Men's College Hockey: Wilcox, Gophers blank Spartans
MINNEAPOLIS — The top-ranked Minnesota men's hockey team extended its NCAA-best unbeaten streak to 14 games with a 1-0 triumph over Michigan State Saturday night at Mariucci Arena.
Gopher netminder Adam Wilcox pitched his third shutout of the season and sixth of his career to earn the win.
With the victory, Minnesota is now 19-2-5 with an 8-0-2-0 mark in the Big Ten. The Gophers have a nine-point first-place lead over Michigan in the conference standings.
Michigan State came out of the gates flying Friday, but Minnesota brought the offensive pressure in the early going in the weekend finale.
Just 2:29 into the contest, sophomore Ryan Reilly looked to have given the Maroon and Gold a lead when the official signaled for a goal after he swatted at the puck in a scrum in front of the net, but the call was overturned upon review as MSU forward Brent Darnell swept the puck away before it crossed the line.
The Gophers continued to generate chances after Reilly's near miss until 6:44 when Mike Reilly launched a shot on target that was stopped by Spartan goaltender Jake Hildebrand. The rebound attempt by Minnesota captain Kyle Rau deflected off Hildebrand's pad and into the air before landing in the cage.
Rau's tally was his seventh of the season and he scored the game's first goal for the fourth time in 2013-14 — a team-high.
Hildebrand continued to keep MSU in the game, despite a heavy 17-4 shot advantage for the Gophers in the opening frame.
With the score still at 1-0 entering the third period, the Gopher defense continued to stymie the Michigan State attach, blocking six of the Spartan's 16 shot attempts and conceding just seven shots and allowing just one from the slot area.
The Gophers travel to ninth-ranked Wisconsin next weekend. Minnesota will return home the following week for its first-ever Big Ten conference series against No. 12 Michigan.

Baltimore National Aquarium #DollarDays
Dollar days is an annual tradition in December where admission is only $1 at many Inner Harbor attractions! It's a busy weekend as far as crowds go, but is definitely worth the trip when normal aquarium admission is $29.95 for adults. All 5 of us were able to get in for $4 (little miss was free). Plus we were able to save $4 on parking by going to the Lockwood Place garage and having our ticket validated at the aquarium.
We got up fairly early and arrived in Baltimore about 8:30 AM to get in line. (The line fills up fast and weaves around the front and back of the building) Originally, the aquarium was supposed to open at 10 AM, but we were pleasantly surprised that they opened at 9AM. We were able to get a spot toward the front of the line and only had to wait for about 45 minutes. That is not bad at all considering we were expecting at least an hour and a half wait. It was a little chilly and damp, but compared to past years the weather was not bad at all.
Strollers are not allowed inside the aquarium, so little miss walked quite a bit or was carried by her daddy. We went through the Maryland and Atlantic exhibits to our favorite big tanks in Shark Alley. The Attic Baby was afraid of the big fish at first, but she warmed up as we went along. She especially liked the turtles!
The rainforest was pretty warm and it was difficult for her to spot the birds up high since she's so little. The poison dart frogs were pretty neat to watch though.
In Shark Alley, we were able to see divers cleaning the tank. (You certainly wouldn't see me brave enough to go in there with those sharks and sting rays)
Although there isn't a formal dolphin show, we went to the Dolphin Discovery and saw the dolphins interact with trainers. The dolphins were very playful and she liked seeing them splash! It was also fun to go down to the viewing area and see them under the water.
We figured we'd beat the lunch crowds and eat early. On Dollar Days, you can get slices of pizza at $1 a slice, small french fries for $1, and small drinks for $1. We fed most of us for around $11 which was a great deal!
After lunch, it was time for the Jellyfish Invasion. These are really fascinating critters! Baby girl loved watching them move through the water.
Our last stop was the Australia exhibit. Since it was around normal lunch time by then, it wasn't super crowded. I was able to get some fun shots. The tanks are a bit hard to photograph there because of all the light and reflection off them. We watched some neat looking skinks, scary looking snakes and the turtles getting fed. (you can see me putting my hands on some aboriginal handprint artwork ironically near a fire alarm box)
The National Aquarium in Baltimore was a wonderful way to celebrate a 2nd birthday! There is a great variety of animals to see and the savings on Dollar Days can't be beat. This is one of my favorite traditions in our family during the holidays and I'm excited that now the Attic baby can enjoy it with us!
Disclosure: This is not a paid post; I love sharing great deals on area attractions with my readers.

