NEWBERG, Ore. – A decent start by the Linfield Wildcats against reigning Northwest Conference champion George Fox didn't carry over to a strong finish as the Bruins rolled to a 64-51 victory Saturday night at the Wheeler Sports Center.
Linfield forward Kaely Maltman turned in her second straight double-double, hitting for a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds. The Wildcats (2-14, 1-9 NWC) faced not only a more seasoned opponent but also a raucous crowd of nearly 2,000 excitable Bruins fans, on hand to celebrate Senior Night.
George Fox (17-4, 10-2 NWC) held serve in its own struggle to remain atop the NWC standings. The Bruins entered the night in a three-way tie for first place as NWC teams entered the stretch run of the regular season.
The 'Cats forged a 4-0 lead to start the game on consecutive Maltman layups and Linfield stayed within reach of the Bruins during the game's opening sequences. Tied 8-8 after eight minutes of action, Linfield looked capable of matching the Bruins basket-for-basket. But the hosts scored 10 straight points to take command, 18-8, and never relented after that. Linfield held its own through the remainder of the half and settled for a 28-16 deficit at the intermission.
Forward Katelyn Henson, Linfield's leading scorer, was limited to just two points in the first half. Henson went 1-for-7 from the field in the first 20 minutes though Maltman kept the 'Cats afloat with seven points and six rebounds before the break.
Linfield outscored George Fox 11-4 to start the second half, closing the gap to five on a layup by Henson. A steal from Tegan Grunwald seconds later put the Wildcats in position to make it a one-possession game, but Henson's jumper careened off the rim and Hayley Cusick swished a three-pointer at the other end to make it 35-27 with 14:56 to go.
On the ensuing possession, Henson was whistled for an offensive foul, her fourth of the contest. The coaching staff elected to keep Henson in the game and less than a minute later, she was disqualified with her fifth foul with 13:51 left on the clock.
Just like that, in a two-minute span, Linfield's best opportunity to score the upset had vanished.
Taylor Solomon scored 10 points while adding five rebounds, but the Wildcats' point guard was charged with six of Linfield's 16 turnovers.
Maltman played perhaps her best game of the season, adding four assists, one steal and no turnovers against the nationally ranked Bruins. She hit 6 of 12 from the floor. Five of her 11 rebounds came on the offensive glass.
Jessica McMillan contributed four points, three rebounds and two blocked shots off the bench for the Wildcats.
Henson finished with six points on 3 of 13 shooting. She also suffered four turnovers.
Nicole Blizzard paced George Fox with 15 points, four rebounds and two assists. Blizzard connected on three of GFU's five three-point baskets. Megan Hays added 11 points and four rebounds in just 10 minutes of action.
George Fox's 10-0 run midway through the first half proved especially costly. The Wildcats played the Bruins to within one point in the second half, 36-35.
AHEAD: After completing a seven-game road odyssey that included games in Tacoma, Salem and eastern Washington, Linfield returns to Ted Wilson Gym Friday night to face the Pacific Boxers. Game time is 6 o'clock.

