Are there any particular time we need to be there, and not having a good understanding of the areas in and around Boston, is this track in Boston's Brookline area? How would I goggle this for best direction to get there? Thanks a bunch :)

1. You wonder how many games like this the Capitals can take before things simply fall apart completely. This is a team that hasn't missed the playoffs since the 2006-07 season. But after yet another blown third-period lead in a 3-2 loss to the Devils, it's getting more and more difficult to see it happening in this lockout-shortened season. An astounding six penalties in the third period knocked Washington completely out of rhythm and New Jersey scored twice – once on the power play – to rally for the win.
Multiple players were so angry about the officiating in the third period they refused to answer questions on those calls lest they receive a fine from the NHL office. Forward Troy Brouwer received a 10-minute misconduct penalty after the final whistle for berating officials. But several players also remained defiant about both their play and their position, which right now is dead last among all 30 NHL teams and yet still just six points out of the Southeast Division lead with a game against first-place Carolina at home next Tuesday.
"Yeah, it's not deflating at all," Jay Beagle said. "Really, you look at what we had to do – [Nick Backstrom] blocking shots on the 5-on-3 – it's not deflating. We played a good game. We got handed some tough calls there and we had to make some kills. It made it hard on us. It was a tough third just for that."
2. It is a thing of beauty. Whether it's Ilya Kovalchuk or Alex Ovechkin or whomever…watching an elite NHL sniper put his entire weight into a shot is one of sport's most thrilling moments. Kovalchuk showed that on Thursday when he smoked a one-timer past Caps goalie Braden Holtby for the eventual game-winning goal for New Jersey. He took the feed out near the blueline from teammate Patrik Elias and his follow through was so vicious it corkscrewed him to his knees. When asked if he ever saw the puck Holtby simply mouthed "Nope" and walked away. It was Kovalchuk's sixth goal of the season and came on the power play.
3. Hard to fault Ovechkin in this one. He was a factor all over the ice, knocking Devils around like rag dolls with four hits – though he once was a little too aggressive and drew a bizarre tripping call in the third period that couldn't have been anything other than roughing. Whatever. Ovechkin took four shots on goal, had three more blocked and missed the net four times.
"He missed three breakaways. So he's doing some good things," Caps coach Adam Oates said. "Obviously we want him to score. I know he wants to score. And those are Grade-A opportunities. I was fine with him."
Ovechkin was also on the ice for two New Jersey goals – the second-period shorthanded tally by Elias wasn't his fault. Defenseman John Carlson was swiped clean behind his own net by Adam Henrique. Ovechkin was out on the point trying to block Adam Larsson's shot at 9:19 of the third period. Maybe he wasn't aggressive enough there, but the big rebound caroming off Holtby in goal and no one – John Erskine? – picking up Andrei Loktionov at the right doorstep were far bigger problems. Still, Ovechkin looks more and more comfortable on the right wing. He drew two penalties with power moves to the net and was a bear to handle all night for New Jersey's defenders.
"We need him to do that every single game. We need that," defenseman Karl Alzner said. "Him coming down the wall with speed, shooting the puck from the side – that's his bread and butter. So whenever he's doing that it's great for him, it gets him in the game that much more and it gets us fired up to see that. Because it's usually pretty nice what he does with the puck. So that's the way it's gotta be every night if he can. It's tough though."
4. At some point it's up to the Caps to adjust to the way officials are calling a game. Maybe tonight is a bad example. Both teams felt like the penalties whistled were suspect. Oates wondered about the tripping call assessed to Ovechkin. But excuses won't do this team much good now.
"We're going to address it. It's been too many times," Oates said. "It's frustrating for all of us because we had a good game going, we were playing good hockey and you don't want to lose that way, even though our penalty killing: Karl and John were fantastic back there. And our forwards that killed did a great job. But sooner or later it's tough and those are minutes that we don't have available at the end of the game, energy we don't have available."
Added Alzner: "It's hard. Hard to adjust to it. You never really know what to expect sometimes. So you do your best. That's pretty much it."
A steaming Backstrom noted the Caps talked about being more disciplined between the second and third period and that became so much hot air as they returned to the ice and imploded. He acknowledged Washington received a few tough breaks from the officials. But…
"We've got to be more disciplined," Backstrom said. "It's not good enough."
5. Okay – let's end on a couple of positives. Holtby stopped 34 of 37 shots. I'd expect to see him again on Saturday in the rematch with the Devils. He had little chance on Kovalchuk's goal or the short-handed tally by Elias. That rebound on Larsson's shot probably is the one he wants back. But he kept the Caps in front most of the way and helped them survive a "sluggish" start the first 10 minutes, according to Oates.
And power-play goals by Mathieu Perreault and Mike Ribeiro bring the total the last eight games to 10-for-23. That unit now ranks third in the NHL at 26.8 percent – and that's without defenseman Mike Green (lower-body injury), who has missed the last two games.

