West Point, N.Y. – The Canisius College hockey team had its five-game unbeaten streak in conference play snapped with a 2-0 loss at Army. The loss drops the Griffs to 5-8-1 and 4-4-1 in Atlantic Hockey play, while the Black Knights improve to 3-11-0 and 3-8-0 against league foes.
"As difficult as the game was to play in, our power play had three opportunities in the third period and were unable to get the equalizing tally," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith.
Junior Keegan Asmundson recorded 29 saves in net for the Griffs.
After a scoreless first period, the Black Knights found the back of the net midway through the second frame when Shane Hearn finished a rush for a 1-0 lead and the only goal that Army would need.
Canisius' best opportunity on the night came when senior Ryan Bohrer had a breakaway with 13 minutes remaining only to be denied by the Army goaltender. The Griffs were also unable to score in three third-period power-play chances, firing three shots on goal in the man-up opportunities.
The Black Knights then sealed the victory when Hearn scored an empty-net goal with 57.5 seconds remaining.
Army finished the game with a 31-15 advantage in shots on the night with neither team converting on the power play. Canisius was 0-for-3 with the extra-man advantage, while killing all five Black Knight power plays.
Canisius is off until Dec. 28 when it travels to Vermont for the Catamount Cup. The Griffs open the invitational with UMass Lowell with game time slated for 4:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius has averaged just 1.60 goals per game with Asmundson in net, compared to 3.11 goals per game with senior Tony Capobianco between the pipes … The Griffs have allowed just one power-play goal in their last 34 man-down situations … The 15 shots on goal were the fewest by Canisius this season (previous low was 20).

George Bush made another trip in order to assist in the quest for peace, in the aftermath of his short stay in several Middle Eastern nations lies a trail of confusion, anger, and missed opportunities to help resolve conflict. President Abbas made it clear that "Palestinians aren't committed to Bush's proposal for monetary compensation to Paletinian refugees." Hizbullah leder, Sheikh hassan Nasrallah, referrred to the Bush idea as allowing Israel to "give crumbs to Palestinians." and gunmen in Gaza wrecked an American school(which has no affiliation with any American agency) and killed a Hamas policeman in the process as they attempted to demonstrate anger against the American president. In Kuwait, Bush once again laid blame for violence in Iraq on the shoulders of Iran. "Iran's role in formenting violence has been exposed," declared the man who originated violence in Iraq.
President Abbas needs much more than what was granted by the benevolent US president who apparently believes Israel should obtain all of its goals even if some damage the ability of Palestinian leaders to work on a compromise. A more reasonable solution would be for West Bank settlement to be evacuated, buildings turned over to some Palestinian refugees as a symbol of reconciliation, and monetary payments be made to those who settle in the new state of Palestine. Such a dramatic proposal might capture the imagination of Palestinians and persuade them to accept much less than they desire in terms of the return of refugees. Israel simply can not absorb so many Palestinian refugees withouot completely altering the nature of the nation of Israel.

I have a Spanish students who is coming to do a course , On a one-to-one basis, for one week. He has insisted on six hours a day which personally I think is too much as he will be on overload. However, he is preparing for the FCE and he wants to practice writing and grammar in particular.
Also wants to prepare for interviews in English.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how I can make lessons more informative and interesting. Six hours a day is a lot to cover and I am wondering how I can hold his interest.
Any suggestions??

Suspicious Package Concern Proves to be False Alarm at Loves Park bar
LOVES PARK (WTVO) -- A scare, but that's all.
Life is back to normal at Hope and Anchor Pub, but a sour relationship turned nerve-wracking Tuesday after Tony Juliano, 37, allegedly walked into the bar's basement before being chased out.
"He used to come here frequently with his wife and his kids," says Kreena Robbins, the bar owner for the past four years. "We started to notice that when he did drink he would start having anger issues."
Robbins says it was to the point where they stopped serving him at the bar. After months away from the bar due to a protection order, Juliano returned on Tuesday.
"We immediately called police, and he ran out."
"He resisted, (and) was tazed as a result by one of our officers," said Loves Park Deputy Chief Rodney Scott.
Juliano was charged with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest. His home was being searched late Tuesday night by the Loves Park K-9 Unit.
After reviewing survellance video, Juliano brought in a bag to the bar, but left without it. That prompted police to take exceptional caution. The Winnebago County Bomb Squad was brought in and 2nd Street was closed in the heart of rush hour for more than five hours.
Loves Park was at a standstill
"The businesses along the way here, they're aware of what's going on," said Loves Park Chief of Police Jim Puckett. "A couple of the houses near this house of interest they're pretty much cleared."
Puckett said there were a handful of evacuations in the area, but nothing more. In the end, it proved to be a false alarm.
"Nothing was found, no package was ID'd," Scott said.
The all clear came just after 7pm and it was back to work at the bar.
"This was kind of an exciting day, but everyday is exciting at the pub," said Robbins.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.The animal featured on the cover of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, Third Edition, is a polar bear (Ursus maritimus). Polar bears live primarily on the icy shores of Greenland and northern North America and Asia. They are very strong swimmers and rarely venture far from the water. The largest land carnivore, male polar bears weigh from 770 to 1,400 pounds. Female polar bears are much smaller, weighing 330 to 550 pounds. The preferred meal of polar bears is ringed seals and bearded seals. When seals are unavailable, the bears will eat fish, reindeer, birds, berries, and trash. Polar bears are, of course, well adapted to living in the Arctic Circle. Their black skin is covered in thick, water-repellent, white fur. Adult polar bears are protected from the cold by a layer of blubber that is more than four inches thick. They are so well insulated, in fact, that overheating can be a problem. For this reason they move slowly on land, taking frequent breaks. Their large feet spread out their substantial weight, allowing them to walk on thin ice surfaces that animals weighing far less would break through. Because food is available year-round, most polar bears don't hibernate. Pregnant females are the exception, and the tiny one to one and a half pound cubs are born during the hibernation period.Polar bears have no natural enemies. Their greatest threat comes from hunting, but in the past 15 years, most governments have placed strict limits on hunting polar bears. Their population has more than doubled in that time and is now estimated to be between 21,000 and 28,000. They are not considered to be endangered. They are extremely aggressive and dangerous animals. While many bears actively avoid human contact, polar bears tend to view humans as prey. In encounters between humans and polar bears, the bear almost always wins. The cover image is from a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive.The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the headingfont is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans MonoCondensed.

