As seasoned time-travelers, Marty McFly and Doc Brown know all too well that changing the past alters the future.
And that's exactly what Lissy Ryder, the main character in Jen Lancaster's new novel, "Here I Go Again," hopes to do.
Ryder is a once-popular cheerleader who ruled high school and married the star quarterback. At 37, she is broke, unemployed, divorced and living in her parents' house, her glory days well behind her. When she thinks life can't get much worse, she receives an invitation to her 20-year high school reunion. There it becomes apparent that Ryder wasn't well liked by her fellow students and that the key to a happier future could be in changing her past. Lucky for her, an unusual classmate has just the potion for this sort of thing — one drink and Ryder finds herself back in 1992.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
"The idea came to me in a dream," Lancaster said. "So I started to explore the concept, and then I read Stephen King's book '11/23/62' and I thought, 'What would be a funny take on this?' ... I've always been interested in the idea of what if you could have a do-over, so that is what this is, the idea of a do-over with big nods to movies that I love like '13 going on 30' and 'Back to the Future.'"
The novel marks a departure for Lancaster, known for her sidesplitting memoirs that tend to focus on yearlong quests to change a specific aspect of herself (her weight or her addiction to reality TV, for example). Though this novel isn't her first piece of fiction, it is the first that bears no resemblance to her own life. Her previous novel, "If You Were Here," was fictional, but its story corresponded with what Lancaster was doing at the time — moving from the city to the suburbs to renovate a house.
"New readers really liked the book, but it just pissed my fans off," said Lancaster, 45, over cappuccinos at her Lake Forest home. "I realized I couldn't have one foot in the fiction world and one foot in the nonfiction world, which is why 'Here I Go Again' is so not me. I didn't graduate from high school in the '90s, I never listened to metal music, and I don't time travel."
Making the transition to fiction can be difficult for nonfiction authors. Laurie Notaro, author of personal essays and two novels, applauded Lancaster's transformation.
"It's difficult (to) transition from nonfiction to fiction, but Jen made the leap like she had been doing it all her life," Notaro said. "A lot of writers can't do that. They get stuck in nonfiction and have trouble breaking into the world of make-believe."
When Lancaster's first novel came out in May 2011, her life was settling down and it seemed a natural time to make a change.
"I began writing fiction when I started running out of material in my own life," said Lancaster, whose husband, John Fletcher, is known as "Fletch" to her fans. "A good book is full of conflict, and I've worked really hard to eliminate conflict from my life."
A new memoir, "The Tao of Martha," which follows Lancaster's year of living by Martha Stewart's domestic rules, comes out in June. If she were to write another memoir, she said, "I would have to go outside my comfort zone and really do something that created conflict."
Lancaster's writing career grew out of her blog chronicling her life as a casualty of the dotcom bust in the early 2000s. The blog would spawn her first book, "Bitter is the New Black."
"When I got laid off, I would write my friends these 15-page-long emails," she said. "This was before people had personal emails, and my friends would tell me that I was going to get them fired if I kept sending them stuff, so I started a website. It didn't occur to me that I could actually have a career doing this until strangers found my blog on the Internet and liked it."
Six essay collections and two novels later, Lancaster is comfortably settled into her writing career, which she hopes to broaden by writing screenplays. Fox has optioned a script for a sitcom based on "The Tao of Martha."
After "Martha," she said, she'd like to write novels full time — and thereby go back to her future.

JBoss.orgCommunity Documentation
Narayana JTA works in conjunction with the rest of the Narayana suite. In addition to the documentation here, consult the Narayana JTA documentation, which ships as part of Narayana JTA and is also available on the Narayana website at http://www.narayana.io.
This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to specific pieces of information.
In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts set. The Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not, alternative but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later includes the Liberation Fonts set by default.
Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.
Mono-spaced Bold
Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight keycaps and key combinations. For example:
To see the contents of the file
my_next_bestselling_novelin your current working directory, enter the
cat my_next_bestselling_novelcommand at the shell prompt and press Enter to execute the command.
The above includes a file name, a shell command and a keycap, all presented in mono-spaced bold and all distinguishable thanks to context.
Key combinations can be distinguished from keycaps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key combination. For example:
Press Enter to execute the command.
Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to your X-Windows session.
The first paragraph highlights the particular keycap to press. The second highlights two key combinations (each a set of three keycaps with each set pressed simultaneously).
If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in
mono-spaced bold. For example:
File-related classes include
filesystemfor file systems,
filefor files, and
dirfor directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions.
Proportional Bold
This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialog box text; labeled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example:
Choose Mouse Preferences. In the Buttons tab, click the Left-handed mouse check box and click to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse suitable for use in the left hand).→ → from the main menu bar to launch
To insert a special character into a gedit file, choose → → from the main menu bar. Next, choose → from the Character Map menu bar, type the name of the character in the Search field and click . The character you sought will be highlighted in the Character Table. Double-click this highlighted character to place it in the Text to copy field and then click the button. Now switch back to your document and choose → from the gedit menu bar.
The above text includes application names; system-wide menu names and items; application-specific menu names; and buttons and text found within a GUI interface, all presented in proportional bold and all distinguishable by context.
Mono-spaced Bold Italic
Proportional Bold Italic
Whether mono-spaced bold or proportional bold, the addition of italics indicates replaceable or variable text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on circumstance. For example:
To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type
sshat a shell prompt. If the remote machine is
example.comand your username on that machine is john, type
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com.
mount -o remountcommand remounts the named file system. For example, to remount the
/homefile system, the command is
mount -o remount /home.
To see the version of a currently installed package, use the
rpm -qcommand. It will return a result as follows:
Note the words in bold italics above — username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text displayed by the system.
Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and important term. For example:
Publican is a DocBook publishing system.
Terminal output and source code listings are set off visually from the surrounding text.
Output sent to a terminal is set in
mono-spaced roman and presented thus:
books Desktop documentation drafts mss photos stuff svn books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs
Source-code listings are also set in
mono-spaced roman but add syntax highlighting as follows:
package org.jboss.book.jca.ex1;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class ExClient
public static void main(String args[])
throws Exception
InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext();
Object ref = iniCtx.lookup("EchoBean");
EchoHome home = (EchoHome) ref;
Echo echo = home.create();
System.out.println("Created Echo");
System.out.println("Echo.echo('Hello') = " + echo.echo("Hello"));
Finally, we use three visual styles to draw attention to information that might otherwise be overlooked.
