LEWISTON, N.Y. – Canisius senior Billy Baron scored a game-high 34 points and fellow senior Chris Perez chipped in 17 points, 10 of which came in the second half, as the Golden Griffins went on the road and defeated long-time rival Niagara by the score of 71-65 in the Gallagher Center. The win ends Canisius' two-game losing skid and improves the Blue and Gold to 17-9 overall and 11-4 in the MAAC. The Purple Eagles have now dropped five straight and fell 6-20 overall and 3-12 in league play.
The win on Friday gives Canisius a sweep of the regular-season series between the two Western New York rivals, the Griffs' first regular-season sweep of Niagara since 1994-95. Canisius has now won three-straight games over the Purple Eagles, the Blue and Gold's first three-game winning streak over Niagara since Feb. 5, 1997 through Dec. 13, 1997.
Baron's 38-point effort in the on Friday marks his sixth 30-point game of the season. He finished the night by going 10-for-16 from the field, 3-for-8 from 3-point land and 11-for-14 from the free-throw line to go with six rebounds and five assists. Perez's 17 points came after he went 6-for-13 from the floor, 0-for-2 from 3-point range and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. He also added two assists and two steals in the win, while spending most of the night guarding Niagara's Antoine Mason, the nation's leading scorer. Mason, who came into the game averaging 26.3 points per game, had 17 points and nine boards in the loss for the Purple Eagles.
"This one is for him," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said of senior Chris Manhertz, who missed his second-straight game with a broken nose. "He's a big part of this program and him being down, he said, 'Coach, you have to go try and bring this one home.' Our guys were really thinking about him and this is a great team victory."
With Manhertz out and starters Jordan Heath and Phil Valenti in early foul trouble, Niagara controlled the glass in the game's first 20 minutes and the Purple Eagles led at the break 37-32. In the second half, Niagara stretched its lead to as many as 11 points at 44-33 with 17:01 left in the game on the power of a made 3-pointer by Mason. Niagara led by nine at 52-43 with 12:30 left on the clock before the Griffs made a push and tied the game at 52-52 thanks to a 9-0 run over the span of 2:34, capped by a deep 3-pointer from Baron at the top of the key. Niagara answered with four-straight points to go up 56-52, but a jumper from Canisius redshirt sophomore Dominique Raney and a 3-pointer from Jordan Heath put the Griffs up 57-56 with 7:44 left to play.
After Heath's trey, Niagara's Marvin Jordan nailed a triple from the corner in front of his team's bench and a jumper from Mason with 6:16 left in regulation time put the host Purple Eagles back up four at 61-57. The game would remain tight for the next five minutes before Perez scored on a driving lay-up with 57 seconds left to give Canisius a 65-63 lead with 57 seconds left. Out of Niagara timeout, Canisius forced Mason to miss a 3-pointer from the top of the key and the Griffs grabbed the rebound. In the game's final 30 seconds, Baron drained six-straight free-throws to seal the victory, as the Griffs outscored Niagara 14-4 in the contest's closing 5:56.
"I thought Perez did a heck of a job defensively on Mason," Jim Baron said. "And when he had the ball, Perez went right at him. We had a number of guys step up tonight. Dominique Raney's jumper was huge for us. And defensively as a team, I thought we really buckled down late and got stops when the game was on the line."
Canisius ended the night shooting 42.4 percent from the floor, 20 percent from 3-point land and 77.3 percent from the free-throw line in the win. Jordan Heath had seven points, six rebounds and four blocks in the win for the Griffs, while Valenti added five points, six rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes. Raney scored six points off the bench for the Griffs as the team ended the night with 12 assists on 25 makes from the field and seven blocked shots.
Niagara had three players score in double-figures in the loss, led by Mason's team-high 17 points. Redshirt senior Marcus Ware was good for 13 points and a game-high 12 boards for Niagara, which shot 37.1 percent from the field, 22.2 percent from 3-point land and 60 percent from the charity stripe.
With the win, Canisius keeps pace with Manhattan and Quinnipiac, as all three schools are tied for second in the MAAC's standings. The Griffs will return to action Sunday, Feb. 16, when the team travels to play at Siena. Game time is set for 2 p.m., and the game will be broadcast live on the Time Warner Cable Sports Channel throughout New York state.Game Notes: This was the 174th all-time meeting between these two schools, with Niagara leading the series 96-78… The Griffs have won back-to-back games in Niagara's Gallagher Center for the first time since Jan. 15, 1994 and Jan. 31, 1995… The win on Friday marks the third time this season Canisius trailed by 11 points in a game and came back to win – with the other occasions coming Nov. 19 against Elon and Dec. 11 at Buffalo… Canisius' 11 MAAC wins this season matches last year's conference victory total… In two career games in the Gallagher Center, Baron averaged 33.5 points per game… Baron's 34 points on the road against Niagara are the most for a Canisius player since former Griff Larry Fogle had 41 points at Niagara Jan. 12, 1974… Baron's five assists in the win gives him five or more assists in a game 14 times this season and 35 times in his career… Jordan Heath's four blocks gives him 59 this season, which ranks fifth in school history for blocked shots in a season… Heath now ranks eighth in school history with his 112 career blocks… The Griffs are 10-4 this season when Perez scores 10-plus points in a game… Raney is averaging 9.6 points per game in the Griffs' last five contests… Jim Baron is now 16-2 all-time against Niagara in his 27-year career as a Division I head coach.

say it aint pink
Just got my lifetime cc licensce and i just picked up a Taurus 738 tcp .380. Got it for $199.99. Haven't got to shoot it yet. Whats some feedback on this handgun?!?! Cant wait to get out and shoot it. I figured for 200 bucks, you couldnt beat it.
haha yeaaaaaah noooo... I just wanted something to carry in my pocket, im not big on holsters. Just something small and thats what i got. Fits great in my pocket, I just wanted some actual feedback on the weapon.
Personally, but not always, I believe you get what you pay for.......would I trust this gun with my life...probably not, just me........
I've seen two reviews on the pistol and it was favorable. They compared it to the Keltec and Ruger. Shoot it and give us a report. I would not trust any CCW until I got 500 trouble free rounds through it.

