'Canes ready to contend
The seniors who've been with the Warwick Vets boys' lacrosse team since their freshman seasons have seen it all. When they joined the program, it was in just its second year of existence – and they lived through a second straight winless season. The next year, they were part of the team's first victories, which ultimately led to a winning season. Last year, they took center stage in what could have been a rebuilding year, won five games and nearly made it to the Division III semifinals.
The 'Canes are hoping this year is really their time to shine. All but four contributors return from last season, and they're ready to deliver.
"Expectations are very high," said head coach Fred Schweizer. "We've got almost everybody coming back. I always have high expectations, but this being my fourth year, some of these kids have been with me since they were freshmen. They know me and they know how I do things. It's working out well."
The optimism is fueled in part by last year's performance. The 'Canes had to replace a good chunk of their lineup from the year before – and many of the players who'd been lost were the program's pioneers. With just a handful of seniors, there were some bumps in the road, but the team held its own and lost its first-round playoff game by a single goal.
"We didn't know what to expect last year," Schweizer said. "I was pleasantly surprised with the strides they made. They learned a lot and now they're building on that. They have expectations which are just as high as mine."
The 'Canes will have some level of experience at every spot on the field this season, a far cry from last year.
It starts in net, where goalie Kyle Corvese is back for his fourth year as the starter.
"That's huge," Schweizer said. "His experience and how familiar he is with everything is big for us. He's come a long way as a goalie and as a communicator. He's the leader of the defensive corps."
Corvese is serving as a captain, along with seniors John McNally and Will Hay. McNally will join Corvese in the back as a defender and he brings the same type of leadership to the table.
"Kyle and John work so well together," Schweizer said. "Having those two back there running the defense, guiding the other players really makes a huge difference for us."
McNally, senior Tyler Moran and junior Quentin Nason will handle the bulk of the defensive duties after doing the same last season.
Hay, another four-year player, will lead the charge in the midfield. A host of others return, as well, including seniors Steve Zaroogian and T.J. Zincone, junior John Flynn, and sophomores Chris DeFreitas and Mickenzey Pacheco. Newcomers Max Andrade and Dylan Robert are also poised to contribute. Up front, seniors Nate Brotman, Shawn Goff and Cody Sullivan are back to lead the attack.
And the experience is already showing.
"Their strength is how well they communicate," Schweizer said. "I haven't had a team that communicates as well as they do."
The 'Canes also seem to have the right focus.
"We're working on the basics," Schweizer said. "I've always been a fundamentals guy – ground balls and being patient on offense and defense. We want to allow the other team to make mistakes and then capitalize."
Now it's about making good on the potential. The 'Canes have been on the field for a few scrimmages and they'll open the season next Monday with a 3:45 p.m. game at Coventry.
They can't wait.
"Their desire and their drive is great," Schweizer said. "It's fun to see the electricity on the field. They're chomping at the bit to get out there."

Master Shake Gets Tattooed
Breaking News: I love surrealist, highly-offensive, stoner-cartoons.
That said, it should come as a surprise to no one that I am a huge fan of Cartoon Network's Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (nee: Aqua Teen Hunger Force). You can also imagine how giddy I was while watching the "Freedom Cobra" episode in which Master Shake gets tattooed in an effort to help him get laid. I won't spoil any further plot-points, but it had me dying with laughter (Marisa... not so much).
(the tattoo reads "Dangercity - Population: Me")
Adult Swim appears to have disabled their embed codes, so I can't post a clip in here, but you can view the entire episode on their site for free (or for a quick two minute clip which shows Master Shake's transformation to bad-assery, click here).

