text: Diane M. Laurin, group publisher for Laurin Publishing's slate of international trade magazines, has died unexpectedly, the company announced this week. She was 57. Diane's mother, Teddi C. Laurin, founded Optical Spectra, later Photonics Spectra magazine, in 1967, and Diane began her career with Laurin Publishing shortly after graduating from Russell Sage College in 1973. Diane left the company in July 1991, becoming vice president of public relations for Winstanley Associates, an advertising/marketing communications agency based in Lenox, Mass. Diane returned to Laurin Publishing in early 2008 and was named group publisher in May 2008, spearheading a rebranding and refocusing of the company's three magazines, the flagship publication Photonics Spectra, and BioPhotonics and EuroPhotonics, and a completely new online Photonics Directory. Her ambitious goal was to reinvigorate industry pride and position Laurin Publishing for the 21st century, and one of her first accomplishments was giving the company a new identity: Photonics Media — The pulse of the industry, to describe its full suite of print and online media. She breathed new life into the decades-old publications and revitalized the company's mission to serve as an interpreter of new developments in the entire range of photonics, rather than merely one or two segments in the field. She embraced new media ventures and led Laurin's foray into social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Diane was also happy to reconnect with her many friends and colleagues in the photonics industry by attending many trade shows in the past two years. She was also instrumental in the founding of the world-class Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation, an award that recognizes the most innovative photonics products, conceived in partnership with SPIE and awarded for the first time in January 2009. Diane also re-energized the staff of all three magazines, who considered her both a mentor and a dear friend. "I worked with Diane in her early years at Laurin and when she came back last spring," said Charles T. Troy, Photonics Spectra senior editor. "She was more than a colleague, she was a dear friend, whom I – and everyone else here – will miss greatly. Diane was one of the brightest and most versatile people I've ever met. She worked and played hard and enjoyed life to its fullest. Her passing leaves a huge void – professionally and personally." A memorial will be held for Diane on Friday, Aug. 7, 2009, at 10 a.m. at The Lenox Club, 111 Yokun Ave. in Lenox. Donations in her memory may be made to Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, 472 West Mountain Road, Lenox 01240; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

We can't help but find New Orleans hometown boy turned Brooklynite Anthony Mackie quite endearing. We talked to him about his new robot action flick "Real Steel" with Hugh Jackman. And, you might remember him from Oscar winning film "The Hurt Locker." Like in his on-screen work, Mackie is full of surprises in real life. The Bed-Stuy resident is a local guy who loves German chocolate cake, and even opened up a bar in his Brooklyn neighborhood because he simply just "wanted a nice local spot" where he could "relax, play some pool or watch a game and get a beer around $5." Bedford-Stuyvesant used to be one of the biggest ghettoes in the country, but has certainly come a long way, as young, hip New Yorkers are finding themselves moving to the area. Now, they'll have a place to hang at Mackie's NoBar, a chill neighborhood spot with cheap eats and locally brewed beer. Cheers to that!
Tell us a little bit about "Real Steel," which hit theaters last weekend?
Real Steel is a great story of a young boy becoming close to his dad through the world of Robot Boxing. I play Finn, a promoter for beginner level boxers.
Robot boxing, huh, sounds cool. What made the character Finn appealing to you?
I'd been looking for a part I could have fun with. When I read the script, I felt like Finn was a guy who liked to entertain.
What does it feel like to be part of a Spielberg production? How did you react when Shawn Levy offered you the part?
It's always cool to say you're working with the likes of Spielberg! Shawn couldn't have been more excited about having me as part of the movie. It made me want to go further and work harder, and really make Finn into something fun and different.
What was the most fun part of working on this film?
While we were shooting in Detroit, there was a festival called "The Woodward Car Cruise." About 100,000 classic cars from around the world cruising the streets of Detroit... Beautiful!
Who were you most surprised by in the cast?
I'd never really worked on a big green screen movie before. It was crazy talking to a real life 8-foot-tall robot! Some of the best acting I've seen in years...
What is something about you that our viewers and readers would find surprising?
I'm a fat boy at heart! You cook it... I'll eat it!
If I weren't an actor, I would be ____________.
A construction worker
What is your favorite late-night bite?
German Chocolate cake topped with Vanilla ice cream and warm Jack Daniels honey! Oh baby!
What are your favorite late-night pairings?
"Coming to America" and my couch! And, Basil Hayden on the rocks.
Tell us about your place in Brooklyn NoBar.
NoBar is a really chill French rustic style bar. It's all hand-crafted and we have an affordable cocktail list to die for. It's a great place to go with a group of friends that won't break the bank with a beautiful, free pool table.
Where do you like to hang out nightlife-wise in NYC when you are not at your own place?
Well, I don't go to the city much anymore. But, I always stop into STK, because all my friends work there.
What is your favorite thing between two buns?
There's just too much I can say to that question!
"Real Steel" is in theaters now.
608 Nostrand Ave
Brooklyn, NY

Newly elected Rep. Joe Garcia, who beat Sen. Marco Rubio's longtime friend David Rivera in the last election, gives the Republican a little praise for his immigration proposal.
And Garcia implicitly asks: What took you so long?
The statement:
"For years we have pushed for a solution to our ineffective and unjust immigration system and I believe 2013 will be the year this goal becomes a reality. I wholeheartedly welcome Senator Rubio's and others evolution on this important issue and welcome with them with open arms to join our cause."
"The Senate's blueprint is a positive step toward this important goal and as a member of the Immigration Subcommittee I look forward to reviewing the details with the Senate. Their 'tough, but fair' approach provides a good foundation for the legislation that is needed. What is most encouraging about their plan is the earned pathway to citizenship, which must be reasonable and begin quickly. It is our hope that our Republican colleagues in the House will see this as a workable framework and be fully willing to cooperate on common sense solutions that will benefit all Americans."

