LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 19, 2012) — New Traditions.
That sounds like an oxymoron, but in reality the phrase could not be more appropriate for the newest addition to University of Kentucky's statuary.
Until recently, it was just known as "That Wildcat Sculpture in Front of Memorial Coliseum." But now students by campus-wide vote have gifted the sculpture with a name, a dignified name with a noble history.
The Wildcat's name is now Bowman, after John Bowman, the visionary whose determination and perseverance assured the creation and future of the University of Kentucky. In the midst of the Civil War with soldiers from both armies invading its lands, Bowman challenged the state to courageously invest in the future, to take advantage of the Morrill Land-Grant College Act of 1862 to build a public university in Lexington. But Frankfort's coffers were bare; both the legislature and the governor opposed him, and the public couldn't get behind the idea of public, nonsectarian higher education. But Bowman persevered against all odds, and today we enjoy all that the University of Kentucky brings to our lives.
Already visitors to Wildcat Alumni Plaza are sharing small habits that are slowly growing into traditions. They are already patting Bowman's head or rubbing his nose and stroking his paws, all for good luck one assumes.
"Bowman, the Wildcat sculpture, stands for the pride students, alumni and employees share and serves as a friendly ambassador to campus visitors," said Leslie Hayes, Alumni Association program coordinator, who spearheaded the effort to find Bowman a name. "Not too many years from now, Bowman will be a sentimental connection today's students will share as alumni."

And it's all over - the match - and Scotland's slim hopes of qualification for the World Cup in Brazil. After a difficult start Scotland looked to have found their feet and with Gareth Bale going off with Scotland leading 1-0 thanks to Grant Hanley it was all looking good. Then came the penalty, Snodgrass's sending off and what turned out to be the matchwinner a couple of minutes later. We'll have the match report from the game and a picture gallery on the site in just a moment. But from all of us here at dailyrecord.co.uk - thank you for joining us and good night and please take care if you are out in the snow tonight!
And that's it, final whistle and all over at Hampden.
Scotland 1 Wales 2
Shaun Maloney sends a free kick spinning high over the bar from 25 yards. That will be the last chance...
Straight red card for Ramsay after he got caught on the ball and then pulled his man down! Had no-one to blame but himself there. Wales down to ten men.
Strike from Charlie Adam blocked, Scotland pushing for the equaliser in the dying moments...
The stands at Hampden look empty now. The Tartan Army have deserted...
Four minutes of injury time added on at Hampden...
Bellamy raging with Hanley after he steps in and wins the ball cleanly. Thankfully the youngster's not been intimidated. Just getting on with play despite the constant whinging.
God, if only Charlotte Church was here. She could have sung the national anthems instead of Amy McDonald.
WALES SUB - Ledley off, Simon Church (any relation of Charlotte?) is on
And we're back - after a quick restart. What's been happening? Allan Mcgregor has made a great save to deny King at his near post and Hutton has wiped out Ledley on the edge of the box. The Celtic man is in pain, but is okay to continue.
Davie Provan can moan all he wants - as can Craig Bellamy - but Grant Hanley has won the ball, protected himself and taken out the Wales striker there. Absolutely nothing wrong with that and thankfully the ref agrees.
Gary Caldwell gets a warning, but no card, for going through Bellamy. Jordan Rhodes warming up on the sidelines and now having a word with Gordon Strachan.
Nightmare for Scotland. A cross comes in from Scotland's left flank, Robson-Kanu gets between the two centre backs and has the time and space to pick his spot and power home his header. Two goals in 90-odd seconds for Wales and with Scotland now down to ten men, it's hard to see a way back.
GOAL WALES - 74 minutes - Robson-Kanu!!!
To be fair - the ref has got that right, eventually! Snodgrass slides in rashly on Gunter, trying to block his cross. He cements the Welshman, the whistle blows, a free kick is given and Snodgrass is shown a second yellow. The ref then gets a call from his linesman, gives the foul inside the box and Ramsay scores the penalty. 1-1 at Hampden.
And - after much deliberation - he has given a penalty!!!
RED CARD - Snodgrass sent off!!!
Booking for Grant Hanley - who nearly decapitates Williams with a sliding challenge that sends him somersaulting through the air before landing on his head. Hanley going for the ball there and although it looked bad, he had to make that challenge. Bellamy's shot then saved by McGregor.

FireCorehas just announced on its forum that they are "hard at work" on a new version of Seas0nPassthat takes advantage of the evasi0n jailbreak. They expect to have it available "soon".
Apple TV 2
This time we didn't write a word on a new jailbreak until we had everything double checked. And so, as we have just jailbroken our Apple TV 2 running 5.2 firmware, we can now confirm that the recently updated Sn0wbreeze 2.9.8 does bring the untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 on iOS 6.x.
UPDATE: Although it has been confirmed by @MuscleNerd that evasi0n would support Apple TV 2, it seems that it doesn't. Based on earlier news from evad3rs team, we believed their jailbreak was compatible with Apple TV 2 when publishing the below post just a few minutes after evasi0n went live. We are very sorry for causing confusion. We now have to wait for Seas0nPass to be updated with iOS 6.x support for Apple TV 2. We believe it won't take long.
UPDATE 2: How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2 (iOS 6.1) using Seas0nPass (untethered; Mac & Windows)
Evad3rs, a group of four top iOS hackers (@pod2g, @musclenerd, @pimskeks and @planetbeing) has just released a long-awaited evasi0n jailbreak for all iDevices running iOS 6.0 through 6.1, that include Apple TV 2 running software version 5.1, 5.1.1 or the latest 5.2. This is an untethered jailbreak, meaning you will be able to reboot your Apple TV without attaching it to a computer. Evasi0n jailbreak doesn't support Apple TV 3 (however, there is some hope that it will in the future).
If you are one of our faithful fans who have XBMC Eden (11.0) installed on your jailbroken Apple TV 1, Apple TV 2, or any other device for that matter, we have some exciting news for you: the development team over at xbmc.org has been hard at work, this past month, preparing to release the latest iteration of their multimedia center software known only as Frodo (12.0). This update comes complete with a great deal of improvements, bug fixes, and extended hardware support. The real question is what will this mean for us Apple TV junkies. Well, this new build offers:

Apple TV software update 5.2 brings Bluetooth keyboard support, iTunes in the Cloud and AirPlay audio for videos
Apple has just released Apple TV software update 5.2 for the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV, adding Bluetooth keyboard support, iTunes in the Cloud and AirPlay audio for videos. The update also includes some performance and stability improvements with the iTunes Store, AirPlay, Netflix, iTunes Match, and wired Ethernet connections.
Apple TV 2 users waiting for iOS 6.1 jailbreak should not upgrade until evad3rs team says the update is safe. We will keep you updated.
Untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will most likely support Apple TV 2, Apple TV 3 still waiting for its turn but there's some hope (updated)
Update: MuscleNerd has just confirmed that Apple TV 2 will be covered by the iOS 6.1 jailbreak.
iOS hacker @MuscleNerd has confirmed on Twitter that the upcoming untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will support all iOS 6.1 compatible devices, except Apple TV 3. If Apple releases a software update for Apple TV 2 in time, which MuscleNerd claims is very likely, this device will also be supported. Untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1 is expected to be released by evad3rs team just after Apple releases the latest version of its mobile OS to the public.

- pSessionId[]:Pointer to a user defined structure holding a sessionId. The sessionId is used to identify repeated connections to the same host and port. It can significantly reduce the secure negotiation overhead when connecting to the same host and port. The value of this parameter is typically a pointer to a structure containing 1) the hostname or host ip address, and 2) the host port number. If this pointer is null, ISSL always performs the full negotiation with the server.

Side Effect
The IPort passed in must be open and connected to a server that is ready to start an SSL negotiation. Note that the IPort passed is an object with a vtable. It doesn't have to be a standard BREW IPort, but can instead be an object that implements IPort. By this mechanism ISSL can be used on top of any data stream object.

Back in fifth grade, I used to be part of a music group called Ethnic Ensemble, where we used woodwind and percussion instruments to make tribal sounds. I was in it for two years, making my way from vice presidency to presidency of the club, until I realized I could've been doing something much cooler like learning to play an electric guitar instead of hitting boring gongs and being all hippie and stuff. I swear I wasted my time being part of all these trivial clubs that I later never used for anything worthwhile whatsoever. I also used to be an active environmentalist, a tree hugger who traveled outside my country to talk about nature issues. I'm really not sure how these things have shaped me to be the person I am today. If anything, they made me more adaptable to people's cultures and ideas without being easily swayed against what I already strongly believe in.
With my educational background in environmentalism, I also got to learn a little about eco-friendly fashion, more commonly known as "ethical fashion." Even though my idealism for flora and fauna has died down, I still believe that we are to be responsible stewards of God's creation. My stand on being a servant to God also applies to fashion, but it does not just include the eco-friendly materials or the naturally safe process behind the making of clothes. I think there is enough information and support out there for ethical fashion, so I am adding my support for the morality that has disappeared from fashion to the sphere of environmentalism and clothing.
This is where modesty comes in. If there is concern about the physical effects of your clothing, then why not bother to consider the mental and spiritual effects of what you are wearing? Although the physical is important, I think taking care of your mental and spiritual well-being is much more lasting. Then again, good grief, I just made myself sound like a hippie all over again… But seriously, there should be an end to sexual perversion in fashion. I'm not just talking about the extremes of creepy photographer Terry Richardson and his overly sexual exploits. I'm talking about how we let ourselves wear close to nothing on the streets or even rejoice in a little peepshow of celebrities on magazine covers and movies. Is that how we want to live: like tribal animals? We were made higher beings with the capacity for moral and ethical decisions for a reason.
What I wore: Sakura Rose garden maxi (worn with a sleeveless, high-neck shirt), necklace, bracelets, cuff, earrings | H&M tribal necklace (thanks, Vanessa!) | Parisian boots (Thanks, Ate Gayle!)

