The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host its first Verizon IndyCar Series road course race this weekend, adding to the excitement surrounding the month of May for fans of open wheel racing leading up to the May 25 Indianapolis 500. This will be the first time that the series competes on both the roadcourse and oval tracks, and will add yet another wrinkle in the storied history of the brickyard.
Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing and driver Josef Newgarden are looking forward to competing in the inaugural 82-lap Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the brand-new 14-turn, 2.439-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) road course Saturday, May 10.
"Adding the Grand Prix of Indianapolis feels more like the full Month of May that IndyCar used to be," Newgarden said. "I think fans will get a much better view of what Indy cars are all about from a bigger scale and not just the Indianapolis 500. There's a lot more to offer with IndyCar, and fans will get to see that first-hand."
SFHR tested on the road course for the first time last week. Newgarden turned a lap of 1 minute, 10.9278 seconds in the No. 67 Klipsch Dallara/Honda/Firestone entry, 1.3309 seconds behind leader Scott Dixon.
"We're a little bit more behind than we'd like to be for the Grand Prix course," Newgarden said. "We didn't have a stellar test, but it was our first time out there, and we learned what we needed to. We are going to push as hard as we can this weekend because it's Indianapolis and we are excited to have Klipsch Audio behind us. I feel confident that we're going to be able to figure out what we need to in practice and that we will be quick on Saturday."
Newgarden is 10th in the Verizon IndyCar Series championship point standings after placing in the top 10 in St. Petersburg and at Barber Motorsports Park.
Nashville-area native Newgarden thinks fans will experience exciting IndyCar racing in the Grand Prix of Indianpolis due to the layout of the circuit that runs through the inside of IMS' notorious oval.
"I think it'll be challenging to get away from anyone at the race because there's such long straightaways and really good brake zones, which should not allow one person to be able to break away from the field." Newgarden said. "I think there's going to be a lot of passing, a lot of drafting down the straights. I think it will be wheel to wheel with a lot of the field for the whole race."
When the checkered flag flies at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday evening, IMS will undergo a transformation to oval configuration in less than 24 hours before Opening Day of the 98th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 11.
"It will be more challenging for the teams going straight from the Grand Prix to Opening Day for the '500' because the cars have to be turned around immediately," Newgarden said. "The drivers have to mentally switch over to the different challenge of running on the oval, but I think it'll be tougher on the teams."
Practice for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis begins at 10:00 a.m. (ET) Thursday, May 8.
"After getting more time on this track I think the restarts are going to be incredibly exciting," added Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver Simon Pagenaud. "We can definitely run side by side for quite awhile around here. We're going to put on a good show for the fans. With such a long, straight line before you reach Turn 1 there's an opportunity for teams to pick a level of downforce that's different from the competition to get an advantage. It's going to add another element of intrigue on race day for sure."
His teammate Mikhail Aleshin, carrying the colors of the Russian Federation and sponsor SMP bank, has high hopes for the roadcourse, and for the month of May in general.
"I had half a day testing here last week and found that I really enjoy this road course," Aleshin added. "It's very smooth, and has a nice curving configuration. There will be plenty of chances for overtaking here. Schmidt Peterson Motorsports has put together two great cars for our team that will perform well in hot and cold, rainy conditions. Every driver here is relatively new to the track so we're all still trying to find the best line."
History will be made at the storied track on Saturday, May 10, with the running of the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis. ABC will have a live telecast of the Grand Prix at 3:30 p.m. ET with the race's green flag at 3:50 p.m., featuring announcer Allen Bestwick with analysts Scott Goodyear and Eddie Cheever.
The pits will be covered by Pit reporters Rick DeBruhl, Jamie Little, Dr. Jerry Punch, and Vince Welch.
Verizon IndyCar Series team owner and Indianapolis 500 veteran Sarah Fisher will be honored on Mother's Day/Opening Day of the 98th Indianapolis 500 at noon (ET) Sunday, May 11 when she waves the green flag for the start of practice. Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles will make a surprise presentation to Fisher, who is expecting her second child June 19, after she waves the green flag.

How much more can Brian Hartline do for the Miami Dolphins?
Brian Hartline made many of the Miami Dolphins' more athletic and acrobatic catches last season.
We're talking a few tight rope grabs for this fourth-year receiver, a couple of diving to the ground catches that were Plays of the Day worthy.
Some of his 35 receptions last season hinted that Hartline was ready, and able to carry more of a load for the offense. But it can't be ignored that this former Ohio State standout the Dolphins selected in the fourth-round of the 2009 draft was usually benefiting from single-coverage due to the attention Brandon Marshall and Davone Bess received regularly.
This season Hartline will be put in position to contribute more than the 549 yards and one touchdown he produced last season because it appears more will be put on his plate in Joe Philbin's the west coast offense.
The Dolphins traded Marshall to Chicago, and weren't overly aggressive in their pursuit of another front line receiver because there's a segment of the front office figures and coaches who believe Hartline can show the type of growth in his fourth season that former Packers receiver Jordy Nelson did last year.
We're talking about Nelson's breakout season that saw him transform from Green Bay's No. 3 receiver into a difference maker who caught 68 passes for 1,263 yards and 15 touchdowns, and was one of the NFL's most productive receivers per snap.
There's evidence to back up this theory considering Nelson's numbers from his first three NFL seasons are thumped by the stats Hartline put up his first three seasons in Miami.
Nelson caught 100 passes for 1,268 yards and scored six touchdowns in his first three seasons.
Hartline caught 109 passes for 1,670 yards and scored six touchdowns (one rushing) in his first three seasons.

Remembering Bob Sweazy
July 6, 2012
Texas Tech Athletics is mourning the passing of longtime NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative, Bob Sweazy. Sweazy, 73, passed away on Thursday, July 5.
Memorial Services will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 13, at First Christian Church in Lubbock. Memorial endowments can be made in his name to the Red Raider Club, P.O. Box 45055, Lubbock, TX 79409 or by calling 806.742.1196. Donations can also be made to First Christian Church, 2323 Broadway, Lubbock, TX 79401.
"Bob was a great Red Raider and an even better man," said Kent Hance, Chancellor, Texas Tech University System. "Texas Tech University benefited greatly from his service and we cannot adequately express our appreciation of his dedication to the school. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann and all of the rest of Bob's family during this time."
Sweazy served on the Texas Tech faculty in the College of Engineering from 1970-2005. He held numerous administrative positions, culminating with a four-year stint as the Vice President for Research, Technology Transfer and Economic Development. During his time at Texas Tech he served the athletics department as the NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative for 23 years. Sweazy played a key role in Texas Tech's move from the Southwest Conference to the Big 12 in 1996.
"Bob Sweazy's long tenure as the faculty athletics representative to the Southwest Conference and the Big 12 were very important to Texas Tech," said Gerald Myers, Athletics Director Emeritus. "We appreciate all of Bob's contributions in formulating the academic and eligibility standards during that critical transition to the Big 12. He served on many NCAA committees and was a voice for Texas Tech during some key times. Our deepest sympathies go out to Ann and his family."
He was awarded the Dave Brown Award from the Double T Association in 2009 for his service to the athletics department.

