Hooks' Cosart victorious in return
Astros prospect stymies RoughRiders for five innings
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | April 22, 2012 2:55 PM ET
"To me, it's the most frustrating injury to deal with," said Cosart, who missed two starts because of the latest epidermis-related ailment. "The training staff seems to think it's because I'm a high-velocity guy and [therefore] get a lot of friction on the seams -- I throw a spike curveball with my thumb on the seam when it breaks off. It also feels like 100 percent humidity out here. All that doesn't help."
What does help: Dipping his digits into a rice bucket, then rubbing on dry-grip balm. Entering his comeback outing Sunday, these methods worked wonders.
Houston's No. 2 prospect completed five scoreless innings following a 17-day layoff in the Double-A Hooks' 5-3 win over the visiting Frisco RoughRiders.
Cosart (1-0) scattered four hits, struck out four and recorded six outs on the ground. He threw 51 of his 74 pitches for strikes and would have continued in sixth inning -- his pitch count was about 85 -- if not for the Hooks' four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth.
"I was just happy to be out there," he said. "Most [meaningful] was that I was able to make it through five with the finger staying closed."
Cosart yielded consecutive singles to Chris McGuinness and Alex Buchholz to start the second inning, but rebounded with a groundball double play.
"I located my fastball down and away and he rolled it over the shortstop," Cosart explained. "My catcher, Chris Wallace, and I had a plan -- they swung early a lot the last couple games -- and we were on the same page the whole game. I give my batterymate the credit.
"The four hits never left the ground. They were legitimate hits, but they never left the ground."
The third, Jose Felix's single in the third, preceded Cosart striking out four batters -- including Texas' No. 1 and 3 prospects Jurickson Profar and Mike Olt -- over a five-batter span. The 21-year-old right-hander said his curveball, sharp from the second frame forward, was integral to that success.
"I know those guys. I played against Profar in the Futures Game, and I have read about Olt and have teammates who played with him in the [Arizona] Fall League. I know they're great hitters, but as a pitcher, you can never give a hitter too much credit," Cosart said. "With hitters like that, you have to get ahead. I was able to do that: fastball, curveball, fastball to 'Prof' and two breaking balls and a fastball away to Olt."
Cosart yielded one more base knock, to Ryan Strausbourger in the fifth, but left the game unmarred.
Cosart held Northwest Arkansas scoreless for 4 1/3 innings on Opening Day, April 5, but walked three batters.
"I'm really happy with the no walks today," he said. "I was a little sporadic with the control in my first start."
A 38th-round Phillies draftee in 2008 before Philadelphia sent him and three others to Houston in the July 2011 trade involving All-Star outfielder Hunter Pence, Cosart compiled a 4.17 ERA in seven starts at Corpus Christi, his first in the Astros organization.
With his dexterity now undeterred, what does Cosart have planned for 2012?
"We want to make the playoffs. They're has been a knock on the Astros about having a weak Minor League system, but we have a good club," he said. "The No. 1 goal is to stay healthy, then pitch in the big leagues down the road."
Following Cosart's exit, Olt and Profar broke out against reliever Adalberto Flores in the eighth. Profar doubled and scored on Olt's two-run homer, his fourth of the season.
RoughRiders starter Justin Grimm (3-1) allowed five runs on nine hits over 4 1/3 frames. Grimm had given up just one run on seven hits over his first three starts.

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
It's a figure that has yet to be measured, but even Nicola Kennedy would like to know how fast her feet really do move.
Kennedy performs the lead role in "Rhythm of the Dance," which will make a stop Tuesday at Comcast Arena on its current tour.
Kennedy's feet and those of the other dancers in "Rhythm of the Dance" fly at a mesmerizing pace throughout this two-part show, which includes a gifted cast of dancers, musicians and three Irish tenors. They all produce a revamped choreography along with pulsating Irish music that makes the audience feel like they are on the Emerald Isle.
Images from Ireland are projected on a screen during the performance, adding to the audience's virtual journey.
"After shows people from the audience come up and say, 'We feel we have just been to Ireland,' and that's what we really want to hear," Kennedy said in a phone interview.
Each three-minute dance tells a story and there are a variety of stories told throughout the "Rhythm of the Dance." Kennedy said the first part of the show is geared to the more serious stories and the second half of the show is more fun stories with upbeat dances.
Some audience favorites include a brush dance where the dancers use brooms as props. Then there's the dance with just Kennedy dancing to the beat of a drum with no other music.
Another favorite is an a cappella number with nine boy dancers, starting off really slow, then picking up the pace and getting faster and faster until their feet are moving so fast that the audience is just screaming its approval.
"That one always goes down well," Kennedy said. "People like a bit of a cappella."
There's also a swing number that Kennedy said the audience enjoys so much they clap along.
"It's a bubbly dance," she said, adding that the audience "will like everything in different ways."
"Rhythm of the Dance" includes top-notch musicians playing drum, fiddle, accordion, flute, harp, guitar and a version of the Irish bagpipes.
"The live musicians are fantastic and the singers, the three Irish tenors, have amazing voices and do well together," Kennedy said.
The singers do renditions of "Danny Boy," "The Blarney Rose" and "Carrickfergus."
The dancers are at the pinnacle of their careers, dancing with such precision and grace and discipline that the audience often remarks that they "make it look easy."
Kennedy's response to that is that it's taken her years of training and rehearsing, so much so that the untold number of steps she's had to memorize for each dance just come naturally to her when she's on stage.
"I think I will remember the steps the rest of my life," Kennedy said. "They have been drummed into me, so now I don't even think of my steps, my feet just do it, so I'm concentrating on performing."
Performing means making that connection with the audience while she's on stage, using her expressions and eyes to include as many people as she can.
Kennedy said her responsibility as lead performer is mainly to make sure that every night, every audience gets the same performance.
"It's always being at your best because obviously I'm in the spotlight," Kennedy said.
Kennedy, who just turned 27, has been dancing since she was 4. She's from Belfast and was a member of the Maura McGowan school of Irish Dance. She joined "Rhythm of the Dance" in 2005 and has toured throughout America, Canada, Asia, Australia and Europe.
Kennedy recently became a qualified Irish Dancing Teacher and wants one day t open her own dancing school, according to her biography.
For now, she loves her time with "Rhythm of the Dance."
"I'm living the dream," she said.
"Rhythm of the Dance" begins at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Comcast Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett.
Tickets are $19, $29 and $39. Call 866-332-8499 or go to www.comcastarenaeverett.com/.

