College Hockey:This Week in the CCHA: Feb. 3, 2005
We Apparently Don't Give a Darn about the Whole State of Michigan
Add Indiana to that, while you're at it.
All three Ohio teams swept conference opponents last week, a feat that is somewhat surprising given that Miami's two wins were its first two road wins of the season, period.
Miami took two from Ferris State in Ewigleben, Bowling Green swept Notre Dame in home-and-home action, and Ohio State took two from visiting Western Michigan.
For Miami head coach Enrico Blasi, those two road wins were also his 99th and 100th career victories.
"I guess it's an accomplishment," said Blasi. "I think all the players who have played for the staff for the past five years deserve the credit."
The RedHawks have played this entire season with injuries and illnesses, and last weekend was no exception. Starting goaltender Brandon Crawford-West was out because of a lingering virus, giving freshman Charlie Effinger the chance to post back-to-back wins, earning him CCHA Rookie of the Week honors.
Blasi said that Crawford-West "may be back" for the weekend, but he said he "wouldn't be surprised" if Effinger started Friday. "We feel comfortable putting Charlie in there. I think it's day-to-day."
Freshmen forward Nino Musitelli and senior defenseman Joe Pomaranski are among the wounded. Musitelli is out with a shoulder injury for the rest of the season. Pomaranski is out indefinitely, and junior defenseman Stephen Dennis may return to the lineup this week after being injured.
"We haven't been healthy," said Blasi, "but we're finally understanding that this is our team."
Only a handful of players — Andy Greene, Nathan Davis, Mitch Ganzak, Taylor Hustead, Ryan Jones, and Chris Busby — have suited up for all 28 games so far this season.
That kind of lack of roster continuity has made for a long and difficult season of adjustment for the RedHawks, and a road sweep was just what the doctor ordered for the long-suffering squad.
"I think right now we're like a lot of other teams, we're looking for something to hang our hat on," said Blasi. "That was a big win for us Friday."
Miami is tied with three other teams for sixth place in the CCHA standings, each team with 17 points, three points behind fifth-place Bowling Green. While a lot of movement in the ranks is possible and everyone wants home ice for the first round of the playoffs, Blasi said that the RedHawks are "just thinking about Western Michigan."
Miami travels to Kalamazoo for the final two regular-season meetings between these clustermates, and Blasi said that the Bronco offense is a more immediate concern than where the RedHawks will be playing in March. "Obviously, they're very explosive offensively. We have to make sure we take care of things in our own end."
As good as it is in goal for the RedHawks right now — Crawford-West and Effinger have a combined save percentage of .907 — the key to Miami's success is clearly on the front end, and when sophomore forward Marty Guerin is cooking, so are the RedHawks. Of Guerin's 22 total points this season, 20 have come in Miami's 11 wins, and the 'Hawks are 8-0-0 when Guerin has a multi-point game.
Up I-75 a bit and a little north in the CCHA standings, Bowling Green continues to vie for home ice, having posted a 4-2-0 record in the month of January. Senior goaltender Jordan Sigalet was in net for all six games in January, posting a 2.18 goals-against average and .930 save percentage for the month.
Senior Ryan Minnabarriet and junior Mike Falk each had four goals during the span, and the Falcon offense is now the fourth-best in the league, averaging 3.29 goals per game.
A little further east, the Buckeyes and the Broncos played an interesting game Friday night, one in which referee Stephen McInchak "let the boys play," seemingly ignoring the NCAA rules enforcement mandate.
The result was the best evidence yet for the new rules enforcement, a choppy, chippy contest in which the game had very little flow.
"Maybe what you saw a little evidence of was more compared to like last year," said OSU head coach John Markell after the contest. "There was a lot of in the corner play and man-on-man down low, and it makes it difficult."
Not only did it make play difficult on the ice, but it was a difficult game to watch. With several players allowed to spend significant time along the boards, not only was the play ungraceful, but the emotions that were allowed to fester led to truly stupid and unnecessary penalties.
Markell was clearly frustrated by the number and kind of penalties his Buckeyes, the most penalized team in the nation, took, especially the 10-minute misconducts Nate Guenin and Matt Waddell took as the final game buzzer sounded. "It adds to our totals. We picked up 24 minutes in two seconds."
Broncos Pat Dwyer and Vince Bellissimo also had misconducts at the 20-minute mark in the third.
OSU blanked WMU 7-0 the following night, a game that also ended with Guenin and Bellissimo penalized nearly as the buzzer sounded. Each received two-minute, contact-to-the-head penalties at 19:58 in the third.
Speaking of Notre Dame …
… and we were, briefly. The 5-18-5 Fighting Irish have been swept just four times by league opponents this season, something that is rather surprising given their record.
The Irish are 0-8-1 in their last nine games, a streak that dates back to Jan. 7. In the month of January, the number of games the Irish played was more than the total of goals they scored, having registered 11 goals in 12 contests.
Saturday's 6-2 loss to Bowling Green marked the first time that the Irish mustered two tallies since their last win, a 2-1 decision over visiting Rensselaer in the Joyce Center, Jan. 2.
Not only are the Irish not scoring, averaging just 1.50 goals per game for last in the CCHA, but Notre Dame isn't shooting, either; the Irish are second-to-last in the conference in shots per game, averaging 28.21. Only the Lakers shoot less.
And only the Lakers, the Nanooks, and the Irish have no players who reached the 10-goal mark for the season.
And Speaking of Road Wins …
… and we were, last weekend the Northern Michigan Wildcats became the first and only team in the CCHA to beat Michigan in Yost this season, snapping the Wolverines' 22-game regular-season CCHA win streak.
NMU goaltender Tuomas Tarkki had 27 stops to Wolverine Al Montoya's 13, and Darin Olver, Pat Murphy, Mike Santorelli, and Pat Bateman had the goals in the 4-1 win in which the Wildcats took a 2-1 lead after the first.
"I think it's always important [to get the early lead], especially on these guys — they are real dangerous," said NMU head coach Walt Kyle, whose Wildcats apparently fulfilled their published promise from early that week to play their derrieres off in Ann Arbor.
"This is a tough environment to play in," said Kyle. "We haven't had any success here in the last couple of years and it was important for our guys to feel like they could get something done."
The win was Kyle's first in Yost Ice Arena as NMU head coach.
In the Mix
It's difficult to say what's more surprising about the four teams tied for sixth place, the presence of the Spartans or that of the Lakers.
While the Spartans had their traditionally slow start to the season and are fighting to avoid traveling for the first round of the CCHA playoffs since the 1990-91 season, the Lakers are trying to stay home for the first round since 1999-2000, when eighth seed Bowling Green upset third seed LSSU in two games in Sault Ste. Marie.
"We're right where we're probably should be," said Laker head coach Frank Anzalone. "Now we have to make hay against some good teams."
Weeks ago, I reported that two players, Barnabas Birkeland and Mark Adamek, had been reinstated to the Laker team, something that contradicted stories from other news agencies, but Anzalone said that both players have, indeed, returned.
Birkeland may be making his first appearance in a long, long time this weekend. In addition to having served a suspension, Birkeland injured his wrist early in the season and now may be recovered enough from knee surgery to play against Ohio State this weekend.
"Birkeland got hurt two days after he started practicing" following his reinstatement, said Anzalone.
The beleaguered Lakers have done admirably in a season that — like that of Miami — has season little to no roster continuity. In addition to the terrific play of Jeff Jakaitis (.923 SV%), who has shouldered the load in net because of Matt Violin's midseason injury, Anzalone points to the Lakers' "ability to play defense" as a reason LSSU, one of the lowest-scoring teams in the conference, is in the home ice hunt.
"We're just thankful that we have Steve McJannett and Alex Dunn who were able to go back on defense," said Anzalone, "and Justin Gutwald, the guy from the Sioux Indians. He was a walk on, and none of these guys has hurt the team."
Anzalone is concerned not only with OSU's potentially explosive offense, but the perception — actually, the misconception — that the Buckeyes are a big, physical team. OSU has a couple of players who are big — Guenin and Sean Collins come to mind — but the Buckeyes are physical without being overly big.
Unfortunately for LSSU, physical is not a style of play the Lakers like. "If we beat these guys this weekend, even just one game, that's news," said Anzalone. "It's an opportunity to see if we've grown a little bit more. We'll prepare for them, but we'll prepare to play good."
Anzalone's trademark realism sums up his team's chances better than anything I can say about the hard-working, tenacious Lakers. "We're a middle-of-the-pack team that's going to need some luck, some breaks."
Games of the Week
One team vying for its umpteenth regular-season title. One team trying to secure playoff home ice. Two teams that really, really love each other.
Michigan (20-7-1, 17-3-0 CCHA) vs. Michigan State (13-11-2, 8-9-1 CCHA)
Friday, 7:35 p.m., Yost Arena, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Saturday, 7:35 p.m., Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Mich.
"There's no time off now." This is how Spartan captain Jim Slater described Michigan State's predicament to my esteemed colleague Neil Koepke of the Lansing State Journal.
Would that the Spartans hadn't taken any time off, so to speak, earlier in the season.
For the past decade or so, nearly every regular-season meeting between the Spartans and Wolverines had first-place implications, with each team vying for the top spot in the CCHA standings. While first place is certainly something at stake in these final regular-season meetings between Michigan and MSU, only Michigan is looking to capture the title, and the Spartans are hoping to stay at home for the first round of the CCHA playoffs.
Given that the scenario is somewhat different from that of recent years, Michigan head coach Red Berenson said that these are still "huge games."
"They're big for our fans, they're big for the in-state rivalry, recruiting, bragging rights. The one thing you hate to lose to the most is your archrival. I think the rivalry speaks for itself.
"We're on our agenda. We're in a race for first place … but they have an agenda of their own, one which is perhaps more desperate than ours."
Thanks to a split at home with third-place Northern Michigan last weekend, the Wolverines are just three points ahead of second-place Ohio State in the league standings, and there is a possibility — remote though it seems — that the Buckeyes can catch the Wolverines. Third-place NMU has a longer shot, nine points behind Michigan, but Berenson doesn't discount the possibility and will have his Wolverines working hard to maintain first place.
"When we put down our goals," said Berenson, "one of our goals is to finish first in our league, one is to take the conference tournament, another is to get into the NCAA tournament and so on."
When a team annually ends its season in the NCAA tournament for more than a decade running, that team can take for granted that the national tournament is an attainable goal, but Berenson said that without a good regular season, the national tournament would be a moot point.
"I've said a long time ago that if you don't do well in the league then you're not going to do well in the NCAA tournament. We expect to get into the tournament every year, but we can't do that without doing well in the CCHA."
This year's Spartans, frequent NCAA tourney attendees themselves, will struggle just to make it to Joe Louis Arena, something not lost on Slater. "We have three tough weeks coming up and there's still a lot we can accomplish," Slater told the State Journal. "There's 10 games left, then the playoffs. There's a long way to go."
Sitting 17th in the PairWise Rankings — tied with Maine and Vermont, but with favorable tiebreakers — the Spartans are still a team under consideration for the tournament, not only a team that has a chance at a berth if its fortunes improve, but a team that makes them a target for other folks who may be going to the Big Show, most notably Michigan and Ohio State, the latter being a bubble team that may need to sweep MSU to earn an invitation to the NCAA tournament.
Last week, MSU did itself no favors but did no actual harm in losing to the U.S. Under-18 Team, 4-3. MSU head coach Rick Comley told the State Journal that the win was "tremendous" for the Under-18 team, but for the Spartans was "a tough game to play and a horrible time to play a game that didn't count."
By now, everyone knows that the Spartans struggled offensively to start their season, but since beating Michigan for the Great Lakes Invitational title in December, MSU has come alive, outshooting opponents in eight of the last nine games — if you don't count last week's exhibition game.
All that shooting has led to two four-goal games and one eight-goal contest during that span. Four Spartans — Colton Fretter (14-15–29), Jim Slater (11-17–28), Drew Miller (12-8–20), and Ash Goldie (10-6–16) — have now tallied 10 or more goals, something that looked unlikely just eight weeks ago.
The Spartans are going to need every bit of firepower they can muster if they are to take points from the Wolverines this weekend. Michigan had one of the most explosive offenses in the country, and while the Wolverines have shown in recent weeks that they are vulnerable — especially on the shaky penalty kill — Michigan will be ready for these contests.
Here are some numbers for your consideration:
Goals per game: UM 4.14 (first); MSU 3.04 (sixth)
Goals allowed per game: UM 2.64 (fourth); MSU 2.38 (third)
Power play: UM 19.5 % (fourth); MSU 16.8% (seventh)
Penalty kill: UM 82.5% (seventh); MSU 84.7% (fourth)
Top scorer: UM T.J. Hensick (16-20–36); MSU Colton Fretter (14-15–29)
Top 'tender: UM Al Montoya (2.73 GAA, .894 SV%); MSU Dominic Vicari (2.18 GAA, .922 SV%)
In addition to Hensick, who was held to just one point, an assist, by Northern Michigan last weekend, four other Wolverines have goal totals in the double digits: Jeff Tambellini (13-19–32), Milan Gajic (14-16–30), Chad Kolarik (10-11–21), Brandon Kaleniecki (10-5–15).
The Spartans did beat a shortened Wolverines bench for that GLI title in December, but Michigan swept MSU, 4-2 and 5-2, in November. Twenty-six of the last 27 meetings between these teams have been decided by two or few goals, and that total includes five ties.
And every time I think that someone has an edge in net when playing Michigan, Al Montoya proves me wrong.
Picks: It would be an extraordinary event for the Wolverines to sweep the Spartans in all four regular-season games, but I wouldn't bet against it. Michigan has some injuries, but you have to go back to the Buffalo Bills teams of the early 1990s for a team that circles the wagons like this Michigan squad. Michigan 3-1, 3-1
And Why Not?
The Wolverines have not finished below second place in the CCHA since before the 1990-91 season, and Michigan is poised to make its 15th consecutive appearance in t

