Michigan 6, LSSU 2
It was a pretty uninspiring start, and a fairly lackluster first period. The Wolverines trailed 1-0 late in the first and the LSSU Lakers were on the power play. It would have been natural for Michigan fans to wonder if this was going to be a "let-down" game after a couple of controversy-filled weekends.
But then Matt Rust broke up a pass, took it the length of the ice, cut to the net, and roofed one up over Pat Inglis with just six seconds remaining in the first period. The Wolverines carried that momentum over to the second. David Wohlberg and Luke Glendening scored in the first two minutes of the second period and it was all Wolverines from there.
Michigan outshot the Lakers 17-5 in the period and outscored them 3-0. It was the mid-third before LSSU could get back on the board, but the game was over by that point. Michigan wins 6-2 in a pretty dominating performance, first period aside.
The Lakers got on the board first with a great pass to Will Acton from Matt Cowie. Hogan couldn't get side-to-side fast enough to keep it out of the net. That goal came just seconds after Chad Langlais had rung one off the bar at the other end.
The lone bright spot of the first 19 minutes of the game was that Travis Turnbull and David Wohlberg were jumping. Wohlberg kept feeding him, and Turnbull kept having beautiful scoring chances that he couldn't quite finish. That line could've easily combined for three goals in the first ten minutes of the hockey game.
But despite a lackluster first period (and, at least from the sound on the internet broadcast, a pretty subdued Yost crowd) the Wolverines were able to get out of the first period tied, thanks to Rust's short-handed effort. That was the 7th shortie the Lakers have allowed this season. They're vulnerable back there and Rust made them pay.
Michigan gave the Yost crowd a lot to cheer about throughout the second period. Just over a minute into the second frame, Travis Turnbull fed a wide-open David Wohlberg in front of the net. Wohlberg buried the shot and Michigan led 2-1. And before the crowd could tell Inglis that he's a sieve and it's all his fault, it was 3-1. Ben Winnett won an offensive zone faceoff and Luke Glendening was able to pop it in. My video was buffering at the time, so I don't have much of a comment about that goal. (This would be an ongoing trend. I missed three of our six goals thanks to buffering issues.)
Our top two lines kept buzzing. Hagelin had a pair of chances, then Palushaj just missed. The other line came out and Wohlberg darn near put in another gorgeous feed from Turnbull.
Michigan received a power play (hopefully everyone took a picture) and promptly turned it over in their own end. Hogan made a huge save, and it's a good thing he did, because we came down to the other end and Caporusso scored his nation-best 21st goal of the season. Langlais found him with a cross-ice pass. At that point, shots were something like 13-1 in the second period and Michigan had themselves a 4-1 lead.
Hogan made a couple saves at the end of the period to keep LSSU from gaining any momentum and David Wohlberg had another strong effort on the penalty kill.
The Lakers took an ill-advised penalty just a couple seconds into a power play of their own, and Rusty made them pay again. This time on a 4-on-4. Hagelin fed him. I had buffering issues on this one too. That's five goals for Rust in his last seven contests, after just two in the first 18 games (and those were in the same game). He's on fire right now. This is the Matt Rust we needed to give us a legitimate second line. He's responding and the team is reaping the benefits. Our top two lines have really good chemistry going.
LSSU finally capitalized on one of their numerous power plays. Schofield put a wrister up over Hogan's arm just inside the far post to make it 5-2. That ended a very long PK streak by the Wolverines. We had killed off something like 29 in a row. Even with the goal, the penalty killing was stellar tonight. Hagelin and Rust are so fun to watch when they tag-team opponents on the forecheck. Wohlberg, Miller, Fardig, and of course the defense. Those guys all do a really great job. It's like night and day from the start of the season when we were at the bottom of the national PK rankings.
Hogan made a couple more big stops and then Winnett hit on a breakaway pass to Caporusso, who had just exited the penalty box. Caporusso popped one off the water bottle and the Wolverines pretty much had it in the bag. Caporusso and Rust both had shots at hat tricks, but Inglis made a couple of stops.
All in all, another really solid effort for the good guys. They were off in the first period, but Rust's goal gave them momentum and they kept it going by capitalizing twice early in the second. There was never a moment that I felt like LSSU was threatening to get back in the game after that. Michigan completely dominated the second period.
Other stuff:
-Burlon and Summers were both +3 on the night. How sick is Michigan's defense corps when Mark Mitera comes back? They could put him with Steve Kampfer to have a dominating top two pairings. You know your team is good when Chad Langlais is your #5 defenseman. That's not even fair.
-David Wohlberg is awesome. He was everywhere tonight, had a goal and an assist, and turned in his usual top-notch performance defensively. Rust, Hagelin, Caporusso, and Winnett were all really strong tonight.
-Speaking of Winnett, I've been really hard on him—and Red evidently agreed that he wasn't doing much, since he just benched him for four games—but one thing he does really well is make a breakout pass. He sprung Caporusso on his breakaway goal in the third period, and he also made the initial pass on Brandon Burlon's game-changing goal against FYS at Munn. I didn't see Glendening's goal, but it sounded as if Winnett deserved an assist on that one as well. It's nice to see him getting involved on the offensive end, because he came in with the reputation as a pretty darn good offensive talent.
-Caporusso's 22 goals lead the nation. I posed this question during the chat and no one really had an answer—I didn't either: Who is the Hobey favorite right now? There's no clear-cut choice. Maybe Jordan Pearce? I think you have to have Caporusso in the mix if he keeps this up. He's probably been a little too inconsistent to win the thing, but if he leads the nation in goals, he has to at least be in the Top 10.
-Hogan only faced 21 shots, but he made some top-notch saves tonight. He probably should've had the second goal (though it was a very nice shot), but he made some really big, timely stops.
-Notre Dame knocked off OSU in overtime, which was huge for us (especially since it didn't get to a shootout, so OSU didn't get a cheap point). Brian Aaron basically cost us any chance of catching ND, so it's nice that the Irish won tonight. We go 2 points up on OSU and have moved into a third-place tie with Alaska, who has played 3 more games than us.
Tomorrow night's game is at 7:35 Eastern and can be seen on Comcast 900 in Metro Detroit and the NHL Network in Canada. The game will air on the US NHL Network on Sunday at noon.