ANAHEIM – City leaders asked for calm Wednesday, less than a day after clashes between a crowd of 1,000 protesters and police resulted in two-dozen arrests and six injuries during the fourth straight night of unrest after a pair of fatal officer-involved shootings.
Mayor Tom Tait praised the police response to Tuesday night's protest as "swift and appropriate" and pleaded for calm as investigations into the police shootings move forward.
Tait said that the Office of the U.S. Attorney has agreed to investigate the shootings, and the state's attorney general will conduct a separate review.
"The first step is to get to the truth," Tait said during a news conference Wednesday morning at police headquarters. "That takes some time and patience, and that's what I'm asking for."
He reiterated that any additional acts of violence or vandalism would "simply not be tolerated."
Police Chief John Welter said they will "not allow riotous, dangerous violations of the law by anyone. We will protect innocent people from being injured and property from being damaged."
Police remained on alert Wednesday, ready to respond to any violent outbreaks. Orange County Sheriff's deputies were pairing with Anaheim officers for their patrols, while officers from other cities remained on standby in the event that more manpower was needed.
But as of 10 p.m., Wednesday, the crowds that had filled the downtown streets earlier in the week had not returned.
It was a far cry from the chaotic scene Tuesday night, when crowds set trash fires, smashed windows at about 20 downtown businesses and threw rocks and other projectiles at officers in riot gear who deployed bean bags and pepper balls at demonstrators refusing to disperse.
The Police Department and City Hall buildings were damaged.
Three people suffered unknown injuries and a police officer suffered a minor arm injury, Sgt. Bob Dunn said. Additionally, two Register reporters received minor injuries: One was hit in the head with a rock, and the other was hit on the foot with a projectile. Both sought medical attention.
Police arrested 20 adults and four juveniles, Welter said: 20 were from Anaheim, with four from other areas. Charges included assault with a deadly weapon, failure to disperse, interfering with an officer, resisting arrest, and battery.
"We are continuing to examine various videos that were taken by many individuals in order to identify specific law breakers in the crowd. We'll continue to make arrests whenever possible and those arrested will be prosecuted," Welter said.
About 70 firefighters from nearly a dozen Orange County agencies helped put out several trash bin fires late into the night.
Anaheim authorities said the protesting and vandalism had quieted by about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, but police were continuing to access the situation.
"We have contingency plans throughout the week and beyond and will respond as necessary," Dunn said.
Solidarity marches against the alleged police brutality in Anaheim are being planned in other cities nationwide, according to reports on Twitter and Facebook. Organizers, including some from the Occupy movement, are setting up marches in New York City, Chicago, Oakland and possibly other locations Friday night.
A YouTube video titled "Anaheim needs your help" posted Tuesday by a group calling itself Anonymous urged viewers to help "defeat this government which values no lives nor freedom." http://bit.ly/OFRmxr
Tuesday's protests
Anaheim police were assisted Tuesday by officers from more than a half-dozen Orange County agencies. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department also helped out. About 300 officers were dispatched.
The protest began after a large crowd attempted to get inside Tuesday night's City Council meeting. They were rebuffed by police officers who cited fire standards and would not let anyone else into the crowded council chambers, where the council held its regular meeting and talked about what the crowd was upset about: the two fatal police shootings.
Those public comments lasted nearly three hours – after a one-hour delay to deal with the unruly crowds trying to push into council chambers.
Yesenia Rojas, 35, who lives on Anna Drive – where Saturday's shooting occurred – urged the council to investigate and make changes as she showed the audience where she was struck and bruised by a police projectile.
"This is going to go away, but what I have in my head and what I have in my heart is going to stay forever," she said.
During the initial delay in the council meeting, protesters called for everyone to hit the street.
Rocks were thrown at police during Tuesday's protest and some patrol vehicles were damaged.
Windows were smashed in at least six businesses at a shopping center near Anaheim Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue. Early Wednesday morning, about a dozen young people showed up armed with broomsticks, sweepers and trash bags.
The impromptu cleaning-crew, at least 10 strong, was nearby residents who wanted to help out. Some said they participated in Tuesday night's protests until things began to turn violent, while others said they lived near the neighborhoods where the police shootings took place.
"I'm sure none of the people who did this were going to be out here cleaning," said Yolanda Navarro, 23, who learned about the early-morning effort to clean up through Facebook.
Some who showed up to clean up the broken glass said they sympathized with protesters who were angry and seeking answers – but were disappointed to see things turn violent.
"It's not the way to do it," Navarro said. "You get attention, but not the kind you want."
Celso Gutierrez, the owner of Pinoy Fresh in the business center, said he wanted to drive to his restaurant when he saw people breaking the windows of the nearby Starbucks.
"(Protesters are) looking for justice, but this is not the justice they're looking for," he said.
He decided to not drive in at the time but Wednesday morning he found a glass door shattered.
The protests have come in the wake of two officer-involved shootings that happened over the weekend. On Saturday, Manuel Angel Diaz, 25, was shot when, police said, he fled on foot down a residential alleyway when he was officers approached him. Police said he was a known gang member but have declined to speak in more detail about what led to the shooting.
Diaz's mother has filed a $50 million lawsuit, saying that police "murdered" her son.
On Sunday, an Anaheim gang officer shot and killed Joel Mathew Acevedo, 21, in an unrelated incident. Police also describe Acevedo as a known gang member and said he fired on an officer during a foot chase.

Detroit Police say they have arrested two teenage boys in the savage beating of a tree trimmer from Clinton Township.
On Wednesday afternoon Steven Utash, a 54-year-old white man, was driving his truck near Morang and McKinney in Detroit when 10-year-old David Harris apparently inadvertently stepped in the street in front of Utash's vehicle and Harris was struck.
Utash stopped his truck and got out to check on the boy when a group of approximately 12 black men approached him and began beating him, according to police reports. After Utash was knocked unconscious the crowd stole his money and credit cards.
Detroit Police Department Sgt. Michael Woody would not give out details of the investigation when talking to the media, saying that the investigation was ongoing and that police are searching for a number of people.
The boy is still in the hospital with abrasions and a foot injury. Utash is in a medically induced coma in St. Johns Hospital with multiple head injuries. His condition is listed as critical.
One man's opinion:
This is an absolutely horrible crime. The Detroit police appear to be vigilantly searching for those responsible. All those involved should be charged with a hate crime on top of anything else. If the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office refuses to do it, then the federal government should step in.

