Android App Video Review: Kingdom Rush
I know you're probably sick of tower defense games in general at this point, but whether you're a hardcore fan or completely tired of the genre, you should probably check this title out. Finally making its way to Android from iOS, Kingdom Rush is one of the best and most fleshed out tower defense games around, and is easily in my top three of the genre. If you haven't had a chance to try it before now, definitely don't pass it up.
Set in a typical fantasy world of orcs, paladins, wizards, giant spiders, and more, the world of Kingdom Rush is simple but rendered in an adorable and colorful art style that is very unique and iconic. It's the kind of tower defense with pre-set paths, and strategic tower building locations placed on the map ahead of time. You have four tower types available to you, plus two special powers to activate and a hero character to boss around.
Best Educational Apps, Handpicked By Experts
Appolicious is pleased to introduce appoLearning.com, where parents, teachers and students find great education apps. Check out our introduction video here!
The four tower types are archers, infantry, wizard, and artillery. Infantry mainly keeps the enemy busy while the other three kinds of towers nuke everything. There is a lot of nuance, in that wizards ignore armor, and artillery is important for large hordes of small enemies. Every infantry member can only keep one enemy busy at a time, and there are three per tower. Each tower can be upgraded, eventually reaching a super form at level four, unlocking addition spells, like poisonous arrows on archers and free enemy disintegrations on the wizard. You can also call reinforcement militia as one of your cooldown powers, and you can and should do it often. Your other spell is a powerful meteor storm, and comes up much less often.
All your towers and spells can be upgraded permanently using stars that you earn in each level rating, increasing range or damage, giving better armor to infantry, adding slow to wizard shots, etc. You'll also earn gems, which you can use to buy special helpful items, like screen clearing bombs or a staff that freezes enemies. Gems and extra heroes can be purchased in app. Each level in the game has three difficulties, plus two challenge versions that you unlock by getting a three star rating on a level. This is seriously one of the best tower defense games there is. It's full of nuance and depth, but it's not overly complex or overwhelmingly difficult. For two dollars at the time of this review, it's a steal.

If alimony was waived at the time of the divorce, it can't be granted now unless and only unless the order granted a "reservation" to later seek alimony (which is fairly rare). Child support, unlike alimony, is always modifiable...and if/when child support stops because the court order requires it to stop or if no child support is ordered at all but your ex is paying you voluntarily, then it is considered a "gift" and you should take it for as long as you can because when it stops the court can't require him to pay child support after the statutes say child support stops.
Please hit "accept" so that the company pays me for my response. Thanks.
Child support terminates at 18 in NH, unless your agreement and court order say that it will go beyond that time. So if he is paying you after that time for your kids, again you're getting a "gift" from him, that could stop at any point.

Fans and Blowers (industrial) Information
Industrial fans and blowers are commonly known to be used to provide personnel and spot cooling in industrial and commercial buildings where air conditioning is not feasible or is too costly. Circulating fans can also be the solution to problems such as heat stratification, dampness, and general air stagnation. They can provide general ventilation in heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications including factories, warehouses, gymnasiums, underground parking garages, etc.
Industrial fans and industrial blowers are typically used for high volume, high static pressure applications. Blowers are primarily used to exhaust foul air and replace it with fresh outside air.
Numerical Designation
Many industrial fans and industrial blowers are classified with a numerical designation based upon the construction for the fan. There are three classes recognized by the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA). Typically, the larger the class number, the greater the minimum performance and price as well.
Design Configuration
Industrial fans and industrial blowers are available in a number of configurations, usually based upon the location in which they are to be placed, or mounted. These include duct fans and blowers, roof and ceiling ventilators, wall and panel mount fans, pressure and volume blowers, freestanding fans and plenum fans.
Duct fans and blowers are designed for in-line duct mounting either via flanges or support braces.
Roof and ceiling ventilator fans have mounting brackets or flanges specifically for ceiling installation or roof exhaust.
Wall and panel mount fans have mounting brackets or flanges specifically for wall installation or exhaust.
Specifications & Mounting
Pressure and volume blowers are typically found within an enclosure on a standard factory floor. The specific mounting configuration within the enclosure is designed to provide a common mounting platform for the blower and its electric motor. The enclosure can be mounted on vibration isolators and maybe referred to as a unitary base or vibration isolation base.
Freestanding fans, as the name implies, do not need to be mounted. They can be placed in almost any area for standard air circulation needs. This grouping also includes many portable styles of industrial fans and industrial blowers.
Plenum industrial fans and industrial blowers are designed for applications in commercial air-handling systems and pressurized plenums found in industry.
Standards for Industrial Fans can be found at the IHS standards store.

