text: The 3D renders above, which were posted by Flickr user Martin uit Utrecht, are modeled in Rhinoceros 3D. They were deemed good enough that numerous websites published them, assuming they were real shots of the next-generation iPhone. As noted by the poster, the renderings are based on leaked photos and video of what most believe to be the next-generation iPhone's metal back. The models also have other elements present in the leaked casings, including: a smaller dock connector, redesigned speaker grills, and a repositioned headphone jack.

Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . . . 15 NEXT
I personally didn't like this voice, it would be good, for a British Robot.
Yay, Johnny Cash reference.
Enjoyed this review, particularly the Jurassic Park minstrels.
I kinda like when Yahtzee gives a positive review. It's amazing just how much better AC2 is than the first game.
Whats up with his voice??
WTF happend to Yahzee??? This is not him! New guy can f***k off!!!
Me too, I had a hard time believing it was him. I like this voice more since it is a tad bit easier to understand. Id still like captions since there's still stuff that I don't hear clear enough / know wtf they are since they are British/Australian references.
not as funny as last week, nor as fast (i rather liked him speaking quickly). but he seems to be giving a fairly descent review of the game like he did last week. if he can keep that up i wont even care if hes not as funny anymore. good reviewers are few and far between.
not a new mic, but a cold. Go watch the Heavenly Sword review.
What the hell happenned to his voice?!
If it isn't broke don't fix it! We all know how we're used to Yahtzee's voice being. This change has thrown many of us off. It kind of took away from the 'edge' (or however you want to put it) and the sarcasm didn't come across as strong. I actually thought it was Graham speaking at first. I understand if he had a cold, different thing entirely, but please do not change things that the majority of us can probably agree do not need changed.
Good voice there, YZ - sounds a bit like it used to in the YouTube days...
yahtzee do you have a cold? or is that jon blithe doing a yahtzee impression?
Great review, only thing I wish you would mention is the fact that you can't kill all the civilians, as you get the message "Enzio didn't kill civilians." I remember walking around in ass creek 1, shoving my blade into any poor man or woman passing by. Good times.
Noticed the new voice/mic as well, sounds good. Not worse, not better, just good.
The ZP Etsio ( I forgot how its spelt) looks even more retarded than ZP Altier
The comment about the gnocchi at the end reminded me of... Rome.
A brave effort, friend - but the mods show no mercy.
I guess this is his European voice? Nice attempt.
I think I called this one last week.
His voice was definitely different, and it did put me off a little...good review, all the same.
Yahtzee must have a cold today. But yeah, I'll probably get the game if it's better than the first one.
I know your pain brother, I know your pain...
I thought the same thing too but after half of review it struck me that it MAY actually be Yahtzee - I felt something too familiar in his voice that no one has; I can't put my finger on it but it's unique. The thing is that Yahtzee is still somewhere in the review but he's slowly being turned into a crystal-clear speaking cyborg. We must save him by giving all our money to The Escapist to organise a rescue team! It's his only hope!
I think I have their account numbers here *searches for own account number* ... this may take a while... Please stay calm, have patience and bring all your money, and milk and cookies(he'll need those to recover from the brain washing I assure you)
Darn it you're right... but I still say we should gather up all the money ... you know just in case SOMETHING does happen...*dun dun dun...*
But still he need milk and cookies for his cold soooooo..... you should give them to ME so I can test them for led poisoning(you know how his nemeses try to kill him).
So what...is the game worth buying or not? It was a decent review, but I still don't know if I should pick up the game or not. Yeesh.
I am sure I would have enjoyed the video, but I can't shake the feeling that he was abducted by aliens and replaced by a cheap stand in like in old movies.
Get well soon, Yahtzee! Your voice is much more cutting when it's not pitched so low. You sound like a different person altogether... a much nicer, much less cynical person.
Get well soon for the love of God~
What was wrong with the gun? I think that fact that Leonardo Da Vinci was handing you gadgets seemed to explain it away rather well. He's the Q to your Bond as it were. Besides, it's hardly like you're handed the Plasma Rifle from Doom now is it?
Fist fight with a fat guy would sound cooler if you stated the social status of the guy your fighting
Here's hoping your cold blows over quick.
Good review; I've wanted this game for a while now and this just reinforced that fact.
I loved it but what the hell was with the voice?
I just can't believe he didn't pounce on the bit where it forces you to get every codex page. I liked the game till that part then after I gathered one or two I thought 'No, fuck this, I've better things to do than arbitrarily extend your game Ubisoft.'
i like the screechy winny english-y yahtzee better.
Oi... Yes, this is Yahtzee's sickly voice. Such as is what happens when you have to put out a video every week without fail. As someone pointed out, you can compare it to his Heavenly Sword video, where he writes at the end that it was co-authored by a bottle of cough syrup. It's not a permanent format change unless he's got the plague, and it's not new audio equipment unless said equipment is shoved squarely up his nose. We'll have nasally Yahtzee back when the power of his hat purges the germs from its symbiotic host.
Anyham, in an effort to sound constructive: Good review, as per usual.
Is it just me or does he sound some what sick? seems a bit dull this episode.
Clever girl...I would like to see those minstrels try to get me, as they get shot with my boom stick. Nice review, get better Yahtzee!
Sounded like we had a substitute Yahtzee for this review, but probably was (as many have surmised) a cold.
So, Assassin's Creed 2 sounds like it'd been improved from Assassin's Creed all around, but they went over the dividing line of "taking good advice" and severely into "listening to tossers" territory when the made the game waaay to easy. On top of this, the plot was apparently completely disconnected from the first game. Gotcha.
Thanks Yahtzee for reminding me why am I proud to be Croatian: Serious Sam! Best shooter around!

ORIENTAL GREENS AND CABBAGES Mustards, as a rule, are the greens most tolerant of heat, can take some frosts, and stay usable longest in the garden; pak choy, tatsoi, and cabbages are apt to bolt in frosty weather or summer heat. All are best in cool spring or fall conditions. Most should be sown where plants are to grow. Sow no deeper than one-quarter inch in moist, rich, well-draining soil. Most types mature in about 45 days; heading varieties require 60-75 days.

Domotics (home automation) control systems are among the most innovative and rewarding design projects creative electrical engineers can undertake. Let's take a look at an innovative Beagle Board-based control system that enables a user to control lights with a 10.1˝ capacitive touchscreen.
The design features the following modules:
• An I/O board for testing purposes
• An LED strip board for controlling an RGB LED strip
• A relay board for switching 230-VAC devices
• An energy meter for measuring on/off (and also for logging)
ELektor editor and engineer Clemens Valens recently interviewed Koen van Dongen about the design. Van Dongen describes the system's electronics and then demonstrates how to use the touchscreen to control a light and LED strip.
As Valens explains suggests, it would be a worthwhile endeavor to incorporate a Wi-Fi connection to enable cellphone and tablet control. If you build such system, be sure to share it with our staff. Good luck!

