Glens Falls, NY-Phantoms goaltender Michael Leighton
made 25 saves in a solid performance and the Bears
withstood a late Adirondack flurry to defeat the
Phantoms 3-0 at the Glens Falls Civic Center on
Friday night. It was Leighton's second start
since returning to the Phantoms on January 4.
The result snapped Adirondack's point streak
at six games. Hershey avenged their most recent
result in Glens Falls with the win. On their last
trip to the North Country they lost a 3-1 decision
to Adirondack on December 17.
Adirondack outshot Hershey 15-8 in the final
frame but Adirondack was unable to get it by Bears
goaltender Danny Sabourin who made 25 saves to
earn his tenth win of the season and his second
shutout of the year. The Phantoms had their opportunities
including three power plays in the period but
could not get it past the Bears netminder.
The Bears opened the scoring with 35 seconds
remaining in the first period. On the Bears'
third power play of the period, Zach Miskovic
f rom the center point beat Phantoms goaltender
Michael Leighton to give Hershey a 1-0 lead. It
was Miskovic's sixth goal of the year assisted
by Dmitri Kugryshev and ex-Phantom captain Boyd
Kane. Michael Leighton was stellar in the opening
period though making six of his seven saves on
the power play.
The Bears extended their lead 4:22 into the second
period. Steve Pinizzotto sent a cross-ice pass
to Brian Willsie who put one into an open net
as Leighton was caught to the far side of the
goal. It was Willsie's thirteenth goal of
the season to give Hershey the 2-0 lead.
Adirondack had their best chances throughout
a frenzied attack in the third period which included
a late 6-on-4 power play with Leighton pulled
for an extra attacker.
Steve Pinizzotto sealed the game for the Bears
as he scored his ninth goal of the season into
an empty net with 15 seconds remaining.
Jon Kalinski created some good opportunities
and also blocked several shots and passes on the
penalty kill for one of the stronger Adirondack
performances on the evening.
Adirondack travels to Hershey next Sunday afternoon
for the final time this season while Hershey does
not return to the Glens Falls Civic Center until
March 12.
Adirondack finished 0-for 6 on the power play
while Hershey went 1-for-4. The Bears outshot
the Phantoms 28-25.
Notes: Marc-Andre Bourdon, Joonas Lehtivuori,
Andrew Rowe and Stefan Legein were scratches for
the Phantoms. Denis Hamel returned to the lineup
after missing the previous three games. J.P. Testwuide
played wing for the second game in a row. Michael
Ryan's five-game goal scoring streak was
snapped. Zac Rinaldo accumulated nine penalty
minutes in the game and now has 155 total minutes
on the season to rate third in the AHL and first
among rookies. His 19 majors is tied for the most
in the AHL with Connecticut's Devin Didomete.

Razer to reveal "Project Fiona" at CES 2012 next week
It's not simple, delightful, or even magical, but it is called Fiona, and Razer say that it will bring an "all new form factor" to PC gaming. The mystery product will be revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012, which starts next Tuesday.
There's speculation that Project Fiona could be Razer Switchblade thingy, which was shown as a concept design at CES 2011. The keys on the Switchblade are supposed to act as windows to a second screen beneath, allowing the layout to change depending on the game you're playing. It also has a touch screen interface, and is teeny. Let this very serious man tell you all about it.

