans, as long as they're comfortable. I can't stand on-the-ear headphones, as after about 15-30 minutes they start getting really painful.
The main stuff I listen to is various types of rock and alternative. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Franz Ferdinand, The Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Nirvana, The Black Keys, Beck, Green Day, the Killers, Kasabian, Queen, T. Rex, Radiohead, etc. So basically, I don't really need anything with booming base, and my main priorities are good build quality and good clarity.

If you don't want alot of bass then you should look at the KRK KNS8400. They are some of the most comfortable over the ear closed headphones I've ever tried. They've got great clarity, but lack a little in the bass department.
If you want more bass then you can go with the ATH-M50. They're comfortable, but not as light weight as the KRK. They have good bass and seem to take pretty well to being EQ adjusted.
You can order both sets of these headphones from www.zzounds.com and try them out for 30 days. If you don't like one or both sets then simply send them back(at your expense, but that should only be 15$).
Ruger M77 , Howa 1500 , Czech Republic 452-2E
Ruger .22 Single Six, Springfield Armory XD-9 , Springfield Armory XD45ACP
2007 Elite Archery Synergy
Gamo CFX, Gamo PT80
Large Rock
Need your headphones fixed or something soldered? Syndrome's Soldering Service
also you could take a look at shure 440 with 840 pads. this will be around $100 and probably the best price/value in this price range.
for an IEM suggestion I would say that I am really enjoying my Sony xba1 for that type of music. The meleec a161 is getting a lot of buzz right now too. both are balanced armature sets so the bass is different. I am what most would consider a basshead and I still enjoy the quality of bass from these on everything but my hip hop. I do EQ them up a little but nothing drastic. and with that broad of a price range you will get a million and 8 different suggestions and most of them will be valid. These are much cheaper but I really enjoyed my sennheiser hd428 as well. They are marketed as "extra bass" but I almost returned them at first. then I got a j3 with all those sound enhancements and I loved them.

Final Stats
NIU-UIC Box Score
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's basketball team shot a respectable 42 percent from the field (23-for-54) against visiting Illinois-Chicago, four percent better than the visiting Flames. But, UIC (10-2) was an impressive 27-of-31 (.871) from the free throw line, compared to NIU's 7-of-10 (.700) effort, to defeat the Huskies, 66-54. Northern Illinois (4-6) converted 23 field goals and registered a season-high 18 assists with Amanda Corral (Hobart, Ind./Hobart) and Danny Pulliam (Indianapolis, Ind./Pike) each dishing four. Natecia Augusta led the Huskies with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Northern Illinois closed its non-conference schedule 4-6. "I thought we got a little tentative once we made some mistakes. We need learn to just embrace the moment and continue to play our attacking style. We played well enough to win today." said Head Coach Kathi Bennett. "Offensively and defensively, we're doing the right things, we just need to have some shots fall and limit the amount of turnovers. I can handle errors because those happen, but we can't play tentative. We have nothing to lose."The Huskies split the scoring in the first stanza as NIU worked the open pockets, first finding freshman Ally Lehman (Nineveh, Ind./Indian Creek), then Augusta and rounding out with Corral, Pulliam and Ashley Sneed (Harvey, Ill./Thornton). Augusta led Huskie scorers in the first half with six points. Each of the aforementioned scored at least four points in the period.The balanced attack led to a one point NIU advantage with 4:47 left in the half, 26-25, as Alex Lindstrom (Howards Grove, Wis./Howards Grove) drained a three-pointer after receiving a bullet pass from Alex Dumoulin (Elgin, Ill./Elgin CC) across the court. The Flames would go on a 6-0 run to end the first period with a 31-26 lead.After finishing the first half 8-of-9 at the free throw line, UIC would go back to the line 22 times to finish the contest 27-of-31. The Flames were 8-for-25 (.320) from the field in the second frame.The Huskies attacked the paint in the period to score and breakdown Illinois-Chicago's post presence, taking center Katie Hannemann out of the game early with four fouls. Lead passes to Augusta allowed the junior to kiss the glass with her lethal hook shot as Pulliam and Corral serviced. Pulliam found success on the drive and on the line, and Lehman and Sneed spotted up to combine for 8-of-13 (.615) shooting from the field. The quartet accounted for 43 points in contest.Lehman scored a career-high 10 points, shooting 5-of-7 in the game. From the bench, Sneed was 3-for-6 from the field with two free throws to round out her night with eight points. The senior's spot up jumper has proved a valuable piece to the Huskies offensive puzzle thus far as she is shooting a team-best .545 from the field.Freshman Amber Gray (Mukwonago, Wis./Mukwonago) saw her first extended playing time of the season, converting a layup off the glass for her first career basket. Gray also added one rebound her 11 minutes on the court. UIC's Ruvanna Campbell scored game-high 22 points, followed closely behind Rachel Story's 20. Story, a transfer from Louisville, was 10-for-11 at the free throw line.When asked about the upcoming Mid-American Conference season, Bennett added "this team pulls for one another and they are together; I think a lot of good good things can happen heading into conference play. This is a group that can strive together."Northern Illinois will open up MAC play Saturday January 4 at the NIU Convocation Center at 1 p.m. when it hosts Ohio. The Bobcats closed non-conference play 5-6.

Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival is an extraordinary all-day event that features a loud and colorful parade followed by an enormous festival with more than 100 booths, exciting celebrities, musical performances, refreshments, food and a family-friendly play area.
Now in its third year, Miami Beach Gay Pride has grown into the largest, single-day event of the entire year in Miami Beach. The hugely successful event in 2010 attracted more than 35,000 people from all walks of life, all parts of the country, and all age groups. This year, organizers are expecting even larger crowds for the popular parade and festival.
In addition to this year's Grand Marshal, Bravo TV's Andy Cohen, the parade will feature numerous celebrities and VIPs riding in more than 60 floats or marching alongside in solidarity. Continuing her long-standing support of the LGBT community, DJ Tracy Young will be a special guest in the parade fresh off her recent guest appearance on "The Real Housewives of Miami." Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower and several of the city's commissioners and staff will ride atop a specially designed float and many of the entries in the parade will echo this year's "Super Hero" theme of empowerment.
Another highlight of Pride will be a salute to "Legacy Couples" – committed LGBT partners who have been together for 20 or more years who will march and ride together in recognition of their commitment and in affirmation of marriage equality.
Following the parade, the Pride Festival will feature refreshments, booths and two entertainment stages. Performers will include Dominican singer/songwriter Sohanny, performing her urban merengue dance hit "No Es Normal," and multi-talented hit-maker JayQuan whose R&B/Pop/Latin vocals are a standout in the group Nas-T-Boyz. Also performing at the Festival will be Erika Jayne, Miss Richfield 1981, Stephanie Carcache, Marlon Alarm and the Miami Gay Men's Chorus.
The pulse-racing line-up of DJs for the Festival includes Jody McDonald, DJ MIIK, DJ Seijo and Bill Kelly. Festival-goers can also expect some fabulous surprises and guest performances throughout the afternoon.