Hello: Delaware State
There's a Delaware State?
DSU is a historically black college located in Dover (the capital of The Small Wonder). The school has just over 3,000 students, making it slightly larger than Ann Arbor Pioneer. It was founded as an agricultural school for blacks by the Morrill Act when the doctrine of Separate but Equal kept them out of schools for white students.
Who are the Delaware State Hornets?
DSU's athletic teams are the Hornets, and their colors are Cherry Red and Columbia Blue. They compete in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) of Division 1-AA. Their football stadium, creatively named "Alumni Stadium" holds 7,193 spectators, by far the smallest of any team Michigan has played in the modern era.
Delaware State is not the 1-AA superpower that Appalachian State was in 2007. The Hornets are an average-ish team in the MEAC, and though they went undefeated in conference in 2007 (their only losses on the year were to 1-A foe Kent State and in the playoffs to 1-AA National runner-up Delaware (the first ever meeting between the two schools, something of a controversial topic)). This past year, however, the team went 5-6, missing out on the 1-AA playoffs.
What Should We Expect?
Head coach Al Lavan has brought a new era of respectability to the Hornets' football program, as the 2007 playoff appearance was the school's first ever. He is 35-22 in his four years in Dover, with the only losing season coming last year.
The Hornets finished 94th out of 118 1-AA teams in total offense, but their defense was stellar, finishing 13th in the country. That wasn't just a product of playing awful offenses from the MEAC, either, as many of them finished middle-of-the-pack or better in 1-AA for total offense.
As you'll see in a moment, last year wasn't exactly a rebuilding one for Del State: They will come into this year minus a ton of talent from last year's senior class.
The Hornets' pass offense loses 4-year starter Vashon Winton, and will be breaking in a new signal-caller. In addition, they lose 2 of their top 3 receivers.
Speaking of those receivers, one of them was departing tailback Chris Strother, who leaves, along with the next two top rushers, one of whom was Winton. Though I can't find any definitive info, the rushing yardage for a QB would certainly imply that Delaware State employs some type of spread offense.
Leading tackler Kevin Conner has graduated (along with fellow linebacker Jackie Watkins), and defensive back Avery Grant is the returning leader in that department. He is also the team's returning leader in tackles for a loss (that's right, as a DB), with a whopping 8.5. The defensive line loses a pair of stalwarts as well, with Ronn Spinner Jr. And Akiel Russell mobing on. The remaining starter at linebacker, Joe Mendes, led the team in sacks last year.
The distribution of statistic would lead me to believe that the hornets imply some form of spread defense, likely a 3-3-5 with Grant, the team's star, at Rover/Bandit.
This has been a first glance at the Delaware State Hornets, and I'm sure both Brian and I will give them a more thorough treatment over the off-season and leading up to the game.

