Neighborhoods oppose housing for UW-W students
It�s an old problem that has spread beyond the central university area into all districts within the community.
Students often disrupt the normal routines, the quiet and aesthetic beauty of those neighborhoods, Nosek said.
They are parking illegally across sidewalks, hosting loud parties and failing to keep their lawns free of litter and trash.
Last year, several university students rented a house next door to Council President Marilyn Kienbaum.
One evening she was awakened by them yelling at their dog to hurry and go to the bathroom.
When she heard the dog yip, Kienbaum got up and went to scold her young neighbors, she said.
�I asked them if they could go to the bathroom while someone was yelling at them,� Kienbaum said.
She took care of the problem, Kienbaum said.
The city has two ordinances, however, that could help eliminate the student-housing problem.
One of the ordinances prohibits more than three unrelated people from living together in a house zoned for a single family, while the other ordinance prohibits more than two vehicles from being parked regularly in the driveways or in front of those homes.
�The trouble is in enforcing the ordinances,� Nosek said.
The student-housing dilemma has been compounded by the university�s five-year construction project that has included the razing of Baker and Salisbury residential halls to accommodate the new College of Business and Economics.
Two other residential halls, White and Sayles, are scheduled to be razed in 2008, the same year that construction will begin on a suite-style hall. But the new hall will not be completed until 2010.
Frank Bartlett, associate director of the university�s office of residence life, said the exact number of students living off campus because of the loss of on-campus housing is unknown.
�We started the semester with students living in lounges,� Bartlett said. �We�re tight for space, but we�re not to the point where there is no room at the inn.�
Older students often don�t want to have roommates, and single rooms are at a premium, Bartlett said.
The citywide advance of students into neighborhoods also has been aided by parents, who buy properties for their kids to occupy while they attend the university.
�They put their kids and three to four others in these homes,� Nosek said.
In addition, many of the older homes that could be sold to young families as starter homes are being bought for student housing. That has driven up the cost for such homes, he said.
�The pinch is being felt by a larger and larger segment of the community,� Nosek said.
Enrollment in the school district likely could be higher than it is if young families could afford to buy houses here, Nosek said.
�It�s going to take guts on the part of the city council to promote a resolution of this problem,� Nosek said.

The distal femurs of 100 subjects (50 men, 50 women) from the Malay population aged between 19 and 38 years were scanned to measure the anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) width. The mean AP values were 64.02 ± 3.38 mm and 57.33 ± 3.26 mm for men and women, respectively, and the mean ML values were 74.91 ± 3.52 mm and 64.53 ± 3.07 mm. We compared our data to that published previously for the Chinese and Indian populations. It was found that the Malay population had smaller distal femur than that of the Chinese but was larger than that of the Indian population (P < 0.05). In conclusion, although it is well established that Asians have a smaller distal femur size than that of the Western population, the variations in different Asian ethnicities may need to be considered when designing the appropriate knee implant.