SE 108th Avenue - Burnside to Stark
The Traffic Calming Program (TCP) undertook a streamlined speed bump project in the Fall of 1995 to address traffic problems identified by residents along SE 108th Avenue from Burnside to Stark.
The goal of the project was to enhance street safety and livability by reducing the 85th percentile speed of vehicles using SE 108th Avenue closer to the legal maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). Speed bumps are the only device considered for streets like SE 108th Avenue, which are classified as Local Service Streets, are not transit or primary fire response routes and have vehicle volumes between 400 and 1700 vehicles per day. Speed bumps have proven to be effective tools to reduce vehicle speed without impacting access. It is not an intended goal to reduce traffic volume on low-volume Local Service Streets.
SE 108th Avenue serves a single family residence commercial neighborhood. Burnside, to the north, is a Neighborhood Collector street. Stark, at SE 108th Avenue's south end, is a Major City Traffic street. SE 108th Avenue has neither sidewalks or curbs. A portion of the daily traffic on SE 108th Avenue is believed to be cut-through traffic due to a traffic signal at Burnside which allows crossing of the MAX rail line.
Open House
All residents along SE 108th Avenue were invited to an open house October 17, 1995 to review and comment on the proposed speed bump installation. Eight people attended the open house. Those who attended expressed approval for the proposed project. A petition was available at the open house for residents along SE 108th Avenue to sign and was circulated after the open house by a local resident. Of the 33 households along the street, 32, or 96.7%, signed the petition requesting speed bump installation.
Three 14-foot speed bumps, at 420 foot spacing, were constructed along the 0.23 mile stretch of SE 108th Avenue, Burnside to Stark, on September 28, 1996 by the Bureau of Maintenance.
As the graph shows, vehicle speeds, previously concentrated between 26 and 31 mph, have been shifted into the range of 20 to 25 mph. The average 85th percentile vehicle speed before the project was 33.3 mph. After bump construction the average 85th percentile speed is 25.6 mph and ranges from a low of 22 mph (near the bumps) to a high of 29 mph.
The traffic volume measured before bump construction averaged 730 vehicles per day (vpd) and varied from 720 to 740 vpd. After bump construction volumes averaged 640 vpd and ranged from 610 to 680 vpd. No parallel side streets were identified as potential diversion routes.
Traffic Calming on SE 108th Avenue, Burnside to Stark has successfully reduced the 85th percentile closer to the posted speed, enhancing street safety and livability.

In Win Metal Suit GD Reviewgotdamojo06 -
» Discuss this article (0)
Closer Look:
Working Components:
When you take the side panel off of the In Win Metal Suit GD, you will be surprised by a large piece of black plastic that makes its way all the way from the front bezel to the back side of the case. This large piece of molded black plastic has two fans located on it and acts as an air duct sucking fresh air in from outside of the case and moving it not only to the expansion cards that are installed inside, but also to the hard drive cage near the front. Right beside the two bright yellow 80mm fans is "In Win" printed on the black air duct.
When you drop down the black air duct, you are able to reveal the hard drive cage that is completely covered by the large air duct. This is so that the hard drives that you may have installed are able to receive fresh air to be cooled with. When you take a closer look at the hard drive cage, you can see that directly in front of it a fan measuring in at 120mm size and colored bright yellow like the other fans. There is a tab that you are able to lift up that will allow you to rotate the cage a little so that you are able to remove the 120mm front air intake fan, as well as allow for a more convenient way to run any wires you need to hide.
When you take a look at the back of the case, you can see that right by the spot where you mount the power supply, In Win has decided to make the Metal Suit GD computer case watercooling ready; this was done by drilling two holes and fitting them with rubber to keep the sharp edges from cutting the tubing as you shove it in the hole. Like just about every other case on the market, there is a 120mm fan on the back that will blow out the warm air from inside the case to keep the ambient temperature inside the case lower, which is the same with this case.
The side panel that I removed earlier has two different air filters that are able to keep a lot of dust from being introduced in the chassis, which will result in less buildup between the fins of the heatsinks in your case. One of the sections on the top is not only an air filter, but is also an air duct. This enables the air being sucked in from your processor's heatsink/fan setup to be sucked directly in from outside of the case. The other filter is located toward the bottom of the panel and this is where the two 80mm fans on the big, black air duct pull their air from outside the case.
Behind the front bezel of the case is where you can see how In Win wired up the lights to work on the front of the case, and how the front IO panel on the side of the case and power/reset buttons work. You can also see where the mesh that allows the 120mm fan in the front of the case to suck air in from.
The Metal Suit GD has a unique feature. The installation of the 5.25" and 3.5" drives utilize a tool-less installation design; there are plastic strips that you set on the side of the drive and then all you have to do is slide it into the slot and it will stay in with a very small amount of vibration due to the rubber on the plastic strips.

text: Cambridge University produced many of the University Wits such as Marlowe who provided the precedents and rivals for Shakespeare. However, Marlowe's studies at Cambridge were not well maintained. Surviving college records indicate Marlowe had unusual absences from the university – much longer than permitted by university regulations – that began in the academic year 1584-1585. Surviving college dining-room accounts indicate he began spending lavishly on food and drink during the periods he was in attendance – more than he could have afforded on his known scholarship income. In 1587 the Privy Council ordered Cambridge University to award Marlowe his MA, denying rumours that he intended to go to the English Catholic college in Rheims, saying instead that he had been engaged in unspecified "affaires" on "matters touching the benefit of his country". This is from a document dated 29 June 1587, from the Public Records Office – Acts of Privy Council. Image author: Jerzy Kociatkiewicz from Colchester, United Kingdom.

