The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products. If saving money and resources is important to you and you are not concerned with minor wear you should consider purchasing off-lease. Off lease products carry limited warranties through the original leasing agent or their third party refurbisher. See below for warranty details.

The Black dragon worm (Slate 'w')
=== Num:1026 Lev:20 Rar:3 Spd:-10 Hp:10d15 Ac:40 Exp:12
You thought dragons used eggs, but this worm has the scales, and the bad breath, and the fiery eyes, of a real dragon. Acidic drool drips from its jaws. This evil dragon moves extremely erratically. It may breathe acid; 1 time in 6. It can open doors and bash down doors. It breeds explosively. It resists acid. It pays little attention to intruders, which it may notice from 100 feet. It will carry a treasure. It can claw to attack with damage 3d3, claw to attack with damage 3d3, and bite to attack with damage 3d5. (T.o.M.E. 2.3.5)

Who do you think will take gold at the GPF in ice dance?
Who do you think will take gold at the GPF in ice dance?
I voted for D/W herem but in my predictions I chose V/M: thta's because I actually think D/W will win this (they always peak earlier in the season and GPF seems not really a lucky competition for V/M!), but I hope Tessa and Scott will do a miracle and show that what I've just written is wrong!
Virtue & Moir.
It's a toss up really between D/W and V/M. Just like the Judges I feel it is very difficult to choose between them. They're both so incredibly good. But, as FSGMT remarked D/W generally peak early in season so my bet's on them. But who knows what will happen this weekend? Good luck to all of them!
I voted for V&M, even though D&W have looked a bit stronger this season. Might be wishful thinking; I just really want to see V&M's terrific programs skated lights out this week.

Every great album has its own creation myth, the story behind the alchemy of inspiration and sweat that conjured musical gold. Darkness on the Edge of Town, the gritty, introspective Bruce Springsteen release that followed on the heels of smash hit Born to Run, gets the detailed "How did it happen?" treatment in the very authorized documentary The Promise.
It's a story worth telling, and all of the principals get their chance here. Riding high on the triumph of 1975's Born to Run, a young Boss is determined to wrest control of his sound and his career from manager and producer Mike Appel. The ensuing legal battle keeps Bruce and the boys out of the studio for three years, far longer than they would like; when they return, to record Darkness, Springsteen is ready for "a reckoning with life in the adult world, a life with limitations and compromises."
The Promise does a fine job showing how that reckoning came about. Bent on making an intensely personal and thematically unified record and a bit alienated by his rise to stardom, Springsteen entered the studio with the E Street Band — and stayed there long enough to record some 70 songs. Only 10 ended up on the final album (an expanded box set including a DVD of the film was released last year), and some of the film's sharpest moments find the band agonizing over what gets left on the cutting-room floor.
Mixing vintage black-and-white studio footage with contemporary interviews, The Promise tackles both the politics of the music industry and the tensions of artistic collaboration. We see more than an album created here; there's also the Springsteen that grew out of the experience, the full-grown adult songwriter who would continue to blend the personal with the topical on his own terms. From the generational rage of "Adam Raised a Cain" to the small-town loneliness of "Racing in the Streets," Darkness marked a turning point for an artist both iconoclastic and fervently popular.
It wasn't easy. Max Weinberg recalls hour upon endless hour trying to achieve the drum sound Springsteen heard in his head. ("Stick!" the boss man shouts every time the sound gets too, well, drumlike.) Eventually the band bonded through the trials: "They had to find a lot of ways to get out from under my oppressive hand," Springsteen says. Or, as guitarist-producer Steve Van Zandt puts it, "Darkness was the first real E Street Band record. The earlier ones were more solo records."
A gold mine for Springsteen fans, an intriguing rock 'n' roll tale for the less obsessed, The Promise spotlights a critical juncture in the career of a star who decided it was time to do it his way.
The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town
B+ With Bruce Springsteen, Mike Appel, Jon Landau, Steve Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, Patti Smith and others. Directed by Thom Zimny. Not rated (language). 85 mins. At the Texas Theatre.