What has minimalism meant to me? First of all, because of minimalism, I have the feeling of continuity with an older generation of composers. I find the older American minimalists (Reich, Glass, Riley, and M. Monk) to be the musical parents that the other older composers never were. They seem so much like my composing friends as people and me. They look like us, hear like us, and want the same things for music's future. They have always been, in my experience, with few exceptions, more kind, generous, and real than the other available musical elders.
As to the music itself, what it has meant to me has always been a changing thing, much like a minimalist piece itself: to the superficial listener, it is always the same, but in reality, it always moves, grows and changes. At first, I hated minimalism. It was the opposite of what I was looking for in a new music, or so I thought. But as I examined and re-examined the sounds that I could not get out of my head, I began to see my values and myself in them. What I first saw as a slap in tradition's face gradually came to seem the truest extension of the classical music tradition that meant so much to me. What seemed to me so anti-audience, so unfeeling and modernistic was revealed by experience to be a music capable of truly moving listeners, and bringing them back into caring about new classical music. And somehow it took me quite a while to see minimalism as the harvesting of great elements and ideas from rock music and recent jazz.
So I became a fan of minimalism. I saw its circle of influence spread out to include more and more of my composing friends. The term went from being an accusation to being a rallying cry. And as each new composer found a new way to build on it, the depth and scope of the original minimalist composers seemed greater and greater. Did they see their early works as a foundation for a whole new wave of music-making, performance, and audience-building? As ideas from minimalism found their way into my own music, it seemed a relief, a shelter, a degree of assumption that I could make. And that is where my trouble with it began again.
By now, I am good and sick of minimalism in my own music. I have not at all lost interest in the early minimalists…rather, I have moved them in my mind to the shelf of total classics, to be studied and loved forever. I find myself somewhat less interested in minimalism in the works of my peers. It seems so automatic now, a club to be joined, easily-won beauty that loses value every day. But in my own music, I dread falling back into its obvious procedures, the predictable flow of minor surprises, and the directionless kineticism. I hunt in the music of Johann Bach, John Cale, Ligeti, Tom Petty, downtown illbient DJ's, anywhere and everywhere to find fuel to reach escape velocity from that beautiful vortex of minimalism. But just as Bach and Mozart are inescapable in the music of Wagner and Schumann, music that on the surface seems to rebel strongly against them, I still find that the music I make these days leads back to the first minimalists, in the end.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a nationally respected headteacher, who has died following an illness.
A colleague said the absence of Joan Sjovoll, headteacher of Framwellgate School Durham, in Durham City, would be greatly felt in the education world and her legacy would continue across the region and beyond.
Mrs Sjovoll joined Framwellgate in 2001, having previously been headteacher at Deerness Comprehensive School, in Ushaw Moor.
Loading article content
She helped secure the North-East's Science Learning Centre on the Framwellgate campus, served in a number of national advisory roles and was closely involved with Newcastle Science City.
Her hopes that Framwellgate would become home to a £60m world-class science village were dashed when the project was scrapped under Government cutbacks in summer 2010.
However, in 2011 she guided the school to academy status.
Alisdair Nicholas, Framwellgate's acting headteacher, said Mrs Sjovoll had led the school on a journey of innovation and success, demonstrating a singular drive for continuous improvement which brought out the best in students, teachers and the wider school community.
He said: "She had an extraordinary focus which was firmly trained on securing the best possible education for her students and this commitment, together with her professionalism and knowledge of the wider world of education were not only recognised locally but nationally.
"Joan's legacy will continue across the region and beyond and her absence will be greatly felt within the world of education."
Mrs Sjovoll's daughter, Kirsten, said: "Words will never be sufficient to capture how incredible she was.
"She was young to be taken from us and still had so much to contribute professionally and personally. My hope is that her legacy might continue to inspire people to do more than they thought they could and to do it well."

TAMPA, FL (WWAY) — Thanks to our friends at WFTS-TV in Tampa we're able to showcase Wilmington resident Connor Barth on our Wednesday sports. The former Hoggard kicker is having his best season yet in the NFL. Click play video in order to check out our feature on the oldest Barth brother. Connor's younger brother is a senior at UNC. Casey Barth actually broke Connor's career field goal record at North Carolina earlier this year.
TAMPA, FL (AP) – Connor Barth is proving his worth to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The fifth-year kicker arguably has been the team's most dependable performer during a 1-3 start, converting all nine of his field goal attempts to extend the longest current streak in the NFL to a franchise-record 25 straight dating to October of last season.
Barth is also 7 for 7 on extra points through four games, keeping him perfect in 102 career tries – consistency that shows why the Bucs used their franchise tag to avoid losing the 26-year-old to free agency last winter, then subsequently rewarded him with a four-year, $13.2 million contract.
Barth will try to extend his streak against Kansas City Sunday when Tampa Bay hosts the Chiefs.

