TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
In a battle of NCAA Champions, the Alabama gymnastics team came out on top against the UCLA Bruins Friday night, 197.075-196.375 in front of 11,775 fans in Coleman Coliseum.
"This was a big competition for us for a lot of different reasons," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "I felt like our team needed to cross over that 197-threshold and now this is our third meet in a row that we've done that."
Junior Kim Jacob won her fifth all-around title of the season, tying her career-high of 39.425. It was Alabama's first non-conference meet of the season and eighth meet of the season. It was UA's third consecutive 197-plus score.
"We weren't perfect today, but I can see that there are a lot of improvements," Patterson said. "We had some people step in. Ashley Sledge has a sore foot and if this was the national championship, I probably would have let her go on vault and floor. But based on the fact that we need her in the end, I thought it was an opportunity to get some other people out there and that being said, I think some of them did a great job."
Sophomore Kaitlyn Clark led the Crimson Tide on the vault with a 9.9, which ties her season and career-best score. Freshman Lauren Beers scored a 9.85 while junior Diandra Milliner chipped in a 9.875 on the vault.
Senior Ashley Sledge opened for the Tide uneven bars rotation with a 9.85, pacing Alabama to a 49.0 team score. Senior Ashley Priess added a 9.825 in the anchor spot while Jacob and senior Becca Alexin posted matching 9.8s.
On the balance beam, Jacob tied her season-high of 9.9 while Priess scored a season-best 9.925 to push the Tide to a 49.350. Junior Sarah DeMeo rebounded from a falls during uneven bars routine to score a 9.85 on the beam, a score Milliner matched as the Tide's leadoff.
"That was awesome for Sarah DeMeo," Jacob said. "She's a competitor and she's experienced, so she knows exactly how to come back and she definitely stepped it up. But we knew she would do that because she's been here three years and every time she puts on a great routine."
The Tide closed strong with a 49.450 on the floor exercise paced by career-best 9.95s from Jacob and Milliner. DeMeo and Priess both chipped in 9.875s on the floor.
"I think tonight was a great meet for us and we've been talking each week about having a springboard performance and using each meet to launch us to the next meet," Priess said. I think we did a really great job with that tonight. I think we just need to continue to progress and work on different areas to be excellent and it's going to pay off in the end."
Alabama returns to the road for its next meet, traveling to Baton Rouge, La., for a Southeastern Conference showdown on March 8, before returning to Coleman Coliseum to close out the regular season against No. 1 Oklahoma on March 15. Tickets are available through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) or online at RollTide.com.

Linux Continues to Define the Future of Computing While Microsoft Follows
It is hard for the executive director of the Linux Foundation to feel bad for Microsoft, but they are having a bad week while Linux continues to move forward in innovative ways into new markets for computing. Let's take a look at the difference between Microsoft and Linux this week:
Monday: Microsoft starts its week with a front page story in the Wall St. Journal titled, "Microsoft Battles Low-Cost Rival for Africa." In the article Microsoft is documented engaging in questionable practices against a Linux competitor that is springing up across Africa not because of any corporate conspiracy, but because it is free and open.
Tuesday: Microsoft reveals "Windows 7" which is widely regarded as an attempt to right the wrong that is Vista. Headlines were brutal: Infoworld: "Windows 7: The 'dog food' tastes bad", Dallas News: "Microsoft previews Windows 7, and it looks like… Vista", Computerworld: "Is Windows 7's new UAC just lipstick on a pig?" and "Windows 7, Office 14 to create bigger lame ducks than George W. Bush."
Tuesday: Microsoft also announced its cloud computing platform summed up best at ZDNet: "Microsoft's Azure cloud platform: A guide for the perplexed." No licensing, pricing and due date information. This for something that Amazon has offered with a Linux based solution for over a year on the EC2 Cloud.
We aren't even half way through the week yet and Microsoft is either getting battered or following technical trends already blazed by Linux. In contrast, Linux is having a great week.
Monday: The New York Times shows how Linux may actually ship on more desktops next year that Windows, albeit in an unconventional way with instant on boot. "Instant-on machines represent a new opportunity for the open-source Linux operating system, which can compete with Windows."
Wednesday: HP reveals it is rolling out a Linux based Notebook computer with Linux. Their HP Mini 1000 with MIE (Mobile Internet Experience) a Linux based OS will ship with a $379 price point. They are following moves by Dell, Asus, Lenovo, and others to ship low price Linux PC's. It is also worth noting that Microsoft had to extend the life of Windows XP in order to even compete in this market.
Thursday: Intel and Taiwan announces they are teaming up on mobile Linux development lab. The lab will work on creating Moblin based devices in one of the most promising categories of computing.
Linux on more laptops than Windows? Dell, HP, Asus, Lenovo and others shipping Linux desktops at unheard of prices? Microsoft stuck in a rut needing to follow rather than lead? And I only hit on a few things going on in Linux this week. As we reach the end of 2008, 2009 is shaping up to be a pretty good year for Linux.

The problem here is , i have built foundation AND a Room aka the Garage,
but i cannot connect the [Room/Garage] -to-> [Foundation] But
it won't let me because it considers it tile. So it
leaves 1 [ square ] open. Now this means, i can't have
a foundation with a garage next to it.
2nd Picture)
Ok, now i tried to figure it out and i decided to skip the
foundation and just lay down walls. I lay down my wall,
get my garage and get it to look like the way i truly
want it. Everything goes great until i put the front
door in. It won't let me put in a front door on the
2nd level coming up from after the stairs, i tried
to put columns to see if that would basically
support the door and the rest of the flooring, but nothing.

I am searching for a very fast file syncing software to synchronize data across multiple machines, across multiple sites. Something like Dropbox or Spideroak.
The software should fulfill the following two criteria:
1) and most important. It should be very fast. If I change a file, the upload to the server should start within 10s. The other connected machines should start downloading asap as soon as the upload completes. If the software would support locking the file in question it would be great.
2) it should support client side encryption.
Dropbox is not suitable because of the second point, Spideroak is not suitable because of the first (sometimes I got very disappointing results).
What file syncing tools are you using? What can you recommend?
EDIT: The computers are all running linux systems.
EDIT2: I have 4-5 sites in mind. Unfortunatelly they have not very huge uploads. The worst (my home office;-)) has only a DSL connection with 80 kb/s upload. Putting something together myself is not an option, since I am searching for a solution with moderate costs and reliability ;-). I have root access at all the clients in question.

Bernard and Shirley Kinsey have explored and celebrated their African American heritage by collecting items of historical and cultural significance throughout their more than 40-year marriage— from an early version of the Emancipation Proclamation to correspondence between Malcolm X and Alex Haley, and from slave shackles to a 1773 first-edition copy of poems by Phillis Wheatley. The collection spans nearly four centuries and documents the hardships and the triumphs of the African American experience. "The Kinsey Collection: Shared Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey— Where Art and History Intersect" will be on view Oct. 15 through May 1, 2011, in the National Museum of African American History and Culture Gallery in the National Museum of American History at 14th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W. in Washington.
More than 100 items from the collection are brought together for a new exhibition organized by the Bernard and Shirley Kinsey Foundation for the Arts and Education in collaboration with the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Among the items are bills of sale, advertisements, letters and legal papers documenting the slave trade, hand-colored tintypes from the Civil War era and items spotlighting key moments in the civil rights movement, including the Woolworth store boycotts and the 1963 March on Washington. A history of the African American in art is charted through works by numerous celebrated artists, including Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, Sam Gilliam, Palmer Hayden, Richard Hunt, Lois Mailou Jones, Artis Lane, Richard Mayhew, James Porter and Henry O. Tanner.