Hey Jim1969Okay. I'm interested in either AccessPORT or EcuTek. Both Metric and North Coast Subaru tune the EcuTek which is convienient. I'd like to hear from local people on their opinion. Thanks
I have the Ecutek and I am pretty happy with it....the thing you have to consider is what is your car intended for. Mine is my daily driver so that was #1, it is a brand new car and I want the waranty to be honored on it in case anything goes wrong #2, Dave at Metric is a very nice guy and he takes care of his customers and he is located 40 min from my house #3 (convenience), Ecutek is a bit on the safer side #4, the only ****y thing is that unlike with the utec you only have one map. But Dave told me last week that he has a more aggresive map that he will upload when I get a chance to stop by.
This fall I ran a 12.74 @ 106.4 during the Evo vs. WRX shoot out!
I have the Ecutek, Bosal turbo back with one cat, and home made (proffesionally by me) ram air intake. I ran the car with 4 gallons of gas 2 100 oct and 2 93 octane and played with the air pressures in my tires.
I recently did a QTP so next year with the new map and a little more tampering I should be able to extract a sub 12.5 run.

Recently, I've been on the go: I've just returned from a two-week sprint that took me to five different cities by plane, train, and car. Any frequent traveler is familiar with the logistical challenges that make multimode transport inconvenient – whether it's dashing between connecting flights or strategizing a taxi pickup to catch the train, switching between methods of transportation can make for a trying, disjointed journey overall.
As I settled into one flight by turning off my mobile phone and opening my laptop, it dawned on me that our path through the fragmented digital world is similar to my multiphase journey. As our physical location changes and as we realize the limitations of certain device experiences, we reach for various devices to carry out the task at hand – often, we complete one activity sequentially across screens and expect a seamless experience.
In fact, Forrester's Consumer Technographics® data shows that more than half of US online adults who begin tasks on their mobile phone continue them on their laptop. These consumers are most frequently purchasing products, checking emails, and researching items:

Tablets aren't the most powerful computing gadgets. But they are the most convenient.
They're bigger than the tiny screen of a smartphone, even the big ones sporting nearly 5-inch screens.
They have longer battery life and always-on capabilities better than any PC — and will continue to be better at that than any ultrathin/book/Air laptop. That makes them very handy for carrying around and using frequently, casually, and intermittently even where there isn't a flat surface or a chair on which to use a laptop.
And tablets are very good for information consumption, an activity that many of us do a lot of. Content creation apps are appearing on tablets. They'll get a lot better as developers get used to building for touch-first interfaces, taking advantage of voice input, and adding motion gestures.
They're even better for sharing and working in groups. There's no barrier of a vertical screen, no distracting keyboard clatter, and it just feels natural to pass over a tablet, like a piece of paper, compared to spinning around a laptop.
Posted by Frank Gillett on the CIOs Blog on February 22, 2012
Employees that use smart devices — PCs or mobile devices — for work have expanded their use of technology more than most people realize. How many devices do you think a typical information worker uses for work? If you only ask the IT staff, the answer will be that most use just a PC, some use a smartphone, and a few use a tablet. But our latest Forrsights workforce employee survey asked more than 9,900 information workers in 17 countries about all of the devices they use for work, including personal devices they use for work purposes. It turns out that they use an average of about 2.3 devices.
About 74% of the information workers in our survey used two or more devices for work — and 52% used three or more! This means that the typical information worker has to figure out how to manage their information from more than one device. So they'll be increasingly interested in work systems and personal cloud services that enable easy multidevice access, such as Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, Google Docs/Apps, Windows Live, and Apple iCloud.
When you dig into the data, the mix of devices info workers use for work is different than what IT provides. About 25% are mobile devices, not PCs, and 33% use operating systems other than Microsoft.