Explore Managua today as you tour through the most significant sites of the Sandinista Revolution. With your guide, visit Monumento al Liberalismo, built in the 1930s to honor President Somoza-Garcia. Nearby is a monument to Sandino, constructed on top of the wreckage of the old Presidential Palace of the Somoza family. Visit also Tiscapa Hill, locally known as "Nights of Torture", a prison where current President Daniel Ortega and many other political prisoners were tortured. Tour through the prison cells and learn about the recent struggle from the 60s and 70s. See the Revolution Plaza with its popular soldier statue, and the cathedral and peace park. Former President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, the first female president in Central America, encased machine guns, pistols, and a tank in concrete to forever memorialize the violent struggle of the 20th century.
Eat lunch at a local restaurant in Managua and continue on to the Fundacion Violeta de Chamorro to meet a representative of the foundation and learn first-hand how a female took office in the midst of a civil war and established a lasting peace through reconciling families and restoring civil liberties. Spend some time strolling through the colorful market stalls of Huembes Market before driving north to the colonial city of Leon. Famous for being the home to Ruben Dario, it has the stigma of being the center for the modernist movement in literature and the arts for Nicaragua. As the capital of the North, this city gave root to the Sandinista uprising.
Wander Leon City this morning with your guide and learn many recent facts about Nicaragua's revolution against the Somoza dictatorship. Tour awe-inspiring architectural marvels and cathedrals. Visit wartime sites such as the University of Leon, where the intellectual movement was born and the "21 Old Jail" where political prisoners were held during the revolution. Explore the Museum of Martyrs and Heroes of the revolution and learn about the human rights abuses of the recent past that took place in this city. Here you have the chance to see poetry written by country leaders, locals, and mothers. Read also an excerpt from an unknown soldier's journal. Converse here with one of the martyr's mothers. Hear her stories and learn of the war's impact on the families that lived through it in Leon.
The afternoon is free to explore the city. A number of activities are also possible this afternoon. Visit nearby Old Leon ruins, go volcano ash skiing on Cerro Negro, or tour Juan Venado Wildlife Reserve for chances to spot caiman, iguanas, and birds. Head to the coast for surfing or beach combing, or just wander the city and soak up the quaint colonial atmosphere.
Drive this morning further north to the heart of the coffee-growing mountains in Matagalpa, also known as "the Pearl of the North" or "Land of Eternal Spring". The city contains the "Carlos Fonseca Amador Museum", named after local founder of the Sandinista Front in 1961, Carlos Fonseca Amador. Learn about the history of this local area and their involvement in the revolution, as well as explore the coffee plantations that thrive in this region of Nicaragua. Overnight at a local sustainable coffee farm and eco-lodge. Here you can take a tour to learn about the coffee process, taking it from a bean to a delicious cup of coffee. Explore the rainforest on self-guided hikes at your leisure or try your hand at horseback riding this afternoon.
Today take a full day tour to visit General Augusto Sandino's most memorable attack sites. Stroll through the Sandino Museum in San Rafael, visit the tomb of Sandino's wife, and the church with the famous "devil fresco" of Daniel Ortega. This afternoon, go to some local homes and visit with an ex-contra guerilla. Many of these fighters were previously Sandinista guerrillas who later disagreed with the direction of their party after the overthrow of the Somoza regime. Hear war stories first-hand and learn about the various reasons why so many fighters switched sides. Other optional activities in this region include hiking and birdwatching in the nearby rainforest. Take time to explore the beautiful cloudforest of Selva Negra this evening.
Drive south today back through Managua towards Granada City. Stop en route to visit the famous Masaya Volcano. Pass by fields of petrified lava on your ride to the top where you can park the vehicle. Get out and walk around or climb to the lookout to peer down into the deep sulfuric crater at the top!
Continue on next to the Masaya Market, the most famous handicrafts market in Nicaragua, and well-known for its hammocks! After exploring the multicolored booths and bartering for keepsakes, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Next visit Niquinohomo, Sandino's home, The Coyotepe Fortress, and the Camilo Ortega Museum. Camilo was the younger brother of current President Daniel Ortega, and killed by the National Guard in 1978. In Masaya you have the opportunity to connect with a former Sandinista guerilla. Continue the rest of the way to Granada City.
This morning set out on a walking tour of the city of Granada. The oldest colonial city in all Central America, Granada was first founded in 1524 by Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. Though it has been sacked by pirates multiple times and undergone many civil wars, Granada boasts beautiful Spanish architecture, making it the must-see of Nicaragua. Next head to the shores of Lake Nicaragua for a boat tour of the tiny isletas offshore. Over 365 tiny islands were created by the eruption of Mombacho. Keep your eyes peeled for birds and other wildlife as you pass each island. Explore today sites such as the famous San Francisco convent and "La Polvora", a former jail used during the rule of the last Somoza.
Spend the rest of your tour wandering around the main plaza, perhaps even take a horse-drawn buggy ride! Feel free to explore more museums as time allows, or visit nearby Mombacho Volcano for a rainforest hike or zip line canopy tour.
Transfer the one hour back to Managua in time for your international flight home.

Technology ReviewE-finity Low pressure continuous dense phase systems
The E-finity achieves the lowest product breakage in the industry, without increasing degradation and with energy efficiency. The E-finity also has the lowest horsepower of any pneumatic system on the market.
Continuous dense phase technology offers the following benefits for the material handling of almonds:
- Lowest product breakage/degradation
- Ability to operate multiple systems off of a single air source
- Continuous operation allows use with other continuous processing
- Reduced control pressure resulting in optimum energy savings
- Simplified air controls for ease of operations

Trying on the new
If you look at the photos on the web page for todays program, youll see one with Natalie Zhu playing the violin, Bill McGlaughlin at the piano and Hilary Hahn turning pages. It was a moment of fun in the studio, where the three of them decided to try changing roles, but it also says a lot about Hilary and her sense of curiosity. Shes always ready to try new things.
So, speaking of new things
had you heard the Bloch Sonata before?

Noble Accents
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
My response to the music making of eighth blackbird feels a lot like my affection for themintense and multilayeredso its hard to tease apart just one strand of our Saint Paul Sunday experiences with them here.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about these six is the soundworld they charted for themselves in the first place, now almost a decade ago. It makes perfect sense to me that they took their name from stanzas by Wallace Stevens, a poet who carved realms of new possibility out of the apparently depleted material hed inherited.
Putting this weeks show together was itself a little like composing, maybe even a little more like choreography. Wherever eighth blackbird goes, it hauls a vast complement of percussion instruments. Once theyre arranged, Matt Duvall stands in the heart of them like a sorcerer in a magic wood, beckoning sounds at the precisely right moments, regardless of the contortions it puts him through. But Matts not the only athlete/poet in the buncheach of the others channels the ensemble's demanding repertoire with physical as well emotional artistry. And for this programs final work, "Split Horizon," composer David Schober joins Lisa at the piano, occasionally darting behind her to smash a bass drum.
You wont see this clockwork interaction on the radio, of course, but youll hear, among other miracles, the beauty of inflections and the beauty of innuendoes.

A rose is a rose, but a cello is not a cello
A flute is a flute. A piano is a piano, right? But this cello is not just any cello. I've never heard a cello like this.
I know that I am greatly simplifying the differences between makers of other instruments, but when Zuill Bailey played his cello, it sounded to me like a different instrument, especially during the Brahms sonata. The instrument has such a dark, full-bodied sound that it seemed to fill up the entire studio. This particular 1693 Goffriller cello has an interesting history behind it, but rest assured the gorgeous sound comes from a lot of hard work by a masterful musician. Working equally hard, and elegantly, Awadagin Pratt is an assertive and nimble pianist. It helps that Zuill and Awadagin are best friends and intuitively aware of each other's every gesture. Does this cello sound different than others to you? How would you describe its tone? Do you hear a difference in Awadagin's musical tone compared to another pianist?
One side note that I can't help but mention: I was walking to the studio with Zuill when we passed another producer in the hallway. The producer literally did a double-take and later told me, "I thought that was Johnny Depp."

