Glacier drops its appeal of landmark court ruling
Glacier Northwest dropped its appeal of a federal court ruling that requires the company to comply with some of the nation's most far-reaching environmental laws before it can move forward on its proposed pier on Maury Island.
Last week's decision by the corporation and its legal team came days before oral arguments were scheduled to begin before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals next week.
Glacier's move means that both it and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will have to comply with U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez's decision issued last August, which put a temporary, 11th-hour halt to the project.
Martinez ruled that federal agencies failed to uphold the nation's strictest environmental law when it awarded the corporation a permit to move forward on a 305-foot barge-loading pier. Among other things, Martinez ruled, the Corps should have required an Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, before issuing a permit.
In December, the federal government decided not to appeal Martinez's decision, but Glacier remained in the case as an "intervenor."
Pete Stoltz, a spokesman for the company, said on Monday that Glacier officials decided it made sense to drop the appeal. The corporation filed a one-page request to voluntarily dismiss the appeal on Friday.
"We're just going to go through with the permit process. We've got that well under way," he said.
Amy Carey, president of Preserve Our Islands, a Vashon-based group opposed to the mine-expansion project, said she was pleased by the corporation's decision.
The move, she said, means Glacier realizes "the ruling was sound, that there's a need for an EIS, that the injunction was valid and that they will be heeding fully the Martinez ruling."
"We've never had Glacier dismiss an appeal or legal action voluntarily before," she said, adding, "I commend Glacier for recognizing that the right thing to do was to move forward in a positive fashion."
Meanwhile, Glacier officials and conservation leaders in Seattle continue to work on a potential purchase of Glacier's 237-acre site on Maury Island. According to both Carey and Stoltz, an appraisal is under way, a key step in the complex sales process.
Lawmakers set aside $15 million from the Asarco clean-up settlement and other hazardous-waste-related proceeds to purchase the site. Depending on the appraisal and negotiations, additional funds will likely be needed to secure a purchase.

Syracuse, NY - Does one member of your house drop his empty yogurt container in the trash while you put yours in the blue bin for recycling? Who's right?
What about envelopes? Can they still be recycled if they have a window? Wrapping paper? Tissue paper?
The blue bin recycling folks will answer these questions for you in a live Q&A over lunch Thursday on Syracuse.com. Join us at 11:30 a.m.
Andrew Radin, director of Recycling and Waste Reduction at the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency, has been teaching people about recycling here for more than 20 years.
Kristen Lawton is the public information officer at OCRRA. She is behind the quarterly newsletter, monthly email blasts and the website.
They can tell you what goes in the blue bin and what goes in the trash. They can also tell you how to recycle electronics.
OCRRA also accepts yard and garden waste and turns it into compost you can put back in your garden.
If you can't wait until Thursday, you can ask OCRRA's database. It asks "How do I get rid of..." and you supply the word.

Coconut Wave Riders
No one really knows the exact origin of the coconut palm, but coconuts almost certainly seeded themselves all over the world when they fell into the ocean. They rode the waves, sometimes for months, and were carried ashore in Polynesia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, India, South America, Hawaii and Florida. Many coconuts actually began to sprout during their long ocean voyages, so when they found fertile soil in tropical regions, they took root immediately.
From the earth to your skin
The Fiji Islands, touched by a perfect balance of sunshine, rain and tropical breezes allow for the richest coconuts on the planet to grow as nature intended. This hand crafted soap is made with essentially pure ingredients to nourish, moisturize and cleanse your skin. Fragrance Free is for sensitive skin and for those who wish to enjoy the natural purity of coconut oil.
Other Ingredients
Traditional saponified cold pressed organic virgin coconut oil
I have sensitive skin and this product is too potent for my face, and even the rest of my body (except hands). If I leave it on my skin, it starts to tingle and feels like it is being slightly burned. I have to rinse it very quickly. I guess I need a less potent version.
no fragrance! I do find it too drying for everyday use on most of my body (combination, acne prone, extremely sensitive skin) but I use it on my shaved under arms without irritation like most gentle soaps and hands. If you find it too large I just use a knife when it is first open to make slices a little more than a 1/4" thick...no huge bar of soggy soap in the shower and good size for handwashing:)
Great soap!
Posted by 5378836477586337613 on Jun 15, 2016
I love this soap. No dyes, no perfumes, just one ingredient. Good balance between being clean and not too dried out.
good ++++! ordered again :))

Love this soap!
Posted by 4873227120929796260 on Oct 12, 2014
I love the fact that this soap is just organic coconut oil soap with nothing else added. I'm very pleased with the product and will buy it again. Fast shipping too!
Nice soap
Posted by Reviewer3363456 on Jul 02, 2014
It's fragrance free and non drying, it's also all natural, will buy again.
Dissolves too easily
Posted by 5541963313422585309 on Apr 30, 2014
I love the organic ingredients list, however it dissolves faster than regular soap. Next to the basin for hand wash is probably okay, but I keep mine in the shower and the damp environment makes the soap wither away too fast. Won't buy again:-(

However, you couldn't wipe the smile off the face of Christian, who hails from Carshalton in England, played college golf for Wallace State-Hanceville and Auburn and lives in Chelsea.
He had just won the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic for his first win on the Nationwide Tour.
He and Mathias Gronberg, a winner this season on this developmental tour the level below the PGA Tour and a past winner on the European Tour, had journeyed up and down the tough closing hole nine times to equal the longest playoff in Tour history.
Christian hit the fairway all nine times and hit a 6-iron on to the green every time. He finally hit it close the ninth time and made a 3-footer for birdie to close out the extra holes.
The playoff lasted over two hours and became a battle of endurance. Christian, who has played professional golf full-time since 1998, catapulted himself into the top 25 on the money list. He now stands 23rd after depositing the winner's check of $94,500.
There are eight events left on the schedule, including the season-ending Tour Championship. He plans to play six and if he can stay in the top 25 on the Nationwide money list, he will earn a PGA Tour card for the first time.
Christian had displayed a few signs that this could be his week as he was without a top-10 finish all season, but a magical weekend with rounds of 63 and 64 left him in a tie with Gronberg at 19-under.
"I overcame any nerves and felt totally comfortable the final day," Christian said. "I putted phenomenally and was absolutely in a zone mentally. Strangely enough, I enjoyed the playoff immensely."
After needing just 24 putts in his final round Sunday, Christian is now brimming with confidence.
"I believe I'll need around $80,000 (more) to get my (PGA Tour) card. Now that I've won a tournament out here I really believe I can win some more," Christian said. "I have new-found confidence in my putting, which together with my solid ball striking, is a huge plus."
Banner weekend
Heath Slocum, winner of The Barclays on Sunday, has ties to the state as well. Slocum played golf for the University of South Alabama and goes to Mark Blackburn, based at Gunters Landing in Guntersville, for instruction.
Slocum, who won for the third time on the PGA Tour, held off a Who's Who of golf including Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, Ernie Els and Steve Stricker to go from No. 124 to third in the FedEx Cup points list. The Barclays was the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Chip Deason, who grew up in Centreville and played for the University of Alabama, won the NGA/Hooters Tour's ComSouth Classic in Hawkinsville, Ga., with a stunning score of 28-under. It is his second win on this developmental tour and he won $33,500.
He won by two shots with Ben Briscoe, a former South Alabama golfer from Wales, alone in second. Former State Amateur champ Will Wilcox finished tied for fifth in his Hooters Tour debut.

