WCSU Foundation to honor Robert and Dianne Yamin
DANBURY, CONN. — Danbury attorneys Robert and Dianne Yamin will be recognized for exemplary professional and public service at the 30th annual WestConn Society Luncheon on Friday, March 25, hosted by the Western Connecticut State University Foundation.
The couple, partners in the law firm of Yamin & Yamin, will accept the foundation's Community Service Award at the luncheon beginning at 11:30 a.m. at The Matrix, 39 Old Ridgebury Road in Danbury. The luncheon also will feature introductory remarks by WCSU President James W. Schmotter and a keynote talk by Mayor Mark D. Boughton on "Governing in the 21st Century." Admission is limited to members of the WestConn Society and their invited guests.
"Through their involvement in the community, both as public servants and as volunteers, Bob and Dianne have improved conditions throughout Connecticut," Schmotter said. "They are seemingly tireless, and are great boosters of Danbury. The Yamins are exemplars of community service."
Bob Yamin is a proud, third-generation member of Danbury's large Lebanese community. Bob graduated from Western in 1979 at the top of his class, summa cum laude, completing a double major in history and political science in two years with a 4.0 GPA. He was accepted at the Harvard Law School, where he earned his law degree, the first Western alumnus to achieve that distinction.
Bob is the managing partner of Yamin & Yamin. Since 2002 he has also served as the city of Danbury's corporation counsel and chief legal officer.
Bob is the continuing author of the Connecticut Bar Association's "Lawyers Deskbook on Residential Real Estate Transactions." From 1991 to 1995 Bob also served as the Republican leader on the Danbury City Council, and served on the Republican State Central Committee for 15 years. In January, he was elected to the board of directors of the Lebanon American Club in Danbury.
Bob recently joined the board of the WCSU Foundation.
Dianne Yamin, a third-generation Danburian, is a graduate of Lehigh University and the Mercer University School of Law. She has been elected six times as Danbury's Judge of Probate and is routinely the highest vote-getter in municipal elections.
Dianne is a partner at Yamin & Yamin, served as President Judge of the Connecticut Probate Assembly, as chair of the Mayor's Task Force of the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness and in 2010 was elected the chair of the board of directors of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce. She is a member of the advisory board for the WCSU Institute for Financial Literacy and in December was named a corporator for Savings Bank of Danbury.
Dianne was profiled in a feature article by the American Bar Association in its Summer 1995 Barrister Magazine as one of "21 Young Lawyers Leading us into the 21st Century," and in 1994 received the Statewide Connecticut Jaycees' "Connecticut Outstanding Young Citizen Award" for her public education efforts as a judge.
Bob and Dianne have two children, Rebecca and Samantha, both WCSU graduates.

Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day
When it comes to building birdhouses, there are just a few rules to follow: The projects should be simple, fun and quick to build. And the finished result should easily attract your flying friends. "Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day" is filled with 51 complete plans for projects that meet all of these requirements–a rare find in the crowded world of birdhouse books.
Meticulously researched, "Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day" is written for people who really like both building and watching birds. Each project is designed to attract a particular species (though some of them will attract several species). But that doesn't mean the projects are boring. The 12 authors of this book came up with clever and playful designs that are both a delight to build and effective shelters for birds, bats and butterflies.
In the below two excerpts, you'll find plans for a 'House Sparrow Log Cabin' and a 'Sparrow Bungalow.' Click the links below to download the free plans (PDF).

How to secure NetBSD
This is a TUT on securing NetBSD
First off if you are not to familiar with this OS you may not know this. NetBSD sends a daily report of your security. I have just recently learned this. And it has helped me on fixing all glitches and problems in my secured OS. From this I would suggest you to read all the logs at the least, i would read them weekly.
Now into closing the open ports. That should not be open lol
First off you will need a great port scanner (top of the line in my books) NMap, would be the port scanner. And here is a link to get this port scanner.
Why you should close all unnecessary open ports, is because this is a easy way into your PC/system. In which, would give hackers full access to your computer. This could lead to a very hectic situation if you get targeted for some odd reason. Or once they are into your PC they can steal info, files, etc
For firewalls on NetBSD
To get a firewall on NetBSD you will need to download the install. And the directions from this link below.
A firewall will help keep out a lot of unwanted things. Such as hackers, and spammers etc. A firewall is mainly a block. This is the easiest way to explain it.
In better terms it acts as a guard to your system determining what you do is safe or not. What you send and receive, The firewall will check for the safety of it all. It is a big body guard pretty much lol
Do not be fooled ever that a firewall is a 100% guarantee to hack safety. Or anything like that it is just another great prevention of all this mainly.
Updating your NetBSD
Updates keep your system up to date and familiar with most current problems and how to stop them or repair them. It is also a great securing method because it keeps all this up to date. You know this would be hard to do your own self lol But yes updates mainly keep your PC up to date with all problems, glitches, viruses, improvements, ups and downs pretty much.
Below here is a link to get all updates I have ever found. It is actually a link to all the links for the updates lol
Also since NetBSD is a very well known UNIX like OS. It is very secure and also complicated to use for Nix beginners,
and it is complicated to install at that.
But since i have written a install tut. An easy way to install it at that. This should not be hard at all. Granite nix is not easy in anyway shape nor form. This is an easy way for install and secure. And i gave it my best shot for simplifying it all.
and in every way i could make i easy pretty much.
And by the way here is a link to my install tut if it can help in any way if you are interested in this OS, I have provided the secure tut and install tut.
Hope it is easy for you to install and s3cur3.

Top 3 kitesurfing spots?
1. Augusta, Australia. The wind is straight onshore and the waves are blown out and 1 foot but I have so much fun kiting there. There are little waves everywhere and you can ride about 400 waves in a session. It's so perfect to practice airs and learn new moves. I've ever kited and can get big and scary and will get your blood pumping.
2. A place on the north shore of Oahu that rarely gets good and shall remained un-named. It's the best right-hander I've ever kited and can get big and scary and will get your blood pumping.
3. A spot in Madagascar that I hope to get back to some day. I didn't score it as good as it could be, but I think it has the most potential of any left I have seen yet.
Favourite gear setup?
My favorite set up at the moment would have to be a Neo and a strapless Pro CSC. The Neo turns on a dime when you need to get it in the right spot quickly to do a turn and is just does everything I want my kite to do.
Top 3 songs?
Bad Religion
Nick Drake
David Gray
Cat or dog?
I'm more of a dog guy. If I pay for vet bills and food, I want an animal that's gonna show some damn appreciation!
Vegetables or pizza/burger?
Vegetables. I want to be healthy so I can keep kiting for a long time.
Girls or boys?
Water or champagne?
Car or bike?
I'd like to say bike but the truth is that I drive everywhere I go. So American, right?! If I had a bike I would ride it though…
City or beach?
Beach for sure. Cities are fun for a day or two but I need sand between my toes and salt on my skin.
Pink or black?
Kitesurfing is the new black
Plane or road trip?
Planes. They go faster.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin is being sued by one of his brothers, who says the West Virginia Democrat and another brother never repaid a $1.7 million loan intended to keep the family's carpet business afloat.
Dr. John Manchin II filed the lawsuit in Marion County against the senator and Roch Manchin.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, says Joe and Roch Manchin received a loan of more than $1.7 million from John Manchin in the late 1980s to help the then-struggling business with the promise of repayment. No payments have been made.
John Manchin says that a July 2012 agreement made by the brothers allowed him to take one-third interest in coal and other related businesses by Joe and Roch Manchin if there was a delay in repayment.
But the lawsuit says the brothers' general partnership was dissolved without John Manchin's knowledge, with funds and assets transferred to a partnership controlled by Joe Manchin and his son, Joseph Manchin IV.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensation for John Manchin's losses and the awarding of one-third ownership in all coal reserves and businesses formed through the brothers' partnership.
Jonathan Kott, a spokesman for the senator, said the lawsuit was a family matter and declined comment Friday. Roch Manchin didn't immediately return a telephone message left at his carpet business.