Threading the canyon
USC Lancaster professor, artist leaves mark in New Mexico desert
By Craig Brandhorst, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3681
This summer, University of South Carolina Lancaster art and art history professor Fran Gardner completed a three-week artist-in-residence program at Chaco Canyon National Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northwest New Mexico visited by 40,000 people annually. The residency, which Gardner calls "one of the most important artistic experiences of (her) life," was funded by a creative and performing arts grant from USC's Office of the Provost and by her home campus. The park provided lodging in exchange for a piece of artwork, which will go on permanent display at the park's visitor center.
"The intention from the very beginning was to complete the piece at the park and to leave it," Gardner said. "I guess my one regret would be that I didn't get to live with the piece as long as I would have liked. When I left it I felt a little sense of loss, but I was very pleased that everyone at the park was so excited about the work."
Gardner had visited Chaco Canyon briefly several years ago while working on another project. She was drawn back by the rugged desert landscape and its sharp contrast to the lusher, more familiar terrain of the Palmetto State.
"There is just a drastic difference between the landscape here and the landscape there," Gardner said. "I'm not a landscape artist by any means, but the influence of the landscape comes into my work pretty heavily—its color; its organic forms, shapes, lines."
Gardner was equally inspired by the pre-Columbian ruins of Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon's largest Great House, built by the Ancient Pueblo people between the 9th and 13th centuries.
"You get some very definite shapes in the doorways and windows, but where the walls are crumbling you get some beautiful organic shapes, too," she said. "The compositions are there. All you have to do is decide which part you want to focus on."
To beat the heat, Gardner departed early each morning for the Pueblo Bonito ruins, where she drew and painted details of the architecture onto heavy watercolor paper. Upon returning to a makeshift studio at the visitor center, she sewed colorful threads directly into the paper. Ultimately, large swaths of the images are heavily sewn, though the stitching is not immediately evident.
"I'm an artist, not necessarily a stitchery artist," Gardner said. "I applaud the form, and I love the form—I embrace it, or else I wouldn't do it—but do I want that to be my label? Not necessarily, no."
Once completed, the images were mounted onto 30 6-by-6 inch collaged wooden boxes then arranged into a horizontal mosaic to complement the view of the canyon wall as seen through the visitor center window. The finished piece is a series of subtly textured images that are paradoxically figurative yet abstract, soft yet substantial—the semi-permanence of stone translated into fabric.
"The thread is so delicate, so ephemeral," she explained. "It doesn't last a thousand years. It's going to go away—it's going to fray, it's going to decay over time—but the more you sew, the more substantial it becomes. And when you layer and layer and layer you get something pretty doggone tough. While it still isn't going to last forever, there's something in that concept that appeals to me."

LONG BEACH - James H. McJunkin left a 3,200-acre legacy, said his son Joseph McJunkin.
"That big port over there - that's his legacy," he said, pointing toward the Port of Long Beach from the foyer of St. Cornelius Catholic Church on Friday following his father's memorial service.
Jim, as he was affectionately known, served as the Port of Long Beach's general manager from 1977 to 1988. He died Jan. 2 at age 82.
McJunkin first joined the Port in 1963 in the Operations Division. His first assignment was to rewrite the port tariff, which provides the rates, rules and regulations governing the port.
He was later promoted to assistant general manager before becoming the port's top executive.
Under McJunkin's leadership, the port became one of the largest in the world and the nation's second-busiest container port. He oversaw the development of the World Trade Center complex, and is credited with helping spearhead some of the most significant trade-related projects in the region.
"Jim was a very understated guy, but one of the most effective people I've ever worked with," said Robert Langslet, former president of the port's Board of Commissioners who worked closely with McJunkin. "He had a knack for being able to handle all kinds of problems and solve them. He was a great problem solver and someone I admired very much."
As general manager, McJunkin saw Long Beach cargo traffic nearly double from 32 million metric revenue tons to more than 60 million metric revenue tons.
"My father was a very plain- spoken, down-to-earth, honorable man," his son said. "He would wear jeans and suspenders every day - you would never know what he did for a living."
After retiring from the Port in 1988, McJunkin worked many years as a consultant to the maritime industry.
"I will remember the way he took care of everybody, within our neighborhood and the business community," his son said. "He just found a way to take care of people without letting them know he was taking care of them. He was a very humble man."
McJunkin is survived by his wife, Mary, and his four children, Sarah, Martha, James and Joseph McJunkin.

Opening Ceremony Fall 2012 Collection
Check Out Opening Ceremony's Fresh Fall 2012 Collection
For Opening Ceremony's Fall 2012 collection, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim created a cozy collection inspired by the natural wonders of Patagonia. With a focus on textures and prints inspired by the great outdoors, the duo created a sporty luxe collection comprised of printed trousers, puffer coats, lace-inset sweatshirts, and body-con fleece dresses. Tempering the casual aesthetic were refined touches via leather trim, Mongolian fur, and metallic finishes. Meanwhile, the brand's accessory offerings ranged from round red sunglasses to chunky lace-up boots and chic printed loafers. The collection is definitely a slightly more mature take compared to their past collections, but nonetheless true to Humberto and Carol's whimsical cool style. Check out our top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the complete collection.
- We love this leather and tweed moto jacket. It's equal parts polish and tough girl, and perfect for pairing with cropped trousers and pleated midi skirts.
- A dressy sweatshirt might come off as an oxymoron, but we can't resist this lace and fleece sweatshirt.
- Car coats are a huge Fall trend. This rendition gives the trend a modern spin thanks to the bright cobalt leather trim.

I am setting up the auto-responder program Office Auto Pilot to integrate with WordPress, and want to select a gateway to go along with it. They say they integrate with any of the following: AuthnetEwayPaypalUsaEpayNMIElavonPayFlowProQBMSPayLeapPayjunctionWebsitepaymentspro 2CheckOutI'm looking for pros and cons, and ultimately a recommendation. I'll appreciate comments.
I can certainly recommend eWAY, although it's based in Australia, so unless the client is also based there, I'd say go for one in their own country. Why? Well, maybe it doesn't matter. But I prefer to go local if possible. It's easier to call them, etc.
i recommend you to go with 2checkout. its good and has a prepaid card where it upload all the money so that can get your money from any atm machine near you.
I would recommend Paypal and Payjunction. Paypal offers wider flexibility, nevertheless both of the services are legit and are not involved in any of the scams. Paypal and Payjunction are listed in Visa's site under PCI complaint services.
It's sometimes hard too, but often harder not to use paypal.
When your talking about who handles your money, reputation, stability reliability count for a lot. And beyond the crazy fee's and horror stories, they've delivered great value for millions of merchants with very low barriers to entry.
my favorite combination: Plimus & PayPal , nice, fast ,smooth, easy to implement...
NMI would be my first choice, followed by eprocessing network (EPN). Both are cheap compared to authnet, payflo, or most others. They offer recurring billing, customer storage vaults and just about any other feature you would want. These would require a merchant account to use the payment gateway. 2CheckOut and Paypal are 3rd party processors and not payment gateways. I would also absolutely accept Paypal as an alternative payment method. It's so widely expected for online purchases that it is almost essential as a second payment option.
Full disclosure, we private label NMI and work with or resell EPN, Payflo, authnet and about 10 others regularly. We use NMI for our own merchant account, and I would continue to use them based on their price, features, and support regardless of any other factor.
Thanks for the recommendation, Ralph.m! We now have offices in New Zealand and the UK as well, but not in the USA as yet.
However, we can offer some advice. You may wish to go with a payment gateway rather than a master merchant so as the funds go directly to your bank rather than being held by a third party. Also, when choosing a gateway, you should be looking for commitment to security, uptime and customer service.
We hope it goes well!
I've been using 2checkout for the past 6 years. Works great.
PayPal and 2Checkout would the perfect option for you to accept the payments.
There are few out there in the market. I use securepay and eway