Rheal Cormier's jersey to be retired
The Community College of Rhode Island Department of Athletics will honor former major league pitcher Rheal Cormier '88 by retiring jersey No. 20 during a special ceremony at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, when the Knights host a doubleheader against Dean College at the Knight Campus in Warwick.
The first game of the doubleheader starts at noon with the ceremony to follow at 2 p.m. The second game will begin at 2:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. In the event of rain, the doubleheader will be canceled and the ceremony will be held in Room 4080 located on the fourth floor of the main building.
Cormier, a CCRI graduate and native of New Brunswick, Canada, pitched 16 years in the major leagues. The southpaw's 683 appearances for St. Louis (1991-94), Boston (1995, 1999-00), Montreal (1996-97), Philadelphia (2001-06) and Cincinnati (2006-07) represent the second most outings ever by a Canadian behind Paul Quantrill (841). He will be inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in St. Mary's, Ontario on June 23.
Cormier finished his major league career with 71 wins, a 4.03 ERA and 760 strikeouts in 1,221 innings pitched. He had the best season of his professional career with the Phillies in 2003, where he finished the season with an 8-0 win-loss record and a 1.70 ERA. In his two post-season appearances in 1995 and 1999 with Boston, he pitched in eight games, compiling a 1.08 ERA over eight innings with 10 strikeouts.
Before he was drafted in the sixth round by the St. Louis Cardinals, Cormier pitched for the CCRI baseball team from 1987-88. He led the Knights to a third-place finish in the Junior College World Series in 1988 and was selected to the All Junior College World Series Team. During his CCRI career, he was twice selected to the Junior College All-American First Team. He finished with a 19-1 win-loss record and holds the following CCRI career records: innings pitched (168); wins (19); ERA (1.13); and strikeouts (226). In single-season school records, he leads pitchers in starts (15); wins (12); innings pitched (96); and strikeouts (147).
Knights' Tennis Overcomes Ocean County
The CCRI Knights tennis team traveled to Toms River, N.J. to take on the Vikings of Ocean County College in their first mtach of the season. The Knights battled the Vikings and overcame the Region XIX team 7-2, avenging what was possibly the most crippling loss of the 2011 campaign.
Mike Fallone (North Providence) teamed-up with Anthony Lamborghini (Smithfield) in first doubles, defeating Lorenz Mascadia and William Humphries, 8-4. Timothy Holzinger (Foster) teamed up with Ross Bouchard (S. Kingstown) in second doubles, earning their first win in a collegiate tennis match over Gordon Fordyce and Matt Smith, 8-2. Nicholas DeAngelis (Northborough, Mass.) teamed up with Nicholas Morin (N. Smithfield) in third doubles, also earning their first collegiate victory over Frank Barillas and Taylor Carew, 8-2.
The Knights entered the singles with three points already in the bag, and needed only two of the six singles matches to clinch the overall match. Fallone defeated Mascadia in first singles 6-4, 6-2. Lamborghini defeated Humphries in second singles 6-1, 6-2. Holzinger fell to Fordyce 6-0, 6-2. DeAngelis defeated Smith in third singles 6-3, 6-2. Bouchard defeated Barillas in fifth singles 6-0, 6-0. Morin fell in a super-tie break for the third set 10-8, after battling back from a 6-1 first-set loss in sixth singles to Carew, to lose 6-1, 3-6, 1-0 (10-8).
"With this win, the team got off to an exciting start to the 2012 season," head coach Deb Pazienza said. "The players showed tremendous chemistry in doubles and our singles play was very strong. I am looking forward to the team building on this as we progress in our schedule."
Next the Knights will travel to Philadelphia, Penn. to scrimmage two-time defending National Champion Roadrunners of Gloucester County College, N.J.
Lady Knights beat NCMC Pirates
The CCRI Lady Knights softball team continued their play at the National Training Center in Clermont, Fla. The Lady Knights faced the Pirates of North Central Missouri College from Trenton, Mo. The Lady Knights defeated the Pirates 5-2. With the victory, the Lady Knights evened their record at 1-1 on the season.
Lady Knights' sophomore pitcher Michelle Sylvestre (Warwick) gained her first win of the 2012 season on the mound, striking out two Pirate batters and walking only one on the game. In addition she helped the Lady Knights' offense contributing two singles and two RBIs.
Also, captain Devin Azulay (Attleboro, Mass.) went 2-3 with two singles and two runs scored, Isabel MarcAurele (Cranston) came in as a pinch-hitter and smacked a powerful RBI double to left-center field and Katelyn Carroll (Coventry) added a single, a walk, a stolen base and was hit by a pitch.
"The second game today was a much better played game all around both offensively and defensively," head coach Liz Afonso said. "The mixed up lineup offensively seemed to work better this second game."
Lady Knight lose opener in Florida
The CCRI Lady Knights softball team opened their season at the National Training Center in Clermont, Fla. on Monday. The Lady Knights faced the Golden Eagles of Rock Valley Community College from Rockford, Ill. The Lady Knights fell to the Golden Eagles 7-3. With the loss the Lady Knights began the season 0-1.
The Lady Knights came out strong in the first inning, drawing first blood by scoring a run early on. Nissa Perez (Warwick) walked to lead of the game. From there, the speedster stole second and third base to later be hit home by Ashley Olson (Coventry) in the first. Unfortunately, CCRI's offense did not come alive much more than that, gaining only six hits on the game. Defensively, freshman captain Mel Iadeluca (Warwick) made an excellent diving catch in right field to save some runs in the third inning.
At the plate the Lady Knights got two hits and an RBI from Olson and two hits a walk and one RBI from Carroll and a hit and run scored from Kyrie Craig (Warwick).
Lady Knights lose to Lackawanna
The CCRI Lady Knights basketball team traveled back to the Monroe Athletic Complex in New Rochelle, N.Y. to compete in the District N Championship Tournament. The Lady Knights were the No. 1 seed, facing-off against the No. 4 seed Falcons of Lackawanna College from Scranton, Penn. in the first semifinal game. The Lady Knights fell to the Falcons 73-65. With the loss their season ends with a 19-12 record, while winning their ninth consecutive Region XXI Championship.
CCRI jumped out to a hot start, leading by 18 points at the 12-minute mark in the first half before the Falcons called a timeout. From there, the Falcons slowly built momentum, which they would not relinquish. Going into the half, CCRI still led 37-31. The Lady Knights started the second half slowly and never recovered. Lackawanna maintained a lead for most of the second half and won the game.
The Lady Knights were led by captain Jahira Smith (Norwich, Conn.), who scored 19 points with eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals. For the season, Smith led the Lady Knights in four statistical categories, scoring 502 points, setting CCRI single-season records with 121 free throws made, 183 assists, and 128 steals. Also having a big game was Jessica Randall (Warwick) – who matched Smith with 19 points and eight rebounds of her own – Moe Plummer (Fairfield, Conn.), who chipped in 10 points and two steals, and Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, Conn.), who added seven points, six rebounds and five assists.
"We knew coming out of halftime that whoever controlled the first five minutes of the second half would win the game," head coach Kate Lynch said. Unfortunately, that wasn't us. When the effort isn't there from all five players on the floor for 40 minutes, it's tough to beat a team who wants it more. Lackawanna was that team today, and we weren't able to weather the storm."

7 Tried & True Must-Have Products
I'm a sucker for multi-purpose products: pigments, cream and liquid paints, mixing mediums, etc. I like to custom-blend just about everything! Not everyone feels the same way, though, and sometimes, it's nice to have one product that does a job and does it well. These are some of my tried-and-true favorites from a few different companies (hopefully some that you haven't heard of before)!
Estée Lauder Pure Color Lipstick | Their Long Lasting Cream finishes are some of the best lipsticks I own. They cover well and feel luxurious on the lips. The BEST ones are almost always limited edition. Favorites in the Permanent Range: Cherry Passion, Melon and Rose Tea.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars | I'm actually not a huge fan of these on the lips, but, OH, the blushes these make! They last forever and blend like a dream (they DO have mint in them though so avoid the eye area). Favorites: Cha-Cha and Divine.
Face Atelier Ultra Sheer | I love these liquid luminizers because you can mix them with foundation, cream blush or bronzer for glowing skin or apply them on their own (I use a fluffy blush brush) for a natural highlighting effect. Favorites: Champagne.
Terra Firma Gel Mineral Matte Finish Bronzer | I use this on myself all the time. It's highly pigmented (I dilute it with body lotion), long-wearing, won't rub off on clothes and looks SO amazingly natural – If most bronzers are too orange for you, look no further! (There's also a shimmering version if you like to twinkle.)
MAC Reflects Glitters | A MAC PRO exclusive (but anyone can buy from MAC PRO). I've used these in a multitude of ways: mixing custom lip gloss, over mascara for sparkling lashes, on top of just any eye look, pressed over lipstick for a metallic foil effect, as a face and body highlight, worked into a hairstyle, etc. Not many things are THIS pretty! (Be aware that MAC lists these products as "not for use in the eye area.") Favorites: Reflects Bronze, Reflects Gold and Reflects Transparent Teal.
MAC Blot Powder and Purely Cosmetics Diamond Perfect Finish Powder | My two favorite setting powders! Blot Powder by MAC is perfect for mattifying a look without adding any color or texture. Diamond Perfect Finish Powder by Purely Cosmetics is a transparent loose powder that easily outperforms the transparent powders I have from MAC and MUFE (smoother application, better line diffusing AND it doesn't bounce light back in photography).

