DeMarco loves to fight
Story & photo by Felipe Leon
Many times, fighters who win their first major fight on a world stage tend to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
Not Antonio DeMarco.
After his dismantling of Almazbek "Kid Diamond" Raiymkulov, DeMarco took a week off and then was right back in the CREA gym run by Romulo Quirarte and his sons, Bobby and Romulo Jr., in the heart of Tijuana, Mexico.
With the win as the semi main event to Darchinyan-Arce and broadcast on Showtime February 7th, DeMarco of Los Mochis, captured the NABO-WBO lightweight title and took a step in his career.
"That fight was a lot tougher than what was seen in the ring the night," says DeMarco. "But thanks to the preparation and the strategy that we had, we were able to get our hand raised."
Despite making stoppage of "Kid Diamond" look easy, the once beaten DeMarco (20-1-1, 14 KOs) assures that it wasn't the case.
"I did have some trouble with his style but we had a strategy, we knew that we had to decipher his style in the beginning rounds," DeMarco says as he begins to warm up among the forty other fighters cramped in the small gym. "I felt that in the fourth or fifth round I was starting to warm up and I noticed that he was beginning to tire."
"That is what we worked for. To box him in the early rounds and then to pressure him in the later ones. We knew that he would get tired in the later rounds and we knew that we needed to finish strong."
But DeMarco is sure to stress that the bout was more won with the work he and his team did in the gym which is located under the stands of the Municipal Sports Complex near the international border with San Diego, CA, than what actually transpired inside the ring of the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.
"We were very confident in my physical strength and my power. We were very confident on that and we knew that we would come out stronger in the later rounds and be able to stop him."
"Mochis" as he is affectionally to all those who know him, stands a tall 5'10" for the lightweight division. A physical attribute he thinks helped against the 5'7" Raiymkulov.
"I think it was height and my reach that I don't think he was able to figure out. He had to reach to try to land punches. He would reach a lot and I think he lost control besides I never went toe to toe with him except for the last rounds," DeMarco recalls. "I think he got confused, I think he thought that I was going to come out brawling from the beginning of the bout and I didn't."
DeMarco, 23, who holds fourteen stoppages in his twenty two bouts accepts that at times he has lost his head in fights and opts to tussle when he should box, a trait he and his team decided to control for his first championship bout.
"It did cause me some trouble not to brawl with him. Even here at the gym, getting ready for the fight, there were many times that my trainer Don Romulo would stop me from sparring and tell me what to do and what not to," he says smiling. "Many people have said that I didn't throw a lot of punches but it was part of the strategy that we had for that fight."
Now as the latest champion to walk to the streets of Tijuana, DeMarco puts everything in perspective.
"It means a lot to me, it is my first belt, my first title. More than anything, like I always say, I am do this for my daughter and for my wife. They are a great motivation for me because I know that bigger things are coming," DeMarco says. "We know that we must go to a higher level. Opportunities have been presented to me and we have to know how to take advantage of them."
Those opportunities should be at his door step soon, but not soon enough as his promoter at the time of this writing, had not contacted the young fighter with his new assignment.
"I have not gotten any news about my next bout. We are hoping that soon we know when we fight again because I am anxious to get in a ring again."
"I would choose anybody that my promoter and my trainers choose, I am only the fighter. I am willing to fight anybody."

With all my other Pokemon, it takes 15-30 minutes to fully EV train them that way, but I would sit for hours trying to train Togepi. I gave up after a little bit because it was taking so long. Its shots are slow and do almost nothing and it takes so long to even beat the balloon bot. Is there any reason why it's like that? xy super-training togepi ev-training evs asked Jun 7, 2014 by Doctor Chu what symbol does it have? (the little ball symbol) commented Jun 7, 2014 by Sir Terlor Regular ball (black. Nothing special) commented Jun 7, 2014 by Doctor Chu If Super Training doesnt work for Togepi, i suggest horde EV training. commented Jun 7, 2014 by Sir Terlor Also, is the green bar full or empty? because the higher the bar is, the more damage it will do. commented Jun 7, 2014 by Sir Terlor I'll give it a try ^^ But what I've been doing is sending in my Espurr (fully EV trained) against Sp. Atk balloon bots to get the training bags and using those on Togepi. It's time consuming, but it's better than almost running out of time in Super Training with Togepi commented Jun 7, 2014 by Doctor Chu Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 4 votes Best answer The less trained a Pokemon is in Speed, the slower it's ball's speed will be. If your Togepi is not invested in speed at all, it's balls will be turtle-speed. It's completely normal. It also means that your Pokemon will be just like your ball. Turtle-speed. The lesser trained a Pokemon in the offensive stats (Attack and Special Attack), the lesser damage a Pokemon's shots will do. If you're togepi is not invested in the offensive stats, then your shots will do decreased damage. The shots get stronger the more you have invested in either stats. Also, charging up shots will cause them to do more damage, and if you have trained it majorly in the defenses (Defense and Special Defense) then the charging time will reduce. The Base Stats the Pokemon has also seem to take part in the equation, but this is a bit debatable.

That's why I'm thinking it's just a Togepi thing commented Jun 7, 2014 by Doctor Chu Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Togepi isn't performing well in super training, because it's low level. Pokemon perform differently in super training with different levels. E.g if it has high attack/special attack, the balls will get you more points for each one that lands in a goal, and if it has higher speed, shots will travel faster ect. So, I suggest you level it up normally without EV training, use a reset bag on it, then try again and see if it does any better. Source: I figured it out myself, my Ninjasks shots are super fast, the opponent hardly does any damage to my Blissey, and other Pokemon I've tried. answered Jun 7, 2014 by The Noby My other pokes do just fine in super training and they're all level 1, which is why I'm thinking it's just a Togepi thing :/ commented Jun 7, 2014 by Doctor Chu I mean because of its lack in EV training. commented Jun 7, 2014 by The Noby Ah, okay.

Following is a statement University spokespersons provided to news media representatives inquiring about Honor Court allegations:
"The University cares deeply about all of its students and is committed to providing policies and procedures that are fair for everyone, especially about an issue that is difficult and often involves strong opinions on both sides like sexual assault. Because of concern for our students and their privacy, and in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we are unable to discuss the specifics of an Honor Court case or related allegations involving students.
At UNC-Chapel Hill, the Honor Court is a student-run process. (See http://studentconduct.unc.edu/). The Student Attorney Generals have the authority to make decisions about cases considered by the court independent of campus administrators. Administrators may not encourage or prevent the Student Attorney Generals from filing charges in a specific case. Given that these charging decisions are made by Student Attorney Generals and not by campus administrators, a claim of retaliation by the University would be without merit. Because of faculty interest in strengthening the Honor Court process, the University established – with Chancellor Thorp's support – a faculty advisory committee to be available to the Student Attorney Generals for consultation in difficult cases. The University may not comment on when the faculty advisory committee becomes involved in cases.
Effective August 1, 2012, the University developed a new process for responding to sexual assault complaints. Under this new process, sexual assault cases are no longer addressed through the Honor Court system.
It's also important to have the current context about UNC-Chapel Hill's policies and procedures and the current dialogue occurring on campus under the guidance of Gina Smith, a nationally recognized lawyer and leading consultant on sexual misconduct issues retained by Carolina. She has been on campus in recent weeks to guide an open and transparent conversation about how the issue of sexual assault affects the campus and culture that is focusing on education and engagement. Smith, a former prosecutor, educator and consultant, has guided other campuses on issues related to their handling of sexual assault complaints.
As part of this effort, the University has launched a website, Campus Conversation on Sexual Assault, that includes information about relevant policies, schedules for meetings and educational programming and a checklist for next steps. An electronic suggestion box on the site allows anyone to submit ideas to the core team working on implementation.
The website includes recent updates about the University's hiring of a new Title IX Officer/Student Complaint Coordinator and response to allegations made in connection with the filing of a complaint with the federal Office for Civil Rights in January. The University is on record pledging complete support and cooperation with the OCR, which is currently reviewing the complaint."