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 2 August 1839; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18390802-TC-JAC-01; CL 11: 163-164
Templand, 2nd August, 1839—
My dear Brother,
Many thanks for your Letter of this morning; which tells us all you can tell: we hope in a day or two there will be definite news of your home-coming, and a day set when I am to come and meet you! The Courier of this week has never yet come up from Dumfries, I will send it still if it come. The next one, which will contain all the sailing days for August, I will make a point of sending. Your Examiner came duly; I do not get the Exr now since we left London; you can send the next No too if you chance to have it,—not otherwise. The frank to Scotsbrig never arrived;1 nor do I know by any hint what is going on there since Monday gone a week, when our Mother and I left it. I suppose they must have guessed that the frank was from you, and opened it to see what news.
I took down my Mother on Monday last, as I told you: it was a bright beautiful day; our last of that sort. The weather is very moist, very blustery ever since. Today or yesterday, our Mother ought to be at Annan, on her way homewards. She was well, and eager for your return, and mine.
I have endeavoured to be busy here ever since Tuesday morning; but cannot say I get on well in any sense. I awake every morning at some unreasonable hour, 7,5 or even 3; and no breakfast is going till half past 9. I will try it a day or two longer; if with no better issue, I will over to Scotsbrig, taking my desk with me; there at least one can have breakfast a little earlier! It is as of old the chosen region of clatter this; Jane wrote to me she was "nearly dead of clatter." I am always moderately well in solitude, utterly alone; and oftenest contrive to be that way. You will still have time, I think, for another frank to me here: if I should even be off, the frank can follow me without difficulty.
I daily splash down something on paper about that "working-class" business; but I am not yet got at all into the heart of it, I have not found the back-bone of it at all; and can hardly yet venture to say that I have in any sort got into motion decisively. I must and will persist. There seems no use in living to me, if it be not writing, or preparing to write. My faculties these two years have lain dormant; I feel impatient to get repossession of them.— Write the instant you get any fixed issue. Say whether I may answer under cover to the Duke; Pr[oofsh]eet fr[anks?] are done for the present. Fraser [is printing the]2 American Books (500 "Revolns");3 pray see how he gets on. Tell Craik, we get his Newspapers, and are always glad of them; oftenest even read them.— Jane is not at all very well; but I think will not go to Annandale with me even if I go so soon. Have you seen Mill, or anybody? Adieu, dear Brother. You will write. Ever your affectionate— T. Carlyle

