I dont really see the a-peel (sorry for the pun!) of this shirt. Congrats to the artist though...
I bought one, almost bout another for a friend of mine, but I don't think I am going to be wear this to our next Lodge meeting. And the inverted star is not a sign of the occult in this instance, it is referring the Order of the Eastern Star, an organization for wives and daughters of Freemasons.

You should call that color Monkey Sh*t Brown ala Tom Waits.
Impressive sales for a daily! Congratulations to the artist. Love the color contrast on the brown.
After getting the monkey shirt during the derby I couldn't pull the trigger on this one, but it's a cool design.
This shirt reeks of good taste.
That monkey/design has genuis written all over it.
Dude.......one word........Copyright.

Close - it is a Woot-Off monitor from 2007.
PS - I bagged me a Blushing Over Compliments on last weekend's Woot-Off, and nobody I work with gives half a rats butt. You bizarre woot-junkies are the only ones that would appreciate that.
I saw this shirt this morning and was not overly impressed. Now that it is sold out I feel like I missed out on something really cool. The brainwashing of woot?
is this the futurama monkey from the Mars University?

Congrats on your B.O.Crud in the woot off. My husband was close, but had to make some last minute adjustments to his credit card information. I have no idea why he did not check the info prior to getting to "the bag" of carp. Congrats again!
Kind of new to this site so can I ask a question.
So In two days I've bought 4 shirts.2 today before 12 Noon,and 2 on Saturday prolly a little over Noon.All on Overnight shipping.
I went to My Account,and when I click on the status of my shirt(That ID number) it will tell me when my shirt is shipped or not?
Right now it tells me that my Order is Set.Is it supposed to say this,or does it update to Shipped later on?I didn't quite understand
I woulda wanted this, buttttt.....
Word on the street has it this shirt's pretty sweet also:
If only it had 300 more votes...

I didn't buy one either although I really dig this shirt. The biggest turn off for me is the length of the t-shirts Woot prints on. There to friggen long.....unless maybe you're the child of a giraffe
Arrrgh!!!! I was sooo busy today, didn't get to check until just now and its sold out!!!
Love this shirt!

Oh really?
I just bought 4 shirts so I dunno how they are going to size.
I usually wear a 2x that's about the size for me.Loose enough so that it doesn't choke me,but not so big that it's like a skirt or something.
The website recommended to go a size higher...
I got 4 3x's.I'm not one to mind if the shirt drapes or not(Especially since these shirts are all really cool),but yeah.Even I have limits.
Cool shirt. Isn't that Mojo Jojo? I didn't know he was a Mason.
I guess I have been "wootized"... missed out at $10 so I had to buy at $15... now I own a total of 3 t shirts... that's not 3 woot t shirts but 3 t shirts total... I not a t shirt guy but that friggin monkey is pretty damn cool!

True, but you have to be a mason to become a shriner so...
My Bobo just came =)
Kick ass T-shirt.
The Brown just fits so well.
Ugh.. I would have loved to get this.. but I just KNOW that if I wear it to work, I'll get labeled as a satan-worshiper b/c of all the symbols on the background. Of course, that might be a step up from atheist. ;) Either way, making your boss think you're full of evil... not always a wise plan.
Got my shirt today! Looks great and thanks woot for the free overnight shipping!
Where is it supposed to say "Shipped"? All I have right now is saying "Your order is in" and "You are all set now."?
I didn't get a message telling me when it shipped either.
I bought Overnight shipping though,and the package got here the next day so it turned out to be a moot point anyways(If you order something make sure you do it well before 12 o'clock Noon so that they can ship it out that day,and if you have Overnight Shipping with a little luck you will be able to get it the next day).
I'd probably worry a bit more if you are shipping on Fedex Smart Post.If you are,I don't know what to tell you.You can probably message the Staff members at Shirt.woot
Well, i'm using the free shipping to the US. I don't know if this is the smart post you are talking about. Well, it says it takes up to 5 days to ship. I'll wait a little more.
Yeah, got mine today (first woot shirt) and it's way too long. Brand new, it is about 4-5 inches longer than I'd want and than my other normal size L t-shirts... there will be some shrinkage so maybe 3-4 inches too long. I think this should be called a LT/large tall... I'm 5'11" btw. As for the neck hole being cut too small as I've also read... I don't see it, might get a scosh bit too small after washing but seems to fit fine from the waist up.

They tried to give their daughter a happy, stable upbringing, but she blames them for all her troubles. What can her hurt parents do?
Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com, and remember to include a nickname if you don't want to be identified.
Our daughter had a tough time through the teenage years and to get her away from the bad crowd we decided to send her to a nice boarding school.
Since then she has blamed me for everything! Now she is married to a lovely chap, has two gorgeous kids and still treats me like dirt!. I usually end up crying on the way home from her place but when I stayed away she rang me after a few months and gave me hell.
Everything still comes back to those teenage years! My husband sees and hears but prefers to stay out of it! I just don't know how to make it better.
Upset mum
Maybe the key phrase here is 'everything still comes back to those teenage years'. Time may have moved on and she may now have a lovely husband and gorgeous kids, but it sounds as if the two of you are still stuck in the past conflicts and until you move past this, not much will change.
Sometimes the people we most want to be close to are the ones we also push away and if the teenage years were tough you may not have found useful ways of weathering the storms together.
You also mention your fear of her finding out you have talked about this so I wonder if she still feels a degree of rejection, shame and not being able to make things right with you - in fact I suspect you both share many of the same feelings of trying to reach out and then finding it goes wrong.
I wonder if you have ever been able to sit and really listen to her feelings and thoughts about her time at boarding school. Often when people close to us say things that are hard to hear we are so busy trying to let them know why we acted the way we did, or feeling our own pain or anger at what they are saying, that we don't really stop and let the other person give full vent to what they have felt and experienced. This may be one of those times when some hard things need to be aired so you can both move on.
I suggest you find a time when you are able to be just with her (no kids, partners or distraction) and take some time to talk about what you both want from your relationship. How does this sound?
Start by letting her know you love her to bits and would do anything to make this relationship work but you don't know how. Let her know you really want to understand what is not working for her in the relationship now and what didn't work for her about the boarding school experience.
Another option is to express these things in writing - that way you get to see what you have written and take the time to get the right tone - this can be very powerful. Even if this conversation/letter goes well, it will take time for you both to figure out new patterns of getting on, and you will need to keep revisiting how to keep the communication lines open and respectful.

