SK cruises into post-season
There were three objectives in mind for South Kitsaps regular season-ending game on Friday night against Bremerton: Win, stay healthy and make sure everyone plays.
The Wolves met or exceeded each of its objectives, closing out their schedule with a 41-0 win over the hapless and winless Knights, but also found out just minutes after the game that their plans for a mini-playoff on Tuesday night to decide the order of seeding for the preliminary round of the state playoffs wouldnt be needed.
South and Gig Harbor took care of business Friday night but North Kitsaps 27-10 win over Shelton broke what had been a three-way tie for first place and decided the order of finish in the Narrows League Bridge Division standings without a playoff.
The Tides claimed their second title in three years, while South fell into the No. 2 slot and the Vikings grabbed the third and final postseason position.
South, 6-3 overall and 6-1 in league play, will travel to Snohomish on Saturday at 7 p.m. to face Arlington, the second seed out of the WesCo North Division in a winner-to-state, loser-out game.
Gig Harbor will host a playoff game against Skyview, while North Kitsap heads east to face unbeaten Puyallup.
Had Shelton beaten North, there would have been a mini-playoff on Tuesday night to decide the order of finish, giving the Wolves a second chance at claiming its first division title since 2002.
We had a chance to win, and you dont often get a second chance, South coach D.J. Sigurdson said of the teams earlier 34-31 double-overtime loss to Gig Harbor that would have clinched the title for the Wolves, so its probably just justice. All we needed to do was get two first downs and we win the game, so...
Instead, South will have to settle for a chance to make the Class 4A state playoffs for the first time since 2002. The Wolves 23-year consecutive playoff streak was broken by Mountain View in 2003.
All that aside, the Wolves closed out their regular season on a high note, playing through the rain to post their first shutout since Oct. 24, 2003, a 51-0 win over Port Angeles.
Im happy with the way it went because we planned for the possibility of getting a lot of kids in and we suited up 64, and 64 played, Sigurdson said. And about 58 played a significant amount, which is good.
South used the first three offensive series of the game to work on its hurry-up offense and jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead before the wave of second- and third teamers began making appearances.
Knowing they were in for a short night, the starters wasted little time getting their licks in.
That created a little bit of intensity, a little bit of focus and concentration, Sigurdson said. They didnt get a lot of reps in practice this week.
Chad Fowler carried the ball just six times but racked up 80 yards and scored on a 36-yard run, while quarterback Kyle Pease completed five of six passes for 68 yards and score.
Senior wideout Monte Enyeart caught three balls for 57 yards, including a 19-yard TD, while Tyler Goddard returned a punt 48 yards for a score.
But Friday night belonged to the reserves.
Josh Burlingame made the most of his touches, rushing for 68 yards on three carries, while Stephan Tucker netted 49 yards on three tries, including a 37-yard TD run. Backup QB David Hammrich completed three of seven passes for 63 yards and scored on a 2-yard run.
Defensively, the Wolves kept the Knights in check, allowing just 219 total yards, 165 coming on the ground.
In fact, there were very few mistakes, which was surprising considering the number of players shuffling in and out of both sides of the ball and on special teams.
It was good for them to be as focused as they were to get that done, I was happy, Sigurdson said. Very few mistakes, the one substitution mistake was me. I sent a kid in in the wrong place.

SOUTH HARRISON TWP. — The township committee has approved the first reading of an ordinance that will result in a new walking trail through Stewart Memorial Park.
The committee approved $17,499 from the Parkland Trust, a fund dedicated for park improvements, to go toward the walking trail, which will connect the two sections of the park.
"The walking trail goes from our handicapped parking spots along the baseball fields to the new park and all the way out to the hockey rink," said Mayor James McCall.
Stewart Lake Park's 30 acres almost seem like two separate parks. The older section which houses the baseball fields is not completely connected with the newer section of the park, which has its own parking lot. The trail is aimed at connecting those two sections.
The township committee also hopes that the walking trail will give South Harrison's adult residents a chance for some physical activity while the kids are participating in sports.
"The park has several different uses from an athletic standpoint," said Deputy Mayor Gary Spinner. "But other people might want to utilize it for other uses. It will give residents the opportunity to use the park for another form of exercise or activity."
The second reading and public hearing on the ordinance will be held at the township committee meeting Oct. 12 at 8 p.m.
If it passes, construction on the project will begin as soon as weather permits and will take about a week to complete.

Click KeyPad Watch is the timewasting retro-timepiece you've been waiting forby admin
We do like a good indecipherable timepiece 'round these parts and Click's KeyPad certainly fits the bill. Resembling an old-school mechanical numerical keypad, each button packs an LED — press any number and it'll blink out the time in single digits, so if it was 9:15am, the zero, nine, one and five buttons would flash in sequence. Push the hash key and the watch will oblige you for today's date. If you enjoy frustrating colleagues who ask you for the time, then you'll be delighted to hear that it costs $90 and is shipping now. However, we're not sure we could pull one off — maybe the hipster down the street will have better success.Click KeyPad Watch is the timewasting retro-timepiece you've been waiting for originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 14 Dec 2011 01:41:00 EDT.

Tonight, the Lehigh University men's basketball team saw Fordham for the fifth time already in this young season.
Yet, it was the first time the two programs actually played against each other on the court.
Lehigh assistant coach Stephen Ott was able to scout the Rams in person four times in mid-November as the teams were part of the NIT Season-Tip Off at the University of Pittsburgh and the consolation rounds at Stabler Arena the following week.
All the preparation paid off as the Mountain Hawks cruised to an 81-63 victory in front of 1,351 fans at Stabler Arena.
"If you think about the number of live scouting opportunities we've had, it was remarkable," Lehigh coach Brett Reed said. "Stephen Ott knew everything they were going to do."
What Fordham (1-7) didn't know was that Lehigh All-American senior guard C.J. McCollum would struggle from the field but be picked up by his teammates. McCollum, who leads the nation in scoring at 25.9 points per game, shot 4 for 12 for 13 points but was one of five Lehigh starters to score in double figures.
Junior guard Mackey McKnight led the way with 21 points, senior forwards Gabe Knutson and Holden Greiner added 18 and 13 points, respectively, and junior guard Anthony D'Orazio chipped in with 10 points.
Not only did the starters spread the scoring, but the Mountain Hawks (7-2) had 24 assists (led by D'Orazio's six) on 29 field goals.
"We felt that flow, it felt great," McKnight said while reading the game's stat sheet. "You want that from your starters. We have a sense of unity on the offensive end. If we put it all together, it's tough to guard all of us every night."
"It's nice because we know C.J. can score and will score," Reed said. "It's difficult for people to hold him down, but when others on the team can answer the call and convert baskets that's really critical and will serve us well in the long run."
In a continuation of Saturday's hot-shooting 102-62 win over Fairleigh Dickinson, Lehigh jumped to a 21-9 lead on Greiner's 3-pointer with 12:09 left in the first half. The Mountain Hawks, who led from start to finish, held a 44-24 halftime advantage.
Lehigh's defensive presence paid dividends at the offensive end. The Mountain Hawks scored 22 points off 16 Fordham turnovers and amassed 28 fast-break points.
"That's our game. Once we get stops and get on the open floor, it's hard to stop us," McKnight said. "It's great, especially when we get hands on defense, it gets everybody involved. Once everyone touches the ball it gets us in that flow. With our defense being so prominent, it elevates our game as a team."
Fordham, which was without senior forward Chris Gaston (knee), made a late run to get within 68-59 on Branden Frazier's jumper with 3:55 left.
Lehigh continued to press as McKnight drove the lane and was fouled on consecutive plays. He converted the and-1 and double the Mountain Hawks' lead to 18 (77-59) with 2:19 remaining.
The win was Lehigh's 11th straight at home and 18th in the last 19 games at Stabler Arena.
"We have been fortunate to be effective at home; there's a sense of pride and responsibility to play well at home," Reed said. "It's a natural advantage built into the schedule and we need to capitalize on that. We also want the program to continue to grow in prominence."
"It gets us going," McKnight said of the home crowd. "We usually start games flat and now we start with energy because we see our friends going crazy in the stands. It's rewarding for us. We're thankful for the support this year."