It's a rare opportunity in fashion to own something truly one-of-a-kind, especially from a world-famous brand like Christian Louboutin. When you're dealing with a company that big, even limited edition pieces are generally made by the dozens, if not hundreds, and there's always a celebrity, or at least someone who's fashion-famous, with the same special thing that you have. That's why the Christian Louboutin Bespoke Spiked Boots are such a unique opportunity – they'll be the only pair of their kind in the world. Oh, and one other detail – Sotheby's thinks they'll sell for $30,000.
These spike-covered, Louboutin-red-all-over boots are part of the (RED) Auction 2013, hosted by Sotheby's, which includes a range of special fashion and design pieces curated by Apple's design head Johnny Ive and legendary designer Marc Newson. The auction benefits the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and based on some of the estimated gavel prices for the 44 pieces that Ive and Newson picked, Sotheby's will be sending a heavy contribution in the charity's direction. The auction also includes a Leica camera estimated to sell for as much as three quarters of a million dollars and a Range Rover that could go for as much as $125,000.
These boots represent the only time I can remember that Louboutin's famed Spikes have been applied all over to a shoe with this much surface area, and the red-red-red color scheme certainly takes Louboutin's sexy, edgy aesthetic to its logical extreme. The pitch and heel of the shoe appear to be similar (if not identical) to that of the So Kate Pumps, so these boots are for those who like both extreme prices and extreme heels. Also: be careful crossing your legs, lest you stab yourself.
The boots, which go under the gavel on the evening of November 23 in New York City, will be made-to-measure for their eventual owner. For more information about the Louboutins and the rest of the auction (it includes an Hermes saddle!), head over to Sotheby's.

Student organizations are essentially a necessary part in building a community within the school. There are orgs like the student council, writers' guild, glee club, and dance troupe among others where camaraderie among the teachers and the students can be built.
If you plan on joining an org in your school, consider the advantages and disadvantages of joining one
School organizations…
However, school organizations also…
• Require much time and effort to accomplish the necessary activities – from the application process to project involvements;
• Involve money since not all projects and activities are for free (e.g. dine-out, annual dues, contributions, outings, etc.);
• [May] limit your friends, horizon and capacity – same people, same activities;
• [May] result to dependence since you know that the other members are always there for you; and
• [May] cause aspiring and new members physical, verbal, and emotional abuse or maltreatment, especially during the application process (depends on what kind of org you want to join).
These are just some of the pros and cons of joining and being a member of a student organization. With these lists, you can now evaluate and eventually decide whether to take part in extracurricular activities, or not.