12th Game Announced
Michigan has announced its 12th opponent for the 2009 season. The Detroit News is reporting that Delaware St. will fill the remaining open spot on the schedule.
Luckily, it's not Delaware. Way too confusing with helmets. Delaware St. is a FCS school known mainly for the controversy of Delaware not scheduling them for a regular season game.
While a part of me wants to express outrage over scheduling a middling FCS team, a less indignant part of me would prefer a win by any means necessary. Western Michigan could be a tough game to open the season, and Notre Dame, in spite of horrible coaching, has solid talent. If Rodriguez can't up his win total a significant amount there will certainly be a bunch of business at Ann Arbor Torch & Pitchfork. I'm coming down on the side of this being a necessary evil and another easy $4 million for the Athletic department.
What do you guys think? Is Michigan at a point where it should try to be above the fray or should the schedule reflect the fact that this is still a rebuilding process?
There will be an informative update in a bit. There's actually a blog that covers Delaware St.'s conference. Awesome.
Press Conference Player Info Part 1
At the top of his press conference Rich Rodriguez basically went through the list and talked briefly about each commit. A lot of it was coach-speak and praising the high school coaches, but there was quite a bit of useful information (as opposed to Lloyd Carr press conferences, which were awesome in their own way) on most of the players. One interesting thing in general is that Rodriguez let us know who the lead recruiter was for each player, and for just about everyone from Florida it was Rod Smith. I guess that's why need a de facto third QB coach. On to the players:
Isaiah Bell
Coach mentioned that the staff is really tight with Youngstown Liberty coach Jeff Whittaker. It's not that stacked of a school, but seems to produce a bit of talent on a regular basis. He said that Bell would start competing as a safety, but if he can put on enough weight, may move up to outside linebacker.
William Campbell
Looking at depth chart would probably tell you this too, but Rodriguez said that Campbell will play defense only and will compete for playing time right at the outset. Campbell got the instant impact tag from the coach. Will said himself that his goal is to start his freshman year. Even though he is a really funny, kind of goofy guy, I get the feeling that he's super competative; I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a RB/QB playing against Michigan in two years. Campbell is now doing the full Barwis workout and says the toughest part was the running because since the all star game he's been relaxing and "got fat."
Vlad Emilien
Coach said he could play either Safety position and will probably be moved around to positions of need.
Tate Forcier
Apparently in the Spring, Jason Forcier was in town and talked with Rodriguez. He basically said he'd recruit Tate for Michigan. I just can't help but wonder how different this last year would have been if Forcier hadn't transferred... Oh well. Obviously will come and compete right away for time at QB. When a reporter asked Rodriguez if he was confident that he'll end up with a really good quarterback he responded that "we'll have a really good competition." Tate says he works much more on accuracy and a quick release than arm strength. In some passing drills he claims he hit Mike Cox and Kevin Koger in the back of the head because they weren't expecting the ball to get there as quickly as it did. After his interview with the TV crews at the press conference, most reporters were surprised at how well he handled himself. He really seemed like a pro.
Jeremy Gallon
For some reason, I got the feeling that Rodriguez is especially excited about Gallon, but I'm probably just projecting my own excitement. Coach said he'll compete immediately at slot. Tim has made this argument that Odoms is a pretty good slot receiver, but the concept of the slot receiver may be more appealing than Odoms himself. Rodriguez also mentioned that he'll immediately be in the mix for returning kicks. Obviously, Coach didn't talk about grade issues in specifics, but he mentioned that there are about 2-3 recruits who haven't been approved by the Clearinghouse and that all of those recruits of realistic plans to follow that will allow them to qualify. Rodriguez didn't really seem to worried about grade issues.
Check out Varsity Blue throughout the day for the tidbits on the rest of recruits.
Welcome to MGoVacation
As you've all been made aware, MGoFounder Brian is on vacation for the next week or so, and has drafted a motley crew of guest posters from Wolverine Liberation Army (whose first offering you've already seen), UMHoops, The Blog that Yost Built, and many other fine establishments across the Michigan blogosphere to fill in the gaps while he's gone. Hopefully, you can find some content that you like, and discover some other blogs you'd like to read regularly.
Just because Brian isn't in that saddle doesn't mean that there won't be plenty to talk about. Yesterday's Signing Day for the football class of 2009 simply means it's time to start thinking about the 2010 class, hoops and hockey are both in full swing, and it's never the wrong time for a communism joke or two.
Stick around, and I hope you can enjoy MGoBlog as much as you would if Brian were still here.

On May 9, HUD announced that 27 affordable housing providers and service providers would be installing more than 150 megawatts of on-site renewable energy, more than doubling the amount of renewable energy on HUD-assisted multifamily buildings. This commitment responds to President Obama's call to action to increase the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency across the country.
In a speech delivered on May 9 in Mountain View, California, the President recognized the important contribution of affordable housing providers and other companies indicating that "more than 300 organizations -- from homebuilders, to affordable housing owners, to companies like Home Depot and Apple -- announced that they are going to expand the use of solar energy, thereby creating more jobs and cutting carbon pollution."
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, who accompanied the President in California, indicated that "thanks to the leadership of our multifamily partners and developers, we are on track to meet and surpass President Obama's challenge to reach 100 megawatts of on-site renewable energy on affordable housing by 2020."
The President's announcement follows the release of the 2014 Climate Assessment report, produced by more than 300 experts, which summarizes the effects of climate change on the United States, now and in the future. The efforts undertaken by HUD's partners to integrate renewable energy into affordable housing developments not only represent good economic sense, but they also help ensure that American communities and households are more climate and economically resilient. Read the President's speech in Mountain View and a White House Fact Sheet to learn more about these actions, and view video of the President's speech. The full list of HUD partners who have agreed to install and use solar energy, is available here.

Have to love a Travelodge. You can stay pretty much anywhere and know what you will be getting before you walk in the door. We had a family room this visit. One king sized bed, two roll-aways. Freshly laundered sheets, a heater, kettle, some mugs and instant coffee, tea bags and individual sachets of milk. One pillow / one towel per person.. No frills, but a good price.