Starts in just over a week so probably a good time to get the topic up. Similar to last year with a lot of midweek matches in a relatively short season (finals are played at the end of October). Regarding the tipping competition, I'll combine it with the one I'm running on Cricsim to boost the numbers of tippers.
One point per correct tip. The highest scoring tipper(s) per round get an extra .1 to try and break ties at the end of the season. Two points for semi-final tips and three for finals.
Round one fixtures:
23/8 Hawkes Bay vs Auckland
24/8 Manawatu vs Wellington
24/8 Tasman vs Canterbury
25/8 BOP vs Taranaki
25/8 Otago vs Northland
26/8 North Harbour vs Waikato
26/8 Counties Manukau vs Southland

Maxloader Overload Springs for Chevy 2500 and Chevy 3500 Trucks.
Unlike other systems that mount above the leaf spring and always work against the factory springs, the Maxloader Helper Springs only provide additional support when the factory springs are loaded. This allows for a plush, factory ride during daily commutes, while providing increased support and stability when hauling and/or towing heavy loads.
The below the spring mount is designed to only engage when needed and eliminates any pre-tensioning allowing for a factory ride empty or full.
The Maxloader Helper Springs are as long as your factory leaf springs, providing support to the factory leafs at three key points; both spring ends and in the center mounting location. This ensures an evenly distributed load and prevents fatiguing stress that other systems exhibit and eventually cause broken leaf springs. This unique design is also very effective at eliminating swaying and rolling characteristics, especially in corners. Installation is easy and and can be quickly accomplished with only a few bolts; no clamps, drilling, or air system components.
The end result of a Maxloader Overload Spring Support System is a vehicle that rides smoother and more level, with evenly distributed weight resulting in less strain to the drivetrain and suspension components.
All Maxloader Systems are backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Why Maxloader Overload Helper Springs?
*Never exceed the manufacturers maximum GVW rating.

Why the Maxloader Overload Helper Spring System instead of all others?
First a little about leaf springs, having built and designed leaf springs for over 30 years affords us the knowledge and understanding of how a leaf spring works and what you can and can't do with a leaf spring and what you should and should not do with a leaf spring. 10 to 15% of a leaf spring's capacity is friction hence a multi leaf spring, means more leaves, more friction and more capacity.
Leaf spring material is also a concave material, its higher on the edges than in the center, this is done so as the material is heated, arched, quenched and reheated it will hold its arch. This makes the top side of a leaf structural and the main leaf or top leaf of a spring should not be compromised outside the axle seat and u bolt plate. The standard leaf spring in today's vehicles is semi elliptical and is designed to work or deflect moving downward as they are loaded or stressed. We have given this brief summary of a leaf spring to help you better understand how the Maxloader system works and why it is the best on the market.
Maxloader Overload Helper Springs are made so you do not need to do anything to make them work other than load your vehicle. They don't change the factory ride and they don't pre-load the suspension like other products. The Maxloader System is a no service, no worry system. It has no adjusting bolts, no air lines, no compressors, no rollers, no taking apart the factory spring. No changing the factory ride. The factory springs are allowed to work the way they were made to and then the Maxloaders go to work when they are needed. Because of their design Maxloader Overload Helper Springs are very progressive. There is no need for them to be adjusted, they adjust themselves, as the factory spring deflects it contacts the Maxloader out near the eyes of the factory spring as more weight is applied the Maxloader then uses the bottom side of the bottom leaf of the factory leaf spring thus allowing the Maxloader to support the factory spring for its entire length. This gives the system a better supporting platform and not only allows it to help support weight but also cut down on sway and axle wrap.
At the ends of the Maxloaders is a special designed polyurethane graphite impregnated pad that not only cuts down on any contact noise but also helps to dampen road shock as it travels through the leaf spring system. The unique design allows for easy installation by most back yard mechanics. There is no need for drilling, clamping, wiring or changing of any settings.
The Maxloader Overload Helper Spring System is designed with a hole in the top leaf to accept the factory center bolt head and a center bolt head in the bottom leaf to fit into the axle seat, this insures perfect alignment of the axle once the Maxloader System is installed. Every kit comes with a new set of u-bolts so if the suspension is not stock a current inside length of the existing u-bolts are needed. U-bolts should never be reused as the threads are pulled when torqued and they don't stay tight after that. Once the customer re-torques the u-bolts after 500 miles there is nothing more they need to do just use their vehicle with confidence knowing the Maxloader System will go to work for them when they need it.

...and now what is the best ACAAN ?
Posted: July 4th, 2011, 2:39 pm
...and now that the Berglas effect is out, what is the best ACAAN on the Market? Please, write also your reason.

Reason: I invented it.

Alen wrote:mrgoat wrote:Hey Alen, so what's your connection to Tommaso?
No connection with no one. If you have it, you will see that what I wrote is true.
mrgoat wrote:
Well color me sceptical, but you join the forum, post about ACAAN in what reads like an Italian trying to speak English, then after a couple of posts you make glowing recommendations for a product that has testimonials from Harris and Magic Cafe idiots. And the product appears to me made by an Italian.
I could of course, be horribly wrong, but it just seems a little too coincidental.
Alen wrote:I see you have many problems with many people, Harris

Alen wrote:Aside all you problems, who are you to decide what are right or wrong to post on this place? You don't decide for me and for everyone on this forum.
I am mrgoat. Have you not heard of me?

