Three Big Questions | Disabilities, Privacy and Banned Baby Names.
May 03, 2013 , 2:25 PM by Mick Murdoch
"It's really important that we provide basic human rights for everyone regardless of their situation - this posturing over who funds it or not seems to take away from the issue that this is a really remarkable thing for our country to do."
Kelly-Lee Hickey (Writer) explaining to Kate O'Toole her feelings about the announcement from Prime Minister Julia Gillard this week that some workers in Australia will pay around a dollar a day to fund the national disabilty scheme.
Kelly was part of the Three Big Questions panel of Graeme Sawyer (Former Lord Mayor of Darwin) and Garry Halliday (C.E.O. Carers NT).
Kate also posed the question "what's wrong with naming your baby Lucifer?", just one of the names on a list of banned baby names released in New Zealand this week.
Garry Halliday said unusual names weren't anything new, revealing that his great-uncle,a 6'2",20 stone miner from Broken Hill was called Hyacinth.(Nobody dared call him that though.)

Came across this on my travels around the internet CLIP which stands for Crew List Index Project concerns itself with merchant seafarers on British registered ships for the years 1861 to 1913.
This site provides guidance and finding aids to help you carry out your own research. The index itself is on FindMyPast, but this site might be a good place to start as it explains what crew list are and what you might find on them. Where the originals are held and finding aids are also included.

Coach Suspends Entire Team
Roosevelt, Utah -
(KSL) A Utah high school football coach who suspended the entire team for academic and attitude issues is getting praise for his action.
Matt Labrum, who is the head football coach and teacher in the Utah town of Roosevelt said he's shocked and overwhelmed by both the media interest and the outpouring of support for the decision he and his staff made last week to suspend everyone but the program's freshman students from playing football.
"It's wonderful to see so many people being so supportive of us," Labrum said. "We're isolated out here. This is all new. We didn't want the media exposure to make us lose sight of why we were doing this."
What Labrum and his staff did was tell the teenage players Friday night that there would be no more football until they earned the privilege to play. At a 7 a.m. meeting the next day, coaches gave the boys a letter that outlined what they would need to do to earn back their jerseys and the right to play in this Friday's homecoming game.

She loves me, she loves me not. That's the vibe you get with this weird Exchange ActiveSync saga/drama going on between Google and Microsoft right now. It was back in mid-December that Google dropped a bomb on the internet (and mostly Microsoft) by announcing that it was going to stop supporting EAS on January 30, 2013 – which is today.
Existing connections wouldn't be affected, but going forward anyone trying to set up a Gmail account on a Windows Phone would have a less than ideal experience. Now we've got a temporary silver lining.

"Thank you! This time around has been very successful. I was doing another program and my weight loss was extremely slow, even gaining some weeks. Since starting back with The Five Rules, I've lost significant weight every week. I am ecstatic! It really works!"
~ 2011 Leptin Diet Challenge Participant
Losing weight is hard enough; keeping it off is even harder. New research shows that even after maintaining an amount of weight loss for greater than one year, basal metabolism may still be in "hibernation" mode. This is the first time this has been demonstrated in humans. It means that many people will easily gain weight if they eat too much, even if their weight has been stable for a while.
Many people lose weight simply by cleaning up the junk in their diets and cutting back a bit. As weight problems get more locked into place then stricter dieting approaches are typically employed. Those who restrict too much too fast, even though they may drop weight quickly for a time, are inducing low-leptin "hibernation" metabolism, as described in my book The Leptin Diet. This new study shows that this hibernation mode can persist for quite a while after weight has been lost - meaning it will be quite easy to gain weight back if you simply get off track for a few days.
By following the Leptin Diet you can reduce the chance of metabolic slow down while you are losing weight. If you exercise consistently at your new weight you will ensure that "hibernation" metabolism is much less likely to be an issue. Doing it right will help you keep the weight off over the long haul.
One of the great values of the Leptin Diet is that it is a lifestyle of eating that you can easily follow for the rest of your life - and it works!

Grilled Rosemary-Salmon Skewers
4 servings

• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound center-cut Wild salmon fillet, skinned (see Tips) and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either. To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Don't use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

Your liver plays a central role in the metabolism of any type of calorie. During weight gain your liver is being punched in the nose by inflammatory metabolic flu signals coming from your white adipose tissue and from your digestive tract. At the same time, your white adipose tissue is unable to store fat fast enough, turning to the primary backup location for fat storage - your liver. Now your liver gets clogged with excess fat, metabolism becomes even more strained, your waistline expands, and you are at risk for developing far more serious health problems. Read More...

The metabolic flu weakens your host defenses. This enables germ gangs to take up unwanted residence. Your immune system can't get rid of them and struggles to keep them in their existing neighborhoods. Some of these germ gangs live within your digestive tract, lungs, or sinuses. Some even live in your white adipose tissue. The net result is increased tissue damage, higher levels of inflammation, higher levels of toxic exposure, food sensitivities, greater risk for immune system malfunction, and significantly more trouble engaging weight loss or sustaining a weight loss program.

