College Hockey:Freshmen Lead Merrimack Past Queen's, 13-0
Five Goals, 10 Assists For First-Timers
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Freshmen scored five goals and added ten assists as Merrimack defeated Queen's University of Canada in an exhibition game, 13-0.
The Warriors, picked unanimously by the Hockey East coaches to finish last this season, got two goals and two assists from rookie Matt Johnson and junior Tim Reidy. Junior Marco Rosa added a goal and three assists, while rookies Brent Gough and Rob LaLonde each had a goal and two assists as did sophomore Steve Crusco.
"The goals are nice, but I was real pleased with the way we competed," said Merrimack coach Chris Serino, making his return to the bench this season after winning his battle with cancer last year. "It was eight, nine, ten and we were still going like hell in the offensive zone, the defensive zone, backchecking.
"If we can keep that kind of intensity the whole season, then we'll be all right."
Joe Exter and Casey Guenther combined for 25 saves and the shutout for Merrimack, which outshot Queen's, 46-25.
Merrimack led 3-0 after one, and 7-0 after two against the Gaels, who fell to Providence on Friday night, 5-1. The Warriors scored six goals on special teams, four on the power play and two shorthanded.
Crusco gave the Warriors the only goal they would need just 31 seconds into the game when he converted a feed on the doorstep from Reidy past Gael netminder Rob Purdy.
Johnson made it 2-0 at 6:42 with a power play goal.
"Rosa got a pass from Gough in the corner and passed it to me on the backdoor, and I just one-timed it in," said Johnson.
"I think we're coming together as a team. We're really meshing well together, our whole team is. Last year, I guess they didn't play so well as a team, but this year our whole motto is playing well as a team. They picked us last, so hopefully we'll turn some heads."
Midway through the period, Reidy scored his first of the night when he slipped a pass from Crusco underneath a sliding Purdy to make it 3-0.
Alex Sikatchev scored the Warriors' fourth goal 3:21 into the second, and then Johnson scored a carbon copy of his first goal at 9:09 for a 5-0 lead.
Gough and LaLonde rounded out the scoring in the second. LaLonde's goal came off a slap shot on the power play.
Both teams changed goaltenders to start the third. Dan Robson came in for Purdy (23 saves) in the Gael net, while Guenther replaced Exter (18 saves) for Merrimack.
Robson fared no better, surrendering six goals on 16 shots. Reidy and Brendon Clark scored shorthanded goals for the Warriors, while Nick Torretti added a power play goal and Rosa, Ryan Cordeiro and rookie Nick Pomponio found the back of the net at even strength.
But after building a commanding 7-0 lead after two, Johnson said the goal in the third was to get the shutout.
"We were pretty much just trying to play defense. The score was getting up there, and I know Queen's was kind of tired from the night before, they played Providence last night and have to play BC tomorrow. It's a tough road trip for them."
"We tried to play defense first and generate offense off of that," said Torretti. "We didn't make any stupid plays. We just got the puck low and did a little work."
"We worked hard at conditioning and being in shape," said Serino. "I think we're stronger than we were, and we played more like a team than we have in the past. Can we be consistent? We'll see. We are very young."
Merrimack opens its regular season at home Oct. 12 against Union. Queen's plays its third game in less than three days Oct. 6 at Boston College.

So ladies, we think it's time for a male perspective: What are some of their secret faves (ahem, aside from that) that they'd like to see here on ol' Outblush? We went to one of our favorite tweeters, dkirkward, for the skinny. You can check out his blog, Discoveries of the Unemployed, for more insights into health, wealth, and Diet Coke.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'll let you know that I don't have a big sweet tooth. I enjoy dessert every now and then, but I'd rather stuff myself full of french fries than get a slice of pie. That may all change though, now that I've discovered Ciao Bella Gelato and Sorbetto ($8). Trolling the grocery store aisles last night, I was drawn to the frozen food section, and being that I'm health conscious (to a degree), I gravitated toward the sorbet and frozen yogurt. My eyes were attracted to the artistic packaging of Ciao Bella, so I gave it a closer look and was instantly hooked. Before me sat a treasure trove of interesting flavors: gelatos ranging from Chocolate Jalapeno and Dulce De Leche to Malted Milk Ball and Maple Ginger Snap (oh but there are so many more flavors). While gelato is good, I'm more of a sorbet fan, and Ciao Bella didn't disappoint. As I perused their sorbet flavors I had a tough time choosing between Blackberry Cabernet, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit...until I saw the Coconut. I popped open a pint of Coconut after getting home and instantly transported myself back to the poolside I remember in Cabo. And with each serving (four in a pint) coming out to 190 calories, I can still indulge while keeping the pounds away.

