Breaking down the Charlotte series
Charlotte owns home-ice advantage but the Oklahoma City Barons will be favored in a first-round, best-of-five Western Conference AHL series.
The primary reason? Experience in goal.
The Barons have Yann Danis, last year's AHL Goaltender of the Year. The 32-year-old veteran with 148 career AHL wins has gone 10-3-3 with a 1.77 goals against average and .931 saves percentage since he returned from Edmonton six weeks ago.
The Checkers' top two goalies — Justin Peters and Dan Ellis — are in the NHL with Carolina. Peters might return but the club might not want to expose him to waivers.
Charlotte might be forced to ride Rob Madore, who spent most of the year in Double-A. But Madore has played well since a late-season call-up, going 5-3-2 with a 1.83 GAA and .951 saves percentage.
The primary reason the Barons are favored is they've been the league's hottest team, going 13-3-3 since March 10th. The Barons have outshot 14 of their last 15 opponents.
"Now is the time to get hot," said center Mark Arcobello. "We're peaking. It's a great sign. We just want to keep it going. It won't be easy. You have to take it one game at a time. But we'll have a good shot if we play the way we've been playing."
The key to the series could be which team wins the special teams battle. In the 30-team AHL Charlotte ranks third in penalty killing (86.5 percent) and fifth in power play production (20.2 percent), the top combination in the league.
But stats can be deceiving. Oklahoma City has the No. 1 power play unit (21.6 percent) but hasn't been as productive since Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz returned to Edmonton after the NHL lockout.
The Barons are 30th, dead last, in penalty killing but has been the league's best unit as of late, killing 43 of the last 44 penalties the past xx games, a 97.7 percent clip.
"Our (good) penalty kill and (improved) defensive play has to continue," Nelson said. "All the things we've been doing down the stretch we have to stay consistent in the playoffs. If we do that we'll have an opportunity to win. But it should be a good series."
The Checkers have home-ice advantage but the Barons are 8-1-2 on the road the past six weeks. And Oklahoma City won three of four in Charlotte.
Still, it puts pressure on the lower seeded team if it doesn't sweep the first two games at home with Games 3, 4 and 5 on the road.
"Obviously we want to be in the drivers' seat and win the first two at home," Nelson said. "But we feel pretty comfortable on the road. Down the stretch we had some success on the road. That's comforting. We feel it doesn't matter where we play."
You can't put much stock in eight regular season meetings. The Barons won four of six when Eberle, Hall and Schultz were in OKC.
Charlotte swept two games Jan. 11-12 at the Cox Convention Center but Danis wasn't with the Barons at that time. Plus, it was the week after the NHL lockout ended when the Barons were undergoing a roster makeover.
"We haven't seen each other in quite a while," Nelson said. "One thing we do know is Charlotte is a hard-working team that plays a good system and is good on special teams. But we have such different looks."
Because they've been on the bubble the past month, the Barons have been in a playoff mindset the past four weeks.
"That helps," Nelson said. "But it should be a good series. We have a lot of similarities. Both teams play their system well. Special teams will be the key… But we feel good about it based on our play as of late.
"But the thing about is the playoffs are a clean slate. We just have to be consistent and play the way we've been playing."
Head to head stats: The two teams split eight regular season meetings, each team winning three games on the road.
Philippe Cornet scored eight points for OKC in seven games against Charlotte. Arcobello, who finished third in the league, scored six points. Jonathan Cheechoo, signed mid-season, scored five points in five games. Toni Rajala scored five points in eight games.
Charlotte's leading scorer, left winger Chris Terry, has 60 points for the season and scored eight points in eight games against the Barons. Zac Dalpe scored six points in four games.
Redhot Barons can clinch playoff berth
The Oklahoma City Barons are in good shape to reach the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
Regardless how other playoff contenders fare the Barons automatically earn a playoff berth if they collect three standings points in three home games this weekend — games Friday night and Saturday night against Abbotsford and a Sunday matinee against Houston.
Oklahoma City can clinch a berth Friday night with a win over Abbotsford and a Rockford loss.
"This weekend is pretty important," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "Basically our fate is in our hands. I'd like to take care of it Friday night. I don't want to be sitting around Sunday night and watch other scores from around the league. Friday night will be very important."
The Barons, 8-2-2 in their last dozen games, could be a dangerous draw as a lower seed. The past five weeks they've been as hot as any team in the American Hockey League.
"The last couple of months we've been playing similar to the way we were playing last year," Nelson said, referring to a run to the Western Conference finals. "We've been getting contributions from different people. All the guys are doing the little things. That has to continue."
Oklahoma City has outshot opponents in 11 of its last 12 games, allowing only 24 shots a game.
The penalty kill unit has been near flawless. The Barons have allowed only one power goal the last 34 times they've played with a man disadvantage, a dazzling 97.0 penalty kill percentage their last 14 games.
"It's been everything," Nelson said. "We've really improved defensively and our guys have been doing a good job on the penalty kill," Nelson said. "That's been drastically improved. Our power play, even though we didn't score the past game has been chipping in every now and then."
Schultz named AHL Defenseman of the Year
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz played only three months with the Oklahoma City Barons but was so dominant he has been named the American Hockey League's Defenseman of the Year, entitled the Eddie Shore Award.
Schultz scored 48 points, including 30 assists, in 34 games with the Barons. During his three-month stay in OKC Schultz tied the franchise record by scoring at least one point in 10 consecutive games. He also had a nine-game point scoring streak.
Schultz is the first rookie in the 55-year history of the AHL award to earn the honor. Since joining the Oilers after the NHL lockout ended, Schultz has scored 21 points in 42 games with Edmonton. He's the NHL's top scoring rookie defenseman.
After three seasons at the University of Wisconsin, Schultz became a free agent through a loophole and signed with Edmonton last summer. He began his pro career in OKC during the NHL lockout.
Schultz's specialty is special teams, a rare blue liner who can quarterback the power play. Of his 48 points with the Barons 25 came with the man advantage which still leads the Barons in power-play production. He also accounted for two of the Barons' five shorthanded goals this season.
Despite spending half the season in the NHL Schultz has received four AHL awards. Last week he was named to the All Rookie Team and also was named a first team AHL All Star.
While in OKC Schultz was named AHL Player of the Month in October and selected the AHL Rookie of the Month in November.
Barons to honor military Friday night
The Oklahoma City Barons are celebrating military and first responder service Friday night during their home game against the Abbotsford Heat.
