San Diego was much improved with their energy and defensive pressure. USD's big men also played well. Thought this game was going to be much closer at the end.
Quintessential Quote
"First off, it has been a big thing to have JV back," Perry Webster said. "He had a good game… We played together more offensively and scored 90 points. Our defense was not good enough tonight."
Impact Player of the Game
Roger Guardia. Yes, since we have some fans who think we need to treat these players like little leaguers, I need to give the game ball to Guardia as there may not be another opportunity this season. (kidding). In all seriousness, the transformation that took place last night was amazing. He looked for the shot and, perhaps more importantly, he hit it. He also had some nice passes and and seems to really attack the boards. Looking ahead, Guardia still needs to play better defense (he has improved quite a bit) and will like to see how he does if he misses that first three.
Could Not Have Won Without Them
Jer'Vaughn Johnson. Like Montana, USD has some very tall players but unlike the game at Mizzou, JVJ did not let them intimidate. He played crazy good last night both on offense and defense. An absolute force. If Johnson stays healthy he is a shoe-in for a Big West first team selection.
Perry Webster. His passing skills are sick. Each game I am more and more impressed with his play. He had an off game shooting the ball but he can still hit the big shot when it's required. As an added bonus this guy can also play defense. To say I am sold on Webster is an understatement.
Orane Chin. OC stepped it up and by the end of the game seemed to be where he was in the first four games of the year. He did start the game with some fade-away timid and reckless shots but, after that, Chin was was solid and didn't back away.
Devon Peltier. VI has been the most consistent Titan to date. He hit only 1 of 4 treys but you can't put his 19 points (8-8 on free throws) and his hustle in any other category.
Looking to Improve
Isiah Umipig. Gosh darn it, still waiting for that breakout game. It will come, no doubt about it. Zeke played 9 minutes and that's pretty much what he deserved. He will get his time once he learns to make defense a priority.
Eric Williams. Just wasn't feeling it from him on Saturday. He does play decent defense and did bring down a few boards but he's such a liability on offense it's hard to justify playing much. I do like him in at the end of games as that's where he seems to thrive.
Sedric Martin. Only played two minutes so obviously the coaches feel he needs to improve. Not sure how he fell behind Jurich but that's where is is right now.
Steve Jurich. Yes, he is looking better but his defense was so poor so he ended up here. Hit a three-ball but why does he have trouble making free throws?
Orlando Brown. What?! How does TitanCentral.com's Surprise Player of the Year end up here? 15 minutes and pretty much nothing else. Just didn't look good from the start and his body language said it all.
Somewhere in Between
No one.
Final thoughts
Losing to Montana must have been tough for the Titans but they responded well at home. No matter what happens this year, this team has a real identity: They play hard and they are fun to watch.

The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed it's currently conducting at least one criminal investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, reports NPR.
From an inquiry from NPR's Mandalit del Barco earlier this week, the department said: "LAPD Chief Charlie Beck has said his department would investigate any sexual assault accusations against Bill Cosby — even past the statute of limitations. The department's public information officer, Det. Meghan Aguilar, told NPR that the police have at least one open criminal investigation that may have multiple accusations. The LAPD would not offer any more details because the case is ongoing."
The news comes after the unsealing of court documents from 2005 which revealed Cosby's admission to drugging women for sex. The testimony was used in his lawsuit against Andrea Constand, the Temple University employee who accused the star of drugging and raping her (Cosby and Constand settled the case for an undisclosed amount in 2006).
Cosby has since faced a mountain of allegations from more than two dozen women who claim the 77-year-old comedian drugged and/or sexually assaulted them over the last four decades.
In related news, Constand filed a new civil lawsuit against Cosby on Wednesday, claiming that the embattled star and his legal team have repeatedly violated the confidentiality agreement between the two sides.
"Cosby's behaviors have caused plaintiff unwanted and overwhelming media attention, which has detrimentally affected her," states the new suit. Constand also argues Cosby and his representatives have publicly discredited other women who've come forward with allegations.
Constand is seeking to void the confidentiality agreement, as she's "come to the realization that she once again must defend herself in the forum chosen by the defendant."
She is also requesting the public release of "the entire deposition and transcripts" from the 2005 case (only a portion was unsealed on Monday and released to The Associated Press) and "further release plaintiff and her counsel from those same provisions which defendant has chosen to ignore."

San Francisco Studies Effectiveness Of Congestion Pricing
"Congestion pricing -- a strategy that has been successful in Singapore, London and, most recently, Stockholm -- is a system where motorists pay a user fee to drive on the city's most congested streets. Fees, collected through electronic transponders, would be higher at the most congested times and lower or free at others. The revenues from the charge would then be reinvested in improvements to the transportation system, from signal coordination to transit, bike and pedestrian enhancements."
"Traffic congestion is down 18 percent in London and 25 percent in Stockholm. Transit use is up, and the programs are generating significant revenues for transportation infrastructure development."
But does that mean it will work in San Francisco?
"...we need to be sure that the San Francisco solution fits our congestion problem. Although several conditions suggest a pricing system may work well here, San Francisco's congestion profile, transit system and role in the regional economy are quite different from other places where pricing has been implemented. We must be careful to take these considerations into account when designing and evaluating potential pricing alternatives.
A thorough and inclusive study process is the best way to vet these ideas and determine whether a congestion charge is right for San Francisco. The federal government believes the concept has potential: The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded the Transportation Authority $1 million in grant funds to conduct a feasibility study of area pricing, making San Francisco the first city in the nation to receive such support."

