Shrimp (Coonstripe, Northern, Sidestripe, and Spot) – Alaska
Several species of shrimp are caught in Alaska, including Coonstripe Shrimp, Northern Shrimp, Sidestripe shrimp, and Spot Shrimp or Prawns. Abundance is generally unknown but management regulations are in place to control fishing on these species.
Northern and Sidestripe Shrimp are caught with trawls, which can damage animals that live on the seafloor, but management measures are in place to lessen these impacts. Bycatch reduction devices have also been implemented in these fisheries and have successfully reduced bycatch to low levels.
Coonstripe and Spot shrimps are caught with traps. This fishing method can cause moderate levels of damage to the seafloor, but results in small amounts of bycatch.

Hundreds of investigators combed an area around a collapsed building near the Pattridge Park open space in Arvada Wednesday night after a body was discovered, about 11 miles south of where Jessica Ridgeway's backpack was found.
At a hastily called press conference, Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso said "we are unable to make a connection to the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway."
Since Saturday, more than 1,000 citizen and law enforcement searchers have combed open spaces around Jessica's Westminster home and near where the backpack was found in the Rock Creek neighborhood.
Wednesday afternoon, federal and police investigators swarmed a grassy area north of West 82nd Avenue and east of the BFI landfill. They were aided by lights and using a fire truck with its ladder extended to get a better view. Their work was focused near a building that appears to be a remnant of an old mining operation.
The Colorado Department of Transportation closed Colorado 93 in both directions at Leyden Gulch.
Materasso called the area a crime scene and said it had been secured to allow investigators to work through the night. He gave no more details and declined to answer questions.
Police will hold another briefing at 6:30 a.m.
Earlier in the day, police said they had concluded the missing 10-year-old is likely the victim of an abduction after ruling out her parents as suspects.
"We're confident the parents are not involved in the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway," Materasso said at an afternoon news briefing. "The focus shifts to an unknown suspect because we think she was abducted."
Wednesday night, Jessica Ridgeway's home was quiet. No one answered the door. A neighbor said he had seen Jessica's father, Jeremiah Bryant, run out of the home at about 6:45 p.m.
Materasso said during the afternoon briefing that investigators have no specific leads or suspects, although he acknowledged that detectives have been interviewing registered sex offenders in the area.
"Sex offenders have been a focus of ours as standard procedure," he said.
In September, Faith Christian Academy, 12189 W. 64th Ave. and an Arvada-area soccer program, separately warned parents and guardians that a stranger had approached students in two reported incidents, one at Fitzmorris Elementary school and another near Quaker Acres park. The man offered them candy and asked them to get in his car. Police reports were filed. A sketch of the suspect was made.
Jessica last was seen leaving her home on North Moore Street in Westminster around 8:30 a.m. Friday. She was to meet with classmates at nearby Chelsea Park to walk to Witt Elementary, but she never arrived at school that morning.
Her mother, Sarah Ridgeway, a night-shift worker, slept during the day and awoke to find a message that her daughter never made it to school and reported her missing around 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Additional people have been brought on board to handle the large number of tips generated in the case "from across the country" — more than 650 had been received by phone and e-mail, Materasso said.

The City of Bastrop has partnered with the Morehouse Parish School System in efforts to ensure the safety of local students. Superintendent Dr. George Noflin Jr. and Mayor Betty Alford-Olive both said they're happy to be working together on the new project.
"It is a privilege to work with city officials that have the same desire to keep students safe and sound and are willing to do what is necessary to ensure that the safety of students remains a top priority," Noflin said.
Alford-Olive said she and Noflin are in agreement on some new actions they are executing in hopes of making students, teachers and parents feel more secure.
"I am very appreciative of our shared interest in that Dr. Noflin and I have for making our community the best that it can be," Alford-Olive said.
Noflin said they've implemented certain measures that should keep students safer.
"We've established a School Resource Officer at both Bastrop High School and Morehouse Junior High School," Noflin said.
The SRO attempts to prevent juvenile delinquency by promoting positive relations between youth and law enforcement.
Noflin said the MPSB has made a layout of each campus available to the city to help with the location of a potential intruder. They've also provided the city with a schedule of fire and intruder drills to be held at each campus.
"We've collaborated a city-wide drill including first and second lines of defense," Noflin said. "We've distributed materials to our students with the necessary information to contact local officials."
Last week, all Morehouse Parish students received Be Safe pamphlets from their schools. These pamphlets listed safety tips from the BPD and the BFD. Some of these tips included being prepared for the risks with children using the Internet and making an escape plan with your family in case of a fire.
"These are some of the ways that we work together for the betterment of the students in Morehouse Parish," Noflin said. " I am very glad and proud to work in an environment where there is a spirit of collaboration and cooperation."

Meharg Named ESPNU/ESPN The Magazine Top 20 Recruiter
Terrapin head coach Missy Meharg was named one of college athletics' top 20 recruiters by ESPNU/ESPN The Magazine in January 2012.
"ESPNU AND THE MAGAZINE asked an all-star panel a seemingly simple question: Who are the top 20 recruiters in college sports? We spoke with three dozen experts, from Mag college football Insider Bruce Feldman to volleyball legend Karch Kiraly to women's World Cupper Cat Whitehill. Turns out, baseball coaches aren't the only ones pulling roster magic from a hat half-filled with scholarships."Coach SchoolSport

Rising heavyweight star Junior Dos Santos will look to keep his unbeaten UFC streak going on Sunday, March 21st when he takes on former world title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga in an All-Brazilian clash of hard-hitting contenders. View fight card
The bout, which takes place at the Odeum Colorado in Broomfield, Colorado, is part of the UFC's first show on the VERSUS network.
Tickets for this event, which is headlined by the light heavyweight showdown between Brandon Vera and Jon Jones, will go on sale Saturday, January 16 at 10 a.m. MT and are $300, $150, $75, and $50 (plus applicable service charges). Tickets will be available for purchase at www.tickethorse.com and the Pepsi Center Box Office.
UFC® Fight Club™ members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to this event Thursday, January 14 at 10 a.m. MT via ufc.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Friday, January 15 starting at 10 a.m. MT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through ufc.com.
Born in Santa Catarina, the 25-year old Dos Santos (10-1) has been on a tear during his UFC stint, finishing Fabricio Werdum, Stefan Struve, Mirko Cro Cop, and most recently Gilbert Yvel en route to a perfect 4-0 Octagon record. In Rio De Janeiro native Gonzaga (11-4) he may be facing his stiffest test, as "Napao" – who is coming off a first round TKO of Chris Tuchscherer last August - is as dangerous on the ground as he is on his feet.
In other March 21st bouts made official this week, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson and John "Doomsday" Howard will meet in a welterweight bout that has been gaining a lot of steam thanks to an escalating war of words between the two 170-pound standouts; and former light heavyweight title challenger Vladimir Matyushenko meets jiu-jitsu ace Eliot Marshall.