Economic crime today is increasingly complex in nature and international in scope. To combat this threat effectively and bring justice to the victims of fraud and corruption, countries need to work in partnership with their counterparts on the world stage, as well as co-ordinate their activities with agencies closer to home. The purpose of this report is to give board-level readers in the UK and international businesses informed
Mexico has improved, but needs to give greater priority to the criminal enforcement of bribery and ensure that its criminal law enforcement authorities have all the resources and expertise they need to seriously investigate all allegations, according to a new OECD report.
Un nuevo informe de la OCDE señala que México ha logrado avances, pero necesita dar mayor prioridad a la persecución del cohecho y garantizar que sus autoridades de procuración de justicia cuenten con todas las capacidades y recursos necesarios
Korea has improved its information and intelligence gathering capacity in foreign bribery cases, but should be more proactive in investigating allegations, according to a new OECD report.
This Working Group on Bribery consultation with the private sector and civil society will focus on considerations that should be taken into account when performing international business transactions that are subject to anti-bribery legislation in multiple jurisdictions.
How can you be sure the toy you buy your child as a birthday present is safe? That your money is safe in the bank? That the tax you pay is not going to waste? The answer is essentially trust – but what happens when that trust breaks down, and how can you rebuild it?
Openness is one of the key values that guide the OECD vision for a stronger, cleaner, fairer world. This is why the OECD welcomes the launch of the Open Government Partnership today and the efforts led by Presidents Obama and Rousseff to promote government transparency, fight corruption, empower citizens and maximise the potential of new technologies to strengthen accountability and foster participation in public affairs.
"The UK Bribery Act, which came into force on 1 July, is an important step in Britain's efforts to combat bribery. The Act will equip the UK courts with some of the most robust anti-bribery legislation in the world."
Corruption threatens good governance, sustainable economic development, democratic process, and fair business practices. The OECD is a global leader in the fight against corruption with a multidisciplinary approach addressing corruption in business, taxation, development aid and governance.
Luxembourg must step up its efforts to detect and prosecute cases of bribery of foreign public officials, particularly now that its legal framework has been strengthened, in compliance with the Anti-Bribery Convention

Perhaps the most significant change in decades to Harahan's landscape comes before the Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday: the potential resubdivision and rezoning of the former Colonial Golf and Country Club. It's one of the largest green spaces on the east bank of Jefferson Parish.
"It's going to be possibly one of the biggest things to happen in Harahan," said Dwayne Mara, the chairman of the seven-member panel.
The commission, which is appointed by the City Council, could vote to approve, reject or defer a vote on the Aug. 7 application from developer Stirling Properties. Its recommendation would go before the council for a binding vote as early as October.
The application seeks to set off 15 acres at the north end of the former golf course, along Jefferson Highway, and rezone that swath from residential to commercial. The developers propose a retail strip housing a bank, a pharmacy and a "high-end" grocery.
But commercial development on what is now used by residents as an unofficial public park has been a source of controversy. "Harahan likes the community to stay the way it is," Councilwoman Cindy Murray said.
At the same time, City Hall has faced increasing financial pressures, and Mayor Vinny Mosca says increased tax revenue from commercial development would greatly help to dig Harahan out of a deficit.
In the decade or more since the country club began sinking into financial quicksand, the future of its 88 acres has clouded virtually every political debate in Harahan. Proposals have ranged from building condos and to preserving the property as green space. The mayor has sought a way to turn the land into a permanent park. But an application to divide the huge parcel of land into manageable slices, or to rezone a parcel away from residential, has never before reached the Planning and Zoning Commission.
"All the other projects over the last 12 years have been discussions or ideas," said Stephen Villavaso, a land use expert who drafted Harahan's current zoning ordinance and who trains the members of the commission. "Lots of people have talked about this. But this is the first time that someone has actually put in an official request."
Ahead of Wednesday's meeting, businessman John Georges, who bought the course with a partner, sent council members a letter describing his intentions for the rest of the property. "I'm doing whatever they ask me for," Georges said. "The council people wanted some green space; I gave them green space."
He wrote that he will give 18 acres of the course to Harahan to use as green space and will use the back strip, about 250 yards wide near the Mississippi River levee, for the personal use for him and co-owner Wayne Ducote. He wrote that he will seek to find a financial backer to keep an additional 40 acres open as a park, to be kept up by Harahan.
"I don't know what's going on," Georges said. "Everyone says they're for commercial. The confusion is what to do with the rest of the land."
Councilman Eric Chatelain said he was pleased to have a plan for the rest of the land in writing. Murray, however, warned that Georges' plan was described only in a letter and was not legally binding.
"It didn't give me no warm and fuzzies," Murray said. "There is no promise, no consent decree."
The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider two separate issues: subdividing the property and potentially rezoning the front strip for commercial use.
To review a potential subdivision, members evaluate all issues created by setting a parcel of land off from its neighbor, Villavaso said. Those include drainage, sewerage, police protection, fire protection and landscaping. "Can you hook up sewer lines to the two properties?" he said, by way of an example.
Villavaso said subdivision issues are relatively easy to approve or disapprove, as they are based on measurable standards such as engineering studies, drainage studies and distances to the street curb.
He plans to be present to advise the commission, along with Richard Meyer, the engineer whose firm completed a recent drainage study of Harahan and its former golf course.
The commission must also make a separate recommendation for rezoning the land from R1 residential to C1 neighborhood commercial. That's a more complex and emotional issue to consider, Villavaso said.
"Now you are giving this piece of property the ability to change the character of the property, of the neighborhood," he said.
He suggests commission members look at how a re-zoning application fits the long-range vision of the community and meshes with the city's master plan, a guiding document that should be interpreted -- not followed by rote.
Also at play in the deliberation: public opinion. "I anticipate a packed house of people," Mosca said.
"Let me put it this way," Villavaso added. "I have been to a lot of late-night meetings in Harahan. And tomorrow night might be one of them."
Villavaso said commission members are appointed not to represent a pocket of the city or a certain group of homeowners but rather the city as a whole. "It should listen to citizen input. That's the purpose of the public hearing," Villavaso said. "And it should conclude whether it is in the best interest of the city of Harahan."
However, Villavaso said residents who do speak at such meetings typically represent a subset of the community at large.
"The national standard is a lot of people concerned or confused or scared or afraid of a project are the ones who will normally show up," Villavaso said. But commission members, he said, must weigh those comments appropriately. "They have a responsibility to find out if there are two sides of the story."
Mara, the commission chairman, said he considers public opinions in a rezoning but that it can be difficult effectively to weigh the emotional concerns of nearby homeowners. "The hardest thing is hearing from somebody who lives across the street," Mara said. "If I was in their shoes, obviously I wouldn't want to have any commercial development."
Councilwoman Murray, who lives immediately upriver from the proposed retail strip, said most homeowners who have spoken to her are against it. "I want to hear what the people have to say," she said. "This is an enormous task for us."
Mosca urged the commission to consider the broader financial woes of Harahan. "If I can send one message to the members of the planning and zoning board, it is to please concentrate on what's in the best interest for the city's future, as opposed to the temporary opinions of those in closest proximity to the property."
Murray said one of her concerns is how the development affected others' property values.
That's not appropriate, Villavaso said. "Property values are not an aspect of a planning and zoning decision," he said. "Planning is about the betterment of the whole community. This goes back to the roots of zoning and land use regulation ... which is based on protecting the health, safety and welfare of the entire community."
If the commission chooses to make a recommendation either way, and not to defer, it will be introduced to the City Council in late September. Generally, the council votes in accordance with the commission's recommendation.
But they are separate bodies, and in rare instances in the past the council have gone against the recommendations.
"We take it seriously," said Murray, who previously served as a chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. "That's our first line of defense, our first line of response. ... It's my duty to listen to it."
Councilman Tim Baudier said he's ready to proceed.
"I don't want to delay this decision," said Baudier, who feared a deferral could scare off developers and businesses from operating at all in Harahan. "If I was a businessman and wanted to open my business in Harahan, I would say, 'Don't string me along.'"
"At some point, the process needs to start," Georges said. He said that the project would be put at risk if zoning is not approved, as the businesses who would be interested in developing in the strip might move on.
Still, Georges said he is not interested in forcing a quick decision.
"I'm not rushing them," he said. "If I wanted to rush them I'd put a fence around the whole thing tomorrow."
The Planning & Zoning Committee meets in the council chambers of Harahan City Hall at 7:30 p.m., 6437 Jefferson Highway, Harahan, LA.