Notes are tips, shortcuts or alternative approaches to the task at hand. Ignoring a note should have no negative consequences, but you might miss out on a trick that makes your life easier.
Important boxes detail things that are easily missed: configuration changes that only apply to the current session, or services that need restarting before an update will apply. Ignoring a box labeled 'Important' will not cause data loss but may cause irritation and frustration.
Warnings should not be ignored. Ignoring warnings will most likely cause data loss.
Procedure 1.1. Pre-Installation Steps
Before installing the Narayana JTA software, we recommend the following administrative steps be taken, assuming a default configuration for Narayana JTA.
Install the distribution into the required location.
Typically, the distribution is extracted from a
.ZIP file.
Specify the Location for the Object Store
Narayana JTA requires a minimum object store for storing the outcome of transactions in the event of system crashes. The location of this should be specified in the properties file using the ObjectStoreEnvironmentBean.objectStoreDir key or by using environment variable:
java –DObjectStoreEnvironmentBean.objectStoreDir =C:\temp foo.
Optional: Specify the sub-directory within the Object Store root.
By default, all object states will be stored within the
defaultStore/ sub-directory of the
object store root. For instance, if the object store root is
/usr/local/Arjuna/TransactionService/ObjectStore, the subdirectory
/usr/local/Arjuna/TransactionService/ObjectStore/defaultStore/ is used.
To change this subdirectory, set the ObjectStoreEnvironmentBean.localOSRoot or com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.objectstore.localOSRoot property variable accordingly.
Four scripts, located in the
Services\bin\windows folder, install and uninstall the recovery manager and transaction server services.
Installation Scripts for Microsoft Windows
Uninstallation Scripts for Microsoft Windows
Each of the scripts requires administrative privileges.
After running any of the scripts, a status message indicates success or failure.
Procedure 2.1. Installing Services in Linux / UNIX
Log into the system with
root privileges.
The installer needs these privileges to create files in
Change to
refers to the directory where you extracted Narayana JTA.
Set the
JAVA_HOME variable, if necessary.
Set the
JAVA_HOME variable to the base directory of the JVM the service will use. The base directory is the directory above
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/java"
setenv JAVA_HOME="/opt/java"
Run the installer script.
The start-up and shut-down scripts are installed.
Information similar to the output below is displayed.
Adding $JAVA_HOME (/opt/java) to $PATH in /opt/arjuna/ats-3.2/services/bin/solaris/recoverymanagerservice.sh Adding $JAVA_HOME (/opt/java) to $PATH in /opt/arjuna/ats-3.2/services/bin/solaris/transactionserverservice.sh Installing shutdown scripts into /etc/rcS.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Installing shutdown scripts into /etc/rc0.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Installing shutdown scripts into /etc/rc1.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Installing shutdown scripts into /etc/rc2.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Installing startup scripts into /etc/rc3.d: S98recoverymanagerservice S99transactionserverservice
The start-up and shut-down scripts are installed for each run-level. Depending on your specific operating system, you may need to explicitly enable the services for automatic start-up.
Procedure 2.2. Uninstalling Services in Linux / UNIX
Log into the system with
root privileges.
The installer needs these privileges to delete files in
Change to
refers to the directory where you extracted Narayana JTA.
Run the installation script with the
-u option.
./install_services.sh -u
The start-up and shut-down scripts are removed.
Messages like the ones below indicate that the start-up and shut-down scripts have been removed successfully.
Removing startup scripts from /etc/rc3.d: S98recoverymanagerservice S99transactionserverservice Removing shutdown scripts from /etc/rcS.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Removing shutdown scripts from /etc/rc0.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Removing shutdown scripts from /etc/rc1.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice Removing shutdown scripts from /etc/rc2.d: K01recoverymanagerservice K00transactionserverservice
The recovery manager and the transaction server services produce log files which are located in the
services/logs/ directory. Two log files are created per service.
Contains information regarding whether the service is stopped, started, restarted, or in another state.
Contains information logged from the actual service.
To configure what information is logged in these files, edit the appropriate LOG4J configuration files located in
To use all of the facilities available within Narayana JTA, you need to add all of the JAR files contained in the
directory of the distribution to the
Narayana JTA has been designed to be highly configurable at runtime through
the use of various property attributes. Although these attributes can be provided at runtime
on the command line, it may be more convenient to specify them through a
single properties file or via
setter methods on the
beans. At runtime, Narayana JTA looks for the file
jbossts-properties.xml, in a specific search order.
A location specified by a system property, allowing the normal search path to be overridden.
The directory from which the application was executed.
The home directory of the user that launched Narayana JTA.
CLASSPATH, which normally includes the installation's
etc/ directory.
A default set of properties embedded in the
JAR file.
Where properties are defined in both the system properties by using the
-D switch, and in the
properties file, the value from the system property takes precedence. This facilitates overriding individual
properties easily on the command line.
The properties file uses
java.uil.Properties XML format, for example:
<entry key="CoordinatorEnvironmentBean.asyncCommit">NO</entry> <entyr key="ObjectStoreEnvironmentBean.objectStoreDir">/var/ObjectStore</entry>
You can override the name of the properties file at runtime by specifying a new file using the
com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.propertiesFile attribute variable.
Unlike earlier releases, there is no longer one properties file name per module. This properties file name key is now global for all Narayana components in the JVM.

George leads Pacers over Suns
Phoenix, AZ – Paul George scored 25 points and the Indiana Pacers held off the Phoenix Suns, 112-104, on Saturday.
Roy Hibbert added 20 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, who have won four in a row and lead the Bulls by 6 1/2 games for first place in the Central Division.
Lance Stephenson had 16 points, George Hill donated 15 points and David West recorded 14 points and seven boards for the Pacers, who sit second in the Eastern Conference.