Beautiful Belcea
We love welcoming old friends to the studio but we also spend a lot of time looking for new artists and ensembles to introduce to you. The New York Times, MPR colleagues, and blogs are all sources for us. I cant quite remember when I first heard about Belcea, but it was probably the fact that they were named quartet in residence at Londons Wigmore Hall that grabbed my attention.
Ive only been to Wigmore once in my life, but it lived up to any romantic vision you might have about a great chamber music experience. The location (a beautiful residential section of London) and the building are remarkable, but its the halls acoustics which have attracted chamber ensembles since its opening in 1901. Its a place where musicians want to play, and that creates an artistic pulse in a hall that is different than most. Because of this, Wigmore has become synonymous with chamber music and when a quartet is named in residence there, a good producer makes the call to find out more.
We were lucky that they could find time for a visit to St. Paul on one of their first U.S. tours and they came with much more music than we could fit into an hour so we created a program that allows you to hear a variety of composers and periods. So let us know
when Belcea returns, what would you like to hear?

It wasn't just an upset. It was a blowout. For the first time, Miami has knocked off a team ranked first in the Associated Press rankings, and the Hurricanes did it up right. Top-ranked Duke went more than eight minutes without a field goal in the first half and 25th ranked Miami routed the Blue Devils 90-63. The Hurricanes took command with a stunning 25-1 run midway through the first half. It's the third-worst loss ever for a team ranked first in the AP poll.
Richard Carter scored 20 points to lead three players in double figures and Drake stunned 17th ranked Creighton 74-69 last night, handing the Bluejays their first consecutive losses of the season. The Bulldogs blew a 16-point lead before rallying for their first win over a ranked opponent in five years. Doug McDermott had 19 points and six boards to lead Creighton, which shot just 24% from three-point range, but McDermott had just two points in the second half and didn't touch the ball on the team's last two possessions. The Bulldogs improve to 9-10 overall and 3-5 in the Missouri Valley Conference while the Bluejays drop to 17-3 overall and 6-2 in the conference.

News Briefs:
The Norfolk Fire Division responded to a call yesterday afternoon just before 2:00. Approximately 25 firefighters using six apparatus contained a hay fire at Coe Cattle Company 3409 South 37th Street. A hay grinder appeared to be the cause of the fire, which was intensified by strong north winds. The Battle Creek Fire Department assisted with personnel and a water tanker. Coe Cattle Company staff also helped out. Norfolk Fire Division Captain Lyle Lutt says the fire destroyed approximately 90 tons of hay.
The Norfolk Fire Division has been judged as one of the state's best according to the Insurance Survey Office. The office evaluates fire departments' entire operations including equipment, training, personnel, staffing and response times. Insurance companies use that data to determine business and homeowners' premiums. The office ranks fire divisions from 1 to 10 with one being the best. There are no Class 1 divisions in Nebraska, and Norfolk's is one of only three Class 2 divisions in Nebraska; Kearney and Omaha have the other two. Fire Chief Scott Cordes provided that information with his annual report to the Norfolk City Council at its meeting Tuesday night.
The final vote will be taken tonight on proposed rules and regulations to deal with seasonal declines in groundwater levels in the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District. The NRD Board of Directors will take up the issue at its regular meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Lifelong Learning Center at Northeast Community College. The board agenda includes review of testimony from the January 17th public hearing, consideration of staff recommendations for the rules and regulations and designation of four sub-areas for management in Pierce, Wayne and Madison Counties.
The Fourth Annual Soup R Art, a fundraiser for the Norfolk Arts Center, will be held Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. in the Divots DeVent Center. Area restaurants will provide soup and dessert for sampling with participants voting for their favorites. Area musicians will provide background music, a silent auction is planned and an iPad will be raffled off. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 at the Norfolk Arts Center or for $15 at the door.
Omaha's school board accepted the resignation of its president last night. Vice president Marian Fey is taking over the top post after Freddie Gray stepped down.
A National Rifle Association lobbyist and gun owners are opposing a Nebraska bill designed to keep firearms away from unsupervised juveniles. The gun proposal by Senator Brad Ashford of Omaha was met with criticism yesterday in a hearing held by the Legislature's Judiciary Committee. Ron Jensen, who spoke on behalf of the NRA, says the NRA opposes one bill that would hold adults civilly liable for leaving guns accessible to unsupervised minors or the mentally incompetent.

Cold temperatures didn't stop more than 7,000 people from gathering at Meyer Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach Sunday to support autism advocacy and research.
The Autism Speaks walk and run was full of supporters including Shelley Hendrix who spent Sunday trying to collect signatures.
"We are here to collect 188,000 petition signatures to ask President Obama and Congress to develop a federal comprehensive plan to address the needs of the autism community," said Hendrix.
The Autism Speaks organization was founded in 2005 by Palm Beach residents Bob and Suzanne Wright, who have a grandson with autism.
"Awareness is our primary objective," said Bob Wright, who along with his wife walked the 2.5-mile course along Flagler Boulevard. "We want to get a sense of community. That's the problem with mental health. It becomes a personal issue and nobody talks about it. Getting all these families out here is a big deal."

Pall Corp. Maintained at Neutral - Analyst Blog
We retain our Neutral recommendation on Pall Corp. ( PLL ). Judging by the degree of uncertainty the company still faces with regard to foreign currency fluctuation and clouded macro-economic conditions, we think it wise not to be too optimistic about its future performance even with its superior technology, reliable global distribution and notable acquisition strategy.
The company's diversified business, long-term and steady working histories with its clients and solid product lines helped it establish itself in a formidable position within the industry. Additionally, the company's remarkable financial returns provide a high competitive edge in its operating industry which includes big companies such as Casella Waste Systems Inc. ( CWST ), TRC Companies Inc. ( TRR ) and Donaldson Company, Inc. ( DCI ).
Pall derives significant amount of revenue from the emerging markets, including Latin America, MENA, China, India and Southeast Asia. Of late, the company's Aerospace segment reported sales of $163 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, surging 8.8% y/y, mostly driven by the soaring demand in the Asian market.
As we look ahead, the company continues to see high growth prospects in the developing economies for the quarters ahead.
Pall's game-changing technologies in areas like electronics and biotechnology are constantly supporting its businesses and setting the stage for further growth. Moreover, the global infrastructure growth, increasing demand for water filtration systems and improvement in the pharmaceutical markets are likely to augment the company's revenues in the future.
However, the scenario is not really as bright as it appears as certain issues still continue to be troublesome for the company. The company's existing ERP transition issue caused unexpected delay in the shipment of certain consumables, which in turn is adversely affecting the company's cost structure.
During the expansion of Pall's systems business, it faced considerably longer sales cycles with less predictable revenue and no certainty of future revenue streams from related consumable product offerings and services. Hence, any change in Pall's product mix and pricing is expected to negatively affect its operating results.
The company's Aerospace segment is likely to be hurt by escalating environmental regulation witnessed by the company's clients, as well as customer requirements for enhanced equipment reliability and fuel efficiency. Currently, as Pall's cost structure is subject to the ERP transition issue; the company's additional expenditure on updating its existing service offerings may appear to be expensive.
Hence, until the situation ameliorates and a brighter picture appears on the scene, we consider it wise to maintain a sideline stance on Pall Corp. In the short run, we have a Zacks #4 Rank on the stock which translates into a short-term Sell rating.

