Bon-Ton December Comps Hit by Bad Weather
Posted on January 13, 2014 by
YORK, Pa.-Bon-Ton Stores said its December same-store sales were "significantly impacted" by rough winter weather in its markets.
The retailer did not say how much sales were affected, but Brendan Hoffman, president and CEO, said, "We are disappointed with the deceleration in sales during December, particularly given the strong start to the holiday season beginning with Black Friday and extending through the early part of the month." Hoffman added that the adverse weather and "treacherous" travel conditions sharply reduced traffic and hampered promotional events on key weekend selling dates leading up to, and continuing after, Christmas.
Keith Plowman, Bon-Ton's executive vice president and chief financial officer, said the company now expects same-store sales for all of fiscal 2013 to be down about 3.5 percent. Bon-Ton will report its results for the fiscal year, which will end on Feb. 1, in early March.

Donations of Horses or Ponies
Hoofbeats periodically requires additions to its equine herd, and at such times welcomes donations of suitable horses or ponies. Anyone desirous of donating a horse should contact the Hoofbeats office and ask to speak with the Program Director, who will clarify Hoofbeats' current equine needs.
Generally speaking, therapy horses must be reasonably sound at the walk, trot, and canter. They should be people-oriented, very gentle, "bombproof", with excellent ground manners, and be relatively "easy-keepers". They should be able to stay sound in turnouts with uneven terrain and little grass. The horses most likely to succeed as therapy horses are those that have been ridden by many different riders, and who capably tolerate a wide variety of rider behaviors and skill levels. Ideally they should have some show and travel experience, and some training in lower level dressage.
It is very important that you read carefully the Hoofbeats Horse Donation/Loan Information document. Make sure you completely understand the process and all requirements. Do not hesitate to contact the Hoofbeats office with any questions or concerns.
To initiate the donation process you must fill out and submit to Hoofbeats the following two forms (click each for a downloadable copy you can print.)
1. Horse Donation/Loan Application
Note: all donated horses are "on loan" until accepted into the program after the trial period. Be sure you understand that all horses or ponies offered for donation will be screened by the Program Director, and are taken into the program on a 90-day trial basis. An owner must be prepared at any time during the trial period to reclaim a horse that shows itself to be unsuitable or unable to meet Hoofbeats needs.
Please contact our office if you have questions by calling 540-464-3337.

With a large number of small plates on the menu, it's easy to sample a bit of everything. You can't go wrong with an oval-shaped gourmet pizza, a generous pasta dish or an oh-so-fresh caprese salad. No matter what you order for your main meal, begin with a Braised Veal Meatball. The oversized, tender sphere will be one of the best things you've ever tasted.

Tip of the Week Thursday: Using Equation Editor 3.0 0
Here's a question I get a lot: "I have Equation Editor 3.0 in my version of Word and I used it. Why am I getting the comment that I am not using it properly?"
The answer to this query lies in the fact that there is a difference between "Insert Equation" in Word and "Insert Equation Editor" object. Lots of people don't know that, which is why I'm here with the weekly tip!
This is NOT what you should be doing:
Rather, use Equation Editor this way:
First, go to "Insert" on the Task Ribbon.
Second, choose Object. Once you're in that window, choose "Microsoft Equation 3.0"
Hit "OK" and then you're good to go.