It wasn't the normal road for Parkview Baptist to get where it's used to being this season, but the Eagles found their way to familiar territory in dominant style Friday.
West Feliciana stood as the final hurdle between PBS and a fifth consecutive district championship, and the Saints weren't much of one as the Eagles blazed to a 56-20 triumph.
The regular season is over for Parkview (6-3, 4-0), which cruised through four district tests without much of a hiccup - winning all four by double digits - and will get a chance to duplicate its 2010 Class 3A state championship despite a 1-3 start this season.
This week also brought an unexpected twist in the road as seven Eagles, including three starters, were suspended by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association for their roles in a sideline brawl against Baker on Oct. 14.
"We had the distraction this week, and we hadn't had three losses in the regular season since our first year 13 years ago," PBS coach Kenny Guillot said. "But all we went through made us stronger, and maybe that will help us as we go into the playoffs."
To punch their postseason ticket, the Eagles stuck to a meat-and-potatoes approach against West Feliciana (5-4, 1-2) with 443 rushing yards on 59 carries.
Conner Hodgeson led the way for PBS with 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Hezekiah Randolph rolled up 95 and scored three times and quarterback Cole Wilson added 89 more and a 67-yard gallop to the end zone.
"If we can run our offense like that, we don't have to do anything real complex," Guillot said. "Our guys up front did a great job coming off the ball and the backs ran hard."
As efficient and methodical as the Eagles offense was all night, defense got them off on the right foot, and it didn't take long.
West Feliciana got the opening kickoff and on the second snap of the night, PBS cornerback Tee Sparrow jumped in front of Preston Cobb to swipe Dennis Bell's pass and rambled 30 yards for a touchdown with 59 seconds gone.
Then on the Saints' first play after the ensuing kickoff, a botched snap put the ball on the ground and Landon Brown smothered it for the Eagles. Four plays later, Hodgeson plowed in from 4 yards away and Parkview was on its way to a 21-0 lead.
"Not exactly how we wanted to start," West Feliciana coach Robb Odom said. "Something like that happens, that's what good football teams can overcome. We haven't all season."
Despite a deficit that grew to 28-0 when PBS plugged away for a 96-yard touchdown drive to begin the second quarter, big plays allowed the Saints to maintain a pulse for part of the first half.
After Randolph's second short 2-yard TD blast, West Feliciana showed some life when Tre Bailey charged the ensuing kickoff into a stiff wind, scooped the ball off the turf and blazed through the middle of the Eagles' coverage team for a 76-yard touchdown return.
The Saints' only other score in the opening half came when Bell zipped a quick slant to Greg Freeman, who caught the ball in stride and streaked past three PBS defenders for a 73-yard TD reception.
Before that, West Feliciana lost points in the first quarter when Preston Cobb's 78-yard run was wiped out by a block-in-the-back penalty. Cobb was credited with 68 yards, but the Saints couldn't punch the ball in from the 20.
Once the Eagles got their ground game clicking, they proved to be unstoppable.
Following the Bell-to-Freeman TD, Parkview gashed and gouged the Saints for drives of 70, 82 and 50 yards to pad the lead to 56-14.
Now the Eagles are playing their best football of the season and get a week to rest for the postseason.
"That's always what you hope for," Guillot said. "It wasn't always easy with the way we started, but we feel like we're doing some good things right now."

France and New Zealand
Political relations
Relations between France and New Zealand are built on trust. Trade has increased since the visit of New Zealand's Prime Minister to Paris in 2003 and gained new momentum in 2016 with the visit of New Zealand's Prime Minister to France and the France's Prime Minister to New Zealand.
The joint declaration signed in Paris on 8 November 2013 by France's and New Zealand's Foreign Ministers, following the one signed on 9 September 2011 in Auckland, established four main areas of cooperation between our countries: the centenary of the First World War, the climate and the environment, the Pacific and regional integration of French communities and the United Nations Security Council.
The Embassy of France in New Zealand assists the community of 4,400 French nationals residing in New Zealand (9,000 total including people with dual citizenship and residents who are not recorded). More than 60,000 French visitors and tourists visit New Zealand every year, half of them from New Caledonia and French Polynesia.
Relations between New Zealand and New Caledonia have strengthened owing to the appointment and action of a New Caledonian delegate in the Embassy of France in Wellington since November 2012. His main role is to represent, promote and sustain New Caledonia's interests in New Zealand, with his responsibilities covering the political, economic, cultural and education, and scientific and technical sectors.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls' visit to New Zealand on 1 and 2 May 2016 – the first visit by a French Head of Government in 25 years – marked the high quality of the relationship between our two countries. In 2011, the French Minister of Foreign and European Affairs visited New Zealand and participated in the Post-Forum Dialogue of the Pacific Islands Forum.
New Zealand's Prime Minister, John Key, visited France in July 2016 for France's national holiday celebrations. New Zealand troops were invited to participate in the parade on the Champs-Élysées where he met with the President of the French Republic and Prime Minister. Previously, Mr Key made an official visit to France in September 2013 and also attended the opening ceremony of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference. New Zealand's Minister of Foreign Affairs visited France in November 2013, March 2015 and August 2016.
Relations are growing stronger in the Pacific where France is present through its three communities: New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis-and-Futuna. During a visit in July 2012, New Zealand's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murray McCully, reaffirmed the excellent relations between his country and New Caledonia; he could make another visit in 2017. He also visited French Polynesia in December 2013.
The first official visits of Caledonia's and Polynesia's presidents of governments to New Zealand in July 2005 sent a strong signal with regard to regional integration of our communities. New Zealand, which also supported in 2006 the accession of New Caledonia and French Polynesia to the status of associated member and that of Wallis and Futuna to the status of observer in the Pacific Islands Forum, the political and cooperation organisation of the region, helped Nouméa and Papeete achieve the status of full member in 2016.
France' and New Zealand's objectives converge in Oceania. France would like to step up integration of its Pacific communities in their regional and political environment that supports New Zealand. The France-Oceania Summits, held regularly since 2003 help to develop this policy. The fourth one took place in November 2015 in Paris with President Hollande in attendance.
Economic relations
Bilateral trade flows of approximately €800 million a year on average for the past ten years, with comparable amounts for exports and imports, increased significantly in 2015 reaching €1.1 billion. New Zealand ranks 59 among our customers and 64 among our suppliers. The trade surplus, which amounted to approximately €300 million in 2015 in France's favour, ranked New Zealand 28 among bilateral surpluses for France (and 55 in 2014).
Our exports are mainly industrial and dominated by "big contracts", particularly in the aviation industry. While they totalled €497 million in 2014, they posted a record of more than €700 million in 2015. These exports mainly consist of manufactured products, particularly capital goods; mechanical equipment; electrical, electronic and IT equipment; and transport equipment (automobiles, airplanes). French agrifood and pharmaceutical industries also performed well in the New Zealand market.
Our imports, mainly agricultural and agrifood, have ranged from €320 to €400 million since 2005. New Zealand's exports are concentrated in two main sectors: agricultural, forestry, fishing and aquaculture products and agrifood industry products (meat and dairy products). However, the range of New Zealand exports to our country has gradually become more diverse.
Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation
French is the most popular foreign language taught in the New Zealand education system (47,000 students), despite the growing popularity of Spanish and certain Asian languages. Every year, some 30 young people from New Zealand discover our country and our language as language assistants. Working Holiday visas for people aged 15 to 30 enable young people from both our countries to work or reside in the country visited for a maximum period of one year. For young French people, New Zealand is a very attractive destination since more than 8,000 of them visit the country every year. Bilingual French-speaking sections in Auckland and three Alliances Françaises (in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch) help generate interest in learning French in New Zealand.
In the cultural sector, partnerships are active in the areas of literature, with two writer residencies in Menton and Wellington, film (French Film Festival), as well as creative technology and contemporary art (artist residencies). Cooperation in sport is also important, with rugby cementing the connection between our two countries.
The New Zealand-France Friendship Fund, administered by an independent bilateral committee, contributes to human exchanges between our two countries. Every year it selects projects supporting and promoting cultural dialogue (cultural, school, athletic, academic exchanges).
At New Zealand's request, the French government returned the Maori heads from French museums. An initial ceremony was held in May 2011 at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington upon the return of the first head from the Musée de Rouen with a delegation from the Senate in attendance. The other Toi Moko heads were returned in January 2012.
Scientific cooperation between the two countries was consistently strong, the areas with high standards of excellence being very compatible (agronomics, biotechnologies, marine resources, environment and biodiversity, earth sciences and natural hazards, nanotechnologies). Scientific exchanges are supported in the joint scientific Dumont d'Urville programme Hubert Curien programme, financing equally the mobility of researchers between the two countries (some 50 projects since 2005), which celebrated its ten year anniversary last year.
France also encourages research in the Pacific on specific problems of the region via the Economic, Social and Cultural Cooperation Fund for the Pacific (two to four projects shared between New Zealand and French communities of the Pacific are backed every year by the Pacific Fund).
Defence Cooperation and Commemorations
Bilateral military relations continue to grow stronger benefiting the whole of Oceania. The most recent political-military consultations were held in March 2016 in Wellington. Regular visits of public figures enabled high-level contact between our forces in the Pacific and the New Zealand armed forces. Our armies cooperate on a regular basis particularly in the implementation of the FRANZ (France, Australia, New Zealand) Agreement during emergency and humanitarian interventions in the event of natural disasters in the region, as was the case to assist Tonga in 2014, Vanuatu in 2015, and Fiji in 2016, all three of which were hit by hurricanes.
The brotherhood of arms forged during the First World War is still very much alive. An agreement on shared memory was signed during a visit by Prime Minister Helen Clark in June 2004. Commemorations of the centenary of the First World War play an important role in our bilateral relationship. They pay tribute to the 106,000 New Zealand soldiers who fought in the war, 18,500 of whom were killed and 41,500 injured. The Minister of State for Veterans and Remembrance visited New Zealand in November 2013 to prepare these centenary commemorations, and his counterpart visited France in 2013 and 2015.
In 2016, New Zealand troops participated in the parade on the Champs-Élysées for France's national holiday celebrations. The commemorations of the Battle of the Somme were also an important part of 2016, with the biggest ceremonies held on 15 September in Longueval. In addition, France is building a commemorative monument in the National War Memorial Park in Wellington. The Minister of State for Veterans and Remembrance placed the first stone of this monument, which is to be inaugurated in 2018, during his visit to New Zealand in November 2016.

