CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are finally streaking in a positive direction.
Rookie Travis Benjamin's electrifying 93-yard punt return touchdown gave Cleveland momentum and the Browns won their third straight game, 30-7 over the emotionally drained Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Benjamin's game-changing runback helped the Browns (5-8) continue their resurgence under second-year coach Pat Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland remains uncertain. The Browns, who opened this season with five consecutive losses, have one more win than last season, and their longest winning streak since 2009.
Rookie Trent Richardson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for Cleveland.
Jamaal Charles ran for 165 yards, breaking off an 80-yard TD run on the game's first play for Kansas City.
It was the first road game for the Chiefs (2-11) following linebacker Jovan Belcher's suicide. The 25-year-old killed his girlfriend at their home before driving to the team's practice facility on Dec. 1 and shooting himself.
Richardson's second TD early in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 27-7 lead and finally put away the Chiefs, who a week ago were able to pull together and win at home over Carolina, less than one day after Belcher's unspeakable act. On Saturday, Charles, several teammates and general manager Scott Pioli attended a memorial service in Texas for Kasandra Perkins, who was killed by Belcher.
Coach Romeo Crennel had rallied his team through the difficult ordeal, but it may have been too much to expect the Chiefs to repeat last week's effort.
Charles was able to return after sustaining a rib injury that knocked him out one series. Kansas City, though, lost leading receiver Dwayne Bowe, who injured his ribs in the first half and didn't return.
Without Bowe, quarterback Brady Quinn was without his top target. Quinn, who had his best game as a pro last week, finished 11 of 22 for 159 yards and one interception.
Phil Dawson kicked field goals of 23, 24 and 34 yards for the Browns. His first kick made him the 25th player in NFL history to make 300 field goals.
The 23-point margin of victory was Cleveland's largest since 2003 — a significant accomplishment for a franchise that has had 11 double-digit loss seasons since 1999.
Benjamin's 93-yard punt return — the longest in team history — gave the Browns a 10-7 lead.
Just before the snap, Benjamin lined up to block Kansas City's gunner before running back 50 yards and switching spots with Josh Cribbs, who rushed up the middle. Benjamin fielded the kick inside his 10, cut sharply left at the 20, picked up a few blockers, made punter Dustin Colquitt miss and outran the rest of Kansas City's coverage unit.
The return by the speedy Benjamin, a fourth-round pick from Miami, was one yard longer than Eric Metcalf's TD at Cincinnati on Sept. 4, 1994.
Now with Benjamin joining Richardson, quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Josh Gordon as playmakers, the Browns have a solid offensive foundation for the future. On defense, several rookies, including linemen Billy Winn and John Hughes have contributed all season.
Shurmur and his staff have the Browns headed in the right direction, but there's no guarantee new owner Jimmy Haslam will allow them to stay next season.
Cleveland started the second half at their 40 after Kansas City's Ryan Succop shanked the kickoff out of bounds. Two plays later, Weeden nearly threw an interception, but tight end Ben Watson wrestled the ball away from Chiefs safety Eric Berry to keep the drive alive.
Richardson then plowed in for his eighth rushing TD, and later got his ninth to tie the team rookie record set by Hall of Famer Jim Brown (1957).
The Browns came in worrying about Charles' ability to score from anywhere on the field, and he only needed 12 seconds to make them more concerned.
Taking a handoff to the right on the first snap, Charles busted through Cleveland's line and took off, running away from the Browns defensive backs. Charles had a 91-yard TD run earlier this season against New Orleans.
Kansas City drove it to Cleveland's 3-yard line on its next possession, set up by Quinn's 47-yard pass to Bowe. But the Chiefs bogged down and Succop's 27-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright — the first of many signs this would not be Kansas City's day.

