In an effort to combat domestic terrorism, and in a bid to create an "open and united country", Kenya is breaking its own laws to harass, kidnap and execute suspects. It's a strange way to go about things, and could well backfire on the Kenyan government. By SIMON ALLISON.
In the wake of last year's Westgate siege, in which 67 people were killed, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta issued a grim warning to its perpetrators.
"We have overcome terrorist attacks before. In fact, we have fought courageously and defeated them within and outside our borders. We will defeat them again. Terrorism in and of itself, is the philosophy of cowards," he said. "But let me make it clear. We shall hunt down the perpetrators wherever they run to. We shall get them. We shall punish them for this heinous crime. I have directed security agencies to be decisive in their response to this or any other threat."
Nearly a year later, and we have a clearer picture of what it means when Kenyan security forces are "decisive in their response". Advocates for basic human rights and the rule of law, look away now.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) released an extraordinary report...

Riot Games is introducing a few changes to runes for the next patch on League of Legends. During the 2014 preseason Riot Games had wanted to make these changes before the official season started, but they realized they would be unable to meet the deadline. Although they are dropping these changes with the incoming patch, they are still "exploring the best way to make runes an interesting and dynamic system for all players". People tend to like to hear the "bad news" before the "good news", so here are the two runes that will be nerfed with the upcoming changes:
Flat Armor (seals):
- 1.0 armor per seal (previously 1.41 per seal)
- 9.00 armor with 9 seals (previously 12.69 armor with 9 seals)
- Balance note: All champions now gain an +4 to their base armor.
Life Steal (quintessences):
- 1.5% life steal per quintessence (previously 2% per quintessence)
- 4.5% ife steal with 3 quintessences (previously 6% with 3 quintessences)
It is safe to assume that whether Riot wants to or not, this will bring some extra variety to seal slots as well as effec the current meta. It's interesting to note that while the value of armor seals has decreased, everyone will be slightly more durable to physical damage due to the compensation that will be made.
The following runes will be receiving an increase in power:
Scaling Armor (seals):
- 3 armor at level 18 per seal (previously 2.7 armor at level 18)
- 27 armor at level 18 with 9 seals (previously 24.3 armor at level 18)
Flat Health (seals):
- 8 health per seal (previously 5.45 health per seal)
- 72 health with 9 seals (previously 48.15 with 9 seals)
Scaling Health (seals):
- 24 health at level 18 per seal (previously 19.44 health at level 18)
- 216 health at level 18 with 9 seals (previously 174.96 health at level 18)
Health Regeneration (seals):
- 0.56 health regen/5 sec per seal (previously 0.43 regen per seal)
- 5 health regen/5 sec with 9 seals (previously 3.87 regen with 9 seals)
Scaling Cooldown Reduction (glyphs):
- -1.67% cooldowns at level 18 per glyphs (previously -1.11% at level 18)
- -15% cooldowns at level 18 with 9 glyphs (previously -9.99% at level 18)
Scaling Magic Resist (glyphs):
- 3.0 magic resist at level 18 per glyphs (previously 2.7 at level 18)
- 27 magic resist at level 18 with 9 glyphs (previously 24.3 at level 18)
Scaling Mana Regeneration (glyphs):
- 0.33 mana regen/5 sec per glyph (previously 0.31 per glyph)
- 3 mana regen/5 sec with 9 glyphs (previously 2.79 with 9 glyphs)
Scaling Mana Regeneration (glyphs):
- 1.2 mana regen/5 sec at level 18 per glyphs (previously 0.99 at level 18)
- 10.8 mana regen/5 sec at level 18 with 9 glyphs (previously 8.91 at level 18)
Cooldown Reduction (quintessences):
- -2.5% cooldowns per quintessence (previously -1.67% per quintessence)
- -7.5% cooldowns with 3 quintessences (previously -5.01% with 3 quintessences)
Scaling Cooldown Reduction (quintessences):
- -5% cooldowns at level 18 per quintessence (previously -2.5% at level 18)
- -15% cooldowns with 3 quintessences (previously -7.5% with 3 quintessences)
Attack Speed (quintessences):
- 4.5% attack speed per quintessence (previously 3.4% per quintessence)
- 13.5% attack speed with 3 quintessences (previously 10.2% with 3 quintessences)
These changes will surely shake things up for casual players and pro players alike. As always, Riot Games is going to keep a close eye on these changes to see whether or not they have to make some counter-adjustments. Summoners of Fort Worth may want to think twice before unlocking any flat armor seals or life steal quintessences. Look for these changes in the upcoming patch for League of Legends!