"Sometimes you just have to win. It's not always going to be a 25 point road win. Any win on the road is a good win. I'm happy to get out of here with a win," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
Goran Dragic ended with 21 points and nine assists for the Suns, who have dropped six straight. Markieff Morris and Jermaine O'Neal finished with 18 and 13 points, respectively.
"Like I have said before there are no moral victories, but when you are traveling down the road we are traveling you have to get small victories out of tough times," Suns coach Lindsey Hunter said. "I think tonight we got a lot of small victories. That is a championship-caliber team over there I would say and I think we fought them toe to toe right up until the end."
Trailing by four, 15-11, with 6:51 left in the first quarter, the Pacers went on a 15-2 run. George and Hibbert scored eight and seven points, respectively, during the surge to give Indiana a 26-17 margin with 1:48 remaining.
The Pacers took a 27-21 lead into the second stanza. Indiana extended its margin to nine, 34-25, on Stephenson's 3-pointer with 8:18 left until half. The visitors led for the rest of the half and took a 57-49 edge into the locker room.
The Suns cut the gap to one in the early stages of the third frame, but the Pacers used an 18-8 run to take control. D.J. Augustin tallied the final four points of the surge to give Indiana an 82-71 margin with 2:22 to go. It was an 86-76 game heading to the fourth.
Phoenix used a 7-0 spurt early in the fourth to cut the gap to three, 88-85. The Pacers, however, responded with seven straight points of their own to make it a 95-85 contest.
The Suns made a late run and got within one, 102-101, on O'Neal's three-point play with 3:10 to play.
West made two free throws at the other end to spark a 10-3 Indiana run to end the game.
Game Notes
The Pacers went 2-0 against the Suns this season ... Indiana guard Gerald Green (upper respiratory infection) missed the game ... Wesley Johnson and P.J. Tucker had 11 points apiece for the Suns ... The Pacers went 34-of-46 from the foul line.

Long-Term Review
2014 Mazda6: Easily Updated
It's been a couple of months since I last had the keys to our long-term 2014 Mazda6. In that time, our staffers had managed to add a few thousand miles, eclipsing the 10,000-mile mark. After just a few short minutes back in the car, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still really like it. I agree with almost everyone else that the Mazda6's styling looks good from just about every angle, the handling is still at the top of its class, and the amount of technology packed into a vehicle in this price range still amazes me.
Time for an Upgrade
The only issue that I noticed involved one of those pieces of technology. When using the navigation system to check the traffic on my route home, the screen just kind of kept spinning. The system seemed to be having trouble locating the Mazda's precise location. With most in-dash navigation setups, this type of issue probably would require a trip to the dealership, but the 2014 Mazda6 uses a TomTom device that can be updated right at home.
A panel right by the driver's left knee houses a small SD card that holds the navigation system's information. Using this type of setup, it's really quite simple to upgrade to the latest version.
After downloading TomTom's desktop software program, I followed the on-screen instructions to download the most recent updates (including one that was designed to help to better locate the car!) and inserted the SD card to update. After about 20 minutes to transfer the information to the SD card, I then reinserted the card back into the car and waited another five minutes to transfer that new software to the in-dash system. Pretty simple.
Some editors have complained about the TomTom system, saying it's too slow or the graphics aren't that great. Updating the software in such a quick and simple fashion, however, has most of them rethinking their comparatively minor complaints.
Good Results
In addition to being able to pinpoint our Mazda more accurately, there were also multiple map updates. I live in downtown Atlanta, where there always seems to be new buildings under construction, businesses coming and going, and roads being updated. The refreshed navigation system had no trouble locating and directing my girlfriend and I to a new restaurant that we had been wanting to try.
I'm always a fan of being able to do things myself. Problems or issues with a new car are generally covered for free under your warranty, but this usually means a trip to the dealership. Some people also visit the dealership for regular service in an effort to keep that warranty intact, but being able to complete this entire upgrade and fix a minor issue myself gave me a feeling of satisfaction that you just don't generally get when caring for a new car. Let's add this to the growing list of reasons why I continue to think that the 2014 Mazda6 is one of the best new cars in the marketplace.

Do you wonder what the name of that creek down the road from you is called? And where did it get its name from? Do you know why the Indians who lived in this area centuries ago are called Creeks?
For more than a hundred centuries, Native Americans roamed and lived in the lands we now occupy. With no written language, as we conceive written languages, the Indians who lived here lived and died with no written record of their existence. What we know about their culture are the stories and customs which have passed down from generation to generation and from the study of the archaeology of the Native American cultures of the Southeast. One of the most basic facts about these cultures are that these people were first hunters and gatherers but only in the last thirteen or so centuries did they become more sedentary and agricultural. We do know that those people who lived in our area before we did chose dwelling places which were well drained and were located in proximity to the rivers and creeks where wildlife teemed and clean water was abundant. We don't know what they called themselves because their names have been lost to eternity. So, today we call those Native Americans who lived in this area, the "Creek Indians."
So why is this important? Well since these people were the first to live in this area, naturally they were the first to name the rivers and creeks which flowed through the area. Many of Laurens County's streams retain their Indian names. The Oconee River is named after a tribe of Creek Indians that lived in the area along the river. It has been said that Oconee is the Creek word for "the place of springs" or "the water eyes of the hills." A recent discovery of a study of the a 19th century Hitchitee language study reveals that Oconee is the Hitchitee word for "place of the skunk". The middle portion of the river was known to the Indians as "Ithlobee."
The Creek or Muscogee word for creek is "hatchee." Turkey Creek which rises in Twiggs County and flows through Wilkinson and Laurens Counties is the anglicized name of the Indian word "Pennohachee". A branch of Turkey Creek which is known today as Palmetto Creek was formerly called "Taulohatchee" by the Creek Indians. The name of Ockwalkee Creek, which flows from southern Laurens County through Wheeler County to the Oconee River, is derived from the Creek words meaning "dirty water." The name of Stitchihatchee Creek, which is located in the Dexter area, is derived from the Creek words meaning "red man's creek" or possibly "crossing or fording creek." Another of the major creeks in western Laurens County is Rocky Creek. The Muskogee Indian name for Rocky Creek would have been Chattohachi - "chatto" for stone or rock and "hachi" for stream. One of the branches of Pughes Creek in eastern Laurens County is named Indian Branch. Indian Pots Branch crosses Georgia Highway 117 just inside the county line on the highway between Cadwell and Eastman.