coca cola44 messages in this subject.
|A couple months ago I decided to stop drinking soda completely. I didnt have a sip of any soda for 2 and a half months, until about a week ago I decided to have a can of Diet Coke. I drank it and had a little bit of a burning sensation in my mouth, no biggie. A couple days later, I have swollen taste buds and blistering on my tongue and the roof of my mouth. I definitely think there is a connection to the Diet Coke and blisters.
|Daniel 3 May 18
|November 25, 2017 I have been drinking 3-4 cans a coke a day for quite some time. As of today, I'm staying away from Coca-Cola, as it has now peeled the skin off my tongue and throat, and little bubble blisters on the insides of my lips. They have been healing in the last 3 days.
|Catherine Lajoie 25 November 17
|I have been suffering from mouth ulcers for the past 3 years, i've had numerous blood tests, x-rays and dental work, medication and nothing helps. I usually have between 6-10 ulcers at the one time all over and under my tongue basically my mouth is full of them. I'm not stressed at all and i've tried to change my diet but nothing seems to help... I do drink alot of fizzy so I think this could be the problem... but i'm basically just looking for other people's opnions as to what they think it oculd be? i'm only 22 and can't go on much longer with the pain constantly.
|Erin 20 March 17
|colas, stress, lack of vitamins, C, B12, etc., malnutrition all cause cold sores
|deborah 1 November 16
|Many people blame a lot of problems on coca cola; in many cases they are right. However one thing you never hear mentioned is how corrosive Coke can be. So sitting in aluminium cans, sometimes for weeks and in some cases months a slight amount of metal from cans or micro polymers from plastic bottles can leach into the very liquid you drink. This not only can lead to dry mouth and other problems but also polymer particles taken into the blood stream can lead to Cancer, also long term intake or ingestion of any metal including Aluminium into the human system will help raise the risk of Parkinson's disease or DEMENTIA. Drinking Coca Cola in some way's a bit like smoking. By the time it has done its damage over many years it is to late to fix the problem. If you still want to drink coke I would suggest buy it in GLASS bottles. Take care
|Ian Furber 31 October 16
|I had been suffering from ulcers/cold sores since I was a teenager, I'm now 40. I could not figure out why I kept getting them more than the average person, until one day I knew exactly why.. I can categorically say that Coca-Cola is the reason why I get them. I know this simply through drinking the stuff and experimenting. I have absolutely no idea why? The other cause is stress. Without these two I simply don't get them.
|Stu 4 September 16
|Been an ulcer sufferer my entire life. Usually had 2-3 at once, constantly. The worst ones are the big ones under the tongue, causes a complete lack of appetite and painful to even speak. The severity of them seemed to get worse as the years went on, even getting sore and swollen cheeks, and lymph glands. Drank about 3 cokes a day, but gave them up roughly 3 months ago, haven't had any ulcers or anything since! Only drink water and milk/coffee now. Definitely recommend giving up soda, if you haven't done so already. The stuff is poison.
|Dylan 9 June 16
|Okay, so I understand our skin thins as we age but wow! I am almost 60 and for the last 6-8 months I've been having trouble with my lips and gums. My lips seem to peel now and it's one cold or mouth sore after another. Drinking diet cola is not the pleasure it used to be as my lips feel like they are burning when they touch this carbonated stuff. I try other flavors or sparkling water and I don't have the same reaction. I will try to quit or at least put a huge limit on my daily intake and see if there is any improvement. Can some sodas have more acid than others? Can some brands or batches be more acidic than others to the point of pain?
|Mary 26 June 15
|Don Jones 24, I drink an average of 3 to 4 Cokes a day & about 4 cups Coffee. Eat way too many different sort of Chips. Sort of a snacking thing I have done for many years, as well as the Coke & Coffee. Think it has caught up with me the last the last few months. My mouth & tongue burn and I get what assume are ulcers. I am 70 years old and quitting or really slacking back at my age, well we do what we have to do. Tired of the burning feeling. So out went the Coke.
|Dorothy Kashata 5 May 15
|I NEVER drink coke from a can or it will cause me to have a reaction on my lips. I usually drink it with a straw to avoid getting it all over my lips. But it really seems to help me to not get cold sores or bad ones. It is said that it releases calcium from the body and if I take calcium I get sick. I also don't eat a lot of dairy. It causes lots more problems than some coca cola does. I think the different effect this has on people is based on their needs and their diet of other things. I cant drink lemon lime drinks or I get plaque on my teeth and a white tongue. I cant eat a lot of anything with a lot of vit c in it. I can have baked potatoes which have vit c. If I drink the citrusy drinks I also get sores and or hives. Regular coke doesn't do too much wrong to me and in fact helps me, but yrs ago I drank diet and it caused me headaches and sore teeth. I tried some again a yr ago out of curiousity and within a couple hours I was getting white gummy rashes on my cheeks near my mouth that itched like excema coming on. So if you find you drink coke and it helps you like it does me don't feel bad because you are not imagining it. It really does make you feel better. Neutralizes the stomach and satisfies the the brain (like an antidepressant), moisturizes my skin, and many many times I have felt either a cold sore or an allergic reation coming on and drink this and bam it goes away. I also notice it relieves my chest indigestion or if it feels dry I will have some and it works like a medicine. No Im not selling or offiliated to coke. I just know it helps ME and my guess is it is from the opposite effect it has on calcium that I don't do well with.
|girlygirl 7 January 15
|I have been plagued for years with Cold sores on my lips, I have noted it most likely is to happen after drinking from a can. I now never drink from a can and it has receded to the occasional crash of a toothbrush or a nip while eating. While being away from home on a ferry last weekend I was in a situation where the tap water was unfit and the only drink was a can and no other vessel to pour it into. So foolishly I took a drink from the can, my top lip is now; on both sides left and right covered in cold sores. I think the can cuts my top lip gently but enough to set the virus reaction. Keep Away From Cans is my motto.
|Alan Brown 4 January 15
|Seems like coca cola the real thing not any other or the diet helps me to heal a cold sore. It actually stops the pain and seals over the skin. I just don't think I should drink too much of it but I do definitely drink it. If I drink plain water I seem to get them. It really sucks. My concern is that I have very dry lips though and this is not helping my problem. But a certain amount of coke heals the sores for me.
|girlygirl 10 December 14
|So reading this has really helped me, i am getting ulcers on my tongue after drinking fizzy drinks, the weird thing is i have been drinking them for years, stopped for a little and now every time i do i get ulcers. I'm just curious if it is something i should be concerned about is it diabetes related? Someone please help me
|kirsty 5 October 14
|yes....im yes cocacolas are the reason for mouth ulcer....because i guess after drinking that next day my bowl doesnt get emptied.....results in mouth ulcer
|tushar 9 August 13
|If I have an Ulcer in my mouth, it's one of three reasons:
1) I drank a soft drink/soda
2) I had a cut in my mouth
3) I am about to get sick or am already sick
I've had ulcers for over 20 years and I've only been able to figure out those three causes until here recently.
My worst outbreaks come from drinking soft drinks like Coke or Pepsi or Dr. Pepper. I've also found that drinking Red Bull give me ulcers (not wings!) as well. I'm not sure if it has a similar ingredient to soft drinks.
Luckily, I can avoid soft drinks and I can be careful not to cut my mouth but unfortunately I have no control over getting sick so I will never be ulcer free I suppose. But at least I know where they come from for me.
|LUKE 1 March 13
|I have found that Diet Dr. Pepper is the only drink that gives me ulcers. Only on the tip of my tongue. I tried Diet Coke, and it did not have the same effect. I think I will have to stop the diet dr pepper.
|jd 26 November 12
|I don't drink sodas to often, but when I get a mouth ulcer ido... For me it burns a little at first and then numbs it....
|pam 21 July 12
|Crisps and cola aren't good. Their also bad for your health. Why not try fruit and water? And the perfect cure for tongue ulcers is lysine!
hope the lysine works!
|Sephie Wise 12 March 12
|omg yes yes yes it worked for me i rarely drink soda & i had Ulcer on my tongue for 3 days, u could only imagine the pain T_T & so today i just wanted to drink Pepsi & i did...i felt a little better, so i went crazy & drank 3 cans hhhh
i know its bad & but i swear it almost heeled :)
|Diana 8 March 12
|I suffer from the occasional Ulcer, and can confirm that I'm fine with Coca Cola, however if I drink more than a can of Pepsi (e.g 2 pints) then within 2 days a Ulcer will start to devlop. Anyone here aware of what different ingredients are in Pepsi but not in Coca Cola?
|Ben 25 October 11
|avoid all carbonated drinks, I was advised to do this by a dentist years ago because of mouth ulcers, if I lapse up pops an ulcer. Recently started making gingerbeer, thought that would be OK but oh no, mouth full of ulcers in no time!
|mary 15 September 11
|I started drinking soda pop again, after I stopped drinking soda pop altogether for over a year. It was very hard to quit. I know people are aware of the dangers of nicotene, alcohol & narcotics, but caffeine & soda are a negative addictiion too. Soda pop is the only vice I have. When I don't drink soda pop, I do NOT get mouth ulcers, but as soon as I start drinking soda pop the mouth ulcers come back again. I can't prove it, but I know there is a connection between the mouth ulcers & the soda pop because I'm living with it. I fell off my health kick & it's time I get back on it. The Soda companies are a multi-billion dollar franchise so don't hold your breath waiting for the media to come clean with how bad this stuff really is for you. Just because it's legal, cheap & abundant does not mean it's not killing you.
|Jason 09/07/2011 8 September 11
|i bite the sides of my cheeks when im sleeping and get horrible ulcers, it hurts to even talk but when i drink soda it burnss at first and then it numbs it and i get like 10mina of peace, i deffinately think its worth it(:
|sha na na 21 April 11
|MIKE T. 4 April 11
|I've had a huge Coke habit for 20 years. My tongue and mouth are ALWAYS hurting. I went to sugar free Coke and it got better. But, recently went off the wagon and drank Coke with sugar and my mouth is raging. My daughter has geographic tongue and also always has a sore tongue. I frequently have thrush and thought it was from the sugar in the Coke.
|KAT 29 March 11
|I have cut down on fizzy drinks for a few months now and everytime I drink them now I can mouth ulcers on the tip of my tougue. I can't believe what I am reading as I have been drinking them for years without any issues!
|Hins 4 February 11
|I find that while i drink coke i have no ulcers, but if i try to give it up then 2 or 3 days later my mouth and tongue will be covered in ulcers to the point where it hurts to talk so i start drinking it again and they go away.... does anyone else have any problems like that?
|rach 19 January 11
|I have found that actually, it's not fizzy drinks, it's the ingredient that is generally in cheaper fizzy drinks but is also in Dr Pepper - Sodium Benzoate. I've suffered with ulcers ever since suffering Glandular Fever 3 years ago and it took the Doctors 1 of those years to figure out that Sodium Benzoate was the culprit! It's not just in pop, it's a preservative so be careful - I'm sure that for many of you, this is your problem. NB - The code is E211 - Sodium Benzoate - Food/drink preservative!
|Sian McCarthy 26 December 10
|Fizzy drinks cause my ulcers to flare up, I got tested a few year back & found I am allergic ti Sodium Benzoate, which is in 98% of fizzy drinks .... (funnily enough non diet coca cola doesn't have this) ... but pretty much ALL other fizzy (and a lot of non fizzy) drinks have it. I now only drink: Water, tea, coffee or beer :o
(also allergic to Cinnamon which caused em to flare).
|Derek 18 December 10
|because its nearing christmas my partner has been buying shit loads of coke and other fizzy drinks, so naturally weve been drinking them alot haha
after reading these comments I guess I can blame fizzy drink on the mouth uclers and tingling ive been getting the past few days.
Does the diet ones cause it too? :p
|Tika. 16 December 10
|fanta cause the ulcers for me, but pure alcohol (95%vol) on them before bed will burn like hell for a second, than numb it, so it won't hurt at all after that and in the morning it will be gone!!
|shoogi 3 September 10
|I wonder, though, if it's the drinking or the period afterward that's the problem. If I drink a can of pop and then drink some milk or lots of water, I wonder if it would help or if the damage has already been done.
|Mike 25 September 09
|From Pauline 2 Weeks on
I stopped drinking coke 2 weeks ago successfully......... well almost successfully............ except for maybe 2 cans in 2 weeks. Ive only had one fairly minor ulcer during that time when normally I would have a mouth full. Im still a bit dubious though I cant believe the answer would be something so simple as cutting out coke. Im going to continue avoiding it and Ill keep you updated..
PS. Thanks Dom for a brilliant site.
|Pauline 12 June 03
|soooooooo, coke and pepsi may be the bastards that ae causing these fuckers, i drink at least 1 can everyday at work or when i go gym of just if im out and thirsty, i better stop drinkin fizzy drinks, ill have a 1 week trial, i dont think ill be able to handle that but ill try, ill let you know how i get on......
|Imran Leic/Eng 11 June 03
|i agree with andy pauline, i happen to agree with you, i never ever seem to have just one ulcr there is always more then 3 at any one time, i do find that drinking coke does help if only to numb the suckers for a short while so i can have a decent conversation without grunting and nodding and shaking my head. think everyone should give it a go. also try sucking on polo mints that helps me and sometimes is the only thing i can eat. xx
|Lydia Eng 11 June 03
|I love coke and have once mouth ulcer for past few days. Its been killing me!!! I get really crankly. Brushing, gargling, sometimes, drinking water hurts it so much. I used Bonjela says to ease the pain of ulcers. Applying it to the ulcer was OUCH.... my friend suggested putting salt to the ulcer....dont know if it helps to ease the pain later....though she said that it will hurt when the actions taking place.
|Aida 29 May 03
|In reply to Andy
Yeah, I find the cold, sparkling sensation of coke does really sooth my mouth when it is full of ulcers.... I am though now beginning to think that coke & other sparkling drinks may cause them. I am addicted to diet coke and pepsi and have at least 1 or 2 cans a day. Im 35 now and have drunk it since 17ish....maybe I should give it up and see if my ulcers improve...... Ill let you know...