New drama club creates a close-knit group at Kingsland
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Tuesday, February 18, 2014 2:39 AM
The Kingsland High School Drama Club. In front, from left, are Shelby Larson, Josie Bellrichard, Morgan Sanford and Kiara Reichstadt. In back, are Jordan Pokorney, Logan Copeman, Josie Hinze, Paige Webb, Lariah Fox and Colt Hamersma. GRETCHEN MENSINK LOVEJOY/SPRING VALLEY TRIBUNE
With 20 members, the Kingsland Drama Club, which was formed in September, has not only bolstered theater in the school, it has also created a close-knit community of students.
The first play since the club was conceived was "The Velveteen Rabbit," performed in January and twice in one-act play contests. Next on the schedule is "Bye, Bye, Birdie" for the spring musical, said Kingsland Drama Club Vice President Jordan Pokorney, sharing what the newly-formed club has done and will do during its first official venture into being incorporated by students who share a common destination - the stage.
The approximately 20 students who have joined the club since it was formed at the beginning of the school year are in grades eight through 12, though it is open to seventh graders as well.
Tim Chappell is director and advisor, club officers include Pokorney, President Shelby Larson, Secretary Josie Bellrichard, Treasurer Colt Hamersma and Assistant Officer Josie Hinze, and once dues are paid to the school, no matter whether one chooses to participate in one production or three, they are considered a member for the entire school year.
Meetings are held either every or every other Tuesday, depending on rehearsal schedules, Larson noted, and officer meetings start about a half hour before the club meetings.
"Officers discuss what we want to do with the club in the upcoming months, budgeting, performances and other such things. Club meetings discuss club schedule, fundraising and we work on theatrical skills that include improv and also technical skills," she said. "Students do not generally co-direct, but Mr. Chappell is very open to our ideas and suggestions. Students take roles as stage manager, make-up, set and costuming committees."
Larson stated that the club's mission is "to build theatrical skills and create a common community or family of students who appreciate all aspects of theater."
Pokorney concurred, "It's to engage more people in theater here at Kingsland and to provide more organization to producing our shows."
Larson noted they work a lot with improvisational skills, testing how you react to set-up situations, thinking on your toes. The students also work on monologues and speaking directly to an audience for an extended period of time. "But no worries, it's not onstage, just in front of fellow club members," she added.
Pokorney related the club has brought organization and ease in producing plays.
"It's nice that we have a more structured drama group. It challenges students to expand their skills and gain a broader knowledge of theater through activities and experience," he said. "It rewards them by giving them knowledge, experience and a sense of team contribution and togetherness."
Those who participate are rewarded through growing "self-confidence," by "stepping outside the box and exploring their creativity," he added.
"What I have noticed is that quiet or shy students are really coming out of their shells onstage or in front of the club through performances, improve games and fundraising," said Larson. "It is a great organization for students to come and enjoy. We do fun activities and students are encouraged to step outside the box."
Larson noted that although all are welcome, it feels like a privilege to be a part of something exciting, new and so close-knit. "We appreciate all our members, and because of the one-act production we just put on, we really feel like a family. Drama Club is a great stress reliever."
Larson hopes that the club grows in members and activities after its charter year.
"It is easy to take an active leadership role," she commented. "We like to have fun, no need to be shy - we love new faces!"
Pokorney invited local residents to "Bye, Bye, Birdie" on May 23 to 25.
"I would like the public to know that it takes a lot of hard work to perform these plays, and we need more people to see them - we can't be taken for granted," he said.

At the New York City Customer Success Tour this past June, the topic of hosting compliance statements or disclaimers within a Brainshark presentation was raised. The challenge customers in regulated industries face (i.e. financial services), is how to best display a compliance statement without interrupting the flow of the presentation. We have seen Brainshark presentations with the text on the first slide in small print, and a separate first, second, or last slide. Each company's Co...

One of the challenges for educators is to keep content relevant, for as soon as we create it, the content starts to become stale. This is especially true in any industry that is heavily regulated, such as mine: finance. If you have rules or policies, internal or external, driving you to maintain the relevance of your content, keeping it relevant isn't only a matter of a best practice, but may be one of compliance as well.

Hello- I'm pretty new here. I think I only posted on the Mother 3 fan translation thread here awhile ago, and then stuck to reading posts, not making them. Anyway, I'm in need of some advise. I'm hoping to make a webcomic called "The Sword of Epic," but I'm unsure of which type of art I should use. I think that the sketchy version, apart from its sketch-iness, is a bit better looking, but the Manga Studio-Gimp-ed one has color and actual fonts.
So... Which one do you think is better?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Would love it if they would do it, but monk is about the same thing as a runemaster in WoW lore, minor differences. I don't think they have the innovation to do any more classes, people in game complain to much as it is "this class is to uber, I can't beat them, it's too unfair../wah /wah" and then the dev's just nerf the fun out of the game for the sake of their pathetic attempts at pvp. We have seen their lack of innovation before in game, how many other's got sick and tired that all your gear in northrend looked exactly the same for about 5 levels? And now instead of giving us something new to play with in cataclysm, we get a revamped world, with all the same old classes to level up with all over again. They are even cutting the content down by instead of 10 new level's of content to 5. As cool as the worgen and goblin races are, its still the same classes that everyone has played ad-naseum. It just seems that all of their new innovative class idea's are all going to their new games, while we get stuck with the same ole thing, just re-do the talent tree's, (which they are constantly doing anyway).

