College Hockey:Robert Morris Downs Princeton
Colonials Pick Up First Victory Over ECACHL Opponent
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Robert Morris scored a big win in its final non-conference game of the 2005-06 slate, soundly defeating Princeton, 5-2, Tuesday night. Three Colonials recorded multi-point games while junior Joe Tuset tallied 30 saves in just his second career start.
The win was the first for Robert Morris over a team from the ECACHL after losing to Rensselaer in 2004-05 and Quinnipiac twice earlier this season. The Colonials snapped a four-game winless skid to improve to 6-15-2 on the year while the Tigers (7-13-1) fall for the first time in their last three games. Sophomores David Boguslawski and Brett Hopfe each had a goal and an assist in the game while sophomore Jace Buzek picked up two assists.
Wright put the Colonials on the board with 11 seconds left in the first period with a power-play goal, putting away his own rebound. Freshman Chris Margott fired a shot from the left circle that Hopfe redirected out to Wright on the edge of the left circle. Princeton goalie Eric Leroux made the initial stop on Wright's shot but the rebound came right back out to the senior and he roofed it on the second try.
Sophmore Logan Bittle carried the puck left to right across the slot after Boguslawski won it in the neutral zone. Bittle shoveled a back hand shot from the slot across Leroux' and under his outstretched right pad at 6:30 of the second period. Freshman forward Andrew Jackman picked up an assist on the goal as he helped Boguslawski free the puck.
The Colonials spent much of the period on the penalty kill after being whistled for four penalties playing a man down for 7:34 in the frame. Princeton took advantage with 12 shots in the period while Robert Morris had just three in the period after owning the first period edge, 12-7.
Penalties, power plays, an empty net and goals were the story of the third period as the teams combined for 10 penalties, nine power plays and five goals. Surprisingly, though, just one goal was scored on the power play while the Colonials scored twice on a Tigers net that was left empty for 2:36.
Princeton cut the lead to 2-1 as Patrick Neundorfer scored 1:47 into the period, picking up a rebound from a shot by Mike Moore.
Robert Morris answered 1:35 later after a tripping penalty on the Tigers' Brian Carthas. Boguslawski made Princeton pay when he beat back-up goaltender B.J. Sklapsky on the high stick side with a rebound shot from the slot. Just seconds earlier, Sklapsky stopped sophomore Jeff Gilbert's hard slap shot from the right point, but couldn't control the rebound which bounced out to Boguslawski.
Five penalties and five power plays followed with neither team able scored. Trailing 3-1, Princeton pulled Leroux with 4:36 left to play. The Colonials took advantage when sophomore Doug Conley scored his second of the season on an empty with assists from Buzek and sophomore Andrew Bonello.
The Tigers replaced Sklapsky after the goal, but pulled him 17 seconds later when Gilbert was whistled for a cross-checking infraction. This time the move paid off with Grant Goeckner-Zoeller scoring his team-leading 11th goal of the year with 2:00 left in the game and cutting the lead to 4-2.
After the goal, Princeton kept the net empty only to have Robert Morris score 17 seconds after the ensuing faceoff. Sophomore Joel Gasper intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and fed it to Hopfe who didn't miss the wide-open net from the middle of the slot.
Leroux finished the game with 12 saves and two goals against in 29:49. Princeton held a 32-25 advantage in shots on goal, including 25-13 over the last two periods. Each team had one power-play goal with the Tigers having nine opportunities to the Colonials six.