Syosset Triplex
565 Jericho Turnpike,
8 people favorited this theater
This one-time single screen UA house on Jericho Turnpike was just ¼ mile west of the more impressive Cinema 150.
Originally constructed as a modern single screener in around 1955, it was built for the Skouras chain and was equipped with Todd-AO. Seating was provided in orchestra and balcony levels.
It was triplexed many years back, and finally razed for retail space in the early-1990's.

Tinseltoes, I love these Boxoffice magazines that you've posted. Do you know of any place that sells old copies?
Does anyone from the NYC/Long Island region have access to Newsday (or other Long Island newspaper) on microfilm? I'm seeking confirmation of the closing date of the roadshow run of "Funny Girl" at the Syosset Theater. Did "Funny Girl" play right up to the Jan 28th, 1970 opening of "Paint Your Wagon"?
All old issues of Boxoffice are posted on their website, Boxoofice.com, look for "The Vault" section to find them.
You can see ads for both, last week for "Funny Girl" and opening ad for "Paint Your Wagon" here on page 17 of The Long Islander, a weekly paper based in Huntington. This site has many archived LI papers.
December 16 1983, the beginning of the end for this grand lady. Triplex opening ad in photo section.
I'm aware "Oklahoma!" was screened here once for the theater's grand opening in November 1956, but how long did it play when it returned a few weeks later for an actual multi-week (reserved-seat?) booking? Anyone know? NYer?
Coate…It opened there Dec 9 and ran for 2 weeks, ahead of the area neighborhood break that started on Christmas day. It was not reserved seats.
"Oklahoma!" actually opened at The Cove, Bayshore & Patchogue Theaters the day The Syosset opened. As patryan6019 stated, The Syosset wasn't reserved seats yet but they were the only theater on LI to play it in Todd AO. "Oklahoma!" however did return, on March 2 1962 with reserved seats and was replaced by the exclusive Long Island Premiere of "West Side Story" on April 13 1962.
Thank you, NYer and Marti, er, I mean, patryan. :–)

One has to wonder what kind of changes will be made to the Ross product line. I sure hope quality doesn't suffer from re-organization. I have never been too enamored by SA products except the Mastery flylines. At any rate, Ross will lose at least some of it's charm being a part of a big conglomerate. But then again maybe they will decide to bring back the really nice reels that Ross has discontinued. Like the Gunnison or Canyon Big Game........Just some random thoughts.I take it you have never seen a SA fly rod at walmart. Those are DA BOMB!! I think they are the same blanks as the NRX :p

Fluharty played Division I field hockey and lacrosse at Northwestern University. She was a three-time All-American in both sports and is a member of Northwestern University's Athletic Hall of Fame. She has coached girls' lacrosse at Sussex Tech for the past five years.
"I am anxious to uphold Tech's mission of excellence," said Fluharty. "I plan a smooth transition for the team and continuing the top competitive field hockey program at Sussex Tech."
Sussex Tech won back-to-back field hockey championships in 2009 and 2010.
Fluharty and her husband Kevin have two children. Daughter Maxine is a 2011 graduate of Sussex Tech and was a member of the school's championship field hockey teams and was named a High School All-American. Maxine is now playing field hockey at the University of Maryland and was part of its field hockey team that won the national championship in overtime last fall. Son David plays lacrosse at the University of Tennessee
Fluharty will also be a teaching assistant in the physical education department at Sussex Tech.

I have and run a small home business and I would like to setup my network better;
I have to find a way to manage users across my 6 Windows laptops. They all have Windows 7 home/pro. Connected to a small DLink router in 2 rooms of the home.
I have heard of Windows Home server, but unfortunately I dont have any more PC's. Is there a utility I can install on my pc (the admin) pc to manage this ?
Would really be nice if I can either centralize accounts or at lease when I change my password it replicates across all laptops.
All suggestions are welcome to this and other ways I can better manage my home network.

Yo ladies: If you didn't have a reason to watch Discovery's Man Vs. Wild, you have one now! To kick off a run of six all-new episodes, Bear Grylls will bring along special guest Jake Gyllenhaal for the July 11 premiere. For two days, the men will survive what Discovery describes is a "brutal Icelandic landscape dominated by mountains, glaciers and volcanoes — and cope with some of the worst conditions known to man."
I could cope with those conditions if it meant sharing a freeze-dried meal with Jakey boy. Anyway, here's the promo.

