Pole (~scape | Berlin), Mike Huckaby (S Y N T H, Deep Transportation | Detroit), Derek Plaslaiko (The Bunker, Spectral | NYC), Spinoza (The Bunker, Beyond | Brooklyn), Anthony Parasole (Deconstruct, Halcyon | Brooklyn)
House-n-Home is a back to basics loft party with amazing talent,
a sound system that will make your head spin, cheap drinks, and
the kind of vibe we feel is sadly missing in the NYC electronic
music community at the moment. The first three House-N-Home parties
brought out a nice cross section of the house community, the
dancers scene, and the afterhours techno heads, and everyone left
Stefan Betke aka Pole is one of the most important and well known
electronic music producers to emerge in the past decade. His
first three albums ("1", "2", & "3"), released from 1998 to 2000
and packaged in solid blue, red, and yellow sleeves, are absolute
stone-cold classics. Betke reissued these three sadly
out-of-print albums as a box set on his own ~scape imprint
(titled "1 2 3") in 2008, so they are once again available to the
unfortunate souls who missed his timeless music the first time
around. More recently, Pole released the "Steingarten" album on
2007, further developing his sound. He also did A&R for the
critically acclaimed "Round Black Ghosts" compilation on ~scape
last year, a collection of tracks that blur the line between
dubstep and techno. The next edition of this compilation will be
released this month. We are honored to have Pole grace our party
with an early live dub set at 11pm.
Since the very first House-N-Home party, Mike Huckaby of Detroit
has been very far up on our (top secret) list of DJs we want to
bring to Brooklyn to play. The main thing you need to know about
Huckaby is that he has impeccable taste and the ability to see
past petty genre divisions to bring together amazing sets that
may cover everything from the deepest house and the darkest
techno to classic tracks from 20 years ago that you didn't even
realize existed. These skills have landed him endless gigs
worldwide at huge clubs, and make him an ideal DJ for the
House-N-Home dancefloor. Derek Plaslaiko claims that he's heard
Huck play more than 100 times, and has only heard him play ONE
record he didn't like (and of course he later came to like that
record). Although his skills as a DJ are well documented, do not
forget that he is also a very accomplished producer of dub techno
and deep house, with tracks on his own Deep Transportation and
S Y N T H labels, as well as the Berlin-based Cache imprint.
Derek Plaslaiko is the resident DJ at the Bunker, where he often
outshines the special guests. Last year was huge for Plaslaiko,
with a successful 15-date Spectral Residency Tour of North
America, very well received podcasts for Resident Advisor and
XLR8R, and appearances at DEMF, Igloofest in Montreal, and
Daikanyama Unit in Tokyo. He also launched his GO!!! monthly at
APT, bringing in guests like Magda and Heartthrob. In 2009 you
can expect much more, as Plaslaiko focuses more energy into his
own productions and finally releases some music. Also, his mix of
all Spectral material is part of the "Spectral 50" release,
on...you guessed it, Spectral Sound. Although he is more well
known for playing techno, Plaslaiko is equally skilled at playing
house, and has insanely deep crates, so we're incredibly excited
to hear the special house set he has in store for us.

Gatorade through its parent company Pepsico announced earlier today that it won't be adding brominated vegetable oil to its drinks any more. This announcement came at the result of of a petition on Change.org, started by one 15 year old, Sarah Kavanaugh of Hattiesburg Mississippi.
Brominated vegetable oil, you see, has some issues. For one thing, according to the New York Times, "Studies have suggested there are possible side effects, including neurological disorders and altered thyroid hormones."
What did the spokespeople for Gatorade have to say about it? According to the Times:
Molly Carter, a spokeswoman for Gatorade, said the company had been testing alternatives to the chemical for roughly a year "due to customer feedback." She said Gatorade initially was not going to make an announcement, "since we don't find a health and safety risk with B.V.O."
But the petition, signed by roughly 200,000 people, made them announce the news quicker. Good news! BVO as it is called, which is used as an emulsifier, will be replaced with the ever popular sucrose acetate isobutyrate, which sounds more like a drug that forces you to tell the truth than an emulsifier.
Gatorade, who hasn't had it easy lately is probably anxious to avoid any more bad press. Can't blame them, really. Still though, some finessing of the above statement would have helped. It doesn't matter if you find a health risk. It's more about what objective scientists are thinking based on their research.
So let's go back to the Change.org petition for a second. It mentions a particular article from Scientific American that sheds light on the heretofore little known additive:
Patented by chemical companies as a flame retardant, and banned in food throughout Europe and Japan, BVO has been added to sodas for decades in North America. Now some scientists have a renewed interest in this little-known ingredient, found in 10 percent of sodas in the United States.
After a few extreme soda binges—not too far from what many gamers regularly consume—a few patients have needed medical attention for skin lesions, memory loss and nerve disorders, all symptoms of overexposure to bromine. Other studies suggest that BVO could be building up in human tissues, just like other brominated compounds such as flame retardants. In mouse studies, big doses caused reproductive and behavioral problems.
The petition also points out the slight, shall we say, hypocrisy of Gatorade. If they're selling their sports hydration drink in countries where BVO is banned, they clearly have a way of tweaking the formula so it doesn't effect the taste/ And this seems to be the biggest pressing problem on their end. Point is, it shouldn't be that hard to shift the Euro formula to the States.
So yeah. Scientists are starting to think that BVO is not much different from the Bromiated flame retardants which are one of those nasty things that build up in our bodies and find their way into breast milk, too. This kind of flame retardant/food additive is potentially as bad as asbestos. And while Gatorade's statement that the removal had been in the process for more than a year and change.org had nothing to do with it, one has to wonder how much credence there is to the "we were already doing it," line of defense. If they had nothing to do with it, why make the announcement a week after the petition got circulated? Color me dubious...
Ms. Carter's statement also goes on to say the new reformulated flavors will roll out in the next few months but don't consider it a recall at all because "...we're not recalling Gatorade...we don't think our products are unsafe. We don't think there are health or safety risks."
That statement may hold up in court, but in the court of common sense, not bloody likely. The Food and Drug Administration classified BVO as Generally Recognized As Safe in 1958. But this classification was then revoked in 1970, and in fact a strict limit is imposed for use as a food additive. Go back and reread the potential health risks and see if you feel comfortable drinking this stuff during your next workout.
By the way, Gatorade isn't the only drink with this stuff in it. Powerade and some other soft-drinks like Mountain Dew use BVO, too. Might want to check it out next time you grab a soda. Better yet, stick with water.