Eat. Eat. Eat.
This seems to be a concept that a lot of Americans have grown accustomed to. And it's a custom that continues to trickle down with America's youth.
Adolescents today are more overweight than ever before.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and more than quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.
The percentage of children aged 6 to 11 in the United States who were reported obese increased from 7 percent in 1980 to nearly 18 percent in 2012. During the same period, the percentage of adolescents aged 12-19 who were obese increased from 5 percent to 21 percent, according to the CDC.
Unfortunately, there isn't one answer or solution to the question: "Why are so many kids overweight?"
The most common causes of obesity are genetic factors, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors, according to WebMD.
However, even though there may be evidence to support the notion that weight problems run in your family, not all families with a history of weight issues experience being overweight in their lifetime.
Children whose parents or brothers or sisters are overweight, may be at an increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can also be linked to the family's shared behaviors like eating habits and physical exercise.
A child's overall diet and physical activity plays a major role in the child's weight. Today, many children spend a great deal of time being inactive.
For example, the average child spends approximately four hours each day watching television, according to MayoClinic. As electronic devices such as iPads and video games continue to grow increasingly popular, so will inactivity.
The more a child becomes overweight, the more health factors he or she will endure. Obese children are at risk for a number of health conditions, including:
• High cholesterol.
• High blood pressure.
• Early heart disease.
• Diabetes.
• Bone problems.
• Skin conditions such as heat rash, acne, and fungal infections.
According to healthychildren.org, if you have an overweight child, it's very important as a parent to remain supportive. It is not recommended that parents set their children apart because of their weight.
Instead, parents should focus on looking for ways to change and improve their family's diet and physical activity. When the entire family becomes involved, everyone can work together to learn healthy eating habits, and the overweight child won't feel singled out.
Create a plan of attack as soon as possible. The quicker you react as a family, the better off the child's health will be.
It's never too late.

I Need Equality by lidsworthWatch
©2014-2016 lidsworth
In response to a very famous piece right now, though this won't recieve as much attention as that piece will. I've gathered situations from all around and crafted this.
The Spanish translates to: I need Equality because I don't speak English, but I'm still American. In Texas where I live, the Latino community is very mistreated by society, and everyone who cannot speak English is assumed to be an illegal immigrant, when that's not always the case. I wanted to really hit on that.
As well as other world issues, Equality is a national thing, not an Westernized Feminist thing, so enjoy.
Equality is very good.
I really like it and the message is great. Moreover the spanish bit was a good idea as well. It gave the poem something special
Keep it up
Keep it up
I hope I'm not being arrogant in assuming that it was my piece (I Need Feminism) that you were referring to as that other piece. If so, then I'm really pleased that it inspired you to write this; it's a really great poem! I love the message and I think it was especially clever of you to put that Spanish bit in. Personally, I think that this deserves more attention than the poem I wrote (I honestly do) because it has a much wider message. I really like it and fully support its message!
This is amazing
This is awesome! I like how it's more inclusive and general than that "popular" piece you were referring to.
This is a very touching poem/statement, I feel you, I really do.
And it isn't right for people to assume every spanish person in America is an illegal.
But..this is america, we are a major english speaking country, When tourists from here go to paris or Italy, or Africa, we learn to speak the language, even if its just enough to speak a few sentences that will help the locals to understand us.
So isn't it just as unfair for Americans to have to learn spanish to get a job so that they can help spanish people.
Shouldn't every foreigner who (legally) immigrates to America, be required to learn some bit of the english Language?
Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but in a nation that's known the be the melting pot, I'd assume tourist would be a little more open minded, but yeah, I do believe that those who legally migrate to American need to learn English.
Nailed it.
I just simply stated an opinion that would make more sense than everyone discriminating against each other..
Another fact..I see this all the time, Black people calling white people crackers and no one freaks out about that but, someone so much as whispers the 'N' word and we have riots in the streets. Why is ok one way but not the other?
The reason people discriminate against blacks and other colored people and their stereotypes is because, (I'm not saying white people don't do it too!) Most crimes are committed by a person of color!
They're race has created their own stereotypes and they enforce them all the time! The innocent ones do pay the price as well but you know what, I'd rather be suspicious about some one than be abducted and raped because I gave some one I didn't know, the benefit of the doubt.
Point is, your race dug you a hole..you can either get angry at others, lie in it, or you can help people, become a better person and changed people's opinions of "you" but you are not responsible for the well being of your race!
You must be a new age philosopher.
I thank you for the compliment (unless you were being a smart ass) but I won't claim to be something I am not
I am just simply a person with an opinion which I believe makes more sense then what we are doing now
I was not being a smart ass, that was just a very well expressed opinion you had. and I agreed with it.
Awesome. I read the other piece you are referring to as well, and you are right, there are many areas in which equality is lacking.
Hopefully it gets around like the other one did, and if not, at least you saw it. Thanks for the comment.
I wish you all the best. I think the other one probably just struck a nerve with a lot of women. I was just reflecting in the past few days about how much aggressive stuff towards women I was witnessing on the internet. It just seems to be proliferating everywhere and I've had enough of witnessing it.

Demi Lovato: Overdose "Could Definitely Have Happened to Me"
Demi Lovato says the party-centric celebrity lifestyle is partially to blame for some of her well-publicized personal struggles.
The singer-actress, who spent several months in a treatment center, has never explicitly responded to rumors of drug and alcohol abuse, but now reportedly acknowledges both played a role in her downward spiral.
"Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my a**," she's quoted as saying in a new interview with the British magazine Fabulous.
RELATED – Demi Lovato: "I Almost Ran Over" Paul McCartney With My Car!
Lovato, who says she was "having fun," goes on to admit that "being a celebrity can be dangerous," since "nobody says 'no'."
"That's why so many end up overdosing and dying," she continues. "It could definitely have happened to me."

Now Lovato, who says she is single and "not dating at all," is working hard to stay on the straight and narrow, though she confesses she's "slipped up a few times."
"I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself. My outlook is more positive and I am happy," she tells the magazine.
Gossip Cop reached out to Lovato's reps to verify the interview's quotes, but has yet to hear back.

The following is possibly true but I can't find a corresponding theorem:
If $E/F$ is the splitting field of some polynomial in $F$ and $F \subset K \subset E$ then:
$Gal(E/K)$ normal subgroup of $Gal(E/F)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $K/F$ is a normal field extension
Is this true? I think saying that $E/F$ is the splitting field of some polynomial in $F$ is the same as saying $E/F$ is Galois and therefore the Galois correspondence theorem applies. But I'm not sure I see how the meaning of normality of a subgroup relates to the meaning of normality of a field extension. But maybe the above is wrong altogether?
In any case, many thanks for your help to clarify this.