Duke Ellington: Harlem Air Shaft
Harlem Air Shaft
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra
Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band (RCA Bluebird)
Duke Ellington (piano), Wallace Jones (trumpet), Cootie Williams (trumpet), Rex Stewart (cornet), Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton (trombone), Lawrence Brown (trombone), Juan Tizol (trombone), Barney Bigard (clarinet), Johnny Hodges (alto sax), Harry Carney (baritone sax), Otto Hardwick (alto sax), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Fred Guy (guitar), Jimmy Blanton (bass), Sonny Greer (drums).
Composed by Duke Ellington.
Recorded: New York, July 22, 1940
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This composition may not be as well known as "Satin Doll" or "Mood Indigo," but make no mistake about it: this is one of Ellington's finest moments on record and a landmark of jazz writing. Duke never had a better band than this historic unit, and he contributes a brilliant chart, full of surprising twists and turns. The repeated fake-out shift into half time, jarred back into hot swing by Greer's drumming, still gets me jazzed every time I hear it. And the soloists play with fire -- yet how could they not with such great writing and playing behind them.
Ellington has described the inspiration for this work in vivid terms. "You get the full essence of Harlem in an air shaft," he explained. "You hear fights, you smell dinner, you hear people making love. You hear intimate gossip floating down. You hear the radio. An air shaft is one great loudspeaker, you hear people praying, fighting and snoring." To convey this diversity of activities in sound, Ellington has expanded his palette and opened up his structure beyond the typical confines of 32-bar song form. And for a brief moment in American history, an art song with this type of intricacy could also be a commercial recording for a popular band. We may never see the like again.

Greetings from Paris! Did you think Thursday Book Club was gone forever? Au contraire, mes freres! I haven't been slacking; I've been working like a chien to bring you a good post.
I previously mentioned the English Civil War of the 1600s. If you search online for English Civil War, all the top results will be references to the series of conflicts between Royalists and Parliamentarians that comprised that Civil War. You know what you won't find? Information about the FIRST English Civil War — one that was fought over a woman's right to rule. Typical. Not only does the woman get screwed over, but she gets written out of history too. We've seen that happen before.
In 1135, the Empress Matilda (so-called because she was the widow of Henry V, the Holy Roman Emperor) was the rightful heir to her father, Henry I of England. (Brace yourselves: this is only the beginning of many repeated names. Apparently there were only about five names in the 12th century. Seriously, if you stood up in a crowded throne room and yelled, "Henry! Stephen! Matilda!", 99% of the peeps in the palace would be like, "WHAT?!") Henry I had the English barons swear allegiance to Matilda before his death. Unfortunately, English barons of ye olden days weren't renowned for their loyalty. When Henry died, Matilda's cousin Stephen was able to steal the throne aided by a dude named Hugh Bigod, who falsely claimed that Henry changed his mind about his seven-year-old succession plan on his deathbed. The barons were happy to go along with this because they thought a woman would be a lousy ruler.
Matilda wasn't Henry's original heir. That was her younger brother, William, who died in the 1120 sinking of the White Ship, the 12th century equivalent of the Titanic. Henry had had least 20 illegitimate kids — making him the top bastard-producing English king — but only Matilda and William were legitimate and therefore preferred successors to the throne. Interestingly, the future usurper Stephen was meant to be on the White Ship too, but he missed the boat due to a bad case of diarrhea. Stephen's tummy troubles ultimately led to even shittier times for the inhabitants of England: the 19 years that he and Matilda battled for the throne were known as "The Anarchy."
Even if he hadn't been a lying throne-stealer facing the wrath of Matilda, Stephen would have been a shitty king. He was in some ways a nice guy, but nice guys make lousy kings in feudal societies. There were no national armies in those days. A feudal king had to rely on the nobles, who received enormous amounts of land (as well as the people who worked the land) in exchange for providing military service when required. The problem was that once the barons had lots of land, money and men, they could take on the king himself unless he put the fear of God into them. Henry I did that. He never made a threat that he didn't keep, even allowing his own young granddaughters to be blinded after their father, his son-in-law, blinded a hostage he'd been holding.
Stephen, in contrast, was a "soft and good" man who "no justice did," as a chronicler of the time put it. My favorite example is Stephen's encounter with Matilda's ally John Marshal, one of the baddest badasses around. Stephen besieged a castle Marshal was holding; Marshal promised to surrender the castle and gave Stephen his five- or six-year-old son as a hostage — a living guarantee that Marshal would keep his word. But Marshal didn't keep his word and Stephen threatened to hang the boy unless Marshal surrendered immediately. Marshal coolly told Stephen to go ahead and hang the child because "I still have the hammer and the anvil with which to forge still more and better sons." Oh no he di'int!!!! Stephen couldn't go through with it and the child grew up to be the great knight William Marshal.
Stephen's poorly timed displays of mercy and chivalry led to the death of untold thousands in war, famine and civil unrest. One chronicler summed it up thusly: "In the days of this King there was nothing but strife, evil, and robbery, for quickly the great men who were traitors rose against him. When the traitors saw that Stephen was a good-humoured, kindly, and easy-going man who inflicted no punishment, then they committed all manner of horrible crimes . . . And so it lasted for nineteen years while Stephen was King, till the land was all undone and darkened with such deeds, and men said openly that Christ and his angels slept."
Compare the description of Stephen to this description of Matilda written years later during the reign of her son Henry (of course!) II: "I have heard that his mother's teaching was to this effect, that he should spin out the affairs of everyone, hold long in his own hand all posts that fell in, take the revenues of them, and keep the aspirants to them hanging on in hope; and she supported this advice by an unkind analogy: an unruly hawk, if meat is often offered to it and then snatched away or hid, becomes keener and more inclinably obedient and attentive." Mmkay? Bitch knew how to rule! And the only reason she couldn't hold onto the throne of England herself was the nobles' attitude towards women with backbone. But I'll get into that part of the story next week; I'll also present my kickass Matilda necklace in that post.
In the meantime, I recommend The Empress Matilda by Marjorie Chibnall, a nonfiction book that is the source of the above description of Matilda.
UPDATED TO ADD: Here are the links for Part II and Part III of my Empress Matilda story.

