College Hockey:Ferris State has 'more of an effort' in dropping Ohio State
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — After the second hard-fought game in as many nights, it was Ferris State taking a 3-1 victory over Ohio State to salvage a weekend split.
"After seeing Ohio State play, we're proud of a split [because] they're a good team," said Ferris State coach Bob Daniels. "I have a feeling a seven-game series with Ohio State would go all seven games and into overtime. The teams are so even."
With two closely matched teams, it can often come down to who scores first.
"They had a better start than us," Ohio State coach Mark Osiecki said. "That really set the tone of the game."
After giving up two first-period goals in Friday night's game, Saturday's game was a mirror image that saw Ferris State quickly take a two-goal lead.
After killing an early penalty, the Bulldogs got on the board with a rebound goal from Travis Ouellette.
Then just 32 seconds later, Dakota Klecha put Ferris State up by two goals. Justin Buzzeo pulled a faceoff right to Klecha, who fanned on his first attempt before slipping his second try past OSU goalie Brady Hjelle.
"We didn't play a whole lot different than we did last night, but we made more of an effort in the first period," said Daniels
The second period saw Ohio State gain some momentum, but great plays from goaltender C.J. Motte and the Bulldogs' defense held the Buckeyes scoreless heading into the final frame.
The Buckeyes continued to press in the third period and were finally rewarded with a goal from Max McCormick, who picked up a rebound and slipped it past Motte.
"I was disappointed with our play in the first nine to 11 minutes of the third period," said Daniels. "We were out there trying a milk a two-goal lead."
Despite the weekend split, Ferris State was held scoreless on the power play by Ohio State.
"I'd panic if it wasn't for the fact that we were moving the puck around and their goalie is pretty dang good," said Daniels.
Offsetting the power-play performance for the Bulldogs was their play on the penalty kill, which was perfect on the weekend.
"Our penalty killers were real strong," Motte said. "They blocked a lot of shots and didn't really allow them to set up."
Osiecki agreed saying, "We've got to be better on the power play – they had a great penalty kill."

Excuse my ignorance on the subject of coal transport but the issues these people use who are against it happening in our local area confuse me.
Anyone who has flown into Los Angeles and seen that smog is also as confused as the people who think coal transportation has any effect on that city. From my understanding, the worst days in the L.A. smog is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
On the other hand, those hard-working coal miners, whose job and revenue depend on that coal they excavated at the risk of black lung and loss of life so they can pay their bills so as not to be the "47 percent," are heroes in my book.
To the people who think that a train transporting coal that is uncovered is going to be a health risk, they should worry about me. My truck is an 1980s model Dodge and is at this time without a catalytic converter.

One of the most dire issues facing the environment in recent years is the rapid decline of bee populations. Pollinators are some of the most important organisms in any ecosystem, as it is their responsibility to cross-pollinate different plants thereby increasing genetic diversity in a community. If a species suffers from too little genetic variation it will eventually result in the species' demise. This can be seen around the world today in many different plant and animal species, for example the Javan Rhinoceros, which has an estimated population of fewer than sixty individuals.
There are many species of pollinators other than insects that vary greatly from birds, such as hummingbirds, honeyeaters and sunbirds, to mammals such as monkeys, lemurs, possums, bats and rodents to even various species of lizards. However, bees remain perhaps the most widely recognized pollinating species and they have finally become the latest target of the Obama Administration's more aggressive approach to environmental standards and expectations.
Obama released a memorandum this week calling for "a federal strategy to promote the health of honeybees and other pollinators". He goes on to state that pollinators are a vital source to the agricultural economy of the country, as they add more than $15 billion in crop revenue annually. Environmental stressors that have been implicated in the rapid decline of bees, butterflies and other pollinators include poor bee nutrition, lack of land to forage, parasites, pathogens, lack of genetic diversity and the ever-increasing use of pesticides.
It is the objective of this memorandum to issue a task force that will address the multitude of severe environmental concerns plaguing this country. The task force must develop a National Pollinator Health Strategy within 180 days of the issued memorandum. The organization should outline explicit goals, including increasing and improving pollinator habitat, educate the public and continue to research the remaining bee populations.

The love affair between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is giving hope to a lot of young people that there can be more to life than drugs, alcohol, and quick sex with no emotional attachments. This couple is showing if it's really love you are searching for, well it may be out there if you just keep trying. Bieber has confirmed a reconciliation with Gomez, reports Radar Online on Jan. 4, 2014.
It appears the two superstars could not forget their time together and their deep feelings for each other. They have been seen back together again, looking more affectionate than ever. Bieber confirmed he and Selena are spending time with each other again in a very moving romantic photo with the tweet, "Love the way you look at me." In the photo Gomez has her arms around Bieber with a smile on her face.
Gomez recently suddenly cancelled the remainder of her "Stars Dance" tour and told fans she needs some "me time," reports Radar Online. Soon thereafter she was seen hanging out with her old boyfriend, Bieber. The couple has been photographed in the Oaks neighborhood in Calabasas, California, where Bieber lives, having some fun riding Segway scooters together.
There have been reports Gomez has been fighting lupus and needed time to simply take it easy on herself. Her apparent emotional turmoil over her breakup with Bieber seems to have been making her feel even worse. Clearly, at a time when Selena needed support the most she seems to be finding out Bieber is not going to let her down.
Although a lot of love affairs end up in ashes these days, who knows, in this case it appears Gomez and Bieber might even make a good married couple if that's the way they decide to take things together. Their feelings for each other after all clearly come from the heart. It's really nice to see this young couple helping each other out in life. It gives you faith in the capacity of human feelings.

Panama City Beach -- It must have been a rocky Easter for one boater, whose boat was spotted washing up against the jetties on the Shell Island side of the St. Andrews pass leading to Port Panama City.
Coast Guard officials say they're aware of the situation, and were still working to free the boat on Monday morning. Other than that, they say the investigation is ongoing, and would not release further details.
Workers with Sea Tow, a marine assistance organization, say they were alerted of the wrecked boat on Saturday, but the boat owner refused their service, opting to try to free the boat himself, unsuccessfully, on Sunday.
While few details are known so far about the unlucky boater (please feel free to leave a comment if you know what happened!), the single outboard engine powered center-console boat may have broken free from its anchor in moderately choppy conditions Easter Sunday. A passing boat captain snapped this shot with his camera phone and sent it to us, showing the boat washing against the jetties, as boat debris can be seen higher up on the rocks. In close up views of the photo, you can see that a large chunk is missing from the boat's port side.

Markins Q3 ball head help - main locking knob is loose?

Markins Q3 ball head help - main locking knob is loose?
Anyone else here had experience with a Markins head? Perhaps you can help me.
Recently got the Q3. When the ball locking knob (the main knob) is tightened to lock the head rigid, the knob itself is slightly loose, with about 5-10 degrees of slippage when turning it in the opposite direction before it has any effect.
No big deal I guess, just seemed a bit odd and I'm a bit concerned that an internal set-screw or the like hasn't been tightened properly.
So is this normal or should I see about getting it fixed?