How to Build a Zero-based Budget
|Email Print
A zero based budget is a budget where every dollar you earn is assigned to a category in your budget. Your income minus your expenses equals zero – zero based budget. The idea sounds very simple, and it is, but the real value in creating and following a zero-based budget is that it requires you to plan very deliberately ahead of time and track it very closely as you go through your month.
Benefits of Zero Based Budgets
The main benefit of creating a zero based budget is in the creation process. By forcing you to assign a dollar of income to each expense, you are taking a look at the entirety of your finances. You are forced to remember and allocate dollars to otherwise automatic expenses – such as rent, car insurance, and cable television. As you go through the budgeting process, you might consider shopping those services around to see if you can get them for less so you can spend that money on another expense.
Another big benefit is that by assigning each dollar of income to a category in your budget, you move away from a mindset of casual spending to one of deliberate spending. Unlike envelope budgeting, where you have some wiggle room, you take that wiggle room away when you zero base your budget because there's no miscellaneous envelope.
Creating a Zero Based Budget
- List your sources of income. Your budget starts with a list of your household income – paychecks, bank interest, investment dividends, etc.
- List your expenses. This step is probably going to be your hardest because you have to remember all the expenses you pay for each month. Remember expenses that might be paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis like insurance. Break out aggregate payments like your mortgage – principal, interest, taxes, insurance. Then add a savings expense (or one savings expense for each savings goal you have) and a discretionary category (separate this from an entertainment). As you use the budget, add to this list so that it captures each expense you have.
- Allocate income to fixed expenses. Fixed expenses are those that you can't change easily – like your mortgage payment or cable bill. You can change them if you wanted to (refinance or sell your house, change cable plans) but they're not like a "restaurant" category that you can chance very easily.
- Try to make adjustments to fixed expenses. If you wanted to shop around for cable television or your insurance policy, I recommend doing that so you can distribute more of your income to more fluid categories. You may even decide to cut some of these fixed expenses, like a magazine subscription or Netflix.
- Start allocating to fluid expenses based on history. If you've never kept a budget, make an educated guess. If you have, use what you think is a reasonable amount.
- Zero your budget. At this point, if your income doesn't equal your expenses, start playing around with it until it does. Add more to savings or discretionary balances (it never hurts to be ahead of schedule on savings!) or some other fluid category.
- Stick to your budget. Now, as you go about your month, track your spending an stick to your budget. It's difficult to go from no budget to zero based budgeting but if you can stick with it, it will pay dividends down the road.
- Adjusting your budget. Each month, as you have your spending data, adjust your categories to fit your actual use and adjust your actual use to fit your budget. 🙂 Somewhere in the middle is where you will need to be, so constant adjustment is important. Also, if you have extra slack in your budget (ie. you have $1000 in income and despite having it all budgeted out, you spent $990), take the slack and add it to your discretionary or savings category. If you're under (spent more than your budget), you have to take a look at your categories, which you've now neatly laid out, and find areas to make some cuts.
As you can see, zero based budgeting is very deliberate but not unlike many other budgeting methods. It's also a budgeting methodology that requires very little in the way of tools. While you could turn to a budgeting tool to help you out, the hard work is in the planning and adjustment of your zero based budget. All that can be done, fairly easily, using Microsoft Excel or some other spreadsheet application.

Unique Rare Vinyl LP Record Michael Jackson Thriller 82
Really Unique and quite Rare LP Records from the 70's & 80's.
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Thriller is the sound of Michael Jackson in 1982, when he was the coolest, slinkiest, prettiest pop star alive.
He was Boy George times Rick James and beat both of them at their games.
He taught Boy George fans and Rick James fans to hear each other's music,
just as he taught Van Halen, Lionel Richie, ZZ Top, Stevie Nicks and Bruce Springsteen to play to this grand new pop-thrills audience he'd called to the floor.
After this, nobody claimed disco sucked again!
"Billie Jean" was the hit, with MJ's voice aching with erotic longing and dread,
and nearly five minutes of creepy strings and seductive bass and breathy gasps,
though there wasn't a station on the dial that faded the song out early.
"Beat It" was the one designed to get on rock radio — but "Billie Jean" got there first, since the rock stations played it, along with the rest of the world.
They couldn't resist that bass. Who could?
Rob Sheffield - Rolling Stone Reviewer
This album comes from my personal collection (opps, now i have given my age away ;-])
my problem is that i no longer have a record player to play them!!!
If you love your 70s - 80's music as much as i do, just sit back and enjoy them...
and it won't be long till you'll be feeling that same old groove again,
and those great old memories will come flooding back...

Chat transcript: Brad Marchand
Providence Bruins right wing Brad Marchand entered the AHL Chat Room on May 21 to discuss the Bruins' Eastern Conference Finals series against the Hershey Bears, some of the differences between playing in juniors and in the American Hockey League, the NHL players who have most influenced his style of play, and much more...
What types of adjustments did you have to make this season as you jumped from juniors up to the American Hockey League? – Jared from
I think the biggest difference was the speed of the game, and that guys are a lot bigger and a lot stronger. A big adjustment is that in juniors, there's a lot more time and space, and it's a lot easier to make plays. It was tough coming in here and scoring goals, the first half of the season was really slow. It took awhile to get used to everything. You have to learn how to move the puck quicker, move in and bust to an area and get it back, and I think that was the biggest adjustment.
I think it was just after Christmas (when I really adjusted). The first half was real slow, and I came back in January and sat down with the coaches and Don Sweeney. I think from that point forward, I had a lot more confidence, and I also had a lot more opportunity. A few guys were up in (the NHL) and there was more playing time, but from that point things went smoother.

