Associate of Science (AS)
The Associate of Science Degree at Eastern Gateway Community College requires a minimum of 60 semester hours. This degree provides a solid sciences education base and is flexible enough to permit the creation of a program to fulfill personal study desires or fulfill transfer requirements.
This degree gives substantial cost savings to the student completing the first two years of his/her baccalaureate program at Eastern Gateway Community College. A student seeking this degree will work with a faculty advisor and the transfer director in planning the academic program. The student also should consult with an advisor at the institution to which transfer is desired.
The Associate of Science (AS) Degree is a two-year degree program which parallels the first two years of a Bachelor of Science Degree at most four-year institutions. Depending upon the selection of electives in the AS degree, the student can progress into baccalaureate programs such as biology, chemistry, physics, sciences, mathematics, and other fields of interest in the science disciplines.
Suggested course sequence for the AS degree appears in the following chart. A list of general studies electives can be found at the beginning of the course description guide. All course descriptions, including electives, are found in the catalog course description guide. In planning a schedule, the student should know that all courses are NOT offered all semesters. Course sequencing and elective selection are critical. An appointment with an advisor or the director counselor is essential.
Eastern Gateway Community College has articulation agreements with many local colleges and universities, both two- and four-year. Students may check with a dean or the transfer director for an updated list or consult EGCC's web site or the Course Applicability System.
The AS is designed for students who are planning to transfer into baccalaureate degree programs in science-related disciplines offered at four-year institutions.
The coursework includes the basic courses that are generally acceptable to the transfer institution. The major emphasis is on completion of general education requirements that are part of the senior institution's requirements for science majors. These are in the areas of math, science, humanities and social sciences.
Students enrolling in this transfer program should be aware of the course requirements and application of transfer credits at the institutions to which they are considering transferring.
Working closely with the academic advisor and transfer director, a student will be able to tailor a program of study to fit the requirements of the desired transfer institution. It is the student's responsibility to meet requirements of a program and the needs in regards to transfer.
Upon completion of the degree, the student will be able to:
1. Communicate effectively, using language, concepts and models of science.
2. Use the scientific method to define and solve problems independently and collaboratively.
3. Use a wide variety of laboratory techniques with accuracy, precision and safety.
4. Interpret scientific information accurately.
5. Demonstrate proficient library, mathematical and computer skills in data gathering and analysis.
Eastern Gateway Community College's Student Success Plan/Assessment is available for view in PDF format.
This information is presented as a general program overview. Students are advised to follow the more detailed college catalog for program requirements.

How vengeful will Nicki Minaj's sequel to "Roman's Revenge" be? What precisely is being reloaded? From the looks of the album cover, a paintball gun. Check this out:
We like this! In fact, we like this a lot. It's Very stylized. Very pastel-warrior. Very battle-Barbie. Very un-Grammy Vatican bait, but also very un-"Starships." (If it were like "Starships," all those colors would have their saturations cranked up to 255 each, and the album art would probably be pulsing or something.) Dozens of crayons probably sacrificed their corpses to make this cover happen, and for this we are thankful. The album's out April 3.

Sound like some fellow Cali Cranium Crusher/Big Foot jive. I doubt that the Sin City's dark forces and amazing crooks rip off Money May. Another Sin City heist is the only chance that the gun-carrying humbug Cali Ghost wins.
The Cali Ghost is not going to get a rematch. Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch. Holla!
Agreed Radam. Aint gonna be no rematch. I wonder if Floyd will fight Khan in the fall and bank an easy KO or fight Canelo and clean up on the still green, armpunching, right hand reaching, fading down the stretch redhead?
Pretty Boy is a great self promoter, but get real. Claiming to be the greatest fighter of all time is
a stretch in any informed fight fans opinion. His cherry picked opposition the past 5 years is laughable compared to some of the icons in the top 10 list of Boxings Champs. Floyd will look pretty ordinary in with Robert, diminished reflexes, speed and legs don't rejuvenate with added time.
Jizzy! Hehehehe! That is all from me. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Group vs Phase figure
NIM rips signals
Plane wave movie
The simple but subtle error in all LHM papers.
Surprisingly, the key error in all earlier LHM papers is both simple and subtle - the mistaken identification of phase propagation with energy (or signal) propagation. The negative phase refractive index of NIM implies that modulations go forward but phase goes backward. So only phase bends in negative manner but modulations bend in positive manner.
But in NIM, phase and group (or signal) always go in very different directions. At normal incidence, the angle between phase and group "rays" is 180 degrees and can decrease only to 90 degrees at very oblique incidence.
So, in contrast to PIM, phase rays NEVER closely represent the energy propagation direction in NIM, and our PIM-based geometrical optics intuition can be very wrong.
Veselago's Wrong Ray Diagram
Veselago's Diagram Copied
Veselago's wrong "ray diagram" copied by
Note that ALL earlier LHM papers essentially copy the wrong "ray diagram" (Fig.4) from Veselago's 1968 paper that started the LHM activity.
This ray diagram is supposed to represent phase rays with arrows pointing backward inside the NIM slab. So it cannot simultaneously represent refraction of wave signals going forward all along the ray as it travels through the NIM slab.
In all LHM papers that copy this diagram from Veselago, either no arrows are shown on the "rays" or they are shown pointing forwards in the NIM slab, misleading the reader into believing that they represent something (light energy) actually going forward along those rays.
Note that "phase rays" do not have even approximate physical significance in NIM because they do not represent energy or signal transport, and MUST go backwards in NIM.

TUCSON - The No. 26-ranked Arizona Wildcat women's tennis team is back in action as they host two Pac-10 teams at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center. The Cats (10-2) will begin Pac-10 play against Oregon and No. 71 Washington State.
In the last two weeks, the Wildcats have climbed 33 spots in the ITA rankings by winning six of their last seven duel matches. Also making their way into the rankings is the junior duo Sarah Landsman and Natasha Marks. In the No. 1 position of doubles, the team is 10-1 in duel play and has earned a No. 67 national ranking. Marks has also jumped into the singles rankings with a 9-3 record in dual play to secure the No. 99 national singles ranking.
Last weekend, the Cats traveled to Boise, Idaho to take on No. 42 Boise State and No. 46 Saint Mary's at BOAS Indoor Tennis Complex. Against the Broncos, the Cats clinched the doubles point and went on to win four of six singles matches for a 5-2 victory. After dropping the doubles point against Saint Mary's, the Wildcats came back to win four of six singles matches to clinch a 4-3 win over the Gaels.
On Fri., March 4, Arizona will host the Oregon Ducks (6-4, 0-2 Pac-10). Last weekend, the Ducks fell to two top-ranked Pac-10 teams. The Ducks dropped their Pac-10 opener to No. 1 Stanford, 7-0. Oregon also fell to No. 6 California, 7-0.
On Sat., March 5, the Cats will take on No. 71 Washington State. The Cougars (8-5, 0-2 Pac-10) dropped both of their matches last weekend as they began Pac-10 play. The Cougars opened against No. 6 California and dropped the match, 7-0. No.1 Stanford also blanked Washington State on Sat. February 26.
The Cats are set to play Oregon at 1:30 p.m. on Fri., March 4 and No. 71 Washington State at noon on Sat., March 5. Both matches will be held at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center in Tucson, Ariz.