NEW YORK (AP) Goldman Sachs Group (GS) on Tuesday reported its first quarterly loss since it went public in 1999, losing $2.29 billion during its fiscal fourth quarter.
The loss proves the turmoil in the financial markets has tripped up even the best-run financial institutions. The bank has long been considered the premier investment bank on Wall Street, and in recent quarters, the sturdiest bank amid the market turmoil.
The venerable Wall Street company lost $4.97 a share in the quarter ended Nov. 30. In the year-ago quarter, Goldman earned $3.17 billion, or $7.01 a share.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, forecast a loss of $3.73 a share for the latest quarter. Over the past several weeks, analysts sharply slashed their estimates amid ongoing concern about investment losses. Just a month ago, analysts predicted Goldman would lose just 28 cents a share, with some analysts still predicting a quarterly profit.
Investors had braced for even deeper losses and appeared relieved by the report.
"The fear in the market was the results would be much worse, so the stock is rallying," said Walter Todd, portfolio manager at Greenwood Capital Associates.
It was Goldman's first loss since the fourth quarter of 1998, when the collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management and the Asian debt crisis roiled markets. Goldman went public in 1999.
The investment banking sector was turned on its head in September when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and Goldman and Morgan Stanley became bank holding companies. Like most banks, Goldman was tripped up by the plunging value of its investments, especially at its principal trading desk.
Goldman reported negative revenue of $4.36 billion in its trading and principal investments unit, which includes its fixed income, equities and principal investments divisions.
Overall, Goldman reported negative revenue of $1.58 billion, compared with revenue of $10.74 billion during the year-ago quarter. Analysts were expected quarterly revenue of $662.8 million.
The principal investments division recorded a net loss of $3.6 billion during the quarter. The division lost $2 billion on corporate investments, $961 million from real estate investments and $631 million tied to the firm's investment in Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Negative revenue in the fixed income division totaled $3.4 billion. The weakness was attributed to losses on investments including corporate debt, private and public equities and trading in credit products. The division's losses included $1.3 billion from non-investment-grade credit origination activities and $700 million on commercial mortgage loans and securities.
For the full year, Goldman earned $2.04 billion, or $4.47 per share. Goldman had remained profitable through the beginning of the year, while other financial firms posted huge losses tied to the troubled housing and credit markets.

