ACT Overview
ACT also known as American College Test, assesses and analyzes a student's educational development and ability to study and participate in college. The ACT Test itself is a multiple choice test that tests the students in four major skill areas, English, Math, Reading and Science. ACT scores are generally used as an indicator for college aptness along with the students GPA, class rank and extra curricular activities. The ACT Test was initially introduced in 1959 as a competitor to SAT's (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and is recognized by all four year colleges and universities in the United States today.
As mentioned before, the ACT test is a four subject multiple choice test of English, Mathematics, Science, and Reading. In addition to the four, you have a fifth component of ACT which is essay writing. The essay writing portion was introduced in 2005. Not all schools take into consideration the essay portion of ACT for admission.

ACT Registration Process
The ACT Test is offered 4 – 6 times in a year in September, October, December, February, April and June. The Test is generally conducted on a Saturday. Potential candidates may choose to take the ACT Assessment which has a fee of around $33.00 or the ACT Assessment plus writing which has a fee of around $48.00. You can either register online or register by mail. Registering online is the most accelerated way. You can give your test center preferences and your admission ticket can be printed.
ACT Test Eligibility
A student can take the test twice, once as a junior and once as a senior. Any high schooler irrespective of being a junior or a senior is eligible.
ACT Test Preparation
There are numerous websites including this one that gives you access to free ACT Test practice papers online. You have a rich diaspora of mock tests and mock questions that you can solve which will help you gain the necessary skills and confidence to take the ACT test with confidence. There are many book stores and libraries where you can buy or rent out books on ACT Test preparation which will help you ace the tests. There are several books and tutorials available on the internet too.
ACT Scores
ACT Scores range from 1 being the lowest to 36 being the highest. Each individual test is graded in the same scale (1-36) and your overall score is the average of your four individual test scores. Fractions are rounded up or down. The national average scores for ACT is around 20 so any score above that is good.

ARDMORE OK-- A house fire in Ardmore has left a man and his mother without a house to call their own.
Pictures are all Albert carter said he has left after a fire destroyed his home and nearly destroyed his car.
Carter lived in the home with his mother, and said he woke up to screams and the smell of smoke.
"My mom and I were in the house asleep, and my ex-wife who lives next door started hollering "fire, fire get out!" I opened the door and saw a big fire right beside my mom's bed," said Carter
Carter said once he realized what was going on, he ran to save his mother. He said tried to get out of the house through the front door.
"I'm half asleep and I saw my mom get up. I went in there and grabbed her and I started to grab the front door, but burnt my fingers," said Carter.
Carter said a neighbor next door helped them out of the burning home.
Jimmy carter is Albert's brother who lives down the street. He said he too was asleep when he heard someone screaming.
"I'm taking my nap and I'm hearing screaming and hollering. I came out to my front door and I noticed my mother's house in flames."
Neighbors said they were shocked to wake up to a house engulfed in flames.
"I just woke up and ran in and woke up my roommate to come out here and look at it. It was terrible I mean cop cars and fire trucks were everywhere," said neighbor Clifton Wright.
"I was in my house asleep and I started smelling smoke and hearing sirens and then my roommate came inside and he told me there was a fire outside, and her whole house was just indulged in flames," said neighbor Brandon Smith.
Fire officials said the fire started on the porch due to an extension cord that ran to a freezer. The family will stay with Albert Carter's ex-wife for now.
Relatives said Red Cross is helping the family with clothes.

Theme Hospital is on GOG.com!
"You might not think that a hospital sim could be so funny, but remember: laughter is the best medicine!
Welcome to the GOG.com clinic! As a treatment for typical symptoms of moderngameboringus--lack of creativity, no sense of humor, and mindless repetition--we recommend a wonderful insta-cure: Theme Hospital for a co-pay of only $5.99!
Theme Hospital is a hospital management simulation. You need to fill the empty building with all sorts of hospital equipment, starting from desks and file cabinets, to ultra-sophisticated diagnostic machinery like DNA fixer or Head Inflator: you know, equipment every hospital needs. Then you hire all necessary staff members like doctors, nurses, handymen, or receptionists, and once everything's set up, treat patients as they come in suffering from a variety of humourous illnesses, including Hairyitis, Bloaty Head, and even Slack Tongue (caused by over-discussion of soap operas!).
Theme Hospital is all about the little details: staff personalities, patients vomiting, doctors chilling in the staff room, and fantastic comedic cutscenes. Your hospital requires not only the best staff and equipment but pool tables, soda machines, radiators, and plants to keep your patients and doctors alike happy. Fans of micromanagement will be pleased, but so will fans of fun!
Do what it takes to make the world a better place: pick up Theme Hospital for $5.99 on GOG.com today!" - GOG.com