WBUR: Political analysts say one of the top races to watch in the country this election season is the Massachusetts 6th Congressional District, along the North Shore.
Democratic U.S. Rep. John Tierney has held the seat for 17 years, but some say the district is ripe for change.
Republican Richard Tisei is challenging the incumbent congressman again. Tierney only narrowly beat him in 2012.
But even before that rematch, Tierney first would need to survive a primary threat from Seth Moulton, a Harvard-educated veteran and first-time politician.
The Incumbent
Tierney circles through his home district about every week. On a recent morning, he checked in with Ovedia, a chocolate shop in Amesbury.
His visit was a sort-of listening tour with a paternal touch.
"Every time I come, you're busier and busier and bigger and bigger," he told Barbra Vogel, the owner of Ovedia.
Tierney is a polished career politician with a congressional pin on the left lapel of his pin-striped suit. He whittled off his list of accomplishments in Washington jargon.
"Well we've done a lot of work in education," he said. "Workforce Investment Act. The Higher Education Opportunity Act. And the SAFRA and ACRA — the other bills that we've passed on that."
He insists he's running for office again because he wants to do more.
"Look, we've still got work to do," he said. "The whole idea is to bring prosperity to every American. You know, we have to do something about student loans, we still have to do something about getting people back to work."
Vogel says she's a huge fan of the congressman.
"I think John has done a whole lot for our area," she said. "He's here, he's accessible. I would vote for John no matter what he was running for."
The Newcomer
But around the district, a lot of people don't feel the same way.
At a senior center in Peabody recently, plenty of old ladies said it's time for a change.
"I wouldn't vote for Tierney if he was the only man running," one woman said.
"I think he lies, he's in trouble, he lies," another said.
Moulton worked the room, hobnobbing and shaking hands with the ladies, telling them he would be "honored" to have their votes in September.
But he's a complete stranger to them.
Kaye Ryan, 89, asked the eager 35-year-old for a business card.
"You want the last one?" Moulton asked her.
"Well, I just want to see what your name is," she told him.
Moulton suffers from a problem of no name recognition. "The hardest part about running against an incumbent is simply getting your name out there," he said.
Moulton majored in physics at Harvard. He then signed up for the Marines and was part of the first company into Baghdad. In total, he did four tours in Iraq, and served as an aide to Gen. David Petraeus.
"I was in a war where Congress didn't know what they were doing when they sent us to war, and didn't have our backs when we were there," Moulton said.
He says during the war, he saw firsthand the consequences of bad leadership in Washington.
"I showed up to Iraq in my second deployment and was given a Humvee in Kuwait that had had a sheet metal cutout for an armored door," he said. "So you couldn't lean forward, or you might get shot. That's not supporting the troops."
In some ways, the war's failures shaped his political ambitions.
"There was a time in 2004 where a Marine in my platoon looked up at me and said, 'You know, sir, you ought to run for Congress so this doesn't happen again.' "
Those words stuck with him.
Moulton came back to the U.S., got two more degrees from Harvard, and went to work for a high-speed rail project in Texas.
Then he got a call from a new group that's trying to recruit veterans for political office.
"They asked me to take a look at this race in my home district, and honestly it wasn't even something I was considering, it wasn't even on my radar screen," he said.
But he jumped into the ring. He joins Democrats John Devine and Marisa DeFranco, who have filed their candidate paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.
A Rare Democratic Challenge
Steve Koczela, from The MassINC Polling Group, says Moulton's decision was odd.
"There's not a lot of precedent to this," Koczela said. "It's a very unusual thing that he's doing … when you see an incumbent get challenged typically it's by some person who thinks the incumbent is not sufficiently ideological. In this case, that's not really what's going on."
Koczela says you won't see Moulton out there decrying Tierney for being "insufficiently liberal." Instead, Moulton criticizes the congressman's record.
When he talks, Moulton has that naivete of a rookie politician — his suit a tad too big, his words not always calculated.
Moulton says he sees himself as the young, pragmatic veteran taking on the entrenched, partisan politician.
"[Tierney] has passed one bill in 17 years, and I think we can do better than that," he said.
Tierney obviously sees the picture very differently. He says he's introduced countless addendums to bills, and that Moulton doesn't understand how the legislative process works.
He refers to Moulton as the "so-called Democrat."
"Mr. Moulton was not really a Democrat until he registered for this campaign," Tierney said. "So, I think there's some question about whether he's a Democrat or not and what kind of Democrat."
In 2012, Moulton considered running as an independent. He insists ideologically, he's been blue his whole life, even if he once checked the unenrolled box on the voter registration rolls.
Moulton also claims he has a better chance of beating the Republican Tisei in the general election. But Tierney says that's not true.
"You know, I think he's making up a lot of comments and statements," Tierney said. "He's gotta somehow, I suppose, try to justify why he's in this race as a Democrat."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is backing Tierney. Elizabeth Warren is fundraising for him.
But there's also a strong sense that he's politically vulnerable.
Tierney's reputation took a hit a couple years ago after his family's ties to an illegal gambling business surfaced. The congressman himself was never found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Moulton doesn't focus on the scandal. Instead, he focuses on the congressman's accomplishments. And, he says, Tierney just hasn't done much for the district.
He says the people he meets want a Democratic alternative.
"I wouldn't have gotten in this election if I didn't see a path to victory," Moulton said. "This is a winnable race."
For Tierney, that's nothing more than wishful thinking.
"It's certainly fantasy that he's got better numbers and could possibly win this race," he said.
A survey last month by the DCCC showed Tierney with a 47 percent lead over Moulton.
Moulton's campaign says the reason he's down in the polls is because people don't know him yet. That same DCCC poll showed only 15 percent of likely voters had heard of Seth Moulton.
But even being virtually unknown, he is bringing in big money. In the first quarter of this year, he raised more than Tierney — nearly $470,000.
Tierney, though, has more money stockpiled in the bank.
Regardless of how the facts are interpreted, this Democratic sparring is merely round one of the political fight in the 6th Congressional District.
Whoever wins will face Tisei, who, in this fiercely independent district, is already picking up voters from across the aisle.