Explosions in the Sky is an American post-rock band from Texas. The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, what they refer to as "cathartic mini-symphonies," and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows. They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar. Recently the band has added a fifth member to their live performances. The band's music is almost purely instrumental.

With a top speed of 322.3 km/h (200.3 mph) the BRABUS GLK V12 has set a new speed record for street-legal compact SUVs on the Italian high-speed test track on October 19th, 2009. BRABUS builds this high-performance automobile based on the Mercedes GLK-Class powered by a twelve-cylinder twin turbo engine with 750 hp (740 bhp).
The new BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 engine was implanted in the small engine bay of the GLK with meticulous precision. The engineers and technicians drew upon their experience and know-how gathered from the development and production of the special model BRABUS BULLIT, based on the latest Mercedes C-Class.
The displacement engine, lubricated exclusively with ARAL Synthetic motor oil, delivers 750 hp (740 bhp) / 552 kW at 5,500 rpm and produces a peak torque of 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm, limited in the car electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).
To achieve this kind of performance, the engine – based on the latest Mercedes 600 twelve-cylinder engine – was completely re-engineered in the BRABUS engine department. Displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters with the help of a special crankshaft, larger cylinder bore, special pistons and piston rods. In addition the three-valve heads are precision-machined and fitted with special camshafts.
For maximum power yield the BRABUS engineers have developed a special twin turbo system with two larger turbochargers and more efficient intercoolers. Free-flow metal catalysts and a fully stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system custom-tailored to the GLK body let the BRABUS SV12 R 750 Biturbo engine breathe more freely.
Custom-programmed engine electronics ensure an optimal symbiosis of power yield, running smoothness and especially eco-friendly exhaust emissions. Special mapping and OnBoard Diagnostics II result in clean emissions that meet the strict requirements of the Euro IV standard. The BRABUS GLK V12 is also equipped with the latest driving dynamics systems such as ABS, ASR and ESP.
The enormous power is transferred to the rear wheels via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission and a BRABUS limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent.
Together these measures make the BRABUS GLK V12 the fastest street-legal SUV in the world. But it is not just the incredible top speed of 322.3 km/h (211 mph) that are the basis for its fascination. With an acceleration time from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) of just 4.2 seconds and 12.8 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph) the five-door sets new standards for its kind.
BRABUS manages this extraordinary SUV performance with custom modifications to aerodynamics, suspension and brakes.
In the rear the BRABUS roof spoiler reduces aerodynamic lift and thus makes an important contribution to the excellent directional stability of the world's fastest SUV. The rear appearance of the BRABUS GLK V12 is further characterized by the BRABUS rear apron with its centrally located reflector. Custom-tailored cutouts on the right and left side provide the perfect backdrop for the four characteristically shaped tailpipes of the BRABUS stainless-steel sport exhaust system.
The front apron of the BRABUS WIDESTAR version was developed in the wind tunnel. Its large air dams provide radiators and front brakes with ample cooling air. In combination with a carbon-fiber spoiler lip the front apron also minimizes aerodynamic lift on the front axle – a prerequisite for directional stability beyond 300 km/h (186 mph).
Favorable aerodynamic properties were also a top priority for the design of the BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares on front and rear axle. They add five centimeters (two inches) to the width of the GLK. Custom-tailored rocker panels create a smooth transition between front and rear flares. The rocker panels feature LED lights in their undersides that are activated via the keyless remote or by pulling on a door handle. These lights illuminate the ground next to the SUV for safe entering and exiting the vehicle in the dark.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (BP) -- Christian apologetics is more than being ready to give an answer to anyone who asks a reason for the hope in us (1 Peter 3:15). Sometimes it means asking tough questions of those who deny or sincerely misunderstand the Christian faith.
A case in point is Eben Alexander, a celebrated neurosurgeon who knows a great deal about the human brain; for years he used that knowledge to refute claims by those who said they visited heaven during near-death experiences (NDEs).
He believed NDEs were fantasies the brain produced under extreme duress. But all that changed when Alexander had his own near-death experience, which he outlines in his book, "Proof of Heaven."
In 2008, Alexander contracted bacterial meningitis of the brain and spent a week in a deep coma. What he experienced during that time, he says, was beyond scientific explanation. After his complete and miraculous recovery, Alexander applied his considerable scientific knowledge to his NDE and found proof of the afterlife.
Alexander's conclusions about life after death provide scientific support to the biblical teaching on the everlasting nature of the human soul. But it would be a mistake to conclude that his theological statements are biblically sound.
For example, let's take a look at a recent interview of Alexander published by the online Fox News Magazine in which the doctor is asked: "Have you become more religious after this experience?"
Alexander replies: "I've come to know absolutely the existence of an all-loving and powerful God -- that our souls are eternal. I go to church all the time, but I have also come to realize strongly that there is no one right religion. All aspects of religion have everything to do with the rich, deep, eternal reality. Anything about religion that says they are the only one is just doomed dysfunctional human thinking. It's all about showing compassion and forgiveness in our lives and giving our faith and belief to the source of all creation."
Here's where questions of the good doctor may prove helpful to the Christian apologist.
1. "Dr. Alexander, if there is no one right religion, is there any wrong religion?" Alexander implies in this interview, and states in his book, that any religion making exclusive truth claims (think Christianity) is wrong.
2. "Where do you 'go to church all the time?'" In Proof of Heaven, he admits to being little more than a Christmas-and-Easter Episcopalian prior to his NDE. After the experience, he only mentions his church occasionally. He either doesn't know what it teaches, or the church has distanced itself from its historic biblical foundations.
3. "How you define the 'all-loving and powerful God,' whom you also call 'the source of all creation?'" If he thinks about it, Alexander will be forced to define God in a way that offends true believers of many faiths, something he is trying to avoid. In his book, he never defines "God" scripturally, opting to use the pronoun "Om" for God because that is "the sound I remembered hearing associated with that omniscient, omnipotent, and unconditionally loving God."
4. "If 'all aspects of religion have everything to do with the rich, deep, eternal reality,' then how do you reconcile the Christian reality of one God with the Hindu concept of multiple gods, or the Mormon reality of eternal existence for the wicked with the Jehovah's Witness doctrine of annihilation?"
5. "Since so many religious doctrines are in direct and irreconcilable contradiction, how can they all possibly help us understand true reality?" Alexander would argue that we have to let all contradictions go and simply embrace an ambiguous "God" who repeatedly tells him, "There is nothing you can do wrong."
6. "You had a positive near-death experience. Do you believe it's possible to have a negative NDE? And if so, under what circumstances?" After his NDE, Alexander studied the subject exhaustively and acknowledges negative NDEs but does not attempt to explain them.
7. "Are you contradicting yourself when you say all religions are true but then say religions that make exclusive truth claims are the product of 'doomed dysfunctional human thinking?'"
Test all things
These questions give us an example of how to ask respectfully probing questions of those who hold views in opposition to Christianity -- especially when they may not intend to do so.
What Alexander evidently believes based on his near-death experience and subsequent book is what's known as syncretism, or the melding of many contradictory beliefs into one. The fruit of syncretism is the politically correct view that there are many paths to God -- whoever he/she/it is -- and each of them is equally valid.
This does not discount the doctor's enormous intellect, his contributions to the scientific study of the afterlife, or his boldness in reversing preconceived notions about NDEs. For this "proof of heaven" he is to be applauded.
Alexander's comments, however, remind us that we are to "test all things" and "hold on to what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Our experiences only take us so far, and as fallible human beings we can be deceived. Remember: Even the apostle Paul, a learned Pharisee, was entrusted to godly men after his dramatic experience on the road to Damascus.