My friend bought a TCP after he purchased a Walther PK380 mainly to get his wife interested in shooting and for PP. We went to a local indoor range to throw some metal down range. Since the TCP was brand new and never fired we did experience a couple FTE's and FTF's. Don't know if that would improve with more breakin time but my buddy didn't give it time. The first time I fired it it damn near jumped out of my hand. The recoil is pretty strong but that is to be expected in such a small gun. I didn't like it. My hands are bigger than my friend's and because of that I wasn't happy with the size. He decided he didn't like it later as well and sold it at a local gun show for just about what he paid for it. I believe he got $200.00 cash for an initial expendature of $30.00 more. The PK380 is a little larger weapon but is still easily concealed in a pocket. I'm sure there are other guns in the same range as the PK so shop around if you find the TCP a little small and jumpy. My friend also bought a PPS 9mm and is much happier but it is a totally different gun but still slim enough for CC.
Got one a few weeks ago. For my girlfriend to cc and possibly get myself one to carry also when our permit arrives in the mail. We went to a gun show and held a few of the mouse guns we had been looking at. The tcp felt best to both of us, small but able to get a decent grip. We tried the lcp and p3at, neither felt as good. I read reviews and felt comfortable making this gun purchase. Got it for 200 off buds. We took it to the range last weekend. It shot well, good amount of recoil but not nearly anything unbearable or too bad. I did get a houge handall jr for it. Even my girlfriend with small hands and quite your average girly girl didn't have any complaints. It is fairly hard to see the sights to be able to tell if your making a good shot. But soon enough it'll have a crimson trace laser. Might put some fingernail polish on it for now. We both did ok for shooting it the first time, at short distances. Obviously its not a range gun. Your gonna be shooting at close range with this gun. But we both like it. Only prob we had, it isnt loading the first round without some forcing. We just tapped the back of the slide and it jumped in. Might have been the flat nosed ammo we had. Gonna try some diffrent stuff soon. Prob will get better with more use. But other than that, no ftf or fte. Now one thing we did see on a youtube video before we bought it, was the casings come flying back at you. THIS COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE! Almost half or more of the casings come STRAIGHT back. We both took a few shots to the head/face. With our safety gear on wasn't really a big deal, but it def happens. It doesn't really bother me too much either since this gun would be only used in practice with safety gear or in an emergency which the last thing i'll really be worried about is getting hit with hot casings.
Overall, i feel for the value, size, and feel of the gun I really like it. Going to order another one for myself to pocket carry while im at work. I will say I can't believe I purchased a taurus with everything I've read about them online, but I felt almost all the reviews I read/saw online were good with this gun.
I have a very good friend who has the TCP and he freakin loves it. He also pocket carries it and has no complaints. Personally it just too small for me but if it were all I could grab I would rather have that then nothing. My buddy "Pops" is a good some one whose opinio I hold in high regard. I can not recomend nor aargue against the weapon but I can tell you if Pops likes it it can't be all bad. I normally say never buy a gun made in Florida, but in this case I may defer.
Just got back from the range for the first time with my tcp .380. I'm impressed! very good accuaracy and not one FTF or FTE. Put 100 rounds through it, and couldnt ask for a smoother session.
Oh yeah, should be getting my pocket holster in the mail within the next 2 days
Ah yeah, let me rephrase that, im not a waistband holster kinda guy
Not only is it a Taurus, it's a cheap Taurus.
I would never carry any Taurus as a carry gun. Surely, you think your life is worth more than $200.00.
Keep it for plinking and target practice, spend some more money and buy something worthy.
Well, I'm definitly going to carry it. And yeah of course my life is worth more than 200 dollars, its also worth more than 500, and 1000, and 3000, lol. This just looks like a very biased comment against Taurus. Hasn't jammed yet, very accurate, what more do you want?

