After determining if any of the above symptoms and problems are present, the next step is to determine if visual cracking is present. If yes, then determine if cracking is caused by plastic shrinkage. If this is the cause, then poor finishing and/or curing is possibly responsible and the depth of carbonation should be measured. If carbonation is at depths greater than 5 to 10 millimeters, then a high water-cement ratio could possibly be responsible. If the carbonation does not go down to these depths, then the paste/air and aggregates should be examined.

Carl D. Davis filed the lawsuit in Alabama this week. He claims he paid T.I.'s agents more than $50,000 to appear at the May concert, but the performer was a no-show.
Davis says he suffered chest pains, nausea, emotional distress and hospitalization after T.I, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., didn't show.
T.I. was also scheduled to headline Mobile's BayFest in October, but was replaced with Nelly after T.I.'s September drug arrest.
A judge in Atlanta last week ordered the Grammy-winning rap artist back to prison for 11 months for violating his supervised release on federal weapons charges.
An attorney who has represented T.I. in the past didn't immediately return a telephone message.

IWAP: From Motives to Message
Theories of political participation answer the question "Who participates in politics?" but are strangely silent on an equally important question: "What do they say?" This paper investigates the dynamics of activist speech using evidence from a representative panel of nearly 8,000,000 posts from some 6,000 political blogs. Drawing on the full-text content of these posts and an accompanying survey of the bloggers wrote wrote them, we find that that differences in bloggers' motivations have a direct impact on the topics, tone, and timing of their blog posts. These "motivations" include both personal characteristics (e.g. partisanship, political knowledge, ideological extremism) and institutional considerations (e.g. reliance on advertising revenue, network position). We also find evidence against "online exceptionalism," strongly suggesting that lessons learned about online activists can usually be applied to offline activists as well. These findings and methods have implications for theories in many fields related to political communication, especially public opinion, participation, media, campaigns and elections, civil society, and representation.

Women's Tennis Pushes No. 2 Alabama Before 4-2 Defeat in NCAA Second Round
Princeton's women's tennis team had Alabama, the No. 2-ranked team in the nation, down to two third sets for a bid to the NCAA Round of 16.
That's impressive for most any team, let alone one that wasn't in the ITA's weekly top 75 in early April. But there Princeton was in its eventual 4-2 defeat to the Crimson Tide on Alabama's home court, less than two months out from being 8-5 on a season that hadn't yet included any take-notice type of victories.
Since mid-March, however, the Tigers provided plenty of them. After starting 0-4 against ITA-ranked teams, the Tigers won four straight such matches and put a great effort toward a fifth Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa. Just a day after battling No. 25 Arizona State for five hours on the way to the program's first-ever NCAA tournament match win, Princeton had to return and face an Alabama team that didn't have much trouble advancing past Jackson State in the first round last night.
Alabama didn't have much trouble with the doubles point against Princeton either, giving up just three total games in the two matches that were played to completion. As they did yesterday, though, the Tigers shrugged off having to come from behind and focused on the singles matches.
A point for Alabama fell on court six, putting Princeton down 2-0. Then, Lindsay Graff won her 11th straight match, beting an ITA-ranked opponent for the third straight contest in knocking off 65th-ranked Mary Anne Daines 6-4, 6-2. Alanna Wolff, who provided Friday's clincher, didn't need a third set to beat 93rd-ranked Danielle Spielmann 6-4, 6-3. Wolff, who will play in the NCAA singles tournament beginning May 21, ends the team portion of her season on a seven-match winning streak with back-to-back wins over ITA-ranked opponents.
That put Princeton even with No. 2 Alabama at 2-2, and the prospect of a bracket-shattering upset became all the more possible. Princeton had third sets on court three with Amanda Muliawan and court five with Dorothy Tang, and wins there would send Princeton to Georgia for the Round of 16. No Ivy League team since Harvard in 2005 had advanced that far.
Though the sophomore Muliawan and the freshman Tang battled, Alabama ended up just a couple games better. Tang's opponent, Emily Zabor, completed a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 win to clinch the match, while Muliawan's match was suspended at 6-1, 3-6, 3-2 in favor of Alabama's Erin Routliffe, ranked No. 77 in the nation and the SEC Co-Freshman of the Year, once the overall match was clinched.
The loss ended Princeton's postseason run, but it puts a cap on an outstanding season. At 19-6, Princeton reached the NCAA second round with its longest winning streak, at 11 matches, since 2000. The 19 wins were the second-most in program history, behind only the 20-6 record the 2010 team posted the last time Princeton made the NCAA team tournament.
The future looks promising too, with Princeton able to return every player who competed Saturday.
With the hurdle of the first-ever NCAA tournament match win now surpassed, the next step, the one that came so close to happening this time, will still be out there next time.

An anklet, ankle chain, or ankle bracelet is an ornament worn around the ankle. Barefoot anklets and toe rings historically have been worn for centuries by married women in India, though in the United States both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are popular among barefoot women. Formal anklets (silver, gold and beads) are common women's fashion jewelry. In India anklets are the most common sort of jewelry worn by most middle-class and lower-sections of society. Anklets are an important jewelery in Indian marriages and are worn along with saris.
Much more rarely, the ankle chains are joined by a stretch of chain to limit the step. This practice was once more prevalent in the Middle East, where the effect was to give a 'feminine' short tripping step. Today a few western women follow this practice, but rarely in public. A very few people even have 'permanent', e.g. soldered-on, ankle chains, and more rarely still, so is the connecting chain.
Bronze anklets are visible as early as the Bronze Age in temperate Europe, in an area roughly along the Danube, in the Alpine foreland, up the Rhine to the Atlantic, and also down the Rhône (Sherratt, 2001). These were found among hoards in these areas, along with other bronze items characteristic of this time (c. 1800 BCE onwards), and are attributable to the Tumulus culture that spread across this region.
As an Ornament
Anklet bracelets can be made of silver, gold and other less precious metals as well as leather, plastic, nylon and other such materials. In the western world anklets or ankle chains are mainly worn by younger females, but some older women also wear them to accentuate their legs.
Metal anklets are of two types - flexible and inflexible. The flexible ones; often called paayal, pajeb or jhanjhar in India, are made by tying links in a chain. Subsequently, sonorous bells can be attached to the chain so that the wearer can make pleasing sounds while walking. Inflexible ones are usually created by giving shape to a flat metal sheet.
Left or Right?
In India; anklets are worn on both feet. However, outside India most anklets seem to be worn on the right ankle. Perhaps this is due to more people being right-handed. Although in eastern cultures anklets are worn on both ankles. Either ankle may indicate a "hotwife" or cuckold's wife, though this is not universal by any means.