|Well since everyone seems to think coca cola and other sodas are bad when it comes to the recovery and onset of ulcers, my message may seem outta place...I like to drink coke when i have ulcers, it hurts at first then kind of numbs them, and if i continue to drink it, it keeps them numb for a short period of time. Does anyone else do the same?
|Andy 22 May 03
|As a bit of an expert on ulcers (having spent many many hours researching the subject of food triggers and talking to professors at Guys Hospital London about this (where I am currently being treated for mouth ulcers)I can say that crisps and coke do tend to bring on attacks of ulcers with me, yes, most definately - especially crisps of any nature. Guys view was that most fizzy drinks should be avoided if poss due to the acidic nature... I also find personally things like salad cream, mayonnaise, pickles etc.. can also bring on attacks which further enhances the acidic view ..
|Paul Cooksley 22 May 03
|I also agree that maybe it is the fizzy pop! That is the only thing that has been consistant with me for the last couple of months of trying to locate the food trigger. I used to drink Diet Coke, then I stopped and currently I drink sparkling water, soda water or on occassion Coke. If I can give up the fizzy sodas for a while, I will report on my findings.
|Cristen 22 May 03
|The only thing I have changed in the last few weeks is that I have started drinking Coke and I have mouth ulcers. I am going to stop drinking coke!
|Sandra 22 May 03
|Probably the coke isnt very healthy for your body either, try water and milk ;)
|Jem 17 April 03
|i am 21 and the only drink i drink is coca cola, i have suffered with mouth ulcers for about 10 years at the moment i have 7 ulcers, 1 very painful one on my tongue and some on my throat i am very down about them at the moment, i was thinking the same, could it be the fizzy pop??
|rachel 25 March 03
|coca cola (or fizzy drinks in general) in combination with crisps lead to certain infection with mouth ulcers. i was wondering if anyone else had noticed this??