I think from that point forward, I had a lot more confidence, and I also had a lot more opportunity. A few guys were up in (the NHL) and there was more playing time, but from that point things went smoother.
What do you feel you need to improve on to have a chance at playing in
A few things. I need to work on getting bigger, stronger, and faster. I have to make sure that I keep my head up, move pucks around and not be too selfish with it. I also have to hit more, use more body contact. You know, when you watch a (
Unlike your first two playoff opponents, you only played two games against Hershey during the regular season. What did the team try to focus on in preparing for the first two games last weekend? – Steve from
Yeah, we didn't have a whole lot of time. But our coaches talked to the coaches of the other teams that Hershey has beat out and tried to get their systems down, find out what they did and how they beat the previous two teams. And we just wanted to continue playing the way we are. We wanted to make sure Tuukka (Rask) is on his game because he's playing phenomenal right now, and make sure everyone is playing the same way we did the last two series – work hard, keep it simple, and play playoff hockey. We don't want to focus a whole lot on what they're doing, but more on what we're doing.
But we went over their systems, had a meeting about their players, and typical things that a team will do before a new series, but other than that we just wanted to make sure we keep playing the way we are.
How important was it to come out of a tough Hershey environment with a split heading into the break between Games 2 and 3? – Andrea from
It was huge. We really wanted to go in and make sure we at least took one of those games in Hershey. And that first one was huge for us. We didn't want to be battling in the second game to make sure we got one win out of it – obviously it would have been nice to get two, and it came close to happening, but it was very big for us coming back here for three games at home to be tied 1-1. We were really happy with how it went, and hopefully we can continue rolling well here at home.
From what you have seen so far, how dangerous is Hershey's offense, and how important has goaltender Michal Neuvirth been in the series? –
Their goalie has been OK, you know, I don't think he's really had to stand on his head a whole lot. In the first game he made a couple big saves, but we were still able to come out with the win. The second game was more their offense, that's really where they came alive. They're extremely dangerous every time they're on the ice. They have four very balanced lines, six strong defensemen, take advantage of almost any opportunity and can make something out of nothing.
We have to make sure at all times we have five guys back, and everybody's playing their positions the way they should be. We have to make sure we don't take many penalties because their power play is phenomenal, with very dangerous players. You know, top scorers in the league, top goal-scorer, MVP, so they're obviously very offensively gifted.
Do top
Yeah, I think there's pressure every game for everyone on the ice. Everyone wants to make sure they can chip in offensively, and when they have the opportunity, they want to capitalize. I know our top lines have to make sure we continue to score and compete with their offense. If we're going to go far, everyone has to score and the defensive players have to keep the pucks out of the net. So we have to make sure that we continue to capitalize on our opportunities. They're a very strong team and their goaltender is playing well for them, so we have to make sure to bury opportunities when we do have them.
Some have suggested that the busy upcoming schedule in the series favors Hershey due to the depth they've shown all season long. What do you think of that theory? – Jim from
Oh, I don't think that's a correct theory at all. We've played three games in three nights pretty much every weekend of the season this year, and we're very used to it. Three in four is nothing for us. Our bodies train for that, our coaches train for it, the whole team is ready for it, and I think the way it goes in playoffs is you just take one game at a time. You worry about the first game, and the next day you worry about the next game. So we're not worried about the last game of this three-game series here at home, we're worried about the first one, and then we'll worry about the second and third when the time comes.
The first game is going to be huge. They're going to want to come in, knowing that we have three straight at home, and steal the first one and make sure they at least take it back to Hershey for a game. We've got to make sure we counter them and come out well, and really use our fans as a momentum-booster. We're expecting them all to be dressed in black and gold here this weekend, and we're really looking forward to it so hopefully we come out fine and capture the first game.
What's it like to know that you're just a few wins from the Calder Cup Finals? –
Yeah, it's crazy. I didn't think my first year as a pro that I'd have an opportunity to go to the Calder Cup Finals or I'd be this close. You know, we're one of four teams left out of however many there are in the league, and it's a tremendous opportunity. But we're still a ways away. Three wins seems close, but it's still a long ways away, so we have to make sure that we go game by game. But it's a very exciting feeling.
What are the major differences between the AHL playoffs and the QMJHL playoffs? – Isaac from
I think the biggest thing was it's a lot more physical in the American League than it was in junior. In junior, guys were more worried about scoring goals than they were about taking the body. Here, guys are out to hurt and play the physical game. It's a whole different game, you're playing with men down here, they're fully grown, they're so strong, and they're used to playing these long playoff rounds. Being a young guy, it's tough coming in, it gets tiring on the body and you get beat up and bruised. But it's a lot of fun, a whole new experience, and it's great to go through.
Where has been your favorite place to play an away game, and why? – Courtney from
I've got a few.
What was your favorite NHL team as a kid, and why? – Kenny from
I know now that I'm with the Bruins organization that I'm supposed to say
It was pretty crazy (when I joined the Bruins organization) because I actually have a couple of uncles who are huge Bruins fans and have been for their whole lives. We were all watching (the draft) on the computer, and I thought I got drafted by the
Growing up, which players most influenced the way you play the game now? – Brian from
I think my dad had a lot to do with the style that I play now. He kind of pushed me to be a pest on the ice, always in guys faces, and pushed me to be more of a skilled player, too. But I followed a few guys from the NHL. Joe Sakic was always my favorite player growing up. I always tried to have a shot like him, I worked on my shot all the time in the basement and tried to shoot like he did. As I got older (Martin)
What are some of the things you like to do in your free time, when you're not playing hockey? – Andrew from
Besides hockey, my favorite thing is hunting. I'm huge into that, always have been, and my family has been big into it. We have a few hunting camps back home, and have gone to moose-hunting camps up in