Septic Service
Where is my septic tank?
If you're not sure where your septic tank is located, read our helpful checklist.
Click Here to view and print the PDF document.
Safety – Can a Septic Tank Spontaneously Combust?
Please read this very important article written by Jim Anderson, Ph.D., in his Septic System
Answer Man column that appeared in the December 2016 issue of Pumper magazine, an
industry publication. It addresses some serious safety issues when it comes to working on
a septic system. Click here to read the article.
Our Septic Services Can Help You With
- Septic tank pumpings (routine or emergency)
- Honest septic system inspections for old and
new homes
- Free written report of system performance
with every pumping
- Installing plastic riser pipe with child proof anchored lid
- Septic tank replacement
- Digless leach field repair – a Truly Green process
- Micro aerobic bacteria maintenance program – a Truly Green process
- Aerobic wastewater treatment unit installations
- Grease trap servicing/pumping
- Sewer/septic pump repairs/replacements (also effluent pumps)
Sloboda Bros. Inc. dba American Septic Service, a family-owned and operated business, has been serving Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen and the rest of the Hudson Valley for over 50 years. We have developed a Truly Green Septic Service that will save you money, save the environment and save your failing leach field at the same time. Be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Give us a call and we'll show you how you can make a difference in a cleaner, greener planet. Call us at (845) 895-2501.
The Truly Green Process
Just like the water in a swimming pool, if the pH is not right, the chlorine and other chemicals will not work and it could be no fun at all to use the pool. Your septic tank works on the same principle. If the pH is not right, it will not ferment properly and could eventually fail. Our Truly Green process will bring the environment in your septic tank to optimal performance, saving you money and a pretty big headache.
We'll sit down with you to analyze the demands you're putting on your septic system. We'll
show you how to avoid a system failure that could result in a costly (and stinky) mess. When
you protect your septic system, your family and the environment, you too, are Truly Green.
If you live in Orange, Rockland, Dutchess, Westchester, Ulster, Sullivan or Putnam County,
please call Truly Green at (845) 895-2501.
Call us today for a consultation, or for Emergency Septic Tank Pumping.
FHA backed financing is also available.

American conservatives constantly attack people in other parts of the world for their inability to establish viable governments. They are worried about "terrorists"who threaten the safety of Americans. Of course, these same conservatives seek to impose their values and beliefs upon American women who dare to control their own bodies. A new bill passed by the Arkansas legislature bans termination of a pregnancy after 12 weeks have gone by since as people form the state of Arkansas they are not bound by what the US Supreme Court decides is legal. Governor Mike Beebe vetoed the law and was overturned because he has this quaint idea members of state governments should uphold the laws of the United States.
I understand some seek to protect "life." Some believe life begins when the faint noise of a heart beat is heard. But, what about my view? I believe that life begins when some dude shoves his penis into the vagina of a woman and dispatches his sperm. Once in, it should not be allowed out. In fact, how about requiring any man who wants to shove his penis into a vagina to get permission from the state legislature of Arkansas?

…I like to reflect on the fact that the absolute worst parish in the United States–the uber-loopy St. Joan of Arc in Mpls, is a bastion of staid reverence in comparison with many mainline Protestant churches:
Whenever I Hear People Hyperventilate about Some Bad Mass
Related posts from Catholic and Enjoying It!:

That video's not real, right? It's just somebody doing a parody of modern worship services?
- Dave G.
No, he did it as a joke. I saw the story when it first broke. They had an actual service. He was known as a 49ers fan, and so he did this up in jest.
- B.E. Ward
My understanding is they had their usual earlier-in-the-morning service that day, but this 'replaced' the service that was scheduled for right at kickoff time. Do you have information to the contrary?
- Stu
It was meant as a joke. A bad joke, but still a joke. Problem is, the video gets out and people naturally assume that is how seriously he takes his faith.
- B.E. Ward
I can understand it was meant as a joke.. I guess I'd still like to know if the joke and the 49ers game pre-empted their regular service at that time. If so, that's not really funny.
- Stu
No, it did not preempt it. It was a joke. He came back to perform a service.
- Dave G.
I believe that's true. But not big deal. Not from the perspective of that. It's really no big deal at all.. I don't think it was particularly clever or funny. But it wasn't a big deal either.

- B.E. Ward
That's good news, sorta.
Something still sits uneasily with me. I think most of it is putting the Eucharist 'in on the joke'. I guess if you're Protestant, it's just 'no big', but something about calling it just 'some bread and some wine up here'…..

He's Protestant, so it really is just bread and wine.

Who cares about Protestant irreverence? The more reverent they are, the greater their idolatry and blasphemy. We only get upset with St. Joan of Arc parish because we presume the body of Christ is there
- tteague
joke or not, now we know why SF lost
- Diana
Funny coincidence – St. Joan of Arc was the very first Catholic church I entered with the thought of becoming a convert! A friend and I had driven from Ohio to Minneapolis to attend an event, and on the drive we spent a lot of time discussion the Faith and the Church. I asked if it would be OK for us to find a Mass on Sunday before starting the drive home, and the nearest parish was St. Joan. We made it through the mass without my friend feeling compelled to drag me out of there – the Eucharist is worth more than many oddities – but we had a stirring discussion of the concepts of "valid" and "licit" (and "illicit!) on the drive home!