- Update to support new MobileSubstrate (remove previous work-around)
- Add an option to not use Data APN for tethering. Do not use this.
It has been tested to work on all iOS versions from 3.0 to 4.0.1 and works by telling the iPhone to allow tethering on any APN that is used for iPhone data. As a result, you should not be charged extra from your phone company as all tethering data appears to come from the phone itself.
There is no icon for this item. After installation or reboot, tethering will be available to turn on in Settings -> General -> Network, or install the Tethering Toggle for SBSettings.
- Download TetherMe.deb file here
- And download it dependencies for preferences and APN settings : One / Two
- After downloading the deb file above rename it to tether.deb
- Copy it to var/mobile on your iphone and install using ifile or do the following
- Open up mobile terminal
- Type in su (press return)
- Type in alpine (press return)(Change your default password due to security reason)
- Type in dpkg -i tether.deb (press return)
- Reboot and respring your iphone
Ssh your iPhone. You may see instruction on how to install .deb file via SSH. And make a folder called AutoInstall in/var/root/Media/Cydia/ so you have /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall which is case sensitive and drop this debs file in the autoinstall folder, reboot and respring your iPhone.

MCC Named a Military Friendly School
"Inclusion on the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools shows MCCs commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students," stated G. Duncan Harris, Dean of Student Affairs, It is a testament to our commitment to providing veterans with the educational opportunities and support they need to succeed.
The Military Friendly Schools website, found at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com, features the list, interactive tools, and search functionality to help military students find the best school to suit their unique needs and preferences. The 1,739 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year's list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience.
Now in its fourth year, the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 12,000 VA-approved schools nationwide. The survey tabulation process, methodology and weightings that comprise the 2013 list were independently verified by Ernst and Young LLP. A full list of board members can be found at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/board.
A full story and detailed list of 2013 Military Friendly Schools will be highlighted in the annual G.I. Jobs Guide to Military Friendly Schools®, distributed in print and digital format to hundreds of thousands of active and former military personnel in early October. The Guide and associated media will also be featured at the Carrier Classic college basketball game on Nov. 9, between Ohio State and Marquette on the deck of the USS Yorktown. Both participating schools are on this year's list of Military Friendly Schools.
Students of any age who possess the desire to pursue higher education are welcome at MCC. Manchester Community College is proud of its academic excellence, new facilities, flexible schedules, small classes, low tuition and faculty with both academic and real world credentials. The college offers over 60 programs, transfer options, financial aid and scholarships, as well as access to baccalaureate degrees through guaranteed admissions programs with local universities.