Without a doubt, one of the most intriguing creek names of all Laurens County's creek is Hunger and Hardship. Beginning in northern Laurens County and running south and then southeasterly to empty into the Oconee River just above Dublin, Hunger and Hardship Creek was reportedly home to a tribe of Indians, who, you guessed it, Hunger and Hardship. The name first appears on the 1805 survey of the First Land District of Laurens County. Two of the creek's main branches are Sandy Ford which runs from west of the airport, crossing behind the Dublin Mall to join the main run of the creek behind the Shamrock Bowl and Strawberry Branch which runs through Holly Hills and Kingswood subdivisions until it joins Hunger and Hardship just above the bridge on North Jefferson Street.
Who out there knows the name of the only creek in Dublin which flows north? Most of you don't even think of it as a creek, but most of you travel over it at least once a week. It is the creek which starts in Moore Station Development, flows northward and becomes the pond at Fairview Park, then Lake Leisure at the Carl Vinson VA Center, passes down Hillcrest Parkway beside the VA, crosses under Hwy 80 by Capital City Bank and Hillcrest Parkway in front of the new Dublin High School before emptying into Hunger and Hardship Creek near White Oak Subdivsion. This creek, actually a branch, has unpretentious name of "Bud's Branch."
Out in the Buckeye District just above the Claude Graham place flows San Soucci Creek. Sans Souci is a French term meaning "without care." It is also the name of the summer home of Frederick the Great near Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany.
Laurens County is so large that some creek names are repeated. Most of these carry descriptive names. There are four Big Branches as well as one Big Creek. Flat,Crooked, Rocky and Whitewater Creeks appear twice on maps, as well as two Long and Bay branches. But, there is only one Bluewater and one Dry. There is a Gin and Gin House Branch, named for the cotton processor and not the drink. But there is a Rum Creek. It flows just below the Country Club and was originally named Wommack's Mill Creek, for the man who first dammed it up into a mill pond.
Batson, Bell, Brewton, Collins, Hightower, Hogan, Kellam, Joiner, Pitts, Mercer, Pughes, Renfroe, and Whitley are some of the eponymous early names given to creeks by early settlers. Acutally, Mercer's Creek, which is the line dividing Laurens and Treutlen counties is a derivation of the word, "Messer's," named by an early Montgomery County settler and large landowner, Peter Messer.
Pendleton Creek, a major tributary of the Ohoopee River, begins in southeastern Laurens County. The creek was named for Daniel Pendleton, a Captain of a Connecticut company of Col. Baldwins Regiment of Artificers in the American Revolution. According to D.N. Wilkes, of Reidsville, Pendleton Creek, was named for the captain who commanded a company in a fight with the Indians in the area.
Nearby is Pughes (Pugh's) Creek which is named for Francis Pugh, an early resident and militia leader of Montgomery County.
Long Branch runs along the southern side of Dublin and empties into the Oconee River below Riverview Golf Course. Town Branch runs through Stubbs Park and empties into the Oconee River just above Roche's Farm and Garden store. How many of you know that Roberts Branch or Harrison's Branch begins near the tennis courts on Woodrow Ave. and runs by the Chamber of Commerce, Saxon Heights School, and the Dublin Police Department before emptying into the Oconee? How many of you know that a mostly piped and underground feeder creek of Roberts Branch emanates from beneath a spring underneath the Dublin-Laurens Museum?
And, there's Keen's Mill Branch in East Dublin, South Sandy, Little Gut, Walnut, and Scooter Rue Creeks. So who was Scooter Rue? Up in the northwest part of Laurens County above Montrose is the Devil's Branch. It seems there is an old story about a monster who lived along that small creek. Does anybody know that tale? Please let me know if you can name that creek. You know the creek which has no name or least a name that few people know.

Scott McIntosh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 67 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
TWAR uses the Twitter API to turn your followers into your personal army and go to TWAR with other Twitter users. The game will consist of the TWAR website and the TWAR twitter page. The Twitter page is the interface for the game and the website is where the game takes place, where the rankings are shown, and where users buy TWAR credits.
I will need the following designs:
(1) TWAR Logo: A twitter bird dressed up in some type of warrior outfit looking very angry with a weapon of some sort - like a spear or sword type weapon, no guns or anything - I want to see the Twitter bird and think the movie 300. I want to keep this old school type battles - Romans, barbarians type stuff.
(2) Twitter Background: The Twitter TWAR page (http://twitter.com/twar) is a single picture that is uploaded to Twitter to serve as the background for the TWAR twitter page. It must fit and show all the insrtuctions and commands along the left side out of the way of the Twitter Tweet box in the center of the page. Check out this post for the Twitter background dimensions and upload instructions if you want to test out the background first (http://www.croncast.com/blog/1320/T…e-size.php) The TWAR twitter page should look like all Hell has broken loose, total Fire and Brimstone. It also need to have a basic description of the game, the instructions, and the TWAR commands listed:
"To declare TWAR on someone, both Twarriors must be following TWAR."
"You never have to log-in to TWAR or give TWAR your password! You can use the direct message system in Twitter and the TWAR Commands."
"TWAR Commands:
(To issue an action in TWAR, send the following direct messages to TWAR through Twitter)
@username = Declare TWAR on that user!
INTEL = Show your current troop levels
INTEL @username = Get intel report on another user with your odds of defeating them (cost 10 TWAR credits)
CREDIT = Show your current credit amount
MERCNARIES1000 = Buys you 1000 mercenaries (costs you 10 TWAR credits)"
(3) The following 5 pages will have to be designed:
(a)) Home Page (where the rankings are scene):
- There is a list of all the TWARRIORS (people who play TWAR) in order of who has the highest score and it will say "TOP TWARRIORS" above the list. There is also a search box to search a specific location (lists the Twarriors in order of score for that locations) or a specific user (shows that user's score).
- Also has the following links: "TWAR instructions" / "Get TWAR Credits!" / "I" (I = about page)
-The background of this page should go along with the theme of the game (like many battles have taken place).
