Material ConneXion Announces its
MEDIUM Award for Material of the Year 2010
Novacem's Carbon Negative Cement chosen as winner
Exhibition of Award Winner and 9 Honorable Mentions to Showcase the Year in Material Innovation at Material ConneXion from March 16 - April 29, 2011
New York, NY, February 4, 2011— Global materials consultancy Material ConneXion announces Novacem's Carbon Negative Cement as the winner of its second annual MEDIUM Award for Material of the Year. The award recognizes materials juried into the company's Materials Library in 2010 that demonstrate outstanding technological innovation and the potential to make a significant contribution to the advancement of design, industry, society and economy. In addition to Novacem's Carbon Negative Cement, the company is recognizing nine honorable mentions as exemplary material innovations that will change the way we design in 2011—from product and packaging to architecture.
"Our award for Material of the Year celebrates the power of material innovation to enhance the world in which we live—from our built environment to the designs that we interact with on a daily basis," said George M. Beylerian, Founder & CEO of Material ConneXion.
According to Dr. Andrew H. Dent, Material ConneXion's Vice President, Library and Materials Research, "The year in material innovation reveals a continuing drive for sustainability. Whether it's through a clever substitution of natural materials, improvements to existing ideas, or a manipulation of high-tech processes, these tougher economic times are seeing a turn to simple, creative and powerful innovations that will help lessen our impact on the planet."
Novacem's Carbon Negative Cement—a revolutionary solution to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry—is one outcome of this movement with extraordinary, far-reaching effects. By replacing the calcium carbonates used in cement formulation with magnesium silicates, and by using a low-temperature production process that runs on biomass fuels, Novacem has developed a new class of cement that offers performance and cost parity with ordinary Portland Cement, but with a negative carbon footprint.
"Concrete constitutes the greatest amount of manmade material on this planet—one that is claimed to contribute to 5% of humanity's carbon footprint," said Dr. Dent. "With a simple change of ingredient, Novacem has achieved what could be one of the single largest reductions in CO2 emissions in construction to date. This carbon negative cement reduces carbon emissions of poured concrete from 800Kg emitted per ton to 50kg absorbed per ton."
As the world's leading global materials consultancy and library, Material ConneXion has unparalleled insight into the materials, processes and emerging technologies that are having the greatest impact on design worldwide. The nine honorable mentions, which hail from the US, Europe and Asia, represent some of the most important recent material developments on a global scale. Together, they promise to increase sustainability across a wide range of industries, from products and packaging to architecture.
Among them are Dekodur's ECO-HPL, the world's first high-pressure laminate made without the use of phenol formaldehyde resins, and Blücher's Saratech® Permasorb Wallpaper, a durable wall covering that removes toxins embedded in wall surfaces and safely contains these chemicals over time.
Great advances in sustainable packaging can be seen in materials like Evocative's EcoCradle™, a biodegradable alternative to polystyrene foam made from mushrooms grown with farm waste, and in Flextrus' PaperLite®, a biodegradable paper alternative to plastic food containers. Also recognized is Henkel's MiraFoil, a low-impact, liquid coating used to produce brilliant metallic effects on numerous types of packaging substrates.
Two honorable mentions are significant for helping to significantly increase sustainability and performance in plastic. MicroGREEN's Ad-Air® is an innovative technology that utilizes waste CO2 to reduce the volume of plastic needed for packaging, and Milliken's Hyperform is a breakthrough nucleation agent cited for its ability to create stronger, lighter and more recyclable commodity plastics.
Other solutions promise to lower environmental impact in our products, display systems and signage. Top Nanosys' Lumisys™ demonstrates a pioneering use of carbon nanotubes to achieve transparent, flexible LED signboard—an innovation that allows for greater efficiency and aesthetic capabilities in advertising and electronics. There is also ECOR™, by Noble Environmental Technologies, a new line of advanced environmental composites made from recycled materials (such as cow manure and old newspapers) that can be used to make furniture, toys and a host of other products.
Material ConneXion will mount an exhibition of the MEDIUM Award for Material of the Year 2010 winner and honorable mentions in its New York City showroom from March 16 – April 29, 2011, giving the public an opportunity to see the year in material innovation.

Ad-Air® (MicroGREEN, USA)
A process that utilizes waste C02 to reduce the volume of plastic. By injecting polymer sheets with waste C02, then precisely manipulating the size and density of the gas bubbles, Ad-Air expands sheets of plastic to double the thickness while reducing density by 20%. The strength and surface integrity of the plastic is maintained, but material usage per given need is ultimately reduced as much as three times.
EcoCradle™ (Ecovative, USA)
A packaging replacement to polystyrene foam that is grown from mushrooms. EcoCradle is a radically new approach to packaging that is grown, not manufactured. This biodegradable, compostable solution utilizes agricultural waste to grow fungal mycelium, the roots of mushrooms, into a safe, protective packaging material.
ECOR™ (Noble Environmental Technologies, USA)
Construction panels made from cow manure and other recycled content. ECOR, a line of low-weight, construction panels made with bovine processed fiber and post-consumer waste, offers an energy-efficient, sustainable means of producing furniture, displays, signage and numerous other products and designs.
ECO-HPL (Dekodur, Germany)
The world's first high-pressure laminate made without the use of phenol formaldehyde resins. Unlike traditional HPLs, this carbon neutral product can be recycled back into more laminate at the end of its life. The material can significantly improve sustainability in interiors, furniture production and transportation design.
Lumisys™ (Top Nanosys, Korea)
Flexible, transparent LED Signboard. Lumisys demonstrates a pioneering use of carbon nanotubes to achieve a level of transparency and flexibility never before seen in the lighting and signage industry. The product makes it possible to achieve dramatic visual effects in signage and consumer electronics while taking advantage of the low-energy, long-lasting performance benefits of LEDs.
MiraFoil® (Henkel, Germany/USA)
A low-impact printing solution for achieving metallic effects. Long used to distinguish products in a crowded marketplace, metallic effects are used on everything from retail packaging to POP displays. While other techniques used to achieve this look render the packaging material unrecyclable, MiraFoil is a VOC-free coating that can be removed through the de-inking process, enabling the paper or polymer to which it is applied to be recycled.
PaperLite (Flextrus, Sweden)
A biodegradable paper alternative to traditional plastic food packaging. PaperLite is a new solution for protecting perishable foods and industrial products. The material contains no iso-cynates or solvents, is FDA approved, and can be used to contain meats, cheeses, electronics, ink cartridges and other products that require a pack material that provides durability, toughness and optimal barrier protection.
Saratech® Permasorb Wallpaper (Blücher, Germany)
Air-purifying Wallpaper. Saratech® Permasorb Wallpaper is an ingenious solution for combating air pollution in contaminated buildings. The durable covering removes toxins embedded in wall surfaces, like PCBs, PCP, pesticides and radon, and safely contains these chemicals over time.

