It was bound to happen.
After Joel Ward was whistled for a 4-minute high-sticking penalty with 21.3 seconds remaining in regulation of the Washington Capitals' 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Monday night, Twitter rumbled.
With Ward in the penalty box and the Caps leading 2-1, the Rangers went on a 6-0n-4 power play and Brad Richards tied the game in regulation with only 6.6. seconds left. Then, with Ward still in the box, Rangers defenseman Marc Staal scored the game-winner at 1:35 of overtime, sending the fans at Madison Square Garden into delirium.
Twitter erupted.
The typical cowards, spewing racially charged messages toward Washington's black winger, were present like they were after Ward lifted the Capitals to a Game 7 victory against the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins in the opening round.
A user named @C_Flight14 (who has since deactivated his account) gained the most traction with this tweet captured by another user: WARNING, explicit content linked.
And unfortunately, many echoed that tone: EXPLICIT
Others attempted to make light of racism.
There was also a crush of support for the Canadian from teammates – as you would expect – and fans.
The Toronto Maple Leafs' Tyler Bozak shared his thoughts.
The New York Times' Chris Botta commented on Ward's post-game behavior.
The Capitals' fan site "Rock the Red" gave Ward its support as well.
One of the few black players in the NHL, Ward was attacked with ugly, racist tweets after he scored the game-winner in the Caps' Game 7 overtime victory against the Bruins in their opening-round series. There were similarities Monday evening as Ward was called the "N"-word and other insults as the Caps fell into a 3-2 hole against the Rangers in their best-of-seven series. Game 6 is set for Wednesday night in Washington.
BUZZER-BEATER: Rangers stun Capitals in OT after late tying goal
UGLY SIDE OF SPORTS: Ward's game-winner against Bruins unleashes racist tweets
Ward, a Canadian whose parents are from Barbados, was a stand-up guy after Thursday night's loss, answering questions in the visiting team's locker room at MSG rather than hiding in the training room as many pro athletes do after making a mistake that cost their teams a game.

Hooker woe for Munster as Sherry out for six months
Munster are facing into the new season without an experienced hooker after Ireland international Mike Sherry was ruled out for six months with a shoulder injury.
Sherry decided to undergo surgery on a troublesome shoulder problem last January while he was recovering from a knee ligament injury, but during a routine check-up he was told that his shoulder graft hadn't knitted properly and that he must restart the process.
Sherry started last season vying with Damien Varley for the starting hooker's jersey, but Varley has also been ruled out of Munster opening Guinness Pro12 game against Edinburgh as he rests an ongoing foot problem.
Third choice hooker Duncan Casey, who impressed last season, looks set to miss Munster first pre-season game against Gloucester this Saturday as he ramps up his pre-season work, while young No 2 Niall Scannell will miss the next month because of a wrist injury.
With four of his leading hookers out of action Foley has called up Kevin O'Bryne from UL Bohs and Gerry Slattery from Young Munster, but he admits the loss of Sherry for the rest of the year is a huge blow.
"Mike Sherry is gone for six months. He went under the knife again last week, the shoulder graft didn't take and he had to get it redone. Unfortunately Mike is out for another five to six months.
"It a huge blow for everyone, but personally for Mike, we'll look after him, it's important to us.
"He's an integral part of our squad and for a guy to be out for that length of time, you know it's not good. But he's a Munster players, he's been brought up and brought through here so we have to look after him.
"Kevin has been with us all pre-season because of the Damien Varley and Niall Scannell situation. When Mike's issue raised its head a couple of weeks ago we brought in Gerry Slattery into our squad.
"Those two boys have fitted in well, they understand Munster, they understand what we're about. It's all about managing the situation, it's not about getting panicky.
"We do understand that there are serious injuries (there), but we just have to manage that," said Foley, who look set to run his eye over more than 25 players in the weekend's clash with Gloucester at Kingsholm.
Also on the injury front, there was more bad news for Keith Earls who picked up a knee injury training with Ireland last week, and he will also miss the start of the season.
Foley was reluctant to put a comeback date on Donnacha Ryan's foot injury, but he said the utility forward would be given as much time as he needs to set aside his continuing problem, while captain Peter O'Mahony has yet to return to contact work after shoulder surgery.
"Donnacha Ryan is back running, he's progressing the whole time. Its something we don't want to rush. It's a foot/toe problem, so the whole time, every week he's getting closer and closer.
"We've just got to remain patient with that because he's a quality player and he's a player we want to get back into our squad as quickly as possible. But we do understand that if we give him time now we'll get more out of him later on.
"Peter is coming every week, he's hungry to get involved. He is doing the skills training sessions with us, but he hasn't taken part in our squad days at all yet, but he's coming.
"It's sometime in October he's scheduled to come back. He is a guy we want to get right as well, but now's the time for him to get right as well.
"Keith picked up a little problem with his knee above in Irish camp last week and it's going to take four or five weeks for it to mend.
"But these are things...we've got two weeks of pre-season games and then we're into our league. If we can take the hit now on some of these injuries we'll take the hit now and take the benefit of it later.
"If you try and force things now you may give a fella a stop-start season. What we want to do is get a fella running into the season. We'll take a bit of a hit at the moment and hopefully we get the benefits later on," Foley added.
But in the midsts of all the bad injury news, there was some positivity about Gerhardt van den Heever and Luke O'Dea, who both got positive feedback on knee injury concerns although they still aren't ready to train fully..
There were fears that Van den Heever could be set for a lengthy time on the sidelines after he injured his knee playing in the Munster 7s competition, but after a visit to the Santry Sports Clinic on Monday, he was given the all clear to return in 'three to four weeks', while O'Dea will return a week sooner.