I have only ever meet one person that likes boarding school and he is currently 13.
Spoken to hundreds that "hated it"! Heard many stories of bullying and worse.
1 + 1 = ?
times got tough, the parent gave up and shipped 'the problem' off to boarding school, what else was to be expected?
While the letter might be abridged, it sounds like there is more to this than stated and that you are failing to take some responsibility. Your language is very positive to you, and blaming to your daughter. In addition, she has the support of her partner, when you do not have the support of yours, which is indicative. I suggest that only a qualified practitioner could assist you to work through these issues. Sitting down and talking to your daughter is unlikely to resolve things, and may harm her further.
#1, that's not fair! My sister goes to boarding school and she absolutely loves it, as do all her friends there (the ones who didn't like it mainly left). Besides, it doesn't sound like the girl in this story was very happy at her day school either.
I'm sorry that you are being so hurt by your daughter's actions. I'm 40 and also a Mother who was sent to boarding school for my teens. Although I am mature and rational, I still cannot believe my Mother made that decision - a decision I would never make for my own children. I know that some children have happy experiences at boarding school but I, like many others, felt pushed out. I do appreciate that the education I had made a positive impact on my career. I still feel rejected by her actions but have forgiven her. I can only recommend that you keep the lines of communication open and do not expect too much from her. She will understand one day, maybe when her children hit their teens. I do hope things improve for you both.
Well... I enjoyed boarding school. That's two.
Now married, kids, own home, dog. Good job. Happy. Things seem to have turned out all right.
I really feel for you in this situation. Commenters like kiwi fella #1 have no idea what they are talking about. I know loads of children who have had happy boarding school experiences. Trying to make you feel guilty for sending her to boarding school is not helpful. Parents do the best they can and it sounds like you made the right choice at the time. You need to speak to your daughter about things directly. Let her tell you all the hurt she felt about anything at all ( you can bet this is not just about boarding school as you sent her there to get her away from problems she was having). If you are able to talk with her openly and let her express herself you then may be able to suggest some counselling for you both or even just a timeout on the old hurts and a new start. Your daughter seems like she needs to grow up and start being accountable for herbown emotional wellbeing - hopefully you can guide her through this last step. Best of luck.
As hard as this may be to hear, your good intentions may have had the opposite effect to what you were hoping for. Her difficult behaviour in her teenage years means it was likely she was crying out for her parents to see something was going wrong, and she needed you desperately (though teenagers are notoriously bad at accepting the help, or asking for it in the right ways). You sent her to a "nice boarding school", but it is likely she interpreted this as "I'm so bad, my parents can't even handle me, and sent me away to be someone else's problem".
I agree that you need to sit down and talk through this experience with her and work through whatever resentments you both hold. You both need to truly listen to each other. But I would start with putting aside all YOUR feelings, and really listening and accepting hers first. This is not a time for you to start justifying to her.
Family counselling to talk through it and move on. Not sure they will work it out without professional help as they have been stuck in this unresolved conflict for so long.
My mother and I have never been close. Background story is that she raised me as a single mother and wanted to give me the things that she never had as a child, but forgot about me and spending time with me. Partly due to her always moving me from one activity to another that as a child i didnt want, pushing me to exhaustion at school, wanting to be my best friend when i needed a mother, going to night shift where the money was better, then first meeting her now husband when he turned up at our place and she was at work... I find that its only now that she is actually listening to what i am saying but we still argue, we are still not as close as she would like but talking about it without her husband and my partner does help. These things take time and both of you need to communicate and find ways where you can move forward together.

Old English weorc, worc "something done, deed, action, proceeding, business, military fortification," from Proto-Germanic *werkan (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Dutch werk, Old Norse verk, Middle Dutch warc, Old High German werah, German Werk, Gothic gawaurki), from PIE root *werg- "to work" (see urge (v.)).
Work is less boring than amusing oneself. [Baudelaire, "Mon Coeur mis a nu," 1862]In Old English, the noun also had the sense of "fornication." Workhouse in the sense of "place where the poor or petty criminals are lodged" first appeared 1650s. Works "industrial place" (usually with qualifying adj.) is attested from 1580s. Work ethic recorded from 1959.
a fusion of Old English wyrcan (past tense worhte, past participle geworht), from Proto-Germanic *wurkijanan; and Old English wircan (Mercian) "to work, operate, function," formed relatively late from Proto-Germanic noun *werkan (see work (n.)). Related: Worked; working. Working class is from 1789 as a noun, 1839 as an adjective.
The transfer of energy from one object to another, especially in order to make the second object move in a certain direction. Work is equal to the amount of force multiplied by the distance over which it is applied. If a force of 10 newtons, for example, is applied over a distance of 3 meters, the work is equal to 30 newtons per meter, or 30 joules. The unit for measuring work is the same as that for energy in any system of units, since work is simply a transfer of energy. Compare energy, power.

|Art Dubai Announces Its Global Art Forum Fellows 2012
|In response to the Global Art Forums theme of The Medium of Media, the Forum
Fellows returns in 2012 as an intensive writing workshop and a series of closed-door,
round-table discussions, culminating in a public presentation to be staged on the final
day of the Forum in Dubai (Saturday, March 24, 2pm). Organized by the critics
Kaelen Wilson-Goldie and Murtaza Vali, the program brings together a dynamic
group of writers, including artists, curators and cultural practitioners who consider
writing a crucial part of their practice.
This years fellows are writer Rayya Badran (Beirut), critic and curator Jyoti
Dhar (Delhi and Dubai), artist Shahira Issa (Cairo) and writer and curator Rijin
Sahakian (founder of Echo/Sada for Contemporary Iraqi Art).
The Forum Fellows invites a number of people from the wider art fair community to
join in debates about the tensions and pressures that are brought upon writing in its
varied forms: criticism, journalism and as an artistic practice. Of particular interest is
the struggle to keep pace with the present without forsaking history as a crucial
resource for critical reflection.
The Forum Fellows programme also includes an intensive writing workshop, with the
participants producing and critiquing short texts on a daily basis.
The fellowship program comes to an end on the last day of the Global Art Forum with
a public presentation. The form of the presentation itself will be determined by the
fellows during their time together as an exercise in coming up with a dynamic way to
present written material in real time.
Notes to Editors:
The current edition of the Forum Fellows has been conceived, in part, as a response
to Oraib Toukans White Elephant, commissioned by Art Dubai Projects in 2011,
which turned a piece of prime art-fair real estate into a refuge and a void. In modest
fashion, the fellowship program hopes to fill in (and test out) the metaphoric space that
Toukans piece created in 2011.