In an ideal world, all of the ideas and fiction pieces and art pieces would come together with the snap of our fingers and make a perfect magazine. Unfortunately, that's not exactly how it always goes, or ever goes for that matter. Luckily for The Auburn Circle, our staff works hard (and plays hard too) to reach the final product.
With all of this talk of staff and our upcoming applications, there's no better time for the return of our weekly "Meet the Staff" posts. And who better to start the year off than our Editor-in-Chief, Shelby Rice.
Name: Shelby Rice
Major: English Literature
Year: Senior
Shelby's Five Favorites:
1. Hot Tea
2. Netflix
3. London
4. Doctor Who
5. F. Scott Fitzgerald
If your life were a TV show, which series would it be?
30 Rock. I secretly think that I'm Liz Lemon in real life.
If you could abolish any state in the US, which one would you abolish?
I often forget that the Dakotas exist, so I'd probably just get rid of South Dakota, combine it with North Dakota and just make it one giant Dakota
What is your favorite word? Please use it in a sentence example.
"Superfluous"- All I need in life is a good book, a comfortable chair and a large cup of tea; everything else is superfluous.
What's your favorite piece from past Circle's?
I really liked Fledermaus by Kody Blackwell from the Spring 2013 issue.
What are some of your favorite parts about working for the Circle?
First is the quality of submissions. Auburn has a lot of talented people, and it shows in the submissions. I know if I have submissions on my desk that my workday is going to be a good one because I get to read great stories and beautiful poems and look at amazing pictures and art.
Second is my staff. I had an amazing staff last year. Everyone was passionate about their work and making a great literary magazine. I think that passion brought the staff closer together, so sitting around the office didn't feel like work – it felt like a bunch of friends talking about art. If my staff this year is anywhere as great as last year's staff, I know we'll be in good shape.
What do you hope to see this year?
This year, I hope to see more diversity in the submissions. We always get a lot of what I'd call "mainstream" submissions, such as fiction, poems, art, photos and graphic design. And that's great, because those are the kinds of things that a person thinks of when they pick up a literary magazine. But The Auburn Circle is more than just a "mainstream" literary magazine; it is a showcase for all of Auburn's artistic talent. I want to see other types of art. Interior design, industrial design, architecture, sculptures. Anything that's artsy and different from what I'm used to seeing would make me happy.

Originally named Orange County Airport the OC airport was renamed to John Wayne Airport in 1979 to honor the famous actor and Orange County resident.
The airport is located 35 miles south of Los Angeles and serves nearly 9 million passengers annually. The Orange County Airport has 2 runways that serve 12 different airlines and 2 cargo carrier airlines. Flights go to destinations throughout the United States but there are not currently any international flights offered.
The John Wayne Airport offers a variety of parking options for customers. There are 5 public parking areas offering over 7,000 parking spaces. Curb-side valet service is also offered. These 5 parking options include 3 parking structures near the terminal with both short-term parking and long-term parking availability. There are also 2 parking options that are further from the terminal but offer complimentary shuttles to and from the terminal every 15 minutes.
Rental car agencies are located in the terminal for passenger convenience. There are also shuttle services, limos, buses, and taxis available at the airport for ground transportation to your destination.
The airport also has a number of amenities to help make traveling more enjoyable. There are stores including newsstands and gift shops. There is also a variety of restaurants. Whether you need a coffee, a snack, or a full meal you will find something to fill your need. There are also ATM machines, information booths, and airline club lounges.
Many hotels in Orange County offer complimentary shuttle rides to and from the airport as a service to their patrons. However, Orange County itself does not offer free shuttle rides into the city. Instead, if you are not using a hotel in Orange County, you will need to find private transportation to and from the airport.
There is a company called the Orange County Airport Shuttle or ABC Shuttle. It goes through all of Orange County and also goes to John Wayne Airport, Disneyland, Newport Beach, Anaheim, and Mission Viejo. They make exclusive as well as shared trips. However, it is a privately owned company and it does cost money for the trip. Therefore, it might be best to look into other transportation options, like taxis or other private companies with a shuttle service to find competitive rates. Also, if you can plan your trip around the times when trains are available from the airport to your destination, you may find your best prices with Amtrak.
On the other side of the country from the old Orange County Airport (now John Wayne Airport) in California, there is a general aviation airport owned by Orange County in New York. However, it is located in the Town of Montgomery, New York.
Because the place is for general aviation and not only commercial flights like the one in California, it is a good place for aspiring pilots to fly and practice their skills. It is also a popular place to store private jets. With Aircraft operations averaging 329 a day, it is the second-busiest general aviation airport in New York.

Oh yeah, baby. The first inductees into the meat industry's hall of fame have been announced. They're mostly obvious choices, such as Don Tyson, Frank Perdue, and Jimmy Dean. Plus there's Paul Engler, the infamously litigious rancher who took Oprah Winfrey to court and got his ass kicked.
On the one hand, these guys have collectively been responsible for the agonized deaths of countless billions of animals. But on the other hand, they'll each be receiving a snazzy "members-only blazer with the exclusive signature crest." Link.

Uhhh...I tend to be the quietest person in any crowd. I am HUGE fan of thinking inwardly...and I'm ALWAYS thinking...usually abstractly. I speak a lot through the faces I make, my music, art, or the way I behave...rather than with words.
What else....oh yeah! I LOVE almost all things Asian (mainly Oriental). The art, martial arts, architecture, food, women, languages, histories, philosophies....everything. And of course, my idol (or...one of) is Bruce Lee. Did a research paper on him, as a matter of fact (the other RP was on video games, LOL).
Oh yeah, I like computers, math, physics, psychology, metaphysics, philosophy, and powerlifting too. So...basically...I'm a nerdy, artistic, meathead. Oh...and I'm a metalhead \m/ !!! Pretty odd for a man of my...*ahem*...VALUE (art term for lightness/darkness LOL) to be a metalhead? Well yeah it prolly is...but I really don't give a fuck. As long as I'm being ME...then I'm pleased. And this "gangsta" rap bull shit is so...UGH!!! Anyway...talk to me...because I rock and you love me!
I am honest, artsy, and intellectual
I want to be...well...a few things actually LOL. I'm pretty set on being a professional artist (more specifically video game art and design is my highest goal) and drummer...and I need those two things in my life. I'm not caught up in the details of how I will make that work just yet...all I know is that I fucking love art and I fucking love music......it's my life and that's that.
I said it before and I'll say it again...The Arts are my life. Without emotion, feeling, thought, and reflection...life would be stupid. I'm also fairly strong and enjoy powerlifting. I noticed at a young age that I'm good at it and I gain strength quickly. Not like that means anything but it's something I'm good at LOL. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BUDDAAAAAAAAY!!!
I get especially pissed off when my words are twisted and people try and see me as someone I'm not. I'm a gentle giant but if one gives me a reason to fight (verbally or physically)...they will most surely regret it. I'm very open-minded and when I come across ignorant and close-minded people..I shut them down quickly.
Movies: The Matrix, Hancock, Batman Begins, Batman: The Dark Knight, Battle Royale, The Crow, Transformers, Donnie Darko, V for Vendetta, Seven, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Grandma's Boy, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Pineapple Express, Kill Bill series, Super Troopers, Scarface, Hero, Memoirs of a Geisha, Ong Bak: Thai Warrior, The Protector, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars trilogies, Blade trilogy, Napolean Dynamite, the Red Vs. Blue series, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, (with Depp...my favorite actor) And my favorite TV shows are Metalocalypse, Myth Busters, and Sons of Anarchy.
Music: Favorite GENRES of music are Metal, Rock, Classical, Rap/Hip Hop (GOOD rap...with thoughtful and meaningful lyrics...not the popular shit), and Techno (Drum n' Bass or Acid mainly)...but I am open to pretty much everything...not too fond of Country though...whatsoever. My favorite groups in particular are Lamb of God, Unexpect, Haggard, Slipknot, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Meshuggah, Arch Enemy, Suffocation, Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Behemoth, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Chimaira, Deicide, Devildriver, Dethklok, System of a Down, Korn, Artimus Piledriver, My Chemical Romance, and, Blue Man Group.