This is a thousand times better than the artsy-fartsy, lavender loons at St.Joan of Arc.

Humane Shelter At Capacity; Needs Donations, Volunteers
The Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter says it is having a hard time handling a crowded situation at the shelter.
Shelter Director Jeff Roberts said the shelter, as of earlier this week, was housing 235 animals.
Roberts said the shelter is dealing with many more animals then it did at this time a year ago.
"The last three months we have taken in about 100 more animals per month than we did in the prior year," said Roberts. "We are very full with animals, far more than we would ideally house."
Since May 1, Roberts said the shelter has taken in 790 animals.
He said that represents a 66 percent increase from last year, when the shelter took in 474 animals during the same period.
Roberts went on to say that since May 1, 403 animals have been adopted, returned to their owners, or transferred to other shelters.
He credited the efforts of staff and volunteers for achieving that.
"Our live release rate for July was 66 percent, which was very good because our target rate," said Roberts. "That was last month. Now we have to work with animals this month."
With numbers remaining high, Roberts is issuing a call for donations from the community.
He said the shelter's budget assumes taking in just 150 animals a month, so the current situation is costly for the shelter.
He said anything people can provide would be greatly appreciated.
"Whether it is financial donations or it could be donations of canned food for dogs or cats, bleach, laundry detergent," said Roberts. "Anything we would have to pay for, if we can get it donated, it helps us stretch our funds."
Roberts also said volunteers are needed.
"We have a lot more animals to care for," said Roberts. "We need volunteers to help us feed and clean, but also to help us socialize the animals."
Donated supplies can be dropped off at the humane shelter on Scenic Drive between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Meanwhile, anyone interested in volunteering or finding out more information about donating can also call the shelter at 706-282-3275.
Roberts said one other effort the shelter will be pursuing to help control the cat population is a catch-and-release program that will catch and spay or neuter free-roaming, unowned cats.
He said the shelter is receiving an $8,500 spay/neuter grant from Petsmart Charities for that program, which will cover about 120 cats.

Motorists travelling between Napier and Taupo are being advised to watch for and obey traffic lights, which have been set up on the approach to the Mohaka Bridge, about 12km north of Te Pohue.
The temporary lights are in their first week of operation as a six-week refurbishment project is carried out on the bridge.
The surface of the decking is being upgraded, and when that is complete structural work will take place on the bridge itself. A New Zealand Transport Agency spokesperson said delays were unlikely to be more than five minutes.
Road surfacing work is also being carried out around Tarawera on State Highway 50 and slight delays are also expected there.
Similar work is also taking place at a string of sites along SH2 between Napier and Gisborne, mainly between Tangoio and Morere. Between Napier and Dannevirke, minor highway maintenance is being carried out between Paki Paki and Waipukurau.
Motorists are advised there could be slight delays, and are asked to be patient and mindful of other road users as there could be stretches of loose gravel.

What was refreshing about Kuta was that, for the first time, it felt like we tourists were spending time in the local's town, in other words, it isn't focused on tourism - except for surfers shops, which are used by the surf mad locals anyway
However, the end may well be nigh. An international airport is about to open 30 minutes away in Praya and a Dubai property company is investing USD600 million in building a series of luxury hotels and golf courses in Kuta. There is also an Indonesian law which states that any minister can force locals to sell their land. So goodbye kampung on the beach and hello Ritz Carlton? There are property development signs everywhere, so I guess it's only a matter of time. For now, the beaches are deserted - in fact we never actually saw any surfers, I think they were in some hidden beach we never found; the Sasak locals have their beaches and local services and we have a kind of paradise! (it is quiet in the evenings though and we did go a little mad...)

A steady rainfall is heading to the East Valley, and it's heading our way fast.
The rainfall, which is being brought in through a series of storm disturbances from the Pacific, is scheduled to begin in some areas of the Valley around sunrise and will remain steady between 11 a.m. to about 3 p.m. on Thursday, according to Hector Vasquez, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
Nighttime temperatures will drop into the low 50s, with daytime highs in the low 60s Thursday and Friday. A steady warming trend will continue through the weekend.
"It looks like a good-old fashioned cold front," said Vasquez. "It's coming our way, and it's coming very fast."
Vasquez said that areas of the Valley will get anywhere from a fourth-inch to a half-inch of rain.