|[TowerTalk] Phillystran, etc

Interested to know whether anyone has experience using High Modulus Polyethylene (also known as Spectra) rope for guying towers? Apparently the material is stronger than Kevlar, is UV stable, etc. >From Phillystran website the description of the material is: Phillystran high modulus polyethylene fiber ropes (PSPE) have been engineered for applications where lightweight, high strength and good abrasion resistance is important. Phillystran PSPE ropes are general purpose working ropes manufactured in a 7x19 construction with an overall braided polyester jacket. Typical applications where PSPE ropes should be considered are winch lines, mooring lines and towing lines. The quarter inch material is listed on Phillystran's website as 7700 pound breaking strength - stronger than 1/4" EHS? - and the 3/8" is listed as 15,000 pounds. Lots of companies make it and from what I can tell the price is very attractive. One company said for an extra six cents per foot it would have a black polyurethane coating for the purpose of shedding water.

Did "Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo" make the trip?
The children's book series by author Nancy Krulik may have. In the last week professional movers switched over 900 carts of books and materials to the new South Hadley Public Library on 2 Canal Street.
On Saturday sixty children with a parade of wagons, bikes and trikes powered by the children's "Kazoo Brigade" transported a few more from the now-closed library at 27 Bardwell St., to the soon-to-be-opened facility.
Why kazoos? Library trustee Gillian Woldorf who attended with daughter Tovah said "Why not? It is traditional during a parade that people make noise. Instead of banging pots and pans we decided on kazoos."
The books transferred were from the holiday collection in the children's room. Each child was given one book with older marchers given more. Town police officers aided the marchers with traffic control on the parade route. The new library is slated to open this week.

FLINT, Michigan — The chairman of the state Democratic Party is saying the election day announcement of Flint's financial emergency is politically motivated.
The panel also recommended Snyder appoint an emergency financial manager to take over the city.
The announcement comes the same day as voters are to choose between incumbent Mayor Dayne Walling and challenger Darryl Buchanan.
Brewer said the "announcement regarding Flint's finances on election day in Flint is despicable and clearly politically motivated."
A spokesperson for Snyder could not immediately be reached for comment.
"The so-called crisis in Flint is a creation of the Governor's policy attacks on our urban areas and working families," Brewer said.
Brewer pointed to the governor's decision earlier this year to cut revenue sharing to many local communities. In Flint, the cut initially left an approximately $8 million hole in the city's budget, officials said at the time.
"Was there any question that that type of cut would have a negative impact on the city's finances?" Brewer said. "Snyder, Treasurer Dillon and the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for creating a false emergency like this for their own political gain."

For the second consecutive game, Fredonia scored three goals in the first eight minutes and cruised to victory.
On Monday, Cassadaga Valley was the victim as the Hillbillies rolled, 5-1, in the non-league soccer contest.
"I put that challenge out to the kids again," Fredonia coach Jeff Walker said of grabbing an early lead.
Aidan Lang, who was at the center of Fredonia's 4-0 win over Portville on Friday, got the scoring started with his tally off an assist from Pat McCarthy.
Just over a minute later, McCarthy set up Justin Nichols for a quick 2-0 lead and Fredonia wasn't even close to finished.
Jon Saeli and Nichols each scored unassisted goals before Bryce Gifford made it 5-0 just under 23 minutes into the game.
"This was a nice game for us going into the playoffs," Walker added. "We got a lot of our non-starters a lot of playing time."
Cassadaga Valley's Kyle Ruge ruined the shutout bid at the 59-minute mark of the second half.
Nick Hart and Morgan Thompson split goalkeeping duties for Fredonia.
Fredonia 'hosts' a first-round playoff game against Roy-Hart on Wednesday, at Fredonia State.
"We've been very fortunate to work with Fredonia State in the past," Walker explained. "We were able to work with them again. Fortunately, there were no conflicts with their schedules and we could make it work."

PORTAGE -- For anyone wanting a small illustration of why Kalamazoo is doing better economically than the state of Michigan, Stryker Corp.'s leader presented one Thursday night.
Stephen P. MacMillan, president and chief executive officer of the Kalamazoo-based medical-device maker, compared the value of his company to two of Michigan's best-known companies over the past five years.
At the end of 2003, General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. were each worth $30 billion while Stryker was worth $17 billion. The value figure comes from each company's market capitalization, or what the investment community believes a company is worth.
As of last month, Stryker, with a market capitalization of $26.8 billion, was worth more than GM ($10.8 billion) and Ford ($12.6 billion) combined.
"For a lot of reasons we'd all like to see them doing better," MacMillan told a crowd of about 300 during the Kalamazoo Regional Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner meeting Thursday at the Air Zoo.
"The good times aren't always guaranteed. We wake up every day paranoid about how we keep the good times going," he said. "We're proud, but we're also constantly on edge. ... We've seen so many great companies go down and we certainly don't want to be one of those."
MacMillan, who began his keynote address by joking that given the economic development news announced this week (MPI Research CEO) Bill Parfet should have been invited to speak, said staying positive about Kalamazoo can create more success for the region.
"There are so many great things going on in Kalamazoo and we've got to be telling that story," he said. "With Fabri-Kal and Kaiser and AT&T and those job announcements. And then you look at what Bill Parfet and MPI announced this week. ... Sometimes it's that spark to get us back to thinking about the incredible things we have going on here."
MPI and other officials said this week the preclinical drug testing company would expand operations over the next five to seven years, bringing 3,300 new jobs to Mattawan and downtown Kalamazoo.
Stryker has been growing its annual sales by double-digit rates the past seven years, reaching $6 billion in 2007. And while growth has come by expanding sales overseas and investing in products manufactured outside Southwest Michigan, MacMillan reminded the audience that Stryker has also invested heavily here.
In the past five years, it has spent $189.7 million for a new medical-division building, an expanded instruments-division building and its new world headquarters, MacMillan said. And it has doubled employment by creating 793 new jobs here.
"I continue to think the best thing I can do is help run this company on a global basis and then the benefits that will accrue through our own success are what come back, hopefully, to this community," he said.