The classic, one-size-fits-all, in or out approach to IT sourcing, built around long-term deals with traditional or established suppliers, is not agile enough for an increasingly digital marketplace.
It doesn't enable CIOs to accelerate improvements in performance while controlling costs. Nor does it help organizations seize evolving opportunities to improve the frontend customer experience.
Multi-speed IT sourcing, by contrast, aligns with a multi-speed enterprise. It allows CIOs to leverage disruptive digital technologies at speed, tap into innovation, and use as-a-Service-enabled models, whenever and wherever they are needed.
A traditional IT sourcing strategy no longer satisfies the requirements of the business.
A rapid plug-and-play sourcing strategy is mandatory.
CIOs need as-a-Service commercial models whose SLAs measure the value of work done, rather than the labor required to do the work.
Multi-speed IT sourcing requires an operating model and workforce running at multi-speed.
A successful multi-speed IT sourcing strategy needs to align with a multi-speed, services-based, and actively governed operating model. New talent types and skill sets are needed to ensure responsiveness to changing, as-a-Service sourcing engagements.
One size fits all is a good way to fail.
Value from labor arbitrage is rapidly diminishing. IT protocols need to be reinvented and the supplier landscape rationalized.
To establish a multi-speed IT sourcing strategy, take 4 key actions:
Identify and understand changes to the overall IT model. Design a plan and define the pace of change.
Create a step change in supplier management. Redefine your list of leading vendors and ensure your providers can align to your new required capabilities.
Leverage the extended ecosystem. Consider startups, in particular, as a source of innovation. Define your approach to integrating and balancing Xaas/cloud-enabled services with your overall sourcing mix.
Win the war for talent. Identify the new IT skills you need. Then assess your current IT sourcing mix and talent procurement approach, especially new partners who can help you drive value.

The post-season basketball honors continue to fall on Hope College senior guard David Krombeen of Grandville (Grandville HS).
The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) today (Thursday) named Krombeen a Division III first team All-American,. He is one of just eight players from the 405 Division III programs to be named to the first team.
He becomes Hope's seventh alltime NABC Division III All-American, joining Chip Henry (1st team, 1984). Eric Elliott (3rd team, 1990 and 1991); Wade Gugino (3rd team, 1992); Duane Bosma (3rd team, 1995); Joel Holstege (2nd team, 1997 and 1st team, 1998; and Stephen Cramer (3rd team, 2007.)
He earlier was named the most valuable player in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and was the leading vote-getter on the NABC Great Lakes Division III all-region team.
On Saturday Krombeen will participate in Reese's Division III College Allstar game in Salem, Va., one of an elite group of 19 players chosen by the NABC to play prior to the men's Division III national championship game.
Krombeen was a four-year starter. Hope during his career posted a 92-25 record, advancing to the NCAA championships all four years. Krombeen ended as Hope's second alltime leader in career assists (463) and steals (241). He averaged 14.8 point per game this season and ended with a career average of 10.0. He was co-captain of the team as both a junior and senior. This past season he was named the conference player of the week three times.