I wonder why it is always more difficult to accept happiness and joy than it is to accept misery. The Angel Appears to Zachariah (Luke 1:5-25):
"Do not be afraid, because your prayer has been heard…you will have joy and gladness…"
The Angel of God has told Zachariah exactly how his prayers will be answered– that he will have joy and gladness– but Zachariah does not believe it.
I am convinced more than ever that it is necessary to wage war on the voice of self-criticism. I will not refuse to be happy. I will not create low-grade conflicts in order to postpone or prevent my own joy and satisfaction with God, and with what I have.
Example 1: During prayer, the voice of criticism asks, "Why, Betty, do you always think about yourself when you're praying? Aren't you supposed to be contemplating the Divine Mystery?"
Self-ignorance is not the same as humility. If I constantly sabotage the pursuit to know myself honestly, to understand who I am and why I do what I do, I will remain in a state of spiritual chaos and unhappiness. Knowing God is one part, but self-examination is necessary in order to reconcile and change.
Example 2: When writing, the voice of criticism says, "This sucks. It will never be anything. You're wasting time and indulging in a selfish and fruitless activity."
It is not humility to remain always in a state of inactivity and yearning. It is not humility to deny myself the use of God's gifts. In fact it is self-indulgent to remain in stasis, to cut off a bud before it has a chance to bloom. I don't know what I could write if I don't allow the time and attention the work requires. Valuing where I am, and what I currently produce is a way of honoring who God made me, and accepting the joy that He's offered me, because writing gives me pleasure.
Example 3: Concerning my appearance: Self Criticism says, "You're overweight, getting old, and you lead a boring life. You need a pick-me-up. Commence shopping for a miracle."
It gets tiresome, never being satisfied with how I look or what I do. And yet the dissatisfaction provides hours of truly selfish and fruitless entertainment in the form of shopping or browsing online, a distraction from the joy God wants me to feel in having a healthy body and an appearance that serves my state in life quite well. Teeth a little yellow? A new whisker on my chin? The marsupial pouch of having carried six children? I'm not going to lie and say–It's ALL BEAUTIFUL! But it is what it is. It is who I am. It's not going away with a new pair of boots. It is not humility to hate myself and what I look like. In fact it is pride to imagine that, beyond a few gentle measures, I can altar the clay of which I'm made.
Example 4: Concerning my home: Self Criticism says, "First world activity! You and your hearty shelter! Trying to make things neat and pretty! You're a jerk for caring."
Refusing beauty is not the same as humility. Curating a house, creating order, is a way of fostering an environment that is conducive to hospitality and creativity, which is a gift to my family as well as myself. My attitude towards objects in the home should be liberal enough to inspire, and conservative enough to enable. Get rid of things that are not useful or beautiful. Keep things that I really appreciate and that serve a necessary function. Ignoring my house is a way of letting the things usurp my freedom of movement and freedom of mind.
The voice of self-criticism is almost always the voice of self-indulgence in disguise. It always strives to entice me into doing exactly what I want rather than what I need to do. It says, "Hey! Don't pray. Don't write. Don't clean. Go shopping!" And then you can always be unhappy and dissatisfied and convinced that the joy God promises you is not for you at all. It's for other people, better people, more worthy people, younger, prettier, thinner people.
The voice of self-criticism needs to be silenced.
Joy is for me. God wants joy and gladness for me.

Gents, prep your pins for Bermuda shorts this summer
The runways of Milan were packed with menswear looks built around Bermudas, baggy or tailored, but always above the knee. The shorts are proving versatile. They go with jackets, ample overcoats, or for the truly buff, nothing at all. The bare leg offers resplendent choices for footwear, from sturdy sandals to buckskin or woven leather shoes. Designers have gravitated toward dark socks for summer - no longer taboo. The formula reverses with long pants: then it's no socks. Men won't have to wait for casual Fridays to wear shorts to the office. These are highly tailored and completely suitable. This edition of Milan Fashion week features 78 designers - more than in recent seasons - with a concerted effort to highlight young talent. Four young designers - two Italians, a German and a Chinese - are making their runway debuts this week. - AP

Claire Danes: Gowned n Ready
Posted by Native NYker in cfda awards, claire danes, designer, hugh dancy, narciso rodriguez, nuptials, wedding plans on June 17, 2009
Claire Danes, here pictured at the CFDA Awards, tells People she is trusting her longtime short chubby Cuban friend and designer, Narciso Rodriguez, "implicitly" while he designs her wedding gown.
Danes is engaged to Brit hotness, Hugh Dancy. (Don't get me started!)
"It's amazing," Danes tells People at working with Rodriguez. "I'm so privileged. I'm collaborating a little bit, but I'm just trusting him implicitly. I'm offing my ideas, but they always pale in comparison to his," she adds.
What this means is that she's dissecting his every move and she has more suggestions than are welcomed.
This is always the case when non-artistic types "collaborate" with creative types. They have to ask about everything and have the smallest things changed so that they can go around blabbing "we worked on it together!"
Forever the double talker, Rodriguez says that Dane's "an extraordinary woman inside and out," which "always comes through. You can't hide it. I just try to make her look more beautiful."
This is double talk for "this bitch is driving me crazy and I wouldn't be putting up with it were it not for all the media coverage I am going to get on both sides of the Atlantic for doing her fucking dress!"