DATA A DAY: Legislators and
their 'freedom of expression'
MEDIA GROUPS have complained about increasing government restrictions on Freedom of Expression even as the government itself goes slow on the passage of a Freedom of Information Act.
Recently, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the cyberlibel provision of the Cybercrime Prevention Act, thereby expanding the coverage of the country's libel laws into cyberspace.
However, Congress has its own set of rules when it comes to how its members express themselves. No mere mortals, legislators are given special privileges when they speak while Congress is in session.
For today's Data a Day:
TRUE OR FALSE: The use of offensive or improper language by legislators in speeches or debates in Congress or its committees is legally actionable.
For the answer to that question, visit the PCIJ's Data a Day website, or go directly to our MoneyPolitics Online database for other relevant pieces of information.

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle exposes the antagonistic world of capitalism, and especially as it is seen through the experiences of immigrant workers.
The novel, set in the heart of the city of Chicago, tells about immigrants from Lithuania looking for what every immigrant is looking for: The Great American Dream. The main characters Jurgis Rudkus and Ona Lukoszaite struggle to get jobs and make a living for themselves, which are under harsh conditions as they learn that great American dream does not mean showing up and living like royalty.
In the beginning of the novel Jurgis and Ona first come to Chicago accompanied by many family members in celebration of their wedding and are holding a feast in part of the city known as "Packingtown." Packington was the immigration center for people like them, but little did they know what living and working there would actually entail. Jurgis and Ona are hit with their first culture shock at their own wedding feast. In Lithuanian culture, it is custom for wedding guests to leave money for the couple to help over the cost of renting space for the party. The guests, however, as poor as ever do not do this and leave the couple in debt to the bar owner. Despite this Jurgis develops some hope and optimism and declares that he will work hard to gain this money.
Jurgis as well as various other family members find work, especially after they realize how much housing in even the poorest location and home would cost them. The work is physically demanding with very little safety or security for the workers. Throughout their struggles to earn what very little wage they receive they continue with poverty, illness,isolation and debt.
The Jungle centers on the theme of the "American Dream" that was and continues to be the belief of immigrants. The characters in the novel are brain-fed the notion that coming to America would solve all of their problems and they could live successfully and harmoniously through hard work. The way they are presented the "American Dream" concept is like they are being promised they will have better and not to mention easier lives. What Sinclair does is expose the truth of the situation through the experiences of the immigrants as they learn everything the hard and not to mention the unpleasant way that it was not how they thought it would be.
Sinclair's naming of the novel The Jungle was a symbol to Packingtown and its residents referring to Social Darwinism and the abuse of capitalism, where everyone fought for survival and became various forms of prey for the various forms of predators. The characters not only are burdened with the physical demand to survive but also a mental and emotional one. It becomes more than just making a better living in America, it has turned into just living where the most important and hardest thing to keep up is morale.

Eastern Pennsylvania had a baby, and they called it Brother JT, a.k.a. John Terlesky, former chief architect of the esteemed garage-party punks Original Sins and now a longtime solo standout headily hodgepodging the supremest sounds of our bleedin' times. When one slaps JT's new platter down to savor all of its glammy, greasy goodness, one is immediately struck by the rightness of this cornucopic record's name: The Svelteness of Boogietude.
"Yeah!" JT enthuses. "I mean, there's good in all kinds of music, and you want to have a full bag of tricks. It's all coming from what I hear -- taking it out of its normal habitat and putting it somewhere a little offbeat."
There's some prime old-school songcraft in Brother JT's meltdown mélanges of funk, arena rock, electro-disco, proggy jazz and sphincter-clenching power balladry. Check out the hard- thumping '70s blast of opener "Celebrate Your Face" or the self-explanatory "T. Rex Blues," the electro-country-tinged "Things I Like," the hair-tossing psych scorch of "Many Man Smoke" or the ruminative "I Still Like Cassettes" ("You gotta fast-forward or rewind").
Brother JT is, by nature, a psychedelic kind of guy, though you wouldn't call his music "psych" as such. Far from it: He's actually a bit of a pop artist -- with a twist.
"I love psychedelics, and I love psychedelic music," JT says. "But when I'm sitting down to write, I'm trying to think about anybody, not just somebody who's under the influence."
You'll want to have a clear head when you peruse Brother JT's devilishly dense books of automatic writing, parts of which were included in his last two CDs (and can be viewed on his Tumblr page). But you can always catch a buzz for his highly amusing online talk show, "Trippin' Balls," wherein Bro JT and musical guests shoot the breeze about pop culture, zombies, time travel and other world events, usually while the host is frying himself to the max on LSD (the episodes are easily found on YouTube.)
When it comes to cannabis, soon as I got to the practice space, I knew I was in a world of trouble," he laughs. "We were learning these new songs, and I was remembering the chords and the words, but my vision was severely impaired and I was just freaking out. But a kind of muscle memory of the songs came through in the end."
He figures you need to know exactly how much and what strain of pot you're eating -- and if the combination's just right, the creative sparks might fly.
"The first time I tried this a few months ago, I assume that what I had was sativa-based, because the first thing I wanted to do was write a song. I don't know how much that would happen with this stuff I've got now, because it's a much mellower kind of thing.
"But still," Brother JT concludes, "you get funny ideas you wouldn't get on acid/"
Auto Lysergic Verse:
"I wanted to write lyrics in spontaneous ways, so I tried automatic writing in an altered nature. The results were shocking. When using LSD, mushrooms or pot on automatic writing, it flows out of you, and you don't have to think about what you're doing."