I'd like to start by saying you all will help me more than I will help you. However, if any of you archery hunt or fly fish, we may be able to swap info. !
I moved to AZ from the Midwest last August and have not hunted anything in over a year. This Fall and Winter I plan on letting loose and having some fun. I have always been inamoured with Waterfowling, however, coming from the Midwest and having such a liberal archery season, I did not find much time to hunt waterfowl as I was always in a treestand somewhere. After moving here and looking at all of the big game and quail opportunities, I am excited, I think. The seasons and where they fall, may allow me to hunt more often and more species out here. Thus, I was really excited to think I may be able to start getting serious about waterfowling. However, from what I have seen, it almost does not seem worth the effort in this state .
If anyone out there can tell me, yes there are birds here and they are worth hunting, my spirits may be lifted a bit (so much so, I may forego Quail this year and try to hunt Ducks)! Anyone with any information on Arizona Waterfowling, please guide me and give me hope. If it helps, I live north of Phoenix and would drive to New Mexico or Nevada or up to Utah. Basically the entire northern part of this state is open to me. Also, I do not have a duck boat, nor a bird dog. However, should I find something worth while, the new Lab would be the next purchase!
Thanks in advance to anyone who may shed some light into this.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team opened up Atlantic 10 conference play with a road series win at La Salle thanks to a 7-5 victory over the Explorers on Sunday afternoon. With the win, Richmond improves its record to 15-10 overall and to 2-1 in conference play. With the loss, La Salle falls to 15-12 on the year and to 3-3 in league action.
Senior Bryan Conway and junior Jacob Mayers led the way offensively for Richmond. Conway had a triple, double, and two RBIs, while Mayers went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs driven in. Redshirt-junior Matt Zink went 4-for-5 with a double, a RBI, and two runs scored while senior Chris Cowell had two hits and a RBI.
Out of the bullpen, sophomore Andrew Blum (4-1) was tremendous, pitching the final six innings to earn the win. Blum did not allow a run, surrendering just four hits while striking out five.
After La Salle took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, the Spiders responded in the top of the third. With one out, Zink blasted a double off the wall in left field. After a walk to sophomore Mike Small, Mayers took the first pitch he saw in to center field, scoring Zink from second with a RBI single.
With the score 3-1, senior Phil Ruzbarsky drew a walk. On the ensuing throw back to the mound, the Explorers' pitcher did not see the throw from his catcher, allowing the ball to hit off his arm. Taking advantage, Small darted home from third on the error, cutting the lead to 3-2.
In the bottom of the fourth, La Salle extended its lead to 5-2, pushing across a pair of runs in the frame.
Trailing by three, Richmond responded with two runs of its own in the top of the fifth. After singles from Zink and Small and an error, runners were on second and third for Mayers. On a 1-0 count, Mayers tallied his third hit of the day, plating Zink with a RBI single to right field. Cowell followed, scoring Small from second on a bloop single to right, cutting the deficit to 5-4.
In the top of the sixth, the Spiders kept scoring, tying the game at 5-5 on a looping single to left field off the bat of Zink. Zink's third hit of the day scored McConnell who tripled to left-center field.
The scoring surge continued in the top of the seventh, with the Spiders taking their first lead of the day. With one out, Cowell doubled to right-center field. Two batters later, runners were on the corners with one out after a failed pickoff attempt and a Ruzbarsky hit-by-pitch. Swinging at the first pitch, Conway cleared the bases with his second double of the day, giving Richmond a 7-5 lead.
With the score still 7-5 in favor of Richmond, the game headed to the bottom of the ninth. Blum was able to record the first two outs of the frame quickly, but La Salle then staged a rally and loaded the bases. Like he did all day, Blum fought right back, inducing a game-ending lineout to secure the win for the Spiders, 7-5.
The Richmond Spiders baseball team will be back in action on Tuesday, April 3 when the Spiders will head to Lexington, Va. to play in-state rival VMI. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Channeled apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) are originally native to South America. These exotic snails have been collected in Georgia. Additional locations in the United States where these snails have been found include California, Florida, North Carolina and Texas. These snails resemble the native Florida apple snail (Pomacea paludosa) but some unique differences in shell attributes and egg appearance allow them to be properly identified.
The shells of P. canaliculata can be near baseball-sized (80 mm or over 3 inches). The large egg masses are laid on vegetation or trees and are bright pink or orange in color. Egg masses can be 2 to 3 inches long and may contain 200-600 eggs.

I've toyed around with making a really accurate hood before and gotten some cool looking early versions. There are a few things I can't decide on...
1. Fabric. The coolest looking one I made is from thick gray satin (wrong side out), but it's not washable. It's good for mannequin use only and would look great under a helmet on display or something, but it's not practical for wearing. About the only option for a wearable one is cotton...but then is it worthwhile to even make it fairly accurate?
2. To attach the outside neck piece, thereby being more pratical, or to have the long sock-type neck shown in Chronicles that merely tucks under the actual outer neck that's sewn onto the jumpsuit. I haven't made my new jumpsuit yet, but it would be more comfortable to have LESS fabric around my neck...yet I could use a soft, breathable fabric for the long sock-type neck thingy and it still might be very comfortable. I'm not sure.
3. I am not totally sure about the exact detailing on the hood. I know the stitching details on side and back, and I think I've got those down. However, The hood is either quilted or made with a complex series of folds, or there are two or more versions. The complex series of folds appears to be in the Chronicles pictures. You can see them sort of stick up, so I know they've GOT to be there. Well, I'm pretty sure. You never know, it could be shadow. In the Special Edition photos, however, it does not look like there are any folds. The material appears to have just been quilted across in straight, horizontal lines.
This second method (just quilting lines) would be much easier and much more able to withstand frequent washings, and also much cooler because there is less fabric used overall. I can see why they would change, if indeed they did change.
4. There is also one final possible difference I noticed between the Special Edition hood and the Chronicles photos. It could just be a stitching accent, however. The Special Edition hood appears to be put together from two halves. The Chronicles photos appear to be put together from three parts. However, from the way the fabric folds run, I am almost sure that this is just stitching details and that it really is two halves, just wit the folds stitched down. The stitching on the Special Edition just has the one that's straight down the sides, while the Chronicles version has an additional line that curves, sort of making an oval on the back of the hood. Oh, and the SE version is a bit too long, so it sticks up on the guy's head. The Chronicles version looks like it's much shorter, and from what I've seen playing around with patterns, it would be.
5. Would an ESB version be made from a dirty whitish-gray?
Anyway, what do we think would make the most accurate hood, and what do we think would make the most wearable? For all I know, the SE style hood started with ESB.
Here's a picture of the SE hood:
I am looking for pics showing the chronicles ones. I don't have them scanned in.

plot hyperbola
HI, i am a beginner. Will u please tell me how to plot
hyperbola,parabola,ellipse and circle in their standard forms
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
x^2/a^2 -- y^2/b^2 ==1 etc.
Also how do you plot a general curve (y versus x), say
x^2 +3 x^2 y^3 +67 x^4 y^2 +34==0
*without solving explicitly for y* ( or x)
Please help


text: Question, please, for those who will indulge me. I see the, 'pole-valutiing action,' terminology used by John Misha Petkevich in his book, Figure Skating: Championship Techniques. Does thus 'placing' the pick in the ice for a toe jump mean pushing it into the ice stiff-legged--literally to pole-vault--or planting it in the ice to pull oneself up by their leg? Thanks a ton, Ol Scratchspin

Hi everyone,
I've been talking about posting photos of my armour for a while and I finally got round to it.
It's 3mm thick aluminium cut and bent in my garage without any specialist tools. I then spayed it with spray cans very cheaply, the only thing left for me to do is shoot the plates with my air rifle and hack at the edges with an axe to create the dents.
Hope you all like it.