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 8 August 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560808-TC-JWC-01; CL 31: 159-160
Scotsbrig, 8 Augt, 1856—
Thanks, dear little Goody: your kind little Note was a great and welcome surprise to me here this morning, after my first (or bathing) walk before breakfast: I had no idea you could have so well computed the days, and contingencies of posts.
I came over yesterday afternoon, according to program; dry and unhurt, tho' begirt with thunder-clouds;—drove in the gig, carrying my saddle with me. I am very well (for the present, rain pouring outside, whh must dry before my horse and I can act); I need not say I was well received. I have also the privilege of being left alone this forenoon altogether, and am busy reading Suetonius,1 upon a sofa of due length. People are better to me than I deserve.
Yesternight passing thro' Ecclefechan I put a Letter for you into the Post office; it will be at Edinr tonight, at Auchtertool tomorrow, and I think you will not get it till monday. It was written at Gill, with some private disappointt at not having heard that morning. A weighty Letter; contains cloth and other things! The Cloth concerns a new Dressing-gown; which you will now be able to manage for me: the Letter from Edinr will only take a day to Gill; and a Parcel (if you find right to purchase,— see Letter when it arrives) will cost very little. Do what you find best, when you have seen the Letter now running on its travels.
And thanks again, dear Goody, for your desperate attempts to write,—whh are perfectly successful, you see: the distracted scrub of a steel pen, and gas-light that will not illuminate witht poisoning, cannot prevent one's meaning from shining thro'.
Poor good Betty, with her pale old clean face, and honest afflicted heart! I do return the Donaldson letter2 you see; a touching old record. Do not forget my sincere remembrances and regards; I still recollect Dunbar as the last and liveliest of many fine remembrances of good Sunnybank.3 Say something kind to Mrs Donaldson too;—of her son,4 for instance, how he helps me in my etymological and classical difficulties; and I find him "ready as a pocket-whistle," up to anything in that kind; the first man of his sort at this day, to all appearance.
And do not stay long at Craigen Villa with its carts going thro' your brain! I surely need not bid you get fast out of that, and back to Auchtertool again.—I return, Sunday evg, or Monday morning, according to the weather. We have had sixty hours of thunder; and it begins again, heavy rain withal. Yours ever, Goody dear T. C.
Since I began writing, little Jenny5 steps up, "Please, uncle &c to tell Mrs Carlyle to come her suin, if she can," in her mother's name.—Now for Suetonius again till the rain go. (Friday, 1 p. m.)

Economic Census
The Census Bureau conducts the Economic Census twice per decade for years ending with digits "2" and "7." It provides a snapshot of the American economy at a given time. Establishments, rather than companies, are the basis of the census. Establishments are places where business is conducted. One company that has three different facilities represents three establishments.

Background Information to the Economic Census
Uses of the Economic Census
The Economic Census is an important source of facts about the structure and functioning of the nation's economy. The federal government uses the data to compile ongoing economic indicators, such as the gross national product, and to develop indexes that measure industrial production and price levels. State and local governments use the data to assess business activities in their jurisdictions. Business people use the data to:
- Forecast general economic conditions and sales.
- Analyze sales performance.
- Establish sales territories.
- Allocate funds for advertising.
- Locate new plants, warehouses, and stores.
- Measure potential markets.
Additionally, trade and professional associations use the Economic Census to study and forecast trends that may affect their industries. This information is also valuable to university students, faculty, and others who must do any of the above as part of their research.

Warren Buffett is an iconic investor, and his leadership at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) is the stuff of legend.
Under Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway stock beat the S&P 500 38 out of 48 years 10 times since the investing guru took over in 1965. And according to a recent Newsday report, "cumulatively, Berkshire has delivered compounded annual gains of 19.7% to the S&P 500's 9.8%" since Warren Buffett took the helm.
Of course, the Oracle of Omaha is now 83 years old and it's time for Berkshire investors to start thinking of the future. Warren Buffett is reportedly weighing retirement and who will take the helm of BRK stock after he departs.
But in a recent interview with Liz Claman over at Fox Business Network, Warren Buffett revealed he isn't eager to hand over the reins just yet or name who will be sitting in his seat.
When Claman asked Warren Buffett whether he will name his successor this year, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO responded, "No…Well, because it — it could change between now and when that person succeeds me." He went on to say, "it may be next year they succeed me, it may be 10 years from now" and "their age would enter into who the successor would be, for example, because I believe that anybody who takes my job ought to have a very long run at it. They'll do better if they do."
That seems to indicate Buffett isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
The news comes as Berkshire Hathaway hosts its annual shareholders meeting in Omaha, Neb. Attendance could hit a record this year.
Check out the full FBN interview for more details, including more about Warren Buffett's succession and how his involvement with the recent Coca-Cola (KO) compensation package put him in an awkward position.