|Apple Tech Support Results
|Average Call Length
|13 minutes
|Phone Grade 2012
|Web Grade 2012
|Overall Grade 2012
|Overall Grade 2011
|Overall Grade 2010
Each year that we conduct our tech support showdown, Apple bests the competition. This year it's getting a run for its money from the likes of Samsung and Sony. The company's secret weapon, Genius Bars, remain strong, offering reservations for face-to-face tech support. Plus, Express Lane remains one of the speediest and most effective methods for getting timely answers.
Unfortunately, another carry-over from previous years is the limited 90 days of phone support, unless you're willing to pony up for AppleCare, Apple's three-year computer protection program. AppleCare is $249 for the 11-inch MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and $349 for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. You can also pay a per-incident fee of $49.
For our testing, we asked Apple about three-finger swiping on the trackpad and extending battery life as well as "How can I share a file through AirDrop?"
On Apple's support site (www.apple.com/support), simple menus lead you to select increasingly specific parameters until you land at the correct support article. It took us about three minutes of trial-and-error clicking before we arrived at the appropriate articles for two questions. For our third query, we had to type AirDrop into the search bar before finding the correct result within the first three links.
Apple's Express Lane service (expresslane.apple.com) lets you enter your machine's serial number, and then helps pinpoint answers by exploring various menus. As customers progress through the options, Express Lane either proposes a help article as a solution or recommends that the user speak directly to one of its specialists. When confronted with this suggestion, users have the option to call Apple or have Apple call them.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't have an official Facebook or Twitter feed to answer user questions or complaints. Apple also doesn't offer email or live online chat.
For our first phone call, we filled out a Web form asking Apple to call us at 5:31 p.m. EST on a Wednesday. When the call came we were greeted with a recorded message: "To speak with an adviser, press 1. To reschedule this call, press 2." We pressed 1 and the voice informed us of a 5-minute estimated wait time.
In less time than that Michelle from Oregon cheerily introduced herself (she already knew our name). For the AirDrop question, she genially offered expert advice. At the end, Michelle offered to email us a step-by-step help article before reminding us we had 57 days left on our phone support. She also mentioned that we had 330 days left on our limited warranty, suggesting we buy an AppleCare Protection Plan. The entire call lasted 17 minutes and 29 seconds, and we spent less than 4 minutes on hold.
During our second call, with John in Phoenix, at 12:10 p.m. on a Thursday, we asked about three-finger swiping. He correctly directed us to the Trackpad options under System Preferences and had us make sure the gestures we wanted to activate were checked off. The call took a speedy 5 minutes and 4 seconds total.
For our third question — how to make our machine's battery life longer — we were connected to an amiable-sounding Chris from Salt Lake City at 4:21 p.m. on Thursday. At the beginning of the call, Chris wrongly told us our phone support had run out. Apple's voice-to-text translation of the serial number had gone awry. But before we gave him the correct serial number, Chris had already offered to point us toward the correct answer.
He suggested we use the F1 and F2 keys to adjust our screen brightness, go into System Preferences to tweak settings within our Mac's Energy Saver function, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, disconnect peripheral devices and close apps and watch the battery status in the upper right corner of our display to make sure we had enough juice for our pending activities.
At the end of the call, which took 19 minutes and 24 seconds, Chris gave us a link to more in-depth information about Apple batteries from Apple's support site.
Apple's technical support is still excellent. Online, Apple has amassed an almost dizzying amount of support articles, yet these are neatly filed away into clear and well-organized topics. While Apple's phone reps didn't always have the immediate answer on hand, they were always patient, cordial and determined to completely resolve our issues before we hung up the phone. And while Apple totally neglects social networking as a means to communicate with its customers, it uniquely offers in-store tech support from Apple Genius Bars across the country.
Dell service stinks. They also don't stand behind their equipment. I've had nothing but problems with Dell and will never purchase another.
then if the sony is the top 1 at tech support..
what is the brand that is best for gamings..
i mean which brand is best for gamings..
including the price the kind of specs the kind of products.
which is the best brand of laptop that is good for gaming..
mostly and surely about durability and performance through out the year.
"Acer Tech Report Results" is shown as the title on the Sony page.
I have to agree with Not Phil – I've never in my life encountered such appalling "service" as I just did from Dell! Will never buy from them again (not that they care).
ive got a couple of asus notebooks and also a netbook, over the yrs ive had a couple of minor warranty issues and asus support has been brilliant, the asus techs seem enthusiastic about there products and are more then happy to take the time to show u little things or answer questions,
I'm with Karen and notphil…….. Dell is terrible. Half the time they give you the wrong information and if you have continuing problems… too bad.
I say this as a person who has purchased 4 computers from them in the past, and will not in future.
the thing about dell is their consumer products suck they have for a long time and they probably always will. That said buy the same computer relabled vostro, pay the extra for pro support and your phone wait time is 2 minutes max and they'll have a US based technician solving any problem have and they'll drop off the part you need within 4 hours. but if you expect to pay $400 for a laptop that costs $375 to build ship and market. you'll get crap support.
I've had had Dell XPS's since 2004. That came with a dedicated phone line only for the XPS line, it was India sometimes but not all. The support was decent.
Prior to that I had Dell Dimension's 8400 and their tech support was as good as dealing with monkeys.
Recently I bought a Lenovo Desktop. Tech support is located in the U.S. for my model and I just read yesterday that all tech support is coming back to the states. I also bought a 5 yr. Priority Service upgrade so I am good till 2018 if I still even have this them?
Having U.S. support is one of the reasons I bought this system. I liked another one a bit more, same price.. more of a gaming system with support in India and no Priority Support like I do here in the states. I do get next day service with this one too and they will only warranty it for 3 yrs max, (what's that tell you?)
I am still within the time frame of returning this system exchanging it for the other and dealing with India.
Also, Lenovo does not use refurbished parts when repairing your computer, completely new parts are always used.
Let me just say that I will NEVER EVER buy a DELL product again! I just had the worst experience with tech support. I have had continuing problems and they said pretty much what I have already heard on here…too bad. I told them that you all just lost another Dell customer and it didn't really phase them too much. I was supposed to get a new laptop from all the problems I had with this one and they told me "it won't get approved from all the departments here and plus we need more information." Really?? Like you don't have a ton already with all the problems I've had??