This week we will receive the recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden's special commission on guns.
I suspect it will have a wide-range of suggestions about gun control, especially after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. But I understand even Biden has admitted probably nothing would have stopped the shooter.With all due respect to the VP, it is very hard to stop an evil madman from doing what he intends to do.

For some strange reason I have asked to "blog" for AGN Media, because I don't even know what a blog is unless it's giving your opinion about something.
This is my third attempt to write something, since I am technologically-challenged. But this version will be shorter than the others I attempted.

This has certainly been a summer for phonies. Lately, the baseball suspensions for PEDs have been the epitome of phoniness.
Even Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers took his suspension, but left the club without a right fielder. GM Jon Daniels was able to get Alex Rios from the White Sox for hardly nothing in return.
Cruz will never be back with Texas. Not after delaying his decision about an appeal and leaving the Rangers very little wiggle room.

Okay, I know it's been a while since my last blog, which was about my view of the 2012 election. I've been licking my wounds since then. However, I do believe in the system and the election was won fair and square by the Democrats on the presidential level and in the U.S. Senate. The U.S. House was retained by the Republicans.
Was there a mandate? Some will say yes for the President and other will say no. I still say there will be gridlock, and maybe that's a good thing, considering the so-called "fiscal cliff" we are fast approaching.

I really liked Chip Chandler's article about J.D. Souther. He's probably one of the least known Amarilloans who made it in show business.
Since I did not grow up in Amarillo, I probably should not attempt to name the famous people from here who made it in showbiz. But since I have lived here 38 1/2 years, and will stay here since I have burial plots, I figure I can try.

I have been watching a show today on HBO titled "Miss You Can Do It," a pageant about girls with special needs. I don't know that I have stopped crying because of the beautiful stories about the girls and their parents. There were families with Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy and other special needs.
I have seen the local Special Olympics athletes, families, and volunteers give their time and love to better the lives of the athletes. These people have my deepest admiration and respect for what they do.

I read with interest the article Monday on the election of four black Democrats in 1986. One of those mentioned was Elisha Demerson, who was elected Potter County Judge. He had been serving as a Potter County Commissioner since 1979.

The final debate between President Obama and Gov. Romney ended last night and now it's time for the voters to decide who will be the next president on Nov. 6th.
Political pundits have had their say about all three presidential debates and the lone vice presidential debate. I'm going to bet that Democrats will say their men won and the Republicans will do the same.

HACKETTSTOWN — A resident was rescued from a smoky apartment here on July 18.
At about 5:26 p.m., police, the Hackettstown Fire Department and the Hackettstown Rescue Squad responded to 56 River's Edge Garden Apartments in reference to a smoke condition, police said. They provided the following account.
When officers arrived at the apartment, they saw black smoke coming from inside. They then determined that there was an occupant still inside the apartment.
The officers couldn't enter the building due to the heavy smoke. Firefighters then arrived and entered the apartment with air packs, then helped the person out of the apartment. The occupant refused medical attention.
A preliminary investigation determined that the fire was caused by cooking food being left unattended on the stove. The apartment sustained some damage and was determined to be uninhabitable. Assisting at the scene was the Hackettstown Detective Bureau, Warren County Fire Marshal, Budd Lake Fire Department, Tri County Fire Company, the Mt Olive Twp Fire Marshal and the Hackettstown Animal Control Officer.

text: I rarely run into problems when reloading. When I read some of the posts I just shake my head and can't imagine why the person is having a problem. Well, I guess my time has come. I have been re-sizing a bunch of once fire .243 brass. The brass is sorted by headstamp. I set up a Lee full length re-sizing die and went at it. I checked the first couple and all was well. After about 50 more I checked the fit and it was all over the place. Some too tight others just fine. There just wasn't any consistency. I attempted to readjust with no good results. Rather than waste time. I am fortunate enough to have a set of Redding dies. I used them and all is well. I don't want this to turn into a Lee products bashing session because I have used many of their products and they have worked well, for me. I have used their rifle dies in 30-06, .223, .308 with no problem. I re-sized all the first batch of inconsistent brass and they now fit fine. All I can think about is why this happened. My set up was my usual that normally works. Any ideas or thoughts about this problem will be appreciated because I am totally baffled. Best wishes and a healthy, happy fourth of July to all.