According to CBS News on Saturday, more people will be traveling this Labor Day holiday weekend which AAA officially defines as starting Thursday, Aug. 28 through Monday, Sept. 1. Millions across the country are gearing up to take advantage of the end of summer by traveling on the road, on the rails or in the air.
Travel is only up 1.3 percent, but it's producing a number of travelers we haven't seen in some time. More people are heading out this upcoming holiday weekend. More than 35 million are expected to travel 50 miles or more.
Christine Delise of AAA Mid-Atlantic says this year's travel will be at the highest level for the Labor Day weekend since 2008. Like the increase of traveling during the Fourth of July and Memorial Day holidays, traveling is slightly up from 2013. About 34.7 million people will travel 50 miles or more over the Labor Day weekend. This is a 1.3 percent increase over last year. According to a report, the breakdown it about 29 million people going by car and nearly 3 million or more traveling by air.
The auto club credits the increase in traveling to the economy bouncing back, and people can afford to travel. Because of a stronger economy, AAA says more Americans are feeling more comfortable about using their credit cards to pay for holiday weekend travel and activities. Also, the holiday is coming earlier on the calendar this year, and the nation is seeing the lowest gas prices in August since 2010. These gas prices will more than likely continue to drop into the fall.
USA reports that almost 86% of Labor Day travelers will probably go by car. Gas is currently averaging $3.44 a gallon vs. $3.59 on Labor Day 2013. While travelers will pay less for gas, they should expect to pay more for your hotel which is expected to be about a six percent to nine percent increase all because of higher demand.
The cost of renting a car over the holiday weekend is the same as last year, averaging $51 a day. Flying will cost slightly more, with the average discounted round-trip fare for the 40 most popular domestic routes increasing 2% over last year, from $214 to $219.
The peak times of holiday travel this year are Friday afternoon and Monday. To avoid the heaviest traffic, try to leave on Thursday and return on a Tuesday, if possible. Whether you drive or fly, remember to be safe over the Labor Day weekend.

Oolong tea is classified in the west as semi- or partially-oxidized tea, in contrast to green tea, which is unoxidized, and black tea, which is fully oxidized. In China and Taiwan, when tea professionals use the word oolong, they are generally referring to a varietal or cultivar of camellia sinensis. When they speak of partially-oxidized tea, they usually refer to it as qing cha. To understand oolong teas better, an important first step is to know how they are processed, and how differences in processing result in different flavor profiles.
The Making of Oolong Tea
The making of oolong tea is considered among the most difficult of tea processing methods, since it includes many steps and requires a great deal of precision and expertise. For example, if too much moisture is left in the leaves, the tea may have a moldy character. If the tea is baked at too high a temperature, it can taste burnt.
After the withering in outside temperature is complete, the tea is brought indoors for additional withering and oxidization. Depending on the type of oolong tea, the leaves are mixed and turned, approximately every two hours for a period of 8-10 hours, in order to be evenly oxidized. It is helpful to think of oxidation as a continuum, ranging in degrees from zero to 100%, where partially-oxidized oolong teas fall between 15-70% oxidation.
The fourth step is to pan fire the leaves, which slows the pace of oxidation and begins the drying process. According to Jackson Huang, former chairman of the Taiwan Tea Manufacturers Association, about 50% of the moisture remains in the leaves at this point, compared to about the 75% that was present prior to processing. After pan firing, the leaves are rolled around in a machine that lightly crushes them, releasing juices that contribute to the flavor and aroma of the finished tea.
Other oolongs, such as Tie Guan Yin (also Iron Goddess, Ti Kwan Yin), Tung Ting (Dong Ding), and High Mountain Oolong (Gaoshan Oolong), are dried partially and then shaped into balls, during a process in which the leaves are wrapped tightly in a cloth ball, and the balls of leaves are rolled in a machine usually three at a time (formerly, the balls were rolled by foot). The leaves are then removed from the cloth and tumbled in a cylindrical drying machine on low heat to separate the clumps of leaves. This step is repeated as much as 32 times, for over a period of eight hours.
For some teas, there is an additional baking step, which results in what is now often referred to as Amber Oolong. This is associated with the traditional flavors of oolong tea produced in China. Traditionally, the tea was baked in bamboo baskets over charcoal, but now electric heat is often used instead. Since baking time and temperature determines the final taste of the tea, this results in a spectrum of different taste profiles, such as the lighter, aromatic flavors of Taiwan's High Mountain Oolongs, the complex richness of Tie Guan Yin, and the heartiness of Fo Shou (Buddha's Palm).
Signature Oolongs of China
In China, there are many types of varietals used to make oolong teas that are not found in Taiwan (too many to mention here). China oolongs are traditionally oxidized more and baked longer at higher temperatures than Taiwan oolongs, yielding a rich, full-bodied tea with little astringency.
The most famous mainland oolong teas are those from the Fujian province, which is the origin of the legendary Wuyi Rock or Cliff Teas (Wuyi Yan Cha or Yancha), where the tea plants grow on cliffs. According to the former Chinese Ministry of Agriculture official, Mr. Hu Zeng, many of these teas are extremely rare, with some of the tea gardens almost completely inaccessible. Famous Wuyi teas include: Xiao Hong Pao (Small Red Robe), Shuixian (Water Sprite), Rougui (Chinese Cassia), and Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe). Of these, Da Hong Pao is probably the rarest, since the authentic it is made with leaves from just one ancient tea tree, so very little is produced each year. Each of these Wuyi teas is distinctive in terms of flavor, but overall the best of them can be described as mellow and rich, often with the aroma of orchids and an aftertaste reminiscent of ripe fruit or peach pits.
Another famed mainland tea is Tie Guan Yin, which originates from Anxi County in Fujian. With a smooth, mellow flavor and golden-hued aromatic cup, this tea is a wonderful transition for those that wish to stop drinking coffee. Tie Guan Yin is usually made from the unit of the same name, but it can also be made from the qingxin oolong varietal. About 35-40% of the oxidized tea leaves from the Tie Guan Yin line are stronger and more pliant than qingxin. The leaves are rolled into a ball shape during processing, and then baked at medium-high temperatures to produce its well-known flavor characteristics.
The Fenghuang Dancong (Phoenix Select) is made of leaves from single trunk trees grown on Phoenix Mountain in the Guangdong Province. Due to their height, pickers usually use ladders or climb the trees to pluck the leaves. The twisted leaves are a brownish color, which are capable of several aromatic infusions of amber-hued liquor. Some have an almost woody flavor, while others may be slightly bitter or astringent on the first infusion.
Signature Oolongs of Taiwan
Originally a repository of tea-making expertise from the Fujian province, Taiwan now stands on its own in terms of the quality and uniqueness of its oolongs. Although there is evidence of the existence of wild tea plants some 300 years ago, much of the tea that is produced there today are varietals that were brought from Fujian during the 19th century. The most prominent being Wuyi oolong, which was planted in central Taiwan, and Anxi tea varietals, which were planted in the North. Traditional mainland oolong processing methods were used for many years. As Taiwan's tea industry grew, tea makers refined their processing methods and produced several, new types of blends. Today, there are over 100 different varietals cultivated around the island, many of which are used to produce popular oolong-style teas (e.g., Jinhsuen, a wide type of leaf that is often used for making High Mountain tea, and Szjichuan, which is used for many Jade Oolongs).
Originally, most commercial tea was produced in northern Taiwan. The Wenshan Baozhong, for example, is known for its light infusion and floral aroma and aftertaste. It is grown in the hills northeast of Taipei, with long, twisted leaves that are only oxidized about 10-15%. Closer to Taipei, the hills of Maokung are known for production of Tie Guan Yin tea, sometimes scented with osmanthus flowers. Made in the Fujian style, this is a rich, flavorful tea with a sweet, lingering aftertaste. However, it is becoming more difficult to find, since according to former chairman, Huang and tea growers in Maokung, many tea farmers in this area are converting to coffee production.
In the southwest region of Taipei, the exquisite Oriental Beauty is made. Using the qingxin dapan varietal, this tea -- unique to Taiwan -- is oxidized as much as 70%, yielding a medium-bodied liquor with a floral aroma and an intense, rich aftertaste of honey and peaches, popular with westerners who like the natural sweetness. While some lower grades may be baked, the best Oriental Beauty is not.
Taiwan's famed Tungting (Frozen Peak) Oolong tea is made in the central county of Nantou. Processed like Fujian teas, classic Tungting Oolong is oxidized about 20-30% and is medium-bodied and smooth, with a lingering sweet aftertaste. According to Huang, however, there is less baking involved, and the trend is to produce greenish, Jade Oolong-style tea. "This trend is also being followed in China, with classic Fujian teas being made in the same style as Taiwan's fragrant Jade Oolong styles."
Given the prices the Taiwan's high mountain teas command, this comes as no surprise. Li Shan, Ju Shan, and Shanlinxi are homes to some of Taiwan's most memorable teas, and at their best, these high mountain oolongs, grown at elevations of 3000-feet and higher, have a full mouth-feel, intense floral aroma, and a long-lasting aftertaste that is refreshing and sometimes even buttery, depending on the level of oxidation and baking.
Educating Consumers
The world of premium tea is complex due to many factors, including the sheer number of tea names, tea tree varietals, processing methods, and even the creativity of marketers trying to entice customers with unique names and exaggerated stories and legends about tea. Helping consumers through all of this is necessary to help grow the premium and specialty tea market.
One way tea merchants can make it easier for consumers to understand oolongs is to group the teas not only by origin, but also according to the broad categories that were established by tea professionals a number of years ago. These subdivision are Jade Oolong, Amber Oolong, and Champagne Oolong. The Jade Oolong is the least oxidized, while the Amber Oolong has a higher level of baking, and the Champagne Oolong has a high level of oxidation. Another way of articulating the differences is by using familiar vocabulary to describe taste profiles, such as "light and floral," "smooth and medium-bodied," or "hearty and rich." This helps consumers make choices about the teas they would like to try according to their own taste buds.
Tea merchants can also help consumers by educating them about what distinguishes the major categories of tea and how these differences determine taste. Conducting horizontal tea tastings, in which green, oolong, and black teas are contrasted, or vertical oolong tea tastings, in which a spectrum of oolong taste profiles are represented, exposes consumers to a variety of flavors.
Finally, merchants are in the position of having to educate many consumers about how to brew specialty teas. Preparing tea incorrectly is a sure way to discourage consumers from being adventurous. Most oolongs should not be brewed at boiling temperature, especially the lighter ones from Taiwan. Chinese oolongs with higher levels of oxidation and baking can withstand higher water temperatures but still usually just under boiling point. Depending on the vessel used and the quantity of tea, it is generally enough to steep most oolongs for about a minute on the first steeping and then to add 30 seconds to a minute for each subsequent steeping. Once consumers have tried oolongs that have been brewed correctly, they often have little or no desire to add sugar and milk. In addition, knowing that many oolongs can be infused several times increases the perceived value of specialty teas, because customers will understand that high per-pound prices do not necessarily translate to high per-cup prices. Ultimately, a greater number of educated consumers will help encourage brisker levels of premium tea consumption, which we hope will someday parallel the level of premium coffee consumption that the specialty coffee industry enjoys today.