Last Friday, Andrew Halcro took to his blog to suggest that he had a big story set to release on Monday concerning an alleged FBI investigation of the Matanuska Creamery, or as he calls it,"Palin's Milkman." Andrew has a long history of distorting the facts on this issue, he also has an old axe to grind. For those of you who don't know, Governor Palin beat Halcro during the Alaska Gubernatorial race in 2006. He received a whopping 9% of the vote and she went on to become state's governor. As Rebecca Mansour once wrote:
At least John Binkley, Frank Murkowski, and Tony Knowles had the dignity to lose graciously.
That wasn't the case with Mr. Halcro.
Monday night, as predicted by anyone who knows about Andrew, he released an innuendo-filled, fact deficient screed to the Alaska media. He began:
The Palin-era dairy bailout seemed like such a bad idea back in 2007. Bailing out an industry that couldn't stand on its own two feet. Appointing unqualified cronies to key positions and then allowing them to give away state agriculture loans without guarantees or proper collateral. But today, rumors abound that the FBI has come knocking.
Several of my longtime confidential sources stated last week that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is knee-deep in trying to unwind some of the financial activity surrounding the use of federal government grants awarded to the Matanuska Creamery.
"Something is going on with an FBI investigation regarding the federal grant funds. The FBI has been contacting folks about checks they were given with cash back," read an email I received from one long time dairy source.
"It appears the FBI Investigation is focused on one of the major shareholders," a follow-up email read from yet another agriculture insider.
In a phone interview with andrewhalcro.com, Anchorage FBI Special Agent Eric Gonzalez refused to admit or deny that the Bureau was investigating the Matanuska Creamery. Saying it was agency's policy not to publicly comment, Gonzalez offered nothing by way of confirmation.
What does a supposed (yet not even confirmed) investigation of "major shareholders" have to do with Governor Palin? Answer: absolutely nothing.
He refers to it as the "Palin-era dairy bailout" but that's a simplistic and misleading characterization of the issue. Halcro loves to act as though Governor Palin tried to bail out the dairy to save it and because it closed down, she failed. He even likes to act as though she tried to take it out of the hands of the people who were running it and hand it over to her friends as some sort of crony kickback, as you will later read. All of that is categorically false.
As Ian pointed out after reading some of the emails from the Palin administration released to the media back in June, 2011:
It is true that the Mat-Maid Dairy closed about a year after the Governor stepped in to prevent the dairy from being closed. What is also true is that the Governor also wanted the dairy to close if a successful financial plan could not be created. The reason why she fought the earlier attempt to close the dairy is because the state had already made commitments that would have been broken had the dairy closed immediately. The Governor essentially wanted the dairy to close if an alternative financial plan could not be realized but she wanted to close it in a way so that the state did not break any commitments it had made to farmers that would be violated by the sudden closure of the dairy.
How do we know these were the Governor's intentions? #Palinemails:
Dairy farmers were told their last day to deliver milk is June 27th. The state just broke its word again if we were to roll over for the board ' s ridiculous vote to shut it down without proper notice…Farmers will be dumping their milk in the parking lot of DNR if we don't step in and show the leadership they're craving and deserving
We need to regroup and get good business minds in there to figure out close – out plan in next yr or so, or re -vitalization plan for Ag.
If the Governor did indeed want the dairy to stay open, she wouldn't have talked about how they needed to "figure out [a] close-out plan."
One of her staffers sent her an e-mail after the dairy closed that strongly supports the account that I have outlined regarding the Governor's intentions for the Mat-Maid dairy:
Nice job governor! Despite the critics, namely halcro, mat-maid closes its books with money in the bank and there's still equipment and facilities to sell. Alaskans should know YOUR decision to put a new board in place, 600.0 to help w the transition, essentially granting an extention to the livelihood of farmers after the previous mngmnt and bd decided to abruptly close the doors, etc.
If the Governor never intended for the dairy to close, why would one of her staffers send her an e-mail congratulating her for the plant "clos[ing] its books with money in the bank?" If the Governor indeed wanted the dairy to survive, the staffer would not have sent her an e-mail saying how great it is that the dairy closed.
So, Governor Palin wanted the dairy closed just as everybody else but being a responsible executive, did it in a way that wouldn't create a lot of unintended consequences and victims. She didn't want the state to break its commitment to the farmers because keeping her word actually means something to the Governor.
Now, keep in mind that the Mat-Maid dairy issue had been going on in Alaska for a long time. It was something that should have been taken care of years ago, but no other administration touched it because it was a messy and contentious job, and attention seekers like Halcro would undoubtedly be on the sidelines complaining the entire time while Mat-Su farmers' livelihoods were at stake. Governor Palin was the only governor willing to correct the situation, and she did it in a way that wouldn't hurt the farmers who had nothing to do with corrupt practices of those running the dairy. She wanted to keep the Mat-Maid operations going temporarily, then to move it to a sort of managed bankruptcy that gradually phased out the state government's involvement and moved this service to the private sector. This is what the Palin administration did and to claim she had any other intention is grossly dishonest.
But Halcro does claim that Governor Palin had other intentions. He actually has the chutzpah to accuse her of engaging in cronyism. He states:
After Mat-Maid's overseer the Creamery Board had recommended shutting down the state owned dairy to prevent major financial losses to taxpayers, then-Gov. Sarah Palin began a public assault on the board and Mat-Maid executives. She falsely accused them of being dishonest and mismanaging the dairy. The Valley milk farmers, who stood to lose if a state bailout didn't happen, were Palin's neighbors and friends.
Over the next six months Palin fired Mat-Maid's management. Fired the Creamery Board. Installed her friends and neighbors to run the daily operations of Mat Maid and the state agency that grants agriculture loans. Accumulated record financial losses, after the transition, by keeping Mat-Maid open. And then allowed her appointed friends to loan themselves hundreds of thousands from the agriculture revolving loan fund to start a new dairy.
Today the end is near, and the story line continues to highlight how Palin's populist bailout has grown into a financial and possibly criminal disaster.
At the end of the day, the Palin-era dairy bailout will stand the test of time as a very costly and ill conceived attempt at government subsidized cow capital cronyism.
The Creamery Board wanted to shut down because they were trying to cover up their own corruption. Palin rightly fired the management because of these business practices, not because she was trying to give her "neighbors and friends" some sort of gift. And just who are these "neighbors and friends" Halcro is speaking of? Basically, any dairy farmer in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, as if she knew them all on a personal level. To call any farmer from her home district a "crony" is absurd. Please note that the Mat-Su Valley is one of the only places in Alaska were any of this sort of farming occurs.
The funny irony of all of this is that Andrew Halcro owns an Avis Car Rental business in Anchorage. He does his business at a publicly financed and maintained airport.You don't see him complaining taxpayer money going to help he and his fellow car rental business (or shall I call them his "neighbors and friends") owners, now do you? The people funded the airport, which directs traffic directly to his kiosks, allowing him to profit. This isn't really a big deal considering the nature of his business, it's just when someone projects themselves as carrying an ideological sword, while at the same time benefiting from that which they condemn, it's certainly telling of that person's character.
This latest hit-piece from Halcro shouldn't surprise anyone. The man is a known liar and fraud. Case in point, in 2009 C4P noted the time Andrew edited something Governor Palin had told a reporter for his radio program:
The "Bob and Mark Show" has called out Andrew Halcro for editing and distorting an answer given by Governor Palin to a reporter. Halcro edited the audio so that it appears as if Governor Palin gave a hesitant answer. However, closer inspection shows that Halcro edited the answer by one of Governor Palin's assistants and inserted it in front of Palin's response:
1. The voice Halcro used is a male voice!
2. The response given by Palin's assistant was a nearly two minute answer.
Bob and Mark added that Halcro "gets paid to hate Sarah Palin."
Halcro no longer gets paid to hate Sarah Palin (I don't think), but there's no doubt that he still does. His bitter resentment stemming from the 2006 election hasn't faded in the least. He hasn't moved on or grown as a person at all. Instead, he uses his "insider information" about people (none of which being Governor Palin) allegedly being investigated by the FBI, and turns it into another opportunity to bash the Governor by misleading people about what she really did during her tenure. It's sad, it's pathetic, and it's disingenuous. If people abused federal grant funds, let those people pay the consequences. Their actions are no reflection of Governor Palin's service to her constituents while in office, or what she was doing by dealing with this complex issue in a responsible manner.
By the way, if any of you plan on visiting Anchorage in the future, I recommend renting a car from Hertz, Thrifty, Enterprise, or any company other than Avis. There's no reason to give this deranged hypocrite your money.

Xconomy Forum: Robots Remake the Workplace
Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 1:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
How are robots changing the way we work and communicate? Who will be the Microsoft of robotics, bringing the technology to every business? What will the robot revolution mean for job growth (or loss)? Join us for an afternoon of demos, discovery, and discussion.
The question today isn't when robots will arrive in our offices, clinics, hospitals, farms, warehouses, and workshops—they already have. For entrepreneurs, the real opportunity now is to create robots so powerful, reliable, and affordable that every business will want one, or many. The last time hardware and software makers faced a similar market opening was in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as personal computers began to appear on every desktop. The business potential of robotics could be just as great.
For this special half-day event during National Robotics Week, we've sought out the founders and CEOs inventing real business models for the next phase of the robotics revolution—in manufacturing, health, schools, offices, energy, the home, and more—and the venture capitalists betting on their power to improve productivity and our quality of life. Meet them all at SRI International on April 11!