Don't miss your chance to see local mystery and suspense author, Michael Koryta at Barnes and Noble next week to promote his newest book - The Ridge. He will be there on Monday, June 6 at 7:00 p.m. Full event details available on the Barnes and Noble website, and also from Michael's personal blog too.
The 2011 Lambda Literary Awards were announced last week for excellence in lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans literature available in the United States.A sample of winning titles published in 2010 that MCPL owns include:TRANSGENDER -- FictionHolding Still for As Long As Possible, by Zoe Whittall
Graduation, students leaving town, the planning of summer trips and picnics, yes it's that time of year again. If only the weather would comply. On June 5th, Jane Layman will lead our next Books Plus discussion about Jonathan Franzen's latest novel Freedom. This well-reviewed novel features Patty and Walter Berglund, pioneers of old St. Paul. Walter is an environmental lawyer concerned about the fate of warblers, and Patty is an ex-sports player, perhaps a little too competitive with her parenting.
Tuscaloosa, St. Louis, Joplin, Missouri? Do these names ring a bell? Unfortunately, they've been ground zero for a few of this season's most serious tornadoes. While checking the new shelf, I came across Reed Timmer's new book about his odyssey from a geeky 19 year-old college student to the most famous "storm chaser" around.
It seems common knowledge that riding your bike to work is a low carbon activity. What you might not know if that if you fuel your bike ride with air-freighted off season asparagus, then your carbon footprint increases dramatically and you'd be better off commuting buy Hummer. The art and science of taking into account many aspects of what constitutes a carbon footprint has often been ignored.
I am deep in the middle of Adam Hochschild's new book, To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918 about the anti-war movement before and during World War I (and is thus far excellent). And I recently slogged through British historian Antony Beevor's 500+ page D-Day: The Battle for Normandy, which was a bit too detailed, but very fair in representing Allied incompetence and portrayed some of the major players, including Montgomery, Eisenhower and Patton in a new light for me. Can you tell I was a history major? Standing out so far in this recent WWI/WWII kick was Slinging Doughnuts for the Boys: An American Woman in WWII by Indiana University history professor, James H. Madison.
Wedding planning, ghost vans that mysteriously disappear into the veldt, a perfect pair of heels for a wedding, what's not to like about Alexander McCall Smith's latest in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series? If life has you feeling blue, this is the perfect book to lighten your mood and take you away from your problems. Botswana, is that far enough? A country where they measure wealth in cattle rather than dollars, and people still have the time to chat in a tree's shade.
OK, who can resist a title like How I Killed Pluto...? It promises and then delivers a light, interesting take on the Pluto demotion from one of the nine big ones to a dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system. "My very excellent mother just served us nine pizzas." Do you remember that line from science class in grade school? The words helped us remember the planets and their order in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Alas, now mother is just serving us nine___?

Dictionary of the Scots Language
Skretkowicz, Victor. "Dictionary of the Scots Language." Scottish Language Dictionaries, http://www.dsl.ac.uk/.
This site comprises electronic editions of the two major historical dictionaries of the Scots language: the Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue and the Scottish National Dictionary. The first contains information about Scots words in use from the twelfth to the end of the seventeenth centuries (Older Scots); and the second contains information about Scots words in use from the eighteenth century to the present day (modern Scots).
Don't confuse Scots with Gaelic. Scots is a dialect of English and in the Germanic family of languages. It is widely spoken throughout Scotland. Gaelic is a Celtic language, quite distinct from English, now largely restricted to the remote, highland regions of Scotland.

Green's Dictionary of Slang
Green, Jonathan. Green's Dictionary of Slang. Oxford University Press. 2011.
Green's Dictionary of Slang is the crowning achievement of a scholar who dedicated his career to the research of slang terms. It may be the finest slang dictionary available. It is, unfortunately, far to expensive for anyone who is not a library. It is available online, however, to subscribers of Oxford Reference.
Medieval Latin Word-List
Latham, R. E. Revised Medieval Latin Word-List from British and Irish Sources with Supplement. London: Oxford University Press, 1980.
A Latin-English dictionary, but one based on how Latin was used in medieval Britain and Ireland. This volume formed the basis for the full Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources (subscription service). It's not as complete or, because it's the initial draft, not as rigorously compiled, but it's a convenient, inexpensive, one-volume resource.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary
Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Sixth ed. Two vols. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007.
The SOED is an abridged version of the larger OED, containing words in use since 1700. In two volumes it is easier to use than the full OED for general queries; the answer sought is less likely to be buried in a lengthy entry. Also, being shorter has allowed the editors to completely update the dictionary over the different editions, meaning it often reflects new scholarship that has yet to be added to its larger cousin.
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Eleventh ed. Springfield, Mass.: Merriam-Webster, 2003.

This is another significant dictionary of its day, now woefully out of date, but still useful for historical purposes. The bulk of the dictionary was published between 1889-1891. A Cyclopedia of Names was added in 1894 and a two-volume supplement was added in 1909.
Oxford English Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary Online; http://www.oed.com; Oxford University Press.
This is the single best source of information on the meaning, usage, and history of words in the English language. Oxford University Press publishes a variety of dictionaries and these smaller, but still excellent, dictionaries should not be confused with the comprehensive behemoth that is the OED.
The online version is the third or "New" edition of the venerable dictionary. The first tranche of third edition updates was published in March 2000. Updates are published quarterly. This third edition is the first complete revision of the dictionary. The site is a subscription site. The third edition updates are not available in print.
The first edition of the OED was published in fascicles from 1884-1928. It comprised ten volumes. A one-volume supplement was published in 1933 and a second supplement in 1972. The second edition was published in 1989. It comprises 20 volumes and is available online, on CD-ROM, and in a micro-printed one-volume edition. The second edition is not a complete revision—not all the entries in the first edition were updated. Three volumes of additions to the second edition were published between 1993-97.
An important caveat when using the OED is to always check when the individual entry was written and last updated. Many of the entries are over a century old and don't reflect the latest scholarship. Older entries should be used with caution. When the third edition is complete this problem should be fixed, at least for a while.