Last week when Google announced Android 2.2, aka Froyo, most of us figured it'd be weeks or even months before we had it running on end user hardware. So what a surprise when some Nexus One owners started reporting that the new version was hitting their phones via OTA updates. It appears to be a staggered roll out, so if you have a Nexus One and haven't been upgraded yet, don't fret. On the other hand, if you just can't wait, there's a way to upgrade manually. Phandroid goes over how to do it step by step, and you don't need to have a rooted Nexus One to pull it off. In fact I don't think it'll work on a rooted N1, so you'll have to roll back to a production build before upgrading.
[ Get news and reviews on tech toys in ITworld's personal tech newsletter]
Those of us using Android on a non-Google phone will just have to be patient. Verizon is supposed to roll out 2.2 to Droids sometime in June (though if the 2.1 roll-out is any indication, it could well wind up being much later than that), but I haven't heard any word of when other carriers intend to deliver the update. HTC has said their phones would have it before the end of the year, for what that's worth. I'm sure carriers will first take a long hard look at tethering support and figure out if they want to block it or not; I'm guessing most will either block it, or offer it at additional cost. So what's the verdict from those lucky enough to have Froyo already? Well, it's too early to say anything definitive, but most seem to agree that their phones are a lot faster and people seem pleased with the core Froyo experience. Tethering is a big hit (and a big hit on battery life, too). That's the good news. The bad news seems to be that Flash 10.1 for Android – which is still in beta and isn't actually part of Froyo, but we're all dying for Flash on our phones, right? (note saracasm) – isn't quite the experience people had hoped for. Hulu is blocked, for you online TV lovers. Hulu apparently doesn't have the rights to deliver mobile content, so this is a legal decision on the part of Hulu, not a technology issue. You can work around it by using debug tools to change your user agent. Phandroid shows you how. Ed Clark of Andronica seems pretty happy with Froyo, but not as thrilled with Flash:
There was one disappointment for me that my iPhone friends predicted long ago. I immediately went to the Flash website last night to install the Flash 10.1 player and then tried it out. The standard browser, which had suddenly become turbocharged after the update, now took extra time on each site to load up flash ads. Fortunately, you can change the browser settings on the "Enable plug-ins" menu from "Always on" to "On demand". In this mode, the browser works like a computer with Chrome or Firefox running the Flashblock plugin. You can see where the ads are and enable them by clicking an icon in the blank space. But going to Hulu was a waste of time. The site took forever to load, and videos weren't viewable (message: "Your platform is not supported") [But see above for a work-around.]. Videos I could load from other sites were a bit choppy. Ah well. Maybe some optimization will take place, but for the most part I wasn't that excited about Flash. Yes, iPhone fans, you may have been right about this one.
Over at PCWorld, Ginny Mies says Flash Video runs well, but games are hit and miss. Essentially it sounds like a Flash game needs to be optimized for mobile browsers in order to run well. As I anticipated, games that expect a keyboard aren't much fun on a keyboard-less phone. Maybe they'll fare better on the Droid. Farmville apparently works, which is all that half the Flash gamers out there want anyway. The Google Operating System blog (not an official Google blog) weighs in on Flash, too. Once again, results are mixed:
I've tried to open many sites that use Flash and the experience isn't smooth. Animations are sometimes choppy, web pages load much slower, scrolling web pages that use Flash is slow and there's a lot of lag when zooming a page with Flash content. In some cases, the browser is no longer responsive for a few seconds and you need to wait until you can switch to another page. Fortunately, Adobe managed to optimize the code and using Flash doesn't drain your phone's battery much faster.
It might be that the release version of Flash 10.1 for Android will address some of these issues; we'll have to see. If not, well, we have the option of just not downloading Flash. As for the core OS, I haven't seen any substantial Froyo problems reported. If you're curious about what Froyo offers, Phil Nickinson from Android Central has done a nice 7 minute walk-through of some of the new features:

A Game Over is a common term in video games, usually signifying the player losing.
When the player loses a fight, they are treated to a defeat screen, whose appearance varies based on the game. The game will then cut to a countdown. In most cases, the announcer counts down from "9" to "0", and the player has that much time to insert more coins to continue (or in other cases, press "Start"). The countdown can be sped up by pressing buttons other than the "continue" button(s).
If the player continues, their character will be "healed", or recover, and be able to fight again; alternately, the player can choose a different character. If the player does not continue, they are treated to the Game Over screen, and can submit their initials for the hi-score board, depending on the game.

This is burlesque, and pulci seems to have been the inventor of the genre.
Yet we need not go far afield to account for pulci's profanity.
Those who leave vengeance to God are ridiculed by pulci, Morgante, canto xxi.
After amusing his audience with this puppet for a while, pulci flings him aside.
Byron had first adopted the stanza in his translation of pulci's Morgante Maggiore, which is itself in ottava rime.
You may put the pulci and Dante together: perhaps that were best.
Boyardo imitated pulci; Ariosto, Boyardo; the most original wits borrow from one another.
During stay at Dorking finished the first twelve cantos of pulci.
For pulci to have celebrated Orlando without assuming the customary style of the cantastorie, would have been beside his purpose.
Now it is the glory of pulci to have brought this popular material into the realm of artistic poetry.

>Look What I Can Do!>Woo Hoo! I'm Back
Miles to Go
See how they run...
I've got a fever...
Welcome back. Glad to hear the pain's gone.
As a beatlemaniac, are you excited about 9-9-09?
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
As a beatlemaniac, are you excited about 9-9-09?
Beatles Rock Band
The remastered catalog
I saw the video opening for the Rock Band thing - looked pretty cool - but I think the whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band thing peaked before the Beatles jumped on-board.
It will be interesting to hear how the "remastered" catalog sounds - but I think I have dropped enough coin over the years on the same songs. If it's on iTunes, I would probably be more likely to buy some of the songs - maybe that will happen?
I would pay to take my kids to see McCartney if he comes by this area again.
Congratulations on your comeback!! I definitely understand how good that feels. May your good health hold for a long time to come!
- Joe
We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
Actually still trying to get back. Plantar F has been killing me in my left foot for several months now.
But I hadn't run since end of June and decided to get out today. Did 4 miles and felt good. I think I need to just run though it. I miss running so much - feel so dragged out each day.
Going to give it a go and get some new shoes. I am wondering if my problem was just my last pair of shoes. The guy at the store had fitted me a size larger and I always felt like I my foot was shifting around in the shoe.
It's been about 250+ on this pair so time to try to something new and get back into it. What's a good motion control/stability shoe that's out now? I am somewhat flat-footed - about 185 lbs. 6' 1".