Jump, climb, and knife your way to victory with the latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, set to release October 29th of this year. In this newest addition, you play as Edward Kenway, a fearsome sea captain who was trained by the Assassin's order. The year is 1715, and pirates run rampant in the Caribbean. Aside from a new scenario and assassin, players can now use an armada of weapons that are new to this game, such as flintlock pistols and dual cutlass swords.
Explore an entirely new world, set in pirate times with over 50 unique locations to explore (and for those of you who are hardcore fans of the series like myself, know that this can and will lead to endless hours of exploration and adventure). Along with vast new locations, players also control Edward Kenway's ship, the Jackdaw, fighting other pirate ships and purchasing upgrades to further enhance the fighting experience. Buy upgrades of ammunition and armor for the Jackdaw, as it is a key point of the game. Kenway's success depends on the success of the ship. A major draw of some of the earlier Assassins Creed games is back, the multiplayer mode.
Experience the lawlessness of real pirate legends such as Blackbeard and Calico Jack in this swashbuckling adventure. Personally, I am very excited for the release of this game. Granted, I am a bit behind in the series and shamefully admit that I've not even played Assassins Creed III. Let's take a look at the series as a whole to see the build-up for this (hopefully) epic fall release.
Assassins Creed
Set in the late 12th century in the Middle East, this first installment featured Altair, the mysterious (and surprisingly American) first assassin we encounter on this grand adventure. Players used relatively basic moves and weapons to start unraveling the mystery of the Apple of Eden. The locations are somewhat limited, but was by all means a very solid introductory game.
Assassins Creed II
Travel 300 years and a few thousand miles to find Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the young, rebellious, and dashing assassin who is the hero for this, and the next two games. Set in 15th century Italy, the weapon and mobility improvements seen in this game were phenomenal. Also featured in this game were the many new upgrades available to the players, such as buildings and outfits. This game was a drastic change from the previous, limited version of the game (but it doesn't mean the first wasn't a classic).
Assassins Creed : Brotherhood
This game was similar to the previous , as it is a continuation of Ezio's story as it relates to the larger assassin order. The major difference between this and the previous games was the introduction of the acclaimed multiplayer.
Assassins Creed : Revelations
Revelations was an interesting twist on the storyline, as it saw a blending of both Altair and Ezio's stories that connect to the present day Desmond. It also expanded the already vast weaponry within the game, as well as gadgets and assassin assistance.
Assassins Creed III
Moving away from the majority-European arena, players control Connor, a half Mohawk, half British man who lived during the American Revolution. The game takes place in the Northeast United States, featuring the beloved open world gameplay as seen in the previous installments. One of the new additions to the game, naval battles, was an interesting and fun change of pace for the series.
Since the first game was released in 2007, fans across the globe have flocked to the fantastic and fun game series by Ubisoft. This game series is one of the most popular of all time, and is certainly a favorite of mine. Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is clearly one of the most highly anticipated games of the year

UA's Advanced Television Production Class, under the guidance of Adam Schwartz, assistant professor of telecommunication and film, produced a 22-minute pilot for "Re-Committed" with a student-run crew and a mostly student cast. The show follows Jamal Anderson (William Mason, a UA student from Birmingham), a young man who returns to high school accompanied by his imaginary friend Bo (Andrew P. Carey, a UA student from Mobile).
Pilot director Marcus Tortorici and director of photography Micah Russell told WVUA they were surprised to see "Re-Committed" be one of only three student submissions selected for the New York festival. Tortorici said their pilot's budget was around $300, but another student submission in the competition cost $12,000 to make.
The pilot was also selected by the 2011 International Television Festival in Los Angeles, which took place Aug. 5-11, and Birmingham's 13th Annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. "Re-Committed" will be screened with local short films at Sidewalk on Saturday, Aug, 27 at 7:20 p.m. at the Hill Event Center next to the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
Rayman Legends successfully recaptures the charm and wit of its predecessor. The traditional 2D platforming may not be for everyone, but fans will get a kick out of it.
Rayman Origins was one of the more imaginative titles to come out on the PlayStation Vita on launch, even though it was not an exclusive but a multiplatform title. That game received praise for its unique visuals and well-tuned 2D platforming gameplay, and the expectation is that the sequel, Rayman Legends, will do the same.
Originally announced as an exclusive for the Wii U, Ubisoft made the welcome decision to bring Rayman Legends to other platforms such as the PlayStation Vita, packing in the same gameplay and presentation to be found in the console version in a handheld package. This is the version we're looking at here.
Rayman Legends harks back to the old days of platforming where the focus was entirely on the gameplay. That means the story is more or less non-existent. All you need to know is that the game world, populated by limbless hero Rayman and his team of Globox pals, is called The Glade of Dreams. The core of the game consists of navigating the themed environments and defeating enemies, as well as collecting Lums and Teensies. The former are blue humanoid characters scattered throughout levels, and are used to unlock new levels in the game. Teensies are small pixels that are gathered to unlock medals, as well as scratch-it cards to unlock in-game bonuses.
Without any story exposition in between levels, you are able to dive in and play one level after the other. As you unlock more new characters, they can be selected and used in levels for a slightly different platforming experience. The look and feel of Rayman Legends is mostly unchanged from the earlier title, which is not such a bad thing considering how fun Rayman Origins was. What the game does have is a more varied and imaginative look to the game worlds, which are overflowing with activity. Bosses have also been upgraded to polygon models, which mesh surprisingly well with the game's 2D presentation.
Some gameplay modes, such as flying levels on a mosquito, have been replaced with other types. One mode, with touch based gameplay reminiscent of Cut the Rope, requires you to remove obstacles as a Globox navigates the level. This mode is well implemented and makes good use of the Vita's touch functionality. When it comes to rescuing certain Lums, the player also has to use the Vita's motion controls to navigate the Globox through a maze-like level. The occasional imprecise nature of the handheld's motion sensor in these levels means that you will have to attempt it more than once.
As a bonus, Ubisoft has included the levels from Rayman Origins into the game, which aid in collecting additional Lums to unlock levels in the main game. Those who have already played Rayman Origins won't find much value in replaying these levels, but it's a nice bonus for those who didn't have a chance to play the first game.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