(November 1999)
Hi again, Actually, I have never used an autodialler. I call collect until I get bored of doing it. Usually, my main strategy is to contact the ISP. They are usually very helpful. I should mention though that sometimes the strategy can be a bit stronger than intended. On one occasion, an ISP in the NW deleted an entire company's e-mail accounts and web pages, due to one employee's spamming activity. I bet that didn't do much for the persons employment prospects. I felt slightly bad for the other employees though. The goal here though is simple -- make the cost of spamming very high. All the best, Istvan -- Istvan S. N.

Forget Bill Clinton and Clint Eastwood: The biggest draw at the political conventions turned out to be Vice President Biden.
Nearly 15% of all TV viewers tuned in to Biden's speech at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, more than those who watched President Obama and Mitt Romney, according to a new analysis by Nielsen, the ratings company. Biden got a boost from people over 55 years old, with slightly more than 27% of this group watching his speech on Sept. 6 accepting the VP nomination.
Among the presidential candidates, Obama had a slight edge over Romney. Nielsen found about 14% of all TV viewers watched the president, compared with about 13% for his GOP rival.
Now, about those special big-name speakers at the party confabs. Clinton drew more TV viewers than Eastwood and did better than the actor-director among women, men and people of all age groups, according to the Nielsen data.
Still, the overall trend for political convention viewership on TV is slipping. About 6 in 10 U.S. households -- roughly 65.4 million homes -- watched at least one of the party gatherings this year. That's down from 73.2 million homes in 2008, Nielsen says.

You sure it's not an internal usb component? What does fdisk -l give you?
Hi there..
I have installed BT2 FINAL on a usb stick live and i'm having problems with the internal bluetooth adapter on my laptop.
When i'm using hciconfig it only shows me the usb stick as hci0 and nothing else!
Why it recognizes a usb stick as a bluetooth device??
What i should do to enable the real internal bluetooth adapter??
If anyone could help i would apriciate!
You sure it's not an internal usb component? What does fdisk -l give you?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

April 2010 was the hottest April ever recorded, with an average temperature of 14.5 degrees celsius (58.1 degrees Fahrenheit), the UN weather agency said Tuesday.
Citing data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the World Meteorological Organisation said that the average temperature on both land and ocean this April reached 0.76 degrees Celsius above that of the 20th century average of 13.7 degree Celsius.
A statement from the US agency noted that warmer-than-normal conditions "dominated the globe, with the most prominent warmth in Canada, Alaska, the eastern United States, Australia, South Asia, northern Africa and northern Russia."
Weather records go as far back as 1880.

The unseeded Krajicek appeared uncomfortable from the start and had 12 double faults in the first set.
After a lucky shot gave Mutis a break in the ninth game, the Dutchman appeared set to break back at 0-40 in the tenth. Mutis rallied to win six points out of seven and take the set.
Krajicek held two set points at 6-5 in the second, but couldn't control his service returns. Mutis raced to 6-2 lead in the tiebreaker and secured a second-round berth with an ace.
Krajicek's coach, Rohan Goetzke, said this might have been the player's last chance to play at Wimbledon, which he won in 1996.
"Richard only has one dream, and that's to play good next week at Wimbledon. Again, the elbow's not allowing him to do that," Goetski said.
In other matches, top-seeded Jiri Novak beat Jurgen Melzer 6-1, 6-3; and fifth-seeded Sebastien Grosjean, who lost to Andy Roddick in the final of the Queen's Club on Sunday, overcame a loss in the first set and beat German qualifier Philipp Petzschner 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Jan Vacek defeated Anthony Dupuis 7-6 (7-2), 6-3.
And in the women's competition, third-seeded Amelie Mauresmo overcame a loss in the first set to beat Marion Bartoli, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, and fifth-seeded Nadia Petrova defeated Angelique Widjaja, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
French Open finalist Kim Clijsters' match against Cara Black was postponed due to rain.
Rusedski surprised by progress of his net game
NOTTINGHAM, England — Greg Rusedski beat third-seeded Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-4 Tuesday to advance to the second round of the Samsung Open.
Rusedski, who has overcome knee, foot and neck injuries, is playing in just his fourth tournament of the year.
"I think I'm getting better with every match I'm playing, and I'm really happy with that sort of performance, especially with the movement at the net," said Rusedski, a U.S. Open finalist in 1997. "I would not have said I would be playing this well this soon."
In other matches in the grass-court tuneup for Wimbledon, defending champion Jonas Bjorkman beat second-seeded Mikhail Youzhny 6-2, 6-0, and top-seeded Younes El Aynaoui defeated Alexander Waske 7-6 (7-2), 6-4.
Seventh-seeded Taylor Dent beat Brian Vahaly 6-4, 6-4, and sixth-seeded Max Mirnyi defeated Robby Ginepri 6-3, 6-4.
Maleeva turns back Raymond at Eastbourne
EASTBOURNE, England — Magdalena Maleeva beat Lisa Raymond 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, 6-4 Tuesday to advance to the second round of the Eastbourne grass-court championship.
Maleeva, seeded eighth and coming off a victory at last week's DFS Classic, needed more than 2 1/2 hours to defeat Raymond.
Maleeva held five set points before the first set was decided by tiebreaker. She held two set points when leading 5-2, but dropped her serve at 5-3, and then led the tiebreaker 6-3.
Raymond charged to a 2-0 lead in the second set, but Maleeva won six of the next seven games to even the match. In the third set, Maleeva recovered a break of serve in the third game to tie the set at level at 2-all.
Maleeva broke again for the match at the end of a frantic rally, forcing Raymond to net a forehand.
"I thought we both hit some great shots," Maleeva said. "We had some amazing points. It was very difficult to have only one day after winning a tournament. More than anything, mentally you're tired and I think it showed in the tiebreaker when I was up 6-3 and I played two very loose points."
In other early matches in the last grass-court warmup for Wimbledon, Anna Pistolesi beat Eleni Daniilidou 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), and Tamarine Tanasugarn defeated Elena Bovina 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-4.