Weston-super-Mare boss Craig Laird delivers Truro City warning
Weston-super-Mare boss Craig Laird insists victory over Blue Square South leaders Welling will mean nothing if they follow it up by losing to basement club Truro.
In buoyant mood after pulling off a surprise 2-0 win at the weekend, the Seagulls travel to Cornwall intent upon confirming their status as play-off contenders.
The seaside club may be up to sixth in the table, but manager Laird is taking nothing for granted against a Truro side that held Bath City to a 1-1 draw at Twerton Park on Saturday.
He said: "Truro may be bottom of the league, but they are still capable of beating anyone on their day.

As usual, thanks to Peas and Crayons for hosting WIAW.
Yesterday was a whirlwind of activities, baking, cooking, frying, running, bodypumping, general tomfoolery of all sorts. Capturing my meals, was a bit sketchy. They were all things I have made/have had before, save for dinner. Thank.G-d. I already have pictures.
I am the lamest of the lame. Breakfast was a use up of pumpkin I had in the freezer. The cop wants all of the baked goods out of the freezer and for us to replace it with what he feels is really important: meat.
The recipe can be found here and it is so comforting and delicious. Also, if you over toast them you can use them as frisbees. They're also really easy for your handy underground revolutions, if you simply imprint it with a mockingjay.
Lunch was more of my super healthy, super yummy, high protein macaroni and cheese. OMG is this stuff good. It is so filling and so comforting, you really don't realize how good you're being to your body.
Dinner was a clustercluck. Originally, I had offered up my home/kitchen to a close friend whose kitchen is out of comission to use to celebrate Hanukkah. She is a school teacher so of course, at about 2pm their family got sick. I feel so bad for her, being sick on a holiday is the worst. Major bummer. I wasn't going to let all of the fish and shredded sweet potatoes I made go to waste. I felt like a proper granddaughter of a Southerner as I fried every damn thing I made. (except for the salad-not saying I didn't think about it)
In the bowl is an apple, feta cheese, tomatoes, scallions, and snap peas.
Fried fish, fried sweet potato latkes, fresh snap peas. With fried fish AND latkes, you need the salad and peas.
Thank sweet, sweet, heavens that after that meal, I got my oil covered ass (that sounded dirtier than I meant it to) to the gym. I needed to sweat and feel ze burn.
I was 3 minutes early to class.
For dessert, I had what I usually crave after a run-dates.
I often have a little mocha after a run as well. Recovery and a pick me up. Don't judge me. I have a 7 month old and the craziest 3 year old you've ever encountered. I NEEDS MY CAFFEINES. I am in love with every minute of my alone time with my dates. I eat them quietly in my car, a lot like how Monica eats her grapes. When I get home, the bag is demolished by the Captain who calls them "big raisins". Silly fool, I'd already eaten most of them. HA! One point for the Mom.
Today I am baking over 150 cookies. Oh yes, you read that right. 150 cookies. Stay back, and bring me some coffee. If you love me, you'll add bourbon.
He was eating macaroni by dinosaur flashlight. See all of the stuff behind him on the counter? Wrapping stuff.