ATI's TV Wonder 650 has a Triple-Function Tuner. With the TV Wonder 650 you can tune from analog TV source, "free-to-air" HDTV and FM radio stations. The analog TV source can either be from an amplified antenna, or from the coaxial cable running from your existing home signal. To use the FM radio simply attaches to the included FM Radio antenna to listen to FM stations. The FM connection is also where you would attach the amplified antenna for HDTV.
The TV Wonder 650 is a High Definition Personal Video Recorder. Television tuners from ATI have had the ability to do recording of video content from the television signal they produce for years. The introduction of the HDTV Wonder a couple of years ago brought High Definition television to the computer and the capability of recording the HD shows as well. A key component of the PVR is the HDD to save programs to. That's one advantage a PC card has over a DVR or TiVO, the storage space is only limited by the number of SATA connectors and the amount of drive space the owner of the card devotes to it.
The Theater 650 chip that drives the TV Wonder 650's TV tuning capabilities is a 4th generation digital demodulator. There are key features available on the Theater 650 including a Motion Adap tive 3D Comb Filter, Hardware Motion Compensated Noise Reduction, Edge Enhancement, Automatic Gain Control and Automatic Color Control. All of these features are done in hardware on the TV Wonder 650, alleviating CPU workload that other tuners without hardware support would require.

Obama flies to Oklahoma to console tornado victims
MOORE, Okla. President Barack Obama flew to tornado-stricken Oklahoma Sunday to offer both moral and monetary support to a community facing an enormous reconstruction challenge while still reeling from the loss of lives, property and neighborhoods.
The White House said Obama wanted a firsthand look at recovery from the monstrous EF5 tornado that barreled through last Monday afternoon. The president was visiting with affected families and thanking first responders in the devastated town of Moore, about 10 miles from Oklahoma City.
Obama's motorcade passed past grassy fields strewn with scattered debris. He saw devastation so awesome that it appeared as if garbage had literally rained from the sky. The president's first stop was the demolished site of the Plaza Towers Elementary School, where seven students were killed when the tornado turned the one-story building into a heap of bricks, broken concrete and twisted metal.
Obama flew from Washington into Tinker Air Force Base and shook hands with personnel whose homes off base were lost or damaged. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, the first to greet the president as he got off the plane, said Sunday that her message to Obama is that she appreciates the visit, but the state also needs quick action from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help the ravaged town of 41,000 people.
The Republican governor said so far, the agency has done a great job of speeding relief and cash assistance to affected families, but she's concerned about the long run.
"There's going to come a time when there's going to be a tremendous amount of need once we begin the debris clearing, which we already have, but really get it cleared off to where we need to start rebuilding these homes, rebuilding these businesses," she said on CBS' "Face the Nation." `'And we know at different times in the past, money hasn't come always as quickly as it should."
Obama offered prayers for residents from the White House in recent days and has promised to support the rebuilding for as long as it takes. "They have suffered mightily this week," Obama said Wednesday. "And while the road ahead will be long, their country will be with them every single step of the way."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest, speaking to reporters accompanying the presidential party on Air Force One, said Obama wanted to make the trip to offer condolences and reiterate his and the nation's commitment to rebuild.
"This is the greatest nation on Earth, and we're going to dedicate this nation's time, attention, resources and expertise to help our people in their time of urgent crisis," the spokesman said.
Earnest touted the federal contributions so far, including Obama's signing of a disaster declaration within hours of the storm to speed aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Earnest said that 450 FEMA personnel were working on the ground in Oklahoma and have delivered 43,000 meals, 150,000 liters of water and thousands of cots, blankets and tarps. He said 4,200 people have applied for disaster assistance, and $3.4 million in payments have been approved.
Fallin said the money is particularly vital for the victims. "A lot of people lose their checkbooks, they lose their credit cards, they lose their driver's license, their birth certificates, their insurance papers, they lose everything, and they have no cash. And some of the banks were even hit, the ATM machines, so people need cash to get immediate needs," she said on CBS.
Earnest also said that forecasters from the National Weather Service had worked ahead of the storm to prepare communities that it threatened. He said they issued a warning 36 minutes before the tornado entered Moore, earlier than the 12-minute average warning. Twenty-four people perished in the tornado, including 10 children.

London-based Russian fund TMT-Investments has invested $200,000 in Israeli project Drippler, a service that helps people get the most out of their gadgets.
The project, which covers a range of mobile devices, applications, software operating systems and games, sends users a daily email with tips about how to better exploit their tech. Its partners include Asus, Samsung, Verizon and At&T.
Last year its app was downloaded more than 7 million times, it was ranked in Google Play's Top list and it was featured by Mashable and Gizmodo.
Artem Inyutin, TMT Investment's investment director, commented that
"There are lots of gadget overviews out there, but it isn't always possible to find information about the best apps for your device quickly. Drippler is a great product, because it provides all the up-to-date information you need to know about your device."
This is TMT's second investment in Israeli projects since its team paid a visit to the country in search of promising startups. It previously invested an undisclosed sum in Easy to Connect (E2C), which makes smartphones for the elderly.
Inyutin added that:
"In Israel you rarely find projects that demand sky-high prices. In Russia inaccurate valuations are everywhere. Sometimes companies use discounted cash flow method to come up with enormous sums.
Furthermore, Israeli startups have excellent team politics. The founder doesn't always aim to run the project, and often a different person takes on the role of CEO."
However, this has stopped the fund investing in Russian projects. It recently funded Oriense, a St-Petersburg based project creating a navigation system for the visually impaired.