Greeneville, Tenn. - The Brevard College softball team bounced back to stave off elimination as the six-seed Tornados topped seven-seed Wingate University on Friday morning at Chuckey-Doak High School, winning 1-0 in the second round of the 2012 Food Lion SAC Softball Championships.
Brevard, which lost their first round game yesterday to three-seed Anderson University on a walk-off double, pushed a run across in the bottom of the third against the Bulldogs, giving Kayla Clemens all the support she needed as the Second Team All-SAC pitcher threw a one-hitter against Wingate in recording her fourth shutout of the season.
Brevard snapped a scoreless game between Clemens and Wingate's Miranda Paul in the bottom of the third inning, plating the only run in the game. Emily Boykin led off the inning with a double to left centerfield and Brittany Jones reached on a one-out fielder's choice to put two runners on for Brevard. All-SAC First Teamer Brittany Fowler followed with an infield single, loading the bases. Paul almost escaped the jam, retiring the next BC hitter on strikes, but Chelsi Mallory coaxed a walk to bring home the first run in the contest.
The Tornados threatened to add to their lead in the fifth inning as Fowler drilled a two-out double in the left center gap and Brittany Tucker and Mallory reached base on a single and walk to load the bases, but Brevard was unable to plate an insurance run in the contest.
Clemens however, did not need the insurance, retiring the final 13 batters of the game after allowing a double to Kelsey Maffuci in the third inning. The Brevard sophomore went the distance, improving to 15-15 in the complete game, striking out three.
Brevard returns to Red Edmonds Field this afternoon in Greeneville, Tenn. as the Tornados take on #5 Tusculum. First pitch between Brevard and the Pioneers is set for 3:30 p.m.

broken arrow
Have any of you ever had an arrow break when fired? I got a friend into hunting this year, He and I went out the other day and I set up in a tree next to his just to watch. A doe came in and when he shot at it his arrow snapped in 1/2 about 3 inches in front of the vanes. I know that they are the correct spine. He is shooting 55 lb at 28 inches and using gold tip trophy hunters 400 spine. The only thing I can think of is that it was a new arrow, never shot before and maybe it had a flaw. I don't know if he bent it before shooting it" like the shaft tells you to" . I was just so sad for him, his first shot at a deer and all he got was a big mark up his bow arm. All of his other arrows have been fired at least once now and all others are fine. he and I paper tuned his bow this year and were able to get bullet holes with ease so I don't think he has a problem there. I just don't want to see him get hurt. he got very lucky that the back part of the arrow just scraped his arm as opposed to puncturing . Any advice is helpful, thanks.

I have been bowhunting and competitive shooting for over 35 years and I have never seen what you describe. I have seen nocks break, and arrows shatter on impact, but never snap off like that. I think your hypothesis is as good as any, that the arrow was defective. I hope your friend didn't get too discouraged. If he has shot the other arrows without incident I don't believe he has anything to fear, nor is it likely something he did wrong. That's why it's called hunting and not killing.

Thanks for the response. I just wanted to hear someone else say that they think he is safe to continue hunting and shooting with those arrows. I don't think he was too discouraged, just happy that some one was there to confirm that he did not just miss and blame it on an arrow. I have no dough that he will continue hunting. I have told him since he started talking about hunting that shooting a target and hunting are two different things and that in the woods things just seem to go wrong. I could not believe it when I saw it, At first I thought his nock broke because the arrow all but fell off the end of his bow, but when we got down we found the arrow in two pieces. It was a clean break too.

West, Texas • Buck Uptmor didn't have to go to West Fertilizer Co. when the fire started. He wasn't a firefighter like his brother and cousin, who raced toward the plant. But a ranch of horses next to the flames needed to be moved to safety.
"He went to help a friend," said Joyce Marek, Uptmor's aunt. "And then it blew."
Two days after the fertilizer facility exploded in a blinding fireball, authorities announced Friday that they had recovered 14 bodies, confirming for the first time an exact number of people killed. Grieving relatives filed into a church offering comfort for families, as volunteers nearby handed out food to those still unable to return to homes damaged by the massive blast.
Ten of the dead were first-responders including five from the West Volunteer Fire Department and four emergency medics, West Mayor Tommy Muska said.
The dead included Uptmor and Joey Pustejovsky, the city secretary who doubled as a member of the West Volunteer Fire Department. A captain of the Dallas Fire Department who was off-duty at the time but responded to the fire to help also died.
The explosion was strong enough to register as a small earthquake and could be heard for many miles across the Texas prairie. It demolished nearly everything for several blocks around the plant. More than 200 people were hurt, and Muska said five first-responders were among those who remained hospitalized Friday.
The first-responders "knew it was dangerous. They knew that thing could go up at any time," said Ronnie Sykora, who was Pustejovsky's deacon at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church. "But they also knew that if they could extinguish that fire before it went up, that they could save tens of lives, hundreds of lives. That's why they were in there."
Following a tour of the rubble Friday, Gov. Rick Perry told reporters the search-and-rescue phase for anyone still trapped was largely finished. He said the state would offer help to the 29-member local fire department that had been "basically wiped out."
"To the first-responders: I cannot say thank you enough," Perry said.
Hours later, President Barack Obama issued an emergency declaration and pledged federal disaster relief aid to help West recover. After addressing Friday night's arrest of the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect, the president extended his prayers and sympathies to everyone affected by the plant explosion and said he'd spoken to Perry and Muska and vowed that the community would get the resources it needs to rebuild.
"Our thoughts, our prayers are with the people of West, Texas, where so many good people lost their lives, some lost their homes, many were injured, many are still missing," Obama said.
Earlier Friday, Edward Smith, a volunteer chaplain for the Dallas Police Department, counseled firefighters at West's fire station.
"Right now, the general public might be saying, 'Well, why aren't they talking about this?'" Smith said of the firefighters. "They don't necessarily even want to talk about it. They're holding out hope."
In a town of just 2,800 people, everyone here knew someone affected by the explosion.
Officials offered reassurances Friday about the 60 or so people listed as unaccounted for after the blast. McLennan County Judge Scott Felton said many people on the list probably lost their homes and have simply been difficult to locate since the Wednesday evening accident.
"I think we're going to eliminate 99 percent" of those listed, he said.
The fertilizer facility stores and distributes anhydrous ammonia, a fertilizer that can be injected into soil. It also mixes other fertilizers.
Plant owner Donald Adair released a statement saying he never would forget the "selfless sacrifice of first-responders who died trying to protect all of us."
One of the plant employees also was killed responding to the fire, Adair said.
Federal investigators and the state fire marshal's office began inspecting the blast site Friday to collect evidence that may point to a cause.
Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Friday evening that investigators still were combing through debris and would continue Saturday.
Residents cannot return to their homes until investigators are finished, Perot said. She did not have a timetable on when that might be.
"We're moving as fast as we can," Perot said. "We don't want them working at night because things can be missed."
Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, who toured the town Friday, said they would wait for more information about the explosion before considering whether there should be more regulation of anhydrous ammonia.
The accident forever changed the community's landscape. An apartment complex was badly shattered, a school set ablaze and a nursing home left in ruins. At West Intermediate School, which was close to the blast site, all the building's windows were blown out, as well as the cafeteria.
Marek was teaching a high school youth group when the blast shook the room. The lights went out, and a student's phone lit up with a text message that there was an explosion at the fertilizer plant. He told Marek his brother's truck had been picked up and hurled into his family's house.
Marek spent the next couple of hours wondering if she knew anyone who might be at the plant. Then Uptmor's wife called.
"She said, 'Have you heard from Buck? She told me they had called him up there, and she couldn't get a hold of him," Marek said.
They spent the next few hours frantically searching for the father of three, who coached baseball, played drums in a band and whose phone always was ringing with people seeking help. Sometimes it was a truck stuck in a ditch or a house that flooded or a neighbor who needed a hand moving furniture.
Every time, Marek said, Uptmor would go.
"Why did they have to call him? He was safe at home with his family," Marek said. "But you know, if he hadn't gone, he wouldn't have been Buck."
Obama declares emergency after Texas plant blast
Washington • President Barack Obama has issued an emergency declaration and pledged disaster relief aid to Texas to help in the recovery efforts following this week's deadly fertilizer plant explosion near Waco.
Obama's order Friday night authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts in the town of West. Wednesday's explosion at the West Fertilizer plant killed at least 14 people, injured more than 200 others and demolished buildings for blocks around.
After addressing the arrest of the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect Friday night, the president extended his sympathies to the community of West and everyone else affected by the explosion.
Obama said he's spoken with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and West's mayor, and he pledged that the community will have the resources it needs to rebuild.