Cancellations come with fee at South Whidbey Parks and Rec
Canceling a reservation with one of South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District's many offered programs costs a little more these days.
Prior to a recent adjustment by parks district leaders, people could change their plans without penalty. But after a series of last-minute cancellations, an eight percent service fee and refund policy was added.
"It was particularly painful for programs where we had wait lists," said Carrie Monforte, parks program coordinator.
Refunds requested before the cancellation deadline are subject to an eight percent service fee, with a minimum charge of $12 and a maximum cost of $45.
If a reservation is canceled after a deadline date or within five business days of a program's start, refunds are not awarded.
Full refunds are given for classes canceled by the parks district but not for cancellations of one-day classes, trips, camps or special events.

Over the past few weeks, my friends and I have repeated the same conversation: you know you're getting old when Christmas sneaks up on you and leaves you in a constant state of panic.
Yes, that's how I would describe my December – a constant state of panic. There were so many things going on – work, deadlines, weddings, reunions, people to meet, people to take out, gifts to buy and it's not over yet.
I remember the Christmases of my childhood – how time seemed to move so slowly, how I kept counting down to Christmas Eve because it was only then, after midnight struck and we had eaten our Noche Buena, that I could open my presents. Now, I don't even spend a second thinking about the presents I would receive – I'm too busy working on everyone else's. Which, despite the craziness, is a very good thing, I think.
I knew that despite the madness, I wanted to have a special Christmas manicure. I already failed in that department during our our annual Christmas dinner slash Secret Santa slash gift-wrapping-contest. I was so busy wrapping my gifts, preparing menu cards and cooking that I ended up wearing Chanel Rouge Rubis on my nails. It's a very pretty red, yes, but I was hoping to do something a little more creative.
I finally had the chance to do just that on Christmas Eve. After dinner and while watching Sleepless on Seattle on cable, I gave myself a Christmas mani. I knew I wanted to do something fun but with my limited nail art skills, I wasn't sure what design I could do.
"Candy cane nails!" Jill suggested. But I seriously can't do a tape mani. That's something I still need to learn – my second color always ends up under the tape, ruining the whole thing.
I thought about painting snowmen on my nails but knew that with my lack of artistic flair, they will probably look like marshmallow blobs. I googled "Christmas mani" and "Christmas nails" for inspiration. I saw a lot of Christmas trees and Christmas lights. But the snowman idea refused to go away.
Maybe it's because I fell in love with Olaf in Frozen. And maybe because one of my favorite songs from the movie is "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" (I love that movie! If you haven't seen it yet, watch it! And get the soundtrack. I can already see it as a Broadway musical.)
Maybe it's because Jill and her mom built their own snowman.
Believe it or not, this guy is made of soap suds. (We don't have snow here in the Philippines.) And he will last for weeks and weeks!
So yes, I decided, I was going to try to give myself a snowman mani. I used Dior Nymphea as the base, NARS Ecume for the snowman's body, Illamasqua Boosh for the eyes, arms and buttons, RBL Chinoise for the scarf and Marc Jacobs Snap! for the carrot nose. I tried to use a dotting tool to create the snowman's head and body and I struggled with that at first but I'm happy with how the mani turned out.
I knew I didn't want to make multiple snowmen (I was worried about how they'd turn out) so I just added snowflakes to the other nails. Except they don't really look like snowflakes, I know. But I still like them anyway. On my other hand, I drew another snowman on my ring finger and used Marc Jacobs Nirvana to give it a green scarf. Because I am right-handed, the snowman on my right hand looks a bit more sloppy, like it was an all-white penguin. But I still think it looks cute. (Sadly, I don't have pictures of that other guy.)
I've worn my snowman for a few days now and I still really like it. My friends like it too – everywhere I go, people always ask to take a closer look at my nails.
I will keep this mani on for as long as I could – until it's time to think about my New Year mani.

Rick Porcello has allowed 18 hits and nine earned runs in his last two combined starts -- which begs the question: Is the 20-year-old pitcher in the midst of a sophomore slump?


text: Well i've had the lump there for almost six months, so I don't think it only plugged a few days ago, unless it was partially plugged and then got fully plugged, if that makes any sense. Totally strange. And I'm hoping it resolves and stops hurting very soon because I really can't afford to go to the doctor. Ugh.

ZANDAAM, The Netherlands -- Ahold here last week terminated its agreement to acquire Pathmark Stores in the face of "strong opposition" by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Ahold's move drew swift condemnation from Pathmark, which promised to "hold Ahold responsible for the consequences of its actions" (see story at right). Hans Gobes, Ahold spokesman, told SN that the FTC took a different tack in its negotiations with Ahold that appears to signal a new approach by antitrust authorities ...

Are you concerned about online video content about you or your business on the Web that may be hurting your professional reputation? Do you need help with gathering evidence and understanding the legal process, but aren't yet ready to hire an attorney to represent you? I interviewed digital forensic analyst and Internet libel specialist Michael Roberts about how a non-attorney like himself has helped an increasing number of victims of harassment and defamation online, and why he argues that our existing free speech laws need to be changed.
Mike's full title is a rather lengthy one: Victim's Advocate, Expert Witness, Digital Forensics Analyst, Electronic Discovery & Litigation Support Consultant. (Mike joked with me that you could add to his already-lengthy title, "Anonymous Blogger Bounty Hunter.")
I previously reported for ReelSEO on the Carla Franklin case, which was the subject of national media attention last month. Michael was helping Carla Franklin with unmasking the identity of a person who she claimed was harassing her offline and online, and was making allegedly defamatory comments about her on YouTube, which is owned by Google. Both of them were interviewed on the CBS Early Show.
More On Libel And Defamation With Google/YouTube
You can check out more Interenet libel and defamation podcast interviews at Rexxfield.com. In my own interview with Michael, we talk about the following topics:
- What does an Internet libel specialist do, and how they help their client's and attorneys' clients with defamation cases involving video?
- How are Google & YouTube handling libel claims?
- What's the legal process for filing a libel claim like?
- What are the costs?
- Mike's hypothesis about how Google's "diversity algorithm" purposefully displays negative, and sometimes outright malicious and even defamatory search results (and video in those search results)
- Why Mike says that the Communications Decency act has created "an incentive for libel" to proliferate online, and why he believes the act should be changed.
- "Libel tourism" in online video, and how cases may be tried where the offended party is located and where the damage has been done.
"I don't want you to think I'm a Google basher; I do think it's an incredible company." Says Mike. "But it's become like a big grown-up body, but with a teenage mentality as far as the quality of the results. and I don't think YouTube or Google are rearranging the information in the way that they could be in accordance with their mission."