Martin Honored by Rivals.com as One of the Nation's Top Recruiters
Feb. 11, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky assistant coach Tee Martin has been recognized by Rivals.com as one of the nation's top-25 recruiters for the 2011 recruiting class.
Here's the analysis written by the Rivals.com recruiting staff:
"Buzz: Recruiting at Kentucky for his first year, Martin killed it for the Wildcats landing four-star defensive back Glenn Faulkner from Illinois as well as a ton of three stars. He also landed Eric Dixon and Rashad Cunningham from South Alabama, where he is from, and helped sway wide receiver Daryl Collins from Alabama on signing day. He was also the primary recruiter for Demarco Robinson, Nile Daniel and Theltus Cobbins, and has already earned a promotion in title and a contract extension for his efforts. Not a bad first year."
Having joined Kentucky in January, 2010, Martin made an immediate impact on and off the field in his first year on the staff. On the field, senior Chris Matthews and junior Randall Cobb had the most productive seasons of their careers. Cobb was named first-team All-America after catching 84 passes for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns and also rushing for 424 yards and five TDs out of the "WildCobb" formation. Matthews snagged 61 balls for 925 yards, tying for the SEC lead with nine touchdown receptions, and received second-team All-SEC honors.
Recognizing his performance and the interest he was receiving from rival schools, UK Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart and Coach Joker Phillips rewarded Martin with a contract extension and the title of passing game coordinator on Jan. 29.
Eight Wildcats Named "All-Commonwealth": Eight Kentucky Wildcats were named to the inaugural "All-Commonwealth Team" as sponsored by the Kentucky chapter of the National Football League Alumni Association.
The "All-Commonwealth Team" recognizes players from every college football team in Kentucky, including all classifications. In addition to UK, this year's team features players from Murray State, Louisville, Union, Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Georgetown and Campbellsville.
UK was represented by wide receiver Randall Cobb, tailback Derrick Locke, quarterback Mike Hartline, offensive guard Larry Warford, linebacker Danny Trevathan, safety Winston Guy and punter Ryan Tydlacka. Wide receiver Chris Matthews was an honorable-mention selection.
The selection committee included representatives from the Kentucky NFL Alumni and Kentucky media.
Michaels Named to Kentucky NFL Hall of Fame: Former Kentucky Wildcat Lou Michaels has been named to the Kentucky Chapter of the National Football League Players Association Hall of Fame.
Michaels will be one of five players inducted into the Hall of Fame, which recognizes NFL standouts who played their college football in the commonwealth of Kentucky.
Michaels was as an offensive lineman, defensive lineman and kicker at UK from 1955-57, earning first-team All-America honors as a junior and senior. He went on to a 13-year NFL career as a defensive end and kicker, playing for the Los Angeles Rams (1958-60), Pittsburgh Steelers (1961-63), Baltimore Colts (1964-69) and Green Bay Packers (1971). Michaels was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 1962 and '63 seasons.
The Kentucky Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be June 24 at the Lexington Opera House. Joining Michaels in the class are Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky/Cleveland Browns), Rod Hill (Kentucky State/Dallas Cowboys), Phil Simms (Morehead/New York Giants) and Kerry Rhodes (Louisville/Arizona Cardinals).
Locke, Cobb Invited to the NFL Combine: Kentucky senior tailback Derrick Locke and junior wide receiver Randall Cobb have been invited to the National Football League scouting combine, set for Feb. 24 through March 1 in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Locke rushed for 2,618 yards during his Kentucky career, sixth in Wildcat history, with 22 touchdowns. He also proved himself as a capable pass receiver with 95 career receptions. His exceptional speed (under 4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash) comes on special display on kickoff returns, as he set the UK career record with an average of 27.1 yards per return, including a pair of 100-yard touchdown runbacks.
Cobb will exhibit his all-around playmaking ability which made him an outstanding pass catcher, rusher, quarterback, punt returner and kickoff returner. Although he played only three years, Cobb set the UK career touchdown record with 37 and is fourth in career all-purpose yardage. Cobb's monster junior season featured an SEC-record 2,396 all-purpose yards and first-team All-America honors.
More than 300 top prospects were invited to the NFL combine, which plays a key role in evaluating players' professional potential. The event will be televised on the NFL Network and also can be followed on NFL.com.