Honestly, Wendy, you've gotta write a book. Never has ye olde history been so, um, relevant…
Now, can we talk about Paris. You're in Paris. OMG, I am so envious I cannot stand it. Cannot. Love, K
K.Line,nothing to be envious of today. We got to the hotel at about 1 and had plenty of time to do things but a mini-migraine came upon me (not as bad as a full-fledged migraine but still not good) so I slept all afternoon. I am skipping a work dinner that my husband is at tonight because I'm still not 100% but I'm confident I will feel better tomorrow. I plan to take the iHog to see the Eiffel Tower.
Excellent post (and I hope you feel better soon)
Thank you on both counts, CDP!
Indeed, miss – your histories are roughly 8,000,000 times better than anything I ever read in college textbooks. (Take that, Naftali, you hack!) I will gladly line up to purchase these in ye olde book form, should they ever be part of such a compendium.
Notice how I made that sentence extra awkward just to fit the word "compendium" in? Or was the writing so flawless you didn't even notice?
You weren't kidding when you said you worked like un chien to write this one. I can't believe you don't have crazy eyes like King "Crazy Eyes" Stephen after reading, researching, and writing all this. I admire you. Well done.
PAD, you are an inspiration. I think I will write "WendyB's Compedium of Bitchy Historical Tales" some day. I'm just waiting for the offers to pour in.
ENC, King Stephen, Empress Wu and Heather Mills — all with the crazy eyes. Could they all be a single reincarnated soul? I'm just hoping I can get Matilda done in one more post and that I don't need to go to three.
I'm very jealous that you're in Paris. And that you have such a cute chien!
WendyB – feel better soon! Just rest up and I'm sure you will be well by tomorrow (note: still green with envy, though not of the headache, natch.) How on earth you wrote that great post while feeling sick is beyond me…
I wrote it in advance, K. Line! 🙂
Wow, Wendy, this post left skid marks on my brain. Loved it! Matilda rocks, and so do you.
Hope you are feeling better and able to enjoy springtime in Paris.
Fabulous post Wendy-your attention to historical detail is phenomenal!I hope you get better asap and have a rocking time in Paris!!
John Marshal's son probably needed loads of therapy after that castle-besieging incident!
Like, thanks Dad.
WOW. Thank you for this! John Marshal was a right turd.
I had no idea there were actually 'gentle' kings then who didn't delight in the most disgusting of punishments. Too bad it lead to the perishing of thousands. You can't win, eh?
I'm a huge Matilda fan. And now, I'm an even bigger Wendy fan! Girl, you rock with your Matilda book club. Love your designs. Love especially the sleeping puppy.

Sheet metal work being bent on a Trumpf 7036 CNC press brake
Fast Tube by Casper
Nearly all of our smaller sheet metal work is bent up on our 2 Trumpf 7036 CNC press brakes. We do have 2 larger 2.5M long CNC press brakes for longer sheet metal profiles and 2 smaller Guifil 600mm CNC press brakes for small simple angle brackets. They all have their place within our workshop but the Trumpf 7036 machines really take pride of place. With their simple programming controllers, 3D graphics, fast change CNC top and bottom tooling and very fast back stops the Trumpf 7036 machines are perfect for 1 off prototypes, small repeat batches and volume production. Whether its simple mild steel angle brackets, aluminium chassis or stainless steel trays the Trumpf 7036 CNC press brakes take it all in their stride.
Please take a look at the specific plant pages for all 3 CNC press brakes with lots of examples of bent up sheet metal work. We also have more examples of sheet metal work on our galley pages to give you a taster of the range of sheet metal work that we bend up every day of the week.

The second event of KlabJazz (after Blues Platform 2) and the first Sunday Jazz @ Plate For Me in 2013 is ready to go! Ever since this event rolled again last year in March in the new crime scene, Plate For Me (Palette of Flavors), this event has never stopped in delivering variety of jazz twice a month, on the second and fourth week. Now the number has reached 18, where this Bandung well-established jazz community will present no less than 5 bands/groups as usual, ranging from the bands that have supported them often, new projects and also newcomers in the jazz scene. Speaking of the sub-genre, this edition is going to span wide, ranging from pop/soulful jazz with RnB touch, straightahead, fusion, hard-bop to reach the ethnic corner which involves traditional instruments. Imagine all served for free, for 4 hours straight, while you can also getting along with your friends and family enjoying the meals/beverages. This should be a treat you shouldn't miss, especially when you're having relaxing hours starting from Sunday afternoon to evening.
Let's get deeper with the performers of Sunday Jazz @ Plate For Me #18 in alphabetical order. First, take a look at Ammy String Trio +. Ammy Kurniawan is a jazz violist who's also able to play guitar, arranging and work as a teacher too. While you might know him as one of the 4 Peniti, actually he's been establishing many projects too where some of them involve his own students from little children up to teenagers. Several times he presented the project called Ammy Alternative String, but this time seems like he's going to bring a new set which is still rooting on strings, the group he simply called Ammy String Trio +. Strings and violin jazz, that's the description of this band we got from KlabJazz. That should bring something different especially when violin is not an instrument used in most of jazz bands. What will Ammy bring this time? How the violin will do in jazz? And remember, the number of players may be more than just three, since there's the symbol '+' (plus) in the end of the name. It's for you to find out, so better not miss it.
Representing the vocal land is Erick Gabe. This man is a full vocal package since he can sing all kind of singing styles. Erick established himself as a vocal teacher/instructor in one of the most famous music schools in Bandung, but then changed his course into business. Long story short, with all the ups and downs throughout his life journey, he later realized that he should go back to the talent God has given him and focus in it. And that's of course, singing. While he's still teaching privately, now he's looking for more opportunities to sing and entertain on stage. Yes he can pin any singing style, even if he has to enter the traditional corners, but Jazz is always an excellent choice for him, since Jazz has never failed to give him more than enough space to go wild. Wild? Yes, this man doesn't like to go flat. What he loves is to explore the wide vocal range which actually should be listed as his specialty. He has 3.5 octave vocal range which can be expanded to 4.5 or maybe, even higher. "I was born to sing, that's the kind of talent God has given me, and now I'm ready to return and multiply that 'investment'." he said. Jazzuality answers his passion, mission and his special gift by positioning as his management. It's going to be a pity if a talent like this be wasted, especially now since he already built his own band which will enable him to perform no matter where it is! The band consists of two teachers from Purwacaraka Music School: Irawan Zulhidayat (piano) and Johnny Sitompul (guitar) plus Muhammad Iqbal (drums/cajon/percussion), Wandi (drums) and Cuhaedi (bass). You should listen to this man's voice and his ability to do some extreme vocal manouvers in perfect pitch.
Next, let's take a look at a whole ladies band, Jazzy Juice. You might see them often as a quintet which involves two female saxophonists, but actually the basic formation is a trio. A beautiful pianist who can also sing while pouring out streaming of jazz tunes over the keyboard Dyah Sekar Utami, the all-round drummer who can give powerful but tasty jazz beat Adisty Zulkarnaen and a funky bassist Arnie Christanti (the last two are also the members of SHE band) will ready to show their fusion/hard bop hearts which can also be strecthed to meet Latins, occasionally. Solid package of trio with seamless chemistry and very talented, that's what we got from any of their previous gigs. If you still need an extra, they are also eye-catchy during the play.
If these names are not enough and you still want to get more unique things from this event, Pancasura is ready to give you! This is an ensemble who stands in between fusion jazz, postrock and traditional/ethnic/world music, packed in fine blend. Coming from Himaka, STSI (Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia; Indonesian Art Higher School) Bandung, they are experienced in combining Eastern and Western music worlds after many previous events they attended. This will give you different experience since they play combination of modern and traditional musics by using instruments from both sides as well.
Finally, the new band of bassist Rudy Zulkarnaen, Rudy & Band Listrik (Electric Band) is completing the lineup. This band launched their first gig at Klab Jazz's Prime Time Friday Nite Jazz #04 last November and now ready to make their second show. Comprises of Rudy's own wife Adisty Zulkarnaen who also plays in Jazzy Juice session on drums, Mustiko Ardi on guitar and Christ Stanley Khoewell Kainama on piano/melodica, this senior bassist of Bandung continues his step in coloring the jazz scene locally (and hopefully soon in the national scene) after his involvement in several other groups such as 4 Peniti besides his activity as a sessionist. As how the name says, we can expect something electrifying from them. Get ready to get the electric shock after being in contact with this band.
So there, we have said it all. If you find it interesting, this event is actually easy to reach. All you have to do is come to Plate For Me (Palette of Flavor) no longer than this Sunday, sit back and relax, enjoy the delicious foods and beverages listed on the menu and enjoy rainbow-like variety of jazz brought to you by KlabJazz. Circle your calendar now and see you there!