Car Deals
Truck Deals: December 2012
It's the last month of the year, which means many automakers are offering strong incentives to meet year-end sales goals. That's especially true in the pickup truck segment, where automakers can heavily boost sales thanks to high volumes. We've rounded up our favorite December truck deals for shoppers looking to get a great truck at a great price by the end of 2012.
Chevrolet Silverado
Chevrolet's full-size Silverado pickup is available with a host of offers in December, regardless of whether you're looking to lease, finance, or purchase outright. For lease shoppers, Chevrolet says a 2013 Silverado 1500 extended cab is available for 39 months at $309 per month after $2,069 at signing - provided drivers keep the odometer below 39,000 miles. For cash buyers, Chevrolet is offering $3,000 back on nearly all 2013 models - an offer that jumps to $4,000 for the 2014 Silverado. And for shoppers looking to finance, Chevrolet is offering zero percent interest for up to 60 months plus $1,000 cash back on both 2012 and 2013 models.

Ford F-150
December deals on Ford's full-size F-150 pickup focus on cash buyers. Leftover 2012 regular cab models offer up to $2,500 cash back. Super Cab and Super Crew deals can reach up to $3,000 back. That's the same deal Ford is offering on 2013 models, which are highly similar to the 2012 F-150. Ford is also offering interest rates as low as 1.9 percent for up to 36 months or 2.9 percent for 48 months. While that's not the zero percent the brand made available in November, the deal is sweetened by an additional $1,000 cash back on top of those low rates.
GMC Canyon
Remaining 2012 versions of GMC's midsize Canyon truck are good deals in December. According to GM, shoppers interested in buying the truck outright can get up to $1,500 cash back on an extended cab model, or $1,000 cash back on a crew cab. For buyers who would prefer to finance, GMC is offering 1.9 percent interest for up to 60 months, reducing interest payments. And as 2012 supply dwindles, we think GMC dealers would be willing to supplement GM's discounts, tacking on their own low prices beyond the automaker's already enticing deals.
Nissan Titan
Shoppers interested in Nissan's full-size Titan pickup can find great deals this month, whether they're looking to finance the truck, lease it, or buy it with cash. Cash buyers get the best deal, as Nissan is offering nearly $5,000 back on most versions of the pickup. For lease shoppers, Nissan says the truck starts at just $499 per month for 39 months after $2,999 at lease signing. And buyers looking to finance the truck can get zero percent interest for up to 36 months, or 0.9 percent for up to 60 months, meaning you won't pay much interest regardless of the loan's term.
Find the Nissan Titan for sale
Toyota Tundra
Great deals are available on Toyota's full size Tundra pickup in December. For shoppers looking to finance the truck, Toyota is offering zero percent interest for a whopping 60 months plus $750 cash back. That's one of the best truck deals on the market. Those who would rather lease a new Tundra can get a well-equipped Double Cab for 36 months at $299 per month after $2,999 down. And for drivers looking to buy a Tundra with cash, Toyota is offering up to $2,750 back on most 2013 models, or a whopping $4,000 back on leftover 2012s.
Find the Toyota Tundra for sale
What it means to you: If you're interested in a new pickup, December is a great time to buy.

(BPT) – Life with kids is fast-paced, challenging and can be stressful. So, it's always good to stay up on helpful parenting tips and advice – whether you're a first-time mom, an experienced dad, or a seasoned grandmother.
Actor and comedian David Koechner – who appears in Anchorman and "The Office" – is the father of five children with the youngest, Eve, still in diapers. Over the past 13 years of raising children, David and his wife, Leigh, have experienced countless moments and mishaps – and have some great tips on how to tackle busy adventures in parenthood with honesty and humor.
"Find something your family enjoys doing together and make it a weekly activity," Koechner says. "We have Friday night family night where we make a big dinner and play games. We purposely make a huge mess that takes all of our Koechner army to clean up – but it is fun and something we look forward to and do together every week."
Here are more of David's tips and advice for navigating messes and stresses with little ones throughout the whole day.
* Morning: With multiple children – getting everyone up and out the door can be a challenge. Even our youngest Eve is on the go and wants to join her brothers and sisters on the school bus. She tries to toddle off after them, usually in just her diaper. But, that's why we like Huggies Little Movers Diapers – because she likes to 'move it, move it' – and with the SnugFit waistband her diaper stays in place and keeps her dry no matter what she's trying to get into.
* Noon: By midday, it's usually time to take a deep breath. Your schedule might have been thrown off course thanks to the messes that have popped up – but take a beat and try to laugh about it. Make a funny video on your phone and show it to your kids when they get home; you can make some pretty hilarious memories at the same time.
* Night: Ah, finally you can try to relax after getting up three times for glasses of water, tucks into bed and picking blankies up off the floor. Thankfully, Eve has stopped trying to climb out of her crib – we still keep a close eye on her, but know she's safe and won't be waking up with a leaky diaper. Huggies Overnites Diapers help her stay dry for up to 12 hours between her twists and turns so we're able to actually get some sleep ourselves.
Remember to take things in stride. Try putting these tips and advice to the test in your own life and enjoy some laughs with your family.