Centre for Mathematical Medicine is a research initiative
aimed at bringing together research expertise in mathematics
and medicine to address the plethora of research questions
arising at the mathematics/medicine interface. With the
recent emergence of mathematical medicine as a distinct
discipline, it has become abundantly clear that an interdisciplinary
approach is essential for the successful application of
the mathematical/computational sciences to problems arising
in the medical sciences.
With the diversity of Medical Specialty
Hospitals in Toronto, as well as
the considerable concentration of applied mathematics
departments and
research groups in Ontario, a Centre encompassing all
the relevant groups
is the most suitable means of developing an integrated
and cohesive
The Centre will provide a focus
for communication between the different groups and a means
of facilitating research collaborations and grant applications
as well as play an educational role. This will involve
a combination of workshops, discussion meetings, collaborative
research projects, and short and long term visitor program
- designed to stimulate interdisciplinary research both
within Ontario and in collaboration with other research
groups across Canada. It is envisioned that the Centre
will also organize a seminar program on mathematical medicine
and annual symposia at the Fields Institute.
Teaching will also be a major part
of the Centre's activity, at an
undergraduate and postgraduate level. This will be accomplished
coordinating teaching sessions, seminars and lectures.
The Centre will initially be comprised
of members of the Teaching
Hospitals in Toronto, and the Universities of Waterloo,
Toronto, York and
Guelph, who use mathematics to provide insights into biomedical
Our aim will be to promote the application of mathematical
modeling to
medicine and the biomedical sciences and to general stimulate

Bannwart, T; Bouza, A; Reif, G; Bernstein, A (2009). Private Cross-page Movie Recommendations with the Firefox add-on OMORE. In: 8th International Semantic Web Conference, Washington DC, USA, 25 October 2009 - 29 October 2009.
Online stores and Web portals bring information about a myriad of items such as books, CDs, restaurants or movies at the user's fingertips. Although, the Web reduces the barrier to the information, the user is overwhelmed by the number of available items. Therefore, recommender systems aim to guide the user to relevant items. Current recommender systems store user ratings on the server side. This way the scope of the recommendations is limited to this server only. In addition, the user entrusts the operator of the server with valuable information about his preferences.
Thus, we introduce the private, personal movie recommender OMORE, which learns the user model based on the user's movie ratings. To preserve privacy, OMORE is implemented as Firefox add-on which stores the user ratings and the learned user model locally at the client side. Although OMORE uses the features from the movie pages on the IMDb site, it is not restricted to IMDb only. To enable cross-referencing between various movie sites such as IMDb, Amazon.com, Blockbuster, Netflix, Jinni, or Rotten Tomatoes we introduce the movie cross-reference database LiMo which contributes to the Linked Data cloud.

Review: Tasty Stacy Food Truck
Throughout my journey to try all the food trucks in Tampa Bay, one food truck I constantly crave and am always happy to find and enjoy is Tasty Stacy Food Truck. Tasty Stacy has some of the nicest owners I have ever met and is run by a family that treats their customers like their own. The food truck scene is a community and Tasty Stacy is a team player, you get the good vibe within moments of visiting her food truck. One of the original food trucks to hit the streets of Tampa Bay, Tasty Stacy has grown to become quite established (read more in my Food Truck Friday interview with Tasty Stacy).
There is not one menu item on the menu that has not amazed me. Indeed, Tasty Stacy's Italian food is better than a number of Italian restaurants in Tampa Bay that many frequent. The sandwiches are big and the bread is from Pane Rustica. The Caprese sandwich is great and has fresh, big pieces of mozzarella. The Fettuccine Alfredo and Stuffed Pasta Shells should not be missed.
Well known for her cookies and shaved ice, my choice dessert at Tasty Stacy is her Homemade Blueberry Cheesecake…literally the best cheesecake I have ever eaten in the Tampa Bay area, so good that after sharing one slice, my friends and I all bought three more. It's hard to describe what exactly makes this cheesecake so great, but once you have a bite in your mouth you will understand what I mean.
You must the Homemade Blueberry Cheesecake at Tasty Stacy. Make sure to check first if it's available as it typically sells out. Also be prepared to wait a bit for your order as Tasty Stacy draws crowds at events with its reputation and unique decor.
Tasty Stacy is one of the best food trucks in Tampa Bay and I highly recommend you visit this food truck if you haven't tried them yet, usually their Facebook page is updated with their weekly events.

Heat 125, Rockets 119
Observations from Sunday's 125-119 victory over the Rockets at AmericanAirlines Arena:
- Sunday's lesson? The same as always: Don't get Dwyane Wade angered or injured. His bruised tailbone proved to be a pain for the Rockets.
- It's nice to have LeBron James as a supporting player, isn't it?
- Ditto with Chris Bosh.
- Interesting that James Jones was among the Heat's closers. Mike Miller, though, did have his moments in this one.
- After cycling through Erick Dampier, Joel Anthony and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Heat closed the first half with Chris Bosh at center.
- Erik Spoelstra already had gone 11 deep (everyone but Jamaal Magloire) by the midpoint of the second quarter, with not a defensive stopper among the bunch.
- Luis Scola (aka Russell Brand) was filling it up early and often for the Rockets.
- Anthony played without the mask to protect his broken nose. He said it was too uncomfortable (the mask, not the nose).
- Roger Federer could not have appeared any less interested while seated courtside, sort of like watching the women's draw at the Sony.
- Miller finally "got it" in the second half, when he began to play as a scorer instead of a 3-point specialist. He twice attacked the rim for scores that got him going.
- Spoelstra said Dexter Pittman has been cleared for floor work after his late-February arthroscopic knee surgery. The odds of the 2010 second-round pick seeing action with the team this season, however, remain remote.
- Spoelstra said he is not set on a center rotation with Ilgauskas healthy again, saying he views team having four-headed center (and that's not including Bosh's minutes there).
- Of LeBron or Wade getting "rest" before playoffs, Spoelstra laughed. "I gave them rest yesterday," he said of Saturday's light practice.
- Spoelstra, on trying to force feed analytic statistics to his players, "They look at you like you're speaking a different language."
- "Relentess effort" was the top note on the Heat's pregame strategy board. Perhaps "relentless defense" might have been a better way to go.
- Of playing every position on the floor at times this season, LeBron quipped pregame, "I don't even know what I am right now."
- With ice down and temperature outside up, the Heat had dehumidifiers running courtside during warm-ups, but they were removed by tipoff.