Alen wrote:If I cannot express my opinion on this effect can you suggest me what this the correct one?
Alen wrote:Again ask the moderator to remove it or I talk about what I want.
Alen wrote:Hi Mr. Kaufman,
I consider this effect 100 better than The Berglas Effects.
The Berglas is an hands off acaan if it appears in your
performance. In the other case there is a lot of handling
and although the spectators won't remember it. Subtle Scam
is ALWAYS hands off before, during and after the performance.
David method requires misdirection and in some case a good handling, in Subtle Scam nothing.
For this reason Subtle Scam is 100 times better.
If Subtle Scam is crap I don't want to imagine what the Berglas Effects is.
Alen wrote:I have also the latest Berglas book, I know what the Berglas effect is.
mrgoat wrote:Alen wrote:I have also the latest Berglas book, I know what the Berglas effect is.
Please copy what the 14th line on page 189 is in the book to prove you have it.
El Mystico wrote:Just because Alen is new here, and his first posts are rave reviews for a product, maybe we are being unfair; I think we should treat him with a bit more respect.
I'm sorry, for my colleagues, Alen. Do let us know a bit more about yourself, as you join our network. You may be new here (and welcome!) but maybe you've posted on other magic forums? Do let us know which ones, and what your name is there. Or maybe you are completely new to magic? Either way, let us know a bit more about yourself. It would certainly help me judge whether your criteria for a strong ACAAN are the same as mine.
with a warm welcome
El Mystico wrote:That's useful for us to know.
Since Richard's book is new (people have only been getting it the last couple of weeks), and you say your interest in ACAAN stems from then, you are telling us you are new to this effect.
I'm glad you're enjoying Subtle Scam, but, if you'll accept the advice of someone who has been on this forum for a while, I think you're a bit too new to this effect to be describing Subtle Scam as "the best product on ACAAN subject ever".
Alen wrote:
thank you for your post. No, this is my first forum where I start writing something. I start on this forum because I purchase a while ago the new book by Richard Kaufman.
After this book, I purchased other ACAAN effect until two days ago I have found this pdf. I was impressed: You need to pay 400$ to have the same info that I have found in a 12$ ebook.
As I posted that I was impressed for this pdf I was attacked.
Thank you Dominic, but this is not right way to accept a new member here.
Bob Farmer wrote:I looked at the description of "Subtle Scam." It is two effects, ACANN and think of a card (TOAC). The first spectator calls out a card and number and the second spectator looks at the deck and thinks of a card.
I have no idea how the trick works, but one way of accomplishing the effects would be to secretly position the card and number (first spectator) during the TOAC phase (second spectator).
After the revelation of the card and number, the thought card could be determined with, say, the Vernon "Out of Sight, Out of mind" approach (assuming the selection also used that approach).
So it's not really the pure ACANN effect--which to me means, at minimum, that once the card and number are named, there should be minimal or no handling of the deck.
It sounds like a good magazine trick, not a pricey manuscript trick.
Brad Henderson wrote:Alen,
There is a reason we have all heard of the Berglas effect and no one knows of the subtle scam effect; and it has nothing to do with a clever method for being able to position a named card at a named number. May I suggest that you may have confused methods for secrets in your reading of the Berglas text?

Alabama Family History Research
This entry was originally written by Robert S. Davis and Mary Bess Paluzzi for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Alabama shares the rich cultural history of the Southeastern region. From 1519, when the first Spanish explorer, Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, navigated Mobile Bay, the state was claimed, explored, and then settled by the Spanish, French, and British.
The first permanent European settlers in Alabama were French. The LeMoyne brothers, Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d'Iberville, and Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Sieur de Bienville, sailed into Mobile Bay in 1699. By 1702, Fort Louis (on the present site of Mobile) had been settled as the capital of the French colony known as Louisiana.
With the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the French ceded most of Louisiana to Great Britain. When Spain declared war on Great Britain in 1779, the American Revolution came to Alabama. In 1780, Bernardo Galvez captured Mobile from the British. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 ceded to Spain the British holdings in the Mobile region.
In 1795, the Treaty of San Lorenzo more specifically stated that all Alabama lands below the 31st parallel belonged to Spain, and lands above the 31st parallel belonged to the United States and in turn to the Native Americans living there. At the same time the Ellicott Line was being surveyed, 'squatters' (those having no legal claim to the lands they settled) began to move into Alabama, forcing the various tribes off their lands. The area below the 31st parallel was added to Mississippi Territory in 1812. Later counties were created as more white settlers moved into ceded native lands until Alabama Territory was created on 3 March 1817. Alabama became a state on 14 December 1819 and, in 1835, the last native lands were ceded. Massive waves of settlement from both Europeans and African Americans came with the opening of this territory as federal lands.
During the early years of statehood the most significant genealogical event was the opening of lands formerly held by Native Americans to white settlers between 1802 and 1838. These developments are detailed in Mary Elizabeth Young, Redskins, Ruffleshirts and Rednecks: Indian Allotments in Alabama and Mississippi, 1830'1860 (Norman, Okla.: University of Oklahoma Press, 1961). By 1840, all but a few scattered remnants of tribes had been moved west beyond the Mississippi River.
Alabama suffered economic and agricultural problems in the 1840s and 1850s. The financial panic and depression that swept across the United States in 1837 resulted in banking problems that caused many Alabamians to lose their savings. Crops were ruined by drought, and several epidemics of yellow fever brought added suffering.
Economic rivalry between the industrial North and the agricultural South raised conflicts concerning states' rights and slavery. The unresolved conflict deepened until, on 11 January 1861, Alabama seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of America.
When compared with other Confederate states, Alabama, with the exception of the Mobile area, experienced relatively little military action. However, the conflict devastated the economic, political, and social life of the state. The state was readmitted to the Union on 25 June 1868, though the Reconstruction period led to deepening poverty and mass migration. In the 1860s and 1870s, 10 to 15 percent of the entire white population of Alabama migrated, with a third of these migrants going to Texas.
Railroads were built across the state in the 1870s, expanding the industry of mining of Alabama's rich mineral deposits of coal, iron ore, and limestone. By 1880, steel, iron, lumber, and textile industries were rapidly expanding, creating the cities of Anniston, Birmingham, and Cullman.
Alabama's industry and commerce grew with the United States' entry into World War I. Agricultural production increased, and a significant growth in Mobile's shipbuilding industry led to increased foreign trade. During the Great Depression, Alabamians suffered new financial hardships. The Tennessee Valley Authority, established in 1933 by the federal government, developed dams and power plants on the Tennessee River for inexpensive electricity, boosting Alabama's industrial growth.
World War II led to expansion of the state's agricultural and industrial production, and the installation of several military training sites, including Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville'which launched the United States into the space age. During the 1950s and 1960s, agriculture and industry became more diversified, requiring fewer agricultural workers who were forced to seek employment in urban areas outside the state. Alabama faced serious racial questions during the time period. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted from 1955 to 1956, the Birmingham demonstrations in 1963, and the Selma March in 1965 attracted much media attention. With the passage of the U.S. Voting Rights Act in August 1965, African Americans played an increasing role in local and state politics and commerce.