WILMINGTON, NC (UNCW) — Nick Njuki's blast from 24 yards out sailed into the upper left corner with 2:06 remaining in the second overtime to lift James Madison to a 2-1 win over host UNCW in Colonial Athletic Association men's soccer action on Wednesday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
The Dukes raised their record to 5-5-2 overall and remained towards the top of the CAA standings with a 3-1-1 mark. UNCW, meanwhile, saw its record dip to 5-7-1 and 2-3-0.
On the winning goal, Njuki picked up a loose ball that was miss-cleared by the Seahawk defense. He took a touch to his left and fired off a shot that tucked itself just under the crossbar.
JMU got on the board first in the 35th minute on Eric Schmidt's first goal of the season. Markus Bjorkheim forced a turnover and broke towards the end line. He sent a cross to the right side where Schmidt headed his shot inside the near post.
Jamie Dell notched his team-leading fourth goal of the season to draw the Seahawks even with 57 seconds remaining in the first half. Dell broke down the right flank and cut back twice on JMU defenders before firing a shot inside the near post from 12 yards out.
Both teams had opportunities towards the end of regulation and the first overtime. UNCW's Thomas Driver found himself unmarked six yards out and fired a shot in the 88th minute, but his shot was blocked on the goal line by Dale Robins-Bailey to keep the score tied.
The Seahawks again nearly ended the contest two minutes into the second overtime, but freshman Nathaniel Goodwin's volley from close range sailed over the cross bar.
JMU keeper Kyle Morton faced 20 shots and made nine saves. Seahawk goalkeeper Brad Newman finished with three saves, including a stop in the 78th minute on a header by Josh Grant.
The Seahawks continue their homestand on Saturday when they host nationally-ranked Old Dominion at 7 p.m.
Athletics 4, Tigers 3 – Series tied 2-2
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Seth Smith hit a game-tying two-run double off Detroit closer Jose Valverde in the ninth inning and Coco Crisp capped Oakland's most dramatic comeback yet with an RBI single as the Athletics staved off elimination for a second straight night with a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 of the AL division series Wednesday.
The A's rode 14 walkoff wins in the regular season to an improbable AL West title. Those paled in comparison to No. 15, which set up a win-or-go-home Game 5 against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.
Josh Reddick started the rally with a single just under the glove of diving second baseman Omar Infante. Josh Donaldson followed with a double off the wall in left-center and both runners scored on Smith's double. Two outs later, Crisp lined a single to right and Smith scored easily when Avisail Garcia couldn't handle the ball.
Yankees 3, Orioles 2, 12 innings – Yankees lead series 2-1
NEW YORK (AP) – Raul Ibanez homered as a pinch hitter for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles were tied 2-all going to the 11th Wednesday night in Game 3 of their AL division series.
With the best-of-five series tied at 1, Baltimore and reliever Jim Johnson were two outs from taking control. But with Rodriguez 1 for 12 with no RBIs and seven strikeouts, Yankees manager Joe Girardi sent up Ibanez, who lined a 94 mph pitch into the right-field seats.
It was the first time Rodriguez had ever been pinch-hit for in a postseason game, according to STATS LLC.
Orioles rookie Miguel Gonzalez had allowed one run and five hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and a walk. Ryan Flaherty and Manny Machado, the bottom two hitters in Baltimore's batting order, hit solo home runs off Hiroki Kuroda.
Coming in, the Orioles were 76-0 this year when leading after seven innings. They had also won 16 extra-inning games.
Phil Hughes will start for the Yankees on Thursday night in Game 4 of the best-of-five series. Chris Tillman or Joe Saunders will start for Baltimore.
Cardinals 8, Nationals 0 – Cardinals lead series 2-1
WASHINGTON (AP) – Chris Carpenter was every bit the postseason ace he's been in the past for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Taking the mound for only the fourth time in 2012, missing a rib after surgery to cure numbness on his right side, the 37-year-old Carpenter pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, rookie Pete Kozma delivered a three-run homer, and the defending champion Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 Wednesday to take a 2-1 lead in their NL division series.
All in all, quite a damper on the day for a Nationals Park-record 45,017 red-wearing, towel-twirling fans witnessing the first major league postseason game in the nation's capital in 79 years.
Three relievers finished the shutout for the Cardinals, who can end the best-of-five series in Thursday's Game 4 at Washington.
Kyle Lohse will start for St. Louis. Ross Detwiler pitches for Washington, which is sticking to its long-stated plan of keeping Stephen Strasburg on the sideline the rest of the way.
Giants 8, Reds 3 – Series tied 2-2
CINCINNATI (AP) – Facing elimination again, the San Francisco Giants came out swinging. Got a saving relief appearance from Tim Lincecum, too.
Angel Pagan led off the game with a home run, Gregor Blanco and Pablo Sandoval connected later and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 on Wednesday, evening their NL division series at 2-all.
Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young winner relegated to the bullpen, also delivered. He entered in the fourth with the Giants ahead 3-2, struck out six while giving up just one run in 4 1-3 innings, and allowed his team to pull away.
The Giants can complete an unprecedented comeback on Thursday. No team has recovered from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series by winning three on the road, according to STATS LLC.
Matt Cain, who lost the series opener and has yet to beat the Reds in three tries this season, will start Game 5 against Mat Latos (LAY'-tohs).