Thousands of animal lovers gathered on the West Lawn of the Capitol Saturday for the One Million Pibble March; a protest and informational guide to the misunderstood bull terriers affectionately known as "Pibbles" in the ever increasing world of animal rescue and protection.
The peaceful and emotional demonstration (no dogs allowed) theme was designed to demonstrate against "breed-specific legislation" - laws that ban or otherwise restrict ownership of dogs by breed, mostly focused on pit bulls.
Leading the march was Rebecca Corry, president of the Stand Up for Pits Foundation. According to Corry's website, over 4,500 people attended the march, and there were no shortages of pit bull inspired tee shirts, placards, and stories supporting the wonderful world of the Pibbles and all who support the breed.
Corry, a well-known comedian starring in such productions as King of Queens, Comedy Central and Last Comic Standing puts her bully mouth with her proactive support of the breed. With her bully dog Angel, who Corry rescued with another dog after the strays were found roaming the streets of south central Los Angeles, has become a model of kindness and responsible dog ownership and respect for all breeds.
Angel was found with acid burns down her back, her ears had been lopped off with a straight edged razor, and used as a bait dog in dog fighting. Angel was about to be euthanized when Corry rescued her. Sadly, the dog with Angel did not survive surgery.
And there was no shortage of celebrities who share their homes and their hearts with "Pibbles."
According to the Huffington Post, police officer Kelly Steinhorn told about her pit bull Pretzel and how he was found with his throat slashed and open stab wounds to his chest. And even with that, Steinhorn cooed about the dog's forgiveness and how wonderful of a companion he has since become.
Then there was Jamie Buehrle, wife of baseball star Mark Buehrle who sang the praises of her pittie named Slater, Chris Williams - younger brother of Vanessa Williamns and handsome Baltimore cop, Jon Boyer, who although has a special preference for rescuing our feline friends, says "yes" to the beautiful breed of pit bulls.
During the rally, there was no denying the best advice for anyone loving any dog in the world:
Any dog breed can be trained to be aggressive. Please report animal cruelty.

THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confession and Dying Words OF PATRICK McCARTY, Who was executed at Russel-street, Covent-Garden, On SATURDAY the Twenty-fifth October, 1760.
For the Murder of WILLIAM TALBOT.
BEING THE Sixth EXECUTION in the MAYORALTY OF THE Rt. Hon. Sir THOMAS CHITTY, Knt . LORD-MAYOR of the CITY OF LONDON. NUMBER V. for the said YEAR.
LONDON: Printed and sold by J. DIXWELL, in St. Martin's-Lane, near Charing-Cross,for the AUTHOR: Also Sold by M. COOPER, in Pater-nosfter-Row.[Prince Six-PENCE.]
- Et virgo cde madentes Ultima clestum terras Astra reliouit. Ovid. Metam. Lib. I.
From blood-stain'd Earth, untainted justice slies, Last of the Gods, and claims her native Skies.
The heinous crime of murder carries so many high aggravations in the name and idea of it, that it can scarce admit of any heightening. So strong and deep is the native colour of this guilt, that no tongue, no pencil, no instrument of human imagination can strike it deeper; it mocks all description; it can only be felt; and may none who read this, ever feel it! So keen, so intolerably pungent is the sense of it, to those who are not past feeling.
An immortal spirit driven sudden from his earthly house, unprovided, unprepared for, unsecured of, that better, that heavenly mansion, for which it is formed by the Father of Spirits; and out of which celestial abode it can never find true and permanent felicity: his lot cast for all eternity, in the midst of a thousand follies, frailties, and faults, which cannot dwell with celestial happiness; but must depress the spirit, and, if not supported by the consolation, and raised with the hope of healing peace and heavenly pardon, from the supreme judge, must sink it (as sure as bodies gravitate to their center) to that abyss of misery prepared for the destroyer of his angels. What lot more terrible? what thought more amazing and alarming than this?
The poet from whom the motto is borrowed, is justly thought by the best critics, to have derived his notions and description of the creation, the deluge, the gradual degeneracy of mankind, and decay of piety, (which provoked that deluge, and which are well represented in his four ages of the world) from a higher source than heathen mythology, even from the writings of Moses, to which his poetical rhapsodies are in many instances so conformable. In proof of this, consider the sentiments delivered by Moses in the sacred oracles. Gen. iv. 10, 11. The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground, and now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her Mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy band, &c. And again, Gen. vi. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence, &c. v. 12, 13. And behold I will destroy them with the earth.
After the flood, the fame crying sin is forbidden, and guarded against with the wisest cautions, and the surest and severest sanctions of Divine vengeance, Gen. ix. v. 3 - 6. At the same time that the royal grant of animal food is given from heaven, without which charter man has no right to the life of the meanest living creature, blood and murder are warned against and warded off. But flesh which is the life thereof, which is the blood thereof shall you not eat. And surety your blood of your lives will I require, &c. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. The like precepts and sanctions are conveyed by the law and the prophets; and with greater authority by him who came not to destroy but to save life.
On this supposition, 'tis no wonder if the goddess of justice be represented in the stile of heathen poetry, as flying from earth to heaven, detesting the horrors of a world drenched in blood; strongly conveying, and beautifully insinuating, this great truth, that murder is against every rule of natural right, most offensive to the deity and his
attribute of justice; and in consequence that the disposal and resuming of life is a prerogative royal of the sole giver of life, which none should presume to invade without a warrant from the supreme power conveyed thro' the channels of proper and regular authority: - that he communicates his power for the purposes of his universal kingdom, the good of the whole, to his vice-gerents on earth; since by him Kings reign, and Princes decree justice, Prov. viii. 15. Rom. xiii. 4. Whose sword is put into their hands, not to be wielded in vain; and through them conveyed to the ministers of their just and lawful commands, from the highest to the lower ranks of men, whether in the civil or military line; who by these direct means derive their authority over the life of a transgressor, or a public enemy, from the Fountain of all power.
The argument, therefore, against murder, whether of self, or another, drawn from this principle, is valid and impregnable; and "great pity it is" that the niblers at it, in a late Magazine, did not seriously and sagaciously consider this before they began to shew and apply their teeth to that file: because,
- Fragili qu
rens illidere dentem, Offendet silido.
HOR. L. II. Sat. 1.
This attack came from a quarter, whence by the shew and the colours they hang out, it should be least expected. The Gentleman's Magazine should keep up to its title, by giving more gentleman-like treatment, by exhibiting proofs of an extensive knowledge, of candid thoughts and behaviour, becoming a gentleman's education.
But if to curtail, misrepresent, and then abuse a performance; if to plunder and maim a traveller, and then sneer at him, become the assumed character of a gentleman, it must be owned, that in this instance, the compiler, like Mackh - th, has top'd his Part.
The better morals and sentiments of the heathen poet, will one day rise in judgment against those who disgrace the more venerable name we bear, and the superior degrees of light, of grace and truth, which are daily offered to us.
With some out-lines of the same poet's description of the iron age, applicable to the tragic scene before us, I beg leave to close this introduction.
-"De duro est ultima serro
Protinus irrumpit ven pejoris in vum
Omne nesas; fugere pudor, verumque fidesque
In quorum subiere locum, fraudesque dolique,
Insidique & vis, & amor sceleratus habendi."
- Hard steel succeeded then;
And stubborn as the metal were the men.
Truth, modesty, and shame the world for sook;
Fraud, avarice, and force, their places took.
"Jamque nocens ferrum, ferroque nocentius aurum
Prodierat; prodit bellum quod pugnat utroque;
Sanguineaque manu crepitantia concutit arma.
Vivitur ex rapto."
Thus cursed steel, and more accursed gold,
Gave mischief birth, and made that mischief bold;
And double death did wretched man invade,
By steel assaulted, and by gold betray'd.
Now brandish'd weapons glitt'ring in their hands,
Mankind is broken loose from moral bands.
THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour Confession, and Dying Words; &c.
By virtue of the King's commission of the peace, and oyer and terminer, for the city of London, and at the general sessions of gaol delivery of Newgate, holden for the city of London and county of Middlesex at Justice-hall in the Old Baily, before the Right Honourable Sir Thomas Chitty, Knt . Lord Mayor , the Honourable Mr. Justice Clive, one of the Judges of his Majesty's court of Common Pleas; Sir Sidney Stafford Smythe, Knt . one of the Barons of his Majesty's court of Exchequer; Sir William Moreton, Knt . Recorder , and others his Majesty's Justices of oyer and terminer for the said city and county; on Wednesday the 22d, Thursday the 23d, and Friday the 24th of October, in the 34th Year of his [late] Majesty's reign, Patrick M'Carty was capitally convicted for the willful murder of William Talbot.
Patrick M'Carty, otherwife Carty, was indicted for the murder of William Talbot, by striking and stabbing him in the left bread, and giving him one wound of fix inches deep, and three quarters of an inch wide, on the 11th of October in the parish of St. Giles in the Fields, of which wound he instantly died.
He was also indicted for the same, on the statute of stabbing, and on the Coroner's jury of inquest.
The nature and circumstances of the crime were pathetically, and in strong terms, but with candour, laid before the court, and jury, by the learned council, for the prosecution, to this effect: that the prisoner at the bar had kept the King's-head , at the corner of Prince's-street, in Drury-lane, about six months ago; but having failed, and kept out of the way, an execution was awarded against him in
the palace court for a debt, which, with the costs, amounted to 4 l. and upwards; that most of the officers of that quarter being afraid to apprehend him, this attempt unhappily fell to the lot of the deceased, who being apprehensive of an escape, sent for four or five officers to prevent it. The prisoner being in custody, demanded what was due? The deceased put his hand to his pocket to find the execution, and tell the exact sum; during which, the prisoner lifted up his hand with a knife eight or nine inches long, like a cook's knife; and while Talbot, (spying it,) strove to defend his head with his left arm, stab'd him under it, in the left breast, cut the great tendon of his heart; he only said, Oh! He has done for me, and expired. The prisoner brandish'd his weapon, made several pushes at others who stood at some distance in the room, clear'd his way, walk'd down Prince's-street with the bloody knife in his hand, was pursued to Vere-street, and Clare-street; and the cry of murder being at his heels, was stopt, surrounded by a soldier, and one or two more; and he having still the instrument of death in his hand, it was with hazard and difficulty wrested from him, and being seized and taken before Justice F - G was committed to Newgate.
All this, with other aggravating circumstances, was proved by seven or eight witnesses on the trial; and what is remarkable, by a ninth witness also, who was called in the prisoner's behalf to prove what provocation he received from the deceased. The trial continued about an hour and a quarter, and the jury brought in their verdict in a few minutes, without going out of court. At his arraignment, and during his trial, his behaviour was better than could be expected from several gloomy symptoms of a disordered mind, which appeared during his consinement; whether real, or affected, let others determine, as they see cause. But at this, juncture he seem'd composed and quite free from any such symptoms, resolute and unconcern'd, except when the evidence was given about the manner in which he struck the mortal blow, attended with an expression of his breath, like that of a paviour beating down the pavingstones with his rammer. His countenance changed, some say, into a convulsive motion like a laugh, others say he wept, but which foever it was, he put up his handkerchief to his face, to hide it, and wiped his eyes. During the trial, he was observed also to change handkerchiefs with his brother, who stood very near him at the bar; on which various furmises and conjectures were raised, either that poison was conveyed thereby to the prisoner, or else that the prisoner had therein delivered something valuable to his brother; he was therefore afterwards questioned by me, concerning the reason of this exchange, and he said, it was only to return his brother's, and get his own handkerchief from him.
Immediately after conviction, sentence of execution was pronounced against him in a very awful, solemn and affecting manner, with an earnest exhortation to him, and prayer for him, that he might by true and hearty repentance be entitled to that mercy in a better world, which could not be extended to him here; and that for this purpose, he might make the best use possible of the very few hours he had to live. And instead of being executed at the usual place, and then delivered to be anatomized, it was judged expedient, in order to deter other desperate debtors, or offenders, especially in that part of the
town, where it is said to be too prevailing, from offering any violence to the officer of law and justice, in the discharge of their duty, to execute him at the crossing of several streets between Dury-lane and Covent-garden, nearly within fight o his late house, where the perfidious and bloody deed was perpetrated, and afterwards that his body should be hung in chains at Finchley-common.
Having thus thrown together what seemed material and striking, concerning his trial, conviction and execution, the reader is desired to accept of the following brief narrative of his behaviour after his commital. When brought to Newgate, on the day of the fact, and within an hour or two after it, as he fat in the tap-room, he is said to have imputed this rash deed to an unguarded passion, and seem'd to relent. When visited next morning, being Sunday, October 12, he lay on his bed in a room on the press-yard side, which he had paid for; but appeared quite restless and uneasy. I could not forbear expressing my great concern to see him in that sad situation, tho' a stranger to him and his case; he answer'd without hesitation, that "his case was very bad; for he had killed a man yesterday." I replied, may God give you grace, to repent of this your crime, and of all those evil courses and steps which have betrayed you to so desperate a. deed; but rise quickly and come up to chapel: he forthwith consented and complied, and was at prayers sooner than I could expect. observing him in chapel, to behave awkwardly, sitting when he should kneel, and making no responses, nor reading the Psalms, he was beckon'd to, and directed to open and use a Prayerbook, which he did, being assisted by some other of the prisoners in turning to the psalms and prayers, to which he seemed to give some attention, though with manifest disturbance and confusion, and without any appearance of composure and comfort. This brought to mind that heavy threatning of the Almighty, by the prophet Ifaiah (i. 15.) When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear, YOUR HANDS ARE FULL OF BLOOD.
Yet through this thick and dark cloud, a gleam of light and hope seems to break, to prevent utter despair, in the words immediately following, v. 16, 18. Wash ye, make ye clean, put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to do evil, learn to do well, - though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The lessons also for the morning service were read, open'd and explain'd, and some proper doctrines and uses raised from them, and applied to this and the rest of the prisoners.
It was not without a particular felicity, that Nebuchadnezzar's setting up the golden image to be worshipped in the empire of Babylon, a type of the corruptions of the church of Rome, (Dan. iii.) fell in for the first lesson; on which occasion were set before them, the general corruption and prostitution of the consciences of all ranks and conditions of men, in submitting to it; except the three Israelites, true servants of the living God, who made a noble stand against this impious and idolatrous decree; the reward of their brave resolution in suffering patiently, for obeying the will of God, rather than the impious command of man, by passing unhurt through the burning fiery furnace: being preserved by the Divine
presence of the Son of God, as this mighty king himself saw and confessed; in consequence of which, he made a decree against dishonouring, or blaspheming the true God; because there is no other God that can deliver after this fort; and promoted his well-tried and faithful servants. These were subjects that should affect the heart of a murderer, bred up in the tenets of persecuting idolatry in that church, which, while it continues unreformed from such doctrines and practices, will ever be a scandal to the laws of God, and the religion of Christ. These proofs should strike him with the strongest and clearest conviction, that he was hitherto in the wrong way; and for the present he really seem'd strongly affected, lifting up his eyes for mercy, when these subjects were touched upon, and when to awaken him to a sense of his guilt, the contrary cause of his expected punishment was laid before him.
The 2d lesson, St. Mark xiv. was also explained and applied, setting before him the great end of Christ's appearance and sufferings in our nature, and the blessed hope of pardon and salvation he might by true repentance, and a lively faith derive to his soul from this most merciful and amazing dispensation of divine love; especially considering what farther occurred in this chapter; viz. Peter's rash deed of cutting off an ear; the dental of his master, with many aggravating circumstances; and yet his conversion and repentance. These were insisted on for an example and admonition to the most heinous offenders not to fall into despair, but like Peter, to think on their own crimes with hearty contrition, to weep and pray for pardon; and that, believing, they should receive it, and become everlasting monuments of the Divine mercy, after the example of this fallen but recover'd and restored disciple of the blessed Jesus, recorded in the gospel for the direction and consolation of the most rash and unguarded sinners.
