Voters in 37 school districts in Erie and Niagara counties will get their say today on school spending.
And this year, like last, the tax cap loomed large in the way districts crafted their proposed budgets.
All except two school boards in the two counties have proposed spending plans for 2013-14 that would keep the proposed tax increases at or below the state limits for each district. For those seeking to exceed the cap – Clarence and Lewiston-Porter – voter turnout for the typically quiet school elections could be higher than usual.
"I think we're going to have an increase in the voter turnout just because of the nature of the beast of what we're asking for," said R. Christopher Roser, superintendent of Lewiston-Porter schools, where the proposed budget would reduce spending but increase taxes to make up for lost revenue. "I don't know if that's going to be more negative votes or more positive votes."
In Clarence, where voters will be asked to approve a 9.8 percent increase in the amount of taxes collected, allegations of sign stealing and vandalism surfaced ahead of today's budget vote in a community that has seen active campaigning for and against the budget proposal.
Many districts took a cue from last year's school board elections, when 99 percent of the districts across the state that proposed budgets within the cap passed, compared with a 60 percent passage rate in those that sought to exceed it.
"What we're seeing is that, by and large, districts are coming in under the cap," said David Albert of the New York School Boards Association, which has calculated that 96 percent of the school districts across the state will present school budgets to voters today that are within the state-imposed tax cap.
Though the state's tax cap law, which took effect last year, includes a base 2 percent cap on increasing taxes for school districts, the actual limit for almost all districts in Erie and Niagara counties is above that amount because of exclusions allowed in the formula used to calculate the cap for each district. Next year, payments for teacher pensions will increase dramatically for school districts as the Teachers' Retirement System makes up for losses during the recession. That increase is factored into the tax cap calculation.
All except two districts in Erie and Niagara counties have proposed budgets that would increase the amount of taxes collected, with the average tax increase across the districts at 3.3 percent. Two districts – Lackawanna and Cheektowaga-Sloan – have proposed budgets that would keep tax revenue flat or decrease it slightly.
Districts that have proposed budgets that exceed a state-imposed cap require at least 60 percent voter approval to pass. All other districts will require at least 50 percent voter approval to pass.
If a budget fails, a school district can submit the same proposal or a new proposal again to voters in June. If the second budget proposal fails to pass, the district must adopt a contingency budget that would not increase the tax levy.

In this video, we discuss the Document Object Model, explaining how the web browser parses and creates the DOM from HTML5 code, the purpose of the window and document objects, the built-in API functions for accessing parts of the DOM, and more.
Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks for this video, it explains a lot.
Bob, another option to window.onload event would be to declare the JS file at the bottom of the HTML page. In that case first DOM will get loaded and then JS. I'm not sure whether its a right approach, but I have seen many HTML pages with JS declared in the bottom half. Can you please clarify on this?
HonraoPrasad, its good idea to put any other script or style below html, because to increase performance of the page loading, such that when page gets loaded it can then be configured to.
Re-opening this closed thread ...
Thank you Bob,
I have a question.
document.getElementById('clickMe').onclick = runTheExample;
//why is runTheExample, not runTheExample()?
When should I put a (), and when I shouldn't put () ?
Thank you!
@Yumikokk: Great question. The open-close parenthesis ( ) operator tells the JavaScript execution engine to EXECUTE THE FUNCTION NOW. PULL THE TRIGGER! However, without the parenthesis, we're merely pointing to a function. So, in that code, we're saying WHEN someone performs a click on the element called clickMe, THEN pull the trigger.
If we put parenthesis on that line:
document.getElementById('clickMe').onclick = runTheExample();
... then we will fire the function right away. That's not what we want. We want to fire it off when the clickMe is clicked.
Does that help?

An appeal on behalf of Lake Geneva history
Patrick Quinn
click for larger version
June 11, 2013 | 02:51 PM
Times change. And so do the keepers of Lake Geneva's unique history. In the 19th Century, the keeper of Lake Geneva's history was James Simmons, but he passed away as the century was ending.
We are fortunate that his superb, unsurpassed history of Lake Geneva in the 19th Century, "Annals of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, 1835-1897", survived and was reissued in a new format by the Geneva Lake Museum last year. Simmons' successors as keepers of Lake Geneva's history,
Eva Seymour Lundahl and Alice Denison Hackett, are also gone. Eva Seymour Lundahl was the granddaughter of Moses Seymour, who came to Geneva from Vermont with James Simmons in 1843. Alice Denison Hackett was the daughter of E. D Denison, for whom the Central-Denison School is named, and was the granddaughter of John Burton, one of Lake Geneva's most well-known 19th-Century businessmen.
Recently Lake Geneva has lost several more keepers of its history, including Gretchen Allen, Wilma Habacker Bailey Jacobson, Sam Gonzalez, Ken Schneider, Larry Magee, and John Fedorovich. It also lost the owner of the Breadloaf Bookstore, Kevin Vail, who was very interested in Lake Geneva's history.

With the passing of these and other individuals, Lake Geneva's collective historical memory has been greatly diminished. Fortunately we still have Ken Etten, Ginny Hall, John Halverson, Bruce Johnson, Vern Magee, Burly Brellenthin, and Doug Elliot, among others, as well as the many volunteers, who, under the leadership of Karen Walsh and James Gee, sustain the Geneva Lake Museum.
But as times change and the keepers of Lake Geneva's history pass away, we who remain, as well as future generations of Lake Geneva residents, will necessarily have to rely even more on the published and unpublished historical documentary records of Lake Geneva's history held by the Lake Geneva Public Library, the Geneva Lake Museum, the Wisconsin Historical Society, and the Area Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Library.
Among the most useful documentary historical sources held by the Lake Geneva Public Library are the microfilmed copies of Lake Geneva's newspapers and the yearbooks of the Lake Geneva High School and Badger High School. But sadly, many LGHS and BHS yearbooks are missing from the collections of Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum.
I am therefore appealing to readers of the Lake Geneva Regional News to rectify this lamentable situation by donating old LGHS and BHS yearbooks in their possession to the Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum in order to fill the gaps in their invaluable collections of Lake Geneva High School and Badger High School yearbooks.
Another excellent source for Lake Geneva's history would be the compilation of oral histories of Lake Geneva based upon the memories of longtime Lake Geneva residents. Perhaps Bruce Johnson could be persuaded to conduct oral history interviews with such longtime Lake Genevans as Burly Brellenthin, Sturg Taggert, Muriel Malsch, Buzz Braden,Vern Magee, Doug Gerber, and Clyde Boutelle, just to mention a few people with superb memories of Lake Geneva's history.
Copies of these oral histories could be deposited at the Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum, where future residents of the city would find them to be invaluable historical resources.
But filling the gaps in Lake Geneva High school and Badger High School yearbooks held by the Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum is the most urgent priority if we wish to preserve Lake Geneva's history for future generations. The Lake Geneva Public Library is missing Badger High School yearbooks for the years 1970, 1976, 1977, 1982, 1984, 2011, and 2012.
The situation with Lake Geneva High School yearbooks is even more egregious. Rather than listing all of the missing LGHS yearbooks, suffice it to say that the Lake Geneva Public Library would greatly appreciate the donation of any LGHS yearbooks between 1958 and the date that the first LGHS yearbook was published, which was around 1911. The LGPL will offer any duplicate yearbooks it receives to the Geneva Lake Museum.
I really do hope that the readers of the Lake Geneva Regional News will respond to this appeal and donate LGHS and BHS yearbooks to the Lake Geneva Public Library. I issue this appeal not only on behalf of the Lake Geneva Public Library (and the Geneva Lake Museum), but on behalf of Lake Geneva's history and the records that document it.