At Nella's Frozen Yogurt, owner Jennifer Allen has the backs of the soft-serve machines labeled with images of classic rock stars: Paul McCartney, Gene Simmons, Steve Perry and others.
For utilitarian purposes, Allen could have simply adhered the softly churning units with letters, numbers or a banal combination of the two. But that, unlike the fluorescent splashes of color on the walls, wouldn't be much fun.
"If I could have Journey (playing) here once an hour every hour, I would. But I don't think that would bring a lot of customers in," laughed the admittedly bubbly Columbine graduate, noting that the business' cone-saturating palette of turquoise, hot pink and lime green was also a matter of personal taste. "Yogurt's fun. That's what it's supposed to be. … The colors, my mom would never let me have on my bedroom wall."
Nella's, the name of which is the result of the owner's name in reverse, opened April 14. The shop, which seats about 50, has an ever-evolving assortment of 16 different flavors and 52 toppings. Customers fill their own cups, mixing flavors and sprinkling garnishes ranging from cereal to crushed peanut butter cups in a buffet-style line.
At 39 cents per ounce, the average cup of yogurt costs less than $4, said Allen, who months ago left her job with an Idaho-based homebuilder to develop the yogurt business.
Making Nella's a self-serve operation was a non-negotiable aspect of her plan, said Allen, who won't let anyone dictate how many sprinkles she puts on her own dessert.
"I am kind of bossy. … I don't like people doing what I know I can do better. I just think there's something about choice and getting to choose how little or how much you want. Nobody likes being told what they have to have," said the 2002 graduate, who not surprisingly was elected class president. "I really feel food's an experience. You get to come up with a creation. Once you get your favorite flavors, you get to top it off with your favorite toppings — hot fudge or peanut butter."
The business is a contrast to the once-ubiquitous yogurt shops of the early '90s. Though the offerings are similar, Nella's polished ambience is an attempt to make the shop a welcoming hangout for students.
And despite a decade-long dominance by ice cream, frozen yogurt is making a comeback, Allen said. She realized the potential for such a business in South Jeffco after seeing the prevalence of yogurt shops in Texas, where her younger sister was attending college.
"Down there, there's a lot of frozen-yogurt stores, so when we would go down to visit, as a family, we ended the night with some frozen yogurt," she said. "(Soon) there'll be a lot of frozen yogurt in the market. … Everything kind of has a life cycle.
"I think we could see the trend coming, and we wanted to stake our claim. We needed to pick the areas that we wanted to be in, first."
Making Nella's a family operation was more important, she said, than what the shop sold. Testifying to that, her father, Rick, manages the payroll for the shop's 20 employees. And when the machines get low, he adds yogurt. Her mother, Lorie, picks out the shop's fruit. And her sister, Jessica, a 2006 Columbine graduate, tends to the register part time. Even her uncle, a dentist, is responsible for the abstract paintings on the walls.
"My dad never probably even made a PB&J. Food was not his thing, and so to him this is more cooking than he's done in his entire life, and it's not even cooking," she said. "I wanted to do something with my family, and I wanted to do something where I could interact with the customers and maybe change their day, get to know people better (and) not sit behind a desk."
Though Nella's has the unblemished appearance of an established franchise, managing the nascent business is at times challenging, Allen said. She received about 300 applications for jobs at the South Jeffco store, and she recently opened another location in the Denver Tech Center.
"With this type of job, there's a lot of high school kids, so there's a lot of turnover … always new faces," said Nella's assistant manager Caitie Grant, a fellow Columbine grad and friend of the Allen family. "It's just been two weeks, but for us it feels like months, since we've been talking about (Nella's) forever."
And making certain that ingredients — pre-made yogurt flavors and dozens of toppings — are in adequate supply has so far been the most difficult task, Allen said, adding that the South Jeffco location drew about 2,000 customers on its busiest day.
"Right now it's managing inventory, just because things fly off the shelves," she said.
And though the yogurt aficionado has her pick of dozens of flavors and countless combinations, she admits a bias for the simple classics.
"I'm pretty much a chocolate-vanilla (person)," she said. "But I have a different flavor every day. I guess the one benefit of owning the place is that you get to experiment."

As rough as a lot of folks had it with Irene, I was impressed with how well most of the metropolitan area O.E.M.'s had things under control. Well, as much control as you can have in a hurricane. The unprecedented shutdown of mass transit in NYC and the evacuations initiated in anticipation of this storm were well executed and laudable. So many times our elected officials are caught flat-footed when Mother Nature inflicts her wrath, thankfully we had the time to prepare and make amends for past mistakes.
We're extremely fortunate that the storm was downgrading as it reached the tri-state area. A lot of low-lying areas suffered dramatic flooding and wind damage but our little anchorage was relatively quiet except for a couple of dragging anchors and a couple of close quarter situations when one vessel would swing into the circle of another.
The first indications of clearing began late in the afternoon and progressed to the point where we could get moving again after a long 4 days of waiting. This video is just a small sample of how it looks to us as the anchor comes up into the hawse and we turn southbound for our discharge port.
Some folks suffered little to no effect while others lost everything. The season for crazy weather is far from over, hopefully this will be the worst we see this year.
I'm just glad to be moving and grateful to see another day.