Town Square
Jobs addresses iPhone 4 issues in press conference
Original post made by Nick V, Mountain View Voice Staff Writer, on Jul 16, 2010
The notoriously tight-lipped company invited only a select number of reporters -- including writers from [Web Link Gizmodo] and [Web Link TechCrunch] -- to the event, and would say only that it planned to [Web Link talk about the iPhone 4].
Shortly after Jobs took the stage, he told the audience that his company seeks to deliver its customers the best experience possible, but acknowledged that they sometimes make mistakes.
"We're not perfect," Gizmodo's Joel Johnson wrote, transcribing Jobs' speech in a live blog on Gizmodo. "Phones aren't perfect. We know that, you know that. But we want to make all our users happy. If you don't know that, you don't know Apple."
Jobs' used a slideshow in his presentation defending what he referred to as "antennagate" -- the recent furor over the iPhone 4's reception problems. Shortly after Apple released the device users complained that when they held the phone a certain way, covering up a thin black strip on the phones lower-left hand edge, that reception would be lost and calls would be dropped.
Defending his product, Jobs said that competing phones also suffered from lapses in signal strength when portions of their exterior were covered by the user's hand.
Using photographs projected on the screen behind him, Jobs demonstrated how competing smart phones -- the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Droid Eris -- would also lose reception when held a certain way.
"It's a challenge for the whole industry," Jobs said, according to the TechCrunch live blog from the event. "Phones aren't perfect."
In testing, Jobs said, Apple did know that reception would suffer if the phone was held in a way that covered the thin strip on the lower left-hand edge. But, he said, according to Kumparak's live blog stream, "We didn't think it'd be a big problem."
Jobs said the iPhone 4 drops calls more frequently than the iPhone 3GS, but he said, according to Kumparak, that it is "less than one additional call per 100."
In an attempt to calm the storm of complaints, Apple will include a free phone case with every new purchase of an iPhone 4. The case covers the vulnerable spot on the exterior of the phone, which, when covered, results in a drop in signal strength. Jobs said that Apple will also reimburse anyone who has bought the official Apple "bumper" case for their iPhone 4 and will fully refund all iPhone 4 customers who return the device within 30 days.

How to Use Kegel Balls
It's well known that a toned pelvic floor means a tighter vagina and improved continence, but did you know that strong pelvic muscles also lead to more powerful sensations during arousal and stronger, better orgasms for all involved?
To watch videos, you need Version 9 or greater of the Flash Player. Click here to see which Flash Version you have. If you have Version 8 or less, get the latest Flash Player here.
Jiggle balls are designed to help you locate your pelvic floor muscles and work them effectively. Also known as Ben Wa balls, Burmese balls, geisha balls or love balls, Kegel balls (which is their proper name) are inserted into the vagina and by holding them in and clenching around them you will target and strengthen the correct muscle groups.
Jiggle balls contain small weighted balls on the inside that roll around as you move, creating some excellent internal sensations and reminding you to squeeze against the ball.
Featured product: Tracey Cox Supersex Toner Balls (£18.99)
How to Use Kegel Balls
Jiggle balls are easy to use and very discreet - practise at home first and as you increase in confidence, you can even wear them while you do the shopping!
Remove your jiggle balls from the packet and clean them thoroughly with hot, soapy water or a spritz of Lovehoney Fresh Sex Toy Cleaner (£5.99).
Apply a generous amount of lubricant like the Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant (£6.99) to the outside of the jiggle balls and the entrance of your vagina. This will help you to insert them and also exercise your pelvic floor muscles as your vagina learns to grip them and hold them in place.
Gently insert the first ball by pressing it against the opening of the vagina until it slides in.
There will usually be a small length of plastic or string between the first and second ball so tuck this inside you and start pressing the second ball against your vaginal opening.
Once the two balls are inside, you can push them in further, until you feel that they're safe and secure. The removal loop or string should remain outside the body.
Your body is automatically trained to hold the balls inside you, so you don't have to worry about them falling out! However, if you want to remove them at any point, simply pull at the removal loop gently until they slide free. It may be a good idea to re-lubricate the entrance to the vagina before you do.
Lighter and larger balls like the Tracey Cox Supersex Toner Balls (pictured above left £18.99) are suitable for beginners as they are the easiest to hold in. Smaller and heavier kegel balls like the Fifty Shades of Grey Inner Goddess Silver Balls (pictured right £29.99) will challenge you as your strength increases.
You can keep your kegel balls in for as long as feels comfortable, but you should make sure you never try to pee with them in. Always remove your kegel balls first.