Solange Knowles, the sister of Beyonce, is speaking out about the elevator ride with Jay-Z and Beyonce that went viral, according to ABC News on Monday. The elevator ride occurred after the Met Gala in early May and a video was released showing that Solange was physically aggressive with Jay-Z, her brother-in-law, during that ride. Solange graced Lucky Magazine with an interview which gives more details to the incident than the visual gave via the naked video.
During the interview, Solange referred to the incident with Jay-Z on the elevator as simply "that thing." She said that what is important is that her family and her are all good. She asserted that what the family had to say collectively was in the statement that they put out, and they all feel at peace with that statement. The 28-year-old sister of superstar Beyonce said that her parents instilled a true family bond within her and her sister. She stated that she and her sister have always held each other down no matter what.
Beyond referring to the aggressive incident as "that thing," Solange insists that there are now no ill feelings between her and Jay-Z, according to the Daily Mail. She claims that any ill feeling she had are in the past. They are forgotten. Obviously, Solange commented on the rib dinner's bones but left off the meat. Why she was so upset with Jay-Z is still left to speculation about Jay-Z and Beyonce's rumored-to-be-troubled relationship.
Back in May, the month when the incident occurred in an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Solange released a statement regarding the incident in which Solange kicked and tried to slap Jay-Z. The statement they released to the Associated Press said that as a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5, there had been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. The statement said that the most important this was that the family – Solange, Jay-Z, and Beyonce – have worked through the episode. They claimed that Jay-Z and Solange had both assumed their share of responsibility for what had occurred two months ago.
The brief statement at the time concluded by saying that they both acknowledge their role in the "private matter" that had played out before the public's eyes. The two claimed that had apologized to one another. They have moved forward as a united family, so they claim. After the incident, rumors of trouble in Jay-Z's and Beyonce's relationship spread like wildfire, including talk that they were headed for a separation or divorce.

Analyst Boxscore: Marathon Oil
Marathon Oil's analyst presentation day on Wednesday didn't go over great with everyone, as two analysts downgraded shares of the stock yesterday, citing concerns about expansion plans and valuation. Shares ended the day off slightly yesterday, but have gained 55% on the year so far, prompting Citigroup and Friedman Billings Ramsey to lower their ratings on the stock. Let's see how well those analysts did with the stock in the past:

Castle Crags Wilderness
Castle Crags Wilderness
After a few years of gold rush in the 1850's, the relationship between miners and Indians strained to a breaking point.
Today none are operational, and most mines have been swallowed up by the re-emerging wilderness. In 1933, concerned citizens succeeded in acquiring much of the land that became the Castle Crags State Park.
Castle Crags is one of these plutons.
Elevations range from 2,000 feet along the Sacramento River to over 6,500 feet at the summit of the highest crags. The Castle Crags area has been heavily glaciated.
Broadleaf trees such as bigleaf maple, vine maple, black oak and Pacific dogwood can be found in the area. Poison oak is also common at lower elevations.
The PCT is also accessible via Dog Trail (off of Whalen Road), from the Soda Creek exit of Interstate 5, and through the Castle Crags State Park.

College Hockey:Badgers Outduel Huskies, 4-1
Wisconsin Stays Hot, Earns Three Big Points on Road
HOUGHTON, Mich. — An impending snowstorm couldnt help the Michigan Tech Huskies put the freeze on the No. 11 Wisconsin Badger offense for the second straight night.
The Badgers got an early power-play tally from Michael Davies, and used the ensuing momentum to earn a 4-1 victory at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena Saturday night.
They got some opportunities and they buried, said Huskies head coach Jamie Russell. That was the difference between a tie game and their winning 4-1.
The Huskies had plenty of momentum early in the game as junior center Ryan Angelow unloaded a slap shot that hit the crossbar just under three minutes in. A minute and a half later, freshman center Eric Kattelus fired a long shot from the left circle that Badgers goaltender Shane Connelly kicked out just in front of Huskies captain Jimmy Kerr, but Kerr couldnt quite get to the puck.
Shane was solid when he needed to be all weekend, said Badgers head coach Eaves. He made good decisions.
Davies, a sophomore winger, worked hard to get himself open on the man advantage and sophomore defenseman Jamie McBain found him on the far side of the crease with a gaping net to shoot at. Huskies netminder Rob Nolan had nearly no chance of getting across in time. The goal, Davies eighth of the season, was also assisted by sophomore Blake Geoffrion.
The Badgers finished 1-5 on the man advantage.
Looking for the equalizer on a Huskies power play, Kattelus unloaded a cannon that Connelly snagged before it could cross the goal line.
Freshman defenseman Cody Goloubef extended the Badgers lead to two with a long blast that eluded Nolan for the goal. With the Huskies still a man short from a penalty that had just expired, freshman winger Patrick Johnson got the puck to Goloubef in perfect position for him to fire it. Captain Davis Drewiske also assisted on Goloubefs second goal of the season.
The Badgers (13-11-6 overall, 9-9-4 WCHA) started the second period with a power play, but it soon turned into a Huskies power play after Geoffrion slashed senior defenseman Mark Malekoff. The Huskies held their own on the ensuing four-on-four and cashed in on the power play.
Senior center Peter Rouleau fed the puck out to junior defenseman Geoff Kinrade in the high slot. Kinrade fired a wrist shot through traffic and over Connellys left shoulder to even the game at 2:43. The goal, Kinrades second of the season, was also assisted by assistant captain Tyler Shelast.
The guys made a good play down low and when the puck came out me, the guys just overcommitted, said Kinrade. Shelast made a nice screen in front.
The Huskies would finish 1-6 on the power play.
I thought our power play was better tonight, said Russell. We need to find a way to score some goals five-on-five.
Less than two minutes later, the Badgers had a golden opportunity to regain their two-goal lead when Davies stole the puck from sophomore defenseman Mike VanWagner, and deked Nolan. With the puck sliding toward the open net, Malekoff somehow got his stick on it and cleared it away. Nolan finished the game with 23 stops.
The trend of somewhat questionable calls for the weekend continued when Huskies winger Ryan Bunger was whistled for goaltender interference on a play in which he received a pass while crashing the net midway through the period. Luckily for the Huskies, the Badgers power play couldnt really get anything going.
Davies had another opportunity with three and a half minutes to go in the period as he skated around the net with the puck, trying for the wraparound, but Nolan stood his ground, and the Huskies were able to get the clear.
The Huskies (10-13-5 overall, 6-10-4 WCHA) regrouped for the third period, and it showed as both Shelast and Rouleau both attempted to lift the puck over Connellys left shoulder within seconds of each other. Shelasts shot hit the outside of the net, while Rouleaus was stopped.
The Badgers regained the two-goal lead 5:40 into the period when freshman defenseman Craig Johnson lifted a wrist shot over Nolans right shoulder for his first collegiate goal. Freshman center Sean Dolan and sophomore winger John Mitchell both assisted on the goal.
Shelast narrowly missed an opportunity to cut the Badgers lead in half on the man advantage halfway through the period when he took a pass from Rouleau on the top of the crease, but he fired just wide of the far post.
Dolan extended the Badgers lead to three with a laser beam of a wrist shot at 15:24. Dolan received a pass from Mitchell right in his wheel house and Nolan had little chance of coming up with the stop. The goal, Dolans fourth, was also assisted by sophomore winger Ben Grotting.
The Huskies had one last chance to get back into the game with a power play for the last 1:52 of the period, but they couldnt really get any scoring chances.
With 27 saves tonight and 19 stops on Friday night, Connelly — who allowed only two goals in the series — was awarded the Winter Carnival MVP award.