Remember When Cabbage Patch Kids Dolls were Hot Items as Gifts?
Remember When?
Were you around to remember when the Cabbage Patch Kids were the hottest items around at Christmas-time as well as other times of the year?
Every kid especially girls wanted one or more for Christmas in the early 1980s!
For quite some time these were the most sought after gift for birthdays, Christmas and any other suitable gift giving occasion.
There was an absolute frenzy in the stores when new arrivals would be placed on the shelves.
Tug of war fights even broke out among frazzled parents trying to get just that right Cabbage Patch Kid doll for their little one that year.
My niece and almost every one of her friends back in the 1980s became Cabbage Patch collectors of those hot items and one did not suffice. Oh no!
Each one of my niece's little friends would bring armfuls of the custom dolls to each others' houses and play with them.
"How many did you get for Christmas this year?" was often heard.
Notes between the children would be compared and every parent, aunt and uncle, grandparent or other person giving gifts knew without a doubt what was on top of the desired wish list in those days.
Fortunately as the years passed, fights would no longer break out in retail stores as the supply of those special dolls increased.
The originators of the Cabbage Patch Kids were not only creative but had sheer marketing genius!
Originally called "Little People" the dolls were made of cloth and had distinctive puckered faces that were sold in craft shows.
Roger Schlaifer and his wife, Susanne got the world wide distributing rights to the dolls and renamed them Cabbage Patch Kids.
A story was attached to each doll.
Each one was supposedly "rescued" from a cabbage patch and good homes had to be acquired for them just as if they were being truly adopted.
Collectible Dolls
A birth certificate accompanied each Cabbage Patch Kid and production was generated in larger volume from "Babyland General Hospital" in Cleveland, Georgia to accompany the ever increasing demand.
Great marketing strategy!
While there have been different manufacturers and ownership of the Cabbage Patch Kids throughout the years including entities like Coleco, Hasbro and Mattel, the ingenious marketing continued and evolved.
Cabbage Patch Kids Accessories
Not only did my niece and other little girls want the Cabbage Patch dolls, but they also wanted to be able to change their clothes and thus a large line of Cabbage Patch Kids accessories was born.
Boy Cabbage Patch Kids were created along with girl dolls and baby dolls.
My niece even had a Cabbage Patch horse that had been given to her by her Daddy as a gift.
Song tells the story of the Cabbage Patch Kids
25th Anniversary Celebration
In 1983 prior to Christmas, these handcrafted dolls made the front cover of Newsweek Magazine!
The rush was on to get these specially made dolls for everyone's Christmas list that year!
Amazingly in all this time since those early days the toy makers have continuously been making Cabbage Patch Kids although in different mediums and sizes. I did not know when I started this hub if they were still popular with youngsters today.
From those first cloth dolls to some being made of plastic and even some porcelain ones, these Cabbage Patch Kids continue to entice children into wanting them.
Older collectors who might or might not have had them when they were children also collect them for the value that grows over time.
The fact that the 1992 U.S. Olympic team had the Cabbage Patch Kids as their official mascot did not hurt their popularity!
Nor did the fact of a U.S. commemorative stamp being issued in 1999 hurt publicity.
It helped keep these dolls in people's minds and hearts.
Are Cabbage Patch Kids on your Christmas list this year?
These little darlings have provided one of the longest running successful doll franchises in American history.
While they might not have quite the hype that they did in the heyday of the 1980s when adults literally pushed and shoved their way into stores to acquire the latest and most sought after Cabbage Patch Kid, ones you purchase today just might become a hot item for collectors of the future.
Who would have thought that this craze would have lasted this long? They may now be just warm instead of red hot, but they are still around and desired by your little ones!
Did you have a Cabbage Patch Kid when you were young?

Comments are welcome.
O yes I do. We traveled to Cleveland GA to select our very own doll. My daughter was so excited. She cared for it and loved it for many years and then passed it on to a cousin.
What a clever idea that was...the mas produced ones just are not as cute.
Angels are on the way to you, my friend. Hoping your Thanksgiving was wonderful ps
I have a Cabbage Patch doll. You don't want to know how many Beanie Babies I have!!! Interesting hub voted up.

YORK City Knights' on-loan threequarter James Saltonstall has been named in Italy's train-on squad for their European Championship 'B' opener against Ukraine on July 5.
Former Knights player-boss Paul Broadbent, who has taken on the head coach role for the Azzurri having assisted Carlo Napolitano during last autumn's World Cup, has named an initial 39-man party for the game in Gemona.
With Australia-based Italians not involved, the bulk of the squad come from Italy's domestic competition, including full-back Fabrizio Ciaurro, the Euro Shield player of the tournament last year, and back-rower Gioele Celerino, who both played in the historic World Cup warm-up game against England, alongside Warrington Wolves youngster Saltonstall.
Italy assistant-coach Kelly Rolleston said: "This year's European Championship gives us a chance to continue the good work done here over the last few years. Our aim is to blood more young players into our squad and with some new U18 activity we hope to bring our best young players up to an international standard."
Meanwhile, York's Austin Bell has been charged with Grade 'B' punching in the 49th minute of the Championship One defeat at Gloucestershire All Golds last Sunday.

LAWRENCE DALLAGLIO says England are equipped to deal with the hype surrounding their World Cup bid.
Clive Woodward's men travel Down Under at the summit of the Zurich World rankings after beating Aus- tralia, New Zealand, France and South Africa.
Dallaglio says, "We are comfortable about being one of the favou- rites because we have worked hard over the last 12 months and the results have reflected that. The pressure won't be a problem either because of the experience we have in the squad.
"Jason Leonard is in his fourth World Cup squad and has over 100 caps and with people like him, Martin Johnson and Neil Back we should have the experience to deal with what- ever the World Cup throws up at us.
"Everyone is expecting us to go and do really well but the expectation from within the squad is enormous as well. The players are increasing what they expect from themselves."
"There is so much hype around the competition. Everybody has been ask- ing me questions.
"Many people have already plotted our course to the World Cup final and there are some big matches like the South Africa game, but even Georgia will provide a massive test as well."

Get Doughnuts and Pizza at Spris' Honeybee Doughnut Pop-Up
Photo by Javier Storch
Beginning today, snag a pairing of doughnuts and pizza at Spris thanks to Honeybee Doughnuts. The one-weekend-only pop-up will feature hand-selected treats by Karen Muirhead, founder of Honeybee, coupled with warm slices of dough, sauce, and cheese.
"Pizza and doughnuts naturally go together," Muirhead says. "Any of our flavors would pair beautifully with any one of Spris' artisan pizzas."
Though there isn't a deal on purchasing a doughnut and a slice together (both must be paid for separately), treat yourself — it's the weekend, after all.
Consider a speck e burrata pizza with a guava and cheese doughnut. The creaminess of the cheese, saltiness of the meat, and sweetness of the guava blend into a sweet and savory afternoon bite. The rucola and prosciutto and the Honeybee caramel go well together too — the pizza's tangy pepper flavor complements the honey and caramel glaze. For something earthy, try the alba pizza, topped with truffle and mushrooms, along with a 'smores doughnut, which features a smoky aftertaste.
The pop-up, which runs today through this Saturday, will rotate among Spris' three Miami locations. The first day will be held at the Lincoln Road spot; on Friday, find doughnuts at the downtown outpost; and Saturday, visit Spris' midtown location.
Photo by Javier Storch
"It is an amazing opportunity to extend a taste of Honeybee Doughnuts outside our immediate area in South Miami," Muirhead says. "I am very excited to introduce our doughnuts to new customers and add accessibility to others who already know us."
Though flavors will rotate at each location, expect to see plethora of Pokémon- and emoji-inspired varieties, along with 'smores, guava and cream cheese, Oreo-filled, and Honeybee caramel, which fuses in-house honey and caramel glaze.
"We are always looking to bring something new, delicious, and exciting to our guests," Spris' Annabelle Bovet says. "We really believe this will be a huge hit."