The Occupy Wall Street Interview Fox Didn't Want You To See
Blog ››› ››› KAREN FAMIGHETTI
On Friday, a segment on The O'Reilly Factor featured producer Jesse Watters speaking with protesters at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration and concluding that they are the "sludge" of "every single left-wing cause" put into a blender. The segment was clearly intended to cast the protesters in a negative light.
Now, a video has surfaced of another Fox interview with a protester -- but this one is quite different:
The video shows Fox correspondent Griff Jenkins interviewing Jesse LaGreca at the protest. LaGreca is member of the Occupy Wall Street movement and in the video speaks articulately about various issues including the media's focus on minor issues such as Obama's birth certificate rather than the important issues facing the country, the difficult conditions faced by the middle class, and Fox News' role in putting the spotlight on Glenn Beck and his comment that Obama is a "racist."
The New York Observer reports that the interview was filmed on September 28 for On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, but it doesn't seem to have aired.
So, to recap, Fox News chose to air a video composed of snippets of Occupy Wall Street protesters speaking, giving various reasons for their presence at the rally, and then concluded that there was no unified reason for the protest. It neglected to air a video of one of the protesters making a lucid, reasoned argument for change and equality and holding Fox accountable for its behavior. Fair and balanced, as usual.
On a similar note, while Fox has been deriding the Occupy Wall Street protests, it heavily promoted Tea Party protests in 2009. For more on this, see here.

The most important missing part of the story is that he _did_ have a shotgun certificate...but it had been taken away in '94 (5 years before) because he "shot a hole" in the back of a vehicle he caught stealing apples.So, what happens in the US if you've had your permits revoked for violations, and 5 years later you shoot two people in your home with an unregistered weapon you claim to have "found"?
To commit a breach or infraction of; violate or transgress, to encroach or trespass.
maybe we don't want to get to the point where we find out? certificates, permits, revocations.....seems like a lot of infringement.
I find it very hard to worry much about a fleeing thief getting holes in his vehicle. In a sane world that would just help the police find and punish the perpetrator. I don't know if I will ever be castrated enough not to protect my property. But a lot of folks have been.
which brings us back here....http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/04/us/social-security-bullets/index.htmli picked this link because it's the pro-government link. you can find all the others on your own :-Dand as the last re-posted comment in the article says, you don't use hollow points for target practice....unless you are just wasting my money!it would be interesting to know how much of what has been purchased in the past by other admins? presumably the same re-certification requirements existed in the past? maybe some enterprising body can find that info. i have a wedding to attend today.....
Same ammunition used in service.


text: A less radical approach to the start of the season. Start whoever, but play the youth. 1st unit: Stuckey, Gordon, JJ, CV, Monroe This crew plays the first 8 minutes of each half, and their mission is to run. Tay takes the place of JJ in the 2nd half. The end of the game, the last 8 minutes, play Ben Wallace at center, Monroe at power forward, Tay at small forward, Stuckey at point, Rip at shooting guard. Eight minutes per half, including the last 4 of the 1st & 3rd quarters, and the first 4 of the 2nd & 4th quarters, play White at point, Daye at shooting guard, Summers at small forward, Diogu at power forward, JMAX at center. Last 8 minutes of the 1st half: Stuckey, Rip, TMAC, CV, Monroe. For minutes, this is: Stuckey 32 White 16 Gordon 16 Rip 16 Daye 16 Tay 16 (all in the 2nd half - no chance that the back will tighten during halftime - for now.) TMAC 8 JJ 8 Summers 16 Monroe 8 (at power forward) (He gets 32 total) Diogu 16 CV 24 Monroe 24 (at center) (He gets 32 total) JMAX 16 Ben Wallace 8 (does not mean he could not play more if other bigs are having foul trouble or can't handle their defensive assignment well enough.) This does leave Bynum out for the moment - but I bet every day he stays off that ankle helps. Note, Gordon too could use some more time off to heal his ankle- but perhaps playing just 16 minutes per game is enough of a rest for him - hopefully. Basically, this is a camp rotation - and I think we should use it for the first month of the season, not just camp. For three reasons, let people heal more fully, shorten up the season some, and to level out the playing field for eveyone competing for minutes.

Demba Ba
Clinical in front of goal, the Senegalese striker has already scored 11 league goals this season, after netting 16 times in the Premier League in 2011/12. The 27-year-old has been linked with a plethra of clubs recently, and Arsenal's defenders will have to be alert to keep the forward quiet on Saturday afternoon.

Crowded into the event center in Torino, where slow food international holds a conference every two years, were farmers, educators, and chefs, and interested participants. Part of the fun of Terra Madre was to see all the many variations of African fabrics alluringly worn by tall beautiful women, and the great variety of headgear worn by South Americans and small ethnic groups from around the world. One could spend hours walking about and asking about the different items brought from near and far. Workshops continued throughout the day. They provided a welcome respite for tired feet. Mostly the workshops were continuations and follow-ups to online discussions. Because of technical problems added to the lack of an interesting presentation my choice was easy. I was off to the Salone Del Gusto to sample preserved pork products from different regions of Italy. The Salone was very crowded but somehow this added to the fun of pushing through the crowds to grab a piece of salame. Besides pork there were many cheeses, chocolates, panfortes, jams, olive oils, etc. Displays of different beans, lentils, pastas, could be bought as well as cooked foods for immediate consumption. The Enoteca (having to do with wine) required an extra fee but once inside for a few dollars you could taste some very special wine, beer or spirits. The problem was deciding from 2000 different bottles.
What impressed me the most was the growing network of Americans developing,
7000 of the 85000 participants
were from the United States. Slowfood
is influencing people, producers
and consumers, all over the country.
This is truly an amazing development.
On our bus and in the same hotel were Americans from the east coast, west coast, and places in the middle; I spent most (but not all) of my time with this lively and interesting group. While waiting in the long line for lunch I would find out who was standing in front and behind me in line. On one memorable day an Australian woman was waiting ahead of me, and behind was a man from Kenya. "You know Kenya," he said, "it is the home of Obama's father". The lunch line moved far too quickly that day.