(b) Battle Page (where the battle takes place):
-The Battle scene will have a Twitter Logo warrior that represents each of the two players in a specific color. Example: Blue on left (for originator) and Red on right (for receiver) - designer can pick the colors. They birds can look different (like have a different weapon and different armor)
-The small fallen soldiers that appear in the battle box will color coordinate with their owner. So every blue dead bird is a originator loss and every red dead bird is a receiver loss. They will be very tiny little Twitter birds but with X for eyes to show they are the deceased.
-I need the 2 big birds drawn and the little dead birds to match. The background for the Battle page should be dark and maybe scary to go along with the theme of the battle taking place (but not clutter the foreground where the numbers and dead birds are appearing depicting the battle).
(c) Winner Declared Page (winner is declared) -
-shows who won and who lost: "@username has defeated @username in TWAR! The results have already been posted on Twitter!"
-has links to "Declare another TWAR" / "See Current Rankings" / "Get TWAR Credits"
- Needs a POST WAR background that goes along with the theme of the game.
(d) Get Credits Page (set up to buy more credits with link to PayPal)
-This page background should look like an armory of some sort with room for lots of text to describe whats going on.
-need the following text on there "Get TWAR Credits" "With TWAR credits you can add Mercenaries to your army to help you win battles! You can also get INTEL reports on other Twarriors. INTEL reports tell you the strength of a TWARRIORS army and give you the percentage chance that you will win when you go to TWAR!"
"10 Credits = 1000 Mercenaries added to your army or 1 Intel Report."
"$5.00 = 100 Credits"
"How many TWAR Credits would you like?" - Box with two arrows, one goes up and one goes down. Box starts with 0 but the up arrow adds 100 and the down arrow subtracts 100.
"Total" - shows current cost in $$ of the amount of Credits user is buying.
- Link to Paypal to purchase.
(e) Info Page (TWAR creator's story)
Info page will go along with the theme of the game, can be a copy of the home page or battle page. The following text:
"TWAR was created by Scott McIntosh and Greg Lavalle to help you finally make use of all those followers by turning them loose on your fellow Twarriors on the TWAR battlefield."
- I like designs that are clean, shiny, and 3-D (although I'll consider other options after seeing them).It should have the theme of an oldschool battle (like Roman or Greek or Barbarian type battle). It should be fire and brimstone, scary, war-like, Armageddon (but be careful to keep it PG...or maybe PG 13.) I have a power point describing the whole game with some extremely basic examples of the 5 pages to give you a better idea. Email firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you the Powerpoint.In total I need the Logo, Twitter background, and TWAR website pages that are described above and in the power point.

|Sheila, February 2012
Hey I am finally somewhat of a trendsetter. For years now my hair has been gray—not that I didn't once and only once have a fling with color. I was so warped after that experience and the hole it left in my wallet that I swore off coloring my hair as I progressively grew more and more gray.
|Mad Men Betty Draper double.
Perhaps I was conditioned to give hair coloring a try at least once by those 50's and 60's Clairol advertisements asking, "Does she . . . or doesn't she? Hair color so natural only her hairdresser knows for sure!" Maybe my own mother's long time love affair with Loving Care colored my viewpoint and made me predisposed to think this is what modern, working women did when those first stray grays made their unwanted appearance.
However, Leanne Italie's recent AP story on women with gray hair proved a bit of a validation of my choice although there are apparently quite a few other women out there for whom going gray isn't yet a reality. Only their hairdresser knows for sure—and likely most other people for that matter. Who the heck are they kidding?
|Christine Lagarde
With strong and talented women of gray like Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren, International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde, and actress and yogurt spokeswoman Jamie Lee Curtis, this gray revolution can't help but grow, and I'm finally okay with my hair!

Classic Grilled Burgers
It's questionable whether or not you need a recipe for grilled burgers. Half the time, I'm tossing seasonings and herbs into the beef willy-nilly, and each burger cookout manages to taste a bit different.
However, below is my go-to recipe for tried-and-true classic grilled burgers.
The recipe is simple – you can adjust the seasonings depending on what you like (BBQ sauce can be subbed for the A-1, regular table salt for the seasoned salt, etc.), but more than a recipe, a fantastic burger relies on a few extra tips that I swear by:
1) Great buns. I almost always make my hamburger buns from this roll recipe, shaping them into larger rounds and pressing them down slightly before they rise so they aren't overly rounded on top (plus I can make a bunch at a time and freeze them for later use). They are ferociously delicious. However, you don't have to go the homemade route – just make sure you get a bun that has flavor and won't disintegrate under the weight of your mighty meat. A good burger needs a great bun.
2) Toasty buns. I don't know why it makes that much of a difference, but I'm telling you, a lightly buttered, toasted bun skyrockets a good burger to out-of-this-world. I butter the inside of the buns and slap them on the grill a minute or two before the burgers are finished cooking. Yummmmm.
3) H2O. It may sound strange but adding a little water to your ground beef mixture makes a difference. I saw Paula Deen do it once and that lady knows what she's talkin' about.
4) Don't go lean. It's tempting to buy the leanest beef you can find. I'm supportive of that. Usually. But not with burgers. A juicy, tasty burger is all the better for ground beef with a little more fat in the mix. I recommend about 15-20%. I know that is grossing some of you out and I apologize. It's just the truth, man.
5) Remember raw meat is trendy. Overcooked burgers mean tough, dry burgers. Even if you don't like pink in the center of yours, judge the time just right and pull the burger off a little earlier than you think. It will continue cooking slightly off the heat so try not to grill it too long. I like my burgers with the slightest, and I mean slightest, hint of pink in the center. With a 1/2-inch patty, I usually grill it about 6-7 minutes per side.
6) Size it right. Form the burger patties at least 1/4-inch larger than the size of the bun you'll be using. The burgers will shrink while cooking and forming them bigger than the bun will ensure you don't need to steal your child's burger to fill up your bun.