If you have AIDS, we want to assure you of God's great love for you. God understands your needs whether you are young or old, or your problems are large or small.
In Hebrews 4:15-16 we have the wonderful promise that Jesus, who is God incarnate, is "touched with the feeling of our infirmities" and that we can "therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Jesus lived on earth and suffered both physical and emotional pain. He understands us.
Jesus himself explained that, "the thief's (Satan's) purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness" (John 10:10, TLB). Jesus wants to be your Friend and constant Companion even though others may forsake you. Not only that, He offers eternal life and a place in heaven. We have God's acceptance of us and His commitment to us through our faith in Christ who said, "Whoever comes to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37b). When everything else in life is stripped away, God reveals His love and care through His Son Jesus Christ.
If you have never done so, open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ. You can do that by a simple prayer of repentance and faith right now. Jesus says, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). Let Christ fill that empty space in your life, and then make it your goal to follow Him the rest of your life.
Remember that God "is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us" (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV). Romans 8:34 tells how Jesus is at the right hand of God praying for us, and verses 35-39 tell how nothing can separate us from God's love.

TWO bogeys in the final three holes saw David Howell drop back to level par for his opening round at the BMW International Open.
Howell is a former winner having triumphed at the event's spiritual home in Munich in 2005, and began his campaign at a new venue in Cologne with four straight pars.
The Broome Manor professional hit his first birdie of the day on the fifth hole of Golf Club Gut Larchenhof but dropped a shot at the eighth as he turned on level par.
Two birdies at 13 and 15 looked to have got him going, but Howell dropped shots at 16 and 18 to fall back level.
The Swindon player will start his second round at 6.50am UK time alongside Soren Kjeldsen and Shane Lowry.
Australian Marcus Fraser and Paraguay's Fabrizio Zanotti lead the event on eight under, with Chris Wood part of a group one shot back.
Wood staged his own version of 'The Great Escape' before beginning with a seven-under-par 65 in Cologne today.
Among a number of golfers stuck in traffic and worried they might miss their tee-off times, the 24-year-old from Bristol led a breakaway movement through the fields.
"We finally decided to leg it when we had gone one kilometre in 20 minutes - it was that bad," Wood said.
"It was about 3.5 kilometres and I was a bit sweaty when I got here, but it was worth it."
The former England international, still seeking his maiden victory on the European Tour after three runner-up finishes, grabbed no fewer than nine birdies on the Gut Larchenhof course.
There were also two bogeys on his card, however, and with a seven-under-par 65 he finished the day one behind Fraser and Zanotti.
"It was the best I've putted all year," added Wood, perhaps best known for his fifth place in the 2008 Open when still an amateur and then his tie for third the following year at Turnberry.
Scoring was low following some heavy rain, but that did not help Paul Casey on his latest return from injury.
Ten years on from scoring a career-low 62 on the same lay-out, Casey - who missed last week's US Open to give his shoulder more rest - managed only a 76 to be down near the rear of the 156-strong field.

Best Buy (BBY) takes the number three spot in the S&P last year with a 236% gain. Cramer said new management and new vigor makes this stock a buy on any weakness.
At the number four spot is Cramer's favorite among the group, Delta Airlines (DAL), with a 131% gain. He said this stock is still a high flier and he likes the newfound oligopoly among the airlines, which makes Delta and American Airlines (AAL) both buy, buy, buys.
Finally, there's E-Trade Financial (ETFC) with a respectable 119% rise for 2013. Cramer said he likes Knight Capital Group (KCG) more because they benefit from individuals returning to the markets.
Add Vroom to Your Portfolio
Every portfolio needs a turbocharged growth stock, Cramer told viewers, but choosing between stocks like Amazon.com (AMZN) and Google (GOOG) doesn't have to be difficult using his 10-point scale for rating growth companies.
1. Multi-year growth. Cramer said Amazon is taking market share while Google remains a powerhouse in search. He gave 10 points to Amazon, seven to Google for its lack of China exposure.
2. Total addressable market. Amazon has the largest market in the world while Google has gigantic opportunities in PCs, phones and online. Both companies get 10 points.
3. Staying competitive. Amazon innovates at every turn but Google faces a resurgent Yahoo! (YHOO). Amazon, 10, Google, eight.
4. Use of cash. Cramer said you can't penalize Amazon for spending but Google has been overpaying for things like Motorola. Nine points to Amazon, seven to Google.
5. International. Amazon still has incredible opportunities overseas but Google already gets half its profits there. 10 points Amazon, eight to Google.
6. Balance sheet. Both companies pass with flying colors, 10 points each.
7. The "out" years. Amazon is expensive using 2018 estimates but probably worth it. Google is a steal with single-digit price-earnings ratios. Five points Amazon, 10 points Google.
8. Management. Amazon may be lost without CEO Jeff Bezos but Google seems to have a stable of talent. 10 points Google, only eight for Amazon.
9. Reliance on economy. Ad spending goes down during recessions but Amazon seems to keep on chugging. 10 points Amazon, nine for Google.

Chamba Swathanthra Cinema Project
Excerpts from the project website: "Why should anyone be denied knowledge and culture just because he cannot pay, especially when you don't have any additional costs? Now most people will say if we give away cultural creations like music and movies for free, how would the artists live? Who will take care of their bread and butter."
"The existing culture of rewarding the artist with a monopoly for his creation was not the only way existed in history to support the artist. Before copyright came into prominence there were patrons for art and every king/queen supported artists."
"Another reason for granting monopoly was to allow costs of reproduction and transportation of cultural products to be recovered. Now with the arrival of electronic systems and internet, both of these costs are negligible compared to the initial cost. Before internet became so popular it was impossible for an artist to take his creation directly to the people."
"With freedom, comes responsibility. We have to come together as a community to make this possible. It has to be a collective effort and every one has a role to play. So join us today and do your part to free the culture!" [via Chamba Swathanthra Cinema Project]

In her high, bright noontide

The shadows fell upon . .

ETHNA CARBERY . . .

At Easter, 1902 . . . .

TO YOU IN HEAVEN—

When your head once lay on my breast,

And your hand was closed in my hand,

You drew back the veil from your soul

And asked could I understand.