More companies embrace social media every day, building better websites and trying to figure out a substantial mobile strategy to integrate with their business model. It's becoming clear that companies are beginning to realize the power and importance of digital media in relation to telling a believable brand story.
However, companies can try as they wish to get better at creating content or trying to engage with consumers on Facebook,Twitter or Pinterest, but if – at the end of the day – it's just marketing blah and not truly relevant, all is lost… including the marketing investment, time and resources. Because digital media is open to all, this strategy backfires. Great design is clearly not enough and trying to use social media to put lipstick on the proverbial pig, means you are trying to design and market your way out of a flawed business model.
What must businesses ask themselves? They need to ask the same questions that keep the rest of us up at night.
- What are we doing?

Digital media marketing has forced businesses to change. This is old news, but what's intriguing is that we're seeing two, distinct breeds of business focus being born – Product centred and customer centred.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, you can't have one without the other moving forward. As essential as product centred businesses are, so too are customer centred businesses, and this is where our business world could, possibly, get very exciting: when the best of companies become the perfect balance of both.
We've already started to see some emerging signs of this (like AnswerFirst, they now offer customer support via social media), where a hybrid of product focused organizations have an equally compelling customer focused drive as well – be it driven top-down by the corporation or enhanced via peer to peer engagement.
It seems to make perfect sense, but we have to remember that social media isn't just about companies being able to talk to customers and provide platforms that serve customer service as the prime driver. The digital platform and channels have enhanced how we feel about companies and how companies can express (or react) to that in much more powerful and profound ways. It has switched from a traditional "old school", linear, approach to a much more circular one.
Is your business more product focused or customer focused? What are you going to do to bridge the gap? And yes, in this day and age, that is the ultimate goal, it can't be by leveraging marketing as lipstick coating to the business.

A female Yorkie/Maltese mix was lost in December, and a Facebook page has been set up to help bring her home.
Muffie went missing on December 18, 2013, in the Hickory, North Carolina area. Her owner, Holly Presley is devastated between being worried about her well-being, and events taking place at home.
The little dog was last seen in early February on 3rd Street Southeast, then a few days later on 10the Avenue Southeast by some children. A woman in a white convertible with white hair said the dog belonged to her. No other sightings have been made since that time.
Muffie has been with Holly since the day the sweet little dog was born. Until your life has been touched by a dog who goes missing, it's hard to imagine the pain that comes with not knowing.
Holly spends much of her day looking at hundreds of dogs on dozens of websites. I messaged Holly, and she credits Debbie Pilkington Miller, who has a Facebook page called A Voice For Those Who Have No Voice, as helping a lot with the search.
Unfortunately, Muffir is still missing, and this article is just one more way to use social media to find a missing dog. One good thing is Muffie is microchipped
Holly has had to grieve not only her dogs disappearance, but also the death of Muffie's father. "Shelby" Passed away on March 9th, never knowing if Muffie was safe. Muffie's half sister grieves a lot, and can't seem to come out of her shell and move forward.
It was due to even more turmoil that Muffie escaped in the first place. The family had some bad damage done to their house last July that insurance refused to cover. NC Baptist Men Disaster Relief and Knights of Columbus came in and saved the day for them, repairing the damage.
It was during this repair that their back yard fence was compromised, allowing Muffie to escape. Holly is concerned because Muffie was always the type dog to stay near the house, with or without a fence.
Please share Muffie's story with friends, especially those in the Hickory area. Also keep in mind Muffie could be anywhere, as many who steal dogs take them to other areas, where they are offered for sale on Craigslist.
If you've seen Muffie, or can offer any information, Holly can be contacted at 828-270-5737 or 828-855-1350, or via Facebook.

Last week I was served with a lawsuit for canoeing through private property in the wilds of the Adirondacks. The case could settle a longstanding dispute over navigation rights in New York State.
I made the canoe trip in May 2009 for a story about navigation rights that was published in the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine that summer. Click here to read the story.
The disputed waters—Mud Pond, Mud Pond Outlet, and Shingle Shanty Brook—connect two pieces of public land in the Whitney Wilderness. I believe the common-law right of navigation allows the public to paddle this route. The landowners—the Friends of Thayer Lake and the Brandreth Park Association—contend that I was trespassing.
In the lawsuit, the landowners are asking the court to rule that the waterways are not open to the public.
In September, the state Department of Environmental Conservation wrote the attorney for the landowners to say that the waterways are indeed open to the public. DEC has asked the state attorney general to intervene in the lawsuit. Click here to read a story about DEC's position.
The landowners contend that a navigable waterway is open to the public only if it has a history of commercial use. They say the waterways in question lack such a history.
Since the lawsuit, the Associated Press and several newspapers have written about the case. Click here to read the AP story.
Phil Brown is editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine.

Boy Who Had Nipples Ripped Off Went 4 Days Without Treatment, Report Says
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 2:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 2:33 p.m.
NEW PORT RICHEY | A 2-year-old boy who had his nipples ripped off didn't get medical treatment for at least four days, authorities said.
Tina Renea Kline, 25, told investigators that her boyfriend — Thomas Matheson, 28, — told her on Nov. 16 he injured the boy, a Pasco sheriff's report states. But Kline and Matheson never took the child for medical treatment or reported the injuries, authorities said.
The child's grandparents reported the abuse on Nov. 20 and the toddler was taken to Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, where doctors said the skin was unlikely to grow back, the report states.
The relationship of Kline and Matheson to the child was not disclosed by authorities.
Matheson was arrested Nov. 20 and charged with child abuse. He told investigators the injuries happened when he was "playing rough" with the boy. Kline was arrested Tuesday and charged with child neglect causing permanent disfigurement.
Matheson and Kline, both of 7280 Broadmoore Drive in New Port Richey, are being held at the Pasco jail. Both declined interview requests Wednesday.