Taco Bell Employee Shoots Unruly Drive-Through Customer With BB Gun
And the customer got a nibble of his assailant's arm.
Late-night drive-through delays are the worst, but this one takes the gordita: Police say a man waiting at 4 a.m. at the Taco Bell in Springfield, Massachusetts, "became angry (cause he was hungry)," so he parked and started banging on the door to complain. Employee Steven Noska didn't appreciate that, according to the detailed report that the Springfield PD posted on Facebook, and after some shoving, Noska stormed off to retrieve "a handgun (that turned out to be a BB pistol)" he apparently keeps in his vehicle, then fired a few BBs at the customer. Police arrested Noska and confiscated his bean shooter, but it sounds like the unnamed victim at least found a way to take the edge off his hunger: When arrested, Noska apparently "had bite marks on his arm caused by the victim during the fight over 'no tacos or burritos.'"

Despite all that the public knows about the dangers of smoking, tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Heart disease is the number 1 cause of death in Connecticut, and smoking is the number one cause of heart disease. Hundreds of the thousands of chemicals in tobacco smoke are toxic and almost one hundred chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to be carcinogenic; smoking is also responsible for more than 90 percent of all lung cancer deaths.
Studies have shown that tobacco-smoking habits most often develop during adolescence and the teen years. More than 80 percent of adult smokers begin the habit before they turn 18. According to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids more than 3,500 young people try their first cigarette under the age of 18. Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) reports that 6.7 percent of Connecticut teens smoking cigarettes smoked their first whole cigarette before age 11.
CTFK states that 1,000 youth become new, daily smokers. With a third of all youth eventually dying prematurely from smoking-caused diseases, this roughly equates to 6 million young people alive right now who will eventually die from smoking—76,000 of who are currently living in Connecticut, according to the CT DPH.
Connecticut Youth Tobacco Use Habits
The CT DPH reports that 52.8 percent of middle school and high school students have tried a tobacco product, and 24.5 percent currently smoke or are tobacco users in some fashion. According to the 2011 Youth Tobacco Use Report, the prevalence of use of all tobacco products by both middle and high school users decreased from 2000 to 2011.
Twelve percent of middle school students have used a form of tobacco. The rate of middle school students who currently use a form of tobacco is 4.6 percent. For high school students, 40.8 percent have used a form of tobacco; like middle school students, the most popular three picks were cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. The percentage of students who are regular users of a tobacco product is 19.9 percent.
Of current high school smokers, 35.7 percent smoke frequently. Of those, 47.6 percent of high school cigarette smokers want to quit; 41.2 percent of current middle school smokers want to quit.
The Outlook For Quitting
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids reports that while 3 percent of young smokers say they won't be smoking in 5 years, more than 60 percent are still daily smokers 7-9 yeas later. Three out of four U.S. high school students who smoke have tried to quit but failed, and one in seven students have successfully stopped smoking for just 30 days. It can take an average of 7 attempts before one can quit smoking successfully. That is why the proper support and resources are crucial.
Prevention is Key
Statistics say that if someone has not begun using tobacco by age 25, the likelihood that they will ever use it is very low. With the rising popularity of e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products (including among adults), there is a lot of work ahead for the state and beyond. That is why it is so important to continue work on smoking prevention, including less deceitful and persuasive advertising and marketing campaigns, "health-focused" pharmacies like CVS committing to quit selling tobacco products, college campuses like New Haven's Gateway Community College becoming officially "smoke-free," and increasing public policies that support reducing youth smoking, like Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's recent introduction of legislation to strengthen Connecticut's anti-smoking laws and to prevent the sale of tobacco-products to minors.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is a non-profit organization that is leading the fight to reduce tobacco use and decrease its deadly toll. The group advocates on behalf of public policies that prevent kids from smoking, help smokers quit and protect all from secondhand smoke.
Kick Butts Day
Yesterday was officially CTFK's Kick Butts Day, a day of activism giving youth the platform to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco through organized events around the country and world. While more than 1,4000 Kick Butts Day events were held March 19, Kick Butts events can be held any time throughout the year to raise awareness, positively influence peers, and encourage youth to be part of the solution in reducing tobacco use. Find out which ways you can get involved here.

