Finally, some good news from the Devils' training room.
One game after goalie Martin Brodeur and center Andrei Loktionov returned to the lineup -- Brodeur reported no discomfort today -- left winger Alexei Ponikarovsky (lower body) and defenseman Henrik Tallinder (ankle) practiced, albeit on a limited basis today.
Also, right winger Dainius Zubrus (left wrist surgery) is skating and holding a stick, said general manager Lou Lamoriello.
Furthermore, Lamoriello said Jacob Josefson (upper body) and Teddy Tedenby (skate cut to the face) both skated today in Albany. Josefson is recovering after taking a puck to the head in a March 10th game. Tedenby was injured in a Feb. 15th game.
Ponikarovsky, who did not play the third period of Tuesday night's loss to the Rangers and sat out Thursday nights victory over the Hurricanes, skated briefly this afternoon.
"I just want to get in a quick spin out there and see how I felt, see where I'm at," said Ponikarovsky, who coach Pete DeBoer said won't play against Florida on Saturday. "I'm just taking it day-by-day and we'll see how it goes."
Ponikarovsky said he's not sure how he injured himself. He said he just felt uncomfortable and decided to take himself out of the game.
Tallinder, who sprained his ankle in warm-ups before the Buffalo game on March 7th, skated hard today. He needs to get in game shape and DeBoer said it's "doubtful" he'll play against Florida.
"This was easy compared to what I've been doing," he said, adding that his rehab has been grueling. "It's good to be back with the boys."
Brodeur, who returned to action on Thursday night after sitting out a month with a pinched nerve in his upper back and neck, said he felt fine.
"I feel good," said Brodeur, who is 9-2-3 this season. "I felt good after the game, too. Overnight we wanted to see how it went and everything went well."
Meanwhile, the future Hall of Fame goalie was still basking in the afterglow of his third career goal, which he scored in the first period of the Devils' 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes.
"It brought a lot of attention to my phone," he said with a smile. "I got a lot of texts and a lot of e-mails. It's funny. You can make 50 saves and have a shutout and nobody calls. You poke a puck in the corner and somebody shoots it in and it brings a big interest. But we'll take it."
Asked if the Panthers need to be concerned with him as a goal-scorer, Brodeur joked, "They can sleep tonight, don't worry."
Note: Although the Panthers (9-16), they're coming off back-to-back wins against Carolina and the Rangers. ... The Devils held a team meeting today before going through a short unscheduled practice at the AmeriHealth Pavilion.

By GEORGE GRAHAM
SPRINGFIELD - Two Springfield police officers were injured this morning in the Forest Park neighborhood after a fleeing suspect's vehicle forced their cruiser into a tree.
Both officers were treated at Baystate Medical Center and released. One suffered contusions and the other, several broken bones, Springfield police Sgt. Brian P. Manley said.
The incident began about 1:30 a.m. when the two officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Bloomfield Street, Manley said.
When the fleeing driver took a hard left onto Ranney Street his vehicle 'fish-tailed,' spun around 180 degrees and accelerated towards the approaching cruiser, Manley said.
The officer behind the wheel, to avoid a head-on crash, turned the cruiser abruptly to the right and into a tree near 55 Ranney St. Manley said.
The suspect fled the scene in the vehicle which was recovered nearby a short time later. The driver remains at large, Manley said.
"There is an ongoing investigation as to who was driving at the time," Manley said.
The cruiser suffered heavy damage and its airbags deployed, Manley said. Manley declined to release the officers' names.
Manley said he did not know whether the officers had been wearing seat belts. Manley said, however, the law does not require police officers to wear them.
Some officers choose not to wear seat belts because they can hinder a quick exit from their cruiser when they are chasing a suspect or responding to an emergency, Manley said.

The Beginner's Guide To Fire Island Pines
Where to Stay
Photo: Wikimedia Commons
When I grow up, I want to be a professional beach-homeowner. After staying in one, I'm sold. I mean, tastefully decorating a home I don't really live in very often and renting it out to a bunch of queens for the summer? Yes please.
Until then, there's always the less glamorous role of a beach-homerenter. Or sharer. If you have a group of friends, you can split the cost and live like the one percent. Or at least the 3.5 percent of the 1 percent. Sharing is caring, kids and there are three different kinds of shares you can choose from:
Full share – you and your group of friends have "shared" in renting a house for the summer
Half share – you've rented it every other weekend
Quarter share – you get about 4 – 5 weekends, or one per month. (I was told Jon Wilner of Pines Harbor Realty has been the go-to share guru for the Pines for over 20 years.)
If you're scared of commitment, there's The Botel, where the average room will run you $99 on weekdays and $2-300 on weekends, depending on whether or not it's a party weekend.
This summer the Pines will launch Pinesbooker, which is basically like an AirBNB or a less skeezy Craigslist for Fire Island. When people need to sell a room or a part of their share, they list it on Pinesbooker and people can rent rooms/spaces for single weekends on the fly.
kind of strange seeing that Quebec flag in the last picture.
Cool pictures.
Hey Lester, as a BGM, how would you describe the level of racial diversity in Fire Island?
@Joetx: Not gonna lie to ya, it's not super diverse, but there was a nice (and surprising) mix of people over all.
@muscl954: Thanks!
Thank you for a wonderful guide. I am a 64 years young African-American male whose first visit to Fire Island was last Summer, at the invitation of a friend who, has a house there. The experience for me was exciting, anxious, and terrifying knowing I didn't fit the stereotype of the average island goer.
There is not much diversity there and I would not be able to hide there. I am an artist and the island is a tremendous source of inspiration along with peace and quiet. The fun starts on the ferry from Sayville.
It's certainly worth the trip, go, play, relax and enjoy.
Have a great Summer!!!
@Lester Brathwaite: Thanks, Lester, as well as bobbyo2, for the input re: racial diversity (or rather, the lack thereof) in Fire Island. Although I was expecting that, it's disappointing nevertheless.

Thanks possibly to their nonconference opponents, the Arizona Wildcats did not slide significantly in the Top 25 polls and power ratings after losing to UCLA last week. The Wildcats (17-2, 5-2) dropped Monday only from No. 6 to No. 8 in both The Associated Press Top 25 and ESPN/USA Today coaches polls, and are No. 4 in RPI. They are even still projected to earn a No. 1 NCAA tournament seed in the latest CBS Sports projection.