Jay and I share a love of cooking. We like to cook together… on occasion, but tend to kick each other out of the kitchen so as to not giveaway any "trade secrets" that we each have. Actually, I am just a super freak about how things should be cooked and it drives Jay crazy, so he opts to leave me to it for fear of being yelled at (or corrected).
We have recently been introduced to a new cooking style that we can both agree on: the AquaChef Professional Water Oven.
I was a little skeptical about the AquaChef at first and didn't see how food cooked in a water bath would taste very good. All that I could picture was the equivalent of boiling steak (like the boiled hot dogs my aunt used to make) and that couldn't have been farther from how you actually cook with the AquaChef.
How would you like to make delicious, healthy and mouthwatering meals perfectly cooked every time hot and ready when you are? Now you can! Introducing the AquaChef − the revolutionary kitchen appliance that's the easy and foolproof way to cook at home! With the AquaChef, you can now prepare nutritious, gourmet meals in no time at all without all the fats and oils. You can even cook from frozen without defrosting. And all with virtually no cleanup! The AquaChef is so versatile, you can make pretty much anything in it from eggs to steak − even cheesecake! With the AquaChef you can enjoy healthy, delicious, home-cooked meals every time!
I have never cooked, or eaten, any food made this way before, and I was very impressed with the outcome. I have been eating grass-fed beef, and while it has great flavor, it has very little fat making it very hard to cook perfectly, and prone to come out a little tough. I decided to give it a try in the AquaChef, and found the entire process to be easy … and most importantly, it cooked my steak perfectly!
The AquaChef comes with reusable vacuum bags that you place and cook your food. I decided to put my steak in a bag with lots of fresh rosemary and some fresh garlic. It was easy and quick to seal the bag, and in what seemed like no time (with very little effort on my part) my steak was done.
I got to relax for once while cooking dinner because the AquaChef does all the work. You just preheat the water, throw your ingredients in the bag, suck out the air, and pop it in the water. It's quiet, doesn't take up much more counter space then a toaster oven, and lets any level cook create moist, perfectly cooked food. There is also a great recipe book that comes with the AquaChef unit – it has some really good looking recipes and also contains cooking times for most meats you will want to make in there.
I was really impressed that you can also make desserts in the AquaChef! I haven't had a chance to make one yet, but it is on the agenda once we get settled in the new house.
I am excited to keep experimenting with the AquaChef, and I am hopeful that it will continue to make my cooking life easier!

History of the Peace Corps in Ukraine
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
The opening of Peace Corps programs in the Newly Independent States corresponded with the beginning of the end of decades of mistrust and hostility between the United States and the former communist governments in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. In the decade that Peace Corps Volunteers have worked in Ukraine, they and their Ukrainian counterparts have faced and overcome a wide range of challenges. Suspicions harbored for years are difficult to overcome. Ambiguity and economic instability have been the norm in Ukraine during the difficult transition to integration with the West. Working and living in a country that is simultaneously deconstructing and reconstructing can often be confusing and frustrating. The Peace Corps has always prided itself on its ability to provide flexible and adaptable Volunteers, and the program in Ukraine truly tests this ability.
The formal agreement establishing Peace Corps/Ukraine was signed in May 1992 in Washington, D.C., by former Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk and former U.S. President George Bush. Since the first group of Volunteers arrived in Ukraine in 1992, more than 1,000 Volunteers have worked in three project areas: business development, teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), and environmental protection. Currently, more than 300 Volunteers work in more than 100 cities and towns throughout the country's 24 provinces and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Peace Corps Future in Ukraine
The first group of volunteers arrived in Kyiv, "City of Lights", on November 15, 1992. The group consisted of 53 Business Development trainees. After a rigorous training, 48 volunteers entered service in January, 1993. Antics ensured.
The community economic development project, launched in 2006, addresses two realities within the context of development in Ukraine. First, Ukraine currently possesses incomplete institutional structures, such as widespread private ownership or a sound banking system, to support the process of economic transition. Second, there is no collective memory of a free-market system and civil society within the society. The community economic development project seeks to establish cooperation and partnerships among three sectors of society: business, government, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to strengthen their common development work. This includes facilitation and transfer of free-market professional skills as well as citizenship skills at multiple levels. Volunteers provide assistance to institutions, including schools and universities; to NGOs; and to government structures at regional and municipal levels. Volunteers in this project have primary assignments as educators or facilitators. Many of the Volunteers working with NGOs work at a grassroot level building stronger participation and initiative among local people to address common community needs. Approximately one quarter of community economic development Volunteers are placed in educational institutions; they are not placed with private businesses, but some may be placed at business centers that provide consulting and training to a variety of people wanting to start or expand small businesses. Volunteers placed at governmental institutions work on initiating new projects that target community growth on a local level in the areas of social and economic development.
Ukraine has a long history of valuing education for its citizens, and the study of languages has been an integral component of the national curriculum. Throughout the history of conquests and various rulers, the citizens of Ukraine fought to maintain the right to study, learn, and publish in Ukrainian. In 1920, however, Russian was declared the official language, and all study, official documents, and most published materials were in Russian. Following independence in 1991, Ukrainian was declared the official language with the mandate that educational institutions switch to Ukrainian curricula and instruction. At a time when all components of the educational system are attempting to implement a Ukrainian medium of instruction, there is a growing demand from parents and students for increased instruction in English. These two developments place enormous strain upon an already stretched system.
In response to these initiatives, the Peace Corps launched a TEFL project in Ukraine in September 1993. The project was developed in response to the needs identified in the state's national program and through a baseline survey of Ukrainian students, teachers, and ministry officials. Volunteers in the TEFL project work to expand and improve the quality of English instruction in schools and at teacher-training institutions, and to assist in developing new English teaching materials for primary and secondary schools.
Like conditions in Ukraine, Peace Corps programs here continue to evolve. Volunteers in all projects have defined their roles as agents of change, contributing in a variety of ways to the development of Ukraine into a modern European state. As this occurs, new opportunities for Peace Corps programming emerge.
A youth development project was created in 2005 at the request of the Ukrainian government to address the growing gap between the development levels of young people in most urban centers and those in rural and otherwise disadvantaged areas. As many urban Ukrainians are quickly gaining the skills they need to succeed in the new post-Soviet social and economic framework that increasingly characterizes independent Ukraine, children in villages and other economically depressed parts of the country risk falling behind in acquiring the skills and knowledge that they will need to succeed. Youth development Volunteers work with secondary schools, orphanages, and NGOs in small- and medium-sized towns to develop and administer youth programs on healthy lifestyles, civics, information technology (IT), environmental awareness, career building, and sports.