Zack Snyder Calls Superman 'Broken' and Disses Thor
It seems Superman is a difficult character for creators to grasp, both in the world of comics and film. Hence the reason Bryan Singer made Superman Returns – it was so much easier to basically remake Richard Donner's Superman (this time with Baby Superman!) than to branch out into uncharted cinematic territory.
Over the weekend, director Zack Snyder talked to our very own Roth Cornet about his approach to Superman: Man of Steel, a film he's calling "the most realistic" he's ever made – which isn't saying much when you look at his filmography. Yesterday, Snyder talked to Hollywood Outbreak and referred to Superman as a broken concept, while managing to diss Marvel's Thor in the process.
It should be noted that when Zack Snyder said, "Superman is broken and I think it needs to be fixed," his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, interjected with, "From a movie standpoint." At which point Snyder repeated, "From a movie standpoint." So Snyder isn't calling the Superman of the comic books broken, even though many a comic book fan would have no problem saying just that.
Snyder continued to discuss Superman's movie problem, going so far as to mock Thor by comparison:
"[Superman] is the freaking […] biggest superhero on the planet. He's the father of every superhero. [Deborah and I] were just talking about this – I'm like, really? Thor? Thor has a movie? [Laughter.] Really? I mean, come on. And there's no Superman movie? This is, like, the world's out of balance. It's like, we've lost our minds here, people, come on."
Listen, there's no doubt that, cinematically-speaking, Superman has a massive problem. The fact that there hasn't been a truly successful Superman film since 1980 is both astounding and sad. That said, there's no reason in the world to denigrate the Marvel version of Thor, who was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and perhaps the greatest comics creator of all time, Jack Kirby. Hell, at least Superman has had quality representation in film – twice over. The last time Thor was seen in a movie theater was The Adventures of Babysitting.
Zack Snyder also discussed the meeting he had with producers Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas before he took the directing job:
"When [Christopher and Emma] asked Deborah and I out to lunch [to tell us] what they wanted to do with [Man of Steel] – I've got to say, [beforehand] I was like, 'I don't know if I can [do Superman]. [Afterward], I was like, 'This is right.' […] I didn't need to hear that much before I went, 'Okay, that's right, that's the right way to do it.' […] I'm a fan of the character. I want him to be awesome."
Check out the full audio recording at Hollywood Outbreak.
While I agree with Zack Snyder that every Superman film since 1980 has been insignificant or just plain bad, I'm not sure the way toward creating the best possible Superman film is realism. After all, the best iteration of Superman in the past twenty years was Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman, which was all kinds of strange, ridiculous, and about as far away from realism as a story can get. In the end, realistic or not, Man of Steel's quality will be determined not by its style, but by – well, everything else.
Superman: Man of Steel hits theaters December 2012.

Information on groups, servers and shards are stored in a MySQL Instance called state store or backing store. This instance is a repository for all this information and the engine used might be any supported by MySQL, although a transactional engine must be picked to truly provide fault-tolerance. Note though that we have been testing MySQL Fabric with Innodb and currently this the only official engine supported.
Built upon the repository there are several functions that, besides being used to retrieve information from and update the repository, are responsible for the execution of some administrative tasks. For example, adding a server into a group has two steps: creating an entry into the state store and making the server point to the current primary, if there is any.
Promoting a new primary requires to:
- choose among a set of candidates which one will become the new primary when a candidate is not promptly specified;
- stop accepting writes on the current primary;
- synchronize the primary with the secondaries and reconfigure replication;
- update the repository with the new information.
However, there might be users who want to use their own scripts to execute these administrative tasks and want to update MySQL Fabric to reflect the changes made to the servers. For these users, we have introduce the --update_only option into some commands so that they might continue using their own scripts and take advantage of MySQL Fabric at the same time as well.
Executing commands
MySQL Fabric's command might be invoked as a command-line script as follow:
mysqlfabric group add my_group localhost:13001 --update_only
Or using a MySQL Fabric-aware connector (e.g. Connector Python) through a direct call to a XML-RPC function as follows:
ERROR, SUCCESS = range(1, 3)
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
fabric={"host" : "localhost",
"username": "admin", "password" : "adminpass"
user="webuser", password="webpass"
proxy = conn._fabric.get_instance().proxy
status = proxy.group.add("my_group", "localhost:13001", 5, True)
if status[1][-1]["success"] == ERROR:
raise Error("Something bad happened %s." % (str(status), ))
Note that the "mysqlfabric" script uses XML-RPC to call the appropriate functions and both examples try to add "localhost:13001" server into the "my_group" group. In the latter case, besides setting the group's name, server's address and the update only arguments, we also need to set the timeout argument as the XML-RPC does not support named/keyword arguments. For a complete list of commands available check the documentation or execute the following command:
mysqlfabric help commands
Currently the command-line solution has two issues:
Adding a server into a group
Users must set up replication on a new MySQL Server and inform MySQL Fabric about its existence as follows:
mysqlfabric group add group-name server-id --update_only
To avoid cluttering the post with unnecessary details, we are going to write examples using the command-line script. Note though that there are issues with this solution as aforementioned. The group-name and server-id must be replaced by the group which the server belongs to and its real UUID or address, respectively. The remove command does have the option --update_only as it only removes a reference to the server from the repository and does not try to access the server or reconfigure replication.
Promoting a new primary
If users want to promote a new primary, they must first demote the current one as follows:
mysqlfabric group demote group-name --update_only
After that, they should forbid any attempt to write to the old primary, make sure that the primary and secondaries are synchronized, elect a new primary and then reconfigure replication accordingly. How these is done depends on the particularities of their environments and scripts. Finally to inform the connectors that there is a new primary, they should execute the following:
mysqlfabric group promote group-name --slave_id=server-id --update_only

Josh McEachran still considers his long-term future to lie at Chelsea
Josh McEachran is enjoying a loan spell at Middlesbrough but is still looking to become a first team regular at Chelsea.
Last Updated: 09/11/12 10:26am
The 19-year-old midfielder has seen his route to the first team at Stamford Bridge blocked by international stars, forcing him to look elsewhere for games.
A spell at Swansea City last season did not go entirely to plan, but a stint at Middlesbrough this term sees him riding high in the Championship.
McEachran has given little thought to a permanent switch away from Chelsea, though, with it his intention to prove that he is deserving of the five-year contract he penned in 2011.
"I don't see (Juan) Mata, (Eden) Hazard or Oscar in my position," the England U21 international told the Daily Mail.
"It would be good to play with those players, they are all on fire. I am a deeper midfielder, so that's my favourite position, where (John Obi) Mikel, (Frank) Lampard or Ramires play.
"I've been there since I was seven and came through the youth system, so that is my dream club. That is who I want to play for, but this experience can only help me."
McEachran is confident he made the right choice in linking up with Boro, a club pushing hard for promotion back to the Premier League.
He added: "I could have gone to a few teams but I met Tony (Mowbray), got on with him and his assistant Mark Venus, saw the training ground. I know his style is to get the ball down, pass it through midfield, so it was an easy choice.
"I am playing games, which is what I came to do, and Middlesbrough are doing well. The standard is good, really competitive, anyone can beat anyone.
"My body is getting used to it but I am feeling fitter than ever and training is not as intense because of all the games."