Remember that art journal I painted on months ago that started this whole painting frenzy?
Yep, that's the one! I was all excited about having my very own art journal! I was going to work in it every day. Experiment with "new to me" techniques, let my creativity soar without fear of mistakes or failure, blah blah blah... Needless to say, it sat and collected dust. Until....
Tonight I decided I wanted to play, just for me, not to sell or gift, just a little art therapy for me.. So, here's what I have so far..
She's not quite done yet. I have to finish the picture frame and add a picture of course and a little tweeking here and there but I have to tell you, I'm loving her! Even the hubby stopped in his tracks to take a look. I may offer prints of her at some point (as soon as I figure all of that out. BTW, if any of you have any advice or guidance regarding making prints of your originals, please do share... I'm inexperienced in the print arena and do not know where to begin. Any help would be much appreciated!). What do you think?
I'll probably put her away for today, I'm really rather tired. I have got to finish a Tooie Doll and a Matchbox Doll to finish up an order that I've been putting off because I really just want to paint! I also have a nesting doll that I should make for a very nice woman who has asked me repeatedly to make one. So, maybe I'll finish her up in the morning and spend the afternoon tomorrow catching up on things I "should" be doing. I did clean the house and do laundry today, does that count?
More Later....

Shot Time for Molly [PHOTOS]
It's time for an update on Molly, the truck driving dog. Last time I wrote about Molly, she was headed out on the road. Riding in an 18 wheeler, touring the western portion of the United States. I'm sure she thought it was a grand idea. Riding along with Jake, her owner. Sometimes riding 'shotgun,' sometime on the bed in the sleeper and sometimes laying on the floor right behind Jake.
I had wrote a story, and like many times 'posted the story in Facebook' to let our listeners and readers know what she was up to. One of the Facebook posts caught my attention. I can't remember who wrote the note, but they simply 'reminded me' to make sure Jake had all of his vaccination records in order, in case he was stopped, or authorities wanted to see details at a weigh station. He didn't have the papers in place!
So, Molly the truck driving dog has been at our house again, until she could get her papers in order and the proper shots. She 'had' previously received shots, but he didn't have the paperwork to prove it so, off to the vets office we went.
If I would have been closer to Parkston or Wagner I would have stopped by Northwest Veterinary Clinic. I love Doc Barz and the crew that work there. I know that many people trust their large animals to Doc and I know that he would have taken good care of Molly. So, we ended up going to Sioux Nation Vet Supply. They run a monthly pet shot update.
We loaded up and took off. It's really quite a spectacle. Dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes in getting their shots. I talked with a nice lady with two small dogs, that were shaking with nervousness before their turn in the room. I also saw a dad, with his two young sons who were there with their small white dog. The younger of the two boys thought Molly looked like a good guard dog. He's right. She does 'bark' at people when they walk by.
After a brief waiting period, we were off to the smaller room. I love it when you can see people who love their jobs. The 'holder' lady, was awesome. She knew precisely how to 'distract Molly,' while she got her 3 shots. And the Vet herself, was quick, courteous and effective.
We ended up getting all the shots and paper work Molly needs to be 'legal' out on the road. And that's good.
Oh, and thanks to the lady who 'reminded us' very gently to make sure we had all the proper paperwork in place when taking a dog across state lines. We're glad she has all her shots and Paperwork in place now. In case she decides she's hungry for life on the road again.

Kim West
Good morning Claire and Matt – the two greatest joys of my life along with your dad.
I have an extra spring in my step because today is International Women's Day.
A week or so ago, Claire, you shared that you feel gender is not a barrier to what you want to accomplish in your life. I think that is true for you and I'm proud of your drive.
But here's the thing. Women make up half of the workforce in Canada and the US. They earn almost 60% of undergraduate and master's degrees and almost half of all law and medical degrees.
The big BUT is that as women progress in their careers, they are grossly underrepresented and underengaged in leadership at the executive and board level across all sectors including government, academia, business and civic organizations. Even though organizations with women in leadership roles outperform those without gender balance.
Claire, you are pursuing a career in health sciences and leadership in your chosen profession may seem like a lifetime away. In the US, women account for over 78% of the labour force in health care and social assistance and only 14.6% of executive officers and 12.4% of board of directors.
In Canada women comprise less than 16% of the board of director positions and just five years ago, 40% of FP500 companies had no women directors.
It's brilliant that women are equally represented with men in the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau's first federal cabinet. By all accounts Canadians are well served by the inclusive and diverse perspectives being brought to the federal government.
It is 2016 and there is urgency to tackle enormous challenges that confront our world such as climate change, poverty, racial and religious hatred, sexualized violence, and economic, social and political disparity. The need for thoughtful, selfless, inclusive leadership has never been greater.
Claire, my ask is that you take your place and assume leadership roles and stay true to "equalism" as you describe the goal. You don't need to have all the answers but know you have valuable perspective to bring to any discussion and that you can improve decisions. As important, encourage and support your friends to take on leadership roles.
Matt. I am so fortunate that your father supports me and that my male colleagues have encouraged me to pursue leadership opportunities. I've been invited to pull up a chair and join discussions, to learn and hopefully contribute a different perspective. I expect you to be a catalyst for good quality, inclusive and balanced decisions where men and women are fully engaged.
Today it is important to celebrate the women and men in all of our lives who are making positive changes and to achieve gender balanced leadership. The job is not done.
Enjoy this fabulous day. Love you forever, Mom.