text: That iconic '60s song resonates deeply with the Beach Boys' Mike Love -- and not just because he co-wrote it. These days, it's also something of an ode to how his life has improved, thanks to chiropractic care. "In more than 50 years of performing over 100 shows a year, I've traveled by car, van, bus, train, plane and occasional boat," he says of the toll all that touring has taken on his body. "Chiropractors have helped me remain mobile and pain-free." That makes Love, who's a big supporter of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, one of the growing number of Americans who've turned to what the journal Chiropractic & Manual Therapies calls "one of the most frequently utilized types of complementary and alternative care by older adults." In fact, an estimated 14 percent of patients cared for by chiropractors are age 65 and over. And while many older adults seek chiropractic care for its high patient-satisfaction scores and relief from musculoskeletal pain, chiefly back and neck pain, that's not all they're consulting such doctors about. The same C&MT article also noted that chiropractors help manage patients' health conditions through lifestyle counseling, including exercise and nutritional support. As for the lead singer of the Beach Boys, whose biggest-selling hit, "Kokomo," reached number one in 1988, he still loves performing in front of audiences worldwide. "With my active lifestyle," he says, "I use regular chiropractic care as a complement to my daily practice of transcendental meditation and hatha yoga."

I been buying cards on ebay for years now. I see cards that are selling for a certian price and then I see the same card for buy it now for double or triple the price of the last one that sold, numbering is all the same. I dont know why people expect to get these prices for their cards, when they will never get these prices for them. Maybe they think that someone who knows nothing about cards will buy it not knowing better. I thought maybe they just want to showcase their card as a way to get people

Legislative ethics: NH way works better than mostEDITORIAL
March 08. 2014 11:12PM
New Hampshire's Legislature is a peculiar institution. It is one of the largest deliberative bodies in the world, its 400-member House balanced, constitutionally, by a Senate of just 24 members. Outside of mileage reimbursements, their pay is largely ceremonial. They must stand for election every two years.
And yet, it works. The Legislature, or General Court, was put together this way purposely to keep it close to the people it represents. It is said that if you aren't in the Legislature yourself, your neighbor probably is.
That closeness keeps the representatives more in touch with constituents than they would otherwise be; and the lack of any sort of salary discourages people from making the position a fulltime job.
Which is why legislators, unless they are retirees or college students, are otherwise gainfully employed, most in the private sector. That is also another good thing about the system. People working for a living tend to know the problems that businesses face and are thus more informed and aware when legislation is proposed that affects businesses.
Which is why the public and legislators should guard against making ethics rules so overly broad and sweeping that they prevent legislators from working or prevent working men and women from serving in Concord.
As a former attorney general noted to us recently, we can either have a citizen Legislature, where transparency usually takes care of the occasional and inevitable conflict of interest, or we can chuck a system that works in favor of "professional politicians" who would command big salaries and bigger staffs, but still not be immune to conflicts.
We will take the New Hampshire way, thank you.

Tips to help you remember
So long as your brain is healthy, it is capable of learning new things and remembering what you want to remember, says Paul Nussbaum, senior brain health advisor to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America and president of the Brain Health Center in Wexford, Pa.
The key is to give your brain a little help:
Write lists. If you need something from the grocery, write it down. If you have appointments, keep a written calendar. Post the lists and calendar on the refrigerator so you are more likely to see them regularly.
Follow routines. Get in the habit of always putting your car keys on the table near the back door. Or keeping your reading glasses on the table next to your bed. If you put things in their place, finding them will be easier.
Set alarms. If you have to take several different pills at several different times each day, organize them in a pill box and set an alarm to go off on your phone, your watch, or your alarm clock to remind you that it's time to take your medicine.
Slow down. Stress can wreak havoc on our bodies and our brains. Take a deep breath (or several), slow down, and focus on one thing at a time.
Be social. Spending time with others having fun, talking, playing cards, or simply having a conversation are all ways to help your brain and your memory.
Learn how to know if memory lapses are "senior moments" or something more serious.
Try these puzzles to help keep your brain in shape: crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and word search puzzles.

August 1965. Cal Poly's San Luis Obispo campus underwent a building boom in the early 1960s, still prime time for Mid-Century Modern architecture (earlier I posted
another example
). Here we have the college's Administration Building a year after it opened, the landscaping so new it looks like an architect's rendering. My Kodachrome slide also captured these cars: first, something of a rarity, a sporty French Facel Vega; next, a 1965 Oldsmobile Starfire Coupe; finally, part of a 1964 Dodge, the part that shows that Chrysler Corporation's "Forward Look" was now a thing of the past. I took this shot at my brother's alma mater on either the way to or the way back from a visit to my sister and her family in Diamond Bar which, incidentally, is near Cal Poly's Pomona campus.

By Laura Zuckerman
(Reuters) - Montana's Supreme Court on Friday barred a trial judge from revising a widely scorned 30-day jail term he imposed on an ex-teacher convicted of raping one of his students, ruling the judge lacked authority to amend the original sentence unilaterally.
Instead, the high court will review the validity of the sentence in a lengthy appeals process initiated earlier this week by the Montana attorney general, which will likely extend well beyond the September 25 release date set for the defendant, Stacey Rambold, prosecutors said.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh drew a torrent of criticism after sentencing the former Billings high school instructor to a month in jail for the 2007 rape of 14-year-old Cherice Moralez, who killed herself three years later before the case could go to trial.
The outcry from women's groups and victim's advocates was inflamed all the more by remarks from the judge during the sentencing hearing suggesting the victim was partly to blame. He said the girl had seemed older than her years and was "probably as much in control of the situation" as her teacher.
The episode sparked demonstrations outside the judge's courtroom office last week and calls for his resignation.
Montana Attorney General Tim Fox asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to overturn the sentence as too lenient, arguing that the jail term imposed by the judge fell fall short of the mandatory minimum penalty of two years in prison.
Baugh has since apologized for his remarks and acknowledged that he likely ran afoul of state sentencing laws. He then set a hearing for Friday to consider amending Rambold's sentence.
But the attorney general challenged that move as outside Baugh's legal authority, asserting that only the state or the defendant could appeal a prison term on grounds that it was illegally rendered.
The state's Supreme Court justices agreed on Friday, ruling 4-2 that Baugh could not alter the sentence on his own and ordered the planned hearing halted.
"We conclude that the stated intent of the District Court (Baugh) to alter the initially imposed oral sentence in today's scheduled hearing is unlawful and that the proceeding should be arrested," the court said.
The high court did not comment on the validity of the sentence itself, an issue the justices will take up separately under appeal from the attorney general.
The months-long appeals process spelled out under state law is certain to run far past Rambold's 30-day jail term. He is likely to be placed on supervised probation by the state Department of Corrections when he is released, Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said.
Rambold's lawyer, Jay Lansing, argued in court documents filed on Thursday that the judge gave his client a "lawful and appropriate sentence" that should remain unchanged.
Rambold, 54, was charged in 2008 with three counts of sexual intercourse without consent, the equivalent of a rape charge in Montana, linked to Moralez, who had been a student in a technology class he taught at Senior High School in Billings.
Moralez killed herself in 2010 before the case could go to trial, hampering a prosecution that hinged on her testimony. Her mother, Auliea Hanlon, has said Rambold's actions were a "major factor" in her daughter's decision to take her own life.
The death led prosecutors later that year to strike a deal in which Rambold admitted to a single count of rape in exchange for a three-year postponement of the case and dismissal if he completed sex-offender treatment.
Prosecutors reinstated the case after being notified last year that Rambold, who was suspended in 2008 from his teaching post and later surrendered his teaching certificate, had been dismissed from the program for violating its rules.
In April, Rambold pleaded guilty to a single count of rape stemming from the 2007 assault in his home.
Baugh did not respond to requests for comment.