The Surgery
As you know last monday I got home after 13 days in the hospital to rebuild my thigh bone broken in 2 parts with pieces everywhere. The surgery was difficult and 3 hours long, after it I had many complications: temperature, anaemia (I needed 5 transfusions), colitis and an inflammation of the bladder for the catheter.
How happened? I was coming back from work and, as usual, I was parking my scooter before taking the keys to enter the garage but..... I made a mistake, I didn't block it very well and it fell on me. Because of the fall and the weight of the scooter I got the fractures. The pain was terrible, ferociuos, unbealivable.
Now I am home weak and with pain everywhere. I must use crutches to "learn" to walk but, until the end of october, without pushing on the injuried leg.
Now I am too tired to post and comment, so I will be far from Blogland for a while, but as soon as possible I come back, because I want to keep in touch with all of you.
Thank you again my dear friends. See you soon.......and I will run again. The Black Knight doesn't surrender.

What a sad story. Sounds like the scooter fell on you in the worst way possible.ReplyDelete
You are strong and you will heal. Of course you don't surrender - You are the Victorious Black Knight!
Best wishes to you as you heal.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Just remember that if all goes well, you will benefit from the long rest and be stronger when you are able to walk and run on your own. I was on crutches for four months: the upside is you really give your upper body a workout. Get well, oh mighty knight.ReplyDelete
this is terrible news! rest, get well, do whatever it takes to feel better. we'll be thinking about you during your recovery.ReplyDelete
BK - So sorry to hear about your accident!! I'm sending you healing thoughts. Know that your Army awaits your triumphant return... heal quickly sire! ((HUGS))ReplyDelete
oh how horrible. that happened with my dad. not the thigh, an ankle.ReplyDelete
maybe one day we can jog around and talk about our new bionic legs.
i'll let m know what happened. he's left for china for a month. don't know if he'll check blogs.
take care. remember, you're bionic now.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Black Knight!ReplyDelete
Ouch! You need to make up a good story about how a charging dragon tried to take a chomp out of your leg. It will sound better than "scooter fell on me".ReplyDelete
I understand that surgery is much faster for healing - so you're on the road to being on the road sooner. Heal fast!
I am sending you healing vibes and prayers. I was saddened to hear the news, but I know that you are strong and will be back soon. Take care of yourself and we will await your return.ReplyDelete
Get well soon. Speedy recovery!ReplyDelete
hope all is going wellReplyDelete

The German poet Goethe was 23 years old when he wrote his first novel, which he composed almost entirely of letters. The Sorrows of Young Werther spoke to readers, especially young men, in a way no book had ever done before. It inspired a crazed following and a rash of copy-cat suicides. Two centuries later readers of young Werther's letters are writing him back — via email. Produced by Megan Metcalf and Hilke Schellmann with Sarah Lilley.

In the 1950s AI researchers figured that if a toddler can learn to speak and understand, it should take only about five years to teach a computer the same skills. Fifty years on, there's been little progress, so I won't even try to guess when, if ever, software will emulate or embody the linguistic talent at the core of human intelligence. Of course we don't want rivals that can ace the Turing test. We want agents that can help us manage communication, organize tasks, analyze data, and perform transactions -- the very functions Apple famously imagined in its 1987 concept video, Knowledge Navigator.
In the same year Apple produced that video, I interviewed Georgetown University's Michael Zarechnak, one of the early pioneers of machine translation. Progress, he said then, had been "more a matter of perspiration than inspiration." If there's going to be a quantum leap, such as the "singularity" that maverick inventor Ray Kurzweil expects around 2020 -- when Kurzweil suggests we'll have the raw computational power to scan and emulate brains -- then all bets are off. Otherwise, we should plan conservatively for a long series of three-yard gains ending in clouds of dust.
This year's remarkable success of Bayesian spam filters hints at near-term future developments. There's nothing resembling intelligence in my spam filter, only a database of word frequencies. It works magically well because the filter observes, adapts to, and assists my own intelligent behavior. In five years I expect such technology will monitor and assist with more kinds of personal information management chores, as well as with collaborative efforts and transactions on Web services network. In 10 years, I expect voice and video to be among the data types available to my assistant. In 15 years. I hope to enjoy something similar to the scenario Apple envisioned back in 1987. We don't have to endow computers with intelligence in order to make that vision real. I'll settle for a solution that structures computer-assisted work so that computers can seem intelligent by patterning their behavior on ours.