and then i took help from axes pc care they are the genuine people their number is 1-877-509-8360
I'm stunned to see Sony get first place in tech support. That doesn't reflect my experience at all, and I've been on the phone with them as recently as a few months ago. I think they're no better than any other manufacturer, and they're all terrible.
I also think that Apple's tech support, while probably better than everyone else's, is overrated. I've had at least two negative experiences with them over the past couple of years, one of them requiring intervention on the part of a supervisor who was embarrassed by the ignorance and unprofessionalism of his subordinate.
When will Laptop Magazine release the showdown results for 2013?
We are putting the finishing touches on this story now. It will be coming in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

I use this in conjunction with other products and I love what it does to my hair. I can't really say for sure if it does reduce split ends as I don't inspect my hair often but I haven't noticed any either? I love the pump. It's easy to get product out and you get a good amount. I use one pump on damp hair. It doesn't weigh down my hair or make it greasy which is nice.
I have platinum blonde hair and I've tried everything to help heal my ends to keep my hair color I love so much, despite the price I pay vis-à-vis split ends, sometimes even crunchy texture. Although I use a few other products like Chi Silk infusion when it's damp first, I could not quite get that smooth feel and movement I so missed! I tried using blow dry serums, and other creams thinking it would help but it just made my hair feel gritty and weighed down. Then I found this product very randomly. Total SCORE!! Omg you guys this was finally the end of a year long search! I'm sure if I stop using it, it would revert back to dry texture. But I have no desire to be au natural anytime soon or stop using this while it's working. I definitely advise giving it a try. It's not expensive and worked wonders for my fine (but plentiful), platinum blonde hair. I put it on my hair when it's damp focusing on the very dry ends in a concentrated fashion then whatever is left on my hands, I mix through the rest of my hair and dry. Of course we all know it's no replacement for trims and can't actually repair ends, it likely fuses them and seals them temporarily. But it's a great way to buy time between cuts.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's not so much that it doesn't do anything for my hair but my hair is thin and can get weighed down and look greasy with certain products. Unfortunately, this is one of those products. It not only is too much for my hair but it makes it sticky. I usually run my fingers through my hair throughout the day, and my hands get sticky and gross. So even if I noticed awesome results which I really don't, I couldn't use it because I would cringe just putting it in my hair knowing it's so sticky.
Did nothing to my hair. Didn't make my hair smoother or softer, literally did absolutely nothing. Would not recommend
I've just recently bought my second bottle of this, as it's now part of my everyday hair routine! As someone who does not like going to the hair dressers .. Childhood hairdresser trauma I suffer at lot with split ends! I used to catch myself splitting my split ends which was making my hair so much worse and I didn't want to get them cut! Despite this I also hated the look that split ends caused and especially when I could see how bad they were in the light! I bought this by chance and after a few uses (putting in on damp hair) I could see the difference . My hair looked sleeker and less damaged! I know that I'm going to have my split ends cut and this serum only glues the ends together temporarily I'm happy to use this as a solution until I'm brave enough to enter a hair salon!
I was so eager to try this as I have lots of split ends and breakage. I don't style or colour my hair however there is still breakage. I am not sure if the serum works though. There doesn't seem to be much change to my ends. It does make it shinier and smoothens my hair out. Need to use it for longer to see if it is effective.

HG hair repairing product. I am constantly dying my hair, and recently bleached it at home (yes, not a good idea, but I did it anyway). After the bleach job my hair was extremely damaged...like felt like straw looked like death. However, after a week of using this product, I have seen significant improvement in the overall health of my hair! Really does seal split ends!! Surprisingly, a little goes a long way - i have mid-back length hair (medium thickness) and one pump is enough for my ends. The scent is light and fresh and goes away soon after application.
Highly Highly HIGHLY recommend <3
Note: this is NOT a moisturizing product, I use a separate hair oil for that, but the combination of this and my moroccan hair oil is HEAVEN.
Love it! Does exactly as it claims. My hair was extremely damaged from excessive use of heating tools, but since I've been using this product it has literally healed my hair. Goodbye split ends!

I don't see much of a differnce with this product. It's more on the sticky end when applying to hair, so it works better when hair is wet. It smells great though.

This product is really AMAZING!! It makes your hair look healthier and in better condition. It makes a HUGE difference on the ends. I have really horrible dry split ends and this tame them like crazyy! This is only my first use and I'm super happy with the results! I applied it after I washed and condition my hair as a leave in creme, specially to the ends, and just a little bit to the rest of it. It didn't make my hair look greasy (which is a problem I have). I have super damage ends and I was thinking about cutting it even though I want really long hair and this change my mind. Excellent product. Also, it was only four bucks so it's super affordable.