I miss those days, the days when my children were young. I know they are still young, but there is something about having a baby in the house. Something about have young children that I absolutely adore.
The best years of my life were when Serafina was a baby, Kesa was 3 and Autumn was 7. Serafina is now 4, Kesa is 7 and Autumn is 11.
What makes me feel sad these days is the yearning that I have to get pregnant again and having to wait each month, only to realize that it hasn't happened. We have been trying to get pregnant for five months now. I have even been keeping track of ovulation and reading up a lot about it. Each month brings disappointment when I realize that our efforts have been unsuccessful. I keep faith and hope and console myself with the belief that it will happen when the time is right. A baby will come to us when it is ready and when it is the predestined moment.
I know that I am ready now. For a long time I wasn't sure. I wanted a baby and then I would think how hard it would be. Now that we are more adjusted to Serafina's autism and the kids have all grown older, I am ready. I don't debate about it back and forth in my head anymore. I don't make lists of the pros and cons.
I always knew that I wanted a large family. When I was a girl, I dreamed of having five daughters. I still want a large family (and it doesn't need to be all daughters), even though Serafina was diagnosed with autism and life is now a little more challenging. It still is always going to be harder having a special needs child, I have accepted that, but I can't allow the thought that I will never get to be pregnant and hold and raise another baby take root in my mind. And I believe that it is supposed to happen, otherwise I wouldn't be always think of it and hoping for it.
Craig is getting older now. He will be 51 this December, though I am still young (27 in February). I am just hoping and praying that we will conceive soon and hopefully have yet another child after that. I still hold tight to my large family dream. I believe that I was born to be a mother. There is nothing I love better than raising and loving my children.
Prayers and positive thoughts for us as we keep trying to conceive would be very much appreciated!
Much Love!

DESTINATION_ SOLOMON ISLANDS BOOK WITH BLUE HOLIDAYS Holiday includes return airfares, seven nights' accommodation in a guest roomat Uepi Island Resort, all meals, return domestic flights to Seghe with Solomon Airlines and boat transfers. From $2,859pp* twin share. For details and bookings, visit www.virginblue.com. au/holidays or call 13 15 16 (in Australia). *Ex Brisbane. Subject to availability. Conditions apply. For sale and travel until 30 June 2009. OnMalaita, a 45-minute local flight from Honiara, visitors can enjoy a more cultural experience. A 45- minute trip by powered canoe fromthe Malaitan capital of Auki delivers you to tour operator Serah Kei and her island bungalow in the middle of the Langa Langa Lagoon. Kei built the thatch-roofed bungalow herself, as well as the lush island it stands on. The local area is renowned for its artificial islands, built by piling up the surrounding coral and sand. The Malaitans headed seaward fromthe island's inland jungles about 600 years ago, chased by headhunting enemies. To protect themselves from being eaten alive, they built islands a few hundred metres out in the water. Headhunting only died out a few generations ago, but the artificial islands continue to be built to house a growing population. Today, things are a little calmer, especially viewed fromthe hammock that swings out over the still water. It's so quiet here, you can hear children singing on islands several kilometres away, and the crackle of sea life below. There's not much to do here after you've swung in the hammock, gone out fishing with the locals or plonked into the clear-blue, warmwater – a balmy 30-degrees Celsius year-round – to snorkel among electric blue starfish, giant clams and the odd reef shark or two. But this is whatmakes it so charming. something that almostdoesnot exist.Noone is ever ina hurry to get somewhere. A number of operators, including Kei, can arrange for you to travel in a dugout canoe to stay with a family in a small village. It's an opportunity to experience the ancient customs of the Solomon Islands up close. Here, visitors learn about bride money, a formof local currency that ismade fromstrands of carved shells, and that is still used byMalaitans for bridal dowries. Discover the culture of the Solomon Islands (above, inset) or explore the coral (main image) before fl oating on the current with turtles (right). NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT A discussion of the vast and mostly untapped beauty of the Solomon Islands is not complete without more on the aforementioned 'Solomons Time'. In this part of the Pacific, time is something that almost does not exist, in concept or in reality. Most things run late and no one is ever in a hurry to get somewhere. But after a few days on the islands, even the most clock-conditioned people will find themselves sliding into this timeless zone, joyfully letting go of schedules and giving in to the present moment. When this happens, you'll know you've been seduced by the Solomons. To find out how to book and earn rewards for your trip to the Solomon Islands, turn to page 161. 066 VIRGINBLUE Inthis part of the Pacific, time is ?

Proposal: 2.0
Michael Weiss-Malik wasn't satisfied with the beta version of his marriage proposal to his long-time girlfriend, Leslie Moreno back in April; he tells the San Jose Mercury News that he found it "lacking in pizzazz."
But unlike many guys who resign themselves to their so-called failures and move on, he spent months preparing a new proposal. "So I did what any Silicon Valley geek would do: I decided to upgrade to 'Proposal 2.0,'" he says.
And the second proposal was indeed geeked-out. Weiss-Malik hoisted up a sign that read, "Marry me, Leslie!!" where he knew a Google earth camera would be filming him. He then launched www.MarrymeLeslie.com, a web site with Moreno's contact information and a message imploring strangers to urge her to agree to marry him. The next day her inbox was flooded with emails.
It worked. She said yes – again.
Did your proposal not go as planned? Maybe you could do a do-over, but you better make sure it's got some pizzazz!