A tanker, hauling liquid sugar, leaked its load on about 15 miles of highway. The syrupy substance has damaged several vehicles and is proving to be difficult to clean off the cars. According to a February 27 report by KWTV Channel 9 News in Oklahoma City, the liquid sugar was leaked on I-44 during the morning rush hour in Oklahoma City.
The liquid sugar isn't just on the outside of the vehicles. One cab driver reported that the sticky substance is on the engine and underneath the car. He claims his cab now smells like "burnt marshmallows" because of the heat.
CEI Trucking is the trucking company responsible for the liquid sugar all over the highway. The load was headed to the Braum's Distribution Center in Tuttle.
The driver of the truck was not issued a citation. That was because the driver stopped on his own and wasn't involved in an accident. CEI Trucking has also offered to pay to have the vehicles washed.
The right lane of I-44 was shut down. The highway patrol brought in sand in an attempt to clean up the mess. At the time of publication, it was unknown if CEI Trucking would be responsible for paying for the clean up caused by one of their trucks.

5 News just learned the name of a driver killed when she crashed head on into another car on I-79 today. That crash shut down 79 for sometime this afternoon.
Police said 21-year-old Samantha Schaub was driving north on 79, when she crossed over the median into the south bound lanes near mile marker 150. That's when she hit another vehicle head on. Both vehicles then caught fire. Some witnesses rushed to get Schaub out of her burning car but she died on the scene. The four people in the jeep, including a child were taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital, some were flown by HealthNet, and others were taken by ambulance. Officials said they will be reconstructing the scene of that accident.
Anyone having additional information about the crash is asked to call Trooper Maidens at (304) 285-3200.

Officials on scene have told 5 News that preliminary investigations indicate that one vehicle was headed northbound when it crossed over the median into the southbound side striking another vehicle.
Four people were transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital, including a child. HealthNet did fly to the scene.
An accident re-constructionist will be called to the scene.
One southbound lane has been reopened. Stay with 5 News for the latest updates.

Rockstar Social Club Multiplayer Events on PSN this Wed & Thurs 3x XP RedDR & GTA4
(cut/pasted from Rockstar Social Club's Facebook Feed)
NB Times refer to US zones. (eg, "Eastern" is East US, not East Aus)
The PlayStation Network is officially back online, and with that comes the triumphant return of Rockstar Games Social Club Multplayer Events for our PS3 community.

The Rock Hall's award-winning education department debated, arm-wrestled and ultimately high-fived their way into answering one impossible question: what song is each 2016 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's definitive track? A tall order, to be sure, but here goes it:
Deep Purple – "Smoke on the Water" (1972)
Seriously. That riff. Who can't hum it? Formed in London in 1968, Deep Purple embraced the sounds of progressive rock, psychedelia-influenced blues and heavy metal, but the group of musicians always fit squarely within the hard rock genre that they helped solidify. Back to that guitar riff – a distinctive, repeated melody with a driving rhythm that builds a song's energy. The opening to Purple's "Smoke on the Water" is arguably the most famous riff in rock history. All credit to guitar extraordinaire Ritchie Blackmore, who took four simple chords and transformed it into a monster of a melody. But it wasn't just the notes. The rhythm of the riff is equally important: Blackmore mutes—or forcibly stops—the chords strategically to highlight the song's backbeat, which anticipates Ian Paice's drumbeat. Add a liberal dose of distortion to Blackmore's guitar and boom!: hard rock history ...
For more than 30 years, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Slash has left an indelible mark on rock and roll, cutting a singular figure as recognizable as his oft-imitated – never replicated – guitar playing.
Slash's embrace of rocker staples like black leather and tattoos evolved alongside his now iconic top hats, creating an image that's become synonymous with rock and roll.
This year, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members voted to have displayed in the Museum a leather jacket worn by Slash during Guns N' Roses tours in the 1980s and 1990s.
The back of the jacket features images of a skull wearing a top hat, crossbones topped with guitar headstocks, a gun and a rose.
The images mirror a tattoo on Slash's upper left arm, along with the acronym "D.T.U.D." – which reportedly stands for "Drink Till U Drop" – a nod to Slash's notoriously wilder days as GNR's rabble rousing lead guitarist. Guns N' Roses were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
Want to play a role in what gets exhibited at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Check out more benefits of Rock ...
In the pantheon of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, there is a cadre of fabled axemen who consistently bubble to the top, including such Hall of Fame Inductees as Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, BB King and Jimmy Page – all artists represented at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. And no discussion of six-string masters would be complete without Eddie Van Halen, the innovative firebrand that turned the world of guitar playing on its ear in the late 70s and early 1980s. "I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers," Van Halen once explained to a reporter. "When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that's when I started getting my own style." That style went on to influence millions of budding shredders. Here are five tracks that contributed to that influence:
Guitar Solo, from Live Without a Net (1986)
Van Halen went out with something to prove during the live tour for the 5150 album. With new singer Sammy Hagar, the band had to show fans and critics alike that it could keep rocking without Diamond Dave ...
"Clichéd as it might be, we've always been a good, hard rock and roll band," Angus Young has said of his group, 2003 Hall of Fame inductees AC/DC. More than simply "good," AC/DC has reigned as one of the best-loved and hardest-rocking bands in the world for decades.
In this Gallery Talk clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story behind the iconic schoolboy outfit worn by AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. This outfit – along with other items from AC/DC's lengthy career – is on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the heavy metal section of the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit.