Dissing Web 2.0
Wow! So now I know where the cynics hang out. This latest piece from The Register goes even further than Nicholas Carr in criticising virtually every aspect of Web 2.0. Of course, there are some valid points here: the web 2.0 world is utterly susceptible to groupthink (especially since we lack cultural diversity), and we rarely see the bigger picture. What's more, criticisms of the Web 2.0 Utopians seem to be founded in some sort of reality.

Despite the fact that most fish do not have lungs, they are still able to "cough." When a fish's gills are being obstructed by parasites (such as water fleas and isopods), the fish rapidly flutters its gills in an attempt to bring more water across its gills (aiding in oxygen acquisition and potentially dislodging the obstructions). Fish also do this when they are plagued by a disease or ingest a pollutant that causes mucous build-up.
This reminds me of the bay thank god I dont eat any type of meat.

For The Love Of Fondue!
Hey Foodies!
I'm sure you're wondering why I'm writing about fondue? It's not a food and it's not a dish. But it is a WAY to eat food. And a really fun way at that.
The reason I write about fondue today is simply because I just did exactly that! My foodie friends and I spent some time at Bread & Chocolate in Old Town, Alexandria (and how convenient that my boyfriend works there too!), and happened to have their delicious ganache-based fondue.
Now, I've had my fair share of fondue in my life, so you could say I'm a bit of a pro (not at all, I just eat a lot), and I love trying new flavors of cheese, chocolate, oils, etc. In fact, my all time favorite restaurant is The Melting Pot. Yes, I KNOW, it's a chain, but I love it so much not just because of the actual fondue, but because of the event based around it. If you've ever been to The Melting Pot, it is like a 3 hour ordeal, so go with people you enjoy spending time with.
I also love the fact that you can make every course in it as well. A cheese course for an appetizer (my Stepmom found this great Swiss cheese at the grocery store that works really well…I wish I could remember the name), flavored oil or broth for the main course (use seafood, beef, chicken, vegetables), and last but not least, the dessert course. Now all of you that know me know how bad my sweet tooth can be, so this is definitely my favorite part of the meal. I love how you can use any type of chocolate, mix it with other flavors, and dip in so many different types of foods in. The dippers….now that's what makes fondue. You could dip in almost anything for the dessert round - fruit, graham crackers, marshmallows, pretzels, shortbread. The list goes on and on. And who DOESN'T like everything dipped in chocolate!?
So for all of you that have never done fondue, do it. Now. Like, right now. Get all your friends and make a party out of it. It's great for game nights, sports games, and even cocktail parties. And remember, it is about the food, but even more about the company.
Until next time, my fabulous foodies, happy eating!