Halloween costumes so simple, it's scary
A recent Internet search for "last-minute Halloween costumes" offered several variations - "Last-minute costumes for women/men/couples/kids/dogs" - and many subsequent web-page suggestions.
Apparently, I'm not the only one casting about for ideas.
While it's not the greatest testament to the majority's planning-in-advance skills, it's nice to know we're in good company. And because I understand us "creative procrastinators" so well, I offer the following advice: In a Halloween costume pinch, read the headlines, see what's trending on Twitter, and brainstorm from there. Ironic and timely costumes trump a pretty princess dress any day of the week. You might not have the ultimate "Game of Thrones" Khaleesi costume, but a costume that riffs on that state of the world will garner you pop-savvy points and at least a few laughs.
Allow me to proffer the following 10 ideas to get the creative juices flowing. If all else fails, zombify any old costume concept and you'll be instantly Walking-Dead-chic.
1. Classic, updated. Dracula is back, thanks to NBC's new version of Bram Stoker's story of Vlad the Impaler. The television series, titled "Dracula," stars the ever-fabulous Jonathan Rhys Meyers and premiered Friday. A Vlad-clad party guest will be classic and current! Note: This "Dracula" story is set in 1896; costume appropriately .
2. Denizens of Downton. English majors will love this one, and a new season of Downton starts Jan. 5. Post-Edwardian-era fashion isn't too tough to patch together, thanks to our region's ready supply of vintage clothing and Goodwill stores. Upstairs: Find some classic evening wear and start quibbling over salad forks and the demise of civilization at the hands of women's liberation (budding journalist Edith with a notepad, perhaps?); Downstairs: modify an old black suit or (non-sexy) maid's outfit, grab some white gloves, and channel Anna, Bates and Carson all night. DON'T get railroaded into party clean-up, though.
3. Walter White. One porkpie hat, plus one bald head or bald cap, and you're halfway there. Add neutral beige jacket, outdated glasses and bag of blue rock candy, and it's done. The series might be over, but the legend of Heisenberg will live on.
4. Healthcare.gov user. Sport the look of a new medical insurance costumer thusly: Put on some jammies and/or a bathrobe, grab a mug of coffee, and tuck a laptop or tablet under one arm and a load of paperwork under the other. Start complaining endlessly about long wait times, while failing to note that hundreds of thousands of users are trying to do the same thing simultaneously. Tuck cell phone in pocket and consult tech support with it periodically throughout the night.
5. For very confident couples: Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus. For him: Add some white stripes to an old black suit; add shades and lots of hair gel; start crooning about blurred lines of behavior.
For her: Keep it simple and wear a flesh-tone bodysuit; wrap hair in mini buns and add sports-fan foam finger (and keep it to yourself). Stick out tongue inexplicably.
6. For couples who like to keep it PG, float on. Find some basic space-man suits and try to look weightless, because astronauts are in again, thanks to "Gravity," Alfonso Cuarón's megahit film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as a medical engineer and an astronaut marooned out in space. Simple and loaded with Oscar buzz.
7. For families: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George. Admit it: you love the royal couple and all their happy occasions. Any chic suit and matching chapeau will work for a Kate costume as long as she's got on pearls and an earnest-looking Wills and Baby George beside her. Now that Prince George has been christened, we have a fresh Kate look to modify into a costume; add a baby in a dress and you're nearly there.
Bonus: replicate the couple in their royal wedding finery; replace Baby George with a Pippa or a smartly clad Queen Elizabeth.
8. Grumpy Cat. First, spend at least 3 hours looking up "Grumpy Cat" and her associated meme-offshoots. For those pressed for time, knowyourmeme.com explains the popular and permanently unamused kitty like this: "Grumpy Cat is a nickname given to an angry-looking snowshoe cat that rose to fame online after its pictures were posted to Reddit in late September 2012."
This costume is great for the introverts who would love nothing more than to openly comment about how awful a given Halloween party really is.
And yep, Grumpy Cat masks are available online.
9. Honey Badger Don't Care. If you aren't aware of the "Crazy NastyAss Honey Badger" series of nature videos, check the out on YouTube. An explainer, per knowyourmeme.com: "The Honey Badger is a viral video featuring nature documentary footage with voiceover narration provided by (a user called) Randall, a self-proclaimed animal lover who has since launched a successful YouTube series of similar videos."
According to knowyourmeme.com, Honey Badger hit big in 2011, but the entire universe appears to be catching on this year, and the Internet is dying to sell you Honey Badger hats, tails, buttons, T-shirts, etc. And yes, there's a sexy Honey Badger costume out there, too.
Bonus round: A suggestion from an overly creative, overworked husband of mine: Double the meme value and create a "Here Comes Honey Badger" costume: add tiara, blond wig and tutu to Honey Badger gear and you're good to go.
10. Recycle alert! Remember when "V for Vendetta" sent everybody scurrying for cloaks and Guy Fawkes masks? It was cool then, and it'll be doubly cool now if you dust off that mask and don it again as a member of computer hacker syndicate Anonymous. You might want to change all your passwords right after the party, though.

Baier and Schryver Qualify for Visa Championships
Colorado Springs, Colo. - Nebraska men's gymnasts Wyatt Baier and Eric Schryver have qualified for the 2012 Visa Championships. Baier finished 16th overall and 12th among non-Senior National Team Members at the U.S. Men's National Qualifier to earn an automatic qualification. Teammate Schryver picked up a finish of 20th overall and 15th among non-Senior National Team Members, allowing him to qualify for the 42-competitor field at the Visa Championships on an at-large basis.
"I had a really great meet," Baier said. "This is the first time I have ever qualified to the Visa Championships and I am proud to represent Nebraska on the national level."
Baier began competition in the second session of the qualifier, competing on floor exercise, still rings, vault and parallel bars. The junior's work on the day was highlighted by a huge 16.10 on vault, good for second overall in competition. Baier added marks of 14.15 on floor, 12.90 on rings and 13.55 on parallel bars for an overall score of 56.700. Baier scored a total of 28 points on the 20 point system, putting him at 16th overall and allowing him to qualify for the Championships.
Schryver finished just outside automatic qualification at 20th overall, including a 10th-place finish on pommel horse (14.00) and a 13th-place finish on parallel bars (14.30). Schryver added a finish of 17th on high bar (13.20) for a 20-point total of 23.
Baier and Schryver were joined by teammates Wyatt Aycock and Josh Ungar in competition at the Men's National Qualifier. Ungar posted a finish of 48th overall, including a finish of 15th on high bar at 13.40. Aycock came in at 52nd in competition, finishing 20th on both vault (15.20) and parallel bars (14.10).
The 2012 Visa Championships will be held in St. Louis, Mo. on June 7-10. Approximately 42 athletes have been invited to compete in the senior division of the competition. The current U.S. National Team members automatically qualify for competition. The competition field was then rounded out by adding up to 12 competitiors from the 2012 NCAA Championships and the 14 selections from the U.S. Men's National Qualifier.
The remaining positions were filled using selections from the U.S. Men's National Qualifier, allowing Schryver to qualify for the Visa Championships. Schryver finished 15th at the Qualifier and was awarded a position at the Championships on an at-large basis.
The 2012 Visa Championships will serve to determine the qualifiers for the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 28-July 1 in San Jose, Calif. Tickets are currently available for both the National Championships and the Olympic Trials.