You wait decades for discoveries that could revolutionise physics, then three come along at once
"THE universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose," as geneticist J. B. S. Haldane once remarked. In recent decades, physicists have done their best to prove Haldane wrong, by supposing some very queer universes indeed.
Their speculations may seem fantastical, but they are well motivated. Physics poses some formidable questions that we are so far unable to answer. Why is the universe dominated by matter not antimatter? Why does our universe appear to be "fine-tuned" with just the right properties to give rise to galaxies, stars, planets, life and physicists?
The existing edifice of physics, built upon the twin foundations of general relativity and quantum mechanics, is clearly in need of renovation. We have been waiting for years for cracks to appear that might tell us how to go about it. But up to now, nature has remained stubbornly unmoved.
In the past few weeks, however, promising cracks have opened up. In September came stunning news of neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. Sceptics withheld judgement but now a new analysis has affirmed the initial result (see "More data shows neutrinos still faster than light"). We still await independent verification - doubts have already been cast - but if it holds up the implications are enormous, opening the door to a new and very different picture of the cosmos.
No less tantalising is a report that particles called mesons decay differently from their antimatter counterparts, anti-mesons (see "LHC antimatter anomaly hints at new physics"). If this result stands up, it would go a long way towards explaining why we have more matter than antimatter. More importantly, it would prise open the standard model of particle physics - which cannot explain the result - and point the way to yet more new physics.
The widest crack of all concerns a theory once considered outlandish but now reluctantly accepted as the orthodoxy. Almost everything in modern physics, from standard cosmology and quantum mechanics to string theory, points to the existence of multiple universes - maybe 10500 of them, maybe an infinite number (see "The ultimate guide to the multiverse").
If our universe is just one of many, that solves the "fine-tuning" problem at a stroke: we find ourselves in a universe whose laws are compatible with life because it couldn't be any other way. And that would just be the start of a multiverse-fuelled knowledge revolution.
Conclusive evidence may be close at hand. Theorists predict that our universe might once have collided with others. These collisions could have left dents in the cosmic microwave background, the universe's first light, which the European Space Agency's Planck satellite is mapping with exquisite precision. The results are eagerly awaited, and could trigger a revolution not unlike the ones unleashed by Copernicus's idea that the Earth is not the centre of the solar system and Edwin Hubble's discovery that our galaxy is just one among many in an expanding universe.
These are exciting, possibly epoch-making, times. Our understanding of the universe stands on the brink of being remade once again. The universe may indeed be queerer than we can suppose, but that was never going to stop us from trying.

I doubt it. Since the other "universes", if they exist, are outside "our universe", then we cannot know things about them for sure. Not even whether they exist. We could however have a multiverse-fueled speculation bubble.

We don't have to know anything "for sure". We can (and in fact must) speculate and come up with hypotheses which explain to a greater or lesser degree what's going on. The compulsion to know "for sure" leads to self deceptions like theist explanations when the answer for now should really be "we don't know yet".

So we don't know for sure whether Evolution occurred, or whether the universe is expanding, or whether the world is older than 6,000 years. Thank you, I've learned a lot today!
Now explain to me how the compulsion to know "for sure" leads to theist explanations when the answer should be "we don't know". I can see how that compulsion might lead someone to say "we know for sure that no God created life", but how would it lead to the conclusion that God created life? Is there any evidence for that?

Nothing is known for 100.00,...% sure. Theist seem to claim that they know that god created everything for sure. Atheists seem to claim they have no evidence for a god. Those are generalizations from what I've seen. The atheist admit he is not 100% sure, so saying god did it is more likely to come out of wanting to believe something 100%

NDE - Theism? What has any of this to do with the physical universe? I am a bit tired of hearing ideas being mooted which are from the supernatural and mystical and theological realms on a science publication site. Of course some of this is about "the big questions" and cosmology - but hearsay and personal belief are nothing whatever to do with science. I have lost an entire day of my life to an overdose and never witnessed any "NDE" - just a total void and loss of time - surely it is better to stick to the subject matter of the article than endlessly speculate about Gods and demons - the universe is physical - it does not have metabeings in it - that is all we know and probably can know.

Eric, the "other universes if they exist" are not necessarily outside our universe (or cosmos). There may be infinite other realities or "universes" within the same space as our own (given infinite background energy) but they would not be real/exist to us (unless they had exactly the same set of constants). We would have no way of knowing of their existence (other than if we had the ability to consciously shift the reality / constants that we perceive).
The random chances of another universe /reality having exactly the same constants as ours are near to zero, but then with the infinity of space and time they would be allowed to occur from time to time and place to place, far apart.
All unprovable speculation of course, but that does not mean it's not reasonable and could not be true. So we might humbly accept that the ultimate nature of the universe will be beyond our grasp.