Nick Curtin, the chef who made a name for himself at the short-lived Compose and then took the burger market by storm at ever-popular Lower East Side eatery Rosette, is moving to Denmark.
Curtin will be leaving cozy Rosette to move his career forward. The buzzed-about chef has accepted a position at Claus Meyer's Almanak in Copenhagen.
Almanak will be located in a "massive restaurant and bar complex" created by the mastermind behind Noma, which is widely considered the best restaurant in the world.
As Grubstreet reports, Curtin will be succeeded in the Rosette kitchen by chef Carl Kristian Frederiksen, who has built his resume at restaurants like Aamanns-Copenhagen in Tribeca and Acme in Noho. The restaurant has complete confidence in Frederiksen, noting that he "understands" the basics and groundwork of Curtin's cooking.
A week ago, in perhaps an effort of foreshadowing, Rosette announced on Instagram that Frederiksen would host a special 8-course tasting menu tonight alongside Swedish chef Marcus Jernmark.
Curtin's Rosette has earned acclaim for its modern American fare since its opening last winter. Favorite dishes range from wood-fired chicken wings to seared beef tartare, but people flock to the depths of East Broadway specifically to try Rosette Burger. The burger was listed on Grubstreet's, "13 New Burgers That Demand Your Attention" roundup, and is priced at a cool $17 a pop.
Rosette, 171 East Broadway. New York, NY 10002. Book on Opentable, or call (212) 933-1176.

How many times have you driven by a homeless person holding a sign stating they will work for food wishing you could help them; yet, were concerned you may only feed what keeps them on the street? In our fast paced and often dangerous world, this is a very real dilemma. In Nashville alone, there are 11,000 adult and 4,000 children who are homeless. This is a plight that is hard to ignore. There are really no easy answers to this dilemma. Thankfully, there is a ministry right here in Nashville, that has met the needs of the homeless and disenfranchised right where they live. In November of 2004, Candy Christmas began bringing large pots of homemade jambalaya to people living under the Jefferson Street Bridge; and from that small start The Bridge Ministry was born. Today, The Bridge Ministry makes 36,000 meals and gives away 720K pounds of food annually. From large pots of homemade jambalaya brought to a few hungry men, the ministry has grown to feeding the homeless in Nashville at the Tuesday evening services. In addition, The Bridge aids schoolchildren on assisted lunch programs by filling their backpacks with food on Friday afternoons so that they have food over the weekend; and, provides over 2000 toys and gifts for needy children and families at Christmas. Starting this past summer, the ministry began "The Bridge to Kids Summer Program", making sure that no child goes hungry during the summer. A 20,000 square foot warehouse in Nashville stores food for the Tuesday evening service, as well as acts as a local food bank for other area ministries.
In honor of the decade of service to the homeless, The Bridge is holding "A Night to Remember" on Thursday, September 25, 2014. "A Night to Remember" is The Bridge Ministry's biggest fundraising event. This year the concert's proceeds will continue furnishing the Tuesday evening meal services, providing the toys and gifts at Christmas, the lunch programs and the kid's summer program. Your involvement will help the program continue to aid people in need.
Amy Grant will be the keynote speaker for "A Night to Remember" and the evening will feature a performance by Voices of Lee. We will also be remembering Al and Era Jaynes, dear friends who tirelessly supported the ministry's efforts over the past years. This will be a wonderful celebratory evening of entertainment at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena.
The main ways to get involved are:
- Sponsoring a table
- Being an event sponsor
- Giving a one-time gift or
- Pledging a monthly gift
With so many options to allow you to support this wonderful ministry, would you please consider attending "A Night to Remember" or donating a generous gift? Some levels of sponsorship give your organization exposure before the event. The Bridge is a federally recognized 501(c )(3)organization, which means all donations are tax deductible.
Please call Dawn Murphy if you would like to participate. Her direct line is (615) 855-2611 and her email is email@example.com.
The Bridge is honored to live out the words of Jesus when he said, "…inasmuch as ye gave done it unto one of the lease of my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)