Historical Traveler Reviews Travelodge Manchester Central
Very good
We stayed here between Christmas and New Year as travelodge were offering rooms for �10 per night.
Overall we enjoyed the experience and are thinking of planning another trip back to Manchester.
The hotel is perfectly situated, 10 minutes walk from the main shopping centre in Manchester (you have to go on the big wheel!) and lots of good resaurants only 5 minutes walk away. However it's far enough from the main streets for there to be no noise.
The room we had was basic and you could tell it was an older travelodge however unlike some in the travelodge chain it was spotlessly clean. The shower has to be the best shower I've experienced, anywhere! Make a change from the usual travelodge 2 drips a minute..
The car park is underneath the hotel and has quite a few spaces but given the size of the hotel it fills up very quickly. It's also impossibly tight, it required a 3-point turn to just get around a corner, never mind get into a space, and my car is tiny. Thankfully parking is free. There is also an NCP about 2 minutes walk away.
My only gripe is that they didn't deliver breakfast bags after 7.30am which meant answering the door then going back to sleep!
Overall an excellent trip and I will definitely be back.
Great Value
What more could you ask for? Bang in the middle of the city, cheap room (�45 family) with lots of space, and very helpful staff... even following us to the room to show us how to use the tv ! ...
Great place to stay if you fancy a night in Manchester - it is basic, but after a night out, all you really need is a clean place to sleep it off... this fits the bill perfectly.
Check in early..or your room is gone!
We had booked a room some five weeks before our stay on the Travelodge web site. The room was reserved using a credit card. However, when we arrived at 8pm the reception was busy and we were running late for a party. We decided that we would check in later as we had already paid for the room. On checking in we were told that there were no rooms left. I pointed out that we had already paid and the receptionist said they had oversold 15 rooms for that night.(other guests were arriving anfd were told the same thing). After 90 mins we got into our room..which had suddenly become available.. the other guests who were knocked back were offered refunds or taxis to other hotels. I felt sorry for the reception staff who were put into an impossible position by their company overbooking the hotel and they should be congratulated for their diplomatic skills.
The room was ok as this is a budget hotel..but bring your own toiletries.
I just hope that the overbooking policy is not standard throughout the Travelodge chain...I will take extreme care before I risk booking another room.
Manchester Central Travelodge Much Improved
I stayed in the Manchester Central Travelodge last night, with my husband & 2 teenage sons. It is definately much improved, since the last time I stayed there 12 months ago. It has been refurbished & the reception/bar area is now bright, clean & spacious. There were 3 receptionists, who were fast & pleasant in dealing with a long queue of guests checking in. - Rather than one, understandable, harrassed young girl, last year. The room was large and spacious. Last year, the room I stayed in was badly in need of an upgrade, especially in the bathroom, where the grouting was very grimey - but very clean this time. Please be aware that Manchester is an extremely vibrant, dinamic city & the downside of this is that there is no respite from the noise of traffic from any of the city centre hotels. Weigh this up, however, from the fact that this hotel is minutes away from the best shopping in Europe, the coolest bars, including the "Living Room" & a great Italian Restaurant next door but one, & this hotel is an excellent choice. This was enhanced only by the fact that I only paid �26 for a family room.
"Rude Staff"
My experience with the travel lodge was not pleasant.
Its pretty basic but i guess thats why it's so cheap.
The staff there are horrible! Especially one woman who gave us the 3rd degree when we asked for more pillows, accusing us of having other people in our room, more than allocated.
Horrible. Don't go there.
I didn't expect much, but it still let me down!
I stayed for one night at the Travelodge, Blackfriars Street, Deansgate. The first issue was that I went to book it at 14.55 and was told that I had to wait until 15.00. Myself and about 30 other guests were crammed into the very hot reception, standing, waiting until it hit 15.00 exactly and booked us in. This 'jobsworth' attitude did not start the day well.
The excuse was that they'd not had the keys back from the housekeeper, however they use swipe cards and set them for the room at booking in time.
We made our way up to the 6th floor (one of the two lifts were out of order) to find that we couldn't get into our room as the key wasn't working. We trecked back down again, had an apology and given the same keys, but re-swiped while the chap said they were new (not true). They didn't work again when we went back up.
Finally someone agreed to come up with us, but their attitude was very patronising "You Put the card in the door like this" (puts in card) "And take it out like this and ooh look!......ah....it's not working"
I did point out to him that believe it or not, I have used swipe keys before. Finally they sorted out a new room, but by now it was over 3/4 hours after we'd first arrived. We went out in the afternoon and came back to find the keys not working again and then we had them changed twice more as well. Not very good.
In total it took one room change and 6 sets of keys before we actually could get in and out of our own hotel room and plenty of time wasted.
The rooms are more basic than I expected with stains on the Sofa-Bed (nice) threadbare greyish towels and you even have to pay �6 up front if you want to watch even Terrestrial TV!!!!
My advice? Don't bother. The staff are rude and the amenities are non-existent. I didn't expect much as it was a budget hotel, but even so I didn't expect it to be that bad!
Get what you pay for!
I was not happy with this hotel at all. First they did not supply any soap, face cloths or tissues in the rooms. Second, the hallways in the morning were littered after the evening I guess. The lift was also dirty. The worst was the phone system. You could only use a credit card to make a call and at first it would not accept mine. The font desk told me that they have problems with America credit cards! I later got accepted only to find that my pre- paid phone card was not a free call. You could only buy full meals at the hotel, no just a coffee or a snack and everything was pay ahead. I can now see why. I only see 3 reviews on this board and they are good reviews I wonder if mine will be posted? As speaking to people at the Hotel there were a lot of unsatisfied customers.