The Canisius baseball team was in control for the whole game and defeated rival Niagara University 13-4 in a non-conference game at the Demske Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon. With the win, the Golden Griffins extend their program-record winning streak to 13 games, which is now the longest active streak in the country, and improve to 35-14 on the season.
Eight of the nine Canisius starters recorded a hit in the game with junior Connor Panas going 3-for-5 with four runs scored and two RBI. Sophomore Anthony Massicci was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk while junior Jesse Puscheck was 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI. Seniors Jimmy Luppens and Ryan Coppinger along with freshman Jake Lumley each recorded two hits as well with Coppinger and Lumley adding two RBI apiece.
After leaving the bases loaded in the first, Canisius got on the board with a two-out rally in the second. Lumley reached on a one-out error and then a ground-rule double from Massicci put two runners in scoring position with two outs. Senior Jesse Kelso turned on the 1-1 pitch and it hit off the first-base bag, deflecting into right field. Both runners scored but Kelso was tagged out when he overslid the bag to end the inning.
Canisius scored three more runs in the third as the first four batters reached on hits to chase Niagara starter Anthony Caringi. Sophomore Brett Siddall followed a double from Luppens with a double of his own that bounced off the bottom of the fence to score Luppens. Panas sent a cue shot that got through the left side to put runners at the corners. After Siddall was thrown out at home on a double steal, Puscheck had a ground-rule double to left-center that made it 4-0. Lumley placed a fly ball in shallow left field to score Puscheck but was thrown out trying to extend the single into a double.
Canisius broke the game open with six runs in the fourth, including a bases-loaded walk from Siddall, two-RBI single to left from Panas and a double from Puscheck that ricocheted off the pitcher to score Panas and make it 9-1. A sacrifice fly from Coppinger and RBI single from Lumley put the Griffs up by 10 runs. The Griffs added a run in the sixth when Coppinger beat out an infield single to first, and Panas scored from second base on the play. An RBI triple from Coppinger in the eighth closed out the scoring for the Griffs.
Five Canisius pitchers combined on the win, with freshman Josh Shepley (3-1) throwing five innings and allowing four hits to pick up the victory. Senior Tyler Soucie, freshman Michael Ginther, sophomore Iannick Remillard and junior Eric Stolzenburg each threw an inning of relief.
Canisius wraps up the regular season with a three-game series with red-hot Monmouth University, who brings a 10-game winning streak to Western New York. First pitch for Thursday's doubleheader is set for noon.
Notes: Canisius has now won 12 straight games against Niagara… Canisius sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth inning and batted around for the 20th time this season… Canisius now has 13 home wins this season, which is the third most in program history and trails the 2010 team (14 wins) and the 1994 team that set the program record with 15 home wins… Luppens went 7-for-15 in the four games against Niagara… Panas has five multi-hit games in the last seven contests… In his last three starts, Shepley is 2-1 with a 3.14 ERA, two walks and eight strikeouts… Siddall extended his hitting streak to eight games… Soucie has not allowed a run in three of his last four appearances.

I don't think you would want to mess with the Japanese tradition Mr.Spork!
"Condition: David Bowie."
What does this have to do with Japan other than the text?
Sporks are awesome. everyone should have one.
I'm spork curious. What's a discreet way to find out if I'm truly ready to be with a spork?
I get
yikes, there's been a server error.
The smiling spork? Irresistable!
Yeahhh I get an error too
I want my spork!
the face is way too cutesy for me. i know it's with the theme but i'd actually consider buying it without that.
sonny2009 wrote:Ah, no Drak... what a surprise!
Drakxxx only ended up in the fog because another entry got the boot. Their art file supposedly wasn't uploaded to woot by 8am Thursday morning.
Drakxxx was a good 50 some votes behind 3rd.
Hahaha the best thing about this stupid shirt is the woot description. 'spork curious' hehehe. (And no Im not a spork virgin.)
its a fun design but not for me...
The condition of this shirt is insulting. I'm sure David Bowie would want nothing to do with this shirt or any of the other ones in the Japan derby. AND THE SONG IS CALLED "CHINA GIRL"!
Seeing Japanese wear shirts with English they don't understand on them has taught me one thing - I'm never going to wear a shirt with Japanese writing on it in Japan.
AttilaTheMom wrote:(And no Im not a spork virgin.)
Kinky! Mwahahahahaha....rofl!
damn drakxxx lost again...
No see, there should be two sporks, so if you wanna use chopsticks then you can just flip the sporks around and use em!
stargirl6878 wrote:damn drakxxx lost again...
Woot should have a week where they print all of Drakxxx's near wins and then watch as almost all of them sell out.
Just a thought O Woot gods....
I really like the way this looks... the not too contrasty colors, vintage looks... I can't decide if I'm in for one. It looks great. But...hopefully I won't see any Japanese people when I'm wearing it (if I buy it), as I think the phrasing is a little formal. Plus, I prefer chopsticks, and I'd kinda like it better without the face. But I still like the way it looks overall because of the colors and style. Hmmm decisions.
Btw everyone - all asian characters aren't kanji. For instance, this design has a mix of kanji and characters from 2 Japanese alphabets. I keep seeing a lot of people calling everything that looks asian writing "kanji" round these parts.
Well, the text along the circle says "this is the new chopstick." I recognize the kanji in the other line, but would have to look it up.
Queeg wrote:Seeing Japanese wear shirts with English they don't understand on them has taught me one thing - I'm never going to wear a shirt with Japanese writing on it in Japan.
The same reason why I didn't buy any of the Japan derby shirts.
It's insulting to see anyone wear a shirt with Asian characters nowadays.
i must admit, i do like the vintage look of the design though...but i dont like it enough to buy...seems a little off-topic to me...
c'est la vie...
Ansemx2 wrote:Woot should have a week where they print all of Drakxxx's near wins and then watch as almost all of them sell out.