Can emotional upset harm my baby?
People often think of pregnancy as a special time when women feel biologically complete and insulated from the sadness in the surrounding world. And it is special...
The truth is, though, that the rates of depression in pregnant and non-pregnant women are very similar. From this you know that you are not alone, and that many women have gone through difficult times while pregnant, shed many tears, and had healthy, wonderful babies at the end.
Still, ongoing full-blown depression can sometimes affect a developing baby, both directly and through inadequate nutrition. The risks are small, but real. Thankfully, there are safe treatments for pregnant women. Whether you need treatment or not, the outlook for your baby is good.
When there are major emotional storms during pregnancy, it is wise to stay in close touch with both an obstetrician and a psychiatrist. You deserve their support and their help in navigating this journey.
Today is a beautiful spring day where I am. As I feel the warmth of the sun, I am hoping that you find moments of sunshine and wildflowers to warm your heart.
You and your little baby are so closely linked. You do shield your baby from most of what happens outside. You surround your baby with love and with the perfect hug. And your baby hugs you, inside, where you need it the most.
Life is bittersweet. But you face it together.

I have a content type that has a file field (which accepts only .zip file) and a screenshot which is an image field and is not displayed on the content submission form. Instead I have a module that unzips the .zip file from hook_node_insert. At this point I would also like to set the screenshot to be a .png extracted from the .zip file. So far I have had no success and I always seem to get an error like this:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '463' for key 'PRIMARY': INSERT INTO {node} (nid, vid, type, language, title, uid, status, created, changed, comment, promote, sticky, tnid, translate, uuid) VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0,
Since I was having trouble getting this to work, I tried what I thought might be simpler, I.E. trying to set the node to some image from the web using code like this:
$image = file_get_contents('http://drupal.org/files/druplicon.large_.png');
$file = file_save_data($image, 'public://drupalicon.png',FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE);
$node->field_screenshot[LANGUAGE_NONE]['0']['fid'] = $file->fid;
but I always get the integrity constraint problem listed above. Could my problem be related to trying to do this from hook_node_insert?

Director Lars von Trier unleashed the uncut version of latest film, "Nymphomaniac" at the Berlin Film Festival. The uncut version has a lengthy runtime of four-and-a-half hours, but in the United States, "Nymphomaniac" has been split into two movies with each film garnering a runtime of two hours.
The film starts off with nothing but sounds of raindrops splashing somewhere in the gutter, von Trier gives you a full dose of German metal rock band Rammstein as a kind gentleman named Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard) finds a woman (Charlotte Gainsbourg) in a ally who has been beaten up and takes her back to his apartment to care for her. When the woman, who calls herself Joe, wakes up, she confesses to Seligman that she is a nymphomaniac and begins to tell her woeful story about sexual escapades.
Joe, along with her best friend B (Sophie Kennedy Clark), discovered their sexuality at a very young age. They also would compete with each other in a memorable sequence where they see how many men they can have sex with on a train with the winner getting a sweet concoction for her reward. With B and a bunch of other women, Joe would form a club that is dedicated to rebelling against love as they chant, "Mea Maxima Vulva" over and over again. Stating that love is nothing but lust mixed with jealousy, Joe isn't interested in finding a significant other as he sleeps with up to 10 men a day.
While some moviegoers might deem "Nymphomaniac: Volume 1" as pornographic due to the explicit nudity and sexual content, it so much more than about sex and naked bodies. It is a provocative story about how one woman's complicated and dark journeys she went through that lead to her lying in an alley beaten and bloody. With this film, von Trier pulls off unique cinematic tricks from shooting in black and white to using split-screens to keep the movie interesting visually.
The movie goes back and forth between Joe's flashback and her in Seligman's apartment telling her story with Seligman often interrupting her with metaphors to her sexual tales by comparing it to things such as fly fishing and the Fibonacci numbers. One particular metaphor that is executed beautifully by von Trier is in the last chapter as Joe compares her lover to three different melodic tunes in Seligman's favorite piece of organ music. The way von Trier visualizes this sequence with the use of cross-cuts and split-screens is truly unique and unlike anything I've seen in recent movies before.
While Gainsboug and Skarsgard are the storyteller and listener in "Volume 1," they do a good job in setting up for the next portion of the movie from what is seen in the teaser for "Volume 2" during the end credits. Stacy Martin does a great job with her movie debut as young Joe in a brave performance where she physically and emotionally displays herself for moviegoers to see. There are interesting performances that play important factors to Joe's life including Christian Slater as Joe's father and Shia LeBeouf (using a bad English accent) as one of Joe's lovers, but Uma Thurman delivers a tremendous performance in short amount of time as the wife of one of Joe's lovers in one of the most awkward moments in the film. As Mrs. H, she has no shame in showing her children where the "whoring bed" is located and making Joe feel bad about what she is doing to Mrs. H's family.
With "Nymphomaniac: Volume 1," von Trier has a good thing on his hands with this tale of a young woman's sexual conquests as it looks like he is setting up for a dark and harrowing tale to be told in "Volume 2."
"Nymphomaniac: Volume 1" is now playing at the Cosford Cinema, Miami Beach Cinematheque and the O Cinema Wynwood. Click here for showtimes.