A woman who launched a Facebook appeal to locate the mother who abandoned her in the bathroom of a restaurant is successful.
07:06, UK, Thursday 27 March 2014
A woman abandoned as a baby in the bathroom of a Burger King restaurant has tracked down the mother who gave birth to her 27 years ago.
Katheryn Deprill said she met her biological mother for the first time on Monday in the office of a lawyer after her appeal on Facebook was successful.
Ms Deprill said she felt "pure joy" and it was like "looking in a mirror".
The 27-year-old began her quest on March 2 by posting a photo of herself with a long appeal on the social media site.
She was pictured holding a sign saying: "Looking for my birth mother ... She abandoned me in the Burger King bathroom only hours old, Allentown PA. Please help me find her by sharing my post."
Ms Deprill quickly became known as the Burger King Baby after thousands of users reposted the picture and asked others to help in the search.
The image ended up being shared tens of thousands of times.
Ms Deprill was just hours old when she was abandoned, wrapped in a red sweater, in the bathroom of the fast-food restaurant in 1986.
She was raised by adoptive parents.
Now 27, she is a married mother of three - and said at the start of the appeal she had questions for her biological mother.
"Number one is, I would really like to say, 'Thank you for not throwing me away, thank you for giving me the gift of life, and look what I've become,'" she told the AP news agency.
But she added that she wanted to know "what made her do it? Why did she feel that she shouldn't leave me at a hospital? Was she going through a horrible time?"
She says she and her birth mum plan to have more meetings to get to know each other better.

NG radio Episode, 25
I'm going to feature both this, and the "damage" counterpart as the last (but ceartainly not least) songs on episode 25 of the newgrounds Radio podcast.
I was writing to let you know that i heard your song on a youtube video, and i was actually looking for the artist, and i ended up finding you AGAIN (seems like a lot of the music i find leads me to YOU)
very kick ass beats, and i love the high energy in the whole thing. the only thing i have to complain about (cause i HAVE to complain) is the fact that the only true melody change is about at 3:18, which is a tad late to introduce a new element. However, it still was a very good song, and is sure to pump adreniline for a long time to come!
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/8 97236/999 is the BBS topic..
http://www.newgroundsradio.com is the website you can find the episode with your song in it ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nice and dark
This is real techno, none of the jolly synth here! I really like that sound effect at 1:07, and the the drums.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I made a huge mistake and listened to the second part before this one.... this one's awesome, don't get me wrong, but the second part puts this one to shame! Great job on both!
Thanks man :D i noticed that you have reviewed many of my songs lately, altho i cant respond to them all, im really happy about it! thanks for taking the time! :D <3

BESSEMER MAYOR Butch Semmerling speaks during the City Council meeting on Monday when the council approved Angelo Luppino, Inc. to contract with the city for minor repairs to damage along U.S. 2, which was a result of this past winter's frigid temperatures
BESSEMER - The Bessemer City Council unanimously approved contractor Angelo Luppino, Inc. to complete needed repairs along U.S. 2 at its meeting Monday.
Luppino contractors will repair a patch on U.S. 2 near Beecher Street measured 13-by-12-feet, replace 11 feet of curbing and 14 feet of sidewalk. The bid submitted for the small project was $3,859.
Neal Nelson, leadman at the city's Department of Public Works, said the damage to the road was caused from this past winter's harsh temperatures, so the project could be funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Construction would have to be completed first, then FEMA would reimburse the city for the cost of the project.
Mayor Butch Semmerling said that was his interpretation of FEMA regulations..
"You have to do the work first," he said. "They're not going to give you the money to do the work."
Angelo Luppino, Inc. is a general contractor based in Ironwood and Hurley. According to the company website, the contractor has been doing business in the area for more than 45 years.
"There are only so many contractors who are certified through the DOT (Department of Transportation), and Angelo is certified through the DOT," Nelson said.
Because the project runs along U.S. 2, a federal highway, the contractor must be certified to work on the roadway.

To faculty returning to campus after the summer break, and to those who have been working diligently all summer to prepare for the return, welcome to the 2012-2013 academic year!
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication toward helping Anoka-Ramsey's students feel comfortable and successful every year.