The letters that flamed in gold flame

On its virgin whiteness I scanned—

"I love you, I love you, O Love"—

And I whispered, I understand.

I thought I did. Foolish we be!

I, in Sorrow's intense solitude

Where the dread hours drag into ages,

Fared far ere I understood.

Yesternight I lifted wet eyes

To the stars, that were as the sands,

And cried, O, my God! it is now,

Only now, that my soul understands.

SEUMAS.

What Are Pinhole Eyeglasses? A Guide to Pinholes and Organic Vision Improvement
Pinhole Glasses are one thing of a phenomenon. They allow anyone with blurry vision to determine obviously - instantly - without the want for corrective lenses. Sounds a little miraculous, does not it? If that's not enough, there is lots of anecdotal evidence to show that pinhole eyeglasses can improve your vision naturally in just several minutes every day...
You'll be able to test the idea at this time. Make a fist and place it up to 1 eye, with all the other eye closed. Open your fist a tiny bit, just adequate to create a tiny hole to peep via. Amazingly, you can now see obviously!
How do Pinhole Glasses Perform?
Pinhole glasses certainly are a natural type of vision correction, that will in no way harm your eyesight (in contrast to prescription lenses, that are scientifically documented to make your vision worse as time passes!)
Contrary to their name, pinhole eyeglasses usually are not created of glass or corrective lenses. They're just black plastic (or metal) with holes punched through exactly where the lens would typically be. So, how do pinhole glasses work?
The beauty of pinhole eyeglasses is the fact that they allow a a lot narrower beam of light to enter the eye. This instantly allows the eye muscles to loosen up and concentrate the small beam of light much more obviously onto the retina:
1. Myopia / Nearsightedness - Light rays enter the eye and land also far in front from the retina, causing distant objects to seem blurry.
2. Hyperopia / Farsightedness - Light rays enter the eye and land as well far behind the retina, causing close up objects to seem blurry.
three. Pinhole Glasses - Fewer light rays enter the narrow pinhole and concentrate in parallel beams perfectly on the retina, causing all objects to appear in focus.
What are Pinhole Glasses For?
Listed here are two excellent factors to start wearing pinhole eyeglasses today:
1. Avoid Pc Vision Syndrome - should you use computer systems a great deal you'll recognize the indicators: eye strain, dry eyes, fatigue, headache, blurry vision and double vision. This really is all down to intense close to point stress. Computer glasses can minimize the glare from the monitor, help unwind the eyes, boost depth of field, and increase your all-natural focusing energy (also called accommodation).
two. Enhance Your Vision - when I put on pinhole eyeglasses, I can literally see my eyes re-focusing 2 or 3 occasions per second. This really is excellent accommodation instruction for the core eye muscles. Other customers report that wearing pinhole glasses for just 15 minutes a day can noticeably increase your vision in 4 weeks. When you have farsightedness, you may benefit from reading and writing with pinholes on, although nearsighted people might advantage from sitting back and watching Television.
The Benefits of Pinhole Glasses
There are so many positive aspects to pinhole eye glasses. I think everybody who has myopia, hyperopia, aging vision or astigmatism ought to own a pair. Here's why:
Pinhole eyeglasses are inexpensive. If you have mild myopia, you'll be able to purchase pinhole glasses for occasional Tv viewing rather of purchasing pricey corrective lenses which only make your eyesight worse. You don't have to upgrade your pinhole eyeglasses as your vision changes, since they apply to all extremes of refractive errors. In comparison, normal corrective glasses generally need to be updated each and every year or two as your vision worsens. For occasional use, pinhole eye glasses are better than off-the-shelf corrective lenses for aging vision. These reading glasses may be inappropriate for a lot of folks because they have the identical prescription in every eye. Pinhole glasses can address various refractive errors. In the event you suffer from Pc Vision Syndrome, personal computer glasses will decrease the vivid glare from the computer screen, helping the eyes to loosen up and concentrate much better. Should you devote a lot of time at the personal computer and are worried about your near point vision, pinholes can help. Individuals who've had laser eye surgery frequently find their evening vision gets permanently damaged. To reduce the glare and halo impact, they turn up the lights to create the pupil shrink and take in less light. Pinhole glasses develop this impact naturally without having straining your eyes. Possibly most importantly, a lot of people have reported dramatic all-natural vision improvement from wearing pinhole eyeglasses. They can aid the eyes unwind and this might allow you to determine far better naturally - rather than corrective lenses which make the eyes lazy and vision worse as time passes. Wearing Pinhole Glasses
A lot of people get used to wearing pinholes in minutes. You may experience the honeycomb impact at first (becoming conscious in the holes) but this will soon disappear and you will only be aware of a thin veil effect. You are going to also be able to take pleasure in clear vision instantaneously without having the damaging effect of corrective lenses.
Nonetheless, when you have serious nearsightedness (more than -6.00 diopters) the honeycomb impact might not go away, so pinhole glasses are not proper to suit your needs. Pinhole eyeglasses are also excellent for children with progressive myopia and those with specific visual requirements who rely too heavily on their peripheral vision. Once more, this is a much more affordable choice than glasses, and children find pinholes significantly a lot more entertaining.