A map of Alaska, showing "Seward's Folly" the same year it was ceded by Russia to the United States for $7,200,000. At the time there was much controversy about this purchase-subsequently seen to be one of the best acquisitions ever made for the country. The map shows the general absence of development or settlement in the territory, as well as overall lack of knowledge of the geography of Alaska, which explains why this purchase was so misunderstood. This map was based by Philadelphia mapmaker, S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr. upon a large map done by the U.S. Coastal Survey. The coastlines and major rivers are shown with excellent accuracy, but only slight indication is given of the shape of other inland features like the Chigmit Mountains. $195
"Map of the Territory of Alaska (Russian America) Ceded by Russia to the United States." Philadelphia: Gray, 1873. 12 x 16 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
This map was issued by the Philadelphia firm of O.W. Gray, which began its publishing around mid-century and published regional and U.S. atlases up to the 1880s. It shows Alaska shortly after it was acquired by the United States from Russia (1867). The coast line and the islands lying off it, with the cities there, is well documented. In the interior, the main mountain ranges, rivers and settlements are noted, but this was a period was little was known beyond the coast. One of the better maps of Alaska at the time.

They developed a machine to weigh, fill, seal and label coffee in paper packages, which allowed them to become the largest importer and seller of coffee in the world. Their most famous promotional program involved the issuing of several series of small, colorful trading cards, one of which was included in every package of Arbuckle's Coffee. These series included cards with sports, food, historic scenes, and--one of the most popular--maps. The latter cards included not only a map, but also small illustrations "which portrays the peculiarities of the industry, scenery, etc." of the region depicted. These cards are a delight, containing informative maps as well as wonderful scenes of the area mapped. $60

Indoor show jumping is not for the faint hearted – an echoey arena crammed full of brightly-coloured fillers can be a daunting prospect for even the most experienced horse and rider combinations. But if you're game enough to take it on, the challenging environment offers the perfect opportunity to hone your show jumping skills. Limited space will force you to ...

EBT is specifically ...

The last time I went to Paris (over 10 years ago), I had a particularly non memorable time, mostly because I was a starving student who knew very little about good wine and food, and couldn't afford it even if I did know something. This past weekend I returned with more knowledge, not to mention the desire and the means to experience everything good about France. Ruth and I had basically three goals: eat, drink, walk.
After having a wonderful time in Italy using a similar guide, we opted to use Patricial Wells' book, The Food Lovers guide to Paris as our bible. We found the guide useful (though not as great as the book we used in Italy) and between that book and our own wanderings and experimentation, we discovered several gems.
What would Paris be without patisseries? What would mornings be like without a cafe au lait and a croissant. Most Parisians don't actually eat croissants for breakfast apparently, but that didn't stop Ruth and I from enjoying one every day at breakfast, and most days at lunch as well. We ate a lot of baked goods from a lot of places, and arrived at three that we felt were superior.
Patissier Jean Millet
103, Rue Saint Dominique
Paris 7 (seventh arrondissment)
Nearest Metro: Latour-Mauborg
If you're on your way to see Napolean's tomb on a Saturday morning, or even if you're nowhere near the left bank, it's worth a trip to get simply the best pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) in the universe. This guy is amazing, and everyone in the neighborhood seems to know it. On the weekends they make tiny pastries -- fruit tarts, eclairs, napoleans, cream puffs, gateaus -- all no bigger than a mouthful, and there is constant stream of old ladies who stop by to buy them. The place is small, but has a few tables where you can sit to drink some coffee while you eat your pastry(ies). They offer savory pastries as well as a daily soup and some delicious small pizzas. We didn't try the house made chocolates but judging by the quality of everything else we ate there, they will be stellar. Monsieur Millet also has a shop in Yokohama.
Paul, Maison de Qualite
63, Rue Montorgueuil
Paris 1 (first arrondissment)
Nearest Metro: Les Halles
Since 1889 this company has been producing top quality breads and pastries around France. Yes, they are a chain (75 locations in Paris alone), but their stuff is so good I can't avoid recommending them. This particular location, on the bustling market street of Montorgueuil, is a fabulous place to get a cheap lunch while wandering Paris, and is a favorite of locals and tourists alike. I try and eat a Tart au Frais every day, and they have one of the best ones I've tried. In addition to fabulous sweets, they have great breads, and at lunchtime, excellent sandwiches and quiches.
75, avenue Champs-Elysees
Paris 8 (eighth arrondissment)
Nearest Metro: Georges V
Laduree is a Paris institution, widely regarded as the patisserie with the best macaroons in the universe. Situated smack dab in the busiest part of the Champs-Elysees, this shop is always jammed with anyone and everyone who is looking for top notch pastries at any cost. The place is a little pricey, but how can you put a price on a Napolean so good that you cry just looking at it?
* There must be more...
Unfortunately, we were unable to eat at every place we heard about, read about, or walked by. We needed to save room for dinner. So, while these may be the "Best" for now, stay tuned for future revisions.