UEFA has fined the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) €100,000 (£77,000) for incidents including the use of fireworks and racist behaviour of supporters.
A series of disturbances occurred during Croatia's 2-2 draw with Czech Republic in the Euro 2016 group stage in Saint-Etienne on Friday.
A statement on UEFA's official website on Monday also said the HNS has been banned from selling tickets to fans identified as hooligans for the remainder of the tournament, a sanction that is deferred under a probationary period.
UEFA said that the sanctions are open to appeal.

At the weekend, the prefect for Saint-Etienne blamed UEFA for the crowd trouble at the match at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.
Evence Richard, the top official in the Saint-Etienne area, told local media that UEFA should have added "between 150 and 200" security agents at the stadium "to properly fulfil its mission."

Effects of morphine on the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task: role of state-dependent learning

The amnesic effects of morphine may be related to its action on nociception, anxiety, or locomotion. This effect is also suggested to be related to state dependency.
The aims of this study were to verify the effects of morphine on mice tested in the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task (DAT) that uses light and noise as aversive stimuli and allows the concomitant evaluation of learning, memory, anxiety, and locomotion and also to verify the possible role of state-dependent learning in the effects of morphine.
Methods and results
The DAT was conducted in a modified elevated plus-maze. In the training, the aversive stimuli were applied when mice entered in one of the enclosed arms, whereas in the test, no stimuli were applied. The main results showed that (1) pretraining morphine (5–20 mg/kg i.p.) induced retrieval deficits (evaluated by the time spent in the aversive arm in the test) but not acquisition deficits (evaluated by the decrease in aversive arm exploration along the training); (2) pretest morphine (5–10 but not 20 mg/kg) counteracted this deficit; (3) morphine induced hypolocomotion (decreased number of entries in the arms), irrespective of memory alterations; and (4) morphine did not alter anxiety-like behavior (evaluated by the time spent in the open arms) during the training.
Morphine given before training induces retrieval deficits in mice tested in the DAT, and these deficits could be related to morphine-induced state-dependent learning. Neither the memory deficit induced by pretraining morphine nor the reversal of this deficit by pretest morphine seems to be related to anxiety levels or locomotor alterations.