A hot summer in eastern North America has air conditioners turned on high but it's not enough to revive still-moribund natural gas prices .
Three summers ago, hot weather - gas-fired electricity powers air conditioners - helped propel natural gas to a near-record of $14 (U.S.) per thousand cubic feet. Soon thereafter, the industry surprised itself with vast discoveries of shale gas, unlocked with new drilling technology, and a supply boom has swamped prices ever since.
The current price of about $4.50 - based on the United States benchmark hub - is up from a low earlier this month but still below small peaks reached in May and June. It is mired in the same narrow price band gas has traded in throughout the past year, a level arrived at after a steady two-year decline.
While a small number of market analysts have cited various factors that will soon underpin a stronger recovery in gas prices, even the most bullish only predict a price of about $6 - the average price figure that gas producers enjoyed through the 2000s.
For now, the many junior gas producers based in Calgary will continue to struggle.
The sector's biggest Canadian company, Encana Corp., will be an important sign post on Thursday when it reports second-quarter earnings, particularly for any market outlook issued by chief executive officer Randy Eresman.
The second quarter - April through June - will be weak, similar to the first quarter, according to RBC Dominion Securities Inc. Low gas prices likely "tempered" profits, analyst and co-head of global research Greg Pardy said.
Encana managed a small operating profit of $15-million, or two cents a share, in the first quarter, a figure Mr. Pardy estimates will tick up to about $130-million, or 17 cents, in the second.
The numbers are tiny fractions of Encana's billion-dollar-plus quarterly profits in 2007 and 2008.
One intriguing market factor in this extended period of low natural gas prices is the potential for acquisitions. Late last Thursday, global Australian miner BHP Billiton Ltd. offered $12-billion for Houston-based Petrohawk Energy Corp. - a 65-per-cent premium on the stock price of a company that has strong assets in three important new natural gas fields in the U.S. It will double BHP's oil and gas holding.
It is a similar move to Exxon Mobil Corp.'s $31-billion deal for XTO Energy in 2009, when gas prices were collapsing and the financial crisis squeezed everyone: A small independent, XTO, built positions in emerging areas and a global name - cash-rich Exxon - takes it out.
"BHP's acquisition demonstrates the demand for a resource position," analyst Bob Brackett of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York said on Friday.
"We believe further consolidation will be driven by desire to access quality resources."
Leading gas companies such as Canadian Natural Resources are skeptical of a price recovery. The firm has said it could take two years - and as many as seven. In the first quarter, Canadian Natural drilled 26 gas wells. Five years ago, in the first quarter of 2006, it drilled 593.
Since early 2006, U.S. domestic gas supply has climbed about 25 per cent, according to the Energy Information Agency. Growth paused only for several months during the financial crisis in 2009. Several more percentage points of growth are forecast by analysts.
One hopeful sign for gas producers is the number of rigs drilling for the commodity in the U.S. is down 12 per cent from a year ago. Rigs have turned their attention to much more valuable oil. Analysts also note that gas rigs are going after liquids-rich gas, which suggests the currently ample stream of dry gas will dissipate somewhat.
This and other factor leads Martin King, a commodities analyst at FirstEnergy Capital in Calgary, to forecast an average price of $5.25 next year, up from an earlier $4.75 forecast.
"For natural gas minded investors, it is a serious test of patience for a slow percolating turnaround in North American natural gas prices," Mr. King wrote in a recent report. "We realized that talking up a more bullish stance for North American natural gas prices might seem too early, or simply wrong. However, our sense it that just when prices are possibly getting ready to move convincingly turn higher, the growls from the price bears have become more defeating. This price bull is wearing ear plugs."Report Typo/Error

Taylors Falls was a literal bevy of holiday lights, decorations and cheer Friday during the city's 29th annual Lighting Festival.
Just before 6 p.m., residents and visitors lined Main Street and counted down when the time hit 10 seconds from the hour mark.
When that time was up, the businesses along the thoroughfare turned on their holiday lights, which bathed the street in a multicolored glow.
Following the lighting, a parade made its way down Main Street.
Chisago County Sheriff Rick Duncan was the first down the street in his squad car, and Santa and Mrs. Claus ended the celebration.

Stabbing death homicide investigation underway
Published 8:29 pm, Wednesday, May 15, 2013
A man found stabbed to death in his North Side apartment had not been identified late Wednesday as police continued investigating.
Chief William McManus said a family member of the man, who was in his 40s, called police about 3 p.m. to report she found his body on the floor in the 100 block of East Mistletoe Avenue. McManus said the man had last been seen or heard from by family members late Tuesday night.
The medical examiner was not releasing the man's name late Wednesday.
McManus said there is no reason to believe the crime is a random attack.
"We don't believe there's any reason for anyone who lives around here, myself included, to be fearful of further danger," he said at the scene of the two-story apartment home, just off Main Street.

Raphael Tulino is the spokesman for the IRS in the Orange County/San Diego area, and he has volunteered to answer your tax questions.
Q. From a 67-year-old: What form do I use for my Canadian pensions for my income tax? Do I have to claim my income – which is under $1,000 a month – from my pensions? If I have to do this, is there a place that does not charge for the service for the elderly? I tried this year but the government people did not know how to input Canadian pensions.
I am here legally and the Social Security that I paid into for 25 years will give only a partial payment per month because they now have a rule for green card holders who are collecting from another country and living here. I did not work last year to claim income from work.
A. The IRS website offers plenty of information on Canadian and U.S. tax issues and the U.S. has a tax treaty with Canada. IRS Publication 597, Information on the United States – Canada Income Tax Treaty, is an excellent resource. It is available at IRS.gov.
Briefly, the taxation of payments received from Canadian retirement programs that are similar to the U.S. Social Security system receive special tax treatment due to an income tax treaty between the U.S. and Canadian governments. The way your income is taxed depends on your residence. Form 1040 is normally used.
International tax law questions can be complex and, although there are Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly sites throughout the tax-filing season, they are normally not trained on international tax law issues. In fact, with your complete set of facts and circumstances in mind, you might consider contacting a qualified tax professional such as an enrolled agent, CPA or tax attorney for more clarity.
Taking that into consideration, here are some other online resources from IRS.gov. I hope you find them useful:
•The IRS International frequently asked question webpage. Search for "Canadian & U.S. Tax Issues." Question 2 addresses whether your Canadian Pension Plan (and Canadian old age security benefits) are taxable.
•For further information on U.S. tax treaty information, please read more from our tax treaty Web page. Search under "Tax Treaty Overview."
Have you got a tax question? Send it to email@example.com and put "tax question" in the subject line. Please include your name and phone number. They will not be published.

The widespread grief that followed the news of Tommy Hafey's death was not surprising given the respect he commanded across all of footy's tribes.
This time 40 years ago, as he was guiding the Tigers to their fourth premiership in eight years, the music blasting out of most radios belonged to Skyhooks.
Their album Living In the 70s might well have provided the blueprint for football today.
Toorak Cowboy, Horror Movie and Smut may be song titles, but could also be headlines straight from today's sports pages and footy-celebrity merry-go-round.
Tommy was too decent a man to be rude about others, yet even he might have taken issue with the title of the Skyhooks' next album Ego is not a dirty word.
To the gentle Hafey, few words were dirtier.

Nicole Chafetz, Divorce and separation Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer's work. She may is one of the most knowledgable and aggressive lawyers I've met. If I were getting divorced, I would hire her and know I was in good hands. Ruth is the kind of lawyer that treats other lawyers with respect, but doesn't let anyone stomp on her. I suspect she doesn't charge anything close to what she is worth, and yet quietly she is just one of the best lawyers in South King County. Whenever I have a question about how family law rules are applied in King County, I ask her. She's been around a long time, and makes it a habit to know the rules backward and forward! Once I was sitting in a family law courtroom with Ruth, we were on the same case (different sides) and waiting for our case to be called, when one of her former party-opponents mentioned, in words I won't use here, how his own attorney had been nowhere as good as Ruth during his divorce and how she had "kicked his ass." I hope people say that about me when I'm not around. Ha!