Look out, New Jersey: Here comes McConaughey!
The famed polo classic, to be held on June 1 at the Garden State's Liberty State Park, will boast Matthew McConaughey as one of its co-hosts, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The dad of three will share hosting duties with polo star Nacho Figueras, his wife Delfina Blaquier and Veuve Clicquot U.S. President Vanessa Kay.
The classic has quite a history of, well, hot guys. Last year's event was hosted by Clive Owen, and the previous year Hugh Jackman was master of ceremonies. Even Prince Harry got in on the action when he played there in 2009 and 2010.
This year's match will benefit McConaughey's Just Keep Livin Foundation a charity started by the actor and his wife Camilla to empower high school students to lead active lives, and Liberty Park, which was damaged in Superstorm Sandy last fall.

Dace Richardson held a job he enjoyed in an area of the country that appealed to him. He'd traded in his shoulder pads for a job with one of the nation's most recognizable rental car chains.
The former Iowa offensive tackle hadn't played football in almost two years. Earlier this month, the Arena League's Iowa Barnstormers called Richardson's agent. They invited him in for a tryout.
The Barnstormers signed the former all-Big Ten performer on the spot. He played in the game the week of the tryout and another one since then.
"I just love the game of football," the Chicago-area native said. "I had a regular job that I liked, but in the back of my mind I was always thinking that I could still do the football thing. I watched guys that I played against that I felt I was just as good as or better. I just felt like if I got the chance, I could do it."
After playing his final season at Iowa in 2009, Richardson attempted to make the NFL. The New York Giants worked him out, but then cut him. He returned to Iowa City and was employed as a waiter.
Setbacks were nothing new to Richardson. He missed almost two years of his Iowa career to injury, which included a season-ending ankle surgery that occurred midway through his senior year.
"My body just wasn't fully healthy," Richardson said of his first round of pro football. "I was coming off of an ankle surgery. I wasn't fully heeled. I needed about a year to get right."
Family helped keep him focuse on returning to football. Former teammates, Tony Moeaki and Pat Angerer, did, too.
"I've been in constant contact with Tony and I've talked to Pat (Angerer) here and there," Richardson said. "They just told me to keep my head up and keep focused. That encouragement has helped a lot."
Richardson suited up for his first action on the gridiron in nearly two years on July 7. The Barnstormers knocked off the Kansas City Command, 54-27, on the road.
"It felt great," Richardson said. "It's great to be back out there and hit people and being physical. It's definitely something that I missed."
Richardson was protecting a fellow Iowa football alum in quarterback Brad Banks, who finished second in the 2002 Heisman Trophy balloting.
It's definitely different," Richardson said of the arena game. "Everything is fast-paced. One thing I like about it is there is a lot of one-on-one (match-ups). You go against the guy in front of you. It showcases your pass-blocking ability."
Richardson said when he's not working on Saturdays, he's in front of the TV watching Iowa. He hopes to return to Iowa City for a game this season. He's trying to keep track of the Hawkeye coaching moves, which includes his old offensive line coach, Reese Morgan, now tutoring the defensive line.
"I talked to (Morgan) about a week ago and we were talking about all the coaching changes," Richardson said. "The guy that coached me is now the D-line coach and a guy (Brian Ferentz) I played with is now the offensive line coach."
Richardson returns to the field with a finish line in sight.
"The goal would be to get an opportunity to work out for an NFL team and possibly get an invite to camp," he said. "Right now, I just need to work on my fundamentals to put myself in position to be ready if I do get invited to an NFL camp."
The best part for Richardson these days is being able to play without injury.
"I feel like I'm almost where I was health wise as when I was coming out of high school," he said. "I'm still working to get quicker and faster, but I feel like I'm right there where I want to be - playing football again."