So for the last while I've been having a problem with video games . I've had a difficult time finding one that I find fun. I bought AC3 , Dishonored and a ton of other games; I didn't have much luck with those. Then I went to play Portal , Half-Life and a few PC only games; I got some enjoyment outta them. After I beat those games I was left dry with no games to play other than LoL and Smite. Finally yesterday i picked up Farcry 3 and I gotta say , This game is FUN. The missions are enjoyable and varied . The world is huge with a ton of different elements but you never get lost. Grinding for better items doesnt feel like a chore . The thing I like most is that the game lets you play it anyway you want ( In terms of combat and weapons). I finally found a game I want to spend time playing.
So I finally got Farcry 3

The driver involved with the collision that took a local businessman's life was sentenced to two years less a day in a provincial correctional facility Wednesday morning at Prince Albert provincial court.

Daily Herald
Tanner Hallett Courtney, 22, is also prohibited from operating a motor vehicle for three years and was assessed a victim surcharge of $100 that is to be paid within 30 days of his release.
In October, Courtney pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death in relation to the vehicle collision that took Ben Darchuk's life. Friends and members of both families packed the courtroom on Wednesday.
While reading information from his written decision, Judge Morris Baniak cited mitigating factors such as Courtney's guilty plea and demonstration of remorse, observance of conditions since the accident, standing in the community and lack of a criminal record, as well as the examination of existing case law as reasons for the sentencing.
"In crafting this sentence, I am assisted by decisions from all levels of courts in this province," he said.
During the plea hearing in October, crown prosecutor Bruce Bauer had argued that Courtney spend two- to two-and-a-half years in a federal penitentiary. He noted that the act was careless since it took place on a long and inevitably busy weekend and that drugs and alcohol were found in Courtney's system.
On Wednesday, however, Baniak referred to the case law that had been alluded to during the plea hearing.
Of note, he said the present case was "clearly distinguishable" to that of Rita Galloway's, a woman who was also charged with impaired driving causing death and was handed a 30-month sentence in 2002.
Baniak noted that Galloway had pleaded "not guilty" and reiterated the mitigating factors of the present case.
"As I have tried to point out, courts at every level have repeatedly held that it is important to avoid disparity in sentencing," he said. "It is important that the sentence is proportionate to the gravity of the offence, having regard to the mitigating and aggravating circumstances."
Baniak said the offence needed to be denounced to show that impaired driving would not be tolerated.
"Mr. Courtney … will have to spend a part of his life in jail," he said. "This fact alone will not bring back Mr. Darchuk, and it may not satisfy or console his family. But it is, under the circumstances, the end result of a tragic event."
As an aside to the prison sentence, Baniak declined to impose a restitution order as requested by the crown. Leanne, Whitney and Julie Darchuk had collectively applied for thousands of dollars in restitution.
In determining whether a restitution order was appropriate, Baniak said he had to consider whether the amount was readily discernible, whether the offender's ability to pay was a factor and whether a restitution order should be a factor in determining the totality of a custodial sentence.
He said the damage or loss would be difficult to quantify in the case. While conjecture on his part, Baniak said, Courtney's asset base is "probably modest," based on his age and present circumstances. Thirdly, he noted that a restitution order was not appropriate due to the length of the sentence.
"It is important to note that the sentence imposed on Mr. Courtney is, I believe, in the range of sentences imposed for similar offences by other courts in this province," he said. "None of the sentences I made reference to considered or imposed restitution orders."