The Tempest
by William Shakespeare
Gonzalo Timeline and Summary
- 1.1: Gonzalo's first lines in the play, "Nay, good, be patient," said in the midst of cursing sailors and thunderous skies give us a good sense of what kind of guy he is.
- 1.1: In the disastrous storm, Gonzalo tries to have some good cheer, even if it's a bit morbid.
- 1.1: Gonzalo calls for everyone to assist the King and the Prince in praying—a last-ditch effort at saving the boat.
- 2.1: Gonzalo urges everyone, including the mourning King, to count their blessings, as this is the common woe of anyone who takes to sea.
- 2.1: Gonzalo comments on how hospitable the island seems to him, so green and fitted for life.
- 2.1: Gonzalo, again on the sunny side, prattles on about the other bits of luck they've had. Their clothes are all nice and new, even though they've been through a tempest. (Shockingly, this doesn't do much for anyone; as they're stranded on a desert island and looking for a dead prince, their clothes are at best priority #2).
- 2.1: Gonzalo trips here. After being battered down by Antonio and Sebastian's punning, he finally gets back to his point about the new clothes, which they wore to see Alonso's daughter married. This makes the King sad again, thinking about his daughter's marriage to the King of Tunis, which was the source of this trip and their woes.
- 2.1: Gonzalo chides Sebastian for being so harsh as to blame the King. He doesn't insist that either party is right, just that Sebastian should be more gentle. He tells the King they all suffer when he suffers, and is teased with more "fowl" punning by Sebastian and Antonio.
- 2.1: Gonzalo describes his version of an ideal kingdom: there would be no trade in money, no politicians, no schools, no rich or poor, no slavery, no inheritance, no dividing up the land, no metal, corn, wine or oil (things needing careful cultivation and work), and no occupation of any kind—just idle, wholesome, idyllic men and women living happily. His people would live off of the bounty of everything nature brings forth on her own, and he would govern to excel the golden age.
- 2.1: Gonzalo braves the indignity of Sebastian and Antonio's mockery, saying that, if he is nothing, let them laugh at nothing still.
- 2.1: Gonzalo awakes with a cry for "good angels preserve the King!" He was woken up by the hum of Ariel in his ear, telling him to watch these two for treachery, and he discovers Sebastian and Antonio with their weapons drawn. If he suspects anything, he doesn't say so, and says only that he hopes the heavens will protect the Prince from these beasts (meaning either the lions Sebastian and Antonio claimed to have heard, or Sebastian and Antonio themselves).
- 3.3: Gonzalo calls out at the marvelous music, and then asks whether anyone in Naples would believe him if he reported the wonders he now sees as the spirits lay out a banquet. Always eager to note good, he comments that the spirits' manners are better than most humans'.
- 3.3: Gonzalo assures the King that wonders never do cease—he should not be afraid of this banquet, and instead think of all the wonders he would've denied as a child and has since seen are real.
- 3.3: After seeing Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio fixed by fright, Gonzalo realizes they have guilt working on them like a slow poison. Rather than condemn them, he demands his fellow attendants to follow the three entranced men to stop them from any acts that they might be inspired to perform in this strange state of bewilderment.
- 5.1: Gonzalo notes that all wonders, good and bad, inhabit this island, and appeals to a heavenly power to guide them out of this seemingly Godforsaken land.
- 5.1: Gonzalo humbly ducks Prospero's praise of his honor, saying he can neither confirm nor deny it.
- 5.1: On hearing of Miranda and Ferdinand's happy union, Gonzalo thanks the heavens, and praises Heaven specifically for making these unhappy turns become happy accidents.
- 5.1: Gonzalo again praises their strange fate; he sees that all of this was clearly aligned by some power, as only good has come of all the bad that led up to this point.
- 5.1: Gonzalo has a hearty "Amen!" for Ferdinand and Miranda as a couple and then rejoices at seeing the Boatswain, alive and well.

Mayor Dennis Hanwell will stress the ways the city has been working to make Medina a great place to do business during his State of the City address today.
Hanwell said he will detail how the city has appropriated $13 million worth of industrial infrastructure improvements from 2011 through 2015, but declined to provide specifics until the presentation.
The mayor will deliver the address to the Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce today during its monthly meeting at Weymouth Country Club, 3946 Weymouth Road, at 11:30 a.m.
Hanwell said the address is an opportunity for him to connect with business owners on a personal level.
"It is important for me to get their perspective," he said. "These people are running successful businesses, so their input is usually right on the spot."
Hanwell said he will touch on many other topics during his presentation, including two $300,000 grants from the state to beautify Public Square and repave Foundry Street.
"(The presentation) will show how we were able to position ourselves better than other communities in receiving those grants," he said.
The speech also will give a detailed overview of how the city has been maintaining its finances and operations, with a specific emphasis on local businesses, the mayor said.
"I will talk about the positive things that are going on and collaborations with organizations that are placing the city in a better position, with examples of how that is happening," he said.
Hanwell gave a less detailed version of his State of the City presentation to City Council last week.
The mayor said he is looking forward to getting feedback from chamber members.
"I want to ask them, 'Are there things that we need to tweak and expand on?' " he said. "I use the speech to show that we do the best we can do."
Tickets are $18 for chamber members and $21 for future members. To register for the event, visit www.medinaohchamber.com.

State Senate Hothead Gets Three Years' Probation
And, thank God, anger management.
As we suspected, Brooklyn state senator Kevin Parker did not get any jail time for his conviction on two misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief stemming from a 2009 confrontation with a Post photographer. Instead, he'll serve three years of probation, pay a small fine, and undergo some much-needed anger management. [NBC New York]

Nov. 15, 1999
LOS ANGELES -- After competing against Pac-10 foes Arizona and Arizona State last weekend, the Bruin women's diving team returns to action this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, participating in the Trojan Diving Invitational at USC. Trials are at 10 a.m. each day, while finals will take place at 1 p.m. The UCLA women's swimmers will take two weekends off before returning to action with a split squad traveling to the Speedo Cup, Texas Invitational and Chris Vonk Invitational.
Sun Devils Post One-Point Win over 12th-ranked Bruins.
In the team's first conference action of the 1999-2000 season, the No. 12 Bruin women's swimming and diving team lost a squeaker to Arizona State last Friday, an event contested in meters. UCLA's Keiko Price was the team's only swimmer to earn individual victories, taking the 50 Freestyle in 25.87, and the 100 Free in 56.36. The Bruin 400 Medley Relay team also earned an event victory, finishing in 4:10.53.
Several Bruins narrowly missed event titles, with Nicole Beck finishing with a 2:16.69 in the 200 Back compared to a 2:15.90 winning time. Similarly, Erin Zehntner was second in the 400 Free with a 4:17.96, where the winning time was 4:17.16.
Diving action for the dual meet was contested at Arizona, where Anne Baghramian won the 3-Meter with a score of 429.60.
Second-Ranked Arizona Defeats Bruins 186-122.
On Saturday, UCLA competed against the No. 2 Wildcat women's swimming and diving team in a short course, yards dual meet. Three Bruins won event titles on the day, as Price led the way once again, winning the 50 Free (23.38) and 100 Free (50.65). Price's time in both events exceeds the NCAA's 'B-Standard' for short course yards. Junior Beth Goodwin was the second swimmer to earn an event title, winning the 100 Butterfly in a time of 55.35, which is also superior to the 'B-Standard' in that event.
Bruin divers also earned an event title, as freshman Regan Gosnell won the 1-meter competition with a score of 227.55 with teammate and fellow freshman Heidi Prosser just behind her at 224.50. Baghramian was UCLA's top finisher in the 3-meter, finishing second with a score of 429.60.
Meters vs. Yards
UCLA's swim meets this season will be conducted in either short course yards or short course meters formats, with one of each being contested this past weekend. The 2000 NCAA Championships will be contested on a short course, meters, and several Bruin dual meets will use this same format throughout the year. UCLA's Men's Gym Pool can be set up for either format, depending on the location of the bulkhead. All meet results for the 1999-2000 season will be designated as either meters or yards.