and under the assumption that the LCRU would be on
for most of the traverse. It is assumed that
the crew gets out of the LM and spends about an hour
preparing. About 15 minutes after they leave
the LM, they will "start" the LCRU so they can
communicate using the Rover antennas rather than
going through the LM and, possibly, transmit TV
continuously. It is not clear to me what is
meant by the words "15 Min. Traverse vs. Stationary
TV" on the righthand side of the drawing. At 5
hours of LCRU operation, they would "stop" using the
LCRU and arrive at the LM about 15 minutes
later. The notional track for the middle part
of the traverse is not shown.
|Concept for a
Pitch, Roll, Heading Indicator Mounted on the LRCU
and intended for reading with the Ground
Controlled Television Assembly (GCTA). Note, also,
a mirror mounted to give a view of the signal
strength meter on the side of the LCRU. The
indicator may have been intended for use while
the Rover was in motion. However,
experience during Apollo 15 showed clearly that
it wasn't possible to maintain high-gain
pointing accurate enough while moving. A
simpler Pitch/Rolll indicator was actually used on
the Moon, mounted on the side of the Rover console
in easy sight of the Commander. The Rover
navigation system provided heading information
based on differential wheel rotations since the
last initialization.

|A possible option if,
for example, development of the Rover had been
delayed long enough for NASA to fly a second MET
mission, as had been the original plan for Apollo
15. Although the terrestrial weight of the TV/TCU,
LCRU, batteries, and antennas was 48 kg and wouldn't
have overloaded the MET, the TV gear took up enough
room that the crew may have needed a second MET to
carry geology tools and samples. The
small box with handles mounted at the back is an
LCRU battery (approx. 12 x 24 x 12 cm, 4 kg).

|In hindsight, this
back-up plan for carrying the LCRU and low-gain
antenna on one of the PLSSs probably wouldn't have
been necessary. During Apollo 17 EVA-2, Gene
Cernan and Jack Schmitt made a stop for a gravimeter
reading on their way from Station 2 to Station
3. Gene noticed that he had forgotten to
re-aim the low-gain when they left Station 2,
meaning they had been communicating with Houston via
a signal from Gene's PLSS antenna to the LM and
onward to Earth, rather than via the low-gain.
Despite the fact that they were over 7 km from the
LM and without a line-of-sight to the spacecraft
because of terrain on the Lincoln-Lee scarp, there
is no noticeable difference in the recorded
communications during this traverse segment compared
with other periods when their comm was going
directly to Earth via the low-gain antenna.

|Late in the their
first EVA, the Apollo 17 crew deployed the SEP
transmitter about 100 meters east of the LM, laying
out a crossed-dipole antenna consisting of four 35-m
long wires on a cross
pattern of Rover tracks Gene Cernan
made for that purpose. During the EVA-2 and EVA-3
traverses, the SEP recevier mounted at the back of
the Rover recorded signals from the transmitter
which ultimately yielded data
about the properties of the rocks making up the
upper few kilometers of the Moon. See,

|It is possible to
imagine that, had the Apollo 17 Rover failed, the
crew might have hand carried the SEP receiver on the
outbound leg of one of their walking
traverses. As was done with the Rover
traverses, they would have walked as far from the LM
as they were going to go without doing much
sampling, leaving the sampling for the walk back to
the LM. This would have been done to maximize
the consumables - oxygen and cooling water - they
had available at their greatest distance from the
LM. On the way back, sampling would have been
the highest priority and they would have left the
SEP receiver at the farthest point.

Mr. Burns, a veteran of World War 2 was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medal while serving with the 82nd Airborne Division. He began his working career shortly after being discharged. Jobs were scarce at the time and he signed on as an ordinary seaman in the Merchant Marine aboard an Atlantic Refining Company oil tanker. After a short time he enrolled in flight school under the G.I. Bill and earned his wings with a land and seaplane rating. Four years later he acquired a British Pilots license. After Flight School he worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad in track maintenance and later as a Block Operator in the Signal Department. From there he was hired as a Truck Traffic Supervisor at Publicker's Continental Industries.
In 1950 he went to England to study commercial art at the Chelsea Institute of Art in London for a year. After that he was hired by the US State Department Foreign Service as a staff member at the Embassy in London. He got married in England and after three years in London he and family were transferred to the US Embassy in Athens, Greece for two years and then to Washington DC for another year at the State Department. He then accepted a position with the Naval Air Engineering Facility in Philadelphia.
Mr. Burns has a natural born talent for drawing and painting but did not take up art as a vocation until during his time with Naval Air Engineering. He was asked to illustrate an engineer recruitment brochure plus a couple of other training programs and was awarded a Superior Accomplishment Award by the Naval Department. He was then recruited into the Engineering Department as a Technical Illustrator.
After three and a half years at the Naval Base he received an offer from RCA Government Systems Division who had seen some of his work. RCA offered a substantial increase in salary and he accepted. He worked there as an illustrator, with top secret government clearance, for twenty-nine years on various programs for the Air Force, Army, Navy, and NASA doing technical drawings, cut-away and exploded views, as well as full color concepts. Occasionally RCA corporate headquarters in New York would have him do charcoal portraits of company executives for testimonials.
retiring from RCA/GE in 1989, he was hired by American Systems
Engineering Corp., Virginia Beach, VA. to work at their
Philadelphia office as a technical illustrator on shipboard
installation contracts for the US Navy. After six years with
Amsec the company closed its Philadelphia office and Mr. Burns
was hired by another firm, a hair replacement company, as
their art director to design all their brochures, literature,
and magazine advertisements and negotiate printing costs with
various printing companies and mailing houses. This company
sent him to England for ten days to visit similar firms, study
their procedures, and to negotiate affiliations with those
that met company standards.
Mr. Burns is the father of three successful daughters, all with law degrees, and a son a recruiting manager with AT&T. He is the proud grandfather of four grandchildren and father-in-law to two fine son-in-laws and one lovely daughter-in-law. His youngest daughter and her husband are partners in a Pennsylvania law firm.