History was made on the eve of Friday, October 25, 2013. Jennifer Johnson Cano made her Carnegie Hall recital debut in Weill Hall with her husband Christopher Cano at the piano. In a program of French, German, English and Russian, they delighted, wowed, and stunned us with great theatricality and profound musicianship by pulling out all the stops, and sparing no vocal trick. And even came back with two well deserved encores.
Ms. Cano opened with a set of Korngold pieces; a rare but beautiful find in a vocal recital. In the final chord "Das eilend Bächlein, Op. 27, No. 2," Ms. Cano's voice resonated throughout the hall with a shimmering brilliance that took ones breath away. Her sound had a splendid mixture of rich, clear tones, but was able to put some dark weightiness to it without harshening the voice, making it flexible and easy to move through her registers.
Her second set was of Francis Poulenc's Banalités. In this set, she showed how great of a story teller she is. A feat few singers her age accomplish so quickly. In Poulenc's "Hôtel," she conveyed the delicate, soft nature of her voice with gorgeous pianissimos.
They ended the first portion of the program with a "spooky song set" of Franz Schubert, Der Tod und das Mädchen. Again she was able to portray her story telling skills by switching seamlessly between characters in the cycle about fear and death. But this would prove to be a mere sample of the theatrical prowess she possesses.
The second half gave us songs by Ivor Gurney, Benjamin Britten, and Herbert Howells. But she chose the best for last in this set. She ended with Vaughan Williams' "Silent Noon." This was a perfect example of how a singer makes the song her own. At the end when she sang, "when twofold silence was the song of love," she held and buzzed the "ng" of "song" rather than singing the vowel all the way through, then flouted down to end the phrase. The effect was magic and came straight from her heart.
Mr. Cano got a chance to shine with his own solo of Mikhail Glinka's "The Lark" right before her final set of Russian songs. One cannot help but make the comparison between these two and the famous husband and wife pairing of Sutherland and Bonynge. One would also be putting them in the right class.
In her Russian set, she gave us chills in her dramatic interpretation of Georgy Sviridov's "The Virgin in the City." As the chords churned and the text delve deeper into the story, Ms. Cano's performance became darker and more thrilling. She kept one on the edge of ones seat as the piece drew to its climax. The music and her poetry in the text just broke your heart. It was a perfect song choice for her, but then again, the entire evening was filled with moments like this. Moments of raw, unabashed artistic expression.
At the end of the day, all any of this is about connecting. Taking simple dots on lines and communicating from a single person, or persons, to a group of people sitting in the dark. Simple in concept yet marvelously gratifying when executed properly. Mr and Ms. Cano not only communicated, but they touched our souls with their music. During her final encore of "Go 'way From My Window" by John Jacob Niles, she looked as though she was about to burst with genuine tears. Perhaps because she was overcome with emotion by the reception we had given her, but a real moment nevertheless. This was how recitals should be sung: gripping, communicative, and spellbinding.
This young mezzo is bound to be a star, and we were lucky to have caught her at the beginning of her ascent to the realm of ethereal celebrity. She will be singing again in New York at the Met later this season. Do not, I repeat, do not miss your chance to see her.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Louisville company has agreed to pay a $330,000 penalty for violating air pollution standards.
The Courier-Journal reports Eckart America, which is a pigment-manufacturing plant, agreed on Wednesday to the levy, which is in addition to a $668,250 fine the company agreed to pay in 2011.
Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District spokesman Thomas Nord says the second settlement stems from the same violations as the first, but is another level of enforcement based upon an analysis of economic benefit.
The plant's general manager, Mark Westwell, says the company "never, ever intended" to violate air-quality standards and now has new management and a new team focused on compliance.
Nord says the plant is currently in compliance with the district.

Prez Obama: HRC Speech
Posted by Native NYker in barack obama, bill clinton, cnn, hrc, human rights campaign, monica lewinsky, polictics, president clinton, president obama, shepard bill, washington dc on October 11, 2009
President Obama attended and rendered a moving speech at this years HRC dinner where he announced that the Shepard Bill will finally be signed into law.
This has been a long time coming and long ass overdue!
But like our good Prez says, it may not happen as quick as we'd like but it does happen – and in this direction we head.
I get all tingly hearing Hot Chocolate speak about this stuff.
Now I truly understand the attraction Lewinsky had for Clinton and where it stemmed from!