FUEL PUMP The electric fuel pump is mounted at the bottom of the fuel tank, which consists of the armature, magnet, impeller, brush, check valve and relief valve . The ECM controls its ON/OFF operation as controlled under the FUEL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM . When electrical energy is supplied to the fuel pump, the motor in the pump runs and together with the impel- ler . This causes a pressure difference to occur on both sides of the impeller as there are many grooves around it . Then the fuel is drawn through the inlet port, and with its pressure increased, it is discharged through the outlet port . The fuel pump has a check valve to keep some pressure in the fuel feed hose even when the fuel pump is stopped . Also, the relief valve is equipped in the fuel pump, which releases pressurized fuel to the fuel tank when the outlet of the fuel pressure has increased up to 450 -600 kPa (4.5- 6.0 kgf/cm2,64- 85 psi) . Relief valve Brush , ∎ I,' Check valve Magnet L Armature When the impeller is driven by the motor, pressure differential occurs between the front part and the rear part of the blade groove as viewed in angular direction due to fluid friction . This process continuously takes place causing fuel pressure to be built up . The pressurized fuel is then let out from the pump chamber and discharged through the motor section and the check valve . FUEL SYSTEM AND THROTTLE BODY 5- 3 Inlet port I I Impeller 5-4 FUEL SYSTEM AND THROTTLE BODY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR The fuel pressure regulator consists of the spring and valve . It keeps absolute fuel pressure of 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2,43 psi) to be applied to the injector at all times . When the fuel pressure rises more than 300 kPa (3 .0 kgf/cm2, 43 psi), the fuel pushes the valve in the regulator open and excess fuel returns to the fuel tank . 90 Spring 02 Valve FUEL INJECTOR The fuel injector consists of the solenoid coil, plunger, needle valve and filter . It is an electromagnetic type injection nozzle which injects fuel in the throttle body according to the signal from the ECM. When the solenoid coil of the injector is energized by the ECM, it becomes an electromagnet and attracts the plunger. At the same time, the needle valve incorporated with the plunger opens and the injector which is under the fuel pressure injects fuel in conic dispersion . As the lift stroke of the needle valve of the injector is set constant, the volume of the fuel injected at one time is determined by the length of time during which the solenoid coil is energized (injection time)

Up until now the only game I have ever written in C was a "Snake" game, like the ones you get on nokia mobiles. It used the BC4.5 functions to draw squares instead of what I should have done, writing directly to the graphics card. I can't remember how the hell I did it, but it worked smoothly and I got a high score of 28,000.
Well, anyway, I have been out of the programming loop (pun not intended) for some time now, and I have been thinking of writing a 3D game in C. What a huge leap. My C skills are pathetic, I never use floating point variables because they are "scary". Can someone please point me to a good. free compiler (I currrently use LCC-Win32, but I don't think it has "the stuff" for 3d programming) that I can use for writing Glide/D3D(microsoft, urg) programs, give me a little help, maybe an example. I don't have an email address at the moment, so just reply in this thread.

Steve Lynch's '57 Chevy Cameo
Have you ever driven by a rust bucket and thought about its history? What did it look like, how did it perform, who owned it, and where had it been? That thought, for a lot of us, starts many truck rebuilds. For Steve Lynch it was no different. Finding this '57 Chevy Cameo pickup buried deep in the backyard of a property in L.A. was the beginning of his rebuild. This truck had more than its fair share of rust and had not received very much love in recent years, but to Steve, this truck was it. Back in Idaho where he lives, he knew that the guys at Gary's Hotrods were up to the task. So he dragged it to Gary and Sonny (father and son) so that they could get their first look at the truck. From the expressions on their faces he wondered if he had made a bad decision in purchasing the truck, but after a close inspection, the guys assured Steve that they could transform the rusted piece of yard art into a showstopper, and boy, were they right.
The first step was to figure out how wild Steve wanted to go with the build. Rust repair was the name of the game for the body and frame. After grinding, cutting, and sanding for weeks, the body was finally in acceptable condition. The next step was to tend to the 50-year-old suspension parts. A quick call over to the guys at TCI and a few days of waiting for the new shiny parts, Sonny and Gary got to work on welding the necessary brackets to mount the new crossmember, and upper and lower control arms. The rear was also a TCI four-link kit that Sonny promptly squared and tacked into place before final welds were laid down. A 9-inch Ford rearend seems to be the most economical way to go, and with the 3.50 gears and a 4L60E transmission, the Chevy scooted nicely. For the powerplant a '06 Corvette Z06 was cleaned up with some chrome, and they got rid of some of the eyesore wiring.
With the body rot ground down and panels replaced, Sonny got to work on the final body filler. Soon enough he was ready for paint. Steve wanted a teal color with a splash of turquoise, so Sonny mixed a custom Sikkens paint to match what Steve had in mind. With the paint curing, the next step was planning out the interior and seating of the Cameo. Gary suggested that Steve take a look at what Ron Mangus could do and the rest was historywell, the seat anyway.
With the roller coaster of emotions going into building a custom Cameo we asked the father-and-son duo what, if any, would they change? They said not a darn thing; it came out better than expected.. ct

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (27-11, 6-6 PBC) deserved better in getting its 15-game home-unbeaten streak snapped by No. 3 Armstrong Atlantic State University (26-8, 11-3 PBC) 4-0 Monday in the first game at the Peeler Complex when they only allowed two hits. Sophomore Marisa Boyette (Marietta, Ga.) atoned for the team's first game misfortunes by pitching six innings of shutout ball in a 7-2 second-game win.
Georgia College lost its last home game on Groundhog Day (Feb. 2) and for the past eight weeks, opponents have been over-shadowed by a dominant Bobcat team at the Peeler Complex. Prior to today's doubleheader, the Bobcats had won their last 15 by a combined 87-28 score, with a third of those wins coming by shutout. The string of wins could have been extended to 17 as Georgia College out-hit the No. 3 Pirates in both games.
In the first game, freshman Carly Lewis (Seymour, Tenn.)(12-7) gave up just two hits and three earned-runs while going the distance and adding five strikeouts. Unfortunately, both of the hits were home runs and the Bobcats could not bring home any of the seven runners they left on the bags.
Offensively, sophomore Kristen Brooks (Brunswick, Ga.) led the way with two of the five Bobcat hits, while senior Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) climbed to No. 6 on the NCAA Division II all-time stolen bases list with one swipe to bring her career total to 156.
The second game was a different story. Georgia College scored runs in each of its first four at-bats. The Bobcats made a statement with an early 5-0 lead after two innings before going up by seven after four.
With junior Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.) at the plate, a wild pitch scored Okvist from third base and then a Humphries single to leftfield scored freshman Danielle Bernstein (Cumming, Ga.) for a 2-0 first inning lead.
In the second inning, the Bobcat sophomores took control. Sophomore Brooks doubled to score sophomore Becca Olson (Evans, Ga.), then sophomore Taylor Campbell (Warner Robins, Ga.) singled to score sophomore Lacey Najafi (Suwanee, Ga.) for a 4-0 score. Bernstein's late-inning sacrifice-fly scored Brooks and the Bobcats were in control 5-0 after two.
Georgia College didn't stop there, as an Okvist single in the third scored Humphries, while a Humphries double in the fourth scored freshman Savannah Chapman (Cumming, Ga.) to round out the Bobcats' scoring.
Humphries and Okvist accounted for four of the team's nine hits with each getting a pair. Six different Bobcats registered RBI with Humphries getting two.
Georgia College will resume PBC play with a doubleheader Wednesday, April 2 at GRU Augusta starting at 2 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Gonzalez starts as Rockies look to get back on track
ATLANTA — It's unfair to ask one hitter to change a baseball game. But when a team loses its hottest bat, it doesn't help. Carlos Gonzalez, out since straining his left hamstring rounding third base last Sunday, is starting tonight and leading off. He has been the Rockies' best hitter this season.
What's more, he creates pressure on the defense with his power and speed. He's hardly a traditional leadoff man.
A couple of things, that was a typo/brain freeze yesterday regarding the roster move. Taylor Buchholz was moved to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man roster spot for Beimel. I was working on about 4 hours sleep and I am at three weeks without Red Bull or Diet Mountain Dew. I went without both for years, then fell back into the trap this winter while writing a book. Anyway, I don't drink coffee — in fact I have never had a cup in my life — so I am fighting my energy levels right now.
Diet Snapple and Diet Lipton tea have become my new vices.
As for the lineup, since you asked:
LF Gonzalez
CF Fowler
1B Helton
SS Tulowitzki
RF Hawpe
C Olivo
3B Stewart
2B Barmes
RHP Jimenez
I wonder if Spilborghs, after a solid game, would have started if Gonzalez was ready to play CF. My guess is that manager Jim Tracy wants to ease him back, and obviously CF is a little more taxing.