Why the 4%+ drop today? 1/25/12 No headlines . . . .
Agree about the GP incentive although it will take some time. I think you must be basing your calculation on the highest IDR level which will be some years off.In the meantime the annual distribution will be $1.90 which is still a 10% yield at current price.
I see it as a buying opportunity. I picked some up at 18.06, then 5 minutes later $17.96. The company just came public, they declared a $1.90 dividend and there is no negative news. The $1.90 dividend now yields close to 11%.
Wrong....No $1.90 distribution declared. The correct amount just reported is $.2323 cents payable Feb. 14th Your going to wait for the rest of the year for the whole $1.90

If it bothers you that her character died two F&F's back, wait till the arty fall movies start. Summer is not for you.

Last night on "Hell's Kitchen" the five remaining chefs were met by chef Ramsay and informed that every great chef must turn out great dishes regardless of ingredients available. And the challenge was to make a fascinating entree with leftovers; the winner will be feature on "Better Homes and Garden".
First chef to present a dish was Scott and he received high marks from the food editor of "Better Homes and Garden" Laurie Beckle and chef Ramsay, up next Joy, who perhaps thought she could win the challenge by kissing up to the editor and stating that she reads the magazine herself, but no she received some criticism, then Jason's dish did not make a favorable impression as far as presentation and taste did not help him much either. Then it was Rochelle who did not receive a good review, and then it was Melanie, who from the get go received praise for a beautiful presentation and was commended on taste, the winner of the challenge was chosen and ultimately Scott scored the win.
The reward was flying on a firefighter jet and Scott could take someone else and he chose Jason, so the ladies spent the afternoon cleaning and carving pumpkins, that is until Rochelle sliced her finger and had to seek medical attention, she made it back just in time for dinner service. Chef Ramsay expected a flawless performance and announced that a special guest would be dinning, and that was superhero creator Stan Lee. Melanie faltered for a while, but finally found her groove, then it was Joy on the fish who began to crumble and allowed her temper to get the best of her and rather than listen to chef Ramsay and keep her mouth shut, turned around and said "I am done" and walked out, something that was a surprise to everyone and she herself realized afterwards she had made a grave mistake that she would regret her entire life. Joy was a front-runner; winner of many challenges, received much praise, and while being so close to the end, allows a moment of despair cloud her judgment and commit such a horrendous mistake.
Chef Ramsay announced that the remaining four chefs are dead even and tonight no one else went home, but announced that next week the field will be cut in half, and afterwards expressed his astonishment at Joy's reaction something he had never seen in "Hell's Kitchen" before. Recaps and episodes can be watched online at www.fox.com/hellskitchen
"Hell's Kitchen" runs on Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

The Facebook shop comes equipped with functionality, the customization tools to differentiate you from the competition. The key is to use as much as possible the customizations in order to attract your targeted consumer. Furthermore, the analytics is also provided to gain valuable insight on the shoppers online.
"What are we working on right now is actually a very very cool new capability. I cannot say much about it but what I can say is that we going to provide these merchants to not only maximize their organic reach, but to leverage the data they are generating to increase their sales," asserted Lehyani.

Extremely powerful painkiller on the market despite concerns
Published: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 2:29 p.m.
A controversial new drug is on the market, but some health care providers won't prescribe it.
Zohydro ER, an extended release hydrocodone capsule, was approved in October by the FDA even though the FDA's own advisory board voted 11-2 against approval.
"That's a little confusing for those of us that work with patients and try to minimize drug-abuse potential," said Kim Thrasher, a pharmacist and member of the New Hanover County Board of Health.
The drug became available earlier this month "at selected pharmacies," according to the manufacturer, Zogenix.
The drug, in its purest form, contains five to 10 times as much hydrocodone as Vicodin. Unlike Vicodin, Zohydro contains no acetaminophen.
Some health board members are concerned that it could be deadly.
The potential for abuse is alarming, said Robert Schiffel, a member of the board of health. Critics have said that a single pill could kill a child.
"I'm worried about it getting into the hands of children," Schiffel said. "A big concern some doctors have is that could end up in pill mills in Georgia and Florida."
Besides its purity, the other chief complaint about Zohydro is that it can easily be crushed so that it can be snorted or injected.
North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper was one of 28 attorneys general who signed a letter asking the FDA to reconsider Zohydro's approval.
"Prescription drug abuse is an epidemic in North Carolina, with around 1,000 overdose deaths in our state each year, and I'm concerned that adding another powerful painkiller that can be easily abused will only make the problem worse," Cooper said in a statement.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center does not carry Zohydro. Neither does the Fayetteville VA hospital nor its Wilmington health care center. A Walgreen's spokesman said the drug is available at two of the seven Wilmington locations, and that the prescription must be submitted in person. A CVS spokesman wouldn't say whether the company's Wilmington pharmacies stock the drug, but he did say that a prescription could not likely be filled in the same day it is presented.
Cooper's office encouraged doctors to make use of North Carolina's prescription drug monitoring program, which is designed to keep individuals from getting duplicate prescriptions from multiple doctors.
On Wednesday, Bloomberg News reported that Purdue Pharma LP plans to apply for approval of a competitor to Zohydro. The primary difference between the pills would be that Purdue's drug would be harder to crush, and therefore, harder to abuse.

I can verify that the SYSWOW64 folder is present. Attempts to run the command line /enable-feature nets: error 0x800f080c feature name servercore-wow64 is unknown.
Now I can see the folder, I can verify it's there, but I can't seem to kick it off. I try the /get-features command, but it doesn't list wow64, or any wow for that matter anywhere in the features. Is there a different command?
I found KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977787 where it mentions a manifest issue, but the hotfix is not listed for download. I don't know if that's my issue as well, but perhaps?
Just to cover the basics, this is for a fax server. I have attempted the 32 bit install from the MFG disk(failed), and I have downloaded drivers from their website. When I go to the fax that's installed as 64bit, there's the normal button for "install additional drivers". When I hit it, it asks for the location of the x86 drivers. I point it to the mfg 32 bit drivers, and get a "invalid for processor architecture" error. From there I tried to run WOW64, but as you can read above, it's not listed as a feature, and errors when I try and install it.
The machines that I'm working with are XP pro, and this server 2008r2 Standard. Some suggestions have been to have a 32 bit Vista machine on the domain, install the drivers on it and point the "additional driver" request to it, but I don't have one on the domain. I could most likely scrounge up a 32 bit Win 7 to install the drivers on and point it to that machine, but it can't stay on the domain, as it would be my personal computer. Any suggestions?