Sweet Potato Fries or Jo Jo Wedges
Chips and Guacamole Salad
Sliced fruit
Classic Grilled Burgers
- 2 pounds ground beef (preferably not extra lean)
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons A-1 sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup room temperature water
- In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Form the beef into patties about 1/2-inch thick and about 1/4-inch larger in diameter than the buns you'll be using. Refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
- Cook the burgers on a preheated grill over medium-high heat until the burgers are cooked to your liking (I like mine with the barest hint of pink in the center and usually grill for about 6 minutes per side). The last two minutes of grilling, butter the inside of the bun and slap it on the grill to toast while the burgers finish cooking.
Blue Cheese Burger Variation: After the beef and other ingredients have been mixed, add in about 2 ounces of crumbled blue cheese. Mix gently to combine and then form into patties.
Rosemary Burger Variation: Add 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary (slide the leaves off the stalk, discard the stalk and coarsely chop the rosemary) to the ingredients and mix to combine with the beef.

Miley Cyrus is doin' it big for the debut of her new single 'We Can't Stop'!
The pop star debuted the artwork for her newest track on a larger-than-life billboard in none other than New York City's Times Square. If our intuition is correct (and judging from the artwork — it is), 'We Can't Stop' will be an amped up party jam that no party will be complete without this summer.
The songstress hasn't released an album since 2010′s 'Can't Be Tamed,' and Miley's collaborators are giving off the impression that this album will have a definite hip-hop vibe — having been in the studio with Meek Mill, Pharrell Williams and more. We would even imagine there's some dubstep influence seeing as she was featured on Borgore's track 'Decisions.' Either way, the new Miley tune is on its way and will surely be the talk of the town on June 3.

MANAMA, Bahrain, March 18, 2006 " USS Cape St. George and USS Gonzalez returned fire early today on a group of suspected pirates in the Indian Ocean, killing one and wounding five, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command officials reported today.
The incident occurred about 25 nautical miles off the central eastern coast of Somalia in international waters.
Cape St. George, a guided missile cruiser, and Gonzalez, a guided missile destroyer, were conducting maritime security operations in the area as part of Combined Task Force 150, officials said.
Members of this maritime coalition task force, currently led by Royal Netherlands Navy Commodore Hank Ort, spotted a suspect vessel towing two smaller skiffs bearing west toward the coast, officials reported. As Gonzalez`s boarding teams prepared to conduct a routine boarding of the suspect vessel, the two Norfolk, Va.-based Navy ships noticed the suspected pirates were brandishing what appeared to be rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
The suspected pirates then opened fire on the Navy ships. The Cape St. George and Gonzalez returned fire with small arms in self defense, officials said.
One suspected pirate was killed and a fire ignited aboard the main suspect vessel. Boarding teams from Cape St. George and Gonzalez took 12 other suspects, including the five who were injured, into custody. The Navy boarding teams also confiscated an RPG launcher and automatic weapons.
No U.S. sailors were injured in the engagement, officials said.
The Navy ships are providing medical treatment to the wounded suspects, continuing search-and-rescue efforts for any additional suspects and collecting further evidence from the vessel and skiffs, officials said. Royal Netherlands Navy medical personnel, including a medical doctor, are en route to provide assistance from HNLMS Amsterdam.
Coalition forces conduct maritime security operations under international maritime conventions to ensure security and safety in international waters so all commercial shipping can operate freely while transiting the region, officials said.
On March 15, the United Nations Security Council encouraged naval forces operating off the coast of Somalia to be vigilant and take action against piracy. Pirate attacks against aid ships have hindered U.N. efforts to provide relief to the victims of a severe drought in the area, officials said.

Lastest Results
Santa Clara completed a five-match road stretch with two tough matches in Arizona. On Feb. 9, the Broncos fell 5-2 to No. 57 Arizona State. After losing the first doubles match of the day, Macek and Rasmussen routed Juan Carlos Rebaza and Nick Hegarty 8-3 to even the match. In the deciding match, Brian Brogan and Robert Gallman got down 1-5, but battled back to 5-5 and the match eventually went to a tiebreaker before Arizona State's T.J. Bellama and Murilo Souza pulled it out for the Sun Devils 7-4. In singles, the Broncos had two bright spots at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. Jay Wong captured his 16th win of the year, beating Wes Miller 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, while Robert Gallman won at No. 4 when Nick Hegerty retired with the score 2-6, 6-2, 0-3. Following that loss, the Broncos faced No. 72 Arizona on Feb. 10 and earned a clutch 4-3 win with No. 1 Jan Macek clinching the match in a three-setter. After winning the doubles point, the match went back and forth in singles with Brian Brogan and Jay Wong winning their matches, while Tommy Hicks, Robert Gallman and Bobby Rasmussen lost. In the deciding match Macek and Arizona's Claudio Christen split the first two sets. Macek went up 5-2 in the third and was serving for the match. However, Christen broke Macek to cut the lead to 5-3 and then went up 40-0 on his serve and appeared on the verge of narrowing the gap even more. But the Broncos top player would not fold, winning five straight points to capture the match 6-1, 5-7, 6-3 and give SCU an important 4-3 victory. The Broncos success continued against No. 73 University of Hawai'i on Feb. 14. with another 4-3 victory. The Broncos won the doubles point with all three doubles teams winning their matches. Following straight set singles wins by Blane Shields and Jay Wong, the final four matches went the distance. At the No. 5 Bobby Rasmussen was able to pull through with a win in a 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 victory, after fighting off three match points in the third set. At the No. 2 SCU's Brian Brogan faced No. 37 in the nation, Andreas Weber, and nearly sprung an upset. Brogan battled hard by coming back in the second set to win 6-3 after falling 6-1 in the first. In the super tiebreaker that ensued Weber was able to defeat Brogan 10-6.