please excuse me for being a 1 time signup and poster
I've been out of paintball for 2 years since my daughter was Born.
my Brother gave me his busted up oldschool Minimag a year or so ago, and i'm just gassin' her up now.
These are the issues.
1) when first gassed up, air came out the back vent.= i stripped and oiled all o-rings. no longer leaks
-there is a big spring that looks a tad rusted
2) Now when gassing up trigger charges fine into place, but when i fire the bolt doesn't cycle back, it stays in the barrel.
- i can push the barrel back into place with a squeegee, when doing so i hear a click, almost like a sear.
little help would be great.
NOTE: this is a Stock mechanical minimag, nothing fancy
im guessing im going to need a rebuild kit either way by the end of this.
thanks yall

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The seventh-ranked Duke women's lacrosse team opened the second half on a 4-1 run but came up short in a 15-6 loss to No. 4 Maryland Sunday afternoon at the Terrapins' Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex. The Blue Devils fall to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference action after beginning the spring with four consecutive wins.
"It was not a great day for our offense," said head coach Kerstin Kimel. "I felt like we made too many mistakes. But there are really good things that we can take away from this game. I want our kids to focus on the effort and some of the areas that we made adjustments in and did a better job of in the second half."
Sophomore Kerrin Maurer led Duke offensively with five points on three goals and two assists, giving her a team-high 24 points on the year. Junior Molly Quirke added a goal and an assist while junior Maddy Morrissey and redshirt junior Maddie Salamone also scored.
Senior Kaitlin Gaiss and freshman Kelsey Duryea split time in goal, with Gaiss recording three saves and Duryea eight in her collegiate debut. Maryland's Kasey Howard made seven stops in the win.
Down 9-2 at the intermission, the Blue Devils came out firing in the second half, as Maurer corralled the opening draw and picked up her second assist on a goal by Morrissey. After taking over in between the pipes at halftime for her first appearance this season, Duryea came up with several key saves to keep momentum on Duke's side. Maurer added two more goals over the next 10 minutes and Salamone also scored as Duke went on a 4-1 run to narrow Maryland's lead to 10-6 with just under 15 minutes to play.
"I felt like our kids did a great job coming out of halftime refocused on trying to chip away at our deficit," Kimel said. "With the goalie change, putting Kelsey in, I thought she made a couple of really critical stops. And that gave us some momentum - to be able to make those stops was huge."
However, the Terrapins responded with three consecutive scores to push their lead back to seven at 13-6. Maryland tacked on two more goals before the clock expired for the 15-6 victory.
For the game, the Terrapins outshot Duke 32-17 and won the ground ball battle, 15-5. The Blue Devils won the draw control category, 13-11, with junior defender Taylor Virden leading the way with three. Duke was also 12-of-13 on the day in clear attempts and committed 13 turnovers in the loss.
Maryland struck first in the opening half, converting a free position attempt and adding another score less than a minute later for an early 2-0 advantage. Sophomore Kerrin Maurer broke through the Terrapin defense to provide the answer for Duke on an unassisted goal at the 23:33 mark.
Maryland capitalized at the draw over the next few minutes, rattling off three consecutive goals for a 5-1 lead midway through the first half. Duke came up with a stop on the next defensive possession, highlighted by a Gaiss save, but the Terrapins scored twice to extend their run to 7-0.
Sophomore Taylor Trimble won the ensuing draw for the Blue Devils and Maurer quickly found Quirke for a goal at the end of the half, cutting Maryland's lead to 9-2 at the break.
In the first period, the Terrapins held a 17-9 advantage in shots while Duke won eight draw controls to Maryland's five.
Duke returns home for a tilt with Vanderbilt Saturday, March 2 at 2 p.m. That contest will be aired on ESPN3.

The Neosho girls basketball team gave Republic a run for its money on Monday in a Central Ozark Conference tilt at Republic High School.
The Neosho girls basketball team gave Republic a run for its money on Monday in a Central Ozark Conference tilt at Republic High School.
After playing even with the Lady Tigers in the first half, even going ahead 7-0 to start the game, the Lady Wildcats fell behind in the third quarter and never recovered, falling 58-44.
With the score tied at 31 at the half, perhaps the Lady Wildcats' performance in the early going awakened the No. 2 team in Class 4 as the Lady Tigers (19-0) went on a 16-4 run in the third quarter to grab the lead for good.
The game was decided at the free throw line, however, as Republic was successful on 20 attempts from the line, while the Lady Wildcats struggled to get there.
"We got off to a good start early," Neosho coach Lance Robbins said. "We got them down 7-0, and I felt like that kind of helped our confidence early.
"We guarded really well, especially in the first half, but I felt like we guarded pretty well all night long."
Robbins credited point guard Morgan Rathmann for breaking Republic's press and getting the ball inside to the post, where Morgan Rogers led the team with 17 points. But the Lady Tigers just wouldn't go away.
Alice Heinzler had the hot-hand for Republic, as she gave Neosho fits from the floor and finished with 17 points. Meanwhile, teammate Alex Botkin netted 15 points, while Sarah Kreul had 11, Micah Mansker one, Kayla Bartlesmeyer two, Lindsey Carlson seven and Tori Taylor four.
Behind Rogers, the Lady Wildcats (8-12, 0-2 conference) received contributions from Corea Lowery with 10 points, Chelsey Henry six, Rathmann five, Emily Harrell four and Whitney Wise two.
Aside from the third quarter, the Lady Wildcats looked like team that can compete with anyone in the conference.
"We just never could recover once they got that lead," Robbins said. "I think we played well and proved to ourselves that we're capable of playing at a high level with some of the toughest teams in our conference and the state. We've just got to do it night in and night out."
Republic won the junior varsity game, 67-12.
The Lady Wildcats are back in action when they travel to Ozark at 6 p.m. Thursday. That game, originally scheduled for Neosho, has been moved to Ozark where the Tigers will instead entertain Neosho's boys and girls for homecoming.