Faculty Recommends
By James J. Miracky, S.J.
Teaching a book one loves to undergraduates can be a risky
undertaking. The results can range from exhilaration, when
the students are energized and enlightened by the work, to
desolation, when they are bored or just don't "get it." Fortunately,
I have experienced more booms than busts in teaching my literary
favorites. What follows is a list of contemporary works that
have been especially effective with and appreciated by Holy
Cross undergraduates.
Waterland by
Graham Swift (Vintage 1992). This has probably been my favorite
novel to teach at Holy Cross. It is a detective story, coming-of-age
romance, historical epic, and meditation on history-as-storytelling,
all in one. Set in the Fen Country of England and narrated
by Tom Crick, an about-to-be-sacked history teacher whose
wife has just kidnapped a baby, this Booker Prize-nominated
novel is a complex and poignant account of Tom's attempt,
via his-story, to draw together some of the strands of his
personal and family background in order to make sense of
his present-day crises.
Come to Me by
Amy Bloom (HarperPerennial 1994). A finalist for the National
Book Award, this collection of short stories by a psychotherapist
presents a great challenge to my students. Bloom takes up
unconventional and sometimes disturbing psychosexual situations
(e.g. incest, adultery, potential sexual abuse) and uncovers
the humanity (and even moments of beauty) that can be found
in the midst of moral failure. Teaching this book has yielded
some of the best literary and moral discussions I have experienced
in class.
Midnight's Children (Penguin
1991) and Shame (Holt
1997) by Salman Rushdie. Both novels are demanding texts
which are among the finest examples of postcolonial fiction.
Each is a hybrid novel of Eastern and Western traditions,
set in India/Pakistan at the time of their independence,
that mixes elements of myth and fantasy with fragments of
historical and political events to produce a wonderful serio-comic
narrative that raises important questions about colonialism,
racial and religious purity, and contradictory representations
of "the truth."
The Wellspring: Poems by
Sharon Olds (Knopf 1996). This is an emotionally wrenching
yet inspiring collection of poems that covers all of the
hot topics undergraduates (and all of us) relate to: family,
love, sex, rebellion, death and more. Olds has an acute sense
of details and an expressive way with imagery in her work,
and her series of poems on relating to one's parents is especially
The Things They Carried by
Tim O'Brien (Penguin 1991). O'Brien's book of short stories
relating events surrounding the Vietnam War is a triumph
not only of war fiction but also of postmodern narrative.
Blurring the lines between fiction and the "facts" of his
war experience, O'Brien's tales of battles fought and comrades
lost thrive equally on love and hate, horror and beauty to
get at "truths" about war that defy human logic. I get a
kick out of seeing students wrestle with the gray areas of
these stories, which resist the desire for neat explanation
or resolution.
Top Girls by
Caryl Churchill (Methuen Drama 1985). This British play has
a wonderfully topsy-turvy quality about it, as it moves from
a dinner party attended by a group of notable women from
history and literature from across the ages (e.g. the legendary
Pope Joan, Japan's Lady Nijo, and Chaucer's Patient Griselda)
in Act I to a Thatcher Era showdown between two sisters who
have followed radically different careers and roles as women
in Act II. Taking up the contentious question of the "proper" role
of women in past and present societies, the play generates
much heated debate over gender expectations and offers no
easy solutions.
Angels in America: Millennium
Approaches and Perestroika by Tony Kushner
(Theatre Communications Group 1993-1994). Winner of
multiple awards, including the Pulitzer and the Tony,
this two-part epic play has probably generated the
most surprising positive responses from my students.
It is an ambitious and controversial work that contemplates
the place of justice, compassion, and hope in the era
of Ronald Reagan and AIDS. Populated with one of the
most eccentric casts in a long time, including drag
queens and angels; rabbis, Mormons, and WASPs; and
even the adversarial Ethel Rosenberg and Roy Cohn,
the play's combination of philosophical speculation,
religious myth, and wickedly funny dialogue makes for
a thought-provoking read and a thoroughly engaging
dramatic experience.
James Miracky, S.J., is an
assistant professor of English at Holy Cross. Miracky received his Ph.D.
in English from Rutgers University. His specialty areas include 19th and
20th century British novel, history and theory of the novel, and modern
and contemporary