Fabulously Fun Friday: Eliminate Grammar Embarrassments
13 comments:
That was hilarious! It's always great when I can learn something on a Friday. I still have to sit there and think about it before I write down affect or effect. I think that one will always get me.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Cindy. I have to give the hat-tip to my mother, who sent that clip around last night in an e-mail 'to all my wordsmiths.'ReplyDelete
This is great! I admit I've been guilty of mispronouncing quite a few of those at one point or another. But I don't think it gets worse than pronouncing Gibraltar "Gibble-tar." Yeah.ReplyDelete
In Anne McCaffrey's excellent novel Dragonflight, the protag F'lar, wingleader at Benden Weyr and rider of the bronze dragon Mnementh. In my head, I always pronounced that 'Mehnem-neth.' Instead, it should be something more along the lines of 'numenth.' I mispronounced that name for 20 years until I was actually discussing the name of the dragon out loud with another fan and they pronounced it correctly. Color me embarrassed.ReplyDelete
I always appreciate it when authors include a pronunciation guide for difficult names - preferably in the front of the book, not the back.ReplyDelete
That was great! Had to watch it twice to catch it all.ReplyDelete
I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU for the effect vs affect lesson.ReplyDelete
I think the one thing I've mispronounced was plethora. I said pleTHORa instead of PLEthora. How embarrassing.
I hear mischievous people say "mis-CHEE-vee-us," but it's really "MISS-chuh-vus." Folks, there is no E or I between the V and "ous"!ReplyDelete
One word I've always had trouble getting my tongue around is "asphyxiate" or any of its forms. It seems unnatural to follow an S sound with an F sound, then an X sound. What other word does that? To get around it, I pronounce it with a silent S. Even though technically it's wrong, at least I don't stumble over it and people know what I'm talking about!
I just thought of "suffix," though that's two syllables instead of trying to get all three phonetics into one syllable. Maybe I should pronounce it "a-suffixiate"? LOL!ReplyDelete
Too funny, and informative! Macabre was my down fall, I said 'macabre' instead of 'macab' Ooops.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!
Thats great! I will no longer say "hold down the fort!"ReplyDelete
I never thought about that "hold down the fort" thing, but obviously... how could you do that? :) And glad I don't use the word macabre much - 'cause I certainly pronounce it wrong in my head! :DReplyDelete

CRUSOE silver brings the raw, sweet character of sugarcane to your glass without complications. GreenBar skipped the usual process of barrel ageing (for mellowing) and charcoal filtering (to strip out wood color and flavor) that's common to most silver rums. Instead, they use micro-oxygenation to mellow out the rum, which preserves the natural flavor and aroma of cane and avoids the necessity of charcoal filtering.

As writers, we wanted the words to play a more important role than they do in graphic novels. But by adding a visual dimension to our true stories – and portraying history in all its terrible and beautiful glory – we thought we could make the past shine through the shadows for a new generation of readers.
Frankly, I was also tired of bland, patriotically correct history, and was determined to wrest the past from the likes of Ken Burns, Tom Hanks, and the Texas School Board.
Now Pulp History is here. Simon & Schuster has just published the first two books in the series, Devil Dog: The Amazing True Story of the Man Who Saved America, by yours truly, and Shadow Knights: The Secret War Against Hitler, by my old partner in crime, Gary Kamiya, who helped me found Salon 15 years ago.
Devil Dog is the epic story of a great, unsung American hero (with a faintly ridiculous name)
Shadow Knights is the inspiring story of Winston Churchill's network of secret agents – everyday men and women who were trained in the dark arts of espionage and dropped into the heart of the Nazi killing machine. They were unlikely heroes – former schoolteachers, pacifists, prostitutes, bar bouncers. Even a Sufi children's book author and a gay butler who later worked for movie star Douglas Fairbanks Jr. "Shadow Knights" tells the story of the little-known spy operation that helped win World War II. But above all, it is an act of homage to the ordinary men and women who, like Frodo in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings," chose to walk straight into the jaws of hell.
Even though I'm a word man, I've always loved working with illustrators, cartoonists and designers -- at Salon, Mother Jones and other stops along my long and winding publishing career. The Pulp History series gives me the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best picture people around. Spain Rodriguez, the legendary Zap Comics artist, drew the striking illustrations for "Devil Dog." And Jeffrey Smith, an award-winning magazine illustrator, created the luxurious, detailed images for "Shadow Knights." As a boy, I was drawn to adventure classics like "Treasure Island" and "King Arthur" that were richly illustrated by such masters as N. C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle. When I got older, I fell for the lurid look of Hammett and Chandler stories and other pulp masterpieces. These pop artifacts were the inspiration for the Pulp History design.
The Pulp History series was given its look and feel by Norma Tennis, a brilliant San Francisco designer and painter. Norma, too, is a member of the Salon extended family. She happens to be married to Salon columnist, Cary Tennis. Pulp History is, in fact, largely a creation of Salon alumni, including Norma, Gary, Spain (who drew the "Dark Hotel" series for the web magazine), and the absolutely essential Karen Croft, who served as the executive producer on the Pulp series.
If enough people buy the first two books in the series, Pulp History will live on. So please clap hard for Tinker Bell to live. We already have plans for additional titles, including a gripping one in the works by my sister, Margaret, White Nights. It's about the KKK's reign of terror in Indiana during the 1920s – and how the
As our tagline goes, "Unbelievable, and all true!" History truly is stranger than pulp fiction.
If you have a favorite local bookstore, please buy "Devil Dog" and "Shadow Knights" there. Independent bookstores are one of the last vestiges of our tattered culture.