Fron Stacy's Review 11/17/10
Why would a stick test show negative for glucose but positive by Clinitest?
Other reducing sugars present impact the Clinitest.
What disease comes from a failure to produce Phenylalanime hydroxylase and gives a mousey order?
What would you with a sample that has a pH of 6.5 and Ammonium Biurate Crystals?
Recheck it. Ammonium Biurate Crystals are alkaline.
It is the only urate sediment which forms in an alkaline urine.
What disease shows a decrease in the antiglomular basement membrane antibody?
Good pasture syndrome.
What disease shows no bacteria, proteinuria, allergic reaction, causes allergic reaction, inflammation and hematuria?
Acute interstitial nephritis.
Nitrite chemical principle:
Greiss reagent. Reduces nitrates to nitrides. Negative does not rule out bacteria.
Color change from cream to pink.
Urobilinogen chemical principle:
Erhlich reagent: p-(dimethylamino) benzaldehyde.
Pink/red colors.
Bile duct: Normal
Liver damage: ++
Hemolytic dis: +++
Protein chemical principle:
Tetrabromophenol blue.
Highly buffered alkaline urine overrides acid buffer system.
Color change from yellow through green to blue will occur in the presence of protein.
pH chemical principle:
A dual indicator system.
Color change from orange, through green to blue over a pH range.
Blood chemical principle:
Pseudoperoxidative activities of the haemoglobin.
and myoglobin components of blood are responsible for the catalytic oxidation of the indicator, in the presence of the organic hyperoxide.
Color change from yellow through green to blue

Acetoacetic Acid (the physiological ketone) reacts with Sodium Nitroprusside.
Acetest confirming.
Diabetes mellitus
Starvation, malabsorption, dieting
Can result in diabetic acidosis
Produces a pink or mauve colour.
Bilirubin chemical principle:
Produces tan to brown colours.
Bile duct: +++
Liver damage: + or -
Hemolytic dis: negative
Glucose principle:
The test is based on the glucose oxidase/peroxidase chromogen reaction.
More sensitive than Clinitest.
Clinitest alternate.
Color change from green to brown.
Renal calculi
Exposure to toxic chemicals
Strenuous exercise
Transfusion reactions
Hemolytic anemias
Severe burns
Strenuous exercise/RBC trauma
Brown recluse spider bites
Glucose oxidase interpretation
1+ positive: Small amount of glucose present
4+ positive: Possible oxidizing agent interfering
Negative: Nonglucose reducing substance present
Possible interfering substance for reagent strip.
Blue diaper syndrome. Exposure of urine to air = indigo blue
Inherited disorder affects intestinal reabsorption of indole and renal tubular reabsorption = Fanconi syndrome.
Fanconi syndrome
Disease of the proximal renal tubules of the kidney.
Glucose, amino acids, uric acid, phosphate and bicarbonate are passed into the urine, instead of being reabsorbed.
Defect in metabolism of homosystine.
Produces increased methionine in body.
Failure to thrive, cataracts, mental retardation, thromboemboli, death.
Defect in lysosomal membranes.
Prevents release of cystine into cytoplasm for metabolism = crystalline cystine deposits in body.
Renal tubules are affected by deposits causing Fanconi syndrome

Incompletely metabolized polysaccharides accumulate in connective tissue.
CTAB test positive: turbitiy in the urine.
Clinitest interpretation
Negative: Small amount of glucose present
Negative: Possible oxidizing agent interfering
Negative: Nonglucose reducing substance present
Possible interfering substance for reagent strip.
How can you tell by clarity hematuria or hemoglobinuria?
Hematuria = cloudy red urine
Hemoglobinuria = clear red urine
How will failure to detect a pass through affect the results?
A strong positive will be "passed through" and show negative.
What condition are Tyrosine crystals seen in and what other crystal could also be seen?
Severe liver disease. Cystine would also be seen.
In what other forms does calcium oxalate appear besides the "envelope".
Less commonly, it can be dumb-bell shaped or ovoid. When ovid, it may be mistaken for RBCs.
What is the clinical significance of fatty casts in the urine sediment?
They are associated with nephrotic syndrome.
What is the clinical significance of granular casts in the urine?
0-1/LPF is considered normal. Increased numbers seen in glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis. Granular casts may form the degeneration of cellular casts.
Oval fat bodies
What is the stain that is used to confirm oval fat bodies as seen in the above picture?
Sudan III or Oil Red O fat stains
What are the three types of epithelial cells found in the urine and which has the most clinical significance?
Squamous, Transitional and Renal.
What is the clinical significance of waxy casts in the urine sediment?
They are the final stage in the degeneration of cellular cast and point to severe urinary stasis.
What is the color of the precipitate formed when amorphous phosphates are present in large amounts?
Amorphous phosphate crystals are White in large amounts
Squamous epithelial, RBC, WBC
How would you report cells and casts differently?
RBC and WBC cells are reported per high power field and casts are reported per low power field?
How do you check for hyline casts and mucus?
Because the refractive index of hyline casts and mucus is close to that of urine, they are only seen if the light is subdued.
What is the clinical significance of ammonium biurate crystals?
Usually none. They are seen in old urine.
Name four things that can be mistaken for RBCs in the urine sediment.

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 462 reviews
Didnt like that they only allowed in 4 people in the pool area when i had three kids all under 8, my hub and I and my helper with me. Then they said 5ppl max. Although i told them I couldnt go into the water and my helper had to look after my three year old, they insisted my husband Go back up to the hotel. Although later on, they called back my husband when they realized my 6&8 year old were alone in the water... wasted my time trying to convince them for almost half an hour. Never had a problem when staying at the Galaxy, Okura, and JW Marriott.
Well if the 2 beds option had slightly bigger beds it would be better. I have stayed at the neighboring hotel and they had larger beds USB or HDMI inputs were hidden and couldn't view my own show. Overall the room itself was spacious and we had an excellent view of the Grand Resort Deck. The staff was very nice and polite. However slightly disappointed that the Galaxy Group cancelled the shuttle service to "other hotels"
It was fantastic. They gave us complimentary birthday cake with hand writing celebration card to my wife. My wife was really happy so I was happy too. Great.
Very disspointing, the pool in the room is flooding, it showed that the infrustrure of China is really bad. This vocation is to celebrate my birthday but it ruined my birthday mood. The manager kept saying sorry and upgraded my room at the end but i decided Not to come to this hotel again again more!!
Overall is not too bad but the service and the condition of the restaurant (breakfast) is so disappointed. Suggest to give a proper training for them to meet the 5stars hotel standard.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

The LEDs are Cree XR-E's. 6 CW and 6 RB. The fixture is electrical conduit and the lamp heads are from a floor lamp that an old roommate left behind. I stripped the guts and fit a heatsink with a 60mm fan an 4 LEDs into each one. I have various optics for them so that I can adjust intensity and color mixing after I get the scape I like. A DIY Typhon LED controller runs the 2 meanwells.
I found the tank in a garbage pile while helping my sister move to Baton Rouge. It's a Tenecor Simplicity 20L AIO. After LOTS of polishing with Novus plastic polish, I have it looking pretty respectable. The filtration has been modified to make a fuge section where bioballs used to be. I ran bioballs when I had some cichlids in the tank and they worked well, but not for a SW setup.
The stand has been the biggest holdup for this build. I had started on the lights over a year ago and finally got them wrapped up around October. The original plan was to build the stand over Christmas break, but the shop at school had the power locked. A paperclip and screwdriver fixed that and I managed to get all the pieces that had to be laminated cut to rough size. After two months, I've finally had enough free time from my architectural thesis to finish it. The entire stand is made with 1/2" Baltic Birch ply and the top, bottom shelf, and legs are laminated to 1". I built a kitchen table a few years ago, and bc the tank will be right by it, I wanted the stand to match. The only hardware used was 8 bolts(one in each leg) and the hinges for the doors, everything else is held together by rabbits, mortise and tenon, and old fashioned friction and gravity. All the furniture I build can be disassembled and packed flat for moving. All the electrical is mounted to a panel and hidden away behind the doors. There are openings routed into the back at the top and bottom for running cords.
Below are some pics of the build. Feel free to comment; but I doubt I'll change much, if anything.