Comments about oreilly Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, 3rd Edition:
An overall good book. However, it is very irritating that the authors constantly needs to present what is not the correct way, wh ois not an informationarchitec, etc. Even making figures in the book of bad practices seems like a waste of the readers time. I would have liked a focus on how to do things and figures that actually explained good practices, instead of bad.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Third Edition has made a good book into a great book
By Esmeraldah
from Undisclosed
I was familiar with the first edition of this book, and found it useful (mostly for the explanations of concepts), but not particularly compelling. This edition goes way beyond the first one. Not only does it explain concepts, but it gives extremely helpful suggestions for conducting effective research, getting quality information from customers, and turning that information into valuable deliverables. Theory is fine, but practical advice from acknowledged experts is gold. Additionally, when hassled by those who want to "just build the darn site" without planning, I now have a set of best practices to point to. O'Reilly books are well-respected by techies, and thus this book has the power to help tame the cowboy coder. Not completely, of course, but every little bit helps. I am very pleased with this book.

A Classic That Covers It All
By C Masotti, Sacramento STC
from Sacramento
In "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web," Peter Morville and Louis Rosenfeld set out both to demonstrate the need for Information Architects, and to illustrate to believers what good successful information architecture entails. They succeed at both.Rosenfeld, a founder of the Information Architecture Institute and the User Experience Network, and Morville, president of Semantic Studios, are well-established experts in their field. With this 3rd edition of their very popular 'polar bear book,' they address the issues related to information structuring in an era of collaborative sites (e.g., wikis) and varying devices and platforms.The need for logical, useful information structure is real. As Jakob Nielsen writes in the book's Foreward, critics say users don't care about information architecture. They just want to perform their chosen tasks and get out. But, just as we pass without thought through a dozen green lights and complain when the 13th is red, users are only noticably affected by faulty architecture. Good architecture is rendered invisible by its very success.Morville and Rosenfeld cover a lot of ground here, suggesting improvements not only in the behind-the-scenes organization of information, but in actual interface design as well. For example, in Chapter 8, Search Systems, they discuss the anatomy of a search system, what to make searchable, and how to present the results.In Navigation Systems (chapter 7), the authors discuss the unique purpose of each of several types of supplemental navigation systems, and point to the recent developments in social navigation systems (e.g., Amazon's 'Customers who bought this book also bought,' Epinions' recommendation engine, and Flickr's tag clouds) as a positive turn for visualization attempts, where tools such as sitemaps have fallen short.This book (in its first and second editions) didn't become a classic without reason. With extensive treatment of everything from classifying data, to content mapping, to building an IA team, the authors have built a lasting reference for novices and sophisticates alike. Here is a guide to consult repeatedly as you come across specific problems that the book addresses.In Making the Case for Information Architecture (chapter 17), technical communicators will hear a familiar message from the authors to fellow information architects: You must sell the value of what you do. Although information architects face a slightly different strain of the ROI issue. Information architecture is unknown to most people, and Rosenfeld and Morville present their brethren with a basket of pro-IA arguments and a Value Checklist (one of which is "reduces reliance upon documentation").In the end, the authors achieve their dual objectives of teaching good information architecture practices, and helping the architects illustrate their worth to the unconvinced.
Eye opening
By ueberhund
This book really opened my eyes, as I haven't really thought about Information Architecture as a discipline, which is probably a natural thing for me, as I am a programmer. What I found intriguing about this book is the "take a step back" approach by the authors to analyze a business's overall strategy for user experience. This forces the product owner to ask: how should users find things on this site? What kind of things would I want to find as a user? How can the site's navigation be improved to promote easier searching? The answers to these types of questions and help your Information Architect begin to formulate on overall architecture strategy.After a good introduction to what IA is, the authors take the reader through the basic principles of this discipline. In this section, the authors discuss organization and labeling of systems, navigation, and searching. In the third section of the book, the authors go into the practice of actually implementing the principles in the previous section. Finally, the authors examine case studies from two different sites, where they examine how IA fit into the overall goal of the application.I felt this book gave me a basic understanding of what Information Architecture is, and what types of things to look out for in developing an IA strategy. I would recommend this book if you have large amounts of data you want web users to have access to.

Information for web design!
By Frank Stepanski
What is information architecture? Actually that is a question that I never really knew until I came across this book. Information architecture (as defined by the author) is the structural design of shared information environments. It is the combination of organization, labeling, search and navigation systems within web sites and intranets. IT is also the art and science of shaping information products and experiences to support usability and findability. Does that definition make it any clearer? Maybe a little, but basically it means how to properly design the architecture of medium to large websites (kind of). Unless you're a senior developer of a large company that has a large website, or are in the process of doing so, you probably never had the first hand experience of how to set the foundation of properly displaying large amounts of data to customers. The beginning of the book the author explains the importance of Information Architects and how one can gain the experience to be one since there is really no degree or certification at this point in time. The author explains the backgrounds one may need to have to gain the necessary knowledge: journalism, library science, product management, technical writing, etc. To be an "AI", does not mean you have a computer background, it means that you have an understanding of how to use information to convey the meaning they are trying to get across to the customer. Indexing data, organizing data, structuring data are some of the tasks that are needed. It seems to me that it is one of the "unknown solders" disciplines in web development, but it is necessary for a successful site design. The book also discusses the niches of AI that are popping up recently such as: Metadata Specialist Content Manager Director, User Experience Search Schema Content Editor The first part of the book focuses on the anatomy of information architecture. The author goes through many web page examples of showing how to visual information architecture. Showing each sites home page and going through categories such as navigation systems, search systems and labeling systems shows you how important small bits of information can convey a particular question to the user. The questions could be: How do I get around the site? What's important and unique about this organization? What's available on this site? How can I contact a human? What's there address? Later in the book the author describes different browser aids, search aids, content and tasks and invisible components that an AI can use to help the user get the information they need. Examples would be: Browser aids: Sitemaps, site guides, site wizards, contextual navigation systems, local navigation Search aids: Search interface, query language, query builders, search zones, search results Content and tasks: Headings, embedded links, lists, sequential aids, identifiers "Invisible" components: Retrieval algorithms, categorizing data, specific vocabularies All of these are discussed throughout the book in an easy-to-read manner so that when you design or re-design a site you can keep these in mind if you can't afford to hire an AI yourself. A really interesting book that makes you re-think the design of your site!