As of September 1st, major-league teams will be allowed to expand their active, 25-man rosters to include any player on the 40-man roster. Though not every team will utilize every available roster spot, most teams do use the roster-expansion period to give playing time to younger players without starting their arbitration clocks.
In what follows I've attempted to cobble together a Roster Expansion Dream Team of sorts, looking at one player at each position that might find his way to -- and perform in -- the majors.
When considering each player, I've looked not only at production and pedigree, but also at the odds that said player might get playing time were he called up. Furthermore, I've isolated my choices only to players who have seen no major-league action yet in 2011 -- which is why, for example, you won't find players like Ryan Lavarnway or Anthony Rizzo on this list.
C: Max Ramirez, 26
Organization: San Francisco Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 137 PA, .333/.397/.610 (.378 BABIP)
Comments: Was real-live prospect just a few years ago, but actually on third team just this season. If Giants decide that Chris Stewart-Eli Whiteside combo package lacks pop (hint: they do), Ramirez could get the call.
1B: Matt Hague, 26
Organization: Pittsburgh Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 557 PA, .309/.372/.463 (.330 BABIP)
Comments: Doesn't really have a standout tool (12 HR, 4 SB), but has walked almost as much as he's struck out each of last two seasons and, you know, plays for the Pirates.
2B: Matt Antonelli, 26
Organization: Washington Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 344 PA, .293/.386/.448 (.339 BABIP)
Comments: Was 50th overall prospect in 2008, per Baseball America, but dealt with number of injuries 2008-10. Speed (6-for-12 SB) appears to have decreased, but Antonelli has played second, third, and short at Triple-A Syracuse.
3B: Taylor Green, 24
Organization: Milwaukee Current Level: Majors
Stats: 487 PA, .336/.413/.583 (.360 BABIP)
Comments: Was actually promoted this past Saturday, but still counts because author says so. Green's preserved his plate discipline from previous campaigns but added power, posting an ISO (SLG minus AVG) for first time in his career. Might be auditioning for 2012 job. Could get decent amount of PAs.
SS: Tyler Pastornicky, 21
Organization: Atlanta Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 115 PA, .373/.414/.422 (.407 BABIP)
Comments: Arrived last year in Yunel Escobar trade. Slashed .299/.345/.414 (.315 BABIP) in 395 PA at Double-A before July promotion. With Alex Gonzalez entering free agency, he could be next year's starter.
OF: Brett Jackson, 23
Organization: Chicago (NL) Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 180 PA .323/.397/.595 (.447 BABIP)
Comments: Lack of contact (27.1% K rate in minors this year) very much an issue, but rated as 74th and 38th overall prospect by BA in 2010 and '11, respectively, given excellent tools. Has 19 HR and 21 SB in 108 games between Double- and Triple-A this season.
OF: Leonys Martin, 23
Organization: Texas Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 183 PA, .263/.315/.317 (.301 BABIP)
Comments: Agreed to five-year deal with Rangers in May after defecting from Cuba. Triple-A slash-line is less impressive than .348/.435/.571 (.347 BABIP) he posted in 135 Double-A, but stolen-base rate has improved from 10-for-18 to 8-for-10 between levels.

Comments: Was Milwaukee's Minor League Player of the Year in 2009, but missed basically all of 2010 with fractured foot. Has hit five homers since July promotion. With Milwaukee thin in center, could gets time there -- esp. if Milwaukee clinches early.
UT: Clint Robinson, 26
Organization: Kansas City Current Level: Triple-A
Stats: 550 PA, .328/.403/.535 (.358 BABIP)
Comments: Robinson's 2011 at Triple-A is basically a carbon copy of 2010 at Northwest Arkansas, minus a couple-few homers. Blocked at major-league level by Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer, but could see PAs with Kansas City well out of playoff hunt.

Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories. Kids, parents and grandparents can all have fun together colleting sports cards.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: The key factor to remember when building your baseball cards, football cards, other sports cards and non-spots card collections is that the condition of the baseball cards, football cards, or other cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same sports card in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many fans. Some buy only brand new sports cards while other buy only old vintage baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

Distributed Optimal Relay Selection for Improving TCP Throughput in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Approach
In Cognitive Radio (CR) networks, cooperative relaying is emerging as a key technology to improve the performance of Secondary Users (SUs), while ensuring the quality of service of primary users. Most previous work considers maximizing physical layer throughput as a design criterion. However, the end-to-end Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) performance perceived by SUs is largely ignored. In this paper, the authors take a cross-layer approach to jointly consider optimal relay selection strategy, adaptive modulation and coding and data-link layer frame size to maximize the TCP throughput in CR networks. Specifically, they formulate the CR relay network as a restless bandit system, where the finite-state Markov channel model is used to characterize the time-varying channel state.