Brogan Reaches Final Of SAP Open Pre-Qualifying Tournament
Santa Clara University sophomore tennis player Brian Brogan won five matches over three days to reach the final of the SAP Open pre-qualifying tournament and qualify for the main qualifying draw for the annual ATP event. The SAP Open, an ATP tour event, takes place from Feb. 12-18 at HP Pavilion. On Monday, Feb. 5 Brogan took a midterm exam and then headed directly to the pre-qualifying tournament in Sunnyvale to begin play. He swept to two convincing wins, 6-0, 6-0 and 6-1, 6-1 to earn a spot in the third round against the tournament's No. 6 seed, Shibu Lal. After defeating Lal in a two-hour match on Tuesday morning, Brogan faced No. 2 seed Timour Dick in the afternoon in the quarterfinals. The match went back and forth with each player winning a set 7-5. Brogan took control in the third set and closed out Dick 6-4 in the third to win the match in three hours and 40 minutes. Brogan then won his semifinal match against Shane Templeman 6-2, 6-4 to book his ticket to the main qualifying draw. The pre-qualifying tournament finalists were each guaranteed a spot in the qualifying tournament. With his place secured Brogan then retired against Brad Weston in the final so that he had energy left for the Broncos trip to Arizona. Brogan was unable to return in time to play in the SAP Qualifying Draw due to the Broncos' matches.
Broncos Move Up
After defeating No. 72 Arizona, Santa Clara moved up from No. 75 to No. 73 in the national rankings. Not since 2002 has the men's tennis program achieved a national ranking when they were No. 55 in the nation.
Macek/Rasmussen and McQuaid/Shields Moving Up Record Books
The doubles teams of Jan Macek/Bobby Rasmussen and Kevin McQuaid/Blane Shields are moving up the record books in career doubles victories. McQuaid and Shields won a school record 20 matches last year to move to No. 4 all-time in doubles wins. The pair has won five matches this year and are now tied with Tony Del Rosario and Frank Seitz for third all-time with 25 wins. Macek and Rasmussen started the year with 18 career wins together and have burst out of the gate this spring, posting a 10-2 record so far to move into sole possession of second place all-time with 28 wins. Macek and Rasmussen are still 19 wins away from the all-time leaders, Marcell Hlousek and Jeremy Testwuide, who won 47 matches together at SCU.
Rasmussen Aiming For Top-10 In Singles
Senior Bobby Rasmussen has gotten off to a fantastic start to the spring season in singles, posting a 7-4 record to move his career singles record to 52-48. He is now within four victories of catching Marcel Hlousek for eighth all-time in career singles wins.
Wong Super Frosh
Freshmen Jay Wong continues to have an outstanding first season on the Mission Campus. The San Jose native has won four singles matches in a row to push his record to 18-6 on the year. With two more wins, Wong would move into the top 10 all-time for wins in a single season. The all-time record for wins in a season is 30, accomplished by Francisco Zepponi when he posted a 30-8 record in 2002.
Bronco Firsts
The Santa Clara men's tennis team has achieved a number of notable firsts this season on the courts. The team defeated UC Irvine for the first time in program history on Feb. 4, earning a 6-1 win. The team's win over the University of Arizona on Feb. 10 contained a pair of firsts. The Broncos had never beaten Arizona in the past and they had not beaten a Pac-10 team on the road. However, SCU accomplished both tasks with its 4-3 victory.
Macek Clutch
Playing at the No. 1 position this season, senior Jan Macek has had a number of tight matches against some of the nation's top players. He has now played four nationally ranked players, including Luke Shields (Boise State), Pierre Mouillon (California), Andre Begemann (Pepperdine) and Claudio Christen (Arizona). Prior to his match against Christen, Macek had dropped two three-setters to Shields and Mouillon, while losing in a second set tiebreaker to Begemann. However, Macek did not stop pushing and he earned his first victory of the year over a ranked opponent against Arizona. Christen was ranked No. 86 when Macek beat him 6-1, 5-7, 6-3 to clinch a Bronco win on Feb. 10.

text: Since 1896 Guido Guidi, Giovanni Rosellini and Gino Ulivo established "Conceria Guidi E Rosellini" in Tuscany. The region is historically famous for its tanneries and the tannery run by Guidi is very well known, supplying the most demanding designers with leathers and treatments. The Guidi's shoe collection is an exquisite balance between advanced technologies and traditional skills, resulting in something unique with a twist of tradition and outstanding craftsmanship.

It seems that with every year that passes with PlayStation 3 on the market, its library of annual exclusives gets stronger and stronger. For instance, 2010 was a great year, and 2011 was even better. So how's 2012 shaping up?
Below, you will find a list of 20 games being released in 2012 that can only be played on PlayStation 3. While there are actually more than 20 PS3 exclusives in 2012 (plus a slew of rumored games), these are the 20 we've boiled down to in order to appeal to the widest array of gamers.
Feel free to click on the name of each game in the list for more information you may want, including release date details, further news and articles, imagery and video. Please keep in mind that the games are presented in alphabetical order, and aren't ordered in any sort of way indicating the games we're most or least anticipating.
And a huge thank you to Brian Altano for the art used in this article.
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
PlayStation gamers know the developer Gust well, especially if they're into JRPGs. Its Atelier, Mana-Khemia and Ar tonelico franchises are beloved in Japan, as has been the case since Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg was released on the PlayStation way back in 1997. However, few of those games ever came to the west: Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana on the PS2 was the first Gust-developed game American and European audiences ever saw.
However, publisher NIS has found a thriving niche market in North America in particular, and Gust releases are far more routine now. Aterlier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland is set to come exclusively to PlayStation 3 in North America this May, as we first reported over a year ago. As the third game in the "Arland branch" of the series (and 13th Atelier game overall), JRPG fans will likely find plenty to love when the game finally comes Stateside.
If you like freaky, ambient and outright creepy games, Closure might be for you. It's one of only two games on this list that, at the time this was posted, is already out on PlayStation 3. But it's so outrageously good that we had to recommend it to you anyway. A unique puzzler from the three-man team at studio Eyebrow Interactive, Closure impressed us enough that we gave it an 8.0 and bestowed upon it the moniker of a great game. And a great game it is.
What's so great about Closure is that it boldly approaches the puzzle genre in a way that pretty much no game ever has. It's all about controlling light, and what you see truly is what you get. If a light is beaming on a platform, you can walk on it. If it's not, that platform exits from view and you can no longer use it, even if you know it's there. By manipulating lights in your environment, you can therefore complete the puzzle and move onto the next. If it sounds mind-bending, that's because it is, but rest assured it's as rewarding as it is challenging.