Building a Body for Bond, Batman and More
For Bobby Holland Hanton, jumping off a rooftop is all in a day's work.
Watch Off Duty Videos on YouTube
A professional stuntman, Mr. Holland Hanton has leapt from roof to roof for actor Daniel Craig in "Quantum of Solace," jumped from buildings for Christian Bale in "The Dark Knight Rises" and scaled castle walls for Jake Gyllenhaal in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time."
Moviegoers may spot him driving a car in "Skyfall," the new James Bond movie, or executing a move for Chris Hemsworth in the "Thor" sequel now filming and set to be released next year.
"The level of stunts now in film and the level of action—they just keep raising the bar," he says. "It means I have to train harder."
The 28-year-old, who is British, keeps a rigorous, twice-a-day workout schedule and strict diet in both the lead up to the filming and during shooting. Along with preparing for the stunts he performs, he must also build muscles to match the physique of the star for whom he is doubling.
Mr. Holland Hanton has been interested in fitness since the age of 4, when he began training as a gymnast. His workouts then were based on competing on the sport's different apparatuses: He sought upper-body strength for the rings and worked on his legs for the vault. But a sizable growth spurt around his 16th birthday cut his career short.
A few years later, Mr. Holland Hanton responded to a newspaper ad looking for acrobats and wound up doing stunts for live shows, such as a high-dive routine at Legoland in the U.K. The experience led him to work with a commercial agency, which got him working with brands, including doubling for soccer star David Beckham on an Adidas spot.
He then began training to qualify for the British Stunt Register, which required him to master skills in several areas, including fighting (martial arts and/or boxing) and falling (trampolining and/or high diving). His jumping and acrobatic abilities earned him an audition for his first movie role, doubling Mr. Craig in "Quantum of Solace," released in 2008. "It was really a dream come true," Mr. Holland Hanton says.
Recently, he landed a role where plays himself, as a spokesman for Dove's Men + Care division.
The Workout
Eight to 12 weeks before shooting begins, Mr. Holland Hanton starts preparing for a role by testing stunts, understanding the fight-scene choreography and researching the physical condition of the star—and the physical condition the actor wants to be in for the film.
He works out twice a day for five or six days a week, with at least one day of complete rest each week.
Highflying Roles
Among stunt man Bobby Holland Hanton's highlights and challenges:
- In 'The Dark Knight Rises,' he hit a wall, fell 100 feet, then slammed back into the wall.
- In 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,' scaling castle walls was a grind given the shoulder-restricting chest plate of armor he wore.
- In a 'Quantum of Solace' chase scene, he jumped from roof to roof.
- In 'Green Lantern,' he showed his acrobatic skills during a scene in which he did a back somersault kick slip to kick away a canister thrown at him.
Mr. Holland Hanton's first workout is around lunchtime. He begins with a light, 10-minute jog on a treadmill to warm up his muscles. Mr. Holland Hanton then goes into a training circuit, beginning with a 90-second sprint on the treadmill at a steep incline. He then does 12 underarm chin ups, 12 dips, 12 push ups with his feet raised on a bench, 30 squats and 25 calf raises on each leg. The circuit takes around two minutes. He repeats it four more times, for a total of five sets, with no rest in between.
Mr. Holland Hanton says he prefers exercises where he is lifting his own body weight, like squats and dips, rather than using free weights. "The old-school kind of training regime works for me," he says. "I need to be able to throw my body around however I'm asked to. I don't want to be too bulky."
Weights enter the equation at the end of the day—after rehearsals or shooting—when Mr. Holland Hanton returns to the gym to focus on whatever muscle group needs to appear most prominent for that job. For "Thor: The Dark World," he is now stunting for Mr. Hemsworth, who is particularly muscular with big arms. "Chris is in the most incredible shape I've ever seen anyone," Mr. Holland Hanton says.
So, between sprints, he focuses on exercises like bicep curls and tricep pull downs.
The circuit training approach works well for him, he says, because it shocks his system. He often changes the order or number of repetitions. "You never get used to what you are doing because it's different things in short spurts."
The Diet
Of all the things his job requires, Mr. Holland Hanton says the diet is the most difficult. "I didn't realize how hard it would be psychologically," he says.
As a teen, Mr. Holland Hanton says he ate whatever he wanted with no consequences. He continued that approach through his first couple of movies, often skipping breakfast or eating a candy bar for energy before a workout.
That began to change two years ago, when Mr. Holland Hanton wasn't getting as lean as he needed to be. Beginning with "Green Lantern," he began experimenting with diet restrictions. For his current film, he has placed himself on a diet with no white carbohydrates and dairy and small meals every two hours. He never eats until he is full, which he says helps keep his body from storing food.
Each morning, Mr. Holland Hanton eats within a half-hour of waking. Breakfast is protein-packed, including two boiled eggs with a chicken breast or tuna on a bed of spinach with avocado. He has small snacks at specific times all day long, ranging from nuts and blueberries to more chicken and tuna. He mixes in nonstarchy vegetables, such as broccoli and "good" carbohydrates, like brown rice or sweet potatoes. Once a week, he enjoys a "cheat day," with something like bread or chocolate.
The Music
Mr. Holland Hanton says he trains so much that it gets "repetitive" so he listens to music to keep his mind occupied. He prefers upbeat, dance tunes while training and as motivation before a big stunt. One go-to song on his iPhone is the theme from the movie "Rocky."
The Sleep Pattern
Mr. Holland Hanton says he tries to get at least eight hours of sleep every night.
His job taxes "not just your muscles but your mind," he says. "You need eight hours to recover." If he has a night shoot, Mr. Holland Hanton will sleep eight hours the following day.

Berts been excellent, Berts been way better than we ever could have hoped when we got him back the second time (in August 2009), Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. Hes playing way better than I ever anticipated without the puck, way more committed that way. Hes become a real important part of our team.
Hes a great guy and a great teammate and a good person, and Im thrilled to have him here.

I've always liked the guy, and he's seriously becoming one of my favourite Wings. Like Mike said, his work defensively, his willingness to back check has been superb so far this season, the best I've ever seen in that regard. Loving the second line.

Other than the lump in the stomach, all too near the heart, there isn't much to say about a fall downstairs. I believe everyone takes an occasional such incident. Most people don't talk about it at all. It hurts; it's embarrassing, maybe it's better left alone, kept locked up, unspoken. Failure is no fun.
But possibly a more important quality is that failure depicts who you are, really. Success tries to define you, but winning does not take character, although ultimately character is the name of all games. Failure, on the other hand, asks quickly, all too quickly, "What's next?" It wants to know if it has the upper hand. It wants to be the lead character in your personal drama. Whether you will let it, or not, can become your shining moment. If you allow it to define you, then suddenly, you become a failure, but taking the next step can be a step upstairs again, a step in the right direction.
If you pick yourself up after the fall, brush off the leaves, tidy up the scraped knees and move along to whatever is next, your character has been defined as someone who is not a loser, but is a trouper. Troupers keep moving. They see the work to be done, and lend a hand. This motion-after-a-fall is easier said than done. Weep, wail, moan, howl, but after that, keep going.
The fine art of learning from the past should not be discounted. What did I do wrong? What did I leave undone? What could I have done differently? These are all questions that need careful consideration, but not from someone with a losing mentality. It does no good to simply say, "I lost, I failed, I didn't get it" – whatever the prize. To rationally look at your part in the failure is a good measure of growth, taking responsibility.
And therein is the secret. The victim says, "They did it to me." The ultimate winner says, "What can I do better?"
I recently lost an election. Now that has happened in the past, often. When I start out as the underdog it is not so surprising, and seems to be less injurious with each loss. But to have won, and then to lose is an entirely new ball game. So I spit, swore, cried, stomped my foot. But in the end, answers, and there were few, were the same. Review the plan. See what could have been done better. Find out what's next and move on.
The sun does shine, even after the lost job, the lost love, the misplaced contract. See the little things that remain untarnished by the single losing event. Who loves you? Whom do you love? What does that person need? What was lost in the failed effort that now needs to be regained? Was it family? Yes, Chris, I will read the funnies with you. Was it friendship? Let's have coffee tomorrow morning. Was it self-identity? "I am, I cried!"
The everyday stuff that was neglected in an effort to win now needs tending. Things were passed by; now they need repair. Relationships need attention. The act of renewing friendships can be especially rewarding. Other people – whom we admire, like, help, are helped by – emphasize a portion of our own identity that we don't even recognize. (Not only am I alive, someone cares that I'm alive.)
Sometimes when we lose – be it an election, a lover, a job, a tooth – we find something infinitely more important. We can find self in that state. We can reshape our own identity in a far better way because we've faced the world and grown.
Terri Mudd, who lives in Lewiston, tries to maintain a winning mentality, even when she loses.

BACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) and GAMMA (Greeks Advocating for Mature Management of Alcohol) are part of a national student organization of which Valparaiso University is a recognized chapter.
One of the goals of BACCHUS/GAMMA is to confront commonly shared and often dangerous attitudes towards drinking that can make an entire college community tolerant of irresponsibility. BACCHUS encourages moderation, the use of positive peer pressure to discourage irresponsible use of alcohol, and the promotion of alternative social behavior patterns. The group currently meets weekly in addition to the programs and activities that it sponsors.
Part of the BACCHUS/GAMMA philosophy is that students can play a uniquely effective role--unmatched by professional educators--in encouraging their peers to talk honestly about and develop responsible attitudes toward the use or non-use of alcohol.
We make an effort to work closely with and be involved with as many other student groups as possible, including Student senate, Union Board, Greek life, International service program, athletics and other groups.
Members of BACCHUS/GAMMA are involved in freshman orientation and students in the community, the Spring Break Awareness Campaign, Mocktail bars (non-alcoholic beverage service), and other services to the campus and the community. The club is open to all with the condition that members be willing to model moderate behavior. If you are interested in checking out the club, please call OADE at 464-6820, and leave your name, number or email address. A BACCHUS/GAMMA representative will contact you.

So, a few years ago I received this pen as a graduation gift and I loved it. But, within a few months I had issues with the cartridge not fully extending. Levenger replaced the pen, but unfortunately the replacement had the same problem. So, they replaced it a second time. Second time was apparently the charm and I have had zero issues with the pen. It performs as expected, and looks fantastic. The black on the pen wears at the edges over time, which makes the whole thing look better and better everyday. This is my every day work pen and I would never go anywhere without it.

I really, really want to like this pen. Sadly, as soon as I started using the pen it gave me problems. Well, really only one problem, but still a pretty obnoxious one - the cartridge does not extend fully from the pen, so I am left with a tiny nub to write with. It works great if I write with the pen perfectly straight up, but if I tilt it just a but too much the tip loses contact with the paper.

Great Writing Instrument
By Seamus
from Bellevue, Nebraska
I ordered this pen in black, and I am pleased to have done so. Not only is it a great writing instrument, but it is also beautiful. It fits very nicely in my hand, it is somewhat heavy, but very well balanced, and the checkered part of the lower barrel enables a firm yet comfortable finger grasp of the pen. Its sleek design and superb function promotes excellent writing technique. I recommend this to anyone who takes writing seriously, and wants a pen of which they want to be proud.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

rugged feel, good performance

superior writing with a strong and high tech touch
The Stealth
By AmericanGypsy
from Westport, CT
I work in the Aerospace Industry and can appreciate the analogous reference to the name. But, the quality of the pen is left a bit short. The engaging mechanism "clicks" with a squeaking sound and the threads that assemble the bottom to the top are rough and not smooth. A bit of emery paper did the trick but the customer shouldn't have to do that.But these aside, the pen is comfortable and I happen to like the style - very distinctive. I would recommend this and have ordered a few more.
By TraditionalScholar
from Undisclosed
I Purchased this pen at sale price, but not sure why list price is so high. Ballpoint is much shorter and thinner than rollerball (wish I had purchased rollerball instead). For those looking for a nice ballpoint, any Tru Writer offered by Levenger would be a better purchase.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Pen
By Kmrueb
Well-crafted. Solid metal pen, good weight for a thinner writing instrument. Great customer service as well. I was initially overcharged for shipping. I asked about the high priced shipping and received a refund on the shipping amount due to error.

nice but overpriced
By booby
from Darnestown, MD
i have the l-tech pen and like it; wanted to add the stealth to my collection but felt it was (also) way overpriced. finally it went on sale, and i have it. it seems to work perfectly, and feels sturdy enough.
By Mikey
from Cedartown, GA
While this pen looks nice, feels good in the hand, and writes good, I feel that it is overpriced for the quality you get. I have much less expensive pens that write as well and look as good as this one.In all fairness, I have not had the pen long enough to judge the quality of the mechanism that extends and retracts the refill.The pen itself is fairly sturdy, but not enough to merit the purchase price.
Merchant response: Thank you so much for your detailed review of the L-Tech Stealth Ballpoint. We understand your concern with this item and have forwarded your comments to our Product Design Team for further review. We stand by our products and go the extra mile to ensure that our customers are delighted with every purchase. I will send you a personal email on how we can take care of this for you.
Good but can be much better
By MattD
from Yorba Linda, Ca
I would first like to say the look, weight, and feel of the pen are exceptional. It writes very smoothly and I enjoy using it. With that said, when I received the pen, it seems as though it had been used before. The ink cartridge is worn and scratched all over and the box the pen came in wasn't in that great of shape. I know shipping could been the reason for the box, but the ink refill has clearly been used and worn. Also, the clicking mechanism is very rough and makes a scratching/ squeaking noise whenever it is clicked.
Merchant response: Please accept our apologies. Your pen should not have arrived scratched. We will send you a replacement to remedy this issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Really like this pen!
By jbrac
from New Haven, KY
I've only had this pen a couple of weeks, but I haven't even picked up any of my others since receiving this one. The only thing I have noticed that may not be good is the threads don't feel quite perfect(there is a little wiggle all the way down until its tight). Other than that, I really is the perfect one for me! Thanks!

Product Details
The 43" Optical White Collapsible Umbrella is partnered with an 8' light stand and adjustable bracket for an essential on-the-go speedlite modification kit.
Building umbrellas for over 110 years, Westcott was the first to bring the collapsible telescoping shaft to the photo industry. This 43" umbrella's all-metal shaft collapses down to only 14.5", making it small enough to fit into a backpack or gear bag.The shaft is finished off with a 7mm tapered tip allowing for use with many specialty lights on the market. Some of these lights have a 7mm catch pin making them difficult to find modifiers that will work with them correctly. Our catch pin insures a perfect fit with most popular lights.
The hexagonal design of this umbrella shaft also provides 3x the strength of a normal round shaft. Pair this with the solid steel insert, and it's no wonder our umbrella shafts are some of the toughest in the market. Frame tips are constructed of all metal and are finished with an 8-count thread pass providing quality construction and product durability.
Working with some of the finest fabric mills worldwide for over 110 years, Westcott umbrellas also feature quality diffusion fabrics. Our fabrics are produced using superior materials and offer a standard one-year warranty against manufacturers defects. An included nylon travel case and additional PVC carry case help to protect your umbrella from getting dirty or stained. Simply add a flash to this inclusive kit for complete lighting both on-location and in-studio.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The S&P 500 closed at a five-year high for the reasons I've mentioned many times in this column. It's very close to an all-time high. Look back to all we've been through the past five years - the financial crisis, a steep recession, deficits in the trillions, the problems in Europe, and more. Still, stocks have done well.Some wonder how that can be. Among those are people who have missed the bull market and insist that what is happening in the real world shouldn't be happening ... in theory. There are always many of those. They and the perma-bears (not a small group) argue that people just don't get it. The outlook is bleak, they say. Their bad news sells. Have you ever noticed the best selling financial books are the ones predicting gloom?All that said, stocks are doing well because investors want income and capital gains potential. Where can they find that? Right, in better-yielding stocks. Those who were pessimistic about dividend-paying stocks ahead of the compromise are quickly re-thinking their position. Far from being out of favor, those are the stocks that are now in the sweet spot and there they shall remain for a year or two, maybe longer. Pfizer and other drug stocks, GE, utilities, BP and many higher-yielding issues are doing well. They'll do even better as those people still out of the market (or underinvested) put money to work.The dominant factor for stocks and the bull market will be a driving need for income. There will also be a move out of low-yielding bonds and into stocks and we're starting to see that now. In the most recent week $19 billion went into stock funds, much of it coming out of bonds. In the rush to buy stocks p-e multiples will inevitably expand because prices will be rising faster than earnings.That one-two-three punch - a need for income, money flowing into stocks, and expanding multiples - bodes well for stocks, but not for bonds. Add in some accelerating global growth thanks to the emerging markets and it looks even better.Of course, there will be a day of reckoning in Washington and it won't be pretty as politicians come to grips with the entitlements, as they must. But while that day is surely down the road, it isn't around the corner. Let's enjoy the bull market ... for now.My client accounts are primarily invested in high yielding stocks, preferred stocks, and adjustable rate preferreds (see last week's article). No money is allocated in low-yielding bond funds, especially Treasury funds. We are profiting from a bull market and are prepared for higher interest rates.- David Vomund is an Incline Village-based fee-only money manager.