Kids Fashion Spotlight: Moi Kidz
Last year I headed off to UK children's fashion trade fair, Bubble London. One year later, and I can't wait to be visiting again this Sunday. With all the spring / summer 2013 collections emerging these past few weeks, I've come across countless childrenswear brands that I think you'll adore.
With freezing temperatures, Spring still feels so far off. Each day when the kids and I wake up, all we want to do is dress in our most comfy and and snuggly clothes. And that is exactly why I love children's fashion brand Moi Kidz. Their cool, urban-like basics are incredibly easy to mix and match and are so, so comfortable. Moi, originally from Scandinavia, have just released their second collection for SS13 and the best words to describe it would be funky with a dash of attitude.
Watch this space as I think you're going to see lots more from this stylish brand…

Phrased differently, we could fire the entire Commonwealth legislature, and the resulting savings would add maybe 50 competent sysadmins to the entire state government.

Do you have any superstitious habits? Do you make a mental note to not step on a crack or walk under a ladder?
The Aldine Library's beloved mural is in need of repairs once again. Nearly a year ago, the Museum of Cultural Arts, Houston came out to the branch to patch up areas of the mural that needed attention. A few weeks ago, we noticed that pieces of tile had fallen off once more. We are again working with the folks at the Museum of Cultural Arts to fix the mural. We'll have it repaired as soon as we can. We hope that by providing additional caulking and taking other measures we will have a more permanent fix to the problem.

Spring is here. What better way to express the change in seasons than in a poem?
The poet Dylan Thomas evokes images of the seasons in his Collected Poems:
"Symbols are selected from the years'
Slow rounding of the four seasons' coasts,
In autumn teach three seasons' fires
And four birds' notes."
In addressing spring, Dylan writes "Here in this spring, stars float along the void; I should learn spring by the cuckooing. . ."
Happy Spring to you!

Finite-time Singularity
A drop of water in the process of breaking apart. At the point of breakup, the fission event looks like a cone pointing into an approximately spherical drop. The cascade of structure that is produced in this process is of uncommon beauty. As the drop falls, a long neck, connecting two masses of fluid, stretches out and then breaks. What is the shape of the drop at the instant of breaking apart?
Something dire must happen to the mathematical description of the liquid at that point since the drop undergoes a topological transition where it starts out as a single, connected fluid and ends up in two or more separate pieces. This is an example of a finite-time singularity since the drop breakup occurs in a short time after the drop becomes unstable and starts to fall. At the transition, a singularity occurs since the radius of the neck holding the drop to the nozzle becomes vanishingly thin. As its radius goes to zero, the curvature diverges and the surface tension forces become infinite.
How can such dramatic dynamics occur in something which had such smooth and innocuous initial conditions and forcing terms? Using photographic techniques, we have been studying transitions such as these to understand how the non-linearities in the governing equations (in this case the Navier-Stokes equations) can be tamed and understood. Singularities of this kind occur in many areas of physics from stellar structure to turbulence to bacterial colony growth. This drop breakup problem is one of the simplest places to start an experiment which directly probes the singularity itself. We have uncovered a variety of different singularities - some of which surprisingly retain a memory of their initial conditions throughout the entire breakup process.
These and related phenomena are currently being studied experimentally by the research group of Professor Sidney Nagel and theoretically by the group of Professor Wendy Zhang. The particular image shown here is taken from X. D. Shi, M. P. Brenner, and S. R. Nagel, Science, volume 265, p. 219, 1994.

In today's often emasculating culture, how does a guy learn how to be a good man? How does a woman learn to recognize him?
Most guys spend their entire lives looking for ways to prove their manhood, while women often pay dearly for making terrible mistakes with men.
As a military correspondent, author, former stock broker and one-time U.S. Army Ranger, Chuck Holton has learned to adapt to many different roles that have tested his physical and mental endurance.
But despite his accomplishments on and off the battlefield, Holton realized there was one role for which he was unprepared.
"I've got three sons, and I woke up one day and realized, I've got to make men out of these boys," he said. "And to be honest, I'm not sure I've got this whole thing figured out yet myself."
That realization led to a three-year study of what the Bible has to say about men. He has now turned that study into a book, Making Men: Five Steps to Growing Up. The book is a guide to help dads teach their sons what true manhood looks like from a biblical perspective. It's also written for single moms to help them teach their young boys how to grow up to be men.
In it, Holton makes a distinction between "guys" and "men," and includes powerful testimonies from those who both failed and succeeded in their quest to become a man.
He talks about impact a husband and father has on his family when he answers the call to manhood.
Chuck Holton talked more about the issues addressed in his new book, Making Men, on "The 700 Club," Friday, Dec. 9.

BOISE -- Authorities in Boise say two men suffered burns and injuries when an explosion blew off the back of a home on Boise's north side.
Fire investigators say the two victims have been transported to a Salt Lake City burn center for treatment. Two others inside the house at the time escaped without injury.
The explosion, which took place this morning, caused extensive damage to the back of the house, but the force of the blast also shattered front windows and caused a partial roof collapse.
Investigators say early indications suggest a natural gas leak may have been a factor for the blast. They say one of the men who was injured told police he was looking in a clothes drier when the explosion occurred.