Will Braun mess hurt Brewers in free agency?
A prominent baseball writer raised a new question on Day 4 of the Ryan Braun suspension: Given the unprecedented, on-the-record venom toward Braun from fellow Major Leaguers, will the Brewers face an even greater challenge luring free agent players?
Conceding that most players follow the money, FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal wrote, "Many players are angry at Braun for claiming he had done nothing wrong. Some free agents, though, also might question whether Braun will be the same hitter now that he will face more rigorous testing, and whether the Brewers' offense will be diminished as a result."
The Brewers' biggest recent free agent acquisition, right-hander Kyle Lohse, was not ready to make that leap.
"We're in the first week of this," said Lohse, who has purposely kept a low profile in the wake of Braun's suspension. "There's a lot more that's going to happen in terms of how Ryan handles his part. I know everybody wants to make headlines and say all kinds of things, but I think we should wait a little bit before making bold statements."
He predicted that free agents would continue to judge Milwaukee on whether they fit for the Brewers and whether they see the organization heading in the right direction. He added of Braun: "To be honest with you, I know as much about this as you do, probably less, because I haven't been reading stuff."
No one in a Brewers uniform is more disappointed by the team's dismal season than Lohse, who signed a three-year, $33 million contract at the end of Spring Training because, beyond the fact Milwaukee made the best offer, he viewed the club as a contender. Instead, the Brewers have the second-worst record in the National League.
Another newcomer, reliever Burke Badenhop, who came to the team in a December 2012 trade, was not buying the idea that the Braun mess will hurt the Brewers' chances with free agents.
"I really wouldn't see how that would factor in," Badenhop said. "It's a thing that did happen, but when you're looking at a place to play and an ownership group and the ballclub and the manager — I'm pretty sure those people should not be held accountable [for a player getting suspended]. It's not really connected to the club. Is nobody going to play for the Yankees now [because of Alex Rodriguez's alleged involvement with Biogenesis]?
"I think it comes down to each player individually. Some are obviously more fed up with it than others. But that would not have been in the top 10 things for me if I was thinking about a team. I don't think the Brewers are going to suffer — this is a great ballpark, a great place to play."

ALBERTVILLE, AL -- Slide into a seat, order 50 "always fresh, never frozen" wings and enjoy the Braves as they take on the Mets, the Tennessee Titans play the Jacksonville Jaguars or Alabama battles Auburn.
Whatever sport you follow, Jefferson's in Albertville is the place to pig out and hang out, according to Times readers. Jefferson's took the top spot in the Times' Readers Choice contest for Best Sports Bar.
So, what's all the fuss about for a sports bar 45 miles from Huntsville?
"Great food, great atmosphere," said Gil Bruce, who owns the Albertville franchise with his wife Sherrie. And unlike some sports bars where patrons swear like sailors and smoke is a free appetizer, Bruce said Jefferson's is "family-oriented."
The Albertville Jefferson's has been open for two months, but the franchise, which started in Jacksonville and now has seven locations, has been feeding folks and showing sports for almost 20 years.
Sean McCooey, a partner in the Jefferson's chain and 1990 Huntsville High grad, said his "goal is to get back to Huntsville" and open a Jefferson's restaurant.
According to both McCooey and Bruce, the sports-watching sanctuary has a huge following and a loyal customer base.
"You say the word Jefferson's restaurant and a smile comes to their faces," Bruce said.
Inside the Albertville Jefferson's, pennants from just about every sports team in the country -- both professional and college -- line the walls. And yes, both Alabama and Auburn pennants are prominently featured throughout the building.
Eight flat-screen TVs are scattered around the restaurant. And during halftime (or blow-outs) there's a Golden Tee video game (a must-have for any sports bar), an old-school Ms. Pac-Man game (a must-have for any bar) and a skill crane game (for winning a cute stuffed animal for your girlfriend before leaving the bar).
Besides a sports-themed decor and fancy televisions, every respectable sports bar must have awesome hot wings and cold, cheap beer. Jefferson's has both. The "double-dipped" wings, which are fried, dipped in "turbo" sauce and then re-fried, are a popular stomach filler, according Bruce. Pitchers of beer are $7. And there are food and drink specials every day.
"The goal (at Jefferson's) is something for everybody...at an affordable price," Bruce said.

Campobello di Licata Things to Do
A Celebration of Labor
Both my grandfathers worked with their hands and their backs. My father's father mainly worked the land while my mother's father worked construction. You may have noticed that I have not described them as a "farmer" and a "contractor". They were most accurately laborers but still they worked proudly.
There is a square in Campobello di Licata called Piazza Tien An Men e Togliatti. It presents several sculptures which celebrate unskilled labor. One is a casting of two great bronze hands and the other bronze is a series of " tools from the job". I didn't understand what I was looking at while I was there and it has only been since researching these Virtual Tourist pages that I have begun to appreciate how appropriate these memorials are for my ancestors home.
A side note to this is seems to be the linguistic oddity associated with the name of the square. Piazza Tien An Men seems so phonetically identical to it's more famous namesake in China, Tiananmen Square, that it seems difficult to believe that it is only happenstance.Related to:

My visit to Campobello di Licata was in 1994 and while that doesn't seem that long ago in terms of the internet it was ages ago. Research about this little Sicilian town was pretty tough back then and ultimately I decided that I would just have to "wing it". I was looking for the church that would have the birth records for my grandparents. Pulling into town you eventually end up in a very large square, the Piazza XX Settembre. At one end of the square was a very handsome baroque church adorned with the strangest decorations. This was the Mother Church, San Giovanni Battista. If you enlarge the photo you will see the unbelievable electric lights which had been attached in preparation for the annual festival of the town's patron saint, St. John the Baptist. The good news was I had found the right church.Add to your Trip Planner