Medeski Martin & Wood: Bubblehouse
Medeski Martin & Wood
Shack Man (Gramavision GCD 79514)
John Medeski (organ), Billy Martin (drums, percussion), Chris Wood (bass, guitar).
Composed by Medeski Martin & Wood.
Recorded: Hawaii, June 1996
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
"Bubblehouse" is built on a very simple blues riff progression. We know that Medeski Martin & Wood are not going to leave things alone. That is not their way. The band plays the riff faster and faster and faster. A strong backbeat enters and the riff's speed continues to increase exponentially. Then as if the sound were connected to a knob, the tempo is dialed back. It ain't easy to do that without some seams showing. A drum break introduces a nasty funk of bass, drums and distorted and spacey organ. Distortion can be a very useful musical tool in the right hands. How can you not move to this stuff? Impossible, I say. The group eschews the main riff for a bit. But it eventually returns in all its simple grandeur, and the band plays it out as the tune's coda. The best improvising musicians build, destroy and rebuild. Or, in this case, blow a bubble, burst it and blow another.

Mori, M B; Gerber, U (2002). Slow feedback inhibition in the CA3 area of the rat hippocampus by synergistic synaptic activation of mGluR1 and mGluR5. Journal of Physiology, 554(3):793-799.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
Interneurons are critical in regulating the excitability of principal cells in neuronal circuits, thereby modulating the output of neuronal networks. We investigated synaptically evoked inhibitory responses in CA3 pyramidal cells mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) expressed somatodendritically by interneurons. Although pharmacological activation of mGluRs in interneurons has been shown to enhance their excitability, the inability to record mGluR-mediated synaptic responses has precluded detailed characterization of mGluR function in hippocampal interneurons. We found that a single extracellular pulse in CA3 stratum pyramidale was sufficient to induce disynaptic inhibitory responses mediated by postsynaptic mGluRs of the interneurons in CA3 pyramidal cells of hippocampal slice cultures. The disynaptic inhibitory response followed a short-latency monosynaptic inhibitory response, and was observed at stimulus intensities evoking half-maximal monosynaptic IPSCs. Synergistic activation of mGluR1 and mGluR5 was required to induce the full inhibitory response. When recordings were obtained from interneurons in CA3 stratum radiatum or stratum oriens, a single extracellular stimulus induced a slow inward cationic current with a time course corresponding to the slow inhibitory response measured in pyramidal cells. DCG IV, a group II mGluR agonist, which specifically blocks synaptic transmission through mossy fibres, had no effect on mGluR-mediated synaptic responses in interneurons, suggesting that feed-forward inhibition via mossy fibres is not involved. Thus, postsynaptic mGluR1 and mGluR5 in hippocampal interneurons cooperatively mediate slow feedback inhibition of CA3 pyramidal cells. This mechanism may allow interneurons to monitor activity levels from populations of neighbouring principal cells to adapt inhibitory tone to the state of the network.

Enabling and disabling services
By sch on Jul 26, 2004
I thought I would show a different example of
smf(5) today. Here's
the state of the
network/telnet service on my desktop:
# svcs -p network/telnet:default STATE STIME FMRI online Jul_23 svc:/network/telnet:default
It's easy to enable and disable service instances using
# svcadm disable network/telnet # svcs -p network/telnet:default STATE STIME FMRI disabled 13:08:15 svc:/network/telnet:default # telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
And we can enable it just as easily, too:
# svcadm enable network/telnet # svcs -p network/telnet:default STATE STIME FMRI online 13:08:29 svc:/network/telnet:default
Note that while something is declaring telnet service is available, no processes
are associated with the service instance. If we "
telnet localhost" from
another window, we can then see the telnet daemon and the login session:
# svcs -p network/telnet:default STATE STIME FMRI online 13:08:52 svc:/network/telnet:default 13:08:52 116400 in.telnetd 13:08:52 116403 login
Support for enabling and disabling services can be done by calling
smf_enable_instance(3SCF) and
in addition to the command line interface of
svcadm(1M). Since the framework relays the enable or disable request, we
don't need privileges to signal any process (or even know which process we might have to
signal to make the update...).

Before Woody Allen besmirched his good name (with bad behavior) he was known as a master filmmaker. Most fans and critics would say his best days belonged to the 70's. Films such as "Annie Hall" or "Manhattan", not only were they commercial hits and award ready but, a culture touchstone in wit, smarts and even in one case, lead actress Diane Keaton's fashion.
However, for my money I prefer his 80's movies. With a pretty awesome list of titles like "Broadway Danny Rose", "Hannah and her Sisters", "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and "Zelig". Allen, often as the neurotic star, featured terrific supporting casts, snappy dialogue and jazzy soundtracks that typified the renowned writer and his free-form style of filmmaking.
Well, why all this talk of Woody Allen you ask? Especially when you've come here to read about "Fading Gigolo". Well, Allen is in it (as a supporting actor) although it's actually director and lead actor John Turturro who channels the aforementioned celebrity. I wonder if he found one of Allen's old scripts ? Of course, recalling those astute Comedies of the time period I like the most, making a breezy little film that flits by with casual charm.
Opening this weekend in Pittsburgh theaters, "Fading Gigolo", finds Fioravante (Turturro) deciding to become a professional hustler as a way of earning cash to help his poor friend, Murray (Allen). With Murray acting as his manager, the pair quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love, money and a business like arrangement concerning a menage a trios involving a crazy duo of lesbians (Sharon Stone, Sofia Vergaro)
Often funny, sometimes moving, occasionally goofy as hell. This Turturro vehicle is driven by solid acting, considerable talent and likable characters. A postcard to the big apple, a love letter to an old flame, a song that beats in the heart. All these cliches add up to something fresh that reminds one of a gentler, softer time and place when Romance and Comedy at the movies mattered more than someone's personal life.