Anyone living in the Lowcountry this winter has surely missed the typically pleasant, sunny weather to which we are accustomed. I (Henri Bianucci) am from Chicago, so I'm not complaining, but these prolonged, and sometimes deep, bouts of cold give me a general sense of dread for the animals that have to get through them unassisted.
It was during one of these cold snaps in January that I was driving home one evening. As I neared home, I saw something from the corner of my eye. It was a white puppy with black spots standing in a gravel driveway, shivering.
I pulled in to take a look. There were nine puppies in all, and they looked like there were probably three or four different fathers. There were at least five adult dogs roaming about, keeping their distance. The owner of the property saw me and approached. I asked about the puppies. His explanation was that he fed the dogs that showed up there and allowed them to stay. That was the extent of the care he provided. The puppies appeared to be about 5 weeks old, and these weeks had not been easy ones.
From the moment they are born, something is trying to consume them from the inside and out. They were infested with intestinal worms, fleas and ticks. What strength the parasites were leaving was being rapidly consumed by the cold. I could see that they would not last long here.
I asked what he planned to do with the pups. He said his grandson wanted one and his son wanted two, but he was not sure which ones they would want. I pointed out the one who first caught my eye. She was white with black speckles and black patches over each eye. She looked emaciated, with a distended belly, indicating worm infestation. She didn't have long, so I asked if I could take her. He reluctantly agreed to let me take that one. We later named her Birdie for her resemblance to a pointer.
As I was leaving, I saw another one, apart from the group, sitting under a car, shivering. It was a little black male, about half the size of the others. He had cuts on his head, which I learned were bite wounds from his father. His distended belly dragged on the ground and his thin gaunt look and sunken eyes combined to give the appearance of a sick, baby, hyena.
"Surely neither your grandson or son would want that one," I said. The man agreed. "No, I expect not, you can take that one, too," he allowed. We called him Blackie.
When I arrived home, my wife and daughters immediately enveloped the puppies with motherly affection. They were given multiple rounds of flea baths, deworming medication, heaping quantities of food and, of course, love. The next day they were back at the mans' driveway to bring the rest home. In the end, he allowed them to take four more. All six were afraid and semi-feral at first, but their response to our care was almost immediate, and the transformation complete. They became absolute darlings.
We enlisted the help of our friend, Page, the best non-professional puppy placement service I have ever seen. She is a pure advocate for the pups. Discriminating to a fault, and unafraid to wrangle, if not offend. She single-mindedly pursues one goal: To place the puppies in the best environment possible, taking seriously the idea that she is responsible for their one shot in life.
I am happy to report that all were placed in wonderful forever homes. Blackie now resides beachside on Sullivan's Island; Birdie lives with another sibling in the Crescent.
What is important is that Blackie will never be cold again and they will all be loved and cared for.
I have gotten the property and defacto dog owner to agree to allow me to spay the mother. But as I was discussing this with him, a sweet hound/lab mix hobbled up. Her front leg was badly damaged and had healed crooked. I asked what happened and he explained that someone had shot her. He couldn't really afford a vet, and it's really not his dog, he explained. I took a second look and realized that she was pregnant.
So, in a couple of months, we will be doing it all over again. The moms mentioned here will be spayed, and the puppies will all have nice homes, but this scenario is being played out all over the place, and as spring approaches, it will get worse.
Unwanted and stray animals are synonymous with suffering. If you have dogs or cats, have them neutered or spayed. Sponsor a neighbor who cannot afford the procedure. Support your local rescue organization. The problem of pet overpopulation is man-made, and so is the solution.

Will Google Build an Uber Android?
The initial response to Google's surprise announcement on Monday that it had inked a deal to acquire Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion was that it was a move largely to protect itself from the increasing patent attacks against Android. That could be why all five major manufacturers of Android devices appear to be thrilled with the deal. Should they be? Putting aside the matter of patents, for the moment, and looking at the acquisition strictly from a technology perspective, some possible scenarios emerge that could radically realign the market for Android developers.