Boeing gives grant to USC's STEM education program
By Kathryn McPhail
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curriculum soon will improve for some middle school students in the Charleston area, thanks to a grant from The Boeing Company to the University of South Carolina's College of Engineering and Computing (CEC).
The $100,000 grant will allow the CEC to expand its Project Lead the Way (PLTW) program into College Park Middle School, West Ashley Middle School, Alston Middle School and St. George Middle School.
PLTW is the leading provider of innovative STEM education curriculum used in middle and high schools across the United States. Currently, USC supports 98 PLTW high schools and 79 middle schools. High school students in the program can earn college credit for engineering courses taken in high school. Nearly 200 teachers attend the workshops each summer at USC to learn the best way to teach the engineering and technology curriculum.
"We want to increase the number of PLTW programs in middle schools in hopes we reach students at a younger age, " said Donn Griffith, PLTW affiliate director. "The Boeing Company's generous grant will allow us to reach more students. The ultimate goal is that more students will pursue STEM careers which will benefit economic development throughout the state."
The grant money will be used to purchase lab supplies, computers and equipment needed to deliver the PLTW courses.
"This gift shows Boeing's strong commitment to our state and communities," said Tony Ambler, dean of the College of Engineering and Computing. "Their support will enhance education for students, and hopefully, spark a love of math, science, engineering and technology in our next generation."
The students will take courses in design and modeling, automation and robotics, and flight and space. Teachers from the four middle schools will attend the PLTW learning workshops this summer at no cost, thanks to the agreement.
"Science, technology, engineering and mathematics education is a high priority for The Boeing Company," said Jack Jones, vice president and general manager of Boeing South Carolina. "In a global economy, our children deserve access to high quality education and opportunities to develop skills that will enable them to realize their dreams. The USC College of Engineering and Computing's Project Lead the Way program gives greater STEM access to students across South Carolina, and it's a program that Boeing is proud to support."

STUNNING: 7 pt lead for Mitt as he gets debate bounce
"Never before in the history of the Gallup polls has anyone lost with a 51-45 pt lead at this point in the campaign. Now it's a 52-45 lead." Karl Rove
Damn, Dick Morris was right. Mitt would win by a land slide after winning the undecideds. Also see Christian thread where
Billy Graham is getting the Christian votes out.
Mitt is pulling away from OBY with a couple of weeks left.
He continues to get the debates bounce and pads his lead to 7 points according to Gallup and they polled likely voters.
Mitt even says he's convinced the undecideds have swayed to him while OBY acknowledges mistakes were made in Libya.
Yea, wait til the next debate when its only on foreign policy. Mitt will crucify him even more on Libya. It is effecting this election
as country knows he lied saying it was a mob attack after
a video was made.
Also see the RCP thread when Mitt has pulled ahead in Penn by 4 points. PA hasn't voted for gop since 1988.
OBY also blows 11 pt lead in OHio where's it tied in a dead heat.
Other swing states like Iowa, Nevada and Colorado are tied where OBY led before the debates.

Re: STUNNING: 7 pt lead for Mitt as he gets debate bounce
Speaking of Dick, Greta had him on and said this lead is just for the general election and doesn't include the electoral
college. Dick said yea, but as the lead builds here it will also change in the electoral vote. We've seen leads change in
Penn and blown leads in Ohio, Wisc and others.
OBY had a 14 pt lead in some polls before the debates but he ran a vicious campaign and Romney didn't even fight
back. Now the country is really seeing him for the first time tearing OBY up in the first debate and continuing in the
second debate and the undecideds are making up their minds for him.
They see Mitt isn't pointing an ak-47 at women, he's not killing animals. He's not the
monster OBY made him out to be. He does relate to the middle class. They now realize
OBY had to lie and smear Mitt because he has no record to talk about.
When the same thing happened to Hillary when Bill Clinton ran he advised Bill to do nothing.
It will self destruct and Bill won big, just as Mitt has done nothing to answer that smear
vs him and now it's paying off.
OBY ran a smear campaign with lies and people are tired of it so we are seeing a change in the electoral map.
Greta then had a DEM strategist on who agreed Mitt killed him in the first debate and the second was basically a tie
but Mitt continues to get the bounce. Mitt will have to blow the third debate for this momentum to change.
Speaking of swing states, check out these stats:
Meanwhile, Check out this Gallup chart.
Mitt's at 52%.