Ronnie Baker Brooks, is a well respected and exceptionally talented Chicago Blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer, who has enjoyed a unique perspective having been raised in the shadows of musical legends, including his father GRAMMY Award nominated Chicago Blues legend Lonnie Brooks and dear friend GRAMMY Award nominated Chicago Blues legend Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater. He has benefitted from success on his own terms, as well as within his family. His brother Wayne Baker Brooks is also an accomplished musician. Brooks will be on hand to help Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater celebrate his 79th birthday in style at the 3rd Annual Blues Birthday Bash at SPACE Evanston on Friday, January 10th, 2014. Brooks and Clearwater share a close friendship, forged and solidified through a seemingly unbreakable and unshakeable creative bond, which is filled with mutual respect and admiration.
I recently had the honor and privilege of chatting with Ronnie Baker Brooks, via telephone, leading up to his 'special guest appearance' at Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater's 3rd Annual Blues Birthday Bash and live recording at SPACE Evanston on Friday, January 10th, 2014.
William Kelly Milionis: I truly appreciate this interview opportunity. What an honor and privilege it is to chat with you.
Ronnie Baker Brooks: Thanks for calling man.
Kelly: You are a member of an exceptionally gifted and talented musical family; an historically significant musical family. You are a highly accomplished blues artist yourself, as is your brother Wayne Baker Brooks. Growing up, when did you realize your father, legendary blues artist Lonnie Brooks, had that very special creative spark?
Ronnie: The first time that I knew something was different, I was about eleven or twelve years old and he took us to the Chicago Blues festival. That was the first time that I got to see dad play to a large crowd. I'd seen him perform in a club. The first time I was on stage was on my ninth birthday and we were in a small club on the south side of Chicago and it was cool. I knew it was cool. But, watching him play at the festival was a bigger impact, because there was a lot more people that I saw who were responding to dad. That's when I knew something was different.
Kelly: That truly has to be a special feeling?
Ronnie: Yeah, I was very proud. Then, a lot of my friends were into other styles of music, so I kept a lot of it to myself. And, Eddy ["The Chief" Clearwater] was one of those guys that would come by the house when I was a young kid. I knew that Eddy was a legend. It was great to see him come by. I remember that as a kid too. I knew that wasn't normal, as I got older. At first, it was like, you would see Koko Taylor or Hubert Sumlin come by or we would go by their house or whatever; it was just a normal thing. But, as I got older I realized that this was different.
Kelly: Looking back, you have an irreplaceable window on history simply because you've lived it. Significant, nothing ordinary, and so refreshing to hear you speak about it. Having felt that spark from your dad, when did you realize that Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater had the same spark? And, when did you begin sitting in with him and playing with him?
Ronnie: Well, I have always been a fan of Eddy Clearwater. Like I said, since he would come by the house. The first time, I can't remember the first time jammin' with him because we did so many in the house with dad back in the day. I would go on the north side of Chicago and watch Eddy play, you know one of the north side clubs. Eventually, when he said that I was playing with dad, he said ok I guess he's qualified enough to come up here and jam with me. So I would go jam. He got this club here in Chicago called Reservation Blues. He said, I got this club for people like you. So you come down here and play. I would go down there and we would jam. Every time I played down there, he would come and sit in with me. If he was playing and I was there, I would sit in with him. And, it grew, and grew, and grew, and he heard that I was doing my own records and writing my own records. He said, man I'm putting a record together and I would like for you to help me with one or two songs. I was honored! I was floored! Of course Eddy, whatever you need me to do. So, I would go over to his house. I brought all my gear over; my recording gear. One song led to two songs, two songs led to three, and so on and so on. It was one of the best moments of my life. To be honest, when you're writing, I love that part, and playing live as well but the writing when you're becoming creative with another person you love bouncing off ideas it's just a great positive energy. And, I loved it. It reminded me so much of when I was writing with my dad and being around the house with dad. For Eddy to allow that to happen, it was an honor. I ended up spending the night, got up the next morning and started all over again with Eddy. We listened to music, we bounced off of each other's ideas and that record [West Side Strut] was just a great, great moment in my career for me. And, I had the pleasure to produce that album.
Kelly: What role will you have with the live recording taking place at SPACE Evanston this Friday night for Eddy's 3rd Annual Blues Birthday Bash? Are you a producer on his live album?
Ronnie: Not really. I've been giving him ideas in rehearsals. This is Eddy's baby and I'm just visiting. He just came and played at my dad's 80th Birthday Bash here in Chicago. I told him there at the party, it's like hey man, I know your birthday's coming and I'll be there. He called me the next day and said, since you're going to be there you ought to play with me, you know I'm recording? I said I didn't know but whatever you want, I'm there. So we've been rehearsing and trying to get it together.
Kelly: Are you involved in any of the tracks?
Ronnie: Well yes, we're going to do some of the songs we did on the West Side Strut album. I wrote or co-wrote several of the songs on that album.
Kelly: What are the fans to expect with the performance on Friday?
Ronnie: Eddy "The Chief" it's his house, I'm just visiting, and I'm trying to support and make Eddy look good and sound good. They know what to expect already. You know it's gonna be a good time and a good vibe...so just come on down and have some fun!
Kelly: This will be Eddy's first new release since West Side Strut in 2008. However, you and Eddy did collaborate on a track, A Time For Peace in 2010.
Ronnie: Sitting in Eddy's living room, he started playing this song idea and I was like wow Eddy that's beautiful, that's beautiful. That's how we came up with the idea. I just put the arrangement on it and helped out a little bit. Basically, I wanted to create the same vibe that we had in that living room with Eddy. It was a message song and I wanted people to feel that soul coming from Eddy.
Kelly: You can definitely feel it. Everything you, your father, your brother, and Eddy have accomplished and are continuing to provide musically is noteworthy. Whether you are producing, writing or performing you have each had a lengthy career with a resultant stature received from hard work and achievements. And, it's always great to be recognized by your peers. Congratulations to your father Lonnie for his GRAMMY Award nomination. And to Eddy's GRAMMY Award nomination as well. You each have a drive for excellence. You have a sincere love of your profession and a complete dedication to and passion for your craft.
Ronnie: Oh man, I'm honored dude. You know, we did this tune on my record The Torch, called The Torch Of The Blues. Eddy sang along with the late Willie Kent, Jimmy Johnson and my dad. I grew up with all these cats. Back in the day, I remember when all of them were on the road. All of them were on the road consistently. And, everybody was on the road a lot more back then. We were representing Chicago. I took pride in that, being a part of that. When they did that song with me, it just made me feel like I was accepted into the Chicago Blues Men's fraternity. To be able to rub shoulders with these guys is an honor beyond belief I really appreciated it.
Kelly: You, in your own way, have been moving forward and are a musical torch bearer. Are there any young, up-and-coming musicians who might be able to carry that torch as well...carry on the blues legacy?
Ronnie: Yeah, I've got a few. But, I've been heartbroken on the loss of one of my good friends, actually a couple of weeks ago, Eric Guitar Davis...
Kelly: Yes, I'm sorry to hear that...
Ronnie: Yes, he was killed about two or three weeks ago here in Chicago. He was an up-and-coming Chicago blues artist. I worked with him as well. I produced a couple tracks on his record. He had a promising future but was gunned down here in Chicago and it broke my heart. So, it's kind of difficult to think about that part of it. But, like you said, you got to go on and keep pressing. There is one young kid here called Jamiah. Jamiah on Fire is the name of his band. He's probably just fifteen or sixteen years old and an amazing young talent...amazing! Great attitude, talented, not only just a guitarist, he can play several instruments. That's what I look forward to, to see him develop.
Kelly: What's on the horizon for Ronnie Baker Brooks?
Ronnie: I'm trying to finish my new CD. I'm excited about that. To get a new CD out and to just continue to develop that and developing the new band and the sound. Just trying to get better. Every year I try to do something to force myself or to push myself to do something to better myself. And, you can get a little complacent in this business. This is an old man's success business; being a blues man. They don't believe you until you are old; you know seventy years old, then they believe you. [laughing] Which is kind of sad because we do have some young people making it like Gary Carter, Jr. and Shemekia Copeland
Kelly: When you say it's an old man's game, it speaks volumes for you because you had the talent at such a young age
Ronnie: Yes, and that's what I meant by getting into that Blues Men's fraternity. When I was younger, many were saying you're too young to play the blues. What do you know about the blues. They weren't giving out contracts to young kids back then, like Jonny Lang. You know, all these other youngsters, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, they're not youngsters anymore but back then they were. When I was coming up, they weren't doing that because I had to prove myself. And, I was standing up against other guys who were still trying to prove themselves. That has changed. That has changed for the better. People are a little bit more open now about color, age, sex, all that. I think that's a good move for the music because it's got to grow. You can't sing about picking cotton or you can't sing about what Muddy Waters sings about. We do sing those songs with the same spirit, but we can't talk about it because we haven't lived it. We can only talk about what we've lived and use that same spirit that Muddy and Wilson and all them had. It's all good though. Like I said, I'm trying to push myself to be a better songwriter, be a better singer, a better player, a better band leader, a better rhythm player, whatever it is to keep pushing it forward.
Kelly: We're all blessed with the positive musical attitude and the remarkable musical legacy you, your father Lonnie, you brother Wayne, and Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater have passed along. Thank you so very much. Wish you all the best with Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater's 3rd Annual Blues Birthday Bash and live recording and your new album as well.
Ronnie: Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Hello world,
Lets first give thanks. Thank you Katie & Brian for allowing me and trusting in me to photograph your wedding day. Your style and personality light up those around you. I wish all weddings could be just like yours. You just let me do my thing with zero direction and the result…….one of my personal favs.
I would also like to thank my new friend Neal Carpenter from Inward Studio for coming to my rescue at the drop of a hat. My assistant for the day had a family emergency and couldn't make it to the wedding. I put a fb post out and Neal was already in his car. Neal, thank you so much for your time, help and friendship to come. You blended right in as if we had shot together a hundred times. I owe you one.
Ok, so the wedding day was a long 13 hrs, but it flew by too fast. We did a Chinese Tea ceremony at Katie's home, a Korean Tea ceremony at Brian's home and then the wedding ceremony at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta all in the same day. It was a constant change of pace and tradition which kept it fresh and fun. Enjoy the images below.
Keep on clickin"