According to a report from the World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT), some of the first PTs on the scene were part of 2 UK-based teams, and more are expected to join the efforts as other organizations arrive in the country. The WCPT report stated that the PTs joining the relief work are attached to a UK-based international trauma response team, with Handicap International readying teams of emergency specialists—including rehabilitation professionals—to join the providers the organization had in the Philippines before the disaster. According to USA Today, the area hardest hit by the typhoon is in dire need of adequate medical facilities and professionals, and relief is just now beginning to arrive more than a week after the event. Suggestions for how to donate to and help relief efforts can be found on several websites, including this Huffington Post report.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox June 29, 2013
Summer Pool Workout
William Wilson wrote in his 1883 book, The Swimming Instructor, "The experienced swimmer, when in the water, may be classed among the happiest of mortals in the happiest of moods, and in the most complete enjoyment of the happiest of exercises."
Summer is here, it's time to take advantage of the unique exercise potential of your backyard pool or local pool.
Every summer, once the water is warm, I start an exercise program in my pool. I swim. 1000 yds / 3-4 times per week. I started early this year, June 7th.
It's amazing at how quickly swimming restores my muscle tone, and although I've not stepped on a scale, I've slimmed down by at least 5 lbs. After just a few weeks of swimming, I get very visible results. A slimmer, tanner me. :-)
I don't swim year 'round, or do much other exercise at other times of the year, now is the time to squeeze 12 months of fitness into 3 short months, or until the water gets too cold, whichever comes first!
Benefits of Swimming
1. Very little exercise gear needed
A pair of shorts, some good goggles and a towel is all that's needed. Oh, and a pool of course. I do my laps at the local swim club, where I can swim a decent length before turning around.
2. Burns more calories than most other exercises
About 800 Calories per hour. My little 1000 yd swim workout takes just over 30 minutes, so I suppose it's something near 400 calories. Not too bad!
3. Don't need to shower afterwards
And there's nothing quite as fresh feeling as coming from the pool after a good swim. Bonus if you get to drip dry in the mid-day sun. However, you should shower before you swim, to keep bacteria, oils and soaps from entering the pool.
4. So meditative; clears the mind
The rhythmic breathing and repetitive motion can put you into a trance. Same for biking and running, but in the water world, you can let go a bit more, and clear your mind of the day's thoughts.
5. Exercises nearly every muscle group on the body
Swimming is a complete exercise, working the body from your head to your toes. The resistance of the water surrounding a swimmer gives the whole body a workout, especially if you mix up the strokes.
6. Buoyancy of water supports 90% of your body weight
When you are in the water in a prone position, 90% of your body is supported by the water, making you feel light as a feather. In addition, the surrounding water resistance protects your body, by being a very low-impact exercise.
7. Improves muscle strength and bone tone
Swimming tones and strengthens muscles. It's not an exercise for bulking up, it's one for slimming down. But did you know that swimming also works to strengthen bones? It's True!
8. Improves breathing capacity
A swimming study of children in China found that swimming improves lung volume and technique, resulting in less mouth-breathing and snoring, and reduced difficulties with asthma.
9. Good for your Heart
Swimming is an aerobic exercise, which elevates your heart rate and contributes to better cardiac and circulatory health. It can really get your heart pumping!
10. Vitamin D
Can't deny the summer tan! I take my swims during the sunny part of the day, and manage to squeeze in a little sun before and after my swim.
Other Pool Fitness Ideas
Swimming laps isn't for everyone, I understand. I grew up on swim teams, so it's comfortable for me. But there are many other ways to exercise in your pool.
The Home Swimmer Stationary Swim System has done away with the flip turn. Attach the belt to your waist and swim against the resistance of a heavy rubber cord.
Pool Basketball - A rousing game of pool basketball, can really burn some calories. For more aerobic effect, place the backboard in the deep end of the pool, requiring constant treading water.
Pool Aerobics - Using some floatation device, like the AquaJogger or a pool noodle, you can perform dozens of different routines to tone specific parts of the body.
Jumping Jacks - Done in the deep end of the pool, and differently than on land. Start in a crouched position on the deep end floor, and spring up, pulling your arms down. When you break the surface take a big breath of air. Then use your arms to pull up on the water, to force you back down to the bottom, into the starting position. Repeat.
- Rob