Army Of Darkness Video Shots & DVD Releases
Dave Beamish has put his social life aside, and taken an in-depth look at the many DVD releases of the cult film Army of Darkness....
Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up ... as some of you know, Army Of Darkness mainly comes in two flavours: the 82-min Theatrical (Universal) Cut and 96-min Director's (International) Cut. The former has been readily available on VHS, LD and DVD from the original distributors at Universal. However fans cried out for someone ... anyone ... to dig up the long-lost Director's Cut, since the only version available at this time was the OOP Japanese Laserdisc entitled Captain Supermarket. There were many different video releases of this movie which have presented some of the extra footage in question, but none of these versions ever housed the Director's Cut in its entirety the way the director intended.Anchor Bay answered the call (sort of) by delivering their 'Limited Edition' 2-disc DVD set with the Theatrical Cut in a brand new THX-approved transfer and the Director's Cut in a not-so-viewable transfer. Initially, only the THX'd Theatrical Cut was released separately and there were no similar plans for the Director's Cut at this time. Eventually though, these same two discs have been repackaged and reissued a number of times over. But to make matters worse, the less-than-acceptable presentation of the Director's Cut was never improved upon with each re-release - it was always the same encoding from the original 2-disc edition whereby the image and audio were located from mediocre VHS sources—a valiant effort, but not good enough really. MGM finally sorted out an amicable distribution deal with Universal to re-master the original film-stock and sound mix sources to release the Director's Cut in the way it was meant to be seen and heard. The only other DVD title that probably exceeds this level of reissue complexity is the original Evil Dead movie. What follows is a brief but descriptive rundown of the DVDs released so far and a series of screenshot comparisons for your own examination. There's also an ultimate DVD-Buyer's Guide for this movie at the end of this weblink ... it should help to avoid the headaches that all previous buyers have had to endure when choosing which DVDs will end up in their Deadite Movie Memorabilia. DVDs released This listing is by no means complete, but it gives you a pretty good idea of what's around :-
|Region 1 - Theatrical Cut - Universal issued 18 Aug 1998 - Theatrical Cut (82-min) - widescreen presentation but not 16:9 enhanced, AC3 2.0 sound, production notes, cast & filmmaker's bios, trailer, subtitles in English
|Region 1 - 2-disc Limited Edition - Anchor Bay issued 12 Oct 1999 - Theatrical Cut (82-min) & Director's Cut (96-min) on separate discs - read the next two items for info on each disc - (production run of 30,000 copies in U.S. and 4,000 copies in Canada)
|Region 1 -Theatrical Cut (THX) - Anchor Bay issued 19 Oct 1999 - Theatrical Cut (82-min) - THX-approved transfer, 16:9 and 4:3 presentations, AC3 5.1 sound, "The Men Behind The Army" 20-min featurette, includes separate "Apocalyptic ending", talent bios, trailer, no subtitles
|Region 1 - Director's Cut Limited Edition - Anchor Bay issued 25 Jul 2000 - Director's Cut (96-min) - poor 16:9 presentation, AC3 2.0 sound, audio commentary with Sam/Ivan Raimi and Bruce Campbell, 4 deleted scenes, director's storyboards, no subtitles - (production run of 40,000 copies in U.S.)
|Region 1 - Official Bootleg Edition - Anchor Bay issued 23 Oct 2001 - Director's Cut (96-min) - same content as original R1 Director's Cut Limited Edition release
|Region 2 - Double Disc Presentation - Anchor Bay issued 11 Nov 2002 - Theatrical Cut (82-min) & Director's Cut (96-min) on separate discs - same content as original R1 2-Disc Limited Edition release, includes additional DTS 5.1 sound on the THX'd Theatrical Cut
|Region 3 - Director's Cut - MGM issued 26 Feb 2003 - Director's Cut (96-min) - much improved 16:9 presentation, AC3 5.1 sound - same extras as original R1 Director's Cut Limited Edition release except no storyboards, includes separate "S-Mart ending", trailer, also contains subtitles in English and various Asian dialects
|Region 1 - 2-disc Boomstick Edition - Anchor Bay issued 04 Mar 2003 - Theatrical Cut (82-min) & Director's Cut (96-min) on separate discs - same content as original R1 2-Disc Limited Edition release, includes 8-page collector's booklet
|Screenshot Comparisons
For the sake of simplicity, these images belong to the R1 Anchor Bay Director's Cut DVD- R1 Anchor Bay Theatrical Cut (THX-approved) DVD- R3 MGM Director's Cut DVD
|Ultimate DVD-Buyer's Guide
If you'd like to acquire both cuts of this movie and have as much supplemental material as possible ... buy the R1 Anchor Bay (THX'd) Theatrical Cut and R3 MGM Director's Cut DVDs. With this powerful combination, you get the groovy "The Men Behind The Army" documentary from the Anchor Bay R1 disc and possess the awesomely looking & sounding Director's Cut from the MGM R3 disc (with subtitles finally). All you would miss out on is the director's storyboards that run alongside the R1 Director's Cut from Anchor Bay, but this should be no great loss. Word has just come through that MGM will release their re-mastered transfer of the Director's Cut in R2 UK, so now British and Aussie fans can finally watch this long-awaited version in their preferred PAL TV format. And Anchor Bay have decided to bring out a four-disc box set of all three Evil Dead movies for R1 which will contain exclusive never-seen-before extras on the fourth disc—details to follow. As for the first two movies in this Trilogy ... Elite once produced my personal favourite incarnations of these flicks with the Special Collector's Edition DVD of Evil Dead and the very rare blood-red Laserdisc of Evil Dead II (both now OOP). Anchor Bay also came out with their own editions, but the authentically replicated "Necronomicon: Book of the Dead" (THX'd) DVD of Evil Dead crops the original 4:3 image into a 16:9 widescreen presentation, and the Special Edition (THX'd) DVD of Evil Dead II houses a remixed 5.1 soundtrack which I feel is inferior to the fuller-sounding mono one on the Elite Laserdisc. The Evil Dead Trilogy has had the most chequered history of all video releases, so it's with great relief that we may get to see the end of all this distribution malarky and finally put the Deadites to rest.