Notwithstanding he seem'd deeply affected with what was spoken to him on this subject and occasion, yet when applied to after prayers, he declared himself of the church of Rome, desired he might not be hindered from having a gentleman of that persuasion come to him; (a request he had no occasion to make to me, for I never knew them excluded) for that he freely acknowledged he should be directed by him; though in the mean time he should be glad of my assistance; which, while in his right mind, he accepted of to the last. On this occasion he was answered, that I was sensible how difficult it is to get clear of the prejudices, and even errors of education, but that he had now a fair opportunity for it; that his present dreadful circumstances, if duly improved, might be the occasion of saving his soul; that for this end, every help in my power should be chearfully and heartily given to him, with the same zeal and sincerity as for my own soul: and as to his request for other assistance, he well knew he was now my proper charge; that if the gentlemen whose help and direction he desired, had the power over us, no such favour would be indulged to our people in the like case. This he fairly owned to be true; and from thence (he was told) he might see we had that badge and character of the true disciples of Christ; charity, mutual forbearance, and meekness of spirit, which they wanted; and by this alone he might distinguish this true living branch of the Catholic-church, from all false and dead branches: 'by this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another.' Adding several other marks and proofs, both at this time, and in the afternoon service, which he attended; that we are a sound part of the Catholic-church, and that they are fallen from it; warn'd him also of the consequence of putting himself under another's direction, which I have so often known by experience, that he would be forbidden any farther intercourse with me. However, as he could read, I put a Bible, and other proper tracts into his hands, pointed out the most proper places, and having again warned and directed him, left him to his choice. His brother, with another visitor, were frequently with him; and one or two of the runners were constantly to be left with him, to prevent his offering any violence to himself, according to a caution and order given concerning him, by the justice who committed him. In a day or two he was visited by a gentleman of his own perswasion, as he had desired; but about the same time he began to behave and speak as if mad: when I saw him in the press-yard, he was fingering his irons, asked one of his keepers to let him out, said the affair of the crime he was charged with was got over very well, that the man was recovered, for he had given him fifteen guineas and paid for his cure. The same afternoon he committed several outrages, having given a violent stroke on the nose to James, one of the runners, and beat his head against the wall; in consequence of which he was moved by four men into a cell, and there chained down to a floor. A lay gentleman, Mr. H -, who visited him once or twice in this situation, spoke seriously to him, bid him think of employing his time better, and read good books. He thanked him for his advice, and said he would do so. However, he gave but awkward proofs of his performing his promise, for he kept singing aloud, thus chained as he was, and said he did not value it, nor any thing else they could do-owned his father told him ten years ago that he should be hang'd! [Hear this ye undutiful children! ye obdurate sinners! who provoke and rebel against those who love you, and care most for your happiness, and anxiously forewarn you of your misery, that ye may escape it. Hear this and tremble!] He added, but I am determined I will not be hanged. On this a fresh caution was given to the keepers to watch him more closely, and admit none to him without being present. On his continuing several days to behave like a madman, the Bible, and other books and tracts which I had lent him, were by me ordered to be gathered up and restored. They were all found and returned, except one, which I had first carefully read to him, and instructed him more fully in the contents of it, and then lent to him to be perused in private: this was missing, and could never be recovered. The purport of it is, to shew in few and plain words, the essential and primary articles of the Christian Faith, wherein we agree with the church of Rome, and those twelve articles, superadded, introduced, and imposed, within a few centuries past, by that church, contrary to scripture and antiquity, wherein we therefore differ from them. The tract is entitled, A View of the Articles of the Protestant and Popish Faith: To which is added, An Address to the Laity. This was unluckily sunk, or possibly underwent the flames, as its author might have done in worse times, for bearing witness to truths disagreeable to zealots who are wilfully blind. But alas! why should we be deemed and treated as their enemies, for
telling them the most necessary and salutary truths? M'Carty being asked by me, at his last day but one, whether he had read this, and what he had done with it? he said he could give no account of it, for he had read very little of it, and that he had left it in his room: but there it was not to be found, as before-mentioned, tho' more valuable books were.
On the day intervening between sentence and execution, he was again visited by me in his cell, where he lay in his bed reading, and seemed tolerably well composed and resigned: having again condoled with him, he was reminded that his present sad condition was what he had too much reason to expect for some time past, hoped therefore it did not surprize him unprepared: that it is my duty to assist and comfort him under it, and endeavour to prepare him for a speedy change for a better place. He thanked me; but "owned he had been visited by another gentleman, who had done whatever was necessary for him; that he was easy in his mind, and would not change his condition with any one."
But is there not an opium for souls as there is for bodies? a spirit of slumber and delusion that is deadly poison to the soul? We are assured by the best authority that there is, and are warned against it. I therefore earnestly beseeched him to attend to a word of exhortation, and join in prayers, in which I told him I should urge nor offer nothing in either, but matters in which Christians of every denomination do, or may, safely agree. On these terms I visited him twice this day, for above an hour each time, which he seemed thankfully to receive, and heartily to join in the prayers offered up. In the intervals of which time we had some conversation: he seemed to resent the strict guard kept over him left he should destroy himself by poison, or otherwife; saying, that because Stirn had been possessed with the devil, and made away with himself, they imagined it was so with him too; but, he added, God forbid I should have any such thought.
He was instructed in a proper exhortation concerning the heinous and hardening nature of his crime; and that without holiness no man shall see the Lord; earnestly warned, therefore, not to rest in a superficial repentance, or slight endeavour, after that true peace and holiness, but to cry mightily for pardon before he be forever excluded from the hope of it. He was sensibly touched; he complied; he kneeled down on the ground, prayed with his face bowed down to the bed, wept, sob'd and cried earnestly for mercy. Thrice at one visit we repeated this exercise, wherein proper prayers, relative to his crime, were offered up; also for true and hearty contrition, charity and grace to forgive all whom he apprehended to have injured or offended him in any wife, and for those whom he had wronged and injured, especially the widow and orphans whom he had deprived of a husband and a father, and his creditors, to all whom he was incapable to make any satisfaction; beseeching God, of his rich mercy in Christ Jesus, to recompence them with his manifold blessings, and to do them good for the evil he had done them. We prayed also for resignation to the Divine Will, such a servent love of God as should inspire him with an utter abhorrence of sin, and all other graces necessary for a dying person.
In conversation he told me, that the fact he was to die for, was occasioned by an affair that happened the 17th of march last, when Mrs. L - D, (the wife of one of the witnesses against him, at whose suit
he was arrested by Talbot) came into his house with two men, had some liquor, and a reckoning to pay, for which they offered a ring to pledge, instead of money, and laid it on the bar; that his wife being then in the bar, refused it; and referring it to him, he also said he would take no pawns, as she had once before pledged a silver spoon with them, which proved to be stolen: - That upon this, one of the men took up the ring again, and carried it off; and in a few days after they served him with a writ for the value of the said ring; and he being then, or soon after, under a cloud, banished from his house and business, the suit was carried against him in the court, and run to an execution. - That Mr. Talbot, who knew all the affair, had been his schoolfellow and old acquaintance, yet took it upon himself to arrest him for it. He declared that when he drew his knife he did not intend to murder, but to fright him away by a cut on the head or shoulder that he might make his escape. It was asked, why did you carry such a desperate weapon about you? he answered, he had usually carried it, when in business, as a cook's knife. Are you a cook then? he said he understood a good deal of it: it is said that you were a baker by trade; he answered, he never served his time to it. It is known, however, by his acquaintance, that he has followed that business during the former part of fifteen years that he has been in London; after which he kept the house (in which the fact was done) for three or four years; during most part of which time he served as a parishofficer, or headborough, and is said to have behaved well in that office: he had r the nick-name of laughing Carty, from a propensity to that habit.
Being farther questioned, whether he had not declared and resolved to kill any man who should attempt to arrest him; he said, no: but owned he had threatened hard. It was then gently hinted to him, that, besides the fact of which he was convicted, the world took great liberties with his character in another very tender point, of which it behoved him to clear himself if he could: he desired to know what that was; and was answered, that it was said by some of his neighbours that he was the cause of his wife's death; tho' it must be acknowledged at the same time that others of them deny it. He wished to know who charged him with such a thing, for if he were abroad and at liberty, he could soon convince them to the contrary, adding, that he was in exile, and at a distance from his wife when she died, and that it was only a malicious report; and being easy in his own mind about it, he cared not what the world said.
Another charge was mentioned to him, which I told him I should be glad to set in a true light, that of tricking his brewer out of a sum of money which had been paid into his hands, in part of a much greater debt.
Of this matter he gave the following account: About the 15th of April last he was arrested for 27 l. at the suit of his coal-merchant; he had only 111. in the house, the goods and stock of which were then appraising, in order to be sold to his successor, Mr. C - ns: he desired the officer, P - p W - r, to take his word for an hour till he should receive more money; but this he refused. He then applied to Robson, his own appraiser, then in the house, settling the appraisement, to take his sum of 111. and make it up 27 l. but neither would he do it. He sent his brother to W - m B - n, a publican, in Little Wild-street, to borrow 21 l. of him:
this sum Mr. B - n sent him immediately, (tho' he owed him twenty-five guineas before) telling him he must repay it punctually, being his brewer's money; which M'Carty promised to do. With this, and part of his own, he paid the 27 l. and had his liberty. About ten minutes after, his wife sent for him to a neighbour's house, and asked him for some money; he gave her three guineas and a handful of halfpence, about two shillings, which the said was sufficient.
Before he could return to his house again, Mr. T - n, his brewer, was there, with his clerk, Mr. A - ms, and his two coopers, who told him the appraisement was ended, and bid him come and take his money; Mr. Y - g, the appraiser for his successor, was telling down the money, about 103 l. in notes and cash: a proper receipt was drawn for it, and given to be read and signed by M'Carty. This done, the brewer's clerk snatched up the notes, cash, receipt, and put all in his pocket. To this, Y - g the appraiser, objected, and said, you have nothing to do with the receipt, that is for Mr. Cummins, who paid for the goods. M'Carty stood still, affrighted for Mr. B - n, who must be broke if he did not repay him the forty-five guineas borrowed of him: at the same time Mr. T - n's officers were waiting in the tap-room to arrest him for the remainder of his debt, over the sum now expected. M'Carty stood and paused, thought it was better one should be bankrupt than two; that he should prevent this by paying his debt of honour for cash advanced him first, and that his other creditors should have their dividend as well as his brewer, who, he thought, had gained more by him than any of the rest. His brandy-merchant and his distiller, who had been kind to him, and got little by him, were to be considered. The house was his brewer's; he had paid him 3000 l. in the time he had lived there. His brother was present, weeping; his wife gone out, and liquor, as she too often, used to be. M'Carty resolutely stood up and told them they had robbed him, and he would prosecute them all if they did not restore the receipt or money. They stared at one-another. He dispossessed Mrs. Cummins of the bar, and goods, which she had entered into before payment. They gave him fair words, asking, if they should return the cash, whether he would repay it to them. Here he owns he told a lye in promising that he would. They then laid down all but 10 l. which they stopped, left any taxes should be due on the house; for which not above three or four pounds were due. He took up 93 l. and put it in his waistcoat pocket; then sitting at the room door, he locked it, and swore bitterly that no officer should come in to arrest him; but had first given possession to his successor. He then said openly it was better to go to gaol with money than without; but called for a sheet of paper to settle accounts with his brewer; to which they readily complied. Mean time he begged the officers might not arrest him while he went about the house to do his business: this was agreed to. One who had a writ against him was not in the way; but his followers were watching him. His brother discovered that the cooper was dispatched for the officer to arrest him, contrary to promise; of which he apprised him; and then pushing out of the door, said, you will be arrested as soon as you have paid that money; get you gone: he tuck'd up his skirt, and went directly to his neighbour Br - n's, paid, and settled with him for
the forty-five guineas borrow'd; paid his brother twenty guineas more for his service of above three years, during which, he acted for him as his clerk, and did any other business he put him to. Now, said he, if I must go to gaol Br - n is safe, and will give me a meal while he is at liberty. He was not now master of above thirty pounds. He left his wife at her sister's in Drury-lane; the expences of whose funeral came upon him in a week after; when her friends, who had lived upon him, raised this report of his being the occasion of her death; which, he declares, was rather occasioned, as he believed, by her excessive drinking. He still kept out of the way; but in a week or two wrote to his creditors, an offer of four shillings in the pound in a month's time, if they would sign his letter of licence: all were willing except the brewer, who said he would not give him a day. He owed in all about 600 l. and had debts to the amount of 100 l. due to him; but his debtors hearing that his creditors would not compound, nor give him liberty to sue for and recover his debts, refused to pay; saying, let him come for it.
Being particularly asked, he declared he never saw any evil practices going forward in his house from the time he enter'd into it, and first banished the bad company which had frequented it. - Also that he never made an ill use of his office of headborough , but applied himself only to prevent riots, and disperse bad company in his neighbourhood; and the like character in that respect, is attested by gentlemen of credit in that neighbourhood. Thus having spent an hour or two with him the night before his execution, he bless'd and thank'd me for the consolation and assistance given him; but insinuated at the same time, his spiritual guide had said as much as that there was no occasion for my visits or assistance.
When visited next morning, the priest of his own persuasion had been with him, and performed the duties and requisites of his office for him. This he told me. And also that he had particular directions from him, what prayers to use, and seem'd determined to adhere to those directions only; hinting withal, that he neither desired nor expected any other from me: however, I reminded him of an advice which I had often repeated to him, viz. to offer up all his prayers to God, only thro' the all-sufficient merits of our only mediator and advocate Jesus Christ. To this he seemed to assent. I offered up a short mental prayer for him, and told him I should continue to do so while he lived and it could avail him. He was decently dressed, and ready to go into the court when we parted. He was carried out about half an hour after eight in the morning, being handcuffed with iron, and his arms pinion'd with a rope: he seemed resigned and calm, and lifting up his face to prayer. He continued reading and praying both going to the place of execution and at it; for which purpose he made use of two books alternately; and was assisted in changing and turning to the prayers he was directed to by the executioner, as his own hands were bound. He is said to have continued in prayer a considerable time at the place or execution, and appeared penitent and resigned.
This is all the Account given by me.