I am introducing a new term into the lexicon of the weight-loss world - metabolic flu. The primary symptom of this problem is abnormal fatigue. This includes feeling like you did not sleep well, easy power outages by mid afternoon, and erratic energy at night that is a bizarre combination of fatigue and wired energy resulting in sleep problems. This type of fatigue is also associated with difficulty getting energy from a reasonable amount of food and an inability to sustain energy between meals without snacking. Read More...

The ability of your body to process trash, including toxic trash, is a pervasive factor in your ability to lose weight and reach a healthy goal weight. Conversely, a struggle with this issue activates back-up strategies for dealing with toxic overload that include expanding your number of fat cells and stuffing them with toxins as well as fat. This is likely done to get the toxic trash out of your circulation and away from key organs. It causes easy weight gain and it complicates weight loss as your body does not easily give up the toxic fat it has stored.

Marlins likely, but not certain to keep Ramirez
Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest indicated it's likely — but not certain — Hanley Ramirez will remain with the team after the expected signing of shortstop Jose Reyes.
Beinfest was circumspect in discussing his plans Monday, since the team has yet to formally announce Reyes' six-year, $106 million contract. But when asked how the signing of a new shortstop would impact Ramirez, the incumbent shortstop, Beinfest said: "If something like that happened, he would change positions. If and when we acquire a shortstop, we'll address that. Hanley wants to win. We'd like to provide the pieces around him to help him win."
Ramirez has a strong preference to remain at shortstop, sources say, but he intends to handle the matter with the Marlins professionally. He has not requested a trade. One major league source said Ramirez is likely to move to third base.
Beinfest was asked if Ramirez had suggested he would prefer a trade to switching positions.
"Whatever Hanley and I talk about, we'll keep between Hanley and I," Beinfest said. "I can only tell you he wants to win. We're going to try to help him out."
Asked if he envisions Ramirez on his Opening Day roster in 2012, Beinfest replied, "I'm not going to talk specifically about players, if they're going to be here or not."
If the Marlins were to make Ramirez available via trade, the Braves, Red Sox, Astros, Brewers, Phillies, Cardinals, Giants and Mariners are among the teams that could upgrade at shortstop.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Black Women Mobilizing Intersectionality in Urban Land Rights Struggles in Brazil
Keisha-Khan Perry, Assistant Professor of Africana Studies,
Brown University
In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora rarely are black women, especially poor black women, considered leaders of social movements, much less political theorists. While black women are at the heart of the struggle for urban housing and land rights in Salvador, they are virtually ignored. The public image of black women, particularly those who live in poor neighborhoods, is that they lack the knowledge and political sophistication needed to organize social movements. This presentation explores how and why black women are the main ones interpreting the racial, gender, and class dynamics of urban-development policies and have radicalized local communities. Perry argues that Black women who organize as blacks, women, and poor people provide key insights on precisely how intersectionality is mobilized for social change. This talk bridges the scholarly gap between the black feminist theorization and the grassroots practice of intersectionality.
Lunch will be provided. An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Humans can't go to Mars (yet), but at least for now, we can send extensions of ourselves. Mars Science Laboratory's rover will be the hardiest geologist the red planet's seen yet, going farther and into rougher terrain than ever before. And, it also carries the most sophisticated instruments we've ever sent to the surface of Mars, including a laser to zap hard-to-reach rocks and check out what chemicals and minerals they're made of.
The rover's durable design and big backpack of gear allow the team back on Earth to "see" and study the history of some very remote areas. These areas may hold some answers to the big question: did Mars ever have an environment to support life?
In this video, peek inside the rover's pack and hear why John Grotzinger, the project's lead scientist, can't wait to explore Mars with one rough rover.

When the 207-year-old Upper West Side institution reopens to the public on November 11, nearly every facet will have changed. (Even the museum's website is getting an update.) Among the upgrades is the Great Hall, a permanent display that visitors will encounter as they enter the building's Central Park West--facing entrance. The space features several new elements—such as a piece of the ceiling from Keith Haring's now-defunct Pop Shop on Lafayette Street, and "manholes" visitors can peek inside to see different historic artifacts—that highlight different points in New York's history. (Other additions include the DiMenna Children's History Museum.) The museum shop has been completely renovated, and there will now be a full-service restaurant on the premises. Visitors can take advantage of an orientation film in the refurbished Robert H. Smith Auditorium, which will offer an introduction to the Historical Society and an overview of New York's history.