I actually went to Campobella De Licata with the goal of finding some family roots and to my amazement did so with some ease. The town is a pretty sleepy place but it still manages to have 5 churches. Not knowing where to start I picked the obvious. The big church on the square in the center of town...San Giovanni Battista.
Despite waking the pastor from his afternoon nap, he agreeably took us up to the rectory office.I didn't speak Italian and he spoke no English but I had equipped myself with a family tree. By manner of pointing and gesturing I was able to indicate my grandfathers who were originally from Campobella De Licata. I knew their birth dates and probable years of birth from various U.S. paperwork. Without much reaction he rotated in his chair to the bookcase behind him containing rows of ledger books measuring about 4 inches wide and 12 inches high (the actual book can be seen in the photo with red binding). In a matter of about 2 or 3 minutes he had found handwritten baptismal records for both grandfathers...one in 1883 and the other in 1885.
I was astonished but the congenial pastor presented the results with a shoulder shrug and smile as if to say. "What else would you expect? I've been waiting for you."Add to your Trip Planner

The four U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan Sunday, including a Carlisle man, were a reminder not just that Americans are still in war but that the government shutdown means more than a delayed trip to a tourist attraction.
After the Pentagon said it couldn't legally pay immediate death benefits to military families, an organization that helps veterans stepped up and agreed to spot the U.S. the money. It'll get repaid when the shutdown is over.
Maybe it'll be enough to spur the lawmakers to do their jobs, too?
On a (much) lighter note, Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien stopped by Nittanyville to drop off some pizza and dunk some baskets. Really. Audrey Snyder has video.
In other news: Ten things to know Thursday, from The Associated Press:
1. HOUSE GOP LEADERS WEIGH SHORT-TERM DEBT LIMIT HIKE: Meanwhile, there is far less urgency inside the leadership about ending the nine-day government shutdown.
2. WHO'S PAYING MILITARY DEATH BENEFITS DURING SHUTDOWN: A charity, the Fisher House Foundation, will pay the benefits, then be reimbursed by the government after the shutdown ends.
3. THREE-STAR ADMIRAL FIRED FROM JOB AT NUCLEAR COMMAND: Vice Adm. Tim Giardina is being reassigned in an extremely rare move following allegations he used counterfeit chips at a gambling casino.
4. US SLASHES AID TO EGYPT: The decision will likely create new friction in Washington's already uneasy relations with the government that ousted President Morsi.
5. OBAMA'S FED CHAIR NOMINEE SEES UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Janet Yellen says there has been progress, but more needs to be done to strengthen the economy.
6. INVESTIGATORS SEEK MOTIVE IN COURTHOUSE SHOOTING: A gunman who fired up to two dozen rounds at a federal courthouse in W.Va. is shot and killed by police returning fire.
7. WHERE WOMEN ARE CHALLENGING A DRIVING BAN: In Saudi Arabia, neither traffic nor Islamic laws forbid females to drive, and now some women would like to discuss "excuses" that keep them from taking the wheel.
8. WOMAN GIVES BIRTH ON LAWN OF MEXICO CLINIC: The mother was turned away by a nurse, and a photo of her squatting beside her newborn has horrified the country.
9. WHY ENGINEERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT AN OUTER SPACE MISSION: A Jupiter-bound spacecraft has gone into safe mode and is returning a low rate of data.
10. PASSENGER GETS CRASH COURSE IN FLIGHT TRAINING: After the pilot collapses, a 77-year-old man safely lands a Cessna 172 in northwest England with some help from instructors on the ground.
Today's highlight in history: On Oct. 10, 1962, President John F. Kennedy, responding to the thalidomide birth defects crisis, signed an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requiring pharmaceutical companies to prove that their products were safe and effective prior to marketing.

My Experience of Bishops University, Quebec, Canada
Location: Bishop's is situated about an hour and a half away from Montreal City by bus. The college is in a small town; Lenoxville. The college itself is five minute's walk from this town/street. As small as it is, Lenoxville has everything students need including, a garage, an off-license, two pubs and one "club", pharmacies and supermarkets. Oh and for the mid-night munchies there is Sub-Way, Mc Donald's, and Captain Grek's or the chipper as we might call it! You can easily travel to Montreal at the weekends from the bus station in Sherbrooke, a town five minutes from Lenoxville by bus. Also the college is located not far from Vermont where, if the snow falls and you make friends with some drivers there is always the opportunity to do some skiing or snowboarding in the winter months.
Classes: While I was in Bishops I studied marketing and organisational behaviour. The classes are two hours long once a week, so in total we had 10 hours of lectures weekly. Some of the classes had students taking their finals in them and so the classes are taken quite seriously by most students. Also, since people in Canada have to pay a lot of money to go to college the general rule is that they work hard. Classes emphasise participation and group work. While at first this can seem quite daunting, you get used to their way of doing things very quickly. And classes often feel more like a group discussion than a lecture. The work load from classes is constant but easy enough to keep up with and not too difficult.
People: The people in Bishop's are on most part outgoing and confident. You may find that people just sit beside you and start talking to you, this is something we found quite odd at the beginning but it is such an easy place to meet people and they are all very friendly. So my advice would be to be like them, just start talking to people early on and this will mean you are invited to all the good parties!
Social Life: Ok, so this part is the best and most important part of Bishops! Because the university is small, you essentially know everyone and they will know you. I remember walking down the corridor and having a group of boys shout of hey "There's the Irish girls" and we had never seen them before! If you are thinking of Bishops as a possible college for you, I would be warning you that these students give the Irish a run for their money at the drinking games. They do work hard but they play a hell of a lot harder! And as Irish they will be expecting you to attend every party and be the last man standing! There is an event on nearly every night in Lenoxville, be it at the Lion pub or the Gate bar that is on campus. They have a lot of themed nights like 90's, fancy dress and so on so bring plenty of fun clothes!
Accommodation: We stayed on campus while in Bishops, as a general rule we would recommend students choose either Abott or Kheuner as residence; these are the ones that have the most fun and mischief! In residence there is only first year students and exchange students. So if you want to socialise with the older students you will need to get talking during class or in the bars! The accommodation is two rooms connected by a sharing bathroom. While it is basic, it is luxury compared to some of the off campus houses! You do not have a kitchen or sitting room, but in the residence is TV and games rooms and food is provided from 8-11 (I think) in the nearby canteen.
Important Dates: We missed out on frosh week, and would indefinitely recommend you check when this begins before you book flights as this is the best time to meet people and get used to the university. Also some of the best days in Bishops are homecoming and Halloween. Finally we would recommend that you attend all the football games, as confusing and all as they are at the start they are a really good laugh!
It really is an amazing college and I had the best experience of my life there. I'd recommend it for you if you don't mind doing a bit of work, are willing to try new things are looking to met some new people! Oh and if you can represent the Irish in drinking competitions! Purple is their college colour...so bring plenty of purple clothes!