Fallow on tax
Brian Fallow writes in NZ Herald:
Large chunks of the tax base resemble icebergs, drifting north into the warm waters of the global and digital economy.
Policymakers have a term for this: "base erosion and profit shifting" – BEPS for short.
They are grappling with the changing nature of international commerce, where the eternal desire to minimise the tax you pay is assisted by the rapid growth of e-commerce, and by the opportunities presented by countries' different tax laws and the ability of multinational firms to locate debt funding and intellectual property wherever will maximise the bottom line.
As part of that effort, finance ministers from 20 major economies, meeting in Sydney last Sunday, agreed to adopt a regime for automatic information sharing among tax authorities.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) calls it the Common Reporting and Due Diligence Standard. You can translate that as: "We are going to make your banks tell on you."
The erosion of the tax base globally is a problem, but so is erosion at home.
Let me give you an example of how you can erode the tax base locally, and legally.
- Set up an incorporated society. It can be any sort of incorporated society.
- The society doesn't have to pay income tax but it does have to deduct tax from its employees and pay GST.
- Now if you don't pay that tax, then the IRD can come and liquidate you, which means the society gets wound up.
- So set up a limited liability company, and have some of your transactions go through that company instead of the society. You can have the lease assigned to it, and charge management fees. You can also charge your salary through it also, as that then allows you to deduct stuff off tax.
- Have the limited liability company spend all its money on behalf of the society, and not pay any tax to the IRD. This means you have more money to spend.
- IRD liquidates the company, leaving the society untouched and the IRD ends up out of pocket by say $150,000 – while the society carries on unscathed.
This is all totally legal, using a crafty mixture of corporate tax structures and non payments.
I look forward to political parties putting forward policies on how to stop the erosion of the tax base in this way.

To pull off a scam like this, you need a patsy. Someone to distract and take the heat from what you are doing, by beeing seen as the ones to worry about.
Thinking back to Just before the UFC kicked off proper, there was the release of "Nico", or "Above the Law". This film featured a fictional martial art that no-one had ever heard of before - Aikido.
In the following years, this previously non-existent art became unexplicably popular, carrying with it it's own accusations of brainwashing and cult mentality. Eventually, taking the fall for being "ineffective". All the things BJJ was trying to conceal in its own practice.
Fast forward a few years into the future, and Steven Seagal (The founder of aikido) is very much inside the UFC tent, pissing out.
Now, you tell me... Coincidence??

Good, like the version with guns. Except one problem. Some of the weapons don't seem to fire fast enough to complete the expert challenges. The crossbows, and the longbow called "the marksman". Firing as fast as the weapons seem capable of firing and not missing a shot I consistently get the same times, which are about 2 seconds above the challenge mark. I suggest you alter the challenge times on those, or adjust the reload time on the weapons.

there is not a lot of difference between the different bows AND the bow pulling back sound and hitting target noise is SO repetitive that i wanted to mute sound BUT you don't have that so i just turned up my music. It is also very short it took me barely any time to beat the campaign and unlock all the weapons
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice Game
I really like the aret style of this game and i think that the physics and game play suit it very well. I did't find it as thrilling as the 'gun game' but it was a nice addition to the series.
The only let down about this game is that its not really my thing.
I highly recommend this game for a front page.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Bow game!?!
Dude, awesome, maybe as good as the gun game, just trying out everything now, but it all seems great!
Now make medals like in the gun game and it's complete.
One REAL bad thing is the music, it's kinda repetetive.