the free market is screwing me
moots, agree that everyone won't sign up and i'm fairly hardcore libertarian so i'm all for the government stepping aside but the fact is it's a law even if we don't like it.
...the reason a third party can't get a hold is because of the very reason you stated. people are so scared the guy they like the least will win that they'll vote for someone they may not particularly like just to stop that. if about a third of the people that are probably in the middle like me would vote outside the two parties you'd see the people in those parties doing they're jobs.
...my point was that forcing people to get insurance doesn't make health care "affordable". the statistic is about one third of the current uninsured that plan on taking the penalty. i think there are people out there that can't get it that do want it.
...i guess i'm too hard headed to let the two parties in power make a sheep out of me. i will vote for a libertarian or 3rd party candidate until i see someone i think is a better candidate.
...obama said a lot of bad things about republicans and palin and the tea party immediately went out and proved him right.
Quote the free market is screwing meyou have insurance. you do not have the free market. the market is you making the best deal for you. not you taking the insurance you can get or are given, then having no idea what the real cost of care is.insurance destroyed the free market in medicine. it was demanded by (primarily) unions. what are unions? leftist organization. what is their motto? "someone else should pay for my stuff"maybe our first problem to solve is to reeducate people about what the free market is? :-(
unfortunately the drug manufacturers operate in the free market and charge me and you way more than they do people in other countries because the market will bear it here.
i'm all for the free market but i'm not too blind to see that the medical industry is sticking it to me because they can. your argument would actually back up obamacare. i'm stuck with the limits of the insurance made available to me by my employer but i could drop that and get insurance from one of the choices.
this idiotic shut down is basically being blamed 100 percent on the republican party and the tea party in particular.
and palin was called stupid and she proved them right, she's an idiot. she wasn't able to answer simple questions when she was interviewed and when she did answer some she generally shoved her foot in her mouth.
JP you going to confuse Blue with all those facts
suggesting i'm ignorant because i don't agree with you isn't an argument but it's usually what people on both ends of the spectrum start to do.
but after calming down and knowing some people that it will actually help i think we need some kind of change in the system.
it's a law, we're stuck with that.
country has blindly picked sides and no one is willing to even look for some kind of compromise.
both parties are run by corrupt self serving people that couldn't care less about the average american

As a new teacher, i need to consult more information about teaching ideas.
Your sites I got from useful EFL links given by ITTT.
I did started my private one-one teaching, and before started the first lesson I given them a form to fill-up (Needs analysis form). I have one student that I need suggestion or advice on how i focus my lesson on his aims. What materials is good to used? What strategy is more effective? He belong to intermediate level, and according to him he wanted to be able to watch a film and understand the language used (English). He speak the language well, and i think the problem is the listening skills. Advice me please...

The R32 will be okay once they're front facing, but a 4 door was necessary. I had so much equity in the S2000 it just didn't make sense to keep it and not put that value towards another car.
Like I said, someday I'll own another one. For now, I'm glad I got to own one of my realistic dream cars.

Chatted with my coworker today. I did some maths and with a raise coming this November I'm in a good position. His 2003 still has fewer than 15k miles on it and putting him on the spot for a ballpark on what he wants to get out of it revealed "15 or 16 thousand." I think I can make a case for $15k and some change. Car's in very good shape, with only minor cosmetic "issues," such as paint flaws and leather wear.
Since I don't have access to s2ki here at work...sound decent?
silver is a very common color and they tend to go for a few hundred less...though full red interior on a silver one changes that. crashes hurt these things too, there are few minor crashes in one of these cars. otherwise, sounds like a very good deal. only thing to watch for on an 03 is a torn/bad top. they resolved the banjo bolt, crappy plastic rear window, even worse stereo, and several other issues by 02...
and i already was whoring these in the other thread, but here is a few more...
I don't post often, but when I do...
+1 for Rega Evo's.
-254 + Cancer for ******ry stance bull****.
I test drove one last week . 02 with 155k miles for $11.5k, turned out to be a dog, ruff ruff shape inside/out. I'm glad I took it to a Honda dealer for a full inspection. Was still good to get in one and finally drive it. Also drove an 01 this weekend, asked someone at the autox if I could flog it for a minute or two so I know how a proper running motor should feel. I gotta say they feel slow compared to my Forester, slower than what I expected but that's to be expected with a turbo vs NA 4 banger. Handling on the other hand is great, I've got tons of $$ put into suspension on the Subie and these things stock handle great which is why I want one. Patience of course is key, I'll find one eventually in the right condition for the right price.
I intend to set up some time to give it a good test-drive in the near future.

'Kotalik scored the winner when he chased down a loose puck in the left corner. Holding onto the puck, he worked his way back to the point and blasted a shot that cleanly beat rookie goalie Justin Pogge in a game that was scoreless after 40 minutes.'
'Derek Roy had a goal and an assist while Maxim Afinogenov assisted on all three tallies for the Sabres, who improved to 1-2 in preseason play. Ryan Miller stopped 26 shots in the victory.'
'A hooking penalty to Boyd Devereaux put Buffalo on the man advantage and Derek Roy capitalized, finding the back of the net to cut the deficit to one. A few minutes later, another Toronto penalty, another Buffalo goal. With Leafs center John Mitchell watching from the box, Paul Gaustad tied the game 2-2 with only five seconds remaining in regluation time. It didn't take the Sabres long to end it in the extra frame. Ales Kotalik ripped the game-winner past Pogge just 1:03 in.'
'"The fans are loud, there is no doubt about that," Rivet said. "We gave them a little bit of a heart attack, but it's a nice way to win. The guys never quit."'
'However, barring a trade for another puck-moving defenseman, the Sabres might have trouble keeping pace with the Canadiens and Bruins in the Northeast.'
'For someone who became a goalie in California, the Buffalo Sabres' Ryan Miller has come a long way to become one of the NHL's premier netminders.'
'"I don't know if I can describe it," Kennedy said. "The first period my skates were tied so tight I couldn't feel my feet. It was pretty fun, though, to put on the jersey I've been watching for the past 20 years or so. It was awesome."'
'"My first NHL camp has definitely been a good experience," the 5-foot-11, 185-pound left winger said. "The veteran guys seem to take all the younger guys under their wing. They show you the ropes, they show you how to carry yourself as a Buffalo Sabre."'