Red Cliff and aftermath
Posted by Fern under Jingju / Beijing Opera / Peking Opera 京剧, Li Hongtu 李宏图, Performances attended by Fern, Reviews, Zhu Qiang 朱强
[5] Comments
Hello Chinese Opera fans,
I owe you a review. As Bertrand already announced, I had the opportunity to check out a production of the National Centre for the Performing Arts (fancy official name of the Beijing National Grand Theatre), by the performers of China National Peking Opera Company and the Peking Opera Theater of Beijing, staged in the Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest. Click here for more information.
CNPOC had made some efforts recently to introduce the term "jingju" to the Western audience, presuming "Beijing Opera" might be misleading. I have foreseen the consequences: Westerners will desperately try to pronounce jingju properly, and each nation ends up with a completely different word.
In the case of Hungarians, the result was tyintyü.
So let's see this tyintyü, Red Cliff. Bertrand posted a video with the full opera previously, the article features multiple program introductions that summarize neatly what the intentions of NCPA were with this production. As Bertrand noted, it's a hybrid. Very hybrid. Some segments were 99% traditional Beijing Opera, some had Western opera taste, some left a strong Broadway smell.
I really don't want to go into details about the heated discussion what's going on right now at Weibo, many comments are very hardcore, many make sense, however almost none consider the feelings of foreigners, even if the speaker is not genuinely entitled to discuss the matter.
Technically speakings, is Red Cliff jingju? No. Is it acceptable to call it jingju nonetheless, or is it completely deceiving foreigners? Ruining the reputation of China's national essence? Wasting the taxes payed by Chinese citizens? I don't think so. Fact one who isn't familiar with Beijing Opera won't get a crystal clear picture of it by watching Red Cliff, however it might sparkle some interest in his heart.
Let's be sincere, how many of us started our Beijing Opera watching career with Yan Jupeng gramophone recordings? You get the point.
Better proceed to my actual report-back.
The show was moderated by popular hungarian actor, Péter Rudolf, widely known for his hip sense of humor. He read out loud a brief introduction about Beijing Opera in general, how it came into being, what are the main roles, everything was correct and well-phrased. He also precisely delineated the story, the Chinese-Hungarian booklet also contained a nice plot summary and detailed cast and crew lists. What's more, Hungarian translation of the dialogues and arias were displayed during the performance, but I didn't really watch because I find it distracting, and the screen was too high up for me anyways. Now and then I peeped and the sub seemed to be fair, yet not as good as ninedragonspot's translations.
As expected, spactators were warned to switch off every mobile phone and camera during the show, I made a few sound recordings but committed the classic rec/pause mix-up mistake in the dark, thus gracefully switching my camera off during Zhu Qiang's single bigger scene I was waiting for.
Wang Yige (王奕戈), who recently changed her name to 王奕謌 (possibly hinting that she's a hybrid performer herself, singing also in Western and folk style), delivered a marvelous intro and outro from the orchestra pit, although the songs had nothing to do with traditional jingju, fitted the general feeling of the whole opera.
Wang Yige wore an elegant yet somewhat revealing black dress, with lots of tastefully arranged jewelry. I had a first row seat, so I could effortlessly have a close look at the musicians, instruments and scores. Almost every fellow citizen did the same in the intermission, actually scores and instrumentation seemed to be the biggest hit, discussed animatedly by spectators.
I was wedged between senior ladies (who constantly whine about their pension, yet can afford a ticket that costs 10% of the wage of an average Hungarian citizen), I think they really enjoyed the performance, although they commented that the gongs and drums are too loud, and Li Hongtu's voice perforates their eardrums. I restrained myself from retorting "What if they would have brought Jin Xiquan?", it would have been pointless. Li Hongtu surely left a good impression on me, I liked him much better live than on videos.
All in all everyone was amplified optimally, except Zhang Jianfeng, somehow I couldn't hear him properly. It's a pity since I choose this performance instead of the Yu Kuizhi-Li Shengsu version because I wanted to check out this young Xi school laosheng on the spot.
This show was featuring many-many performers, most of them spent only a few minutes on the stage, I felt this is some kind of waste, I couldn't hear Du Zhe or Zhang Kai sing a paragraph of reasonable length. However I caught sight of my beloved Zhan Lei in the crowd of soldiers, also he had a short armor-less fighting scene later. Sun Shangxiang was played by Zhang Shujing, pauvre petite dropped her spear once, this was the single bigger flaw I noticed during this show.
I won't elaborate on the story of Red Cliff, you could see exactly the same performance in the previously posted video. I may add that the stage sets are not that huge and distracting as they seem.
Embarrassing moment during the performance:
In one of the scenes of Xiao Qiao (portrayed by Dou Xiaoxuan) and Zhou Yu (portrayed by Li Hongtu), Zhou lets out a really squeaky "Niangziiii!" (My wife!). This moment was rewarded with a noticeably loud laughter by one of my fellow citizens, I wished to crawl under a rock and explode there.
However, Li Shengsu was very satisfied with the audience previous day, she said during her 30 years career of performing Beijing Opera, she never met such warm welcome. PR or not, at least our town won't go down in history like the place populated by barbarians.
A few photos that aren't too blurry for your viewing pleasure:
During curtain call, I handed my little packet with a plush toy to one of the musicians, asking him to forward it to Zhu Qiang. For my relief he was pretty enthusiastic about the unexpected task, and kept his word because after everyone removed make-up in Planck time and the performers were dragging themselves to the tour bus, I spotted Zhu Qiang examining my plushie.
Of course I took the opportunity to ask for a photo and introduced myself with my online nickname. Previously we exchanged a few messages and although I mentioned I'm foreigner, he thought I'm ethnic Chinese.
He was talking to me fairly enthusiastically, I was just nodding continuously, repeating "I don't really understand", finally after taking a few photos we parted with the conclusion it will be better to keep contact online in written form. God bless the net. (I finally got back that "Follow" I was longing for. XD)
I'm not very fond of exposing my appearance on the net, yet I don't think it would be fair to not post a photo, so here it is:
On the picture with Li Hongtu I look so horrible that first I didn't want to share it, but managed to handle the issue:
Meanwhile the whole cast and crew arrived to Prague, the hotel is somewhat far from the inner city but they are doing fine.
2012-07-12 Everyone returned to Beijing in order.

Finally, a picture of Fern! A real human being! Not a bot.
Sleek and beautiful. But what is with the bag? Paper or plastic? Really? Even in Hungary?
I hasten to add Fern had been out of town a couple of days after the performance, just got back, and is starting a new full time job tomorrow, so her taking the time to post her account of a close encounter with Peking Opera stars during a classic Eastern European heat wave is triply appreciated.
I've suspected Fern to be a real human being for some time, but her posts are so wonderful I hesitated to investigate.
In any case, hopefully the next time the CNPOC performs in Budapest, they will recognise Fern on sight thanks to this picture, invite her backstage, and we will get photos of Fern in full qīngyī costume and make-up! Yay!
Also wanted to mention this web site has just been renewed for another year, and we still have lots of disk space to fill with wonderful videos.