Navigating interfaith marriage is a search for common ground
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — She's a devout Catholic. He's an active Mormon. And for more than three decades the couple has learned how to deepen their own faith while appreciating the faith of the other.
Their secret?
"We will accept each other as we are and pray to grow together but not necessarily pray for conversion," said Juliana Boerio-Goates of Orem, who married Steven Goates on July 2, 1977. She then adds a caveat: "The path that we've chosen is not something that we encourage anybody else to do."
In the United States, about 42 percent of marriages are interfaith unions, according to a leading expert in interfaith marriage in the United States. She reports that this up from 15 percent in 1988 and 25 percent in 2006, according to data from the General Social Survey, social science research supported by the National Science Foundation.
Interfaith marriages are three times as likely as same-faith unions to end in divorce, Naomi Schaefer Riley reported in her 2013 book, " 'Til Faith Do Us Part: How Interfaith Marriage is Transforming America."
"It is not the doctrines of religion, but its practices and rituals that are more likely to affect our day-to-day lives, and therefore our marriages. The latter may ultimately lead to more disagreements and eventually to divorce," Riley said in her book.
Juliana and Steven certainly understand the struggle. They said the "most intense fights" during the first two to three years of the Orem couple's 37-year marriage concerned religion. Now they happily married couple live in harmony, finishing each other's sentences.
"We decided that the only way we could make the marriage work was to be able to say, 'Yes, I will love you even if you never change your faith. Even if I die Catholic and you die Mormon, we'll have a happy relationship based in the things that we share, with an understanding of the differences,' " Juliana Boerio-Goates said.
They tell a story of how early in their marriage, he was reading from Catholic theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and a passage helped him better understand and appreciate the sacrament of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. According to her, he read Teilhard de Chardin incorrectly, something she said does not matter much since it helped him spiritually.
"We decided to have a life together and that's our advantage. That's the thing that matters to us," Steven Goates said.
Their relationship has not been without its bumps. Marriage is hard work and adding the interfaith element was an additional challenge. One benefit of their union has been an increased understanding of their respective beliefs, they said.
"Interfaith issues tend to be more complicated emotionally for people to figure out how to deal with than most issues that walk in my door," said marriage and family therapist Jonathan Swinton.
He said religious beliefs are more deeply ingrained in a person than other beliefs, and he said spouses struggle to separate their partner from their partner's beliefs.
Learning to cope
Interfaith couples considering marriage should discuss the details of which religion their children should attend and how they can best support the spouse in their religious activity, Swinton said.
In addition, it is important to communicate respect and understand how to best communicate their support for the other spouse's faith, according to Steven Szykula, a psychologist who specializes in children and families. It is also vital for people to know how involved their future spouse will be with their religion and be prepared to protect their partner from pressure that may come from their family of origin.

Samsung CLP-775ND Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: This high-volume, fast workhorse turns out great-looking business documents for busy small offices. Read More…

Samsung CLP-775ND Review
By November 21, 2011, reviewed
Table of Contents
You may not work in a big corporate tower, but when it comes to printing around the office, that doesn't mean you can settle for a cheap consumer printer. Some small-to-medium-size offices and workgroups need a printer that consistently churns out thousands of pages a month without breaking a sweat. For environments like these, fast, no-frills, high-volume color laser printers with a low per-page operational cost are not a luxury—they're a necessity.
You know the kind of printer we mean—a workhorse that sits there, day-in and day-out, pounding out hundreds of quality color and monochrome prints with minimal maintenance and attention to swapping out print media. Samsung's $749 CLP-775ND color laser printer matches this profile, and then some. Equipped with a fast processor, lots of memory, and high-capacity paper trays and toner cartridges, it's ready for high-volume use on a local network.
In addition, this heavy-duty laser churner has excellent output quality. We were consistently impressed with how well (and how fast) it printed our test business documents and photographs. (We've got more on the print quality in the Performance section.)
Overall, we found very little to dislike about this printer. It was a shoo-in Editors' Choice pick.

Unemployment rate increases back over 10 percent
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
The unemployment rate in Davidson County went back into double digits in December, according to data released Wednesday by the N.C. Department of Commerce — Labor and Economic Analysis Division.
Davidson County had a rate of 10.1 percent in December, .6 percentage points higher than the 9.5 percent rate in November. The rate in December 2011 was 11.1 percent.
Larry Parker, spokesman for the state Division of Employment Security, pointed out the numbers are not seasonally adjusted so therefore it is better to look at over-the-year trends rather than month to month.
Karen Michael, assistant manager of Lexington's office of the North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security, said traffic has been steady at the office as the New Year starts to unfold.
"We always have a lot of traffic in this office. I don't know if I would say I have seen a monumental change due to the New Year — people trying to get a restart on their career," Michael said.
The county labor force had 79,004 people, and 7,986 were unemployed. The labor force has decreased since reported numbers in November, from 80,135 people with 7,634 unemployed.
Graham County had the highest unemployment rate at 18.5 percent, while Orange County had the lowest at 5.9 percent. Among Micropolitan areas, Boone had the lowest unemployment rate at 8.5 percent and Laurinburg had the highest at 16.6 percent. Thomasville-Lexington is categorized as micropolitan.
"I looked at the numbers and saw that the unemployment rate jumped up but it is still down from the beginning of (2012). There has only been four months of the year where unemployment has been less than the 10.1 percent it is now," Michael said.
But even though the jump was not a direction good for the county, Michael is optimistic.
"The economists are saying the economy is improving, so we are hopeful," Michael said.
Davidson was one of 97 counties in the state that saw an increase in December and one of 54 with rates at 10 percent or higher. The state rate was 9.5 percent compared to 9 percent in November.

In 2005 and 2006, three adult female chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) were found dead with signs of acute babesial infection in the eastern Swiss Alps. PCR on DNA extracted from blood or spleen of the carcasses revealed sequence identity of the amplified part of the 18S rRNA gene with GenBank entries attributed to Babesia divergens of cattle origin or B. capreoli of wild ruminant origin which have never been described before in this region. Examination of 424 blood samples from 314 head of cattle from this area by IFAT, microscopy and PCR provided no evidence for babesial infection. Six of 887 ticks collected from cattle were PCR-positive, and sequencing revealed Babesia sp. genotype EU1 in five and B. divergens/B. capreoli in one of them. A Babesia isolate of chamois, two isolates of roe deer from the same region and one isolate of a roe deer from the north-western Swiss Alps were genetically compared with two Swiss B. divergens isolates of cattle origin by analysing the genomic rDNA locus. Whereas the near full length sequences of the 18S rRNA gene were virtually identical among all six isolates (>99.4% identity), distinct differences between the two isolates from cattle on the one hand and the four isolates from free-ranging ruminants on the other hand were observed in the sequences of the internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 (ITS1, ITS2) and part of the 28S rRNA gene. These results indicate that, albeit genetically very closely related, these babesial organisms from cattle and from free-ranging ruminants indeed are distinguishable organisms with different host specificities, and they support the use of the discrete species name B. capreoli for the B. divergens-like organisms from chamois and roe deer.