The design would be perfect as the cover on a menu of a Japanese restaurant run by Americans in Mexico in the 1950's.
Stupid spork... I wanted Drakxxx to win so I could get that creepy looking shirt... :~(
For those of you who are wondering, the text says:
sakiware supuun "spork"
kore wa, atarashii ohashi desu "this is the new chopstick".
It means what it says, and the Japanese isn't wrong. I believe that it more polite than you'd expect from a t-shirt, but whatever.
I just checked, and my translation is essentially the same as was done in its original submission thread by superspryte.
please note: sakiware is pronounced sa-key-wa-ray
Let's look at this scientifically:
Chopsticks let you pick up everything from a grain of rice to a whole lotta noodles (don't be rude and stuff your face though).
Sporks are supposed to be a fork/spoon hybrid, but they're only kinda okay at either one. They're better suited for soft desserts than chopsticks, however.
Advantage- Chopsticks
Self defense:
Chopsticks aren't very sharp, but they can deliver a solid, painful poke which will slow attackers.
Sporks can too, but they're usually made out of bendy plastic, which means that they won't do much good aimed at center mass.
Advantage: Chopstick
Improvisational uses:
Chopsticks can be used for anything stick related, including drumsticks, pick up sticks, walking sticks (for exceptionally short people) and devil sticks.
Sporks would probably be a decent replacement for a miniature zen garden rake. Other than that, I dunno.
Winner- Chopsticks. Sorry, spork.
simontsui wrote:The same reason why I didn't buy any of the Japan derby shirts.

Unless, of course, the person wearing it speaks/understands the Asian language in which it's written.
I tend to stay away from shirts with Japanese writing, but the design on this one was just too much fun to pass up.
I would like to be able to buy one of Drakxxx's shirts, but it doesn't look like I'll ever get that chance.
...my dad made me learn chopsticks before i could even pick up a tune, so i cant forget chopsticks..
Gotta love the spork... Like Jim Gaffigan said.
"Chopsticks are cute... but I'd rater eat than play operation"

Actually, if I may suggest... head over to Goodjoe.com and vote for his Wise Old Master piece.
Agreed. Some shirts that I will never wear keep winning ahead of it.
Well... I think it's Asia's (particularly Japan's) fault for making a cool looking symbol language.
If they would of just stuck to normal letters... They wouldn't have this problem.

P.S. We Love You: Destination Weddings Come to Palm Springs
by Jolene Rae Harrington, Director of Creative Content
Palm Springs is HOT and we're not talking about the temperature. Recent years have seen a veritable explosion in the number of destination events celebrated in this vacation mecca; and not only is tourism at an all-time high, but more and more singles and families are adopting the Greater Palm Springs area as their year-round residence.
Yet despite the influx, the area's relaxed, uncrowded appeal is here to stay, since development is expanding outward into the vast stretches of land that surround the original town. Nowadays, when one refers to "Palm Springs," they could be talking about any one of the nine cities that make up the sprawling Coachella Valley. The early village of Palm Springs sprang up in the late 1800s with the coming of the railroad, and during Hollywood's Golden Age became a favorite playground of the elite. In more recent decades, the area lost a tad of its luster, and got a reputation as a sleepy retirement community for old-timers and golfers.
Now all that has changed. The celebrities are back, and many come here for a honeymoon hideaway or a wild wedding weekend. Tempted by the region's stunning natural scenery, lavish resorts and first-class shopping and entertainment, many bridal couples are skipping Hawaii and opting instead for a destination wedding in this desert oasis. Only about a 2-hour drive from anywhere in Southern Cal, Palm Springs is simply bursting with activities—so guests traveling to the wedding from out-of-state (yes, there's an airport here) also enjoy a mini-vacation. While you're recovering from the festivities and sneaking off for some private time with your sweetie, a tempting array of diversions will keep everyone happily occupied, from your Cousin Ned "the Jock," to your snooty Aunt Irma…and you won't have to do a thing.
Palm Springs-A-Go-Go
"The Valley" really does have something for everyone. You've got to love a place that has city ordinances against excessive illumination that interferes with the spectacular starscape. Stargazing isn't limited to the night sky, though, and the "Walk of Stars" on Palm Canyon Drive, as well as many a street name, pays homage to the rich and famous that have contributed to the area's legendary glamour. The rest of us humble folk can sample a cavalcade of culture that includes museums, theater productions, concerts, and comics performing regularly at casinos and swanky nightclubs. Seasonal offerings like January's International Film Festival and the rockin' Coachella arts and music festival attract notables from all over the world, while locals flock to the weekly VillageFest, an arts & crafts fair in the heart of downtown. Palm Desert's El Paseo is one of the most upscale promenades in all of California, featuring posh boutiques and trendy galleries. Designer bargain-hunters have a field day at the Factory Outlet Stores in nearby Cabazon.
One of Palm Springs' most unusual attractions is the Living Desert, which features a wild animal preserve, botanical gardens, and a re-creation of an African trading village. Other ways to "go native" include hikes along the Indian Canyon wilderness trails. Get a loftier perspective on the Valley by taking the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which lifts you in a 360-degree rotating car from the desert floor to an Alpine forest at an elevation of 8,516 feet. Ski in the surrounding mountains during the winter, and splash down in Knott's Soak City, USA any time of year (the kids will love it here).