Between 1994 and 2004, strip search prank call scams happened several times.
In each scenario, a perverse prank caller phoned a small business—usually a fast food joint—and persuaded employees to perform acts of sexual abuse. His targets cooperated, convinced they were assisting law enforcement.
I remember the news reports. I remember feeling disbelief, then disgust. How could people be so spectacularly gullible, so hard-hearted? When they put security camera footage of the crimes on television, I flinched. What could be gained from witnessing such behavior?
Now you can see this scenario reenacted on the big screen. [Read more…]

What is Dramatic irony?
- print Print
- list Cite
6 Answers
There are actually three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.
Dramatic irony is when the reader or the audience knows something that the characters don't know. For example, the audience might know that someone is waiting around a corner with a knife when a character walks in, but that character doesn't know that he's about to be attacked.
Situational irony is when something unexpected happens after full efforts to avoid or create the situation occur. For example, if a bride purposely plans to have her reception indoors because there is a chance of rain on her wedding day, but then the sprinkler system in the reception center goes off and everyone gets wet anyway, that's situational irony.
Verbal irony can sometimes be taken as sarcastic, but it is when a name or adescriptong of someone or something shows the opposite of what is real. For example, a boyfriend calls his girlfriend "Tubby" when she is really skinny.
The general term "irony" means a contrast between two things. Two kinds of irony include irony of situation and verbal irony. Irony of situation is a contrast between what is expected and what happens. For example, a consistent cheater gets cheated on. Verbal irony is a contrast between what is said and what is meant, as in a student who says "I just looooove getting up early to go to school." Of course we can tell that what he meant is nothing like what he said.
Dramatic irony is a contrast between what a character knows and what we (the readers or audience) know.
The words and actions of the characters therefore take on a different meaning for the audience or reader than they have for the play's characters.
Cartoons are full of dramatic irony. For example, think about a guy who has his hands full of packages; he is walking along and there is a banana peel lying right on the sidewalk ahead of him. We know what's going to happen next, but he does not. That is dramatic irony, and that is funny. His impending painful fall amuses us even more because we know what is going to happen and he does not. It would be even better if this guy were assuring his wife that he would not fall just as he falls.
A more serious and literary example is when Oedipus curses whoever is responsible for bring a curse on his city; he also curses anyone who has let that person stay in his house, even unknowingly. What we, the readers and audience, know is that he is the one who has done these things and he is actually cursing himself. This knowledge adds to our appreciation for the work. Dramatic irony is used in many literary works as well as movies and, of course, cartoons.
Dramatic irony is established when the audience knows information that a character in a play, story, etc. does not. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, the audience knows that Juliet is not dead when Romeo comes to her tomb, but he does not and kills himself, thus creating irony. Another example can be found in Othello. The audience knows from the beginning that Iago is plotting against Othello, but he remains unaware of Iago's treachery until the end of play when he realizes that he killed his wife based on false accusations created by Iago.
Dramatic Irony is a literature device that is used when the audience or reader knows something that the characters do not know. This often times used in plays but in prose as well. An example of this would be in William Shakespeare's Othello, where the reader/audience knows that Iago is a villain (which is revealed through his soliloquies), however, the other characters do not find this out until the end of the play.
Dramatic Irony is when the reader has more knowledge than the characters in a story.
Dramatic irony is the dramatic effect achieved by leading an audience to understand an incongruity between a situation and the accompanying speeches, while the characters in the play remain unaware of the incongruity. In other words, it is when the reader/ audience knows about something the character does not.

In my biography on Theravive, I describe how I utilize an integrated combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic modalities. That is, I tailor each treatment plan to the needs of the individual. Some patients wish to make connections between past experiences and current depression, and in this case it is appropriate to revisit the past to recognize its psychodynamic influence on current maladaptive behaviors. Other patients take a purely cognitive behavioral position on their experienced depression, wanting to be grounded in the present and move forward with problem-solving techniques and strategies. I also work with two psychiatrists who may prescribe medication where needed.

Sometimes we simply feel stuck in neutral. We can't move into drive and if we don't hold on tightly we so easily can fall back into reverse. Depression takes many forms and sometimes we don't even know that we are engulfed by it. But if you feel that you are so very alone and that no one can understand what you are going through perhaps talking to a Psychotherapist might be a good place to start. Try taking that first step because everyone needs someone to talk to.