podius,Sheep? No. But llama & alpaca, yes. How thick did you make it?
Like I said befor and will say again I keep my sbb open and my bees do well its moisture that kills in the winter not the cold.
um I leave my SBB open my bees are flying all is good so please tell me what I did wrong I know I get way more rain then you do in boring Oregon, my bees do very well.
if you leave your screened boards open in our winters, the cold will kill them. i take it you have not looked at to many "wild" hives? the are in a confined space and have one very small opening. they do not provide themselves ventilation. there is also nothing magic about them. if they choose a bad spot, they will die.
I have never had any moisture problems in any of my hives.
Quote from: Wynoochee_newbee_guy on January 23, 2010, 01:41:54 AMum I leave my SBB open my bees are flying all is good so please tell me what I did wrong I know I get way more rain then you do in boring Oregon, my bees do very well.you have a system that works for you-I read how you do your set up and I think the bails of straw is what is keeping your chill factor down -do you have any colonies set up without the wind break :) I have done the srtaw bails and was glad i had them -but when i moved to a better location i was glad to get rid of them-any way you have engineered your system for your needs -one thing for sure they need every advantage they can get in the blowing rain- ;) RDY-B
.In my country many use a mesh floor open during winter, and they bees are alive in spring.But it makes not worse the solid bottom. a mesh bottom come into use with Danish polyhives 20 years ago. As far as I know, no one used such before that. Others say it varroa bottom.If you have a mesh floor, don't keep then upper ventilation.If you have solid bottom, keep then finger size solid bottom.If you want to save winter food and to get faster spring build up, keep instulated brood boxes.Some condensation makes no harm to bees. a dead hive doe not make you a bad beekeeper. What ever domestic animal you keep, sometimes some animal will die and it was not your fault. It just happens..

Since my first exposure to biotechnology working under Dr. Lee Lynd at
Dartmouth College, I have been enthralled with pursuing a scientific
career in research. After entering St. Lawrence, I quickly sought out
Dr. Estevez as both my academic advisor and supervisor as a research
assistant in her lab. The personal interactions with Dr. Estevez, her
students and faculty solidified my intent to pursue a PhD in the
biological sciences. Dr. Estevez encouraged me to apply to the NSF-NIH
Bioinformatics & Biotechnology Summer Institute, which I participated
in during my first-year and sophomore summers. After taking
Introduction to Neuroscience, I quickly declared myself as a
Neuroscience major and conducted a semester of supervised research.
Apart from courses, I tutor for many introductory and advanced courses
and am Treasurer of the Neuroscience Journal Club. I am also a member
of the Tri-Beta and Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Societies. Apart from my
heavy involvement in the sciences, I am an avid singer - a member of
both the Laurentian Singers and Singing Saints.
This fall, I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Demark. Apart from gaining
novel insights and perspectives on global events such as COP-15, I
toured Scotland, Sweden and Germany with a group of my friends.
I am currently finishing my own independent research project where I
studied the effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles on survival rates
and life span of Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes which will be
presented at the 37th Northeast Regional Meeting of the American
Chemical Society in June. As a University Fellow this summer, I will
conduct additional research involving transient receptor potential
canonical (TRPC) calcium ion channels.

Hi All,
First time poster, long time studier of TEFL and CELTA (at present). I'm on week 3 of my CELTA and I just got assignment 2 back. They said there is something wrong with a few anal things. This sentence was marked wrong;
I live in a metropolitan.
Is this how it should or can be written:
I live in a metropolitan city.
Oh yes, one more thing. My tutor underlined the memorise them in this sentence so I presume there is something wrong with this in what i've said or how i've written it:
The best way for learners to learn the irregular verbs and their past forms is to memorise them and this activity will give them practice in this way.
There are no rules for irregular verbs so am I right in saying that practice and memorising is the only way to learn them yeah?
Any help very much appreciated!!

I decided to buy the Meprolight night sights.
I've learned a lot since I started trying to solve this problem about adding night sights to my 92F.
I've learned that Meprolight Tru-Dot Tritium Night Sights are made in Israel . They supply big Military and Police contracts all over the world.
Their sole distributor in USA is Kimber and if you buy a Kimber with night sights on it - they are Meprolight sights.
I called around to several gunsmiths in the Dallas area and visited one that was doing a 92F night sight job right now.
The installation looked great and the Meprolight sights looked larger and brighter to me (not scientific, took my carry gun w/ Trijicon & the worked on 92 F into a closet )
So I wanted to share this with everyone so they can make a informed decision and buy what they want.