'The Buffalo Sabres left winger is noticeably bigger this training camp. The chest puffs out further. The shoulders bulge a little more. It's from Paille's dedication to an offseason training program.'

'"Everywhere I went there were guys wearing Sabres jerseys… in early September!" the head coach of the Portland Pirates said. "With football season underway and the Buffalo Bills off to a good start, that really says something about the hockey culture here. People talk highly of it and you can see why."'
'Clarke MacArthur stands at the first crossroads of his short career.'
""They want to see progress, that's the main thing," Schiestel said Tuesday afternoon before taking to the ice for practice at Jack Gatecliff Arena. "If they see you improving every time, that's all they can ask for."'

Happy Music Monday! We'll get right to the point: some artists like swiping. Scott's found five songs that borrow - ahem - heavily from classical music. Sometimes they admit it, and sometimes they don't. Let's start with this soulful homage:
The Toys - A Lover's Concerto
The hardest part of a pop hit is finding a tune for your lyrics. So when you get a chance to collaborate with Johann Sebastian Bach, you take it, right? The Toys also passed this song along to The Supremes and it might have made a cameo in Electric Dreams depending on which version you prefer to credit. Bach's probably too dead to care anyway.
Copyright don't matter when it's a few hundred years old! More to come, along with the Spotify playlist, right after the jump.
Our Spotify playlist is back! This time it's Names and it's a companion to our previous two weeks collecting name songs from men and women. Check those out in our great big mix after you enjoy our current Music Monday below.
Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love
How many weddings have included this touching tribute to love? It doesn't lessen the King's version to find out that his song was based on a much older song from 1780. As you can hear, there were in fact some changes made. We think that qualifies him under fair use, right?
Billy Joel - This Night
Mr. Joel is not at all a stupid fella. He loves music, and history, and probably would be a great person to hang out with in a bar. That might be why his version of a Beethoven Sonata actually gives a writing credit to Ludwig Van. After all, piano players gotta help each other out when they can, right?
Barry Manilow - Could It Be Magic
Man, I wouldn't be putting Barry Manilow in a Music Monday without good reason. But the guy plays a mean piano, and as such, he knows from whom to borrow. His cover of this Chopin Prelude doesn't really hide a thing. In fairness, as you can see above, neither does Barry, who credits the composer before starting his comedy bit. And who knows, maybe Chopin would have enjoyed disco.
Eric Carmen - All By Myself
The most 70s sound this side of Meat Loaf. And yet, it's really from the start of the 20th Century! Rachmaninov gets most of the credit here, and maybe we could just write that off as a fluke, if it wasn't for Carmen's follow up hit, Never Gonna Fall In Love Again, which ALSO borrows from Rachmaninov. Once is cute, Eric. Twice is just lazy.
Know any more classical thievery? If so, hit the comments below, because they might be pretty sparse this week, and we'd love to learn who's boostin' from who. Even if you can't think of a one, you're still welcome in our Turntable.fm room for the regular Music Monday enjoyment. And we're not the stealing type, so be aware: some images come from their corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
Wow Scott, And I thought My Idea was oddly specific. This one's going to be a challenge. Lemme think of one.
It's a little bit of a stretch but I'm going to submit Bright Eyes, Road to Joy
with Beethoven's Ode to Joy in there. At least Connor acknowledges it, and calls it "Road to Joy".
There! It can be Done!
Pachelbel's Canon has probably inspired more imitators than any other song. Here's a partial list.

And of course Rob Paravonian"s fabulous "Pachelbel Rant"
It should be noted that Carmen did indeed get sued by the Rachmaninoff estate and has been forced to pay royalties ever since.
Emerson Lake and Palmer have been classical borrowers for ages, but their rock pieces are more often intentional (and credited) rearrangements. Composers they've hit included Copland and Prokofiev.
The Small Faces' "My Mind's Eye" lifts liberally from "Gloria in Excelsis Deo".
Most of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's stuff is pulled from the classical era, especially Beethoven (who gets his own album). Generally credited where it makes sense.
50 Cent is widely regarded in classical music circles as an unapologetic thief of motifs, themes and even progressions of most of the masters of classical music, from Liszt to Beethoven and Brahms. His "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" album was pulled pretty much chord for chord from one of Beethoven's earlier symphonies.
I was coming in to post about the Pachelbel rant, but I see RWoodward's beaten me to the punch. Still, if you haven't seen it, you should.
Jethro Tull's Bourée is a swingin' version of Bach's Bourrée in E minor.
Does "A Fifth of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band count?
I think the Beastie Boys take the cake for sampling from the 20th century's most groundbreaking composer, Igor Stravinsky. "Electrify" (on the album Hello Nasty) samples from the Infernal Dance of King Kashchei (from Stravinsky's fantastic Firebird Suite), and the music video version of the famous Intergalactic opens with the Sacrificial Dance (from Stravinksy's Rite of Spring).
And in opening with the Rite of Spring while the video's showing them cruising through space Star Wars-style, the Beastie Boys highlight the debt that space opera soundtracks, and John Williams' Star Wars music specifically, owe to Stravinsky's music.