The Phils were 39-37 after losing on July 2, which was three weeks ago today. At the end of the day they were tied with the Florida Marlins for first place in the NL East, a game ahead of the Mets and two games ahead of the Braves, who had just swept them in Atlanta.
That feels like it shouldn't be possible. But it is. The Phillies have played 16 games since then. A 14-2 run has them in commanding position in the division with the second place Braves 5 1/2 games out.
Most recently they took two out of three against the Cubs at home. The Phillies rolled to a blowout win in game one, won a dramatic game two with a walkoff homer before dropping an ugly game three yesterday.
The Phillies are have had a fantastic month. Yesterday was a bit worrisome, though, a virtual who's-who of things to worry about on a pitching staff that has been awesome of late. Moyer, Durbin and Lidge all struggled, which was especially frustrating to see with Moyer and Durbin each coming off of outstanding performances.
Still, the Phils have enough things going right to overcome the struggles of Moyer and Lidge and, to a lesser degree, Durbin. Joe Blanton has a 2.32 ERA and a 1.11 ratio in his last ten starts. Rodrigo Lopez has made three good starts in three chances to help fortify the back of the rotation. Rollins and Victorino are both hitting at least .350 for the month at the top of the order. Chan Ho Park has just been awesome out of the pen. In his last 16 appearances he's gone 24 2/3 innings with a 1.82 ERA and an 0.89 ratio while striking out 28. Eyre hasn't been charged with an earned run in his last 22 appearances.
The Phillies are 53-39 on the season after taking two of three from the Cubs. After winning game two they were 15 games over .500 on the year, which was their best mark of the season. The are in first place in the NL East, 5 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Braves. The Marlins are six back and the Mets ten games out.
The Phils blew the Cubs out in game one, winning 10-1. Ibanez, Ruiz and Howard all hit home runs, which accounted for five of the ten runs. Lopez made another good start. He allowed a run over six innings. Durbin followed him and closed the game out with three scoreless innings to earn a save.
The Phillies won the second game 4-1 on a three-run homer from Werth in the bottom of the thirteenth. Rollins put the Phillies up 1-0 with a home run in the third. Blanton gave up a leadoff single to Ryan Theriot to start the fourth and Theriot came around to score on a two-out double by Kosuke Fukudome to tie the game at 1-1. Blanton departed after seven and the bullpen was brilliant after he left. They went six innings without allowing a hit or a walk. Lidge hit a batter in the ninth, but the runner was quickly erased by a double-play. Park was especially fantastic, striking out five in three perfect innings. In the bottom of the thirteenth the first two Phils went in order before Howard and Ibanez drew back-to-back walks. It put men on first and second for Werth and Werth hit a 1-1 pitch out to left.
The Cubs won 10-5 yesterday. Moyer gave up four in the fourth and another run in the top of the fifth. The Phils had gotten it to 5-3 by the time the seventh started, but Durbin had a miserable outing. He allowed two hits and walked three without getting an out, leading to three more runs that put Chicago up 8-3. The Phils scored two more in the bottom of the seventh to make it 8-5. They loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth, but Howard grounded out to leave the runners stranded. Lidge had another weak outing in the ninth and the Cubs tacked on two more runs — Lidge couldn't make it out of the frame and Madson had to come in and get the last out.
The Phillies pitchers went 31 innings in the series, throwing to a 3.19 ERA and a 1.16 ratio. They allowed two runs in 22 innings in the first two games and then allowed ten runs yesterday. They didn't allow a home run in the three games.
They got two great starts, one from Lopez and one from Blanton, and a weak outing from Moyer. The starters combined to go 18 innings with a 3.00 ERA and a 1.33 ratio. They allowed seven runs over three games, five of which were allowed by Moyer.
Lopez went six innings in game one, allowing a run on five hits and three walks. He has a 2.60 ERA and a 1.21 ratio in three starts for the Phillies.
Blanton was also great in game two. He went seven innings and allowed a run on five hits and didn't walk a batter. He started June with a 6.86 ERA. It's now down to 4.24. He's allowed two runs in 21 2/3 innings over his last three starts and given up just 13 hits.
Moyer made a weak start yesterday. He allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks. Only four of the runs were earned. Two of his last three starts have been real bad with a brilliant start against the Marlins in the middle.