Even though the game starts at 7 p.m. festivities start at 3:45 when a group of Oklahoma City police and fire fighters square off with a group of police and fire fighters from Dallas. The winner earns the Chad Peery Cup, named for the Oklahoma City police officer permanently injured two years ago attempting to break up an altercation.
Fans wishing to attend the 3:45 p.m. game are asked to enter the building after 3:15 p.m. at the northeast entrance. Seating for the Guns-N-Hoses game is limited to sections on the east side of the Cox Convention Center.
A portion of the proceeds from tickets purchased through the Barons office will benefit the Chad Peery Foundation. Fans will need to mention "Guns n Hoses" when calling the Barons office for the funds to be donated to his foundation. Representatives from the Chad Peery Foundation will have a presence on the concourse during the game. Donations will be accepted during the game.
The first 3,000 fans will receive red, white and blue rally towels with the Barons logo.
For the second consecutive season, the Barons are participating in their Seats for Soldiers program. Individuals or companies may purchase tickets for Friday's game that will be donated to local retired and active duty military service men and women. Last season, the Barons donated over 500 tickets.
Davidson wins AHL sportsmanship, determination award
Barons defenseman Brandon Davidson, who returned after undergoing cancer treatment during the season, has been named the 2012-13 winner of the Fred Hunt Memorial Award as the American Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.
Davidson was diagnosed with testicular cancer early in the season and returned to play three months after the initial diagnosis. In November, Davidson had the cancerous tissue removed and underwent one round of chemotherapy.
Following successful treatment, the 21-year-old Davidson returned to the Barons lineup in February. Primarily a defenseman, Davidson started that game and played the first shift as a forward.
Davidson was assigned by the Edmonton Oilers' to their ECHL affiliate in Stockton, Calif., to work on his game. With Stockton he scored 12 points in 11 games. He was promoted to Oklahoma City on March 10 and has been a valuable member of a young defensive corps that's improved significantly late in the season.
The Oilers' sixth round draft choice, selected 162nd overall in the 2010 draft, Davidson has scored five points in 22 games with the Barons.
Th Hunt award, voted on by coaches, players and members of the media in each of the league's 30 cities, was first presented by the AHL in 1978. It honors the late Fred T. Hunt, who won three Calder Cup championships as a player and three more as a general manager during a career spent primarily with the AHL's Buffalo Bisons.
This is the second time a member of the Barons, in their third season, has won the award. Bryan Helmer earned the award during the 2010-11 season.
Oilers fire GM Tambellini
The Edmonton Oilers, NHL affiliate of the Triple-A Oklahoma City Barons, fired general manager Steve Tambellini on Monday, announcing former coach Craig MacTavish will replace Tambellini.
The change won't affect the Barons. In fact, Kevin Lowe, the Oilers president of hockey operations, pointed out during the press conference the Barons are on the brink of making the playoffs for the third consecutive season. He added the organization is encouraged about the future based on players that have made progress in Oklahoma City the past three seasons.
Edmonton has seven games remaining during an 48-game abbreviated season that was delayed by the NHL lockout which ended in early January. But after losing their past three games it appears the Oilers will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year.
Lowe reiterated the organization's young nucleus has a bright future, including several players that played with the Barons three months during the NHL lockout, young stars like Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Justin Schultz.
MacTavish played in the NHL for 17 seasons and coached the Oilers from 2000-2009. MacTavish was hired last summer as vice president of hockey operations.
"We are not where we want to be or should be," Lowe said at the press conference. We felt it was important to make changes right now."
Plante wins Barons Man of the Year award
Barons defenseman Alex Plante has been named the team's Specialty Man of the Year for his contributions to the Oklahoma City community and will be one of 30 finalists for the American Hockey League Yanick Dupre award.
One of six players who has played parts of all three seasons the Barons have been in Oklahoma City, Plante and other teammates have been actively involved in Special Olympics Oklahoma as part of the Barons Buddies program which pairs a player with a Special Olympics athlete.
This season Plante was paired with Macey. The bond between the two extends beyond four organized events. Plante has actively been involved with Macey's family, including visits to her house on a regular basis and attending some of her occupational therapy classes.
Plante also volunteered to be part of a public service announcement that asks citizens to not use "the R word" when referring to Special Olympics athletes.
The Brandon, Manitoba, product also has been active the Oklahoma City Youth Hockey Association.
The winner of the AHL Man of the Year award will be announced on April 18. The award is named after Yanick Dupre, a former AHL All-Star who died in 1997 following a 16-month battle with leukemia.
Schultz named All-AHL first team
Barons defenseman Justin Schultz, who played less than half a season in the American Hockey League before the NHL lockout ended, was named first-team All-AHL on Thursday.
Although he hasn't played in the AHL since Jan. 5, joining the Edmonton Oilers after the NHL lockout ended, Schultz scored 48 points, including 18 goals in 34 games with the Barons.
Schultz still leads all AHL defenseman in scoring despite playing with Edmonton the past three months. He's tied for third among AHL rookies.
The former Wisconsin University star has scored 20 points in 34 games with Edmonton. Schultz is sixth among NHL rookies in scoring, easily the top scoring NHL rookie defenseman.
This is the third consecutive season the Barons have had a player named to the AHL first team. Forward Alex Giroux made it in 2010-11 and Yann Danis was the first team goaltender last season.
Barons sign Stretch
The Oklahoma City Barons have signed C.J. Stretch to a player tryout contract. This is Stretch's second stint with the Barons.
Stretch, who has spent most of the season with the Ontario Reign in the ECHL, scored six points in 10 games with the Barons.
Stretch scored 62 points in 60 games with Ontario, including five goals in Ontario's four-game sweep of the Utah Grizzlies in the first round of the ECHL Kelly Cup playoffs.
Before turning pro, Stretch played five seasons with the Camloops Blazers in the Western Hockey League, scoring 248 points in 341 games in four full seasons.
Schultz named to AHL All-Rookie team
Defenseman Justin Schultz played less than half a season in the American Hockey League before the NHL lockout but played so well in 34 games with the Oklahoma City Barons that he's still among the top scorers which is why he was named to the AHL All-Rookie team on Wednesday.
A free agent who signed with the Edmonton Oilers last summer after three years at Wisconsin University, Schultz scored 48 points, including 18 goals for the Barons. Schultz remarkably still leads all AHL defenseman in scoring despite playing with Edmonton the past three months. He's tied for third among all AHL rookies.
It's highly likely Schultz also will be named to the NHL All-Rookie team.
In 34 games with the Edmonton Oilers Schultz has scored 20 points. Schultz is sixth among NHL rookies in scoring, easily the top scoring rookie defenseman.
When Schultz left Oklahoma City after the NHL lockout ended he was second in the AHL in scoring behind Barons teammate Jordan Eberle.