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 13, 2013--Sirtex Medical Limited (ASX:SRX), a leading manufacturer of targeted, innovative liver cancer therapies, announced yesterday the completion of patient recruitment into the group's landmark SIRFLOX randomized controlled trial of SIR-Spheres ® microspheres for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The SIRFLOX study is the world's largest randomized controlled trial in interventional oncology with more than 500 patients enrolled.
The SIRFLOX study aims to evaluate whether a first-line treatment strategy of standard-of-care chemotherapy plus SIR-Spheres microspheres is more effective in delaying cancer progression than chemotherapy alone, in patients with inoperable liver metastases from primary colorectal cancer. Completing recruitment into the study required the participation of more than 100 leading hospitals globally over a six year period.
"Sirtex is committed to delivering large, randomized controlled trials to confirm the results from the numerous, smaller, peer-reviewed studies demonstrating the effectiveness of SIR-Spheres microspheres," said Mike Mangano, President of Sirtex Medical Inc. "We anticipate that the data from the SIRFLOX study will provide sufficient proof to the oncology community that combining chemotherapy and internal radiation therapy earlier in the treatment algorithm will benefit patients." Twenty-one U.S. sites have enrolled patients into the SIRFLOX study. Primary results from the study are expected to be available in late 2014.
"Our clinical experience has shown SIR-Spheres microspheres to be an effective treatment option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer," said Fred Moeslein, SIRFLOX investigator and Interim Director, Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology at University of Maryland School of Medicine. "We are excited to be the top enrolling U.S. site in this landmark study and look forward to seeing the results, which we believe will help further guide the oncology community in best practice treatment for liver tumors from metastatic colorectal disease." For more information on the SIRFLOX study, visit www.sirflox.com.
About Selective Internal Radiation Therapy using SIR-Spheres microspheres Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), also known as radioembolization, is a proven technology for inoperable liver cancer that delivers doses of radiation directly to the site of tumors. In a minimally invasive treatment, millions of radioactive SIR-Spheres microspheres are infused via a catheter into the liver where they selectively target liver tumors with a dose of internal radiation up to 40 times higher than conventional radiotherapy, while sparing healthy tissue.
Clinical studies have confirmed that patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with SIR-Spheres microspheres have response rates higher than with other forms of treatment, resulting in increased life expectancy, greater periods without tumor activity and improved quality of life. SIRT has been found to shrink liver tumors more than chemotherapy alone.
SIR-Spheres microspheres are approved for use in Australia, the United States of America (FDA PMA approval), the European Union (CE Mark), and Argentina (ANMAT). Additionally, SIR-Spheres microspheres are supplied in countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, India, Israel, and Turkey. Available at more than 600 treatment centers, over 34,000 doses of SIR-Spheres microspheres have been supplied worldwide.

Harry Allen's Brush Vase (silver or white)
Designer Harry Allen's Brush Vase in White brings back the raw excitement of a blank canvas that I often felt as a child in art class. Of course, that was before I realized that I'm terrible at painting. Even if you are a Picasso of sorts, this vase allows you to put down your brushes and take time to assemble the roses. Your guests will inquire about your eye for design as well as art. Harry Allen's Reality Series celebrates a tradition of found art by immortalizing objects that typically pass unnoticed. He dips objects like Rollerskates, nuts, bananas, (even his own hand!), in resin to create a mold. The result becomes art that wins the approval of Marcel Duchamp appreciators. The Brush Vase in White as well as the Bestow Vase/Candle Holder recently featured in NY Times Home and Garden, are both part of this curious collection. For more work by Harry Allen, please go here.
Brush Vase was originally intended to hold paint brushes, but we thought filling it with flowers was a beautiful idea too, so we've included a glass insert to hold water.Tags: art, glass, decorative, vases, brushes, Cool Hunting, flower vases, white vase, paintbrushAdded 8 Years Ago from Areaware

You know that lovely saying we've all heard time and time again of April showers bringing May flowers? Well, it is quite true here in England. The rain comes every now and then in this magical city but thankfully it has made the parks and gardens look like something out of a storybook.
Not only has the weather accented the beautiful scenery within the city but it has also brought out some of the most magnificent fashion. I love seeing the fresh spring trends showcased throughout the city. From prim and pretty pastels to whimsical floral prints, it all reminds me why I love fashion so much. It's the one thing that you are able to alter with ease depending on your mood of the day.
I stumbled upon this Fashionista as I was enjoying a day away from the bustling city of London. I decided to spend the weekend in the college town of Cambridge, which is not only known for its academics but happens to be bursting with some of the most wonderful fashion. From men riding around on bikes in tweed blazers and bowler hats to women in argyle prints, it's a city that I never expected to have some of the best fashion I've seen in England thus far.
This Fashionista pairs a floral dress with black tights, plush black jacket, oversized tote, infinity scarf and printed Converse. Her look is ideal for a day of exploring with friends or "punting," which is a traditional activity of touring Cambridge by boat. My favorite aspect of her outfit is that she is able to pair a feminine dress with an edgy pair of sneakers to make an effortlessly easy ensemble. This spring's fashion is all about the unexpected and little twists like pairing two contrasting styles or prints is a perfect way to channel this.
Why not try out a look like this for yourself this spring?