text: Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie will be no stranger to the tactic of doorstepping, so Channel 4 News chief correspondent Alex Thomson sought to give him a taste of his own medicine when he turned up at his home to ask him about his coverage of Hillsborough. MacKenzie was less than keen to talk ("I'm not going to do it, I will talk about it next week," said the former Sun man) but a persistent Thomson wasn't giving up. So much so that he wedged himself in between MacKenzie and his car door, preventing the ex-editor from driving off. Here's a taste of the pair's increasingly testy exchange. Kelvin MacKenzie: "Can I close my own door?" Alex Thomson: "Not until you have answered that question." KM: "It's not up to you to decide whether I answer the question." AT: "I just did, Kelvin." KM: "Please Alex, it's not reasonable." AT: "That's pretty rich coming from you Kelvin ... The public are going to love that Kelvin ..." MacKenzie, it turns out, is saving himself for next week's Spectator magazine.

PM says 'al-Qaeda' tapes being taken seriously

The Prime Minister, John Howard, said today authorities were taking seriously a tape attributed to terrorist network al-Qaeda urging Muslims to organise resistance against several countries including Australia.
The tape, attributed to al-Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri, called on Muslims to combat crusader America and its allies throughout the world.
"Let us start resisting now," said the tape, which was aired by al-Jazeera television.
"The interests of America, Britain, Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan are spread everywhere.
"They all took part in the invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya or enabled Israel to survive."
The voice on the tape said Muslims could not wait to eaten up country by county.
"We should not wait until US, British, French, Jewish, South Korean, Hungarian or Polish forces enter Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Algeria before we resist," it said.
"People of knowledge and experience should organise their efforts and form a leadership for the resistance to combat the crusaders."
A US intelligence official said the speaker was most likely Osama bin Laden's lieutenant Zawahri.
Mr Howard said he was taking the message seriously but he would never bow to terrorists' threats.
"I take everything related to that seriously but foreign policy of Australia is not dictated by terrorist organisations and never will be while I'm Prime Minister," he said.
The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said it was possible it was a legitimate message but served only to strengthen the Government's resolve to fight terrorism.
"Our reaction to that is that we will never buckle in the face of threats from the terrorists," he told reporters.
"As a government we are absolutely determined to confront and defeat these terrorists and not to cave in to any of the demands that they make."
With the federal election only a week away, Mr Downer accused the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, of wanting to humiliate Australia by pulling troops out of Iraq by Christmas.
"I don't think you ever defeat evil by running from evil," he said.
"That's why I'm very concerned about the Labor Party's policy of running away from Iraq, running away from the terrorists and giving the terrorists an enormous propaganda victory.
"This is the wrong policy, it's at the wrong time and all it will do is give al-Zawahri and his cronies in al-Qaeda a great decision to celebrate."
Mr Latham reconfirmed he would withdraw troops by Christmas if he won the election after he received departmental advice.
"That commitment remains ... that we seek the advice of the Department of Foreign Affairs about the security of the Australian mission in Baghdad and we'll act on that advice in government," he said.

NAACP Youth and College Division to Host Annual Convention in Kansas CityJune 10, 2010
(BALTIMORE, MD) - The NAACP Youth and College Division will hold their annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri from July 11-15, 2010. The convention is a gathering of thousands of young people representing 600 Youth Councils, High School Chapters and College Chapters actively involved in the fight for civil rights around the nation, and will be held concurrently with the NAACP's 101st Annual Convention.
The convention will highlight a new civil rights agenda that builds on the past and embraces the unique struggles and aspirations of today's young people. Members will vote and discuss legislation pertinent to the division as well as attend workshops, youth advisory meetings, and forums focusing on the empowerment of young African-American teens and other racial and ethnic minorities. Topics of discussion will range from civic engagement through voter registration, role of the criminal justice system and mastering social networking techniques as a recruitment tool.
"This year's Youth and College Convention is an opportunity for the NAACP to harness the energy and creativity displayed by young members nationwide who want to create change and have a louder voice concerning issues that affect them," said National Field and Youth and College Division Director Stefanie Brown. "With the unveiling of the Youth Civil Rights Agenda, among other upcoming initiatives, the NAACP is poised to show that youth is and will continue to be at the forefront of civil and human rights."
In addition to the youth civil rights agenda, the NAACP Y&C Division will unveil a new logo as a part of its "100 Remix" campaign. The logo, which will be chosen from a group of contest submissions, will encompass the deep history of the NAACP while representing the forward movement of the Association. The winning logo will be unveiled at the "100 Remix" town hall event at the Kansas City Convention Center on July 12th.
Youth Units, Advisors and State Youth & College Divisions will also be recognized during the convention with the Juanita Jackson Mitchell Youth Freedom Awards, awarded to those who have displayed exemplary youth activism in the civil rights arena, dedication, and commitment to the mission and vision of the NAACP. The award will be given out on July 14th.
Created in 1936, the Youth and College Division has one of the largest organized groups of young people of any secular organization in the country. Today, the Youth & College Division continues to provide one of the strongest and most capable elements in the NAACP's national volunteer network as well as the major training instrument for motivated young people committed to justice and equality for all people of color.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization.