After over a month off, the
Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams returned to
dual action at Gannon University on Saturday morning at the Carneval
Athletic Pavilion. In men's action, the Golden Griffins rallied to
defeat the Knights, 111-94, while the women dropped a 127-78 decision to
No. 19 Gannon. Diving was not contested in the dual due to facility
On the men's side, the Golden Griffins defeated the Knights for the third straight dual with the Canisius women falling for the third consecutive time to Gannon.
"As a team, we showed a lot of compete," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. "Although we started slow to begin the day, we were able to build on each race. This showed determination and resolve from each squad."
In the men's dual, Gannon jumped out to an early 49-25 lead over the Golden Griffins through the first four races. The Knights captured first-place finishes in the opening four men's events, including the 400-yard medley relay. The momentum would swing the way of the Griffs after sophomore Sam Hansen's first-place finish in the 400-yard IM (4:18.01).
Senior Shawn Parkhurst would take the next event in the 100-yard butterfly (51.91) to keep the Griffs' comeback rolling with senior Matt Moessinger placing third (53.64). The dual marked Moessinger's return to the lineup since last season's MAAC Championship.
En route to the rally, sophomore Nick Sereday captured first place in the 100-yard freestyle (48.89).
Parkhurst's first-place finish with a season-best performance in the 100-yard backstroke (53.97) gave the Griffs their first lead of the day, 76-74. In the event, sophomore Garrett Graesser placed third (56.67) and Tyler Evans took fourth (57.10). The dual was Graesser's career debut as a Griff.
With a career-best in the 500-yard freestyle, freshman Spencer Bray placed first (4:45.63) with Hansen following in second (4:54.57).
Seniors Tyler Carver and Mike Disco helped secure the Griffs' lead heading into the final relay with first- (59.96) and third-place (1:02.56) finishes in the 100-yard breaststroke, respectively.
Despite Gannon's first-place performance in the 800-yard freestyle relay (7:08.55), the Griffs placed second (7:08.67) and third (7:30.79) to seal the victory over the Knights.
"We found ourselves behind early but showed tremendous character and commitment to racing," said coach Vanderzell. "In the end, we were able to battle back for the win."
On the women's side, the Golden Griffins faced a nationally-ranked Gannon squad. The Knights entered the weekend ranked 19th in the recent College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division II Swimming and Diving national rankings. In the dual, the Knights relied on five individual titles and a sweep in the 400-yard medley and 800-yard freestyle relays en route to the victory.
After four first-place
performances for the Knights, the Golden Griffins captured their first
top-finish of the day in the 400-yard IM with freshman Clare Battaglia placing first (4:44.88). The freshman would also place second (1:01.05) in the 100-yard backstroke.
In both the 100-yard butterfly and 500-yard freestyle events, the Griffs swept the first two spots. Freshman Alicia Wheeler and junior Anna Schena combined to take first (1:01.67) and second (1:01.93) in the 100-yard butterfly, respectively. In addition, sophomore Marissa Oakey and Schena scored first- (5:22.27) and second-place (5:24.28) finishes in the 500-yard freestyle.
Competing in the 1650-freestyle for the first time this season, Oakey placed second (18:10.44) followed by Schena in third (18:43.18).
"Despite the score, the women battled hard and showed tremendous improvement in each of the races," said coach Vanderzell.
The Blue and Gold return to
action on the road on Jan. 19 against MAAC rival Niagara in a Battle of
the Bridge competition. The dual will begin at noon.

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
'Happy Birthday' – Stevie Wonder (1981)
The campaign to have Martin Luther King Jr's birthday declared a national public holiday began in 1968, soon after the civil rights leader's assassination. Following the defeat in congress of a bill to have the day officially observed, the King Centre turned to Stevie Wonder for help.
Wonder devised 1980's insanely catchy, frequently misunderstood 'Happy Birthday' to inveigle a renewed campaign into the public consciousness, and the following year hosted the Rally For Peace Press Conference to inspire support for a petition in favour of the measure. This ultimately attracted six million signatures, and still remains the largest petition for a single issue in the history of the country. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983.

While I don't have the Field model, I do have the 5.5 Pro Target which is basically the same thing with a different front sight.I'm looking for a accurate handgun for hunting squirrel and wondered what some of you thought about this modle. some questions are (1) ease of takedown to clean (2) reliability (3) accuracy (4) overall impression. I want to make sure I make a good choice since I will be paying more for this gun than I just paid for my GP100 for deer season. Thanks for any info anyone can provide on this firearm.
Stock Photo from Browning .com - Browning Buckmark 5.5 Field
My Browning Buckmark 5.5 Pro Target
(1) Ease of take-down to clean: How clean are we talking and how do you like to clean? In order to clean from the chamber toward the muzzle, you need to take off the scope rail, when I do a deep clean I end up removing the barrel. It's not hard to do, but as the screws get loose your slide will lift and fit very loosely as it's held down by the rail and will cause jams. The fix to prevent this is Loctite, but who wants to redo that step every time you shoot/clean the gun? If you're happy cleaning from the muzzle to the chamber with a bore brush, it's not bad, some people don't like to do that as they are concerned with damaging the crown of the bore. If you scope the gun, you risk having to re-zero after removing the rail. In terms of disassembly / reassembly, I'll stick with the Buckmark instead of the Ruger MKIII. I generally just use a bore snake and Gun Scrubber for basic cleaning as mine is my bullseye gun and I don't want to damage the crown, nor re=zero the gun/scope after cleaning.
(2) Reliability: I've not had a problem with the Buckmark that I didn't cause. It's not too ammo sensitive and likes CCI standard velocity and high velocity as well as Remington Cyclone and Viper ammunition. Be careful with that brass deflector, if you cant the gun to the left (I'm left eye dominant) it can bounce brass right back into the chamber area and cause jams.
(3) Accuracy: At 50' from a rest I'll stack them in the X ring on a NRA B3 target, one handed I shoot pretty well with the thing using a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot.
(4) Overall impression: Overall I'm very happy, I'm holding my own against a lot of guys shooting "enhanced" target guns with box-stock Browning that I bought used at a Gander Mountain with an optic I got of eBay. The newer models are a little nicer than mine, the slide has been redesigned to make for easier grasping and the recoil spring assembly has been improved. I plan on changing my slide and spring assembly after the bullseye league ends this spring. I plan on buying another Buckmark for next years league, if I like it better my current gun will be my back up. I've shot Rugers, Walthers, and Berettas and I'll stick with my Buckmark.