Thank you for all that you do!
Cambridge Campus
Coon Rapids Campus
On Monday, Aug. 20, structural steel for the walkway joining the Coon Rapids Campus Music Building and the Visual Arts Center main pieces were placed.
Welcome Back Everyone!
My name is Lisa Lentner and I am a member of the Faculty Development Committee. I want to inform you about an important fun event coming up this week. Three Wednesdays out of each month are devoted to faculty development between 2 and 3 p.m. during "College Hour". This year we are changing things up a little and having two College Hours per month and one Division Enrichment Day per month.
The first College Hour is called the "New Facultea" and the purpose of it is for the current Anoka-Ramsey faculty to meet the new faculty and vice versa. We have cake and refreshments and there are planned activities to help us get to know each other and welcome our new faculty to Anoka-Ramsey. I know everyone is very busy but I strongly encourage you to attend this fun event and have a little break from the chaos of your first week. Also the Faculty Development Committee would like to give you an overview of the activities we have planned for fall semester and explain what the Division Enrichment Days are all about. And did I mention that there is FREE CAKE?
The New Facultea College Hour is this Wednesday, Aug. 29 from 2 to 3 p.m. in Room S135. Hope to see you there!

If you have not had a chance yet to meet our new Visiting Scholar from China, feel free to stop by in H212 and introduce yourself. His name is Guowei Zhuang, but he prefers to be called "Jonathon" (much easier to remember and to pronounce).
Jonathon teaches English at Zhaoqing University and also practices law part time. He would like to get to know us all better and learn and practice American language and customs. Please consider inviting him to a class and introducing him to your students if you are discussing oriental culture or practices and could bring in his first-hand knowledge!
If you have plans for Labor Day weekend, it would be nice to include Jonathon to an outdoor activity, such as the State Fair, a picnic, or a trip to one of our beautiful lakes. Or now you have more of an incentive to plan something if you had no plans yet.
Jonathon can be reached at X 1657. You can also email him at firstname.lastname@example.com . Or contact me (Ext. 1367 or email@example.com).
Thank you in advance for your help and enthusiasm. Have a great first week and semester!
Please see the attached flyer for information regarding upcoming SmarThinking webinars. Thank you.

As many of you know we kicked off Campus Connection last spring. We had over 70 volunteers who made connections with new students that semester! We would like to invite more volunteers to participate in this program. Here is some feedback we have received from volunteers:
"Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Campus Connection program!!" – R. Robatcek
"Thanks for starting this program. I think it is great" –L. Harris
"I just walked Marissa around campus and found her rooms, etc. I can see how much this will help the students." –M. Hunter
The following is more information on the program:
Many of our students are first generation and are scared to even take that first step through the door. So we are asking you to participate in this student outreach and retention program.
This is a great opportunity to welcome and offer an open door to new students that are taking this first step towards furthering their education. The connections that you will be making could make all the difference to them in their success at Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
We are looking for volunteers to make a Campus Connection with new students each semester.
Volunteer Requirements:
If you are interested in volunteering to be a Campus Connection please contact either:
Ashley Weatherspoon or Jaimie Lopez
Past volunteers: We will keep you on the list unless we hear otherwise.

The Coon Rapids Campus student guitar ensemble was selected to perform at the next Minnesota Music Educators Conference at the convention center downtown Minneapolis held Feb. 14 through 16. Our performance is schedule for Thursday, Feb. 14 likely in the afternoon, likely around 3 p.m.
The conference feature workshops on many topics in music education and performances by instrumental and vocal groups from middle schools, high schools and colleges as well as professional groups.
Our students worked very hard last year and jumped at the possibility of this opportunity. Along with the application, we submitted a recording for review by a committee of MMEA board members.
While it is challenging simply to be selected to perform and it is rare for student groups from community colleges to perform at the conference, the Minnesota Music Educators executive director also informed me that we are the first guitar ensemble to perform at this event in their long history.
The ensemble and I are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to representing Anoka-Ramsey and the Music Department.
Watch for more details as I work with the Music Department lab assistant and the Marketing and Public Relations Department to publicize this event.