Seahawks Fan Honors Marshawn Lynch With Super-Delicious Skittles Suit [PHOTOS]
We found a Seattle Seahawks fan who took his obsession for Marshawn Lynch to a whole new level.
This Seattle native told us he used over 3,000 Skittles and that it took "900 man hours" to create his head-to-toe Skittles-covered suit. Lynch, of course, is well known for his love of the candy.
"One Skittle at a time, bro," the fan said. "You stick it down, hold it there till it dries."
With all the time it took to put this together, I immediately pictured this guy unemployed, sitting in his mother's basement, gluing Skittles all day. But yet somehow he was taken aback when I asked if he had a job.
"Yeah I have a job! I hope so! How did I pay for them?!" he said.
Oh, and for everyone wondering? Yes, it's battery-pack operated as well where "BOOM" and "BEAST MODE" light up.
"When it's dark out, this will be amazing!" he said.
We salute you, Skittles man!

the dumb stuff you hear in rap is only in the mainstream. turn off mtv and the radio and there's plenty of great artists out there. you just gotta put in some effort to find them. guys like lupe fiasco or little brother are great.
in the next two years, a lot of the ignorance will be eliminated because it's no longer selling.

lupe fiasco - sunshine - this song is "cute". it's on lupe's food & liquor album. i mean it's the opposite of the above song, very general but it's nice and poetic. i like it better than common - the light and pharoahe monch - the light which are very similiar (haha, all 3 with similar titles). you could check those too though because they are cool.
ghostface killah - camay - this song is pretty cool. just has ghostface, capadonna and raekwon doing their hip hop love ballad thing over a haunting rza beat. it's hilarious that this and wildflower are on the same album.
methodman - all i need - you probably already know this song. this has to be the essential east coast love song.

I actually just copied the name of the thread from the Narutofan forums without giving much thought to it.
I mainly wanted a thread for current listeners and newcomers alike to discuss hip hop and rap without all the pointless bashing.
And yes, my tastes in hip hop at the moment are rather biased hence my posts regarding the music are going to reflect my current position on the condition of hip hop.

So what are some standout hiphop albums of 2007 so far? I haven't really listened any new rap this year. Just been listening to Lupe Fiasco, Ghost Face, Subtle, a little bit of Sage and Tech n9ne lately.
Check out Cool Calm Pete and Babbletron guys. His stuff isn't exactly new but he's got some pretty cool tracks. I especially recommend Babbletron's Space Tech Banana Clip It's some hardcore nerd rap somewhat similar to MF Doom. I think you can check it out on their myspace page, thats where I stubbled across them.

Nothing really good has come out in the mainstream or underground, T.I had the potential to deliver a pretty decent mainstream album but a lot of weak tracks were on it. Help Is Coming is the easy standout track.
Common's new album has leaked on the internet, I'm going to buy it though so my opinions on it will be rather late.

Talib Kweli - Eardrum
Canibus - For Whom The Beat Tolls
Pharoahe Monch - Desire
solid but not so WOW release:
Common - Finding Forever
not too many releases this year, but there's still time left so we'll see

i haven't been into kweli for a while but i just heard half of eardrum and i think it's pretty good.
monch's desire is way too weird for me but ironically i'm feeling the canibus album which is even weirder ( @ the female news anchor, cosmonauts, and 2(!?) 400 bar songs).
finding forever is straight but disappointing.

I will be a very happy man then. One of my fav rap albums of all time.
On another note IGN had an article about some 07 rap albums to check out. One of their suggestions really stood out to me, Sharkey & C-Rayz Walz are...Monster Maker. I listened to a couple tracks off their myspace and was blown away. The album doesn't come out till the 7/31 though.
Check it out. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=89420221

Those people absolutely DO NOT DESERVE to be on that list.
50 Cent especially is absolutely whack and needs to be shot and killed.
How the living hell is Rakim not on that list? The god MC?
The only person I can almost maybe see myself agreeing with is Common.
WTF at Jim Jones at number 10?
my top 10 in random order:
Big Daddy Kane
Kool G. Rap
Keith Murray
Pharoahe Monch
Guru (GangStarr)
Metal Face Doom
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien
Top 10 Honorable mentions:
Devin The Dude
Sadat X
Percee P
Kool Moe Dee
Big Punisher
Chuck D
Ras Kass
Up and Coming:
Lupe Fiasco
Iron Solomon
The Saurus
The Emcee (Jin Tha Emcee)
These lists aren't perfectly accurate, as I spent a great deal of time debating who I should put where and whatnot and I still am debating.

Even though I think that list is a joke you do realize that it is talking about right now as well as from a commercial point of view? What exactly have Rakim, KRS and Kane done lately? Kool G Rap is past his prime as he got outdone by Young Chris of all people on a track lately.
I also have no idea how you can put that monotone waste of beats Guru on your list and not have Andre 3000 and Scarface. Big Punisher and no Jay-Z? You do realize if he had lived he would've been just as commercial as Jay-Z and I'll still take Reasonable Doubt over Capital Punishment even though both were classics.. no song on RD was as bad as Punish Me...
Ras Kass has been an utter disappointment since his first album, isn't he signed (or trying to be) with G-Unit now? Tonedeff has been up and coming for what the last 6 years?

Im surpirse no one has mentioned Blackilious, Lyrics Born or any of the other groups/colaberations associated with the Quannum Projects. I would highly recommend.
And for those who like to go back a few years - Pete Rock & CL Smooth. "They Reminisce Over You" is a definate favourite.

Caliper for measuring human skulls, United States, 1999
Skeletal biologists use spreading calipers such as this to measure human skulls. Such measurements can provide much information about the former owner of the skull. This includes their age, sex and often their general health. This specialist device was developed by Jim Kondrat, of Paleo-Tech Instruments. He is an anthropologist based in Wheeling, Illinois. Professionals working in forensic science can also use it.