What is so Unique About the Chinese Learner?
In my opinion the answer to this question is, not a lot. Nevertheless, there are some clear cultural traits that distinguish Chinese students from, for instance, Europeans or other language learners in the world.
As far as I can reflect, I reckon there are 14 valid and significant generalisations we can safely make to serve as a handy reference point for people who are new to teaching English in China.
I have deliberately left out specific mention of grammar and phonology because this post is not about error correction; it is about being a more culturally sensitive, and thus, a more effective educator.
1. Students are used to and comfortable with, a teacher-centred classroom. I believe teachers need to do as much as possible to rectify this attitude and encourage students to forget about the way they learned English in school.
2. Pronunciation is the biggest single problem. 80 per cent of communication breakdowns are because of poor pronunciation, not grammar. OK, this is true in any language but Chinese happens to have a particularly narrow range of sounds in comparison to English which makes it all the more difficult.
3. Students are very good at reading and writing. Speaking and listening skills are usually much weaker. See point 1.
4. The strong point of many learners is vocabulary. Often they have too much passive vocab which is redundant for the level at which they are at, as communicators.
5. Difficulty with numbers. Of course, Asian people use a completely different numbering system to English speakers and as such, learners at all levels of the spectrum need persistent practice with expressions of numerical value.
6. They are shy and quiet. This is truest below LI. There is certainly a common fear of making mistakes among many students at all levels and, unlike Americans, Chinese people do not naturally feel comfortable showing off or tooting their horn. This strategy is designed to minimise the risk of face loss and patently has adverse effects in the language classroom; where communicative risk taking is the key to an individual's progress.
7. Humour is almost always acceptable. Chinese students of all ages and social status like to enjoy the process of language learning and, unlike Europeans, do not take themselves too seriously. They tend to be relatively enthusiastic when it comes to group work, game playing and competition.
8. Age is to be respected. Again, this attitude loosely but consistently underlies Chinese culture. Even if an older student is noticeably dragging the class back, confrontation or direct rudeness is always avoided.
9. They are test oriented. Students excel in the traditional mode of education which includes high levels of memorisation and are result rather than process oriented. The grade matters in China, sometimes more so than the understanding. This can encourage cutting corners but in general, effort and persistence are valued more than ability.
10. Adult learners appreciate intellectualism. They tend to be detail and precision oriented. In the classical manner, they like to learn for personal development, not just for economic necessity.
11. They can be more passive during larger group sessions and fall victim to groupthink; whereby there is a reluctance to go against majority opinion or speak up and disagree with the teacher.
12. Chinese people avoid conflict - sometimes with a unique brand of diplomacy and politeness while at the same time being disarmingly direct in their questioning.
13. Chinese people tend to smile more easily than westerners when they feel difficulty or embarrassment. The old nervous laugh is used to good effect in China.
14. Lower level students can become a bit anxious about being in front of a foreign teacher or being directly questioned by one. Be aware of this; be gentle and passive but try to change it.
Finally, remember that all these aphorisms will be constantly proven wrong and can also be applied to western students. This is why it's best to take any cultural generalisations and stereotypes with a large pinch of salt.