Julia's Own Style
Preparing for her much anticipated ascendance to the Oscar throne, Julia Roberts sought counsel from the unlikeliest of experts: her 10-year-old niece Emma, reports PEOPLE in its latest cover story. Presented with Roberts's potential frock of choice -- a vintage ('82) black-velvet Valentino couture -- the precocious adviser feared that the TV audience wouldn't see the gown's striped back. "She said, 'Aunt Julia, that dress is nice, but if you win, what are you going to do?' " recalled Roberts, turning backward to display the dress in all its glory and throwing a practice grin over her right shoulder. " 'This?' " Yes, that. Flashing her trademark smile, Roberts took home the Best Actress Oscar (for Erin Brockovich) at the 73rd Annual Academy Awards and won over hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide with her giddy, giggly "I love the world!" acceptance speech. Well, maybe not all of them, the magazine suspects. The actress's self-created splendor last Sunday couldn't have sat too well with Hollywood's professional stylists, who for years have been paid big bucks to micromanage the stars to red-carpet-ready perfection. Especially galling must have been the fact that Roberts wasn't alone. Others who went stylist-less: Sigourney Weaver (in Galliano for Dior), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Atelier Versace) and Russell Crowe (Armani).

After writing an article for PR News about how to use LinkedIn as an effective business tool, I realized that I was a hypocrite—I was espousing the value of a robust profile, but my own was skeletal at best. So, I followed my own advice and rounded it out with past experience, information about my education, a customized URL and background information about my general interest and areas of expertise.
In the interest of full disclosure, my involvement with the social network–and social networks in general–was basically flat-lined; in terms of my LinkedIn profile, I would accept invitations when they were extended, but I did nothing to proactively reconnect with the business contacts that I've accumulated over the years. As for a Facebook account, much to my friends' disbelief, I do not have a profile; my MySpace presence is solely relegated to PR News' page.
So, starting now (at least as far as LinkedIn is concerned), I plan to make a concerted effort to reach out to others, and to actively in engage in the community. After all, study after study shows that it's a viable business communications platform, and communicating is precisely the business that I'm in. So, with that, here is my profile. I'd love to link in with anyone who's out there listening …

A 34-year-old man facing charges for murdering a 17-year-old Detroit teen on Friday once escaped from prison, and is currently on probation for another crime.
WDIV, The Detroit News, and the Detroit Free Press all report that Chauncey Owens was charged with the death of Jerean Blake, allegedly because Owens and the teen got into an argument at a party store.
According to the Michigan Department of Corrections, Owens was convicted of car theft in 2005, for which he was still on probation. His probation was scheduled to expire in 2011. In 1995, Owens was sentenced to prison for breaking and entering. He escaped from Washtenaw County Prison that same year, but was apprehended.
Owens, who went by several aliases including "C-Note" and "Ceno-X," was arrested at the home of Aiyana Jones, a 7-year-old shot and killed during a SWAT team raid. He was reportedly engaged to Aiyana's aunt. Police are also questioning Aiyana's father, Charles Jones.
How Aiyana was shot still remains a point of debate between law enforcement and the girl's family. While police argue that an officer got into a scuffle with the girl's grandmother, family attorney Geoffrey Fieger says video contradicts any altercation.
Lost in the shuffle is the murder of Blake, whose mother says is being ignored because of the attention given to Aiyana's shooting. Before Owens was charged, Lyvonne Cargill appeared on a radio show and made claims that Owens and Aiyana's father "bragged" about killing her son, and that the girl's family was well aware of the situation.
"They don't talk about my son. They talk all about the 7-year-old. What about my son? My son needs to get buried, too," she said.
A candlelight vigil is being held for Blake tonight at the scene of his murder. For more information, visit the public Facebook event listing for details.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Vonage Holdings (NYSE: VG ) jumped by as much as 22% during intra-day trading Thursday after the company announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire privately held Vocalocity for $130 million.
So what: The mildly dilutive deal will be comprised of $105 million in cash and $25 million in Vonage common stock, and is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings and on an EBITDA multiple basis sometime in 2015. Vocalocity is growing quickly by maintaining its focus on providing voice over Internet protocol services primarily to businesses with 20 or fewer employees -- which comprise around 60% of the roughly $15 billion small and medium business voice services market -- and most recently boasted 39% year-over-year revenue growth to $28 million during the first half of 2013 alone.
Now what: For reference, Vonage missed sales expectations in Q2 when it reported revenue fell 3.4% to $204.8 million, so investors are understandably excited for this growth catalyst going forward.
Considering Vonage also stated the SMB market is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 27.5% over the next five years, the combined growth potential for both Vocalocity and Vonage looks pretty impressive. What's more, as Vonage CEO Marc Lefar pointed out, "Entry into the SMB segment is a key element of the growth strategy [Vonage] outlined last year," which makes its purchase of Vocalocity a shoo-in for Vonage's existing business.
Here's another way to profit from voice services

You have GOT to get Super Smash Bros Brawl, I play it everyday and never get sick of it
I just bought a wii today, the games for the kids are fine but I want some I can enjoy ( Call of duty 4 looks good ) any suggestions as to what I should look out for? I like war games, Grand theft auto was also a fav!
Many thanks, Colin.
You have GOT to get Super Smash Bros Brawl, I play it everyday and never get sick of it
is call of duty reflex a different version of call of duty 4?
No, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition is the same game as CoD4 was minus the split screen multiplayer, and good graphics. From what I've heard it's the best shooter on the Wii as of now, and I'm not surprised.
If you want to try out a Grand Theft Auto type game, try Scarface: The World Is Yours. It's a bit dated but still awesome.
And of course, enjoy the forums. Happy holidays.