The Ferris State University women's basketball team opened up a four-game Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) road swing Thursday (Jan. 29) evening with a 66-59 triumph over host Northern Michigan in NMU's Berry Events Center at Marquette, Mich.
FSU played the game without the services of head coach Tracey Dorow, who is expecting her first child and did not make the trip. Assistant coach Crystal Harris directed the Bulldogs' in her absence with the help of Volunteer Assistant Coach Mark DeNoyelles on the FSU bench.
Ferris took a 30-25 halftime lead and led the entire second half in improving to 6-11 overall and 4-9 in the GLIAC this campaign. NMU dropped to 10-8 overall and 5-8 in league play with the setback. The win was Ferris' second in its last three outings to date.
Bulldog senior forward/center Ashley Fleming sparked the FSU victory with a game-high 18 points and eight rebounds. Sophomore center Andrea Clancy added 11 points while senior forward/center Jenna Guay chipped in with 10 points as the Bulldogs' dominated play inside.
The Wildcats had only two players reach double-digits as Christa Erickson scored 11 points and Erin Powers contributed 10 points.
The Bulldogs shot 40% (26-65) from the floor for the game and made 11-of-16 (68.8%) free throws in addition to three-of-nine (33.3%) tries beyond the arc. Meanwhile, NMU was 21-of-63 (33.3%) from the field and eight-of-31 (25.8%) from long range. The Wildcats sank nine-of-10 (90%) free throws.
Ferris had a season-low six turnovers in the game compared to NMU's 18 miscues. The Bulldogs finished with 12 steals, seven assists and one blocked shot while Northern Michigan managed 10 assists, four steals and two blocks. FSU was outrebounded 47-38 for the contest.
Ferris had only two turnovers in the opening period in taking a five-point halftime edge.
The Bulldogs will conclude their two-game trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula by visiting Michigan Tech on Saturday (Jan. 31) for a 1 p.m. (EST) league tilt at Houghton, Mich.

I have known this gentleman for a couple years and have dealt with him on several occasions and every deal is on the up-n-up. So before you blow any more steam, go read the post again.
BTW, I have not seen any underhanded or inappropriate deals on that site - EVER!!!!!

Thanks A Flock
Dear Editor;
I just wanted to express a special thank you to Dr. Randon Feinsod, a veterinarian at the Howard Beach Animal Clinic on Cross Bay boulevard.
I was walking on the beach near my home when I noticed a bird almost half frozen unable to move because it was trapped in a thin fiber. A fellow neighbor and bird lover helped me take the bird to Gateway since the bird was stuck. The park ranger recommended the Howard Beach Animal Clinic. Sure enough, the loon was cut loose of the fishing net.
Dr. Feinsod kept the bird over night to be sure it was okay and the next day the bird was back in the ocean free to go to it's appropriate destination.
It's great having people in our area concerned about helping animals in the wild.