Spartan Grapplers Travel to Iowa for NCAAs
UP NEXT: Thurs.-Sat., March 20-22 NCAA Championships Cedar Falls, Iowa All Day
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS: The Michigan State grapplers began postseason action last weekend, traveling to Minneapolis, Minn., for the Big Ten Conference Championships. As a team, the Spartans finished eighth, accumulating 48.5 team points. Iowa finished first, capturing its 24th straight Big Ten title. MSU fared better individually though, as each of their All-Americans garnered individual honors. Morgan won his second consecutive 118-pound championship, while Picklo finished second at 190, and Harvey came in third at 177 pounds. All three qualified for the NCAA Championships, March 20-22 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Morgan, seeded No. 1, began defense of his 118-pound crown with a 6-1 decision over Tim Dernlan of Purdue in Session I of the tournament, moving on to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, Morgan scored a 15-7 major decision over 1996 Olympic Silver Medalist Brandon Paulson of Minnesota, advancing to the championship match against Lindsey Durlacher of Illinois. Morgan and Durlacher traded takedowns and escapes throughout the first three periods, finishing regulation knotted at seven, extending the match to sudden-death overtime. Just over a minute into the extra session, Morgan scored a takedown to claim the championship. At 190 pounds Picklo, also a No. 1 seed, advanced to the championship as well. He got there by way of a 3-1 victory over Karl Roesler of Illinois in Session I, and a 3-1 overtime defeat of Penn State's Rob Neidlinger.
In the final, Picklo, ranked No. 4 nationally,
squared off against No. 3 Tim Hartung of Minnesota for the third time this season. The two split a pair of matches earlier in the season, with Hartung winning 1-0 at the National Duals, and Picklo scoring a 2-1 tie-breaker victory during the Big Ten dual meet season. The third meeting proved just as exciting as the previous two, with each wrestler able to manage only a single escape point through the first three periods. Hartung then scored a takedown just under a minute into the overtime session to end the match.
In the 177-pound weight class, Harvey lived up to his No. 3 seed, downing Minnesota's Brandon Eggum, 6-0, to grab third place. Harvey pinned Frank Morici of Penn State at the 4:13 mark in Session I, then lost to Jevon Herman of Illinois in the semifinals, 3-1 in overtime. The loss is Harvey's second overtime defeat at the hands of Herman this season. Harvey then faced Joel Goededn of Northwestern in the consolation semifinals, coming away with a 13-4 major decision before wrestling Eggum in the consolation final.
Other wrestlers competing for Michigan State in the Big Ten Championships: Jason Nusbaum (Fr., Centerville) at 126 pounds; Issac Miller (So., Flint) at 134; Sam Hakim (Fr., Randolph, NJ) at 142; Adam Elderkin (Fr., Sand Lake) at 150; Greg DeGrand (So., Ann Arbor) at 158; Ralph Conte (Sr., Cleveland, OH) at 167; and Jason Peterson (Sr., Garden City) at heavyweight. All finished the tournament 0-2. Final team standings for the Big Ten Championships are as follows: 1st place, Iowa, 140.5 team points; 2nd, Minnesota, 116.5; 3rd, Illinois, 105.5; 4th, Penn State, 89.5; 5th, Michigan, 59.5; 6th, Ohio State, 56.0; 7th, Wisconsin, 55.0; 8th, Michigan State, 48.5; 9th, Indiana, 43.0; 10th, Purdue, 39.5; 11th, Northwestern, 39.0.
Other wrestlers winning individual Big Ten Championships were: Eric Jetton of Wisconsin at 126 pounds; Mark Ironside, Iowa, 134; Roger Chandler, Indiana, 142; Lincoln McIlravy, Iowa, 150; Ernest Benion, Illinois, 158; Kevin Wilmot, Wisconsin, 167; Mitch Clark, ohio State, 177; Tim Hartung, Minnesota, 190; and Kerry McCoy, Penn State, HWT. Minnesota Head Coach J Robinson was named Coach of the Year by his peers, while Iowa's Mark Ironside walked away with both Outstanding Wrestler of the Championships and Big Ten Wrestler of the Year honors, and Penn State's Jeremy Hunter earned Freshman of the Year accolades. In addition to the individual champions, the Big Ten qualified 59 other wrestlers for the NCAA Championships, plus three alternates.
NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP NOTES: With his second straight Big Ten championship, Morgan became the first Spartan to win back-to-back championships since Tom Milkovich won four straight titles at 134/142 pounds from 1970-73. Tom's brother Pat won three titles, but each one was separated by a year (1972 74-76)...Morgan enters the NCAA Tournament with a team-best 36-4 record, including a perfect 20-0 mark in the Big Ten. His career record now stands at 80-7, good for 16th on the al-time MSU list, while his .919 winning percentage ranks sixth...Picklo's season mark now stands at 34-7, 16-2 in the Big Ten, and Harvey check in at 33-6, 13-3 in the conference, including a team-high 14 pins.
On Morgan, Harvey, and Picklo: "All three have a legitimate chance to win a National Championship. In order to do that, they have to wrestle to the best of their ability, and get a few breaks along the way. But I think all three of them are certainly as good as anyone in the country.
RANKINGS: The latest Amateur Wrestling News rankings are available on the Internet at http://www.intermatwrestle.com. Michigan State is No. 16 in the most current (Feb. 26) team poll, while on the individual side Morgan is No. 3 at 118, Harvey No.3 at 177, and Picklo No. 4 at 190. In the Wrestling Institute Newsmagazine rankings, Morgan is No. 1, Harvey No. 2, and Picklo No. 3.

"It's possible to end this – in our lifetime. What we need are not slogans about African Illnesses, emotional appeals to Save Those In Need, or personal campaigns to Guilt Everyone Into Donating Money.