A mountain bike is a good
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
A mountain bike is a good bike to start with? Really? Since when? From the way the video sounds, this is a regular on the road triathlon, not an off-road version because he talks about moving up to areal triathlon bike down the road. A mountain bike? Wow! I would recommend a low-end road bike with comfortable set and more upright position than a mountain bike....guess I better go back to reading Triathlons for Dummies.

We forget the knowledge we have as cyclists
Submitted by 303admin on
Agree, a road bike would be better but don't forget, MANY Americans haven't been on a bike since, oh, maybe age 11. I know an adult who has a hard time making left turns and I really don't believe they are the rare ones, I believe that is more common than you might think. Now at say age 30 they want to get fit and do a tri event but the thought of riding on tires a wide as their thumb is not an option for them. Riding in aero bars? Forget it! And train on main roads, even if it does have a shoulder.... suicide!

It is pretty much a guarantee that the star of the show both live and on PPV was the unveiling of the new Warcraft expansion Worlds of Draenor.
Along with all of the other games that were there to tease players into coming back to Blizzard: World of Warcraft is still the lynchpin of the Blizzard Empire.
There was so much to offer that any gold goblin had their heads spinning around and around. New mounts, New UI, Boosting one character instantly to 90 (someone wants to teach the newbie how to tank?). But the big one that got my mind a wandering was the introduction to personal housing. This will end up being the major gold sink in WOD (O great, another acronym).
All of the other information was shock and awe when it came to the new areas. With the entire group going back through the Dark Portal and traveling through time (woohoo!!!!) it will be interesting just how they counterbalance a savage land with the requirements that players have gotten used to. Remember how annoying it was to be in Shattrath and having to port to your home city just to post up auctions?
Speaking of Shattrath we get to see how it was when the Draenei were in charge. Showing videos and artist sketches gave the depth and even the sorrow of how the city became lost during the War.
Time travel is going to end up getting a lot of grumpy mcgrumpers calling for the death of World of Warcraft. Mostly because many players just like to hear themselves complain. But if they can pull off the wonderful scenery that was Mists of Pandaria and the epic storyline contained in the expansion pack the majority of players will be happy.
So keep those money engines a roaring for the next 3-4 months and start stacking away the coin. Your new housing unit is waiting for you to build it.

Passion: Christian worshippers during a procession in Jerusalem's Old City. Photo: Reuters
Rome: Pope Francis was preparing to celebrate an Easter Eve service in St Peter's Basilica on Saturday, and was due to deliver his twice yearly "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) blessing and message on Sunday.
The plight of immigrants, the poor, the sick, the elderly, unemployed and prisoners dominated his Good Friday service at Rome's Colosseum as he led Catholics around the world in commemorating the day Jesus died.
The Pope, in the run-up to the second Easter of his pontificate, presided at the traditional "Via Crucis" (Way of the Cross) service around the ancient Roman ruin.

Sitting on a chair on the Palatine Hill just opposite the Colosseum and often kneeling to pray, he listened intently as meditations inspired by the 14 "stations of the cross" were read to the crowd of thousands holding candles.
Pairs of immigrants, prisoners, homeless, elderly, women, disabled, former drug addicts and others alternated carrying a large cross between each of the stations that describe the main events in the last hours of Jesus' life.
In brief words at the end of the service, Francis urged the crowd to "remember all the abandoned people" and spoke of the "monstrosity of man" when he lets himself be guided by evil.

It was Francis' second Good Friday event. Hours earlier, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics attended a service in St Peter's Basilica, where the Vatican's official preacher said huge salaries and the world financial crisis were modern evils caused by the "cursed hunger for gold".
That long service was one of the few times during the year that the Pope listens while someone else preaches. Father Raniero Cantalamessa, whose title is "preacher of pontifical household", weaved his sermon around the character of Judas Iscariot, who the Bible says betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
"Behind every evil in our society is money, or at least in part," Father Cantalamessa said at the solemn service that included chanting by priests recounting the last hours of Jesus' life.

Francis, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, has made caring for the poor a central theme of his pontificate. He said in December that huge salaries and bonuses were symptoms of an economy based on greed and inequality.