JOHANNESBURG – Michael Bradley scored a dramatic equalizer in the 82nd minute as the US rallied from a two-goal deficit to draw a tough Slovenia side 2-2 at Ellis Park on Friday night, effectively rescuing the Americans from early elimination at the World Cup.
The US were eight minutes from a loss, which would have put Slovenia atop the group with six points and the Americans at the mercy of the England-Algeria result later on Friday.
And disaster was nearly in the cards. Bob Bradley elected to give possession-oriented midfielder José Francisco Torres the start in central midfield alongside his son Michael, a move aimed at trying to control the pace of the game and create a goal.
But the lack of physicality in the midfield left a gaping hole, and Milivoje Novakovic took immediate advantage of the size mismatch. Bradley had warned all week about the creativity and mobility of the 6-foot-3 striker, and the US quickly learned why.
Thirteen minutes in, Novakovic made the sloppy US defense pay, surging into the area right at Jay DeMerit and slotting the ball across to Valter Birsa. With time and space, the Auxerre winger set and calmly chipped it over a flat-footed Tim Howard, putting the US at an early deficit for a second straight match.
The US looked dazed and spent most of the rest of the half trying to regain their composure. They finally pushed forward in the 36th minute, and Torres tested Samir Handandovic with a free kick. Minutes later, Landon Donovan came close to equalizing, but right back Miso Brecko cleared his effort off the goalmouth.
Just when the Americans seemed to find some rhythm, Slovenia struck again. The US back line again lost its composure in the 42nd minute. Winger Andraz Kirm made a nice pass to Aleksandar Radosavljevic, who beat Oguchi Onyewu and put the ball underneath a diving Howard.
Bradley yanked the ineffective Torres at the half and replaced him with the more physical Maurice Edu. Control specialist Benny Feilhaber replaced Findley, pushing Clint Dempsey up top alongside Jozy Altidore.
That may have been the spark the US needed, as they responded right after the restart. In the 48th, Steve Cherundolo's long lead pass found Donovan up the right side as Slovenian defender Marko Suler slipped. The LA Galaxy captain advanced down the byline and roofed a shot to the far post past Handanovic to open the Americans' account.
The US threatened several times in the second half but couldn't finish. In the 50th, Onyewu narrowly missed getting on the end of a Donovan free kick. Twenty minutes later, Altidore hammered a rebound off another Donovan free kick right at Handanovic.
Herculez Gomez came off the bench in the 80th minute for Onyewu as Bradley added attackers to press for a late equalizer. It paid off almost immediately. Two minutes later, Altidore headed down a long ball by Donovan into the path of a streaking Michael Bradley, who smashed it past Handanovic for the equalizer.
The US thought they had scored a winner three minutes later when Edu buried another Donovan free kick, but the ref blew for a foul against the US.
With a second consecutive draw, the US now have two points through two matches, making their group-stage finale on June 23 against Algeria hugely important. Slovenia sit atop the group with four points, and England can tie them with a win over the Algerians later Friday.
Scoring Summary:
SVN – Birsa, 13'
SVN – Ljubijankic, 42'
USA – Donovan, 48'
USA - Bradley, 82'
USA -- Howard, Cherundolo, DeMerit, Onyewu (Gomez, 80'), Bocanegra, Torres (Edu, 45'), Bradley, Dempsey, Donovan, Altidore, Findley (Feilhaber, 45').

The 2013 NFL draft is still 77 days away, but draft analysts from across the media platform are weighing in on the process via their own mock drafts. To help survey the current landscape, we rounded up the many picks and opinions of the top draft analysts.
Here are the trendy players being mocked to the Green Bay Packers at No. 26 overall:
RB Eddie Lacy, Alabama
Mel Kiper, ESPN: "...for a franchise that has lacked dynamic play at the position for way too long, Lacy could fill a need, allowing them to do more than simply "show" the run, but to gain some legitimate value out of it."
Comment: The Packers haven't had a physical, move-the-pile running back like the 220-pound Lacy in some time. Combined with DuJuan Harris, Lacy could give Green Bay's ability to run the football a real punch in 2013. But would general manager Ted Thompson really pull the trigger on a running back in the first round? He hasn't found big hits with second-rounder Brandon Jackson or third-rounder Alex Green, so there may be a hesitancy to draft the position so early.
DL Johnathan Jenkins, Georgia
Todd McShay, ESPN: "...it's tough to find massive pluggers with some mobility like Jenkins. He and B.J. Raji would give Green Bay versatility along its defensive front, and Jenkins could bolster a run defense that ranked in the bottom third of the NFL in yards per carry allowed at 4.5."
Comment: Ryan Pickett isn't going to be around forever, so Jenkins makes some sense here. The 358-pounder is big, strong and quicker than his size would suggest. However, Jenkins would provide very little in terms of interior pass rush, and his size would likely limit his snap count from game-to-game. Jenkins was also suspended for the 2012 Capital One Bowl for academic reasons.
C Travis Frederick, Wisconsin
Gil Brandt, NFL.com: "With Jeff Saturday likely on his way out, Frederick, who can play center and guard, could step in and help the Packers right away."
Comment: Few consider Frederick a first-round talent, and even less have him as the top overall center in the 2013 class. Maybe the Packers brass feels differently. That said, you get the feeling that Green Bay feels comfortable going into next season with Evan Dietrich-Smith as the team's starting center.
S Johnathan Cyprien, FIU
Josh Norris, Rotoworld: "Cyprien is an interchangeable, physical safety with range and aggression. I have a feeling the NFL has been high on him for quite some time, with those on the outside now starting to catch up."
Comment: Cyprien's stock is on the rise. He wowed scouts and media alike at the Senior Bowl, and the consensus is his tape at FIU matches the performance he put together in Mobile. The Packers may not want to give up on Jerron McMillian or M.D. Jennings, but Cyprien has the kind of rangy skill set that better mirrors what Green Bay lost in Nick Collins (neck).
LB Alec Ogletree, Georgia
Dane Brugler, CBS Sports: "For most of the season, it seemed evident that the Packers needed to add more speed on defense and that was never more true than Green Bay's loss in the playoffs to San Francisco. Ogletree isn't the most natural fit in a 3-4 defense, but his rangy athleticism allows him to be used in a variety of ways."
Comment: Dom Capers would have to get creative to use Ogletree in the 3-4 defense. While possessing tremendous athleticism, Ogletree is just 234 pounds and lacking the frame needed to play every down in the Packers' front seven. He was also suspended four games for violating the school's substance abuse policy.
T D.J. Fluker, Alabama
Rob Rang, CBS Sports: "There is no simpler way to put it: the Packers offensive line lacks toughness and physicality - two of Fluker's most impressive traits."
Comment: If the Packers are willing to move Bryan Bulaga to left tackle, Fluker becomes an interesting selection. A starting five (left to right) of Bulaga, T.J. Lang, Evan Dietrich-Smith, Josh Sitton and Fluker in 2013 could be a very good group. How the Packers view Marshall Newhouse's hold at left tackle and Derek Sherrod's recovery will decide how important offensive tackle is in this draft.
WR Keenan Allen, Cal
Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: "In the Packers' wide-open passing game, Allen would be a dangerous asset and would fill a big need at wide receiver."
Comment: A "big" need at receiver is probably a stretch, but I'd say it's more likely that the Packers take a receiver in the first round than a running back. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones are a strong trio, but injuries devastated this group in 2012. Losing Greg Jennings and Donald Driver will sap the Packers of their depth at a very important position.
RB Montee Ball, Wiscosnsin
Don Banks, Sports Illustrated: "...The Packers know what Ball has done down in Madison the past three years, and let's face it, all the guy does is score touchdowns. Believe it or not, there's still a place for that in the NFL."
Comment: Is Ball a first-round talent? That's hard to say, but giving Ball to the Packers in the first round seems lazy. I'd be shocked if Thompson writes Ball's name on a first-round card in April.
Other common names:
DL Jesse Williams, Alabama: Few players in this class will be stronger than Williams. His ability to anchor at the point and collapse the pocket from the interior should make Williams a very attractive addition at the five-technique.
OL Barrett Jones, Alabama: Jones' experience and talent at tackle, guard and center could make him a versatile addition up front. But is Jones a first-round talent at any one position? Or his value inflated because of that versatility? That's an important question to ask when mocking him in the first 32 picks.
LB Manti Te'o, Notre Dame: Te'o's bizarre catfishing story might hurt his draft stock. He's a tough sell for me in Green Bay, especially after watching Alabama's offense maul him up and down the field in the National Championship game.