New committee will guide Streetscape history, art
By: Michelle Miller-Carl Journal News Editor
As part of a new commission, 11 local residents will be charged with creating a plan for the history and artwork featured in the city's Streetscape renovations. This week, the Auburn Urban Development Authority created the Streetscape History and Art Advisory Committee. The city is seeking applicants for the ad-hoc committee. Deputy city clerk Anne Cooey said three applications have already been received as of Thursday. The new committee will be starting from scratch to develop a history walk and criteria for artwork after initial plans to put an endurance sports plaza at Central Square were scrapped. An an Aug. 24 authority meeting, members of the public complained they didn't have enough input on the proposal made by the Auburn Endurance Capital Committee to honor endurance athletes and events on granite tiles. "The greater outreach for more community involvement and so forth is what we really needed," said Mike Holmes, Auburn mayor. "We want them to be thorough. The committee members can call upon other members of the community for input. They're not just going to be in a room together forming a plan." Although a history walk was originally conceptualized to be part of Streetscape, the undertaking was so large it was put off to a later phase of the project, said City Manager Bob Richardson. "So now (the advisory committee) will embark upon trying to tell the entire Auburn story throughout the little more than a mile-and-a-half stretch, if you're including both sides of the street," he said. How Auburn's story is told would be left up to the committee, he said. Subcommittees would be assigned to categories, such as mining history, railroad history or Indian history. They would also determine the best methods for conveying the history, be it on etched tiles, sidewalk stamps or plaques. "Some areas of Streetscape will have new sidewalks, some areas we'll keep the same sidewalks, other areas will get tiles," Richardson said. "So it's not just what information goes on, it's what medium is it on?" The committee would also determine what type of artwork will be featured in 10 predetermined locations along the Streetscape route. The committee will hold public meetings with agendas posted on the city's Web site, Richardson said. Acording to a proposed timeline, the committee would have a final report to the authority by July 2010. One vocal opponent of the original plan for an endurance plaza was Michael Otten, president of the Placer County Historical Society. He said the endurance theme didn't relate to all Auburn citizens and there wasn't adequate community involvement in the process. Otten said the creation of a committee was a step in the right direction. "I think this is good, but this committee is going to have its work cut out for it," he said. For instance, the committee's members may have many different interpretation's of Auburn's history, he said. "I'm glad a lot of attention has been paid to this," Otten said. "There's going to be better input and a better group of people involved and I think that's a good thing." Applications are due Thursday, Oct. 8, and Holmes said he expects the authority to make the appointments to the committee at its Oct. 12 meeting. Streetscape is a $12 million, 10-phase street renovation project that stretches from Old Town to Downtown. The $2 million first phase, which is currently under construction at the intersection of Lincoln Way and High Street, will create a central plaza with public artwork, planter boxes, benches, a fire pit, living Christmas tree and more. Michelle Miller-Carl can be reached at email@example.com. ---------- How to apply Those who wish to serve on the Auburn Streetscape History and Art Advisory Committee can find an application form at the city's Web site, auburn.ca.gov, or contact Anne Cooey, Deputy City Clerk, Room 8, City Hall, 1225 Lincoln Way. Phone (530) 823-4211, ext. 112. The last date applications will be accepted is Thursday, Oct. 8. ---------- Who will be on the Streetscape History and Art Advisory Committee? The 11-member committee will be composed of: - 1 Auburn Urban Development Authority board member* - 5 at-large members who are Auburn residents - 1 member of the Auburn Arts Commission - 1 member of a historical society or organization - 1 member of the Auburn Endurance Capital Committee - 1 member of the Old Town Business Association - 1 member of the Downtown Business Association *Auburn Urban Development Authority Chairman Mike Holmes nominated board member Keith Nesbitt to represent the authority on the new committee.

Obviously, the folks at Twitter know Canadians like their hockey.
What else could explain the company's timely decision to add Vancouver and Montréal to its list of Trends—they're the only two cities in Canada with teams entering the NHL Playoffs.
Good ol' Toronto has been on the Trends list since 2010, but Vancouver and Montréal have earned their spots, as Twitter determines new additions to its Trends tool based on tweets emerging from the area.

Columbine coach Brian Todd has been around soccer long enough to appreciate the bigger picture.
So when the 22nd-seeded Rebels saw their season come to a rude end Oct. 31 in a 4-0 loss to No. 11 Arapahoe, Todd and many of the players took comfort knowing they had experienced something that will only make a young team better.
The Rebels took one on the chin, but now they at least know what kind of punch they must develop a year from now.
"We definitely quit, so to speak," Todd said. "We were pretty flat for who we are."
AURORA — One player and a controversial call in the last 15 seconds of the game helped end what was a promising season for the Chatfield Chargers as they fell 2-1 to the Rangeview Raiders in the first round of the Class 5A state soccer tournament.
Davey Anderson scored both goals for the No. 16-seeded Raiders, but it was the last 15 seconds of the match that had the No. 17-seeded Chargers hot as they left the field.
LAKEWOOD — One of the most overused phrases in sports just happens to fit the Columbine Rebels to a T.
It's playoff time. And that means it's a whole new season.
For a team that began the season ranked No. 2 in Class 5A, only to get upset by arch rival Chatfield and then lose standout do-everything senior Danny Spond (concussion) amidst a meltdown to secondary rival Bear Creek, the Rebels are hoping to forget the past and salvage something this week.
The Chatfield volleyball team had just one goal as the host of the Class 5A District 2 Volleyball Tournament – win each game in three matches.
The Chargers were on their way to that goal Oct. 31 with a 3-0 victory over Abraham Lincoln in the first game of pool play. And, even though Chatfield went on to win the District 2 tournament with a 3-0 win over Fort Collins in the championship matchup, it was the second game of pool play which gave the Chargers a challenge.
It was the Dakota Ridge Eagles who came along with a plan of their own.
The Class 5A, Region 2 cross-country race took place on Oct. 22 at the Chatfield Botanic Gardens, but without the help of countless volunteers clearing the cross-country course, it may not have.
The course was wet, muddy and snowy thanks to a storm the night before, and countless volunteers spent the entire day shoveling snow and getting the course ready for the race.
And the Dakota Ridge Eagles are sure glad they did.
The season's first big snowstorm left up to 2 1/2 feet in some parts of South Jeffco, but the precipitation eased enough Thursday night for Jeffco schools to announce they would reopen Friday.
Scattered snow showers were expected to continue overnight. Roads alternated between merely slick and outright treacherous during the course of the two-day storm.
Check our website for updates.
A couple were found shot to death Monday in a home near South Kipling Street and West Florida Avenue, the Jeffco Sheriff's Office reported.
Deputies went to the home early in the morning after the couple's daughter requested a welfare check. The deputies met the daughter at the home, and they discovered the two bodies inside.
The preliminary investigation indicated that no third party was involved in the deaths.
Names were being withheld pending positive identification and notification of family.
LAKEWOOD — Ready or not, the Chatfield Chargers are heading into the Class 5A state soccer playoffs this week.
With a decisive 3-0 victory Oct. 22 over rival Dakota Ridge to wrap up the regular season, the Chargers believe they have found their identity and know what they are capable of when they have all their players together.
"I think we got it now," senior midfielder Cory Whittwer said. "I mean, it took a while. Brand new team this year for the most part."
LAKEWOOD – The Chatfield Chargers have been rolling with the punches since losing all-state standout quarterback Sam Stratton (knee) after Week Six.
In their second game of the sans-Sam era, the Chargers were flat beat up and knocked out, as the Regis Raiders rolled to a 35-6 Class 5A Big 8 League victory Oct. 23 at Jefferson County Stadium.
Biblically speaking, scorpions inspired fear, both as the animal and when used to describe whips, which would sting and maim the flesh and sicken the victim.
The Front Range Christian Falcons got stung multiple times Oct. 24 as they lost a rough-and-tumble nonleague game 35-17 to the Dolores Huerta Scorpions.
And the Falcons felt plenty sick afterwards, especially after digesting a fourth quarter where they led 17-14 and saw just a few plays unfold with dramatic consequences