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Teachers at Laredo ISD could see a raise coming their way.
The District may be spending $6 million on teacher salary adjustments as soon as the next coming school year. Right now, the base pay for a first year teacher is $42,700. That salary increases based on years of experience, and shoots up $2,000 more if the teacher has a Master's Degree.
Tonight on KGNS News at Six, reporter Christian von Preysing tells us what an increase could mean for teachers, as well as the District.

Seattle -- Quotes from the Seattle Seahawks' locker room after their 23-15 playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints:
"Know where he is, get your hands on him, disrupt his routes and understand what he's trying to do. Once you understand their principles, you understand the routes they like to run out of those principles." -- cornerback Richard Sherman on the key to defending Saints tight end Jimmy Graham.
"The poor kid. He finally gets to play and he banged his head against the turf really hard. He was OK the first time, but the second time really rocked him." -- coach Pete Carroll on the loss of receiver Percy Harvin to a concussion in the first half.
"We have one of the best running backs (Marshawn Lynch) in the league, so they thought we were going to run the ball. They came up and pressed both by myself and Golden (Tate) and I got a good release on them and the Russ (Wilson) threw a beautiful ball to give me a chance to make a play." -- wide receiver Doug Baldwin on his 24-yard catch on third-and-3 when the Saints went Cover 0 anticipating the run in the fourth quarter.
"It's next play. I was close to a complete game, I was in the zone and I was waiting for that post (route) the whole game. In regular season you don't really see that ball, but in the playoffs they don't have anything to lose and we don't have anything to lose so I knew I was going to get a post (route) ball. That was my money ball right there. I wish I could have brought it in. That just keeps me hungry for next week." -- safety Earl Thomas on the pass he deflected that landed in Robert Meachem's hands for 52-yard reception in the fourth quarter.
"My time in Tampa Bay really helped me with New Orleans and what you need to do to get to them. I think a lot of times we didn't have the right personnel to beat them in Tampa, but here we have the right personnel to adjust when they adjust. They adjust so often; they have a scheme for every player." -- defensive end Michael Bennett on if his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helped him against the Saints.
"No preference. Whoever is coming in here, just be ready to play because we damn sure will be." -- defensive end Red Bryant on his preference to play either the Carolina Panthers or the San Francisco 49ers in next week's NFC championship game.

Happy Birthday PS Vita! Today the system turns two and what does it have to show for itself? While it's lacking in sales and a huge library, some may argue if offers nothing. However, despite the sales, the PS Vita is an underutilized system that deserves some more attention.
For one, the screen is phenomenal. Screenshots, videos, trailers, and so forth cannot do this system justice until one sees it up close. The screen is crisp, making everything look gorgeous from Vita games, to even the retro classics. It also feels great in the hands, with the back and front touch panels working surprisingly well.
The most impressive thing about the Vita is how fast it is. Not only that, but it can multitask. One game can only be on at a time, but any other program can be open such as photos, or the PlayStation Store. It's convenient and again, super fast and easy to use. Oh yeah, and it takes screenshots from any game.
For the games, well, watch this video. There are great games to buy upon getting the Vita, but there are also a plethora of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Uncharted and Gravity Rush will, most likely, always be free while Street Fighter x Tekken, a new addition to the service, will most likely be gone in a month. And don't forget about the upcoming releases and the gems Japan has yet to localize.
All in all the PS Vita is an amazing portable and an excellent companion "accessory" to the PS4 with Remote Play. This app can only get better as both consoles mature. Plus the system can be found for incredibly cheap. A local Target has PS Vita price dropped to $170. Or to those who want to wait a little more, the new edition of the system will come bundled with Borderlands 2 this spring. So again, Happy Birthday PS Vita. Sony, don't let this thing die. Whatever black magic must be done, do it.
For more videos like the PS Vita Review, watch them on ReActionExaminer's YouTube Channel.