Like the starters, the pen was great in the first two games and not in the third. Overall they threw 13 innings with a 3.46 ERA and an 0.92 ratio. They allowed five runs that were charged to Lidge and Durbin in game three. As a group they gave up just six hits in 13 innings but walked six.
Romero did not pitch in the series. He's gotten one out since July 16.
Eyre entered game three with the bases loaded, nobody out and the Phils down 7-3. He got Jake Fox to hit a sac fly for the first out, then got Koylie Hill on a line drive to third and struck out the pitcher Carlos Zambrano to end the frame. He came back to pitch the eighth and allowed a single and a walk but kept the Cubs off the board.
Eyre still has allowed runs in just two of 30 appearances on the season. He's given up one run in 22 appearances since the end of April.
Durbin went three innings in game one and was fantastic. He allowed one single and didn't walk a batter.
After throwing 33 pitches in game one, Durbin came back in game three and was not fantastic. He started the seventh with the Phillies down 5-3. He faced five batters: walk, walk, double, walk, single. He left with the bases loaded, nobody out and the Phils down 7-3. Thanks to a nice job by Eyre Durbin was only charged with three runs in the inning.
Park pitched a 1-2-3 tenth in game two with the score tied at 1-1. Ibanez made a great diving catch for the third out to take a double away from Koylie Hill. He came back to pitch the eleventh and struck out two as he set the Cubs down in order. He struck out two more in the twelfth.
Just an outstanding outing for Park. He went three innings and struck out five without allowing a hit or a walk. Over his last eight appearances he's allowed two runs in 13 1/3 innings (1.35 ERA and a an 0.75 ratio).
Condrey got the win in game two. He threw three ground balls in a 1-2-3 thirteenth before Werth's homer won it in the bottom of the inning.
He also pitched the sixth inning yesterday in game three. He entered with the Phils down 5-1 and set the Cubs down in order.
He's allowed one hit and no walks in three scoreless innings this month.
Madson pitched the eighth inning of game two with the score tied at 1-1 and set Chicago down in order.
He also got the final out in the top of the ninth yesterday. He took over for Lidge with two outs, the bases loaded and the Phils down 10-5 and got Aramis Ramirez on a popup.
He hasn't been charged with a run in nine of his last ten appearances.
Lidge started the ninth inning in game two with the score knotted at 1-1. He hit Aramis Ramirez with one out. Fukudome was next and he hit a ball hard back through the middle, but it hit Lidge's foot and went right to Rollins who was covering second with Ramirez running. Rollins turned the double-play to end the frame.
Lidge started the ninth with the Phillies down 8-5. With one out the Cubs loaded the bases on a hit batter, a walk and a single before a single by Reed Johnson moved everyone up a base and made it 9-5. Lidge got a strikeout for the second out before walking Derrek Lee to force in another run. Madson took over with two down and the bases loaded.
July has been the best month of the year for Lidge by ERA this season. He has a 5.87 ERA in nine July appearances.
The Phillies scored 19 runs in the three-game set.
Rollins was 3-for-13 with a home run in the series. He's hitting 235/290/370 on the year. 351/437/568 in July.
Victorino went 5-for-14 with a double to improve his line to 307/375/455. He's hitting .360 this month.
Utley was 1-for-13 with a walk. 302/417/554.
Howard went 2-for-12 with seven strikeouts, a home run and three walks. 259/347/531.
Ibanez made a great diving catch with two outs in the top of the tenth in game two, taking a double away from Koylie Hill. Dobbs started in left yesterday in game three. Ibanez was 1-for-9 with a home run and two walks in the set. 309/372/662. If he slugs .662 all season long it will be a career high.
Werth won game two with a three-run homer in the bottom of the thirteenth. 4-for-10 with a home run and five walks. 266/378/508. He's hitting just .266 this month, but with a .444 on-base percentage and a .603 slugging percentage.
Feliz was 4-for-12 with a walk and two RBI. 289/337/407.
Ruiz caught the first two games of the series and was 2-for-7 with a double and a home run. 228/330/375 on the year.
Bako started yesterday. He was 1-for-6 in the series and is hitting just 206/270/235 for the year. One extra-base hit, a double, in 34 at-bats.
Bruntlett was 0-for-2 in the series to drop his line on the year to 128/202/192.
Mayberry was 1-for-1 with a single. 192/236/462 on the year. He's one of three players on the Phillies bench with an on-base percentage for the year of .270 or worse. I'm just saying.
Dobbs started in left yesterday in game three. 2-for-7 with two RBI in the series. 274/313/453 on the year. He's hitting .341 in July after hitting .342 in June. One of four players on the Phillies bench with and on-base percentage of .313 or worse.
Stairs was 0-for-2 in the series. 270/425/492. 1-for-9 with five strikeouts and four walks in July.