Re: STUNNING: 7 pt lead for Mitt as he gets debate bounce
Whoa!!! I'm stunned and rocked!!!
Re: STUNNING: 7 pt lead for Mitt as he gets debate bounce
Romney is getting the suburban vote except in Ohio which is now tied.
This also helps explain why Romney still narrowly trails in Ohio polls. Affluent suburban counties cast about one-quarter of the votes in Pennsylvania and Michigan but only one-eighth in Ohio.
Actually, it's now tied in Ohio 48-48 where OBY lost a 14-pt lead.

15 Top-Secret Celebrity Weddings
This morning, we told you that actress Carey Mulligan ("An Education," "Shame") married Marcus Mumford, of the band Mumford & Sons, in a super-secret ceremony this past weekend. The twosome had only been dating for about five months when they got engaged — not that they ever officially confirmed their plans to wed. (Something else I didn't know until today — the two were childhood pen pals! Is that not the cutest?) So it's no surprise that their wedding, held in a barn on a working farm (would you expect anything else from one of the Mumford boys, I mean really?), was kept completely hush-hush. We assume that's why we weren't invited anyway. [Huffington Post]
Carey isn't the only celeb who's gotten hitched in secret. We've rounded up a slew of other hush-hush celebrity marriages to which we also weren't invited.

Two days earlier than planned and due to the fact that I did not have sufficient time to reach Constanza before dark, I park my car at Rancho Wendy near Bonao. Frank and Elias, who run the place since Rancho Wendys founder and Eco adventure promoter Marshall Zipper passed away last year, are welcoming me.
Rancho Wendy, named after Marshalls daughter, caters to travelers on a budget. With beds starting from $ 9 US before taxes, it is a great deal for young people who do not mind roughing it a bit. The hotel offers decent beds, beautiful rough on the edge surroundings; free Wi-Fi Internet access, a small pool and a pool table. Some of the large dormitory rooms have an air conditioner, a small television and even a DVD player, which you can use for checking out a DVD from the extensive movie library located in the communal dining room. The smaller more private rooms have to do without most of the above. Here exhaustion, a ventilator, a bottle of anti mosquito lotion and perhaps a beer or two are the best change a solo traveler, like me, has to make it happily through the night.
Warm water is not available; so I rough it, realize once again that my hard-core backpacking days are behind me and urge myself to keep this fact in mind before passing unreasonably harsh judgment on the bare bone facilities with fancy touches.
Up until here I can stay positive, even the smell from the shower drain I can handle, after all I am out in the boonies and the amount of money guests pay does not allow for major investments in plumbing, paintjobs or elaborate decorations.
I am less inclined to be flexible when it comes to details that do not cost a penny and can be achieved by hard work and maintaining a positive focus.
The overall atmosphere definitely seems depressed and I cannot escape the feeling that much of the positive energy that many others have experienced at Rancho Wendys (I did my research) has diminished. The fact that I am only one of two guests in a huge place most suitable for group travel does not help either. Maybe I arrived at a bad day. Bottom line is that I expect to be energized when I arrive at the place with the ambitious slogan Rancho Wendy: Your Adventure in the Caribbean. I get the impression that the people at Rancho Wendy are wrecking their brains on how to get the potentially wonderful and fun facility back into shape.
My largest disappointment and the thing that is easiest to fix, is the quality of the food, which is just not good enough. I paid $3 US for breakfast and $5 US for dinner. Money that would be better spend on a loaf of bread and some cheese. After a day full of adventure and excitement I need food, not just a pork chop and some dry yucca. No! Dont get me wrong! I do not need a de-luxe restaurant style meal but I do expect some yummy, healthy food with a salad or some fruit. This cannot be too hard in the country where, according to my friend Anja: every seed that hits the soil, turns into a flower or a tree.
While visiting Rancho Wendy, you might want to partake in one of the excursions on offer. I highly recommend the excellent and very affordable hiking experience to the Carco Bonito waterfall ($ 10 - 20 USD depending route). Other hiking excursions include The Pico Duarte Package, a five day hike to the highest mountain in the Caribbean ($ 299 USD), an up river hike that guaranteed gets you wet and keeps you refreshed ($ 20 USD) and River Kayaking ($ 15- 20 USD). Horse riding can be arranged. You can read about my Rancho Wendys excursion elsewhere on this site.
It is time to sit down and write about my experience or what it could have been. I imagine myself being part of a fun group who just hiked to the waterfall and played in the chilly, crystal clear and pure water. At night we will light up a bonfire in the large garden and listen to the crickets and each others stories. Thankfully one of us brought the insect repellant and we have great cook amidst ourselves who does not mind to help out in the kitchen. We eat, we drink, we laugh and sing. We decide right here and now that we definitely will come back!
With outstanding alternatives just 50 km away, swift action needs to be taken by Rancho Wendys management to maintain its appeal to adventure travelers. All the elements for a good time are available, like they have always been.

Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas could not say enough good things Monday night about the joint effort between his officers and the sheriff's department when it comes to eliminatng drugs from the city streets.
Douglas told the city commission that federal indictments had been handed down following a major cocaine bust that had a street value of over $1.5 million.
Because the cases involving the seven individuals will go through the federal courts, any guilty verdicts will most likely carry with them prison sentences-including life.

Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2013
For Erin Fetherston, Pre-Fall dressing means making the most of the balmy days at the end of Summer. In her latest offering, a recent trip to Los Roques — a group of islands off the coast of Venezuela — informed the tropical color palette and the use of pattern. For example, one multicolored print depicting a stylized ecosystem of people, trees, homes, and butterflies got cut into a sleeveless shirt and a dress.
Of course, shoppers can always expect fun dresses from Fetherston, and this offering doesn't disappoint on that front. A sparkly, strapless pink-and-gold pleated number was eye-catching and fun, but some of the other evening pieces (one combined a black bodice with a gold-spangled skirt covered by a layer of organza) were a little more grown-up. The few separates, like a pair of slim trousers and a sleeveless black peplum top, preserved that sense of polish.