What year did you start tattooing?
I first began drawing in 1998 under the guidance of my mentor, Shane Little, and I did my first tattoo in 2001. But through life, love, and family it truly started whole-heartedly in September of 2005.
How did you get into tattooing?
My friend and mentor, Shane Little. Once upon a time, my year 10 teacher, Mr. Henry, said, "There is a girl at school that has tattoos similar to your drawings—she would love your art." That day at lunch, Sarah [the girl] came over to see my work and said, "You just have to meet Shane." So next lunch I skipped school and went to meet him. I fell in love with his art and vision straightaway. We would draw together and he would show me and tell me so many things, and he still does to this day. I now have his son working with me, and Shane is always popping in and telling us of all the prophets of doom and death. He is the dark wizard.
What was your first shop experience like?
Very much old-school. I was the shop slave, did all the artist stencils, draw ups, set up, clean down, shop clean, made all the needles for everyone, dealt with bookings, along with other things. It was certainly the complete opposite of the environment I have now created for my studio.
What brought you to open up Garage Ink?
When Shane retired I knew I needed to make a studio with the same dream as his, and that was to create an environment for artists to grow and learn from each other, to come and go as they please, and to create no pressure—just to teach love and show understanding for clients and each other. The clients are number one in our shop. If you don't give respect, how can you have respect, truth, honesty, and just flat-out fun?
Do you have any special training?
Well, I could step over the line, but let's keep it G-rated. [Laughs.] I have a diploma of visual arts and new media, also in marketing and management and photography. I also know how to nearly touch my toes. Not quite there yet, but it's my dream and I'm going to make it happen!
What conventions have you done recently or are planning to do this year?
Melbourne convention in November 2013, and Hamilton, New Zealand, in February 2014.
How do you describe your style?
Not too sure—probably a lot of freehand fantasy with a realistic twist.
What inspires you as an artist?
Happiness, love, and expression of one's desires, to create from my heart. And, of course, all the amazing artists I follow on Instagram. Thank you guys so much! I'm being inspired every day!
What other media do you work in?
My main medium in the last two years has been pencil, but recently I've tried oils, and man oh man, am I in love!
What tattoo artists do you admire most?
All my team in the studio inspire me every day. I love Fabz, Carlos Torres, Carl Grace, Nikko [Hurtado], Niki Norberg, Moni [Marino], Emily Rose Murray, Jasmin Austin, Dmitry Vision, 613, Victor Portugal, Bob Tyrrell, Paul Booth, Josh Duffy, Dean Lawton, and Daniel Rocha, just to name a few. There are just too many.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
Girls and dark gothic—I love the suggestive curves of a woman's body. I try to capture the love, the pain, sadness, or lost longing in the eyes' emotion when I do faces.
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them?
That I'm only going to do the best tattoo I can do, and to have trust in me.
What is the tattoo scene like in Australia?
Very cool. I have made some amazing, lifelong friends in the indus- try here in Australia, as well as all over the world.

As Benets boys basketball team took the court Saturday at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, the scene felt eerily familiar for Pat McInerney and Sean OMara.
But in a good way.
It was the first time in two years the Redwings played in the National Guard High School Hoops Showdown. In 2011 they beat Glenbard East and compiled a 29-0 mark before suffering a sectional semifinal loss to East Aurora.
Following Saturdays 46-35 win over Naperville Central, McInerney talked about the similarities between this season and 2010-11. Aside from McInerney, the only non-senior starter two years ago, and OMara being on that team, the string of success also has been similar.
It brings back pretty good memories from beating Glenbard East two years ago, McInerney said. Its obviously an awesome environment playing on a big stage in a huge arena. You dont really get that opportunity many times in high school.
Like 2010-11, the Redwings are heading back to the McDonalds City-Suburban Showdown on Feb. 23 at House of Hope Arena in Chicago. Benet beat Simeon two years ago in the shootout, and this year it faces powerful Whitney Young.
Benet enters Fridays East Suburban Catholic Conference matchup against St. Viator with a 19-3 overall record and a 4-0 mark in the ESCC. Coming off thrilling wins over Notre Dame and Marian Catholic, the Redwings aim to keep their grip on first place in the league.
Second-half resurgence;
Waubonsie Valley coach Steve Weemer recently bumped into Tom McCloskey, former Montini coach now at Riverside-Brookfield, and gave him an update on the Warriors.
I told him, Since we saw you (at Yorks holiday tournament) I think we really took on a new turn.
The Warriors (16-7, 5-4 Upstate Eight Valley) have won six of seven games since falling to R-B in the third-place game at York on Dec. 19. The sole loss was a 50-47 decision at Neuqua Valley that came down to the final seconds.
Weemer said a couple things have aided the resurgence.
One, senior forward Bryan Jefferson has played more consistently, more within himself. Not scoring less than 12 points in this span with a 26-point game against Lincoln-Way East, the 6-foot-7 forward is not trying to force things or constantly finish at the basket.
I think one of the biggest factors since Christmas is Bryan Jefferson has really come into his own, Weemer said.
Another factor is overall defense. Weemer cited Dylan Warden, Javares Stewart, Matt Gialamas and Jack Cordes in this vein.
Those glue guys have really stepped it up and have done a nice job, Weemer said.
Climbing the chart:
Waubonsie senior Jared Brownridge has a shot at finishing second all-time in program scoring. The Santa Clara-bound guard entered the season sixth with 992 points, and his 451 points this season have moved him to fourth.
The Warriors all-time mark of 1,753 points by George Poulikidas looks safe, but Brownridge could pass No. 2 Lance Broderson (1,513 points) and No. 3 Mason Stewart (1,505) before the seasons through. Waubonsie has four regular-season games remaining and at least one playoff game. Brownridge owns one program record with eight 3-point baskets in a game his sophomore season.
Ups and downs:
In a short span of five days, Naperville Central endured all the highs and lows accompanying a brutal schedule.
It began Friday with a 68-47 DuPage Valley Conference win over Glenbard East, which was previously unbeaten in the DVC. The next night the Redhawks fell 46-35 to Benet, leader in the East Suburban Catholic Conference, and on Tuesday they lost 57-52 at West Aurora, which is now tied for first in the DVC.
Not to make any excuses, but our kids played awfully well (Friday) night in a big game that we needed to have and prepared all week for, said Redhawks coach Pete Kramer. (Saturdays) game we didnt have too much preparation at all.
The tough stretch didnt just arrive for those five days. Naperville Central boasts one of the areas toughest schedules, a list of games that includes Proviso East, Oswego, Notre Dame and St. Viator. Thats in addition to two games against Glenbard East and West Aurora.
Slow burn:
Hinsdale Central was quite content laying in the weeds while stringing together a strong season.
That happy place officially disappeared last weekend.
The Red Devils notched their sixth and seventh straight wins with back-to-back victories over Downers Grove North and Oak Park. By beating the Huskies 53-45 in Oak Park, Hinsdale Central (13-5, 7-1) claimed sole possession of first place in the always treacherous West Suburban Silver.
Weve been able to close out a lot of games we didnt close out early in the year, said Hinsdale Central coach Nick Latorre. Our conference is so balanced, its tough not to lose along the way.
Headed by 6-foot-7 sophomore center Matt Rafferty and senior guard Brian Owens, Hinsdale Centrals unbeaten January is attributed to a balanced lineup even into its bench. Only four times this season has the leading scorer reached 20 points.
With a one-game lead atop the Silver standings and four games remaining, Hinsdale Central has plenty of work remaining. And no one will be looking past the Red Devils.
If we have a target on our back, I dont know, Latorre said. Maybe were still a team that gets overlooked a little bit.
Confidence game
Tuesday Montini coach Brian Opoka visited IC Catholic Prep, scouting the Knights game against Wheaton Academy. IC (16-5) and Montini (14-6) square off Friday in Elmhurst, each 6-1 in the Suburban Christian Gold.
The smiling Opoka clearly was enjoying himself, scouting a game with conference title ramifications ahead of him. Hes taken the Broncos a long way from the three-, four- and six-win seasons of his first three years at Montini.
ICs loss to Wheaton Academy, and Montinis 68-64 loss Jan. 25 to third-place St. Edward, gives each contender losses in their last games.
IC coach T.J. Tyrrell still sees Fridays contest as a battle between teams sure of their abilities.
Theyve got some new guys this year with (Simmie) Cobbs, him settling in, Tyrrell said. Theyve been playing very good basketball as well. Their confidence is very high, too. Our confidence is good right now but their confidence is up there as well.
The deciding factor?
Who wants it more, Tyrrell said, and whos ready to play?