Defence attorney Mark Brayford felt the sentencing was appropriate, noting that Baniak did an admirable job of explaining why and how sentencing decision are made in the Canadian justice system.
"In my view, the sentence that was imposed was right in keeping with the other case law," he said. "(Some) people may not agree with the sentence, but it's important to understand why it was chosen."
Noting Courtney's guilty plea and remorse, Brayford went on to say that tragedies — especially those created by drunk driving — cannot be solved with a sentence.
"Drunk driving fatalities are the saddest cases. You've got, typically, an offender who hasn't otherwise been in conflict with the law, and you have an absolutely innocent person that has been killed," he said.
On Sunday, May 20 at around 8:30 p.m., Ben Darchuk, founder of Ben's Auto Glass, died in a vehicle collision on Highway 2 North while heading to the family cottage in Emma Lake.
Courtney, who was on his way back to Prince Albert, had been driving erratically, according to a witness statement. According to the accident reconstructionist, Darchuk's vehicle had left skid marks, indicating that he attempted to avoid the accident.
Courtney was driving 99 km/h at the time of the accident. No skid marks from Courtney's car were present, suggesting that he had not applied his brakes.
Tests revealed that Courtney was driving with an alcohol level above the legal limit and had taken cocaine. He was also given a ticket for public intoxication earlier in the day.
The Darchuk family declined comment following Wednesday's sentencing.

New 'sleep docs' at UT Southwestern learn to treat patients with slumber problems
DALLAS – June 25, 2003 – People know to contact a doctor when they're sick or injured. But if they can't sleep, they may benefit by waking up to a new specialty at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and contacting a sleep doctor.
A new sleep fellowship established at UT Southwestern is training specialists from neurology, pulmonology, psychiatry and psychology to address the myriad of conditions and potential problems associated with sleep. Only the second such program in Texas, it is accredited by the American Association of Sleep Medicine. The fellows in the UT Southwestern program rotate through Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Children's Medical Center of Dallas.
Dr. John Herman, associate professor of psychiatry at UT Southwestern said consulting a specialist trained in treating serious sleep problems makes sense.
"Sleep problems – like insomnia, when you can't fall asleep or wake all during the night, or apnea, when you may actually stop breathing – can play havoc with a person's health, family life or even career," Dr. Herman said.
Treatment regimens are as varied as the problems.
Insomnia, the most common sleep disorder, is attacked with biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation and behavioral changes before medications are prescribed, Dr. Herman said.
Apnea is the sleep complaint that most often sends patients in search of a specialist. Apnea patients, who often snore like freight trains and fall asleep during the day, are often fitted with C-Paps, facemask-like devices that deliver oxygen while the wearer sleeps.
Narcolepsy, another disorder, also causes daytime sleeping. Narcolepsy patients often fall asleep instantly. Standard treatment is usually stimulants, Dr. Herman said.
People with restless-leg syndrome may not realize why they are so tired during the day - their nocturnal movements may become so violent that they jerk themselves awake.
Other sleep disorders that fellows treat include chronic sleeplessness, shift-workers' and travelers' circadian rhythm disturbance, sleepwalking and nocturnal seizures, said Dr. Philip Becker, associate professor of psychiatry at UT Southwestern and head of instructional rotation at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. Dr. Gregory Carter, associate professor of neurology, oversees the sleep fellowship at the VA.
Youngsters are also prone to sleep disorders, said Dr. Herman, head of the fellowship at Children's Medical Center. Disorders he treats include impaired respiration in newborns, chronic sleeplessness, night terrors, narcolepsy, sleepwalking, nocturnal seizures, reflux-related apnea, sleep-related cardiac problems and bedwetting in older children.
For more information on the sleep fellowship or to contact a sleep doctor, please call 214-456-8732.