Any type of glue I should buy specifically for making my own girth belt?
and anyone recomend any type of rope as well, then please do
A Jango leather type? Or Boba?
I used leather weld glue from Tandy for Jango. Cut up and old bomber jacket to make a backing to glue to.
i was thinking of buying some rope, and glueing together, i have seen it done, and i want to know what glue, and what type of rope
sorry, no experience with that one. If you use a cloth rope of some sort I'd try a fabric glue like tacky glue. Otherwise I'd try a good general adhesive. I hear a lot of people using gorrila glue, but I've never used it.
does anyone else?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????:confused
I believe that if you're going for a Jango belt, I don't think they use rope, it's a 5mm or 6 mm braided Round Leather Cord also known as Bolo sometimes. Seems to me someone here was buying this stuff wholesale from someone in India and selling it to folks but I lost track of whom that was in particular. I'm going to be needing to buy some as well, so maybe we can get several of us together interested in buying some of this "Bolo" and buy it wholesale at a significantly lower rate. Thoughts? If you're just wanting one of the Boba mohair girth belts, heck I'll sell you the one I bought for what I have in it. It's brand new and 40" long, still undyed...As far as glue, take your pick of many. Hot glue, Goop, Welder, etc should work well enough...
You can always try tandy leather for the cord I believe, but I'll post a couple of other options for you to price shop before you buy...The first one below takes you diectly to the page where you can buy 10 meter plus rolls of the braided leather cord.
Hope that gives you a start. The last link has a wide variety of colors which is cool to have options...
i am using a jango cod, but i am not using leather for the girth belt, i am a custom, so any recomendations on rope?
i am on a budget here
I'll fill you in on a thought I had for my Jango-like girth belt. For the "rope" you're talking about, I had thought about using a black nylon parachute cord glued really nice and straight. It would be a bit tricky keeping it so that very little of the glue is showing, but you could touch it up after i suppose. I think they make several colors of nylon parachute cord if black doesn't float your boat. I also thought that it would be killer to know someone into beadwork. Wouldn't it be cool to have a basic leather weight-lifting belt and then cover it in a beadwork design of your choosing. you could have Clan symbols represented and/or any other designs. My inspiration was seeing some (I believe) Navajo or Apache leather/beadwork the other day on television and thought that'd make a killer girth belt! I hope that helps more than it confuses...:lol

Alternative nuclear technologies that are superior to and safer than conventional nuclear could play a huge role in addressing the world's energy and climate change crises, and help rebuild nuclear's standing post-Fukushima.
But don't just take our word for it.
This week's edition of the esteemed journal Nature rolls out the carpet to welcome the new approaches that we've been writing about here at Weinberg since we launched our blog in September – including thorium fuel as well as molten salt reactors, pebble bed reactors, fast reactors and others. None of these are new per se, but lost out some 40 years ago to an inferior technology.
In an articled entitled Nuclear energy: Radical reactors, author M. Mitchell Waldrop notes, "For decades, one design has dominated nuclear reactors while potentially better options were left by the wayside. Now, the alternatives might finally have their day."
The "one design" that has ruled, of course, has been the solid uranium fuelled, water-cooled reactor that today can cost $10 billion to $15 billion to build. Those reactors have prevailed "not because they were best, but because they were first," says Waldrop in a comprehensive story that reads in places like a retelling of Richard Martin's thorium homage, SuperFuel.
Now that's set to change, Waldrop asserts, as alternative designs reduce and even eliminate meltdown risks; leave less long lived waste and in some cases turn waste into fuel; reduce costs; and just as key, provide a valuable clean heat source that can help fuel high temperature industrial processes that today spew CO2.
The meltdown-proof liquid thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) that Kirk Sorensen is developing at Flibe Energy, for example, includes a "freeze plug" that thaws and allows fuel to drain into a safety tank in the event of an emergency.
MSRs also operate at much higher temperatures than conventional reactors, as do other alternative "high temperature" designs such as we've been writing at Weinberg – including Steenkampskraal Thorium Ltd's thorium fueld pebble bed reactor and several initiatives in China.
Higher operating temperatures – as high as 1,000 degrees C – offer several advantages over 300 degree C conventional reactors, notes Nature. Among them: they make more efficient use of fuel, and industry can tap them not just for electricity, but also for process heat.
"They could slash carbon emissions by supplying heat for industrial processes," writes Waldrop. "In the United States, roughly 23% of all energy is used in industrial applications such as petroleum cracking and plastics manufacture,many of which need temperatures of at least 700 °C. Currently, those temperatures tend to be generated by burning natural gas; high-temperature reactors could provide a zero-carbon alternative."
The story notes that Dow Chemical Company is keeping a close eye on the Antares high temperature reactor that France's Areva is developing.
"If all goes to plan, high-temperature systems will be among the first advanced reactors to be deployed, starting in the 2020s," Nature states.
Nature also points to a revival in "fast" reactors – a concept popular in the 1970s that failed to catch on- that would use nuclear waste as fuel. As we noted here, Russia has recently scaled up its plans to build fast reactors.
Another encouraging sign in the article is that – as Weinberg wrote earlier this week – the U.S. is funding small "modular" reactors that will lower the upfront costs of nuclear.
Per Peterson, the University of California Berkeley nuclear engineering head who is a big supporter of alternative nuclear, noted that the U.S. Department of Energy's funding of Babcock & Wilcox's SMR indicates a changing mindset to alternative designs in general.
"If we can generate a market for light-water small modular reactors," Peterson says, "that makes it much easier to develop a market for prototype advanced reactors."
All of these technologies will come with their own technological challenges and criticisms.
A companion piece in Nature raises concerns that someone could irradiate raw thorium into uranium 233 to make a bomb. That prospect strikes us as unlikely since the process would entail exposure to instantly lethal uranium 232 (the opinion essay says the amount would be "minimal" – but a little bit of a lethal thing like U232 is still lethal). A U.S. attempt to make a bomb from U233 in the 1955 Operation Teapot essentially fizzled. Also, the enriched uranium that powers today's reactors can be fashioned into a bomb, so it seems that the same strict regulations that govern its handling should also govern thorium's.
Aside from weapons proliferation issues, as Nature's main story points out, "Reviving the technologies will not be quick or easy. Although the basic designs were worked out decades ago, engineers hoping to put them into practice must develop things such as radiation-resistant materials, more-efficient heat exchangers and improved safety systems — and must then prove to regulators that all these systems will work."
Momentum is slowly building. Peterson – the UC Berkeley developer of alternatives – chaired the annual American Nuclear Society gathering in San Diego, which was full of sessions on high temperature and other unconventional designs.
With publications like Nature – the world's most cited interdisciplinary science publication – on board, the alternatives movement has just come a little closer to the new normal.