Wooooooo hooooooo, I think I just fainted a little.
awesome. Just take my money already Mattel!
Well I promised that if we hit the goal I'd order a second one. So I gotta remember to pencil that in. One to play with and Heaven help me with the cost, but one going to AFA.
I believe my partner is going to chuck me out of the house and I'm going to end up living in this thing Where am I going to put it? I'm going to need an extension for my house. Oh, what the heck, bring on Filmation Fright Zone!
I´m truly happy for all the people who pre-ordered and i´m glad it´s a done deal now.
Now i don´t have to feel guilty anymore that i can´t afford it or that i don´t want it that badly....
...anyway i´m happy it will be made and it´s right that it´s going to be made. The castle needs his place in MOTUC!
Wow, what a surp...

Now see how long before the She-Ravers start lobbying for a Classics Crystal Castle.
Crystal Castle preorders would have obviously been much higher than Castle Grayskull.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Road Ripper 3) Dragon Walker 4) Land Shark
just want to chime in with a great big CONGRATULATIONS to all of us that wanted this to be made!
most importantly, i think, it's great to recognize that despite any mattel shenanigans/corporate game/marketing ploys, there clearly ARE enough MOTU fans out there! we've proven it. the fact that enough site-unseen pre-orders were garnered to make it worth mattel's effort to make this is absolutely awesome in and of itself! plus, the iphone game doing fantastically makes me proud also to think that he-man ISN'T just some niche nostalgic entity. i TRULY hope mattel big-wigs are paying attention to the worldwide reception of what's happening here with he-man's 30th, and that it may allow them to place a little more trust into this property's potential going forward into the future. what an awesome time to be a fan! happy 30th everyone! congrats on the castle, and long live MOTU!!!!
This is great news! Like others have said, I need to find a place to put this. It looks huge from the preliminary sculpt!
If the interest is there, I would be all for a Fright Zone next.
I am looking forward to this more than anything in my foreseeable future!

I'm gonna punch Scott in the face!" -JVS3 RGD Ep072
I'm so glad that's over! Very happy we made it, I think it bodes well for the health of the line. Now I just gotta avoid all the conspiracy theorists and gloom and doom prognosticators (fun as they are )
Be sure to read Book of Evil Part 2: The Bells of Doom, only in the He-Man.org Fan Fic & Media forums!
Glad it's being made. I did not order one yet, as I have some Sandy damage I need to take care of. But with the extra month and a half, I should be able to have a better idea of my finances, and hopefully be able to get CG. By then I hope we have some actual sculpted sneak peeks!
I will NEVER believe that Mermista beheaded Mer-Man! You sit on a throne of lies.... and smell of beef and cheese, bio writer!!!!
Excellent!!! Not jumping the gun or anything but since Grayskull did/will do well Snake Mountain can't be far behind....
Is anyone actually surprised? I called it weeks ago.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

do you want to talk to some of my rc guys here?
http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...RKM-3D-Designs"You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes." RU
They have a 200 piece minimum order. Basically I see a lot of left over, but in my mind the project just would have to break even. I honestly don't think there is any money to be made I just want a cool mat for my desk. It is worth it to me to at least pursue a a design and then see if there really is enough interest once it is finalized.
Knownothingmags - ya if they can pass along a POC for a company that will do a custom mat and they have a smaller minimum order then we may get a better product for the same or less. I thought those internal trays were pretty slick and the magnet aspect was even better.
Like I said I don't mind doing the leg work for this, don't expect something tomorrow though, it takes time to do the proper research and pull the right set of resources together to complete this. I am not a graphics guy, but I do know several and I have some call out to build me the layout. I want a high quality product just much as everyone else.
So any updates? I still want one of these things.
ill try to get some info posted up this week. if any companies want to help with this.
Okay sounds good.
cough any updates? Are we just gonna give up on this thing?
hey sorry got real busy. ill do it tommorow.
ill see if this is doable on my end.
if not my guys should be able to get me in touch with someone worth talking to.
Add me to the interested count.
I'd buy one.
talked to the guys today we are looking at 50-75 $ a mat.
ill try and get ahold of the company tommorow.
so i can get some reall figures, 50-75$ per is a high number but not out of the question.
ill follow up tommorow.
I would fully expect it to be more expensive anyway as it's custom made, so the higher price is not an issue. Just need to decide upon a final layout and size.
i talked to the one company that would entertain the idea today, they said minimum order is 1000,
so im taped out on recources to get this done,
is there anyone else with better people skills or different mold company go to?
Anything new, I would really enjoy a diagram mat

Need to find a place that will make them without requiring 200+ minimum order.
So I contacted a USA company called Telor Tactical about making custom printed magnetic mats. Hey replied and stated that he could print custom magnetic mats in a small quantity of 75 units. I have sent him a follow up email asking how to send graphics, along with pricing details.
I must admit that I don't have the final graphic depiction that the forum decided on, although I really hope it's tailored to exploded views of the x valve and classic valve. I loved bunny's rendition! I am not sure if we can do one of the x valve with level x bolt and then one with classic valve with level 7 bolt, with the idea of splitting the units? I also will be tied up here shortly with life issues taking most of my time. Is there possibly someone that I could had this lead of to who has time and the decided graphic depiction?
Last edited by barkingspider; 07-14-2013 at 09:34 PM.
I'm still in.
I'd also be in for one, for sure.
I am sending out a few emails to hopeful sources for getting these made. But we need to have a for sure size nailed down.
Did we decide 12x18" range is good enough or do we want something bigger? 18x24" for instance.
18x24" is preferable to me simply because you can move parts out of the way and still have plenty of work area on the mat. But I know others were saying that's too big.
I'd rather have an 12"x18", myself. Plenty of room to tear down one paintball gun and still small enough to store easily.
Can someone send me the decided valve graphic and I will send it in for a quote
Ok. Found a source that makes custom molded rubber counter/bar mats with no minimum order requirements. There is a setup fee to make them and we need a final design/layout in order to get that setup fee figured. They offer these mats in 17x22" (put four sheets of standard loose leaf paper together to see the size) and maybe larger (but setup will go up).. I'll have to confirm if they can go larger if we want 16x30. Depending on final setup costs, this could easily be distributed over and add only minimal cost per unit if we do a run of say... 50.
Not sure how many people actually want one of these though. Obviously the more units made, the lower the setup will cost overall.
What's a ballpark price point? People always got to know what they're getting into before they will say "I'm interested".
The mats are in the range of $20-$25 a piece not including the distributed setup fee, which is how it'll be cheaper the more we order. Very rough estimate on setup is $400 (with no image it is -very- hard to get setup costs) which breaks down to $8 over a 50 piece run of mats. So in total, maybe $30-$40 a mat depending on setup costs.
The mats are solid molded rubber. Visit a local bar/restaurant with bar and see if they have rubber mats on their bar to see what you think, it's the same thing I'm talking about. We could get them without all the nibs for holding spilled drink to preserve the parts diagram. The guy I spoke with also suggested going with a thinner rubber (1/4") instead of standard thickness to help cut down costs. We could probably have some depressions put along top/bottom to hold small parts like screws an stuff too.