Seagate is providing a big storage assist to one of Major League Soccer's newest clubs. The Vancouver Whitecaps FC kicked off their inaugural Major League Soccer season in March, 2011. As one of the league's two new expansion teams (the Portland Timbers are the other), the Whitecaps rely on their website as a key part of their marketing efforts to connect with fans.
The Whitecaps use several Seagate GoFlex external hard drives to store, share and protect video footage for the team's website. Zachary Ratcliffe, the team's videographer, says the drives' ample capacity gives him that much more creative freedom. When inspiration strikes, Ratcliffe grabs his camera and captures as much footage as he needs to tell a story.
"I shoot a lot of HD video–I probably overshoot," he admits. "I also save a lot of those files for different uses and formats. Seagate's GoFlex drives free me from worrying about running out of storage space."
Ratcliffe shoots, edits and uploads at least one new video each day to the team's website.
"Seagate has definitely made our jobs easier," says Andrew Chobaniuk, webmaster and multimedia specialist with the Whitecaps. "With Seagate hard drives, we have plenty of room to store all the raw video we shoot. The drives we used in the past were more suited for documents or pictures—not HD video, which takes up a lot of space. I was struggling to find an easy, reliable way to store these big files, and now we have it."
The team uses two 3TB GoFlex Desk drives, along with a 2TB model, for storing what Chobaniuk calls "a whole slew" of video. Those files include training reports, post-game interviews with players and coaches, highlight clips and features on the team's community outreach activities. The Whitecaps′ web team also compiles loads of video for the reserve squad and the Whitecaps women's team.
Along with leading capacity, the entire GoFlex storage family offers a unique design in which the drive's interface can be swapped out for faster transfer speeds. Rather than using a standard USB 2.0 interface, for example, the Whitecaps can switch out to a speedier USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 connection.
"That's a nice benefit," says Chobaniuk. "I can work with HD files while they′re on the drive, and I don't notice any delay."
Another nice benefit of the Seagate GoFlex line is how the drives work interchangeably between PCs and Macs; files can be accessed and saved on the same drive without any reformatting hassles. Chobaniuk, who uses a PC, can share the same drive as Ratcliffe, who uses an Apple MacBook.
It's not just about ample storage space and interoperability for the Whitecaps, however. The web team also needs convenience and portability, which is why they also utilize two 500GB GoFlex ultra-portable drives . They use the smaller drives for sharing content with colleagues in the office or at the team′s stadium, Empire Field
"Those smaller drives are great for passing large files around, whether it's right at our desks or during a game at Empire Field," explains Chobaniuk. "We have a freelance videographer who helps out, for example. He dumps everything he′s shot for us that day onto a GoFlex ultra–portable drive. We then give that drive to someone on our staff, they attach it to their laptops, and up come the video files—fast and easy."
Speed and clutch performance are key not only for the team's storage solutions, but also for its online marketing activities. The team's website has received approximately 1.4 million visits since its launch in November.
"We rely on our website as one of our most nimble and controllable brand assets," says Kim Jackman, the club's director of marketing. "It's the most powerful tool we have to communicate with our loyal fans, educate and engage new fans and reach out to the uninitiated to inspire them to try out a Whitecaps FC match. Without an active online presence, I can't imagine how we would create the same kind of community and atmosphere as we have today."

HP seems to be on a tear, bouncing from litigation with one of its historically strongest partners to multiple CEOs in the last few years, continued layoffs, and a recent massive write-down of its EDS purchase. And, as we learned last week, the circus has not left town. The latest "oops" is an $8.8 billion write-down for its purchase of Autonomy, under the brief and ill-fated leadership of Léo Apotheker, combined with allegations of serious fraud on the part of Autonomy during the acquisition process.
The eventual outcome of this latest fiasco will be fun to watch, with many interesting sideshows along the way, including:

The 3 Series coupe and convertible have had a little surgery done and been caught post-op. The actual changes aren't monumental, but up front appear to have quite an effect on the looks. We'll wait to see the uncovered version without the tape over the headlights before final judgments are issued, but from the three-quarter view the increased sweep, the changes to the kidney grille, and the drawn headlights makes the front look a little — forgive us for saying — vintage Grand Am.
In back the car gets revised taillights and a bumper massage. Inside expect slightly upgraded ergonomics and iDrive. The sedan and touring are rumored to get this look as well, and should appear next year.

What is Cosamin DS ?
Cosamin DS is the No.1 orthopedic surgeon and rheumatologist recommended brand of chondroitin sulfate/glucosamine. As a joint health supplement, Cosamin DS helps reduce joint pain and stiffness by using ingredients that are safe, effective, and easily absorbed. Cosamin DS is superior to all other brands and has been proven effective in published clinical studies.
How Cosamin DS works.
The two main ingredients in Cosamin DS, TRH122 chondroitin sulfate and FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, stimulate the production of cartilage. In younger, healthier individuals cartilage cells would normally accomplish this task. However, as one ages, cartilage cells die off and are not replaced. This starts a cycle of destruction in the cartilage. There are also enzymes present that degrade cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride stimulates cartilage production while chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate has been shown in clinical trials to slow the progression of cartilage deterioration as well as reduce joint pain.
Please Read Item Label and Packaging for Recent Product Information.
One bottle can last up to 2 months when taking 1 capsule on a long-term basis.

A bright, high-toned medium weight red wine. Fruit forward on the palate with dark berry fruits - black berries, blueberries, cherries and a pepper spice note with a touch of tannin on the finish.
As the varietals come from different parcels all around the Eastern and Central Roussillon, they are always vinified separately, and then blended before bottling. The whites never pass through malolactic and the property always searches for freshness and expressive aromas in the blends. The reds can often show off a mineral component as Jean-Marc does not favor heavy extraction. Yields are amazingly low for wines at this price level. The wines are bottled unfiltered.

text: Orlando is a tough defensive matchup. It is a game like this where a seasoned AJ would be HUGE. They are starting Lewis at the 4 and TurkeyGlue at the 3. So if you put Tay on Lewis that means Sheed and/or Dyess has to try and Check Hedo- Not Good. A game like this it important that we control the pace and punish Lewis physically on the blocks.