Suppose that I am typing text in MS Word (any version) and I enter a character that does not exist in the font being used. Say, I'm using Times New Roman and I type 2300 Alt X, which turns to the diameter sign "⌀", which does not exist in Times New Roman. MS Word picks it up from a different font, like Arial Unicode MS. This may mess up the typographic style, or line spacing. And this happens without notice.
Perhaps the most inconvenient feature here is that MS Word does not automatically return to the original font. Subsequent text appears in the replacement font, unless the user sees what is happening and realizes that he needs to change the font.
The question is: Can such substitutions be controlled, e.g. by specifying the font(s) to be used as backup fonts? If not, is there any reliable documentation about it?

Fate Marable: Frankie and Johnny

Fate Marable's Society Syncopators
Breaking Out Of New Orleans: 1922-1926 (JSP)
Fate Marable (piano), Zutty Singleton (drums),
Sidney Desvignes (trumpet), Amos White (trumpet), Harvey Lankford (trombone), Norman Mason (alto sax), Walter Thomas (alto sax), Willie Foster (banjo), Henry Kimball (tuba).
Recorded: New Orleans, March 16, 1924
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Fate Marable (1890-1947) is a magical name in the annals of New Orleans music—he was the most famous of the riverboat bandleaders who spread the sound of jazz up and down the Mississippi. Marable was also an early employer of Louis Armstrong and other New Orleans jazz pioneers, and mostly remembered by them as a stern taskmaster. Marable's fans were legion, and even Teddy Roosevelt was seen dancing to his band's performance of "Turkey in the Straw." Yet few alive today have heard Marable's music, and even fans who recognize his name may be unaware that the pianist left behind two tracks from a 1924 session.
These sides represent his complete recorded output, and Armstrong had left the band several years before. Even so, "Frankie & Johnny" gives us a taste of authentic riverboat music. This performance is lighthearted, danceable, swinging but not too hot—one can understand how this type of music captivated listeners from New Orleans all the way to St. Paul. The quote from Wagner in the intro is a reminder of the popularity of "jazzin' the classics" during this period. The opening melody statement sounds more like rag than jazz, but the stop-time trumpet solo is real New Orleans jazz. One wonders what a young Louis Armstrong would have done with this arrangement; perhaps it was even written with him in mind. In decades to come, jazz would go on the road, traveling to every corner of the globe, but this jazz proselytizer of the waterways will always be the remembered—rightly or wrongly, don't matter; the romance of the river is too potent to deny—as the one who started it out on its journey. Fate indeed!

March 22, 2013
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Northern Illinois junior Kim Gotlund has been named to the first All Mid-American Conference Gymnastics team based on regular season performance, the MAC Office announced Friday on the eve of the MAC Gymnastics Championships. Gotlund, an all-arounder from Wadsworth, Ill., is one of six gymnasts on the team, which was selected by league head coaches.
Gotlund has been the Huskies' top all-arounder and one of the team's most consistent gymnasts on every event in 2013. She is ranked fourth in the MAC in the all-around and has shown her consistency with seven top five finishes on floor, four on beam, three on bars and three on vault this year.
NIU Head Coach Sam Morreale said Gotlund has continued to work to improve throughout her time at Northern Illinois and has not had many off meets, or missed routines, in 2013.
"Her biggest assets this year have been her work ethic and her consistency," Morreale said. "This year, she improved and upgraded her skills on every event. She added a new skill on bars over the summer and it shows she's still working on her craft and she's going to keep climbing the mountain."
Gotlund has five scores of 38.750 or higher in the all-around this year, topped by a career-high 39.025 mark versus Kent State. He has set or tied her career-best marks in three events this season, twice scoring a 9.850 on floor and posting a 9.800 on balance beam. Her averages rank among the NIU team leaders on every event.
A year ago, Gotlund was named to the second team All-MAC squad based on her fifth-place finish in the All-Around competition at the MAC Championships. Morreale was happy to see the Huskies represented on the first regular season All-MAC team selected by the head coaches.
"It's a great honor for Kim and it's great for NIU gymnastics," Morreale said. " For her to get that respect and recognition as a junior says a lot. Being a part of the first All-MAC team selected by the coaches and not based on where you finish in the conference meet speaks to the consistency she has shown this year."
Also named to the All-MAC first team were Kent State's Rachel Guida and Marie Case, Brittney Emmons of Ball State, WMU's Kayla Weber and Brittany Petzold of Central Michigan.
Previously, All-MAC honors were awarded only for placing at the MAC Championships meet. NIU's last first team All-MAC honorees based on that criteria were Holly Reichard and Jennifer Naughton, who shared the balance beam title in 2009. This year, a separate All-MAC Championships team will also be announced at the conclusion of the Championships on Saturday.
Gotlund and her Huskie teammates are in Kalamazoo for the 2013 MAC Gymnastics Championships, which will be held at Western Michigan's Read Fieldhouse beginning at 1 p.m. (CDT) Saturday, March 23. To follow the live scoring, click here.
Live video streaming of the meet is also available on Western Michigan's official athletics website, wmubroncos.com, click here.