Of course, P.S. is a golfer's Fantasyland, offering over 100 challenging—and many championship—courses. Sporting types will also enjoy tennis clubs, polo clubs, and equestrian stables. Why not tour the area in a Jeep? Or a hot-air balloon? Or a covered wagon? Or on a camel?! Not that adventurous? No need to feel guilty about enjoying some precious "down time." In fact, the desert invites you to relax and rejuvenate, admire the panoramic sunsets, and indulge in cutting-edge spa treatments. After an exhilarating day, sample an impressive range of culinary offerings, including gourmet bistros, sushi bars, and hearty steakhouses.
In an area as exciting and diverse as the Coachella Valley, playing concierge to your out-of-town guests is a breeze. Still, it's a good idea help them along with packets of informative literature, available from the accommodating folks at the Palm Springs Visitors Bureau.
Decisions, Decisions
Now that you're convinced that P.S. is the preferred locale for you and yours, what about the wedding itself, as well as the attendant mini-parties? Again, choices abound, ranging from intimate bed & breakfasts to luxurious resorts and lots of other venues in between. For many grooms, the typical bachelor party sojourn to Las Vegas has been replaced by a golf or tennis weekend with the boys at Palm Springs. The bride is taking her shower on the road for a fun-filled girls-only weekend in the Desert Empire, replete with spa treatments and that favorite pre-wedding ritual, shopping.
Planning the actual wedding ceremony and reception is made easier with the advice of the Greater Palm Springs Wedding Association, an organization of local vendors dedicated to providing quality wedding services. However, most wedding sites come with professional coordinators who will not only refer you to trustworthy vendors, but also carry out your wishes to perfection. Here are some of our own suggestions for "can't miss" ceremony and reception locations.
Under the Tuscan Sun:
Miramonte Resort and Spa
Styled after a luxurious Tuscan villa, Miramonte is a place where the natural beauty of the desert merges with the sensual allure of Northern Italy throughout eleven acres of flowering pathways, tiled fountains, mountain vistas, and gracious hospitality. Before the wedding day, the bride and her attendants unwind and beautify in the hotel spa. Al fresco ceremony sites include an olive grove, a fragrant herb garden, and a garden lawn. Gourmet receptions unfold in one of the beautiful, Italianate ballrooms; or celebrate by an Old World fireplace in the outdoor Piazza, with a bird's eye-view of the ever-changing desert horizon. At this boutique resort, guest rooms are discreetly spread out among gently downlit garden lanes, lending a feeling of seclusion, calm and romance.
Paradise Found:
Desert Springs, a JW Marriott Resort and Spa
This award-winning, four-star resort comprises 450 acres of lushly landscaped grounds, glistening lakes and flowing waterways filled with graceful swans and pink flamingoes. A spectacular waterfall cascades right through the 8-story atrium lobby, where colorful exotic birds preen on their perches. A gondola-style boat brings brides to their outdoor ceremony site, a lawn at the water's edge. For intimate weddings, the secluded Serenity Pond fosters a cozy, natural atmosphere. An array of ballrooms, dramatic chandeliers and a palette of rich earth tones offer a polished, upscale ambiance. The Desert Springs also has a spa, a multitude of both sophisticated and casual dining venues, and onsite activities galore. Newlyweds will have no problem savoring their "alone time" in this tropical oasis.
A Home of One's Own:
The Historic Cree Estate
Some of Palm Springs' most lavish private homes can be rented for your own celebration through select coordinators like Sylvia Schmitt of Locations Unlimited. One of her most engaging properties is the Historic Cree Estate, a delightful embodiment of Old World charm. A Mexican-style adobe hacienda spreads out on 21/2 acres of lush lawns, enchanting gardens, fruit trees, and date palms. Stage your reception around the spectacularly tiled black-bottomed pool, then unwind amidst the estate's romantic atmosphere. Reserve the Cree for the whole weekend, and the six bedrooms, three kitchens, and cozy Bridal Suite (featuring a skylight and fireplace) can become your personal desert paradise.
A Desert Classic:
Indian Wells Country Club
Opened in 1955, this prestigious club's earliest members included Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Today, the Club welcomes non-members to wed on its beautiful grounds, and receive the same "white glove service" that has made the Club a favorite of four U.S. presidents. Ceremonies blossom on the 18th hole, where waterfall fountains feed a sparkling lake, encircled by flowers, palm trees and the rugged silhouette of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The contemporary Southwest-style Clubhouse, decked out with imported marble, rich woods and cut stone, makes a classy reception site. Your most lavish gala comes alive in the Grand Ballroom, where an entire wall of windows lets in a view of the lake, seen up-close from the adjoining veranda. Distinguished yet congenial, Indian Wells Country Club invites you to share in their tradition of excellence.
It Makes Cents
Another reason to consider Palm Springs is value. Less costly than the Caribbean and more accessible than Paris, you'll get greater luxury for your dollar in the Coachella Valley. And off-season rates can make Palm Springs an exceptional deal. In the summertime, outdoor events generally unfold in the cooler evening hours; during the day, incorporate lots of umbrellas and refreshing "misters" for a tropical ambiance.
Palm Springs and its surrounding hamlets just keep on getting better, so you'll want to return for important anniversaries year after year to rekindle past memories, and create some new ones.