Wales 22-30 Ireland, Six Nations, Millennium Stadium
Ireland hold off Welsh second half comeback
February 2, 2013
Simon Zebo grabbed the first points of the 2013 Six Nations with Ireland's opening try against Wales
© PA Photos
Match Analysis by ESPNscrum
Ireland beat reigning RBS 6 Nations champions Wales in a pulsating six-try encounter as they announced their title credentials at the Millennium Stadium.
First-half tries by wing Simon Zebo, on his first Six Nations appearance, and prop Cian Healy helped put daylight between the teams before imperious centre Brian O'Driscoll touched down shortly after the break.
Wales, 30-3 down and facing humiliation, stirred through touchdowns from wing Alex Cuthbert, full-back Leigh Halfpenny and substitute prop Craig Mitchell during a frantic second period when Ireland saw hooker Rory Best and scrum-half Conor Murray sin-binned.
But they ultimately left themselves with far too much to do as Ireland, despite playing almost the entire second period inside their own half, scored 30 points in Cardiff for the first time since 2001.
They condemned Wales to an eighth successive defeat - and a fifth Millennium Stadium reversal on the bounce - with interim head coach Rob Howley still searching for a first win against another Test-playing country.
Wales must now pick themselves up for a trip to Paris next Saturday, where title favourites France await, but yet again they were punished for failing to leave their starting blocks until it was way too late.
Such sluggishness proved a trait of Wales' four-Test autumn campaign this season, and Ireland needed no second invitation to capitalise, deservedly winning despite conceding 19 unanswered points after the 43rd minute.
It was Wales' first Six Nations loss since March 2011, but Ireland, in contrast, now have critical momentum that could drive them all the way to silverware in a tournament they last won four years ago.
Both teams launched their Six Nations campaigns on the back of considerable injury problems.
Wales were without Rhys Priestland, Richard Hibbard, Alun-Wyn Jones, Luke Charteris, Bradley Davies, Dan Lydiate and Ryan Jones, while Ireland arrived in Cardiff minus key men Paul O'Connell, Tommy Bowe and Stephen Ferris.
But the scene was set under an open roof in glorious winter sunshine for a thrilling tussle, especially with so much at stake.
And it was Ireland that struck the opening blow after 11 minutes courtesy of sublime brilliance from O'Driscoll.
His ability to freeze the opposition defence surfaced in all its glory, with three Welsh defenders transfixed as he teased them before delivering a scoring pass to Zebo.
Zebo took the plaudits through scoring a try on his Six Nations debut, but O'Driscoll once again showcased breathtaking ability at the highest level, with Sexton's conversion making it 7-0.
Wales, despite some resilient defensive work from full-back Leigh Halfpenny, could not get out of their own half, and there was worse to come as Ireland smelt blood.
A Sexton penalty after 20 minutes extended the lead, and even when Wales occasionally moved into Irish territory their efforts were undone by a handling error or by choosing the wrong option.
And Ireland did not require a second invitation to make Wales pay, cutting them open again midway through a hopelessly one-sided affair.

Best charged down Wales fly-half Dan Biggar's kick, and after skipper Jamie Heaslip linked slickly in midfield, Zebo's stunning flick off the back of his shin to hand enabled the move to continue.
It then needed a degree of patience from Ireland, but they handled things superbly in the build-up and Healy burrowed over from close range.
Sexton converted and then added another penalty, giving Ireland a 20-point advantage after 29 minutes and effectively sealing victory with indecent haste.
Halfpenny belatedly opened Wales' account with a penalty, but Sexton cancelled that out before the break as Ireland trooped off 23-3 ahead.
Wales had no option but to throw caution to the wind after the break. Ireland, though, had other ideas, and O'Driscoll crossed from close range for his team's third try.
Sexton added the extras, and there was only a hint of consolation for Wales when Cuthbert scored his sixth Test try eight minutes into the second period, with Halfpenny's conversion making it 30-10.
Wales, for the first time, were in territorial control, and they battered away at Ireland's line through a concerted passage of play that ended with Halfpenny touching down wide out after Best was yellow-carded by referee Romain Poite.
Although the visitors still enjoyed a healthy advantage, Wales were a different team from the opening period as they minimised their mistakes and put Ireland under the cosh.
The game was camped inside Ireland's 22, and when Mitchell muscled his way over during the final knockings their remained hope that Wales could somehow still complete a miracle comeback.
But it was not to be, with Ireland claiming a first win against Wales in the last four attempts and setting themselves up for England's Dublin visit tomorrow week.

As we've known for a while, Chevrolet is going to be bringing a rear-wheel drive sports sedan known as the SS to the US market for 2014.
Today, the first version of that car has been unveiled. Say hello to the 2013 Chevy SS NASCAR Sprint Cup race car.
So what can we tell? Not too much. It looks a lot like a Pontiac G8 with a bowtie on it. NASCAR is giving automakers a bit more freedom too, so this isn't as constrained as the old "car of tomorrow" was. The real 2014 Chevy SS will be unveiled just before the Daytona 500 in February.
Check out the car below and let us know what you think in Kinja.