Junior is a one year old cat that was rescued from a feral colony by a caring individual. One kitten stood out amongst the rest with his display of an array of medical issues. He was taken for a medical examination, but by the time the rescuers had a firm diagnosis of a portosystemic shunt, Junior was displaying most of the symptoms.
A portosystemic shunt, otherwise known as a liver shunt, is a condition where the blood vessel bypasses the liver, thus preventing the blood from being detoxified. The circulating blood that has been diverted (shunted) around the liver moves directly to the heart. The blood continues to be circulated throughout the affected animal's body without being detoxified.
The build-up of toxins in the system can cause hepatic encephalopathy. Symptoms such as circling, running into walls, head pressing, blindness, sudden aggression, drooling, and seizures may occur. Upon diagnosis, the veterinary team at UC Davis said they needed to get Junior stabilized before a seizure killed him.
"Junior was the last of the feral kittens that I caught (that numbered over 60 kittens), and it breaks my heart that he had to go through all of the episodes before we found out what was truly wrong with him," said his caregiver. "When my friend who helped with Junior's care called me and asked if I would take him back into my home, I said yes. After all, I caught him so he could have a better life. Junior might be little, but he has a big attitude!"
According to Cornell Feline Health Center, liver shunts are often the result of embryonic blood vessels that have failed to close, or from blood vessels that are not normally present in the fetus that bypass the liver.
The caregivers have noted that the prescription diet and medications have helped Junior, but he is still in need of surgery to repair the liver shunt with an ameroid ring constrictor which will slowly constrict the vessel over time until it closes off.
Junior is currently stable, but has experienced many small hepatic episodes while awaiting surgery.
The caregivers have applied for grants to help fund the surgery needed, but so far have been denied. It's all up to private donations right now with a goal of $7,000.

Has anyone went out on disability with this disease or considering it?
It is difficult to try and be a good father, husband, deal with my two hour plus commute and keep it together at work.
How does everyone do it?

There is someone in our "family" from Canada who is at least temporarily on disability. It is difficult for me to compare the systems between countries and I don't believe it is easy in any of them in any case. A two hour commute is not easy for any one. While you are browsing the DS site, watch the ads that pop up because I distinctly remember having seen something recently about disability and it may even have been directly related to acromegaly - the way the ads on this site are tailor made to pick up on key words from what we read or what we type. If you are considering going after Social Security disability, be prepared for a long battle, no matter what your circumstances are. I've been close to some people who have been through some unbelievable situations....

I actually went on long term disabilty starting the week before my surgery. I had to use up 45 sick days before it kicked in...I thought after my surgery I would go back to work within a month...my surgery went very well but I was sooo fatigued and mylevels went down slowly so I stayed out of work till feb and then I went back part time and until this september....I don't think that is what you meant...I have read on this site an dothers peoples quesitons about SSI etc.....I have worked with indiviuals who have appied for other reasons ...the system is not easy to tap into... but this is something you really need to talk to about with your doctors....first..
I was sooo fatigued and then they put me on Iron pills and I htink that has made a huge difference...I was only slightly anemic...but it helped....hope this helps...

I applied a year ago. Was turned down 2 times and was scheduled for a hearing. The judge reviewed my case before the hearing and I was approved. I did most of it myself on line then after getting turned down 2 times decided to contact a lawyer. I also wrote my state senetor and recieved a answer in 2 weeks. Very frustrating and long drawn out ordeal. My family doctor wrote in my behave that I was not able to work any longer do to my physical conditions (from acromegaly) and depression. Waiting for my 1st disability check which will be in Oct. Hope this helps. Oma2

well here it has not been too bad, we applied for long term disability and was approved, we had an appointment with medical docs, they asked a lot of questions, also you can work as much as you want, and still get it, they said because it was disease that will always have to be monitored it was classed as a long term medical prob,(Disability)if fact our local doc said she would need life long followup and sent this along to the Board. if you need any more info please ask away.

Good weekend for the visiting teams. LSU goes into College Station, Texas, finds itself quickly trailing 12-0, then fights back to claim a meaningful 24-19 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies.
In a way, it was a Saturday-Sunday doubleheader that seemed to touch all the bases.
LSU-Texas A&M was pretty much a throwback to old-fashioned, in-your-face football. Saints-Bucs, on the other hand, was anything but three yards-and-a-cloud-of dust.
The Tigers proved you could get penalized a season-high 13 times, pass for a season-low 97 yards, and still find a way to win.
Meanwhile, consider the feelings of Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman.
He showed us you could spend the day passing for 420 yards and three touchdowns, and it still wasn't enough if you happened to be in a game with Drew Brees, who passed for 313 yards, and four touchdowns, in the first half, this on a day when the total passing yards were three shy of 800.
On Sunday, Josh Freeman would share his suffering with teammate Vincent Jackson, who was on the receiving end of a 95-yard pass that gave the Bucs a first-and-goal at the Saints' 1-yard line.
Jackson will be haunted by replays of being chased down by Malcolm Jenkins, and it will be a slow death. With the Bucs needing one yard to come within one point of tying the score, the package will include a four-play goal-line stand by the Saints, followed by a Brees-engineered 95-yard touchdown drive that helped put the game away.
For Brees, the 95-yard march followed drives 80, 80, 79 and 72 yards.
All in a day's work.
For Aaron Kromer, Sunday's win was a fitting farewell for an interim coach whose optimism never wavered.
"We have a resolve in our locker room that I keep telling you guys about and you're starting to believe it,'' he said. ''This is a group that never gives up, that keeps battling.''
For the 2-4 Saints, it remains a daunting battle.
It's not a question of trying to catch the leader in your division, the 6-0 Atlanta Falcons.
It's more a question of making the playoffs.
The odds?
They're long, but the next seven weeks will tell us how long.
Starting with Sunday night's visit to Denver to deal with Peyton Manning, the Saints will be an underdog, or no better than a tossup in every outing, against the Eagles and Falcons at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Raiders on the road, followed by the 49ers (home), Falcons (away) and Giants (away).
Obviously, it's difficult to ask much more of Brees. But the quarterback's burden won't lighten.
With the Bucs in position to come up with a tying TD on Sunday, there was No. 9 on the sideline, getting loose, thinking he might be called to throw for what would have been his fifth touchdown to pull it out in overtime.
For these Saints, the main question doesn't figure to change: Can the defense keep the game within reach of an offense that largely rests on the arm of the quarterback?
Let us take leave of the NFL and move on to the campus.
What about the postseason hopes of the LSU Tigers?
We'll have that answer in a hurry.
Las Vegas already has told us what it thinks of No. 1 Alabama, which will show up in Tuscaloosa on Saturday as a 24-point favorite over unbeaten Mississippi State.
A burning question for Tiger fans: How much of a favorite would Bama be over LSU at Tiger Stadium on Nov. 3?
If the Crimson Tide handles Mississippi State as expected, I'm guessing Bama would be favored by a little more than a touchdown, close to double-digits, in the Morning Line.
For the Mad Hatter, and his now 7-1 football team, the challenge is crystal clear: Upset Alabama, defeat Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Arkansas, then defeat Florida for the SEC championship, then defeat Oregon for the BCS championship.
See how easy a computer can make it.
Les Miles did have a warning for Nick Saban. He liked the final play of the Texas A&M game, the one in which the Aggies threw six laterals in an attempt to score, a play that ended with Barkevious Mingo recovering a fumble.
"They got credit for six passes and we only got one turnover,'' Miles said. "We're going to try to mimic it.''
Bama beware.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Center for Native American Youth has debuted its first public service announcement, which features Boston Red Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
Former U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota founded the Washington, D.C.-based center. He also appears in the spot, along with Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians.
The center premiered the spot Wednesday for tribal leaders attending the National Congress of American Indians annual conference in Portland, Ore.
The 30-second PSA describes Native American youth as the "most at-risk population" in the country. It says the youth center works to prevent teen suicide and improve awareness of other challenges Native youth face, including poverty, health disparities, substance abuse and gang activity.
The center also produced two radio PSAs. It's working to broadcast the spots in cities and towns with large Native American populations across the country.