College Hockey:St. Cloud State downs Minnesota State, takes third at North Star College Cup
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Saturday's game between St. Cloud State and Minnesota State was truly a tale of two halves.
The Huskies defeated the Mavericks 6-4 in the North Star College Cup's third-place game at the Xcel Energy Center.
"It was not a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination," St. Cloud coach Bob Motzko said.
Throughout the game's first 30 minutes, the Mavericks were disciplined and held a 2-1 lead. In the second half of the second period, the wheels fell off. St. Cloud scored four goals in the second and held a 5-2 lead going into the third, despite being outshot 22-17.
The Huskies posted three power-play goals and had two goals reviewed and upheld. Minnesota State went 1-for-3 with the extra man and had one goal reviewed and denied.
"We got some things going tonight on our power play," Motzko said, adding that their power play had been feast of famine since Christmas, either scoring multiple goals or getting shutout.
Minnesota State head coach Mike Hastings focused less on the goals that were reviewed and more on the way his team's defense and penalty kill was in the game.
Bryce Gervais gave the Mavericks a 2-1 lead at the two-minute mark of the second, but that lead would only last about seven minutes.
Cory Thorson, Nic Dowd, Johnny Brodzinski and David Morley scored the next four goals for SCSU.
"That kind of sums up how our guys had a business approach during the game," Motzko said. "When we got going, our top players and leading scorers found ways to make plays."
MSU starting goaltender Stephon Williams was pulled after giving up five goals on 15 shots in 36 minutes of work. He was replaced by Cole Huggins, who gave up one goal and had nine saves.
Jean Paul LaFontaine got the Mavericks on the board first on a two-on-one opportunity when he slid the puck past Ryan Faragher when he left the post in anticipation of the pass. LaFontaine said after the game that he tried to get the pass off, but fanned on it.
Brodzinski tied things up for St. Cloud after Teddy Blueger turned the puck over in the Mavericks' zone, which created an odd-man rush for the Huskies. Brodzinski buried a back pass from Ryan Papa.
Brodzinski had three goals this weekend.
"It's just getting pucks to the net," he said. "If you get pucks to the net, some of them are going to go in."
Johnny McInnis cut St. Cloud's lead to two early in the third period, but Kalle Kossila responded with another power-play goal minutes later.
"I'm happy with how our team played," Motzko said. "We came out a better team than we were going in."
LaFontaine scored his second of the game with about 10 minutes remaining in the game and the Mavericks had their chances in the third, but a comeback wasn't in the cards.

Politics & Media Mashup
My veterinarian asked me yesterday who I like in the mayor's race. I turned the question around and asked her who she and her husband like.
They are registered Democrats. They're not extremists but they are among the people who feel disillusioned by President Obama and his moderate positions, compromises and move to the middle.
"Filner can't excite anyone," she told me. "He doesn't have any energy, any new ideas."
I nodded in agreement and used a similar line yesterday afternoon on the radio with KOGO's LaDona Harvey.
Politics & Media Mashup leads off with a look at some of the more interesting stories of the week and wraps up with links to some of the best stories about politics and media at the local, state and national levels.
This blog post on San Diego Rostra about a new San Diego Mayor 2012 poll garnered a lot of interest this week. The U-T's Tom Blair picked it up and so did the Nathan Fletcher campaign.
The poll shows Bob Filner and Carl DeMaio in a virtual tie for the lead in the race to become San Diego's next mayor followed by Nathan Fletcher, who linked to the note in Blair's column on his Facebook page:
Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave after SDCTA Breakfast Forum
Five people who have a lot to do with the news you read, hear and see on a daily basis in San Diego got up early to talk about the role of news media organizations as advocates. What they had to say may surprise you… especially if you're still living in the era of Walter Cronkite.
The San Diego County Taxpayers Association hosted the panel in the first of its Breakfast Club Forums for 2012. Participants included Mike McKinnon, station manager of KUSI TV; J.W. August, managing editor for KGTV; Scott Lewis, CEO of Voice of San Diego; Jeff Light, editor in chief, U-T San Diego; and Deanna Mackey, station manager, KPBS FM/TV. The assignment moderating this forum was mine.
Politics & Media Mashup: your weekend news aggregator leads off with "The 10 Most Tweeted San Diego Rostra Posts in 2011" and includes stories and editorials from across the country about the death of redevelopment in California. Also included: pieces on local, state and national politics as well as social media.
You can hear Tony Manolatos talk politics and media with KOGO's LaDona Harvey every Friday at 3:50 p.m. on AM 600 and FM 95.7.
These are not easy times for the people who remain at The San Diego Union-Tribune.
They know as much as we do about the newspaper's new ownership, hotelier Doug Manchester and former local radio executive John Lynch, and their plans for a product that is a shell of what it used to be.
The smart money says Manchester is interested in the land more than the paper. He develops hotels – nice ones – and the paper sits in hotel happy Mission Valley just off Hotel Circle.
One of the great things about San Diego Rostra is its ability to attract a variety of voices with different political views.
Rostra is a center-right site, but local journalists and some well-known Democrats are regular readers and commentators. With monthly hits by unique visitors as high as 20,000, Rostra has become a must read for numerous San Diegans.
Where else can you find a site that blends colorful personalities like Mighty Thor and Thor's Assistant with political stalwarts like Darrell Issa, Brian Bilbray, Nathan Fletcher, Carl DeMaio and Bonnie Dumanis?
As blog content naturally drops off during the weekend on an all-volunteer site like SD Rostra, we bring you the following political news and blog links as a "portal" for your ease of use during those droughts. If you'd like a link added, please let us know at email@example.com.