Presentation Guidelines
If you are selected to present to the Screening Committee, we suggest putting your slides in the following order (although this is not mandatory, you should have a good reason for doing it some other way):
- Company Title Page – with the name and logo of the company, the name and title of your presenter, a one-line description or tag line about the company
- Business Overview – your elevator pitch in 2-3 three sentences or bullet points
- Management Team – talent & experience, with one line background on each member
- Market & Customers – what is the environment, how big are the segments, what are the pain points
- Product – how do you solve the pain, and what exactly do you do. This can be illustrated with a clear product or screen shot, or a simple process diagram, but if we don't know what you do, we won't know why we should fund you. (But don't spend too much time on this)
- Technology & Barriers to entry – brief description of Unique IP, patents
- Business & Sales Model – who pays, how much and from where, annualized revenue streams
- Strategic Relationships – if you have any, make sure we know about them
- Competition – who and how threatening, what are differentiation factors
- Financial Overview – top line revenues and expenses, EBITDA, two years back and four years out
- Terms being offered (request of funds) – How much are you looking for and what are the terms?
- Capital Structure & Valuation – how do you come to the number & current investors
- Use of Funds – what are you going to use the funds for?
- Exit Strategy – how and when will investors make their money back
- Review – summary of what you said, same order, narrowed to five or six points
- Your Contact information
The Presentation – 12 minutes with 5 minutes of Q&A
If accepted to present, here is what we will expect:
Slideshows with approximately 12 – 16 slides are generally most effective. Use the limited time you have for your presentation to emphasize the compelling factors about your investment opportunity and save unnecessary technology details for future meetings. The following guidelines are provided to you as a suggested format. You will have 10 minutes to present and 10 minutes for Q & A.
Your goal is to offer a high-level, summarized view of the company, to excite investors.
Keep the following points in mind:
- A presentation is not a business plan on screen
- Only one to two speakers, no more
- Slides should contain concise ideas, not sentences
- No more than 5 bullet points per page
- A clean, sans-serif type face (such as Arial) in at least 24 point is easiest to read
- Dark background with white letters is an easier read on the screen
- Minimize the use of bullet points, check marks, boxes, non-information symbols
Be prepared to bring handouts of your presentation to the Screening Meeting.

When looking at a smartphone or a tablet it can be easy to forget that computers once occupied full rooms and were less capable than what now fits in a pocket.
That concept of the evolving world of mobile media technology is captured in The Mobile Media Reader, a collection of essays compiled by Noah Arceneaux, San Diego State University journalism and mass media professor.
The reader is available online and covers the evolution of mobile media, from its humble origins in radio into smart phones, tablets and portable gaming systems.
Arceneaux organized The Mobile Media Reader with the history of technology in mind.
"If you had asked people fifty years ago what they predicted for technology in the future, they may have guessed flying cars, but probably not the 'mobilization' of technology and entertainment," said Arceneaux. "I don't think we could have envisioned even a decade ago how commonplace it would be for so many to have a device in their pocket that could call, text, record video, take photos, search the web, play games and everything else they can do."
Tech and culture
As previous media technologies like radio and television have effectively reshaped American culture, mobile technology is having the same effect. From the prevalence of text language like "LOL" and "BRB" to the creation of virtual communities, new technology is changing the way people communicate and interact.
"The intersection of technology and culture is a complicated thing," Arceneaux said. "However, you can use the past as a case study for the events of today."
A more global outlook
Arceneaux also hopes this book will help to eliminate the use of the term 'cell phone', for two reasons. First, he said, it is very American-specific. Outside of the U.S., they're usually called mobiles or something similar. Second, they're not merely phones. From iPhones to Androids, tablets to portable gaming systems, they serve a number of purposes outside just calling people.
Additionally, availability to mobile technology is advancing to a large degree in the developing world, he said. A portion of the book is devoted to Kurdish identity in Turkey through mobile "apps," and aspects of the success of the Arab Spring can be traced to Twitter and other social media, largely used through mobile communication.
The Mobile Media Reader is a follow-up companion work to a book Arceneaux co-authored, titled The Cell Phone Reader.