Paula's Pillowcase Project
Last year, I participated for the first time in my friend Paula's Pillowcase Project. You can read more about it here .
Paula's son was diagnosed several years ago with a rare form of cancer called Sarcoma. While he was in the hospital getting treatment they realized how uncomfortable the pillowcases were on bald Chemo heads and Paula's Pillowcase Project was born.
For the past three years Paula has gathered her friends in the community to a two day event of cutting, ironing and sewing pillowcases to be hand delivered to kids with cancer at Children's hospital in Seattle. I was happy to be a part of it again this year.
Paula (the adorable red head) started our day off by explaining how to sew the pillowcase.
On the first day, helpers take pre-washed fabric and cut it down to size and lay the three pieces in a set to make the assembly line process of pillowcase making easier.
It's then taken to a group of pinners who pin the three pieces into place so that it's ready for sewing.
This group of teenage girls were awesome helpers. The adorable girl in the yellow headband is named Taylor. She was diagnosed with cancer just before her 16th birthday. Two failed bone marrow transplants later, she's 19 and in remission! It was exciting to talk with her about her plans for college in the fall.
These two lovely ladies were my "team". Debbie who is seated, did the pinning for me, and Brenda, Taylor's mom, (standing) did my ironing. Boy, I wish I had them at home to help me out with my sewing sometimes!
Lots of ironing...
lots of sewing...
and some more cutting happen
while the sewers stay busy sewing pillowcases at various stages of completion.
Once a pillowcase is done, someone rings the bell and makes a tally mark. It's such an awesome way to hear progress throughout the day. That little bell ring in the other room is music to our ears!
There is also a group of faithful women who make beautiful cards that are attached to each pillowcase. Not only are the cards beautiful, each is handwritten with a heartfelt sentiment.
It's always nice to take a break for lunch
and yummy desserts.
Sometimes having a conversation over the hum of the sewing machines is a bit difficult!
Then we head back to work putting bows and cards on each completed pillowcase.
Since there are many cancer parents and kids that participate each year, Paula is able to immediately hand off the pillowcases for delivery to Children's hospital.
We hope the kids that are the recipients of these pillowcases feel the love that went into making them on such a special weekend. Thanks Paula for all of the work you do!

Our thoughts are still with Japan
Just this week our cousin Chad has been deployed (in that sweet ride!) from his base in Okinawa, Japan into Atsugi (just outside of Tokyo). He's already hard at work with the Nuclear Decontamination crew and will be helping to plan the safe exit of our troops from the disaster area when it's time. As you can see, he has a sweet one year old daughter (she didn't get to go with him, just liked playing on the steps like any one year old!) and another sweet kiddo on the way. Please join me in praying for his speedy and safe return.

Goodwill...is it too expensive?
I'm cheap. Like really cheap. I do most of our shopping at garage sales (check out some of my past What I Wore Wednesday-Garage sale editions) but during the winter when it isn't garage sale season, I get a little antsy. Sometimes I get motivated to head into my local Goodwill and see what I can find.
I worked at Goodwill back when I was in High School. It was such a fun job. A treasure hunt of sorts nearly everyday of working and always first dibs (or so it seemed) on most things. The inventory was constantly changing and each box was filled with something different and it was a surprise every time you opened a box.
I know the key to finding the best deals at Goodwill is to shop often, but for me, it seems like Goodwill is just getting too pricey. I walked into the door today and found this dresser marked at nearly $200!
Don't get me wrong, this dresser is a beautiful piece. It has tons of potential, but $200? On something Goodwill got as a donation.
There were bed frames marked for nearly $600. Does that seem a bit pricey to anyone else?
This couch was marked $89. I know there are plenty of free couches on Craigslist that look similar to this one.
This couch was marked $89. I know there are plenty of free couches on Craigslist that look similar to this one.
I also found pictures to be a bit on the expensive side. This picture wasn't anything special and it was marked $49.
I would have bought this cake stand but for $15? I could have found it cheaper on clearance.
Goodwill started carrying items from Target back when I worked there over 15 years ago. They are called Grey Goods. When I was working there, they were donations, now I am told (by the supervisor at Goodwill) that the Target items are bought (at a reduced price) and sold at a percentage off the retail price.
Which is why this piece is new and in the box cost $12.
Or why these frames cost $6.50 (the scratches come for free!)
This shirt didn't have any tags on it showing me that it was new from Target, but it was Target's brand. You can buy it for $8.99. Really? $8.99? I know of plenty of retail stores where I could buy this shirt new for around that price.
I remember seeing this same kids shirt last week. At $5.99 it doesn't surprise me that it's still there. The $5.99 price tag is the standard price for shirts in the kids department. At least many of them that I saw.
And speaking of prices, I thought it was funny that I saw a shirt with a $5.99 price tag from Goodwill, but the clearance price was only $4.48 at Target. If the product didn't sell on clearance at Target for that, why do they think they can get more for it at Goodwill?
I actually noticed that most of the items that were from Target had red clearance stickers at one point, but many of them were pulled off so that the Goodwill customer couldn't see the retail price.
When I spoke to the supervisor she told me that they are required to mark the Target items at a percentage off of the retail price and that most of the time that price is higher than the clearance price. So why not shop at Target instead? I think I would much rather spend my time checking often at Target for clearance sales, then checking often at Goodwill for their higher marked items.
The other trend I am noticing at Goodwill now is that since they are taking in more retail items and selling more new items, that the store has less character.
Rows and rows of plaid shorts
or end caps filled with Hanes socks doesn't seem like a treasure hunt to me anymore. And really, isn't that the best part?
I love that you can still find a diverse amount of items at the store. Someone in the back must know that trench coats are trendy this season because when I walked in, I found a whole rack of them. But, I am thinking that this 1980's trench coat isn't what In Style magazine was thinking.
And at a price tag of $29.99, I think I will pass.
Goodwill is even too expensive for me to do "gag" shopping at. This jacket would have been perfect for the 80's New Years party my husband and I went to this year, but with a price tag of $8.99, no thanks!
And with wedding season upon us, Goodwill had rows of wedding dresses all lined up. There were some great dresses, but like all things Goodwill, you have to hit the jackpot with finding the right size. Then I looked at the price tag...
holy smokes! $99.99 for this particular wedding dress from David's bridal. I know I've heard the commercials for David's bridal and know you can often get $99 BRAND NEW wedding dresses at their store. I've been a bride on a budget before and know that I would have much rather gotten my dress cheap from a bridal store, than cheap from Goodwill.
I also saw this lovely shoe display. These shoes were all marked for $14.99. That seems expensive to me for used shoes that aren't any special brand.
The Goodwill I remember operated on set prices and even those seem to be getting quite expensive. Check out the prices for books. We usually get our books from the library for free or at garage sales for a quarter a piece.
So I wonder, is this Goodwill trend just in my area? Is Goodwill getting to be too commercial and too expensive for anyone else? I am not impressed.