Director's Statement, December 2016
As Harvard's research center for North American history, the Warren Center's mission is to advance research and teaching in the broad range of American historical inquiry, and to serve as a nexus for the community of Americanists at Harvard and in the Boston area. The Warren Center has, over the past fifty years, brought hundreds of faculty and postdoctoral fellows to Harvard, and awarded significant funds to generations of Harvard students, both undergraduate and graduate. The Center also hosts public lectures, and sponsors conferences, symposia, and the occasional publishing project.
The Warren Center is now home to two fellowship programs. 2016-17 marks the third year of a new postdoctoral fellowship on Global American Studies. And, 2016-17 also features "Imagining History, Doing Politics: The Uses and Disadvantages of the Past" as the theme of our annual faculty fellowship organized around a broad theme in American history.

Military personnel are contributing more money to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama than to his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain. According to a nonpartisan group, the Center for Responsible Politics, which tracks donations to political candidates, 859 servicemen have contributed a combined total of $335,536 to Obama which is an average of $391 a person. In comparison, 558 servicemen have contributed a combined total of $280,513 to Senator McCain which averages to $503 per person. Surprisingly, a close third in contributions is Rep. Ron Paul who has received $232,411 in contributions. However, is one examines addresses of those who sent contributions, Senator McCain trails far behind those who sent money from current overseas bases.
Overall, the number of military personnel actually giving money is a relatively small in comparison to the 1.5 million who are serving in the armed forces.

sounds painful, did you do it training?!
Pain is only temporary
Ouch! Hope you heal up soon
An awful injury, sorry to hear about that!

How bad is it?
Would it help if we stopped asking you questions requieing you to type?
Seriously, I hope it's not a bad break.
Cagewarriors Sexiest Poster 2006
I fractured mine back in 'nov last year,, got A permanent lump on it nowjust over the shoulder. It hurts still if you push down on it which is litteraly a pain when rolling! Thing is, I think you can stretch the ligaments where the muscle attaches to it if it doesnt heal perfectly straight and that hurts for a while. Not alot the hospital does either, unless its properly snapped. Hope yours gets better soon, you will have to watch it for a while rolling and boxing.
Dude hope u get better soon, injuries sucks
I love hitting people, its one of my favourite past times!!!
woke up this morning and I can type with two hands again!!! For short periods of time at least. after about 10 minutes it starts to hurt and i have to take a break but yeah, pretty pumped.
and it was a clean break of the collarbone.

Procedures & Costs
The experience and perspective of the site visit team can help you bring your facility's current strengths into better focus and pinpoint changes you can make to increase recruitment and retention of women faculty, students, and employees. All of the team's findings are confidential.
The site visit is initiated by an invitation from the department chair or director of the laboratory and normally lasts one day. A team leader will be appointed for the site visit, a woman physicist with experience on other site visits.The department chair/lab director and the team leader will decide upon a convenient date for the visit.
The Site Visit Team
Two to four additional physicists will be selected to participate on the visit.The team leader will consult with the department chair/lab director regarding any special characteristics of the department/lab, and will make every effort to choose team members from the same geographical area as the department to minimize travel costs. Occasionally, a social scientist may be added to the team to contribute their expertise to the discussion.
Preparation by the Department
Information regarding the site visit program will be sent to the department in advance of the visit. The department or laboratory will be asked to provide information, including enrollment statistics by gender, faculty roster, recent hiring activity, recruiting brochures, and family leave policies.During the visit, meetings may be requested with the following:
- Department chair/lab director
- Female faculty in the department/women in the lab
- Female graduate and undergraduate students
- Administrators (Dean, Provost, President)
- Graduate and undergraduate advisers
- Other groups, such as female postdocs and staff
Prior to the visit, APS will administer survey questionnaires to graduate and undergraduate students and/or lab employees.The results of the surveys, as well as any written comments, are then provided to the site visit team to assist them in preparing for the visit.All survey results are confidential to the team.
The site visit team ordinarily conducts an exit interview with the department chair or lab director to render a preliminary report of its findings. A confidential written report to the chair/lab director will be produced by the team after the visit. No information specific to the institution, including the survey results, is made public. The chair/lab director will be asked to report back to the site visit team leader 18 months after the visit, describing changes which have occurred as a result of the visit.
Expenses for the visit (i.e., travel costs for team members and lodging for the team) are the responsibility of the host institution.All members of site visit teams serve as volunteers. There is a $1120 charge per site visit to offset costs associated with programming and tabulating student surveys.There is also a $200 charge per visit for APS administrative staff time. Department chairs are urged to request support for the visit from the administrative officer responsible for the recruitment and retention of under-represented groups.
For more information about the Climate for Women Site Visit program, contact:

Why is there no challenger for Skyrim?

There is no competition for the elder scrolls games, because they're in a league of their own. It is a masterpiece series. Well things like factions could be fleshed out a little bit better as time has gone on, still the ruler comes exploration and more importantly, lore. If you want to immerse yourself in a game world mythology, religion, and culture, Elder scrolls is the way to go. That said, the series is gotten stronger and ironically weaker at the same time in different ways, but still I don't think they have a true competitor. Part of that success has to do with the world editor, and the ability to literally do anything you want through that. No other the game offers that experience.
Two worlds I would say is the closest, with Gothic. Two worlds more for the exploration, Gothic more when it comes to the great lore as well. I am curious tho, if Gothic or two worlds had the same editor functionality, what that effect would be in the long run?