Nokia to reduce debt by $2.8 billion by mid-2016
Flush with funds from the sale of its handset business to Microsoft, Nokia plans to reduce its debt by $2.8 billion by the second quarter of 2016, a move that will save the Finish telecom giant about
Flush with funds from the sale of its handset business to Microsoft, Nokia plans to reduce its debt by $2.8 billion by the second quarter of 2016, a move that will save the Finish telecom giant about $138 million in interest costs. The firm also aims to repurchase shares worth $1.72 billion over the next two years. Last month, Nokia completed the sale of substantially all of its Devices and services business to the US-based software giant Microsoft for more than $7.2 billion. This will be Microsoft's finish entity -Microsoft Mobile Oy.
Post Microsoft deal, Nokia has three business segments, Networks (network infrastructure), HERE (location intelligence) and Technologies (technology development and intellectual property rights activities). In its annual report, Nokia said, "It plans to reduce interest bearing debt by approximately euro 2 billion by the end of the second quarter of 2016. Once complete, the debt reduction is expected to result in annual run rate savings of at least euro 100 million related to recurring interest costs." The company said lowering the gross debt level is aligned with its target to return to being an investment grade company. "Nokia intends to reduce interest bearing debt by utilizing applicable maturity dates, call dates or other terms allowing early redemption or retirement of debt or by making offers to repurchase debt in the open market," it added.
On the stock repurchase program, the firm said, "Nokia Board also proposes a share repurchase authorization to facilitate euro 1.25 billion of planned share repurchases over two years." Nokia plans to repurchase up to 370 million shares, which corresponds to less than 10 percent of the company's shares outstanding. The term of repurchase authorization is for the maximum of 18 months under Finnish regulations and is expected to be re-proposed by the Nokia Board at the Annual General Meeting in 2015. "The shares are expected to be cancelled. The shares may be repurchased in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the use of derivative instruments, or through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms," it added.
Both the initiatives are part of Nokia's euro 5 billion (about $ 6.9 billion) capital structure optimization program. The program aims to "improve the efficiency of Nokia's capital structure" with focus on recommencing ordinary dividends, distributing deemed excess capital to shareholders, and reducing interest bearing debt. It includes euro 3 billion of cash return to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and euro 2 billion of debt reduction, over the next two years.

Under the right conditions, fire season in San Diego County can be any month of the year. Yet the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection sets a fire season that runs from five to eight months, cutting back on personnel during other months when wildfires seem to be less of a threat.
After several false starts, the Legislature is poised to approve a workers' compensation proposal aimed at wringing waste out of the $29 billion system. But lawmakers are in such a hurry to meet today's deadline set by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that many haven't had time to digest the bill's specifics.
John Kerry "doesn't warm anybody up." President Bush is likable and strong. Those were the prevailing sentiments of undecided and independent union voters who participated in focus group surveys last month in St. Louis and Philadelphia.

Interlude of Stress-Signs of Recovery
Thursday, May 31, 2012
When I thought of blogging this am, I thought about my Interlude of stress. I had to look up interlude to make sure I am using in the correct context. Please look below to see the interlude defined: t
An intervening period of time.
A pause between the acts of a play.
intermission - interval - interact - intermezzo
My life lately has been an interlude of stress. Some job hunting, some day to day life eatting healthy, struggling to eat health, balancing my budget on unemployment, raising a sixteen year old daughter, who sometimes reminds me that I have to keep Jesus in my life!! I have been sparking for approximately eight months and I have not lost the 100 pounds I wanted to lose in eight months. Yes, I realize I have some unreal expectations,but I will deal with that. Plus, dealing with the police when a "predator" approached my daughter and the police told me,"that laws are funny", but a crime has not been committed. But they were clear with me, if I attacked him I would be arrested!!! He has been warned and the police has been warned. I am going to COMMIT a crime, if he as much as speaks to my daughter!!! Despite all of this, I have keep 11 out of 12 appointments for personal training, gone to my water aerobics at least once a week, picked up the elliptical training and trying to build to 30 minutes. Have entertained the gym employee who claps when I complete my 7 minutes of elliptical!! He always tell me I am doing GOOD!! I am not sure if he making fun of me or not, but I accept all comments!!I have managed my emotional eating and have not had any binges, not even while passing the donut shop or the donut drive through This is quite an interlude for a big girl like me, struggling to break through to 399. I can feel some improvements, some more leg definition. I can feel my knees. I jokingly say, I can feel my six pack breaking through!! My bodybuilder trainer laugh with me on that one. Everyday I am trying to save my life. Another Biggie, my big scene television which was a good friend DIED!!! It has been more than 2 and half weeks, I do not try to get it to work anymore, I am not replacing it at this time. I am beginning to hear the song, BRICKHOUSE by the Commodores playing in my head when I am struggling to breathe when I work out. The music is a good thing!! I feel better, I feel like I look better and I am regaining some confidence. Thank you God, Sparkpeople and my fellow Sparkers! We are on this road to RECOVERY together.