This is a broad broad category. There are as many things that people call depression, and as many kinds of depressed people, as there are shades of color. The first step is to rule out physical problems – there are several that masquerade as depression – and then to rule out the simple solutions. Any good self-help book or website can give you advice on coping with the inertia that is so problematic in depression. If those are not helping enough, it is time for a careful assessment of your particular brand of what you might be calling depression. It can involve any mixture of anger, resentment, internal pressure, fear, and more. How we handle all that depends on what we find

The 12-month plan aims to ensure that the services quake victims received in camps over the last few months return with them to the villages and hamlets.
The UN already has $100m and is urging countries who pledged donations to redirect their funds to this effort.
More than 73,000 people were killed and three million displaced by the quake.
The recovery programme was drafted with the help of the Pakistan government and voluntary organisations.
"We believe we had a successful relief phase behind us," said the UN's humanitarian co-ordinator in Pakistan, Jan Vandemoortele.
"We want to sustain the success into the early recovery and reconstruction phase."
The UN has begun training teachers and health workers, as well as builders who can help reconstruct some of the 600,000 destroyed homes.
Helicopters needed
Other priorities include ensuring there is enough water and sanitation, food, seeds, fertiliser and small livestock to help restore people's livelihoods.
"We want to make sure that the services people have had access to in the camps will follow them home," Mr Vandemoortele said.
He said he was confident that the countries which promised $6.2bn last November to help rebuild the stricken area would help fund the remaining $200m of the plan.
The additional funds will provide helicopters to help deliver aid to the areas still inaccessible by roads, he said.
Of the 300,000 people who were forced to spend last winter in camps in Pakistan, at least 200,000 had now returned home.
The remaining 100,000 still in camps are either from urban centres that were completely flattened by the quake, or are from rural areas and are facing land disputes, physical disabilities or other problems.
"This plan will help tremendously in getting people back on their feet again, so that when winter comes - and it's only six months away - they are ready to face it," Mr Vandemoortele said.

What happened: Punching their ticket to the Big Dance: UMass, Canisius, Towson, Oregon, Navy and Monmouth all inch closer to the round of 16 with wins in their conference tournaments over the weekend.
Massachusetts defeated Richmond en route to capturing their fourth straight A-10 title. Junior Cori Murray led the way with six points (5g, 1a) as Richmond held the A-10 Offensive Player of The Year, Katie Ferris, at bay for much of the contest. Richmond's Mary Flowers led the Spiders with five points (2g, 3a) as her decorated career in Richmond came to an end on Sunday afternoon.
No. 1 Fairfield went down in the MAAC as Canisius won their second consecutive MAAC tournament championship. Morgan Leonard and Lindsay Morgan each recorded five points on four goals and one assists to lead the Golden Griffins.
Towson remained composed and narrowly edged conference rival James Madison in the CAA title game. In their eigth one-goal victory of the season, the Tigers were led offensively by Andi Raymond (1g, 3a), who recorded what proved to be the winning goal with just about seven minutes remaining in the second half. Monica Zabel led the way for JMU with four points (2g, 2a) as the CAA Player of The Year, Casey Ancarrow, missed her fifth game of the season.
Behind a balance offensive outing, Monmouth topped Mount St. Mary's, 11-6, on Sunday afternoon. Alex Marino (3g, 2a) and Olivia Salata (1g, 4a) each recorded five points as seven players recorded at least one goal in the victory. The win moved Monmouth into the NCAA play-in round this weekend. They will be traveling to Baltimore to take on Towson.
Oregon snapped Stanford's seven year MPSF winning streak after capturing their first conference crown over the weekend. The Drummond sisters came up huge for the Ducks, as Jana recorded four points (1g, 3a) and collected five draw controls. Sister Jess notched two goals and picked up three ground balls, two draw controls and caused a team-high three turnovers. Anna Kim led the way for Stanford with three goals and an assist.
Navy took home their third-straight Patriot League title after defeating Holy Cross, 18-11, on Sunday afternoon. Aimee Gennaro and Kathy Young each recorded seven goals on the afternoon. Laura Ryan led the way for Holy Cross with five points (3g, 2a).
Takeaway: UMass boasts the firepower to be a spoiler in this year's NCAA tournament. Katie Ferris, Lauren Terracciano and Jesse O'Donnell all have over 50 points on the season and the Minutewomen haven't dropped one since mid-March. They will faceoff against Canisius in the NCAA play-in game in Amherst, MA this weekend. The Golden Griffins will have their hands full defensively and will need to capitalize on each opportunity offensively if they hope to best UMass.
Towson has slowly inched their way into the top 20 and up the ranks this season. The Tigers, who are 15-3 on the season, stormed through the CAA in 2012. Without dropping a conference game, Towson narrowly edged opponents all spring and boast a talented squad poised for an NCAA berth. Monmouth will travel to Towson for the play-in game this weekend. With a NCAA tournament game on the line, Towson is favored heading into the weekend tilt; but, Monmouth's recent outings prove that they are not a team to overlook.
In what perhaps could be to closest play-in game of the weekend, Oregon will host Navy for the last spot in the NCAA tournament. Oregon has been having a Cinderella story in the MPSF. Navy, on the other hand, continued its dominance in conference. In a contest where each squad boasts the talent to make a trip to the NCAA game, this could be a high scoring affair. The team that can put together the most complete defense outing will likely be the team to punch their ticket.
What happened: Things are heating up in the Big East heading into the league's tournament. Loyola fell short of upsetting No. 2 Syracuse and Georgetown held on to defeat Rutgers to earn the No. 4 seed in the Big East Tournament.
Takeaway: Kellye Gallagher held Alyssa Murray to just one goal, but Michelle Tumolo and Gabby Jacquith shined as the 'Cuse defeated Loyola on Friday evening. Tumolo led Syracuse with five points (4g, 1a) as Jacquith came off the bench and put in three goals of her own. Becca Block picked up four ground balls and four draw controls to lead the Orange defensively. The upset-minded Loyola Greyhounds were led by rookie Hannah Schmitt's six goals.
In a crucial game for both squads, Georgetown narrowly edged Rutgers to earn the fourth and final spot in the Big East Tournament. Led by freshman Caroline Tarzian, the Hoyas topped the Scarlet Knights 9-7 on Saturday afternoon. Coming off a Maryland rout, Georgetown has seemingly lost its steam heading into the Big East showdown this weekend. But, reigning Big East Midfielder of The Year Sophia Thomas leads a squad that boasts the talent to make a run in the NCAA's. If the Hoyas can put together an effort much one the one they did to defeat North Carolina earlier this season, they could steal the show this weekend.
Double Takeaway: One could argue that there is no team in the nation peaking at the best time this season than the Loyola Greyhounds. The balanced attacking unit, led by a slew of underclassmen, is impossible to shutdown as seemingly someone new always slips through the cracks of their opponent's defensive strategy. As they are not a shoe-in for an at-large NCAA bid, their blinders are on and the automatic bid is what they're looking for this upcoming weekend.