Working in Malaria prevention is important primarily, because the disease is comparatively simple to prevent and yet remains a leading cause of death throughout Africa and many other parts of the developing world. Through the proper use of bed nets, covering up exposed skin during evening hours, and removing/covering sources of standing water around your home diminish the mosquito population and therefore your chances of catching malaria.
From personal experience and living in Mozambique for the past 2 years, I can easily say that Malaria is one of the most diagnosed and treated cases at our local Hospital, and that all of my neighbors have been diagnosed or treated for malaria at some point in my service. I also say this while we are in the middle of our rainy season here in Mozambique, and already Malaria cases are beginning to skyrocket as the mosquito population begins to boom.

text: The Bluetooth Sound Enhancing Amplifier looks like steampunk, but it has some modern features married with some old technology. The amplifier uses two 6N3 vacuum tubes to "generate 20 RMS watts per channel of distortion-free signal, adding punch and clarity to high bit-rate MP3s, Apple Lossless, or CD-quality audio played wirelessly from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android phone. The tubes also provide robust bass response by ameliorating the natural acoustic qualities of second and third harmonics for richer sound coloration."

Last night I got to speak at a really unique event: the Cleveland chapter of the William K. Thomas Inn of Courts (a bunch of lawyers club?) invited me to talk about Superman. So that, but then — but then — a bunch of high-powered attorneys acted out the Superman litigation history. To elevate the drama, Time-Warner was played by Lex Luthor and Superman himself represented the families. Brainiac, Daredevil, and Batman (he was the bailliff) were there, too. The judge was played by a prominent Cleveland standing judge (no names, please). I really wished Jeff Trexler was there — seeing it this way was actually very enlightening, even as (especially as?) farce. The Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court was there, too (talking about Groupons). Thanks to legendary civil rights attorney (and fantastic host) Avery Friedman for inviting me.
As we mingled in the cocktail hour, I spoke with real-life lawyers who had all reviewed the case. They all said: what a ____________ mess. After years of being convinced I was just dumb, this felt really good to hear. I also felt relieved that the two things I was most mad about in the case — the termination/trap letter to Jean Peavy Shuster and the 6-page dismissal from the 9th Circuit — were also looked at by the lawyers as really bizarre, shady events.
Afterwards, I met Adam (above), who was working there and got Rosa from Mac's Backs some much-needed coffee. He grabbed some of our empty book boxes for "his comic collection." I asked what he read and he showed me this:

Had such an amazing time shooting for AbbyWinters! It's been so long since I've worked with them and I was lucky enough for my very first shoot with them in the Netherlands to be with my real life Aussie buddy Gala Vanting (who runs gentlemanhandling.com). We may have gotten eaten alive by evil dutch mosquitos but I made her squirt in my face 3 times. Even Iäm impressed with myself :3 hehehe.
I got to shoot with Kylie H as well. She was nice enough to run a pathfinder game for me. My cam battery died though so I didnt get any pics of her after the shoot sadly. Ill post some when the set gets released on AW though :D
Lastly- Taking nude selfies by the river, wheee! Being able to sunbathe without setting on fire is awesome. I like Europe sun much more than Aussie sun (aka skyfire).

My son is 15 months old and his favourite toys are the plastic containers in my cupboard, shoe boxes , and of course our dog. He has push along toys and blocks but they don't hold his attention as long as his favourites.

My baby girl is so adorable i cant believemy eyes...she never sees to amaze me.She was walk from she was 10 months, hitting, throwing and all that as she got 11 months and so on.She talks alot in her own language, she says hi, bye ,mama,dada and sister and grandma. She likes to type on the phone she is 13 months and now so like to talk onthe phone and play with everything excat her own toys...i gave her my cellphone to play with and i turn it off first and then give it to her and when she notice it wont cut on she got mad and start crying because she cudnt search through the phone.Now she takes all her toys and throw the them all over the house.My big baby.I love her so much i cant stop thinking about her And if she is safe aor not i dnt want nothing to happen to her.I cant make up my mind which school is right for her to go to.When she sees other children dnt care what age so always plays with them they cud be 10 year old she still plays with them.she like to dance and my noise.

My 17m daughter can quickly put the pyramid stacking toy together in the correct cone order. we bought it for her and taught her how to play with it when she was 14m, at that time she just threw them like a ball. But now suddenly she knows the strategy to build the right pyramid by comparing the size of pieces. Then she can finish them in half a minute.

Some good eco-friendly toy brands include HABA, Hape, and Plan Toys. Much better than plastic with nasty chemicals!

Lol, my daughter literally gets angry when my husband or I try to read to her. She smacks the book out of our hands or grabs in forcefully. I figured out it's because SHE wants to read. It's so cute watching her turn the pages and babble in different tones and volumes. ;p