Another couple of points on multiverse theory re Mr Greenhouse`s scenario of a bowl of soup winning the olympic 100 metres - rather than a great athlete - in an otherwise identical 'universe'. (letters)
Well this scenario would break our laws of physics of course and while quantum physics may imply the essential possibility of deviation from these it's only from point to point or moment to moment. In my theory the sustained deviance from these laws becomes impossible/supernatural because all the physical laws, altogether, are a minimal set of conditions that perform the function of preserving the consistency of the reality and everything in it - so without an obeyance of the laws the bowl of soup will fade out of existence into oblivion (if the other universe/reality basically similar).
Another point is that if there's an infinite variety of scenarios to select, we may be conditionally incliined to select a commonly agreed scenario with a familiar set of laws and conditions, to share a common reality.

"If our universe is just one of many, that solves the fine-tuning problem at a stroke"
I request New Scientist elucidate further. I don't see how multiverses solve the "problem" of the existence of sentient life, even if this particular universe is the only one with sentients. You still have the same "problem", why sentients exist at all.
I catch a faint whiff of religious bias with the use of the word "problem." As a rationalist, I observe for theists the existence of sentient life is not a "problem", only for atheists. And they are quite correct, it is indeed a problem.
But watch out. It could turn out all those other multiverses could have exactly the same set of physical constants. And they'd be back to their "problem", again. Not that they ever really solved it.

Sorry, Ryan, I tried responding and eventually I realized I didn't have the time.
Perhaps I should mention the purpose of The Nine Point Five Theses is not to convince the masses, but rather to stimulate scientific efforts into investigating the existence of the soul in the laboratory.
If one scientist reads The Nine Point Five Theses and decides they are sufficient theoretical justification to go into the lab and try to detect souls, The Nine Point Five Theses have accomplished what I wanted them to do.
It's not about winning a popularity contest or having massive hits on my blog site.
This is science. All that is required is one scientist, and one successful, reproducible experiment.
Besides, everything I really have to say is in The Nine Point Five Theses. If you read them and you're not convinced, fine, we're done, and on to the next reader.
I never expected to convince all the people or even most people, but one scientist is all that is necessary.

You might as well take your blog down then. No scientist is going to see anything worth researching there. It is incoherent, self contradictory and full of logical fallacies.
Apart from that....

Tue Nov 29 12:39:16 GMT 2011 by Ryan
Jeff, come on man. Your blog is riddled with logical fallacies. It could even be used as a text book example of how not to come up with a theory and how not to argue it logically. It's not that people don't like it because it offends their asthetics, it's because it's demonstrably wrong.
I'm a scientist Jeff and I can tell you that no one is ever going to read this and run off and prove it because there is nothing to prove. Even if we suppose souls exist Jeff your blog would contribute nothing towards their discovery thanks to it's jaw-dropping inconsistencies and illogical examples.
Finally there has already been scientific investigation into paranormal proposals like souls and not one of them has found any evidence. In fact a mountain of medical and neuroscience data show that the brain and the brain alone is the seat of consciousness. Furthermore sociobiology, evolution, anthropology have consistent explanations for morals and ethics.
I'm sorry Jeff, I know you want to think that you've made some sort of groundbreaking discovery that has to be right, a discovery that people are rejecting because they are afraid or don't understand it or don't want to believe it. The reality is you're just another guy with a blog and a badly thought out, illogical personal theory that's "not even wrong".

Jeff, if you are looking for proof of existence of soul you need look no further than Near Death Experiences. There are plenty of recorded cases, especially on the Internet. Also what most people don't realise is how common these experiences really are. Almost every person dying of Old Age will experience a gradual slipping away, where one minute they are here in this world and the next minute they are clearly talking to people on the other side. The way to record this proof is simply to have researchers sitting at the bedside of dying patients and to record their last hours. It will then be apparent just how widespread these experiences are.

Rubbish! I experienced nothing but oblivion when I died in a road accident and was resuscitated. You experience what you expect to experience in those extreme circumstances.

Tue Nov 29 22:14:55 GMT 2011 by Eric Kvaalen
Not true. You may not have experienced anything (that you remember -- after all, things can happen to you which you then totally forget!), but many people have experiences which they definitely did not expect!