COCOLAMUS - East Juniata surged ahead in the third and staved off a fourth-quarter challenge as the Tigers topped Halifax, 47-37, in Tri-Valley League girls basketball Tuesday.
Caitlin Hoover's 18 points led the game, and delivered an unexpected punch for East Juniata.
"Hoover has struggled from the floor but really found her rhythm tonight," Tigers coach Travis Quici said.
Add Hannah Erickson's rebounding and a pair of solid offensive performances in the second half and you have a win that keeps the Tigers at least in the running for the TVL crown.
"It was nip and tuck the whole way," Quici said. "The difference was Maddie Trego in the fourth quarter" - where she scored all eight of her points - "and Shelly Gabel came off the bench and scored four in the third to help out."
The Tigers also won the JV game, 36-22.
East Juniata (6-4, 4-2) travels to Juniata for its third straight Friday meeting, and the final TVL game between the two rivals this season.
Girls basketball
Fannett-Metal 72,
Belleville Mennonite 18
WILLOW HILL - It was another tough night for the Belleville Mennonite girls when they traveled to Fannett-Metal and took a 72-18 loss.
"We started out flat on defense again, and we were finally able to pick it up in the second quarter. They were a very tough team and well-rounded," Belleville Mennonite coach Ally Zook said.
Belleville Mennonite's Mollie Morgan led the team in scoring with five.
The Trojans (1-10) travel to Meadowbrook Christian Monday.
Juniata Mennonite 38, Walnut Street Christian 35
BEAVER SPRINGS - A tight game after a half turned in favor of Juniata Mennonite after the break, and the Lions held on for a 38-35 win over Allegheny Christian Athletic Association foe Walnut Street Christian in girls basketball Tuesday.
The visitors had a two-point edge going into the locker room, but in the third Valarie Meiser lit up the scoreboard for 10 of her team-high 15 points.
"It was tight the whole way. The largest gap was five points," Juniata Mennonite coach Andy Meiser noted. He said the secondary scoring proved critical when Walnut Street's defense pressed late in the game.
"It was a team win," he said.
Juniata Mennonite (4-3, 2-2) travels to Northumberland Christian Friday.
Juniata 57, Line Mountain 32
MIFFLINTOWN - The defense was clicking and the offense was hot Tuesday when the Juniata girls maintained their perfect Tri-Valley League record with a 57-32 win over Line Mountain at home.
The Indians' defense kept Line Mountain below the double digit threshold in every quarter but the fourth, and this coupled with the offense - three Indians recorded double figures - resulted in the very lopsided win.
Leading the offense for the Indians was Carly Burns, whose six field goals and perfect 8-8 from the charity stripe gave her 20 points on the night.
But if Burns was leading, the rest of the Indians were right behind her.
Victoria Varner had 12, Maddie Zendt had 11 and Juniata coach Meghan Geedey said the whole team was behind the win.
"It was just a total team victory. To a player, every single person we put in that game tonight made really nice contributions to the win," she said.
Juniata (9-1, 5-0) hosts East Juniata on Friday.
Boys basketball
Milton 66, Midd-West 17
MILTON - Midd-West had no answer for Milton's Michael Jacobs, who scored 23 points for the Black Panthers in their 66-17 Heartland Conference boys basketball win over the Mustangs Tuesday.
Midd-West's offense was stymied by the home team. Kahill Brooker was held to seven points, leading the visitors.
Midd-West won the JV game, 44-41.
The Mustangs (2-6) travel to Selinsgrove Friday.
Juniata Mennonite 56, Walnut Street Christian 18
BEAVER SPRINGS - Jessie Watts scored 19, leading a trio of Lions in double digits as Juniata Mennonite romped over Walnut Street Christian, 56-18, in an Allegheny Christian Athletic Association boys basketball game at West Snyder Elementary School Tuesday.
It was the first time Juniata Mennonite used the alternate location for a home game.
"It wasn't difficult to find some open shots," Juniata Mennonite coach Dennis Zimmerman said. "They had good shots, good looks and it went from there."
Luke Showers chipped in 12 and Eli Auker 10 for the Lions.
Juniata Mennonite (5-3, 3-2) travels to Northumberland Christian Friday.
Fannett-Metal 77, Belleville Mennonite 51
WILLOW HILL - Austin Byler and Steven Yoder combined for 35 points, but even that wasn't enough to stop Fannett-Metal's juggernaut offense Tuesday.
Walker Bannister scored 38 on his own, leading the Tigers to a 77-51 win in the boys basketball contest. Belleville Mennonite coach Doug Snook said his team did its best - everything that could be expected.
"They've got a big team. They've got four starters that are 6-3," he said. "We held their leading scorer, Jordan Hurrell, to four points. Unfortunately, their second leading scorer was Walker Bannister."
Along with Byler (18 points) and Yoder (17), Noah Anders added 10 for the Trojans.
Belleville Mennonite (2-7) heads to Carson Long Thursday.
Central Dauphin East 61, Mifflin County 54
HARRISBURG - It was a three point game with 17 seconds to go when the Mifflin County boys took on Central Dauphin East in Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division action Tuesday, but it was the Panthers who prevailed.
It all ended when the Panthers hit two foul shots to put the game at five, then used a few fouls of their own to kill the clock, took a last second steal and scored the last bucket of the game for 61-54 final.
"CD East is a very athletic team, and early they did a nice job of mixing an active half-court zone defense along with some full-court pressure which limited easy offensive looks," Mifflin County coach Aaron Gingrich said, explaining that his team got more aggressive on the offense as the game progressed.
Seth Wagner in particular finished with a game-high 24 points. He also added 10 rebounds for the double-double. John Michael Maclay trailed Wagner with 13 points, and Hunter Wright had 11 rebounds.
The Huskies lost the JV match, 50-46. Evan Seby had 19 points.
Mifflin County (6-6, 1-6) hosts Cumberland Valley on Friday.
Mount Union 48, Southern Huntingdon 24
THREE SPRINGS - Southern Huntingdon picked up points in only five bouts against Mount Union - two of those forfeits - as the Trojans rolled to a 48-24 win over the Rockets in an Inter-County Conference wrestling match Tuesday.
Sage Moist, Robbie Steel, Tyler Long, Cory Kylor, Devon Kylor, Philip Kyle and Nikolas Smith all pinned their opponents, and Dylan Smith worked for a decision that went to the ultimate tiebreaker.
Mount Union hosts Glendale Thursday.
Girls: Chambersburg 117, Mifflin County 52
Boys: Chambersburg 129, Mifflin County 26
CHAMBERSBURG - Megan Becker won two events and Sarah Bonson one, but it wasn't enough to get Mifflin County past Chambersburg in a Commonwealth Division swim meet Tuesday.
Chambersburg won the girls event 117-52, and took the boys meet by a 129-26 score.
Bonson won the 200-meter individual medley and was second in the 100 backstroke. Becker finished first in the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke. Other top placewinners for the Huskies were Jenna Kile, second in the 100 freestyle, and Kaitlyn Eckley, third in the 50 freestyle.
"This was a meter pool, which was a lot different for the kids. The events are longer, so that was new for them," Mifflin County coach Connie Welch said. "I think its good for them to get out of their comfort zones."
The boys had two runners-up, two of whom also picked up a third. Zack Bonson was second in the 200 freestyle and third in the 100 freestyle. Evan Becker was second and hit the district qualifying mark in the 100 breaststroke and also was third in the 200 individual medley. Seth Barger placed third in the 50 freestyle.
The girls had one second-place relay and two thirds. The boys also were third in two relays.