Get voucher from airline before departure
Published 2:43 pm, Friday, October 25, 2013
Q: My sister and I recently had a confirmed flight on Delta Air Lines from San Francisco to Dayton, Ohio. The itinerary included a 90-minute stopover in Atlanta.
When I arrived in San Francisco and checked in at the kiosk, I was asked if I would be willing to volunteer my seat. I indicated yes, checked my bag through to Dayton and arrived at the gate.
While waiting at the gate at San Francisco, I was called to the desk. The gate agent notified me that she could put me on a flight to Detroit, and then continue to Dayton. I agreed to be rebooked and asked if my sister, who was on the same flight but had a separate reservation, could also be rebooked with me. The gate agent rebooked us both and handed us new boarding passes. She rushed us to the gate so we could get on the Detroit flight, which was leaving momentarily.
While I was on the plane I realized that the gate agent had not issued us a voucher. The flight into Detroit arrived late, resulting in a missed connection to Dayton, an overnight stay and luggage that didn't arrive until the following day.
I was told I needed to contact Delta's customer care department to address the issue of the voucher for denied boarding not being issued in San Francisco. A representative told me the reason we were not issued a voucher was because our flight was not oversold, but delayed by 15 to 30 minutes. This, of course, makes no sense, since we had a longer stopover in Atlanta.

I want our vouchers. Can you help us get them?
- Shirin Vakharia, San Francisco
A: If Delta promised you a flight voucher, then it should have given it to you. But it's not entirely clear to me what the Delta agent was trying to do when you were rebooked.
At any rate, the time to settle that question would have been before you left, and not afterward. Any airline is going to be reluctant to offer you a voucher based on a kiosk interaction. That would have to be verified by a gate agent and settled before your departure.
It's unclear what happened before your Detroit-bound flight departed. Were they trying to prevent a delay (if they were, they actually made things worse) or were they trying to remove two passengers from an oversold flight (if that's the case, then they misrepresented the facts when you called).
I'm fairly certain that some airlines fudge the circumstances of a delay to suit their interests. For example, broken air conditioning - a "mechanical" delay - can be turned into a weather delay, because it lets an airline off the hook for covering rooms and meal vouchers for displaced passengers. But I don't think that's what happened here. I think this was just a misunderstanding.
I contacted Delta on your behalf and after reviewing its files, it offered you two $400 flight vouchers.