Not bad for price
I stayed at this Manchester central Travelodge on two occasions in June 2005. The first I stayed for one night and had a 25 pounds room deal I found online. Two friends also had the same deal, stayed in seperate rooms, and the interesting thing was, we each had a noticebale fault in our rooms. For me, the bathroom would not close, for my friend the shaver was broken and the radiator failed to work in my other friends room. So, I think that any rooms they give out for this price will have some kind of fault. That is fine though if you are willing to have the cheaper price in return. We had breakfast the next morning and it was terrible -nothing like as shown in the breakfast brochure (for example, it showed fried eggs, yet only scrambled eggs were on offer, and it was all badly cooked).
My next visit a week later we paid full price for a room and it was much better. The only downside for me is that I wish these hotels would provide a hairdryer. That night, we ate in the restaurant and it was even more awful than the breakfast. There was one guy working both the bar and serving food -and everyone's orders were mixed up. At one point the chef came out to each table to check the orders. One man had ordered a burger, yet something else comepetely different was delivered to him after waiting 45 mins. I would never eat at this place again! We also had wrong food brought to our table that was badly cooked. Otherwise I will always stay at this hotel for Manchester when I visit as it's affordable for me, and has a great location. I would be dubious about using the restaurant though!
Basic but cheap
OK, so for ten pounds a night, you don't expect much (a truly amazing internet special offer price - even the receptionist was surprised). The location's good, if you want to be in the centre of Manchester. The hotel itself is utterly charmless; our room was large and basic, albeit not quite as clean as it might have been (stained cover on the sofa).
User pays
Gotta love Britain. This place is reasobale value until the negative sides kick in. You can't check in until 3pm - no negotiation and then they charge �2 to leave a suitcase there until the room is 'ready'. And this is at 1pm. Plus the charge 25p per minute for INCOMING calls. Genius. The world's most complicated system to make outgoing calls as well. The rooms are characterless but very clean and the location is central but a good 15 minute walk from either Victoria Station or Picadilly.

The Rose of Blacksword: A Loveswept Classic Romanceby Rexanne Becnel

Lady Rosalynde of Stanwood has the power to entice men to deeds of reckless daring. And none is so rash and/b>/b>/i>
From bestselling author Rexanne Becnel, this classic romance is the beguiling tale of two souls cast together by fate. Like all her historical novels, The Rose of Blacksword speaks to a love that resonates throughout the ages.
Lady Rosalynde of Stanwood has the power to entice men to deeds of reckless daring. And none is so rash and bold as the condemned outlaw known as Blacksword. In return for safe escort to her ancestral castle, Rosalynde is forced to marry the rogue, never dreaming that holy wedlock will fan the flames of unholy desire.
Wielder of the coveted Blacksword, with the fate of his noble name resting on his massive shoulders, Sir Aric of Wycliffe lives to bring death to his treacherous nemesis—until his heart is bested by the enchanting maiden who saved him from the hangman's noose. Bound together by ancient custom, the brazen knight demands nothing less than Rose's total surrender. But even as revenge and honor war within him, he is undone by the most seductive conqueror of all: wild, irresistible love.
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Tender, Loving Cure, Spellbound, and This Fierce Splendor.

The fluorescence excitation spectra of the transition of biacetyl: Determination of the band origin111(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.480013View Description Hide Description
Laser-induced fluorescencespectra of the transition of biacetyl are observed under supersonic jet condition. Three weaker bands have been observed at 154, 67, and 58 cm−1 to the red of the previously presumed band origin (at 22 336 cm−1). The observed tunneling splitting 1.05 cm−1 for the band and 1.68 cm−1 for the band are compared to the theoretical result. Based on the tunneling splitting, the true band origin is determined for the first time as the furthest weaker band at 22 182 cm−1. The three weaker bands have been assigned as and transitions, respectively.

I am pleased to say that Lawyer Albert Flores is extremely knowledgeable, kept us informed and at ease with the case. His professionalism stood out at all times throughout this difficult time. He was also very honest and told us exactly what to expect. Glad we chose him over other lawyers I was recommended to. Will definitely recommend him to family and friends when needed.
Posted by Brenda
My husband and are very pleased to say that our attorney ALBERT FLORES impressed us with utmost professionalism, knowledge, and commitment, always showed professionalism and compassion with our delicate situation, always kept us informed and up-to-date in every detail from beginning to end, I never met a lawyer who works so hard, cares so much, and on call 24/7. Mr. Flores you have been a great attorney, I can not thank you enough for handling my husbands case with so much care and concern and for making us feel that this was as important to you as it was to my husband, my children and I.
Anonymous review posted on
Helped my daughter settle her case with minimal time wasted, was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Understood her situation and the impact it would have in her future and career.
Thank you Albert.
Posted by Michael
Albert was referred to me from a friend. I was looking for advice on how to seal/expunge a drug felony from 2000. Albert and his team were quick to respond to my questions and provide excellent customer service. When I spoke with Albert he enlightened me to many facts about my conviction that previous lawyers had not. This gave me a greater understanding on how to deal with my drug conviction. I truly appreciated the straight-forward approach he took and the diligence he showed while working together. I would highly recommend Albert Flores to anyone seeking legal advice!