The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG crew clawed their way up to finish in third place in the DHL In-Port Race in Itajaí, Brazil, on Saturday, April 21. PUMA crossed the line 1 minute, 5 seconds behind the winning Groupama Sailing Team, with CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand in third. PUMA added four points to their overall total.
"In these really short races you can't ever count yourself out," said skipper Ken Read. "It was pretty flukey out there, and after the judges flagged us for a penalty at the start, we certainly had our work cut out for us. Telefónica gave us all a nice little break. All in all, I guess we can't be too upset with a third-place finish, but I do have to figure out how to see more clearly what the judges are seeing. We loved our start, and I wouldn't do it any different. I'm proud of the guys for maintaining plenty of fight."
The start was delayed due to lack of wind, but rain rolled in, the breeze picked up, and racing was underway only 10 minutes behind schedule. PUMA led off the line before getting flagged for a windward-leward penalty. After a quick 360 penalty turn, the crew was back on track and passed Abu Dhabi on the second leg. Mid-race Telefónica turned at the wrong mark, moving the PUMA crew in to the third position. PUMA's Mar Mostro closed the gap on CAPMER to nine seconds at the sixth mark, then the race committee shortened the course and the crew finished 17 seconds back across the line.
PUMA holds on in fourth in the overall standings with 117 points. Telefónica maintains the top slot with 149 points, while Groupama closed the gap, sitting in second at 133. CAMPER is in third at 124.
On Sunday, the fleet begins the 4,800 nautical mile journey back to the USA from Itajaí to Miami, Florida – the lone U.S. stop in this year's race. The trip up the Atlantic is expected to take around 15 days. Race Start is at 14:00 local/17:00 UTC. Racing will be streamed live online at www.volvooceanrace.com and on the live section of the Volvo Ocean Race YouTube channel: youtube.com/volvooceanracevideos. Streaming begins five minutes before the 10-minute warning signal. Also visit www.volvooceanrace.com for complete television broadcast information in local markets.
Shannon Falcone (Falmouth Harbor, Antigua) is on board for this upcoming leg, taking the place of Casey Smith (Brisbane, Australia) who injured his back. Kelvin Harrap (Napier, New Zealand) returns to the crew after missing Leg 5 due to injury.