We've had previous blogs focusing on clients who are not open to advice from professional event planners and consultants. You know the scenario. The event requires 4 hours, the client wants it done in 2. All advice about location, logistics, strategies to underscore core messages and even safety are ignored. At the end of the day, when participants are dissatisfied, the event planners are the ones at the front of the room looking incompetent.
In what can turn into a battle royale about the shape of an event, the "I- card" is eventually played. "I" is for inflexibility. It's ironic. The "I-card" is only ever played by clients who cling to their original vision and toss out every suggestion offered by event planners to design effective events that run more smoothly. Now, just who is being inflexible?
Why is there so much resistance?
Scenario: A designer who has worked with the same client for a number of years hit the nail on the head. "The people I've been working with have retired. I have new set of inexperienced contacts who don't have a clue what they're doing. I have to start from scratch to train them and it's exhausting."
This is also showing up on movie and TV commercial sets. Experienced crew members are being replaced by newcomers to meet very tight budgets and they don't have a clue how to work with talent.
There is nothing wrong with being inexperienced. We all had to get our start in life somewhere. It's great to have passion and a vision and to want to make one's mark. However, when you're just starting out, wouldn't it be prudent to take advantage of the wealth of experience from those around you? After all, an important part of their job is to make you look good.
Let's dig deeper. I don't blame the people who are just starting out for this situation. They are being promoted quickly to replace retiring baby boomers and moved into positions without adequate training. (A lot of companies have scrapped management training programs or replaced them with e-learning that hardly the appropriate vehicle for teaching leadership and "people" skills. Some of them are struggling to please hard driving executives who seem to change their minds as often as they change their shirts. It's a tough situation.
What does this have to do with integrity?
Let's face it. It's been a tough economy. Jobs are hard to come by and sometimes harder to keep. Faced with these dynamics, some employees just say "Whatever!" It takes guts and a ton of integrity to tell the emperor he has no clothes or CEOs that their plans are flawed.
Some event planners just throw up their hands and do whatever it takes to hang on to the business. As I recently told a North American client:
"Some consultants and meeting planners will take your money, smile and say yes to everything you request but my clients deserve much better than that."
Is it better to have the integrity to speak up when you perceive missed opportunities or a flaw in a proposed course of action? At some point you will be labeled inflexible. What's the alternative? It's safer to just go with the flow, collect your fee and give the client whatever they request. It's a tough call but we all face with hard choices.
What is integrity? According to Oxford Dictionary, it is:
- the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
- the state of being whole and undivided
- the condition of being sound in construction
- lack of corruption
Going along with an unsound plan just to collect your fee or pay cheek would be displaying a lack of integrity.
I'm sure you've guessed already that my vote is for integrity.

It worries me when I hear folks, mostly liberals, speak fondly of the 1950s economy and its 90 percent marginal tax rates. In this piece, James Surowiecki advocates soaking the super-rich:
James Pethokoukis
Kudlow: WH dismissive of business complaints
From the Great One, Larry Kudlow:
Then there's the confidence-threatening war between business and the White House, which is also related to the liberal tax revolt. It's still a battle royale between the nation's business leaders and the administration over taxes, spending, regulation, and trade.
Bernanke right, Geithner wrong on Bush tax cuts
Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, doesn't want tax rates to reset higher at the end of this year, even for the rich. The White House and the Treasury think differently. Here's how an off-the-record Bernanke might try to talk Tim Geithner, the Treasury secretary, around to his point of view.
Just how high would taxes need to go?
To reiterate, higher taxes are not the answer to deficit problem (via the Tax Foundation):
Kudlow: Time for a tax cut
Larry Kudlow thinks it's time for Team Obama to consider a different path:
Fred Smith, the CEO of FedEx, does not have a Nobel Prize in economics. But he founded from scratch a gigantic global transportation and delivery company that has employed tens and tens of thousands of workers, something the Nobelists have never done. And Smith argues that the best job-creating measure would be a significant reduction in the corporate tax rate and a move to full expensing for business-investment tax write-offs. He's exactly right.
US ready may become world's highest corporate taxer
The US has the second highest corporate tax rate among advanced economies. But maybe not for long. Tell the people the bad news, Reuters:
Back to recession in 2011? (Even kind of rhymes)
Tax-cut guru Arthur Laffer worries about next year. He attributes the economic rebound this year to workers and business pulling forward economic activity into 2010 to avoid more taxes and regulation in 2011. As he puts it in the WSJ today:
Here comes the iPad tax
It's almost as dodgy a notion as nuking BP's gusher. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is mulling ways to subsidize the flailing news industry. Paying for it could involve head-scratchers like taxing iPad sales. What the media industry needs is innovation not intervention.
Where Barry Ritholtz questions my tax analysis
Superblogger Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture takes issue with my claim that America's wealthy have a high tax burden since they pay such a huge share of U.S. taxes. A bit from his email to me (in his own inimitable style):
Hillary's revealing tax gaffe
Who really cares what Hillary Clinton thinks about taxes, right? She's Secretary of State in the Obama administration, not Treasury. It's not as if Timothy Geithner said the following, as Clinton did last week:

The Bessemer City Council voted Tuesday to give the Bessemer Area Chamber of Commerce $75,000 in funding for the period from Oct. 1, 2012 to Sept. 30, 2013.
This is an increase in the approximate $49,000 in annual funding the chamber has received from the city recently.
The resolution passed as part of the council's consent agenda.
"The main reason we are asking for the increase is to help purchase maps, promotional items, redo a sign on the interstate, some things like that we have not been able to do for the last several years," said chamber President Ronnie Acker at a Dec. 11 pre-council meeting.
Acker said that city funding helps pay to send personnel to promote the city at tourism meetings around the state.
He said new funding could help the creation of a new, updated Bessemer map for visitors.
According to Acker, the city was giving the chamber over $100,000 per year, before the advent of tough economic times.
"With the city in the condition it was in, we could understand that, so we tried to live with that," he said. "We've gone into what little funds we had for rainy days, and the rainy day funds are gone."
"We've discussed this at length," said Mayor Kenneth Gulley at the December meeting."We discussed this during the budgetary period. The funds requested are now outside the scope of what we have in the budget."
In other business at the relatively brief meeting Tuesday, the council voted to approve four other expenditures (also a part of the consent agenda).
The council approved three invoices, at a total of about $26,000, for Skipper Consulting Inc., a traffic engineering firm in Birmingham. Skipper is providing design services for an upgrade of the traffic signals on 18th and 19th streets in Bessemer.
The next meeting of the city council is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Even though the Canadians have been around for quite a while, I never really paid a whole lot of attention to them, but when the promo of their fifth album "Long Live Heavy Metal" surfaced, I decided to give it a spin and it would be a (digital) spin that would change my perception of this quintet!
Like said, my reference points to their previous efforts are slim, but they seem to have taken on an even stronger Heavy/Power Metal list, with the harsh vocals strongly diminished compared to before, an element that on the one hand was somewhat original for their style, but at the same time kind of distracted (at least me) from the solid steel underneath.
The strong connection with the roots of Heavy Metal does not only come through in the album title, but also in some of the song titles that some may deem horribly cliché, such as "Metal Woman", "My Sword Will Not Sleep" or "Leather Lord", but I think that it is exactly this kind of overblown Metal-ness that 3IOB are gunning for.
Good parts of "Long Live Heavy Metal" are upbeat and are driven forward by heavy guitars, a tight rhythm section and Cam Pipes' shrieky "love them or hate them" vocals that once more will successfully split the listeners. And with the exception of the two instrumentals "Chief And The Blade" and "One For The Ditch", 3 INCHES OF BLOOD will take you on a steel-infused power wide that you will not that easily forget, with urgent "My Sword Will Not Sleep" leading into the power-fueled "Leather Lord", some of the closest Metal has come to "Painkiller" in the last couple of years. This and the fact that "Dark Messenger" has this KING DIAMOND vibe swinging with it in the falsetto vocals and "Look Out" is an up-tempo homage to the late Ronnie James Dio should not lead you down the road of thinking that the Canadians have gone cover band on us, rather do they wear their influences openly on their sleeves and still make sure that it's clear that what you're listening to is 3IOB and no one else.
Even after the first listen I had not been able to shake the chorus of my personal favourite "4000 Torches" from my brain anymore, so combining heaviness with immense catchiness is not an issue here either, neither is a more epic note in "Storming Juno", taking inspiration from the invasion of Juno Beach in World War II.
Crowned by a powerful and clear production courtesy of Sho Murray and the band itself, "Long Live Heavy Metal" lives up to its title and should thoroughly please all connoisseurs of finely sharpened, traditional steel, definitely a highlight of 2012 already!