Michael Egan, who is suing "X-Men" director Bryan Singer for drugging and raping him in the late 1990s, had won a $2 million default judgment against another man mentioned in the new lawsuit, TMZ.com reports.
Egan, now 31, filed suit in 2000 against Marc Collins-Rector, who owned the estate where the alleged Hollywood sex ring was headquartered, claiming Collins-Rector sexually abused him. That lawsuit does not mention Singer.
At a news conference Thursday, Egan told reporters that he had blocked the incidents with Singer from his mind, and only when he started therapy after sobering up did he remember being sexually abused by the director. "I would have the feelings and flashbacks all the time, and the sadness and depression," he tells People magazine. "What I did was I drank, and drank, and drank, and eventually I got to a spot two years ago where I had suicidal thoughts."
Singer's lawyer has called Egan's claims "absurd and defamatory," and says he plans to pursue a malicious prosecution suit against Egan.
Egan's lawyer says he filed the suit now because the statue of limitations runs out in Hawaii, where some of the alleged sexual abuse took place, later this month.

The effort surpassed the 45 reps by former Arkansas offensive lineman Mitch Petrus (2010), former Ohio State defensive end Mike Kudla (2006) and former UTEP defensive tackle Leif Larsen (2000).
Combine records have been tracked since 2000.
Paea breezed through the first 20 reps like the average man would benching a straw.
He didn't show any signs of fatigue until about the 35th rep when he began to slow down just a little.
At 42 the bar finally appeared heavy for Paea as he paused at the top to regain himself. Then he banged out two more quick reps, paused, hit another, paused, another, paused, another and then another to reach 48.
He struggled to get up number 49 as fellow defensive linemen cheered him on.
He just missed benching No. 50 as he couldn't quite lock his arms to finish off the rep.
"His strength in the weight room translates on to the football field," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said.

Louisiana students would pay higher tuition and fees and be charged extra for taking heavy course loads under proposals unveiled Wednesday that are aimed at mitigating severe cuts planned for the state's public colleges and universities.
The increases, combined with budget cuts already in the pipeline and tuition hikes that have already been authorized, would generate $257 million for the 2011-12 fiscal year, when the state faces a historic budget crunch. When combined with new federal education money the state expects to receive, the proposal would mean higher education would take an 8 percent cut next year -- down from a "doomsday" 32 percent reduction contemplated in a recent budget-cutting exercise.
The draft proposals were presented to the Board of Regents by the Louisiana University System, and face a long and perilous road to becoming law. Not only do the proposals lack formal support from Gov. Bobby Jindal or the Legislature, but they do not yet have full endorsement from each of the state's university systems.
The elements of the plan are almost certain to be heavily debated in the months ahead as political leaders try to fill a $1.6 billion budget gap in the 2011-12 budget year. And Jindal indicated earlier this week that he would be open to fee increases provided they are tied to improved performance.
"This document ... I think represents a lot of the conversation among the system heads that's gone on over the last year," said University of Louisiana System President Randy Moffett. "This is a beginning plan. It obviously has nuances and questions that need to be ironed out."
Under the plan, the annual cost for a student at Louisiana State University's main campus in Baton Rouge would climb by $1,555 for those without financial aid, and $982 for those who receive TOPS scholarships. At the University of New Orleans, the annual increases would come to $1,139 for those without financial aid and $663 for TOPS students.
LSU System President John Lombardi said the only alternative to letting schools raise money through new tuition and fees is to have them declare financial exigency, which is similar to bankruptcy and would likely cause lasting damage to Louisiana's national reputation.
"That would be a major problem for all of us in all of our institutions," Lombardi said.
But Regent Victor Stelly, a former state legislator, suggested political difficulties lie ahead if the plan makes it to the Legislature for consideration. "How do you balance this with the pledge, 'No new taxes?'" Stelly asked Lombardi.
"I think the answer is, this is not a tax, this is a charge, a fee," Lombardi said.
The most costly and significant change would be to raise $75 million a year by charging undergraduate students for each academic credit hour. Currently, most state colleges charge a fixed tuition for "full-time enrollment" of 12 credit hours per semester. Students that cram more credit hours into a semester pay the same tuition as those who only take 12, meaning the extra classes are essentially free.
According to Board of Regents data, Louisiana college students in fall 2009 enrolled in 301,724 credit hours above the 12-hour level, or the equivalent of more than 25,000 full-time students who aren't paying any tuition at all.
Lombardi said the 12-hour cap has created a system where many students sign up for as many as 18 credit hours per semester, only to drop courses midway through without a financial penalty. That results in schools having to hire unnecessary instructors or provide course offerings that ultimately aren't needed.
Charging tuition by the credit hour would "make sure that people pay for what they get," Lombardi said.
Other money-raising proposals include:
- Raising $55.5 million a year through a "fiscal stabilization surcharge" on students equal to 10 percent of tuition that would stay in place until state tuition has caught up to the Southern average.
- Raising $31 million a year through higher tuition, which would be on top of $60 million in tuition hikes already authorized by the Legislature in recent years.
- Saving another $34.7 million by "annualizing" the mid-year budget cuts recently ordered by the governor.
Lombardi said most of the tuition and fee increases would likely fall outside the TOPS program, while students who can demonstrate genuine financial need would be eligible for help from the state.

Plans to create a regional park on about 120 acres of land at the site of the Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit have dissolved.
The Detroit Free Press reports Thursday that the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority shot down the idea by a 4-2 vote, deciding not to lease the site for five years. The plan also included an option to lease for an additional 25 years.
Macomb County's representative on the board blames declining revenues as part of the reason the plan was voted down.
The vote followed a report predicting property tax revenue to the park system could drop by $10 million within three years.
A fairgrounds park would have been Detroit's first metropark and could have revived the annual State Fair which had its state funding cut last year.