Since the ACC Tournament began in 1989, Duke has captured seven tournament titles, including the most recent in 2012. The Blue Devils first brought the trophy back to Durham in 1995, beating Virginia and then rival North Carolina. Duke scored a combined 31 goals in those games, the most in ACC Tournament history at the time.
The Blue Devils had to wait six more years to climb back to the top spot, defeating North Carolina and Maryland for the program's first title in the new millennium. The following season saw Duke achieve championship status again as it won a pair of one-goal games over Maryland and Virginia for the third ACC Tournament title in eight seasons.
Duke again found itself on the top podium spot in 2007 under the direction of new head coach John Danowski. That became a regular spot for the Blue Devils as they captured the next two crowns, marking the first time Duke had won three consecutive ACC titles in school history. In 2009, Duke's high powered offense matched the 1995 squad's 31 goals, which still stands as the ACC Tournament record for goals scored in a tournament.
The Blue Devils relinquished control in 2010 and 2011 before taking home their fourth title in the past six seasons in 2012. Duke edged Maryland in the semifinals in 2012 and outlasted rival North Carolina for the eighth time in ACC Tournament history to win its seventh title and fourth under Danowski.
Duke is 20-16 overall in ACC Tournament history and 7-6 in championship games. Duke's performance in 1995 still stands strong in the ACC records book as the 31 goals, 24 assists, 123 ground balls and 36 saves in the two games combined all remain ACC Tournament records.

- It's official: Boulder won't pursue USA Pro Cycling Challenge stage next year
- Nov 1:
- Committee co-chairman: Pro Cycling Challenge may skip Boulder in 2013, return in 2014
- Oct 29:
- Boulder weighs bid for 2013 USA Pro Cycling Challenge race
- Oct 22:
- Boulder officials: USA Pro Cycling Challenge helped boost sales tax revenues
Aspen will host the 2013 USA Pro Challenge and the time trial will move from Denver back to Vail, the race announced Wednesday morning.
The press conference, held at Aspen's Little Nell hotel, announced all eight cities that will host stages in the race which begins Aug. 19 in Aspen and ends in Denver again Aug. 25.
Loveland and Fort Collins, which will serve as the site of one of three criterium circuits, join the race for the first time.
The 2013 race will skip Boulder, which hosted the penultimate leg this year, and Longmont, which put in its first bid for a stage this fall.
Boulder leaders ultimately did not apply for a 2013 stage after organizers informed the city that it would not be selected again for the 2013 race.
The schedule will be:
• Stage 1, Aug. 19: Aspen/Snowmass circuit.
• Stage 2, Aug. 20: Aspen/Snowmass to Breckenridge.
• Stage 3, Aug. 21: Breckenridge to Steamboat Springs.
• Stage 4, Aug. 22: Steamboat Springs to Beaver Creek.
• Stage 5, Aug. 23: Vail individual time trial.
• Stage 6, Aug. 24: Loveland-Fort Collins circuit.
• Stage 7, Aug. 25: Denver circuit.
"I think we have a route that will again be challenging for the athletes but maybe the most fan friendly route of the first three years," race CEO Shawn Hunter said from Aspen. "We're going to have a couple circuits so there's going to be at least three cities that will be able to see circuit finishes so the fans can see the athletes multiple times in their hometowns."
Hunter said the routes will be finalized over the next two months but the circuit races will allow fans to see riders five or six times in Aspen and Denver.
"The feedback that we've gotten from the athletes and the fans is they like to see the athletes multiple times in comparison to the sprint finish," Hunter said. "It's exciting when fans in a local community get to see the peloton come through five or six times."
The time trial returns to Vail where the climb up Vail Pass had been a tradition dating back to the Red Zinger Bicycle Classic in the 1970s. For this year's race, it moved to the final day in Denver where it produced a dramatic finish.
Boulder native Taylor Phinney won the time trial and Christian Vande Velde of Boulder-based Team Garmin-Sharp came from behind to win the overall title.
"We want to always change it up," Hunter said. "The beauty of this sport is you can change the route every year. We moved the time trial back to Friday. It's one of the iconic stages of all time in America dating back to the Zinger and Coors Classic. We had a big response from fans who want to see that back so we're going to do it."
Aspen has hosted dramatic finishes in the first two Pro Challenges and last year's start to Breckenridge. It will likely draw massive crowds compared to this year's start in Durango. Aspen also has the money to back the expensive venture.
"Aspen's the perfect host," Hunter said. "It's a world-class resort. It's known around the world and they have the infrastructure here to host what will probably be a week-long celebration leading up to the competition.
"It's a great place to bring athletes and a great place to bring fans."
Loveland and Fort Collins join the race for the first time. They replace Boulder as northern Colorado spots.
Colorado Springs lost its bid to host a stage for the third straight year and for the third time, the race passed over Grand Junction.
"We're going to Grand Junction in future years," Hunter said. "The way the route is laid out this year, it didn't fit into our geographic plans. We like the leadership in Grand Jnction. We want to go there. We want to explore as much of the state as possible.
"We're just limited over seven days as to what we can do."