MANASQUAN, N.J. (AP) — Since Superstorm Sandy smashed the Jersey shore, owners of flood-damaged homes up and down the coast feared something else might happen to their properties, sitting vacant and largely unwatched.
Those fears came true for a dozen homeowners Wednesday morning in this popular Jersey shore beach town, which is still reeling from damage Sandy inflicted in October.
An early morning fire damaged 12 houses on or near the beachfront, destroying two.
The one small bit of good news was that because most of the homes had already been damaged by the storm, they were not occupied when the fire broke out and no one was injured. Still the fire touched an exposed nerve.
"We were all worried about looting, but the town and the National Guard did a great job of protecting the area. But now this," said Allyson Aiello, who lives a few doors down from where the fire began and whose home was not damaged by it.
As fire crews mopped up, debris cleanup from the storm continued along the beachfront. A front-end loader scooped sand and building rubble from a storm-damaged home across from the two homes that were destroyed by the fire.
Fire Chief Mike Galos said the blaze broke out at 5:41 a.m. in a house on First Avenue that had come through the storm relatively unscathed. It spread to an adjacent home, destroying both. Ten other houses nearby and on the Manasquan beachfront suffered various degrees of damage.
Galos said he knew of no obvious cause for the fire, but noted that electric and natural gas services had recently been restored to the area.
"It could have been electrical, it could have been a contractor, or it could have been something else entirely," he said.
The chief said there was no explosion or other typical indication of a natural gas-fed fire, but said nothing has been ruled out yet.
Some of the homes damaged by the fire had come through the storm with repairable damage, and repairs had already begun on some and could have contributed to the rapid spread of the flames in the house where the fire began.
"It was being renovated after the storm, so there was no sheet rock or interior walls," Galos said. "It allowed for rapid travel (of flames) to neighboring houses."
The close proximity of homes along the beachfront also played a role in the spread of the fire; no more than five feet separates some homes.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Charlotte Collins Brooks passed away Sunday, April 20, 2014, at the age of 78. She was born and raised in Cameron, Texas, on Aug. 28, 1935, and had lived in Beaumont, Texas, and Washington, D.C. for the past 60 years. A memorial service for Mrs. Brooks will be 6 p.m., Thursday, April 24, 2014, at Broussard's, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont, with a gathering of her family and friends to follow.
In a PowerPoint slideshow and presentation at a workshop of the Jefferson County Commissioners Court on Monday, April 22, Jack Brooks Regional Airport Manager Alex Rupp offered an update on the airport and the success of the new American Airlines American Eagle route from Jack Brooks to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
In the end, it was fitting that the memorial service billed as a celebration of the life of Congressman Jack Brooks was held at Lamar University, a place close to his heart for more than 70 of his 89 years.
The message from the family came suddenly, without warning.
"Long-term area Congressman Jack Brooks died this evening, Dec. 4, 2012, at Beaumont Baptist Hospital after a sudden illness. Congressman Brooks, just shy of his 90th birthday, passed peacefully surrounded by his family. The family asks that our privacy be respected as we grieve our loss."

Chili Cookoff Fashion
Fashion snobs may look down their surgically altered noses at the country couture worn at Sunday's 27th annual KISS Country Chili Cookoff, but they shouldn't. There was plenty of style -- much of it hot as a chili pepper -- at the music festival held at C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines. Many seemed to have a go-to uniform of sorts. The sold-out event was a sea of denim Daisy Dukes with cowboy boots, often paired with bandanna tops for the ladies. For the gents, cargo shorts or jeans with sleeveless tees. Plaid and camouflage were the patterns of choice. And there was a surprising amount of pink. - Rod Stafford Hagwood

Where do you even start in Peru? Machu Picchu, the Peruvian Amazon, the Nazca Lines or a zesty pisco sour? Decisions, decisions.
When you travel to Peru, you're setting yourself up for a pretty mind-expanding adventure.
You've got the Inca Trail to hike, Machu Picchu to explore, guinea pig to eat, poison dart frogs to avoid, Pisco sours to consume and the Nazca Lines to get your head around.
Then there's trekking in the Amazon jungle, exploring the reed islands of Lake Titicaca, keeping your eyes peeled for Andean condors in Colca Canyon and moseying around the white city of Arequipa. If travelling Peru doesn't leave you satisfied, it might just be because you haven't eaten enough guinea pig.
What people say
Great trip! Such an adventure of Peru in-depth.... Great experiences including trekking to Machu Picchu, local homestay, jungle lodge experience! Highly recommended for travellers with an adventurous flare!
What people say
This trip is jam packed full of amazing things and provides an excellent coverage of southern Peru. Local guides and the homestay enable you to get to know local people better and feel less like a standard tourist. Colca Canyon and doing the Inca Trail to get to Machu Picchu were definitely the highlight plus the awesome people be got to meet along the way!
Peru travel highlights
Machu Picchu
Mountains, mystery and some seriously ancient ruins - you'll have Machu to write home about after visiting this divine Wonder of the World.
Eat your way through Lima's delicious food scene and see why so many call Peru's capital the world's best food city.
Lake Titicaca
Defy logic while standing on Lake Titicaca's famous floating islands, which is made entirely out of reeds by the Uros people (who still live on them!).
This ancient city is the gateway to countless Inca ruins and wild adventures – choose to white-water raft down the Tampobata River or marvel at the Puma-shaped fortress of Sacsayhuaman.
Sacred Valley
A visit to Ollantaytambo – a village with some amazing Inca ruins in the Sacred Valley – isn't complete without climbing its steep terraces for some breath-taking views.