text: When someone mentions a "green" laundry, what comes to mind? Some believe that a green laundry offers the most energy-efficient washers and dryers. Some believe that a green laundry utilizes nontraditional industry equipment, such as solar panels, water-reuse equipment, etc.Whatever your definition of a green laundry is, here's another question to ponder: How green is the self-service laundry industry? We posed that question, and others, to distributors from across the country.SOLAR SHOULD SOAR IN ARIZONAIf you are reducing your utility costs, you are a green store, says Bob Ropp, Sunshine Sales, Glendale, Ariz. "They are just starting to talk about solar energy out here," Ropp says. "This should have been done 15 years ago, with all the sun we have here. Few people have an interest in [solar energy and other alternatives] because it's just too expensive; you can't recover the cost."Ropp says some of the operators are utilizing better cooling techniques and use simple things like window coverings. However, he estimates that only about 5% of the laundries could be considered energy-efficient.Like others, he believes that the economy has prevented operators from implementing solar solutions. In addition, store ownership affects solar decisions. "Landlords frown on putting solar panels on roofs. They just don't want anything to do with them."While some local government energy incentives are available in his area, it's hard to find them, he insists. "I called the city about [these incentives] and criticized it for not advertising [the incentives] more. But the city just shies away from doing this. It's like they have it, but they aren't going to tell you about it!"If the economy improves a bit, Ropp believes there will be a bump in energy-efficient equipment sales. "The greenest equipment is the most expensive equipment, but if you use it, your utility costs can come down to 15-16%."In the future, the self-service laundry industry will be referred to as a green industry, he predicts. "The equipment already exists; people just need to purchase it. If they purchase it, it will, in a short time, pay for itself. Some owners just can't figure this out. If utilities shoot up more, things will change."Ropp would market the green aspects of a laundry if he owned one, but area demographics would ultimately determine the success of such a marketing campaign."The younger generation is tuned into the green efficiency ratings. The older people don't really care."TOP LOADERS STILL A HITGreen stores are environmentally friendly stores, says Dale Ring, Clean Source Service Co., Broken Arrow, Okla. "There aren't a lot of stores in my area that meet this definition; maybe 10% have green equipment. There is still great top-loader usage in this area."Cost is a major factor when it comes to being more efficient. "I have put some high-efficiency units in Laundromats, but for the most part, especially in smaller communities with the grannies, they [prefer top loaders]."On a scale of 1-10, Ring rates his community a 2.5 on the green factor. The government has yet to impose green rules and regulations on stores in his area, although there is an extremely high tap fee for laundries in Broken Arrow, he says."In the future, way down the line, the West Coast will have a green laundry industry. It won't happen in this market."Based on that prediction, he isn't a big advocate of green marketing. "I don't think there is value in marketing a green laundry here. This is a fast-paced world; people really want to get in and out of a store. Green is nice, but so what?"COMPETITION BOOSTS GREEN MOVEMENTEven though he hasn't run across a solar-powered store, people have been talking about using solar power to heat wash water, says Rod Malcolm, Century Laundry Distributing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.As to what makes a store green, that is debatable, Malcolm believes. "When you define efficient washers and dryers, where do you draw the line? Do you compare top loaders to front loaders? You can achieve efficiency through high extraction. Water consumption also plays a role with efficiency."I believe it will always take a certain amount of water with mechanical action to get clothes cleaned. From an efficiency standpoint, when you have high-extract 200-G or more, that is when you really start to see efficiency benefits."Malcolm believes about 20% of the stores in his area have some high-efficiency equipment. The cost of such equipment, as well as the newness of it, has kept most stores from going the efficient route. "Even some of the dealers don't have a lot of experience with some of this new, efficient stuff. It's hard to convince owners to buy this, if we don't know much about it."The recession isn't the only reason that people aren't buying more efficient equipment, he says. "In this part of the country, business may be off a bit, but the utilities have also come down. We're finding that the laundry owners haven't suffered as much as the drycleaners. The sales numbers may be down, but saving on utilities has made it a wash for a majority of the operators."The green feeling in Malcolm's community is about a 5 on a scale of 1-10, he says. He's not worried about any upcoming legislation forcing small businesses to go green. "People still have to do their laundry, and this will always require water. However, [efficiency] regulations may come down the line."What he is sure of is that the self-service laundry will become green in the future. "Absolutely, it will be green. Small businesses are driven by competition. The coin laundry industry's No. 1 expense is utilities, unlike other businesses, where labor costs rule. The more efficient some operators become, the more competitive the industry will become. This pushes the entire industry to becoming green."Marketing green in the Midwest has moderate value, he opines. "Location is the big thing with marketing. Marketing green in California would be huge."Click here for Part 1 of this story.Come back next week for Part 3!

Shells allow faculty to develop their course materials by adding content and customizing Blackboard well in advance for upcoming courses. Shells also allow faculty to retain course materials in Blackboard after Courses are deleted (generally after 13 months). Shells can not be made available to students, and student enrollments are not added to Shells. If a Shell is made available, it will revert to being unavailable the next day. When the course is taught, a separate Course will then need to be requested to allow students access. Materials can then be copied from the Shell to the Course using the steps at http://blackboard.niu.edu/blackboard/build/migration/copy.shtml.
Learn more about requesting shells by watching the tutorial at http://blackboard.niu.edu/blackboard/tutorials/requestshell.shtml
Learn more about requesting courses at http://blackboard.niu.edu/blackboard/start/request.shtml.
A Shell allows faculty to add content and customize Blackboard before a Course can be requested, but cannot be used for teaching students. Shells are never deleted from Blackboard.
A Course can be requested midway through the semester prior to the on in which the course will be offered (request in mid-fall for spring courses and mid-spring for summer and fall courses) and automatically includes students based on enrollments in MyNIU. Courses can be made available to students. Courses are routinely deleted from Blackboard, generally 13 months after the course ends. It is necessary to request a Blackboard Course from DoIT each semester.
To differentiate between a Shell and a Course, look at the Course ID. The ID for a Shell will start with SHELL, whereas Courses will start with the year the course is taught. do not.

Blacks with rheumatoid arthritis are only half as likely to be prescribed more effective drugs that may prevent further joint damage and disability, according to a new study published in the journal Arthritis Care & Research.
Like what you're reading? Then LIKE us on Facebook!
For the study, researchers surveyed 5,385 rheumatoid arthritis Medicaid patients between ages 50 and 70 in California who were being treated with at least one anti-rheumatic drug between 1998 and 2005. Scientists reviewed participants' records to identify any differences in the way patients from different racial and ethnic groups were being prescribed anti-arthritis medication, despite similar income level and arthritis severity.
In addition, researchers determined if patients were prescribed the more potent, biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), or the less powerful standard DMARDs.