After nine years of absence, Vivienne Westwood has finally returned to London with her new Red Label collection for Autumn/Winter 2008 at London Fashion Week 2008.
She hasn't changed a lot, the Red Label collection was launched in 1994 to offer apparel in Westwood's imitative style to a wider circle of people. The emphasize is made on Westwood's never-dying interest in Savile Row tailoring and French couture clothes.
The Red Label is created for those who not only want to look stylish, but adores something unique and innovative, multiplied by a traditional British sense of style.
The inspiration of this collection was the young women of the 1970′s and it is full of very short dresses, mini-skirts,extremely big buttons, blazers etc.
The show was opened with a model wearing shocking (for the show!) and widely-recognized "Guantanamo Orange" underpants. And it was only a beginning, then the audience saw a girl with a placard protesting for the rights of all prisoners at Guantanamo.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 4 July 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440704-TC-JWC-01; CL 18: 102-104
Chelsea, 4 july, 1844—
Dear Goody Mine,— Your Note came yesterday, your Creek Times duly today. Thanks always for your kindness, for your punctuality. I yesterday sent nothing but a Times with new Debate and humiliation of the poor Secretary: I knew you would have got, in a day more, by Creek; but I thought you would like to see it fresh and fresh.1 Nothing can exceed the craven position of that unfortunate English Fouché:2 it might satisfy Mazzini himself to observe the whine he gives, like a lashed hound! It is to be hoped now that they will put an end altogether to the Privilege of Opening Seals, and so terminate this small business which has grown such a loud one.——— By the bye let me not neglect to say that the Times I sent yesterday belongs to the Stimabile, and must be pointedly returned to him. He came down with it yesterday, poor old fellow, intending it for you,—for there is some poor weak thunder of his own on the same subject in it: I did not even give him hope that you would see that individual copy, for I expected another from Darwin to send you, which however did not come. The poor old Thunderer is really very low, I think; not far from the end of his wits. Actually one might have fancied him half mad: His heart, all enlarged or enlarging to the size of a bagpipe was killing him fast, at which he rejoiced, Ha, ha!—passess3 three or two half-days every week "sitting in the vaults yonder—hoo!"—could not consent to go to the Country for recreation; "by God, would like well to go where there was a Battle transacting itself!" &c &c He looks healthier, however; not so hot and flabby: also the accounts from John grow favourabler. The unfortunate old man, with his real suffering, with his crying, laughing, swearing all huddled together, and total want of earnestness or dignity in the matter, was really a distress to me. A more absurd bag of bluster, in real danger of bursting, I have not often seen.
The night before last, having got my Castor & Pollux4 put away, I walked up to Darwin's in the ambrosial evening. Darwin sat as usual in manly ennui; brought out cigars; mentioned while we spoke of Peel's Macnaughten and Bedlam,5 "One would do very well, lodged there, I imagine!" Hafway6 home I was surprised by a heavy rain, which however could not wet me thro' the Tweed, and did no mischief at all. Last night again I had a walk along the streets; dull Cromwell Books my company when I got home. My physical ailments are gone or going; nothing but weakness and laziness remain. I dined yesterday on one chop and bread; today do with potatoes. I was to dine with Maurice and certain Wilberforces,7 but will make tea serve.— Today Perry came for his rent; Ellen sent him off "till your return";—I have instructed her to go and bid him come to me straightway.
Your account of Walter M'Gregor is tragical! I really feel for the poor man; and fear for him. Such a coil as he is in might drive a quieter man to despair. You may thank him very kindly for his goodness to me in the matter of poor Nelson, whom it will give me very great satisfaction if he can help. The No-Scotchman case, I suppose, is settled: otherwise it is pity Walter had not known that Nelson is by birth & genealogy on both sides a Cumberland man, and does not at all affect to be Scotch! In fact he is a denizen of the 'Country of Liverpool' as we may say more properly than of any other region; Liverpool has all his days been a kind of Metropolis to him. But the case is not likely to recur.
You must go and see poor old Mrs Chorley; there are far worse phenomena in the best places of this world. Also John Chorley, if there be opportunity,—to whom make my compliments. I know not whether you will be better at the Paulets's; but the idea of the fresh air seduces my imagination. May you do the pleasantest way, and the wholesomest. Poor Babby, is she altogether over with it!8 Do you think of bringing any Cousin with you, or after you? The poorest of them is at least inoffensive to me. God bless thee my own Jane! No more today
Yesterday poor Thomas Campbell9 was buried in Wr Abbey: I was to have gone with Milnes, but did not—for want of a black waistcoat, and also of time &c &c.
Alas, the poor old woman in the Lamberts's, I think, must be dead! The windows were all blinded when I came home, and an unusual total stilness has reigned in the House ever since.