Michael Jackson's second secret compact disc splattered onto the music scene just three days ago and has already conquered the number one spot in over fifty countries.
Eight unreleased tracks, produced by the insanely talented Timbaland, Stargate & Darkchild, proves what made Michael Jackson the original bad mother f***er in 1985. Five years after the tragic death of the international pop superstar and his music, rhythm and soul still succeeds. One of the standout smashes from 'Xscape', 'Slave to the Rhythm,' inserts the eardrum with sexy grooves making the entire experience full of dangerous dance moves and head bopping action. To dissect each individual sound is actually a bit baffling; every single cut is perfectly produced and showcases the crazy, cool range of Michael Jackson. Patrick Carney, drummer of 'The Black Keys', was harshly critical of the material, calling it "some fucking bullshit that sucks so bad that it took them three years after he died to make it listenable." While 'The Black Keys' are undeniably one of the most talented rock bands on the planet, Michael Jackson's talent is literally in heaven which drove music to a whole other level that redefined pop music still expressed by the popular artists today.
If you come across an individual who bashes Michael Jackson and his personal life, not focusing on the unbelievable talent this human possessed, than get rid of them because he is clearly one of the most gifted and successful musicians of all time. It's such a shame the legendary Michael Jackson can't perform these eight exceptional tracks live, because the show would have been quite the spectacle and something unlike anyone has felt before. Michael Jackson fans and newcomers purchase this album now and experience what all the DJ's in the world will be rocking out to.