J&J Recall Watch: Ethicon Recalls 104 Batches of Sutures
Johnson & Johnson recalled about 585,000 surgical sutures, saying their sterility can't be guaranteed.
As Dow Jones Newswires reports, J&J's Ethicon unit issued a late-December alert in the U.K. that it was recalling 104 batches of Ethilon, Ethibond, Mersilene and Mersilk brand sutures, but that information was just posted today on a U.K. regulatory agency website. The sutures were mostly sold in Europe, DJN reports.
We've been keeping tabs on J&J's string of recalls, which cost it about $900 million in sales last year. Here's a running list:
- In late February, J&J recalled more than 667,000 Sudafed packages at the wholesale level after a typo on the packaging ("do not not divide, crush, chew, or dissolve the tablet") was discovered. Customers don't need to return the products, which have the correct wording on the blister packs that hold the tablets. No adverse events have been reported as a result of the typo, J&J says.
- Earlier in February, J&J said it was pulling at least 395 injection pens preloaded with rheumatoid-arthritis drug Simponi because they may not deliver a full dose of the drug.
- Days before, Dow Jones Newswires reported that the company's Ethicon unit recently recalled 700,000 vials of a liquid wound sealant and also a hernia-treatment product.
- Earlier that week, J&J said it was recalling 70,000 syringes preloaded with its Invega injectable anti-psychotic drug because cracks have been found in the syringes that could theoretically lead to infections or under-dosing in users.
- In January J&J said it would pull 43 million bottles of certain Tylenol, Benadryl, Sinutab and Sudafed products because they were made at the company's Ft. Washington, Pa., plant at a time when equipment may not have been properly cleaned. J&J also said it would pull almost 4 million units of Rolaids due to a labeling problem.
- In December the company said it was recalling all lots of Rolaids Extra Strength Softchews, Rolaids Extra Strength Plus Gas Softchews and Rolaids Multi-Symptom Plus Anti-Gas Softchews following consumer reports of foreign-particle contamination.
- A few weeks earlier J&J recalled a dozen different Mylanta liquid products and one AlternaGEL product because they were mislabeled to omit the presence of small amount of alcohol. (Consumers don't need to stop using the products or return them to stores.) And it separately widened a recall of daily-use contact lenses in Japan and elsewhere due to traces of an acid that can cause stinging. Contacts made in the U.S. aren't affected.
- In November the company recalled three Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom products, also pulled from retailers and wholesalers due to an alcohol labeling issue. Consumers can keep taking the meds, J&J says.
- Also in November the company also recalled children's Benadryl and Motrin products. Again, J&J said they weren't dangerous and consumers didn't have to stop taking them.
- In October, there was a recall of 127,000 bottles of Tylenol 8-Hour caplets due to a musty odor.
- In August, J&J's DePuy Orthopedics unit pulled two hip implants off the market because of an unusually high rate of replacement surgeries.
- Also in August there was a recall — the one that was recently widened — of about 100,000 boxes of 1-Day Acuvue TruEye contact lenses.
- Some OTC medicines were pulled in July, including varieties of Benadryl, Tylenol and Motrin. This was a follow-up to a recall of musty-smelling products made at a plant in Puerto Rico.
- In June, the company widened the recall of drugs made at the Puerto Rican plant by five lots.
- The largest batch of children's medicines were pulled in the spring.
- In late 2009 there were recalls of Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplets due to that musty odor issue.
- J&J officially recalled batches of Motrin in July 2009, but has come under fire for an earlier so-called "phantom recall" of the product.
Update: Adds more detail from updated DJN story.

Riesling is the most versatile of grapes. A wine made of the varietal can be dry or sweet, depending on the ripeness of the grape at harvest and the wine maker's intention. The grape can be used to make Late Harvest sophisticated dessert wines, or bracing, racy, bone dry wines, and lots in between.
Why then, do many wine drinkers shun the varietal? When asked, the response includes a scrunchy face "too sweet." Riesling's traditional homes, Germany and the Alsace region of France, have short growing seasons. Hence, in many years a dry wine may be the only choice of a vintner. The fruit may not naturally ripen to a point where a sweet wine can be made. A vintner then must choose between adding sugar, or producing a dryer wine. Because the number of climates in the world that are able to fully ripen wine grapes is limited, sweet wines have been perennially valued. Particularly, those wines that tantalize the palate by having a good balance of acidity.
This is where Riesling reigns supreme. A well-made Riesling will have a mouth watering acidity that is irresistible. This not only balances the sweet on your palate, it also enables the wine to age. Time will allow complexities in the wine to be revealed. A well-made Riesling can be cellared for years.
Another big advantage to Riesling is that it pairs well with so many foods. It even tastes good with hard to match foods, such as ham, asparagus and artichokes. Its acidity goes well with rich foods, yet it also enhances spicier foods like curries and sushi. It tastes well as an aperitif and with dessert.
If you are one of the unfortunate who have not tasted the range of Rieslings, here are some suggestions for you to taste firsthand why this varietal has been so valued over time:
Trimbach Riesling 2006 Alsace, France $17.99 750 ml (Argonaut Liquors)
A classic Alsatian Riesling, this has a complex bouquet with a minerally acidity sure to surprise those who've only tasted sweet examples of this varietal.
Pacific Rim Dry Riesling 2007 Columbia Valley, Washington $10.99 (Keg Liquors and Heritage Liquors)
The wine is crisp, dry and lush with flavors of citrus, jasmine and minerals.
Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi Dry Riesling 2002 Finger Lakes, New York $18.49 (Argonaut Liquors)
A light, golden hued liquid, fruitier, less mineral flavors, with ripe fruity aromas of melon, pear and pineapple.
Pacific Rim Vin De Glaciere Riesling Selenium Vineyard 2007, Columbia Valley Washington $14.99 375 ml (Keg Liquors)
The Pacific Rim Vin de Glaciere is an Ice Wine made from quite ripe fruit that is frozen to concentrate the grape sugar. The resulting wine is sweet with pear, melon, mango and honey flavors as well as some spice. You'll be surprised that the acidity level makes it taste light and aromatic
Once you have tasted a good representative of this varietal, you'll be justifiably hooked. To learn more about the wonderful flavors of Riesling, click here.
Happy Swirling!