"Our seniors really stepped up today when we need them to," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "Sean Callahan came up with some big-time stops in the second half. Our attacking trio of Travis Gibbons, Simon Giourmetakis and Jimmy Haney really buried their chances. Justin Maderer, Ryan O'Hagan, Brendan Murphy and Nico Capron did a phenomenal job on the defensive end, along with freshman Adam Donner. I couldn't be happier and more proud with our effort today and look forward to another great game on Sunday."
Senior Jimmy Haney led the Griffs in the win, matching career highs with five points and four goals. Senior Simon Giourmetakis matched Haney with five points, netting a hat trick to go along with two assists. Fellow senior Travis Gibbons paced the Canisius attack, recording four points on a goal and a career-best three assists. Seniors Brandon Bortignon and Justin Maderer also posted multiple points, with Bortingon recording a goal and an assist and Maderer chipping in two helpers.
Junior Nick Caldiero and freshmen Kevin Collins and Tim Edwards rounded out the scoring for Canisius with a goal each.
Senior Sean Callahan anchored a strong defensive effort in the win, recording 13 saves. The senior was especially strong in the second half, posting nine saves on 14 shots on goal in the winning effort.
The Titans grabbed the early advantage in the contest thanks to the play of goalkeeper A.J. Levell, who held the Griffs to just two tallies in the opening 30 minutes of action with nine first-half stops. Detroit netted five goals on its end to take a 5-2 lead into the intermission.
The second half was a different story as the Griffs were able to solve the Detroit goaltending and finish their chances. Haney netted a pair of goals in the first three minutes of the third quarter to bring Canisius within one, 5-4. Caldiero then knotted the game for the first time since the score was 0-0 with his first goal of the day with 10:05 remaining in the quarter, completing the Canisius rally in just 4:55 of action in the second half.
Twice Detroit reclaimed its lead in the third quarter only to see the Griffs answer right back less than a minute later. Collins netted his second goal of the season just 12 seconds after a Titan score and Giourmetakis then tied the game at seven 57 ticks following a Detroit goal. Canisius finally claimed its first lead of the day when Bortignon netted a man-up goal with 3:25 remaining in the period, giving Canisius an 8-7 advantage heading into the fourth frame.
The Griffs stretched their lead to two early in the fourth quarter when Haney completed his hat trick 1:24 into the stanza. The senior then gave the Griffs a three-goal advantage with an unassisted tally with 9:21 remaining in the contest.
Detroit twice pulled to within two but each time, Canisius was there to answer. Gibbons' first goal of the game with 1:34 remaining sealed the victory for the Griffs before a Detroit goal with one tick left resulted in the 12-10 final.
The Titans finished the game with a slight edge in shots (40-35), ground balls (37-36) and faceoffs (13-12). Scott Harris and Alex Maini each netted a team-best two goals, while Levell finished with 14 saves.
The Griffs now advance to face Siena in the championship game on Sunday. The Saints, who topped Marist in the night's second semifinal, defeated Canisius earlier in the season, earning a 14-2 victory in Loudonville. A bid in the 2012 NCAA Tournament is on the line with the game slated to begin at noon.
Game Notes: The Griffs are making their first trip to the MAAC Tournament since taking the title in 2008 ... Canisius won its only other previous championship game, 14-5 over VMI in 2008 ... The win marked the first time that the Griffs won a MAAC Tournament game as the lower seed ... Canisius is now 3-4 all-time in MAAC Tournament play, winning its last three contests ... The Griffs are a perfect 5-0 this season when outscoring its opponent in the second half ... The Canisius seniors accounted for 10 of the team's 12 goals (83.3 percent) and nine of the team's 10 assists (90 percent) ... For the season, the Class of 2012 has accounted for 78.3 percent of the team's goals (83-106) and 72.2 percent of the team's points (127-176) ... The two points for Bortignon marked the first time in his career that he registered multiple points ... Edwards had his streak of 10-straight multi-point games snapped ... The teams were meeting for the first time in the postseason and the overall series is now even at two.

Big Red Blog: Cardinals have hit rock bottom
Cardinals have hit rock bottom
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Thursday, December 13 - 9:30 AM
Not much new can be said about the Arizona Cardinals as they've now dropped nine consecutive outings. The team hit rock bottom last week in a 58-0 loss against the Seattle Seahawks and questions of a complete overhaul have surfaced for a franchise that's headed in the wrong direction.
This week, the Detroit Lions head to the desert – another struggling team with a record of 4-9. Coming off a playoff berth in 2011, with playmakers such as QB Matthew Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson, the team had high expectations in the NFC North division. The Lions, however, have suffered through a self-destructing season similar to what's happened in Arizona.
Detroit has a five-game losing streak of its own but a quick look at the schedule shows the team could be in a different spot had the breaks gone its way. The Lions dropped a Week 13 contest against the Indianapolis Colts on the final play of the game and should have won a Thanksgiving-day loss against the Houston Texans. Furthermore, seven of Detroit's nine losses have come by a touchdown or less.
On paper, this should be an easy win for the Lions. The Cardinals are coming off an embarrassing loss in Seattle and QB Ryan Lindley will be back under center. Detroit has a tremendous advantage at the skill positions and in the trenches, but has found a way to lose games it should have won all season long.
John Skelton got what could have been his final chance to prove himself as a starting NFL quarterback a week ago and failed miserably. Kevin Kolb was recently placed on injured reserve, leaving Lindley to clean up for the rest of the season.
Lindley, a sixth-round draft selection out of San Diego St, has played like a rookie during his time on the field. Lindley has yet to throw a touchdown while tossing five interceptions en route to a dismal 42.6 QB rating. The Lions' defense will be licking its chops to force him into more mistakes.
With both teams sporting 4-9 records, it will be interesting to see who comes more interested in getting a victory.
During last week's blowout loss, the Cardinals looked to have thrown in the towel and the only thing left to play for may be the job security of coach Ken Whisenhunt. Meanwhile, the Lions square off against the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears in the coming weeks and this could be the most winnable game left on their schedule.
Given the superior playmakers and overall talent of for Detroit, it will be a difficult proposition for Arizona to snap its current nine-game skid. Even though the Lions won't necessarily be dialed into to Sunday's contest they'll find a way to win against an underwhelming Cardinals team – particularly with Lindley back at quarterback.
Prediction: Detroit 30 Arizona 13