Vampire Weekend Case Dismissed
A lawsuit against rock band Vampire Weekend, the band's record label, and a photographer who allegedly provided an image for use on a Vampire Weekend album without a model's permission has been dismissed.
Model Ann Kirsten Kennis asked a federal court in Los Angeles to dismiss the case, after she reached a settlement with Vampire Weekend and its label, XL Records. Kennis sued in 2010 after photographer Tod Brody licensed a Polaroid image of Kennis for use on the cover of the band's Contra album.

Datsun 240Z Custom Hoods, Datsun 240Z Custom Trunks
Aftermarket Datsun 240Z hoods help make a car look newer. Just this one replacement can make a big difference in a car's appearance, mainly because it's such a large component in and of itself. You can replace a Datsun 240Z hood with one that's an exact copy of the vehicle's stock Datsun hood, or you can select a customized Datsun hood that falls in line with a new design you had in mind for your Datsun car. Either way, you'll end up with a Datsun car that's better looking, with an engine that's better protected from anything that might damage it
Datsun 240Z Carbon Fiber Trunks are located at the back of most Datsun trucks, Datsun SUVs, and Datsun cars, and act as the main storage spaces for these vehicles. For Datsun truck owners, the Datsun trunk is mostly an open bed that is left uncovered. For Datsun drivers of cars and SUVs, however, the Datsun trunk is often a distinct space reserved for the transportation of luggage, groceries, and all kinds of other odds and ends.
Though you can't replace the Datsun trunk space itself, you can replace the Datsun rear trunk hatch that keep that keeps the trunk space enclosed. Also often known as a Datsun 240Z hatch, this piece is as replaceable as the Datsun 240Z front hood is, though it is replaced far less commonly. If your car got rear-ended, or even if it's just bruised up a bit to the point where paint alone can't make a difference, you may want to replace that trunk hatch or Datsun 240Z hood with an aftermarket version that looks cleaner and newer to help maintain the value of your Datsun vehicle.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy announced today that it has protected more than 122 acres of land at its North Bay, Mink River and Shivering Sands preserves in Door County. The acquisitions will expand recreation opportunities at the preserves and help protect water quality and habitat for rare species and wildlife.
"We're very pleased we were able to work with landowners in Door County to add these lands to our preserves," said Mary Jean Huston, Nature Conservancy director in Wisconsin. "These natural areas and others in the county sustain our native plants and wildlife and attract thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the outdoors."
The 40-acre parcel of land at North Bay Preserve fronts on the north shore of the bay and provides important habitat for the Hine's emerald dragonfly, an endangered species that has its largest populations in Door County.
Thought to be extinct since the 1950s, an adult Hine's emerald dragonfly was discovered at The Nature Conservancy's Mink River Preserve in Door County in 1987. The Conservancy is protecting groundwater recharge areas important to the dragonfly's larvae, which may be the key to the species' survival.
The 65.42-acre parcel of land at Mink River Preserve includes almost 2,000 feet of shoreline on the river; the river provides critical spawning, nursery and foraging habitat for several Great Lakes fish species. The forests and wetlands at the preserve protect water quality in underground aquifers and provide habitat for more than 200 bird species.
The Conservancy added another 17 acres of land to the Shivering Sands Preserve, expanding it to more than 600 acres. The acquisition conserves high quality Lake Michigan coastal conifer forest and white cedar swamps, and is potential habitat for rare plants like the dwarf lake iris.
"This acquisition is particularly significant because the forest cover on this property lies close enough to the shore of Lake Michigan to provide a safe resting and feeding harbor for those birds that migrate north and south over the open waters of the lake in the spring and fall," said Mike Grimm, Conservancy conservation ecologist.
Apart from the abundance of plants and wildlife they support, the Conservancy preserves also provide a variety of recreational opportunities including hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, wildlife watching and photography.
The Conservancy has applied for grants from Wisconsin's Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program and anticipates receiving funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program to purchase these lands.
You can find more information about the Conservancy's work in Door County in the Places We Protect section.