The 2012 San Diego mayor's race began like other love affairs – lots of hope and promise for the future. Then, the sparkle and shine of courtship faded quickly into the same old dull routine.
No more flowers. No more moonlight and love songs.
Seems I'm not the only one who noticed our romance is fading.
Even the candidates can't muster the enthusiasm. Both Councilman Carl DeMaio and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis skipped a second, high-profile debate last week and the fall out has been notable.
Greetings Rostrafarians! Four seasons and three events later, and our socialist (and reporter, same thing?) friends still wanna hang with us over beers, bites and political banter.
The last event in the summer drew a nearly unmanageable crowd of about 100 – bringing out the likes of the Gonzalez siblings, San Diego CityBeat hipsters and our liberal blog counterparts at Two Cathedrals.
We should be slightly more subdued and relaxed for our fall gathering this Thursday at the South Park Abbey, 1946 Fern Street. Join us there at 5:30 p.m. to review the latest and greatest – from rumored Comprehensive Pension Reform signature counts to the new kid on the city ballot – the Project Labor Agreement ban.
Politics is sometimes known for its pungent smell. (Rostrafarian wits, I expect great things from the Comments section with this opening line).
For 16 years, April showers have brought much more than May flowers to San Diego – they bring the San Diego County Taxpayers Association Golden Fleece Awards. Yes, there are Golden Watchdogs and Media Watchdog Awards too. But seriously, all we really care about is who gets called out every year for their less than smooth moves with taxpayer dollars and public programs.
Honestly, I was there last time and I can't say I remember the punch line to that joke.
But I can report this, Rostrafarians, it was fun. Big fun!
If you know what's good for you, and I think you do, you'll join us this week for the second tweet-up with our good frienemies over at that "other" local political blog, Two Cathedrals.
There will be lots of off-the-record fun, trash-talkin,' and political swagger with a great group of likewise politically-aware folks up for a good time.
Since August of 2009, when SD Rostra launched, the site has been blessed with over 1,700 individual blog entries from our more than 50 contributors, covering a host of issues, opinions, rumors and breaking political news stories. At this writing, exactly 4,976 comments have been posted as a result … and that's just the legit ones, mind you.
We don't pretend to be huge, or to inflate our numbers based on commercially-ad-driven, seconds-long hits from visitors that will never return. We pride ourselves on being a go-to site for the San Diego-area politically motivated and those following local politics.
In just 18 months, SD Rostra has steadily grown in popularity and readership. We posted an all-time monthly high of over 11,000 unique visitors during October 2010, in the run-up to the 2010 elections. We thank our readers for their loyalty, and for passing along our name and links to your friends and associates.
Our site has a "meter' that allows us to count the number of people who visit and read our content, and there are wide variations and ebbs and flows. Traffic dropped for a few months after the election, but zoomed to new Daily highs last week, driven in part by Vince Vasquez's story on the proposed 'Ronald Reagan Bridge' story, and your humble servant's study about the 39th senate district soon becoming competitive for Republicans again.
Here are some added info sources for SD Rostra fans. Batting lead-off is Matt Potter, the best investigative reporter in San Diego… and the best this town has seen since the immortal Harold Keen in the 1960s and 1970s on Channel 8 and San Diego magazine.
SAN DIEGO READER – Matt Potter
THIS JUST IN (Jan 25, 9:30 p.m.): Lani Lutar and the San Diego County Taxpayers Association have kicked in a ticket to its annual "Golden Fleece Awards" dinner as the prize for the winner of this contest. We thank Lani and SDCTA for this generous donation! Value of the ticket is $150. This dinner is THE not-to-be-missed event of the year for politicos, poliwonks, pundits and fellow travelers. I bet you are feeling more motivated now!
Entry deadline is midnight on Monday, January 31.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled blog post…
The Daily Beast brings us this little nugget in the sea of top lists of this or that: The Top 11 Politicians to Watch in 2011 (guess spotlighting 11 rather than 10 is a play on the year).
And sliding into the No. 1 spot of this distinguished list: San Diego's own Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Vista). Reason: He's expected to head up the House Oversight Committee.
From the Beast story:
1. Rep Darrell Issa, California Republican
I'm not exactly the most devoted GOP meeting attendee. But I'll be there tonight to hear the recap of the wildly dead-on pollster John Nienstedt and Nov. 2 success-story consultant John Hoy.
I had the honor of working with both men on Proposition A – which crossed the finish line easily with more than 70 percent of the vote. Conversely on the difficulty scale, Hoy also consulted the hard-won race for Councilwoman-Elect Lorie Zapf.
Last month, I heard Nienstedt give some quick, off-the-cuff predictions that were eerily correct virtually across the board from the governor race on down to Proposition D.
With Election Day two weeks away, I was intrigued by a North County Times article yesterday by Mark Walker on the changing campaign strategies used due to early and mail-in voting.
The article reads:
"Fully one-half of voters in San Diego County vote by mail while the number is near 40 percent in Riverside County.
The shift is reshaping how campaigns are waged.
Not too often that you see a local proposition garner national media attention, but that's just what the Yes on A camp snagged last week following a feisty debate on KPBS's "These Days."
For starters, Construction for Fair Employment in Construction's Eric Christen went toe-to-toe with Lorena Gonzalez, secretary-treasurer / CEO of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council on last week's "These Days," which drew 18 lengthy comments online. A poll on KPBS's site today showed the proposition getting 65 percent of the yes vote compared to 34 percent.
Not that I wouldn't get the biggest kick out of seeing some flashy pant suits – which she Hillary-iously referred to as a the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits" (haha, oh my sides).
I personally just can't see her going through it all over again.
Her husband, former President Bill Clinton faced off with Meet the Press host David Gregory recently looking thin enough for viewers to ask if he was in good health. Geez, guess I gotta get rid of that image of him feigning his Presidential jogs (into McDonald's). And she's, well, looking a bit exhausted these days.
Did Lorie Zapf's Big victory surprise local Liberals? — Some were Flabbergasted !
Last week I wrote a column about SD Rostra's success in correctly predicting Upset victories in June by Juan Vargas and Lorie Zapf.
Not very controversial, right?
But a writer for a SD liberal publication attacked, saying (A) Zapf's victory was no surprise, and (B) no one said she would miss the runoff and (C) we Rostrafarians were "Morons".
As Jack Benny used to say, "Well !"
But was the Last Angry Man right in his basic complaint? We did some fact-checking to see and found these quotes of note:
In the last month before the June primary, Barry Jantz reported a poll showing a close race between Howard Wayne and Lorie Zapf in SD city council district 6.
Soon after, I reported on polling which showed Juan Vargas leading Mary Salas outside SD County and would likely win the 40th senate Democratic primary.
Barry Jantz took flack from some in the local MSM, who demanded documentation and sourcing on these polls. Barry replied that many posters here are political professionals and, as such, "hear" breaking info which doesn't reach traditional media, and which are told us on the basis of no attribution.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Comparing Yoga, Exercise, and a Self-Care Book for Chronic Low Back Pain. A Randomized, Controlled Trial." It is in the 20 December 2005 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 143, pages 849-856). The authors are K.J. Sherman, D.C. Cherkin, J. Erro, D.L. Miglioretti, and R.A. Deyo.
Low back pain is a common problem that often goes away after several days or weeks but can also be chronic, lasting for months or years. Treatment goals include decreasing pain and improving function so that patients can do their normal activities. Treatment options include educating patients about ways to prevent back injury and to deal with back pain, drugs (pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants), and exercise. We do not know which particular types of exercise will best improve outcomes for patients with low back pain. Yoga is an activity that combines physical exercise with relaxation techniques. Although many people with chronic low back pain use yoga, little is known about its effectiveness for this condition.
To compare the effectiveness of yoga, traditional exercise, and an educational book for people with chronic low back pain.
101 patients between 20 and 64 years of age who visited a primary care doctor in the past 3 to 15 months for chronic low back pain. All patients were members of the insurance plan Group Health in Seattle, Washington. To be in the study, patients had to rate their pain as being at least 3 on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Patients who had major illnesses or conditions (cancer, pregnancy, bone fractures, previous back surgery) that could explain the back pain could not participate in the study.
The researchers assigned patients at random to receive 1) 12 weekly 75-minute yoga classes designed for patients with back pain and instructions to practice daily at home; 2) 12 weekly 75-minute sessions of aerobic, strengthening, and stretching exercises, which were developed by a physical therapist, and instructions to practice daily at home; or 3) a personal copy of The Back Pain Helpbook by Jim Moore and colleagues (Reading, MA: Perseus Books; 1999). Study patients could use drugs, such as anti-inflammatory agents or acetaminophen, as needed. Interviewers, who did not know which treatment each patient received, called patients after 6, 12, and 26 weeks and used standard questions to collect information on pain and dysfunction.
After 12 weeks, patients in the yoga group had better back-related function than patients in the exercise or education groups. Reports of pain were similar in all 3 groups. At 26 weeks, patients in the yoga group reported better back-related function and less pain.
The study followed patients for about 6 months, so this study does not tell us about the effectiveness of yoga over longer periods. The study involved only 1 yoga instructor and 1 exercise instructor. Other instructors might have achieved different results. The study was too small to come to firm conclusions about the safety of yoga for patients with low back pain.
Over 3 to 6 months, yoga appears to be more effective than traditional exercise or an educational book for improving function and pain in patients with chronic low back pain.