President Obama's signing of the 2014 Farm Bill at Michigan State University brought to the fore the role of the land-grant institution in the history of agriculture. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the passing of the Smith-Lever Act, which established the Cooperative Extension Service, and arguably ensures agricultural education's role in the future of farming, as well as other pursuits. However, in honor of Black History Month, today we look at the second Morrill Act.
In 1890, in order to expand on the work that was begun in 1862 with the first Morill Act, Congress passed another which increased funding and support to one land-grant college in each state, to provide post-secondary education in agriculture and industry. Moreover, this second bill sought "broader education for the American people in the arts of peace, and especially in agriculture and mechanics arts." The funds were to "be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts, the English language, with reference to their applications in the industries of life". In order to receive support from congressmen from the South, at this time a "separate but equal" provision was included, for the establishment of land-grant schools for Blacks. Afterward, in 17 southern and border states, two land-grant colleges existed. In our local area, only Kentucky State University belongs to the list of 1890 land-grant schools.
Just before this time, one agricultural educator, Seaman A. Knapp, put forth the idea that farmers would be more likely to adopt new practices if they were demonstrated on their own farms, rather than at a research farm. This idea, to bring the results of research to farmers where they worked, provided the impetus for the birth of agricultural extension work. Accordingly, historically Black institutions were working to bring research to farmers in their fields, most notably at Tuskegee Institute, where George Washington Carver was recruited by Booker T. Washington to spearhead this effort. Tuskegee is not a land-grant university, but it had a similar curriculum, as well as an agricultural experiment station funded by the 1887 Hatch Act, like many land-grants. In 1892, the first annual Negro Farmers Conference took place at Tuskegee, and extension work among Black farmers had its launching pad. By 1900, over 1,000 Tuskegee students were doing extension work throughout a wide area. Then, in 1914, the passing of the Smith-Lever Act established and funded cooperative extension at all land-grant schools. We'll talk more about that in a future article.

COLUMBUS — All season, three names were consistently among Medina County's leaders in the pole vault.
Medina's Alex Wasik, Black River's Becca Herte and Cloverleaf's Jennifer Foster all broke school records and tried to one-up each other for area bragging rights in the event.
Wasik and Herte walked away with state championships Saturday in Division I and D-II, respectively, while Foster finished second in D-I.
For Wasik, it was only fitting that her win came down to a battle with local rival Foster, though they rarely competed against each other this season despite the proximity of their schools.
"She's right there with me and it was some rough competition, that's for sure," Wasik said. "She's as good as it gets."
After a pair of vaulters bowed out of the competition at 11 feet, 6 inches, the two went head-to-head and were the only ones left standing when the bar was raised to 12-2.
Wasik, who finished second in the state as a junior by just two inches, was ready for the challenge, as she and Foster recorded personal-best jumps of 12-2. The Medina senior won the crown based on overall misses for the competition.
The excitement was so overwhelming Wasik couldn't put it into words after Foster missed her final try at 12-6, ultimately giving the championship to her.
"I can't, it's just so much excitement," she said with a big smile. "This weekend with graduating, it's elation."
What was most impressive was how efficient the win was for Wasik, who had limited misses on the day and cleared the bar with ease at times.
"In practice, it's been happening and it's just gotten better and better," the Villanova recruit said. "I'm actually disappointed that I didn't get 12-6, because that was my goal for the whole year, but maybe I will go to nationals (later this month) and that will happen."
In defeat, Foster was still proud of all her accomplishments and how she was able to finish her prep career on a high note.
"I knew she had me on misses and I was going to have to clear higher than her," she said of her jump of 12-2. "Then I was like, 'I'm already in second, so just have fun with it.'"
For Herte, it was a matter of making one successful jump.
Behind on misses to Alyssa McBride of Bryan, the Black River senior cleared 11-9 on her final attempt to walk away with the gold.
One jump and she was state champion. One jump and she erased the heartache of failing to get out of districts as a junior.
"State champ was the only thing I was thinking," Herte said of the final try. "I was just thinking, 'I have to get it.'"
After switching to a longer pole, the Pirate calmly started into her final jump and sailed over the bar to the cheers of a crowd that may have accounted for half of Sullivan Township.
The leap matched her personal best and helped her beat McBride, who had cleared as high as 12-3 this season.
"It was a little nerve-racking," Herte said. "I was getting a little nervous there at the end, but I pulled through."
It was a gamble by coach Corey Kline to have Herte switch to a 13-foot-7 pole she hadn't used all day with one jump remaining, but the move paid off.
"To be on the third attempt and switch poles, we moved all in and this time it worked," said Kline, a former state-qualifying pole vaulter at Mapleton. "She came off the mat (after her second attempt) and she was on her smaller pole and I said, 'We have to go with the big one. You're not getting the kick off the top and we have to go to the bigger one.'
"She kind of looked at me and I said, 'Hey, if you clear it, you're the state champ. Get on the big pole, run as hard as you possibly can and leave nothing on the runway. If you clear it, we're state champs and if you don't, we gave it all we could.' It worried me not having two more attempts on it, but she hammered it."

To begin with, a sketch taking in four salient variables which are learner, task, context, and strategies is introduced to pay particular heed to the review. After that, previously-conducted research along mentioned variables is critically considered. In particular, the analysis zooms in profoundly on task-dependent strategies for this variable is much more tangible and yet possesses practically more pedagogical essence. In lieu of seeking the superlative strategies and techniques that bring into being the paramount outcomes, the investigator implies the relative efficiency of each single strategy and technique. The organic notion underlying this study is that the most effective and efficient lexical development will occur in multifaceted curriculums that attain a pedagogically well-reasoned symmetry between explicit and implicit activities for L2 learners at all levels of their progress.