What is pharyngitis?
Pharyngitis is swelling of the inside of your throat, called the pharynx.
What causes pharyngitis?
Pharyngitis is often caused by a cold or flu virus. It may also be caused by bacteria such as strep. Other causes include smoking, allergies, or acid reflux. Pharyngitis can also be caused by a sexually transmitted disease (STD), such as herpes or gonorrhea. This may occur from oral sex with an infected person.
What signs and symptoms may occur with pharyngitis?
- Sore throat or pain when you swallow
- Fever, chills, and body aches
- Hoarse or raspy voice
- Cough, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes
- Headache
- Upset stomach and loss of appetite
- Mild neck stiffness
- Swollen glands that feel like hard lumps when you touch your neck
- White and yellow pus-filled blisters in the back of your throat
How is pharyngitis diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask about your sore throat and examine you. He may look inside your throat and feel your neck. You may also need the following tests:
- A throat culture may show which germ is causing your sore throat. A cotton swab is rubbed against the back of your throat.
- Blood tests may be used to show if another medical condition is causing your sore throat.
How is pharyngitis treated?
Viral pharyngitis will go away on its own without treatment. You will need antibiotics if your sore throat is caused by bacteria. Your sore throat should start to feel better within 3 to 5 days for both viral and bacterial infections. Your healthcare provider may recommend the following to decrease pain:
- NSAIDs , such as ibuprofen, help decrease swelling, pain, and fever. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask your healthcare provider if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow directions.
- Acetaminophen decreases pain and fever. It is available without a doctor's order. Ask how much to take and how often to take it. Follow directions. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage if not taken correctly.
How can I manage my pharyngitis?
- Gargle salt water. Mix ¼ teaspoon salt in a glass of warm water and gargle. This may help reduce swelling in your throat.
- Drink more liquids. Cold or warm drinks may help soothe your sore throat. Drinking liquids can also help prevent dehydration.
- Humidify your room. Use a cool-steam humidifier to help moisten the air in your room and calm your cough.
- Soothe your throat. Cough drops, ice, soft foods, or popsicles may help soothe your throat.
- Rest your throat as much as possible. Try not to use your voice. This may irritate your throat and worsen your symptoms.
- Prevent the spread of germs. Pharyngitis spreads easily from one person to another. Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Do not share food or drinks. This will help prevent the spread of germs.
When should I seek immediate care?
- You have trouble breathing or swallowing because your throat is swollen or sore.
- You are drooling because it hurts too much to swallow.
- You have a painful lump in your throat that does not go away after 5 days.
- Your fever is higher than 102˚F (39˚C) or lasts longer than 3 days. This may be a sign of a more serious infection.
- You have confusion.
- You have blood in your throat or ear.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- Your throat pain gets worse.
- Your symptoms do not improve after 5 days.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.

Metro City's very own superhero Captain Amazing is getting too old for his job, so he's going to need some backup. Sidekicks is the journey of some die-hard hero wannabes who wish to join the captain for one very simple reason: They are his pets, and he hasn't been paying them any attention lately.
To explain my reasoning for choosing to read What Should I Do with My Life? by Po Bronson, I must first explain a little about myself. I'm a senior in college and in the process of applying for graduate school. One day, while frantically exploring graduate programs at various schools across the U.S. and abroad, I started to worry: Will I choose the right program? What if I wasted my college years studying the wrong subjects? What am I suppose to do with my life? Well, during my craze I jokingly typed in Google, "What Should I Do with My Life?" Po Bronson's book was the first thing to pop up in my browser. I immediately searched the library's catalog to find out whether I could borrow the book, and I drove up to Porter branch that night to check it out. I never set out to review it since it was simply a pleasure read, but I feel as though others may benefit from some of the events portrayed in this book as well.
Author Reginald Hill died January 12th, 2012, at the age of 75. Best known for his "Dalziel & Pascoe" series, he also wrote a number of stand alone novels. The Woodcutter is a fairy tale of a thriller set in the almost mythic Cumbrian countryside.
Hadda Wolf has been living Happily Ever After. The son of a Cumbrian woodcutter, he fulfills three tasks--getting an education, some social polish, and amassing great fortune--to win the hand of an almost-princess, the daughter of the lord of the castle. Hadda and Imogen marry, have a daughter, and he truly feels he is living beyond his wildest dreams.
Most love stories don't end with a snowball to the face. Then again, this is no love story.
Empire State, by Jason Shiga, actually starts in the Golden State: Oakland, California. Jimmy works in a library and runs his own Web site. He finds inner peace through repairing books and geeking out over sci-fi movies. As he leaves work one day, we meet his friend Sara, who greets him...with an unprovoked punch in the arm.
Sara's sarcastic and unsatisfied world view is a million miles from Jimmy's acceptance of his uncomplicated life. Still, they both find some comfort and security in each other's presence. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Sara has a yearning to leave Oakland and enter New York City's publishing industry. When she receives an internship, the call is too powerful to resist.
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk is a classic parable of Generation X alienation: "THE FIRST RULE about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots of bars across the country, young men with whitecollar jobs and failed lives take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded just as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius, and it's only the beginning of his plans for violent revenge on an empty consumer-culture world." (Book summary)
If you enjoyed this novel's themes of social alienation, search for meaning through dark subcultures, and atmosphere of paranoia, here are some other titles you may enjoy:
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
In a black satire of the eighties, a decade of naked greed and unparalleled callousness, a successful Wall Street yuppie cannot get enough of anything, including murder. (worldcat.org)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Six hundred years into the future, humans are bred by cloning, and "mother" and "father" are forbidden words. Originally published in 1932, Huxley's terrifying vision of a controlled and emotionless future "Utopian" society is truly startling in its prediction of modern scientific and cultural phenomena, including test-tube babies and rampant drug abuse. (worldcat.org)
"I think there is a destiny laid on me that I am not to know anything interesting, go anywhere interesting, or do anything interesting."
In The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander, Taran feels that nothing exciting happens in his life and that nothing ever will. And yet, Taran longs to be a hero, like his idol Prince Gwydion, the famed warrior who fights in the name of the High King of Prydain. Taran lives on a farm called Caer Dallben, named after the ancient enchanter who dwells there. Dallben, between reading from his mysterious tome, The Book of Three, and giving Taran wise but confusing advice, spends most of his time meditating--an endeavor that he often undertakes lying down with his eyes closed while snoring. The only other person on the farm is Coll, who instructs Taran in making horseshoes, despite there not being any horses.