WATCHUNG -- Is a library just a place where books are kept, or is it more like a community center? That seemed to be the burning question Monday night, June 18, at a special meeting in Watchung.
While residents seemed united in their desire to keep the Police Department local, they were quite divided on what to do about a proposal to completely renovate and expand the borough's library, at a cost of around $4.2 million.
Those opposed to the idea questioned the need for spending so much money on a facility already on the verge of being obsolete in this age of e-books, films that can be downloaded and Google. Others spoke of the library as a community center, a place where people of all ages can attend programs, socialize and learn new skills.
The task of "selling" the expansion now is in the hands of the council and library board, as residents will have a chance to vote on the proposal during the November general election, when up to 65% of the residents are likely to turn out to vote, said Councilman Stephen Pote. He is the council liaison to the Library Advisory Board.
Architect Peter Ortiz of Foreman Architects Engineers presented his firm's proposal to gut the current facility, expand the main level of the L-shaped building and keep all the books and library functions on that level. In addition, the library wouldl be made accessible to people with disabilities, have a café and a small meeting room and an elevator. On the second floor, there would be two meeting rooms that could be combined into one, and a wood deck, and the attic would host four offices.
Mechanical systems and book storage would be on the lower floor. Bathrooms and the elevator wouldl be in the lower floor entrance area and there would be a small fenced courtyard outside the entrance.
Everything in the new library would be "flexible," Ortiz explained. That way, as the needs of the residents and the librarians change, the library could change. The library now holds 30,000 volumes and after renovations there would be room for 50,000, Ortiz said.
Resident Howard Greenbaum, carrying an iPad in his hand, led off comments by a number of people opposed to renovating the current facility. "I have a problem with a 10-year-old study," he said. If the study were undertaken now, the goals would be different because "the entire world is different," he said. In particular, the idea of acquiring 20,000 more books is "very wrong," he said, especially in the age of e-books, tablets and book stores closing.
He suggested renting the former Borders store at Watchung Mall "for a few years" before proceeding with any renovation plans.
Yvonne Kellogg said this was "the wrong time to spend four million dollars," and chastised the council for its failure to plan long term for the borough.
Linda Goldschein concurred that this was not the time to spend four to five million dollars and added, "Maybe we should rent Borders."
Jay Heymann suggested, "It's a great deal cheaper to give everyone a Nook than to do this."
Virginia Hartmann spoke in favor of the library changes and said because the design would be flexible, things could be changed quickly to accommodate the public and changing technologies. She suggested going to various businesses along the highway to get donations for the library and to apply for money from the Somerset County Library.
She predicted the cost to taxpayers would be significantly less than the $4.2 million projected total cost, if donations were solicited. Some of it might "come from Somerset County…we seem to contribute more money than anyone else in the library system…we are owed some of this money back," she said.
As for suggestions that a library is somehow passé, "I think it says something very bad about a town that does not have a library," she said.
Dorothy Addario supported the library proposal unconditionally, first because "books will never go away," and second because of the services the library offers, including databases that are not available to individuals.
After visiting a number of libraries in the state, some large, some small, she said she came to the conclusion that "libraries today are more community center places." They are places where young children can learn crafts, adults can learn how to use electronic equipment and do research, where students can work together. "I was negative, but I changed my mind," she said.
Saul Seltzer said, "A library is important; it's critical to a community" and he predicted it will be much more than simply a place where a lot of books are kept.
The library is located just off the Watchung Circle in a house built in 1945 and can be accessed using the Watchung Arts Center driveway from the circle or a secondary parking lot adjacent to Best Lake.
The quest to do something about the overcrowded library began six years ago, said Pote. Three years ago there were workshops with the public, to see what residents wanted in a library, visits to dozens of libraries and committee meetings to help sort out the needs of the library staff and the community.
Requests for proposals went out, with 12 firms answering the initial advertisement. Six firms were chosen, then, after a series of interviews, investigations and discussions, these were whittled down to four, then two, then one.
A copy of the drawings presented by Ortiz should be available shortly on the township's website or can be viewed at Borough Hall.

Cluck, Cluck, Buck!
There must be some great hunting in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Several hunting bloggers are from that area and someone is always killing a monster buck up there.
Cathy Smith owns 80 acres in the heart of it. They fondly call it Camp Chicken and she blogs at Camp Chicken Chronicles. Cathy and her friends Mary, Tiny and Arlene enjoy getting away and enjoying nature there. They hunt, cook and relax there and if someone gets a deer that is great too.
She has some good pictures, fun stories and seems a very knowledgable and capable outdoors woman. I am glad to now call her my friend and I think that after you visit with her, you will too.
Dazd, it is Camp Chicken, not the Chicken Ranch.

just the speedo accuracy is better/worse
That is true the speed shown on the speedo will be the same what ever size wheels you have it's just you actual speed will cange worth checking with a GPS if you worried about speeding through cameras etc
Chimp Tactics You Know It Makes Sence
with std wheels I get almost 80 on the clock.
It does depend on wear of tyres and of course the overall diameter.
About 80, with 16's on

GRANITE?FALLS?- The Yellow Medicine County Board passed a resolution Tuesday denying the county's endorsement of proposed legislation allowing counties to publish certain public notices on their websites.
The resolution has already passed in Lyon and Lincoln counties.
The proposed legislation would allow counties to some post notices on their county site instead of or in addition to newspapers, as they are presently required to.
County Administrator Peg Heglund told the commissioners publication costs for the county run approximately $6,000-$7,000 per year.
Commissioner Gary Johnson proposed the motion to deny the county's endorsement.
"Too many old people don't have access to websites," Johnson said.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner John Berends.
"It's hard enough to get people to come to meetings," Berends said. "This denies them another source of information."
Commissioner Ron Antony, the only opposing vote pointed out the legislation would allow but not require counties to use only their websites for public notices.
Commissioner Greg Renneke was absent.
The board approved an additional appropriation request on the consent agenda by Sheriff Bill Flaten for $12,000 to replace the video matrix system for controlling security cameras in the jail. The equipment is worn out and not repairable, according to the request.
Yellow Medicine Soil and Water Conservation District Manager Lou Ann Nagle informed the commissioners Yellow Medicine SWCD had been chosen "2013 SWCD of the Year" by the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, during her 2013 financial review briefing.

My Favorite Year
- Directed by Richard Benjamin
===Story=== This love letter to the golden days of live television in the 1950s is a thinly veiled depiction of Your Show of Shows, the groundbreaking comedy show that starred Sid Caesar. The story, set in 1954, focuses on one of the writers for the show (Mark Linn-Baker), who is given the task of chaperoning that week's guest star, a famously ill-behaved movie star named Alan Swann. He's based on Errol Flynn and played with Oscar-nominated glee by Peter O'Toole. He also happens to be the writer's movie hero, but proves to be a hilariously drunken party animal, one who opens the naive young writer's eyes in a variety of ways. The highlight of the film is Swann's visit to the writer's outer-borough home and his encounter with the writer's star-struck mother (a delightful turn by Lainie Kazan). One of the better films directed by former actor Richard Benjamin. ===DVD Features=== *Anamorphic *Closed-captioned *Color *DVD-Video *Subtitled *Widescreen *NTSC

The Red Cross had to scramble to find hotel rooms for 16 Terrytown fire victims on Saturday morning because the metro area is so packed with Final Four visitors, said Deputy Chief Robert Masson of the Terrytown Fire Department.
The department got a 9 a.m. call about a fire in the 200 block of Helen Street in Terrytown, Masson said. But by the time the first engine arrived, five minutes later, the fire had gone from a small fire to a big fire, spreading into all of the building's four apartments and breaking through the roof. Investigators estimated that it caused roughly $100,000 in damages to the fourplex. It also displaced all 16 of the complex's residents, including eight children, he said.
While the fire and its causes are still under investigation, Masson said that the fire apparently started in a bedroom closet where it was discovered by a 4-year-old, who called for his brother, who in turn woke up their mother, who called 911. So it's difficult to know how much time elapsed between the discovery and the 911 call.
Plus, once the doors were opened, as people left the building, the fire spread rapidly, fed by oxygen. "Once air hits it, it's gone," Masson said.