College Hockey:This Week In The NCHA and MCHA: Dec. 1, 2006
The Thankgiving weekend saw a little bit of everything for teams from the two leagues. Four NCHA teams took part in conference play, two teams from each league hit the ice for holiday tournaments, while the rest stayed home enjoying leftovers all weekend.
For the first time this season, a Western team grabs the top spot in the USCHO.com DIII poll as on the heels of another 2-0 weekend, undefeated St. Norbert now claims the top spot. Idle UW-River Falls holds on to the number six spot, while UW-Superior holds down the seventh position following two wins over MIAC teams in the Augsburg Tournament. UW-Stout drops from 10th to 12th following a one-goal loss to Neumann in the semifinals of the MSOE Thanksgiving Tournament. Following UW-Stevens Point's 0-2 weekend, and MSOE's 9-0 loss at the hands of Neumann, both have dropped completely out of the poll, leaving St. Scholastica as the lone remaining team from either league to garner votes. The Saints currently stand one spot out of the top fifteen.
Tournament Time, November Style
A few of the most intriguing matchups of the past weekend were played in the inagural MSOE Thanksgiving Tournament, held at the Kern Center in Milwaukee, WI. Featuring host MSOE, Gustavus Adolphus, UW-Stout and Neumann, the tournament offered another chance for MSOE to prove itself against non-conference opposition, as well as a thrilling opening round game between two ranked teams in UW-Stout and Neumann.
In the tournament opener it looked like the NCHA would reign supreme as the Blue Devils jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead on the Knights. UW-Stout still appeared to be in excellent position to advance to the final until a string of penalties, the most notable a five minute major for checking from behind, gave the Knights an opportunity they would not pass up. In a span that stretched less than five minutes, Neumann would reel off three powerplay goals, two of them coming with a two-man advantage.
The two would remain deadlocked until the waning moments of the game. With Neumann again on the powerplay, Knight forward Mike Hedden would cap off a four point day, finding the back of the net with only 12 seconds left to play, thereby sending the Knights to the title game. Special teams were the story of the game as all four Neumann goals would come with a man (or two) advantage.
Special teams would also play a crucial role in the nightcap, where MSOE came out on top of a 9-6 shootout against Gustavus Adolphus. The Gusties were an impressive 4-for-8 on the powerplay, but it wouldn't be enough to match the Raiders overwhelming 6-for-11 with the man advantage. Led by four goals from forward R.G. Flath, 12 Raiders would get on the scoresheet en route to sending MSOE to the title game.
Sunday's championship contest against Neumann presented yet another opportunity for MSOE to score a landmark win over a very high-quality opponent. One weird caveat, however, is that the Raiders would rather have been playing UW-Stout. When it comes to NCAA comparisons against other teams from the West Region, a win over UW-Stout would have helped out MSOE much more (especially in terms of record against common opponents) than a win over Neumann would have.
Despite that interesting conundrum, it's all moot for now as MSOE would not be beating anyone on Sunday. By the time MSOE called its timeout only 4:48 into the game, Neumann had already put three goals up on the board, setting the Raiders in a hole they would never climb out of.
According to Neumann head coach Dennis Williams, a fast start was something the Knights were focusing on, especially after falling behind to UW-Stout 3-0 the day before.
"That's something we preached," he said. "Especially after what happened yesterday, we didn't need that happening again today."
Neumann would add another goal late in the period to take a 4-0 lead into the first intermission, and the Knights would officially put things away in the second period with three of the prettiest goals this writer has seen in a while.
The first two came on nearly identical powerplay set-ups, as the Knights would make five rapid-fire passes only to find a man standing all alone on the doorstep on the weak side. The scoring in the period was capped off by a gorgeous breakaway backhander by Jesse Cole. Not taking the foot off the pedal even with a four goal lead os something Williams expects from his team.
"A lot of that comes from the league we play in," he said. "You can't ever let up against anyone or it will come back to hurt you. It again goes back to yesterday when we were the ones who had to come back. I don't think we played 60 minutes of hockey yesterday and today it was something we were going to do."
And play a full 60 minutes they did, as the Knights would tally twice more in the final frame and roll to a 9-0 win.
With this being the first of what MSOE plans on making an annual event, early reviews bode well for the future as Williams and his Knights were impressed with the entire ordeal.
"Everything about it has been great. The facility is great, the competition … and the hospitality has been great. No complaints at all. We have two 15-hour bus trips to get here but this is our first time out West to get a chance to play some of these guys and I thought everything about it was great," he said.
Of course, it always helps win you win the tournament, as according to one Neumann player: "This will make the trip home a lot more fun."
Thanksiving Leftovers
UW-Superior won the Augsburg Tournament by defeating Augsburg 3-2 in the championship game and Bethel 9-4 in the opening round.
Finlandia also participated in the Augsburg Tournament, but finished 0-2 with losses to Bethel and Augsburg.
St. Norbert goaltender Kyle Jones conceded goals in both Green Knight wins last weekend, keeping his career shutout total at 13 – one shy of tying the all-time NCAA Division III record.
UW-Superior's two wins over MIAC foes and UW-Stout's victory over Gustavus Adolphus run the NCHA's season record against the MIAC to 28-6-1.
St. Norbert junior forward Marc Belanger leads the West Region in scoring with 20 points (8g, 12a) in 11 games. His total ranks him tied for 5th in scoring in the nation. St. Norbert forwards Matt Boyd and Steven Sleep also crack the top ten nationally in scoring.
St. Norbert's two wins last weekend run its season record to 10-0-1. If the Green Knights win Friday, it will mark their best start in school history.
Following last weekend's 0-1-1 showing, UW-Stevens Point is 0-3-1 in the NCHA. This marks the first time the Pointers have been winless through four league games since the 1982-83 season – their second year as a varsity program.
The rumor mill says UW-Eau Claire was the best looking team St. Norbert has faced all season. Though the Green Knights pulled away in the third period, for the third week in a row the word is the same: Keep an eye on the Blugolds.
This Week in the MCHA
The MCHA boasts a full slate of league games this weekend, and two of the matchups look very even.
The one that doesn't is MSOE hosting a series against Northland. MSOE currently leads the league with seven points while Northland enters the weekend winless. Making matters worse for the Lumberjacks is that the Raiders likely aren't going to be in a very good mood following the 9-0 wipeout by Neumann. The Raiders owned Northland last season, going a perfect 4-0 while outscoring them by a 24-2 margin. Over the past two seasons, MSOE has rolled up the statistics against MCHA foes, and there's no reason to think that won't continue this weekend.
Second place Finlandia is once again at home, but they are hosting Lawrence who is only one point behind them in the league standings. Last season's meetings were about as tight as possible with the two going 1-1-2 against each other. As has been the theme this season, expect special teams to decide a series that appears too close to call. Lawrence leads the MCHA in penalty minutes, but also leads in penalty kill.

Kader Tapsoba To Compete For Burkina Faso National Team
Kader Tapsoba will represent Burkina Faso at the 2013 FIBA Africa Championships.
June 10, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech senior>Kader Tapsoba has been selected to compete for the Burkina Faso National Team at the 2013 FIBA Africa Championships to be held Aug. 20-31 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Tapsoba, who will return this fall for his senior season, is one of two college players from Burkina Faso selected to the team. The other is Bluefield State's Samuel Ouedraogo.
This is Tapsoba's second stint with the Burkina Faso National Team, after playing on the Under-20 National Team. Tapsoba has left to begin working out with the Burkina Faso National Team in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Africa.
Tapsoba, a 6-10 forward from Ouagadougou, played in 27 games last season with one start. He averaged 7.2 minutes, 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds per game with 16 blocks.
He redshirted in 2011-12 after transferring from Tyler Junior College, where he averaged 6.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 blocks as a sophomore.
Burkina Faso is one of 16 teams to qualify for the FIBA Africa Championships. It is also their first appearance in the event, despite being affiliated with FIBA since 1964.
Burkina Faso has drawn Group B with defending champions Tunisia, 1965 winners and two-time finalists Morocco and Rwanda. Burkina Faso plays Rwanda (Aug. 21), Tunisia (Aug. 23) and Morocco (Aug. 25). The top two teams from the group will advance to the quarterfinals. The top three teams in Abidjan will automatically qualify for next year's FIBA World Cup in Spain.