A team of managers and engineers from Marshall Space Flight Center are in a meeting this afternoon at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC briefing key leaders on various studies that outline a variety of NASA programs, a senior space agency spokesman told The Times today.
"A team from Marshall is at NASA HQ today to brief senior managers on one of many engineering studies," said Mike Cabbage, NASA spokesman. "This is an informational meeting only. Decisions on future space flight plans will be made by the president. It remains premature for anyone to speculate about these plans before the president announces his decision."
Cabbage did not know the exact details of the studies, he said.
The future of the Marshall-managed, space shuttle replacement Ares rocket program has been in question since a White House appointed review panel -- the Augustine Commission -- made suggestions to President Obama that paths other than the Ares launch vehicles should be open to NASA.
The president and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden met last month to discuss NASA's future, but no decision has been made -- or released -- concerning future or present NASA programs.
The space agency has spent $3.5 billion and five years developing the rockets.
Meanwhile, over at NASAWatch.com, space agency critic Keith Cowing is ringing the death bell for Ares: "Ares 1 is dead, folks. DEAD. So is the use of Orion in LEO for trips to the ISS. Use of Orion to destinations in cis-lunar space? That is still open. Ares V as currently designed is dead but there will be a heavy launch vehicle - the debate is between an inline shuttle-derived launch vehicle for crew and cargo and a sidemount shuttle-derived launch vehicle."

We got all excited when the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G was announced for Australia, not just because of the fast speeds, but also because of the fact that it will ship with Android 4.1.1, also known as Jelly Bean. This morning, a vulnerability was discovered in Samsung's TouchWiz UI that factory resets the phone sans-confirmation. Samsung says it was fixed in the Android 4.0.4 release, so why is it working on this 4.1.1 handset?
Here's how it works:
A USSD code, or Unstructured Supplementary Service Data code, is used by carriers to trigger commands on your phone. If you've ever recharged with prepaid phone credit or gone and found your IMEI number via your phone app, you've used USSD.
This particular code isn't anything out of the ordinary, either. The problem is that when you type it in to trigger a factory reset, the device is meant to stop before it executes the command and ask if you're sure. That's what's missing here — confirmation. That means that anyone can show their friends a "cool trick" or social engineering can be deployed to lure people into resetting their phones.
Samsung says that the issue was fixed in Android 4.0.4 — a maintenance release for Ice Cream Sandwich. This handset that we did it on is running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, so why is it working?
We've reached out to Samsung for comment, but until then, don't on any codes you aren't sure of.

Pope Benedict XVI delivers a personal final farewell to thousands of people on Wednesday and alludes to the Church's troubles, saying at times it felt like "God was sleeping".
Please wait while this video loads. If it doesn't load after a few seconds you may need to have Adobe Flash installed.
Speaking to an estimated 150,000 people in his final weekly address at St Peter's Basilica, he recalled moments of "joy and light" during his eight-year papacy, but also reflected on difficult times for the Church.
"I have had moments of joy and light, but also moments that haven't been easy ... moments of turbulent seas and rough winds, as has occurred in the history of the church when it seemed like the Lord was sleeping".
To love the church means also to have the courage to take difficult and anguished choices - Pope Benedict XVI
Under his papacy, Benedict has been hit by a widespread scandal over the abuse of children by Catholic priests. Recently he had to deal with the 'Vati-leaks' scandal, in which his butler was convicted of leaking Vatican documents that revealed details of clandestine power struggles within the Church's hierarchy.
Please wait while this video loads. If it doesn't load after a few seconds you may need to have Adobe Flash installed.
'Strength of mind'
Benedict appeared to bask in the emotional send-off, taking a long tour of the square in his 'pope-mobile', the bullet-proof sides of the car opened so he could kiss and bless several babies.
Explaining why he had decided to resign, thus become the first Pope to do so in 600 years, he said he did not have the "strength of mind or body" to continue in the position.
"I took this step in the full knowledge of its gravity and rarity but with a profound serenity of spirit," he said. "To love the church means also to have the courage to take difficult and anguished choices, always having in mind the good of the church and not oneself."
The Vatican has said that Benedict, who be flown by helicopter to the papal summer residence south of Rome on Thursday night when the papacy becomes vacant, will assume the title of "pope emeritus" and be addressed as "your holiness".
He will lay aside the red "shoes of the fisherman" that have been part of his papal attire and wear brown loafers given to him by shoemakers during a trip to Leon, Mexico last year. He will wear a "simple white cassock", Lombardi said.

His lead seal and his ring of office, known as the "ring of the fisherman", will be destroyed according to Church rules, just as if he had died. Benedict will move into a convent in the Vatican in April, after it has been restored.
On Friday, cardinals in Rome will begin meetings known as "general congregations" to prepare for the secret conclave that will elect a new pope.
The Vatican appears to be aiming to have a new pope elected by mid-March and installed before Palm Sunday on March 24 so he can preside at Holy Week services leading to Easter.
Cardinals have begun informal consultations by phone and email in the past two weeks since Benedict said he was quitting.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Don and the boys are back with another serving of Rock. This time around the only two original members left are Don and Mick Brown. Now on board is guitarist Jon Levin and bassist extraordinaire Barry Sparks. "The Last Goodbye" is a Hard Rock number that is loud, but it's a bit laid back and has a bit of an Alternative feel. It's nothing like they have done in the past. It's a more mature direction for the band.
The highlight here is not only Mick's unique brand of drumming, but Jon Levin's guitar work. He works the fret boards like no other and his solo on here shows that the man can play. After that so so piece, we get into the Rock realm full tilt with "Don't Bring Me Down" Mick bashes the skins like only he can and he even does a little double bass action like the days of old. The track has a hell of a lot more fuel than the opener which could be considered a throw away track. Don's voice is in vintage form and the fans are all winners here as we get the DOKKEN of the past. Jon once again shines with his tremendous finger skills.
Don and company move from the 80's style of composition to the mid 90's era of the band with "Escape". It's not as memorable as the past, but the track mixes Alternative with Hard Rock which is still heavy, but not quite the same. It has the feel of the "Dysfunctional" album. This an ok track. "Haunted" is more modern in terms of sound is much heavier than their previous work. The guitars especially contain a lot of bite. DOKKEN has always been one to write a decent ballad and "Care For You" is no exception. After the ups and downs between Rock and Alternative, we arrive at a beautiful ballad that is nowhere as cheesy as the ballads from the past. This one is more mature sounding including piano. This is a true stand out track. Once again, the guys for the Nu-Rock sound with "Better Off Before".'
The guitar riffs here have the vibe of SOIL. It's not bad, but you can tell that the band is trying to keep up with the times and do what the flavour of the month is. It's a decent track, but not original. In the end, we are left with an album that contains half decent tracks and half throw-aways. The band has forever moved into another direction that I am not quite sure people are going to want to continue to embark on. If you ask me, time to toss in the towel. (Online November 22, 2004)