Can liberal Christianity be saved?
Our take: Efforts by churches to stay relevant and popular by changing dogmas has not kept their membership numbers from dwindling.
In 1998, John Shelby Spong, then the reliably controversial Episcopal bishop of Newark, published a book entitled Why Christianity Must Change or Die. Spong was a uniquely radical figure during his career, he dismissed almost every element of traditional Christian faith as so much superstition but most recent leaders of the Episcopal Church have shared his premise. Thus their church has spent the last several decades changing and then changing some more, from a sedate pillar of the WASP establishment into one of the most self-consciously progressive Christian bodies in the United States.

Inaugural Golf Classic (1999)
Sunny skies and mild temperatures made May 17 the perfect day for the first annual Lubin Campaign Golf Outing, which took place at the Wheatley Hills Country Club in East Williston, New York. James Anziano '77, partner at Pustorino, Puglisi & Company, chaired the Golf Outing initiative, along with Perry C. Vascellaro '51 and Edward F. Murphy '74. Although none of the more than seventy golfers in attendance made a hole-in-one, prizes were awarded for a variety of contests held throughout the day. Winners included Doug Hendrickson, who won a one-year membership to the Chemists' Club for the "Straightest Drive"; Cliff Ryerson, who won a weekend stay at the Millennium Broadway Hotel for the "Closest to the Pin"; and James Anziano, who won tickets to a New York Mets game for the "Longest Drive." The Sodexho Marriott foursome were the 1st Place Low Gross winners with a score of 74, and the Pustorino, Puglisi & Company foursome won 1st Place Low Net with a score of 70. All eighteen holes were sponsored by a variety of companies and individuals, including Bankers Trust; Deloitte & Touche; Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts; Pustorino, Puglisi & Company; Sodexho Marriott Services; KPMG; and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Funds raised by the tournament will benefit the Lubin School of Business Comprehensive Campaign, enabling Lubin faculty to engage in research and professional development activities.

Google Currents is updated and supports international
|Technology - Gadgets
|Friday, 13 April 2012 01:01
At the end of 2011 was introduced Google Currents , implementation competition to give companies like Flipboard in IOS and Android, offering the ability to read news from a large number of websites by way of "magazine" for free. Google Currents were updated to version 1.1 which, among other things, offers international support as it had hitherto been an exclusive application for users within the United States and United Kingdom.
In addition to adding news sources from all over the world, the new Google Currents can present local news according to the region where you are by way of trending stories. Also, another improvement was the integration with Google Translate which, although not always better, could be very useful to translate a fragment or full text without leaving the application. Also, the application now includes support for 44 languages.
The version 1.1 of Google Currents also adds a feature of "dynamic sync", which allows articles to be downloaded instantly when you open the application. The new content loaded "dynamically" Use the minimum possible battery of the phone or tablet, as well as bandwidth and storage space. In addition, users of Google Currents now have the option to download some editions to read offline.
Another improvement that Google Currents received the upgrade was an improvement in speed quite significant. The application is now up to seven times faster than the previous version, an improvement in performance that no doubt come in handy for users. The application can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play .

A damaged thrust bearing onboard P&O Cruises' Aurora has impacted the ship's maximum cruising speed -- and prompted the line to cancel two port calls this week.
According to an official statement from the cruise line, the damaged bearing poses no safety issues. However, because of the speed reduction, Aurora will skip its 5 March call at Wellington and 6 March call at Napier. The ship will undergo maintenance to the bearing during its scheduled call in Auckland on 7 March, after which the itinerary is expected to continue as scheduled.
The 76,000-ton, 2,000-passenger ship is currently sailing a 93-night world cruise, which departed Southampton on 11 January.