Posted by Carlton Doty on August 18, 2011
It's a couple of days after Google announced its intentions to jump headfirst into the hardware business. By now everyone — including my colleagues Charles Golvin and John McCarthy — have expressed their thoughts about what this means for Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and all of the Android-based smartphone manufacturers. This is not another one of those blog posts.
What I really want to highlight is something more profound, and more relevant to all of you out there who might classify your day job as "product strategy." To you, the Google/Moto deal is just one signal — however faint — coming through the static noise of today's M&As, IPOs, and new product launches. But if you tune in and listen carefully, two things become crystal clear:
Posted by Christian Kane on August 15, 2011
Google sent shock waves through the mobile world this morning as it announced a planned acquisition of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in cash. The initial commentary has largely focused around Motorola's patent portfolio, how this will affect the other Android manufacturers, and what Google will do with the rest of Moto's hardware business which my colleague John McCarthy summed up nicely in his blog post.
So what kind of an impact does this have on infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals? For the most part, not much of one. I&O professionals are working to make their organizations platform-agnostic by deploying mobile device management (MDM) solutions. For them, Android is only one in an increasingly crowded space of platforms including iOS, Blackberry, and Windows 7 Mobile.
Still, there is one interesting implication in this deal that I&O pros should take note of — Google gets 3LM. Back in February Motorola Mobility acquired 3LM, a startup including former Google employees who worked on Android, which specializes in enterprise security and management software. Rumors had already been flying that some of the 3LM functionality like storage encryption and anti-malware would be included in the next version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich). With 3LM now a part of Google, firms might finally management and security capabilities I&O and security pros have been asking for in Android.

Tomorrow, it will be not only my third gotcha day, but also my first month annifursary at the bridge. Momma has remembered me for the noisy, and playful guy I was. I was always ready to eat! Thinking of me sitting by the window as she drove away, makes mom smile. I know she misses me, but Grammy is taking care of Murphy, Jax & I.
We all love you Mom!
Po po
Mom didn't get to say goodbye. I was hit by a car at the front of our neighborhood. Mom was taking the dogs on a walk and saw me. She dropped to the sidewalk and the pups comforted her until a nice neighbor lady put me in a box with a blankie. Mom is going to burry me in the backyard next to all of her old kitties (Who do not have catsters).
It's been on and off crying all day. I miss you too mom.

Location: Clarence Rogers School Interior. 199 Wilmont Road.
The two mural cycles painted by Great Walls Murals (the team of Wendy Anderson and Nancy Snow) demonstrate how visual art can reinforce core concepts taught at the elementary school level. For example, according to the artists Animals Show Us the Alphabet encourages students to recognize both lower and upper case letters, as well as matching animal names and their activities with the letter they correspond to (for example, "the jaguar is eating jello").
In Pond Life and Animal Homes students can also recognize the water versus land animals, and follow the sequence of events as animals change, such as the caterpillar to butterfly. Showing a cross section of animal homes demonstrates the importance of questioning and looking inside and under things to find out how things "work."
The work was painted freehand by the artists.

Since 1996, Mesa Market Place Swap Meet has been a landmark, and next to Chicago Cubs Spring Training, is one of Phoenix East Valley's most popular shopping destinations. It hit a homerun on its opening weekend, and hasn't slowed down since! Parking is free, admission is free, and live entertainment every day they're open is free in the Food Court. Good musicians perform in the Food Court in the middle of the market. Shoppers linger there because they can enjoy a beer, a meal, a sandwich, or a smoothie and listen to music at the same time. The market attracts avid shoppers, and shoppers who just want to slow down to enjoy the ambiance. There's plenty to do. There is more to see at the market than anyone can see in one day! A single breezeway covers a mile and a quarter of shopping lanes. 900 merchants stock 1600 shops. The place is enormous. The pace is relaxed, the merchants are friendly, and there are lots of places to sit and people-watch. Mesa Market Place is not a 'Let's visit the market place once a year;' roadside attraction. It's where locals and tourists alike find value on an ongoing basis. Mesa Market Place has become today's shopping mall! Mesa Market Place Swap Meet is busiest during the valley's winter season. Their parking lot is about 40 acres, and it's full all day! In addition to attracting regular shoppers, it's a tourist magnet. Local families bring in visiting relatives. Cubs Spring Training seems to be good for the market. And large groups of tourists arrive on tour buses. Souvenir shopping is a must-do for most out-of-town shoppers. They'll find traditional, unusual, and even one-of-a-kind finds in all price ranges from just a few dollars ranging up to museum-quality pottery and jewelry pieces costing thousands of dollars. Today's Mesa Market Place merchants are independent business people selling today's high quality, fashionable, and hip clothing and accessories, shoes, home decor, backyard furnishings, landscaping and built-in barbeques. Furnishing a kitchen? They've got kitchen furnishings including lifetime cookware, 'As seen on TV' inventions, and great knives. Their shops are relaxed, engaging and personalized. The hunt for the right find is as satisfying as a Treasure Hunt. A day here is well spent. The Food Court is a starting point for many shoppers. Breakfast coupons for $2 or less (for a $4.50 breakfast) are out there and on their website for a Roadrunner Breakfast: Two eggs, toast, hash browns and coffee. Hundreds of shoppers take advantage of the great breakfast, and then launch out to visit as much of the market as they can cover in a day. Breakfast is served from 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Lunch, pizza, deli sandwiches and snacks after that until closing. Smoothies, breakfast burritos and lots of side choices are also available. Hot cheese steak Philly sandwich and beef gyros run about $5 and are favorite lunch staples. You'll also find deli sandwiches, pizza, and salads.

Do you have a Word 2007 file or template containing a date that you must change every time you use it?
When you get to that point what happens?
I don't know about you but more times then I'd like I'm either digging out a calendar or going to the one on my computer. Either way, it's annoying.
And what about all those times when you've seen someone put the wrong day with a date… confusing for the reader and embarrassing to the writer. Don't we all hope that we're never the writer?
Wouldn't it be great if we could simply choose the correct date… like you do so often on the internet?
Well, sometimes great things do happen because that's exactly what we're going to look at today – MS Word 2007's Date Picker.
First, you'll need the Developer tab of the Ribbon displayed. If you don't have it already then here are the steps you need to take:
Office Button
Word Options button
Choose the Popular category in the Options dialog box. (Left side)
Check the option to "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon".
Click OK.
Now, back to the business at hand… at this point you need to place the cursor at the location where you want the Date Picker inserted into the document.
Next we're off to the Developer tab.
You need to locate the Date Picker button in the Controls section.
Click it.
Voila! No more searching elsewhere for the correct date every time you use that file or template. Simply click the down arrow and choose the date right there inside of Word.