The Other Sport Where Local Teams Tear Up the Field
TREASURE ISLAND—While the Giants and 49ers soak up the spotlight, two other San Francisco teams have quietly been dominating their league—in the ancient sport of hurling.
When hurling, which dates back a few millennia in Irish history, opens another season in San Francisco in June, a local team could bring home the amateur North American County Board championship for the third year in a row.
Hurling is a fast-moving game that mixes elements of field hockey and lacrosse and is played with 30- to 40-inch sticks called "hurleys." Points are scored by firing a ball at a net.
Players on each team of 13—15 when the game is played in Ireland—are allowed to use their hands to grab the ball, called a "sliotar," and run a number of steps before tapping or thwacking it with their hurleys. While the players vie for possession of the ball, which is about the size and hardness of a baseball, they take swings at it with the hurleys, occasionally smashing one another's fingers in the process.
Last year, San Francisco's Na Fianna team won the crown in the senior division, which is for top players. In 2010, the city's Naomh Padraig team grabbed the title. The teams upset more than a decade of triumphs by outfits from Chicago and Boston, which are traditional hurling powers thanks to large Irish populations. (New York, which has its own hurling competition, isn't included in the North American County Board championships.)
San Francisco also has a junior team, the Rovers, for less-skilled players.
Continuing the local winning streak this year may be dicey, as only Na Fianna will be competing at the senior level.
"We're not looking too good," says Michael Clancy, who plays for Naomh Padraig. "We lost a lot of players over the winter—a couple went back to Ireland, a couple got deported and a couple due to injuries." As a result, Mr. Clancy says, Naomh Padraig will only compete at the junior level this year.
Na Fianna, on the other hand, has strong prospects, says member Tom Carroll. With much of the team's core still made up of the same players, "if anything, we would've probably strengthened," he says. Na Fianna may also get a lift this summer from Irish players coming over on J-1 visas that allow a stay of a few months, a common practice among U.S. hurling teams.
Treasure Island began hosting local hurling teams in 2008 when the Gaelic Athletic Association opened a sports center on a flat expanse beneath the Bay Bridge. Prior to that, the teams made do with what green space they could find.
Hurling has been played in the Bay Area since the mid-19th century, with teams drawing from a population of Irish expatriates. Naomh Padraig has players from Limerick and Galway counties, for example, while Na Fianna's team primarily hails from Cork and Waterford.
The local teams may have been particularly strong in recent years because the housing and construction markets that employ many players haven't been hit as hard in the Bay Area as they have in places like Chicago. "The construction economy and the housing market definitely have a bearing on how the clubs do," says Colm Egan, a Chicago-based official with the North American County Board, which oversees Gaelic games in the U.S.
Hurlers including Mr. Carroll of Na Fianna say the recent success of San Francisco teams is also due to the establishment of good facilities on Treasure Island and the compactness of San Francisco, which makes it easier for players to gather for practice and matches.
"The standard has definitely improved," says Mr. Carroll. "The teams we've had the last couple of years would've been definitely as good as some of the senior clubs back in Ireland."
Liam Reidy, a former Naomh Padraig player now completing a Ph.D. in geography at the University of California, Berkeley, says that when the Irish economy is strong, "Gaelic games do less well overseas." Lately, Ireland's economy has been in the dumps, along with much of the rest of Europe.
College hurling programs have also sprouted up locally, at UC Berkeley and at Stanford University, both in 2008. This comes amid a broader increase in the popularity of the sport. The North American County Board had 25 registered adult hurling clubs as of 2010, more than double the number in 2000. Each club can foster multiple teams. Mr. Egan, the NACB official, says there have been about five new clubs registered since 2010.
Mr. Egan says it is tough to pick a favorite for the senior championship this year, which will be held in Philadelphia on Labor Day weekend. "I think the Boston teams are going to be quite strong," he says.
The pressure is on Na Fianna to repeat as champ—something Mr. Carroll thinks is possible. "We'd like to think so," he says.
Mr. Clancy, of Naomh Padraig, says his team has no hard feelings about ceding ground to Na Fianna this season. "It is a good rivalry on the field," he says. Off the field, though, "it is all forgotten. The Irish population in San Francisco isn't big enough for us to be fighting all the time."