The LA Galaxy lost to the MLS defending champions Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park, Kansas City's home, on Saturday afternoon. The Galaxy almost made a comeback after being down 2-0 but fell short of a goal to tie the game.
As reported, Kansas City took the lead with two goals. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber scored in the 10th from a free kick. Feilhaber's goal was definitely the goal of the match, as the midfielder kick the ball over the Galaxy wall and into the corner where goalkeeper Jaime Penedo jumped but could not reach.
The second goal scored for Sporting Kansas City came in the 61st minute when Lawrence Olum picked up a loose ball bouncing around the Galaxy penalty box after a corner kick. This goal turned out to be the victory goal for the defending champions.
The LA Galaxy were very persistent and never gave up. In the 79th minute, Irish forward Robbie Keane led a comeback for the Angeleno team in scored a goal. The comeback for the Galaxy persisted but the tying goal never came around. The final score ended up as 2-1 in favor of Kansas City.
In the end, the Galaxy could have had a five league-game undefeated streak if they would have tied or beaten Sporting. On the other hand, Kansas City kept their unbeaten streak alive when defeating the Galaxy on Saturday with a record of 7-0-1.
With the loss to Sporting Kansas City, the Galaxy is now in fourth place of the Western Conference of the MLS. Kansas City remains at the top of the Eastern Conference .
The LA Galaxy is now set to face English club team Manchester United on Wednesday at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA. This game will be a history game in which the two team are facing each other for the first time ever.

In total, The D-Fenders shot 48.9 percent from the field in the half and tallied 18 assists on their 22 field goals.

The fourth period featured three lead changes and four ties and ended up coming down to the final possession where Bakersfield's Brian Butch hit a lay-up in the waning seconds to shut down the D-Fenders.

Making an e-Vest (electronic vest)
Added Jun 1, 2010
by gedwoods
Quebec, Canada
Step 7
Normally, you would do this by sewing the shoulder seams of the vest together, then the sides of the vest under the arms. Proceed to sew the lining together in the same order. Now put the lining right side against the outer fabric right side, and sew the two together at the neck and armholes. I also sew the hem seam joining the front piece to the lining, but leave the seam between the back piece and the lining open. Press the seams open. Now pull the two layers through the opening left between the back piece and the lining, You now have a vest that is almost completed. We will leave the back hem open, as we will install all the electronics through this opening.

on 2 of my save games, they have both stopped loading and i don't know why. I haven't used FMM or anything like that so i dunno why it keeps coming up with "Save could not be loaded".
any ideas?
on 2 of my save games, they have both stopped loading and i don't know why. I haven't used FMM or anything like that so i dunno why it keeps coming up with "Save could not be loaded".
any ideas?
actually, all of my saved games aren't working now
sounds like theyre corrupt... no error messages apart from them??
i get messages saying "not well formed (invalid token) at line 1 of profile1.xml
that shouldnt affect it, you should still be able to load the game... do you have any back-ups of the saves to use?? if not, recommend you go into preferences, and change the saving preference to "3 file rolling autosave" that way, at least if one of em dies, you still have 2 back-ups of your game to go back to...
nah i don't have any backups
okay then, i'll try what you said, thanks for the help
no worries.. it does unfortunately sound as though your other games are corrupt though, hope ya werent too far into em!
on one of them i was but oh well
Have you recently gone back to an older patch?
It sounds wierd that all your saves are doing it.
Check your hard drive for errors and defrag.
Something is up if they're all failing. The chance of that being either the hdd or a random corruption are infinitesimal. If it were the HDD, you'd have other problems if so many different files were dying. If it were random corruption you're multiplying small percentages here...
How much space is left on the drive? Could it be that simple? New antivirus program? New windows up-bloat? I mean update? I'm guessing that the files are fine, but can't load properly for some other reason.
Learn with mer and backup the saved games. It happen the same to me
So from now on, always backup games
i dunno what it is tbh so i just deleted all my saved games
i'm backing up my new save tho so it should be okay

Joel McHale might be a celebrity, but the man is a huge Seattle Seahawks fan, and he was prepared to share his view on "The Ellen Show" on Thursday morning. The entertainer talked about how excited he is that this team has made it to the Super Bowl and what it means for his support. Joel joked about the deal he made with God so the Seattle Seahawks will win, but he wasn't kidding when he said he was going to the Super Bowl to watch the game live.
"I love the Seahawks and it is hard for me to sit still and watch the games," said Joel McHale on The Ellen Show. When asked about the game between the Seahawks and the 49ers, the star admitted it wasn't easy to watch. "It was more stressful than being awake than surgery."
Everyone can't be too surprised that the star will be heading to the big game to watch the Seattle Seahawks. The star probably has cleared his schedule and done everything necessary to be ready for the big game.
So far Joel McHale is the biggest star in Hollywood that has professed his support for the Seattle NFL team. There could be more folks who are thinking the Seahawks should win, but at the moment the star is one of the first who publicly supports the teams Super Bowl run!
Take a look at the video clip of Joel McHale talking about his beloved Seattle Seahawks. He looks stressed even talking about the team's journey!