UMass Opens 2013 Season At Home Against Army
Feb. 8, 2013
The Last Meeting
February 10, 2012
West Point, N.Y.
Leading scorers and USILA All-American Garrett Thul returns for his senior season in 2013 after notching 43 points on 39 goals and four assists one year ago, while John Glesener will look to improve upon a freshman campaign that saw the Camillus, N.Y., native notch 16 goals and 17 assists for the Black Knights. The dynamic duo will look to off-set the loss of Conor Hayes (17 goals, 13 assists, 30 points) and Devin Lynch (21, 6, 27) to graduation after Hayes and Lynch finished third and fourth, respectively, in scoring for Army in 2012.
The Black Knights will debut a new starting goalie this year following the graduation of 2012 starter Zach Palmieri, who finished with a 9.31 goals against average and .494 save percentage during the most recent campaign. Army returns three defensemen who saw considerable time keeping foes away from the Black Knights net a season ago in Brendan Buckley, Drew Kearns and Pat Hart. Buckley started all 15 games and tallied 30 caused turnovers to go with 23 groundballs scooped up. Combined, Kearns and Hart added 16 groundballs and 12 caused turnovers as Army finished with a 9.29 goals against average on the year. Overall, the Black Knights outscored foes over their 15 contests, 152-140; however, the opposition recorded a better shot percentage, .300-.274 and shots on goal mark (.589-.566).
Along with Manny's career day, Kyle Smith posted a career-high four goals including a pair of key tallies late in the fourth quarter after Army (0-1) had pulled within a goal.
Tim McCormack picked up with win in cage making eight saves.
The Black Knights were led by Andrew Boyd, Garrett Thul, and John Glesener who each had two goals. Zach Palmieri took the loss in goal making 10 saves.
Smith started the scoring on the day at the 12:18 mark of the first quarter. His goal was followed up by a pair of Manny tallies as the Minutemen took a 3-0 lead with 4:24 left in the first. Army climbed back with a pair of markers to make it a 3-2 game heading into the second quarter.
With a man-up advantage still left from the end of the first, Manny capitalized just 14 seconds into the second quarter giving UMass a 4-2 lead. Colin Fleming added a goal just over two minutes later to put the Minutemen up by three.
Army again answered with a pair of goals, but Manny added his fourth and fifth goals of the first half followed by a man-up score from Smith to give UMass an 8-5 lead at halftime.
The teams traded a pair of goals in the second half with Manny scoring his sixth and seventh tallies in that frame. His unassisted goal off a loose ball outside the crease gave the Minutemen a 10-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Thul scored at the 11:00 mark of the fourth quarter and Glesener added another tally with 7:02 left to pull the Black Knights within one, 10-9, but Smith added another pair of goals and the defense stood tall aided by three saves from McCormack in the final six minutes.
Manny narrowly missed tying the UMass record for most goals in a game when his shot with 5:57 left in the game hit the inside of the backside post.
The Minutemen outshot Army 36-to-32 for the day and were 2-for-3 with the man-up advantage, while holding the Black Knights to just 1-for-3 with the extra man.
Art Kell led the Minutemen with three goals, while Colin Fleming had two goals and an assist. Conor Mooney, Steve D'Amario, Bobby Tyler and Will Manny each posted a goal and an assist each. Defensively, Greg Rushing had three caused turnovers and six groundballs, while Tom Celentani had two caused turnovers and four groundballs. Tim McCormack made 13 saves in goal.
Peter Baum, the nation's leading scorer coming into the contest, Matt Baker, and Ryan Walsh each scored twice for Colgate (14-3). Baum and Walsh each added assists as well. Conor Murphy made his first career start in goal making a game-high 15 saves to earn his first career win.
UMass jumped out to a 3-0 lead to start the game as Kell opened up the scoring just under four minutes into the contest. Fleming scored back-to-back goals as the Minutemen looked sharp in the first 10 minutes of play. Colgate's Brendon McCann got the Raiders on the board with 2:49 left in the quarter as UMass to a 3-1 lead into the second.
Mooney put UMass back up by three just 43 seconds into the second, but seven seconds later, Chris Zielinski scored off the faceoff making the score 4-2.
The Minutemen stretched the lead to 7-2 thanks to three straight goals, but Colgate responded with a three goal run to close the second quarter with UMass leading 7-5 at halftime.
Out of the intermission, it looked as if the Minutemen had regained momentum scoring two straight on goals from D'Amario and Kell to go up 9-5 with 9:54 left in the third. Four straight Colgate goals punctuated by Baker's second of the game with 37 seconds to go tied the game 9-9. Anthony Toresco popped the next faceoff towards goal, collected the groundball and then scored six seconds after Baker's tally to give the lead back to UMass 10-9.
Patrick Campbell's first goal of the season tied the game for the third time at the 10:25 mark of the fourth. Just under two minutes later, Anthony Biscardi netted his first goal of the game to put the Minutemen back on top 11-10.
Walsh tied the game again with 7:58 to go followed by Zielinski's second of the game giving Colgate its first lead of the game, 12-11, with 7:12 left in regulation.
Murphy made three saves and the Raider defense block a pair of UMass shots and forced a pair of turnovers to hold the Minutemen at bay to seal the win. UMass had three possessions in the final three minutes of the quarter, but were unable to capitalize.
During the announcement, the CAA also recognized senior attack Will Manny as the preseason conference player of the year while tabbing Colin Fleming, Ryan Hollenbaugh and Jake Smith to join Manny on the preseason all-CAA listing.
Nationally, the Minutemen are featured in each of the major polls, including ranking 12th in the USILA Coaches Ranking and 13th in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Top-20.
Then-junior attack Will Manny finished the campaign as a Tewaaraton Award finalist with 77 points on 44 goals and 33 assists, also taking home USILA First Team All-America and New England and CAA Player of the Year laurels. Classmate Jake Smith also tallied USILA All-America honors along with Anthony Biscardi, Tom Celentani, Art Kell and Tim McCormack while Greg Cannella was named the CAA Coach of the Year.
At No. 1 in the April 16 USILA Coaches Poll and No. 2 in the April 16 Media Poll, the UMass men's lacrosse program achieved its highest national ranking ever. Prior to being ranked No. 2 for three weeks (March 27 - April 9), the previous high for a national ranking was No. 3, which the Minutemen did this season, in 2003 and in 2001.
The 15 wins on the year also tied for the 15th-most in NCAA history. The all-time NCAA record for wins in a season is 18, accomplished by Duke in 2008.
The Minutemen have the seventh-best win mark among all teams in the NCAA since 2001 with a 124-58 record for a 68.1 win percentage mark. This total includes six seasons with 12 or more wins, including a school record 15 victories last year. Nationally, Duke leads the way in most wins (148) while Virginia follows with 147.
The 182 combined points from the trio accounts for 52.9 percent of UMass' total (344) while the trio also holds 110 of UMass' 207 goals scored (53.1).
Of the top-25 point producers in the country, UMass has faced nine of them, holding six in the group to two points or fewer in games against the Minutemen. Bucknell's Billy Eisenrich posted six points on three goals and three assists in the Bison's 12-9 loss to UMass, while Joe Resetarits had a trio of goals and an assist in Albany's defeat to the Minutemen while Peter Baum had a pair of goals and an assist for No. 9 Colgate during the NCAA Tournament First Round.
The Minutemen put the man-down unit to the test over the final five games, taking at least five penalties in each, including 10 in the Towson and Drexel games during the CAA Tournament. Prior to that stretch, UMass had taken five or more penalties in a game just twice.
Colin Fleming led the squad in man-up goals with seven on the year while Will Manny, Kyle Smith and Art Kell each produced six.