Since Neophyte is finished, now everybody in my family knows about it. My grandpa has asked me to build a robot for him. He lives out in the country and has a garden. His problem is that in the summer deer get into his garden and eat his flowers. Im working on a robot for him which will have a "body heat sensor" (PIR sensor), so that when is senses movement from a deer it will advance forward and make noise and blink lights. I think ill name this bot Sentinel instead of Mr. Turtle. I'm having some trouble with getting the PIR sensor to work. I think I'll just buy a motion detector from Goodwill or something and hack the board.
Meanwhile, I am working on a second robot that is designed to pick up black, red, and white blocks, read the color, and sort them. I can add a line detector on this bot so that it will stay within a designated area. Also, I will make the microcontroller count how many blocks it has picked up, so that after it has picked up the given amount of blocks it will power itself off. I just finished disigning the gripper and i plan to go the Home Depot today to get the supplies.

December`s contenders for PFA Fans` Player of the Month Award
The leading contenders for the PFA Fans' Player of the Month Awards* for December have been announced.
Voting for this month`s award closes at midnight on December 31.
The Premier League`s 'big four` may have all suffered minor hic-cups at the weekend, but their star performers are still get plenty of votes of confidence from the fans.
Premier League
Cesc Fabregas – Arsenal
Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester Utd
Nicolas Anelka – Chelsea
Stephen Ireland – Manchester City
Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
Fans can vote for their player of the month by >>Clicking Here>>
When it comes to the race to become the final PFA Fans` Player of the Month in 2008, the likes of Ronaldo, Fabregas, Anelka and Gerrard are once again in the running. One player currently trying to break up the Fab Four`s monopoly is Manchester City`s all-action midfielder Stephen Ireland. Even though he`s surrounded by expensive, superstar characters like Robinho, Jo and Shaun Wright-Phillips, Ireland has been the club`s outstanding performer this season. Consistently so too, as manager Mark Hughes has pointed out on numerous occasions. Ireland has scored six goals in 16 appearances already this season and continues to impress even though results haven`t been going City`s way of late.
After one recent man-of-the-match performance, Hughes said of Ireland: 'He was outstanding again and he has been in almost every single game he's played in this year. He worked extremely hard in the summer and he came back fit and strong and wanted to be a part of what we're doing here. He`s enjoying his football at the moment and he's having a real impact in every game he plays.'
Kevin Phillips – Birmingham City
Lee Carsley – Birmingham City
Julian Speroni – Crystal Palace
Kevin Doyle – Reading
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake – Wolves
Fans can vote for their player of the month by >>Clicking Here>>
In the Championship, it`s no surprise to see the top two clubs – Wolves and Birmingham – being well represented on the current leader board with a couple of weeks of voting to go.
Reading`s Kevin Doyle, the division`s leading scorer and a former monthly winner, is also in the frame, along with Crystal Palace keeper Julian Speroni who has helped the Eagles maintain their impressive push for promotion. Veteran striker Kevin Phillips continues to poll plenty of votes, as does Wolves` 14-goal leading scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake who, along with the likes of Michael Kightly, has been linked with a possible January move to a Premier League club.
Wolves` boss Mick McCarthy though is not interested in selling off his best assets with a return to the Premier League in the offing, and he said recently: 'I have said that I will tell any club to politely go away, as will the chief executive and the chairman. None of them are going anywhere.'
In Leagues One and Two, the likes of goal aces Matty Fryatt, Neil Harris and Peter Thorne are staking strong claims.
Bas Savage Tranmere
Lee Peacock – Swindon
Luciano Becchio – Leeds
Matt Fryatt – Leicester
Neil Harris – Millwall
League 2:
Luke O'Brien – Bradford
Marc Richards – Port Vale
Peter Thorne – Bradford
Shane Cansdel – Sherriff – Shrewsbury
Terry Dunfield – Macclesfield Town
Voting for this month`s award closes at midnight on December 31. Register your vote for the player you think has been the star performer in his respective division this month: www.fansaward.givemefootball.com
About the PFA Fans` Player of the Month Awards
Every month of the football season, four fans who have voted for the divisional winners get the chance to present the PFA Fans` Player of the Month Award to their football hero on the pitch at a home game. One of the yearly fan winners will be invited to the prestigious PFA Player of the Year Awards dinner.
The awards are endorsed by the players and supported by the Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two clubs and The Fans Supporters Federation. The PFA's commitment to this award confirms the organisation's belief that fans, as well as players, are the lifeblood of the game.