GW Women's Tennis Names Maria Fuccillo Assistant Coach
Rockville, MD Native Brings Experience With Nationally Ranked Program to Colonials
July 24, 2013
WASHINGTON – George Washington head women's tennis coach Dawn Buth announced today that University of Virginia standout Maria Fuccillo will join the Colonials' staff as an assistant coach.
A local product from Rockville, Md., Fuccillo graduated from Virginia this spring as a member of the most successful class in Cavaliers' women's tennis history after amassing 74 dual wins and making four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including three trips to the Sweet Sixteen.
"We are so pleased to welcome Maria to our program," said Buth."Having competed for a first-rate team, Maria knows what it takes to be successful. She will add tremendous value to our program and our student-athletes will surely benefit."
During her final collegiate season, Fuccillo guided her team to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and a No. 15 final team ranking by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). Over her four-year career with the Cavaliers, Fuccillo compiled an overall singles record of 95-53 and was individually ranked as high as No. 76 by the ITA. She also earned a 102-56 career doubles record and was ranked as high as No. 16 in the ITA doubles rankings.
"I am really excited and look forward to joining Coach Buth's staff and working with the women's tennis team," Fuccillo said. "High goals have been set for the program and I'm ready to help the team do what it can to achieve those goals."
Throughout the summer, Fuccillo has been working with Matz Clausen at the Ossa Academy in Potomac, Md., where she coaches high school juniors who aspire to play tennis in college.
In addition to working with the Colonials' squad, Fuccillo will pursue a master's degree in education at GW.

The design of Bobak Ferdowsi's mohawk is intricate, with highlights of red and fun stars dyed yellow on the side. According to The Atlantic, Bobak changes his hair for each new mission, this particular style meant to reflect the science rover's expedition to Mars. Advertisement Advertisement And the Internet took notice. Including 8 Whole Bits with the 8-bit GIF design you see below. We at Kotaku felt inspired by the video game art design, and decided Bobak would be perfect as Mass Effect's Shepard. Hence the totally not photoshopped representation above, done by our own Chris Person.Fun fact: the handsome Bobak Ferdowsi is Iranian-American. So am I. He pilots an SUV-sized Mars rover from 300 million miles away. I routinely play video games with a wireless controller. The coincidences are uncanny, people.

First Vertu Android smartphone leaked early
Former Nokia-owned luxury handset maker Vertu has had its first Android-powered handset leaked early. Now British-owned, the company has also dropped the Symbian OS that previously powered Vertu handsets with the more ubiquitous Android OS. The leaked model is said to be called the Vertu Ti, which incredibly, is expected to retail for anywhere upwards of $4000 or more, despite modest specifications.

The spec sheet for the Vertu Ti does not equate to its retail price. More in line with a mid-range Android handset, the Ti will sport a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and center on a low-resolution 800x480 display. It's battery is a mere 1,250mAh, despite the thickness of the housing, while it will also run Android 4.04 'Ice Cream Sandwich' instead of the latest flavor of Jelly Bean.
Considered status symbols because of the materials used in their construction, the Vertu Ti can be expected to utilise Titanium, given its name, as well as steel, leather and will incorporate a sapphire glass screen and a polished ceramic mount for the logo. The handset is expected to be officially announced on February 12. [via Pocket-lint]

Most e-book conversation over the last year did not end in happy thoughts for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The company was the central protagonist of an antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in April 2012, alleging the iPhone maker and several book publishers colluded to raise e-book prices. While all the publishers ultimately settled with the government, Apple is still in court defending itself. The next hearing has been scheduled for June 3.
But in some positive news, an analysis by Asymco's Horace Dediu has found that e-books are a very strong component of Apple's sales, possibly generating about $1.3 billion in payments and grossing about $1.8 billion. The growth has been remarkably strong, too. In June 2011 Apple announced that 130 million e-books had been sold through iTunes. By October 2012, the number had gone up to 400 million.
With 270 million e-books sold in the 16 months between the two announcements, Apple approximately sold about an average of 17 million units per month. It also suggested e-book sales of about 200 million units just in 2012, Dediu added.