The kidneys, the frequently forgotten but life-sustaining organs, remove waste from the bloodstream and regulate fluids in the body. If the kidneys are not able to do their job, the result could be life threatening for your cat.
What is kidney disease?
Kidneys are very important because they remove waste substances from the blood, and maintain the normal balance of fluid and minerals within the body. Any condition which damages the kidneys is referred to as kidney disease.
In some cases, cats may show early warning signs of disease. However, signs of serious illness only appear 75% of the kidneys' function has already been lost. This is the reason why early detection is so important, especially for cats age 7 or older. A simple blood test and urinalysis are all that is required to detect the disease.
What causes kidney disease?
The kidneys can be damaged by a wide range of conditions including injury, infection, toxins and cancer. This damage is usually irreversible. Kidney disease is common in cats, but with early diagnosis and treatment, progression can be limited and many cats go on to live happily for years after diagnosis. Factors that can make cats more prone to kidney disease include the following:
Age: The chance of developing kidney problems in cats increases after the age of 7.
Food: Some cat foods high in phosphorus and cat foods with increased levels of protein can increase the progression of kidney disease.
Breed: Some breeds, such as Persians, are more likely to develop particular types of kidney disease.
Environment: Some chemicals, including certain disinfectants, antifreeze, lead paint and some human medications can damage the kidneys.
Does my cat have kidney disease?
The signs of kidney disease can be difficult to recognize because they are similar to those of other disorders like diabetes and hyperthyroidism. If you notice any of the following, it could mean your cat has a kidney problem. If you notice any of the following signs in your cat, contact your veterinarian for a complete examination.
- Loss of appetite
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination or no urination
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Poor coat appearance
- Depression
- Weight loss
- Bad breath
- Sore mouth
- Weakness
- Lack of energy and increased sleeping
IMPORTANT: Early stages of kidney disease will show no signs or symptoms. An increase in thirst is the first sign of kidney failure — if you notice this, or any of the above signs, consult your veterinarian immediately.
If your cat is diagnosed with kidney disease, your veterinarian may describe it as either acute or chronic.
Acute Kidney Disease: Acute, or sudden, kidney disorders can be caused by:
- Blood loss
- Shock
- Surgical stress
- Trauma
- Severe dehydration
- Poisons
- Drugs
- Obstructed urine flow
- Infection
Chronic, or long-term, kidney disease can result from the above factors, plus breed and hereditary tendencies, in coordination with nutritional factors and immune system defects.
Unfortunately, the signs of kidney disease usually do not appear until 75% of kidney function has been lost. Once chronic kidney failure develops, it cannot be reversed.
IMPORTANT: Early stages of kidney disease will show no signs or symptoms. An increase in thirst may be the first sign of kidney failure — if you notice this, or any of the above signs, consult your veterinarian immediately.
The importance of nutrition
The food your cat eats plays an important role in her overall health and well-being. If your cat is diagnosed with kidney or renal disease, modifying her food can help manage the disease by reducing the amounts of protein and phosphorus in her food. Phosphorus restriction seems especially important in lessening the severity of the clinical signs and progression of kidney damage. Reducing protein levels may also help restore normal acid-base levels. The appropriate therapeutic food plays a crucial role in reducing build-up of waste products normally removed by kidneys and slowing or reversing damage to the kidneys.
Balanced nutrition is an essential part of an active, healthy lifestyle. If your cat has kidney problems, the right nutrition can positively impact your cat's quality of life. For accurate diagnosis and treatment options, always consult your veterinarian and ask them to recommend the best food for your cat's kidney health.
Ask Your Veterinarian About Kidney Disease:
- Are there any foods I should avoid giving my cat because of her condition?
- Ask how human food may affect your cat's health.
- Would you recommend a Hill's® Prescription Diet® cat food for my cat's kidney health?
- Ask about special nutritional concerns for your cat
- How much / how often you should feed the recommended food to your cat
- Discuss which treats you can feed your cat with the recommended food
- How quickly should I expect to see signs of improvement in my cat's condition?
- C,an you provide me with written instructions or a booklet on kidney disease for my cat?
- What is the best way (email/phone) to reach you or your hospital if I have questions?
- Ask if you need a follow-up appointment.
- Ask if a reminder email or notice will be sent.

So I have been surfing on a Kechele formula 4 the last few months. Took the board to Kauai, Ireland, and Rincon.
In Kauai, the board was ****ing unstable as ****. Met up with a pro, she said to not ride the board so heavy front footed. I did that, and that seemed to work for a few hours (4 -5 foot waves in Hanalei).
The next day, I head to beach break in Tunnels. THe same **** again. Wasn't riding the board as heavy, the board was just freaking unstable (8-9 foot beach break). I swapped the fins out , for some smaller fins in the back. This worked a bit, but again,unstable off the lip.
Go to ireland, run into Carissa Moore. She puts me on these K2.1 fins, and that seems to work, but now the board doesn't have as much drive .
What is the optimum quad setup that people use? Or should Quad just be used as east coast board only?