Is Taylor Martinez Done at Nebraska? His Dad Thinks So
There's been a lot of speculation about the status of injured Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez and his ability to recover from a serious foot injury before his senior season ends with a late season bowl game.
If you believe Martinez's father, Casey, #3 has taken his final snap in a Cornhusker uniform.
Casey Martinez, in an email to The Associated Press, called the injury, near the ball of the left foot, 'debilitating' and believes it may take another 3-4 months to fully heal.
Taylor's injury happened in week one and after several months of rehab we have discovered that the more he does on it the worse that it gets. Very, very unfortunate location and aggravating injury that can't be toughed out.
This is a nightmare way to finish your college career, by getting this kind of injury in the first week of the season, which essentially has cost Taylor his whole senior season as well as many team and personal goals.
I hate to speculate and make a bold statement that his college career is over, although, as Bo (Pelini) stated, it doesn't look good.
Martinez has played in just four games this season, sitting out three games before returning to play at Minnesota October 26th. He's missed the last two games against Northwestern and Michigan.
The Corona, California native has been the starter at Nebraska since his freshman year. He holds career school records for total offense, yards passing and touchdown passes.
Asked at his Monday news conference about the possibility of Martinez playing again this season, head coach Bo Pelini said:
I don't know if the chances are real good.
Nebraska hosts Michigan State Saturday, in a game you can hear live on ESPN 99.1 at 2:30pm.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. – Mickey Inns passed for 261 yards and career-high five touchdowns and No. 3 Linfield pounded Northwest Conference rival Whitworth 54-14 on a crisp fall afternoon at Maxwell Field. Saturday's Homecoming victory pushed Linfield's record to 5-0, assuring the Wildcats of their 57th winning season while extending the program's remarkable all-divisions record for sustained success.
The three-time defending NWC champions overwhelmed Whitworth during the opening three periods, building a 54-0 advantage while outgaining the Pirates 524-75 in the game's first 45 minutes. The Linfield offense enjoyed its most productive day by far, turning eight of its 15 drives into touchdowns and converting half of its third-down opportunities.
Sparking the defensive effort was freshman defensive tackle Marq Randall, who ended the game with a team-high seven tackles. Nick Pietrzyk, Jordan Giza and Billy Simon each contributed five stops. KeAlii Poomaihealani made four tackles, two for sacks accounting for 18 yards in losses.
An interception by Brandon Funk of a Bryan Peterson pass deep in Pirates' territory set up the game's first score. Funk's pickoff spotted the ball at the Whitworth 18 and Inns needed just one play to find Deidre Wiersma on a 13-yard touchdown toss. Whitworth went three-and-out on the ensuing possession, and after a short punt, Linfield tailback John Shaffer ran eight yards for a touchdown. The extra point by Josh Kay made it 14-0 with 2:26 remaining in the quarter. The Pirates ran 14 plays in the first quarter, netting a paltry 17 yards in the process.
The Wildcats opened up the second quarter with an immediate score when Inns threw a picture-perfect 31-yard spiral to Charlie Poppen that put the Wildcats up 21-0. Linfield added one more score before the end of the half as Wiersma pulled in his second touchdown of the day from eight yards out.
Linfield handcuffed the Pirates to just 29 yards and three first downs I the first half. Peterson was sacked him four times before intermission, including two by Poomaihealani. In his first career start, Shaffer rolled up 97 of his game-high 108 rushing yards in the first quarter, despite wearing a padded cast that protected a fractured right hand.
The floodgates opening up in the third quarter when Inns and the Wildcats rang up three more scores over a six-minute stretch. Inns tossed two scoring strikes, including a 28-yard missile to David Sigler and an 8-yard dagger to Zach Young that effectively put the game out of reach at 41-0. Reserve quarterback Josh Yoder came replaced Inns and led the Wildcats on back-to-back scoring drives — one a 52-yard pass to Evan Peterson and a 6-yard toss to Derek Priestly with 1:14 left in the third quarter.
The Pirates averted the shutout with a couple of meaningless touchdowns against Linfield backups in the final quarter. Austin Ehlo broke the drought with a 6-yard reception from Peterson with 6:00 to play and D.J. Tripoli ran 20 yards for another score with just over a minute left on the clock.
Linfield outgained Whitworth 585-225, including a 355-142 differential through the air. Nine different Wildcats carried the ball as Linfield rushed for a season-high 230 yards.
Inns completed 23-of-32 throws without an interception and the Wildcats' offensive line did not surrender a sack. Linfield's backup quarterbacks were sparkling in their brief appearances. Yoder competed 5-of-5 for 78 yards and a touchdown. Third-stringer Matt Yarbrough was 3-for-3 for 16 yards.
Thirteen Wildcats were credited with receptions in the game and five different players caught touchdowns. Poppen's five catches for 68 yards and Peterson's four receptions for 86 yards topped the statistical summary. Wiersma finished with four catches for 40 yards and two scores while Lucas Jepson had four catches for 39 yards.
'CAT SCRATCH: Saturday's Homecoming attendance was 3,596. . . after their opening drive, three Whitworth possessions netted minus-14 yards. . . the Pirates managed 29 yards in the first half and just 75 through three quarters. . . Whitworth came into the game averaging 31.5 points and 378 yards of offense. . .Pirates tailback Ronnie Thomas, the NWC's second-leading rusher, was averaging 126.6 yards on the ground but departed with 16 yards rushing on 14 carries. . . Linfield won its Homecoming game for the 15th straight season. . . about 75 former Linfield football players welcomed the team to the field during the annual Walk of Honor. . . Florida State ranks second behind Linfield with 35 consecutive winning seasons while Mount Union is third on the active list with 34 straight winning campaigns.
NEXT: The Wildcats travel to Portland Saturday to play the Lewis and Clark Pioneers at 1 p.m. at Griswold Stadium.

The information you read in 2008 still stands today, even though the Irish economy has taken an almighty battering since that time. In 2008 Ireland and the U.S. signed a reciprocal visa agreement that allows citizens from both countries to travel to Ireland or the U.S. for 12 months on a working holiday visa.
Ireland has similar working holiday authorizations with a number of other countries, including Argentina, Japan, Canada and New Zealand.
U.S. applicants must be in college, or a college graduate within the last 12 months. (This also applies to Irish applicants wishing to come here for a year.)
Applications for the visa must be submitted to the Irish Embassy in Washington, D.C., or the Irish consulate nearest to the applicant's residence. The application form and instruction can be found at the following link: http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=73713.
Applicants must have a bank statement showing that they have the equivalent of €1,500 (about $2,100) in funds that can be used in Ireland, and a return airline ticket, or else the equivalent of €3,000. They must also provide copies of current college transcripts or a degree, and an application fee of €250 (the embassy/consulate can provide relevant exchange rate information at the time of application).
Once the application is approved the visa will be issued for 12 months. It is not renewable or extendable once it expires.
"I am writing from Ireland. I am sure that you've received this question many times before, but I'd like to move to America this year to live with an aunt and uncle who own a successful restaurant that I could work at. Is there a way of doing this legally? I would still like to travel back and forth to Ireland for the holidays."
Yes, we've received the question before, and the answer is pretty much the same – there really isn't a quick and legal way that this can be accomplished.
Your aunt and uncle can't really do much for you in the way of visa sponsorship, either through the family or employment connection. There is a green card category for unskilled workers, but it takes years to obtain one of these visas and the paperwork and effort is substantial.
You don't provide much information about yourself – age, educational background – but perhaps you'd be eligible for an internship program. You should also apply for the annual DV-1 green card lottery that the U.S. conducts each fall.