The Stepford Wives
- Directed by Bryan Forbes
===Story=== Ira Levin's scary novel about forced conformity in a small Connecticut town made for this compelling 1975 thriller. Katharine Ross stars as a city woman who moves with her husband to Stepford and is startled by how perpetually happy many of the local women seem to be. Her search for an answer reveals a plot to replace troublesome real wives with more accommodating fake ones (not unlike the alien takeover in ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''). The closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she faces--not to mention the likelihood that the men in town intend to replace her as well. Screenwriter William Goldman (''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'') and director Bryan Forbes (''King Rat'') made this a taut, tense semiclassic with a healthy dose of satiric wit.

Woods starts new season at Torrey
SAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods is back at Torrey Pines to start what he considers to be a big year for him.
Not because he hasn't won a major in five years. And not because three of the majors are on courses where he has won. But he conceded that he doesn't have 20 years of prime golf ahead of him -- he turned 38 three weeks ago.
Woods won five times last year, and he's the defending champion at the Farmers Insurance Open. Woods will be going after his ninth win as a pro at Torrey Pines.

Daily deal operators need to do a better job tailoring their offers.
Earlier today I was chatting with Nathan Richardson, Gilt City president, when he mentioned that Gilt plans to use its own personalization technology to tailoroffers to customers based on their previous purchases.
"If I know that Caitlyn is more inclined to buy a $40 meal than me who is inclined to buy a $120 meal that comes with wine flights, it probably makes sense to surface deals around $40 to Caitlyn and more expensive offers to me," he said. "We think we can harness our technology to make it smarter."
That type of personalization is not new. I actually suggested daily deal operators should be deploying it more than a year ago. Shortly thereafter, a handful of sites, like Groupon, began tailoring deals to consumers based on their preferences in July 2010.
But still too many daily deal operators fail to understand what offers their customers might be interested in. LivingSocial, for example, today sent me an offer for two skin-tightening or anti-aging treatments. I'm a 29-year-old man, hardly the demographic I imagine uses those services. Similarly, Groupon recently sent me a Groupon Getaways deal for a hotel in Chicago, which would hardly provide a getaway since it's only a few miles from my apartment.
The more offers I receive that seem to be oriented to someone other than myself, the less likely I am to open the e-mail. That means that I won't see the site's other offers. Given that LivingSocial, for instance, has 14 other offers today that I might be interested in, that could prove rather costly.

|New analytical methodologies for doping control – detection of anabolic androgenic steroids in human urine
|Galésio, Marco André Miranda
|Martinez, José
Otero, Raquel
Símal, Jesus
|Defense Date:
|Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia
|The use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and other banned substances to enhance athletic performance has important health and social implications. The AAS are a major group included in the prohibited list of the world anti-doping agency (WADA) as well as of major sports authorities. This class of drugs, along with other anabolic agents, represent 64,9 % of all adverse analytical findings reported by WADA accredited laboratories, as stated in the WADA statistic report for 2009. The AAS are a class of hormones that include the natural male sex hormone, testosterone, and its many synthetic derivatives. They exert multiple actions affecting both the physiology of the human body and the individual behaviour. Under intensive training, the AAS induce the synthesis of proteins in muscle and bone causing an accelerated growth of these organs. Furthermore, during acute endurance workout, as well as during competition, androgen's action seems to be critical to enhance the performance capacity, since they affect the production of red blood cells and increase neural conduction. In addition, after intense exercises, androgens are thought to prevent muscle catabolism and exhaustion and to speed up the recovery process. In general, the normal proceeding for AAS determination includes chromatographic separation coupled to mass spectrometry detectors. The use of GC-MS methodologies is the most employed strategy for AAS control. However, over the last years, with the development of suitable LC-MS and LC-MS/MS systems, some AAS presenting poor chromatographic properties for GC-MS analysis, even after derivatisation, are being analysed by LC-MS(/MS) procedures. The aim of the research programme presented in this thesis was, primarily, the development of a new screening method based on mass spectrometry (MS) using the soft ionisation technique matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI). The major goals to be achieved were the development of an accurate, sensitive and robust methodology able to improve the screening of AAS for doping control in both analysis time and sample throughput. Additionally, the developed method should be capable to overcome the GC-MS limitation related to thermo-labile and polar AAS, so that the initial screening method could be extended to all AAS included in the prohibited list. In parallel with the development of a screening procedure based on MALDI-MS(/MS) techniques, and applying the deep expertise of the research group on reaction enhancement by delivery energy based techniques, the improvement of the global sample preparation for the analysis of AAS by anti-doping control laboratories was also included in the research programme.