Wow this would be hilarious to roll up to at an intersection!
Footage of a cop fighting a CLOWN in downtown Milwaukee on Friday is making the rounds online. First the clown tackled the cop to the sidewalk. Then the cop started punching him in the side of the head.
The guy in the clown outfit was eventually arrested. Apparently he was a local activist who'd been protesting something outside City Hall. According to police, there were complaints about him chasing after cars with a squirt gun.

D86 Board to Vote on Canceling Hallway Improvements Project
More than $370,000 in main hallway improvements at both schools could be deferred if the board goes with the recommendation of its facilities committee.
The District 86 Board of Education's facilities committee recommended after a three-hour meeting Thursday that the board direct administration to rebid several previously approved summer projects and defer others to future years, board member and facilities committee chairman Ed Corcoran said. Among the items that the committee wants to defer is $372,000 in main hallway renovations at Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South that would include new lighting, flooring, and paint. "Those projects are being recommended to be deferred until we are able to review the cost for doing that on a campus-wide basis," said Corcoran, who serves on the committee along with Michael Kuhn and Richard Skoda. Corcoran, an engineer who was elected to the board in …

Sue - this project and others need further review and we have no information on what this project costs if the entire school was remodeled in this manner. There should be no panic and all measures of prudence and review should be undertaken to protect both students and taxpayers. The Remodeling project is much more than painting - it is new flooring, locker painting and maintenance, new lighting…   more ›

Hi-Tension (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 600635) Island/Robinsongs (UK), 1978 — Condition: New Copy
A sweet set from the early years of the UK funk scene – the smoking debut from Hi Tension, and a set that's filled with sharp numbers throughout! There's a strong jazzy undercurrent to the music – a bit like some of the sounds you might hear from the Fantasy Records scene – no surprise, since those records were always huge on the British scene – and quite possibly had an influence on the direction of Hi Tension here – with tight rhythms on the bottom, complicated jazzy changes on the instrumentation, and some tight horn parts that really soar along strongly with the vocals! Lyrics are mostly presented in an ensemble mode – produced warmly, with almost an Earth Wind & Fire mode – and the album was put together by Kofi Ayivor of Osibisa, with a slight touch of Afro funk in the mix. Tracks include the classics "Hi Tension" and "British Hustle" – plus "Autumn Love", "You're My Girl", "Power & Lightning", "Peace On Earth", and "Unspoken". CD features bonus tracks – "British Hustle (7" version)", "Hi Tension (7" version)", and "Girl I Betcha". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Ireland hope for O'Connell boost
6 Nov 2012
Ireland are hoping that veteran lock and sometime skipper Paul O'Connell will make a timely recovery ahead of Saturday's Test against the Springboks.
O'Connell and prop Cian Healy took full part in Monday's training session. It is a good sign for the Irish, although reports from the Emerald Isle suggest that a final call on the pair's availability will only be made later in the week.
Ireland have already lost captain Brian O'Driscoll, Stephen Ferris, Rob Kearney and Rory Best to serious injuries. If O'Connell is cleared later this week, he will in all likelihood lead the team against the Boks.
In other team news, Simon Zebo is expected to start at No 15 in place of Kearney. The Ireland selectors have decided not to call up Felix Jones.
New Zealand-born prop Michael Bent is likely to start from the bench. Before moving to Leinster, Bent played for the Hurricanes and Taranaki in New Zealand. He qualifies to play for Ireland through his maternal grandmother.

1. | lovesick | ||
A deep, often depressing, feeling of wanting to find love; to be loning for love; to be without a companion to share ones life with, though it is desired deeply.
(Don't believe the other definition that has all those thumbs up for saying it is being in love and "drawing hearts in the sand" and stuff, becauase that is the opposite, that is lovestruck, not lovesick). Lovesick is like homesick.
Homesick people are away from home but want to be home. Lovesick people are away from love and want to be in love. |
lovesick images | |||
2. | lovesick | ||
So deeply affected by love as to be unable to act normally. You awake every morning, thinkin on your love, having dreamt of them all night, the pain of seperation searing your heart every time a site or smell brings back the memory of your last encounter. Daydreaming, drawing hearts in the sand, constantly thinking "I wish they were here so I could share this moment" even when pulling weeds or walking the dog. The consuming fire within the heart for even one more moment with ones love that defies rational thought, knowing full well, one moment would never be enough, yearning for eternity together.
Russ was so lovesick, even his friends and family noticed he wasn't acting normally. Drawing hearts in the sand, daydreaming, bragging on this wonderful woman he had met. It became evident that even 3,000 miles wouldnt keep him from his love.
3. | lovesick | ||
Without a partner, lover, etc: To be tired of love, to miss being in love, to be heartbroken, to want someone to love, to want to be loved back.
With a partner, lover, etc: To miss your lover, to want to be with them more, to want to see them, to not be able to keep your mind off them. Im lovesick. I doodled her name in all my books, her name spinning in my mind, up until it made me cry.
4. | lovesick | ||
So deeply affected by love as to be unable to act normally. It may be reciprocated or unreciprocated.
When it comes to studies or work, you get distracted and misfocus easily cos the face of your crush appears in your mind every millisecond. Your mind is preoccupied with thoughts of s/he. You will eventually begin to find it hard to enjoy your everyday life and would rather be alone and think of s/he. Slowly, your social life and you school/work life will be affected. You will be more interested in the person's life more than the lives of the people around you, in fact, your 99.999% of your mind is filled with thoughts of him/her. Whenever you are out of your house, you will hope to see him/her. Unknowingly, after your work/school, you will appear at places where both of you met or the places where you think s/he might have a higher possibility of appearing. You begin to be very conscious about your every move and seem to be always smiling when you are near him. If you admire him from afar, you may rehearse the moments when both your eyes are met. You will begin to have a terribe habit of trying to "overananalyzing" the person's every move, finding evidence that s/he is secretly in love with you too. When you start to think that s/he might not even know your existence or might not even like you a tiny puny bit, you become unreasonably depressed.When it comes to studies or work, you get distracted and misfocus easily cos the face of your crus... |
5. | Lovesick | ||
To be lovesick is to deviate from physical and emotional 'normality'. In other words, you walk around like the walking dead, feeling empty, chest crushing, longing for that special someone. That special someone doesn't have to be a love interest. It could be a relative you've loved and lost, it could be a friend you've loved and have separated from.
When you're lovesick, you dream and think about person X a lot. Of course, that is just another symptom of lovesickness. Life for the lovesick is just one big question mark.