Is this a rehash if the Elmer Frombach Sighting, also out of WA State, somewhere ??
Then there's this..
When Elmer Frombach, a part-time prospector from Seattle, Washington, took his family on an outing near the Canadian border, he came home with one of the most amazing Bigfoot sightings on record.
Elmer had just begun taking ore samples on a trail near a hillside, when he suddenly realized he was not alone:
"I saw a big black hairy mass. And at that time I kept thinking in my mind I've got to find a way to scare it, and I fired a shot above its head, and it turned just slightly, and then proceeded to walk down the trail as though I wasn't even there. And as it walked away from me, it took perfect, human-like strides, down the trail, only like a giant man. This thing had crouched down at the end of the trail and it picked up a rock, the size of a basketball, and was using it to bang against the other rocks that again made a slight-sideways turn, just enough to see me out of the corner of it's eye. I was scared and I wanted to get out of there. I kept running down the hillside and the thing was in hot pursuit the whole way."
Elmer is confident the creature he saw was Bigfoot:
"What I saw there was a living creature and not some figment in my imagination. Modern science hasn't absolutely proven…that this thing exists. But I tell you, quite frankly, I've seen one. I know it exists. And there is no doubt in my mind."
However, eyewitness accounts like Elmer's are not enough evidence to convince skeptics.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. – For all of their hard work in Games 2 and 3 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Islanders still couldn't find a way to shut down Sidney Crosby.
Pittsburgh's captain missed the series opener due to the broken jaw he suffered in a game against New York on March 30. But Crosby had two first-period goals in Game 2, just hours after being cleared to play, then set up three goals – including the overtime winner – in Pittsburgh's 5-4 victory Sunday.
The Islanders know they can't let Crosby continue to pile up points if they hope to win the series. But knowing that they need to shut him down and doing it are two different things.
"We have to be aware of him on the ice," Islanders forward Kyle Okposo said after practice Monday. "He's hurt us the past couple of games. We have to know where he is at all times and try to play him hard, try to finish our checks.
"We know that he's going to create opportunities, he's going to have chances. We have to accept that and make sure those second and third opportunities aren't there. We're going to try to take away some of his time and space."
The Islanders aren't having any more success against Crosby in the playoffs than they've had in the regular season. In 41 games against New York, he has 20 goals and 75 points.

I just wrote a very long blog post with details of Solar powered Cars and the pros and cons of their development and scalability. Unforunately the whole thing was deleted, and I don't have time to re-write something. I have also recently considered the implications of transport cost when developing renewbale energy technology and specifically carrying out large scale installations for renewable energy.
The main point of these posts is that we should be focusing as much effort as possible on development of renewbale energy transport networks such as Solar cars or electric cars fuelled by a network of solar charging stations, as well as development of fuel cell technologies and adoption of these!

On March 18, 2014, the creator of the Drudge Report, Matt Drudge, declared, "Rupert Murdoch is the greatest living newsman on earth." Drudge added it was unlikely there would ever be another as brilliant as Murdoch at "fracturing" the media landscape. However, with Murdoch currently under the "threats of DOJ punishment for UK wrongdoing," Drudge wondered if "even the great Rupert Murdoch" might be "contained by Obama."
During Obama's presidency, the Drudge Report has pushed a continuous board of stories highlighting what Drudge considers to be attempts of the Department of Justice (DOJ), headed by Eric Holder, to silence the voices of those who cherish liberty. Drudge, cryptic and eccentric as he might be considered, has not been subtle.
Back in January, amid Drudge Report headline links to multiple stories of arrests, indictments and alleged harassment of high profile conservative critics of President Obama and his administration, Drudge made a couple of cold tweets aimed straight at Holder:
- They are going after the Obama critics with indictments. VA Gov. Now Dinesh D'souza. Holder unleashing the dogs...
- Holder dangling 'indictments' over News Corp's head too. Behavior modification... http://ind.pn/1dzu48O
Liberal news sites jumped on Drudge's tweets with indignant accusations. Politico and Media Matters cried foul, accusing Drudge of stoking "coals of conspiracy." (Refer to: "Drudge's 'Holder unleashing the dogs' D'Zouza tweet spurs liberal backlash")
On the Drudge Report, President Obama's administration has shown marked interest in the current Murdoch empire investigation in England. Drudge has chronicled those articles on his website. News coming from the White House that if Scotland Yard can't bring down Murdoch, the FBI is ready and prepared to go after Murdoch have raised some eyebrows in conservative circles.
In the meantime, like Drudge, Murdoch has a Twitter page and his comments are frequent and lively. Murdoch's tweets are surprisingly even handed regarding President Obama, whom he often refers to as "POTUS" or even "OPTUS" in a rare typo.
If Murdoch is worried by the threat that Holder might be trying to contain him, it doesn't show. The bulk of Murdoch's criticism for Obama has been focused on Benghazi while he constantly urges Obama to be an education president.
Murdoch speaks with passion and consistency of his belief that Obama is right to be concerned about inequality, right on immigration as he stresses his belief that education is the only solution to level the economic field for poorer Americans. In his mind, stretching the minds of Americans is far better than stretching the welfare reach.
Murdoch tweeted that a "Welfare state [is] great if [it is a] real safety net and not so big to provide alternative life style." On Obamacare, Murdoch quipped Obama should rename it, "Pelosi-care" in order to share the burden of his signature legislation.
On journalism, certainly a passion Murdoch shares with Drudge, Murdoch once was quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying:
The future of journalism is more promising than ever, limited only by editors and producers unwilling to fight for their readers and viewers, or government using its heavy hand either to over-regulate or subsidize us. From the beginning, newspapers have prospered for one reason: the trust that comes from representing their readers' interests and giving them the news that's important to them. That means covering the communities where they live, exposing government or business corruption, and standing up to the rich and powerful.
Matt Drudge's praise for Rupert Murdoch may seem to many to be a slap in the face of the Obama administration. Matt's comment, that "New 'journalism rules' from Holder describe 'official duties as member of news media.' I didn't realize First Amendment required membership!" defines how sacred First Amendment rights are to Drudge. As often is the case, there is a Drudge Report headline thread today of stories related to journalism oppression, reflecting Obama's alleged "Fear of coverage."