Two foreboding phenomena align today — a full moon and Friday the 13th. Surely emergency responders are preparing for the worst.
"I've seen a lot of crazy things happen and it never restricts itself to full moons," Amarillo Police Department Sgt. Brent Barbee said. "I don't believe in those superstitions."
Well, maybe not.
Full moons are mythically linked to irregular human and animal behaviors, criminal activity, health emergencies and traffic accidents, according to scientificamerican.com.
But the numbers tell a different story, in Amarillo at least.
A full moon appeared May 14 when 458 service calls were dispatched.
Two weeks later, on May 28, officers responded to 623 calls. During March 16, another full-moon day, police responded to 434 calls, 61 fewer than on March 30, Barbee said.
Calls were more frequent on full moon days in January, February and April, but just barely.
January showed a difference of 53 service calls, February had 38 and April 25, records show.
Years ago, Barbee said, an officer researched homicides for previous years and found none that occurred under a full moon.
But this is no regular full moon day. Today marks the last time the feared lunar phase will arrive on Friday the 13th until August 2049.
The last such occurrence fell on Oct. 13, 2000.
Though the Friday the 13th bad-luck superstition is almost universal in Western culture, its exact origins are unclear, according to snopes.com.
Friday may have been linked in Christian tradition to misfortunes like the crucifixion of Jesus or the confusion at the Tower of Babel.
In the 14th Century, Geoffrey Chaucer linked bad luck and Fridays in "The Canterbury Tales." The number 13 is sometimes skipped in numbering hotel rooms and building floors to avoid bad luck.
Other myths of obscure origin dictate journeys are not to be started on Fridays.
So if these legends are so widespread, there must be something behind them, right?
"I would have to see some empirical evidence," Barbee said. "I think it's a self-fulfilling prophecy."

The Colts added some additional depth at quarterback by trading the the sixth round pick they got in the Winston Justice trade for Drew Stanton and a seventh round pick:
The Colts sent the 17th pick in the sixth round, acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles last week, to the New York Jets. In return, they got four-year veteran QB Drew Stanton and the seventh pick in the seventh round.
I got blasted on Twitter for saying this was a good deal but the Colts essentially moved down a couple of spots to acquire Stanton.
Shortly thereafter they agreed to terms with former Titans and Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery. Avery showed tremendous upside during his rookie season before injuries curtailed his progress:
Minutes later, Colts owner Jim Irsay announced via Twitter that wide receiver Donnie Avery, a free agent from the Tennessee Titans, had agreed to terms.

It seems a long time ago since India were considered the number one Test team. They were never the most convincing overseas but things have become so bad that even home comforts are not working.
It seems a long time ago, far, far away in another galaxy, since India were considered the number one Test team. They were never the most convincing overseas but things have become so bad that even home comforts are not working. It is the sheer nature and number of defeats that has become a huge concern.
When Gary Kirsten left the coaching role, he was lauded and quite rightly. He also got out at the right time. India were safely installed as the best in the long format and had just won the World Cup on home soil.
However, the hands of time were suggesting this was a huge peak. There was not universal approval at Duncan Fletcher's subsequent appointment as he had appeared to have lost value as a coach.
His status as an international mover had been in hibernation for four years and was on a downward gradient with the Ashes debacle in 2006 souring his legacy. Nevertheless, Kirsten recommended him as a man who could bring out the best in players during a transitional period.
Working under the BCCI is not the same as having the ECB bow down to your demands. Fletcher had contracted England players whom he could pretty much keep under lock and key on his watch. The same liberal ways are unbeknown to the Indian cricket authorities.
Kirsten concentrated on the pitch, unlike Greg Chappell, and it paid huge dividends. He could still keep up on the pitch itself with his relative youth with MS Dhoni calling him 'the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket in a long time.'
"Duncan will work well with all the talent," Michael Vaughan said on Twitter after the Zimbabwean's appointment. "His biggest challenge will come from the media ... he has never really understood how it works."
But the administrators simply do not allow him to go there. Given that Fletcher has always been good at staying under the radar, the almost total silence is quite unhealthy.
He has now managed another two huge whitewashes of 0-4 in England last year and Australia last winter. For someone who prided himself on the minutiae of preparation, this must surely hurt deeply. Or has he just become numbed by the politics and the dressing room egos?
As India finally search for a scapegoat to salve their wounds and the egos of their ageing and underperforming 'galacticos' like Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar, it appears the time has come to take definitive action.
Losing a first home series since 2004 would be totally unacceptable. Knowing that his reputation was really on the line at home, Fletcher carried out more preparatory work this time, denying England the practice of front-line spinners to face during the warm-up games.
However, the realisation that his spinners have been out bowled by Monty Panesar - someone he never exactly rated - and Graeme Swann must be disturbing. The BCCI is hardly lacking funds, while the Ashwins and Ojhas flounder. Virat Kohli, the star pupil, has completely failed to shine. Where exactly is Fletcher adding value?
It could have all been so different. Dhoni is an intelligent, thoughtful cricketer and exactly the kind of individual that could have worked well with Fletcher's eye for detail. The Indians could have been on the crest of a new wave with a generation of talent coming through.
For all the IPL's faults, you don't have to look too far to see what local talent there is on offer. But the coach will no doubt point to what he can't do under the choking grip of the Big Brother Board.
The Indian coach, whose contract expires in April, may know the answer in five days to the question the Beatles once posed: 'Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?'