6. | Lovesick | ||
To be lovesick means to suffer from an unrequitted love or deception. Lovesickness has its own symptons, such as insomnia, depression, loss of appetite, loss of interest in everyday life and work, obsessive thoughts, mental intrusions and a frequent inclination to cry. In the past, lovesickness was commonly recognized and diagnosed by doctors as an inhabilitating illness and received its own prescriptions. In spanish lovesick means "mal de amor" and in latinamerican countries such as Colombia or Mexico it has its special celebrating day. "I feel so lovesick that I will not be able to go to the office. I´m not in the mood even to dress up!"

The new BlackBerry 10, which debuts on Jan. 30, 2013 is RIM's last attempt at remaining relevant in a smartphone market dominated by Android and iPhone. The company, who once dominated the market with its email and messaging platform looks to establish itself now as a secondary, viable alternative to iPhone and Android devices.
A prototype of the touch screen version of the BlackBerry 10 was demonstrated late Wednesday at the USA TODAY bureau and resembled the iPhone in shape although the aesthetics of the final version is yet to be confirmed. It will come in two versions: a hard keyboard and a touch screen with a 4.2 inch display that boasts a 12-24 hour battery life.
There are some cool new features to look forward to, such as a more intuitive auto correct, an 8 megapixel that reports comparable images in poor lighting conditions much like Iphone 5 or Nokia Lumia 920s, a brand new voice control application – RIM's answer to Siri and basically a host of virtual tools that strike a "balance" between your work and personal stuff.
Keep in mind that anyone who's been able to get their hands on one of these can only comment on the demo version which is likely to be missing the full spectrum of the final product, something that RIM would most likely want to keep under wraps until the launch date. Shares seem to be in agreement that RIM may have a legitimate winner on their hands with stocks now trading at around $12 which is up nearly 80% since late September. Looks like the embattled RIM still has some life left in it…however if it fails to sell as expected… it could be R.I.P for RIM.
Check out some new features of the Blackberry 10:

Marié Digby is all sorts of lovely and enchanting. From her soft, beguiling voice to her delicately pretty face, she's everything you'd expect from a life-sized chanteuse-Tinkerbell. The Japanese and Irish American songstress holds a sovereign position in the World Wide Web as well. She debuted her homemade acoustic adaptation of Rhianna's Umbrella on YouTube on May 29, 2007, and has garnered more than 16.8 millions views to date. Since then, she has grown as an artist and performer and has advanced onto much larger platforms.
In the past three years, Digby has released three studio albums — her debut album Unfold, on April 8, 2008; a collection of Japanese cover songs Second Home, on March 4, 2009; and her second U.S. album Breathing Underwater on September 8, 2009. Recently, she's been making waves on stage through her appearances at Lilith Fair, as well as online with the release of her 17-episode web-series Breathing Underwater The Movie, named after her newest album.
Lilith Fair, which was founded in 1997 to celebrate women in music, is the largest and highest grossing all-female touring music festival. After a decade-long hiatus, Lilith Fair returned to the road this summer with its 2010 tour. With an original roster of prominent female artists such as Sarah McLachlan (co-founder of the Lilith Fair), Christina Aguilera, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, The Dixie Chicks, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Jewel and Nelly Furtado, to name a few, the 2010 summer tour included Digby in its ever-expanding list of top female musical performers of the day.
While the 2010 Lilith Fair is having its grand finale today at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Washington D.C., viewers can still find Digby in her musical film Breathing Underwater through ABC's Music Lounge. The film, which is divided into 17 episodes, premiered on July 1, 2010, with new three to five minute episodes released every few days. (The final episode airs today.) The film is a compilation of inspirations and stories chronicling Digby's life during the recording of her album Breathing Underwater. All the tracks from the namesake album are featured in the web-series to help dramatize Digby's emotions and experiences during that time.
Check out the trailer here:
For more on Marié Digby and the Lilith Fair, check out her official ABC blog.
If you want to see Marié Digby live, and you're in the Los Angeles area, she'll be performing at Kollaboration Acoustic 4 on August 27, 2010 at the Ford Theatre. Get tickets here.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team outshot host Butler 17-16 this afternoon at the Butler Varsity Field, but neither team could convert its chances in a 0-0 double overtime scoreless tie.
Junior Hannah McGowen led the way for the Skyhawks (1-3-1) with four shots of attempts – two of which were on goal. Midori Sera and Saphyra Coombs-James also recorded three shot attempts each for UT Martin.
Sophomore Mariah Klenke recorded her first shutout of the season and third of her career this afternoon, tallying a pair of saves in all 110 minutes.
Sera fired the Skyhawks' first shot today, but her shot went wide left at the 4:34 mark. After a Dominika Conc attempt was blocked in the 11th minute, Coombs-James put UT Martin's first shot on goal at the 12:59 mark, but Butler goalkeeper Mackenzie Hopkins made the save.
Coombs-James and McGowen combined for three more shot attempts over the next 14:08. Conc delivered a shot on goal off a corner kick in the 30th minute, but Hopkins snared another save.
The action in the first half would soon slow down, with Abi Sanvee attempting the only shot for either side at the 44:54 mark (wide right).
At the break, the Skyhawks had doubled up the Bulldogs in shot attempts (8-4).
Sera and McGowen each broke through for shot attempts within 1:31 of each other to begin the second half, as McGowen's nearly snuck past Hopkins before she recorded the save.
Klenke made her first stop of the day at the 75:10 mark, preserving the 0-0 score. Less than four minutes later, Ashley Reveiz fired a shot on goal but Hopkins was there for the save once again.
With 3:43 left to go in regulation, Sera sent a shot that nearly found the back of the net before hitting the crossbar. That began a late push for UT Martin, as Coombs-James (87:27, high) and McGowen (89:16, Hopkins save) each attempted shots at the end of regulation.
Butler would outshoot UT Martin 3-0 in the first overtime period, but Klenke ensured the game would go into an extra overtime period, making a save at the 94:32 mark.
The Skyhawks were responsible for the first two shots in the double overtime period, as Sanvee had an attempt blocked and Curtis fired a shot that curved right. Butler attempted a pair of shots in the final 17 seconds of the match – including one that hit the post with eight seconds left – but the match ended in a 0-0 tie.
UT Martin concludes its five-match road swing this Friday, Sept. 7 at Arkansas State at 2 p.m. Next Sunday, Sept. 9, the Skyhawks return home for the first time since mid-August to take on in-state rival Lipscomb at 1 p.m.