Re: racing rules question narrow channel
The best strategy would have been to duck if you couldn't cross. that would hav put him at the disadvantage at the next cross.
But, if you tacked & got down to close hauled _course_ while the other boat was clear astern, (providing, of course that you allowed him the opportunity to keep clear - e.g. your track was to leeward of his, not right on his bow) then you had the right to luff him up (again, allowing him the opportunity to keep clear)
If you hail for room to tack, the other boat has 2 options; tack immediately or respond "You Tack!" & give you room. Failing to do either is a foul and warrants DSQ.
It has nothing to do with your previous tack into a lee-bow or clear-ahead position. the protest is about rules, not good or bad strategy. You had every right to tack in mid-channel as long as he could keep clear and you don't foul him before getting down to close-hauled.
However if you tacked and _immediately had to hail for room to tack, well, that _is_ questionable and risky. However, I know of no rule that says how long you have to be on that tack to qualify for room to tack.
Assuming he was windward or astern, His putting hands on your boat was a subsequent foul and also warrants DSQ - or taking turns.
Re: racing rules question narrow channel
The jury did nothing. Blue wasn't disqualified and I never went back. It was the last race I sailed with them.
Re: racing rules question narrow channel
This rules discussion is intriguing for its lack of reference to any actual rules. What rule requires a boat to duck another, instead of tacking below them? This is apparently the rule that the "committee" is using to penalize Red, the Original Poster, advising him that he should not have tacked below Blue, but should have ducked him mid-channel. When Blue reaches out to leeward and pushes Red into the reeds, (even while Red is calling for obstruction room) isn't that a breech of rule 11? No one seems to be following (or mentioning) the actual rules here very much.
Based on the original post, it would appear that Red is entitled to obstruction room under rule 19.2.b: Red, to leeward of Blue, was almost touching the reeds. (Please note these are reeds - indicating unnavigable areas and thus an obstruction, not weeds like seaweed that grow in deep water which would be an annoyance, but not necessarily an obstruction. Some posters appear to be confused about this.) Did Blue not have steerage, and was therefore unable to provide room? In any case, rule 20 comes into play. Rule 20 says you have to hail for room, which Red did. Red then has to give Blue time to respond. (rule 20.1(b)). It seems Red did give Blue time to respond. Blue's response seems to have been to push Red into the obstruction. As mentioned above, this is a breech of rule 11. After being hailed, rule 20.1(b) requires Blue to either tack herself as soon as possible (to get out of the way) or to tell Red to tack and then stay out of Red's way. After Blue responds, Red has to tack as soon as possible (rule 20.1(c). If Blue doesn't respond quickly enough, rule 20.2 exonerates Red if she "breaks a rule of section A, or rule 15 or 16." This means that Red, coming up to an obstruction, can essentially hail for room and after waiting (a reasonable period, eh?) for a response, tack to avoid the obstruction, regardless of where Blue happens to be.
Red is entitled to avoid the obstruction, and can tack. If she is "tacking too close" - that is a Right of Way rule (rules 10, 11, 12, & 13) from Section A, and Red is exonerated; there is no penalty on Red. Rule 15 does not apply here, since Red was tacking onto Port. Rule 20.2 says that Red does not have to worry about giving Blue room to keep clear (rule 16) either; Red is exonerated because of her need to tack due to the obstruction. If Red HITS Blue when tacking to avoid the obstruction, rule 14 states that Red SHALL NOT be penalized unless there is contact that causes damage or injury. The light conditions suggest no damage, and the only injury appears to have been to Blue's pride.
All this makes me think that the rules may have changed a good deal since Blue sat on an actual Protest Committee. What was the actual outcome of the protest? The posts state that Red "shouldn't have tacked" mid-channel. Was he scored DSQ? Was the protest disallowed? Did the gentlemen sweep it under the rug with tacit nods & wags? What appears to be happening does not seem to be paying any attention to the rules. Read rules 2 and 69. I know of sailors who have been tossed from a series for swearing at fellow competitors. Ben Ainslie is a good example of what should happen when you lay hands on another's boat.

I wonder: Might the other skipper's behavior improve if you had a GoPro or similar video camera on your boat?
I do not understand the title "referee" although ISAF does have the very similar title of "International Umpire" along with international race officers, judges, and measurers. Holland has only one international umpire, but does have several international race officers and more than a dozen judges. National authorities such as the watersportverbond.nl can also appoint national, regional, or local race officials; I don't know how this is organized in Holland. Jos Spijkerman's rrsstudy blog at blogspot.com might be a good place to find out what is the actual status is of the person on the other boat.

Which returns me to my original reaction. He was 1. rude and 2. wrong.
Re: racing rules question narrow channel
Thats why I aborted the idea of luffing up, I give him the benefit of the doubt. I decided just concentrate on getting speed up, ready for a tack at the reeds. What bugs me the most is that if he'd have been in my position and I'd been in his position, I would've expected him to tack under, and like him I would not have protested. Yet unlike him I would've certainly have given room. And rightly so.
He didn't just want the lead, he wanted to dominate. The arrogance bugs me as well as the unsportsman-like behaviour.

My understanding could easily be dated as I race with pretty laid-back people and I haven't been in a protest room for a long time.
Re: racing rules question narrow channel
luffing up is something the blue bost skipper has never done. He always comes out with the infamous excuse that he wasnt given enough time to luff up. as the rules dont stipulate a time he always gets the benefot of the doubt due to his knowedge of the rules.
I understand the rules such that the 2 boat lengths between boats during luffing up is irrelevant when sailing upwind. 2 boat lengths is only relevent when sailing correcct course downwind. but anyway when I started the tack I was clear ahead and he didnt acquire overlap by the time my boom was on starboard tack, which means I was clear ahead and had luffing rights. Upwind the correct course is sailing as close to the wind as you like as possible. However it's another vague gentlemanly aspect to the rule that the windward boat has enough time to luff up. A gentlemen has patience and takes his time obviously and that is the explanation the blue boat skipper uses when saying he doesnt have time to luff up.