Co-writer Faith Conroy and co-writer/director Jim Wilson recently spoke with "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner about their new horseracing drama "50 to 1."
In "50 to 1," which opened Friday, June 20, a misfit group of New Mexico cowboys find themselves on the journey of a lifetime when their crooked-footed racehorse qualifies for the Kentucky Derby. They face a series of mishaps on their way to Churchill Downs, becoming the ultimate underdogs in a final showdown with the world's racing elite.
Listen to "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner's full interview with Conroy and Wilson by clicking on the image above this article. The following is an excerpt from the interview in which the filmmakers discuss their motivation for the movie.
"'50 to 1' is a true-life story that took place in 2009 - just 5 years ago. This unheralded racehorse named Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby. It was the most amazing race that I have ever seen. I have owned horses for 25 years in Los Angeles, raced around the world, made documentaries on racing and all kinds of movies but I have never seen a race quite like this.
"This is really about underdogs making it and trailering their horse cross-country to Kentucky. It is a bit of a class system film as well. They took on the bluebloods of Kentucky and kicked their [butt]. It is a really inspiring picture. There is no insight that you have to have into horseracing to understand this movie. These are guys who are down on their luck and have a dream. That is what it is all about." - Jim Wilson
"You will be overcome with emotion. This incredible race that you see just takes you away. It is uplifting and you don't get that very often anymore. We wanted something that was different; something that people could actually sit down and be entertained - not offended or upset or have something twisted happening in front of them. This is just a great, feel-good family film.
"It is about, as they say in the movie, getting out there and taking chances. It is about following something even when everybody tells you that you are a fool. You go out there and do it anyway because this is what you want and this what you believe in and you are not going to give up your dream. That is what this movie is about. It really is. It has got a horseracing backdrop but it is about that message." - Faith Conroy

A Madison County man is facing a drug charge after being held for questioning in an early Tuesday morning shooting, according to a Tuesday evening news release from the Jackson Police Department.
Police said 24-year-old Poncho Leon Watkins remained in Madison County Jail Tuesday night on a charge of simple possession of marijuana.
Watkins is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at 8 a.m. in Jackson City Court, via video link.
The release said Jackson police responded to a shots fired call around 1 a.m. Tuesday. Officers stopped a vehicle at the intersection of Lexington Ave. and N. Royal St. Inside the vehicle was a 25-year-old Henderson man, who had a gunshot wound to his leg.
Officers determined that the victim had just been shot, while outside, on S. Lindsey St. and that he was being taken to the hospital when officers stopped the vehicle.
Police said while officers searched the area, they stopped a man, later identified as Watkins, matching the description of the shooter.
Watkins was held for questioning, but after further investigation, police said there wasn't enough evidence to charge Watkins in the shooting. But, police did find a small amount of marijuana in his pocket.
The gunshot victim was treated and released at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, the release said.
Police are asking that anyone with information on the shooting contact JPD's Major Crimes Bureau at 731-425-8400 or Crime Stoppers at 731-424-8477 (TIPS). Submit a cyber tip at jmcrimestoppers.org and click on "web tips".

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Lincoln, Abe (Abram)
Of the first generation of great jazz trombonists, few expressed the fire and passion of "hot jazz" better than Abe Lincoln. Lincoln's distinctively outgoing style can be heard in a number of different contexts, from Ed Kirkeby's early hot jazz ensembles through the L.A. studios and during his long and successful career on the Dixieland revival scene. Lincoln's sound is brash and energetic; his music projected youthful exuberance throughout his long career.
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on March 27, 1907, Lincoln's upbringing was similar to that of his more famous Pennsylvania contemporaries, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. His strict father started him playing the cornet at age five, insisting that he play his scales correctly before being allowed to go to bed. He began playing professionally by age 15 in local bands led by his older brother Bud, and moved to New York in 1923.
Lincoln's first break came with the California Ramblers in 1926, when he was hired to replace Dorsey as the band's trombonist. He had recorded occasionally with the group, cutting his first record with them in 1923, "Shake Your Feet." His first issued recording came with Ace Brigode a year later. As a regular with the Ramblers, Lincoln was at the center of New York's thriving hot jazz scene of the 1920s. He recorded with a number of other outfits as well, including the Varsity Eight, Five Birmingham Babies, and the Goofus Five, under the direction of bandleaders such as Ed Kirkeby, Arthur Lange and Ace Brigode.
After the stock market crash of 1929, Lincoln was one of the relatively few musicians who managed to continue their careers in the subsequent economic turmoil. Lincoln had also just been married, so the need for financial security was especially prominent. He worked regularly with Roger Wolfe Kahn and Paul Whiteman for four years before joining Ozzie Nelson's band in 1934. His work with Nelson in particular led him across the country on tours for five years.
Although Lincoln is perhaps less known today because of the name he shares with his more famous counterpart, President Abraham Lincoln, the similarity of their names occasionally came in handy. Lincoln told a story from his tour with Nelson in which he was pulled over by a pair of drunken police officers during the Prohibition Era. When he showed them his driver's license, they were so distracted by his famous name that they forgot to offer him a ticket; instead, they invited him to join them for a beer at the local speakeasy.
Early in 1939, Lincoln's work with Nelson brought him to Los Angeles, California, where the band had secured a residency at a local radio station. Lincoln left the radio orchestra later that year to pursue opportunities in the expanding studio scene in Los Angeles. His musical consistency and clear, bright trombone sound made him a perfect fit for much of the session work of the time backing Hollywood starts including Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. He can also be heard prominently in the musical score for the Woody Woodpecker cartoons.
Despite his musical excellence, Lincoln's personality occasionally caused some problems for his studio career. His penchant for improvisation would occasionally creep into his interpretation of studio arrangements, which usually upset the shows' producers. Still, his career flourished in Los Angeles, allowing him to purchase a home in Van Nuys and still save approximately half of his earnings.
Lincoln's arrival in California also coincided with the Dixieland Revival movement, led by fellow trombonist Kid Ory in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Although he didn't record with any of the Dixieland groups until 1944, Lincoln did play frequently in the Dixieland style of the time. In the mid-1940s, he opened a jazz club in Los Angeles with a group of fellow musicians, "Open House," but sold his share a couple of years later due to the difficulty of managing the club.
His jazz recording career took off again in 1953 with Matty Matlock's Rampart Street Paraders. His best-known recording, Coast Concert, features fellow Trombonist Jack Teagarden as a guest soloist and Bobby Hackett as the leader. Lincoln and Teagarden trade fours on a number of tunes; Lincoln's bright, aggressive sound can be heard in pleasant contrast to Teagarden's more relaxed, decorative style.
Lincoln continued to record frequently with Dixieland-revival outfits throughout the 1950s. Another memorable recording came with Red Nichols in 1955, reestablishing a partnership that they had formed at the height of the hot jazz scene three decades earlier. Jack also recorded with such notable musicians as Jack Webb, George Van Eps and Pete Fountain during this time. Despite not playing in the style of his modernist contemporaries such as J.J. Johnson, Bill Harris and Bob Brookmeyer, he was frequently recognized by the jazz press for being one of the trombone's finest practitioners.
In the 1960s, Lincoln continued his successful studio career in Los Angeles, but recorded less frequently with Dixieland ensembles. He did occasionally moonlight with Wild Bill Davison, until his brief retirement from performing in 1972.
After a couple of years, however, Lincoln found himself unable to stay away from playing jazz. He joined up with Davison again in 1975 for the "Championship of Jazz" in Indianapolis, Indiana and played a number of other festivals in the late 1970s. He was the featured performer at the 1976 Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, where he led a 16-piece trombone ensemble. His last recording is of a live performance at the Ojai Festivals Bowl in 1979.
This time, Lincoln did retire from playing professionally, and spent his final two decades in his California home. Despite his outgoing musical persona, Lincoln was a very private man, rarely responding to interview requests or fan mail. Although he lived another 20 years, many jazz fans and historians believed that he had passed away.
Lincoln did, however, still pick up the horn on occasion. His family's tradition of big birthday parties continued to his final years, and gave a comfortable venue to play for friends and family. He celebrated his final birthday in March of 2000, and passed away three months later on June 8 at the age of 93.
Lincoln's Coast Concert recording remains a surprising treasure of the Dixieland revival era; his legacy is that of a consistent, successful studio musician who also managed to leave his own mark on the jazz tradition.