Injuries and the wrong kind of small ball
AT&T CENTER — Size remains a premium in the NBA, even as the league trends smaller and quicker. Since their first round playoff loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, the San Antonio Spurs have been perceived as especially vulnerable to teams with large frontlines.
While head coach Gregg Popovich continues to audition frontcourt partners for Tim Duncan—with Matt Bonner making a case for more playing time last night—the Spurs had quietly upgraded and deployed size in less obvious ways than bringing in another seven-foot shot blocker.
In trading George Hill for Kawhi Leonard and bringing back Stephen Jackson, gone were the days of three guard lineups that stressed the Spurs defensive rotations against any team with even a modicum of size on the wings. With two oversized wings, the Spurs had an endless amount of roster versatility at their disposal and a framework for better defense.
"With length at the two and three positions, often times can lend itself to a little bit better overall defense," Popovich said a season ago. "More deflections, more contested shots, better rebounding, crowding the court a little bit more. All kinds of little things that add up to big things can happen with bigger people."
With Stephen Jackson out for a 4-6 weeks with a broken finger, and Kawhi Leonard expected to be out for two weeks, the Spurs figure to be hurting for size.
"It's difficult to lose any player, especially if you lost your starting small forward a couple of games before," Manu Ginobili said when asked about Jackson's injury after the game. "We're going to be shorthanded for a while and we'll have to figure it out. It's going to be hard but it's a good test for us."
Against the Los Angeles Clippers the Spurs failed that test. While the initial defense remained stout in the fourth quarter, forcing the Clippers into a number of difficult, contested shots, any defensive rotation from the frontcourt left the Spurs vulnerable on the glass—which the Clippers exploited to great effect.
It remains to be seen what the rotation will look like without a true small forward on the roster, but their absences are sure to trickle down through the entire roster.
Outside of Tim Duncan, the Spurs frontline is largely a finesse group. For any team that employs poor-to-average-at-best defensive rebounders in DeJuan Blair, Boris Diaw, Tiago Splitter, or Matt Bonner, rebounding from the wings is a must.
Leonard and Jackson's length allowed Popovich to deploy a number of different frontcourt combinations that helped minimize their diverse big rotation's weaknesses. Jackson and Leonard's long arms helped deflect interior passes, contest shots at the rim, and more importantly, ended defensive rotations with a box out or rebound.
Without them, the Spurs have their work cut out for them.
"We're going to have to be more aggressive, rotations are going to have to be there, and all five are going to have to go to the boards," Ginobili said. "Kawhi and Jack are long and strong at that position, and that really helps us in that regard."
For the time being small ball is off the menu, unless you feel the need to burden Duncan with anchoring four guard lineups. Moving Manu Ginobili to the starting lineup keeps some size and rebounding on the wings, but takes away the key playmaker that ignites the Spurs second unit.
With Patty Mills as a viable option as the backup point guard, look for Gary Neal to get the initial nod, with Danny Green moving up to the small forward position. Unfortunately that removes him from guarding opposing point guards and puts the onus on Tony Parker to step up defensively.
The Spurs are likely going to have to outscore teams, which bodes well for Matt Bonner's ability to turbo charge a regular season offense.
If you're of the belief that the Spurs are a trade away from truly contending, now would be the perfect time to audition a backup small forward to replace the Spurs most valuable trade chip (Jackson's expiring contract).
It's also a reminder that depth is relative, and when depth at one position makes up for deficiencies at another, that depth can vanish with just one or two injuries.

Credit cards have significantly changed how money is spent, and they have given consumers the power to buy goods that they want. People are able to purchase products and services on cards by borrowing money, with the promise that they will be able to pay back in the future, subject to interest charges. They have also allowed consumers to buy goods without being present at a transaction, such as when they buy from an online vendor.
Depending on the company issuing the card, a cardholder may have a grace period where they are not subject to interest charges, providing they pay back the money they have borrowed within an allotted time.
Credit cards are undeniably beneficial, but they can be subject to fraud if cardholders are not careful and do not take the right protective measures. However, card issuers have a number of measures in place to keep users safe. Here are a few credit card features, and their uses.
What is the Card Verification Value (CVV)?
The card verification value (CVV) is a security feature used to help authenticate payments and verify a person's identity for when a transaction is made without the card being present. The CVV is used when a PIN number cannot be, and is printed on either the front or back of a credit card. There is also an online CVV Shop where you can buy them. CVV codes are typically three digits (American Express uses four), and they were first introduced by MasterCard in 1997.
While useful, the CVV has limitations when it comes to preventing against fraud. Merchants are not legally required to ask for the CVV code, and they do not prevent against phishing scams as users will input this number if they fall for a scam. Since the CVV code is short and easy to remember, writing it down elsewhere and rubbing it off from the card is a good protective measure, as a thief will not be able to access it if they steal the card.
What is a Magnetic Strip?
The magnetic strip, also known as a magstrip, is a band of magnetic material located on the back of a credit card. The strip is made up of small iron-based particles and is used to store personal data. The magnetic strip is often positioned next to the signature strip.
Credit card numbers, expiry dates and credit limits are all stored on the strip. The magnets locate in the strip are magnetized either north or south, allowing each strip to be 'written', making it unique. The strip is read when it is swiped through a reader. A card may not be accepted if the strip has been scratched or exposed to other magnets which have erased the information on it. Keeping the card in a sleeve or a wallet helps to protect it.
What is a Bank Identification Number (BIN)?
The first four to six numbers on a credit card are referred to as a bank identification number (BIN). This number is used to determine where a card is issued from. While the term indicates that BINs are used by banks, other institutions are also using the BIN technology – in this case, they are often known as Issuer Identification Numbers (IIN).
Online merchants use BINs to work out whether fraud is being committed. Each bank has a unique BIN which can be looked up to verify transactions. If the cardholder's location differs from the location the card has been issued from, a transaction may be flagged up for potential fraud.

A man was seriously injured when the motorcycle he was riding crashed in Rochester on Monday.
Rochester police said a motorcycle driven by Christopher Philbrick, 23, of Seabrook, left the paved portion of Rochester Hill Road, went into the dirt and went down.
Philbrick was seriously injured and flown to Maine Medical Center, police said. His passenger, Alisha Hills, 19, of Seabrook, was not injured. Police said both were wearing helmets.
Police said no other vehicles were involved in the crash. They said their investigation is continuing, and anyone who saw the accident was asked to call police at 603-330-7128.