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP — Though Memorial Day has long since passed, until this week a cascade of red, white and blue lights has dazzled passersby at the Masonic Home of New Jersey, at the corner of Jacksonville and Oxmead roads.
The lights decorated a towering tree as an enduring gesture to those who died and continue to serve in all of the nation's wars, but they won't be switched on again until Veterans Day in November. Staff members at the Acacia Hospice kept the lights lit through the end of July as a way to create a lasting season of patriotism, one that wasn't extinguished with the starting gun for beach and barbecue season.
"If people would start lighting trees in red, white and blue through those months, I think it would be dynamic," said hospice administrator Joe Franken. "It'll just start to inspire."
The lights will glow again the day before, the day of and the day after Veterans Day.
The idea for a lengthy season of patriotic lights was conceived two years ago. Franken's initial plan was to have the lights on from dawn to dusk, but a timer glitch led him to keep them on 24 hours a day.
"This worked better for us," he said, adding that at night or early in the morning, the lights pierce the darkness.
Each light represents a veteran or current service member. For $5, people can buy a light in honor or in memory of someone. This year, the tree's honor roll had more than 500 names, but Franken hopes that number will grow.
Acacia Hospice has achieved the highest level with the "We Honor Veterans" program, a partnership between the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that excellent end-of-life care is provided to veterans and their families.
"They're veterans. We owe them a lot," Franken said.
The staff is educated on post-traumatic stress disorder and often help relieve some of the burdens of veterans who have kept their experiences and feelings of resentment bottled up, he said.
The Sept. 27 car show that benefits the hospice's work with veterans will kick off the 2015 campaign.

NFL writer David White, who is leaving sports journalism for full-time ministry, recently wrote, "Thou shalt absolutely not say your team won because it was God's plan. What does the Lord have against the other team?" Should Christian athletes avoid attributing their wins to God? Does it risk gloating or pride or making the other team seem like they're not on God's side?
I don't think it risks anything to say that that something was God's plan. At the end of the day, everything is God's plan and he cares about what we do. He cares about our hearts, how we play the game, and how we treat people. He's definitely involved with how we handle sports and not just the outcome of it. I'm proud when athletes mention God in any way. When they have an opportunity to mention God, I applaud them for doing it and having the courage to do so. I can understand the writer's point as well, though.
As the NFL owners and players struggle over contracts, is there a Christian perspective on the lockout?
This lockout is about a lot more than just money. Yes, the biggest thing about this lockout is money, but there's a lot of other things that are being measured and being negotiated. I will not be heavily involved, because there are other things that I'm going to continue to work on during this time. I learned a long time ago not to worry about things that I can't control, so I'm not going to spend time worrying about it.
The ad you did for the 2010 Super Bowl created a stir initially but turned out to be more neutral politically. Are broadly pro-family messages more effective than specific stances on abortion?
That message was just about my mother's love for me and about her giving me a chance and her having the courage to do what she believed was right. That commercial wasn't knocking anyone. It was just talking about the sanctity of life and how amazing life is.
You have appeared in some Jockey ads recently. Are there any specific products you would decline to advertise because of your personal beliefs?
The main things I look for are whether I believe in it, it fits my character, and it fits what I do. But the products I'm behind are ones that I believe work. I use it and also believe in the people behind it. I believe in their integrity. There are some great products, but if it's not something I truly believe in because I'm not using it every day then I'm not going to endorse it.
Do you have any regrets or anything looking back on the path you have taken?
I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason and that God has a plan. There may be times where I want to take back something in a game, but I learn from it to improve.
During your college career, some reporters asked you whether you were a virgin or not. Is the climate in the NFL better or worse? Do you face similar questions?
I guess you will. But I think most people just know who I am and where I stand, and they respect me for that because I stand up for what I believe in. I don't think that there's been too much adversity or anything that's been hard to deal with.
You shifted from putting Bible verses on your eye black to putting them on your wristband due to NFL rules. Will you continue to do that?
Now I can't put it on a wristband, so who knows? Maybe I'll try to find a different way to put it on somewhere.
Maybe your shoe?
I'll figure it out.

Freelance food writer Michael C. Zusman (related only in vocation to WW Editor in Chief Mark Zusman) has been cut as a freelance food writer for the Oregonian after five years, according to an email sent out by Zusman today.
Zusman says the news came from O's A&E Editor DeAnn Welker via email, and follows on from an incident two weeks ago in which: "DeAnn told me that if I did not pump up an ambivalent review I had submitted, she was going to kill the review. I told her that would be dishonest and a disservice to readers, and could not do so. She killed the review."
Writes Zusman:
"A few years ago, we had a super team of restaurant writers/reviewers at the Oregonian with Roger Porter, Christina Melander, Karen and me anchoring the coverage. We nailed most of the breaking news, wrote insightful (if not always flattering) reviews, and provided abundant original, thoughtful reporting about Portland's restaurant world. Now all of us are gone."
UPDATE 11/14: Welker's has provided a response to Zusman's claims:
"The Oregonian's reasons for no longer needing Michael Zusman's freelance services have nothing to do with a recent review that we chose not to publish.
Earlier this year, The Oregonian hired a full-time restaurant reporter and critic, Michael Russell. With him fully on board—in addition to staff contributions from Grant Butler and David Sarasohn, the senior restaurant critic in the Portland area—we no longer have much need for freelance reviews."

Two ridings in play in Cumberland County
Tight races are expected in both Cumberland North and Cumberland South.
Today is election day in Nova Scotia.
AMHERST – A month's worth of hard campaigning will come down to today when voters in Cumberland County, like others in Nova Scotia, will cast ballots on who they want to be their next MLAs.
In Cumberland County, roughly 25,000 people are eligible to cast ballots in two ridings that were changed last year during redistribution that saw a portion of Cumberland North near Amherst moved into Cumberland South.
Both ridings are expected to see close races this time.
Brian Skabar hopes to retain Cumberland North for the New Democrats. Skabar became the first ever NDP MLA after the 2009 election, taking 40 per cent of the vote to claim the seat.
Terry Farrell wants to become the first Liberal to take the seat since Ross Bragg won in 1993 over Ernie Fage, while Judi Giroux wants to reclaim the seat for the Progressive Conservatives.
In 2009, the Conservative vote was split between Independent Fage, the longtime MLA and cabinet minister in the John Hamm and Rodney MacDonald governments, and Tory candidate Keith Hunter.
Jason Blanch of the Green Party entered the race two weeks into the campaign.
Over in Cumberland South, there's a rematch of the 2010 byelection, when Tory leader Jamie Baillie defeated Kenny John Jackson of the Liberals after Conservative MLA Murray Scott retired from politics to open a seat for Baillie.
Since then, Jackson has been actively campaigning in preparation for this election.