Ditkas Three Memorable Nebraska Moments
Randy York's N-Sider
Official Blog of the Huskers
The first tight end ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is also one of only two men to win a Super Bowl as a player, an assistant coach and a head coach. He also happens to be the only individual in modern NFL history to win a championship with the same team as a player and a coach. Those facts paint the picture of Mike Ditka, a legend who has at least three fond memories of Nebraska football that he shared with us this past extended weekend:
1) as a player at Pitt in 1958;
2) as the head coach of the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears team that included two former Huskers on its official roster; and
3) as a legend who went to bat publicly to support Tom Osborne, a coach he did not know well, yet was more than willing to accommodate a Nebraska sportswriter to help set the record straight.
We offer this quick-hitting triple after meeting Ditka in the upscale downtown Chicago restaurant that carries his name and serves as his one-hour pregame radio studio before Bears' games. Ditka built his reputation as a tough, hard-nosed player/coach tracing back to his family's coal mining, steel manufacturing roots in Western Pennsylvania. Since Michael Jordan moved from the Windy City, even a Friday riverboat tour guide called Ditka the most iconic sports legend still living in Chicago, the national headquarters for the Big Ten, the nation's oldest conference. Ditka was a gracious celebrity host when he stopped by a table to meet four surprised Husker fans before dinner. From that 10-minute conversation, we share three memorable Ditka moments that intersect with Nebraska football history.
1) On Nov. 15, 1958, Ditka was a starting sophomore tight end and punter on a nationally ranked Pitt team that visited Memorial Stadium. Nebraska won only three of 10 games that season, but the heavy underdog Huskers upset both Penn State (14-7 in State College) and Pitt (14-6). Ditka and the once-beaten Panthers, fresh off a big win over Notre Dame, came into Lincoln as three-touchdown favorites and their eyes on nothing less than a major bowl bid. Ditka, who became a consensus All-America tight end two years later, was a factor in Nebraska's third-quarter touchdown, managing only a 19-yard punt to his own 42-yard line. Husker halfback Larry Naviaux threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mike Eger and a 2-yard scoring pass to Pat Fischer. Lincoln insurance executive Dick McCashland came up with a critical interception, and local dentist/center Don Fricke delivered a sizable number of key blocks. The Nebraska-Pitt game drew only 24,000 fans. NU students stormed the field after the upset and tried to capture a historical reminder, but the North Stadium's steel goalposts withstood the assault. Nebraska's Corn Cob mascot, however, lost his head in the joyous, chaotic celebration. There's one more ironic footnote to that 1958 season. Before Saturday's Nebraska-Purdue game in West Lafayette, the only other time the two schools have met was that same '58 season when the Boilermakers blanked the Huskers, 28-zip. Fifty-five years later, Nebraska's Blackshirts fell 39 seconds short of pitching a shutout at Purdue. A 55-yard touchdown reception spoiled that piece of trivia, but let the record show that Tommy Armstrong Jr. became the first Husker in history to score against the Boilermakers in football with a 3-yard keeper less than six minutes into the game.
2) The two former Huskers who were members of Ditka's 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears team were tight end Mitch Krenk and defensive lineman Henry Waechter. Ditka can't remember coaching many Huskers, but he has no trouble recalling those two. Krenk was a walk-on from Nebraska City. He worked his way up from seventh-team to major playing time at Nebraska. Even though he was placed on injured reserve status in '85, Ditka said Krenk (who made the Bears in both '84 and '85) was "a good man" and earned his Super Bowl ring and the bonus money that came with it. Waechter also fit in well with Ditka and earned his own niche in Super Bowl history. The Bears flattened the New England Patriots, 46-10, in New Orleans' Super Bowl XX. The lopsided game was the first to draw more than 90 million television viewers. In the fourth quarter, after former Husker/NFL Hall-of-Famer Irving Fryar caught a touchdown pass from Patriot quarterback Steve Grogan, Waechter registered the game's final two points, sacking Grogan in the end zone for a safety. A native of Epworth, Iowa, Waechter joined the Bears in 1982. He played for the Baltimore Colts in '83 before returning to the Bears in '84, '85 and '86. "Henry never said a word," Ditka told me. "He just did his job." I saw Waechter minutes after the Purdue game Saturday in West Lafayette and shared Ditka's comments. Waechter smiled. "I played for the Bears again the season after we won the Super Bowl, but Mike let me go after that, so I ended playing my last year with the Redskins," he said. "Three years after Mike cut me, he told me he made a mistake doing what he did because I was always positive, played hard and did what I was supposed to do. That meant a lot to me. I loved playing for the Bears."
3) Retired Omaha World-Herald Sports Editor Steve Sinclair is a lifelong Chicago fan who tries to attend at least one Bears' game a year at Soldier Field. He was with me when Ditka stopped to chat in his restaurant. Sinclair shared a personal story with Iron Mike that involved Ditka speaking at a University of Nebraska Medical Center banquet in Omaha. Since Osborne had been the target of statewide criticism that week more than two decades ago, Sinclair asked Ditka for his take on Osborne, a sure-fire Hall-of-Famer. "I don't know if you remember that interview, but you were very quick to support Tom, and Tom wrote a letter three days later to thank me for writing it," Sinclair told Ditka. Still a weekly NFL analyst for ESPN, Ditka had the perfect sound bite to put a wrap on the conversation: "Tom Osborne was a great coach and an even better man."

The Red Sox were never in this game. Drew's single in the fifth inning was Boston's first hit. Eric Hinske's pinch-hit double in the eighth was the second. David Murphy scored the lone Boston run, tripling with two outs in the top of the ninth and scoring on Mike Lowell's double.
For the Pads, Khalil Greene hit two home runs and singled, Josh Bard doubled, homered and drove in three runs -- Bard and Greene going back-to-back in the sixth finished Wakefield's night -- and Mike Cameron singled, doubled and scored twice.
Tim Wakefield (4.18, 108 ERA+) / Chris Young (2.26, 177 ERA+)
Young was working on another gem on Saturday in his previous start, opening the game with three scoreless and hitless innings before plunking Derrek Lee with a pitch to start the fourth frame. On his way to first base, Lee took a swing at Young and the benches cleared. Both players were ejected. Up until that point, Young had walked two and struck out two.The Red Sox pitching staff has allowed only one run over the last 28 innings and limited the opposition to 0, 1 or 2 runs in five of the last seven games.