Stampede Rally To Top Stars 4-3 In Overtime
LINCOLN, NE -- For the fifth time this season, the Sioux Falls Stampede rallied on the road to win.
Trailing 3-2 in the third period, Bo Pellah scored to tie the game and eventually force overtime where C.J. Franklin scored just 57 seconds in to give the Stampede a 4-3 victory over the Lincoln Stars at the Ice Box on Saturday night. Franklin ended the night with two goals and an assist while Art Brey stopped 22 of 25 shots to earn the win in goal for the Stampede who improved to 5-2-0 on the season.
The Stampede were given some power play opportunities in the first period, but their struggles from the previous night carried over as they were unable to score on a 55 second 5-on-3 advantage. The game remained scoreless until 17:41 when Franklin tallied his second goal of the season. Dennis Kravchenko brought the puck into the Stampede zone and dropped the pass to Franklin inside the right circle who wristed a shot past the stick side of Lincoln netminder Michael Bitzer. The Herd outshot the Stars 8-3 in the period and took that 1-0 lead into the locker room.
Michael Buonincontri took an elbow to the head from Lincoln's Connor Frantti early in the second period, putting the Stampede on a five minute power play. The Herd cashed in at 4:25 when Zeb Knutson tallied his ninth goal of the season. Franklin brought the puck down the left wing boards and sent a pass into the slot for Knutson who wristed a shot into the upper right hand corner of the net to give the Stampede a 2-0 edge.
The Herd controlled play much of the remainder of the second period until the final five minutes when the Stars responded by scoring three goals in less than three minutes. Brandon Smith scored on the power play at 16:53 to the get the Stars on the board. Moments later, the Stars were back on the power play and scored again when Josh Simonson skated around the Herd defense and wristed a shot past Brey. Lincoln took the lead with just 23 seconds remaining when Jonathan Desbiens wristed a shot through the pads of Brey and the Stars headed into the locker room with a 3-2 edge.
The Stampede got a chance to tie the game 6:18 into the third period when they went on the power play and cashed in. Peter Hand fed Pellah at the left point where Pellah blasted the puck through traffic and past the glove side of Bitzer to tie the game 3-3. The Herd gained the momentum back after the goal, but neither team would score, eventually forcing overtime.
Sioux Falls went on a rare power play in overtime just 39 seconds into the extra session. It didn't take the Stampede long to convert. Knutson fed Franklin just outside the left circle who quickly wristed the puck past Bitzer to give the Stampede a 4-3 overtime victory.
Lincoln outshot the Stampede 25-24 on the night and went 2-for-5 on the power play while the Stampede were 3-for-7.
The Herd return to the road next Friday and Saturday when they travel to Muskegon to face the Lumberjacks.

The Beverly Hills Wood Roof Ordinance requires all roofs in the City to meet the Class A non-wood roof fire retardant standards. The Ordinance further restricts for wood to be used as an allowable roofing material.
Wood Roof Compliance Date: July 1, 2014
Historical Properties are exempt.
Compliance Options for Existing Wood Roofs
Option 1. Re-roof property with a non-wood roofing material. A re-roof permit is required to be obtained from the City of Beverly Hills Community Development Department.
Option 2. Apply a temporary fire retardant spray to non-class A wood roofs. A no-fee permit is required to be obtained from the City of Beverly Hills Community Development Department.
Historical Properties. Historical properties do not need to comply with the wood roof ordinance.
History of the Wood Roof Ordinance
Beverly Hills' inclement climate, seasonal Santa Ana winds, and topography put it at extreme fire risk. Over the last decade there have been many catastrophic wildland fires that have damaged or destroyed thousands of homes in southern California and throughout the nation. Between 1994 -1998, there was an average of 4,200 wood shingle fires per year (NFPA, 2001).
The City of Beverly Hills passed a Wood Roof Ordinance in 1989 requiring that all new roofs must be fire-retardant roof covering or roof assembly that is listed as a Class A assembly. This Ordinance also required that all roofs in the City of Beverly Hills meet this standard by July 1, 2013. In 2007, the Ordinance was modified to not allow wood as a roof covering.
On April 12, 2007, a brush fire began in neighboring City of Los Angeles in the Franklin Canyon area. The wind driven embers spread throughout the community and ignited the roofs on three large homes in the City of Beverly Hills near Beverly Drive and Hillcrest Drive causing extensive damage to two of them and moderate damage to the other. The three homes were clad with non-rated wood shake roofs allowing the wind driven embers to embed and ignite the homes causing extensive damage.
The current Ordinance is located in the Municipal Code Section 1505.1 through 1505.1.1. It states the following:
Section 1505.1 General. Except as otherwise provided in this section, roof coverings or roof assemblies on any structure regulated by this Code shall be a fire-retardant roof covering or roof assembly that is listed as a Class A assembly in accordance with ASTM E 108 or UL 790. In addition, no wood shall be used as a roof covering material. Noncombustible roof coverings may be applied in accordance with the manufacture's requirements in lieu of a fire-retardant roofing assembly.
Exception: Roof repairs of less than 10 percent of the total roof area on existing structures in any one year period may be repaired with a roof covering that meets the same fire retardant standard as the existing roof.
Section 1505.1.1 Class A roof covering requirement. Notwithstanding any other requirement of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code, no later than July 1, 2013, all roof coverings in the City of Beverly Hills shall be fire retardant Class A.
2013 Wood Roof Amendments
In consideration of balancing the overarching community fire safety needs along with the needs of property owners who have expressed various concerns over replacing their roofs by July 1, 2013, staff was directed to amend the California Building and Residential Codes, as adopted and amended by the City and contained in Section 9-1-202 and Section 9-1-2A01 of Article 2 Chapter 1 of Title 9 of Chapter 1 of Title 9 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code, as follows:

Oscar made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
The annual Hollywood awards derby was launched in grand fashion with the second annual Governors Awards, where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences bestowed honors on some of the most indelible forces in cinematic history, paying tribute to Francis Ford Coppola, Jean-Luc Godard and Eli Wallach.
In the second year of shifting its significant lifetime career honors from the televised Academy Awards ceremony to a posh, private and decidedly more heartfelt – and ribald – gathering in the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood & Highland complex.
Coppola received the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, given to film producers for amassing a high-quality body of work. In addition to producing his own iconic directorial accomplishments, including "The Godfather" films, "The Conversation" and "Apocalypse Now," Coppola has overseen the productions of "The Black Stallion," "American Graffiti" and his director daughter Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation," "Marie Antoinette" and the forthcoming "Somewhere," among others.
Director Kathryn Bigelow, actor/comedian Don Novello (in character as Father Guido Sarducci), son Roman Coppola, and longtime friend and fellow filmmaker George Lucas paid tribute to Coppola. "He was our leader. He was our inspiration," said Lucas of his friend's role leading the charge of a new vanguard of filmmakers in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "He's truly the godfather of a generation who changed the course of motion picture history."
"The fact that this is the Thalberg Award, the significance is not lost on me, because this is an award for producing," Coppola told the crowd. "This is not about my own writing and my own filmmaking. It's about the talent that I came to really value.
Wallach collected an Honorary Oscar for his vast collection of memorable performances in films such as "Baby Doll," "The Magnificent Seven," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "The Misfits," "Mystic River" and, most recently, "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps." The 95-year-old actor received tributes from acting cohorts Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Josh Brolin, James Karen and singer Tony Bennett.
"I'm deeply moved by this honor," said Wallach. "Your recognition of my artistry means something very dear to me. I don't act to live. I live to act."
In a somewhat controversial portion of the evening, not-present Godard – the French New Wave auteur behind influential films including "Breathless," "A Woman Is a Woman" and "Contempt" who has famously taken swipes at Hollywood and the Academy Awards during his long career and has been charged with anti-Semitic sentiments – received tributes from cinematographer Haskell Wexler, film editor and director Mark Goldblatt, producer Mark Johnson, composers Charles Fox and Bruce Boughton, actor Vincent Cassel, documentarian Lynn Littman and writer/director Phil Alden Robinson.
Also honored was film historian Kevin Brownlow, esteemed for The Parade's Gone By, his scholarly books on the silent era, and documentary works on Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. Also praised for his efforts in film restoration, Brownlow received an Honorary Oscar from actor Kevin Spacey.