Sweet: Ford shows up GM at Detroit Auto Show with concept truck
posted at 9:03 pm on January 15, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham
Oh, I do root for Ford. I even used to be a Chevy devotee in NASCAR, but no more, not since the bailouts:
I'm here in Detroit, at what had been, until this morning, the 2013 North American International Corvette Show. That's not me dissing the 2014 Corvette, mind you. It's fantastic. But by making Detroit all about America's Sports Car, General Motors also dealt itself a shotgun blast to the foot.
Because everyone forgot about the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups.
Those trucks are GM's cash cows. They're more important than the Corvette, because their mere existence helps enable GM to build Corvettes in the first place. Any other year, they are GM's Detroit Auto Show news cycle. But the Stingray turned them into the backup singers whose names you don't know.
And then Ford dropped a bomb with the unannounced Atlas concept truck this morning. What's the Ford Atlas? To GM's truck PR folks, it's the elephant in the room, covered in 900-pound gorillas carrying Kate Upton, naked, in a sedan chair.
Video of the Ford Atlas sneak-peek at the link. Good lookin' truck. One wonders if, by the time it comes out, we'll be allowed to have gun racks.

Corning Community College's Walter R. Smith Visiting Scholar Series will host author Keith J. Bybee as he presents "All Judges are Political—Except When They Are Not: Acceptable Hypocrisies and the Rule of Law" on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 8:00 p.m. in the Triangle Lounge, located in the Commons building on the Spencer Hill campus in Corning, New York. This event is free and open to the public.
Bybee will explore contradictory public perceptions of the courts and consider their impact on judicial legitimacy and the rule of law. This discussion stems from his book All Judges Are Political—Except When They Are Not, Acceptable Hypocrisies and the Rule of Law, a bold and original account of law in American society. In the book, Bybee describes how Americans accept a rule of law that is at once both impartial and political. He convincingly makes the case that much can be learned by thinking hard about the role of common courtesy and hypocrisy in society. A truly interdisciplinary endeavor, this work provides serious fodder for those concerned with the health of the rule of law in America.
Bybee is the Paul E. and Hon. Joanne F. Alper '72 Judiciary Studies Professor at the Syracuse University College of Law. He is also Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute.
Bybee's teaching interests include law and courts, the politics of race and ethnicity, LGBT rights, American politics, political philosophy, and the media. His articles have appeared in a wide range of academic journals. He is author of the book Mistaken Identity: The Supreme Court and the Politics of Minority Representation (Princeton University Press, 1998; second printing, 2002), an examination of the theories of political identity at stake in the debate over race-conscious redistricting. He is also editor of Bench Press: The Collision of Courts, Politics, and the Media (Stanford University Press, 2007), a collection of essays on judicial independence written by legal scholars, sitting judges, and working journalists. His latest book, All Judges Are Political—Except When They Are Not: Acceptable Hypocrisies and the Rule of Law (Stanford University Press, 2010) considers how the judicial process may be shot through with partisanship and nonetheless remain a legitimate part of the legal system.
Bybee edits the subject matter journal Law, Politics, and the Media published by SSRN.com and the book series Stanford Studies in Law and Politics published by Stanford University Press. He is also part of the editorial team for the Journal of Law and Courts and he recently completed his three-year term as President of the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities.

Also, about the concerns of this getting rejected on the grounds of TMNT and video games, that's total crap, this design doesn't reference TMNT at all, yes it's a mutant turtle but that concept is not owned by TMNT. This is a completely independent idea, even if it does play on people's nostalgia for TMNT.
While I generally stay out of these things, I'd have to disagree about that.
1) It's called a mutant in the title.
2) It has ninja weaponry.
3) It has four heads.
ergo, TMNT.
One point of the previous comment was that OTHER designs were rejected for video games because the rejectorationers felt that they were about TMNJ. I don't believe that discussing this possible rejection case is out of line. Why would woot NOT reject this if they rejected the previous design that seems to meet the same 'video game' criteria as this one?
Ok, I still dislike this turtle, and the style in general. But I gotta give you props for sticking by your guns, dude. Rollin' with the punches: ramyb.
I SO feel this. Just wish it wasn't on white. But I know white is your canvas of choice. I can deal.

Both alluding to the controversy of the panda being a bear (some scientists debate that it is in the raccoon family rather than bear), as well as having the 'different' lunch at the cafeteria table... have you ever been that kid?
Molecular and genetic studies suggest that the giant panda is indeed a true bear (family Ursidae), and the "raccoon debate" has died down significantly in the past several years.
I think this is a pretty cute design, by the way.

text: Hey gang. It's been a while since I've been around here, but I thought I'd share with you my most recent creation. Since February or so I've been enjoying carving wood. Kinda combines my fondness for drawing and sculpting with the pressures of not messing up. This is my second finished carving, much smaller than my first, but he stands about 7" tall without the base. It's carved from 2 blocks of Northern Bass wood, has a moving right arm and thrusters. Stained with linseed oil and then washed with acrylics. Took about a month and a half of working here and there. It's titled "Journeyman Protector". Sorry for the lacking pics, but I hope you like it!

Microbiologist John Franklin Enders, virologist Thomas H. Weller and physician Frederick Chapman Robbins together develop a technique to grow poliovirus in test tube cultures of human tissues. This approach gave virologists a practical tool for the isolation and study of viruses. Enders, Weller and Robbins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1954.
George Beadle and Edward Tatum jointly publish a paper on their experiments using the fungus Neurospora crassa to establish that particular genes are expressed through the action of correspondingly specific enzymes. The first gene to be identified controlled the synthesis of an enzyme in a series that led to generation of niacin. This report is the genesis of the "one gene-one enzyme" concept. With Lederberg, Beadle and Tatum are awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1958.

Joshua Lederberg and Edward L. Tatum publish the first paper on a type of bacterial mating called conjugation. The proof is based on the generation of daughter cells able to grow in media that cannot support growth of either of the parent cells. Their experiments showed that this type of gene exchange requires direct contact between bacteria. At the time Lederberg began studying with Tatum, scientists believed that bacteria reproduced asexually, but from the work of Beadle and Tatum, Lederberg knew that fungi reproduced sexually and he suspected that bacteria did as well.

Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty show that DNA is the transforming material in cells. They demonstrate that the transformation of Streptococcus pneumoniae from an avirulent type to a virulent type is the result of the transfer of DNA from dead smooth organisms to live rough ones. They also show that the transforming principle is destroyed by pancreatic deoxyribonuclease —an enzyme that hydrolyzes DNA —but is not affected by pancreatic ribonuclease or enzymes that destroy proteins.

Salvador Luria and Max Delbruck provide a statistical demonstration that inheritance in bacteria follows Darwinian principles. Particular mutants, such as viral resistance, occur randomly in bacterial populations, even in the absence of the virus. More important, they occur in small numbers in some populations and in large numbers in other cultures. With Hershey, Delbruck and Luria are awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1969.

We still don't quite know what Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice was doing with his ailing knee over in Switzerland, but he is back with his team. Head coach Pete Carroll said earlier this week that Rice was overseas for some sort of non-surgical procedure on his knee. Now that he has returned, Rice will be evaluated by team doctors, and a plan to get him back on the practice field will be put forth. However, Rice isn't expected to miss any of Seattle's preseason games, the first of which is on Aug. 8.
Fantasy Analysis:
I assume we will know more about exactly what Rice's knee underwent in time, but this seems like the end to this story for now. Golden Tate has reportedly been very impressive in training camp; the Sehawks desperately need to keep Rice healthy so he can be a dependable No. 2 WR. But he is more valuable to the Seahawks than he is in fantasy football. He had the second-best season of his six-year career in 2012, but he caught just 50 passes for 748 yards and seven touchdowns in a full season. Even without Percy Harvin, Rice is a WR4 at most.

I know he relies on outside eyes as well as his own, but in this particular (odd?) case I think he punted on stats. I love all the guys that put their reputation on the line with the scouting lists and Sickels is one of my faves.
Compiling is a good word. He compiles, KLaw and the BP guys scout.

Things will always work out in the end, but if you want them to turn out a certain way... You need to make it happen.