For family and friends who paid their respects to five children and their stepfather who died May 24 in a fire, letting go was a matter of small, impossible steps.
Hundreds of visitors at Victorious Believers Ministries wept as they filed past six caskets at the beginning of Thursday's all-day memorial to 33-year-old Samuel D. Watkins; Adam M. Dupuis, 13; Majesty H.M. Price, 8; Destiny A.R.A. Price, 5; Essence G.P. Price, 3; and Chad C. Skinner, who celebrated his first birthday one day before he died in what authorities have deemed a cooking fire at 1003 S. Michigan on Saginaw's West Side.
Ministers, friends and other speakers paid tribute to the wife and mother of the family, Tanesha L. Watkins, the lone survivor of the fire.
"Is she courageous, church?" Saginaw Mayor Pro Tem Wilmer Jones Ham McZee asked to cheers from the congregation. "Is she a victorious woman, church?"
During a choir anthem, Watkins and the childrens' fathers said their good-byes, placing flowers in each casket before pallbearers closed the lids. Zenos Dupuis is the father of Adam; Poitiea Price is the father of Majesty, Destiny and Essence; and Calvin Skinner is the father of Chad. The fathers hugged Tanesha and each other as the congregation rose to its feet.
Poitiea Price thanked his three daughters for "raising" him.
"I was a hoodlum before they came into my life," he said. "To know them was to know love unconditional."
He tearfully recalled a hospital visit when Destiny pushed through the crowd of well-wishers and said, "I just needed to hug my daddy."
Zenos Dupuis described Adam as his "best friend."
"He was so much older than 13," Dupuis said. "Adam was one of many people that didn't give up on me.
"I just hope he knew that I loved him," Dupuis said, his voice breaking.
Caskets closed, Bishop Marvin C. Pryor compared the tragic fire to the biblical story of Job, who lost his family and home only to grow in his faith.
"This didn't happen because somebody sinned," Pryor said. "I know that my redeemer liveth ... even though the bottom has fallen out and you've got the worst-case scenario. God is still God."
At the burial in Roselawn Memorial Gardens, a scuffle broke out among two or three relatives as an honor guard folded flags to honor Samuel Watkins, a U.S. Army veteran. It is unclear why the fight started when a guard gave a folded flag to Tanesha Watkins; family members restrained and separated the quarreling mourners as other visitors shouted in protest.
"This is a funeral," one said. "We have to be unified."
"In the name of Jesus, flee, Satan," another ordered.
Amidst the disturbance, a guard quickly knelt to give a second folded flag to Samuel Watkins' surviving son, 11-year-old Samuel Middleton, who sobbed quietly. Tanesha Watkins stared, expressionless, at the six caskets as the argument quieted. A tearful Zenos Dupuis placed a hand on his son's casket, not letting go until a front loader lowered it into a vault.
Over the next hour, crews moved all six caskets into a single space in the ground.
After the burial, all the children at the cemetery released blue and white balloons Adam Dupuis' classmates at the Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy filled with helium and signed earlier in the day.
"We love you," read one that floated past a willow tree.

LESLIE, MI – Main Street will be alive with colorful lights, holiday music and hundreds of people Saturday, as the community gathers for the 14th annual Leslie Lighted Christmas Parade.
The procession begins at 7 p.m. and is sponsored by the Leslie Area Chamber of Commerce.
"This is a fantastic event; we're really looking forward to it," Chamber President Ted Urban said. "It brings the community downtown. It helps our merchants get exposed a little bit and it's a fun time for people."
The parade begins in the Valu Land grocery store parking lot, 810 W. Bellevue St., heads south on Bellevue Street and turns south onto Main Street. It will feature about 30 lighted entries, according to Chamber Board Trustee Bruce Crockett, one of the event organizers.
"Each entry has to have a Christmas theme and be lit up," Crockett explained.
Crockett said this year's parade will include the brightly lit CATA-pillar bus, Granger's Captain Curby entry, an Independent Bank float, a five-car train featuring Frosty the Snowman from Shawhaven Farms in Mason, and a flying reindeer entry from the city of Leslie.
In addition, there will be entries from local churches, businesses and schools. The Leslie High School marching band will provide holiday music. And, of course, Santa Claus will be a key cog in the parade.
Prior to the parade, at 6:30 p.m., members of the Leslie High School chorale will sing Christmas carols at nearby Tuttle Park. The city's official Christmas tree in Tuttle Park will be lit by Leslie Mayor Pete Zamora at 6:45 p.m.
Other related events in Leslie this Saturday include:
- From 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the Leslie Outreach will collect toys for low-income area families with its "Stuff the Bus" effort in the Valu Land parking lot. Donors are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys or monetary donations;
- From 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Leslie High School Bowling teams will hold a bake sale fundraiser at Independent Bank at 144 S. Main St. The bank will also offer free hot chocolate;
- From 6 to 7 p.m., disc jockey Steve Harper will play holiday music downtown.

main difference between ethics and other disciplines
other disciplines state the cause and consequence of problems and describe human behavior. does not address what people ought to do just what they do.
moral dilemma
every available option is morally undesirable and decision can not be avoided or postponed (lie to save a life?)
4 parts of moral point of view
-to subscribe to normative judgements about actions, principals & motives
-to universalize judgements concerning morally relevant similar situations
-to formulate ethical views in a free impartial and enlightened way
-Syndersis Rule: to promote the good and avoid the evil
Diversity thesis
moral practices and beliefs are non-universal and vary from culture to culture and different times
PROBLEM: doesn't distinguish diversity in particulate moral practices (Holocaust example)
Dependency thesis
moral beliefs are completely dependent on cultural conditions PROBLEM: to believe in this, we are too influenced culturally. If this is so, then this thesis is also caused by and influenced by our culture.
moral language simply expresses and perhaps arouses emotion, so that nothing we say in moral terms is either true or false about anything. Vent our feelings.
regard our own morality as superior and our own rational approach as best. Probelem with this is that even a christian will expose moral failure of their own people.
hedonic paradox
pursuit of pleasure for its own sake often results not in pleasure but frustration and istraction
ethical egoism
the right thing to do is to look out for my own interest. we are morally required to make ourselves as happy as possible "ought to do what is in my own interest"
Hedonic calculus
a method of working out the sum total of pleasure by an act, and thus the total value of its consequence. Which act has best tendency
categorical imperative
unconditional. it commands us independently of our desire or utilitarian concerns. We simply ought to treat people as and ends in themselves not just a means.
distinction between Bentham and Mill
Bentham proposed hedonic. calc. (everyone seeks their own pleasure). Mill rejected this and believed its not just a consequential matter but appeals the dignity.