I am a true beginner as far as MPLS is concerned and I was wondering if this would be possible; To be more specific assume a LSP (Label Switched Path) from
Host A -> Router 1-> Router 2 -> Router 3 -> Host B
Each of the above routers would be a LSR (label switched router) of course having its own LIB (label information base). Now assume that Host A would like to send a packet to B, and assume that the label distribution would take place using plain LDP (Label Distribution Protocol).
If I am correct, after signaling has taken place between them, router 3 will decide upon a label, suppose
Label 1, to accept in its particular interface with router 2 that if a packet has will be forwarded to host B. Similarly, router 2 will set up in its LIB that for this LSP every packet forwarded to router 3 has to leave interface x with a label
Label 1, and has to let router 1 know that in order to forward a packet in this LSP it has to send it over to it with
Label 2. Finally, router 1 sets up its LIB in the way that when a packet going to host B enters the MPLS cloud from the interface with Host A,it will be assigned label
Label 2 by Router 1.
Therfore, the label path would be
---(No label) -> Label 2 -> Label 1 -> ---(No label)
So, my actual question is could Label 1 be the same as Label 2, thus making the most efficient use of labels (using as less as possible)? I am perfectly aware of the fact that you can use 2^20 labels (correct me if I am wrong), but assume that you have to be as efficient as possible for the sake of an exercise. I also know that you can use the same label in the same LIB for different input interfaces (i.e. it is not the label itself that matters but the pair Input Interface & Label that will define how the packet will be forwarded).
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you all for your time.

Comic for June 25, 2016
1 hour ago
Well that makes me feel better. After reading your previous story, I was worried the portrait might have been started under the old director of liturgy, thus placing Benedict in more colorful and less traditional garments. I need to get a copy of that portrait to hang in my home.
The garments certainly are colorful, and the visage quite grim. No happiness there.
What a comment! Would you prefer a clown nose?
Holy Father looks like he's smoking a cigar. That picture needs a few touch-ups, I reckon.

Tips & Tricks
Achalasia is an esophageal disorder that causes smooth muscle fiber failure which results in the closing down of sphincter. It disturbs the functioning of esophagus which is a tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. When sphincter closes and does not process food this disorder arises.
Key Facts of
Smooth muscle fibers fail to relax when a person suffers from Achalasia.
Sphincter does not open when needed to transfer food from mouth to the stomach and therefore food doesn't reach the stomach causing it to feel empty even though a person is eating.
It causes backflow of food that comes in.
It is also called:
Esophageal achalasia.
Achalasia cardiae.
Esophageal aperistalsis.
It can emerge from any point such as gastrointestinal tract or even rectum in some cases.
It causes incomplete sphincter relaxation and the food processing gets affected.
It can turn fatal if not managed well in time.
It is a rare condition.
Can affect any age group and any gender.
Known to be inherited in some people.
Causes of Achalasia
There are some known Achalasia causes that have been identified to be causing this disorder. These have been listed below for reference:
Failure of the smooth muscle fiber to relax.
Closing down of sphincter when relaxation does not take place.
Cancer of the esophagus or upper stomach.
Parasite infection.
Chagas disease.
Hereditary factors.
Symptoms of Achalasia
There are some key Achalasia symptoms that make the identification much easier for a medical practitioner. These include:
Weight loss which is totally unintentional.
Nerve damage.
Frequent muscles pain.
Difficulties in digestion.
Difficulty swallowing food
Feeling of stomach being empty.
Chest pain.

Official Look At The Ghostbusters Ecto-1 LEGO Set
This are the first official images of the new Ghostbusters LEGO set. It looks like a fun one. It'll be released in June for around $50. Released tomorrow for $10,000? Hopefully my girlfriend, on bail. She, uh, she's a real firecracker. Plus an arsonist apparently.
Keep going for two more shots including a closeup of the four minifigs. Sorry, no Slimer.
Thanks to Limpy, who ain't afraid of no ghosts. Men with knives, yes.

This is a good tasting recipe, but too "heavy" with eggs, sausage, beans, and croutons. I made it a second time without the croutons and enjoyed it much more. I love cooking everything in one skillet and you can play around with different ingredients: I substituted kale for the rabe and it was delicious.
One-Skillet Bean & Broccoli Rabe Supper
From EatingWell: September/October 2009, EatingWell on a Budget (2010)
If beans and greens are not a part of your regular menu, this one-pot dish will change your mind. Sausage and garlic flavor the broccoli rabe and beans while the big, rustic croutons soak up the broth.

College Hockey:Northeastern Downs Colgate
Huskies Win Third In A Row
TROY, N.Y. — Freshman Ray Ortiz scored two goals — including the game-winner — and added an assist to lead Northeastern past Colgate, 6-4, in the first round of the 53rd Annual Rensselaer/HSBC Holiday Tournament at the Houston Field House Sunday afternoon.
The three-game win streak is the Huskies' longest since Nov. 23-30, 2002, when NU reeled off wins over Quinnipiac, St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
"I thought we got off to a good start, but played poorly on faceoffs which led to a couple of goals," said NU coach Bruce Crowder. "Overall, I think we played a solid game and executed well in the second period. I was most pleased with the third period. We didn't allow the other team to score in the third for the third game in a row and played smart hockey to protect our lead."
Ortiz wasn't the only player to record three points. Both Jason Guerriero and Mike Morris had a goal and two assists. Steve Sanders had a goal and an assist and Yale Lewis had two helpers. The six-goal output by NU was its highest since falling to Boston University, 7-6, on Nov. 1, 2002.
The Husky defense limited the Raiders to 18 shots, including three in the final 20 minutes. It was the third straight game, Northeastern held its opponent to five shots or fewer in the final stanza.
Freshman Aaron Moore opened up the floodgates in the first period with his first career goal at the 1:37 mark. Moore stuffed in his own rebound after collecting a feed from Ortiz. In each of the last five games a Husky skater has registered his first collegiate goal.
Just over a minute later Colgate's Joey Mormina snapped Keni Gibson's shutout streak at 131 minutes and 33 seconds. Kyle Doyle won a faceoff at the left circle in the Husky zone and sent the puck back to Mormina, who ripped a slapshot past Gibson's stick side. The goal also snapped NU's seven-game streak of holding opponents scoreless in the first 20 minutes of play.
Ortiz answered for the Huskies with a power-play goal at 7:14 of the first to put NU ahead 2-1. Ortiz wristed a shot past CU goalie David Cann, beating him glove side, from the slot. Steve Birnstill and Lewis assisted on the play.
The Raiders responded with two unanswered goals to take a 3-2 advantage into the first intermission. Kyle Wilson tied the game at 2 with a power-play goal at 15:05. Wilson was left open at the far post and fired the puck home. Just 42 seconds later, Justin Spencer lofted a wrist shot from right point over Gibson's right shoulder. Dave Thomas had won a face off and sent the puck back to Spencer who managed to beat the screened goalie.
The Huskies held a 10-8 shot advantage after the first period.
Morris tallied his second goal of the season on 5-on-3 power play to tie the game at 4 two minutes into the second period. Tim Judy sent the puck from the point to Guerriero in the low post. Guerriero quickly sent the puck across the crease to Morris, who one-timed the puck into the open net.
Colgate regained the lead seven minutes later on a power-play goal by Mormina at 9:25 of the second. Mormina took a pass from Kyle Doyle along the left boards and rifled a shot over Gibson's left shoulder.
This time the Huskies potted two unanswered goals to end the period and take a one-goal edge into the intermission. Sanders scored his second goal in as many games finishing nifty passing play from Guerriero and Morris with 7:11 remaining in the second. Ortiz gave gave NU a 5-4 lead 24 seconds later on a partial breakaway.
Jon Awe hit Ortiz with a crisp pass as he was speeding up the ice. With a Colgate defender draped over his back, Ortiz skated in on Cann. The goalie went down as Ortiz neared the net and Ortiz managed to flip a backhander over Cann and into the net.
Guerriero provided NU with a pretty insurance goal with 9:32 left in the contest. Morris took a pass from Sanders and dished the puck to Guerriero for a breakaway. The speedster went hard toward the net, drawing Cann to the center of the crease before lifting a backhander into the top-left corner.
NU's third straight win improves the Huskies' record to 3-9-2, while Colgate slips to 7-7-2. Northeastern will play the winner of Mercyhurst/Rensselaer in the tournament championship Monday night at 7 p.m.