Tue Nov 29 23:25:50 GMT 2011 by Julian Mann
I am pleased you survived Sebastian, however unless resuscitation was started quite quickly, you probably would have died or suffered irreversible brain damage. Some accidents can cause the victim to go into a coma, but that is still not "Death".
I have a close friend who experienced a NDE and his experience was very similar to many other descriptions of NDE's that I have read about or seen on the internet. Also I know of several elderly people passing away both in my family and friends families, where the dying person was clearly in communication with a previously deceased relative or friend. There are also other descriptions given by road accident victims for example, where they were able to later describe details of the rescue, even though they were unconscious or had died for a brief period of time

This is most likely just wishful thinking form people who are scared, compounded by the obvious delerium from dying, its going to affect your state of mind

Tue Nov 29 22:19:32 GMT 2011 by Eric Kvaalen
You should read more about it! Actually, these experiences often happen to people who are not scared, and dying people sometimes show a clear-headedness (while experiencing the visit of departed relatives) which they did not have beforehand.

Tue Nov 29 13:46:14 GMT 2011 by sean tremba
Of course it's not even possible, is it, that the so called "near death experiences" could be the random firings of neurons in a dying brain? To argue that near death experiences are real is akin to arguing that anything you dream must also be real.
"problem", Is It?
Tue Nov 29 22:22:06 GMT 2011 by Eric Kvaalen
But sometimes people learn things in a near-death experience (or death experience) which they would have no natural (physical) way of knowing. That may happen in dreams too, but is rare.

Kupper Chevrolet to Supply Crates
by correy, posted 01/15/2013 - 12:16 AM » Current News
Tour sponsor Kupper Chevrolet in Mandan, ND will be supplying the GM Performance #88958604 Crate Engine for the IMCA Modified division for the 2013 season. The cost will be $5395. |

MANDAN, ND-The six cooperating tracks which make up the Dakota Classic Modified Tour have released their dates and locations for the upcoming series. This year a new track that was one of the original Tour tracks in 1990 when the long standing series was created--Jamestown Speedway--has been added to the series eliminating the double header at one track that has been a staple of the Tour for many years. Once again, the series will feature IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Stock Cars. The series will start on Saturday, July 6, 2013, at Jamestown Speedway in Jamestown, ND. The track will be leased to Tour Director John Gartner as a private promotion. The next night the series heads north to Nodak Speedway in Minot, ND, on Sunday, July 7. On Monday, July 8, the Tour heads just north of the US Canadian border at Estevan Motor Speedway, in Estevan, Saskatchewan. The booming city of Williston, ND and the Williston Basin Speedway is next up on Tuesday, July 9. On Wednesday, July 10, its south to the Southwest Speedway in Dickinson, ND. The series wraps up its six consecutive night swing with Championship Night at Dacotah Speedway in Mandan, ND, on Thursday, July 11. The same rules, procedures, flagman, announcers and IMCA's national tech inspector will again be a part of the series. Another record purse that features added payout in specific positions gained by additional sponsorship in the growing Bakken oil field will be released at a later date, along with contingency prizes and a points fund generated for both classes. Racers and fans seeking hotel rooms should book early as there is still a shortage of rooms, despite many new hotel chains moving into the area. For more information call John Gartner at (701) 202-6075, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com |