Wednesday, June 13
By Nick Ames in Kharkiv
It's safe to say that Kharkiv hasn't seen anything quite like it.
If the influx of Dutch fans was enough to contend with at the end of last week, things have ratcheted up a notch now the Germans are also in town - and out in considerable force.
At 9.45pm local time, the two sets of fans will converge upon the Metalist Stadium – where you'd be very surprised to see the same number of empty seats evident at the Netherlands v Denmark game – to savour the stand-out tie of the group stage.
It's become a decisive day for Robin van Persie's Dutch. If Denmark overcome Portugal in the day's opening game, then defeat for the Oranje will send them spinning out of Euro 2012 – with a draw leaving their hopes hanging by a thread. Realistically, a win is what they need to assume any kind of control over their own destiny.
The stakes could barely be higher for a clash between old adversaries, and Bert van Marwijk's side will need to be more clinical than against the Danes, when they spurned a host of chances after periods of excellent build-up play.
Despite missing several opportunities of his own in that game, Van Persie should keep his place for the Dutch tonight – his understanding with Arjen Robben, Ibrahim Afellay and Saturday's outstanding performer, Wesley Sneijder, is too important to be jettisoned.
He's unlikely to meet Arsenal team-mate Per Mertesacker en route to goal, though – the German centre-back watched his side's opening 1-0 win over Portugal from the bench, and coach Joachim Low is unlikely to make a defensive change at this stage.
Arsenal eyes will fall upon Lukas Podolski, too. The new arrival had a quiet match against the Portuguese in Lviv, but may find more space to attack a Dutch defence that looked alarmingly brittle during those rare Danish incursions.
It's the first match of the tournament for which a line between success and failure lies firmly in the sand and it could be the most intense occasion yet in a competition that has bubbled along nicely so far.
For this reporter, yesterday was the first punctuation mark in what has been a hectic six days. An afternoon return by train from Donetsk to Kharkiv meant a day without pre-match press conferences or other UEFA events, and a chance to ease off.
Of the train's passengers, I seemed pretty much alone in doing so – its restaurant car was a heady, raucous carnival of German fans mixing with new Russian friends who were heading onwards to Moscow. Accounts suggested that the local chilli vodka made varying kinds of impact among those who will be rooting for Podolski and company tonight.
Consequently, I missed the Czech Republic's victory over Greece but arrived in time to see Poland deservedly hold the Russians. Those results have teed up what should be another febrile occasion – a winner-takes-all clash between the Poles and the Czechs on Saturday. If Wojciech Szczesny is recalled after suspension and Tomas Rosicky shrugs off the Achilles injury that forced his withdrawal, we could see another climactic all-Arsenal tussle.
The sweltering early summer in Ukraine shows little sign of abating, with temperatures likely to reach 33 degrees today. It's likely that the Metalist Stadium will generate heat of its own in a few hours' time - it's set up for a fabulous evening and a shoot-out between two Arsenal strikers.

Michael A King
Office Phone: (540) 432-4261
Main Campus, Harrisonburg
Office Location: SB 132
Seminary and Graduate Dean
Graduate Dean
Seminary Dean
"As EMS dean I'm highlighting such themes as 'treasures of not being sure,' 'transforming the shadows,' and 'using power for the less powerful.' I hope to contribute to an EMS learning community prepared to ask a.) difficult questions not to undermine but to deepen the faith with which pastors and theologians trained at EMS engage today's ferment in faith and culture; b.) how amid a fierce love for the church Christians can more honestly name failings and frailties, not to destroy but through the saving grace of Christ to transform; and c.) how those with power, including seminary deans, might use it not to aggrandize the powerful but to uplift the 'the least of these.' I dream of an EMS able to engage the largest questions and faith affirmations in trust that, as my uncle Richard Detweiler used to tell me when addressing my youthful wrestlings, 'Jesus is as big as the universe.'"
Growing up in Cuba and Mexico as son of missionary parents, Michael A. King experienced multiple cultures and faith understandings. He learned to cherish the Anabaptist-Mennonite commitment to faithfully follow Jesus while wondering what alternate convictions another tradition might have shaped in him. Immersion in Christian thought and life at a time his Mennonite community forbade watching TV even as he gulped down secular books and novels made him wonder what was real and true and good amid competing perspectives. He also wrestled with the gap between Christians' talk and walk. As a result, into early adulthood King came to question the existence of God and the validity of Christianity even while craving the divine. Often feeling at the margins, unsure to which culture he fully belonged, bred in him compassion for others marginalized by life circumstances or unjust structures.
Although refined and chastened by life journeying, experience as pastor and publisher, academic training, and turning toward a faith in Christ enlarged by doubts and questions, lessons from King's background continue to nurture his passions at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. There he is articulating such themes as "treasures of not being sure," "transforming the shadows," and "using power for the less powerful."
King writes "Unseen Hands," a column for Mennonite World Review, and blogs at Kingsview & Co. He has long been an editor and publisher, first through Herald Press (Scottdale, PA, 1989-1997) and then more recently as owner and publisher, Cascadia Publishing House LLC (Telford, PA, 1997-). He has been pastor in congregational settings ranging from Germantown Mennonite Church (Philadelphia, PA, 1982-1989), Spring Mount (PA) Mennonite Church (1997-2008), and more.
King is married to Joan Kenerson King, of Olean, NY, a family therapist and an advanced practice nurse who consults nationwide with public behavioral health systems. They are parents of three adult daughters and have three grandchildren.
King received his B.A. from Eastern Mennonite University (1976), M.Div. from Eastern Baptist (now Palmer) Theological Seminary (1982), and Ph.D. in rhetoric and communication from Temple University (1997).
As author and publisher, King addresses theology and culture, including implications of postmodernity and the emerging church movement. King is co-editor of Mutual Treasure: Seeking Better Ways for Christians and Culture to Converse (Cascadia, 2009), editor of Stumbling Toward a Genuine Conversation on Homosexuality (Cascadia, 2007), and co-editor of Anabaptist Preaching: A Conversation Between Pulpit, Pew, and Bible (Cascadia, 2004). He is author of Trackless Wastes and Stars to Steer By: Christian Identity in a Homeless Age (Herald, 1990, which emergent leader Brian McLaren has said began to address emergent issues 10 years before McLaren), Fractured Dance: Gadamer and Mennonite Conversation On Homosexuality, C. Henry Smith series, vol. 3 (Pandora U.S., 2001), many articles in a wide variety of magazines and journals, including Christian Century. He is co-author (with Ron Sider), of Preaching about Life in a Threatening World (Westminster, 1997).