NASHVILLE — Just as they appear to be coming together on the ice, the Senators engaged in some valuable team bonding Thursday night in Music City.
The timing of their traditional rookie dinner could not have been better.
With just one day in Nashville, a sub-par performance in Saturday's game against the Predators could have been blamed on the distractions of the attractions. With two, all the fun should be out of their system in time for Saturday's game against the Predators.
"It's a really cool city," said Bobby Ryan, who as a former Western Conferencer has had more visits here than most of his teammates. "We're obviously right downtown, and there's plenty to do on the strip there, and things to see. It's nice we can get all that stuff out of the way today, and then focus on (work) tomorrow, because we have a day and a half to get ready for them."
The stuffed shirts out there will argue that the handsomely paid players are on a business trip, and nothing but the job should be on their minds. But the schedule, especially a jammed packed one during this Olympic season, really is a mental grind. Without the odd release, they'd be much more apt to crack down the stretch.
Getting together for a few laughs and drinks is both cathartic and unifying.
Of course, the timing is also perfect because the Senators are on a high and not in one of their aimless, inconsistent runs.
Their four game winning streak was snapped Wednesday in Denver, but for a large part it was also one of their most impressive displays of the season.
After a poor first five minutes, they dominated a very good Colorado Avalanche team until being swarmed in the final stages of the third and in overtime.
"The sun came up again today," Clarke MacArthur said with a touch of sarcasm. "You've got to look at the whole game. We're down 2-0, to come back, get up 3-2 and lose it, it's a tough loss but it's a huge point for us. I mean, it's nine out of 10 (possible points in the last five games). That's the way I like to look at it. We're rolling right now.
"It's a tough way to finish last game but we just need to answer it with a good one Saturday."
Coach Paul MacLean discussed the breakdowns with the players before practice, then worked on the finer points of their game during an on-ice session at Bridgestone Arena Thursday afternoon.
"Mac stressed today that's the opportunity for you to fall back on our structure, and to protect the house," said Ryan, referring to the Senators play with the lead and the opponents furiously attacking. "We didn't do a very good job of that.
"We were able to watch on video today and it's great that we were in the positon, now we can look at it as a learning experience and hopefully we get that opportunity again Saturday night. I think that's the main goal.
"Obviously with the four game win streak we were on a bit of a roll, but I don't think we took a major step back, like we've said in the past where it's been one or two good then a bad one. I think we kept the staples of our game. We found a way to get a point."
In a tight East Conference playoff race that began in earnest a month ago, that point is as important as a night out for the boys.
After ending a 10-game goal less slump, MacArthur now has going a four-game scoring streak that equals the best of his career. With 15 on the season, he is already closing in on his best campaign, when he had 21 for the 2010-11 Maple Leafs. "They're going in right now … I wish I knew how to do it all the time," he said. "They seem to go in spurts. It's something you've got to work towards, lessen the slumps and be more consistent." … What the Sabres are getting in new GM Tim Murray is a sometimes surly, always very honest and passionate hockey man. Reporters in Ottawa will miss his insight. The team will miss his skill as an evaluator … Using four forwards along with Erik Karlsson with the man advantage gave the Senators their most dangerous looking power play of the season. MacLean is likely to go with the formation again "as long as it doesn't scare me. Sometimes it scares you and sometimes it doesn't," he said. "We'd like it to scare the opposition more than the coach. I think there's some very talented people on it and we worked at it earlier in the season, maybe a different little configuration of it, but we like what it can do for us, but we just want to see if it can be consistent." … Ryan enjoys playing the power play point, which is something he's done in past seasons. He came close to scoring from that spot Wednesday, but hit the post with his shot. "I actually like it, you get a little more time and space," he said. "I think if you read the play right, you get a lot more opportunity." … On one power play, he played both the point and his wing spot without going to the bench. That was a first in his career. "I went back because I thought we were going to break the puck out again, and the other three guys changed," he explained. "I was coming up the ice and I saw Cody Ceci on, so I just went to the front of the net and stood there. I extended the shift a little longer than I would have liked to, but we had a really good set up and I was a part of that being in front, so it kind of screwed (Cory) Conacher over, but I told him sorry … I said I didn't even know." … Chris Neil continued to make progress from a hamstring injury and could play Saturday. On the formal retirement of former Senators defenceman Wade Redden Thursday, Neil said: "Wade had a great career. He was a great teammate, a guy that takes you under his wing when you first come in as a young guy. He's well respected around the league. He came in at a young age and proved that he was one of the best defencemen at the time. I still keep in touch with Wade. It's tough to see him retire."

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — With all the talk of Farmers Field being built alongside Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, a certain group of football fans believe the time is ripe for the Rams to leave St. Louis and head back to the City of Angels.
These fans have banded together to form a website, Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams.
"We all kind of feel that they've been on an extended road trip, and we've always felt that, you know, that they're still our team," LA Rams fan Tom Bateman told KNX 1070's Randy Kerdoon.
The Rams franchise spent nearly 50 years as Los Angeles' football team, between 1946 to 1979, playing out of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. During that time, the Rams played in NFL championship games four times, winning once in 1951. In the 80s, the franchise moved to Anaheim, to what's now known as Angel Stadium, and finally to St. Louis in 1995.
Bateman says the Rams left LA because of their former owner, Georgia Frontiere, who inherited the team from her late husband Carroll Rosenbloom.
"That owner is no longer around, and it's a new ownership," he said. "And right now they have certain issues in St. Louis that we don't think are going to be worked out. We certainly think Farmer's Field and Los Angeles provide a lot greater opportunities for them."
Since planning began on the NFL stadium now known as Farmers Field in 2011, officials have been looking for teams that would be open to relocating to Los Angeles. The San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings have all been mentioned as possibilities, along with the Rams.
"If the Rams were to come back, you would instantly have fan support," Bateman said.