Vintage Elvis Presley Records
In the 1950s, selling singles was a bigger deal for up-and-coming rock 'n' rollers than selling albums. That's where the money was, and the biggest moneymaker of the second half of the decade was Elvis Presley.
Presley's first singles, in 45 and 78 RPM formats, were released by Sun Records. Few logos in popular music are as iconic as the crowing rooster on the yellow Sun label, especially if the name of the artist at the bottom of that label is a guy named Elvis Presley.
The first Presley single for Sun was "That's All Right" in 1954. With Sam Phillips at the mixing board, Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Bill Black on upright bass, and Presley on vocals and rhythm guitar, the trio recorded the track live in the studio, with no overdubs or even drums. The single's B-side was a Bill Monroe bluegrass tune from the 1940s called "Blue Moon of Kentucky."
Two more Sun singles followed that year, with another pair in 1955, for a total of five Sun singles containing 10 songs. RCA re-released them all when it paid Sam Phillips $35,000 for Presley's contract. Dozens more RCA singles were released throughout the 1950s, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Don't Be Cruel," and "Hound Dog" from 1956, and "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock" from 1957—all of these charted at number-one.
RCA kept Presley busy recording albums, too. Elvis Presley in 1956 came first. It included covers of "Blue Suede Shoes" by Carl Perkins and "I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles, as well as a Rogers and Hart tune from the 1930s called "Blue Moon." The album reached number-one on the charts, as did the next two Presley albums for RCA (Elvis' Christmas Album from 1957 has sold more than 9-million copies and remains the best-selling Christmas album ever recorded).
Presley was drafted in 1958 and served in the Army for two years, leaving with an honorable discharge in 1960 as a sergeant. During that time, RCA continued to release Presley records. The soundtrack for King Creole came out during this time, as did four compilations and half a dozen EPs.
But the things that kept Presley's flame alive were the singles. "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck" was released in April of 1958, just weeks after Presley reported for duty at Fort...
Another collectible genre of Presley records are the soundtracks for movies the singer made from 1956 (Love Me Tender) to 1969 (Change of Habit). Jailhouse Rock from 1957 can be found as an EP, with five tracks, including the Leiber and Stoller penned title. Parts of G.I. Blues were filmed when Presley was still stationed in West Germany, and the film and soundtrack (vintage vinyl collectors can acquire all 10 versions) were both huge hits when they were released in the summer of 1960.
But the biggest music-movie crossover hit for Presley was Viva Las Vegas, which was released in 1964 as an EP of four songs, none of which, astoundingly, was the title track. Presley's single of the Ray Charles hit "What'd I Say," which was also in the film, actually features the movie's title track as its B-side.

Apple's iPhone 'X' might cost as much as a MacBook
FOX NEWS - Apple's radical new iPhone may come with a $1,000 price tag.
Or an even bigger price tag. Apple's 2017 premium iPhone – which some Wall Street analysts are calling the "iPhone X" with "X" designating the 10th anniversary of the iPhone – could be priced at over $1,000.
That argument was made this week by Fast Company. In fact, that case – as Fast Company points out – isn't very hard to make, considering the top-of-the-line iPhone 7 Plus today, with 256GB of storage, has a retail price of $969.
But the $1,000-plus price would cement, if accurate, an upward trend in Apple iPhone pricing. If, for example, the priciest 2017 iPhone falls somewhere in the $1,000 to $1,200 range, that would put it squarely in MacBook Air territory. Apple's popular MacBook line starts at $999.
"The OLED display will definitely be very expensive," Daniel Matte, an analyst with market researcher Canalys, told Fox News in an email. Matte is referring to the centerpiece of the rumored premium iPhone, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. That display technology would allow Apple to offer a curved display, analogous to Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge.

Search For Bigfoot In Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane woman out for a day hike along the Spokane river claims to have proof of the mysterious and elusive Bigfoot.
Samantha, who did not give her last name, and her friends were hiking at Downriver Park over the weekend when they captured Bigfoot by using their iPhone camera.
Samantha posted a YouTube video of the creature a few days later.
In her post, Samantha said she didn't notice Bigfoot until she looked at her video when she got home.
So, far more than 1,500 people have viewed the video online.
"Someone asked me in the comments section if I believed in Bigfoot before the video," wrote Samantha in an e-mail to KXLY.
"I have never given it much thought, but now I'm not so sure. Seem real enough to me," she said.
KXLY showed the video to several students and staff at Spokane Community College, where the school mascot is Bigfoot himself.
"Looks like just a normal person to me," said Margaret Clarke, a student at SCC.
"I think there is something big and hairy walking around out there like that," said Ryan Constable, a freshman at SCC.
Adam Sharp, Professor of Theatre and Film Arts, said he's seen Bigfoot linger around campus a time or two.
"We do get messages from him, from the faculty and staff," said Sharp.
"But he's pretty elusive; he doesn't like the spotlight a whole lot," he laughed.

At a time when spy stories still clung to cloak-and-dagger melodrama, Eric Ambler called his 1937 classic Epitaph for a Spy "a mild attempt at realism." From 1936 to 1940, between world wars, he wrote six such novels which portrayed the world as morally ambiguous and filled with deception and danger. Epitaph for a Spy and A Coffin for Dimitrius are notable examples of the first modern suspense novel. Journey into Fear, which was turned into a movie by Orson Welles, has recently been re-issued by Penguin Modern Classics.