HANCEVILLE, Alabama -- Tanner girls basketball coach Larry Greene knew what was coming. It didn't mean it was any easier to stop -- or swallow at the end.
No. 7 Red Bay played a slow-it-down, eat-the-clock, drive-you-nuts offense for the most part that took the Rattlers out of their game on both ends of the court and wound up with a 38-27 Class 2A Northwest Regional final win at Wallace State-Hanceville's Tom Drake Coliseum on Saturday.
"I felt like they were getting frustrated and we were taking advantage of it," said Red Bay's Kasey Sparks, after finishing with 13 points and six rebounds. "You'd want to drive (to the basket) if you were open, but you didn't."
And that just drove the Rattlers out of their game.
"What they did offensively was hard to counter. We're not used to playing that style of ball and (Red Bay coach Donnie Roberts) has been doing that as long as I've known him," said Tanner coach Larry Greene as his team ended the season at 20-8. "It was difficult to get into an offensive rhythm. We were tight and we stayed tight."
The problems with patience on defense did hurt on Tanner's offensive end. The Rattlers shot just 9 of 41 from the field and their 18 turnovers led to 21 Red Bay points.
"We probably played our best defensive game, holding a team like that to 28 points," said Roberts after the Tigers moved to 31-3 overall and Roberts picked up his 808th career win. "We put the game in (Allie Kennedy's) hands. She missed inside early and settled down, got o thew basket and scored."
The biggest difference for Kennedy was within. She was 1 of 9 in the first half, but rebounded nicely to finish with a game-high 14 points and earned MVP honors. Kirstin Brown led Tanner with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
"I felt frustrated at first," said Kennedy, "but I got more confidence in the second half and even when I missed, I would tell myself it will go in sometimes."
All-Tourney: Hannah Hampton, Sulligent; Chloe Harbison, Cold Springs; Kristen Brown, Kelsey Houston, Tanner; Kasey Sparks, Allie Kennedy, Red Bay. MVP: Kennedy.

In just 23 hours, two Gun Lake Casino visitors celebrated hitting it big last weekend.
The Casino's Jumbo Jackpot hit for the first time at 2:45 a.m., Saturday Feb. 26, and for the second time early Sunday, Feb. 27.
The first jackpot winner, a Kalamazoo woman identified as Sylvia, hit for just under $41,445 early Saturday morning, and less than a day later, a Hudsonville woman identified as Marijke, struck the progressive jackpot for $21,704.
The Jumbo Jackpot is an exclusive Gun Lake Casino jackpot that starts at $20,000 and must be distributed before reaching $50,000. The progressive jackpot had been climbing since the Feb. 10 opening and hit for the first time on Feb. 26, allowing the jackpot to reset itself at $20,000.
Anyone playing with their Gun Lake Casino issued Passport card is eligible to win the jackpot and everyone playing with their Passport card when the jackpot hits wins $25 in free slot play.
"Jumbo Jackpot hitting twice in 23 hours is amazing," said Carter Pavey, director of marketing for Gun Lake Casino. "It just goes to show that it could hit at any time."
Casino officials are also reporting several other large payouts including a $75,000 winner from Wyoming, a $40,000 winner from Grand Rapids and a $33,000 winner from Plainwell. For more information visit www.gunlakecasino.com.

The weatherman had called for cold, maybe rain.
But when Zach Putnam threw the first pitch in the University of Michigan's Big Ten tournament opener Thursday night, Ray Fisher Stadium was bathed in a warm, golden glow, the sun painting ever-longer shadows on the emerald grass as it worked its way down the Western horizon.
It was Rockwellian.
Perfect field. Perfect weather. Brand new stadium.
Brand new program, really.
And, heck, why shouldn't the weather change for Rich Maloney, since pretty much everything else has?
Six years ago, he left Ball State University for Ann Arbor and a school where baseball didn't matter any more. Michigan was a Big Ten afterthought coming off a 21-32 season. Ray Fisher was ... well ... not to insult a historical structure, but the old stadium's best days were clearly years, if not decades, in the past.
Maloney, who grew up wanting to play for Michigan (but ended up at Western Michigan), only saw the possibilities.
He delivered almost immediately; this year's regular-season Big Ten title was already his third.
The Wolverines took the field in their beautiful, new Wilpon Baseball Complex ranked 18th nationally and projected to host an NCAA Regional, boasting the conference's best player (Nate Recknagel), best pitcher (Putnam), best record (42-12) and, of course, the best coach, who had to be the only person in Ann Arbor who believed all this could happen, let alone so quickly.
Did the vision look as perfect as Thursday night when it was just a vision? Could even Maloney have been that optimistic?
"To say we would be six years in and have three Big Ten titles? Really ... honestly ... that's pretty hard to do," Maloney said. "I really felt like someday we could do it, and someday we'd host a regional.
"And you know what? Last year, we would have, but this thing (the stadium) wasn't ready, and we weren't ready as a school. We missed that moment, but - at the same token - we put ourselves in a great position and I really think we're going to get a chance to host this year, and that was part of the journey we dreamed of."
A year ago, the Wolverines upset the No. 1 team in the country in the NCAA Tournament, then had to go to Oregon State, where they were eliminated by the host school and eventual champs.
With almost the whole team back, this entire season has been about building on that success, about getting to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
"The goal ... it's always been Omaha," said Putnam, the Wolverines' ace. "You walk around our locker room, and you'll see it all over the walls. That's where we want to go. As a group, we know that in order to get there, we've gotta win the tournament."
So after Michigan pounded out a 5-2 come-from-behind victory over Illinois on Thursday and Maloney gathered his team in left field, he didn't talk about the good things.
About how Putnam fought his way through some tough patches to stay undefeated.
About Michigan's composure when it trailed or third baseman Adam Abraham's two-run single that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning.
The coach pointed out four mistakes - two runners in scoring position the Wolverines failed to advance, one hesitation on the basepaths that made a play at the plate closer than it should have been, another that cost Michigan an out.
The things you got away with tonight, he quietly warned them, you might not get away with in a big spot against an elite team.
If you want to go to Omaha, you have to be better.
"Reality is, we're trying to shoot for beyond this," he said.
He always has been, of course, shooting for the biggest things college baseball has to offer, even when it was just an unlikely dream.
We know that now, looking back during the last six years.
And having seen so much of that dream come true, it's fun to wonder what the next few weeks might bring for Maloney and his kids.

Crabgrass is a summer annual that germinates when soil temperatures reach a consistent 55 degrees F and is generally killed at the first frost. Crabgrass leaves are rolled in the bud; the first leaf appears short, wide and blunt-tipped. The ligule is tall and membranous with jagged edges, and the auricles are absent. The collar is broad with long hairs. Crabgrass is light green in color, coarse bladed and will root at the nodes when they touch the ground. A single crabgrass plant can produce up to 700 tillers. It is a bunch type grass. The inflorescence is a panicle of branches, with spikelets in two rows. A crabgrass plant can produce 150,000 seeds. Crabgrass needs warm soils and sunlight to germinate. Crabgrass is found throughout the United States.