The airlines will be collecting non-perishable food items to help feed those less fortunate. Organizers say they hope to collect at least 5,000 canned goods.
Regional Food Bank Executive Director Mark Quandt said, "So many people pass through the airport everyday. The key is to make sure they are aware of the food drive. When they come for a flight, bring a few cans along and drop them off with the tellers and it will all add up to a big total."
The Holiday Canned Food Drive runs from December 10-23.

Chris Rostron, Chair of the World Wetland Network, made a closing statement in the name of all present NGOs, insisting on the immense knowledge and advocacy work they are all doing for wetland conservation. Matthew McCartney from IWMI made a speech in the name of Ramsar's five IOPs (IWMI, Wetlands International, WWF International, BirdLife International and IUCN), stressing their concern at the budgetary constraints limiting the work of the Convention. UNEP representative took also the floor to reaffirm its commitment to the Convention.
SG Anada Tiéga addressed the audience to congratulate Herbert Raffaele (Head of US delegation) for his long-standing engagement in wetland conservation and named him a "Wetland Person of International Importance".
COP11 delegates closed the 11th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties by adopting the general report.
Thursday 12 July - In the Plenary
During the 12 July plenary, the Ramsar COP11 Parties spent the morning discussing changes to the draft resolutions that were opened for negotiation in the first days. At the end of the morning plenary, Romfilatelia made a special presentation with the launch of a philatelic collection of Ramsar COP11 stamps. Catalina Ionescu, Marketing Director of the Romfilatelia shared with the participants a good overview of these beautiful new stamps.
The end of the morning session concluded at this point, with DR3, "Procedures for the preparation and approval of decisions by Ramsar Contracting Parties at COP11" formally adopted by the Convention.