SEATTLE -- Washington (10-3, 2-0 Pac-12) used a big surge to begin the second half, building a lead and eventually defeating Arizona (9-5, 1-1 Pac-12), 76-65. The win moved the Huskies to 2-0 in Pac-12 play for the first time since 2006-07.
The Dawgs got a career-best 20 points and 13 rebounds from Talia Walton as she continued to show she is an emerging star. The redshirt freshman put the ball on the floor and scored on pull-up jump shots, when Arizona ran at her to take away the three.
Meanwhile, Kristi Kingma completed a great weekend shooting the ball, making four more threes and finishing with 18 points.
"Talia was really good on offense," said head coach Kevin McGuff. "I think Kristi had a great weekend overall. She was great on offense and today she was really great on the glass, too. It's great to see that because I think we're the best when we have balance in our scoring."
The Dawgs certainly were balanced as Jazmine Davis finished with 20 points despite battling the flu and getting sick both before the game and at halftime. Mercedes Wetmore added 10 points and Aminah Williams had eight to go with a career-high tying 17 rebounds.
Washington led by six at halftime, but began the second half with a 22-5 run to build a 23-point lead. Kingma started the half with a pair of 3-pointers, two of her four in the game. From there, the Dawgs pushed the ball, breaking the Arizona press and moving the ball to find layups and open threes.
As well as Washington played to build the lead, the Dawgs began to look sloppy and watch things unravel. Arizona continued to press and create turnovers as Washington appeared to lost concentration.
The Wildcats took advantage, closing to within four, before Davis made a jumper and Dawgs clinched the win with free throws. Kingma made six-straight from the charity stripe to seal another big conference win.
"For awhile we handled the press great because we shot wide open layups and open threes," said McGuff. "I think more than anything we lost concentration and to their credit, we had a couple of turnovers and they turned up the energy and really made us pay."
The Dawgs shot 38.8 percent for the game, but outrebounded a bigger Arizona team, 49-40.
Next up for the Huskies will be a trip to Los Angeles to take on USC and UCLA. The Dawgs gets USC on Friday at 6 p.m., before heading to Pauley Pavilion to face the No. 16 Bruins on Sunday at 2 p.m. Both L.A. schools also have started conference play 2-0.

Richard Price Named CEO of Chicago Sun-Times Parent Co.
Monday, March 21, 2011
Richard Price (pictured), president and chief operating officer of Chicago Sun-Times parent Mesirow Financial Holdings, was elevated to chairman/CEO on March 17. Announcement by Mesirow's board of directors followed the March 16 death of corporate chairman/CEO (since 1994) James Tyree due to complications from stomach cancer.
Tyree was credited for saving the Sun-Times in October 2009. Newspaper had been owned since 1994 by the Conrad Black-led Hollinger International. Black's 2007 conviction for embezzling $6.1 million from Hollinger for personal use (he was released in July 2010) led to the newspaper filing for bankruptcy in March 2009. Mesirow, through Tyree, paid $25 million--most of which was to pay off past debts--and the newspaper continues to publish.
Price and Tyree had worked together at Mesirow for 30 years, and no change is expected in the direction of the company or of the Sun-Times.

Ryan Eibner
Oct. 27, 2013
GREENVILLE, N.C. - The fall portion of the 2013-14 season draws to a close this week with the East Carolina men's golf team hosting the Pirate Intercollegiate at the Brook Valley Course at Greenville Country Club on Oct. 28-29. It's the first time ECU has hosted a tournament locally since 2009.
Over the course of two days, nine teams and 12 individuals will play 54 holes on the par-71, 6,656-yard course. The first two rounds of competition will be played Monday with shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. The tournament will then conclude Tuesday with tee times slated for 8 a.m.
In addition to the host Pirates, the field includes Barton, George Washington, Lipscomb, Navy, N.C. Central, Presbyterian and Towson. Four individuals from Charlotte and Duke will also be competing.
ECU's lineup will consist of seniors Ryan Eibner and Eric Brady along with sophomores Al Dickens, Wes Conover and George Kilgore. The Pirates will also field a `B' team with Stephen Lavenets, Jacob Hicks, Josh Chandler and Clay Brown.
The Pirates are returning to the links for the first time since finishing seventh at the Rod Myers Intercollegiate at the Duke Golf Club on Oct. 13. Brady posted the team's only top 10 finish of the season with a seventh-place finish at the event and was named Conference USA Golfer-of-the-Week for his performance.