Photos: A Girl Walks Into a Bar – Mile High Spirits
Posted by Vern Slocum on 08/16/2012 4:14pm MDT tags: Photo
Led by our Our Pal the Liquor Snob, the group lit out of the party for the tasting room at Mile High Spirits, which is now one of several destination watering holes around lower downtown's previously gritty east end. This one's shtick is that it only serves liquor distilled and infused on site. On this night, infusions listed on a dry erase board behind the bar included pineapple, mixed berry, cucumber, pickle pepperoncini and mixed berry whiskey. Patrons select an infusion and then apply it to one of the following treatments: single, $4; double and bloodies, $6; martinis and mules, $7; or $15 for a flight. Fun concept, with two downsides: It flirts with being gimmicky, and any drinker devoted to a certain pour, be it name-brand liquor or $2 domestic drafts, should look elsewhere.I chose a pineapple-infused mule. It arrived chilled in the cocktail's signature copper mug and went down easy. When ordering a mule at Mile High Spirits, be prepared to leave a credit card or cash deposit for the mug, a policy instituted after they began disappearing.

I guess I am just shocked at some of the salaries these folks are making. It makes me think that I should only give to my local church.

Although Jennie Finch has been retired since 2010, she has remained an important part of the sport in which she became an all-time great: softball. Last year, Finch publicly voiced the importance of helping softball campaign to return to the Olympics. Softball was dropped from the Olympic program after the 2008 Olympic Games. More recently, she hosted hundreds of girls from seven different states and Canada for the opening day of her Jennie Finch Softball Camp to teach both softball and life lessons. I interviewed Jennie Finch about the upcoming NCAA Softball Tournament, her college experience, and being an Advisory Board member with the Capital One Cup.
MH: Which matchups most intrigue you within the NCAA Softball Tournament?
Jennie Finch: It's going to be interesting. I think Georgia, who won the SEC Championship, is pretty hot right now. They are playing together and things are going well right now. In the PAC-12, Oregon has had a huge year all year long and it's incredible how good that they are and they have fuel with coming up short last year when Nebraska upset them. But I think that Oregon is ready and I am excited about everything with the tournament. The most exciting part about our sport is that anyone can pull an upset off so you never know what's going to happen in the postseason; and most importantly the winner of the WCWS will earn 60 points toward the Capital One Cup. There will be excitement with every game.
MH: What is your most memorable experience in your accomplished college career with the University of Arizona?
Jennie Finch: It was winning the National Championship in 2001.There is no greater feeling that being the last team standing and the minute that you step on campus that is the ultimate goal, to make it to the College World Series and win it all. What a thrill that was with eight seniors that year and I was a junior so to send the seniors out with a championship that was probably the most memorable moment for me.
MH: You are an Advisory Board member with the Capital One Cup. How do you see the women's Capital One Cup standings playing out?
Jennie Finch: It's exciting. The Winter standings just came out in April so definitely go to capitalonecup.com and check out where your school ranks. It is anyone's game right now. Stanford is in the lead right now with the women's water polo team winning the national championship recently. The Capital One Cup is one of the great awards in college athletics. Bragging rights mean a lot and the Capital One Cup gives to college programs through $400,000 in scholarship money. It is going to be a tight race and it is exciting to see how these college sports play out. As a former collegiate athlete, I have been able to work with a lot of people and it is important to empower and educate student-athletes to allow them to continue build those life lessons that will reach way beyond any playing field. The Capital One Cup allows for the athletic and educational pursuits of student-athletes.
MH: Thank you for your time, Jennie.
Jennie Finch: Great! Thank you so much.

The shocking photos, showing Bieber have a rocking good time, turned up on gossip site TMZ. Obviously, someone at the party sold him out.
TheImproper reported yesterday (Jan. 3) that Bieber's reps tried to "dirty up" the dead paparazzo, by leaking statements to the media, swearing that Bieber was not smoking pot while joy-riding in his Italian sportscar.
The photographer, Chris Guerra told a friend shortly before his death that he'd witness the teen sensation driving his car while toking on a marijuana pipe. If so, it would have been a big money shot for the freelancer.
When he saw Bieber's white Ferrari pull out of the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, he followed. The car was pulled over by police for speeding. Christopher Moore, aka rapper Lil Twist, was behind the wheel. The photographer was struck by a car and killed after photographing the scene.
Bieber expressed his condolences in a statement, but the party seemed to undermine his sincerity. Bieber also failed to gauge the impact of smoking pot so openly in the wake of the photographer's death. But someone at the party realized the implications and insensitivity of Bieber's actions.
Bieber reportedly had security present, according to TMZ, but people took photos without disruption. In shots published on the website, Bieber looks like he knows his way around a blunt.
The "Believe" singer has had run-ins with paparazzi before, but this looks like an unmitigated public relations disaster. Be sure to follow TheImproper for more updates on the case.