4th Day in Plenary - 10 July
The day started with a special presentation by Dr Andrew Farmer of the Institute of European Environmental Policy, who spoke about "The Economics of Ecosystem and Biodiversity" (TEEB), highlighting the value of water and wetlands. His presentation covered many case studies proving the value of conserving and restoring wetlands. Later in the day, TEEB, in partnership with Ramsar, UNEP, and the Institute of European Environmental Policy convened a side event with a focus on "Valuing wetlands - capturing economic benefits from wise use". The executive summary and overall development of the "TEEB for water and wetlands" report were a major point of discussion.
The plenary spent the morning on the next set of Draft Resolutions, continuing from yesterday's work. The group began with a discussion of DR8, "Ramsar Information Sheet and Strategic Framework, 2012 revisions". Dr David Stroud of the STRP gave a brief overview of DR 8 before interventions were made by several countries. After this, the group moved on to DR 9, "An Integrated Framework for avoiding, mitigating, and compensating for wetland losses". This DR relates to a key aspect of the Convention's work and as such, a great number of interventions were made by the Parties.
Heather MacKay, STRP Chair, then spoke about DR10, "Wetlands and Energy Issues". She gave a clear description of the focus of the DR and called attention to some of the finer points of the content.
The afternoon session started with a special presentation by Mr. Michael Scoullos, Chair of Global Water Partnership (GWP) Mediterranean on "Water security and the importance of wetlands as natural infrastructure in water resource management". He made the point that investing in water security is necessary to enhance the natural infrastructure of wetlands. Before starting again on the nine Draft Resolutions left to be discussed, the Head of the UAE Delegation, Mohamed Saif Abdulrahman A. Alafkham Hammoudi, gave a present to SG Anada Tiéga to thank him for his constant support.
Pierre Horwitz, STRP Lead for Wetlands & Human Health introduced DR12 on "Wetlands and health: taking an ecosystem approach", recalling that human health and well-being are dependent upon ecosystems. DR14 on "An Integrated Framework for linking wetland conservation and wise use with poverty eradication" was also opened, while DR15 on climate change went into a contact group yesterday.
STRP Vice-Chair Rebecca D'Cruz introduced the next DR, n°15, on "Agriculture-wetland interactions: rice paddy and pesticide usage". The information paper COP11 DOC 31 recognizes the continuing patterns of pesticide use are damaging biodiversity in production areas and polluting water resources. Many Contracting Parties suggested amendments to this important text.
Three related DRs on technical work (DRs 16, 17 and 18) were introduced by the STRP Chair, Heather MacKay. She referred the audience to info paper 26 and thanked the informal working group for their support. The main objective is to see how the Convention delivers and takes up different kinds of technical support effectively.
DR19 concerns some adjustments to the terms of the structure and composition of the Standing Committee. The last two DRs have been submitted by Contracting Parties, DR20 by Switzerland and DR21 by Iran.
In conclusion, all DRs are going into revisions as Rev1, except for DR4 that is on the status of Ramsar Sites that goes into a Rev.2.
Third Day in Plenary - 9 July
The day started in plenary with a special presentation by Taleb Rifai, Secretary General, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), on the linkages between tourism and wetlands, announcing today's launch of the new publication "Destination Wetlands: Supporting Sustainable Tourism" by UNWTO and the Ramsar Secretariat. Growth in sustainable tourism not only reflects environmental realities, but also a desire from tourists themselves to embrace green tourism. "Today there is no place in the sun that is not visited – it's a reality, we have to face it and deal with it", said Mr Rifai.
The publication can be downloaded here in:
English, French, and Spanish (PDF).
Through 14 cases studies, covering different wetland types around the world, the publication demonstrates how sustainable tourism practices in and around wetlands can contribute to conservation, economic growth, poverty reduction and support to local cultures. Access the case studies here.
Further discussions on the "Institutional Hosting of the Ramsar Secretariat" went on in the plenary. The item of "Regional Initiatives 2013-2015 in the Framework of the Ramsar Convention"was also discussed in the morning, without reaching a concensus on a temporary moratorium on new regional initiatives for 2013-2015.
DSG Nick Davidson introduced the item on "Partnerships and Synergies with MEAs and Other Institutions"and after a few comments by Parties, the Secretariat has to work on a Rev.2 for further consideration.
COP11 Draft Resolution 7 on "Tourism and Wetlands" was introduced, as well as the item on "Climate Change and Wetlands"(COP11 DR14 and Doc.32).
The day ended with delegates heading towards the reception hall for the launch of the publication on tourism and a lucky draw won by an IUCN representative, who will be able to travel to one of the 14 wetlands showcased in the case studies included in the publication. The winning prize was generously offered by MKA, the company that arranged hotels for the Ramsar Secretariat, translators, interpreters, and sponsored delegates.
Second Day in Plenary - 8 July
The second day of Ramsar COP11 was kicked off by a special presentation by Brice Lalonde, the Coordinator of the recent Rio+20 Conference (and former French Minister of Environment in 1988). He shared the implications of the outcomes of Rio+20 for the Ramsar Convention.
The plenary continued with agenda items related to consideration of Draft Resolutions and Recommendations submitted by Contracting Parties and the Standing Committee, the financial report for 2009-2012, the proposed budget for 2013-2015, and election of Parties for the Standing Committee (SC) 2013-2015. The Partnerships Coordinator also gave a brief report.
In plenary, the delegates discussed and intervened on Draft Resolution 1 (DR1), "Institutional hosting of the Ramsar Secretariat". The "straw poll" taken initially was a vote to determine the delegates' willingness to have an indicative vote to show hands on the issue of hosting the Secretariat at IUCN, as it is now, or within UNEP. The results of the indicative vote showed 66 Parties in favour of IUCN hosting, 26 Parties in favour of UNEP hosting, and 18 Parties abstaining.
The agenda also included discussion of COP11 DR 3, "Adjustments to the Strategic Plan 2009-2015 for the 2013-2015 triennium", and COP11 DR 4 Rev. 1, "The status of sites in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance". Several Parties have contributed edits and corrections to these draft resolutions. Revised versions that include Parties' comments and changes will be posted to the website by the Secretariat.
Side events included presentations on "Wetlands monitoring by earth observation satellites – current state of the art", "Responsible management of wetland agro-ecosystems for food security and biodiversity conservation: an urgent global call to reduce pesticide-related risks in rice paddy production systems.", "The MedWet Initiative: twenty years of regional cooperation", and "STRP briefing event: wetlands in a changing climate" among several others.
The day ended with regional meetings for Europe, Oceana/Asia, the Americas, and Africa. The Americas meeting included a special signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ramsar Secretariat and Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles (IAC). The joint activities to be undertaken under this Memorandum includes among others the regularly exchange of information to enable early detection of threats to sea turtles in Ramsar Sites and to support the designation of Wetlands of International Importance that are important for nesting or foraging habitats for sea turtle species.
First Day in Plenary - 7 July
Delegates started the day in the Plenary room by adopting the COP11 provisional agenda and the special presentations planned from 7 to 10 July - See agenda here.
The plenary also considered rules of procedure, elected the President and Vice-Presidents, appointed the Credentials Committee and established the Finance and Budget Committee, and addressed the point on the admission of observers.
Various reports were considered during the rest of the day (the Standing Committee report, special report on the recommendations of the World Wetlands NGO Conference, report of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), and the report on the implementation of the Communication, Education, Participation and Awareness Programme (CEPA) ).
Anada Tiéga presented his report on the "Implementation of the Convention at the Global Level" to the delegates, and the plenary closed with a presentation on wetland conservation ans sustainable use in Romania.
The Plenary ended with James Leape, Director General, WWF International, handing over certificates for the four new Ramsar Sites that were officially designated in Romania to Mr Fâca, COP 11 President.

COP11 theme: Tourism and Wetlands
The Conference will identify what countries need to do at national and local levels to ensure that wetland tourism is sustainable, consistent with the Convention's 'wise use' principle, which will hopefully result in the adoption of a Resolution on tourism and wetlands. (See the Draft Resolution here).
Ramsar and UNWTO Publication: "Destination Wetlands: Supporting Sustainable Tourism". The publication was launched at Ramsar's COP11 in Bucharest on 9 July by Ramsar's Secretary General, Anada Tiéga, the Secretary General of UNWTO, Taleb Rifai, and the Secretary of State for Regional Development and Tourism. This publication contains references to existing guidelines on sustainable tourism as well as many other useful materials on developing and managing sustainable tourism. Read more on tourism and wetlands.
Side events

Britannia Guitars president Marc Alexander became fascinated with Lucite when he saw the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards and Bill Wyman playing translucent Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitars in the Sixties.
Man O' War is the latest series of bass pickups from Lace Music Products. The company has been designing pickups since the late '70s. You're probably familiar with their Lace Sensor pickups found on the iconic Plus series Fender guitars and basses, as well as a few of Eric Clapton's signature Stratocasters.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario tries out the new Rocktron Boutique Series Stomp Boxes, including the Third Angel Distortion, Texas Recoiler and Overdrive Dynamic Blues.
Artist Series Guitar will release 30 of Dio's Holy Diver guitars in July. Finished with Dio's exclusive artwork and built with solid mahogany, the Dio ASG is set with artwork from the classic Holy Diver album. Once the graphic has undergone the ASG-designed, chemical bonding process, the guitar is then clear-coated, wet-sanded and buffed. This process forever seals the custom graphic to the guitar.
Guitar World delivers sonic salvation with a heavenly host of divine and almighty amplifiers.
Many guitar players — at some point — can't help but fall under the spell of the sounds found on classic rock albums of the mid- to late '60s. Players like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend and Robby Krieger were synonymous with wah, fuzz, univibe and/or tremolo. Throw George Harrison and Brian Jones into the mix and you get sitars and other sound- (and mind-) altering effects. They were always experimenting, changing things up, trying to top each other.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario checks out the new THR10 modeling and recording amp from Yamaha, a mini 10-watt stereo combo perfect for the studio.
Railhammer has announced that its Hyper Vintage model pickups are now available with chrome covers. The covers are made of German silver (nickel silver) and are chrome plated. Unlike brass, German silver has a minimal effect on the sound of the pickup.
SKB has announced that Strat/Tele guitar and Precision/Jazz bass cases are available now — only from SKB Corporation. The cases were previously manufactured exclusively for Fender Corporation. The 1SKB-66PRO Rectangular Electric Guitar case accommodates Stratocaster- and Telecaster-shaped models, while the 1SKB-44PRO Electric Bass case will fit Precision- and Jazz-style basses.