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – The Stanford men's rowing team is ready to race at the IRA National Championships on Lake Mercer.
Since the Pac-12 Championships, head coach Craig Amerkhanian has jumbled the lineups and has confidence that the best available lineups will be on the water for the Cardinal.
"Everybody is enthusiastic and committed to one another," said Amerkhanian. "We have had great success at IRA's over the years. It is difficult to go up against Cal and Washington all season and now we will race teams that are similar to our speed and will hopefully bring out the best in us. We are excited to be back here."
For seniors Dave Dolben, Austin Hack and Will Robins this will be their final collegiate regatta.
"With our new lineups the team has rejuvenation and new speed," said Robins. "There is a lot of optimism. We are still looking for our best speed of the year. Everyone has a good attitude and is real focused."
The Stanford varsity eight will get things started in heat #4 at 8:45 a.m. on Friday. The Cardinal will be in the same heat as No. 4 Brown, No. 5 Princeton, No. 12 Navy, No. 20 Florida Institute of Technology and Holy Cross.
"We had some of our hardest workouts the past two weeks, but they gave us our best outcomes of the year," said Hack. "It is tough for us to judge our speed sometimes because racing Cal and Washington is going against the best in college. There are a lot of crews to have competition with this weekend."
The second varsity eight will be in heat #4 at 9:45 a.m. on Friday. They will race against No. 1 Washington, No. 9 Cornell, No. 3 Harvard, No. 14 Penn and Gonzaga.
"There is a lot of speed we haven't faced yet," said Robins. "That brings a lot of unknown, which brings excitement and anticipation to our races."
The regatta will run Friday-Sunday at Lake Mercer. For live results fans can follow @ecacrowing and @stanfordmrowing on twitter.
For fans attending the event, parking is $10 per car per day and is cash only. Admission for adults is $10 and for 18 and under is free of charge. A results board will be posted near the finish line tower.

Paisley Grammar School, known for a period following 1896 as the Paisley Grammar School and William B. Barbour Academy, is a non-denominational state comprehensive secondary school in Paisley, the largest town in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The school was founded in 1576 and was formerly a selective grammar school.
The school gained the addition of the 'William B. Barbour Academy' due to a bequest by the former Member of Parliament for the town (1885–1891). The foundation stone of the current building in the town's Glasgow Road was laid in 1896. This new school building was opened in 1898 by Balfour of Burleigh, then Secretary of State for Scotland. The school's Latin motto was "Disce Puer Aut Abi" ("Work, boy, or get out") and was known for a number of its long-standing traditional practices.
The school was fee paying until the mid 1960′s and in 1988 when threatened with imminent closure by Strathclyde Regional Council, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher intervened personally to ensure the survival of the school. The law was changed so that local councils could no longer close schools which were more than 80% full without approval by the Secretary of State for Scotland. Soon after, the council was forced to drop its plans.
The current Head Teacher is Ms Caroline Amos who joined the school in January 2006. (text above partially taken from WikiPedia)
Notable former pupils include:
There have been many Rectors of this prestigious school over its history including George Aimer Russell at the turn of the 20th century, and, more recently, John Clarke OBE (1937–1956), Ninian A. Jamieson (1956–1966), Robert Y. Corbett (1966–1988), Hugh H Nisbet (1988–1995) and John C Pears (1995–2006). Hugh Nisbet is also a former pupil of the school. John Pears and Hugh Nisbet are the only two current living former Rectors of the school.
Caroline Amos is the current Head Teacher.
The Old Grammarians Club is the society formed for former pupils and staff of Paisley Grammar School. J Melvyn Haggarty is the current president. Mr Haggarty served as Principal Teacher of History in Paisley Grammar between 1975 and 2006, and is an honorary member.
John Pears, Rector from 1995 – 2006, is also an honorary member and is the current Rector Emeritus. He also is the current past President of Paisley Rotary Club.
March 2010 saw the Club give a generous donation to the then sixth years charity drive, which was handed over to the pupils at the club's annual Ball.
The Old Grammarians Club also contributes to the school's annual prize, giving the Old Grammarians Prize to one lucky pupil in the sixth year. Furthermore, it puts on a number of events for its members – including luncheons and the aforementioned annual Gala Ball.
More information about the club can be found at http://www.old-grammarians.co.uk
The school offers a wide variety of clubs and activities for the pupils, including:
Through the extended music department Paisley Grammar has showcased its talent through school drama and music productions. The main show is presented at the end of the school year.
Paisley Grammar also has strong links with the the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Programme, and with the Mark Scott foundation.
In late 2010 music teacher and choir leader Mr Dunlop received a phone call from BBC. They were saying that if he would find 15 responsible pupils to send in a video of them performing a song of their choice, and if they were accepted, they would get an all expenses paid trip to London for a live audition in January for the show CBBC does Glee Club, although it was later decided it would be aired on BBC 1. The song they chose was 'I love you, you're perfect, now change' and their video was accepted, so they performed in London and they got through to the finals in March, however, they were eliminated by eventual winners Soulmates.
The School's uniform is as follows:
The School's song is Oriflamme and its words are by Alexander Campbell and the music is by Robert Provan. The words are as follows:
The torch of our yesterdays
Was kindled by a royal hand.
To bear the Oriflamme always,
And keep it splendid and ablaze,
Was his command.
The torch has ever burned with light
Inspiring, down the days of dust.
They held it sacred in his sight.
To pass it on, a beacon bright:
It was their trust.
The torch, long borne of storied fame
Our eager hands are grasping now.
That we shall tend its vital flame
In loyal service to his name
This be our vow.