|Skins & Trivia
- Development
- Skarner was designed by Volty.
- Skarner is voiced by David Lodge, who also voices Galio.
- Skarner's name is likely derived from an old Swedish mining term "skarn", which referred either to silicate waste rock or iron-bearing sulfite deposits.
- Similarly, the name of Skarner's people is derived from "brack", a Scottish past tense for break.
- Skarner was first seen in Brand's Art Spotlight. The Art Spotlight was removed when the leak was noticed, and replaced with an edited version.
- Some champions, prior to their release, have an article in the Journal of Justice which foreshadows their arrival. As Skarner's arrival ties directly into the fate of Kalamanda, his entry as a champion has been the longest known buildup in LoL's official lore.
- IronStylus has stated that Skarner's head is based on an EVA unit from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- Lore
- Skarner's site of emergence, the Crystal Scar, is the Field of Justice for Dominion.
- General
- Skarner has the fifth highest base attack damage at 133 at level 18.
- In the U.R.F game mode (available in April 2014), Skarner was deemed overpowered and obnoxious, and was ultimately disabled in non-custom games.
- Quotes
- His joke: "Oh no! I seem to have stepped on one of my cousins!" is most likely a reference to the first Men in Black movie.
- Skarner shares a line with Kha'Zix: "Limb from limb!"
- Skarner's quote while standing in the brush for a time (Skar-Skar-Skarner!) is a reference to the Pokémon franchise, specificially those who say their own name as their racial cry.
- Skins
- It bears a resemblance to the elementals of the Selesnya Conclave of Ravnica in that they are made of bits of masonry connected by a system of plants. Examples of Selesnya elementals can be found here and here.

- He shares this theme with Xerath.
- He resembles Blade Wolf from the "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" franchise.
- This skin appears in the bottom left corner of Battlecast Prime Cho'gath's splash art.
- A view of his face and stinger can be found in the splash art for Creator Viktor.
- His dance is a reference to the popular Robot dance.
- He shares this theme with Kog'Maw, Cho'Gath, Vel'Koz, Xerath, Urgot and Viktor.
- Given his quotes, the word "Alpha" in his name and the more simplistic technology compared to the other Battlecast "models", he might have been the very first of the Battlecast series, which was created by Viktor to collect the other champions for the Battlecast series.
- The quote "You have been chosen." is likely a reference to a scene in Toy Story.
- His model might be inspired by the classical Egyptian scorpion, which matches in color pattern.
- He somewhat resembles the scorpion from Lego's Scorpion Pyramid, part of the Pharaoh's Quest set.
- In his recall animations, Skarner makes a stance similar to how a Zerg would look like.
- The skin may be a reference to something out of Ahn'Qiraj from World of Warcraft.
- He shares this theme with Fiddlesticks, Rammus, Xerath and Kha'Zix.

After endorsing the assassination of President Obama, Fox News has continued to employee a controversial conservative figure.
It seems as if the American people are more politically divided today than ever before in history. While a good healthy debate from both sides is encourages, some people have a tendency to cross the line in ways that shouldn't be acceptable. Case in point one Michael Scheuer, former former CIA officer and analyst for CBS News. Scheuer has said many controversial statements in the past, with none getting as much negative press as the December 23, 2013 column he wrote for his website Non-Intervention.com. In his piece, Media Matter highlights Scheuer labeling both President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron as "tyrants," and endorsed their assassination.
"As they head further down the road of losing wars and wrecking Anglo-American liberties, Messrs Obama and Cameron and their supporters in all parties would do well to read the words of the great 17th century English republican Algernon Sidney, a man who was revered on both sides of the Atlantic, who greatly influenced America's founders, and who was executed by the British Crown for what it described as sedition. 'There must therefore be a right,' Sidney wrote...
...If he [a political leader] be justly accounted an enemy of all, who injures all; he above all must be the publick enemy of a nation, who by usurping power over them, does the greatest and most publick injury that a people can suffer. For which reason, by an established law among the most virtuous nations, every man might kill a tyrant; and no names are recorded in history with more honor, than of those who did it."
Media Matter reports that Scheuer has been a guest analyst for multiple Fox News shows through out the summer, most recently the August 1 edition of "Fox and Friends." During an appearance on Fox Business' "Lou Dobbs Tonight" in January, Scheuer accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of essentially murdering Americans during the attack on the U.S. in Benghazi, Libya.
What does this say about a news organization to continue to employee someone as a regular guest who has such an extreme view. It's no secret that Fox News is a right wing, conservative leaning news station. On the flip side, MSNBC is a left leaning news outlet, but MSNBC has and continues to promote itself as such. For Fox News to label themselves as the "fair and balanced" news source for millions of Americans, it says a lot about their credibility to have Michael Scheuer as a repeated guest.

I'm trying to represent "dependency" relationships between a large number of objects.
I don't want to have to bother with arranging where all the boxes sit on the screen, and having to reposition them every time I add an additional arrow.
I want to just type in the entities and specify the relationships, and as I do so, have the software shuffle everything around on the screen, in the most presentable way.
E.g. With the fewest number of crossing lines.
Is there any tool on the market that does this?