Living Relationship
Finding Harmony With Others
by Scott Kiloby
Description: Living Relationship is the latest book by Scott.
In this e-book, Scott is using innovative methods to penetrate through self-limiting beliefs as they show up in relationship. In relationship, we tend to focus outward, seeking outside ourselves and trying to change or control others. Scott invites us to turn attention to the deficient self that is running the show in those moments, and to see through that self using one of three inquiries in the book.

"In the Boomerang Inquiry, it is possible to move through intense emotions really quickly. I went from deep sadness to overwhelming panic in about four minutes. Also, the inquiries are like drilling a hole through layers of sedimentary rock – through whatever has been deposited over the years (beliefs, emotions, sensations, stories, identities and so on). Love it!"

I have set up a global shortcut to do something on my Mac (open up AckMate), the only problem is that within Aquamacs it still captures the key combination as an Emacs command (and says cmd+ctrl+f is undefined). Is there a way to get Aquamcs to ignore this key combination and allow my Mac keyboard shortcut to get activated?
Aquamacs intercepts all keyboard input in its editor before triggering menu items, which is how you implemented your "global hotkey". You'll notice that pressing e.g.
You need a third party application, such as Butler or FastScripts, that selectively intercepts keyboard input even before it reaches your application, and implement your keyboard shortcut independent from regular menu item keyboard shortcuts.

With pitchers and catchers reporting to Lakeland, Florida today for the unofficial start to Spring Training for the Detroit Tigers , let's talk some MLB on another cold February in the Motor City Below you will find my predictions for the 2014 MLB season. We'll start with the National League.
The N.L East was won by the Atlanta Braves last season and it took a late season surge for the Washington Nationals to finish ten games back of Atlanta. This season, I see Washington taking the division crown, followed by the Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. I have the New York Mets pegged for fourth place, followed by the Miami Marlins.
The N.L. Central was taken by the St. Louis Cardinals last season while both the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates secured Wild Card berths. I expect these three teams to once again battle for the division championship. Give me the Reds to outlast the field, followed, by the Cards and Pirates. I have the Chicago Cubs in fourth place, followed by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Over in the N.L. West the Los Angeles Dodgers are the defending champs. This season, I have the San Francisco Giants topping the division in 2014, followed by the Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies respectively.
Moving on to the American League, the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox are the top dog. Look for them to once again take the A.L. East, followed by the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees. I have the Baltimore Orioles pegged for the No. 4 sot, followed by the Toronto Blue Jays in what should be a very hard fought division race between all five teams.
The A.L. Central has been owned by the Detroit Tigers and I see them squeezing out another division crown in 2014. Look for the Kansas City Royals to finish as a close second, followed by the Cleveland Indians. I have the Minnesota Twins in the four spot, followed by the Chicago White Sox.
Finally, the A.L. West features the Oakland A's as the defending champions. I have the Texas Rangers winning the crown, followed by the A's and Los Angeles Angles. The Seattle Mariners will be a feisty team and finish fourth, followed by the Houston Astros.

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">TUCSON</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Ariz.</st1:State> ? Less than a week after announcing the acquisition of ATP professional Taylor Dent to their staff, the University of Arizona men's tennis coaches made another big announcement. Jay Goldman, a 5-star star recruit, has signed his national letter of intent and will be joining the team in the fall.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>

Goldman, a native of <st1:City w:st="on">Worcester</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Mass.</st1:State>, is among the nation's top junior players, and is the highest rated recruit in the recent history of <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State> men's tennis. "This is the first big recruit for Tad (Berkowitz, head coach) and I," said assistant coach Tom Lloyd. "We're excited to have him, and we're planning on him being a major contributor next season."

<o:p> </o:p>

According to TennisRecruiting.net, Goldman was a perfect 27-0 during his 2006 junior campaign, the only top prospect to accomplish such a feat. He finished that season as No. 19 on the national recruiting list, but was No. 4 among rankings based on TennisRPI. Recently, Goldman defeated former <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Illinois</st1:place></st1:State> player and college tennis No.1 Ryler Deheart in the second round of qualifying for the USA F5 Futures tournament.

Despite getting "cut sparring yesterday," Tyson Fury is "still fighting" Joey Abell on Saturday at the Copper Box Arena in London, England.
Fury (21-0, 15 KOs) was initially slated to throw fists with David Haye in September.
Unfortunately, a few weeks before their tussle, the 33-year-old Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) suffered a gash above his left eye while training and was deemed unfit to compete.
The match was permanently nixed after Haye underwent shoulder surgery in November.
"Look, I got cut sparring yesterday," said Fury, 25, who most recently exited the squared circle on April 20 with a seventh round knockout victory over American Steve Cunningham. "Should I do a 'Hayemaker' and pull out of my next fight? (Expletive), no! I'm still fighting!"
Although not exactly akin to Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier, a bout pitting Fury against Haye would have been intriguing and become the biggest scrap on British soil in decades.
Meanwhile, with the "Hayemaker" indefinitely shelved, the 32-year-old Abell (29-7, 28 KOs) was knocked onto Queer Street by Kubrat Pulev on December 14.
A 6-foot-4 southpaw, Abell could pose problems for the 6-foot-9, 257-pound Fury.
Ultimately, expect Fury to floor "Minnesota Ice" and emerge triumphant this weekend.
Regardless of what occurs, in stark contrast to David Haye, at least Tyson Fury is "still fighting."

Amazon.co.uk sent out an email update April 18 to those who have ordered the extended version of Mark Lewisohn's "The Beatles: All These Years, Volume 1 – Tune In." The email said the delivery date for the book is to be April 29 to May 1, though that estimate may not include shipping times to the U.S., which would, of course, make it take longer.
The book was reprinted because of demand after the first printing of the bigger version quickly sold out. The smaller mass market version has been available in the U.S., but the extended version is only available in the UK because the U.S. publisher, Crown Archetype, chose not to offer it here. U.S. buyers interested in getting it can only get the printed version since the longer ebook version is not available for sale in the U.S., either.
The UK publisher, Little Brown, announced in March the extended version would be reprinted again. The ordering price of the hardcover extended edition is £80.64 ($134.94 USD). Third-party vendors have asked nearly $500 for the book.
The extended edition originally came out in November, a month after the abridged version, and it quickly sold out, as did an instant reprint. The abridged version was a New York Times bestseller for a short time.
Lewisohn explained in an interview with this writer that his book made a point not to use the same people usually found in Beatles books. "I got tired of reading other books on the Beatles where the author would go to Liverpool and say, 'Who here knew the Beatles?' and the same half dozen people stick their hands up in the air and you see them quoted in every book. And it's never anything fresh because they told it. And I knew there were lots of other people as well.
"I've just got so many now from this point on they're going to be considered major witnesses to events and key friends and participants in the story that no one's ever heard of before. And they're all in this book."