Asking help for a CD cover design. The CD is for my band, The Muckrakes. The name of the CD is "Grandiphonia".
Music style is a mixture of lo-fi Americana rock meeting a stack of leftovers in old margarine tubs, wobbling on the wire shelves of a ColdPoint fridge, tilting forward on the cigarette-burned kitchen linoleum of a 1978 single-wide, propped up on chocks cut from a telephone pole in the Goldrun Village RV park.
We like to stand tall and enjoy stomping strongly through weedy stagnant undergrowth with deftly articulated songs, lyrical stories wrought from heady memories, and music-craft from the backwaters of The Old Dominion.
Anyway, we can't offer much. But we can offer credit art to the CD on both our website and cover inner sleeve as well as a slew of band merchandise and tickets to every show as well as link and promo from all of our networking sites.
Ya interested?
We can be seen and heard:
And found on facebook
C'mon artist…help a band in need and get noticed. Let's see what ya'll got.
Deadline: Oct 15th, 2010

The 2014 WIAA Girls Soccer State Tournament was night and day for Assumption.
After going three halves plus two overtime periods without a regulation goal, the Royals exploded in the second half of Saturday's championship game, tallying 15 shots and two goals to defeat New Holstein 2-1 and claim their first girls soccer title in school history.
The Royals, who trailed 1-0 at the half, got goals from Jasmine Hunn in the 50th minute and Mary Sigler in the 75th minute, to come from behind and defeat the Huskies.
"It felt awesome," Sigler said. "I know I messed up a lot of shots, but just to get that one and end it, it was awesome."
After equalizing on Hunn's goal less than five minutes into the second half, the Royals had a bevy of chances near the net but couldn't convert.
That was, until Sigler finally stepped up and played hero.
"I was really glad that she finally made one of those one on ones, because she had so many opportunities and it's not like her to miss," Hunn said. "So it was really great that she finally put one in for our lead."
This come-from-behind win is just the latest show of resilience for Assumption, which also trailed 2-1 in its sectional final win and virtually played from behind throughout its entire state semifinal before winning in a shootout.
"This team refuses to lose," Assumption head coach John Bingham said. "At halftime they were calm. (They knew) we've been down before... We've been down before and we just refuse to lose."
The win capped off a 22-3 season for Assumption.
Ticket information is available for state tournaments.

He collapsed after returning home from a bike ride earlier in the day.The Macomb County medical examiner said Wesley's cause of death was inconclusive, and toxicology results will take six weeks to complete.In a letter to the media, Chippewa Valley Schools praised Wesley for his creativity and innovative lessons.Guidance counselors will be available at the school as long as they are needed, and parents are encouraged to look for signs of grief in their children.

Assembly went something like this…
I added adhesive to one straight edge and adhered it to the other straight edge creating a tube.
Then, I pinched one side together {making sure to line up the scallops} and stitched along that edge. A fairly strong adhesive would work as well if you don't feel like sewing. This is also the point where you'll want to fill it with treats. I'm going to be honest and say I was a little distracted by the cute factor and FORGOT that step on my first one. ooops!
Next, I pinched together the other side in the opposite direction and stitched it closed.
Besides Valentine's goodies, I'm dreamin' up other things I could use this for… filled with confetti and a note for a birthday or to throw in as a treat for a school lunch, or a party favor at a bridal or baby shower. Great thing is, once you download the shape, it's yours to use again and again.
Have a heart filled day!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - It was 23 months ago when Wisconsin legalized the carrying of concealed weapons for law-abiding citizens who get state permits.
Tuesday, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced the 200,000th permit, issued Monday in Madison.
The Justice Department was overwhelmed with permit requests in the months after concealed carry took effect. Now, Van Hollen says his office gets 500 to 1,000 permit applications each week -- and most are processed in less than a week.
It took more than a year to adopt permanent rules for the law. Van Hollen said one of those rules dropped the cost of the permit applications from $50 to $40. Also, sales from handgun dealers still appear to be on the rise since concealed carry began.
Registered dealers are required to report gun sales to the state's Handgun Hotline. That hotline has had 107,000 calls this year, which is on pace for 142,000 calls for the year. That would break last year's record of 138,000.