Is Steroid Addiction Increasing Police Brutality?
As of the time of this writing (May, 2015) news reports are consumed with controversy over high profile incidents in many U.S. cities where unarmed people were met with alleged excessive force. These incidents have led to expressions of frustration and misunderstanding, particularly in poorer neighborhoods and among racial minorities, where relationships between police officers and residents are sometimes characterized by mutual distrust.
These incidents and ensuing protests have led to discussions around ways policing should be approached differently, and steps that should be taken to prevent mistreatment at the hands of people saddled with the overwhelming duty of protecting a community. While the causes and solutions to police brutality and misunderstanding are complex and multifaceted, some journalists have suggested a link related to substance abuse.
Police officers and steroid use
No one can deny that policing is one of the most stressful and dangerous jobs on earth, as it involves regular exposure to danger, either emotionally disturbed or intent on committing violent crimes. It is not hard to imagine someone subjected to such intense work become numb and traumatized.
They have to work long, late hours that are often highly stressful, performing jobs that require high levels of alertness and physical fitness. These factors may lead to some officers looking for help from performance enhancing substances.
In a 2010 article on AOL News, Lawrence Payne, spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration noticed that many investigations on illegal steroid use involved police officers, calling it "a big problem" and "something we shouldn't ignore."
In one of the most high profile cases, Dr. Joseph Coalo had supplied as many as 248 police officers and firefighters in New Jersey with improperly written perceptions for muscle-building drugs with a high potential for misuse. Of the officers who had obtained steroids from Coalo, six were named in lawsuits alleging excessive force and civil rights violations. Others had been fired, dismissed, or arrested for off-duty infractions including assault and domestic abuse.
While finding a direct correlation could be difficult, there is no denying that increased aggression and diminished self-control is a very common side effect of steroid abuse.
Effects of steroids on behavior
One common side effect of steroid use is popularly known as "roid rage," a hyper aggressive, violent state of mind. Anabolic steroids artificially inflate muscle mass and strength by massively increasing the level of testosterone in the body. Increased testosterone can often have the effect of increasing aggressive, angry, and competitive emotions, increasing the desire to dominate.
When taken at too high levels, anabolic steroids frequently have a the side effect of dramatically increasing levels of irritability and aggression. There have been four studies that administered either steroids or a placebo to human volunteers and then tested for behavioral symptoms. In three of the studies, high steroid use dramatically increased feelings of irritability and aggression.
For reasons that are necessary to their work, officers carry weapons, are trained and authorized to use force when necessary, and frequently have to restrain or control people against their will. This profound reasonability requires an officer to be alert and deeply cognizant of his or her surroundings, soberly making judgments so force is only applied when it is absolutely necessary.
Increasing aggressive or angry emotions under such stressful situations, and with access to deadly weapons, even a mild elevation in levels of aggression might be a factor behind an unwise decision leading to a tragic loss of life, in addition to the harm it brings to the user. For these reasons, it may be valuable for police forces to educate their officers on the dangers of abusing steroids, as well as alternative ways of increasing strength and dealing with the stresses of their important work.

Kirehe district is the latest to have Sports for all being launched as the campaign spreads across the country.
The launch was made last Friday in the eastern district by Mayor of Kirehe, Protais Murayire and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sports and Culture, Edward Kalisa.
Speaking to the residents during the launching, Mayor Murayire said, "Every Friday of the week from 8:00am will be Sports day for all the residents of Kirehe. The main aim is to promote and develop different sports disciplines in the district, both among the youth and adults."
"According to the volleyball statistics in the country, Kirehe is one of the districts with more volleyball players in the national and youth levels in the country," revealed Murayire to the residents.
Murayire further added that, "The district has produced volleyball players who have represented Rwanda in the U-19, U-21 and the senior national teams in Algeria and
other intercontinental competitions."
The official day was graced with cheerful residents who turned up in huge numbers, singing and jogging a few kilometers around the district. The elderly walked as they showed their part of an on-willing appeal during the event.
Kalisa thanked the youth and residents of Kirehe for embracing sports in the district for the purpose of staying healthy.
"Engaging in sports can help to reduce stress, diseases like diabetes and heart related infections and increases physical and mental health. Youth should engage in sports for professional purposes," mentioned Kalisa in his speech.
Kalisa added that, "The number of youth who are employed in different sports disciplines has increased over time. Sports offers employment if it is taken as profession."
Apart from football, the department of culture and sports at the Kirehe District has initiated several games including basketball, volleyball, cross country marathon to mention but a few. The district is emphasizing the promotion of sports especially in schools.
Social centers have been built to support several disciplines and there is encouragement of indoor games. There have been inter-sector competitions.
The district received a consignment of size-4 and size-5 balls and nets for the development of grassroots volleyball. This is in line with the new district volleyball team that was initiated to compete in next year's national league competitions.