On two walls at East Wacker Drive (lower level), there are several artworks depicting Chicago history. These are in a pedestrian tunnel below Lower East Wacker Drive. (Beginning at Congress Parkway (500 south) at its southern end between Franklin Street and Canal Street, Wacker Drive goes north to just north of Lake Street (200 north) where it turns east and goes to Lake Shore Drive. Between Congress Parkway and Columbus Drive (the last main street before Lake Shore Drive), Wacker has two levels. Vehicles wishing to go onto Lake Shore drive in any direction will need to enter it using Lower Wacker Drive.) The concrete walkway and bicycle path leading to the pedestrian tunnel is along the Chicago River's southern side, less than 100 feet from the river.
This art depicts Chicago from its founding in 1837 to the 20th century. There are construction scenes, Chicago River scenes, flora, fauna and people. This art has the Realism Style in colorful illustrations/drawings.
The art is on two, tiled, ceramic walls, 24 pieces total. The smallest pieces are three, square tiles wide and two, square tiles high. The largest ones are seven, square tiles wide and four, square tiles high. There are more large pieces that there are small pieces.
This exhibits official title is Riverwalk Gateway. Ellen Lanyon is the artist. This exhibit's dedication was June 24, 2000.
Some of the art have current, 3-D representations, like Buckingham Fountain. (This fountain lacks bucking hams—animated pigs in either 2D or 3D format.) There is a 2-D depiction of Aladdin's, huge head; its 3-D representation was at Chicago's Riverview. (Riverview Park closed its gates in 1967. Aladdin's head lacks a flying carpet underneath it in either 2D or 3D format.)
You can be reasonably certain that there is historical, Chicago art in Chicago's museums. (The Chicago Historical Society likely has a lot. Some historical art may even be hysterical.)

College Hockey:Penn State Makes it Official: Varsity Programs on the Way
Penn State will start men's and women's varsity hockey programs and build an on-campus arena behind what the school's president called an "unprecedented act of philanthropy."
An $88 million gift from alumnus Terry Pegula and his wife Kim is launching the men's program and the project to build an arena with a capacity of around 5,000-6,000 fans.
Penn State president Graham Spanier said at a news conference Friday in State College, Pa., that the Pegulas' donation was the largest private gift in the university's history.
The men's and women's programs will play in the school's existing on-campus rink in the Greenberg Indoor Sports Complex when they debut as independents in the 2012-13 season. They also will play as independents in the existing rink, which can hold 1,350 fans when standing room is included, in the 2013-14 season.
The teams will join conferences and open the new arena in the 2014-15 season, athletic director Tim Curley said.
Curley did not disclose which conferences the teams would join, saying the school hasn't had time to have those discussions.
He said he would work with the Big Ten Conference, of which Penn State is a member, and the college hockey community "to determine the appropriate conference affiliation."
Penn State will be the sixth Big Ten school to have a men's hockey team, reaching the threshold for inclusion as a conference if the schools band together.
Sources indicated earlier this week that a 2014-15 start date for a Big Ten hockey conference was being discussed, but a conference statement Friday said the formation of a league wouldn't happen "without a significant amount of discussion both internally with conference chancellors, presidents, administrators and coaches, and externally with the hockey community as a whole." (Read the full statement here.)
Said Curley: "Our goal here is to work with the hockey community and make sure that we continue to advance the sport. We have no intentions of hurting any conference or hurting college hockey."
Curley indicated that the women's team likely would join a conference based in the East.
'A Great Thing You're Doing for Hockey'
Terry Pegula is the founder and former CEO of East Resources, Inc., a natural gas exploration and development company. In July, he sold the company to Royal Dutch Shell for a reported $4.7 billion.
At Friday's news conference, Pegula said being involved in his sons' youth hockey experiences and seeing how it helped shape them was instrumental in the decision to donate the money.
He added that news of the impending announcement reached a Pittsburgh Penguins golf event he attended on Thursday. At that event, he said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby shook his hand and said, "Mr. Pegula, this is a great thing you're doing for hockey."
"We will now see through the hard work of the Penn State family that our passion will be shared with the families and communities of the region surrounding Penn State," Pegula said in a statement. "We expect that Penn State will become a destination, not just for top college players and coaches, but also for the growing base of hockey fans from across the Commonwealth and the country."
The donation will support the men's hockey program via an endowment.
"Penn State will now be launching an ambitious campaign to ask other donors to join Terry and Kim in supporting this facility and the creation of other endowments to support the hockey and skating programs," Rod Kirsch, Penn State's senior vice president of development and alumni relations, said in a statement. "Our goal is to make this arena, and the vast array of activities to be held in it, the national model by which all other programs are measured."
Plans revealed at the news conference show the arena holding two rinks. It's situated near the Bryce Jordan Center, the on-campus basketball arena.
Exact seating numbers and a cost won't be known until the school hires an architect, a move that is coming soon, Curley said.
The Penn State athletic department hopes the men's hockey program can be a revenue generator.
"We fully anticipate this will be a tough ticket to get," Curley said.

Data Sources
The 1997–2004 Multiple Cause of Death PUF, 2000 U.S. Census.
Study Design
We calculated life expectancy at birth for black and white men and women.
Data Extraction Methods
Data were obtained by the NCHS and U.S. Census Bureau.
Principal Findings
States with small racial differences are due to higher-than-expected life expectancy for blacks or lower-than-expected for whites. States with large disparity are explained by higher-than-average life expectancy among whites or lower-than-average life expectancy among blacks.
Heterogeneous state patterns in racial disparity in life expectancy exist. Eliminating disparity in states with large black populations would make the greatest impact nationally.

That was the great thing about the puzzles! It forced you to think outside the box and decipher the machinations of a long dead alien civilization, what did they value? What purpose would this room have served to them, and from there, what would an item I find in here be used for? The game was brilliantly structured, everything was so fantastically minimalist and subtle. Of course you'll need to do a bit of dusting and fixing, this place has been untouched for centuries, millenia even! Damn i feel like playing it right now.
No, the game is not like Monkey Island or Grim Fandango. If you buy the game expecting it to be like them you will be dissapointed. That's like comparing an episode of LOST to an episode of The Simpsons or Family Guy. They may share the same medium, but the tone, pace and style are TOTALLY different. But who knows? You might like both, and it'd be a crime for you not to give The Dig a go, even if you don't like it.