Why the 'New Normal' Is Getting OldBy
Three years ago, Pimco, the Jupiter-proportioned bond manager, famously diagnosed the low-growth, high-unemployment economic sobriety of the times as the New Normal. The timing of the communiqué was rather perfect: Joblessness and per capita self-doubt were soaring, while the stock market had just visited levels unseen since the mid-1990s. We were urged to get used to all this as an inexorable, chronically harsh reality. "It's time to grow up and become a chastened adult," wrote Pimco founder Bill Gross. "It's time to recognize that things have changed and that they will continue to change for the next—yes, the next 10 years and maybe even the next 20 years." Doubt pays: Thanks to the global macroeconomic dislocations of the past 40 months, and investors' record ardor for bond funds, Pimco has since swelled from $800 billion in assets under management to $1.8 trillion.
Still, this is not to say that the New Normal prophecy, which Gross first made in May 2009, has been spot on. It has certainly enjoyed spurts of vindication, like last year's U.S. credit downgrade; record-low Treasury yields and some negative interest rates; and unemployment remaining this high this long for the widest stretch since the 1950s, despite the Federal Reserve's unprecedented stimulus campaign. After posting a bum 2011, Pimco's $270 billion Total Return Bond Fund has resumed its category-killing ways; Gross and Co. know how to put a fresh buck to work. But as more market and economic readings revert to old, familiar normalcies, Pimco finds itself tacking explanatory asterisks onto its original prediction. Is it maybe time to retire the New Normal phrase—now overused past the point of cliché—altogether?
Consider the data points. Since May 2009, amid a period of consistently lackluster economic growth, the S&P 500 has staged a 60 percent run. Last month, Gross chimed in to throw fresh doubt on the dependability of equity returns, arguing that past long-term outperformance was a fluke that defied the laws of economic physics—a disconnect that was unlikely to resume in this chastened day and age. "The cult of equity," he wrote, "is dying."
That position drew criticism from an unlikely corner: Boston-based GMO, the big asset manager headed by the consistently sober Jeremy Grantham. Last month, Ben Inker, the group's head of asset allocation, penned a white paper (pdf) in which he wrote, "Disappointing returns from equity markets over a period of time should not be viewed as a signal of the 'death of equities.' Such losses are necessary for overpriced equity markets to revert to sustainable levels, and are therefore a necessary condition for the long-term return to equities to be stable." He then presented data on the relationship of stock returns with economic growth. "In short," he wrote, "there isn't one. Stock returns do not require a particular level of GDP growth, nor does a particular level of GDP growth imply anything about stock market returns."
Today, Gross responded with a commentary that essentially says: Don't get me wrong—both stock and bond returns were likely to disappoint in this stingier era. Still, he wrote, "If I were an individual investor, I would do this: Balance your asset mix according to your age. Own more stocks if you are young, but more bonds if you are in your 60s, like myself." In other words, follow that old personal finance rule of thumb.
On Tuesday, James Paulsen of Wells Capital Management, brandished boffo auto sales data—consistent with cyclical snapbacks during the past 30 years—as a "reminder that some things are 'normal' about this recovery." He wrote: "Despite all the angst surrounding this economic recovery, chronic suggestions the U.S. consumer would take years before returning to normal spending patterns (particularly as it regarded big-ticket durable goods) and despite the Cash-for-Clunkers program pulling future sales forward, the contemporary U.S. automobile recovery has been every bit as good (or same old-normal) as either the early 1980s or early-1990 recoveries. … This important part of the US economy is doing … well, quite 'normally'!"
Household deleveraging, a painful fact of life in the New Normalcy, continues. But at the same time, corporate releveraging has been all the rage—so great are the terms and so desperate are investors for yield. Since the end of August 2008, the face value of debt in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch global index has jumped to $3.4 trillion, from $2.15 trillion.
Back to existential-economic navel-gazing. When does it get back to normal? Is what we're in actually normal? Was it ever normal? Name that year. In the meantime, NBC is about to introduce a series called The New Normal. When and if it gets cancelled, Bill Gross might wish to do the same for his catch phrase.

From a ShelterBox press release:
Katherine Fick, a Boston-based attorney and resident of Boston, Mass., has been selected as a member of the ShelterBox Response Team (SRT), a group of highly-trained volunteers who deliver aid to survivors of natural and other disasters around the world with international disaster relief organization, ShelterBox.
ShelterBox provides humanitarian aid—emergency tented shelter and other supplies, such as stoves, blankets and water filtration systems, among other tools to help families rebuild their lives after losing their homes and possessions following a disaster such as earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict.
Fick and 14 other candidates from the United States, England, Germany and New Zealand, successfully completed the nine-day selection and training course recently held by the ShelterBox International Academy of Disaster Relief near the organization's global headquarters in Cornwall, England.
The course included a combination of classroom modules and field simulations, testing the knowledge and skills of the candidates and preparing them for deployment. The course is both mentally and physically challenging to create an environment where candidates can be evaluated under similar situations they may encounter while delivering aid in the immediate aftermath of disaster.
Being an in-house attorney for IBM allows Fick to work with colleagues and customers around the world.
"A senior colleague and I were able to establish ShelterBox's relationship with IBM in 2011," said Fick, a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School.
"Since that time, it has been fantastic to work with ShelterBox while spreading the word about the organization to colleagues and friends. Becoming a ShelterBox Response Team member appeals to my interest in providing direct assistance to those in need."

PURCHASE LINE — Fifteen sophomores were selected from Purchase Line to attend the Kiwanis Leadership Conference at the Indiana Country Club March 26. Five other schools in Indiana County were present at the workshop, making the total number of students in attendance 85.
The sophomores from Purchase Line that were selected were Caleb Brady, Gregory Boring, Jessie Boyle, Benjamin Crawford, Phoenix Goss, Brianne Guzman, Kelsee Lazor, Sierra Misko, Carly Mumau, Jonah Nichols, Kelly Pierce, Alden Sink, Sarah Smith, Mikhala Stover and Logan White.