Your authors will periodically try and use statistics to reinforce an argument. We are nerds.
With a similar "collapse" on hand, much has been made about the New York Mets catastrophe (lost six of last seven games) in September 2007 that caused them to lose the division. However, if a win in September is worth just as much as win in April - then can a collapse simply be a team averaging out on the year?
In 2007, lost in the late-season losses was the fact that the Mets played below .500 baseball from June through September and finished the month with a record of 14-14 comparable to August (15-13) and an upgrade over July (12-14) and June (12-15).
The anomalies in the Mets 2007 season might not be the late season losses but the team's strong performance in April and May when they were a combined 15 games over .500. The losses at the end were reflective of their record over the last chunk of the season.
The beauty of baseball is that that numbers will average out. With the number of games and length of a season, a team will play up to it's capability over the course of a summer.
This year's Mets season is basically 2007 in reverse. Rather than starting off hot, they were below .500 after the first three months of the season (combined 38-42) and went on a two-month tear in July and August (combined 36-19) and are now once again struggling in September (currently 8-6), losing four of their last five.
The numbers are going to balance themselves out and if it's not enough for the Mets to make the playoffs, then once again, there will be a perception of "collapse." But maybe they're just a .500 team who gets lucky a couple times during the season. If they don't make the playoffs, they should be as distraught about their lackluster play in the first half of the year as they will be about the next two weeks.

Rotary Goes Hollywood was the theme for this year's Rotary Conference for District 5190, held at John Ascuaga's Nugget, in Sparks, Nevada, from May 15 through 18. The annual speech contest featured 13 speakers from each area of the district, all of whom were required to win at both the club and area levels. The topic was, "Engage Rotary, Change Lives: Living a Life of Service Above Self."
Competing with the 12 other speakers, Amador High senior Carisa Swason won the contest and received $1,000 for first place. Swanson represented Area 7, which includes the following Rotary Clubs: Amador Upcountry, Jackson, Ione and Plymouth-Foothills. This year, the sponsoring club for Area 7 was Amador Upcountry. Two years ago, Swason's sister, Cecily Swason, of Amador High, won the contest, and four years ago it was Caitlin Schaap, another Amador High graduate, who took first place. All three girls were drama students at Amador High.

TRENTON — A federal judge has ordered Clifton-based Butterfly Bakery and its president, Brenda Isaac, to shut down for illegally distributing food such as muffins and snack cakes with inaccurate labels, federal authorities said today.
Laboratory tests over several years showed foods labeled as "sugar free" contained sugar, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a news release. Tests found products contained as much as three times the amount of sugar as indicated on the label, two times the amount of fat and two times the amount of saturated fat.
U.S. District Judge Dennis Cavanaugh signed a consent decree between the FDA and the bakery March 5. Under the decree, the bakery can only reopen once it complies with federal law, and the FDA may assess damages against the company for future violations. The bakery's website said its products are sold in supermarkets and specialty stores across the country.
A warning letter to the company sent in 2011 also said some products failed to declare all major food allergens, such as milk, in certain products. In a news release issued that year, the company said it had improved its labeling, re-tested products in question and implemented "double testing" to make sure nutritional information was correct.
"We apologize to our customers for the labeling error," the company said in the release. "Their satisfaction is our primary concern."
A woman who answered the phone at the bakery referred comment to Isaac, but said she was unavailable. She did not immediately return a message for comment.

In a game between two 5A playoff-bound teams, Hahnville fought back from a 2-1 deficit to top Grace King 3-2 Friday night in the final regular season game for both clubs. The Tigers closed out the regular season winning their last six ball games.
"It's huge going into the playoffs," said Hahnville senior pitcher Todd Porche. "It''ll move us up in the power rankings and hopefully we will get home field advantage, because we love playing at home."
The Tigers (23-10) attempted to strike first in the opening frame, but Grace King starter Joseph Kuchler struck out Matt Fontenot with a pair of runners in scoring position, stopping Hahnville in its tracks. Kuchler helped himself in the bottom half of the inning, roping a double down the left field line. The next batter, Cody Cross, brought Kuchler home with a double of his own to put Grace King ahead 1-0 after the first inning.
Kuchler used that momentum to keep Hahnville in check over the next two innings with some stellar pitching. The senior right-hander retired the side in order in both the second and third innings to help preserve the Fighting Irish's 1-0 lead.
"Kuchler pitched tremendous," said Grace King Coach Bobby Ledoux. "That's what we have been getting out of him for two years now."
Despite getting the loss, Kuchler went the distance for Grace King (21-9) finishing with eight strike outs while only walking three.
Hahnville found the right opportunity to get back in the ball game when the heart of the lineup came up to bat in the top of the 4th inning. Brock Harrell led off the inning with a single, followed by a double by Porche. Two batters later, Dylan Keller brought Harrell home with a double to tie things up at one.
"I asked them to play with the intensity that we are going to have to play with in the playoffs, and I thought we really did," said Hahnville Coach David Baudry.
The Fighting Irish, would respond in the bottom of the fifth as lead-off hitter Connor Caminita belted a solo home run over the right field wall putting Grace King ahead 2-1 after five innings.
The experienced Tigers didn't panic as they fought back in a big way, the following inning. Fontenot reached on a hit-by-pitch and was replaced by pinch runner, Peyton Robert. Two batters later, pinch hitter Logan Billingsley walked putting two men on for Mark Abate who delivered for the Tigers. The junior third baseman slapped a single into the outfield scoring both Robert and Billingsley, giving Hahnville the 3-2 advantage.
"I kind of knew what I had to do coming into the at bat," said Abate, who finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs. "Coming into it, I knew that I had to be confident and I knew that I could get the hit."
The momentum carried into the next inning for the Tigers as Porche, who was nursing a broken toe, struck out the side.
"Actually the coach was about to take me out before the 6th inning," said Porche. "He said you have one more inning, so I tried my best to throw strikes and I came out with three strikeouts."
Porche pitched six innings, striking out seven and only walking one batter. At the plate he went 2-for-4 with a single and a double.
The strikeouts hurt Grace King, but Kuchler responded in a big way, keeping his team well within striking distance by picking up three consecutive strikeouts himself, the following inning. The Irish had one last chance get back in the game, but they came up short as Hahnville held on for the 3-2 win.
Both teams will now have to wait until Sunday to find out when and where they will be playing their first round playoff game.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Two bodies have been found on a houseboat in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and authorities are investigating the deaths as suspicious.
The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/1geE0sq ) members of a sheriff's river patrol came upon the apparently abandoned boat Monday afternoon in the northwest side of the deep water channel of the Sacramento River.
After getting no response the Contra Costa County deputies boarded the boat and found the bodies of two men.
The deputies called Solano authorities because the boat was on the Solano County side of the river.
The bodies were sent to the coroner's office, which has yet to identify them or conduct an autopsy.