Editor's note: The Hult Prize is a start-up accelerator for social entrepreneurship which invites students from around the globe to solve the world's most pressing issues. Through crowdsourcing, training, mentorship and funding, the Hult Prize seeks to launch the next wave of social entrepreneurs. Six finalist teams will present their ideas at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting. The winner will be announced on September 23 in New York. The teams are presently completing a 6-week Accelerator Program (see story/photos here) at the IXL Center in Boston. The article below is written by Team Poshnam. Poshnam is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning healthy nurturing.
Poshnam: Delivering Nutrition to Underserved
Mitochondria are the tiniest powerhouses that support life and the living on planet earth. And to no one's surprise in particular, this system also comes with a limitation: what goes in defines its output. For individuals to be productive, what is fed into these powerhouses is of critical importance. The productivity and the progress of any nation are directly related to whether these individuals are well fed, or to be technically correct, the Food Security Index is addressed well or not. Henry David Thoreau once said, "It is not enough to be busy. The question is: what are we busy about?"
'Urban Slums' is a common consequential habitat structure that has evolved in most sub-Saharan and Asian countries shifting from agrarian to mass production based economic structure. This group faces the food security challenge as never before, due to high inflation and low-income levels. Unfortunately, this productive labor is often unaddressed by government policies and by NGOs — since majority of the families dwelling in urban slums are earning around $4 a day just enough to survive hunger.
Our global economy produces enough food each year to feed everyone but more than one-third of the food generated for human consumption continues to be lost or wasted due to inefficient and ineffective supply chain structures; mainly in developing countries and consumption patterns in developed nations. The question posed to us today is how we can nutritionally serve productive labor in these consequential habitats; realizing if this problem is not addressed now it will be addressed in the near future, but at far more critical level.
The underlying challenge is to come up with a well-defined solution that is simple and implementable for such a complex problem and of such a magnitude. At "Poshnam", we're addressing the global food crisis for 200 million urban slum dwellers with a clear objective of bringing nutritious food to their doorsteps at the lowest price every day. The team at Poshnam figured out after several ground surveys and expert opinions that 80% of problem lies in Asian and sub-Saharan region. This is mainly due to transit delays and added commissions due to middle agents in the existing supply chain network where the price of produce increases almost more than two fold times and the shelf life decreases drastically. This made the supply chain as one of the focal point of solution proposed by Poshnam, with the other focal point being the delivery channel to the urban slum dwellers.
How Poshnam addresses this challenge of food security
Poshnam focuses on the food leakages in the food supply chain in Asian and Sub-Saharan region, and redirecting these leakages to the urban slums dwellers to minimize the waste by 20% and price of food by 38%. Poshnam shapes the existing supply chain by creating a new market for produce that turn to waste if not consumed at right time. This produce can be sourced at various steps in the supply chain but Poshnam does it more effectively at the origination point, using an efficient cooperative system to map the supply with the aggregate demand of urban slums. Poshnam uses a distribution network of slum dwellers to distribute this produce at affordable prices. Poshnam infuses a changed behavior environment towards more nutrient rich diets through various means such as selling strategy, and other educational programs. Poshnam is in partnership with NGOs, agricultural organization at various value creation levels for value exchanges. On broader level, Poshnam addresses labor productivity, health, and employment issues of the urban slum dwellers.
Team Poshnam is the brainchild of four young MBA students from Asian Institute of Management, who have come together from diverse professional back-grounds to resolve this global food crisis. The team is diverse in terms of knowledge and skill set. Raj Bordia has experience in corporate strategy, operations and safety at Reliance Industries, Ravin Rapeti has entrepreneurial and IT background, Saurabh Bathla with operational experience at Reliance Industries limited and Shivesh Gaurav has worked on different technology platforms with organizations such as IBM, HP & Accenture. They hail from different industry sectors and are also involved in community service over the years.

Moral differences between killings
Wed Jun 30, 2010 06:27
I am not sure any anti on this board can make the moral distinction between the victim and the criminal, the innocent and the guilty, the crime and the punishment. That is what you antis do by equating execution and murder.
Killing in self defense, a just war and executions as a response to terrible crimes is morally licit.

This is the sixth post in a seven-part series related to Military Saves Week. All this week we've covered tips to help you secure your financial future; from eating healthy on a budget to contributing to your Thrift Savings Plan, and getting your kids saving, too. Check back tomorrow for a wrap up of the week.
Much of who I am today can be attributed to how my parents raised me. Their influence affected my perspectives on everything from politics and religion to my favorite movie genres and even my chosen career field.
I like to give my dad credit for the sensible approach I take to managing my personal finances as well.
He taught me by example that you don't need expensive cars and lots of things to be happy. He's always had a used truck that he insists on changing the oil in himself, and he only buys new clothes to replace what's worn out.
When I started my first job he showed me how to do my taxes, balance my checkbook and encouraged me to save my paycheck so I could buy my first car. A 1993 Dodge Shadow that I paid for without any help from him. Full disclosure: He paid for my insurance as long as I kept my grades up and paid for my own gas.
The most important lesson he passed onto me, though, was to never pay for anything with a credit card unless you had the cash to pay for it as well.
Today, my husband and I both drive cars that, while were purchased new, are paid off (I paid mine off in 14 months because I'd made a goal to do so before leaving active duty). We have an emergency savings account that could see us through three months of bills if one of us lost our job, and I'm still paying into it each month. When we do decide to splurge on something, like a vacation or television, we save up the money to pay for it before we make the purchase. That's why we were able to go to Hawaii and buy a new T.V. last year.
While I don't have kids of my own yet, I'd like to think that I will pass on the same lessons to them, because I want them to thrive financially as an adult so they don't have to, ahem live with me until they're 30.
That's also why Barbara Thompson[PDF], director of the Pentagon's office of family policy, children and youth, suggests you involve your kids in Military Saves Week too.
"During our Military Saves campaign it's not just the service member and his or her spouse. We partner with our schools because learning about financial literacy needs to start at a very early age. We're helping our children for the future so they won't be entering the military at 18 with $8,000 worth of credit card debt."
Need ideas for talking to your kids about saving their allowance? Watch this video with them, and be sure to visit the Military Youth Saves page for more resources and ideas.

Perhaps you were walking down a deserted hospital corridor, discussing in quiet tones the details of a patient's care with a fellow RN. Maybe a similar discussion took place with one or more nurses during a regular shift change report. Whatever the situation, the absence of visibly obvious "listening ears" does not mean no one is hearing your words.
A neonatal intensive care physician, who was hospitalized for three months after being severely injured in a bicycle accident, learned a lesson during her recovery that is of value to all who are involved in patient care.
Because of her injuries, including fractures that required traction, the doctor was limited to lying flat on her back, unable to see much of what was going on around her. She was also intubated for a time, which temporarily curtailed her ability to speak. Despite the doctor's limitations with verbal communication and visual observation, her sense of hearing was not compromised and she did plenty of listening, often hearing conversations not intended for her ears.
A dramatic example of what can happen when nurses let down their guard when discussing patient care occurred early in the physician's recovery period. Her injuries were severe and required several surgeries in the days following her accident. Her condition stabilized but she still required intensive care. As she lay in the ICU she overheard a conversation coming from the nurses' station questioning the care being given a patient: "Why are we continuing to (life) support her? Shouldn't we let her go?"
The doctor, her thoughts muddled by the effects of narcotics and the anesthesia administered earlier in the day, was convinced that she was the patient the nurses were discussing. Overcome by anxiety, she summoned a nurse and, although it was near midnight, insisted that her husband be called. She urgently asked him, "Am I going to die?" He calmly reassured her that, although her injuries had been life threatening initially, she was improving and making progress every day and she needn't worry about dying. Although the incident was at the forefront of her mind, it was weeks before she revealed that it was the nurses' words that had prompted her to make that frantic phone call.
Her lengthy recovery period gave the doctor more than ample time to relive the upsetting incident and she realized that she, too, had probably conducted sensitive conversations within earshot of families and patients who overheard and misinterpreted her words. She vowed that she would, thereafter, be actively aware of what she says and where and how loudly she says it.
It is good to be reminded that we need to be vigilant about privacy when engaged in confidential conversations. As nurses we know the importance of patient privacy and that of reassuring patients and family rather than upsetting them, so why do we so often slip up?
The doctor mentioned here thinks we unwittingly fall into a sort of complacency. Nurses are busy, and dealing with the immediacy of life and death must come first. As a result, we may unintentionally allow the finding of an optimum time and place for such discussions to drop a few notches on the priority list. Perhaps we think that a certain noise level—one caused by respirators and monitors—will drown out our words. The doctor's frightening experience should be the cliched wake-up call for all of us to be mindful that listeners, intentional or accidental, are everywhere whether or not we can see them.