On the horizon: More mhealth solutions for Kenya's poor
This post was authored by Ben Bellows and Jared Stamm of the Population Council.
Mobile phone use in Africa is growing fast, from 16 million handsets in use in 2000 to 246 million in 2008 and more than 500 million by early 2013. In Kenya, 78% of households have mobile phones. In spite of these high numbers, there is still concern that mobile interventions are failing to reach the most in need. We believe this will become less of an issue as mobile phone use continues to rise.
The Population Council's voucher survey data reflect a growing uptake of phones in poor households, and a substantial increase in the use of mobile phones between 2010 and 2012 among the voucher-eligible population (you can learn more about our study here and initial findings here). And according to another recent study in Kenya among people who have a mobile phone and make less than $2.50 per day, there is high demand for telecom services—low-income consumers will forgo spending on some necessities in order to buy airtime—and growing interest in receiving health information via mobile devices.
That's good news for programs like Baby Monitor, a screening tool being tested by the Population Council and Duke University among pregnant women and new mothers in rural and remote areas of Kenya—places where a mobile signal is more likely to reach them than a skilled birth attendant or community health worker.
Baby Monitor brings low-cost clinical assessment directly to mothers and their infants through their mobile phones. With Baby Monitor, women sign up to get phone calls 90, 60, and 30 days before their due date, and on days 1, 3, 7, and 10 after birth—the most critical days for a new baby and a new mother.
Using interactive voice-response (IVR) technology, women listen to a free phone call and respond by key press to a series of pre-recorded, algorithm-selected questions that screen for potential physical and mental health issues. The cloud-based, highly scalable program automatically flags cases that warrant additional follow-up and then sends information, makes referrals, and/or dispatches community health workers.
Early analyses of Baby Monitor indicate that it's better than nurses at detecting higher probable levels of depression, possibly because women feel less stigma answering recorded questions by phone.
Programs like these hold a lot of promise for the poorest women in the poorest communities. Next stages could be coordinating transport to facility referrals; sharing screening data with receiving facilities to speed intake; beginning the process of providing informed choice for preventive care like family planning methods; helping patients adhere to treatment for HIV or tuberculosis; and, in the case of reproductive health vouchers, distributing credits by mobile phone that could pay for health care or transport services.
With mobile phone penetration increasing in developing countries and among the poorest, we have an opportunity to create lasting change in the way valuable health services are delivered. Programs like Baby Monitor may provide the blueprint for developing additional effective mhealth programs or improving current programs like the reproductive health voucher program in Kenya.
Harnessing the power of mobile phones to improve health will be a challenge, but with strategic investment, collaboration between public health researchers and technology developers, and a focus on creating mhealth applications that are easy to use and available to the most vulnerable, we can make great strides in improving health and saving lives.
(Listen to an interview Ben did with Smart Monkey TV on the potential of mhealth to create greater efficiencies in the delivery of reproductive health vouchers.)