That trainer means it when he says you're doing well; any exercise is a struggle, and as a trainer, he KNOWS it. How many people do that 7 minutes and never come back? How many of them has he seen? This week, even? That man is no fool, and he's not fooling you.
Let sleeping televisions lie, i say. They're just a reason to sit down, for the most part, and if there's a show you're really dying to see, you can get it online - and then you'll be less tempted to sit there watching more when it's done. Forget it! You've got more important things to do.

Under Mr. Nardelli's dynamic leadership, The Home Depot has positively impacted the lives of countless soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and coastguardsmen -- and their families -- who have answered the "Call to Duty."
In order to support our men and women in uniform, Mr. Nardelli launched two cutting-edge programs. Operation CareerFront provides career opportunities to separating and retiring service members, military spouses and veterans. The Home Depot donated one million dollars and one million volunteer hours to Project HomeFront, which helps military families repair and maintain their homes while their spouses are deployed.
The Home Depot also donated one million dollars in tools and supplies to support U.S. troops in their efforts to rebuild war-torn Iraq.
Realizing that military actions in the 21st century rely heavily on the total involvement of our reserve components, The Home Depot – with several thousands of its employees called to active duty -- has extended and enhanced its leave-of-absence benefits for each of its deployed associates.
A graduate of Western Illinois University with a bachelor's degree in business, and the University of Louisville with a master's in business administration, Mr. Nardelli, throughout his career with The Home Depot has focused on unique, unequalled projects that say "Thank You" to the men and women who defend our freedom and our way of life.
His goal in developing a wide range of comprehensive and unrivaled programs that give peace of mind to our troops and their families should be emulated by all corporate America.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The North Texas women's basketball team looks to end the 2009 calendar year with a bang as they face the Preseason favorite in the SBC West Division UALR on New Year's Eve. Game time is at 2 p.m. from the Stephens Center and the game can be heard on 88.1 FM KNTU.
The Mean Green began its longest road trip of the year with a 71-44 loss to Missouri on Monday night. North Texas has lost two straight games and five of its past six since the start of December. UALR is coming off an 87-55 win over Southeast Missouri and has won three straight games and five of their past six.Both teams are 1-1 in Sun Belt Conference play through two games.

The importance of attentive listening
Seth S Horowitz, an auditory neuroscientist at Brown University, who writes for The New York Times holds that, "The difference between the sense of hearing and the skill of listening is attention".
He claims that hearing is a vastly unacknowledged sense. We tend to think of the world as a place that we see; interacting with things and people based on how they are looked at. Studies have shown that conscious thinking takes place at about the same rate, as visual recognition, requiring a significant fraction of a second per event. But hearing is a quantitatively faster sense. It might take a full second to notice something around me, turn my head toward it, recognise it and then respond to it; the response to a new sound stimuli happens at least 10 times as fast.
For us, hearing has evolved as part of our alarm system. In fact, it operates out of sight and works even while we are asleep. Our auditory system has evolved a complex and automatic "volume control," since there is no place in the universe that is totally silent. So in the course of our development, we have learnt to finetune ourselves to keep most sounds off. At the same time, if the sounds come to us as a dangerous or a wonderful signal, our ears can detect them within a kilometre.
There are different types of attention and they use different parts of the brain. The sudden loud noise that makes us jump activates the simplest type of listening: the startle. More complex attention kicks in when we hear our name called from across a room or hear an unexpected birdcall from inside a room. But when we actually pay attention to something we are listening to, whether it is our favourite song or the chirping of the parrot, a separate brain function is activated. Then the signals are conveyed to our cortex, part of the brain that does more computation and which lets us actively focus on what we are hearing and tune out sights and sounds that are not very important. Here, our brain works like a set of noise-suppressing headphones.
Hearing, in short, is easy. It's our lifeline, our alarm system, our way to escape danger and pass on our genes. "But listening, really listening, is hard when potential distractions are leaping into your ears every 50,000th of a second — and pathways in our brain are just waiting to interrupt your focus to warn you of any potential dangers." Horowitz adds, "Listening is a skill that we're in danger of losing in a world of digital distraction and information overload."
And yet we dare not lose it. Because listening tunes our brain to the patterns of our environment faster than any other sense, and paying attention to the non-visual parts of our world feeds into everything from our intellectual sharpness to our dance skills. Luckily, we can train our listening just as we can train any other skill. We can learn to listen to new music while jogging rather than familiar tunes. We can learn to listen to the voice of our companion — not only to the routine words, but to the sounds and emotions under them —fostering the intimate bond.
Inability to listen has also become "an epidemic in a world that is exchanging convenience for content, speed for meaning." Horowitz adds, "The richness of life doesn't lie in the loudness and the beat, but in the timbres and the variations that you can discern if you simply pay attention." We need to listen to the others' spoken and unspoken words. We need to listen to the silence of our own emptiness; to our own unspoken agonies and unexpressed yearnings.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Papelbon blew his third save in
his last four chances, but Kevin Frandsen picked up the Philadelphia closer
A pinch-hitting Frandsen crushed a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth
inning to lift the Phillies to an 8-7 win over the New York Mets in the middle
test of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.
Frandsen's blast was a no-doubter to left field off Carlos Torres (0-1).
A day after rallying from a three-run hole to win Friday's series opener 4-3,
the Mets battled back from a 7-1 deficit to tie things up in the ninth.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
I will be happy to assist you. First, you can file bankruptcy individually if married. Your Wife's debts that are solely in her name would not be discharged, and any debts you hold jointly would then be her sole responsibility.
The LLC and assets and debts owned by the LLC are not included in your personal bankruptcy, so any debt owed your company is also not included and will not be discharged. Any assets owned by the company, such as the Van, if it was purchased by the LLC would most likely not be a part of the bankruptcy.
However, your interest in the LLC is an asset of your bankruptcy estate. It will depend on the LLC's worth, the bankruptcy court is looking for assets to liquidate to pay creditors. There are also exemptions available under your state's laws, so you may be fine, but the LLC will have to be listed on your schedules. There is really no way to know without having a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney in your area.
NOTE: Your credit card debt may be outside of the statute of limitation for collection, so it may be a non-issue.