Think About Who Might be Listening
Perhaps you were walking down a deserted hospital corridor, discussing in quiet tones the details of a patient's care with a fellow RN. Maybe a similar discussion took place with one or more nurses during a regular shift change report. Whatever the situation, the absence of visibly obvious "listening ears" does not mean no one is hearing your words.

Your blog posts are really interesting. I like this one because it's encouraging to see a healthcare professional advocating confidentiality and pointing out how it can be easy to slip up.
On a blogger's note, I would like to know if you would be interested in writing occassional guest blog posts for LydiasUniforms.com This is exactly the kind of material we would like to see on our blog.
If you are interested, e-mail me at email@example.com for more info.

Probably talking about patients, just to talk, is never a good idea.

I certainly agree with therapydoc that patients should never be casually discussed (just to talk). I was referring to necessary conversations about the patient and his/her care. We are sometimes lulled into a sort of complacency that results in being less than vigilent in ensuring those conversations do not reach unintended ears.

If your child is scheduled to have surgery or procedures (IV, NG, PICC Line, etc.), a Child Life Specialist is available to prepare and teach you and your child about what he or she may experience. The purpose of pre-operative teaching is to reduce anxiety and let the patient explore and ask questions about their surgery in a safe setting. Specialists use medical play, teaching dolls, real medical equipment, actual pictures of the rooms and people they will see, and a tour of the hospital to prepare children for surgeries and procedures. A pre-admit program is available before hospitalization to prepare children for upcoming surgeries.

TC TO LADY STANLEY ; 27 September 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590927-TC-LST-01; CL 35: 220
Scotsbrig, Ecclefechan 27 Septr 1859
Dear Lady Stanley,
I am just about lifting anchor from these localities; and do mean, my better genius1 advising me, to touch at Alderley, and see you all!
Thursday2 forenoon, by express, I embark at Carlisle; thro' Manchester, Stockport, to Alderley-Charley;3—am (if all go right) set down there at or about 5.55 p.m.; and shall look round for the hospitable blue liveries, and come whirling home in some vehicle still in time for dinner.
Since Lord Stanley is not there (whh I am very sorry for), I hope there will be none but yourselves;—the young Lasses and the elder,4 these surely ought to be enough to a quiet old man! On Saturday morning again I must go. My Wife is safe home; but not at all prosperous in the sleep department, so far as I can learn.
"Thursday Evg 5..55 O'clock": adieu till then.
If Thursday for any reason won't answer, you have still time to write again and stop me,—addressing "The Gill, Annan N.B." But I expect nothing of the sort. Yours ever truly
T. Carlyle

On Feb. 24, 2014, actor/director/screenwriter Harold Ramis died from complications from vasculitis at his Chicago-area home. He was 69. The Associated Press reports that Chris Day, a spokesman for United Talent Agency (which represented Ramis), announced Ramis' death, and said that Ramis was surrounded by family and friends at the time of his passing. Vasculitis is an auto-immune disease that causes inflammation and damage to blood vessels.
Ramis, an alum of the comedy troupe Second City, did several movies with other Second City alumni, such as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Ramis co-wrote "Animal House," "Ghostbusters," "Ghostbusters II," "Meatballs," "Caddyshack," "Stripes" and "Groundhog Day." Ramis co-starred in "Ghostbusters," "Ghostbusters II," "Stripes" and "Groundhog Day." As a movie director, his credits included "Caddyshack," Groundhog Day," "Analyze This" and "Analyze That." Ramis' last movie was 2009's "Year One," the Jack Black/Michael Cera film that Ramis co-starred in, co-wrote and directed.
After Ramis' death, Aykroyd issued a statement that he is "deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my brilliant, gifted, funny friend ... May he now get the answers he was always seeking."
Ramis' passing means that "Ghostbusters 3" might never be made. Ramis had been working on a "Ghostbusters 3" screenplay, but Murray reportedly rejected the screenplay and declined to participate in the movie, which was still in development.
In the months before Ramis' death, "Ghostbusters" director Ivan Reitman said in many interviews that he, Ramis and Aykroyd were still committed to making "Ghostbusters 3," but a script has not yet been approved by a studio. But with Ramis' passing and without Murray's participation, the movie is unlikely to be made. If there is another "Ghostbusters" movie ever made, it will probably be a remake with different actors starring in the movie.
Ramis is survived by his wife, Erica; sons Julian and Daniel; daughter Violet; and two grandchildren.

Magnolia Theatre
4403 W. Magnolia Boulevard,
2 people favorited this theater
The Magnolia Theatre was another ill-fated Burbank movie house. It had a rather ordinary Art Moderne facade and a very well maintained auditorium. It closed in 1979 and has been used most recently as a recording studio.

The Magnolia Theater appears in this YouTube clip of an episode of "Electrawoman and Dyna Girl".

I posted back in 2008 that I have the original box office plate glass, four sides, with art deco scrolls from this theatre. I've been considering donating the the Burbank historical society, but if someone is interested in making me an offer, contact me. I also have an original art deco mirror from the lobby.
The top photo is a still capture from the 1954 Fred MacMurray/Kim Novak film Pushover, which aired a couple days ago on Turner Classic Movies – there was also a nice shot of the original marquee (which was totally different from the one in the ElectraWoman and DynaGirl episode).
I was inquiring about the items that you have for the Magnolia Theatre. I am the new owner of it and would be interested in the items that you have. Could you please contact me at . Thank you…. Shawn
P.S. If anyone has any great pictures of this theatre I would be interested in purchasing those as well…..
As a resident of Burbank, I would love to see this terrific old theater restored to its former glory and used as a revival house/live venue.
Shawn (Juronimoo), what can you tell us about the building since you've acquired it? I have to assume that the floor is leveled and there's little left to suggest it had been a theatre, but are there any artifacts left? Wall hangings, light fixtures, sconces, anything?
The Magnolia Theater, 1944.
This is Virgil. I'm sure you remember me? Did you stay in contact with Ron and if so, where is he at these days.
Watched Pushover with Fred McMurray and Kim Novak today – the Magnolia Theater was in it.