The Pilgrim Society originated in 1820 when a group
of Plymouth residents and others interested in the Pilgrims organized to oversee a
celebration of the bicentennial of the landing at Plymouth. In 1824 they engaged Alexander
Parris, later the architect of the Quincy Market in Boston, to design Pilgrim Hall as a
museum. Pilgrim Hall, built of granite in the Greek Revival Style, is the oldest museum in
continuous service in the United States.
The exhibits are the finest collection of Pilgrim possessions anywhere and an excellent
source for early American decorative arts. The "Great Chairs" of Governor Carver
and Elder Brewster are as important to collectors of furniture as to historians. Here also
are the chairs of Governor Bradford and Winslow; Myles Standish's sword and razor; the
cradle of Perigrine White, born on the Mayflower in Provincetown Harbor; some of the books
printed in Leyden by Elder Brewster; and a portrait of Edward Winslow, the only known
likeness of a Pilgrim. The remains of the Sparrow-Hawk, the only existing example of the
ships that explored and colonized New England, are also on exhibit. An important
collection of Native American artifacts from the area dates back as far as 8000 years. In
the Lower Hall decorative arts demonstrate the dynamic development of the colony in its
first century.
The Pilgrim Hall Library, open to the public on request, contains rare seventeenth and
eighteenth century volumes including several of the earliest Bibles printed in English.
There are also many documents and maps relating to later Plymouth history and a large
collection of works on Plymouth and New England history.
Three of the objects in this picture are the Fuller Cradle, Portrait of Governor Edward
Winslow and the Brewster Chair.
The PIERCE PATENT
When the Pilgrims left England in 1620, they had a patent which granted them permission
to settle in Virginia. When they landed at Cape Cod, they found themselves in territory
where this patent was no longer valid. The Mayflower Compact, signed on the Mayflower
in November of 1620, was an internal constitution which could serve until they
received another patent.
The Pierce Patent of 1621 replaced the 1620 Virginia Patent. John Pierce, one of the
Merchant Adventurers, secured it from the Council for New England in London. The patent
gave the Mayflower colonists permission to settle in New England. The patent
is the oldest extant state document in New England.
The helmet and breastplate, (1600-1650) were made in England and descended in the
Thompson family. This is the type that would have come over on the Mayflower. The book Arms
& Armor of the Pilgrims is an excellent source of information on this subject.
The sword is 17th century, is attributed to William Brewster and is on loan to the
museum from the Massachusetts Historical Society.
The Standish Rapier(sword) was from Solingen, Germany circa 1600-1620. Myles
Standish obtained this sword while he was serving as a mercenary in the Low Countries.
Deep concave grooves, unsharpened edges and a pronounced point reinforce the flat ovoid
blade. The blade is rigid, intended for thrusting. It bears the makers name. The cup is
decorative, embellished with foliage and bearded faces like those found on bottles and
jugs made in the Rhine Valley. The length of the weapon is significant. 35 3/16 inches.
Six inches shorter than the standard, compensating for Standish's modest stature.
The Matchlock Musket is Italian, possibly from Brescia near Milan and is circa 1600.
This gun dates from the Pequot War era of 1637, shortly before Matchlock Muskets were
removed from the colonial arsenal.
The early settlers used the matchlock gun, a standard firearm in Europe since the 15th
century, although the piece was heavy, dangerous and inefficient. In 1645 the Plymouth
General Court allowed only Snaphances as town arms. The Matchlock continued, though, to be
used until 1677 when they became unacceptable for military use.
In 1626, this small vessel brought 25 passengers and their possessions from Europe to
America. Bound for Virginia, they landed at Cape Cod in distress after the hardships of a
stormy voyage of six weeks. The details of the shipwreck can be found in Bradford's Of
Plimouth Plantation. Guided to Plymouth by Cape Cod natives, two survivors told
their sad story to Governor Bradford, who immediately sent a shallop to rescue the
passengers and crew. The Pilgrims provided food and shelter for the castaways for nine
months, at which time two barks heading for Virginia gave them transport.
The Sparrow-Hawk is the only surviving remains of a 17th century trans-Atlantic vessel.
These original timbers exemplify the small, sturdy ships vital to the colonization of
America. Their size is evidence of the courage of those who undertook the journey to the
new World. The Sparrow-Hawk, about 36 tons and 40 feet in length, was typical of 17th
century vessels. The Mayflower, 180 tons was one of the largest. The Fortue which came in
1621 was only 50 tons.
After being wrecked in 1626, the Sparrow-Hawk was buried in sand and mud in a part of
Orleans later known as "Old Ship Harbor". The timbers were visible from time to
time until 1862, when they were uncovered in a great storm. The ancient hull was removed
and reassembled. After exhibitions in many cities, it was presented to the Pilgrim Society
in 1889 and has been on view in Pilgrim Hall since then.

Lots of people might look at the fullback spot on a football team and feel a little sorry for the poor soul in that position. Lots of dirty work, very little glory.
LSU senior fullback J.C. Copeland sees things much differently.
Instead, the Tigers human road grader sees a lot of purity in the job he fulfills in the backfield.
"To me it's just natural to go in there headfirst and hit somebody and give our running backs holes to run through," he said.
"It's kind of what football is all about really."
Kinda what you might expect from someone who has turned out to be as dominant off-the-radar player as LSU has right now.
Copeland enters his second season as the full-time fullback, but he said it's a role he has probably been destined to fill for a long time. It just took a while - and the right impression made on a coach - to facilitate the metamorphosis.
As a prep star in LaGrange, Ga., Copeland had his sights set on the defensive side of the ball. Easy to understand, considering he registered a whopping 27 sacks as a defensive end at Troup County High in 2009.
"I thought I was going to be a defensive tackle when I got here," Copeland said. "I played a little fullback in high school in a package of all the best players we had on our team.
"But I thought I was way too big to play anything but on the line."
That size -- Copeland is generously listed at 6-foot-1 and has hovered in the 270-75 pound range most of his career, with a few flirtations with the 300-pound mark -- did seem to make him a perfect fit in John Chavis' defensive scheme as an interior lineman.
Same can be said about Copeland's strength, which remains an attention-getter to the teammates who have to contend with him in practice."He's got so much power," linebacker Lamin Barrow said. "His legs, his leverage -- he's not the tallest guy, but you feel it when he hits you."
Maybe that's what LSU offensive line coach Greg Studrawa realized in pre-season camp in 2010 when an idea struck him.
After watching his offensive linemen try to neutralize a young and surprisingly nimble and athletic Copeland, Studrawa walked up to the young DT and made a suggestion.
"He asked me if I'd ever played fullback," Copeland said. "The next day I was in the running backs room."
The transition took some time and had some growing pains, especially as Copeland learned to manage his weight more like a back than a big ugly.
Gradually, Copeland emerged as the primary backup to James Stampley at fullback and in 2011 he played a bigger role with a handful of starts.
Along the way, Copeland became a practice legend of sorts in the 'Big cat' drill, which features one player from each side of the ball squaring off in a raw one-on-one battle as the rest of the team watches.
"He's a force in that 'Big cat' drill," said Barrow, regarded as the Tigers' current hardest hitter on defense.
"The first couple of years, we were going head-to-head every day it seemed like, and it was usually a stalemate. He just kept getting more powerful and powerful and now he usually gets me."
Added junior left tackle La'El Collins, "I love seeing him go in the 'Big Cat,' and in games, too - just hitting people and punishing them and the next play going right back at them and see those guys back on their heels. It's amazing to see that guy just explode on people."
As Copeland grew up and carved a spot as a starter, he embraced the fullback's simple role in the LSU offense.
With a bevy of talented ball carriers, many of them big enough to play fullback themselves, Copeland has endeared himself to his backfield mates with a cut-and-dried mantra.
"My main job is giving these running backs room to run free," Copeland said.
It's not only the backs who benefit from Copeland's tenacity as a blocker. In a way, he has developed into an extra offensive lineman in LSU's power running attack.
"We know if we hold up our blocks, J.C. is coming behind us full speed and cleaning up anything else," Collins said. "You better get out of his way."
When Copeland stepped in as the starter last season, he added another skill to his resume: Offensive threat.
There were a pair of gratuitous goal-line rushing attempts in 2011, but those seemed more show than anything else.
Last season, though, Copeland got the ball 21 times on handoffs -- scoring four touchdowns -- and also snared three passes. With longtime NFL veteran Cam Cameron installed as the offensive coordinator last spring, it's conceivable that the fullback could be incorporated more into a game plan.
Which has Copeland licking his chops.
"I'm loving it," Copeland said. "I can't wait for the opportunity to carry the ball for my team and help us win games.
"Our backs already do a lot of damage already as it is. I'd just like to add to it."
Even before Cameron came aboard, Copeland said Les Miles - an unabashed fan of the fullback spot - made a conscious effort to get Copeland involved.
That's not only music to Copeland's ears. His running back mates also get jazzed whenever they know Copeland's number has been called.
"We get real excited and he gets real excited, which fires us up," junior tailback Kenny Hilliard said. "We have to calm him down so he doesn't lose the ball.
"He puts his body on the line for us every day, so it's great when he gets a chance to do something with the ball in his hands."
And Copeland with the ball is not just a token carry here or there.
With his size and power, Copeland is a legitimate short-yardage and goal-line option. And because of his athleticism, Copeland can also do damage when he catches passes in the flat - he turned one of his receptions into a 42-yard rumble against Alabama last season.
"He makes some nice plays when he gets that ball in his hands," Barrow said. "He's a big guy, but he's kind of shifty when he gets past the line of scrimmage."
Make no mistake, though: The first item on his job description is crystal-clear to Copeland and his teammates.
"I mean, just look at him," Hilliard said with a chuckle. "He's got size on him, and he's strong. He's a big bruiser. That's the type of fullbacks we like here. He gets the job done. It's great to have J.C. in front of us."
Maybe not so great to be on the other side, but Copeland does serve a purpose for the Tigers' defense in practice as well.
"When J.C. comes out of the backfield, it's kind of like a competition between us," middle linebacker Lamar Louis said. "We want to see who can lay the biggest hit. I get a thrill when I'm ready to take him on. If I can hit J.C. and knock him back, then I know I'm ready for a game."**************