A missing 11-year-old boy from Brooklyn was found safe after five days. According to a video report by GeoBeats, the boy rode the subway in Manhattan almost every night. When he got hungry, he went to Chuck E. Cheese for some pizza. His family, meanwhile, was worried sick, and were posting pictures of him around their neighborhood. Alas the boy was recognized by a woman who was riding the train with him one night.
The woman on the train told an officer who was on the subway platform. He jumped on the train and saw the boy, confirming that it was the missing child from Brooklyn.
Apparently the boy said that he left home to sneak to a friend's house to play video games. Although he did make it to his friends house, he got upset (perhaps after losing) and decided to walk around by himself for a bit. That bit turned into five long days for his family.
The boy says that he's happy to be back home. More on this story in the video above.

When u have two max-contract players on a team, both feel they have just as much say-so as the coach on how the team should be run.
Last season max contract Amare was taken out of the STARTER lineup, and it had nothing to do with injuries.
Lastseason, all the "OLD-HEADS" bowed-out of the postseason games .. the games we needed the "OLD-HEADS" the most bc of all the postseason experience they have.
According to ISOLA, in the Daily News, Woodson screws up again (and we all know how Dolan hates leaks to the media). Sad truth remains: screw-up on Tuesday probably more costly than his MOnday mistake:
"In theory, allowing the players to quickly inbound the ball and prevent the defense from setting up is a smart strategy. Except, when Beal scored, Beno Udrih was busy lecturing Andrea Bargnani for failing to provide cover. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] took a quick look at the bench, and when Woodson didn�t respond, Anthony asked for the ball and then inexplicably moved at a snail�s pace.
Those brief moments of confusion and indecisiveness reflect poorly on the leadership of the team. That�s on Woodson. The guy is so rattled that when he showed up for work on Tuesday he misspoke and told reporters that Amar�e Stoudemire is experiencing swelling on his knee and will be out �for a while.�
According to a source, Stoudemire �flipped out� when he learned of Woodson�s medical update and quickly took to Twitter to inform the fans �IM NOT INJURED.� He also said that his body and knees �feel great!� Of course, Stoudemire didn�t make the trip to Milwaukee, so Woodson isn�t entirely wrong. The Knicks don�t play again until Saturday, so technically Stoudemire is out for �a while.�
the only person that i ever see try to push the ball up is shump...everyone else takes their sweet dam time to get it across, then takes 10 seconds holding it, then starts to pass it around
dont disrespect Pablo ball hogger after MELO is JR and many times i see that Andrea dont have any1 to pass no ball movement or too many passes
WOODSON simply LOST this team and some players are brainless how to play
JR just can hit 3s
he can do more but he dont know how to use his skills
but Woodson still wil b keeping struggling on floor
which describes him how dumb he is as a coach

It's dainty and dreamy and everything I wanted. My problem is that my handsome, loving, perfect fiance is only 5'7 and I am 5'5, meaning on the day of the wedding I MUST wear flats! All I have been able to find are boring white satin ballerinas resembling something my flower girl might wear! Every bride deserves fabulous shoes, even if they're flat ones! I am looking for something elegant, graceful, beaded or sparkly! Preferably silver or white. Here is a picture of my beautiful vintage inspired dress. I'm not opposed to peep toes, ballerinas, or sandals. I am open to your suggestions (and in need of them!) Oh, and if we could keep them under $150 that would be great! I know its a challenge. I have faith in you! Thank you!"
Victoria, this was a welcome challenge. I love glitzy, bedazzled shoes. After searching for a few pairs that sparkle enough to be compared to foot jewelry, I've put together a mix of ballet flats and sandals to complete your wedding day look.

2. Summery Silver Sandals ($120)
3. Marc Defang Vintage Style Flats ($150)
4. Vince Camuto Renn ($70)

Rhode Island v. Massachusetts
Annotate this Case

U.S. Supreme Court
Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, 40 U.S. 15 Pet. 233 233 (1841)
Rhode Island v. Massachusetts
40 U.S. (15 Pet.) 233
THIS case was before the court, at January term, 1838, 37 U. S. 12 Pet. 657, and again at January term, 1840, 39 U. S. 14 Pet. 210.
A bill was filed in the Supreme Court on 16 March, 1832, by the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations asking the Court to settle the boundary between that state and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Webster appeared for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
After various proceedings in the case, a plea and answer to the bill of the State of Rhode Island were filed by Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and at January term, 1838, Webster, counsel for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, "moved to dismiss the bill on the ground that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in the cause." A full report of the matters contained in the bill, and in the plea and answer, will be found in 37 U. S. 12 Pet. 659-669. The question of jurisdiction was argued by Austin, Attorney-General of Massachusetts, and Webster, on the part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and by Hazard and Southard, for the State of Rhode Island. The Court ordered that the motion to dismiss the bill of the complainants should be overruled.