College Hockey:Northeastern rallies to tie Vermont
BURLNGTON — Vermont's first-period lead evaporated as the game wore on, and Vermont and Northeastern skated to a 2-2 tie at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
Senior captain Tyler McNeely scored the game-tying goal just seconds into the third period for Northeastern. Freshman Luke Eibler also recorded a goal for the Huskies while junior Drew MacKenzie and sophomore Chris McCarthy netted the goals for the Catamounts.
"The first two periods, I was happy with the way we played," Northeastern coach Greg Cronin said.
"It just seems like pucks are finding a way into the back of our net in strange ways and it's not going in for us as easy," Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon said. "It's disappointing. I think we did a lot of good things in the third period; we did everything but put the puck in the net,"
The Catamounts struck first in the game at 7:01. Senior Brett Leonard picked up a pass from freshman Matt White and Leonard sent the puck to a waiting MacKenzie near the Northeastern net. MacKenzie sent a one-timer past sophomore goaltender Chris Rawlings to put the Catamounts on top 1-0.
The Huskies tried to retaliate with a goal of their own soon after, but senior Josh Burrows intervened and stopped a Northeastern shot from passing the goal line.
Vermont failed to score during a five-on-three power-play opportunity when Northeastern freshman Anthony Bitetto was sent to the box for holding, along with Eibler for cross checking at 10:19. Senior Dan Lawson came close to capitalizing at 11:30, but his shot from the point hit the post instead of hitting the back of the net.
"I don't think it [the five-on-three] changed our momentum because I thought we actually did a pretty good job on it," Sneddon said. "Obviously, you want to score on five-on-three and I think we hit two posts and had a couple real close calls. Rawlings, obviously a tough guy to beat he's a pretty big body back there. I wasn't too disappointed in that, I don't think it really stole momentum by any means."
The Catamounts increased their lead at 10:28 in the second period, this time converting on the power play. While Northeastern sophomore Drew Ellement was serving a holding penalty, Rawlings made the initial save on a shot from Vermont sophomore Sebastian Stalberg. McCarthy was waiting though, and when his attempt to knock in the rebound was unsuccessful, he found the puck again and still managed to knock it in.
Northeastern cut the lead in half quickly after at 11:13. Eibler's wrist shot from the right circle got past sophomore goalie Rob Madore and brought the score to 2-1.
McNeely had a breakaway at 15:50 and tried to tie the game, but he couldn't get the puck past Madore.
McNeely got his revenge very early the third period though at 26 seconds. After a shot from Eibler deflected off a player, McNeely was able to collect it and he sent it past Madore on the glove side.
This forced the game into overtime, as neither team was able to score in the remaining minutes of the third period.
"After we scored, Vermont took their game up to another level and we weren't able to match it," said Cronin. "Part of that inability to match was our unwillingness to get pucks deep. We kept turning pucks over, we didn't get pucks out of our zone so Vermont was able to sustain pressure and I think they fed off that momentum all the way down to the end."
In the final minute of the overtime period, the puck was dangling close to Northeastern's goal line. Rawlings took control though and covered the puck with his glove, preserving the tie.

TC TO WILLIAM STIRLING ; 21 August 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520821-TC-WS-01; CL 27: 241-242
Scotsbrig, 21 Augt, 1852
Dear Stirling,
I should really have been delighted to see you and your beautiful country, which I only glanced at once many years ago: and had your hospitable admonition reached me at Linlathen, or indeed anywhere while time still was, my consent must have been prompt and full of hope! But alas, I go for Germany in five days hence; and have not now either time or spirits for any other expedition whatever. In fact it is dire Fate, in a manner, that is driving me thither; Fate, shame, Necessity, and what is figured as the "Call of Duty";—and I believe many a gentleman has set out for Botany Bay1 (on Queen's rations) with less reluctance than I now for this briefer adventure beyond the narrow seas. Certainly of all travellers hitherto discovered I am the worst; and therefore not unnaturally the unwillingest.
My Brother has been about Edinr last week, but is to be here the day after tomorrow; I will not fail to deliver your message, which I think may well prove enticing to him either now or soon.
Give my kind regards to the Captain and Mrs S.2 of whose pilgrimings I had already heard something.
You never sent me the Book on Charles V and his cloisters:3 I shall be back (let us hope) before your Parliament meet, or you hear the Hebrew stump-orator4 from your place!—
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

Faith and begorrah! Bushmills Irish Whiskey, one of only three major distilleries of the uisce beatha ("water of life" in Gaelic) recently released Bushmills Irish Honey exclusively in the United States. One can only wonder why. Although Irish Whiskey sales surpass single malt Scotch by volume according to DISCUS, the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S., there's a vast untapped demographic: women.
Fred Minnick of The Tasting Panel magazine recently quoted Yvonne Briese, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Whisk(e)y at Bushmills Owner, Diageo North America saying: "This [growth] trend is really around male-bonding occasions. So where previously guys would have gone out for a few beers, they're now going out and having a few beers and also choosing Irish whiskey." Bushmills U.S. marketing likely wants to create women-bonding occasions around Irish Honey. Thus, Master Distiller Colum Egan added a touch of Irish honey and other natural flavors (?!) to Bushmills Original, bottled at Ireland's oldest working distillery in Bushmills Village, Co. Antrim, where King James I granted Sir Thomas Phillips the first official distillation license in 1608. Everything is produced under Bushmills roof, the malting (barley), distilling, maturing, blending and bottling.
Irish Honey joins a fine portfolio which includes Original, Black Bush, and the single malts of ages 10, 16, and 21 years.
Thing is, Bushmills Original is already exceptionally smooth, with notes of vanilla, almond, and fruit inside. Irish Honey is still tasty and smooth, but a wee bit tacky to the throat. The Irish thus follow American whiskey producers Jack Daniels and Wild Turkey in releasing honeyed expressions. Are they gilding the lily, honeying the sugar? Perhaps. But if a spoonful of honey helps the whiskey medicine go down, it's worth it. Ladies, feel free to start with Irish honey, but please try a Bushmills Original after that. Comment below on which you prefer.
And what would March 17 be without the classic Irish Coffee recipe? Coming from Dublin's Shannon Airport to the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco, this should keep everyone warm and lucky on this wet St. Patrick's Day in California.
Irish Coffee
- 1.5 oz. Irish Whiskey (try it with Bushmills Irish Honey)
- 1 oz simple or brown sugar syrup* or two sugar cubes (I'd reduce this by half if using Irish Honey)
- 4 oz. coffee
- Lightly whippsed unsweetened cream
Combine whiskey, coffee, and syrup in an Irish Coffee glass. Ladle a layer of cream 25mm thick on top.
* Simple or brown sugar syrup: boil equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, cool and store up to a month in the fridge
Drink responsibly. It's bad enough here when the roads are soaked, we don't need to add a bunch of drunks to the mess. Sláinte!
Disclosure: Bushmills sent me a 750ml bottle of of Bushmills Irish Honey for review.

"The Situation" Mike Sorrentino Tweets His Cell Phone Number?
UPDATE: Sorrentino 'fessed up to pulling a prank earlier on Monday. "Phone blew up haha good thing it wasn't mine!! That will teach@petey_d_ to mess with the master of pranks!" he tweeted with the hashtag "#pranksgiving."
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Mike Sorrentino claimed he had a situation.
The "Jersey Shore" star said he accidentally tweeted his cell phone number to his 1.4 million Twitter followers on Monday, then followed up the supposed gaffe with a string of jokes on his The Situation nickname.
It all started when Sorrentino tweeted, "Yeah babe call me maybe: 732-939-2906-dm, don't give out , Sitch."
The somewhat suspicious message was followed by an "Oo sh:::t… By accident."
Rather than delete the original tweet, Sorrentino began retweeting followers who joked about his "mistake."
He wrote, "My phone is ringing off the hook… We def have a Situation."
Sorrentino added, "Phone does not Stop ringing… Ahhh fuxk me… Luv u guys btw lmao."
He then wrote, "Phone company called : he's like u got a situation buddy , I'm like thanks man but I'm the Situation !"
And so on.
Stunt? Snafu?