Wine Advocate 89 Points
The estate's 2009 Vosne-Romanee is a flagship wine, as production is around 17,000 bottles, an enormity by Burgundian standards. The Vosne is made from a blend of parcels that are vinified in three cuves and then assembled into the final blend. Delicate, spiced notes lead to a harmonious core of fruit in this supple, harmonious wine. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.-AG
International Wine Cellar 90 Points
Medium red. Very ripe red fruit, chocolate and menthol aromas lifted by flowers and minerals. Supple, fruit-driven and sweet, with a smooth texture given shape by harmonious acidity. As attractive as this village wine already is, it's still tightly coiled and capable of gaining in complexity with time in bottle. Finishes ripely tannic and long.-ST
Burghound 88-90 Points
A very Vosne nose is both seductive and highly spiced as are the very suave, round and fleshy middle weight flavors that culminate in a detailed, intense and mineral-inflected finish that, despite the richness of the mid-palate, is actually linear in shape at the present. This is really quite good and worth considering.

Donovan Nets Overtime Winner
BOSTON — Chris Donovan had a few opportunities to score throughout the game, including a breakaway in the first but was unable to find the back of the net. Until it really counted. In overtime, the sophomore came streaking down the Providence College netminder Tyler Sims' right side and scored 44 seconds into overtime.
"I got a great pass from Costello, and I didn't want to butcher another breakaway during the game, so I saw the corner and just took a shot and it went in," the young forward said after the game.
"He can really skate . . . he had some great chances and I was happy in the end he was able to put that one in overtime away" coach Greg Cronin said after the game when asked about John Donovan.
As Matthews Arena began to fill with more than a half an hour before the drop of the puck, you could feel the energy for this was year three in Northeastern head coach Greg Cronin's rebuilding process. Not to be out done, Providence College head coach Tim Army was also in his third year behind the PC bench.
Sporting new black, grey, and white jerseys the Friars were missing a few of their biggest weapons. Both Tony Mazzolini and John Cavanagh were out of the lineup. The Husky veterans were completely healthy and now complimented by a fresh group of newcomers that have come in with more expectations than perhaps any previous freshmen class.
The first period was a back and forth affair without too many great opportunities for either side. Most of the play was dominated by neutral zone action with neither team getting a true advantage.
The second period started out fast with PC getting on the board first when Matt Taormina took a hard shot from the point that found its way over the shoulder of Brad Thieseen who never saw it coming in. On the goal, Jon Rheault and Ben Farrer collected assists.
Northeastern quickly rebounded, however, when less than two minutes later Ryan Ginand and Chris Donovan came in on a two-on-one. Ginand faked pass the entire time selling goalie Tyler Sims on it as well, but ended up shooting and scoring.
"[Cronin's] been saying this whole week in practice shoot the puck, shoot the puck, that's all that was going through my head." Getting an assist on the goal was freshmen Steve Silva, his first collegiate point.
One might think that the two goals would open up the play, but you'd be wrong, almost immediately after both teams shut things down once again, and very few opportunities came around. Neutral Zone play remained the name of the game.
The third period featured two more goals. Less than five minutes in, Northeastern captain Joe Vitale attempted to clear the puck out his own zone from his stomach, but when he slapped at the puck it went right to the stick of Kyle Laughlin who made no mistake by putting it in the back of the net.
Ryan Ginand netted his second goal of the game on a power play tally. Jordon Kremyr was issued a game misconduct and ejected for a five minute major for checking from behind. It took Northeastern four minutes and 49 seconds-nearly the entire power play-to score. Freshmen defensemen Drew Muench took a shot from the point and even though the initial save was made by Sims, the rebound went to Ginand who buried it. Chad Costello also collected an assist.
"He's been a gifted offensive guy, we tried to get him to play both sides of the puck, which I think he was able to do, at training camp he made a commitment, you could tell right away that he was changed." Coach Greg Cronin said after the game.
In a game of three firsts for Northeastern: first game, first home game, and first Hockey East game, for Ginand starting off fast is good:
"It's huge, we want to fight for home ice advantage. . . . It's a big victory"
"Pretty even game, happens in overtime" a subdued PC head coach Tim Army said after the game. "We did some good things, I thought we moved the puck really well, I thought we had some chances, and we did some good things."
Shots were high in the game with both teams ending the game with 32.
Northeastern netminder made 30 saves, and PC goalie Tyler Sims made 29. NU was 1-8 with the extra man, PC was 0-3.
Tomorrow Northeastern (1-0-0) takes on top ranked North Dakota at Matthews Arena; Providence (0-3-0) heads south to host Holy Cross.
When asked how long he planned on celebrating the overtime goal, "midnight" answered Chris Donovan, "then it's all [North] Dakota".