CHARLOTTE,N.C. — Saints safety Rafael Bush, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, tops the list of inactives for Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
Bush injured his ankle in the Dec. 2 game with the Seattle Seahawks and has not practiced since then although he was listed as doubtful for the game on Friday by coach Sean Payton.
Linebacker Keyunta Dawson is also inactive for the fourth consecutive game because of a calf injury that he sustained on Nov. 21 atAtlantaand tight end Josh Hill will be out for the second game in a row with a hamstring problem.
The Saints' healthy inactives are WR Nick Toon, DE Tom Johnson, RB Travaris Cadet and QB Ryan Griffin.
Topping the list of Panthers' inactives is running back Jonathan Stewart, who was ruled of the game on Friday by coach Ron Rivera because of a knee injury.
The other inactive are CB Josh Norman, LB Dan Connor, WR Tavarres King, WR Marvin McNutt, T Travis Bond and DE Wes Horton.

It's been a tough week and a half for the basketball team so let's take a look back at the last win – vs. UC.
Truck had just turned the ball over and there was 13 seconds left in the game. West Virginia held a slim 3 point lead over Huggins old school, the Cincinnati Bearcats and then the inevitable question was asked by one of the announcers: to foul or not to foul.
The premise behind fouling, as many know, is that you only get 2 shots and you don't need to be mathematician to know that 2 points does not make up a 3 point deficit. Of course, many things can happen and you can still find a way to lose despite fouling.
In this particular game, Huggins chose not to foul. UC decided to take the quick 2, but missed and the game was essentially over at that point. It worked out not to foul this time.
Against Baylor, WVU held a 3 point lead late and again chose not to foul. Baylor sank a 3, the game went to OT and the rest is history.
Two games, the same decision in the end and two different outcomes.
My assumption is that Huggins simply trusts his defense to get the job done…thus no foul.
Personally, I think I would take the chance and foul in these situations, but this Huggins guy has 700+ wins to his credit so it's hard to argue with his decisions.
So which way is best – fouling or relying on your defense when up by 3? For the answer to this question, I have to turn to a place that is much smarter than I am: Harvard.
The guys over at the this unique blog focused in on the '09-'10 college basketball season. Here were their findings:
In the 2009-2010 season, I found 443 instances where a team held the ball down three points during their last possession of a period (either the end of the 2nd half or an overtime period). In 391 of those cases, the team leading did not foul. In 52 cases, the team chose to foul. While the unequal sample sizes aren't ideal, the 52 cases of fouling are significantly more than found in Winston's NBA study (27).
Of the 52 teams that committed a foul, six lost the game for a winning percentage of 88.46%. Of the 391 teams that did not foul, 33 lost the game for a winning percentage of 91.56%. Both a two sample t-test of proportion and a Chi-squared test fail to reject the null hypothesis that there is a difference in winning percentage between the two strategies. In this sample, teams that did not foul won slightly more often. For the less statistically inclined, this means that there is no significant difference between the two strategies.
There you have it folks. This study basically concluded that it really doesn't matter. Despite the numbers, I believe that I would still roll the dice and foul when up by 3. What would you do?

Transitioning from work attire to happy hour is as easy as one, two, three!
1. Start your day with a cute skirt, a blouse, a cardigan, some simple makeup, and matte lipstick.
2. Try not to spill coffee and/or Diet Coke all over yourself throughout the day.
3. Take off the cardigan and apply Burt's Bees Super Shiny Lip Glosss ($2 on sale), giving your lips the pearlescence and shine you need after business hours over mojitos at the bar.

Western Technical College presents Legacy Award to Lunda family
Published on Monday, May 05, 2008
Western Technical College today presented the Milt and Lydi Lunda family of Black River Falls with the distinguished Legacy Award in recognition of a 20-year history of support for the college. Lydi, son, Larry, and his wife, Ann, accepted the award from Western President Lee Rasch during the Black River Falls Rotary and Lions Club meeting at the Arrowhead Lodge in Black River Falls.
Western's Legacy Award was created to honor an individual or organization that has made an extraordinary, long-term, and lasting contribution to the development of the college and its students. The award is rarely given and recognizes many years of sustained friendship so significant that Western Technical College has been markedly changed as result.
In the 96-year history of the college, the Legacy Award has only been conferred two other times: the first to Ms. L. Hope Kumm in 1997, and the second to Charles G. Richardson in 1998. The Lundas were chosen to receive the award for their support of numerous projects, most recently their donation to a new community and corporate training center, named The Lunda Center, to be located on the La Crosse campus. Other highlights of their support include:
• The expansion of the Associate Nursing Program in Black River Falls
• Fresh Start Child Care Scholarships
• Jackson County Scholarship Program
• The Rural Leadership Development Program
• Support for the Health Science Center – A collaborative project between Western Technical college and four community partners
• Laptops for Black River Falls Campus