I'm on Twitter, along with a lot of other food bloggers, but these Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos are the first time I've ever found a recipe there! Actually I'd been thinking about lettuce wrap tacos ever since I posted the recipe for the Spicy Turkey Lettuce Cups, but when I tried my usual Taco Salad meat/bean mixture in lettuce, it was just okay (I missed the Ranch dressing!) Then on Twitter I saw Marisa from Food in Jars talking about this turkey taco recipe, and when I checked the recipe, I knew it was going to be perfect.
I never manage to make a recipe exactly like it's written, so I added some green onions (and a lot more cilantro) to the turkey mixture, but believe me, these turkey tacos are a complete keeper, something you'll make over and over. What makes this story especially fun is that I recently met Marisa at SXSW, and had a great time chatting with her in person after getting to know her on online. (Hi Marisa!)
(We're doing a Month of Daily Phase One recipes for January 2012, and today I'm featuring these Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos from 2009 for a dinner that won't leave you feeling deprived. You can use regular tortillas to make tacos for family members who aren't doing phase one.)
I mentioned cilantro, and this is my entry for Weekend Herb Blogging, now managed by Haalo from Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once, and hosted this week by Ivy from Kopiaste. I've written about cilantro for WHB over and over, and it's still my very favorite herb. If you're writing about interesting herbs or plants, check the rules for Weekend Herb Blogging.
Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions and cook the turkey a couple of minutes more.
Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos with Chiles, Cumin, Cilantro, Lime and Tomato-Avocado Salsa
(Makes about 8 tacos, recipe adapted from Molly Watson's Turkey Tacos, discovered via Twitter from Marisa.)
Ingredients for Tacos:
1 T olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic (I used minced garlic from a jar, but fresh garlic would be even better)
1-2 T diced green chiles (I used about half of a 4 oz. jar of diced green chiles, recipe called for fresh chiles which would be a bit hotter)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground chipotle chile powder (recipe called for cayenne)
1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 large bunch cilantro, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups chopped cilantro. I used 1 cup in tacos and 1/4 cup in salsa. Use more or less cilantro to taste.)
2 T fresh lime juice
2 large heads romaine lettuce (or use iceberg, Boston lettuce, or butter lettuce)
When turkey is lightly browned, add sliced green onions and cook about 2 minutes. Turn off heat, then stir in 1 cup chopped cilantro and 2 T lime juice.
Ingredients for Salsa:
2 medium avocados, diced
1 1/2 cups finely chopped cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 T fresh lime juice
2 T olive oil (optional)
sea salt to taste
Peel and dice avocado, place in glass or plastic bowl and toss with lime juice. Stir in chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, and olive oil, season to taste with salt.
Spoon 2-3 large spoonfuls of turkey mixture into each piece of lettuce. (I used the inner more folded pieces of lettuce and saved the flatter outer pieces for using in salad.) Top meat mixture with salsa. You could also eat this mixture inside whole wheat tortillas or pitas, or even corn tortillas if you're not a South Beach dieter.
South Beach/Low-Carb Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Old Running Shoes Never Die – But Brooks BioMoGo Really Does Fade Away
A critical aspect of a product's "efficiency" involves not just what it does, but also where it comes from and where it goes after its useful life. Brooks has taken an innovative step to improve the life-cycle efficiency of its running shoes with its biodegradable BioMoGo cushioning material.

The Best Rice Cookers
I recommend a fuzzy logic rice cooker if you eat rice every day, basically making your cooker an always-on device. Your rice will take about twice as long to cook as it does in on-off rice cookers — but if rice is part of your daily routine, that will never be a concern. In a fuzzy logic cooker, there will …
SmartSwitch Takes Human Error Out Of The Energy Efficiency Equation
The quest for low-impact, efficient living is often at odds with the human flaws of sheer laziness and absentmindedness. This couldn't be more poignantly-illustrated than in an average American home. Much electricity is wasted each and every day by very simple, avoidable behavior. One of the most common examples is the vast amounts of electricity that are essentially thrown away due to …

I've tested many products over the past year. Here are three that have particularly impressed me with their efficiency:
Sony Introduces Smart Green LCD TVs