Top state education official to speak at EMU Commencement Dec. 17
YPSILANTI — Michael P. Flanagan ('74), the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be the guest speaker at the Eastern Michigan University commencement Sunday, Dec. 17.
Flanagan was appointed state superintendent of public instruction by the State Board of Education May 18, 2005. He directs the Michigan Department of Education; chairs the State Board of Education; and advises the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the state Legislature regarding public education in Michigan.
Prior to his appointment, Flanagan served as the executive director of Michigan Association of School Administrators (MASA) and Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MAISA), which serves Michigan public school superintendents and intermediate school districts in the state. These two statewide organizations develop leadership and unity within its memberships to achieve the continuous improvement of public education in Michigan. He has been honored as Executive Director Emeritus by those organizations. During this time he also served as Education Advisor to Governor Jennifer M. Granholm.
For the previous seven years, Flanagan served as the superintendent of the Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA). Wayne RESA serves nearly 500,000 children in the more than three dozen diverse communities of Wayne County. Nearly 180,000 of the county's children live in poverty, which poses a great challenge to the education system. He pushed RESA to address this challenge, as demonstrated by the agency's mission of "Leading...Learning for All," with primary focus on the word "all."
Flanagan was superintendent of the Farmington/Farmington Hills School District in Michigan for five years, prior to Wayne RESA. He is past chairperson of the Education Alliance of Michigan, a nonprofit coalition of leading parent, business, and education associations; past president of the National County Superintendents Association; and past member of the Michigan Commission on Asia in the Schools. In addition, he served on former Michigan Gov. John Engler's Reading Plan for Michigan Council; and was appointed education commissioner on the Detroit 300 Commission by former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer.
He has received numerous awards, including the Michigan Chamber of Commerce's prestigious Eagle Award for Distinguished Service and Leadership in 2006; the PTA-PTO Lifetime Achievement Award and the Crystal Apple Award from Michigan State University; the Notre Dame Scholar Award; the Michigan School Business Officials Distinguished Service Award; the Michigan Association for Bilingual Education Award; and the 1999 Educator of the Year Award from the Michigan Association of State and Federal Program Specialists.
Flanagan has a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame; a master's degree from Eastern Michigan University; and has continued graduate studies at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan.

We line up 4 33 gallon trsh cans under the tail gate and shove it in the cans fast when full we load them on a heavt duty cart attached to our lasers. All our lasrs have hitches. We then ride the laser to the mulched areas and dump them . we then go do it again. its actually very very fast and beats pushing whek barrows to the back of the house. Also,theres no bending because the much is in the truck and you are at street level, so you are more or less pulling the much and raking it into the cans, We spill a lot on the street but that cleans up easy at the end. The cart we bought for $300 but its real Heavt duty and is great for a multitude of othe things

When iti is connected, the changer does not power up and the head unit does not recognize the changer. Any have experience with this installation? I put a volt meter on the wires that terminate in the trunk and get no voltage. The changer was not connected at the time of the check but the radio was on. Not sure if power goes to the trunk without cd connected.