Break time is over for Ice Griffs
These last two non-conference games are pretty important for Canisius, but it's not so much about the outcome of the games on the ice. It's about what the Golden Griffins will learn to jump start the second half of their season.
The Griffs travel to Burlington, Vt., to participate in the Catamount Cup at Gutterson Fieldhouse, facing Hockey East teams UMass-Lowell (4 p.m., today) and tourney host Vermont (7 p.m., Sunday) to close out their non-conference schedule.
The Griffs (5-8-0) are playing for the first time since a disappointing 2-0 loss at Army on Dec. 7 and while the opponents are challenging, the opportunity exists to get back into gear quickly before returning to the grind of the Atlantic Hockey season.
"Our success is still going to come in-conference," Canisius coach Dave Smith said. "We need to use our out-of-conference games for a lot of different reasons. These ones are about getting back into the swing of things by playing high-level competition. We want our standard up as high as possible immediately after the break. We don't have to reinvent hockey, but we have to remind ourselves we want to play and get back at it."
The notable stats for the Griffs:
• The penalty-killing unit is at 97 percent over the last seven games. They've scored two short-handed goals and given up just one power play tally in that span.
• Senior Kyle Gibbons leads the Griffs with eight goals and 13 points. He has 50 career goals, trailing only all-time leading scorer Cory Conacher, who notched 62.
• Tony Capobianco has a 1.78 goals-against average in his last five games.
• Canisius is outscoring opponents, 13-8, in the third period.
The Griffs begin the weekend looking to crack the No. 1 defense in the country.
UMass-Lowell is allowing just 1.88 goals per game. Ranked No. 10 in the latest USCHO.com poll, the River Hawks are 11-5-0 overall. They were the preseason No. 1 team after advancing to the Frozen Four last season.
Goaltending has been key with their two goaltenders ranking in the top six nationally. Sophomore Connor Hellebuyck has a 1.72 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage while senior Doug Carr has a 1.81 goals-against with a .933 save percentage.
"Lowell is a great opponent to learn from," Smith said. "They have some very good players but they're an excellent team – four lines, six D and two goaltenders. … To beat them we have to do a lot of things well."
The Griffs and UMass-Lowell have met twice before, with the teams skating to a 2-2 tie on Oct. 25, 2003 and the River Hawks earning a 5-4 win on Dec. 29, 2005.
It will be the first meeting ever between Canisius and Vermont. The Catamounts are 8-6-1 and entered their holiday break with a 3-0 loss to No. 16 Northeastern. The loss ended a five-game winning streak for the Catamounts, who held a 44-24 shots on goal advantage in that game.
The Griffs return to Atlantic Hockey action Jan. 3-4 when they travel to Worcester, Mass., for two games against Holy Cross.
That weekend Niagara also returns to action, traveling to Waltham, Mass., to play Atlantic Hockey foe Bentley. The Purple Eagles are 3-11-2 overall and last played when they tied RIT, 2-2, at Frozen Frontier on Dec. 14.

Americans, Canadians, Australians and some other nationalities need a tourist visa in order to enter Brazil. Please contact your local Brazilian Embassy to find out if you need to apply for one and for further details.

US citizens: 160USD, valid for 10 years
Australian citizens: 100USD, valid for 1 year
Canadian citizens: 92USD for one entry and re-entries from bordering countries within 3 months
Spending Money
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank.
You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money, a combination of US dollar cash and cards is best. Please bear in mind that cost of living in the southern cone countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) is much higher than the rest of South America, and more comparable with Europe. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
We do not recommend bringing travellers cheques as they are very difficult to change in country.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.
Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.