Algebraic Combinatorixx (11w5025)
Georgia Benkart (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Stephanie van Willigenburg (University of British Columbia)
Monica Vazirani (University of California, Davis)
1. Objectives and Background
Algebraic combinatorics is a broad area of research with substantial connections to representation theory, mathematical physics, algebraic geometry, number theory, knots and links, mathematical biology, statistical mechanics, symmetric functions, and invariant theory. The goal of this five-day workshop is to increase and strengthen the participation of women in algebraic combinatorics and related fields of research.
It is anticipated that half of the participants will be early career (pre-tenure or recently tenured) women faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, or graduate students working in combinatorics. The workshop will pair senior and junior researchers and have a major mentoring component. There will be survey lectures on the latest research developments given by more-established researchers and shorter talks by junior faculty members introducing their own work to the group. We expect that roughly half the time (afternoons and evenings) will be spent working in smaller groups organized by research interests, where actual research problems will be discussed. Some of these problems and topics will be proposed ahead of time along with relevant references so that participants can arrive prepared for discussions on these subjects. The conference will conclude with reports from these groups on the problem sessions. This approach fosters collaboration and introduces researchers to a broad range of ideas, techniques, and experiences.
We have been inspired to propose this workshop after the highly successful "Connections for Women Workshop on Combinatorial Representation Theory and Representations of Finite Groups and Related Topics" at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in January 2008 and the "WIN (Women in Numbers) Workshop" at BIRS in November 2008. Both programs highlighted accomplishments of women researchers while introducing younger participants to role models, potential mentors and collaborators, and important problems in the field. We expect the momentum generated by "Algebraic Combinatorixx" to have long-lasting effects far beyond the 5-day meeting. WIN activities have continued since the time of their 2008 BIRS meeting and include a conference proceedings, special sessions at national and sectional AMS meetings, and continued collaboration. WIN participants are organizing three separate special sessions at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco in January 2010. Although many women are involved in organizing and speaking in those special sessions, the majority of the speakers are male. This illustrates one of the long-term benefits of the WIN workshop and a potential benefit of the proposed workshop increased activity, visibility, and connectivity of researchers within the broader mathematical community.
We feel that BIRS is the perfect setting for the proposed combinatorics workshop, as it facilitates much mathematical communication, interaction, and networking in the seminar rooms, on the hiking trails, and at mealtime.
2. Potential Participants
The enthusiasm for the proposed workshop has far exceeded all expectations. Within 24 hours of sending out a description of the proposed workshop to gauge interest, we had received positive responses from over half of the 30 women contacted, and within less than a week's time, we had heard from virtually all of the 28 respondees below who agreed to be listed as potential attendees. The junior level mathematicians were excited about the prospect of participating and expressed the opinion that the workshop would be of great benefit to their careers. Some of the senior women offered to prepare reading lists and to help apply for grants. We will reserve the remaining places for graduate students and early career mathematicians and will apply for funding to support their travel and the travel expenses of those without grant money.
3. Conclusions and Benefits
The long-term benefits of this workshop are expected to be an increase in the participation of women in research activities related to algebraic combinatorics and related fields, a research network of potential collaborators, and visibility and connectivity for younger researchers especially those at smaller colleges or isolated in departments not having a strong research presence in combinatorics. We expect to maintain a website so that communication and collaboration can continue far beyond the five days at BIRS.
4. Format
Arrival evening 8-9:30:
2-3 minute introductory presentations from junior participants' social gathering
Lectures by Senior Mathematicians:
Lectures by Junior Mathematicians
Lunch Break: 12-2
Research Sessions and Discussions:
7-8:30 (research sessions three evenings and panel discussions two evenings' topics for discussion may include applying and interviewing for jobs, obtaining funding, the tenure process, fulfilling career responsibilities, research, teaching, advising, service balancing career and family responsibilities, parental leave,
childcare, dual career couples)

I didn't know 'till I saw this thread that he had passed away. Weird coincidence, I ate dinner last night while watching a couple of episodes off my "Andy Griffith Collection" DVD's. I think my all-time fav. is the one with the "loaded goat." His movies were great as well.

Ya'll got to remember these folks live in Hollywood,away from "real" people. Like the Rosie thing --She thinks no one should have a firearm EXCEPT her bodyguard. And when you get no input to your thinking except people who are paid to agree with you and hang out with the same kind of people. You get a little holier than thou, and start to think you are pretty bright. All most of them need is a good reality check. Too much money-and too much time on their hands.Originally Posted by ExSoldier762

Northeastern finished their season 0-4-1 in their last five games against Boston College, New Hampshire and Boston University to be knocked out of the Hockey East playoffs. Coming in, fans knew it was a rebuilding year, and in a conference like Hockey East that rebuilding year can be enough to be knocked entirely out of the postseason. So where do the Huskies stand after this rebuilding year?
For Kyle Kramer, Chris Donovan, Jimmy Driscoll and Greg Costa, 2010 was a disappointing end to their careers at Northeastern's beloved Matthews Arena. After just a year ago being in the thick of everything in college hockey (in 2009 the Huskies were ranked as high as #2 in the nation), the Northeastern Huskies seemed to revert to what is sadly a much more familiar form.
Those four seniors, who have been key members of the hockey team since arriving on Huntington Avenue's campus, will be added to the list of Northeastern hockey players who have played a full collegiate career without holding a single trophy. No Beanpot, no Hockey East title, no final entry on the resume.
Not that it's all negative. Chris Rawlings showed flashes of true talent, perhaps being capable of filling the role that Brad Thiessen filled just a year ago; a netminder that can carry NU through a bad offensive night. As Rawlings matures, the sky might be the limit.
In terms of skaters, injury recovery can only help the Huskies. Being without Steve Qualier for the entire season was a bad blow to Northeastern, Chris Donovan missed some time, as did Drew Muench, a young defender expected to make an impact. Last year's backup goalie, Mike Binnington, never ended up on the ice at all. How the Huskies recover from those injuries may determine how much of a step forward we can expect next year.
Any newcomers or newly healthy skaters will join captain Wade MacLeod as well as Tyler McNeely and Alex Tuckerman, who have all proven themselves capable scorers. Look for recruits—Greg Cronin has unquestionably raised the level of players who come to Northeastern as opposed to the Bruce Crowder era, where Northeastern was publicly happy to pick scraps from the other Hockey East powers and hope for the best. That's changed, which is fantastic because that needed to change.
Matthews Arena went through some beautiful renovations in 2010. Now 100 years old, the historic old barn has always been great for the hockey team but now is a veritable monument to the kind of old arenas that just aren't common anymore. Yet, because of the rebuilding hockey team, it was as if there were a sign on the ice saying "pardon our appearance while we redesign our team." It needed to happen, and missing the playoffs doesn't derail that schedule one bit. The future is still bright for Northeastern hockey. It's just that 2010 was an uncomfortable trip down memory lane.