Datura is an upcoming PlayStation Network game from Polish developer Plastic, which PSN players may remember as the developer of the demoscene project Linger in Shadows. This time around, Plastic's new project is decidedly more game and less demo, and Datura holds an exceptional amount of promise as an immersive experience. Everything you do in Datura revolves around choice, and the game can play and end in any number of ways depending on the specific choices you make.
Datura in nature is also a flower known for its hallucinogenic properties, which makes perfect sense the second you begin to play the game for yourself. Surreal and dream-like, Datura can be played with the PlayStation Move controller or the DualShock, so you're never locked in to motion controls if you don't want to use them (or don't own a Move of your own). Datura is primed for release relatively soon, but perhaps our recent hands-on preview will give you an idea of what to expect in the meantime.
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock
This title might not technically be a PS3 exclusive, but PlayStation 3 is the only console getting the title (along with PlayStation Vita and PC). Either way, Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock looks quite promising. Under development at Sony second-party developer Supermassive Games, Doctor Who has been pushed around the release schedule a bit, but is still primed to come out very soon on the PlayStation Network.
Of course, how this game is connected to the television series is a very common question. The good news is that it's intimately connected to the BBC franchise, right down to the stars of the series, Matt Smith and Alex Kingston, lending full voiceovers to the project. Indeed, motion capture has also put those stars in the game more directly, making for a more believable television show tie-in than what otherwise may have been possible.
Dust 514
Sheer promise and potential is written all over Dust 514, the outrageously ambitious first-person shooter currently being developed by CCP. What's so potential-ridden and ambitious about Dust 514, you ask? It's simple. First off, Dust 514 will be available as a download on PlayStation Network, and it'll be given to PSN gamers completely free of charge (which a microtransaction economy within the game, of course). But it's the way the game intimately intertwines with another title that's not even playable on PlayStation 3 that's truly interesting.
You see, Dust 514 takes place in the same epic universe that CCP's MMO EVE Online does. That means that what happens in one game directly affects the other, bringing Dust 514's level of outrageousness to an unforeseen level in the history of gaming. EVE Online is all about epic ship-to-ship space battles; Dust 514 is all about what happens on the surface of planets. How this coordinated dance will actually shape-up remains to be seen, but if pulled off properly, Dust 514 could very well be one of the most important games of the generation in terms of the precedent it could set.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- The Illinois Senate has approved a measure that would protect consumers who buy a dog or cat at a pet store and then find out that the animal is seriously ill.
Lawmakers voted 31-18 Wednesday to send to the Illinois House the bill described as a "puppy lemon law."
The legislation would allow buyers to get a replacement or a full refund for the pet if the animal dies within 21 days of the purchase. Consumers also could seek damages for the cost of veterinary care.
Sen. Dan Kotowski is a Democrat from Park Ridge. He told legislators this bill is a consumer protection measure.
But Republican Sen. Dale Righter of Mattoon says it isn't because it excludes shelters and breeders.
The bill is SB 1639.

Senators, Devils meet for key battle in Jersey
The Ottawa Senators put the brakes on a five-game losing streak that had put their playoff chances in danger.
The New Jersey Devils' eight-game slide has already knocked the club outside of the postseason picture and they'll try to pick up a much-needed win on Friday when they host the Sens.
The Devils have fallen into 10th place in the Eastern Conference thanks to their longest losing streak since dropping eight in a row during the 1985-86 season. They are four points behind the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets for the eighth spot in the conference, but things could be worse.
New Jersey has kept within reach thanks to four post-regulation losses over its slide, but failed to secure a point in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Boston Bruins.
New Jersey gave up three goals in the first period and trailed 4-0 early in the second. Goals by Patrik Elias, Travis Zajac and Andy Greene made it a one- goal game, but Boston got some breathing room with Tyler Seguin's goal 7:33 into the third.
Matt D'Agostini tallied for the Devils with 37 seconds to play, but time ran out on the comeback bid.
"At the end of the day, there's only one team that's gonna give us a chance and it's ourselves. We have to have that attitude," said Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur, who made 13 saves on 18 shots faced.
All eight losses for the Devils have come since forward Ilya Kovalchuk suffered a sprained right shoulder on March 23 versus Florida, the date of New Jersey's last win. Though he is skating with the team and is nearing a return, he is unlikely to play tonight.
He won't be on the only player missing as Bryce Salvador took a shot off his wrist on Wednesday and did not return to the game, while defenseman Anton Volchenkov will begin serving a four-game suspension handed down on Thursday for an elbow to the head of Boston's Brad Marchand.
The franchise record for the longest losing streak in Devils history is 10, set from Oct. 14-Nov. 4, 1983.
The Sens will try to push the Devils one step closer to that mark after snapping a five-game slide with Thursday's 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. All five of those defeats came in regulation, but the two points earned last night has Ottawa tied with the New York Islanders for sixth in the East with a game in hand, and two points up on the Rangers and Jets.
Colin Greening had the game-winning goal late in the third period on Thursday while on the power play, while Zack Smith and Daniel Alfredsson added goals.
"It's something we almost felt was coming because I think that we've been playing pretty good the last few games and we stuck with it tonight," Alfredsson said. "It's two really important points for us."
Robin Lehner posted 24 saves for the Senators, who had lost the first four of a seven-game road trip that ends on Monday in Boston. Ottawa is just 7-11-3 on the road this season.
The Sens have picked up a pair of shootout wins over the Devils this season and are looking to sweep the season series for the first time in franchise history. They have lost eight of their past 10 in New Jersey, however.

Ex-North Carolina Gov. Jim Holshouser dies at 78
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Jim Holshouser, who was North Carolina's first Republican governor elected in the 20th century, has died. He was 78.
In a statement released by Gov. Pat McCrory's office, Holshouser's family said he had been in declining health before he died Monday at First Health of the Carolinas Medical Center in Pinehurst.
Holshouser was a state legislator who became North Carolina's youngest governor at age 38 when he was swept into office by President Richard Nixon's 1972 electoral landslide. He served a single term.
He is remembered for establishing rural health clinics, laying the plan for a criminal justice information system and reorganizing state government. He spoke against the death penalty for religious reasons.
Holshouser was an early supporter of McCrory, who became the state's first GOP governor of this century.