The Catholic roots of Europe will strangle freedom!
"Jesus cut through all the red tape of entangling human traditions, and kept the Sabbath day as God intended (Mark 7:7). Yet it was prophesied that some would tamper with how and when we're to observe God's Sabbath day, and forcibly attempt to replace it with their own (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 17:5).It appears the bloody issue of Sunday over Sabbath has raised its ugly head again, as Europe's new empire prepares to enforce SUNday! A cleverly coordinated campaign is underway to make Sunday a legal day of rest, under the pretense of promoting better health and family life ("Mum and dad belong to us on Sunday"). "Hundreds of Euro-MPs have signed an appeal to the European Commission to consider "work-free" Sundays" (Brits will be banned from working on Sundays if Brussels gets its way). Precious voices of dissent condemn such interference, as Stephen Booth of Open Europe decries: "There is absolutely no need for the EU to be deciding what days people can work." Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Certainly Emperor Constantine would be impressed with how the Roman wolves cloak themselves in sheep's clothing!
This Sabbath question is destined to become a bloody issue again (Rev. 13:17; 14:13)." - Remember the Sabbath
"On the venerable day of the Sun let the Magistrates and the people residing in the cities rest, and let all workshops be closed." - Edict of Constantine A.D. 321Which day is the Christian Sabbath? The same seventh day Sabbath it has always been and always will be, as honest Roman Catholic and Protestants confess! Yet Protestant prostitutes are shamefully bowing before papal authority and collaborating with Catholic politicians to promote the big lie of Sunday, empowering the Vatican's vice grip on Europe that will again apply undue pressure on all to submit to this folly and other imminent measures or suffer the consequences.
What seductive offers has Rome offered these pawns to consolidate Catholic control of the Continent? Which European royals will join the chorus and fall in line with the danse macabre led by German-Jesuit choreographers? Will any stand strong and resist being swept away by the bewitching sorcerer-pope as he misleads the masses?
"In his first weekly papal audience, on April 27, Ratzinger used the occasion 'to express what may become a central theme of his papacy: the Christian roots of Europe' (International Herald Tribune, April 28, 2005).
The bitter roots of Catholic Europe will strangle freedom! Initially covert Catholic decrees imposing Sunday and such will all seem so harmless, but the thumbscrews will continue as suggestions become demands as history testifies:
Ban On Buying and Selling
Not only did Constantine enforce SUNday observance in the Roman empire, Pope Alexander III decreed at the Council of Tours in A.D. 1163: "Whereas a damnable heresy [Sabbath-keeping] has for some time lifted its head...and spread infection...
The Roman Catholic Storm is about to strike! Can't you hear the rumbling thunder? The final revival of the "Holy Roman Empire" prepares to make its mark on mankind! First folks are encouraged to rest on Sunday, later they're threatened to rest on Sunday and those who expose and resist such deathblows to political and religious freedom will be ostracized and their lives endangered! Think it can't happen again? That Europe is too secular and advanced today? Think again. That's what folks were disarmed to believe about Germany prior to WWII. The plain truth is European secular and religious leaders, for their own reasons, have joined dark forces to forge Germany's Fourth Reich - just like Herbert W. Armstrong warned!

Super Mario 3D Land Cheats For 3DS
Unlimited 1-ups
World 1-2, right after the checkpoint flag, there are three koopa troopas and three coin blocks. Get on the first long coin block which is on the ground, then simply walk down onto the koopa troopa below when it moves right below the coin block. With a bit of timing and adjusting your position, you'll be bouncing off it repeatedly and start getting 1-ups. If you mess up and die, simply restart from the checkpoint.
Contributed by: xybazelu
Maximum number of lives
In this game, you can actually go over the maximum number of 999 lives, and have up to over 1,000 lives. By utilizing the 1-up trick found in 1-2, or any other place with a koopa troopa and a wall nearby, this is made simple. Once you reach 1,000 lives, there will be a unique sound effect and some applause, and your hundredth place for your lives will turn into a crown. Same goes for the tens, and the ones; they all turn into crowns once they exceed the number 9. Once you reach the maximum number of lives(which is 1,110), the same sound effect and applause can be heard once more.

Hatless Super Mario and little Mario with hat
Once you've reached the maximum number of lives(which is 1,110, displayed by a triple-crown), any time you're in Super Mario(or Luigi) form you'll be without your hat, and vice versa when you're little Mario(Luigi). Note: this doesn't apply to any other form than Super, ie. Fire, Tanooki, Boomerang, etc. This includes the opening demo and "demo room"(when you leave the game untouched for a couple of moments at the title screen).

One-Up Conversion At The Goal
When you're holding an item, such as the blocks that let you twirl higher in the air, see if you can make it to the goal post without letting them go. If you complete the stage while still holding onto the item, it'll change into an extra One-Up Mushroom.

Flagpole Easter Eggs
When you get to the end of the level and about to grab the pole, if your time limit ends in a 6 balloons will come out once you grab the pole. If your time limit ends in a 3 fireworks will come out once you grab the pole. If your time limit ends in a 1 confetti will come out once you grab the pole.

Alternate Title Screen
If you save and quit while you were playing in any of the special worlds, the next time you go to the home screen there will be alternate video! (Note: this can be reversed by saving and quitting in any of the first 8 worlds)

Classic 1-2 level skip to world 2.
In world 1-2 there is a classic Mario throwback. After the checkpoint flag you'll see some coin blocks. If you jump on top of these you can then jump further up and away from the screen. You'll land on a small narrow ledge that you couldn't see before. You can now run past this section of the level and when you come to a gap in the higher area jump over it and keep running, you'll come to an area with a single orange pipe. Jumping in this pipe will take you to World 2.

Warp Tunnel to World 5
Near the end of World 4-2 when you're jumping up the large shaft (via the the spotted bouncy platforms), you can use the last bouncy platform and angle it to left to get up into a more narrow shaft. You may need to do some wall jumps but go up and to the right. Keep running all the way to the right and you will find an orange pipe that will take you to World 5!

Beat level 7-1 in 5 seconds.
Get a Tanooki leaf. Play level 7-1. When the level starts, run towards the flag. When you come to the pit with the water, jump and hover over it. If you do this you can hit the flag and beat the level in 5 seconds, or less.

Easy way to beat Bowser in level 1-Castle.
Get the Tanooki leaf. Play stage 1-Castle. After you meet Bowser, run towards him. When you get to the gap between where you are standing and the bridge he is standing on, jump and float over the gap, using the tanooki leaf, to land where the Bowser-Button are. This makes it real easy to beat him, and gets you a much better time-score.

You will notice that while playing, Mario will turn his head up and look into empty space. If you go to where he is looking, you will often find a hidden coin/1up block.

Special World 4-1 No-Enemy Glitch
At the beginning of the stage, there is a platform you are meant to stand on, which will begin moving and enemies will spawn to impede you. If you stand on the edge of this platform right as it begins moving, you shouldn't see any enemies up until the Piranha Plants later in the level.

Save File Stars
These are the requirements for getting the five Stars to appear on your save file, which are needed to unlock the true final level, S8-Crown.