Hank Berry took a double digit point lead going into the last night of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour. The Sidney, MT driver already had a tour win in Estevan on Tuesday, coupled with a string of strong finishes all week long. However, he was facing a driver from Cave City, Arkansas who had cut his teeth driving on dry slick conditions that resemble asphalt more than dirt. Jeff Taylor had already won two Tour features so everyone knew "the animal" was coming and Hank knew his lead could evaporate quickly if he didn't race aggressively while keeping the #25 qualified without that DNF he just couldn't risk to make his week complete. Both drivers qualified, along with 24 others that looked like a who's who of modified racing talent. As expected, Taylor wasted no time getting to the front while passing his teammate Aaron Turnbull after five laps of racing in the long 30 lap feature. Berry had to stay in the top 10 and he was comfortably racing in 4th place—well within sight of the aggressive Taylor who started to get into lap traffic. Taylor battled traffic wel,l but Berry put his 30 plus years of experience to good use staying out of trouble for that needed top 10 finish. At races end it was Taylor taking the win, but Berry held on for fourth to get his fourth Tour title—more than any other driver in its long 23 year history. Taylors win was good for $1200, along with another $100 bill from Tour sponsor Kupper Chevrolet of Mandan, and a $500 bonus kicked in by Mott Agronomy and its "No Farms-No Food" program. The #5 driver took over $4,000 back home to Arkansas for his week's work. However, it was Berry who received the lion's share of the contingency prizes provided by title sponsor Dakota Trackside, the Tour's sponsors, and contingency awards provided by IMCA. Rounding out the top five were Taylor, Aaron Turnbull of Estevan, SK., John Hanson of Brush, CO, Berry, and Will Brack of Mead, CO. A total of 98 drivers competed at the five nights of the Tour as night four at Williston was rained out. The IMCA Stock Car division of the Tour had a solid contingent of drivers from a wide geographical area. Steven Pfeifer of Minot came into the night with a slight two point lead over Shawn Havel of Algoma, WI. Both drivers qualified from their preliminary heats in good shape for the 25 lap feature. However, early in the feature Pfeifer cut down a tire, forcing him to go to the pits to change it before he could re-enter in last place. Havel gained the lead racing hard with eventual runner-up Kelly Henderson of Minot, but the #9 machine took his fortunes into Fans who want to see great footage of the series are encouraged to go to www.IMCAondemand.com to see this new website that made its debut during the Tour. Complete results, points and Tour photos of cars and winners can be found at www.dakotaclassicmodtour.com Tentative dates for the 24th annual Tour have already been set for July 13-19, 2013. Negotiations are already underway to add Jamestown Speedway to the series next year to either start or end the six day Tour. |
23rd Annual Dakota Trackside Modified Tour Ready to Go This Sunday in Minot
by correy, posted 07/05/2012 - 09:57 AM » Current News
Mandan, ND—Without the threat of a flood or construction of a grandstand, the 23rd Annual Tour is set to go this Sunday at Nodak Speedway in Minot, ND. Pre-registrations have already beat previous Tour bests in both IMCA divisions, with drivers from 10 US states and three Canadian provinces signed up to race. |

Hurray! Artist Bob Staake has a follow-up to his terrific kids' book, Look! A Book! It's called, Look! Another Book! Here's what I wrote about Bob last year:
Bob Staake has long been one of my favorite illustrators. He's done a lot of covers for the New Yorker, as well as a bunch of terrific kids books. His latest book, Look! A Book!, is filled with colorful two-page spreads, each loaded with dozens of seek-and-find objects. It's my favorite book of his so far. My seven-year-old daughter and I had a great time going through this visual treat.
As I've mentioned before, Bob does all of his illustration work using Photoshop 3. He doesn't use a stylus, and instead does everything with a mouse. Here's a video of Bob's process - it's amazing.
After the jump, you can see two additional page spreads from Look! Another Book!

Those of you who were readers of the Global Sociology Blog know that I am a strong fan of Manuel Castells (who isn't). I started reading the book on the left, Networks of Outrage and Hope: Social Movements in The Internet Age. No surprise here, Castells has always emphasized the importance of social movements in the network society as resistance to increasing political and corporate power.
This particular book though is not one of these monumental Weberian treatises that Castells has produced over the last decades. Rather, it is a work of public sociology, aimed at a general audience. The choice of this topic is well in line with Castells's interest, amplified by his loose involvement with Spanish indignidados movement in response to Spain's economic collapse and subsequent drastic austerity measures that have devastated society.
Because social movements are always about resistance to some form of power, Castells begins the book by defining this concept, so important in sociology:

Saint Anselm Claims Third Straight Northeast-10 Ice Hockey Championship
For Immediate Release
March 3, 2012
Courtesy of Saint Anselm College Athletics Communications Staff
Manchester, N.H. - Saint Anselm College collected its third straight Northeast-10 Conference Men's Ice Hockey Championship following a 4-1 victory over the Skyhawks of Stonehill College Saturday afternoon at the Thomas F. Sullivan Arena. With the victory, the Hawks earn their seventh conference championship in program history and conclude their season with a 14-8-5 overall record. The Skyhawks see their season come to a close with a record of 10-12-3.
Saint Anselm sophomore goaltender Robert Kang earned Most Outstanding Player recognition for his performance throughout the Northeast-10 Conference Championship, as he only allowed one goal while making 54 saves in 120 minutes.
Forward Tucker Mullin scored what would prove to be the game-winning goal at 16:16 of the first period, lifting Saint Anselm to a 2-0 lead. With the offense firmly entrenched in the Stonehill zone, a shot by forward Sean Jenkins was kicked away to the left-wing corner. Gathering the puck, Mullin skated along the goal line and fired a tough-angle shot that beat Stonehill goaltender Chris Tasiopoulos for the score.
Freshman forward Liam McKillop scored the first goal of the afternoon for either side at 4:26 of the first period, placing Saint Anselm on the scoreboard first. Mullin initiated the play in the neutral zone, passing the puck forward to Jenkins, who entered the zone on a two-on-one breakout with McKillop. Passing across the slot at the last possible second, McKillop forced the puck past Tasiopoulos for his 11th of the season.
Forward Kevin Vanous scored the Hawks third goal of the game at 13:42 of the second period, granting the Hawks a 3-0 advantage. From below the goal line, McKillop sent a puck between the hash marks to where Vanous had established position. A one-time shot eluded the grasp of Tasiopoulos for Saint Anselm's third goal of the game. Forward John Hyslip also collected an assist on the play.
With Saint Anselm defenseman Ryan Holley in the box for hooking, Stonehill forward Bill Carey scored to place the Skyhawks on the scoreboard. Retrieving a loose puck from the right wing corner, Carey skated toward the right post and forced a puck past Kang for the first goal Saint Anselm allowed in the postseason. Dana Borges and Bryan Rooney collected assists on the play for Stonehill.
Saint Anselm forward Johnny Daniels scored his ninth goal of the season at 3:47 of the third period. A Stonehill defender turned the puck over in the left-wing corner and Daniels strode forward to gather the loose puck. Skating toward the left post, Daniels picked the top corner on Tasiopoulos for the score. Forwards Tim King and Mike Richard tallied assists on the play.
In net for the Hawks, Kang (10-2-3) turned aside 22-of-23 shots on net, earning his 10th victory of the season. Tasiopoulos (8-10-1) drew his 10th loss of the year, halting 32-of-36 shots on goal.
Saint Anselm was 1-for-3 on the power play. Stonehill was 1-for-5 with the man advantage.

LOS ANGELES — With its purchase of left-leaning Current TV, the Pan-Arab news channel Al-Jazeera has fulfilled a long-held quest to reach tens of millions of U.S. homes. But its new audience immediately got a little smaller.
The nation's second-largest TV operator, Time Warner Cable Inc., dropped Current after the deal was confirmed Wednesday, a sign that the channel will have an uphill climb to expand its reach.
"Our agreement with Current has been terminated and we will no longer be carrying the service. We are removing the service as quickly as possible," the company said in a statement.
Still, the acquisition of Current, the news network that cofounded by former Vice President Al Gore, boosts Al-Jazeera's reach in the U.S. beyond a few large U.S. metropolitan areas including New York and Washington nearly ninefold to about 40 million homes.
Gore confirmed the sale Wednesday, saying in a statement that Al-Jazeera shares Current TV's mission "to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."
Al-Jazeera, owned by the government of Qatar, plans to gradually transform Current into a network called Al-Jazeera America by adding five to 10 new U.S. bureaus beyond the five it has now and hiring more journalists. More than half of the content will be U.S. news and the network will have its headquarters in New York, spokesman Stan Collender said.
Collender said there are no rules against foreign ownership of a cable channel — unlike the strict rules limiting foreign ownership of free-to-air TV stations. He said the move is based on demand, adding that 40 percent of viewing traffic on Al-Jazeera English's website is from the U.S.
"This is a pure business decision based on recognized demand," Collender said. "When people watch Al-Jazeera, they tend to like it a great deal."
Previous to Al-Jazeera's purchase, Current TV was in 60 million homes. It is carried by Comcast Corp., which owned less than a 10 percent stake in Current TV, as well as DirecTV. Neither company announced plans to drop the channel.
In 2010, Al-Jazeera English's managing director, Tony Burman, blamed a "very aggressive hostility" from the Bush administration for reluctance among cable and satellite companies to show the network. Continued...
Even so, Al-Jazeera has garnered respect for its ability to build a serious news product in a short time. In a statement announcing the deal, it touted numerous U.S. journalism awards it received in 2012, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award Grand Prize and the Scripps Howard Award for Television/Cable In-Depth Reporting.
But there may be a culture clash at the network. Dave Marash, a former "Nightline" reporter who worked for Al-Jazeera in Washington, said he left the network in 2008 in part because he sensed an anti-American bias there.
Al-Jazeera English went on the air in November 2006. It moved quickly to establish a strong presence on the Internet, launching web streaming services and embracing new social media services such as Twitter in part to compensate for its lack of a presence on U.S. airwaves.
The English news network has a different news staff and a separate budget from the Arabic network, which launched in 1996. They and the company's growing stable of other Al-Jazeera branded channels are overseen by Sheik Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani, a member of Qatar's royal family.
Sheik Ahmed took over last year following the abrupt resignation of the company's longtime Palestinian head, Wadah Khanfar, who was widely credited with helping build Al-Jazeera into an influential global brand. In his departure note to staff, he said he was leaving behind "a mature organization" that "will continue to maintain its trailblazing path."
Both the English and the Arabic channels actively covered the protests, violence and political upheaval that have become known as the Arab Spring.
Current, meanwhile, began as a groundbreaking effort to promote user-generated content. But it has settled into a more conventional format of political talk television with a liberal bent. Gore worked on-air as an analyst during its recent election night coverage.
Its leading personalities are former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Cenk Uygur, a former political commentator on MSNBC who hosts the show called "The Young Turks." Current signed Keith Olbermann to be its top host in 2011 but his tenure lasted less than a year before it ended in bad blood on both sides.
Current has largely been outflanked by MSNBC in its effort be a liberal alternative to the leading cable news network, Fox News Channel.
Current hired former CNN Washington bureau chief David Bohrman in 2011 to be its president. Bohrman pushed the network to innovate technologically, with election night coverage that emphasized a conversation over social media. Continued...
Current TV, founded in 2005 by former vice president Gore and Joel Hyatt, is expected to post $114 million in revenue in 2013, according to research firm SNL Kagan. The firm pegged the network's cash flow at nearly $24 million a year.

Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns |
Platform: Genesis
Genre: Action (Platformer) Developer: Tiertex Design Studios AKA: Strider II (EU), Strider II (AU) |
Publisher Region Released |
Reviewed by Marc Golding (December 21, 2003) Sega's Strider was every bit as engaging as Capcom had made it in the arcades. Truly, it was a memorable experience with only two weaknesses worth mentioning: the length of the adventure, and the limitations of the hero's jumping abilities. Strider 2 does nothing to correct the former but admirably corrects the latter. Not bad then, right? Well, it wouldnt be, but remember the aforementioned strengths of the original game? You know, the beautiful scenes and sounds? Well forget about them. Theyre gone. |

CHICAGO - Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka announced the formation of a 10-member Polish Advisory Council to consult her on matters of importance to the community and work with the Comptroller's office to address those concerns.
Specifically, Topinka announced that Polish Advisory Council members include: Anna Zolkowski Sobor, President of the Old Irving Park Association, Dr. Jozef Mazurek, President of the Polish American Medical Association of Chicago, Krysztof Hanusiak, Niles trustee and owner of Royal Kitchen and Bath Cabinets, Maria Ciesla, President of the Polish Museum of America, Stanley Jendzejec, past Vice President of the Polish National Alliance, and Tomasz Surma, President of the Polish American Police Association.

State Treasurer Dan Rutherford took the time to write to PAPA. Here is his letter:
Dear Tom,
I wish the people of Poland the warmest wishes of success on the 93rd anniversary of the nation's independence.
Since the early days of this country, Polish people have contributed greatly to our nation. Generals Kosciuszko and Pulaski for instance, provided our revolutionary armies with training that was instrumental in beating the British and securing our own independence. Today, Polish troops fight alongside National Guard troops from Illinois and other US military units in Iraq and Afghanistan in the global war on terror.
Poles have made a lasting impact around the world as well. Since 1918, nineteen people of Polish descent have been awarded the Nobel Prize. During that same period, at least two Poles have gone on to become heads of state of other countries (Israel and The Holy See) and one of those became Pope. Poland has excelled in education as well, boasting a literacy rate of over 99 percent.
Poland has been a leader in democracy and equality too. It created the first democratic constitution of any European country and the Polish constitution is the second oldest one in history. And just recently, Polish parliament chose their first female speaker.
I am honored to be treasurer of the state with the highest concentration of Polish people outside of Poland. Throughout our shared histories, Poland has been an invaluable partner. I look forward to continued partnerships with my Polish friends to bring prosperity to our respective constituencies.
Dan Rutherford