College Hockey:Northeastern Stuns BC in OT
Huskies' Tally with 3.9 Seconds Remaining Ends Thriller
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Fifteen seconds remained in overtime between Boston College and an upstart Northeastern team, the game knotted at three.
The Eagles controlled the puck and looked to make one last rush in an attempt to win the game. Little did anyone know 11 seconds later, it would be the Huskies celebrating victory as the Eagles fell in defeat.
After the Eagles turned the puck over just in offensive zone, Northeasterns Joe Vitale rushed down the left wing, beat the Boston College defender and centered the puck towards the goalmouth. Jimmy Russo, crashing hard towards the net, tipped the puck off Boston College goaltender John Muse and into the net with 3.9 ticks off the clock remaining, giving Northeastern a hard-fought 4-3 overtime win.
Thats a difficult loss for our club, said BC coach Jerry York. We have possession of the puck with 15 seconds left to play and then things turned.
I told our guys that you have to play the game with a steel jaw.
As Northeastern celebrated the game-winner, referee Joe Andrews stood at the goal line with his linesmen looking a bit confused. None of the trio was able to get back in good position to see the entire play develop. And immediately after the goal was scored, there was question whether Russo had kicked in the puck.
They were looking to see if he had kicked it, said Northeastern coach Greg Cronin of the confusion following the game-winner, which led Andrews to check with the goal judge for clarification. But give [the goal judge] credit. He stood there the whole time and had conviction.
The victory boosts Northeasterns lead for the top stop in Hockey East to three points over Massachusetts, and extends the Huskies unbeaten streak to six straight.
Converse, BCs loss extends their winless streak to six games, its longest since the 2001-02 season when it dropped six straight decisions.
Though Russo deposited the game-winner, it was Vitale who was the offensive hero on the night, potting a goal and adding three assists to figure in all four Northeastern tallies.
Neither team mustered many shots on goal, but when they did, many were spectacular requiring both goaltenders to make incredible saves. Muse finished the night with 22 stops, while his counterpart Brad Thiessen made 20 to get the win.
The Eagles wasted no time jumping on top. Andrew Orpik worked a perfect give-and-go at the blue line with Tim Kunes. Kunes curled behind the net and fed the puck back to Orpik in the slot for a quick shot over Thiessens left shoulder at 5:52 for a 1-0 Eagle lead.
At 16:01, BC extended the advantage on the power play. Working the puck back to the left point, Benn Ferriero fired a wrist shot through traffic that banked off the left post and in.
The Eagles controlled the play throughout the opening 20, outshooting the Huskies, 9-3, and nearly entered the third with a 3-0 lead. Ferriero and Brian Gibbons perfectly worked a shorthanded two-on-one with 30 seconds remaining, but Thiessen made a nifty left pad save to stone Ferriero and keep the BC lead at two through one.
The first period, I was nervous, our team looked nervous, we were tentative, said Cronin. We looked like we were at the bus stop waiting for the bus to show up.
As little energy as the Huskies showed in the first, it was the exact opposite to open the second, something that quickly paid dividends.
Rookie Mike Hewkin blasted home his first career goal on the power play at 6:41 to bring Northeastern within a goal at 2-1. And 24 seconds later, Vitale caught the BC defense loafing, getting just enough space in front to bank home a centering pass to knot the game at two.
Northeastern had a perfect opportunity to take a lead into the third. A bad BC line change in the closing minutes sent Greg Costa and Russo in on a two-on-none breakaway. Costa chose to pass the puck to Russo, who snapped a quick shot that Muse followed all the way, making the save.
In the third, Northeastern took its first lead on 5-on-3 power play, as Tyler McNeely banged home the rebound of a Wade MacLeod shot at 5:57. The Huskies, though, failed to capitalize on an ensuing two-man advantage just minutes later, which left the door open for the Eagles.
BC took advantage. After an interference penalty to NUs Louis Liotti with 10:08 to play, the Eagles scored with Ben Smith lifting a rebound over a sprawled Thiessen with 9:19 remaining to knot the game at three.
Both teams pressed towards the end of regulation, but neither mustered a quality shot forcing overtime. It was the sixth overtime game of the year for BC and third for the Huskies.
The win was the first for the Huskies at BCs Kelley Rink since November 15, 1998, also an overtime victory, 5-4. Combined with two wins over New Hampshire this season and a position in first place in Hockey East entering the night, its certainly made people take notice.
Tonight was the first time were the first place team and being hunted, said Cronin. But the good thing is that we responded.

The comment that sparked our inspiration was innocent enough: "We should do that sometime." The conversation was about building a race car and going from being fans in the stands to racers on the track. It still surprises me how little planning we did before committing ourselves to this project. Little did we know what we were in for. There were three of us: brothers Rodney and Scott Helms and I. We knew we wanted to start in a smaller car and race on dirt; but otherwise, our enthusiasm far outstripped our knowledge. It wouldn't be the last time this was the case.
A few of the decisions were easy to make. We chose Lancaster (South Carolina) Speedway because it's close to home, dirt, and offers a division to our liking: the Modified Fours. Mod-4 cars, as they are commonly called, are four-cylinder rear-wheel drivers. They are entry-level, but a cut above the Bomber Class and require a good amount of preparation. That was fine with us since the allure was building a car as well as racing it.
With that out of the way, it was time for step one: Find a car. Here, we ran headlong into our first obstacle. A quick tour through a couple of local junkyards left us overwhelmed. Ninety percent of the field in this class is made up of Mustangs, so that's probably a safe bet, but what model? How much damage to the donor is too much? How much should we expect to pay? We needed help.
Calling All ExpertsLWP Auto Salvage is a family-owned scrapyard in Concord, North Carolina, that specializes in helping racers, so we went there armed with plenty of questions. "Most people these days in the four-cylinder classes are racing the Fox-body Mustangs, even though they have a (MacPherson) strut front suspension," explains Wayne Pendergrass, the "W" in LWP and a racer himself. "A double A-arm setup is easier to adjust, but to get a Ford with that you have to go back to the Pintos and Mustang IIs, and those are getting pretty rare." That is a favorite front suspension of the street rod building crowd, too.
Wayne spoke the truth-unmangled Pintos and Mustang IIs were tough to locate, and believe me, we tried. But he did point us to an '89 sedan body he'd already hulled out. We snatched it up quicker than you can say, "Will you take a check?" and Wayne even threw in a pair of doors, a hood and a nosepiece (although it may be damaged beyond repair). By the way, if you don't have a good pair of gloves, get some before you set foot in a junkyard. We invested in several pairs of Mechanix Wear gloves and have been very happy with them. Your hands will still be useful after you root around bent metal.
A hulled-out body may save us time stripping the car, but it also meant we had more junkyard shopping to do. We found both a front suspension and rear end off a '93 model at Love Auto Parts. Again, we weren't just looking for parts; we were looking for someone who could steer us in the right direction, and we found him in Mike Honeycutt. Mike has worked with race teams big and small and knew exactly what we needed. He led us to a '93 Mustang with only minor damage and even took off the parts we needed. Because most Fords, including Fox-body Mustangs, are unibodies (instead of a full-frame car with a body mounted on it) the entire front suspension came off in one piece.
"This car had the nose pushed up. It looks like it hit a ditch or something," Mike said of our donor car. "This is exactly what you are looking for if you need parts or an entire frame, because everything from the front shock towers back is still straight. If you are looking at a car that's wrecked in the side, if the damage is up high you are probably OK. If the damage is down low, be careful because the frame could be bent. If the frame is bent you'll probably never get everything straightened back out right."