Maybe they aren't allowed to keep score, can't hurt loser's feelings and self esteem.
if the kids are under the age of 10, they don't really care what the score is. they get food and ice cream. like in the movie bad news bears with tatum o'neal, walter matthau takes the kids to pizza after losing their game.
Same here.
He is very generous, let me tell you. Oh wait, this did happen to me a few times. It my parents who were stingy. Well, my mother had to get her own place…
It's just comics license. I used to have a habit of always drawing cake with lit candles- just as a visual gag. Even if it were kept in the refrigerator and someone were taking a single slice- there would be a lit candle. So I just made sure the ice cream cone looked appropriately ice-cream-coney.
It's neither whether you win or lose…
It's how you celebrate afterwards.

On Sunday, Sept. 23, I sat down with Manti Te'o for a story that was due two hours after the interview concluded and would appear on SI's cover later that week. The detail he provided me about Lennay Kekua, who he said had died 10 days earlier -- six hours after his grandmother passed away -- was staggering. He said that they met through his cousin nearly four years ago and started "dating" on Oct. 15, 2011. Te'o told me she graduated from Stanford, lived in Carson, Calif., had family roots in Hawaii and helped take over part of her dad's job in the construction business, though her passion was to work with children and she'd traveled as far as New Zealand to do so. He said she got hit by a drunk driver on April 28, 2012, discovered that she had leukemia while recovering, and received her cancer treatment at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, Calif. He never specified that he'd met her in person, and I didn't ask. Why would you ask someone if he'd actually met his girlfriend who recently died?
Last night I went through about six hours of interviews from the five days I spent at Notre Dame reporting the Te'o story. Father Paul Doyle, the rector of Dillon Hall, where Te'o lived for three years, told me, "I think I had met the girlfriend. I think she had been here visiting the year before." (He gave Te'o a prayer card that said the men of Dillon Hall were praying for his loss.) Coach Brian Kelly, defensive coordinator Bob Diaco and teammates such as Theo Riddick, Robby Toma and Cierre Wood described in painstaking detail Te'o's emotions on the day he got the call in the locker room that Kekua had died. I was told by teammates and coaches that Te'o had been on the phone with her while getting his ankles taped and for weeks after her death he stayed in close communication with her supposed family.
Before I went to campus, I had conducted lengthy interviews with Brian Te'o, Manti's dad, and Dalton Hilliard, a close friend from Punahou High in Honolulu who played at UCLA. Both said they were in frequent communication with Kekua; Brian Te'o told me he had received a condolence text from her after his mother died. They also spoke on the phone at length, as he did with Lennay's brothers after her "death." Hilliard said he received frequent texts and tweets from her.

One sailor is dead and seven others are missing after their cargo ship sank in the Black Sea off the Turkish coast, the governor of Istanbul said.
Authorities sent a fast rescue boat, four tugboats and a helicopter to the site of the sinking and were able to save four sailors and recover one body, Huseyin Avni Mutlu told the Anadolu news agency.
The Russian cargo ship Volgo-Balt 199, flying the flag of St. Kitts and Nevis, fell out of communication at 0820 GMT Tuesday before sinking in a heavy story off the coast of Sile, 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Istanbul.
On board the ship, which was carrying coal, were 11 Ukrainian sailors and one Russian.
Elsewhere, a German-owned cargo ship is adrift with 14 sailors on board near Kilyos, in the extreme northern part of the Bosporus, not far from where the other vessel sank, the NTV network reported.
The ship is fighting against heavy seas and winds up to 80 kph (50 mph) and has dropped two anchors to try and avoid running aground.
Salih Orakci, the head of Maritime Security for Istanbul, told NTV that the ship had requested the help of a tug, but the latter was not able to assist the vessel.
"What we'll do is save the crew," Orakci said. EFE