On a radio broadcast on Monday, conservative pundit and talk show host Glenn Beck along with his co-hosts went on a segment long rant about politicians who are suddenly announcing their support for gay marriage after opposing it in the past. According to Right Wing Watch, Beck's main target was former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who he said only voiced her support once it became popular to do so.
Beck said that Clinton came out in support of same-sex marriage because of a change in public opinion and that she didn't have the guts to do so before. He called politicians such as Clinton "disgusting" after saying, "you're saying this is the civil rights issue of our day, and you were such a coward you couldn't do it until Hollywood changed everybody's mind."
Clinton came out in support of gay marriage back in March 2013 signaling she was strongly considering a 2016 presidential run. It was believed then that Clinton public support of an issue that her Democratic rivals already endorsed would help her chances. Beck took it a lot further suggesting that Clinton would not only change her mind when it came to public opinion, but would also change her sexuality basically saying that Clinton would turn lesbian if she thought it would help her chances of winning the 2016 presidential election.
"I'm telling you, Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman on the White House desk if it becomes popular," Beck said. "She'll be like, look, the arc of history wasn't ready for a president to be lesbian and have sex on the desk."
Although a bit extreme, it isn't the first time Clinton's sexuality has been referenced. Back in September, anti-gay radio host Bryan Fischer stated that she could "be our first lesbian president." This came on the heels of a claim by Bill Clinton's ex-mistress, Gennifer Flowers, that Bill told her that Hillary was bisexual.

A year later, the title of this article remains more true than ever. Note the number of attempted or threatened school shootings in January of 2014 alone as evidence: eleven active shootings, resulting in two deaths and eleven injuries. There were several close calls in the month as well, where tragedy was averted. But if you need something more concrete, look at the case of the seventh grader in a New Mexico school who injured two classmates before a teacher bravely stood in his way and talked him down. In light of the continued, possibly increasing trend of violence in schools, it seems appropriate to re-post this article.
According to a 2007 study by the Manhattan Institute analyzing teacher pay, teachers are "making a killing."
Perhaps what they meant to say was, "Teachers are willing to die."
Jon Stewart ironically questioned, "When will America's teachers follow the lead of Wall Street and start making some sacrifices for the children" on The Daily Show in March of 2011 - a question that rings a sour note in the wake of the December tragedy in Connecticut.
Sarcasm aside, his remark brings to light a painful question that no one wants to face these days. Teachers have long been the targets of blame for student performance - academic, behavioral, societal - all the while taking on the responsibilities of parents, mentors, coaches, counselors, even security officers. Yet their pay remains on par with the "para-professional," rather than commensurate with their peers with post-bachelors degrees, specialized training, and the care and welfare of our nation's next generation. No, on the contrary, due to that break in their work year called summer vacation and other breaks that coincide with major holidays, teachers are seen as glorified babysitters.
Tracy Byrnes, Fox News Business Commentator, called Wall Street bankers, "These poor people" on television in March of 2009, defending their rights to be paid contractual bonuses after government bailout because "that money is spent long before the check comes in the mail." Her sympathy does not transfer to the education sector, apparently. In another Fox TV broadcast, Byrnes referred to the teachers involved in the the February 2011 protests in Wisconsin over Governor Walker's proposed changes to union's bargaining power by claiming, "You knew this was happening, they all knew this was going to come to a head and I think it shows a poor example to the children that these people are out there fighting for things that they quite frankly don't deserve. They too need to make concessions."
Today, in Kern County, California, one teacher made a serious concession - he talked down a gunman and stopped him from shooting the next target in his classroom. That teacher took a graze wound in the process, but prevented further tragedy at the school.
Patti Nielsen and William Sanders are testaments to teachers who did what they had to do for their students at Columbine High; one survived and the other died for their dedication to their jobs.
And just four weeks ago in Connecticut, six teachers and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary made the ultimate sacrifice for their students.
So when the nation's pundits talk about what is wrong with our schools, or how much money is being wasted on teacher pay, perhaps the conversation should include a consideration for the new norm in America's classrooms.
That new norm seems to include life-threatening situations and a proposal to bear arms for self-defense and the defense of children in their care.
Perhaps it's time to stop nickel-and-diming teachers and award them hazard pay.

But, also, there are other things to do. Hood River Valley is also an apple, pear, cherry paradise. Get yourself going south toward Mt.Hood and you'll run into all kinds of fruit farms. The weather conditions for growing quality fruit is superb. The scenery phenomenal!
The Valley is well worth visiting! If nothing else, take the Mt.Hood train from Hood River to Parkdale and back again...a cool trip. Make sure you find the ice cream place on the main drag in Parkdale. They make you up an ice cream cone that won't wait and price is ridiculously low.
Did I talk about all kinds of cool wineries to visit in Hood River...cool places to eat with gorgeous views? And, cool gift shops all over the place.
In Hood River we ate at the "Trilliam Cafe" on the main drag, downtown. My wife had Mac & Cheese and I had the Tuna Fish and Chips...very tasty...good place to go.
The place we normally go to eat when we visit is the Sixth Street Bistro. You can sit outside, catch a super nice view and enjoy scrumptious food.
You can't really see Mt. Hood from downtown Hood River. You have to get up on the upper part...and, I do mean there are some hills to go up!
A must place to visit is the Apple Valley Country Store, south of town. On your way visit the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum (WAAAM) on top-of-the hill. It's a ways out. A marvelous place to take the whole family. Here are a couple of posts I have made in case you missed them: Vintage Airplanes (link) and Collector Cars At WAAAM (link).