Kalamazoo Gazette
KALAMAZOO — Kalamazoo is a generous community, said officials at The Salvation Army.
This year, The Salvation Army collected a record amount of donations during its Red Kettle Campaign.
As of Tuesday, the non-profit group had collected over $465,000, surpassing its goal of $440,000 and setting a record for donations for the second year in a row.
"We have a commitment to be here and to help people," said Maj. Donald Tekautz. "You can trust us."
The Salvation Army provides financial aid to those who need help paying for food and utilities, as well a youth and senior programs.
In 2010, the group saw roughly a 40 percent increase in the amount of people who came to it for aid. That is in addition to a 15 percent increase from the year before, Tekautz said.
The Red Kettle Campaign constitutes roughly 25 percent of The Salvation Army's yearly budget.
The increase in donations comes in the wake of several year prior to last year when the group was unable to meet its goal, Tekautz said.
"We thought we had set a challenging goal," he said. "I hope it shows a bit that the economy is starting to soften a bit."
A year ago, the Salvation Army set a record by raising $440,000, beating the goal by $46,000.
Other than gauging a need for its services, there is no specific method to how the Salvation Army decides what its goal will be, said Betsy Clark, development and volunteer director for the group.
Although the group takes the increase in donations as a sign the economy is turning around, it is important to remember that even in hard times, many people struggle, Clark said.
"I think the families we are seeing are families right on the brink," she said. "There are still families hurting out there."
This year marks the fourth consecutive year that The Salvation Army has used all volunteers for its bell ringers. Ringers can often be found outside grocery and department stores during the holiday season.
Clark said the money raised helps provide families hope for what's ahead, and offers them solace that there are people out there who care.
"God loves you and he puts people here to help you," she said. "Kalamazoo is a very unique community. They are aware of the needs of struggling families here."

Lets take a look at some of the rules changes that happened during this decade.
Goaltenders allowed to pass the puck forward, up to their own blue line. Minor penalites are changed from three minutes down to two. Overtime limited to 20 minutes.
Delayed penalty rules introduced. Each team must have a minimum of four players on the ice at all times. Two rules were amended to encourage offense.
No more than two defensemen permitted to remain inside a team's own blue line when the puck has left the defensive zone. A faceoff is called for ragging the puck unless short-handed.
Goaltender's leg pads are limited to 12-inch width. Timekeepers mark the end of the period rather than the referee's whistle.
Teams are to dress a maximum of 12 players for each game with no more than 14 on the roster.
Blue lines repositioned to 60 feet from each goal line, thereby enlarging the neutral zone and standardizing distance from the blue line to goal.
To further increase offense, forward passes allowed in defending and neutral zone and the goaltender's pads are reduced from 12 to 10 inches.
Game standardized at three 20-minute periods of stop time separated by ten-minute intermissions. Teams to change ends after each period.
Ten minutes of sudden death overtime to be played if the score is tied after regulation time.
Minor penalties are to be assessed to any player other than the goaltender for deliberately picking up the puck while it is in play. A minor penalty is to be assessed for deliberately shooting the puck out of play.
The Art Ross goal nets were adopted as the official net of the NHL.
Maximum length of hockey sticks is limited to 53 inches measured from heel of blade to end of the handle. No minimum length stipulated.
Home teams given choice of which end to defend at the start of the game.
Forward passing permitted in defensive and neutral zones and into the attacking if pass receiver is in neutral zone when the pass is made. No forward passing allowed inside the attacking zone.
Minor penalties assessed to any player who passes the puck back into the defensive zone.
Ten-minute overtime without sudden death provision to be played if the game is tied after regulation time. Games tied after this overtime period declared a draw.
Exclusive to goaltenders, teams to dress at least eight players and no more than 12 skaters.
Forward passing permitted inside all three zones but not permitted across either blue lines.
No more than three players including the goaltender may remain in the defensive zone when the puck has gone up the ice.
Minor penalties to be assessed for the first two violations of this rule in a game, major penalties thereafter.
Goaltenders are forbidden to hold the puck. Pucks caught must be cleared immediately.
For infringement of this rule, a faceoff to be taken 10 feet in front of the goal with no player standing between the faceoff spot and the goal-line.
High sticking penalties are introduced.
Maximum number of players in uniform increased from 12 to 15.
December 21, 1929; Forward passing instituted at the beginning of the 1929-30 season more than doubled the number of goals scored.
Partway through the season, these rules were further amended to read "No attacking player is allowed to precede the play when entering the opposing attacking zone." This is similar to the modern day offside rule.
As you can see a lot of the rules that are part of the game today, originated during this decade. He are the top ten scorers of the 1920's.