On Monday, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced the six people chosen in the Class of 2014. Represented in the class are four players, one referee and one coach.
"The Hockey Hall of Fame is proud to welcome these six hockey legends as 'Honoured Members,'" said Chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame's Selection Committee John Davidson. "Their contributions to the game of hockey are well documented and their election to the Hockey Hall of Fame is richly deserved."
The players to be elected are: Peter Forsberg, Dominic Hasek and Mike Modano; all of whom were elected in their first year of eligibility, and Rob Blake, who was elected in his second year.
In addition to these players, two people were elected in the "builder" category. Longtime NHL coach Pat Burns was selected, having won the Jack Adams award as the NHL's coach of the year on three different occasions, and having guided the New Jersey Devils to a Stanley Cup title in 2003. Burns died in 2010, succumbing to cancer at the age of 58.
Referee Bill McCreary was also selected. A veteran of 1,737 NHL regular season games; McCreary holds the record for playoff games officiated (292). He also officiated 44 Stanley Cup Final games (also a record), three Olympics (including the gold medal game in each) and two Canada Cups.
The aforementioned six were selected by an 18-person committee of the weekend. They will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame during a ceremony on Nov. 17, in Toronto. At the ceremony, USA Today reporter Kevin Allen and Chicago Blackhawks play-by-play announcer Pat Foley will also be honored.
Continue reading for a closer look at the four players that are to be enshrined.
Rob Blake
Teams: Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks
In his 20 years in the NHL, Rob Blake became known for his leadership, huge hip checks and his booming shot from the point. He won the Norris Trophy in 1998, given annually to the NHL's best defenseman. After joining the Colorado Avalanche via trade, he joined Forsberg to capture the Stanley Cup in 2001.
Like Forsberg, Blake is also a member of the "Triple Gold Club"; having won a Stanley Cup, and gold in both the Olympics (2002) and the World Championships (1994).
"This is a tremendous honor," said Blake. "I am fortunate to have been around the game of hockey and have it be a key part of my life for as long as I can remember."
Peter Forsberg
Teams: Colorado Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers and Nashville Predators
Having had his Olympic gold medal-clinching goal immortalized on a postage stamp in his native Sweden, Peter Forsberg was a legend before ever reaching the NHL. He went on to win two Stanley Cups, one Hart Memorial trophy (MVP), one Art Ross Trophy (leading scorer), a Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) and be named a First-Team All-Star on three different occasions.
Having been elected to the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2013, Forsberg's international resume is equally impressive. He won two Olympic gold medals, two gold medals at the World Championships and is one of only three players to have been awarded the "Guldpucken" (golden puck), given to the MVP of the Swedish Hockey League, twice.
A victim of his own physical style, Forsberg's career was unfortunately cut short due to a myriad of injuries. He retired on Feb. 14, 2011 after a failed two-game comeback with the Colorado Avalanche. His 1.25 point-per-game average ranks eighth all-time; while his .9 assists per game rank fifth all-time.
"It's been a good run and I wouldn't change places with anybody," said Forsberg.. "Joining Borje Salming and Mats Sundin in the Hall of Fame as the third Swedish member makes it especially gratifying for me."
Dominic Hasek
Teams: Chicago Blackhawks, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators
Known for his unorthodox style of play and his acrobatic saves, Dominic Hasek is the only goaltender to be awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP more than once. He also won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender six times, which ranks second all-time. He won two Stanley Cups, one in each of his stints with the Detroit Red Wings.
Hasek also has quite the resume internationally. Allowing less than a goal per game, Hasek almost single-handedly carried his native Czech Republic when they captured the gold medal in the 1998 Olympics. Prior to coming to the NHL, he was named the top goaltender in the Czech Extraliga for five straight seasons. A four-time Extraliga champion, he was also the league's best goalie in 2009-2010, after his NHL career had ended.
"After I retired I really began to appreciate what the game did for me," said Hasek. "My goal was just to make the NHL, and achieving this recognition is far beyond what I could have imagined."
Mike Modano
Teams: Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings
Drafted first overall by the Minnesota North Stars in 1988, Mike Modano would move with the team to Dallas and spend all but 40 games of his career with the franchise. Despite never winning an individual award in the NHL, Modano would go on to score more goals and accumulate more points than an American player in league history using consistency, speed and great two-way play.
He would capture the Staley Cup with the Dallas Stars in 1999. Internationally, he would win an Olympic silver medal in 2002 and a gold in the World Cup in 1996. He was elected into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012.
"When I played I always hoped that I could make an impact on the game, both on and off the ice, and this honor recognizes that," said Modano. "I love this game, and as an American born player I owe a lot to the people in Prince Albert [Western Hockey League] who helped me take my game to the next level."

Today we observe the Queenship of Mary, acknowledging that the highest place that any creature holds in heaven is occupied by a woman and a mother. To be pro-life is to be pro-woman, and Mary the Mother of God is an example and inspiration for all women about how to embrace the vocation of motherhood, facing the unexpected and the unplanned with faith, courage, and joy.
Mary sums up her life in one word, "Fiat," which means "Let it be done." That's what she said to the angel who told her she would be the Mother of God.
The pro-life movement is about helping mothers to say "Fiat," helping them to love the child within them and to make the sacrifices that child deserves from us all. Mary, our Queen, pray for all mothers today.

Oil's Insurance Against Iran
For oil bulls, less is more and more is most definitely less. The latest U.S. oil inventory data, released this morning, make grim reading for those investors with a taste for Texas tea. What's more, they undermine one of the main arguments supporting oil prices: the Iranian risk.
Stockpiles of crude oil, gasoline and distillate (which includes diesel) all increased in the week ending December 2nd. Brimming tanks don't lend support to oil prices, especially when part of the reason is falling demand: Americans burned 8.4% less oil than they did this time last year. The other part of the equation is that the U.S. is producing more oil, with output up 5% on last year, reducing its need for imports.
Taken altogether, it means the U.S. — still the world's largest consumer of oil by a long way — isn't exactly struggling to lay its hands on the fuel it needs for its limping economy. In a report this week, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. analyst Lawrence Eagles pointed out that strategic and commercial stocks of oil cover more than 200 days of net imports using September demand data. In comparison, the International Energy Agency demands that member countries like the U.S. hold just 90 days-worth of imports.
When oil was released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve earlier this year, bulls read it as a sign that supplies were tight and a price spike was building. Yet Brent crude costs pretty much the same now as it did then and, given America's huge stockpile, it doesn't look like there's a pressing need to refill the tanks anytime soon. Meanwhile, the euro zone remains mired in crisis and even China, which accounted for 65% of global oil demand growth over the past five years, is showing signs of economic strain.
In the absence of a robust demand outlook, potential disruption of Iranian oil supply is cited as a reason for high crude prices. Tighter sanctions on Iran or outright war would cause oil prices to rise sharply. But with the buffer of oil stockpiles so high, it has to be asked how long such a spike would last.

Saudi Arabia: 50 monitoring stations planned for solar17. April 2013 | Applications & Installations, Markets & Trends | By: Shamsiah Ali-Oettinger
Saudi Arabia has turned to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for training and expertise. Together with NREL and its partner Battelle, more than 50 monitoring station to gauge and predict solar radiation will be installed in the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has selected NREL as its partner to install monitoring stations in the country to measure solar radiation and gauge where the best areas are for solar power plants. NREL will also be training local Saudis to operate and maintain these systems. The laboratory, with its partner Battelle, won the contract after Saudi Arabia put the project out for bidding.
Tom Stoffel, NREL's group leader for Solar Resources and Forecasting, added that Saudi Arabia wants to embark and finish this project quickly to demonstrate to stakeholders and potential investors the capacity the country has for renewable energy.
Measurement stations and their function
Some stations will research quality, using instruments similar to the best ones at NREL. Others will be self-contained stations powered by PV and placed farther into deserts and remote areas in the country. One more type of station will measure subsets of factors that larger stations measure. They will be responsible for the big climatic picture that includes determining the role of microclimates and cloud cover impacts. Teams will maintain these stations every week or two.
Three solar measurement stations have been set up as part of an initial training and outreach event, one in Riyadh, one just outside of Riyadh and one near where King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (K.A.CARE) will be.
NREL senior engineer Stephen Wilcox added, "It's important that they know precisely what the solar resource is so the financial stakeholders can know exactly what kind of return to expect. The more uncertainty in the measurements, the more uncertainty there is in the analysis. They could either make $100 million or lose $100 million based on how well the measurements are taken."
NREL's teams have mapped renewable energy resources in several countries. The data the stations collect in Saudi Arabia will be compared to data NREL has collected worldwide. This will be incorporated into the K.A.CARE Renewable Resource Atlas, currently under development by Battelle as part of the same project, and will be available online. Among the information will be data on solar radiation, the solar spectrum, temperature, dust levels, humidity, and wind speeds.
Saudi Arabia aims for the top
The Saudi Arabian government has dedicated more than US$108.9 billion towards installing more than 50 GW of renewable power. 41 GW of solar power is expected to be developed by 2032. This will meet 30% of the energy needs. Renewable energy contracts worth $7 billion are expected this year alone.
"Saudi Arabia is determined to diversify our energy sources and reduce our dependence on hydrocarbons," said Wail Bamhair, the project manager for the Saudi team that visited NREL. "Renewable energy isn't just an option, but absolutely necessary. We have the means to build renewable energy, and we need to do it." He also added that the Saudi Arabian dream is to move "Saudi Arabia to the first rank of nations in terms of sustainable energy."