The Eastern Maine boys basketball tournament had it all in 2013 — buzzer-beating shots, dramatic comebacks, overtime thrillers, coaching and player milestones, senior leadership and talented underclassmen.
All are reflected in the annual Bangor Daily News all-tournament teams.
The BDN selected the squads with input from school administrators, media representatives, former coaches, Maine Principals' Association officials and other dedicated observers.
Headlining this year's teams are the William Warner Award honorees as tournament most valuable players, Zach Gilpin of Hampden Academy, John Murray of Medomak Valley of Waldoboro, Isaiah Bess of Penquis of Milo, and Steven Decker of Central Aroostook of Mars Hill.
The MVP award was established in 1994 in memory of Warner, a former BDN sports reporter and editor. Five players were selected to the all-tourney team for each class.
In CLASS A, Zach Gilpin led a balanced Hampden Academy team to its second straight Eastern Maine championship.
He was a double-figure scorer in each of the undefeated Broncos' regional tournament games, including 13 points in the final against Lawrence of Fairfield.
Yet his most important postseason play was not a shot but a pass after he grabbed a rebound with four seconds left in the EM final. Hampden trailed by a point when Gilpin gained possession, and when he soon was double-teamed, he spotted his younger brother, freshman Nick Gilpin, open just beyond midcourt. Nick Gilpin caught the ensuing pass, turned and launched a runner that went in as time expired to give the Broncos the 40-39 victory.
Spencer Carey was a two-way standout who led Lawrence to the brink of a regional title during Mike McGee's 28th and final season as the Bulldogs' head coach. Bound for the University of Maine on a football scholarship this fall, Carey made the most of his basketball swan song with a game-high 18 points and a strong defensive effort in the EM final.
Xavier Lewis returned from a bout of mononucleosis to be an impact player for Lawrence during its tournament run. The junior guard scored 13 points in his first game back in the lineup as the Bulldogs defeated Brunswick in the quarterfinals, and he also scored in double figures in each of his team's other tourney games.
Quin Leary capped off his high school career with two solid tournament performances to help Edward Little of Auburn reach the EM semifinals. That effort was highlighted by a 13-point, 16-rebound performance during the Red Eddies' quarterfinal victory over Messalonskee of Oakland.
Hampden's Nick Gilpin made one of the most dramatic shots in tournament history, his 30-foot runner from the left wing banking off the backboard and through the net as the buzzer sounded in the final to earn the Broncos their second straight trip to the state final. The freshman guard also provided coach Russ Bartlett's club solid ballhandling and perimeter defense during his tournament debut.
In CLASS B, the 6-foot-8 John Murray and 6-5 Ryan Ripley provided Medomak Valley a 1-2 senior frontcourt punch that led the Panthers to their first regional title since competing in Western Maine Class B in 1980.
Murray opened the tournament with a monster 25-point, 16-rebound effort during top-ranked Medomak Valley's 52-47 quarterfinal survival of Camden Hills of Rockport, a rival that had taken it to four overtimes less than three weeks earlier. He finished his three-game EM tourney run averaging in double figures in both points scored and rebounds.
Ripley also scored in double figures and averaged nearly 10 rebounds during the tournament. He had 21 points in the semifinals as coach Nick DePatsy's club pulled away from upstart Foxcroft Academy, then contributed 13 points and eight rebounds in the championship game as Medomak Valley rallied past Mount Desert Island of Bar Harbor.
Junior Jonathan Phelps sparked third-ranked MDI from the guard slot, both shooting from long range and driving to the basket. He scored 16 points in a quarterfinal win over Winslow, then had a game-high 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field against Medomak Valley.
Adam Gray, a senior center, provided MDI an inside complement to Phelps. Gray was a double-figure scorer in all three tourney games as well as a rugged interior defensive presence. Gray scored 15 points in the regional final.
Senior guard Ryan Rebar fueled Foxcroft Academy's run from the No. 13 seed — the last preliminary-round qualifier in the division — to the semifinals. After scoring 21 points in the Ponies' prelim upset of No. 4 Oceanside of Rockland-Thomaston, Rebar scored 18 points in a quarterfinal win over No. 5 Caribou.
In CLASS C, the junior tandem of Isaiah Bess and Trevor Lyford propelled Penquis to its first EM crown since 2000.
Bess was the Patriots' offensive leader during the regional tournament. The explosive guard scored his 1,000th career point during the quarterfinals and amassed a team-high 22 points and six rebounds in the championship game as second-ranked Penquis edged top-seeded Houlton.
Lyford was a stabilizing factor for Penquis as well as a productive player at both ends of the court. He scored 18 points in the quarterfinals and scored the go-ahead basket midway through the fourth quarter of the final — which also was Patriots coach Tony Hamlin's 400th career victory.
Sophomore Kyle Bouchard's versatile play led Houlton back to the EM championship game for the second straight year. The 6-4 forward had the highest-scoring game of the EM tourney when he totaled 41 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in the quarterfinals against Bucksport, then had 18 points and 10 boards in a semifinal win over Calais.
Devin Hall of Calais is the only senior on the Class C all-tourney team, just as he was one of the few seniors on a youthful Blue Devils team that advanced to the semifinals. The guard scored a game-high 24 points in the quarters as No. 5 Calais defeated No. 4 Sumner of East Sullivan, then added 14 points in a semifinal loss to Houlton.
Junior point guard Nick Guiod directed Houlton's up-tempo offense throughout postseason play. He made three 3-pointers and scored 14 of his team-high 17 points during the first half of the regional final in staking the Shiretowners to a lead that held up until midway through the fourth quarter.
In CLASS D, Steven Decker emerged as a premier crunch-time performer as coach Tim Brewer's Central Aroostook program won its fifth EM title in the last nine years.
Not only did the senior center lead the Panthers in scoring, but he led them when it mattered most with six overtime free throws during an overtime win over Washburn in the semifinals and five overtime points in the championship game when Central Aroostook outlasted Hodgdon.
Central Aroostook needed such heroics from Decker and his teammates in the final to overcome the work of Hodgdon sophomore Chris Hudson. The 6-5 forward had 28 points and 12 rebounds against the Panthers in the final on top of a 20-point quarterfinal effort against Deer Isle-Stoningtoon.
While Decker was doing much of his work in the lane, Central Aroostook teammates Joe Stiles and Chandler Brewer were working more from the outside.
Brewer, a sophomore, got off to a fast start with 27 points in the quarterfinals and added 15 points to his team's championship-game effort.
Stiles had 23 points and six rebounds in the semifinals and 12 points in the final — including 3-of-4 free throws during the final 34 seconds of overtime to preserve the victory.
Senior guard Mitch Worcester of Washburn capped off a career during which he scored nearly 2,300 points by leading his team to the semifinals. He scored 34 points in the quarterfinals as the Beavers edged Bangor Christian.

Erik Buell can't build streetbikes until February 2011, according to his non-compete clause with Harley-Davidson, so you won't see one of these screaming up the street any time soon. But, clearly, there are things going on at EBR that might betoken some future streetbike model. And I'm sure that there are a number of people who'd like to speak to Eric Buell about opportunities as soon as they are legally able.
What I find really interesting here is that motorcycle didn't just materialize out of whole cloth. I mean, all du respect to Eric Buell as a motorcycling genius or whatever, but I find it hard to believe that the 1190RR's motor just materialized out of thin air between the time Harley dumped Buell and now. It hasn't even been a year yet. So, it seems to me that this was a concept that had to have been on the drawing board prior to the Buell shutdown.
Jebus Cripes, that decision still doesn't make much sense to me. Imagine what the response would have been to an American sportbike in the same performance class as a Ducati 1198 or Aprilia RSV4. For a company that became a textbook business school marketing case study for the way they sold the Harley "lifestyle" to the baby boomers, they are slack-jawed morons when it comes to marketing to the younger biking community. I mean, just look at this Harley ad.
That's your baby-boomer wet-dream right there. Old men getting married to under-18 girls. Great image to put in your advertising, MoCo. Classy.
Not that anybody believes a 17 year-old girl would f*ck that hairy pervert.
But, that's Harley-Davidson for you. They are so focused in on the baby-boomers that they just don't seem to have a clue about how to reach out to anyone younger. They can build all then trikes they want, to keep their geriatric customer base riding along for a few more short years, but without learning how to hook up to younger riders, they are going to face trouble in another 10 years or so.
And they already had a brand in Buell that they could have built into a sportbike–and maybe a racing–powerhouse…and they just threw it away.