By Wendy Brown (USAG Wiesbaden)May 11, 2012
WIESBADEN, Germany - A group of 90 students from Department of Defense Dependents Schools throughout Europe met for six days in Oberwesel to take on a tough project.
They were there to save the world.
It was the first-ever Europe STEMposium, and from April 22-27 the students used their engineering skills to try and solve a problem that involved an earthquake, flooding and stored nuclear fuel rods about to overheat. The symposium's motto was, "Confront Disaster… Engage Your Mind… Save the World."
Frank Pendzich, instructor of engineering technology at Wiesbaden High School, organized the event, which took place at the Jugendgästehaus overlooking the Rhein River. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and organizations encouraging students to study those subjects frequently use the acronym.
Five students from Wiesbaden attended, and like students from other schools, none of them were allowed to be on the same team, Pendzich said.
The idea was for students to meet new people and learn how to work well with people with whom they are unfamiliar, Pendzich said.
For Ashley Barclift, a freshman from Wiesbaden who won a second-place engineering award and was on the team that came in first place, meeting new people at the symposium was the best part about the symposium. Her twin sister Alexis Barclift also said she enjoyed collaborating with students from other schools.
Ashley, who started building robots in seventh grade and plans to be a robotics engineer, won her award for a robot designed to turn on a control switch to power that would turn on the cooling system for stored nuclear fuel rods.
Martin Hurst, a sophomore from Wiesbaden who won a first-place engineering award, said he knew going into the event that he wanted to be an engineer, but now he is leaning toward becoming a robotics engineer.
"It was a great experience all around," Hurst said.
Each team had a student acting as a bio technical engineer, a nuclear engineer, robotics engineer, an environmental engineer, a green technology engineer and a geophysics engineer, Pendzich said.
Matthew Garcia, a junior from Wiesbaden, said he also plans to be an engineer, and the symposium was a good way to learn about the different job fields. It was also a great experience to work on a realistic problem, he said.
"It gave us a chance to feel like real engineers," Garcia said.
Hunter Lunasin, a freshman from Wiesbaden, said he liked working on a team with other students on the problem. "Knowing that the scenario could happen, I was scared, but it felt good to know there are people who can solve the problems," he said.
Pendzich said he has learned from his years as a teacher that when education is relevant and engaging, students become capable to performing much more difficult work.
About 45 adults also participated in the event, Pendzich said. Each team had an adviser, and five experts in various engineering fields helped facilitate discussions and work with the students, he said.
The students received hints about the possible disaster they would have to work on before the event, Pendzich said, but did not know the exact scenario.
During the week, in addition to handling the disaster, students attended hands-on seminars that targeted various areas of engineering and science, Pendzich said.
In addition, representatives from the U.S. Air Force demonstrated weather, disaster response, and robotics technology, Pendzich said.
Students also went on study trips to the European Space Agency, Juwi Energy Park and the Koblenz River Locks, Dam and Fish Pass, Pendzich said. And if that wasn't enough, each evening the students listened to a guest speaker on STEM careers.
Pendzich said he hopes to hold a STEMposium again next year.

While many teens are busy texting their friends about concerts or the latest fashion, Frantzline Tingue is busy asking hers to read. The 15-year-old Liverpool resident recently published her first novel.
"It is called 'That Wednesday' because on a Wednesday of November, a girl named Darcy, her mom dies in a car accident and throughout the book she figures out mysteries, and stuff happens in her teenage life," she said.
The soft-spoken teen worked on the novel for 3½ years and has written it in a combination journal and third-person format.
A native of New York City, Tingue had been writing stories and poems since she was 5. With a wide gap in ages, and the youngest in a family of four siblings, Tingue often found herself lonely for a playmate.
This is something she has turned into a positive experience.
"I would like to thank my brother and sisters for not playing with me. Because of that, I have a great imagination," she said.
And it was this imagination that inspired her to ask questions, which led to a novel.
"I asked myself what would I do if my mother died? Then my grandmother, who was like a mom to me, did die. I went through the stages of grief," she said.
She is quick to point out that she prefers mysteries and survival stories over fairy tales.
"I like the tragedy, books that are different. With sad kids that may be poor and bullied. And how they overcame these situations," she said.
Overcoming difficult situations is something Tingue knows well.
The family is Haitian and French, with mother Micheline working as a nurse, and father Frantz on a local radio show. Her brother, Franck, 24, helped with the title and contributed financially for the publishing.
After moving from New York City to Liverpool when she was 7, Tingue found herself one of the few Haitian or blacks in the school.
"The school I came from in New York City, everyone was black. So it was difficult for a while," she said.
And like the character in her novel, Tingue persevered and found herself on the honors list at school and participating in track and field, softball and baseball.
Although half her life has been spent in Central New York, she still has a love for the big city.
"Most people like seeing land, I like seeing buildings," she said. "It is too quiet here. I need noise to sleep."
While family and friends supported Tingue's efforts to write, a few teachers took special interest.
A fifth-grade teacher, Peter Crump, boasted of Tingue's writing to others. But it took another teacher to encourage her to publish it.
"I had Mrs. Andrea O'Brien, my English teacher, read it," she said.
O'Brien is listed in the dedication of the book. With O'Brien's encouragement, Tingue made the decision to self-publish the novel, and chose AuthorHouse.
This fall she enters Liverpool High School, but is not sure about her future as a full-time author.
"Writing has always been a hobby for me," she said. Her first royalty check is due to arrive this summer and Tingue is being frugal. "It is going in my savings," she said.
She also is busy working on another book.
"The main character is a 12-year-old boy who comes up against many obstacles in life," she said.
And, like Tingue, he will overcome them.
"That Wednesday" is on sale through Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com for around $14.