Comments about Regal Tip 5A X Series Hickory Nylon Tip Drumsticks:
I have owned six pairs of these for over the last 19 months, and I am satisfied with these sticks. Regarding the quality that Regal Tip brings, these are the perfect pair for me. I've played with them all, ranging from Zildjian, to Pro-Mark, to Vic Firth, and even started using Vater drumsticks back in 2003. But these drumsticks (my desired pair), are the best out of all of the drumsticks that I have used. I strongly suggest that every drummer that has never picked up a pair of these to try at least one pair.

Playing the Field: 'Mad Men' tackles March Madness
Some genius out there has finally combined two of my great loves: "Mad Men" and the NCAA tournament.
"Mad Men" isn't my favorite show on TV, but it's right up there. (I love you "Breaking Bad," please don't leave me.) And who doesn't love the NCAA basketball tournament? The first four days — this upcoming Thursday through Sunday, if you hadn't heard — are the best days of sport in the entire calendar year. It's a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet of basketball.
The latest viral video to hit the interwebs is the video you see above, which blends "Mad Men" and March Madness in an absolutely terrific "supercut."
OK, go ahead and watch now. (Yeah, you probably already did.)
I don't know what Official Comedy is, but I salute you guys and gals for the effort it took to come up with all of these video clips. The best part is working all of the school names in. And granted the characters were just talking about the city/state, but working in this year's mid-major darlings St. Louis and Mexico was a stroke of genius. Official Comedy has some real sports fans over there.
Also, should Virginia take their inclusion as a good sign? The Cavaliers are 21-11 and firmly on the bubble. They do have quality wins versus Duke and N.C. State and at Maryland and Wisconsin.
I'm going to go with the "March Mad Men" video over bracketologist Joe Lunardi any day of the week.

Generational Accounts and Lifetime
Tax Rates, 1900-1991
by Alan J. Auerbach, Jagadeesh Gokhale, and Laurence J. Kotlikoff
Unlike the federal budget, which typically measures receipts and expenditures for one year at a time, generational accounts and lifetime tax rates focus on long-term intergenerational wealth redistribution. The accounts show that future generations can expect to pay, on average, more than twice as much to the government as current (1991) newborns if living generations continue to be treated as they are under current policy. Lifetime tax rates on successive generations have increased from 22 percent for Americans born in 1900 to about 34 percent for those born in 1991. Under the baseline economic assumptions presented here, future generations are slated to see that figure rise to more than 70 percent on average.

Has the Long-Run Velocity of
M2 Shifted? Evidence from the P* Model
by Jeffrey J. Hallman and Richard G. Anderson
The P-Star (P*) model forecasts inflation by exploiting the stability of M2 velocity and the tendency of the real economy to operate near its potential. While originally offered as a link between inflation and money growth, inverting the model provides a test of one of its primary assumptions: the constancy of M2's long-run velocity, or V-Star (V*). If V* has increased during the last three years, predictions of inflation from the original P* model should be inferior to predictions from a model that incorporates the new, higher V*. In fact, the deceleration of inflation through 1992:IIIQ was quite close to the original model's prediction, and simulations of the model under a variety of hypotheses regarding changes in V* provide relatively little support for a dramatic shift in that measure.

Examining the Microfoundations
of Market Incentives for Asset-Backed Lending
by Charles T. Carlstrom and Katherine A. Samolyk
Many view the proliferation of securitization as a response to competitive or regulatory pressures. But to what extent would assetbacked lending occur in a less regulated environment? This paper addresses the extent to which models of credit intermediation have been able to formalize some of the market-based forces driving this phenomenon. The authors examine four papers that model some of the dimensions of asset-backed markets. An underlying theme is that under certain conditions, the very information costs that make financial markets important as conduits of credit can also create nonregulatory incentives for asset-backed lending as an efficient funding mode.