Devils aim to snap slide against Islanders
The New Jersey Devils have been scraping by lately with one-point results in each of their last three games.
The New York Islanders will try to stop the Devils from gaining a point on Monday, as the Atlantic Division rivals fight for playoff positioning at New Jersey's Prudential Center.
The Devils have lost three straight outings but have managed to record a point in five consecutive games, going 2-0-3 over that stretch.
New Jersey currently sits seventh in the East's playoff standings and is four points ahead of the Islanders and New York Rangers, who are tied for the conference's eighth and final playoff berth. The Rangers also are in action Monday, as they host the Winnipeg Jets.
While the Devils are staying afloat with their recent point streak, the Islanders had won a season-high three straight games before getting dealt a 2-0 setback Saturday in Pittsburgh. The Islanders fired 35 shots on net but Tomas Vokoun stopped every one to help lead the mighty Penguins to their 15th consecutive victory.
Evgeni Nabokov came up with 25 saves for the Islanders, who went 0-for-4 on the power play in Saturday's loss.
"That hurt us big time today," Islanders center John Tavares said of the power play. "We had a lot of shots on net, but we didn't have too many great scoring chances. When you get your chances, you've got to find a way to score."
Despite the regulation loss, the Islanders still own a solid 10-5-1 record as the guest this season. New York is capping a three-game road trip tonight and will host the Jets on Tuesday.
Islanders forward Josh Bailey left Saturday's game after falling awkwardly into the end boards and is questionable for Monday. Bailey was pushed from behind by Pittsburgh's Chris Kunitz, who was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit.
The Devils, meanwhile, have lost three straight games without sniper Ilya Kovalchuk in the lineup. Kovalchuk suffered a shoulder injury in a home game against Florida on March 23 and New Jersey followed with an 0-0-3 road trip that ended with Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
After losing a pair of shootout losses without Kovalchuk, who is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-4 weeks, the Devils were done in by Dmitry Kulikov's game-winner 1:43 into overtime on Saturday.
In the extra session, Kulikov had the puck poke-checked away from him by Martin Brodeur on a short break, but the puck came over to the left circle. From there, Brian Campbell fired it over to the right and Kulikov sent the disc into the far side for the win.
Steve Bernier scored both goals for the Devils and Brodeur made 27 saves in the loss.
"You know we keep getting points and that's a positive thing," said Brodeur. "The teams around us have been struggling a little so it's been a little easier to take. But at the same time we're going to have to start winning hockey games."
Saturday's loss dropped the Devils to 5-6-7 on the road this season, but the club will try to bounce back at Prudential, where New Jersey has built a solid 10-5-2 mark in 2013.
Monday's contest is the fifth and final scheduled meeting between the Devils and Isles this season. The clubs split the first four encounters of 2013, but New Jersey has claimed five of seven overall.
New Jersey has won four of the last six meetings in the Garden State.

Everywhere you looked today fans were excited by the coming to life of the team especially in the 2nd half. The D was attacking. The O was in sync.
Anyone have any idea of something happening in the 2nd half that might have triggered this change. [Woodley's INT was in the 1st half]
I jokingly gave credit for the change to the Steelers taking a slug of Uncle Richie's magic elixir cure-all at halftime. I tried to post some pictures of those old west medicine man wagons and advertisements from that era but they would not post. That was supposed to be the antidote to that negative post about the Steelers losing a lot of 4thQ leads called Uncle Richies #1 D which was was funny but not too flattering.
But anyway you get the idea. There was a very noticeable change all round in the teams play. What caused it?
Could it have been Uncle Richie's Tonic? The ad did say Transform your sluggish, listless defense into a powerful energetic force instantly blah blah ----
Anybody think of a more logical reason for the turnaround?

Wild swings in sentiment have driven brutal spikes in volatility over the last year and are likely to continue doing so in the context of substantial macroeconomic uncertainty. How can investors gain exposure to the stocks that outperform in these conditions while avoiding short-term drawdowns?
Our answer is time-tested: diversification reinforced by a focus on strong stock fundamentals.
Key points
- As market volatility has risen, the frequency and severity of rotations
has also increased
- The areas of the market impacted most vary with each rotation, making
it impossible to forecast the outlook for regions, sectors and stocks
- Without such prescience, diversification is essential in defending a
portfolio against these rotations
- This, combined with a dynamic approach to risk and an emphasis on
strong fundamentals, enables us to weather volatility and capture upside
Can Brazil's golden glow linger?

Karma works in strange ways.
On the same day the Cowboys parted with Terrell Owens, the Eagles have traded Owens' most fervent Eagles acolyte, reserve wideout Greg Lewis, to New England. The Birds get a fifth-rounder this year, bringing them up to an even dozen picks in the April 25-26 draft. They send the Pats a 2010 seventh-rounder.
Lewis entered the league as an Eagles undrafted free agent in 2003 (that was the year all the guys they drafted stunk and all the undrafted free agents they signed were good. Go figure). He showed promise, humor and wit, before falling under the spell of Darth Owens during T.O.'s two-year sojourn in green. Lewis, badly overmatched when the Eagles made him a starter following Owens' suspension in 2005, quickly soured on the media and spent the rest of his Eagles career being surly and sarcastic. He had good hands, and was an able special teams performer, though this past season he seemed to take an inordinate amount of special teams penalties.
For some reason, Pats coach Bill Belichick has always coveted Lewis. Belichick was able to make Jabar Gaffney into a productive wideout after the Eagles released him, so maybe he knows something we don't.