May 16, 2004 – Day 8 Review
The championship final featured the surprising Kindersley Klippers up against the experienced Aurora Tigers. After upsetting the host Grande Prairie Storm 4-3 one night earlier, the Kindersley players had less than 20 hours of rest before they had to face off against the well-rested Tigers, who dumped the Nepean Raiders 7-2 during semifinal Saturday's afternoon game. "We're playing on TSN," said Kindersley's Casey Lee, who scored the game-winning goal against the Storm with 35.5 seconds left in the game. "That's the No. 1 think in all of our heads." With a sold-out crowd and a national audience tuned in to watch the game, the Aurora Tigers scored two goals in a span of 1:06 to jump out to an early lead. Francis Walker one-timed in a perfect pass from Sean Scully at 8:19 of the first before defenceman Mike Kostka beat Kindersley goalie Kevin Dziaduck with a long wrist shot 66 seconds later. The Tigers then went up 3-0 when Jesse Olden batted in a rebound at 12:38 of the opening frame. The Klippers hit the scoresheet with 4:17 left in the period when Jason Fleck snuck a bad angle shot past Aurora netminder Chris Whitley with traffic in front of the net. But the Tigers regained their three-goal cushion when Scully banked a shot in off of a Kindersley defenceman at the 19:00 minute mark of the first. In the second, the Klippers tried to switch the momentum by replacing Dziaduck in net with Nathan Deobald. But the Tigers kept pressing and increased their lead to 7-1 on a pair of second period power-play goals by Andrew Hotham and Walker and an even-strength marker off the stick of Michael Tonelli. After the teams battled to a scoreless final frame, the Tigers jumped onto the ice to celebrate their 7-1 victory. They wound up outshooting the Klippers 57-22 in the game. With the win, the Tigers became the first-ever team from the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League to win the RBC Royal Bank Cup. The last time an Ontario-based team won the national title was when the Thunder Bay Flyers of the United States Hockey League captured the title in 1992 when it was known as the Centennial Cup.
May 15, 2004 – Day 7 Review
The first semifinal contest of the day pitted the second place Tigers against the third place Raiders, who were out looking for redemption after a 3-1 preliminary round loss to Aurora two days earlier. Aurora started off quickly as Tigers forward Matt Bahen pounced on a loose puck in the slot and backhanded it past Nepean goalie Mitch O'Keefe. The Raiders tied the score at 12:37 of the first on the power-play when Emmond Bell wristed a perfect shot into the top corner over the outstretched glove of Aurora goalie Chris Whitley, who was screened on the play. The Tigers regained their one-goal advantage with 3:16 left to play in the opening frame when Francis Walker scored on a nifty backhanded wrap-around effort past O'Keefe. Aurora added to their lead at 2:51 of the second stanza when defenceman Derek Joslin scored on a point shot, which prompted Raiders coach Chris Byrne to pull O'Keefe from the net in favour of Ian Dams. Nepean refused to quit and battled back to within one goal when Raiders captain Brennan Sarazin scored his fourth goal of the tournament at 11:59 of the middle frame. But Aurora kept pressing and proceeded to build up a 5-2 lead before the intermission on goals by Walker, his second of the game and fifth of the tournament, and Jamie Minchella. The Tigers then put the game away with two more goals in the third off the sticks of Sean Scully, his fifth of the tournament, and Joel Kitchen, his third, to make the final score 7-2. Aurora now moves on to meet the Kindersley Klippers in the RBC Royal Bank Cup championship game on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. (MT).
Game #12 - Semi-Final
In the late game, the upstart Kindersley Klippers took on the hometown favourite Grande Prairie Storm. The Klippers were coming into the contest with high hopes after their 4-2 upset victory over the Nanaimo Clippers two nights earlier, primarily thanks to a 53-save performance by Kindersley netminder and tournament MVP Kevin Dziaduck. It didn't take long for the hosts to get on the board as Stephan Knowles placed a perfect shot over Dziaduck's shoulder and under the crossbar 1:44 into the game on a Grande Prairie power-play. Less than four minutes later, the Storm went up 2-0 when Mark Szott tipped a point shot by Kyle Radke past Dziaduck. With the Storm looking to go up by three on another man advantage, Kindersley's Curtis Bazylinski intercepted a clearing attempt by goalie Jonathan Cayer and deposited it into the gaping net past the diving netminder. Troy Schwab of the Klippers then silenced the partisan home crowd (and ignited the section of Kindersley fans) when he one-timed a pass from Chris O'Connor past Cayer on a Kindersley power-play to tie the score at 2-2 with 1:22 left in the opening period. In the second, Grande Prairie regained the lead when Szott scored his second of the game on a Storm power-play 3:06 into the period. The hosts held the lead until the 3:22 mark of the third period, when Kindersley's Jason Fleck found himself open in the slot and converted a feed from Casey Lee to tie the game at 3-3. The visiting Klippers then pulled off their second straight upset as Lee tipped in a pass from Jesse Fischer past Cayer with 35.5 seconds left in the final frame. Dziaduck made 32 saves in the 4-3 Kindersley victory. The Klippers now move on to face the Aurora Tigers in the RBC Royal Bank Cup championship game on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. (MT).
May 13, 2004 – Day 6 Review
This game did not have any impact on the semi-finals other than which team had the final change as the home team. Neither team wanted to show all their tricks as these two teams meet again on Saturday at 2pm in the first of two semi-finals. Joel Kitchen opened the scoring for Aurora at 12:25 of the first period to give the Tigers the lead. Andrew Hotham added to that lead when he scored at the half way mark of the second period. Nepean continued to battle as they were having a tough time solving Tigers goalie, Chris Whitley. Scott Cowie finally got the Nepean Raiders on the board when his solo effort paid off on the power-play, and brought them to within one. But that was all they were able to do as Whitley shut the door after that. Aurora added an empty netter to take the game 3-1. Nepean will get a chance to avenge the loss Saturday when they meet again in the semi-finals. Aurora finishes the round robin with a 3-1 record, good enough for 2nd place. Nepean finishes with an even 2-2 record, and finishes in 3rd.
Game #10 West (Kindersley) 4 vs. Pacific (Nanaimo) 2
In a Clippers vs. Klippers match-up, this game was to decide which team would play Grande Prairie in the semi-finals on Saturday, and which team would go home. Kindersley had not yet won a game in the tournament, but only needed this win to advance. Nanaimo was throwing everything they had at the Kindersley net, but Kevin Dziaduck was up to the challenge. Jason Fleck opened the scoring for the Klippers five minutes into the first period. The big Green machine added to their lead when Curtis Bazylinski scored a power-play goal to make it 2-0. Despite being out shot 20-5 in the first period, Nanaimo trailed 2-0. Kindersley scored their third goal 1:44 into the second period to go up 3-0. Jason Fleck scored his second goal of the game on the power-play to give the Klippers a commanding 4-0 lead. Nanaimo did not go away, as they finally slipped a puck past Dziaduck with two and a half minutes left in the second period to pull to within three. Nanaimo out shot Kindersley 15-7 in the second for a total of 35-12 after two periods. The third period was Nanaimo's last chance, and they fired everything they had at the Kindersley netminder. Nanaimo's Brennen Francon scored to bring his team to within two at 9:28 of the third. But it was not enough, even though Nanaimo out shot Kindersley 53-20, they lost 4-2. Nanaimo goes home with a 1-3 record, while Kindersley finishes with a 1-3 record – but claims 4th spot because of the head-to-head tie breaker. They now face Grande Prairie Saturday, May 15th at 7:30pm.
May 12, 2004 – Day 5 Review
Kindersley was desperately searching for their first victory of the tournament. But it was Aurora who played with the type of vigor that made it look like they were the ones in need of the win. The Tigers scored two special teams goals in the first period. Alex Lalonde opened the scoring with a short handed goal, and Francis Walker scored his third goal of the tournament on the power-play to give the Tigers a 2-0 at the end of one. The second period was dominated by the Tigers as Kinderlsey continued to take penalties. Aurora added two more power-play goals in the second period to take a commanding 4-0 lead. The Tigers added one more power-play goal in the third to win 5-0. The shots on net were fairly equal as Aurora edged out Kindersley 43-39, but Kindersley was unable to solve Chris Whitley as he records his first shut-out of the tournament. Aurora is now 2-1 and is tied with Nepean for second spot and have clinched a spot in the semi-finals. Kindersley is now 0-3 and will face Nanaimo tomorrow in a game were the winner will advance to the semi-finals.