Sam Wood has been in the building trade for 25 years, working as one of the busiest and best-known construction specialists in one of the most unusual housing markets in America: Fire Island, N.Y. Thirty miles long and rarely more than 800 feet wide, this strip of beach is the summer retreat of choice for a diverse blend of New Yorkers who are attracted to either its un-Hamptonian informality or its thriving gay community (or both). Based in the hamlet of Kismet near the island's westernmost point, Wood's eponymous company has been involved in everything from building casual summer cottages to jacking existing structures up above the ever-rising flood planes. But his latest project, he claims, broke the mold: "This was a whole other animal," Wood says.
Wood is standing in the front hall of the new vacation home of Phil and Lucy Suarez, a simple white-steel structure—modestly sized at 2,000 square feet—that is instantly and undeniably recognizable as the work of Richard Meier, FAIA. The architect has known the clients for so long that "I don't remember when we met," Meier says—though it had to have been at some point prior to the late '60s, when the couple approached him to design the interior of their Manhattan apartment. "We really became friends on that project," recalls Mrs. Suarez, and their enduring relationship led to this second commission almost 50 years later. "I just didn't want someone else doing it," Meier says.
The designer offered his services after the Suarez's original Fire Island house burned down three years ago—the conflagration having been extinguished, ironically, by Wood, who, in classic Fire Island fashion, moonlights as a local volunteer fireman. But fighting the flames was nothing compared to the problems of building in steel and glass on an elongated sandbar accessible mainly by boat: Putting together the all-glazed, beach-facing northern wall, the minimal and carefully secluded interior living spaces, and perfectly composed fireplace—complete with projecting chimney—took a full year longer than Wood estimated.
Richard Meier & Partners Architects associate partner Bernhard Karpf, AIA, was charged with the logistics for completing the project, and he credits Wood's team with surmounting hurdles that included the devastation of Hurricane Sandy to realize what is, at bottom, a deeply personal vision shared by architect and client. "This was Richard's thing that he wanted to do himself," Karpf says. "It's just a little glass jewel box on Fire Island."

Friday 27th August 2010
Waiting for confirmation of the dates for our six Champions League group matches is always quite a painful experience especially when our opponents and consequently our destinations have been confirmed!
For sheer diversity our three trips this year take us into areas probabably more differing from one another than ever before. A tough group to progress from and some long old journeys but you cannot do anything else but look forward to trips to Portugal, Serbia and the Ukraine.
Flights booked and accommodation sourced, that can now go on the backburner as we look forward to an extremely early start for our lunchtime kick-off up at Blackburn on Saturday.
Always a very tough place to go I'm sure our latest encounter will be no different. Buoyed by our last outing it is a game we can go into with confidence.
Three points to bring back south would be extremely welcome.

After seven dramatic seasons, the award-winning "Mad Men" is coming to an end (sigh). While we wait for the second batch of episodes to air on April 5, AMC is teasing us with a gallery of promo photos featuring Don Draper and his favorite females.
Her hit show "Mad Men" is coming to a close just in time, as Jessica Paré is pregnant with her first child.
The "Hot Tub Time Machine" stunner (33) and her Canadian punk rock musician boyfriend John Kastner will be parents in 2015 after having begun a relationship last year.
Stepping out for a memorable evening, the cast of "Mad Men" showed up at the Landmark Theatre in Los Angeles for a screening of their hit show.
Elisabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks both garnered plenty of attention as they arrived at the shindig, hosted by Deadline and Awardsline.
Gearing up for another year of excellence from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, Jessica Paré was in the house for the 2014 Met Gala tonight (May 5).
Fans and shutterbugs alike clamored to catch a glimpse as the "Mad Men" star meandered around the arrivals area, chatting with other famous folks. Jessica is wearing a Michael Kors gown.
Gearing up for the season premiere of "Mad Men," Jessica Paré headed over to " Jimmy Kimmel Live" in Hollywood on Monday (April 7).
The "Standby" starlet was gorgeous in a form-fitting floral dress teamed with a pair of black leather booties as she flashed her legs and scurried inside for her interview.
With the final season of her hit AMC series "Mad Men" set to premiere on April 13th, Jessica Pare scored herself a feature in the April 2014 issue of Esquire magazine.
Building up the hype surrounding the premiere of "Mad Men's" seventh season, three new teaser images featuring characters Don Draper, Peggy Olsen, Megan Draper and Roger Sterling waiting patiently at an airport have just been released by AMC.
The images themselves tell us very little about what we can look forward to in the seventh and final season of AMC's fantastic drama, and that's just the way series creator, Matthew Weiner wants to keep it.
With the final season of her hit AMC series "Mad Men" set to premiere April 13th, Jessica Pare garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the March 2014 issue of Fashion magazine.