Using Bracket Creep to Raise
Revenue: A Bad Idea Whose Time Has Passed
by David Altig and Charles T. Carlstrom
Temporarily suspending indexation of the personal income-tax code is often suggested as a means for raising federal revenues. Here, the authors argue that this method of taxation is inefficient in that it is inferior to direct increases in marginal tax rates. They conclude that attempts to use bracket creep in future deficit-reduction efforts should be viewed with appropriate skepticism.

Cyclical Movements of the Labor
Input and Its Implicit Real Wage
by Finn E. Kydland and Edward C. Prescott
The standard measure of the labor input in aggregate production is the sum of employment hours over all individuals. The validity of this measure for cyclical purposes requires that the composition of the work force by skill and ability remain approximately unchanged over the cycle. Here, the authors investigate the accuracy of aggregate hours as a cyclical measure of the labor force and find that it is much more cyclically volatile than the labor input. Using data for almost 5,000 men and women in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, they conclude that the labor input's real wage is strongly procyclical, but that average compensation per hour is not.

Money and Interest Rates under
a Reserves Operating Target
by Robert B. Avery and Myron L. Kwast
This study examines the short-run dynamic relationships between nonborrowed reserves, the federal funds rate, and transaction accounts using daily data from 1979 through 1982. Separate models are estimated for each day of the week, and simulation experiments are performed. The results suggest that the funds rate responded quite rapidly to a change in nonborrowed reserves, but that the short-run nonborrowed reserves multiplier for transaction accounts was only about 18 percent of its theoretical maximum. In addition, the Federal Reserve appeared to accommodate about 65 percent of a permanent shock to money, and lagged reserve requirements seemed to delay depository institutions' response to a money shock.

Capital Requirements and Shifts
in Commercial Bank Portfolios
by Joseph G. Haubrich and Paul Wachtel
Since 1989, U.S. commercial banks have shifted their portfolios away from commercial loans toward government securities. Using data for individual banks, the authors document this shift and test for whether it can be attributed to the imposition of risk-based capital requirements. Their results indicate that these requirements may indeed account for part of the portfolio shift.

FDICIA's Emergency Liquidity
by Walker F. Todd
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) made a potentially significant change in the standards for Federal Reserve discount window access by nonbanks. In exploring the background of this issue, the author contends that although most of the legislation retrenched the federal financial safety net for undercapitalized insured depository institutions, the provision effectively expanded the safety net for uninsured nonbanks, irrespective of their capital or net worth positions.

Efficiency and Technical Progress
in Check Processing
by Paul W. Bauer
Cost functions can provide valuable insights into the efficiency and technological constraints faced by firms. Using panel data for 47 Federal Reserve offices from 1983:IQ to 1990:IVQ, the author examines the cost of providing check-processing services by estimating a multiproduct cost function using an econometric frontier approach. The article demonstrates how the Federal Reserve's unit cost measures of performance can be decomposed into separate effects related to differences in cost efficiency, output mix, input prices, and environmental variables to provide a much richer understanding of the sources of relative office performance. Estimates of technical progress are also presented.

Required Clearing Balances
by E.J. Stevens
More than 20 percent of the funds that banks have on deposit with the Federal Reserve Banks are required clearing balances, not required reserve balances. Since 1981, when they first earned a market return, clearing balances have become widespread among banks of all sizes. Here, the author takes a look at the reasons for the popularity of this relatively new phenomenon as well as its impact on the setting and measuring of monetary policy.

The Consumer Price Index as
a Measure of Inflation
by Michael F. Bryan and Stephen G. Cecchetti
One problem associated with using the Consumer Price Index as a focal point in monetary policy deliberations is the likelihood that it is a biased measure of inflation. The authors use a simple statistical framework in this paper to estimate a price index that is immune to some of these weighting biases. By computing the common inflation element in a broad cross-section of consumer price changes, they find evidence of a positive weighting bias between 1967 and 1981, and an insignificant bias in the years since then.

The Inaccuracy of Newspaper
Reports of U.S. Foreign Exchange Intervention
by William P. Osterberg and Rebecca Wetmore Humes
This paper presents a comparison of official data on U.S. foreign exchange intervention with newspaper reports. The authors find that the series are systematically different, which calls into question the ability of intervention to signal monetary policy accurately. Alternatively, this divergence may reflect the fact that not all market participants have equally accurate information about exchange market intervention.

DENISON, TX -- After standing for 75 years, the football stadium in Denison is no more.
It took about two weeks to take down Munson Stadium, which was originally built as a WPA project from 1938 to 1940, according to a sign that was on the stadium.
Denison High School wrapped up the football season earlier this month, and workers were still busy on Wednesday evening carting away the pieces.
The demolition is part of a $6 million project to construct a new stadium, which is set to open next summer.