This series includes archival materials such as journals, correspondence, official records and personal papers over a two hundred year period, all related to British involvement in the Atlantic region, including both Africa and the Americas. BRAW currently is made up of sixteen different collections drawn largely from trading documents and missionary papers from various archival repositories. The mission societies include SPG (Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts), which first sent missions to America to minister to slaves and Native Americans beginning in the early 1700s. The United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG), whose archives from 1710-1950 form part 11 of the BRAW collections, was formed in 1965 on the merger of the SPG and the UMCA (Universities' Mission to Central Africa). The total collections in BRAW as of August 2013 are: Part 1: Records relating to the Slave Trade at the Liverpool Record Office Part 2: American Material in the Archives of the USPG, 1635-1812 Part 3: The Papers of William Davenport & Co., 1745-1797 Part 4: Jamaican Material in the Slebech Papers Part 5: Papers relating to the Jamaican Estates of the Goulburn Family of Betchworth House Part 6: Papers of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, 1694-1709 Part 7: Journal, Annual Sermons and Reports of the SPG, 1701-1870 Part 8: South American Missionary Society Records, 1844-1919 Part 9: Liverpool Street and Trade Directories, 1766-1900 Part 10: Early Colonial and Missionary Records from West Africa Part 11: West Indies Material in the Archives of the USPG, 1710-1950 Part 12: The Archives of the Associates of Dr Bray to 1900 Part 13: The Collected Papers of the Bolton Whitman Fellowship Part 14: Canadian Papers of the 4th Earl of Minto Part 15: American Material from the Tarleton Papers Part 16: Liverpool Customs Bills of Entry, 1820-1939 In all, the sixteen collections currently total around 386,000 pages. The largest collection is the "Liverpool Street and Trade Directories," with the next two largest being the archival collections from the SPG and USPG. All of this material was previously microfilmed by MAP, and distributed as British Records Relating to America in Microform (BRRAM). Delivery: Technical platform & interface Each of the collections included within BRAW can be individually searched on the BOA platform. See the CRL review of BOA for a critique of the platform features. Additionally, there is a separate landing page for BRAW within the BOA platform. While that would seem to be desirable, since the sixteen BRAW collections form such a large subset of the thirty-eight collections currently in BOA, there are several functional drawbacks to the design of this particular landing page: Only a basic keyword search is available. The advanced search option defaults to the BOA advanced search, so one cannot perform advanced search operations on the full group or selected collections specifically constituting the BRAW subject series. The listing of collections included in BRAW is displayed in a dynamically scrolling insert; it is difficult to grasp at once the full list of collections, and there is no apparent order to the listing. They are neither in alphabetical order by title of the collection nor in the numbering order originally assigned (part 6, part 5, part 14, part 9, etc.). There is no prompt to return to the full group of BOA collections; the "home" button reverts back to the BRAW landing page. Metadata The metadata for individual collections is quite thorough. Records appear to be based on Dublin core. These are displayed for each "series", document, and page image. Documents are assigned digital identifiers. Document level metadata often includes lengthy title annotations for unpublished materials, and notes the original archival collection source, such as "Liverpool Record Office". Page image records include any page level tagging, such as the date of a manuscript letter. MARC records were created for the initial eleven collections in BRAW; the publishers indicate that they will investigate the feasibility of producing more MARC records for the other collections. Terms: The modules can be purchased as a group with a one time payment, or separately (which includes a five-year payment option per module) The initial five-year licensed access period includes a hosting fee and, in the case of a license to the whole series, any new collections added during that period. Thereafter a hosting fee of 5% of the list price p.a. will be charged, and new collections in the series may be added on payment of a supplement. Strengths and Weaknesses: The strengths and weaknesses pertaining to the British Online Archives (BOA) database as a whole are relevant here: While the scope of some of the individual collections may be somewhat narrow, MAP's effort to convert an extensive microform series is impressive. The use of a conventional hierarchical archival collection structure for the browse lists, and inclusion of contextual collection descriptions plus well-formed metadata extending down to page level are welcome features which should serve scholars and students alike. Regarding basic functional deficiencies in the platform, MAP has indicated a willingness to consider implementing features including: ability to download and print a maximum of a full document at a time rather than one page at a time; ability to apply search functions to multiple selected collections. Also as noted, there are also a number of deficiencies inherent in the BRAW series search page (as distinct from the main BOA search interface), which make it an unsatisfactory way to search these collections.

Venture capital firm EnerTech Capital has held a final close of nearly $120m for its fourth fund.
The fund has received commitments from US and Canadian LPs including Alberta Enterprise, Export Development Canada, Teralys, Business Development Bank of Canada, Southern UTE, and the State of Maryland.
It has also been backed by Canadian investment firm BDC Venture Capital, which invested $20m.
EnerTech said the fund will follow the same strategy as its predecessors, investing in oil and gas technologies, water remediation through to emerging new energy software and grid technologies and other segments of the energy sector.
The firm has already made four investments from the new vehicle including N-Dimension, Space-Time Insight, HPC Energy and Distech Controls.
EnerTech managing director Wally Hunter said, "We believe that maintaining our broader energy technology focus will continue to provide significant new investment opportunities for the new fund.
"Our strong presence in Canada in the major provincial markets of Alberta, Ontario and Quebec provides us with significant proprietary deal flow for the new fund in addition to strong US deal flow.
"We are also pleased to have numerous strategic investors in our new fund who will add significant value to our portfolio companies and proprietary deal flow for the fund."