Pretty darned satisfied
It's funny how perceptions can change so much.
The hard parts just weren't as hard as I remembered from 3 weeks ago.
In fact I ended up hitting the first climb of the day (1.5 miles of about 4%) at a much faster pace than I had intended. Once you establish a pace it's hard to change the "mo" so I just pushed on up. Last time I caught a red light halfway up and so had a little break. No such luck this time. And once at the top, I had another 2 miles of 1.5% to go before I could turnaround and run downhill for a while. But that was after a quick banana break and peeling off a layer. It started out chilly but got warm in a hurryThis led to the climb I've been dreading but that just wasn't as long or as steep as I had remembered, either. Still, I was no where near the "peak riding form" I was in before vacation and it just took forever to warm up and get loose. I finally did... just in time for that first hill and after that, my quads were barking at me all morning.
The flip side is that some of the parts I recalled as easy took more effort than I thought they did before but that might've just been those barking quads again.
In the end, it's 25 miles under my belt and I just couldn't have asked for a better day to ride.
66 degrees and sunny blue skies with a hint of whispy cirrus
Oh, and here we are before the start.
I asked George what advise he had for a 55 year old getting back into it.
His answer? "Just keep pedaling"
The man's a sage
And dig that nice commerative jersey.
I am one happy (and tired. and sore) guy today.
I have more photos but they'll have to wait if I put 'em up at all.
I'm tired and I have to go start dinner.

Benny Goodman: That's A Plenty
That's A-Plenty
Benny Goodman (clarinet)
The Chronological Benny Goodman 1928-1931 (Classics 693)
Benny Goodman (clarinet), Mel Stitzel (piano),
Bob Conselman (drums)..
Composed by Bert Williams & Henry Creamer.
Recorded: Chicago, June 13, 1928
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Benny Goodman was 19 years old when he recorded his dazzling solo version of "That's A Plenty". He was far from a newcomer to the recording studio, with a dozen-and-a-half documented trips since the winter of 1926. This recording was one of two clarinet solos recorded in June 1928, and while Goodman made several recordings in the interim, it would be over a year before he recorded under his own name again. Goodman's purposely-shrill high register and the busy rhythm of Mel Stitzel and Bob Conselman bring to mind the "hoochie-coochie" craze of the time. The rhythm seems to impede Goodman's swing and one gets the feeling that Goodman is just dying to burst out of this arrangement and just swing. Even at his young age, Goodman's astounding clarinet technique is evident as he solos effortlessly in every section of his instrument. The edges were still a little rough, but in 1928, Benny Goodman was already a force to be reckoned with.

These Smurfs 2 Posters Are Awfully Smurfing Generic
By Nick Venable 2013-05-22 00:42:30 comments
Quick, somebody let me know if Ive somehow drifted off into sleep and am now dreaming about a fictional place where movie posters are naturally supposed to be this stupendously dumb. Sigh. This is reality, isnt it? Ive moved on from thinking The Smurfs 2 is a pointless film, because those conversations have been had. So the question becomes, Will it succeed in the many places where the original filmfailed? If were judging things by movie posters alone, we may be in for a disaster.
Even if were taking the films first trailer into account you know, the one that featured Gargamels new creation belching and Azrael putting his paw over his face in shame it still looks as though it's going to be a blue-tinted stinker. The completely generic posters come courtesy of the film's official Facebook page, and not only do they showcase the bad guy characters giving the peace sign as a way of depicting the 2 in the film title, but in doing so, theyre giving the Smurfs bunny ears - which is just short of a Kick Me sign on the scale of lame-ass methods of passive aggressive pranking. In case you cant tell, I dont care for these posters, and they fall squarely into the copycat form of childrens movie posters that I wrote about a while back. Anyway, heres the second poster.
The two non-Smurfs are Vexy (Christina Ricci) and Hackus (JB Smoove), two Smurf-like Naughties created by Gargamel. Only Smurfette knows the way to turn them into real Smurfs, so they plan to make her as naughty as they are. Gargamel kidnaps her. They go to Paris. Rolling Ferris Wheels ensue. The movie comes out on July 31st and will probably make a stupid amount of money at the box office. Another sigh. Check out the trailer below.

Starboard lax outlasts Magerks 8-7 in quarterfinal, falls to Koopers in semis
The Starboard lax club defeated the visiting Magerks 8-7 June 7 at Cape Henlopen's Champions Field. The victory allowed Starboard to reach the semifinals of the American Lacrosse League Championship. They fell in the semifinals to the Koopers of Baltimore 16-5 to end their 6-2 run of the 2014 season.
"Magerks put us out of the playoffs last season," said Starboard player/coach Nick Scroggs. "This was an awesome game. We really wanted this one, and the guys worked really hard."
Starboard had the lead 7-6 when a turnover allowed Magerks to score with less than a minute left, thus tying the game at 7. Former Cape Henlopen and UMBC all-star Joey Cahill cut through the Magerks' defense and scored with 32 seconds left to seal the victory for the home team.
Former Cape goalie and Lynchburg College All-American Franc Cook had 13 saves in the victory over Magerks.
Sunday found the Starboard team traveling to Baltimore to play a tough game against the Koopers team in the semifinal.
Starboard middie Kyle Gallagher led the Sharks with two goals in the contest. Former Wesley College goalie Anthony Edwards had 11 saves in the Sharks' loss.
"Koopers is a great team," said Scroggs. "The guys played their hearts out, but we came up short in the game. We had a great season, and I'm proud of the guys and how we fought in each game. It's nice having a great sponsor like the Starboard to allow us to compete in the league."
Koopers plays the New York Athletic Club for the ALL Championship next Saturday, June 14.

Who Should Go Home on Dancing With the Stars Season 14, Week 4?
Last night's Dancing With the Stars (Season 14, Week 4: Performance) was full of surprises. From Maksim Chmerkovskiy falling on his butt to Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas falling behind on the leaderboard, the judges had constructive criticism for every couple.

Who do you think will leave the ballroom for good tonight?