Omniverse Agents are field operatives of a highly advanced parallel universe Earth whose people have mastered inter-universal transit. These agents explore the myriad parallel Earths for a variety of purposes.
There is not one infinite universe, instead there are an infinite number of universes. These universes lie parallel to each other in a six-dimensional continuum: three dimensions of space, and three of time. The dimensions of space (height, width, and depth) are familiar. The linear motion of time (past-present-future) can be considered one "dimension" of time. Time's other dimensions are made up of probability fields that are the "height" and "width" of time. In essence, these temporal dimensions encompass every possible past, present, and future that could exist, and does, "elsewhere" in the continuum. In these higher temporal dimensions lie a potentially infinite number of parallel universes. The amount of divergence between universes - essentially the difference between their "probability valency" - determines how "far apart" they are in temporal terms.
Everything in a particular universe resonates on a quantum level with a unique probability valency. This probability valency is a constant. It cannot be changed by any known process. It is the basic foundation of existence. The probability valency is sort of a blueprint, a script, of its entire universe; the movements of each and every one of its particles in every moment of its time. The more alike the probability valencies are between universes, the more alike the universes themselves are. Minute differences in signatures don't drastically differentiate a timeline on the long term. This causes many universes to duplicate each other on a macroscopic scale, with altered events and personalities on a smaller scale.
Some events and individuals often appear duplicated in these universes despite the larger-scale historical differences between them. Certain events are "synchronized" between the universes so they move in a parallel manner with different moments having their equivalents in various universes. Although the patterns of events move in similar manners in different these universes, the intentions and characterizations can be vastly different.
Thus even on different Earths whose histories diverged decades or even centuries ago, many of the same people continue to still be born because despite the historical divergences similar probability valencies cause the same groups of people to often meet in the same place and time in various universes and the exact same genetic material to be combined to form the exact same next generation. Of course the personalities of the people are often very different than in other universes because they grew up in different conditions.
Although most of the myriad parallel Earths are echoes of the same basic blueprint, each Earth is different in some fashion from the rest. There are some that have never known Humankind, and where this is the case there has never risen another lifeform of comparable intelligence to Humanity. Across the parallels inhabited by Humankind there are many variations of history. Almost all share the Eastern or Euro-Asian continent as the cradle of whatever civilisation they have.
The Earth known as "Earth Zero" developed along one of the five standard historical templates. Rising to a Middle Ages which saw the rapid growth of the Holy Roman Empire, the Germanic states were strongly united in an unusually coherent and effective alliance. Their rulers, and later the World Emperors, maintained a continuity of lineage and policy for nearly five centuries. Dominated by this Empire neither England, Spain or France developed into major powers. The Ottoman Empire briefly opposed the Holy Roman Empire; the resulting Thirty Years' War served only to sharpen the technological revolution begun by Gutenberg and the medieval alchemists. Through a lengthy process of war and diplomacy the Empire rose to world domination. By the end of the seventeenth century the "Boy Emperor", Frederick X, the puppet of a decadent and glittering court, held sway over the entire globe.
There had, during the Empire's long climb towards misrule, been another power rising. Science had been slowly assimilated, over the last two centuries, as the religion of the masses. The Futurist Renaissance with its new ideals, its reappraisal of the world in the light of scientific thought, and its contempt for the old doctrine and dogma (in which the rule of the Emperor was enshrined) was the movement of the people. And, more importantly, that of the military as well.The world-wide military coup, the execution of Frederick and his court, followed by the establishment of a dictatorship based on the principles of the Advancement of Science was inevitable, merciless, and brief. "I am the Son of Scientific Thought", declared the first World Consul, Napoleon Bonaparte, when the world was finally brought under the Futurists' rule in 1802.
The science of this Earth grew by leaps and bounds, unfettered by the socio-religious prejudice usual on other parallels. By 1800 John Dalton had perfected his Theory of Relativity. By 1820 a man and woman had set foot upon the Moon. In 1850 world poverty and famine had been abolished. And, working quietly in London, the mathematical genius Karl Marx was progressing towards a discovery which would change his world. He was constructing a mathematical model, at first of the universe, then of the "omniverse" his equations predicted.
In 1881 he had his proof. Later, he proposed the annotation system still used on Earth Zero to designate different continua. His own Earth was taken as a norm, thus 00-00-00 for Earth Zero; so 00-01-00 and 00-00-01 would be flanking parallels, one unit of "probability valency" removed, and so forth. Marx announced his discovery to an Earth much changed from the iron rule of science. Over the last century, the dictatorship had mellowed into benevolent rule. In 1900, this dictatorship and the powers of the World Consul were dissolved by the Athens accord and the World Government was established. Earth Zero had become the first technologically advanced Earth to live in harmony with itself.
One of the first acts of this new administration was to initiate the "Omniverse Programme" to research the status of parallel worlds and technology to travel to them. London was chosen to be the site of the giant "Omniverse Prime" complex, built to house the most advanced technology of the time and the specialists the project required. In the long, hot summer of 1905 the Omniverse Prime complex became fully operational. The researchers would come to discover that although the probability valency of matter cannot be altered by any known means, it is possible to place matter in a state of "quantum probability flux." This causes the affected matter to become "unstuck" in the space-time continuum, shifting into another universe.
Essentially the process involves putting an object into a state of quantum flux matched to the particular quantum resonance of the other universe. The affected matter shifts out of one universe and into the other. Returning to the original universe is a matter of once again placing the object in a state of quantum flux and matching the probability valency of the original universe. This is somewhat easier, since the object's natural probability valency always matches that of the object's home universe.
The means of doing this involves using a "quantum probability vortex", a weak point in the space-time continuum where different parallel universes come in contact. It can be thought of as a kind of keyhole between different universes. Normally, a quantum vortex is extremely small, and short-lived, of little concern to anyone. However, certain high-energy interactions can cause a quantum vortex to grow and de-stabilize, creating a more volatile interface between universes. Exposure to such a vortex can place objects in a state of quantum flux, causing that object to shift between different parallel universes. This method of travel is called "quantum probability translocation."
From these discoveries, the InterDimensional Ship was invented. Fitted with a quantum probability flux generator, the ID Ship is a transportation craft the can essentially teleport between parallel universes. These crafts are all equipped with an invisibility shield that works by bending light around the ship. In 1910, the first group of "Omniverse Agents" began conducting detailed surveillance of various parallel Earths.
In their explorations, the Omniverse Programme was able to acquire various technologies that enabled Earth Zero to make bounds and leaps in their own technological progression. Eventually, they decided to spread the fortunes to other universe. In 1926, Earth Zero's World Government used their advanced technology to help the people of a parallel Earth, who regarded them as gods. They provided them with medical and scientific aid, better communications and weapons, but the people of that Earth were not ready for such advancements, and a world war broke out that killed over a hundred million. Realizing their mistake, the World Government official decreed a policy of non-interference in other universes, mandating agents of the Omniverse Programme to do no more than observe and gather knowledge.
And the Omniverse Agents have continue that policy throughout the decades as they serve as the masters of inter-universal exploration and pioneering adventures across the entire omniverse. To those few outside of Earth Zero who know of their existence, they are legendary.

The New York Rangers scored in overtime to complete a 4-3 comeback win over the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden on Thursday and avoid elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Trailing 3-0 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-final series, the Rangers needed to win at home to force a Game Five in Boston on Saturday.
The Bruins, Stanley Cup winners two years ago, looked to be heading towards a sweep, leading 2-0 and then 3-2 on Thursday before the Rangers fought back to force overtime where Chris Kreider scored the winner.
"It's going to be a challenge but I'm really happy we got this one," said New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who made 37 saves.
"This was a big one obviously. It was do or die, but I'm happy with the way we responded. We're really excited about getting another chance."
After a scoreless first period, the game suddenly burst to life with three goals in the second and third.
The Bruins broke the deadlock when Nathan Horton scored a power play goal after New York forward Kris Newbury received a penalty for interference on Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask, who made 28 saves.
"They gave us some life. We found a way. We're still breathing," Rangers coach John Tortorella said.
Boston, who had the first seven shots on goal in the opening
period, then doubled their lead when Torey Krug scored another power play goal.
The Rangers had only scored a total five goals in the first three games and seemed to be out of luck when Ryan McDonagh hit the post with a snap shot.
But Carl Hagelin cut the deficit with a backhanded goal after Rask lost his balance and tripped over midway through the second period to give the Blueshirts hope.
Derek Stepan then tied the game with a wraparound goal less than two minutes into the third after he stole the puck from Boston defenseman Zdeno Chara.
"It was a pretty even game. We made some mistakes and they capitalised on those mistakes," said Chara.
"We had some chances but they scored more goals. Obviously they were desperate. It's 3-1 so we will get ready for the next one."
Tyler Seguin put Boston back in front when he scored on a wrist shot but the visitors received a penalty for having too many players on the ice.
Bryan Boyle scored from the ensuing power play to tie the score at 3-3 and set up overtime which ended at 7:03 when Kreider buried the puck in the back of Boston's net.
"The guys stepped up. Derek stepped up big. He was a horse tonight," said Boyle.
"We're going to hang around, they know that. We're not going to lay around and die."