Morgan MacNeill was named player of the game after scoring three goals in 18 seconds to help his North River West Masonry Flames win a midget A hockey game Saturday in New Brunswick.
North River midget A hockey player scores three goals in 18 seconds
Morgan MacNeill was sizzling on Saturday.
The North River West Masonry Flames' forward scored three goals in 18 seconds midway through the third period of a midget A hockey game in Stanley, N.B.
"Everyone was just screaming," MacNeill said, recounting the moments after the third goal. "I was so happy."
The Flames needed to defeat Sunny Brook, N.B., to advance to the playoffs. They were leading 4-2 when MacNeill took over.
Receiving a pass from Chandler Leard, MacNeill waited for a defenceman to slide past him and fired the puck top corner at 10:06.
MacNeill didn't wait long to tally No. 2, scoring moments after the ensuing faceoff.
"I went up to the blue-line (took a) slapshot and it went in the exact same spot," the 18-year-old from Cornwall explained.
"I was pretty pumped and so was everybody else," MacNeill said of the unassisted marker at 9:58. "Our centreman was like, 'We're getting you another one, let's go.'"
MacNeill didn't disappoint.
He took a pass from defenceman Alex Clarkin, walked into the offensive zone and fired another shot shelf at 9:48 to complete the trifecta.
"I didn't even know I scored that quickly until our coach was like that was 18 seconds," MacNeill explained. "I couldn't believe it."
The remarkable feat almost didn't happen.
Coach Garry Muttart said there was a lot of excitement after the second goal.
"'Wouldn't it be something if he scored three?' " he remembered saying to an assistant coach. "But I said that would be impossible in one shift."
He even thought about changing lines with the Flames leading 6-2.
"I'll give him another chance," Muttart decided. "Sure enough he didn't let us down."
The Flames went on to win the game and the Jason Hurley Memorial Tournament.
"Everything he shot seemed to go in," Muttart said. "It was great for him and for our team. . . We're very proud of him."
Hockey P.E.I. does not have records for fastest three goals. The NHL record is 21 seconds, set by Bill Mosienko on March 23, 1952.
MacNeill has been playing hockey for 15 years and spent about the majority of the time as a defenceman. He once scored six goals in a game while playing novice.
The Flames play Saturday in Alberton. What does MacNeill do for an encore?
"Go 15 seconds I guess," he laughed.
Morgan MacNeill
Sport – Hockey.
Team – North River West Masonry Midget A Flames
Age – 18.
Hometown – Cornwall.
What's up? MacNeill scored three goals in 18 seconds during a tournament in Stanley, N.B., north of Fredericton, on Saturday.
Quote – "I think in any league, or at any level, to be able to get three goals in 18 seconds is quite a feat."
Flames coach Garry Muttart
Fastest three goals in NHL history – Bill Mosienko, 21 seconds on March 23, 1952. The Chicago right-winger scored at 6:09, 6:20 and 6:30 of the third period in a 7-6 win against the New York Rangers. Montreal's Jean Beliveau is second at 44 seconds.

Dancers from Tonali perform a traditional Aztec dance on the mandala Oct. 15 during Ojai Day.
Andra Belknap, Ojai Valley News reporter
Ojai Day attracted as many as 20,000 people downtown Oct. 15, according to event organizer Amber Young. "We had a great turnout," she said, "it was really lovely."
The festivities began 9 p.m. Oct. 14 when River Sauvageau and her fellow "Mandala Mavens," as they call themselves, began the six-hour process of painting the event's annual mandala at Ojai Avenue and Signal Street
This year, a volunteer cellist accompanied the painters, said Sauvageau.
"The cello music was so perfect," she said, noting that a crowd of nearly 100 joined the artists, "it was our smoothest painting event yet!"
The next day, the mandala artists gathered once again on their freshly-painted artwork, which contained images symbolic of the community's ongoing drought.

Demolition has resumed at the Petrochem Refinery, north of Ventura just off Highway 33.
"They got the last round of testing and remediation with the EPA completed and started back to work again last week," Chris Stephens said Oct. 17. "So unless something unexpected is found, it should be down in about two weeks."

The Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts is delighted to present The Maurice River School Exhibition beginning on Third Friday, July 19.
The Maurice River School is a collection of painters whose main focus is to paint sites along the Maurice River valley.
This includes the Delaware Bay and the tributaries of the Maurice River and marsh lands of the surrounding countryside in Southern New Jersey.
The founding inspiration of The Maurice River School comes from the teachings of Patricia Vanaman Witt.
Pat, as she is known, has made a life's career of painting the marsh lands of southern New Jersey and the atmospheric conditions that occur in that environment.
Pat captures the phenomena of sun light and humidity as set against the low horizon line of South Jersey.
Her goal has been to paint the essence of color and light in the landscape.
She works with a prismatic palette of colors with the addition of white.
The Maurice River School Exhibit will draw works from painters who have studied with Pat Witt for a number of years at The Burcham Farm and painters who have participated in The Maurice River School Intensive Landscape Painting course for the last several years.
An Exhibit of The Maurice River School will include the following painters:
Pat Witt
Patrick Connors
Mary Ann Kline
Nancy Mulick
Ruth Formica
Ramon Perez
Larry Francis
Bill Ternay
Jill Rupinski
Mark Giberson
Liz Regan
Tricia Dufford
Donna Pio
Dorothy Stockmar
Helene Condouris
Betsy Miraglia
Bob Corson
Diane Stauss
Kathy Byrnes
Joan Cordner
Debbie and Mike Placko.
All works will be framed, ready for hanging and for sale and will be of top professional quality.