It's been a long-time goal in the fight against cancer: Using the body's own immune system to fight the disease.
Everett's Providence Regional Cancer Partnership is one of 13 sites nationally that is testing whether a vaccine, in combination with another medication, is effective in preventing a recurrence in certain types of breast cancer.
They hope to recruit about 50 women to participate in the study. The patients they seek must have low-to-moderate amounts of the HER2 protein present in their cancer.
Currently women with high amounts of HER2 protein are given a drug called Herceptin to try to prevent recurrence. That's about 25 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer, said Dr. Jason Lukas, an oncologist at the cancer partnership.
The medical study being conducted in Everett and other sites nationally is to see if this drug, in combination with a vaccine, is effective in preventing a recurrence of breast cancer in women who have low-to-moderate presence of the protein in their tumors.
The vaccine is made in part from the HER2 protein and a drug that stimulates the production of white blood cells.
If the study results show that the combination treatment is effective in preventing breast cancer recurrence, it would be a major step in battling the disease, Lukas said.
The recurrence rate in women who have low-to-moderate amounts of HER2 protein depends on the size of the tumor when they are diagnosed, from a low of 10 percent to as high as 60 percent, he said.
The tests that will be conducted in Everett are the phase 2 trials, or second step tests of the medications. Initial tests involving small groups of women have shown some positive results, dropping the recurrence rate 15 to 20 percent, Lukas said.
"There's been vaccines tried for other types of solid tumors, but they haven't yet shown as much potential," Lukas said. "This is the one where the data seem to be the most compelling."
The study will document whether women are disease-free 24 months after receiving the treatments.
Some women participating in the study will receive Herception alone. Others will get Herceptin plus the vaccine. Patients will be treated with Herception every three weeks for one year, beginning no later than 12 weeks after completing standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
The vaccine treatments will begin with shots every three weeks for a total of six. After that, booster shots are given 12, 18, 24 and 30 months later.
Everett is the only cancer center in Washington participating in the study. Other sites include the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and the Katzen Cancer Research Center at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Lukas said he and another doctor first began exploring the idea of a vaccine to prevent some types of breast cancer recurrence while he was in the Navy. An Army physician they knew also was working to develop the same idea.
Once all three left the military, they worked to launch a national study of the technique, Lukas said.
Vaccines work with the immune system to fight disease. People get cancer because the body's immune system, for whatever reason, fails to attack it.
The hope is that the vaccine will help Herceptin to work even more effectively, said Marilyn Birchman, clinical research manager at Providence Regional Cancer Partnership.
"It would be nice to have a therapy that's targeting the breast cancer, with so many less dire effects," she said. "It's targeting that cancer cell essentially, and much less toxic than chemotherapy."

How to diagram "that" in a sentence. For example, "I am persuaded that he is able to do it."
Reed-Kellog would say that "that" is a "function word" simply serving the function of introducing a noun clause. MikeNewYork is right. It does not need to be there. It is like "dass" in German. In a R-K diagram it would go on a "stand" made by a dotted line above the simple predicate "is". (I think) Actually this is quite interesting. I think that "he is able to do it" is an objective complement -- something often forgotten. It would be analogous to "angry" in "I am made angry" ( I am caused to be angry.) or "chairman" in "I am elected (to be) chairman. Compare to "The sun made the tomatoes ripe" Not sure about this. It should make for some discussion.
"I think that he is able to do it" would be very easy. The fact that "I am persuaded" is in the passive voice complicates things. In any case, "that" is not a conjunction but rather a function word, like "if" in "I wonder if it will rain." Although in that case the "if" serves more of a purpose.
I am quite sure that according to Reed-Kellogg, the word "that" is never a conjunction. The word "if" certainly can be.
"That" can be a relative pronoun, a demonstrative adjective, a demonstrative pronoun, or a "function" word, but not a conjunction. True, "funtion word" is not one of that practically sacred number of EIGHT parts of speech, but interjections are suspect in that they are not bound by syntax, and expletives are also a little different.
But, if it comforts, one to think of this "that" in a group with "because, when, before, as," etc., then ok.
It is simply not what Reed-Kellogg would say. And the original request was how to diagram it. This "that" has a very special job to to. It introduces noun clauses and does not need to be there.
I suspected as much. In any case, we wait for the diagram.
Actually, I should not leave it at that. Calling "that" a conjunction is a cop out. "That" is different. Sometimes linguists refer to the decay of the cases or gender, or something like that, referring to the way that languages have tended over time to become more simple. I believe that the same may be true for descriptive grammar. "That" is not like "other" conjunctions. Consider "dass" in German. But, if "that" so used must have a quick title, as a dictionary would tend to give, "conjunction" is not bad.
But... the diagram?

I want to draw a coordinate system like this:
I would like to specify the width and height of the coordinate system and where the origin begins (upper left corner). I also want to specify the x and y axes with arrows. Additionally the end of the x and y axis should be indicated with the text "200px".
I'm a LaTeX beginner and am not sure how to do that.
Can anyone recommend a latex package for it?

As Rasheed Sulaimon's game grows, so will his profile as Duke villain
Rasheed Sulaimon is not the sort of athlete whose countenance or physique frightens or intimidates. He is 6-4, 185 pounds, just a typical basketball player's frame. He has soft, pleasant features and an easy smile.
When he pulls his uniform top over his head and down to his shoulders, though, he becomes a target for animosity. And all that experience playing for D-U-K-E is going to help a lot as he spends the next couple weeks wearing U-S-A across his chest in the FIBA U19 World Championship.
MORE TEAM USA PROFILES: Aaron Gordon | Marcus Smart | Elfrid Payton
He has spent just one season with the Blue Devils so far, but that included trips to N.C. State, North Carolina and Maryland, so he pretty much got the full treatment.
When the Terps visited Cameron in late January, Sulaimon smacked them with 6-of-8 long-distance shooting and 25 points in a 20-point Blue Devils blowout. So the Maryland fans were prepared for him when Duke made a return visit two weeks later.
"They think of us as their biggest rivals and everything like that,†Sulaimon told Sporting News. "We had shootaround earlier that morning, and right after shootaround I checked my phone and I had 44 missed calls and 97 text messages. I don't know how they got my number, but they were threatening me: You better not make a shot, I hope you break your leg … That's when I first kind of realized what it meant to play for Duke. Everyone wants to beat you.
"If you're one of the key guys in that program, you're probably hated by a lot of people.â€
It's a phenomenon he compares to the national antipathy for the Dallas Cowboys. (Sulaimon hates 'em, too, being from Houston and a Texans fan). Sulaimon has talked to former Devils such as J.J. Redick, Mike Dunleavy, Kyle Singler, Kyrie Irving. They all got it some, although Irving's freshman-year injury spared him the worst of it.
Although Sulaimon expects there'll be many more Americans adopting him in this tournament, the way LeBron James suddenly shed his villainy in the Olympics last summer, the tournament will be played in Prague, not Pittsburgh. The reality of playing for USA Basketball is to always be the target, particularly when medal play begins.
Coaches and players who've competed for the U.S. tell stories of how opponents throw so much into beating the Americans in a quarterfinal or semifinal game they often haven't much left for subsequent games. Of the past five teams to defeat the U.S. in a world tournament, four lost their next game. The fifth didn't have another game to play, as that result came in the 2007 U19 title game.
The U.S. has won the U19 title only once since 1995, something the players who tried out for the team were reminded as soon as they assembled. "In every other age group, the USA has dominated—except for this one,†Sulaimon said. That just refocused everyone. We know it's not going to be a cakewalk—any game over there.â€
Sulaimon will be essential to the U.S. because the team is not rich in long-range shooting. There is not a single player who made two 3-pointers per game and shot better than 38 percent from downtown. Sulaimon hit 37.1 percent, 49-of-132, his numbers depressed by a 5-for-26 slump in the final nine games. But he was easily the most comfortable and prolific jump shooter at the U19 trials.
It has been a bit of a journey to reach this point. His personal trainer, Chris Gaston of Houston, told Sporting News that Sulaimon can be a bit headstrong as a player. Sulaimon acknowledged the frustrations that developed naturally from the higher challenges of the collegiate level were vexing at first.
"You might not see what the coaches see. Being a young player, I didn't kind of see the end goal from the beginning,†Sulaimon said. "But I think the turning point for me was against North Carolina State, our first loss. Right after we lost Ryan Kelly. It was probably one of my worst games of the year. I went 0-for-10, I finished with four points. I had to sit back and look in the mirror. I realized there's a reason I came here, and that's to trust the coaches. Once I bought in, my season changed. They started getting more confidence in me, started trusting me more, and I just took my game to another level.â€
Sulaimon and Gaston have been working together for years, first meeting in a pickup game that morphed into a competitive one-on-one contest between Gaston, a former collegiate player, and Sulaimon, the young prospect. When they were finished, Gaston told the head varsity coach at Westbury Christian that Sulaimon was going to be a fine player for the varsity that season.
"And he said, 'Oh, no. He's only in sixth grade,' †Gaston recalled.
Gaston has worked with Sulaimon recently to improve his ballhandling in preparation for a possible move to point guard as he progresses toward the NBA. Sulaimon flashed an impressive handle during the U19 trials, changing direction easily and attacking defenders with either hand. As a freshman at Duke, when he controlled a rebound he would look immediately to off-load the ball to point guard Quinn Cook or Tyler Thornton. Coach Mike Krzyzewski even busted him on that a few times. That isn't likely to be a problem this season; Sulaimon expects he'll have some point duties for the Blue Devils.
"Growing up, I was always known as a shooter,†Sulaimon said. "I always felt like I could get to the rack at will as well, but they kind of liked me as a shooter, and I was kind of OK with it because I got the ball whenever I wanted. I definitely think now I am a little bit more confident in it, as well. I want to show what I can do now. I'm not just a shooter.â€