(Submitted photo/Purchase Line High School)]
Students arrived at school and immediately signed out of homeroom to meet in the library and wait for the bus. After arriving at the country club, students were given name tags with their name, school and a number. The number given was their table number, and they were dispersed throughout the room and mingled in with sophomores from other schools.
The workshop began with introductions from the present Kiwanis members, followed by a short speech from Bruce Jenkins, Kiwanis Club president. The event was moderated by Dr. Timothy Runge of the Kiwanis Circle-K advisory.
Circle-K members from Indiana University of Pennsylvania were also present and helped create an "icebreaker" game. They constructed a maze with yarn and instructed students to get into two lines. Going one line at a time, anywhere from one to three people were blindfolded and forced to rely on the others in the line to completely make it through the maze.
After the icebreaker, Marlene Jenkins, from Total Coverage Inc., spoke to the group of students about "the river of life" and the strategies and plans you need to create to successfully get where you want to be in life.
She also conducted an activity where the team at each table was given eight papers, "stepping stones," and had conditions and obstacles to move around in order to get across the river of life.
This activity was meant to exercise the strategy and planning skills of the students.
After those fun activities, the workshop took a more serious turn. Dr. Ralph May, from the Community Guidance Center, spoke to the students about the topic of suicide.
Several papers were distributed and he explained the mind's process before suicide and how it is caused by depression. May said that depression is an illness to be treated just as you would any other physical illness. He feels strongly on the topic and believes if you see anyone who shows signs of depression, it is important that you find them help.
A lunch break was held after those activities.
After lunch, Tom Baker, president of Baker Leadership and author of three books, came to speak.
He started with a "link" activity, where he expressed his interests, and then a student who shared an interest came up and they linked arms, and that student expressed a few interests, and so on, until the link stretched across the room. He then spoke about what students can do now and in the future to help better the community and themselves.
He also gave away free books to select students for sharing their opinions when he asked questions. Purchase Line's Gregory Boring received one of his books, titled "Get Involved."
The workshop ended with a survey and a short dismissal speech from Jenkins. It is hoped the students who attended take away skills and knowledge to help them become better leaders.
Kelly Pierce said, "It was a worthwhile experience because you got to hear from many people who themselves were leaders and became successful. Also, you were able to meet people like you from other places."
Students craft shelves
Industrial arts teacher David Small's wood technology III class was asked by librarian Dennis Preisser to take the existing library shelves and make them wider, with a slant so students can view magazines more easily.
"I'm impressed by their willingness to dedicate their time and talent for community service projects like this," said Preisser. The project also made room for other magazines just sitting on the rack.
"Using the existing shelves is more of a go green approach as well as teaching the students the problem solving process," added Small.
[ALTERNATE PHOTO (click to view): Dylan Hart, a junior, and seniors Rodney Wagner and Ethan Koziel, at Purchase Line High School, held the frame for the map of Pennsylvania they made for the high school library during their wood technology III class. Behind them are the finished shelves that they made out of salvage materials from old shelves. (Submitted photo/Purchase Line High School)]
According to Small, the reason he has students doing school projects is so that they can give back to the school.
"It gives the students real-world problems that they may face in the work field," added Small.
Seniors Rodney Wagner and Ethan Koziel, along with junior Dylan Hart, were finished with their projects and took on the challenge.
"We are cutting the shelves in half and gluing the middle piece to make it longer," added Hart.
The students had to build shelves with combinations that are set for pins.
Also, "Their ideas and suggestions to step it up a notch made the project really fit in with the rest of this beautiful library," added Preisser.
According to Hart, he built on and used skills learned throughout the years in wood technology classes.
It took precise measuring and calculating skills in order to build the shelves.
Koziel thought the hardest task was "gluing it together so it's level."
Wagner added, "It makes you feel like a good person when helping others."
According to Koziel, it is a double win. "It gives us something to do and it's helping out the school," he said.
The class was also asked to help make a 2x6-inch table to make one of the props higher.
Hart added, "We're doing something good for the school."
Magazines such as Consumer Reports, Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, Handyman, Dirt Rider and Bugel are available for students to read on the new shelves.

Best soulful-house parties
Wed Apr 8 2009
Soulful house—the kind that came of age at spots like the Paradise Garage, the Shelter and Newark's Zanzibar—is, along with hip-hop, the sound that the world most associates with New York's nightlife scene. Twenty years after its birth, the emotion-drenched, R&B--based end of the house spectrum is still supplying the soundtrack to our clubbing world, and here are the top parties where you can to find it.
- Body & Soul
New York veterans Joe Claussell, Franois K and Danny Krivit pack the massive dance floor of Webster Hall's main room with deep and soulful house, classics, Afro-Latin rhythms and anything else they feel like at their ever popular monthly Sunday tea dance. Webster Hall, 125 E 11th St between Third and Fourth Aves (212-353-1600)
- 718 Sessions
If soulful disco and R&B-based house are Gotham's gift to the dance-music universe, then Danny Krivit is the city's top Santa Claus. It doesn't matter that the party bounces from venue to venue: Wherever it ends up, it's one of the best shindigs in town. Santos Party House, 100 Lafayette St at Walker St (212-714-4646)
- Roots
Masters at Work's Louie Vega and Blaze's Kevin Hedge—two guys who have long been fighting to keep the soul in NYC's club scene—dig through their collections every Wednesday at Cielo and spin the music that got us here. Cielo, 18 Little W 12th St between Ninth Ave and Washington St (212-645-5700, cieloclub.com)
- Soulgasm
House, funk, soul and old-school hip-hop spurt from East Village hangout Sin Sin's two floors, with DJ Brian Coxx New York (as opposed to the techno Bryan Cox and the hip-hop Bryan Cox, both of whom are missing that extra-x oomph) and his guests working the ones and twos. Live percussion helps juice up the evening. For more info, go to myspace.com/soulgasmnyc. Sin Sin 85 Second Ave at 5th St (212-253-2222)
- Deepa
The Deepa clan tosses a monthly house-music gala at Public Assembly, featuring residents Brian Burnside, Marc Bartolomeo and guests spinning deep and soulful house, with the occasional teched-up tune and classic tossed into the mix. Public Assembly, 70 North 6th St between Kent and Wythe Aves, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-782-5188)

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Boston College charged to the end of the 2009 portion of the schedule with five consecutive wins, no losses in seven games (6-0-1), and only one in 10 (8-1-1). With two wins this week, over Hardvard and Providence, the Eagles are now the highest rated Hockey East team at #5, up five spots from last week. UMass-Lowell, the poll's previous HEA leader, fell five spots from nine to 14 with a weekend split with Princeton. Miami remained #1, but tightened their grip with 48 of 50 first place votes while second place Denver got the other votes. Colorado College is third, up three spots, followed by Cornell, up one. Hockey East continues to clog the second half of the poll as UMass follows the River Hawks at 15 and UNH is right behind them at 16.
The first half is just about over as only five games will be played this week, and only one with Hockey East ties as Vermont and Dartmouth with tangle. The schedule will pick up on December 29 with Holiday Tournaments. The rest of the action last week saw UNH beat Providence, Maine beat Northeastern, and UMass topped Merrimack in conference. Vermont beat St. Lawrence and Rensselaer dropped Boston University in two HEA-ECAC battles. BU and Northeastern continue their disappointing seasons, following last year's success.
Nearing the halfway point in conference play, UNH is the leader with 18 points (8-2-2) followed by BC with 16 (7-3-2) and surprising Maine is three off the lead with 15 points (7-4-1). There is a little separation at fourth where UMass sits with 12 points (6-4-0) and UMass-Lowell right behind them with 11 (5-4-1) to round out the top half. Vermont has 10 points (4-5-2) and Northeastern is one behind them (4-7-1) and one up on Merrimack (4-6-0). BU, with six points (2-7-2), and Providence, at five (2-7-1), would miss the playoffs if they started today.

An Indian schoolgirl whose face looks down from posters at Wimbledon has been chosen to spin the coin before Sunday's final.
Pinki Sonkar hopes to be standing alongside Andy Murray, one of the few stars she has heard of.
The 11-year-old's smiling face adorns posters at Wimbledon Station to publicise the charity Smile Train.
She was born with a cleft lip and was the butt of cruel taunts before the charity, which raises funds to help doctors perform corrective surgery, stepped in to help.