It seems fitting.
I like it.
Yesterday I picked out flowers for Beth and the lady preparing the arrangement engaged me in conversation about the circumstances for such lovely daisies in a blue vase.
Her eyes brimmed with tears the entire time she trimmed each stem and positioned it just so. She lost a baby in between her two sons. She always wonders if it was her girl.
The other woman working stopped to join us and gently spoke of her own three losses. I told them how special Beth was to me, and the boys, how important it was to remember them and they nodded and agreed and they took a moment to remember, too.
In the parking lot Gray picked up a broken pen and as I tried to get it out of his hands real fast we both ended up with blue ink all over us. Oh were we a pair.
I half thought that I was glad he wasn't in church clothes and same for me, and then I was filled with emotion and thanks. It's that messy stuff of life that makes you aware of the now and being in the present. If it weren't for that darn broken pen on the asphalt I would have just plopped him in his car seat and been on our way to the next place, my mind somewhere else thinking busy thoughts.
Instead we had a moment. One that he remembered, too, because when we were out and about today Gray told me he wouldn't ever pick up pens in parking lots again.
The other day we were doing other errands, as usual, filling our morning again with empty busyness that seemed so urgent and important at the time but now I can't even recall where we were even going. Gray grabbed my breath by saying, Mommy, thank you for hanging out with me.
All along I was thinking I was dragging him from place to place, little luggage that asks lots of questions, and he found that to be precious time with his Mommy. I huff and puff and sigh and tut tut about my time. I'm living day in and day out with other lives here, wings open and shelter... from way down there and underneath they seem to have a way better view and understanding.
I should totally be thanking them for letting me hang out with them.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Truckee Police Department in conjunction with the Nevada County Tobacco Use Prevention Project conducted a non-enforcement underage tobacco purchase operation Monday, July 9, in Truckee.
According to a Friday press release, the purpose of the operation was primarily that of a survey to determine the level of compliance of local merchants in verifying the age of the purchaser before selling tobacco products.
"Generally we are very pleased with the results," said Capt. Harwood Mitchell in a statement. "None of the merchants were advised of the operation in advance. Of the 17 merchants contacted, only two stores sold tobacco products to the underage purchasers used for the operation."
Neither of the merchants that sold tobacco to juveniles will be cited, according to the press release. All of the merchants will receive letters advising the department had conducted the operation and whether they are doing well or need improvement.
The department will conduct future tobacco operations, the press release states, and non-compliant businesses will be cited.

There are currently five MSc taught programmes available. All programmes are available to be taken as full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years). The timetable for part-time students is the same as for full-time students, but selected units can be moved into a second year, therefore giving the student more free time and flexibility. It averages 40 hours/week over 52 weeks for a full-time student, but some weeks are busier than others. Attendance time (lectures and labs) is approximately 12 hours/week for a full-time student. All lectures are between 9am and 6pm on weekdays, and we won't know the times until the timetable is published in September.
The Creative Technology programme (formerly known as "Internet Technologies with Multimedia") is designed to introduce you to the rapidly emerging areas of computer science where technology impacts the creative design process. With a focus on industry-relevant content production, the programme introduces the theory behind animation and special effects production, interaction design and robotics. You will learn to programme proficiently in C, explore a wide range of topics, experience the entire creative design process and develop key skills in independent research.
This programme is aimed at giving you a solid grounding in Machine Learning, Data Mining and High-Performance Computing technology, and will equip you with the skills necessary to construct and apply Machine Learning, Data Mining and High Performance Computing tools and techniques to the solution of complex scientific and business problems.
This is a conversion MSc which aims to provide you with a wide understanding of computer science. The programme is sufficiently general to give you an excellent background for a professional career in industrial, commercial and educational organisations, and the required background in computer science to enable you to undertake further study leading to the specialisation needed for a research career.
Further information to follow. This is a new advanced computing MSc which allows more flexible combinations of subjects than the others. It allows students to gain expertise with advanced material in a range of specialist areas and covers both theory and practical application.