Game #8 - Pacific (Nanaimo) 7 vs. Host (Grande Prairie) 2
This was without a doubt the most anticipated game of the round robin portion of the tournament. The re-match between the two Doyle Cup Finalists (AJHL Champions vs. BCHL Champions) was the hottest ticket in town as the home town crowd was anxious to avenge a 4-1 series loss to Nanaimo in the Doyle Cup. Nanaimo had their best period of the tournament going two for two on the power-play and carrying a 3-0 lead into the middle frame. Craig Gaudet, Brandon Laidlaw and Tyson Mullock each scored for the Clippers. The second period was scoreless until the half way mark when the Clippers' Brandon Kushniruk deflected one home on a shot from the point by Ryan Burns to increase their lead to 4-0. The Grande Prairie Storm pulled starting goalie Jonathon Cayer in favour of recently acquired Brett Jaeger. Brandon Kushniruk scored his second goal of the period on a screened shot from the top of the circle with just over a minute left in the period to go ahead 5-0. Nanaimo kept their foot on the gas pedal, and Blair Lefevre scored a power-play goal just 50 seconds into the third. Grande Prairie finally broke the goose egg when Jason Jubb lite the lamp at 4:10. The Storm added a power-play goal of their own when Josh Welters walked in and sniped one high over the shoulder of the Clippers goalie. Nanaimo responded with a short handed goal on a Brett Jaeger miscue to put them up 7-2. Grande Prairie suffers their first loss of the tournament, but will finish in first place with a record of 3-1. Nanaimo won their first game, but it doesn't guarantee them anything as they play a do or die game vs. Kindersley tomorrow.
May 11, 2004 – Day 4 Review
This was a battle of the unbeatens, as both Grande Prairie and Nepean had identical 2-0 records. Grande Prairie continued to thrive off the 3,000 home crowd. The first period was all Storm, out shooting the Raiders 16-2 and outscoring them 3-0. Goal scorers for Grande Prairie were Jean Bourbeau, Ryan Chrenek, and Mark Szott on the power-play. The Raiders woke up for the second period as Josh Fudge solved Jonathon Cayer to pull to within two. The Storm regained their three goal lead with a short-handed marker by Jonathan Labelle. Grant Clitsome replied for the Raiders with a power-play goal 19 seconds later. Grande Prairie added one more before the end of the period as Kyle Radke potted one. With a 5-2 lead heading into the third, the Storm still had a few goals left in the tank. Mark Szott and Kyle Radke eached added their second goal of the night as the Grande Prairie Storm kept their perfect record intact with a 7-2 win. Nepean sits in second place with a 2-1 record.
May 10, 2004 – Day 3 Review
The Kindersley Klippers came in needing a win after losing in their opening game vs. Grande Prairie. But it was the Nepean Raiders who scored the first two goals of the game, both on the power-play. Chris Priolo scored both goals for the Raiders, one in the first, and one in the second. Kindersley had been swarming on a few power-plays, including a 5 on 3 advantage. After hitting the post and the cross bar, Josh Sim finally got the Klippers on the board with only 35 seconds left in the second period. With Nepean leading 2-1 heading into the third, Kindersley was fighting to get their first win, and Nepean was trying to keep their perfect record intact. The third period remained scoreless, despite Kindersley pulling their goalie for the extra attacker. Mitch O'Keefe made 31 saves for the win in the Nepean net, while Kevin Dziaduck had 23 saves in the loss for Kindersley. Nepean is now 2-0 and tied for the tournament lead, while Kindersley is 0-2.
Game #5 - Central (Aurora) 4 vs. Pacific (Nanaimo) 2
Despite being considered two of the favorites going in, Aurora and Nanaimo where both looking for their first win of the tournament. Aurora opened the scoring on an individual effort by Francis Walker to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Tyson Mullock responded for the Clippers with a power-play goal three minutes later to tie things at 1-1. Sean Scully ripped one top shelf from the point for another power-play goal, this time by the Tigers, to restore their one goal lead. With a 2-1 Aurora lead in the second, penalties continued to play a big part in this game as Nanaimo's Tyler Mugford scored his teams' second power-play goal to knot things up at 2-2. Aurora, with their second two man advantage, scored yet another power-play goal when Sean Scully scored his second of the night in a goal very similar to his first period goal picking the top shelf again. As Nanaimo struggled to stay out of the box, Aurora capitalized on its third 5-3 advantage with Francis Walker's second goal of the night. The Tigers held a 4-2 going into the third, and that proved to be enough. Nanaimo faces the Grande Prairie Storm tomorrow in the only game on the slate. This is the most anticipated match-up of the round robin as it will be the first time these two team meet since the Doyle Cup final that Nanaimo won 4 games to 1.
May 9, 2004 – Day 2 Review
The Nanaimo Clippers came in as the favorite in this one, but both teams were feeling each other out in a scoreless first period. However, the second period was all Nanaimo as they scored 3 unanswered goals, including 2 power-play goals by Brandon Kushniruk and Raymond Sawada. The Clippers peppered the Raiders goalie, Ian Dames, with 20 shots in the second period alone, whereas the Clippers goalie only faced 4 shots. The third period saw a swing in momentum as the Clippers got into penalty trouble. The Raiders finally got on the board when they scored a power-play goal on a two man advantage at 12:26 of the third period, and the Raiders were now the ones carrying the play. Nepean added another power-play goal less than a minute later to bring them to within one. With just three minutes remaining, the Raiders tied things up at 3-3 on an unassisted goal by Brennan Sarazin, his second of the game. In the first overtime period, both teams exchanged chances, but the two netminders were up to the task. The comeback was complete when the game was decided in the second overtime. The hero was Brennan Sarazin scoring the game winning goal for Nepean at 19:06 of the second overtime period, and completing his natural hat-trick.
Game #3 Central (Aurora) 2 vs. Host (Grande Prairie) 4
The host team played their second game of the RBC Royal Bank Cup against the pre-tournament favorite, Aurora Tigers, in their first game at the 2004 RBC Royal Bank Cup. Josh Welter opened the scoring for the Storm with an unassisted short-handed goal to give the home town team a 1-0 lead. The Tigers responded immediately with a goal by Jeff Gilbert to tie things up at 1-1. Grande Prairie carried the majority of the play as the Storm added two more goals to give them a healthy 3-1 lead going into the second period. The Aurora goalie was extremely busy in the first period making 20 saves as his team gave up four power-play opportunities. The second period opened up with a power-play goal for Aurora as Michael Tonelli brought his team back to within one. Kyle Radke help the Storm regain their two goal lead with a power-play goal late in the second period. Grande Prairie held a 4-2 lead into the third period, but that was all that was needed as the Storm won their second game of the tournament. The Aurora goalie made 34 saves in the loss for the Tigers, and Jonathan Cayer had 28 saves in the victory for the Storm.

Go time for me, anyway. I'm going home after three nights in Troy, N.Y. covering basketball. So this is going to have to serve as your game thread.
So the Rangers come up against a great opportunity today, all in their soft little hands. Beat the Bruins and jump right back over Atlanta and into the race. Lose and make the playoffs more of a pipe dream.
The Rangers are as close to eighth place as they are to 13th, as you know.
And though I'm sure a certain reader will be beside himself cursing Bostonians and believing that the vast NHL conspiracy is going to defeat the Rangers again … I'll just say this:
The Bruins sure took care of that messy little Matt Cooke situation sooner and with more righteous fury than the Rangers did when their star got beat up in Philly, when their captain got concussed, when their captain had to fight Cooke, and when their goalie kept getting run over.
To me, that says a lot about a team.
See youse during the 12:30 game, Edzos!