Players with ties to Fort Dorchester and Ashley Ridge high schools helped the North Charleston Dixie Majors All-stars capture the World Series championship last week.
North Charleston won four straight games over teams from Virginia, Florida, Louisiana and Alabama to advance to the finals of the tournament held in Ozark, Ala. All but one of those victories was by a margin of five runs or more.
However, the team from Paris, Texas ended North Charlestons winning streak with an 11-1 victory to set up one final game for the title of the double-elimination tournament. The next day, North Charleston scored two runs in the first inning and then rode the pitching of Charleston Southern University hurler Tyler Pickard to a 2-1 victory that clinched the Dixie Majors (ages 15-19) World Series championship. Pickard only allowed six hits in seven innings on the hill.
Our hitting was inconsistent the whole tournament, said Fort Dorchester graduate Myles Snype, who started in right field for the North Charleston All-stars this summer. There were games when our hitting was on, but in the games when it wasnt our pitching pulled us through. We have a great pitching staff and practically everyone on the team can pitch so we have plenty of depth.
Snype was on the 2011 North Charleston team that advanced to the Dixie Majors World Series but fell short of clinching a championship so he was one of several members of this years team who set out this season to bring the World Series championship back to South Carolina. With a total of four championships, North Charleston is now one of a handful of teams on the cusp of setting a new record for the most Dixie Majors titles.
It was a great experience, Snype said. In 2011 I was just a freshman and didnt get to play much but this year I did and it was a lot of fun.
Two of his high-school teammates were also on the North Charleston team this summer. Malik Grant played first base for the team and Ryan Thomas was one of the teams catchers.
A pair of Ashley Ridge graduates also helped the team to its fourth World Series title. Wesley Aschenbrenner contributed as an infielder and Jason Miller pitched and also spent time in the infield.
Thomas is a rising senior expected to return as Fort Dorchesters catcher in the spring. The others are all preparing for their freshman year of college.
Snype will join the Benedict College baseball team while Miller will play for The Citadel and Aschenbrenner will play for USC Salkehatchie. Grant will attend Coastal Carolina University.
Longtime Dixie Majors coach Kenny Wilkinson, a member of the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame, was again the person who spearheaded North Charlestons run at the championship.

- The stakeholders should work closely with the public and victims to map out a crime matrix to identify highly prone and high risk areas.
- The state government, via the local councils, should identify if anything can be done to improve infrastructure at the identified areas e.g. clearing of bushes, install more street lights/lamps, install CCTV cameras, send out local authority officers to make regular visits to the areas, identify any illegal activities and identify high risk individuals or groups in the areas.
- Police should work hand-in-hand with the local councils and state governments to provide training to local/residential security guards and volunteers on methods to combat crime. Police should plan out their resources to focus on public safety, surveillance, prevention and investigation.
- Federal government should make special allocations available to state governments and the police force for the purpose of fighting crime. Allocations should be given to voluntary corps and community security forces to help strengthen their ability to fight crime.
- The police force should not get involved in any politically motivated operations and to reserve their resources for crime fighting purposes only.
- A comprehensive study should be conducted to understand the nature of crime and what can be done to address them. The solutions needed might not just be more policing but they can also come from the socio-economic and education angles. It is pertinent to address the root cause of crime.

Fighting Crime: A Chance for Bipartisan Cooperation
2 comments:
Gavin khoo Kay Peng, pls spare me your kaki bodek approach on not crticising scUMNO & PDRM. How long has the issue of crime been highlighted by the oppostition and yet no serious action is taken, instead blaming it on perception, and allocating police resource to harassing the opposition.
And not just no action, since after 308 PR has applied to KDN to set up their own Auxilliary Police force with their own funds, why reluctance & delay in approving it ????
So stop telling PR folks they must work with BN. Is the thick-skin & skull BN willing to do so in the first place ?
you TOKKOK lah !!
- Kay Peng Khoo said...
Anon 12.14am,
For your info and ignorance, the PR leaders had objected to the establishment of RELA too. They were worried that these forces, auxiliary or not, might ended up being a bigger a nuisance that they were created to tackle. Why? Because, unlike the police or the army, recruits are properly selected and trained.
So, the best way is to get the state, local council, fed govt and the police together to work on a viable solution.
By the way, the only thing a PR fella like you know is being foulmouthed ? By using insults to engage in a discourse is surely going to erode the respect I have for PR supporters and cyber troopers like you.

Gov. Jerry Brown says he believes the public still has confidence in the safety of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
State transportation officials recently disclosed that nearly three dozen seismic safety bolts on the eastern span of the bridge had broken. But Brown says people generally understand there will be construction problems on major infrastructure projects.
"Look, (stuff) happens," he told reporters Tuesday after attending a memorial ceremony at the California Highway Patrol Academy in West Sacramento for officers killed in the line of duty.
The span has cost $6.4 billion so far.
Brown says it's too soon to say if the bridge will open as scheduled on Labor Day. Officials say the remaining bridge bolts have shown no sign of failure.