Start making plans now! Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced their royal wedding date is set for Friday, April 29, 2011. The happy couple will be married at Westminster Abbey in London. Royal wedding at Westminster Abbey chosen for beauty, intimacy historic royal connections. April 29's royal wedding will be a public holiday. A spokesperson for Prince Charles assures the British taxpayers that "The royal family will pay for the wedding, following the precedence set by the marriages of the prince and princess of Wales in 1981 and Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947." However, Prime Minister David Cameron said that the government will pay for other additional costs concerning transportation and security.
Westminster Abbey has been the 'official church' for the English royalty since it's construction in 1245. Not only do most of the royal weddings take place there, but also coronations of the new kings and queens. The Abbey was originally founded in 960, shortly before the invasion by the Normans in 1066.
Kate Middleton was seen at West Minster Abbey last week with her parents, obviously checking out the location as arrangements begin for her marriage to Prince William. The 29th of April will be a national holiday, according to PM David Cameron. The Parliament in Scotland has yet to vote on likewise declaring a national holiday. Cameron recently unleashed a massive austerity program slashing government spending, employees and benefits.
The last royal wedding at Westminster Abbey was that of the then Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip in 1947. Prince Charles married Princess Diana at St. Paul's Cathedral in 1981. In 1997, Princess Diana's funeral was held ay Westminster Abbey, an event which the whole world watched.
Prince William and Kate Middleton announced the royal wedding date set is April 29, 2011. Royal wedding to be at Westminster Abbey chosen for beauty, intimacy historic royal connections. April 29 royal wedding is a public holiday in England. Many expect the world to be equally enthusiastic about the upcoming wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton. April 29th may have been chosen as it is St. Catherine's Day on the Anglican calendar. The royal palace has recently begun referring to Kate Middleton as "Catherine".

Wick, W; Platten, M; Weller, M (2009). New (alternative) temozolomide regimens for the treatment of glioma. Neuro-Oncology, 11(1):69-79.
View at publisher
One barrier to successful treatment of malignant glioma is resistance to alkylating agents such as temozolomide. The cytotoxic activity of temozolomide and other alkylating agents is believed to be manifested largely by the formation of O-methylguanine DNA adducts. Consequently, the primary mechanism of resistance to temozolomide is a function of the activity of the DNA repair enzyme O-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). Fortuitously, MGMT is inactivated after each reaction (ie, suicide enzyme). Therefore, if the rate of DNA alkylation were to outpace the rate of MGMT protein synthesis, the enzyme could, in theory, be depleted. Several studies have shown that prolonged exposure to temozolomide can deplete MGMT activity in blood cells, a process that could potentially increase the antitumor activity of the drug. To date, however, there are limited data demonstrating the depletion of MGMT activity in tumor tissue exposed to temozolomide. A variety of dosing schedules that increase the duration of exposure and the cumulative dose of temozolomide are currently being investigated for the treatment of glioma, with the goal of improving antitumor activity and overcoming resistance. These alternative dosing regimens have been shown to deplete MGMT activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but the regimen that provides the best balance between enhanced antitumor activity and acceptable hematologic toxicity has yet to be determined.

Natural gas offers tremendous opportunities for reducing the use of petroleum in transportation. Medium and heavy-duty fleets, which have significant potential to use natural gas, currently consume more than a third of the petroleum in transportation in the U.S. Natural gas is an excellent fit for a wide range of heavy-duty applications, especially transit buses, refuse haulers, and Class 8 long-haul or delivery trucks. In addition, natural gas can be a very good choice for light-duty vehicle fleets with central refueling. See the Alternative Fuels Data Center for a description of the uses and benefits of natural gas vehicles or its Laws and Incentives database for information on tax incentives. The Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) supports the development of natural gas engines and research into renewable natural gas production.
VTO has supported the development of natural gas engines for heavy-duty vehicles since 1992. In fact, nearly all heavy-duty natural gas engines sold in the U.S. today can trace their roots to DOE's support of research and/or partnerships between VTO and industry. In particular, VTO's work with Cummins-Westport led to the development of their 8.9 L ISL G engine, which met EPA's 2010 emissions standards years before the requirement. More recently, VTO worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the California Energy Commission, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District to support projects to develop highly efficient natural gas engines for medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses. For example, Cummins-Westport has developed an 11.9 L natural gas engine that they are integrating into refuse trucks and Class 8 delivery trucks. These engines have been highly successful, with an increasing number of fleets adopting natural gas for a wider range of applications. VTO continues to work with stakeholders to discuss research needs for natural gas engines and vehicles through the Natural Gas Vehicle Technology Forum.
To increase the sustainability of natural gas, VTO has also supported research into the production of renewable natural gas. Renewable natural gas is a purified version of biomethane that results from decomposition at landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and livestock facilities. When it is used in vehicles in place of diesel, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 88 percent or more. For more information on this fuel's potential, see the AFDC's renewable natural gas resources. Collaborating with industry and national laboratories, VTO demonstrated the feasibility of purifying biomethane from landfills. This project also identified more than 300 landfills producing biomethane that could each produce up to 20,000 gallons of liquefied natural gas per day. Since then, further research has identified more than 8,000 livestock facilities that could also support renewable natural gas production. Building on this work and often with the assistance of Clean Cities coalitions, a number of companies have since implemented this technology. Now, landfills and livestock facilities are using this technology to produce fuel and power local natural gas vehicles, including refuse haulers, milk haulers, and transit buses. With VTO's support, the organization Energy Vision recently released a guide for developing renewable natural gas projects.
For more information on VTO's support of research into natural gas engines, contact Kevin Stork.