So the commissioner wants to move on.
He sure does. But not so fast. You were in charge when the whole thing went on. And you did nothing.
"We should look forward now," Bud Selig said yesterday commenting on the Mitchell Report on cheating in baseball.
Sure, because it's Mr. Bud Selig who has been in charge of Major League Baseball since 1992. And he was doing some pretty good stick handling for a baseball guy yesterday.
"The players who were involved will have to live with it," Selig said with a straight face.
Really? Is he prepared to live with his end of it? His name is on former senator George Mitchell's list, too, for being one of the people at fault for letting this craziness go on.
Despite Mitchell asking for no repercussions for individual players, Selig tells reporters he wants to "review" and if it involves the "integrity of the game," he'll hand out discipline on a "case-by-case" basis.
Integrity of the game? What integrity? The list of cheaters is so long the printer broke.
What game? The game where players were so juiced up that four-decade-old records were broken at will? The game that was basically dead in 1994 but resurrected thanks to body builders with bats? Billions were made. But it was not real.
"It will be known as the steroid era," Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins told me yesterday. "There will be a stigma to it. This is going to tarnish them."
And the Chatham native said as a voting member of the veteran's committee that if any of these players are ever on his ballot, they won't get his nod.
"I would probably vote no to be honest," he said. "It's cheating. It's not fair to get an edge from a lab."
The game of baseball is in shambles. And the situation is in an even bigger crisis than it was prior to the delivery of this ridiculous Mitchell report that offers very little of anything new and talks even less about what wasn't done since a reporter found a jar of a strange strength-enhancing supplement in slugger Mark McGwire's locker.
A blind eye was turned. It was too big a show to stop. I was there in the bleachers when McGwire hit home run No. 62 and still have my ticket. It was one of my all-time great moments. Turns out it was all a fraud. That was 1998 -- nine baseball seasons ago and plenty of time for Selig to do something.
The fact that he didn't means he's as much a part of this debacle as any player on that list.
The worst part is the $14-million-a-year commissioner had his chance to solve this by declaring an amnesty and calling for a truth and reconciliation program, where players and management could tell the truth in exchange for a clean slate. They could have cleaned up the game together.
There was no need for this circus and witchhunt, which now have players fighting for their reputations -- with the more famous ones with the most to lose.
Imagine releasing all of these names and then saying they'll be dealt with case by case. How does that work exactly? The players who were better at cheating are disciplined differently than the ones who were not quite as good at it? Or is it based on how well liked you are?
What a mess!
"I think (former Blue Jays and Major League Baseball executive) Paul Beeston should be brought in to implement the recommendations," Jack Dominico, president and owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team, said yesterday. "I really think Beeston should be the commissioner."
And that should happen today. If Selig is not classy enough to admit the buck stops with him and all of this drug use and cheating was happening under his watch, the decision should be made for him. There is no way that Barry Bonds gets to be the only fall guy in this. It's just not right.
Many fans agree. I found one website called Resign Bud Selig -- complete with a line through his face.
"I just can't ever feel the same way about the game," lifelong fan Barry Godin said at the Ido Cafe in Mississauga. "This isn't the game I grew up with and loved as a kid. To me Hank Aaron's all-time record is the one that will count."
And same goes for Roger Maris' single-season record.
I mention Dominico, of the 2007 Intercounty champion Maple Leafs, today because it's very difficult to find anybody in baseball who isn't tarnished by this. But Dominico and his wife, Lynn, have run the team at Christie Pits for 40 years for the love of it. This was a dark day for them.
"It hurt because we are baseball purists," Dominico said. "Anybody who cheats in this great game disgusts us."
It's a big list, Jack. And lots of people, from top to bottom, to be disgusted with.