The Indisputable Matt Maxwell Presents:
Hmm. This is likely to be a disorganized and messy affair. Quite unlike the book in question, which was painstakingly paced and plotted. True that some commentators complained that the first issues were simply unconnected vignettes, but that's one of the risks that you run when you read your fiction serially. It's very tough (and wrongheaded) to criticize the whole based on the first couple of chapters.
That doesn't prevent us from doing it on a regular basis, mind you…
I see a lot made of New Frontier's appeal being primarily nostalgic (and some folks take it further and declare that it's the book's only appeal) in that it reads like a silver age comic. Make that a silver age comic written extremely smartly, with deft characterization and spot-on illustration, as well as the space to actually tell the story (Without. Coming. Off. Like. The. Author. Was. Stretching. Things. Out. Needlessly.) Sure it's just like a Silver Age book, but you forget the political content, not merely subtext, and the opportunities for ruthless bastards to turn around and be revealed as truly heroic (not just to have their actions explained away as "merely following orders.") And did I mention the whole mature take on your favorite DC superheroes thing?
You simply aren't going to find darkly-tinged portrayals of Batman and Wonder Woman in silver age books. You're certainly not going to see anything as shocking as Wonder Woman's actions in issue #2 of New Frontier. Now I'm not talking Identity Crisis or Avengers Disassembled non-shocks. I'm talking about genuine and stirring did-I-just-read-that sorts of shocks. These are moments where real character is revealed, not just poking the reader and saying "Dig this exciting take on things! Isn't it just HARDCORE?" It's not about twisting the characters around, but giving them a shot at meaning.
Yes, a great deal has been made about the restoration of Hal Jordan, and his rehabilitation at the hands of Darwyn Cooke (conveniently timed just before his restoration at the hands of Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver). Personally, I could really care less about the continuing adventures of Hal Jordan and Green Lantern (unless in the hands of a master, say, Grant Morrison, though I doubt he'd have any interest), but Darwyn Cooke gave some dimension to the character instead of relying on easy answers or fan knowledge to drive him.
However, Mr. Cooke doesn't get a lot of credit for the way he handled other characters. Much was made of Hal Jordan, but very little was made of Col. Rick Flagg, ultrabastard. We meet him before we meet Jordan, and long before Jordan becomes anything close to the Green Lantern. Flagg (and his more cerebral analog, the Oppenheimer-esque King Faraday) is at least as important in the story as Jordan, and maybe more so. Both Flagg and Faraday are the faces of a ruthless federal government, seemingly bent on maintaining their monopoly on superpowers and generally making life tough on the protagonists. They're bad guys right?
Wrong. Lee Marvin (and I'm paraphrasing here) was once asked how it felt to always play the bad guy. He answered by saying that he never played a bad man onscreen. His characters always had their motivations and always did what they thought was best, which made his acting compelling even when the roles themselves were repellent. Darwyn Cooke manages the same trick with his portrayal of the faces of Government. Flagg, particularly, comes across as a near-psychotic badass who seems to revel in holding the obviously sympathetic characters down and questioning their ideals and finally stomping all over them. You figure that you'd want to cheer when he finally dies, right?
Wrong again. Flagg's death is a heart-rending moment because we're finally shown that indeed Flagg was another guy doing what he thought was right, what he thought needed to be done, learning the lessons that his world had taught him. And as hard as his exterior was, we're revealed in his last moments that he has the same dreams and hopes as the best of us. It's a powerful instant of identification and sacrifice that for all of its hyperbole of "the planet itself will perish if I fail!" is still one of the most moving in the entire story. We also see why he personally took the one thing that Hal Jordan most wanted and put it out of reach, and in that understanding Flagg becomes truly heroic.
He's also got a deft hand when it comes to portraying the heroes of the DCU. As above, Cooke is a master at adding a touch of darkness to the proceedings, but he's equally talented in giving a light touch as well. The Martian Manhunter and The Flash come to mind here. And just to show how well he does it, Cooke starts us off on completely the wrong foot with J'onn J'onzz (the Martian Manhunter, for those of you not versed in DC lore…). We're given a creepy setting, an observatory draped in shadow and darkness. In it, a man lays on the floor dying, and even though he declares that it's not the stranger's fault, we're given the feeling that the Manhunter is indeed responsible for the man's death. Then we get the full-page reveal (whereas before we'd only seen silhouette and a pair of red and inhuman eyes) of a creature that may be humanoid, but is distinctly not human. And given these setbacks to reader sympathy, Cooke still manages to turn the Manhunter into a sypmathetic and empathetic character. Of course, Cooke knows how to play to the crowd (and even makes fun of it via Slam Bradley.)
And Cooke's take on Superman is a sight to behold, even though he's taken out of the big fight at the end (but is responsible for putting the big fight into the crowd of heroes). He's also smart enough to contrast Superman's Favored Alien status with the persecution that a similar alien (again, the Martian Manhunter here) feels in Red-Scare America. Jonn uses his power to blend in and pass as human (fearing discovery the entire time) and by his very existence, Superman not only draws attention to himself, but reinforces governmental strength, the very power that Jonn fears. They're opposites, both in power and in status, but in the end, they're opposites united and made whole.