Took a family trip to The Butterfly Place in Westford, MA yesterday. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for a picnic. The staff was incredibly informative and were able to tell me what plants to plant in my yard to attract local butterflies. My son loved the puzzles and little plastic bugs in the gift…

South Shore Photographer Danyel Stapleton brings Fresh & Modern Senior Pictures and Newborn Photography to MA & RI
Who's your photographer?
My name is Danyel Stapleton. I am a full time mom and a part time portrait photographer. I have had a passion for the arts as long as I can remember. Photography has been a hobby of mine for a long time. With the birth of my first child, I realized the importance of a photograph to a mother, father and a family. Knowing how important it is for me to remember every little detail of my children, I had to share my passion with others.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I hope to hear from you soon :)

On motion by Mr. Voyles, the Governor's veto of his bill [S. 91] for the more efficient government of the Indiana reform School for Boys, was read. Some of His Excellency's objections are: The terms of office of all but one of the Trustees of the House of Refuge have expired. Dr. William Freeman runs under the appointment until as March 1, 1885 The present bill, however, puts an end to Dr. Freeman's term of office. I refuse to make myself a party to this proceeding, which I would do by giving my approval to the bill now returned. Section 13 provides that boys, for whatever cause committed, may at any time be discharged or released on trial by the Board of Control. In the case of a person convicted of crime, it not being treason or a case of impeachment, the power of pardon resides under the Constitution in the Governor. The Governor may pardon absolutely or conditionally, but the power can not be transferred by the Legislature to any other person or to any body of persons. It is not pleasant to be obliged to differ from a majority of the Legislature on the propriety of the passage of a bill, but it seems to me to be a plain duty to return this bill with an earnest expression of disapproval.
Mr. SPANN hoped the Governor's veto would be sustained. He could not sit by and see such a wrong perpetuated simply for party purposes. The history of this State has not shown so much iniquitous legislation purely and simply for partisan purposes as has been enacted this session. The bill legislates out of office men who have done their duty well and faithfully. There has been no charge against any of them one of them, in whom there is no guile, a brother of a former Governor, who has been honored since his inception into politics, and now in his old age when he asked as a crumb that he be continued in office; they turned out to die, because he would not be controled and whipped in like a dog by Democratic caucuses. Where is the necessity of legislating Finley Bigger out of office? Only for the purpose of satisfying the greed of a party which has been out of power for twenty years. Then it legislates out of office a soldier, who has done his whole duty. The history of the future will bear out toe prophecy that in the next two years soar reformatory institutions will need investigation. Then he believed the bill to be of doubtful Constitutionality.
Mr. FOULKE would leave to Democratic conscience the propriety of passing a bill which purpose it is to legislate out of office an old soldier, who has performed faithfully his duties: but there is a question beyond that the question of the Constitutionality of this bill. It has been claimed all doubt; should be given on the side of the Constitution and against our right to legislate, but in this case there is no doubt the provision against the Constitutionality of this bill is as plain as black and white. The lower of pardon is placed by the Constitution exclusively in the hands of the Governor, while under this bill the Board of Control of this Institution may discharge or release on trial. That can be done by no power in the world but the Executive, and by the letter of the law that bill is unconstitutional.
Mr. VOYLES was surprised any good lawyer would say there was any question at, all of a Constitutional character. This section now objected to has been in the law for sixteen years last past. This bill is a fair and just revision of all laws page: 240[View Page 240] upon this subject. He understands the Republican legislated out of office has been negligent in his duties in being absent from ten out of twenty four meetings of the Board in the past two years.
Mr. YANCEY opposed the bill because it is not of his political complexion. He would not object go seriously in turning out Union soldiers occasionally if the Democratic party were not so much in the habit of turning in soldiers who fought on the other side. To day there are Benevolent Institutions governed by men who did everything in then power to destroy the institutions of their country.
Mr. BUNDY: Compared with some political measures thrust upon us this session, this is a small affair. It is not pretended that the provisions of this bill are an improvement upon the laws of the Statute books. It is policy of Democrats to fill the offices if they can get the. The Insane Asylum of the State of Indiana, so far as subordinate positions are concerned, is a House of Refuge for the Confederate Army. The bill is an outrage and ought not to pass.
Mr. GRAHAM made an objection to the bill when before the Senate originally, that it was in violation to the Constitution. It might prove a serious matter if by this bill this Institution should be left without any government at all. The Senator from Cass the other day admitted the purpose of the bill was to change its management. The Institution was going along very well and there is no complaint of the Statute. governing this Institution. Is not this bill an infamous and high handed outrage, and is there not virtue enough on the Democratic side of the Chamber to say we will go no further in this direction? In the light of this bill he felt like prophesying that in both ends of this General Assembly in two years from now instead of a Democratic a Republican majority will be found.
Mr. HILLIGASS deprecated the wide range of this discussion, especially its political direction. He referred to seven Democratic Senators with honorable discharges from the Union Army, and comes with bad grace for their fellow Senators to charge them with standing cheek by jowl with Confederate soldiers, and that there is nothing that can be admired in the Democratic party. WE have set patiently and listened to such tirades day in and day out till forbearance ceases to be a virtue. He demanded the previous question.
The demand was seconded by yeas, 28; nays, 19, and under the operations of the previous question the bill was passed, the Governor's objections to the contrary notwithstanding, by yeas, 28; nays, 20.
The Senate then adjourned.