Some restaurants add a 10% service charge to your bill. At restaurants that don't do this, it's customary to add spare change or a small amount to the bill.
Internet can be accessed at hotels and internet cafes in large cities, but is quite limited in rural and remote areas.
Mobile phone coverage is generally good in Peru's cities, but may not be available in more remote and mountainous areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.
Peru has a mix of both squat toilets and western-style flushable toilets. It's a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, as they are not always provided. Some public toilets charge a small usage fee. Expect to use squat toilets if travelling on the Inca Trail.
One hour of internet use in a cyber cafe = USD 0.90
Bottle of local beer = USD 1.25
Lunch in a cafe = USD 4
Sit-down dinner at a nice restaurant = USD 10 – USD 20
Drinking water isn't recommended in Peru. Avoid drinks with ice and make sure to peel fruit before eating it. Help the environment and try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle with filtered water. Your leader or hotel can tell you where to find filtered water.
Most hotels, large retailers and tourist attractions accept credit cards but will usually charge a fee (about 7%) for using them. Expect to pay cash when dealing with small vendors, family-run restaurants and market vendors.
ATMs are widely available in larger cities and regional centres, but are far less common in remote and rural areas. Make sure you have enough cash before leaving urban areas.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Geckos are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of your trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

No vaccines are required in order to enter Peru but some are recommended for protection against disease. Visit your doctor or travel clinic for advice and make sure to schedule vaccinations 4-6 weeks before your departure date, as some require time to become effective.
Recommended vaccines:
1. Hepatitis A (transmitted through contaminated water)
2. Typhoid (transmitted through contaminated water)
3. Yellow Fever (transmitted by mosquitos): This vaccination is recommended if you're visiting Puno or the Amazon. Some countries require a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry after visiting Peru. Do your research before leaving home to see if you require this vaccine.
Most people start to experience altitude sickness when they are more than 2,500 metres above sea level. Many popular tourist spots including the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Puno, Colca Valley and Lake Titicaca are all above this elevation. Avoid alcohol and exercise before your body has adjusted when visiting these parts, drink plenty of water and talk to your doctor about possible medication. Peruvians also have their own method for treating the effects of altitude – try chewing coca leaves or drinking coca tea.
Dengue fever, malaria and yellow fever are all mosquito-transmitted diseases found in certain parts of Peru. Malaria is not generally found in highland tourist areas (Puno, Cusco, Machu Picchu). But make sure to bring anti-malarial medication if you are planning on visiting areas of lower elevation (less than 2000m). You can also protect yourself by wearing light coloured clothing when travelling in these parts and by using a good bug repellent.
While it might be common to see rainbow flags displayed throughout the Andes, this is in fact the flag of the Inca Empire and not a gay pride flag. Peru is a conservative, Catholic country where LGBTQI-rights are still developing. Many members of the LGBTQI community don't publicly identify themselves and generally Peruvians will tolerate homosexuality on a 'don't-ask-don't-tell' basis. While Lima may be more tolerant towards LGBTQI-travellers, it's advised that you should exercise caution when travelling in country areas.

Item 2 of 17
Sketch of Androscoggin River, ca. 1830Item 25774 info
Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library
The Androscoggin River, from its source in the Rangeley Lakes to its outlet in Merrymeeting Bay, drops 1,500 vertical feet.
Those drops, often in scenic falls, such as Great Falls in Lewiston-Auburn painted by Josiah Spooner Swift in 1830, are excellent sources of waterpower, and drew industry to the rivers' shores beginning in the early nineteenth century -- and settlements, which also brought sources of pollution, even earlier.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Dan Metzger's goal in the waning moments of regulation was the difference as No. 2 Maryland defeated Brown 2-1 in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament Sunday at Ludwig Field.
Bobby Belair scored early for Brown (13-3-3), before goals by Patrick Mullins and Metzger lifted Maryland (18-1-2) to the third round for a nation-best 11th season where it will face Coastal Carolina in next week's third round.
Brown capitalized on its control of possession early in the first half when Beliar turned in a corner kick for the game's opening goal. The senior forward was able to get ahold of Dylan Remick's dangerous cross for his fourth tally of the season.
The Bears almost doubled their lead just after the opener. Sophomore Ben Maurey's chip went just wide after Maryland keeper Keith Cardona was caught out of his goal.
Maryland asserted itself late in the half with a series of chances. Defender Jordan Cyruslaced a strike from just outside the 18-yard box that was blocked by a Bears defender.
Mullins, the 2012 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, tied the game just before halftime with a beautiful individual effort. The junior forward received the ball at the midfield line, dribbled forward, and unleashed a strike from 30 yards that beat Brown keeper Sam Kernan-Schloss low to the right corner of the goal.
Mullins goal was his team leading 14th of the season and gave the Terrapins momentum going into the second half
The second half was a physical battle with both teams creating chances for the go-ahead goal. Mullins almost put the Terrapins in front with 34 minutes remaining, but his header was well saved by Kernan-Schloss.
Maryland took the lead in the dying moments when Metzger deflected a Helge Leikvang cross into the back right corner of the net with 57 seconds remaining.
It was the sophomore's third goal and Leikvang's second assist on the season.
"I'm proud of our team tonight," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "We didn't play our best soccer, but we showed our championship fiber and found a way to win. To score a goal in the last couple minutes of each half shows a team that's mentally tough.
"Brown is an outstanding team. I expected they were going to give us a great challenge tonight, and they did."
Maryland returns to the field next Sunday to take on Coastal Carolina in the third round of the NCAA tournament. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Ludwig Field and the game can be seen live for free on TerpsTV.

The Canadian grad school experience will vary depending on the school you choose: its size, location, religious affiliation (if any). Grad schools in Canada may be found in small rural towns, big urban centres or quiet suburbs, and can be Christian, Catholic or secular, as well as private or public.
However, all Canada grad schools aim to provide advanced-level study and research opportunities for dedicated students who have already completed a bachelor's degree. To meet this goal, most grad schools in Canada follow a similar structure, with graduate classes usually consisting of focused, small seminar classes of less than 20 students. The seminar approach means grad students work closely with fellow students and professors. Master's degrees in Canada can be course-based (meaning non-thesis) or research-based (including graduate courses and a formal thesis). Non-thesis master's degrees typically only take 1 year, while those with a thesis generally take 2 years. Doctoral degrees vary in length and format depending on your field of study. A doctoral degree is generally known as a PhD; however, other doctoral degrees are also granted in certain specialized fields, such as music (DMus) or law (LLD). Most doctoral degrees take between 4 and 7 years of full-time study and require students to undertake an original research project leading to a dissertation (usually between 200-400 pages).
At both the master's and doctoral levels, grad students in Canada have unique opportunities to get involved with high-level research projects, present at national and international academic conferences, author or co-author journal publications, participate in international competitions and gain experience as a teaching or research assistant.