Moments like this are what make New Frontier worth coming back to, what makes it a great story. Cooke understands that dimension is what separates character from caricature, and that informs all of his work here. Yes, Lois Lane is in love with Superman and she's an ideal woman. She's also more than a little manipulative and knows how to get men to do what she wants. And she can be forceful in getting her way (as well, so can Carol Ferris, another strong woman who plays a role in the proceedings). She's also frail and vulnerable and the panel where she and Superman are reunited after his apparent demise is one of the most powerful in the book.
Dimension. It's all about being more than one thing. If you're unrelentingly good, you're just as boring as the unrelentingly evil chap over there. Granted, you're likely to be more sympathetic than him, but not any more interesting. There's very few, if any, stock characters (well, maybe the eggheads, but we don't get to see them long enough to get a real feel for 'em) to be found here. Hal Jordan is both fearless and wracked with self-doubt. Wonder Woman is a liberator and a destroyer, both callous and courageous. Batman comes across as both pragmatic and idealistic, fearsome and troubled.
The same is true of the America that New Frontier depicts. It's a beacon of freedom and opportunity, as well as a land of repression and fear. It's a place where bad is done in the name of the common good, where the government seems more concerned with vigilantism than the crimes that inspire it. I'm not going to stand here and argue that it's precise and nuanced political discourse, but I will say that it's striving to be a depiction that doesn't shy away from the shadows at the edges of society. There's the promise of wealth and ease, and the shadow cast by these isn't simply ignored by Mr. Cooke. It's given an uncompromised look. Lynchings and racial repression, such as those that inspired the fictional John Henry, were all-too real. Not that donning a hood and hammering justice into the KKK is a real-wold solution: it isn't. This is story. This is a representation of conflict and counter-action, not a model of how to base a struggle for civil rights.
Still, the world feels real (even in the face of impossibilities such as superheroes and prehistoric leviathans that threaten humanity) because it's visually grounded. Yes, the visuals themselves are idealistic, iconic, and there's a reason for that. These images are impressed on the American (and Canadian) psyche as part of our history. Again and again and again, Cooke shows that he has a masterful eye for design and a keen historical accuracy that evokes a feeling of Postwar America (even if that America never really existed.) Edwards Air Force Base, Las Vegas, googie architecture and design, the first stirrings of the space race and the Cold War, sprawling noir cityscapes, newsreels, talking-head public affairs shows, Blue Note record covers, automobile design, commercial design and propaganda are blended together seamlessly into a visually stunning whole.
And Darwyn Cooke can draw the super-heroes, too. Not over-muscled pose-fests, but living breathing (and breathless) action. Cooke taps the power and cosmic majesty of Jack Kirby (and some nods to Steve Ditko in that regard), the shadows of Krigstein, Toth's powerful simplicity (and expressionism) as well as a daunting knowledge of commercial design. And he makes it his own thing, not just a chance to play spot-the-influences. He's also managed to take what works about decompression in comics and the "widescreen" format and really use it to its best advantage. No, I won't lie to you. It eats up pages, fast. But when the pages are this gorgeous and cinematic, infused with a blend of raw power and great finesse, there isn't much room to complain.
And I'm a guy who generally hates splash pages, remember. But there isn't a splash page here that isn't serving the story, whether it's the best single encapsulation of Aquaman in a panel that you'll see, or the awesome spectacle of Superman getting sucker-punched by a behemoth from another time.
I've seen some comparisons made to Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns in terms of New Frontier's importance and impression on the superhero genre. As flattering as those are intended to be, I'm not sure that they're entirely fair. Watchmen even if the story had been subpar, (which it wasn't) would be an important work for its mastery of structure, of form. Dark Knight was equally masterful in structure, though in a different way, obviously. New Frontier has its own feel and vibe, but I'm not sure that it's one that will serve as a template for stories to come. It may not achieve the dizzying heights (or blackest depths) that Watchmen trod, but New Frontier certainly deserves recognition for being a strong story, skillfully told in a visual style that is indeed its own.
I wish I didn't have to say this, but the above is an exceedingly rare thing these days. New Frontier should be celebrated for that, as well as all the other stuff that I've gone on at length about.

High-speed CH2O PLIF imaging in turbulent flames using a pulse-burst laser system

In this manuscript, we demonstrate high-speed (10-kHz-acquisition rate) planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of formaldehyde (CH2O) in turbulent non-premixed flames. Using the unique pulse-burst laser system (PBLS) at Ohio State University, high-energy laser pulses (∼100 mJ/pulse) at 355 nm with 100 μs pulse separation are generated and used to measure the time-varying CH2O distributions in attached and lifted methane-based turbulent flames. By taking advantage of the tunable, narrow spectral linewidth of the PBLS at 355 nm, the laser output can be frequency-tuned and adjusted to overlap with absorption "peaks" within the tail of the A–X transition of CH2O near 355 nm, thus increasing the acquired signal by as much as a factor of three. The reported signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) exceeds 55, which represents one of the highest SNR reported to date for kilohertz-rate imaging of scalars for comparable spatial resolution. Potential applications and pairings with other diagnostic approaches for high-speed reaction rate and multi-scalar imaging also are discussed.