HANOVER, N.H. - The top-ranked team in the nation spoiled the
final regular season home game for five members of the Dartmouth
men's hockey team.
No. 1 Quinnipiac used two goals in each of the final two periods to defeat No. 18 Dartmouth, 4-1, Saturday night at Thompson Arena.
The loss means that the Big Green (13-11-5, 9-9-4 ECAC) finish the season fifth in the league standings and will play host to 12th-place Harvard in a first round series in Hanover next weekend. Game 1 will be Friday night at 7 p.m. between the two Ivy foes.
In Saturday's match-up, the Bobcats (24-5-5, 17-2-3 ECAC) took a two-goal lead on markers from Jeremy Langlois and Jordan Samuels-Thomas at the 3:37 and 10:59 marks, respectively, of the second period.
In the final minute of the middle stanza and the Big Green searching for some life heading into the second intermission, sophomore Rick Pinkston's blast from the point found space between the pads of goaltender Eric Hartzell. With just 29 seconds on the clock, Pinkston's fourth of the season cut the deficit to one, 2-1, as Jesse Beamish and Dustin Walsh were credited with assists on the play.
That would be as close as it came for the Green as Quinnipiac added two more in the third, including a second from Samuels-Thomas, to seal the 4-1 win.
Another solid night in goal for freshman Charles Grant resulted in just his fifth loss of the season (5-5-2), despite 38 saves against the Bobcats. In two games this weekend, Grant turned aside 78-of-the-84 shots he faced.
Hartzell made 21 saves in continuing to build on his Quinnipiac record of single-season wins by a goaltender to 24 (24-4-5).
The Dartmouth power play was held without a goal on three attempts, while the visitors were 1-for-4 on the night with the man-advantage.
Finishing the season with 22 points, Dartmouth is tied with St. Lawrence for fifth in the league standings, but by virtue of a better record against the top-four teams (3-4-1), the Big Green have earned the highest first-round seed next weekend.
In two meetings with Harvard this year, Dartmouth was 1-0-1 with a thrilling 3-2 win against the Crimson at home in Hanover on Jan. 12.
Tickets will go on sale for next weekend's first round series with the Crimson (9-17-3, 6-14-2 ECAC) Tuesday at 10 a.m. Fans can reach the Dartmouth Athletics Ticket Office by calling 603-646-2466 or by visiting DartmouthSports.com.
The five seniors in thier final regular-season home game who were honored after the conclusion of the contest with a ceremony were: Mike Keenan, Dustin Walsh, Mark Goggin, Jason Bourgea and Alex Goodship.

Fishes of the World
John Wiley & Sons, Aug 27, 2007 - Nature - 624 pages
"Of all the literature I use while preparing field guides for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Nelson's Fishes of the World is, by far, the one I refer to most often. [This] book is a standard reference . . . I continue to use it extensively in the ichthyology courses I teach, particularly in laboratory sessions."
-Kent E. Carpenter Old Dominion University
"Fishes of the World is a unique and essential resource for anyone seriously interested in the diversity and evolution of fishes. The family accounts provide quick summaries of current knowledge on all groups of living fishes and many key fossil taxa. It is a required work for every student in my laboratory."
-William E. Bemis Kingsbury Director of Shoals Marine Laboratory, Cornell University
"Only classics are known by the single name of their author, and certainly [Nelson's book] has for four editions been such a book for all those who seek an accessible, up-to-date, readable reference on fish classification. Once again, Nelson presents a balanced view of the sometimes tumultuous, but ever-exciting, study of the phylogenetic relationships and classification of fishes. In doing so, Nelson makes an excellent case for organismal biology, highlighting the many and varied morphological characters we use to diagnose fish taxa and differentiate among the 515 families of living species."
-Lynne R. Parenti Curator of Fishes and Research Scientist, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution
Fishes of the World, Fourth Edition is the updated edition of a true classic in the field. A unique presentation of a modern, cladistically based classification of all the major living and fossil fish groups, this indispensable reference helps scientists and others identify and classify specimens, make familial connections, understand the evolution of fishes, and springboard into further research.
The taxonomy of fishes presented includes the anatomical characteristics, distribution, common and scientific names, and phylogenetic relationships for all 515 families of living fishes. Packed with representative species drawings and information on phylogentic relationships, this informative Fourth Edition features:
* Both fossil and extant species
* More than 500 illustrations
* Fully vetted scientific and common names
* An extensive bibliography