1992 Ford F-150 4X4. Cheappp.
I have a 92 F150. It has 283K Miles. Yes 283K Original miles on a Original 302 which is dog ass tired. Unlike 96% of high mile vehicles my engine was not replaced with one containing only 100K 3 Months ago. The transmission was replaced when the truck had 210K with one that had 250K so its up there. Its a farm truck. Has about 32 bullet holes in the bed some are full penetration others however only go partially through. And there are about 3 in the Cab its-self. 4X4 works.... Sometimes. However when its under high stress it'll pop into N. It's been used to haul Hay, Feed, Firewood, and a Few Kegs occasionally. It rides down the road on a 4" Body lift. Now this isn't your typical body lift. It's a Lowes Bought from a Local Store 2X4 cut down and spray painted black . However the cuts are pretty clean and most of them are even. But any way it rides like a fucking tank. Literally if you are going to drive this any where with a beverage the can better be half gone or it needs to have a lid. I can include 3 or 4 of the Can Toppers. No need for a rear sliding window. Because its a full open back window from a keg making entry when it hit the mud pit. I do not believe any of the tires match to be honest. I know it has 1 33" SSR. The exhaust is completely custom. However they are true duals. One exits right under the cab. The other shoots out the back. More of a surround sound feeling. The interior smells god awful like someone took a massive full time shit inside. The front bumper is damn near useless now after taking down numerous Barns, Tress, and a Few field cars... As far as the rear goes my buddy bought 32 acres which contained a very large barn that I tried to pull down I tried tugging it a few times and it didnt budge. So we got 150' of rope and I backed up to the barn itself. Well anyway I fed the strap through the bumper and its no longer there. Half fell off and the other half is connected to the 6X6 in place of where the original bumper was. I've beat the living dog piss out of this truck. It was in a partial Passenger side rollover so the P-Side mirror is no longer there. The tailgate is there but it does not close. So its always down. Also the passenger side carpet has a very very large burn hole in it. And well its a burn. Also I do believe it has more rust then paint.
I would be happy to see 350$ out of it!
Will add more info if I can think of anything..
No pics its not worth my battery life..
Just imagine a 1992 F150 4X4.. But real shitty like

Concern grows for baby abducted after grandmother's homicide in Montgomery Co.
UPPER MERION TWP., Pa. - It's been more than 24 hours, and still no sign of a 10 month-old infant who disappeared after her grandmother was murdered. Authorities in Montgomery Co. are being tight-lipped about the investigation.
For the family of little Saanvi Venna, it's a mystery that grows more painful by the hour.
"If someone finds my baby, can you please bring my baby back, don't do any harm to my baby," said the girl's father, Siva Venna.
Billboards across the state are flashing Amber Alert messages for Venna. She has been missing since Monday afternoon, when police found her grandmother, Satyavathi Venna, murdered inside the girl's high-rise unit at Marquis Apartments near the King of Prussia Mall. Police said the grandmother was visiting from India, and was babysitting the girl at the time.
An autopsy Tuesday confirmed the grandmother's cause of death as homicide, but neither the coroner nor the district attrorney would say exactly how she was killed.
Meantime, FBI agents were out at the Marquis Apartments Tuesday morning, passing out flyers to residents. Investigators also gathered bags of evidence at the murder scene, and even drained the complex's swimming pool, but are releasing very few details about their investigation.
Across the street, grocery shoppers had mixed feelings about whether they feel unsafe. Sophia Zurita said she feels nervous.
"Yeah, who wouldn't?", she said. "Somebody's murdered, and they kidnap a baby, who wouldn't be?"
But Zack Hodges felt it was targeted attack.
"I felt that it was domestic, something was going on," he said. "It didn't make sense because it was too big of a place if it was to be a robbery. I didn't hear anything about a robbery or anything like that."
The girl's parents, both software engineers, just moved to the area in June, but one neighbor said he now wants to leave.
"I am living there for the last two years, three months," said Vasu Velaga. "This month, I'm thinking of moving from here."
Venna's uncle said Tuesday that the family can't understand why anyone would target little Saanvi and her grandmother.
"No, absolutely," said Ram Venna. "We don't have any idea and we don't suspicion on anyone."
District Attorney Ferman saiod she did not expect to release further updates about the case Tuesday night.

My reasons for running a vertical hive are to have a hive that requires less management because I can stack the supers on at the beginning of the flow and come back and harvest.
To me a Warre Hive is like the Langstroth that is foundationless. Is that correct?
yes, get a book, is there something wrong with reading the instructions that go with the hive and method.? where better to get first hand information?forums are filled with all kinds of people, each with opinions and we know what opinions are like, and some of those smell just as bad. Getting other peoples opinions is fine, but it doesn't outweigh thinking for yourself, unless you're a sheep which some people are obviously happy being.people promote what they like. they promote what is exciting and interesting to them. and some people promote things they have a personal interest in, be it financial, influential, etc.. so, regardless of what camp they come from, there are some you simply just can't believe.
I don't think the Warre is over hyped. I think it is frequently mis-understood by people who just breeze through the book or don't read the book but just other quips and comments online.
if they have a personal agenda to make everyone walk the same road they do, too bad for them. They can do things the way they choose and you can do things the way you choose.
Ok, thanks for the comments. I think the the only way for me to know if I would like it or not is to try one (or not try one). BjornBee I went to the webiste you posted and looked at the advantages and disadvanatges. I was hoping for some personal experiences kind of like Robo posted in another post of why they like them or why they dont. We can end the thread because I dont like to see people arguing and getting off track.