The Monastic Brothers and Sisters of Magnolia Grove Monastery
Magnolia Grove Monastery is a residential monastery and is simultaneously, Magnolia Village, a Mindfulness Practice Meditation Center in the tradition of Plum Village, founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, who was nominated for a Noble Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..
Magnolia Grove Monastery in Batesville, Mississippi is the realization of a dream held by a compassionate community intent on establishing a center for mindfulness in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Deer Park Monastery in California and Blue Cliff Monastery in New York uphold his tradition. Now, his teaching and methods of practice are taking root in Mississippi.
Ten years ago Magnolia Grove was little more than 120 acres purchased by a group of committed individuals and families. With hard work, dedication and coordinated effort they created a large meditation hall with an adjoining commercial kitchen to feed participants, and they built by hand a guesthouse to host 120 laypeople. The vision of the community that built this beautiful practice center was more fully realized when Thich Nhat Hanh accepted Magnolia Grove Monastery as a mindfulness practice center in October 2005. Today, more than thirty monastics from Thich Nhat Hanh's monasteries are in residence.
Magnolia Grove Monastery is a place to practice meditation and mindfulness. It is where every breath we take reminds us of the wonders of life. A place to sit and relax. A place to walk and kiss the earth beneath our feet. A place to rest under a willow tree on an island in a lotus pond. A place to eat together and savor every bite. A place to listen deeply to the sounds of life and the sound of our hearts. A place to work together to build a community of love and understanding. Magnolia Grove is a place where we can stop running, and discover peace with every step we take. A place to remind each one of us that the present moment is a wonderful moment.

FPS games are all about skill and precision. One moment you can be eliminating your enemy and the next you can be pinned to wall with bullet holes all over your body. In the FPS universe there is only one game that gives you the skills and ability to defeat anyone in the genre- Counter Strike. With Counter Strike 1: Anthology you won't be just getting Counter Strike, but a lot more that can help develop your special talent.
Counter Strike 1: Anthology is a special edition that has 2 games within one. This edition contains the stand-alone Counter Strike game along with Counter Strike: Condition Zero. The game is targeted towards hard-core gamers and for anyone who loves shooting games. Counter Strike 1: Anthology is a First-Person-Shooter and is available for the PC platform. The game has a Mature rating from ESRB.
Synopsis and Features
The games in Anthology have a simple formula. There is a terrorist situation. You can be the terrorist or the counter force that eliminates them. The terrorists try to plant a bomb at a specific location or hold a group of hostages. The counter-terrorists try to defuse the said bomb or rescue the hostages. The team that successfully completes their set of objectives or that kills everyone on the other team wins.
Developed and published by Valve Corporation, the game re-defined its genre when it was released. The minimum systems requirements for the game to run smoothly on your computer are Windows XP or 2000, an active internet connection, Pentium III 800 MHz processor, 500 MB disk space, 128 MB RAM, and a 32 MB RAM equipped graphics card.
The game has solid single player campaign. There are three single-player gaming modes that allow you to take part in a variety of missions. Each mode has special objectives that are essential to be fulfilled to move on to the next level. Winning each mission will earn you experience points. You can use these experience points to recruit new computer bots to your team.
The best thing about the Counter Strike games is its AI. The AI is intelligent enough to predict your decisions and moves in a tight group. No matter what team you are in, you will always feel challenged. This allows you improve your skills with each mission you play and each level you achieve. The game has a variety of weapons like Desert Eagle pistols, pump-action shotguns, AK-47 assault rifles and many more. Varied environments bring in more involving and interesting gameplay.
Online Features
The main reason why Counter Strike games are so much popular is because of its multiplayer. You can team with players from across the world and play the game for hours. You can play with computer bots too who are just as competitive as human players. The game even if it was released way back in the year 2000 is still going strong and is a regular in gaming tournaments.
The game has a variety of versions like Source, and the upcoming Global Offensive which re-create the Counter Strike environments in HD and tweak other details. Anthology also has deleted scenes that were not featured in the original game. This gives you one more reason to explore the game's universe. The updates and patches for the game can be downloaded from Steam or directly from the company website.

Easy-but-Spectacular Roasted Potatoes with Cilantro and Lemon
I love potatoes, but then, who doesn't?
Even those folks who claim to "hate" veggies -- believe it or not, they exist-- usually make an exception for the simply spectacular spud. Fried, boiled, roasted or mashed, potatoes are always delicious.
The bad rep potatoes have earned over the years as being fattening and unhealthy is quite undeserved. Sure, a large serving of french fries is loaded with calories, but then no food would be healthy deep-fried- not even spinach. Besides, moderation is always the keyword. Eaten in satisfying but sensible portions, potatoes can be health stars-- they contain good carbs, a ton of minerals, including potassium and manganese, that are located just under the skin (so don't peel the spuds for maximum benefit) and other goodies like fiber and even protein.
I like my potatoes crunchy, but I also like them without too much fat. So I roast them with a little bit of olive oil, along with some simple spices like garlic powder, turmeric and chili powder, which gives them the crunch without adding unwanted calories. A spritz of lemon juice, a sprinkle of cilantro, and you have a wonderful side-dish that's yummier than any order of french fries.
And this one's not going to stay on your hips for a lifetime.
Easy-but-Spectacular Roasted Potatoes with Cilantro and Lemon
4 medium red potatoes (you could substitute with white), cubed into 1-inch chunks
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt to taste.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Wedges of lemon or lime
Mix all the ingredients (except lemon and cilantro) on a baking sheet, making sure the potatoes are coated evenly with the spices and oil.
Cover loosely with foil and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked and golden-brown.
Transfer to a bowl and add cilantro. Serve with wedges of lemon and spritz with lemon juice just before serving (don't add the lemon before serving as it can cause the potatoes to lose their crunch.)

The jury reached a decision on Ophadell Williams Thursday but the judge adjourned proceedings because a juror had to leave early for medical reasons.
Williams faces 54 criminal counts, including charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Prosecutors say he was driving on little sleep and speeding when his bus flipped onto its side on I-95 and slammed into a pole, slicing off its roof.
Fifteen passengers were killed and 15 others were severely injured.
Williams' attorney claims he was cut off by a tractor trailer.
He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