Last night at Philadelphia's Tin Angel club, Gordon and his crackerjack band, guitarist-producer Quentin Jones, bass player Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Hall and Oates, etc.) and long-time Hooters drummer David Uosikkinen, who also played with Rod Stewart and Alice Cooper, performed a smoking nearly 60 minute set.
The occasion was Gordon's debuting his new album, "I'm Coming Home." From it, he performed the Johnny Horton composed title track plus "Harold Dorman's, "Mountain Of Love," "Dale Hawkin's "Little Pig," and a new song, "It's Only Love."
Attired fully in black, the 67-year-old singer was in strong voice, sounding as good as when he hit the scene back in 1977 with his first album, "Robert Gordon With Link Wray." If anything, age has deepened and warmed his baritone, particularly noticeable on the ballads.
One of the set's highlights was the very Johnny Cash-sounding "Walk Hard," co-written by Marshall Crenshaw, the composer of perhaps Gordon's most successful hit, "Someday, Someway."
Of course, many old favorites were performed, like "The Fool," The Way I Walk" and "Fire," which Bruce Springsteen wrote especially for Gordon.
Near the show's end, British guitarist Dibbs Preston from The Rockats (an Eddie Cochran look-a-like, if there ever was one) came onstage for "Low Down Weekend," a song he co-wrote for Gordon's new CD.
Closing out the show, Gordon was also joined by Reach Around The Rodeo Clowns singer Wendall Jones, for a manic "Rock Billy Boogie" and "It's Only Make Believe."
Opening act, singer-songwriter Shane Dodd, performed a brief, enjoyable acoustic set.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" has been in and out of the news recently. Between the sentencing for Apollo Nida and NeNe Leakes calling out Wendy Williams, the cast definitely knows how to stay relevant. Nida is facing eight years in a federal prison, and Phaedra Parks will be left to parent their two young sons on her own. According to a July 25 report from RumorFix, Phaedra Parks is going to take a leave of absence from Season 7 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." It looks like airing Nida's dirty laundry isn't something she is comfortable with.
The sentencing for Apollo Nida took place earlier this month. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was upset because Phaedra Parks didn't attend the hearing, and later blasted her when doing an interview. Nida's comments have started speculation about where their marriage is headed. Parks is reportedly thinking of divorcing Nida while he is serving time. There is a lot to think about, and it looks like taking some time away from the show will do Parks good.
Fans know there has been conflict between Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" because of Apollo Nida. Nida was texting Moore and trying to carry on an inappropriate relationship with her while all three were filming the show. According to a tweet, it looks like Parks may be taking the leave of absence from the show because Nida has come clean about what happened with Moore.
It is disappointing to know that Season 7 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" will not feature Phaedra Parks. Fans were looking forward to watching her cope with the tremendous damage Apollo Nida has done to their family. Reports are saying that Parks wants to return for Season 8. The new season should begin airing sometime this fall, but an official date has not been announced.

A former Hutchinson High teacher and coach has been found guilty of unlawful sexual relations. Bradly Specht pleaded no contest during a hearing today.
Specht resigned from his position at Hutchinson High School in early March. The following day he was arrested on eight counts of unlawful sexual relations with a 16-year-old Hutchinson High School student. Police said the encounters happened both on and off school grounds.
Specht is scheduled to be sentenced July 6th. He faces a possible sentence ranging from 5 to 13 months, but the presumptive sentence is probation.
Specht played basketball for Seward County in the early 90's.

Scott Fujita will return to the Superdome on Sunday under unfamiliar circumstances, lining up on the visitors' sideline for the Cleveland Browns, who have struggled to a 1-5 start this season.
However, Fujita, a former New Orleans Saints linebacker, said he doesn't feel as though he left a good situation in New Orleans for a bad one in Cleveland.
In fact, Fujita said he sees a lot of similarities between what he's going through now and what he went through in the years leading up to the Saints' Super Bowl championship last season.
"We've got to learn how to win close games and finish the right way," Fujita said of the Browns, who started the season with three consecutive losses by a combined 12 points. "It's similar to some of those years in New Orleans, 2007 and 2008 (when a series of close losses kept the Saints out of the playoffs)."
And Fujita, 31, said he has embraced his role as a veteran leader who can help teach his new teammates what he learned from experience.
"I do enjoy it. I talked all along about that being part of the draw for coming here," said Fujita, who signed a three-year deal worth a reported $14 million as a free agent last spring -- more money and long-term security than the Saints were willing to offer.
"I enjoyed that process in New Orleans. And that's what it is, a process," Fujita continued. "We have the right guys here, solid, character guys. We're building that foundation the same way that (Saints Coach Sean Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis) did such a great job of bringing in the right guys down there."
Fujita will never be forgotten in New Orleans as one of the leaders of that rebuilding effort, both on and off the field.
He was the first free agent to sign with the Saints in 2006 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Saints' dreadful 3-13 season. He become a mainstay in the starting lineup at strongside linebacker, and he and his wife Jaclyn embraced the community.
Fujita was the Saints' Man of the Year in 2009 for his combination of on-field performance and community involvement, after donating half of his $82,000 Super Bowl check to charity. And he remains committed to bringing resources and awareness to coastal-restoration efforts in the Gulf South.
Fujita likely will be welcomed back with rousing cheers from the Saints' fan base Sunday.
His ex-teammates, however, might not be so kind.
Fujita said Saints linebackers Scott Shanle and Jonathan Vilma began trash-talking minutes after both teams wrapped up their games this past Sunday, a 31-6 victory for the Saints at Tampa Bay, and a 28-10 loss for the Browns at Pittsburgh.
"Obviously, they were excited about their win," Fujita said. "On our bus ride back from Pittsburgh, they were just ripping into me."
Fujita said it will be both "weird" and extremely challenging to go up against the high-powered Saints' offense Sunday.
He actually doesn't know any of the tailbacks he'll be facing, unless veteran Pierre Thomas is able to return from a sprained ankle. But Fujita said he's impressed by what he has seen in glimpses of Saints rookie running back Chris Ivory.
On the other hand, Fujita knows quarterback Drew Brees inside and out after lining up against him in practice for four years. But he said that won't make it any easier to stop him.
Fujita said that even Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who's known for trash-talking opponents, said he couldn't find anything about Brees to criticize.
The Browns' defense ranks 23rd in the NFL in yards allowed (349) and 17th in points allowed (20.8). Fujita has been off to a solid start, tallying 33 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and two forced fumbles.
The Browns primarily play a 3-4 front, which is different than New Orleans. Fujita lines up on the outside in base packages, but he moves around quite a bit in different formations.
Fujita said Ryan's attitude is very similar to that of Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who was an apprentice under Ryan's father, Buddy.
"It's a fun, player-friendly defense," Fujita said. "The schemes aren't the same, but some of the calls and terminologies are the same, and some of the things I used to hear Gregg say, I hear Rob say. And they have the same philosophy, to get after the quarterback and create havoc."
The Browns have been less explosive on offense, where they're searching for stability at quarterback. They've already used three starters this season because of ankle injuries to veterans Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace.
Last week, rookie Colt McCoy made his starting debut against Pittsburgh and held up well under the circumstances. Fujita said everyone was proud of McCoy, a former Texas star who likely will start again Sunday in New Orleans.
A win over the Saints (4-2) would be a huge boost, obviously. And as the opponent, Fujita said there definitely is something to the notion that the Saints should expect to see every opponent's "A game" every week because they're the defending Super Bowl champs.
"That's just human nature. You feel like if you can beat that team, it makes a statement," Fujita said. "But honestly, any win at this point would be so therapeutic."

Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles don't get quite as much attention as flashier battery electrics, fuel cell cars and plug-in hybrids, but they are a compelling alternative-fuel option that is available right now. They become even more compelling when they offer dual fuel capabilities. Ford has equipped the 2014 F-150 with such capabilities, calling it the only half-ton pickup truck of its kind. Read More
With big changes likely in the global transport infrastructure, the race is on to create the missing link – the smallest, lightest man-packable form of motorized transport yet known. Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW and Nissan have all shown vehicles in this area, but none have yet hit the market. The best-of-breed is currently the Yikebike and it announced today that it has further extended its lead, lightening its US$4,000 Carbon model from 11.5 kg to 11.2 kg and extending its range to 15 km (9.3 miles). There's also now a choice of Yikebikes with two cheaper versions at 12.7 kg ($3,000) and 14 kg ($2000).Read More
Carbon capture is one of the many solutions proposed to curb emissions of CO2. But, so far, methods being used require a great deal of energy to release the captured carbon from the capture material for storage. Now researchers at the University of South Florida (USF), in a partnership with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), have announced what they claim is a more energy-efficient alternative in the shape of a cheaper, more efficient and reusable material for CO2 capture and separation.

The PNC Financial Services Group hopes to exceed LEED Platinum requirements along with promoting a healthy indoor workplace with its latest development – the Tower at PNC Plaza. Located in downtown Pittsburgh on the corner of Fifth and Wood Streets, the building will be approximately 800,00 gross sq.ft (74,322 sq.mt) in size with a construction budget of approximately US$240 million. The "breathing" design created by architecture firm Gensler moves away from the traditional closed air-conditioned environment and has the lofty aim of becoming the greenest skyscraper in the world.

Air Fuel Synthesis, Ltd. (AFS), a small company in the northern English county of Durham, has recently made headlines for a chemical process that claims to synthesize gasoline from air and water. In essence, AFS is using energy to unburn fuel so that it can be burned as fuel again – a great deal of energy. Sixty kWh of electric energy are used up to store 9 kWh of that energy in a liter of gasoline. When you take into consideration that gasoline vehicles are about 15 percent efficient, a car fueled with synthetic gasoline would use roughly 35 times more energy on a given trip than would an electric vehicle. Not, it would seem, a prescription for a commercially valuable green product.Read More
The internal combustion engine (ICE) has had a remarkably successful century and a half. Unfortunately, it's notoriously inefficient, wasting anywhere from 30 to 99 percent of the energy it produces and spews unburned fuel into the air. Last week, Gizmag interviewed Dr. Alexander Shkolnik, President and CEO of LiquidPiston, Inc. about its LiquidPiston X2 - a 40-bhp rotary engine that burns a variety of fuels and requires no valves, cooling systems, radiators or mufflers, yet promises a thermodynamic efficiency of 75 percent.Read More

A team of physicists from the University of Oregon (UO) has calculated that cooling the emissions from coal-fired power plants would result in a reduction of the levels of dangerous chemicals entering the atmosphere, including CO2, by 90 percent. While cryogenic treatment would also see a 25 percent drop in efficiency, and therefore result in electricity costs increasing around a quarter, the researchers believe these would be offset by benefits to society, such as reductions in health-care and climate-change costs.Read More
The bunker fuel used in cruise liners and freighters is some of the cheapest, crudest fuel available. It's also among the dirtiest. Scientists from the Maine Maritime Academy and SeaChange Group LLC led by George N.

This fuel uses an ingredient commonly used in food and medicine to reduce sulfur and other emissions in ocean vessels.Read More
Diesel engines are a classic example of good news and bad news. The good news is that diesel engines are much more fuel efficient than petrol engines. The bad news is that they belch out some pretty nasty emissions like nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. The good news is that catalytic converters can scrub those out. The bad news is that last Friday the platinum needed by the converters is selling for US$1,473.10 an ounce. Now the good news is that a team at Nanostellar in Redwood, California, has developed a mineral catalyst that outperforms platinum at a fraction of the cost.Read More

Now that Josh McDaniels has been fired, what does that mean exactly for the Denver Broncos' No. 25 draft pick Tim Tebow?
One Denver blogger believes that Tim Tebow should start for the remainder of the season to determine exactly what the former Florida Gators quarterback and Heisman winner's worth is to the franchise.
From the Mile High Buzz: "Is he a winner? He went 26-2 in his final two college seasons and won a national championship. And while it doesn't mean much in the NFL, Tebow won the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner. He's definitely a winner.
Can he actually lead an NFL team on the field? His preseason appearances are just that: preseason appearances. While he threw for a touchdown and rushed for a touchdown in a game against the Chiefs several weeks ago, we still don't know how he handles himself under pressure from massive NFL linemen."
This is actually a pretty good point considering much of Josh McDaniels short legacy in Denver has been tied to his risky pick of Tim Tebow in the 2010 NFL draft. I don't suspect the Broncos' offense will change much under interim head coach Eric Studesville, which means more time on the sidelines for Tebow.
So what's your take? Does McDaniels' firing spell doom for Tebow? Or could this have a positive impact on Tebow's career in Denver? Sound off.