★ SCORPIO 24 Oct-21 Nov You should be where you like to be: intense and in control, rapping out orders to minions while patching up fallouts within the family; November is optimum time for peace-making. Venus, now in your skies, adds class, a cue to parade killer outfits, throw extravagant parties and dance with a dagger in your teeth. Be it Scorpio-style high drama or cool calculation, it's your season.
★ SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov-21 Dec Grab any downtime while you can; you'll be hopping to others' tunes in a mere week's time. Inner communion takes precedence, meanwhile – providing you are also servicing a suddenly active social life. Mars – a contrary but exciting energy – gives romantics something to contemplate (a scary Leo, perhaps). As the red planet emphasises long-distance, long-term connections, it's worth going well out of your way for the right thrill.
★ CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan Saturn, Capricorn's ruler, represents the ability to survive and prosper regardless of circumstance, through stoicism or ruthlessness (delete as applicable). With the ringed planet now at the apex of your scope, a new professional phase dawns, one where you can seize control rather then be buffeted about by circumstance. Scheme on. Short term, you're in a busy, profitable phase where commerce and good company overlap. Enjoy.
★ AQUARIUS 20 Jan-19 Feb It's odd how the people who rile you are often those who also excite you. With the livewire planet Mars in opposition for an unusual several months, such folks are likely to be pressing both buttons. Try not to mix it with enemies; planets elsewhere put you in an inspiring leadership role. Edgy people to whose flame you are drawn are another matter; here you can play the long game.
★ PISCES 20 Feb-20 Mar November is a comparatively straightforward month, and planets in your fellow water sign of Scorpio emphasise the value of escape and overseas travel (including long-distance love affairs). Alternatively, you can resist the temptation to coast and push a professional agenda that is now less oppressive and, no small thing, more likely to yield money. If you don't have a financial plan, create one; Saturn insists.
★ ARIES 21 Mar-19 Apr With most planets now moving forwards, it's a time to make things happen. Other people seem to be the principal problem; Saturn in opposition signals a phase when colleagues become non-compliant, exes turn truculent and friendships are tested. Look at things through their eyes. Romantic affairs, on the other hand, look fierier than in months; cut a dash, pursue and persuade.
★ TAURUS 20 Apr-20 May Let peace and harmony reign. If they don't, back off a little and listen hard to whichever significant other is riling you. Dialogues with soulmates, exes and other personal players are now loaded – and you don't necessarily hold the winning hand. Concede where necessary! Single or not, November is a month for glamorous encounters; fitting them in with a booming work scenario is the trick to achieve.
★ GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun Saturn, the planet of graft, opens a phase when work ceases to be mere obligation – otherwise the roof falls in – and becomes a desirable activity. At least scheme to make that your reality (birthdays circa 22 May especially). Planets elsewhere highlight advantages from travel and overseas contacts. Romance? All to play for, the most recent candidates included, but not a time to sit on the fence.
★ CANCER 21 Jun -22 Jul As any Crab knows, home is where the heart is, and Saturn stuck to the root of your 'scope this winter lends domestic arrangements especial significance, calling, perhaps, for a previously unthinkable makeover of flatmates, rentals or mortgages. There may be different ways to manage what you have built. Short term, planets are in your favour – notably for anything social, arty or show business. Or for encounters with spiky Scorpios.
★ LEO 23 Jul-22 Aug In hot water again? Mars in Leo means that trouble finds little innocent old you all too easily! Your 'scope is caught between freedom's call and the equally desirable condition of co-dependence (a Mars-Jupiter opposition, in short). Since there's no quick fix available (the timetable proceeds to the new year), etch the terms and conditions of partnerships in stone and stick to them. Good time to be single!
★ VIRGO 23 Aug-22 Sep Now that you're off Saturn's chain gang, your 'scope has a lighter, more responsive touch; more fresh faces, more mobility, more errands. Just your thing, in fact. It's a time for fast business, precise deals, maximum communication, and for setting a new project in motion. It's also a moment to call in every outstanding penny and euro and stash them in your piggy bank of choice.
★ LIBRA 23 Sep-23 Oct Although most Librans won't yet be feeling Saturn's none-too-tender touch (birthdays circa 23 September excepted), the ringed planet's arrival means it's time to prioritise ruthlessly in both professional and personal terms. What really counts? The more self-reliant you are, the better the result. Since Saturn is the planet of earned success, you'll also be needing some early nights and a decent savings account.


text: Updated with comment on deal timing, from Capital One. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - The Federal Reserve late Tuesday finally approved Capital One's ( COF) deal to purchase ING Direct (USA) from ING Groep ( ING). Capital One's shares were up over 2% in aftermarket trading, rising to $48.95. After seven months and three public hearings to address concerns over the effect of the merger on consumers and the creation the ninth-largest U.S. bank holding company (by total assets), with combined total assets of roughly $298 billion, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve on gave the okay to Capital One's purchase of ING Direct for $6.2 billion in cash and 55.9 million Capital One shares, valued at $2.8 billion. A Capital One spokesperson said the deal would "close within the next few days as soon as the details associated with the transaction are finalized," adding that "with the Fed's approval, Capital One has the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation of ING Direct for the benefit of our customers, associates, shareholders and local communities." The Fed said that, in evaluating the deal, it had determined that "Capital One's regulatory capital ratios are well above the minimums required of well-capitalized bank holding companies and would remain so on consummation of the proposal," and that the combined companies subsidiaries would also be considered well-capitalized. The Fed also said that "this transaction would not materially increase the debt service requirements of the combined company," and that "asset quality and earnings prospects also are consistent with approval." The regulator added that in approving the ING deal, it had also taken account Capital One's subsequent agreement to purchase HSBC's ( HBC) U.S. credit card portfolio, including Capital One's plan to issue common shares to partially fund that $2.6 billion purchase. The Federal Reserve also said "Capital One and its subsidiary depository institutions are considered to be well managed," with a "demonstrated record of successfully integrating large organizations into its operations and risk-management systems following acquisitions, including its integrations of Hibernia Corporation in 2005, North Fork Bancorporation in 2006, and Chevy Chase Bank in 2009."