Remember When Lincoln Made Trucks? They Still Exist.
Way back in 2005, Ford decided that Lincoln needed a pickup truck. So they took the F-150, gave it a new front end and pushed their luxurious half-ton out across the North American continent.
Judging by the lack of Lincoln pickups today, that plan clearly didn't work out as well as they would've liked.
So in 2008, Ford decided to cut their losses and pack up the Licoln Mark LT and instead drop their luxury load into the Platinum trim line for the F-150. In the US and Canada, the Lincoln LT is just another failure… But in Mexico, things went a very different way.
South of the border the Mark LT is, and continues to be, Lincolns best selling model. They even have a version of the truck based on the current generation F-150. It's still built in America along side the F-150, but it's only sold in Mexico: a weird inversion of the typical product distribution chain.
I'm not sure if Ford'll be selling the next-gen F-150 in Mexico, but one can only imagine they'd continue to do well. I'd definitely like to see the 2015 truck with the grill from a modern Lincoln if only for my personal amusement.

On Monday, even before negotiations with free agent goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov set to resume after a weekend hiatus, the Flyers learned they may have a little more money to throw around this summer.
The NHL's 2011-12 salary cap will be going up by more than anticipated.
Original reports had the cap settling at $63.5 million, up from last year's $59.4 million, but teams were reportedly notified on Monday that the cap will be increasing to $64 million for next season.
The number has not yet offically been nailed down yet, according to reports, or released publicly by the league.
Still, even $500K extra for the Flyers - who will be teetering at the cap's upper limit - would be more than half of a contract for a role player.
TSN in Canada first reported the cap increase. It comes at a crucial time, as each team will be crunching their budgets hard this week - either to re-sign a free agent or to see what they can afford - before this Friday's draft at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
The salary cap floor, or minimum each team must spend, has also been increased to $48 million.
Since the league instituted the salary cap after the 2004-05 lockout, the 2011-12 salary cap floor of $48 million is now a full $9 million above the league's original upper limit of $39 million.
Here is the league's cap evolution:
2005-06: $39 million (upper) --> $23 million (lower)
2006-07: $44 million --> $28 million
2007-08: $50.3 million --> $34.3 million
2008-09: $56.7 million --> $40.7 million
2009-10: $56.8 million --> $40.8 million
2010-11: $59.4 million --> $43.4 million
2011-12: $64 million --> $48 million
This year, the NHLPA was reportedly able to use a one-time five percent escalator as part of the collective bargaining agreement that is set to expire after next season.
For comparisons sake, the Flyers spent roughly $73 million on player salaries in the 2003-04 season, according to Forbes Magazine, before the salary cap existed. They also spent $62 million in 2002-03.
It may sound crazy, but the biggest number reported on Monday may be the salary cap floor number. Why? Small market, low budget teams like Florida, who have just $18 million committed in salary for next season, will need to spend at least $30 million just to be cap compliant. They may be willing to take on a little more salary than normal off a team like the Flyers looking to dump.
Exactly 11 of the league's 30 teams have $40 million or less committed for next season - which means nearly half the league has some serious spending to do.
Overall, it's been the fans, sponsors and television networks who have been doing the spending. For the first time in its history, after setting new television ratings records with last week's Stanley Cup Final Game 7 in Vancouver, the NHL is set to exceed $3 billion in revenue this season. Among the major four sports, they are still roughly $1 billion behind the NBA and nearly $6 billion back of the NFL.

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — In the roiling debate over eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatist attacks have turned increasingly bloody, neither the country's richest man nor some of his dirt-poor compatriots have much time for patriotism, ethnic feuding or political parties.
Rinat Akhmetov, an industrialist whose companies employ 300,000 people, and who may be the single most powerful man in this part of the country, focuses on one topic: money.
It's also the main concern of most of the men he employs — and that sentiment may turn into a force of unity as Ukraine votes in presidential elections on Sunday.
"You cannot feed people on guns," Akhmetov said in a televised statement a few days ago, dismissing the gunmen as "savages" and calling for an end to the mutinies. "Nor can you ever build a strong economy without good jobs and salaries."
"If some of you believe that (the separatists) are leading us to success, this is a mistake," he said. "They are leading to collapse, poverty and hunger."
The miners and steelworkers of eastern Ukraine have a long history of involvement in politics, including a series of strikes that helped hasten the fall of the Soviet Union, and widely remembered marches in the late 1990s.
This time their focus is economic: Fearful of losing their jobs, most industrial workers in this industrial region have steered well clear of politics, limiting support for the separatist movement.
Asked on a recent day about this weekend's ballot, coal miner Olheg Krishtal wouldn't answer.
"That's a question for the politicians," he said, arriving at his shift at a Donetsk mine where a bland white-brick building covers the mine entrance. He arrived as the previous shift was leaving, the exhausted miners covered in black dust, respirators slung around their necks. "We will deal with industry, and the politicians will do the politics."
After staying out of the debate for months, Akhmetov in recent days has become one of the loudest voices urging an end to the crisis. Clearly worried about his own empire if the unrest continues, his dominance in the region appears to have helped keep large numbers of blue-collar workers from turning to the separatists.
A little over a week ago, workers from Akhmetov's steel factories, working with police, took government buildings away from pro-Moscow insurgents in Mariupol, an industrial port city on the Azov Sea, dealing a serious blow to the anti-Kiev forces that want to merge this part of Ukraine with Russia. Every day, workers at his factories are called together for pro-unity rallies.
The message at the rallies is straightforward and repetitive. "If we support the (separatist) Donetsk Republic, no one will recognize us. We'll be in a gray zone. No one will send us raw materials. We'll have no one to export to," Yuri Zinchenko, who runs a Mariupol steel factory in Akhmetov's empire, told company workers this week.
"All of us will lose our jobs, even me," he said.
Plenty of Akhmetov's employees disagree with his politics. Many are sympathetic to Russian nationalism, and feel little loyalty to the government in Kiev. At Akhmetov's factories in eastern Ukraine, where many people trace their roots to Russia, the Russian language is heard far more often than Ukrainian. At the factory rallies, few workers pay close attention, and calls for applause bring little but weak ripples of clapping. A handful do support the separatists.
"Go Donetsk Peoples' Republic!" shouted one of the men at Krishtal's coal mine, referring to the pro-Russian separatists who have seized a government building in central Donetsk, declaring themselves an independent nation. "Ukraine should just step aside."
But the Ukrainian economy is a disaster, well-paying factory and mining jobs are hard to find, and few want to risk losing them.
If Ukraine's cities can look well-off at first glance, much of that is an economic veneer, fed in part by the ubiquitous government corruption that has enriched a generation of top bureaucrats and their business allies. Very often, it's just a quick drive to the crumbling houses, rusted factories and Soviet-style apartment blocks that are home to most people in this country.
Take Donetsk. This city of less than a million people, an industrial hub built atop a series of coal mines and surrounded by small mountains of mining slag, has a string of expensive restaurants. Billboards advertise the high-end Italian lingerie La Perla. It has a Porsche dealership.
But beyond the city center and a few well-to-do areas are a network of gritty neighborhoods where life revolves around coal mines and factories. They are places where the loss of a job is a terrifying prospect.
Talk to the people who come from these places, and politics rarely comes up. Getting by is far more important.
The miners "want to get home, alive and healthy," said Krishtal. "We don't need guns in the street."