In the first round, there are 3 games that should be very interesting.
Saturday May 9th, Brown plays Johns Hopkins at noon.
Broooown! Rob…this one's for you buddy.
One of the mild surprises of the selection was to see Brown as a #9 seed. The Bears are 12-3 on the season. This season they have losses to #10 Hofstra (in double OT), unranked Penn (by 1), and #4 Princeton. Their ranked wins came over #15 UMass, #18 Harvard, and #7 Cornell. That one last win over Cornell was enough to get an invite to the show.
Brown's offense is lead by Andrew Feinberg (40Goals/16Assists), Kyle Hollingsworth (20/26), Thomas Muldoon (32/11), Reade Seligmann (12/20), and Brady Williams (17/14). Their EMO offense is struggling, converting on 39% of their chances. Brown's difficulties continue at FO where they are winning 41%. Where Brown succeeds is their goalie and defense. Their man down unit is stopping opponents 74% of the time. Their goalie is 2008 Ivy Player of the year, Jordan Burke. His Goals against average is 7.74, and his save% is at 61.7%. These two reasons (defense and Burke) are how Brown beat Cornell. Cornell scored 0 of 4 attempts on EMO. That is 0. Burke had 18 saves and only 9 goals against.
Johns Hopkins ended up the season 9-4. The Jays lost to #4 Princeton, #1 Syracuse, #5 Virginia, and #6 North Carolina. They have ranked wins over #9 UMBC, #10 Hofstrra, #13 Maryland, #12 Navy, and #14 Loyola. Aftter a 3-4 start the team won out. Hopkins has been on a trend the past couple of years. Start off poor, then finish very strong. Statistically speaking this is directly correlated to the play of their goalie Mike Gvozden (MikeyG). This is not necessarily a bad thing. Ask any NHL player and if their goalie is hot during the playoffs then that is all that matters. The regular season is a distant memory. Gvozden on the year is saving 51.2% of the shots he faces letting in an average 9.5 Goals Against. The Hopkins defense did not give Gvozden too much help in the beginning of the year (slides looked slow), but have since stepped it up. The Man down unit is stopping opponents 63% of the time.
On offense, The Jays are led by Kyle Wharton (31/9), Chris Boland (23/16), Mike Kimmel (18/21), Brian Christopher (25/11), and Steven Boyle (19/15). On offense, their EMO is scoring on 47% of their chances.
While Brown has played well at times this year, the Hopkins machine is just too much to handle. I think Brown can put up a fight, but towards the later part of the game, Hopkins depth and multiple threats pull away. The Jays take this one by 4.
Sunday May 10th, Maryland plays Notre Dame at noon.
The once highly touted then highly booted Will Yeatman faces his old team …
Anyone find it ironic that the school with the stereotypical mascot of a fighting Irishman (and let's be honest…what other stereotype goes with an angry Irishman…think Denis Leary), levied such a strict penalty on Yeatman?
Notre Dame is 15-0. No losses. Ranked wins over #14 Loyola, #16 Penn State, #6 UNC, #17 Bucknell, and #19 Villanova. Notre Dame parallels Syracuse in the fact that both schools USED to have good football programs that are now in the tank. Actually the similarities end there…but that doesn't mean ND is overrated.
I have heard the statements from coaches and past players that Notre Dame is undefeated yet untested…that they need to beat some good teams (Does that infer UNC is not a good team). Everyone also blames ND for poor scheduling. To these naysayers, I say that it is not Notre Dame's fault that they are not in a top league like the ACC that has to play each other (inflating their own SOS). Nor is it their fault that on open games, teams find little incentive to travel out to Indiana.
The Fighting Irish are led by Neal Hicks (25/17), Duncan Swezey (22/20), Ryan Hoff (32/3), Grant Krebs (28/9), and Peter Christman (14/18). They don't seem to be missing Will Who. Notre Dame has a number of threats even though they don't have the "flair factor".
In goal, Scott Rodgers has posted an amazing 6.08 GAA, and 66.3%. Granted he hasn't faced stiff competition, yet against UNC, which has some very sharp shooters, Rodgers posted one of his best games ever saving 16 of 23 shots (7.0 GAA/70%save).
I also will throw in the comment that since they have not had such a ragged schedule that late season injuries/fatigue does not plague the team as much as others.
Maryland is 9-6. They had losses to unranked Georgetown, #9 UMBC, #5 UVA, #12 Navy, #8 Johns Hopkins, and #6 UNC. They have ranked wins over #3 Duke, and #6 UNC.
Maryland had a tough schedule this year, yet I am surprised they did not do better. With the amount of offensive talent this team has, they just couldn't put together the whole package day in and day out. Wether it was a Sophomore slump or the chemistry built last year was affected as there were some changes to the chemistry.
Their special teams units faired well as a whole, as their EMO worked 50% of the time, and Mandown 70% of the time. They also won 52% of their faceoffs. The special units of MD really is like the rest of the team. Not bad, but nothing jumps out and says greatness.
The points leaders are Grant Catalino (22/21), Ryan Young (19/16), Dan Groot (19/14), Will Yeatman (13/13), Travis Reed (16/7). In cage for the Terps should be Brian Phipps. While splitting time with Carter, Phipps just puts up a better performance. (Jason Carter 7.54 GAA, 49.1%. Brian Phipps 7.63 GAA 58%)
By seedings I am not picking the underdog…by traditionalists I am. I am picking Notre Dame to win by 3. I believe MD's defense will be surprised by the abilities of a number of ND players. ND's offense, while not overly impressive, will put up enough goals (especially since Rodgers will be standing on his head making big saves for the Irish)
Duke/Navy is my pick for game of the week. They meet Saturday May 9th at 7:30pm.
Duke ended up 13-3. They lost to #18 Harvard, and #13 Maryland. Ranked wins over #17 Bucknell, #14 Loyola, #6 UNC (twice), and #5 UVA (twice). I have no idea how they lost to Harvard and MD but in the same breath were the only team to beat UVA.
Duke's offense is lead by Tewaaraton finalist Ned Crotty (20/45). The Blue Devils also have Max Quinzani (39/9), Zach Howell (21/16), Justin Turri (15/10), and Brad Ross (18/6).
For special teams, they are 46% on EMO, 62% on man-down, and 55% on FO.
If I had to pick one weakness, it would be in goal. Not that Schroeder is bad, but Duke's offense is that damn good. Schroeder has a 7.69 GAA, and save% of 50.8%
Navy. What can I say. I love their defense, their physical play, their hustle attitude.
Navy is 11-4 on the year. Losses to #6 UNC (by 1), #17 Bucknell (by 1), unranked Colgate (by 1), and #8 Hopkins. Ranked wins over #13 Maryland, and #17 Bucknell.
Being an LSM, I love defense, and am really excited to hopefully see them in Foxboro. The only game they let an opponent score more than 10 goals was their loss to Hopkins. Their opponents are averaging only 7.2 goals per game. Their Man down is insane. They stop opponents EMO 85% of the time. Hell, If I were Coach Meade, I'd let my defense play man-down the whole game…leave a middie at midfield for a quick outlet pass on a save/turnover. Why? Cause they can ……and their offense needs a little help. The Navy offense is only averaging 9.1 goals per game. Their EMO is only successful 44% of the time. And they only have 2 players with 30+ points on the year. The offense is led by Brendan Connors (21/10), Tim Paul (18/13), Andy Warner (13/14), Pat Moran (20/3), and Joe Lennon (13/9).
In goal for Navy should be Tommy Phelan who has a 7.69 GAA and a save% of 63.3%.
If I were Navy, I would not waste too much time focusing on Crotty. Even in Duke's losses he put up at least 3 assists each game. They should focus on who he is passing to. Quinzani can and has been shut down before. Navy's defense should be able to handle Max fairly easily.
I am going with the choke factor on this one. Usually you hear about players "not being able to finish". Coach Danowski just can't finish. Under Dano's tutelage, Hofstra excelled at mediocrity. Even when they had a stacked team in 2006 they failed against UMass. More recently at Duke with much of their starpower intact, they couldn't even get to the finals in 2008.
Navy with a major upset takes a close one by 1-2.

on July 16, 2013 - 1:00 AM
Just six weeks after plans for Cabela's Crossing in Cheektowaga were made public, the town's review process is proceeding at a brisk pace.
Monday night, the Town Board approved the site plan, with conditions, for the 88,000-square-foot store – the first in New York State for the nationally known outdoor retailer, and a neighboring four-story, 108-room hotel. Benderson Development owns and manages the development.
"We are trying to move this project along quickly," said Councilman Stanley J. Kaznowski III. "There's no impact on any residents."
Cabela's Crossing would replace the former Wegmans Food market in what's been known as Walden Village shopping center. The Home2 Suites by Hilton would be built between the Burlington Coat Factory and the Thruway. Its target market is the regional and Canadian shoppers who visit the area.
Construction on the store is expected to begin this fall, with opening expected in the fall of 2014. Cabela officials have said the store is expected to employ up to 200 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees, and there are no plans to seek government assistance or tax breaks, other than those available to anyone.
The site requires the town engineer's approval of modifications to the existing drainage system and driveway modifications within the Duke Road right of way. The town's Zoning Board of Appeals, which meets next week, also needs to act on a few variances.
The Town Board also issued a negative declaration regarding potential environmental impacts.
"It's going to be a nice complex," said Councilman James P. Rogowski, who held up a drawing of the proposal. He also noted the lack of residential impacts.
But that's not the case for a drive-thru Checkers restaurant proposed for 2563 Union Road, which was the subject of a lengthy public hearing Monday night. Infrastructure and landscaping were installed on the site several years ago, when town officials approved a larger retail business that never was built.
Richard D. Hibbs, a father of two whose house is immediately south of the site, had numerous requests. Some – including installation of an eight-foot tall vinyl fence to replace the six-foot wooden fence previously installed by Benderson Development – received oral agreement from attorney James Boglioli, who works for the developer.
But Boglioli flatly refused Hibbs's request that the business close at 11 p.m.; proposed operating hours are until 1 a.m. weeknights and 3 a.m. weekends. "That's not feasible," Boglioli said.
The Town Board reserved decision Monday night on requests for a special use permit for the drive-thru window and a variance to reduce the required distance between the bypass lane edge of the pavement and the neighboring residential property from 75 feet to 10 feet.

Much hugs and purples today.