The Vanished Messenger HTML version
Chapter 7
The two men who were supping together in the griliroom at the Cafe Milan were talking
with a seriousness which seemed a little out of keeping with the rose-shaded lamps and
the swaying music of the band from the distant restaurant. Their conversation had started
some hours before in the club smoking-room and had continued intermittently throughout
the evening. It had received a further stimulus when Richard Hamel, who had bought an
Evening Standard on their way from the theatre a few minutes ago, came across a certain
paragraph in it which he read aloud.
"Hanged if I understand things over here, nowadays, Reggie!" he declared, laying the
paper down. "Here's another Englishman imprisoned in Germany - this time at a place no
one ever heard of before. I won't try to pronounce it. What does it all mean? It's all very
well to shrug your shoulders, but when there are eighteen arrests within one week on a
charge of espionage, there must be something up."
For the first time Reginald Kinsley seemed inclined to discuss the subject seriously. He
drew the paper towards him and read the little paragraph, word by word. Then he gave
some further order to an attentive maitre d'hotel and glanced around to be sure that they
were not overheard.
"Look here, Dick, old chap," he said, "you are just back from abroad and you are not
quite in the hang of things yet. Let me ask you a plain question. What do you think of us
"Think of you?" Hamel repeated, a little doubtfully. "Do you mean personally?"
"Take it any way you like," Kinsley replied. Look at me. Nine years ago we played
cricket in the same eleven. I don't look much like cricket now, do I?"
Hamel looked at his companion thoughtfully. For a man who was doubtless still young,
Kinsley had certainly an aged appearance. The hair about his temples was grey; there
were lines about his mouth and forehead. He had the air of one who lived in an
atmosphere of anxiety.
"To me," Hamel declared frankly, "you look worried. If I hadn't heard so much of the
success of your political career and all the rest of it, I should have thought that things
were going badly with you."
"They've gone well enough with me personally," Kinsley admitted, "but I'm only one of
many. Politics isn't the game it was. The Foreign Office especially is ageing its men fast
these few years. We've been going through hell, Hamel, and we are up against it now,
hard up against it."
The slight smile passed from the lips of Hamel's sunburnt, good-natured face. He himself
seemed to become infected with something of his companion's anxiety.
"There's nothing seriously wrong, is there, Reggie?" he asked.
"Dick," said Kinsley, with a sigh, "I am afraid there is. It's very seldom I talk as plainly as
this to any, one but you are just the person one can unburden oneself to a little; and to tell
you the truth, it's rather a relief. As you say, these eighteen arrests in one week do mean
something. Half of the Englishmen who have been arrested are, to my certain knowledge,

Hayes says the heat threshold for mammals is 42 degrees Celsius (about 108 degrees Fahrenheit). Chile plants figured out a way to fool the body's temperature sensors via the chemical capsaicin, which works on the receptor TRPV1 (Hayes calls it a "molecular thermometer"). Basically, the chemical punks the body into thinking it's burning tissue. In fact, the reaction with capsaicin is an inflammatory response, more like an allergy.
So how do restaurant workers, who have to cut hot peppers every day, deal with the faux burn? "You just wash with soap and hot water," says Alex Bhowjani, supervisor at Bun Mee, a Vietnamese sandwich joint in San Francisco that serves up to 600 jalapeño-packed banh mi per day. Restaurant cooks don't have time to bother with the fancy solutions floating around the Internet, ranging from applying vegetable oil to soaking in whole milk. Bhowjani says you stop noticing after a while. "You just get used to it." There is evidence this is true.
For home cooks, Hayes happens to agree with Bhowjani: The best remedy is actually washing with soap and water, although Hayes insists on cold water, not hot. The soap binds with the capsaicin to wash it away, and the cold water lowers the temperature of your hands so that TRPV1 isn't activated.
As for all the folk remedies out there, Hayes says they're a mixed bag. Milk and other dairy products? Fine, but probably mostly effective because they're cold. Tomatoes, vinegar, lemon, or lime? "It turns out the molecular thermometer works by sensing hydrogen atoms, so acids are the worst thing you can use." [Ed. note: Acids usually "donate" hydrogen ions to solutions.] Vegetable oil? It'll take the capsaicin off your hands but won't reduce the temperature unless it's cold. Rubbing alcohol? "That's an irritant in and of itself. Don't add an irritant to an irritated place!" Gasoline? "I guess it would work, but it's not very safe. You gonna put it in your sink?"
Topical skin-numbing creams containing benzocaine or tetracaine are, in fact, effective. Hayes says they work by temporarily shutting down the nerves that register pain.