AAR Mini-Polls
Top Ten Hanky Reads | Top Ten Hanky Read Authors
November 22, 2006
Top Ten Hanky Reads
Linda Howard's 2003 release Cry No More, which earned DIK status at AAR, blew away the competition in the poll for your Top Ten Hanky Reads. It earned nearly 2/3 (64%) more points than the book in second place. Though it didn't win as the Best Contemporary Romance in our annual reader poll, it garnered an honorable mention in that category, then went on to win, as a stand-alone win, in the Two-Hanky, Strongest Heroine, and Romantic Suspense categories. This story has so many bittersweet moments but the ending, without a doubt, was the pivotal point that had many readers reaching for the Kleenex.
All the titles in positions two through ten were closer together, point wise, than the difference between Cry No More and Always To Remember, published by Lorraine Heath in 1996. When Laurie originally reviewed it, her grade was a B-. Years and years later AAR reviewer Leigh Thomas did a second review, a DIK review. Always To Remember earned honorable mention in our very first annual reader poll.
Even though it was published a decade ago, it still holds a place in many readers' hearts, so that when Leigh's review was posted earlier this year, many readers who disagreed with Laurie's B- felt a wrong had been rectified - and were vociferous about it for months on the Reviews Forum. Always to Remember gradually works on the reader to see both sides of a story, which is particularly apt because it is about war.
Paullina Simons' The Bronze Horseman, published in the U.S. in 2001, is definitely a hard book to categorize since it didn't end with a traditional HEA. Even so, many romance readers love this book and it too earned DIK status, then went on to earn an honorable mention in the Two Hanky category in the Annual Reader Poll for that year. The Bronze Horseman, along with its sequel, Tatiana & Alexander (which finished in 31st place), are much better read back to back so you can have a major crying jag. Pollster Lee Brewer has read most of the Top Ten Hanky Reads, says that she "never cried so much as when reading these two stories - not just sniffles, but huge tears that made my eyes red."
1992's Flowers From the Storm by Laura Kinsale slid into fourth place and is a book that some would consider the epitome of romance. Many readers came to romance as a result of this book, particularly those who had previously believed the genre was rather silly. The story of an overly proud and self-centered man who falls from his own pedestal and the only woman who dares to try and understand him is one of the most moving romances ever written. Part of the poignancy for this reader was that the hero and heroine never know what illness wrecked his speech and motor skills. Even though the reader has an inkling of what could have happened, the hero and heroine have little knowledge and quite frankly have no idea if the hero's condition could get worse at some point. All in all, this story is about two people who are forced to look at their lives and make harsh choices in order to be with the person they love. For the last scene in the book alone, this romance should be required reading for all readers.
When Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Dream A Little Dream was published in 1998, it solidified her standing among readers as one of the best the genre has to offer, particularly because it showed such a different side to the author...a two-hanky side as opposed to the comedic romance side for which she'd gathered legions of fans. The book didn't earn DIK status at AAR, but for that year's annual reader poll, it earned three awards, for Two-Hanky, Most Tortured Hero, and Best Contemporary Romance - and all as stand-alone wins - and one honorable mention. It also earned the author the "Best New Discovery" category as well (that is no longer a category in our annual reader polls; now we poll for Best New Author and Author Most Glommed).
Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas earned DIK status here at AAR, but because it was published in 1994, it pre-dates our annual reader polls. Still, readers have found a way to show others just how important this book is to them. Derek Craven placed fourth in a recent mini-poll on Top Ten Heroes, his heroine Sarah Fielding found her spot at sixth in the Top Ten Heroines category, and together they landed in fourth place in the Top Ten Couple mini-poll. Their story also placed second in the recent Top Ten Comfort Reads poll.
Mary Balogh's The Secret Pearl was first published in 1991 and, like most of the other titles on this top ten list, earned DIK status. It is just one of her many books to provoke tears in the reader. In fact, sixteen titles by Mary Balogh were voted on in this poll. The author, who has won and/or earned honorable mention in many of our annual reader polls, was the Author Most Glommed for three years (2003, 2004, and 2006). If you have never read this story (which was reprinted earlier this year), do buy it and save it for a time when you need a good cry.
A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught was published in 1991, and when Laurie learned of a reader who loved the book as much as she did, asked that the reader write a DIK review of the book, and it is that reader's DIK review we have online. McNaught's one and only Medieval seems to have improved with age as it did not win a spot in AAR's first Top 100 Romances poll (1998), landed in the 23rd slot in the second (2000), and climbed its way to fifteen position in the third and most recent of our Top 100 Romances poll (2004). If you've not read it - or read it lately - perhaps it's time.
Tapestry was Karen Ranney's first release, and is said to bear no resemblance her more recent Avon titles. Published in 1995, it too pre-dates our annual reader polls, and it has never been reviewed here. We would love for that to change, so if you love this book, please consider submitting a DIK review of it. Tapestry has not shown up in any other polls by AAR so seeing it here is truly a surprise. That said, as a result of hearing about the book, Laurie asked the author to submit a Write Byte on the Allure of the Two-Hanky Read; the article remains online to this day (as do all Write Bytes).
Catherine Anderson's 1996 release Annie's Song rounds out the Top Ten Hanky Reads and is the story of a woman believed to be an idiot (she is, in fact, deaf...and doesn't speak), and the man who is forced to marry her due to his brother's horrendous actions. There are so many scenes in this book that will bring tears to a reader's eyes, including one poignant moment as described by Cindy: "When the deaf heroine tried to make sounds, her mother used to slap her to keep her from sounding stupid. The part that made me tear up was when her husband heard her making sounds and realized that she was deaf and not an idiot - when she saw him she immediately stopped making noise and he begged her to not stop - definitely got me crying." Amazingly this book only made a blip in the appropriate annual reader poll, earning an honorable mention in the Hanky Read category. Equally amazing is that this book has yet to be reviewed by AAR, so if this book is a DIK for you, we would welcome your review.
Previously we mentioned which of your top ten had also appeared in our annual reader polls. Let's now reverse that. Interestingly enough, out of the ten years we've conducted our annual reader poll to date, just two winning Hanky Reads cracked your top ten. Those that did not are:
Top Ten Hanky Read Authors
Your top ten hanky read authors are writers who consistently tug at your emotions, and require you to have a box of tissues close at hand whenever you read their books. By and large, the list offers up no real surprises. In addition to being hanky-read authors, these are also some of the perennial favorite authors of AAR readers. While readers cast at least one vote for 121 different authors in this category, the top ten can be viewed in this chart to your right:
These authors span many genres within romance, including Trad Regency, European Historical, Contemporary, Medieval, Renaissance, Frontier/Western, Time Travel, and Americana. Mary Balogh easily topped the list of hanky-read authors. This is no surprise, given that 17 of her titles received at least one vote, and one, The Secret Pearl, ended up in the top ten.
Judith McNaught placed second, and in addition to A Kingdom of Dreams (8th title for Top Hanky Reads), six of McNaught's other titles also received votes as hanky-read titles.
Third third place author Lorraine Heath had one title among the top ten hanky reads. Many of Heath's other titles received votes, including Texas Destiny (12th) and Sweet Lullaby (13th).
While Linda Howard's book Cry No More ended up in first place for the titles, she took fourth place among hanky authors. In addition to Cry No More, six of her other titles received votes. Ms. Howard has pleased AAR readers in a number of categories, and is clearly able to evoke a variety of emotions. While 2003's Cry No More won the Most Hanky category in our annual reader poll, she flipped things around a couple of years later; her 2005 release To Die For earned honorable mention as Favorite Funny.
The fifth place hanky author, Laura Kinsale, had one title in the top ten, and three of her other titles also received votes.
Three authors – LaVryle Spencer, Mary Jo Putney, and Diana Gabaldon – placed in the top ten, but did not have a single title in the top ten. Clearly, for these three authors, it is the body of their work, and not a single, dominant title, that earned them your vote. LaVryle Spencer placed seventh among authors. While none of her books placed in the top ten, six did receive votes, with Morning Glory tying for 20th place.
In addition to taking ninth place among Hanky Read Authors, six of Mary Jo Putney's titles received votes as well. Ms. Putney is no stranger to this category; her 1997 release One Perfect Rose won as Most Hanky Read in our annual reader poll, and The Spiral Path, published in 2002, earned honorable mention in the same category during the year it was eligible.
Diana Gabaldon landed in tenth place in the poll, and four of her titles received votes, with Outlander ending up in 18th place. Gabaldon is no newcomer to the Hanky Read category. A Breath of Snow and Ashes, published last year, tied with a Karen Ranney release in our annual reader poll.
We invite you to consider these questions and post about these poll results:
Lee Brewer, LinnieGayl, and Cindy Smith