Swarm Beats Rush in Second Longest Game in NLL History
from press releases
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – In the second longest game in league history (72 minutes, 23 seconds), the National Lacrosse League's Minnesota Swarm (2-2) defeated the Edmonton Rush (1-3) 10-9 in overtime Friday night on Treasure Island Field in front of 7,012 fans at Xcel Energy Center during the first game of its doubleheader weekend.
Forward Ryan Benesch (3g) sank the game winning goal 12:37 into the longest overtime in Swarm history to give Minnesota its second straight win at home. The longest game ever recorded lasted 76 minutes and six seconds when the Boston Blazers took on the Orlando Titans on Feb. 20, 2010.
Benesch's hat trick led the Swarm and this was his fourth straight game with at least three goals. Forward Callum Crawford (1g, 5a) led Minnesota with six points (1g, 5a).
Rookie goalie Tyler Carlson (2-1) picked up his second career win after making 32 saves on 41 shots in nearly 73 minutes of play.
Forward Jamie Shewchuck (1g, 1a) tallied his only goal of the game to give the Swarm an 8-7 edge one minute and five seconds into the fourth quarter. With only 1:10 remaining, T Andrew Suitor (1g) notched his fifth goal of the season tying it up at 9-9 and sending Minnesota into its first overtime game of the season. Minnesota is now 9-7 all-time in overtime play.
During the third quarter, Benesch tallied his second goal of the night with 5:41 remaining to tie the game up at 6-6. Rookie T Jordan MacIntosh (1g) netted his sixth career goal to give Minnesota its first lead of the game. The Swarm held a 7-6 advantage at the end of the third.
After getting off to a slow start offensively in the second quarter, D Joe Cinosky (1g) broke away with the ball and notched his first NLL career goal. With 3:24 remaining, he brought the Rush's lead down to 5-3. Benesch further chipped away at Edmonton's lead by adding his eleventh goal of the season. With three seconds remaining in the quarter, Crawford posted his only goal of the game to tie up the game up at 5-5 going into halftime.
In the first quarter, rookie F Corbyn Tao (1g, 1a) started off the scoring for the Swarm by tallying his seventh career goal and tying the game up at 1-1. F Kevin Ross (1g, 1a) netted Minnesota's final goal of the quarter on the power play after sneaking one in the corner of the net. The Swarm trailed the Rush 3-2 at the end of the first quarter.
Former Minnesota Swarm F Ryan Ward (2g, 1a) led Edmonton with three points.
Minnesota held Edmonton to a single digit in scoring for the second game in a row and Rush goaltender Aaron Bold showed why he's tops in the NLL statistically with another remarkable performance in the contest.
Bold (1-3 with his 9.27 goals-against and .807 save-percentage) stopped 41 saves against 51 shots for Edmonton.
"He's been solid for us all year and when you get goaltending like that you have to win the games," Rush head coach/GM Derek Keenan said of Bold. "We wasted an outstanding goaltending performance and a pretty-good defensive performance because our offense has just gone stagnant.
"It's all about performance and on offense we have players that just aren't performing. Nine goals in almost five quarters of lacrosse is not good enough and I'm tired of it. With the guys we have there is no reason we shouldn't be scoring more."
"This was a big game on the road trip and the guys new it and for some reason we were sloppy from the get-go," he added.
Tonight's game can be viewed on KSTC-TV Channel 45 during a rebroadcast on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 4 p.m.
After tonight's victory, Minnesota's now leads the all-time record (4-3) against Edmonton. The Swarm's last win against the Rush came at home on Jan. 22, 2011 when it defeated Edmonton 9-8.

State funds grasshopper fight
Laramie, WY – The state's Emergency Insect Management Committee has fully funded all 16 grant applications it received to combat grasshoppers this summer.
Governor Dave Freudenthal directed that $1.9 million be made available to county Weed and Pest Control Districts around the state to help beat back an expected grasshopper outbreak this year.
The grant money approved Tuesday by the committee is aimed at helping increase landowner participation by providing an incentive to treat more acres.
However, Freudenthal says he remains concerned the federal government has not provide significantly more funding to combat grasshoppers on federal land in the state.
He says the lack of federal cooperation could compromise the state's efforts.
Landowners should contact their local Weed and Pest Control District for more information.