From University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine; University of California, San Francisco; and Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Francisco, California.
Background: The relation between endogenous steroid hormones and risk for breast cancer is uncertain. Measurement of sex hormone levels may identify women at high risk for breast cancer who should consider preventive therapies.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that serum concentrations of estradiol and testosterone predict risk for breast cancer.
Design: Prospective case-cohort study.
Setting: Four clinical centers in the United States.
Participants: 97 women with confirmed incident breast cancer and 244 randomly selected controls; all women were white, 65 years of age or older, and were not receiving estrogen.
Measurements: Sex-steroid hormone concentrations were assayed by using serum that was collected at baseline and stored at −190 °C. Risk factors for breast cancer were ascertained by questionnaire. Incident cases of breast cancer were confirmed by review of medical records during an average period of 3.2 years.
Results: The relative risk for breast cancer in women with the highest concentration of bioavailable estradiol (≥ 6.83 pmol/L or 1.9 pg/mL) was 3.6 (95% CI, 1.3 to 10.0) compared with women with the lowest concentration. The risk for breast cancer in women with the highest concentration of free testosterone compared with those with the lowest concentration was 3.3 (CI, 1.1 to 10.3). The estimated incidence of breast cancer per 1000 person-years was 0.4 (CI, 0.0 to 1.3) in women with the lowest levels of bioavailable estradiol and free testosterone compared with 6.5 (CI, 2.7 to 10.3) in women with the highest concentrations of these hormones. Traditional risk factors for breast cancer were similar in case-patients and controls. Adjustments for these risk factors had little effect on the results.
Conclusions: Estradiol and testosterone levels may play important roles in the development of breast cancer in older women. A single measurement of bioavailable estradiol and free testosterone may be used to estimate a woman's risk for breast cancer. Women identified as being at high risk for breast cancer as determined by these hormone levels may benefit from antiestrogen treatment for primary prevention.
Incidence expressed per 1000 person-years. Quartile 1: free testosterone, up-slanting diagonally striped bar; quartiles 2 and 3: free testosterone, white bar; quartile 4: free testosterone, down-slanting diagonally striped bar.

If you enjoy playing puzzle games on your computer, then might I suggest EyeWire, a puzzle-meets-coloring book online game that simultaneously provides the opportunity to contribute to science! The brainchild of the Seung neuroscience laboratory at MIT, EyeWire teaches its players how to trace neuronal projections through 3D reconstructions of the retina. In this, the human players "spot check" computer algorithms used by the laboratory to perform the same task, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a clearer picture of the retinal connectome. The EyeWire website contains links to a Wiki page that provides background to the project, a forum, and a blog. The game is equipped with an extensive tutorial and a nice user interface. EyeWire is challenging and fun, and one's time spent playing it certainly goes toward a worthy cause!

Our rating on Hyundai Card Co. Ltd. (HCC; BBB/Stable/--) reflects its adequate capitalization level, good business relationship with Hyundai Motor Co.

Bill Ansley was a great guy as well as a great businessman, said those who knew him.
William B. Ansley Jr., 63, Duncansville, died Friday at home after a courageous battle with cancer.
Fred Imler II, a partner in Imler's Poultry, said he and Ansley had known each other since childhood when they would ride horses together.
Throughout the years, the men spent a lot of time together enjoying the outdoors.
"We hunted, fished and camped together, and we used to go to NASCAR races together," Imler said. "We rode ATVs together for many years and many miles."
Bob Zeigler, president of Zeigler Chevrolet, Claysburg, was close friends with Ansley and Imler and traveled with them to South America to hunt and fish.
"Bill was a great traveling companion. He went with the flow and enjoyed the sights and sounds wherever our trips took us," Zeigler said.
Over the past five years, Ansley's real passion was going down to Spruce Creek to hunt groundhogs with Wayne Harpster.
"They would kill them, skin them and eat them," Imler said.
Ansley's brother-in-law Randy Stoltz of Hollidaysburg said Ansley was a generous man.
"Bill was just the salt of the earth, he was one of those rare people who only had nice things to say about anybody," Stoltz said.
In 1969, with his father William B. Ansley, he became co-owner of Ansley & Lewis Inc. In 1972, Bill and his father purchased their first RVs and established what is today Ansley RV.
His father was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1980.
"Bill took over the business and grew it from almost nothing into one of the number one RV dealerships in the eastern United States. Ansley RV is recognized all over the United States, and that is a testament to him," Stoltz said. "He was one of the smartest and shrewdest business people I ever met."
"Bill was a very aggressive business person. He took a lot of chances. That was a big part of his success," Imler said.
Zeigler said he, like Ansley, took over the family business at a young age.
"We both bounced a lot of business decisions off of each other. He gave me some great advice. He used his common sense more than anybody I knew," Zeigler said. "He was a great inspiration to me."
Steve Minnigh, Ansley RV manager, who has worked for the business for 26 years, said Ansley cared about his employees.
"He just really wanted the best for his people and tried to take care of them. He was a great boss and a great owner," Minnigh said. "He wanted to make sure everybody was taken care of from the guy who cleaned the campers to the guy who sold them."
Ansley is survived by his wife Diane, sons William B. III and Marc D., seven grandchildren, three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews.
Friends will be received from 2 to 8 p.m. today at The Good Funeral Home Inc. at Alto-Reste Park Cemetery with a Masonic service to be held at 7 p.m. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Carson Valley Church of the Brethren, Duncansville.