Cumberland Valley School Board members voted to postpone random drug testing Monday, saying they wanted more information on alcohol and steroid tests.
The board planned to vote Monday on procedures it developed with Holy Spirit Hospital, which will conduct random drug tests this school year on high school students who are involved in athletics, extracurricular or cocurricular activities or who drive to school.
But board members halted the vote when they realized some tests weren't part of the plan.
"My main concern is that's kind of new information to me," board President Karen Christie said after being told the hospital could test for steroids "on request" but they wouldn't be part of the regular tests.
"That was my understanding all along that (coaches' concerns about steroids) was what precipitated" random drug testing, she said.
Michael Cassidy, the attorney representing Holy Spirit Hospital, estimated testing for steroids would cost between $100 to $150 per test and would have to be sent away.
Otherwise, the tests cost $25 per student to test for five drugs and $50 to look for 10 drugs.
"If it's solely funding, then let's have that conversation," Christie said.
Alcohol questions
She also asked why alcohol was not on the list of tested drugs.
"This was our top problem on the survey," she said, referring to a May student drug survey that found rates of student drinking higher than the national average.
Cassidy, who works in the same law firm as district Solicitor Jerry Duffie and was involved in formulating the drug policy, said he thought school officials had decided to test for alcohol only when they suspect a student has been drinking.
Rather than test for it randomly, "there was acceptance of the idea that we would be able to identify students who were under the influence of alcohol," Cassidy said.
The list of tested drugs includes marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, methadone, PCP and barbiturates.
Teamwide tests suggested
Board member Robert Long Jr. said he wanted to see the district do "unit sweeps" where everyone in a certain activity would be tested.
Although unit sweeps are included in the random drug testing policy, they aren't mentioned in the procedures the board tabled.
"In order to make this drug-testing program effective, I think it has to be driven in large part on the unit sweeps," Long said, adding that positive peer pressure within teams would keep students from doing drugs.
Administrators said the district and Holy Spirit are not yet ready to conduct a unit sweep.
Parents object
A handful of parents also voiced opposition to the policy, sometimes interrupting board members to make comments out of turn during the two and a half hour meeting.
Kim Maylath of Hampden Township, whose daughter is a sophomore and plays the viola in the orchestra, said she didn't know about the testing until she read about it in the district newsletter in August, a couple of months after the policy was approved. In March the district announced a committee would be formed to study the possibility of random drug testing.
Maylath calls the testing a "terrible privacy invasion for my 15-year-old daughter."
At the meeting district officials passed out a time line of announcements at board meetings and media coverage of the drug testing. "Every director around this table gave serious consideration to this policy," Christie said.
Officials say they have mostly gotten positive feedback on the testing policy, which the board approved in June.
Kristin Mock of Hampden Township said the testing should apply across the board, not just for students in activities.
Solicitor Michael Cassidy said the district can take away privileges such as playing sports or driving to school but legally can't enforce the drug testing policy for students who aren't involved in activities.

A Long Time for Lease Overhaul — 8 Years and Counting
It's been a long road to overhaul the accounting for leases — and it's not over yet.
A new proposal issued Thursday by U.S. and international rule makers brings companies one step closer to big changes in how they account for leases – they'd have to bring hundreds of billions of dollars in lease obligations onto the balance sheet, dramatically boosting the effective debt at big users of leases like retailers and airlines. Current rules allow companies to keep many leases off their books, which critics say doesn't give investors a true picture of how leveraged they are.
But the proposal is only the latest step in a process of revamping the rules that's now gone on for eight years – an indication of how long it can take to change the accounting rules on a complex subject like leases, especially when there's significant opposition. And even if the changes are adopted in their present form, they aren't expected to take effect till around 2017.
The process has become so drawn-out it's even been the basis for jokes. Sir David Tweedie, former chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board, likes to say that one of his great ambitions is to fly on a plane that's carried on the airline's balance sheet.
Here is a chronology of some of the key events in the effort to revamp lease accounting:
February 2005: The Securities and Exchange Commission pushes companies to make sure their lease accounting is accurate, and it turns out that at many of them it isn't. About 270 companies restate their earnings or adjust their lease accounting as a result
June 2005: The staff of the SEC issues a report calling for the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which sets accounting rules for U.S. companies, to pursue an overhaul of lease accounting, which hasn't seen a comprehensive revamp since 1976.
November 2005: Robert Herz, then the FASB's chairman, says accounting regulators are considering a lease-accounting overhaul. Says he doesn't know how long it might take the board to come up with a revised systen, but opines that "it's going to take awhile."
July 2006: The FASB agrees to start work on a project to "comprehensively reconsider" its rules on lease accounting, together with the IASB. The board says it plans to issue its preliminary views on any changes in 2008.
March 2009: The FASB and IASB publish a "discussion paper" for public comment with their preliminary views on lease accounting.
August 2010: The FASB and the IASB issues their first formal joint proposal for changing lease accounting, requiring most leases to be shown on the lessee's balance sheet. Resistance arises quickly, with groups like the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association saying the move would be unduly burdensome for companies. Work on lease accounting and other major "convergence" projects, intended to bring U.S. and international accounting rules closer together, is slated to be done by June 2011.
December 2010: The public comment period on the lease-accounting proposal ends, with nearly 800 comment letters sent to the FASB.
July 2011: After holding a series of public roundtable meetings to gather input about their proposed changes from investors, auditors, and companies, the FASB and IASB indicate more work is needed on the proposed lease-accounting rule. They say they plan to introduce a revision of their proposal – in late 2011.
May 2013: The FASB and IASB issue their revised lease-accounting proposal. They expect final adoption in 2014, but a long lead time is planned before the new rules become effective, possibly in 2017.

Instead of costly remodeling, homeowners can focus on soft furnishings to help them achieve a faster, easier home makeover. If there are already strong elements like hardwood floors in place, decorating decisions can be based around them. The classic look of Anderson's Vintage floors with 5-inch planks, for instance, provide a classic base on which to build a new home design.
Window treatments allow homeowners to create a focal point with color and different textures by coordinating shades with flowing drapes or hanging them alone. Choosing an area rug that complements wood floors creates a mix of hard surfaces and soft fibers. Tying the colors and patterns of the rug into the overall color scheme gives a finished look to a well-furnished room.
Better Homes and Gardens magazine recommended layering a variety of textures and colors and arranging furniture of different heights in a way that encourages your eyes to travel up, down and all around a room. Boldly colored paintings, floor lamps with sculptural bases and pillows that offer contrast to sofas and chairs were some of the eye-catching ideas suggested.
Let personality show
By introducing simple changes, homeowners can delay house renovations or do them in stages, but still have a comfortable and stylish home in the meantime. Taking stock of their best permanent features, homeowners will be able to coordinate new furnishings with their existing decor.
Interior designer Joanna Everitt took this approach when she and her family moved to a mid-century house with great river views. She knew the house would eventually need significant reconstruction, but until a second story could be added to the 1950's-era home, a temporary makeover throughout the house reflected the dwelling's period and the family's personal taste.
Painting architectural features such as ceiling beams and worn brick walls in a fresh white allowed Everitt to bring in any color for accent, such as the bright blue corner chair in her living room. Bold colors in decorative pillows pop against the neutral upholstery of her sofa. She suggested that homeowners always begin with a plain palette, then add the colors they love in furniture and accessories.
In an Elle Decor feature, the magazine encouraged home decorators to try the unexpected. Incorporating some unlikely furnishings and accessories - a whimsical piece of furniture or a large artwork that takes up most of a wall - offers an element of surprise in a room design.