The new cards have been developed together with CoolIT Systems, are easy to install right out of the box and never need refilling or additional components. They're also factory overclocked and can run using three different speed settings � Auto, Quiet, and Maximum � to control acoustics and performance. The benefit, according to BFG, is up to 30C cooler temps under load when pitted against standard air cooled models.
You can expect to pay dearly for these cards, though. BFG�s GTX 295 H2OC currently sells for $850 on Newegg and will be joined by the GTX 285 H2O+ tomorrow at a still unknown price.
The company also announced the EX-1000 recently, a 1,000 watt modular power supply certified with the 80 PLUS Bronze rating, which indicates an efficiency of 80% or greater under real-world loads. The EX-1000 comes with a lifetime warranty, 24/7 tech support and is available now exclusively at Best Buy for $199.99.

This weekend marks the second anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. More than 1500 American troops have been killed so far. And Uncle Sam has spent billions of dollars on fighting the war and trying to stabilize Iraq. Some of that cash has been funneled to American companies. But for many companies, it's not the big payday you might think. Marketplace's Scott Tong explains...
For many Iraqis, the toppling of Saddam Hussein's government hasn't yielded the economic benefits that were promised.Water and electricity are still sporadic. Unemployment is high. But some Iraqis have figured out ways to make a profit from the U.S. invasion.Others are making just enough to squeak by.

Athy Bluegrass Festival
2011-07-15 15:00:00
Last weekend was a great weekend for Galway as they took on Cork in the Senior Hurling Championship and beat them 2-23 to 1-14. Their victory on Saturday means they are now through to the Quarter Finals and will face Waterford next weekend. After Waterford's poor performance against Tipperary on Sunday there's every chance Galway could beat them and make it through to the All-Ireland Semi Final. Unfortunately they weren't as lucky in the football though and were knocked out in the qualifiers by Meath. However, my adopted county Kildare did make it through to the next round after their win over Laois on Saturday so hopefully they'll get revenge for Galway and beat Meath in their game this weekend!
It was a busy weekend for festivals in Kildare with Oxygen taking place in Punchestown and the annual Blue Grass Festival in Athy. The Athy festival may not attract the same large crowds as Oxygen but there was still a great turn out. This year's 21st annual festival was sponsored by the Carlton Abbey Hotel and most of the concerts took place there. I didn't make it down to the festival this year but from what I've heard the whole weekend was a great success.
This week Limerick announced there bid to host the Rugby League World Cup in 2013 which will hopefully be successful. I think it's a great idea to campaign for this as Thomond Park would be the ideal venue to host it and it would be a great boost for the tourism in Limerick and for Irish Rugby. Our Limerick hotel, the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel, are fully behind the campaign and on their behalf I'd encourage everyone to show their support for Limerick!
Hopefully the weather we've had the past few days will continue for the weekend but if not I've plenty of GAA games to watch to keep me busy!

Duty-Free Apparel Imports from the Philippines Goal of New Senate Bill
Sens. Daniel Inouye, Daniel Akaka, Roy Blunt and Harry Reid have introduced legislation that would allow duty-free imports of apparel manufactured in the Philippines with U.S. fabrics. According to a joint press release,the Save Our Industries Act is patterned after DR-CAFTA, which permits duty-free imports of apparel assembled in signatory countries in return for using cotton and manmade fiber fabrics still made in the U.S.
By providing U.S. textile companies a new opportunity to export fabrics into the Asia-Pacific market, the press release said, the bill "has the potential to create upwards of 2,000 jobs in the U.S. fabric mill sector while spurring an incentivized export market for the U.S. textile industry."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has concluded that the bill can be administered and enforced, and the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry has reviewed and agreed to all customs enforcement provisions.

Just take a little eensie weensie peek at her singlehandedly murdering it at the Spotify Sessions during this year's SXSW Festival and be rendered speechless – a one woman maestro. And could she be any more adorable? Do they make pocket size versions of her? Please?
Wonderfully shot video, too – really great capture of the mood at the awesome Spotify House (which we had the pleasure of visiting)!