Question: If a permanent deacon gets divorced and remarried, would he still be a permanent deacon?
Answer: No, a man in that situation could not continue to function as a permanent deacon. However, some distinctions are necessary so as to clarify the answer.
While celibacy is not required of a married man who becomes a permanent deacon, celibacy does apply to some permanent deacons. First, if an unmarried man becomes a permanent deacon, he is required to promise celibacy at his ordination and to remain celibate for the rest of his life. Secondly, if the spouse of a permanent deacon dies, he is expected to live celibately from that point forward.
In the unfortunate situation you describe of a deacon who is divorced, he also would be expected to live celibately from that point forward.
In the thankfully rare situation where permanent deacons become divorced, the local bishop usually permits such a deacon to continue ministering as a deacon. But the bishop also needs to ensure that the deacon did all he could to reasonably save his marriage, and did not casually cast aside his marital vows, which would be a scandal. Presuming this can be assured and that scandal can be avoided, the bishop can permit a divorced permanent deacon to continue ministering. But, as already stated, he must live celibately from that point forward.
What if the deacon were to refuse to follow Church law, either by flagrantly divorcing and remarrying or by remarrying after the death of a spouse? In such cases, he would be suspended from practicing his ministry as a deacon and likely be laicized. Since ordination confers a character, he would still, technically, be a deacon but could in no way perform the ministry of the diaconate.
Question: Where does the word "Lent" come from? In my native Spanish we just call the season cuaresma, which seems more descriptive.
Answer: You are right. The Latin title for this period is Quadragesima and is best translated, "40th day (before Easter)" or more loosely "the 40 days." Most of the Romance Languages keep this root in their words for the season (e.g. cuaresma, quaresma, carême, quaresima) and these are, as you say, more descriptive and less abstract.
The word "Lent" seems to come from Germanic roots wherein the words lenz and lente refer to the spring season when the days "lengthen." Thus the word "Lent" describes less the liturgical time frame and more the seasonal one. So, as the days lengthen and our thoughts move to Easter, beginning 40 days before, we spend time spiritually preparing for that greatest feast of the Church's year.
The notion of 40 days of course reminds us of the 40 days Christ spent in the desert fasting and praying in preparation for his public ministry. We are encouraged to go into the desert with him spiritually and thus also be strengthened through the spiritual exercises of resisting temptation, praying and fasting. "Giving up something" for Lent is not merely for its own sake, but rather to make room for other things. Thus, if we forgo some lawful pleasure, we can perhaps be freer to pray.

Clarkson University teams with BTEC
It makes good sense for two organizations that promote good science to work together, so Clarkson University's Institute for a Sustainable Environment has joined the Biomass Thermal Energy Council to promote improved technology for heating.
For many people who do not have access to piped gas, wood combustion represents a cost-effect approach to heat their homes or buildings. However, current wood appliances waste energy and generate air pollution.
"Over the past few years, much research -- largely with NYSERDA support -- has been directed toward getting more efficient wood burners in place," says Phillip K. Hopke, Clarkson's Bayard D. Clarkson Distinguished Professor, director of Clarkson's Institute for a Sustainable Environment and director of Clarkson's Center for Air Resources Engineering & Science. "Some trade associations are pushing hard for the status quo, so it's good sense for ISE to collaborate with an organization that's pushing for better technology."
The Clarkson Institute for a Sustainable Environment is home to the University's environmental activities associated with research, interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate degree programs, and its outreach programs. ISE's mission is to facilitate the development, promotion and operation of environmental activities within the University and among its partners.
The Biomass Thermal Energy Council, or BTEC, is a non-profit association of biomass fuel producers, appliance manufacturers and distributors, supply chain companies and non-profit organizations that view biomass thermal energy as a renewable, responsible, clean and energy-efficient pathway to meeting America's energy needs.
BTEC engages in research, education, and public advocacy for the fast growing biomass thermal energy industry. Council members span most states and include landowners, biomass fuel producers, appliance manufacturers, distributors, and many others in the biomass thermal community.
While other countries are ahead of the United States in terms of implementing biomass technology, there is good news for New York. Companies in Schenectady and Troy manufacture highly efficient, low-emission wood boilers, and the state is home to former pulp and paper industry forests that are available for harvesting by wood pellet manufacturers.
"The North Country Regional Economic Development Council ranks bioenergy high on its list of goals," Hopke says. "There's a real economic opportunity for harvesting wood, particularly here in the North Country."
In November, Hopke was a judge for the Alliance for Green Heat's annual Wood Stove Decathlon in Washington, D.C. The winner was a small company from New Hampshire.
"The EPA is coming up with new regulations and this company shows that even a small outfit can create a stove that's both affordable and efficient for homeowners," he says.

Holy cow. One week until the start of Hanukkah and only 12 days 'til Christmas. How did this happen?! I was so on top of things… at one point… kinda recently. But, now, I'm in the midst of the annual mad rush to prepare.
Thank goodness for easy homemade gifts like my new favorite treat, Ginger Hot Chocolate Mix.
This takes no time to whip up. You can easily make a small batch or a large one. You can package it with other gifts—a pretty mug, homemade marshmallows or a package of Cookies for Kids Cancer—or just give it in a pretty jar like one of these inexpensive options. Use a pretty colored pen to write out directions on a post card and attach with ribbon:
Ginger Hot Chocolate
Mix 1/4 cup of hot chocolate mix with a mug full (about 1 1/4 cup) hot milk. Sip.
For an extra special treat, add a pinch of orange zest!
Make sure to use high quality chocolate—I like Scharffen Berger—and you can adjust the ginger to taste. I like just enough so that you can tell there's ginger in there, but not enough to make it the dominant flavor.
Quick and easy for you. Decadent and delicious for your loved ones. It doesn't get any better!
Ginger Hot Chocolate Mix
(can be shared with kids 12+ mos)*
makes 3 cups hot chocolate mix, enough for 12 servings
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1. Sift all the ingredients together or whisk together in a bowl until well combined and there are no lumps left. Store in an airtight container. To make hot chocolate, combine 1/4 cup of mix with 1 mug full, about 1 1/4 cups, hot milk.
*Note: While there is nothing in this that cannot be shared with young eaters—and drinkers!—I recommend this for children 12+ months due to the high sugar content. Remember, a little of this goes a long way! Keep in mind that children under 12 months don't require any drinks in addition to their solids, formula and/or breast milk other than water.
You are a lifesaver. I totally needed a creative but simple gift for my colleagues; this is just the ticket. Great idea!