College Hockey:Marvin Shuts Out Notre Dame To Force Game 3
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Sophomore goaltender Eric Marvin made 30 saves and senior left wing Dana Lattery scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Western Michigan Broncos to a 4-0 shutout win over Notre Dame in game two of their best-of-three first round playoff series Saturday night at the Joyce Center. The Bronco win evens the series at one game each with game three set to be played at 7:05 p.m. on Sunday night at Notre Dame.
Marvin, who was appearing in just the fourth game of his career, held the Irish at bay all night and got all the help he needed from a stingy Western Michigan defense to record his first career shutout. Jeremy Cheyne and Jeff Campbell also scored for the Broncos in the game.
The Western Michigan win snapped Notre Dame's 15-game (13-0-2) home-unbeaten streak and was the first loss for the Irish at home since Oct. 17 versus Bowling Green. The Irish go into Sunday's game three with a 19-13-4 record. Western moves back to .500 with a 17-17-4 mark.
Despite 30 shots in the game, the Irish failed to muster a sustained attack versus Marvin who did a great job of making the first save and then have his defense move the puck out of harm's way.
"I was extremely disappointed with our performance tonight. We were outplayed in every facet of the game," said Irish head coach Dave Poulin following the game. "In the great game of hockey, you have to make plays. We didn't make many plays tonight. Marvin played great tonight. We never got any second chances. He saw the puck and made the stops he had two. Western also got two tremendous individual efforts on the goals by Cheyne and Lattery."
The first period belonged to the goaltenders as Morgan Cey and Marvin traded saves as the Notre Dame outshot Western Michigan, 13-12, but no goals were scored.
In the second period, the Broncos would score twice. Cheyne broke the shutout at the 6:15 mark when he beat Cey on a backhander from the slot for his 14th of the year. Vince Bellissimo hit Cheyne in neutral ice with a cross-rink pass. The junior right wing carried the puck across the slot and tucked the backhander between Cey's pads for the 1-0 lead.
The Broncos would go up 2-0 at 18:50 of the second when Lattery scored his first of the night and 14th of the year. The senior left wing carried the puck down the left side and left a pass for Bellissimo who trailed the play. Bellissimo fired a waist-high wrist shot at the Irish goal that Lattery deflected down and inside the right post.
Lattery would make it 3-0 at 12:32 of the third period on a brilliant individual effort. The Irish lost the puck in the right wing corner and Paul Davies slid the biscuit to Lattery in the left wing corner. He was able to walk the puck out of the corner, beat a defenseman and then flip a shot over Cey for his 15th of the year.
Jeff Campbell closed the scoring with his 13th of the year at 19:39 when he pounced on the rebound of a Lattery shot at the top of the crease and whipped it behind Cey for the 4-0 final score.
Cey finished the night with 27 saves for the Irish and is now in a situation that he is familiar with. For the third postseason in a row, the Irish will play a third and deciding game in the opening round of the playoffs.
"They were a desperate team tonight and we didn't match them. We weren't ready to play tonight," said the junior goaltender. "They came at us hard and they got the goals when they mattered. I have tremendous respect for what he (Marvin) did tonight. He made some big saves and gave them a chance to win. We have to come back tomorrow and play well."
Sunday's third game marks the sixth straight playoff appearance for the Irish that has gone to a game three, including each of the last two years on the road. Poulin expects his team to respond to the situation.
"The second win of the series is always the toughest. I've been in six playoff series now at Notre Dame and the winner of the first game in each of those series has not won the third game. It's single elimination the rest of the way. We've been here before. We just have to play better than we did tonight," said Poulin.

Typical approaches to diagnosing prostate cancer can be costly and invasive. Furthermore, a large number of prostate cancers are low-grade and won't result in symptoms or death, meaning that without necessarily extending it, aggressive forms of treatment can impact a sufferer's quality of life. In an attempt to establish a less invasive method of detecting the condition, Finnish researchers have developed an electronic nose capable of sniffing the patient's urine sample to distinguish between prostate cancer and benign disease.Read More
Victims of penetrating head injuries usually seek immediate attention, as the hole in their skull is difficult to miss. However, people with closed-head injuries may show few immediate signs of the trauma, and appropriate diagnostic equipment (primarily a CAT scanner) is often not immediately available. A Mexican-US team of researchers has now developed a simple, easy to operate, and inexpensive electromagnetic sensor for traumatic brain injuries, suited to on site use by field personnel and paramedics.Read More
When procuring tissue samples for medical diagnosis, doctors have been confined to bulky and invasive forceps. But with recent successful experiments in pigs, we may see doctors switching from the single forceps to hordes of a thousand "microgrippers." These metal discs, each only 300 micrometers in size, are designed to snip bits of tissue when introduced en masse into the body and then be easily retrieved by a doctor. Their small size, added to the fact that they need no batteries, tethers or wires, belies their complexity and autonomy in function, which could allow the microgrippers to provide diagnoses earlier, more easily, and with less trauma.

Infectious diseases these days seem to have gotten a lot of attention, with media hype and threats of pandemics often being portrayed in apocalyptic sci-fi movies. We all know that several types of these diseases can spread rapidly, and it is crucial that doctors be able to identify them quickly in order to prevent an epidemic. Unfortunately, current testing methods can take hours and even days, delaying the process of adequate prevention. It should then ease your mind to hear that researchers at the University of Tennessee have invented a device that can rapidly detect these unwanted afflictions.Read More
A consortium of scientists has been formed to try and stem the rise of sexually transmitted diseases (or infections as they are now called) that's said to be reaching epidemic proportions in the UK. As early diagnosis and treatment is essential in such matters, the team is creating a self-diagnosis system where results can quickly be displayed on a mobile phone or computer screen. The system could even automatically make an appointment at a clinic or direct the unfortunate sufferer to the nearest pharmacy, where treatment would be waiting.Read More
Although melanoma is one of the less common types of skin cancer, it is responsible for the majority (around 75 percent) of skin cancer related deaths. Part of the problem is that current diagnoses rely on subjective clues such as size, shape and coloring of a mole. With the aim of providing an objective measurement as to whether a lesion may be malignant, researchers at John Hopkins University have developed a prototype non-invasive infrared scanning system that works by looking for the tiny temperature difference between healthy tissue and a growing tumor.Read More
Just as home tests revolutionized the detection of pregnancy, a tiny sensor being developed at the University of Missouri (MU) could bring the benefits of home testing to the diagnosis a variety of diseases, including breast and prostate cancers. The sensor, known as an acoustic resonant sensor, is smaller than a human hair and could one day be used in home testing kits for the easy, rapid and accurate diagnosis of a range of diseases.

Finland's VTT has developed a rapid image analysis method to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease in just a few minutes. The accuracy of the analysis is comparable to manual measurements made by skilled professionals, which are currently considered the most reliable method for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease. The accurate and rapid analysis method is well suited for clinical use.Read More
Because the signature biomarkers that indicate the presence of cancer at the cellular level are generally present only at low levels in biological samples, detecting them is a procedure that usually takes days and involves a room filled with computers. Now researchers have used nanomaterials to develop a microchip small enough to fit in a device the size of a mobile phone, and sensitive enough to do the job in 30 minutes.Read More