Two workers at a Costco (NASDAQ:COST) store in Waltham, Mass., are sharing a $50 million lottery prize.
Rosa DeLeon and Reginald LeBlanc won the Powerball lottery last week, ABC News reports. Both in their 50s, they routinely purchased two shared tickets for the game. Last week, their numbers finally came up.
Officials from the Massachusetts Lottery confirmed the win and brought them to a press conference. The winners have elected to take the $33 million in a lump-sum payment. After taxes, each will get half of $23.1 million.
DeLeon bought the ticket at a local gas station in Lexington, Mass. The station will receive a $50,000 commission for selling the winning ticket.

Texas Judge Bans Microsoft From Selling Word in the U.S.
Jason Mick
August 12, 2009 8:10 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A Texas court has banned sales of Microsoft Word and copies of Microsoft Office containing word until a final decision is reached in a copyright infringement trial. Microsoft has 60 days to cease sales.
(Source: Microsoft)
Microsoft also faces more damages over willful infringement
Microsoft's Office 2003 and 2007 wove XML into Word, with the introduction of .docx, otherwise known as
Office Open XML
, as the format of choice. The new format brought an open standard and better storage to the application. Unfortunately, it also turned into one of the company's biggest legal headaches.
In making Office, Microsoft implemented technology seeming covered under a 1998 patent (
No. 5,787,449
) by a developer of collaborative-based content solutions, Toronto-based i4i. The patent covered "manipulating a document's content and architecture separately."
A Texas federal court ruled in May that Microsoft had infringed on the i4i's patents and ordered Microsoft to pay
$200M USD in unpaid royalties
. Microsoft was reportedly hurt in the proceedings by a published trail of emails that indicated that the company knew that it was infringing on i4i's work. Microsoft disagreed strongly with the verdict and promised to fight it in appeals court.
Now a US District Court of Eastern Texas judge, Judge Leonard Davis, has ordered
sales of Microsoft Word in the U.S. banned
until a final judgement is reached. The injunction also came with an order for Microsoft to pay an additional $40M USD for willful infringement, $37M USD in prejudgement interest, and $21,102 per day in additional fines. The court also is asking that Microsoft hand over $144,060 a day, until the final judgement and damages are paid (though it may get some of this money back).
Until the final decision is reached, Microsoft is banned from selling any version of Microsoft Office containing copies of Word that can open .XML, .DOCX, or DOCM files containing custom XML. Microsoft has a mere 60 days to comply with the injunction.
With Office being one of Microsoft's staple products, and with the .docx format being the current default format, an appeal seems inevitable. Microsoft has not issued a formal response yet to ban on Word sales.

BUDAPEST (May. 13)
Premier Koloman Daranyi's cabinet resigned tonight. Regent Admiral Nicolas Horthy immediately assigned Dr. Bela Imredy, president of the Hungarian National Bank and retiring Minister Without Portfolio, to form a new Government. He succeeded tonight in forming a Government.
Inability of Daranyi to cope with a rash of posters attacking the Jewish descent of Regent Horthy's wife was reliably reported to have player an important part in the downfall of the cabinet.
The Regent has for some time been greatly irritated over signs reading, "Rebecca, Leave the Palace!" which Rightists had been posting on walls and fences throughout the capital, an authoritative source said. Mme. Horthy is the former Magdalene Joszashely, descendent of the Wodianer family, eighteenth-century Jewish banking family of Vienna.

NBC gave viewers a sneak peek of another sitcom they have slated for the fall. Tonight, after America's Got Talent, NBC previewed Guys With Kids, a new comedy from Jimmy Fallon about three 30-something dads who try to remain young as they face the responsibilities of having kids.

Meanwhile, Nick's wife, Emily (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) is desperately searching for a night out, away from her duties as a stay-at-home mom, while Marny (Tempestt Bledsoe), Gary's wife, struggles to acknowledge Gary's sacrifices as a stay at home dad with four kids.