We have a new favorite food and it's not what you think. Well, ok, it is what you think, given that the title and photo in this post have given it away. Lately, I haven't been able to make it through the Whole Foods checkout line without sneaking a package of those Justin's white chocolate almond butter cups – have you had them? (This is not a sponsored post, btw).
So I thought – how hard would it be to make them at home? First we tried to make a vegan version w/ cacao butter – total fail. (points for trying though?). We ended up going the (much easier) route using organic white chocolate.
I got the idea to stir matcha – my green foodie food coloring of choice – into half of the melted white chocolate. I can't put into words how amazing the combo of matcha + almond butter is. Just know that these had to be taken away from me.

The third-seeded Connecticut Huskies (26-9) will go as far in the West Region as star guard Kemba Walker can take them after winning five games in five days at the Big East Conference tournament last week en route to the championship. Despite having five days off, fatigue could be a bit of a factor for the Huskies (-10) when they meet the 14th-seeded Bucknell Bison (25-8) on Thursday in second-round action of the NCAA tournament at Tucson's McKale Center.
UConn became the first team ever to win five games in five days over the course of a college basketball conference tournament as the Big East's #9 seed, topping #3 Louisville 69-66 in the championship game last Saturday. Now the question is, does this team have enough left in the tank to carry that success over to the Big Dance?
The Huskies covered the spread in all five games of the Big East tournament, winning the last three as underdogs against #1 Pittsburgh (+5.5) in the quarterfinals last Thursday, #4 Syracuse (+4) in the semifinals last Friday and then the Cardinals (+3) in the title game. They had lost four of their last five games both straight-up and against the spread to finish the regular season, making their seeding somewhat controversial.
Walker set a conference tournament record with 130 points in the five games and played 190 of a possible 205 minutes. He also averaged 40 minutes in the last seven regular-season games, with the UNDER going 5-1-1 in those games. The last time an MVP from the Big East tournament willed his team to the championship like that came in 2006, when Syracuse guard Gerry McNamara led his team to four wins in four days. The Orange flamed out in the first round of the NCAA tournament that year in a similar scenario, with Texas A&M pulling off a 66-58 upset.
Frank Jordans One Week All-Access Pass
Special Discounted Rate for 7 straight days of Football both pro and college and Baseball as we head towards the playoffs during your week -- Frank is locked and loaded for a monster week. For a limited time only you can have a week for only $79. Great way to test the waters before you purchase a monthly or yearly package! There is no one hotter in the nation right now! You will receive anywhere between 20-30 selections throughout an average week. If you like action, you'll love Frank Jordan.
Whether or not Bucknell can duplicate that feat remains to be seen, but the best way to stop UConn is to simply hope Walker has an off game shooting. The Bison won the Patriot League's regular-season and tournament championships and bring a 10-game winning streak into the NCAA tournament. They are back in the Big Dance for the first time since 2006, when they shocked Arkansas 59-55 in the first round as 5-point underdogs before losing 72-56 to Memphis.
Bucknell will be looking to control the tempo with its motion offense, something the Huskies could have trouble with due to unfamiliarity. The Bison have also not allowed an opponent to score 70 points in their last 10 games, including their last three that all went UNDER the total.

Julie Lynn Gaudet, 34, of Charlottetown has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault
© Guardian photo
Const. Markham Long of Charlottetown Police Services escorts 34-year-old Julie Lynn Gaudet into provincial court in this Guardian file photo.
The case of a 34-year-old Charlottetown woman charged with aggravated assault in connection with a recent stabbing incident on Palmers Lane has been adjourned to April 15 for trial.
Julie Lynn Gaudet has entered a not guilty plea to that charge through her defence counsel.
Gaudet is also charged with breaching a probation order by violating the most basic condition of probation, that she keep the peace and be of good behaviour.
No plea has been entered on that charge. That charge will be spoken to when the case returns to court for trial.
Gaudet will remain in custody at the provincial correctional centre. At a recent show cause hearing a justice of the peace ordered that she be detained in custody until dealt with by law.
Police reports issued at the time of the incident indicate the accused and the victim of the stabbing, a 34-year-old man, were known to each other.
Police said the two apparently became embroiled in an argument that escalated to the point of violence.
The injured male was treated for his wound and later released.
Gaudet is no stranger to the court.
In June of last year she was sentenced to 60 days in jail for an assault on another woman at the Southport Hotel and a further 60 days in jail, to be served concurrently, for forcible entry.
Crown attorney Jeff MacDonald told the court at that time that Gaudet had a lengthy, related and violent criminal record.

Many local fire departments will open their doors this weekend as part of Recruit NY, now in its third year. The statewide initiative is designed to attract new volunteers.
Four Chautauqua County fire departments participated in the program last year, and fire officials were hoping for more participation this time around. They got their wish as departments continued to add their names to the list.
"We have a lot more interested this year," said Dan Imfeld, county deputy fire coordinator. "We're trying to make a difference in the county, and we're trying to make people aware. This is certainly one way to do it."
As of Wednesday, 31 local fire departments were participating in the effort by holding open houses with activities and volunteers to whom interested people can speak.
"We are trying to do this in a more organized way this year. The county Emergency Services Office has promoted this among the fire departments," Imfeld said.
The following fire departments will have an open house on Saturday: Bemus Point, Brocton, Cassadaga, Celoron, Chautauqua, Cherry Creek, Dewittville, East Dunkirk, Fluvanna, Gerry, Hanover, Irving, Kennedy, Lily Dale, Maple Springs, Mayville, Ripley, Sheridan, Silver Creek, Sinclairville, Stanley Hose Company, Sunset Bay and West Dunkirk.
Open houses will be held Sunday at Busti, Falconer and Forestville fire departments.

"The departments are all in the same boat," Imfeld said. "Because of the economy, young folks go away to school and don't come back. ... Traditionally families were involved in the fire department. Grandparents, parents and then their children used to volunteer. We are trying to reach out to others. There is a spot for everyone."
Information about local departments and the times they listed for recruitment can be found at www.recruitny.org, which is sponsored by the Firemen's Association of New York.
Imfeld also encouraged those with questions to call the Chautauqua County Office of Emergency Services at 753-4341.