How to stock up for disaster, a check list for weathering a hurricane
From Green Right Now Reports
If you're living in the path of a hurricane, you'll need to take stock of your pantry, emergency kit and storm stockpiles.
It's important to make those last excursions to the grocery store and gas station count. To be truly prepared, you'll need to think beyond "bottled water" and make provisions for holding extra water for bathing, for example. (This would be a good time to put out a rainwater collection barrel.) You'll have to make sure the family pooch has a stockpile of food, your prescriptions are filled and so is the car's gas tank.
Here are check lists for your stay-home stockpile and for your evacuation kit, from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Vital provisions in case you are sheltering in your home.
- Two gallons of water per person per day; prepare for a minimum of three days
- Kitchen matches and large candles
- An additional flashlight (besides the one in your Go Bag)
- Another first aid kit (in addition to the one in your Go Bag)
- Duct tape and thick plastic to cover windows
- Extra pet food
- Extra dry foods such as energy bars, peanut butter and canned goods that don't require heating; don't forget a can opener
- Fill the bathtub and other large, plastic storage containers with water for bathing and to flush the toilet
- Refill prescriptions
- Fill the gas tank of your car in case you need to evacuate at a later date
- Be sure to have a radio and extra batteries on hand to hear updates on your situation
The "Go Bag" mentioned above should be packed and ready to ride with you, should you need to evacuate. Pack items in a lightweight suitcase or backpack, and include:
- Copies of your important documents (insurance cards, house deed, photo IDs, passport, bank information, physician contact information, family contact information) in a waterproof container
- Contact and meeting place information for your household, and a small regional map
- Cash ($50-$100, in small bills)
- An extra set of car and house keys
- Bottled water and non-perishable food such as energy or granola bars
- Cans of pet food and pet dishes
- A flashlight (traditional bulbs have limited lifespans; LED (light emitting diode flashlights last up to 10 times longer than traditional ones)
- Light-weight, waterproof blankets or plastic ponchos
- Matches
- A first aid kit, with a list of the medications each member of your household takes, why they take them, and their dosages. Store extra medication in your Go Bag and to refill it before it expires.
- Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items
- Child care supplies or other special care items as needed
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio
- Whistle to signal for help
- Dust masks, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
- Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
- A wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
- A can opener
- Cell phone with chargers or solar charger
- A complete change of clothing, including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes.

What's worse than a Bigfoot driving a tank? A baby. And why is that? Because there's a chance you can stop a Bigfoot or a tank. A slim chance, sure, but better than the ZERO chance you have of stopping a baby from appearing when it's ready to be born. Gear up now and you won't have to struggle with where to put it later.
So how do you choose between all the strollers?
inkycatz wrote:So how do you choose between all the strollers?
The best way is to go somewhere like Babies R Us and test them out.
That said, we have the Graco FastAction Fold system, and we really like it. The car seat is user-friendly (in my opinion) and has great safety reviews. You do need to read the manual, though.
The stroller itself is great. It isn't too big folded up, but isn't too small unfolded. We found it to be one of the easiest to fold and unfold, and fast to boot. It doesn't have an adjustable push handle, so note that if you're very short or very tall.
Like bloodgain said. YOu should test drive the strollers at Babies R Us.
One quip some parents have with the Graco brand is the height of the handle bars. My husband is about 5'6" and he feels its too low.
If you like more height I say go with the Chico.
I have both the Graco travel system and Baby Jogger's City Mini.
I purchased my City Mini a couple of weeks before the Graco FastAction fold strollers came out. Don't know how compact it folds but the city mini is almost half the size of a folded Graco stroller. Down side its almost twice the price of a Graco and sacrificing half the storage space under the stroller where you place the giant diaper bag in.
I've never seen a folding travel bed before - although I don't have kids, I can picture my friends with young children and how helpful something like that would have been when the little ones were infants. It's something that I'll keep in mind as a potential baby shower present!
However, I agree with the writer: why don't folding travel beds come in ADULT sizes?!?

I have found that it depends on the style of Graco. They seem to have too different heights on their strollers. My husband (6') and I (5'8") went to Babies R Us and test drove them. Some were definately TOO short - while others fit fine.
We have the Graco Ready to Grow, a 2 year old and 1 year old (yes they're close in age lol) fit comfortably in this stroller... the older in the front and the younger facing us in the back.
The cool thing about this stroller is its configuration options.. when the baby gets bigger and toddler gets older, you can remove the baby rear facing seat in the back and the rear converts to a seat for taller children. Check with Babies R Us on their website or Graco's packaging, shows there are around 5 or so options for seating. Its a little bit long but every non-side-by-side stroller is long. Unfortunately the push handle is not adjustable but suits the wife and I just fine. We are of average height.
Its also not the lightest of double strollers (there are heavier) but we like that its narrow for trips to the mall or shopping. Also helps that the older doesnt torment the younger if she were sitting right next to her ... some of the plastic pieces are removable for comfort or travel as well. Hope this helps, we love ours
I purchased the chico cortina stroller, along with carseat and base.. I have to say the stroller i absolutely love. Very nice one handed, fast open and close when u have the baby in your arms, not to mention good storage and removable tray so it is easy to clean. I recommend going to u tube and watching a video on it.. Between toys r us and u tube it helped me choose.
Someone gifted us the square version of the activity gym and our 3 month old is actually starting to appreciate it now. $20 really is a good price point on this sort of toy, because babies transition from one stage to the next so quickly. We also have a Graco pack and play with a bassinet and I love it.
I bought the Infantino Twist and Fold Activity Gym the last time it was offered as a side deal. I needed a replacement for the shabby, second-hand gym that we had that didn't fold up and fit so neatly into baby's closet.
I've been very happy with it, and better yet, so has baby. I only have a few minor complaints about it.
First, occasionally one or two of the leg supports will "pop" back into the twisted position. It's annoying, but doesn't appear to be of any danger to baby at all, so it's something I can live with.
Second, the little velcro ties that keep the whole thing neatly twisted up for storage could stand to be about an inch longer. It still works great, but the shortness of the ties makes it more of a two-hand operation...with a baby, it's really nice when things can be done with one hand.
Third, and sadly, my dog also really likes the gym. Unfortunately, he got a hold of the little mirror that comes with it. This is in no way Infantino's fault, but, after contacting the company, I was extremely disappointed to find that there is no way to get a replacement piece.