Geonosis planetary security
how terrible is geonosian planetary security, or even detection when an entire Republic battle group, a hundred Jedi, and landing craft just show up in the middle of a "sporting" event?
It is inferred that the Jedi were able to secretly land on the planet, and that the outlying Confederate forces that would have detected the Republic fleet were destroyed before they could warn the rest of the planet of their approach.
If we are willing to accept the legitimacy of EU sources, it is detailed in the Clone Wars game (released years ago, no relation to the current TV series) how advance Jedi forces landed clandestinely ahead of the Republic fleet (since Yoda left for Kamino and Windu's Jedi for Geonosis simultaneously) and destroyed a few small outposts and such on the way to the arena.
i'm just saying, on geonosis, a planet full of goenosians and droids, how did no one notice a bunch of Jedi, of drastically varying species in the stadium.
I wonder if the Republic Commandos had anything to do with the removal of outposts throughout Geonosis? That would be a book i'd read.
They were all probably using invisibility cloaks.
Also, we don't know if there weren't any other non-Geonosian species on the planet, such as in markets and towns.
possibly, but from what Attack Of The Clones showed, it looked like the vast majoirty in attendance were geonosians.
Another thing, how did Dooku not sense that many powerful force users in one place, right below him. And Mace Windu right behind him?
If you're going to rip apart AotC like that, you're going to find a bazillion other mistakes, inconsistencies and plot holes, smoothie. :p
Geonosians don't seem particularly strong willed. It doesn't seem as if 200 Jedi would have much trouble getting past them.
it just happens to be one of those things that i noticed, and is inside my little brain for today

New Year, New You
Everyone says it, year after year. The glut of holiday eating, drinking and spending finally catches up with us and we have to cry 'Uncle!'. This coincides, perfectly, with the impending New Year- a new beginning, renewed hope for change and betterment. I will ride my bike to work. I will not eat the kids leftovers. I will not charge what I cannot afford. What is that saying about good intentions? That they never last? You will hit the gym like clockwork for a week and then you'll find yourself too busy (and somewhat relieved) to make it there everyday. And then not go again until spring. There is an important interview/date/occasion coming up and even though you've vowed to fight credit card debt this year, obviously you need something new and fabulous to wear. Like I said, everyone does it. Our decision is to aim lower for 2012. In general, take better care of yourselves. If you don't go to the gym everyday, that's o.k. Just look good while you're doing it. A random splurge is fine, just don't max your Amex out. Monthly spa treatments might not pan out, but at least wash your face every night. Little steps make big changes, we hear, and if nothing else these little motivators will make you feel better about yourself in 2012 than you ever have.

At 36, skier Bode Miller is competing in his fifth Olympics. Determined to prove his ageless agility, Body decided to lighten up by losing 20 pounds with a low carb diet. Result: He posted the fastest time in the inaugural training run, reported the Washington Post on Feb. 7.
"I definitely know that winning a training run doesn't matter much. I've done that so many times," reflected Miller. "I think I have a good process for how to build into a race."
Based on his experience and analysis of the challenges in the 2014 Winter Olympics, Miller decided that shedding pounds would benefit his results.
"Bode's a master at it," U.S. veteran Steven Nyman said. "He's kind of dialed everything in. He knows how to figure stuff out."
But Miller is defying conventional wisdom by cutting carbohydrates and weight, reported the Wall Street Journal recently.
"He's almost skinny," worried Mike Kenney, Miller's uncle and main coach since childhood. "You want to be big. You want to be over-muscled."
But Miller disagrees, contending that his lighter weight makes him faster and more agile, thus boosting his chances of earning a coveted medal.
"We're not going in a straight line," he said.
If we were just speed skiing then definitely being heavier would certainly help but you are changing direction the whole way down, and in Sochi fitness is going to be a huge component.
My biggest strength has been my athleticism and my ability to adapt and make recoveries and if I want to come back and race at the top, top level that I am capable of I think I have to capitalize on my biggest strengths.
As far as cutting carbohydrates in sports, more athletes as well as experts are agreeing with Miller's view that more protein and fat rather than carbs can produce success.
Physician-scientist Steve Phinney and professor Jeff Volek have collaborated on a wide range of studies and research comparing high fat, low carb diets to the traditional high carb diets typically recommended for athletes.