10: February-March
Do not seed, core aerate or verticut when soil and weather conditions are appropriate for the germination of crabgrass. A slightly raised mowing height may help prevent the establishment of crabgrass by providing shade from sunlight. When crabgrass is going to seed, lower the mowing height and collect clippings to prevent seed establishment.
Use a pre-emergence herbicide as soon as soil temperatures reach 55 degrees F for a period of four days. A pre-emergence herbicide is recommended even if some crabgrass plants have germinated; there will still be crabgrass seed in the soil which can prevent further infestation. Do not core aerate or verticut after a pre-emergence herbicide application. For crabgrass control after germination, use a post-emergence selective grass herbicide.

Host Miramichi on Sunday
The Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers dropped a 5-1 decision to Woodstock on Saturday.
© Jamie Heap – Cumberlandnewsnow.com
Willie MacDonald of the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers is hit by Kraig Pasher of the Woodstock Slammers in MHL action at the Amherst Stadium on Saturday.
AMHERST – The Woodstock Slammers scored three times in the second period to break a 1-1 tie en route to a 5-1 win over the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers in Maritime Junior A Hockey League action in Amherst on Saturday.
William Bower, Kraig Pahser and Brandon Cottrell scored for the Slammers after Serge Boisvert tied the game early in the second period.
Angus Johnston of Woodstock scored the only goal of the first period.
Jake Wright added a third period goal.
"We lost to a skilled hockey team tonight, but there were a couple of things we need to work on," Ramblers' coach Jim Bottomley said after the game. "We need to stay out of the penalty box and we need to find a way to bury those chances when we get them."
The Slammers scored two power play goals in the game.
The loss comes 24 hours after the Ramblers dropped a 3-1 decision in Kentville to the Valley Wildcats on Friday.
Grant Janes, Mike Molloy and Brad Ryckman scored for the Wildcats, while Ryan Caswell scored for Amherst.
The Ramblers return to action on Sunday at 4 p.m. when they host the Miramichi Timberwolves.
"Our biggest problem is trying to put the puck in the net. Through the exhibition schedule and the first two games we don't have the type of guy who can bury the puck on a consistent basis," Bottomley said. "We're going to have to work hard every night and throw a lot of pucks at the net in order to get one."
The Ramblers were without defenceman Ben MacDonald who is out of the lineup for a week with an upper body injury.
Before the game, the club thanked several sponsors for helping the team purchase new uniforms this season.

Stand up to your rival
the war is about to commence
sign a deal with the devil
life is turning around
I will suffice
it's so ironic
I follow me and not the rules
so haunted
it's so hypnotic
time to pay for what they took
a world in mourning
it's so chaotic
the herd is waiting for their doom
lining up in trenches,
to fight for their cause
fight for your cause
this war is a cycle
it plagues the world to its end
raising your gun
pulling the trigger
You feed the liars
let them get to you
you need to cry out
fate is a trial
You're trying to fight for your life
bleeding Bullets fly right by your hide
presses into your body
penetrates your skin , penetrates your soul
Penetrates your soul
Die motherfucker

SUMMIT TWP., MI – For some Jackson College theater students, the show will go on – sort of.
In July, a decision was made by the college not to renew the contract of its only full-time theater instructor and reallocate the position to another department. This means that while theater classes continue, student productions have been canceled.
That hasn't deterred the students in the college's introduction to theater class. At 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9, they will end their semester with a final project in the college's Michael Baughman Theatre.
"There is no set; there are no lights and no full-out production," said Amy Zicafoose, theater instructor. "We are just using the space. This project is coming from the interest of, and a ton of talent, from the students."
To do this project, the class must raise $350 to rent the theater space. To date, it has $208.
"You can rest assured that if we have to raid our penny jars, we will to put on this program," said Brian Harrison, a former JC theater student who's assisting the group. "That's how important this is to everyone."
Harrison commended Cindy Allen, vice president of administration, and Sandra Phelan, special events and community relations coordinator, for working with the students in organizing their end-of-semester project.
"Even though full productions by the theater department were put on hiatus, I'm happy to see we have some innovative and talented theater students who are able to pull off a great project," Allen said.
With its current downturn in enrollment, JC continues to evaluate and monitor all of its programs, including the theater program, Allen said.
Anyone wishing to donate to the theater class project can contact Zicafoose at 914-8619 or Kristal Georgopoulos at 745-2755.

Google announced that Tuesday's I/O developers' conference in San Francisco will get the first look at the company's long-rumored cloud-based service for playing music.
Google Music Beta allows users to upload as many as 20,000 songs to a protected web space (or "locker") and stream the files to any Google device such as Android smartphones or any other Flash-compatible Internet browser. Without Flash, however, that means the service will not function on Apple products like the iPad and iPhone.
Similar to previous Google products like Buzz and Wave, the service is free but early users can only get Music Beta if invited by another user.
The service is virtually identical to Amazon's Cloud Player, which launched in March, but Google Music Beta offers 20 times the amount of space that Amazon does for free accounts. While Amazon does let users download music from their store, Google does not offer any options for downloading files or sharing with friends.
In other words, the only music you can use in Google Music Beta are the files you already own. Users will have to upload their own mp3 files, meaning Google Music Beta depends indirectly on other services such as iTunes and Amazon or other uploading/downloading services for people to add music. Early adopters have said uploading your own files can take several days to complete.
According to Rolling Stone, Google launched its music service without licenses from record labels because it couldn't wait for another six months of negotiations when Amazon already has their product on the market. Without label cooperation, sharing and downloading options are off the table for Google.
"A couple of major labels were not as collaborative and frankly were demanding a set of business terms that were unreasonable and did not allow us to build a product or a business on a sustainable business," Jamie Rosenberg, director of digital content for Android, said.
Consequently, Tech Crunch called Google Music Beta "Apple's ugly sibling." Apple is rumored to working on its own cloud-based music player that will let users stream iTunes libraries on the go. The iPhone-maker is expected to announce the new service at the WWDC Conference in June with full cooperation from major labels.

» Hollywood Reporter: Google music to launch Tuesday - without licenses
» San Francisco Weekly: Google to launch cloud-based music service today, major labels not included

Good thing I got there before 9:30 since by the time firing commenced at 10Am there was a waiting line which was still there when I left after 1PM. Haven't seen that except right before hunting season. Shooting handguns indoors is OK but I was getting itchy to get back into my rifles.

|Re: [CQ-Contest] CQ WPX scores database is great!
|Henk Remijn PA5KT <firstname.lastname@example.com>

All contests publish results online. Within approx. 6 months of the contest. The CQ-magazine sponsored contests were the only for which it is difficult to find the scores.