Mystic doctor charged after entering Westerly home
A Mystic doctor with privileges to practice at both Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and The Westerly Hospital was arrested over the weekend in Westerly after police said he broke into a stranger's home.
Dr. Roy M. Main, 58, of Westerly was charged Saturday with felony breaking and entering without consent.
L+M spokesman Mike O'Farrell said Wednesday the hospital is aware of the arrest and is conducting its own internal investigation. O'Farrell said he could not comment further.
Police said Main told them he walked into a Comanche Court home thinking it was a friend's house. He was confronted by the homeowner and detained until police arrived. The incident happened around 4 a.m.
Police also said they found a small amount of marijuana in his car, but he was not charged with that. A woman was in Main's car during the incident, and she was not arrested.
Main's practice is located at 23 Clara Drive. He did not return a message left for him at his office.
Gilda Restelli said she and her husband, Mark, were awakened by Main, who turned on the lights to their second-floor bedroom.
Restelli said her husband jumped out of bed and pushed Main out of the bedroom.
"I thought I was dreaming," Restelli said. "I was hearing a voice that I didn't recognize. He kept asking for someone named Bill."
Restelli said her husband pushed Main down the stairs and held him in the kitchen until police arrived.
"He kept saying, 'I'm Dr. Main. I'm Dr. Main,'" she said. "Just because you have a license to practice medicine doesn't mean you have license to enter into someone's house."
Restelli, who's originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., said her city upbringing has taught her to be extra cautious and is certain that she locked all the doors to her home. She said that Main may have entered the dwelling through the garage, although she is certain she locked that as well. She said there were no signs of forced entry.
"As a mother, my first thought was for my children," she said. "What if he had entered one of the children's bedrooms? My daughter woke up during the incident, and she was so scared."
Restelli said her husband used restraint on Main because he believed the doctor was intoxicated.
"Maybe it was a mistake, but it was a mistake that could have had tragic consequences," she added.
Diana Lejardi, a spokeswoman at the state Department of Public Health, which oversees medical licenses, said under state law, the agency cannot confirm or deny whether there is an open investigation against Main.
Lejardi said typically that matters of this nature are investigated, and each case is reviewed on an individual basis. A determination is made as to whether or not charges will be filed with the Connecticut Medical Examining Board for their review and action.
Main was released on his personal recognizance and is scheduled to appear in Washington County Superior Court on Aug. 23.

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) has approved construction authorization from the Ohio Rail Development Commission directing Norfolk Southern (NS) and CSX to install modernized lights and gates with upgraded warning device circuitry at the interconnect of NS grade crossing (481-472X) and CSX grade crossing (518-247P) at Lincoln Avenue in the city of Columbus, Franklin County.
The railroad will be responsible for completing construction of the upgrade by August 28, 2013. Funding for this upgrade will be provided by federal funds.
To increase public safety during the construction of the projects, PUCO will assist the local governments with the cost of improvements such as, rumble strips, illumination, improved signage or other safety enhancements at the project location. Funding for the improvements will come from the State Grade Crossing Safety Fund and will not exceed $5,000.
Additionally, the state of Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) approved $25,000 from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF) to pay for a portion of a crossing-safety project near a grade crossing in the city of Pasco.
The city is seeking to install median barriers at a public railroad crossing located on West A Street. The city also is proposing to install a raised traffic curb with traffic bumpers on South First Ave. South First Ave. runs parallel to the tracks that intersect with A Street 30 feet from the crossing.
UTC staff identified the West A Street crossing for safety improvements through an analysis of 15 incidents over the past five years of motorists driving around lowered crossing gates. In addition, there have been three accidents at the crossing resulting in property damage. As a result of the analysis, UTC staff contacted the city of Pasco and BNSF and they participated in an on-site meeting to evaluate the crossing and address these safety issues. This project is a partnership between the city of Pasco, BNSF and the commission to improve public safety by reducing the ability of motorists from driving around the lowered gates at this crossing.
The upgrades must be completed by June 30, 2013. State GCPF funding is limited to $25,000 for the project. The approximate cost of the project is $66,000. The city of Pasco will pay the difference of $41,000.

Bulldogs rally to tie Lake Forest, 3-3
The Adrian College men's hockey team claimed a sixth consecutive Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season title by rallying to tie visiting Lake Forest College, 3-3, Sunday afternoon at Arrington Ice Arena.
The No.7-ranked Bulldogs (17-1-3, 13-0-3 MCHA) extended the longest current unbeaten streak in NCAA Division III to 11 games and remained undefeated in MCHA play.
"We needed a tie to get it done," said Adrian coach Ron Fogarty. "We were resilient enough to get the tie, and it's the sixth straight (MCHA title) win for us, and that's what we want -- to win a championship here. We put ourselves in position throughout the season to win it at home, and we accomplished that today."
The Bulldogs played from behind the entire game and tied it for the third time six minutes into the third period.
Chris Leone tied the game at 3 on a snap shot from inside the blue line that deflected into the Lake Forest (9-9-2, 6-8-1) net off the left post. Josh Cousineau found Leone from down low and earned an assist on the play.
The unsung hero of the game was goaltender Scott Shackell, who relieved starter James Hamby at the start of the second period trailing 2-1. Shackell made 29 saves and only allowed one power-play goal.
"Jimmy (Hamby) was struggling in there in the beginning, and we put (Shackell) in," said Fogarty. "Both are reliable, and Jimmy was a little bit off, and we didn't have any momentum so we decided to put Shack in at that point."
Luke Swaedenski put Lake Forest up 1-0 just 1:36 into the game. His shot floated toward the Adrian net and knuckled past Hamby.
The Bulldogs tied the game on the power play when Shaquille Merasty took a feed from Lukas Ciotti from behind the net and burry his 18th goal of the season from the crease.
Merasty leads all rookie scorers in Division III and is the MCHA's leading point and goal scorer.
Lake Forest took a 2-1 lead late in the first period on another goal that seemed to fool Hamby. This one, however, made its way through a maze of players before finding the back of the net.
The Bulldogs tied the game at 2 with a similar goal. Kyle Gallinger's shot from the left side seemed to have eyes and gave Adrian some life just over three minutes into the middle frame.
Adrian had its best chance at its first lead when Duston Hebebrand rang one off the post about nine minutes into the second.
After Adrian's Ryan Gieseler was flagged for tripping late in the period, the Foresters called timeout. With two Adrian players in the penalty box, Lake Forest's Ben Certo roofed the puck from the crease and off the crossbar to beat Shackell just as one of the penalties expired with less than two minutes left in the second period.
Lake Forest outshot Adrian in the contest, 45-31. The Foresters were 1-for-12 on the power play, while Adrian finished 1-for-2.
Bulldogs captain Andrew Dovey had a solid game, earning an assist on Gallinger's goal and finishing with a team-high plus-2 rating while logging prime ice time killing penalties. He also had a goal that would have given Adrian its first lead midway through the third, but it was waived off due to a high stick.
Adrian will host the MCHA Harris Cup Four at Arrington Ice Arena on March 1 and 2.