- //Jeanne Darst
It's clear from early in Jeanne Darst's memoir, Fiction Ruined my Family that her non-traditional upbringing built character. This is a pertinent reminder, as the book's depressing themes of alcoholism and unfulfilled dreams could easily turn into a sob fest. But Darst has the comedic timing and ear for dialogue that make her writing both entertaining and enlightening.
Darst, who is also an actress and playwright, constructs her memoir in a series of wittily named chapters like "Les Missourables" and "Give Us this Day our Daily Bourguignon". She begins in her hometown of St. Louis, where she's the youngest of four daughters in a prominent St. Louis family. Her relatives on her dad's side include a great uncle who was mayor of St. Louis, and grandparents who were both well-known journalists. Darst's father was also a journalist, but gave up reporting to try writing fiction. Her mother comes from a wealthy St. Louis family, and was once a champion teenage equestrian who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
The family moves to Amagansett, Long Island when Darst is seven. They plan to only stay for a year, just long enough for her father to finish writing his novel. But instead her parents spend most of their time socializing with other writers, and her father makes little progress on his own writing. The family never returns to St. Louis, and they eventually move to Westchester County. Her father gets a job in the city at CBS, and her mother takes on the role of an upper middle-class housewife, albeit one who stands over the stove drinking and chain smoking. However, this period of normalcy is brief, as her dad quits after only six months to return to his novel. Darst's mother continues to drink heavily, and the family lives meagerly off her inheritance and by selling family heirlooms.
Darst's adolescent years are filled with the kind of scenarios that could easily be plots of a quirky sitcom. She recounts the time her mother showed up at a keg party she was attending, already drunk and ready to fill her cup. Her dad is constantly around, spending his days in a cluttered office, always ready to talk about his literary idols, especially F. Scott Fitzgerald. Her mom grows increasingly frustrated by his inability to provide for the family. When Darst goes away to college at SUNY-Purchase, the parents divorce and move to the city.
Darst continues drinking in college, but also finds a passion for playwriting and acting. She must reconcile the fact that she's turned out like both of her parents, a writer and an alcoholic. After college Darst assumes the life of many creative types in New York: working dead-end jobs, living in crappy apartments, and drinking too much. Her relationship with her parents is mercurial. Darst's father continues to be an endearing but frustrating presence in her life, and her mother becomes increasingly reclusive in her small Manhattan apartment.
By contrast, her sisters all lead conventional adult lives with kids and permanent residences. Eventually Darst hits rock bottom when she looks in the mirror and sees her mother staring back at her. She gets sober, gets married and has a son. It's not until her mom dies unexpectedly, alone in an apartment filled with mice droppings, that the true sadness of her mother's illness and lost potential are realized.
The tone of the memoir is droll, but also shows that Darst cares deeply about her family, flaws and all. Earlier this year Darst read an excerpt of her memoir on the radio program, This American Life, and this is a fitting format for such conversational writing style. This is her first book, and Darst probably has enough material for a sequel (or two), but even if her future subject matter is unrelated to her family, she's earned a captive audience with this debut.

OWC Releases the Mercury AccelsiorM mSATA PCIe Controller
Other World Computing (OWC) http://www.macsales.com, a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, today introduced the OWC Mercury AccelsiorM, a Mac and PC-bootable, fully supported PCIe controller card that accepts any standard 50 mm mSATA Solid State Drive. By utilizing the fastest data interface available in a Mac Pro or PC-the PCIe slot-the Mercury AccelsiorM can offer data transfer speeds that exceed 3 Gb/s SSDs .up to 380 MB/s.
User-Friendly, Yet Robust for Demanding Uses
As easy to install as a memory module, yet robust enough to handle the rigors of professional multimedia production environments, the half-height AccelsiorM card is the clear choice for Mac Pro and PC owners who desire the maximum performance from their 3G data bus-based machines. Waiting for I/O-intensive apps like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Pro Tools to render, capture or process will become a distant memory; business critical applications are given an instant boost; and game level loading, object streaming, and save times can be reduced for more play time and less waiting.
Fully Bootable, No Drivers Needed
The OWC Mercury AccelsiorM PCIe controller card is AHCI compliant, so no drivers are required for a truly Plug and Play performance-boosting solution. Besides having the ability to turn a computer into a speed demon, this high-performance PCIe controller card is the only Mac-bootable, Mac supported card available.
Future-Ready for Growing Storage Needs
Greatly improving data transfer rates is only one of the benefits of the AccelsiorM. With the ability to use any standard 50 mm mSATA SSD, consumers can meet expanding storage needs while extending the useful life of their investment in the AccelsiorM and their mSATA SSDs.
Keeps Drive Bays Open
Because AccelsiorM can utilize any open PCIe slot in a Mac or PC, consumers can keep their existing traditional footprint drive array intact and even add to their storage capacity.
Pricing, Availability
The Mercury AccelsiorM PCIe controller card is priced at $49.95 MSRP, comes with a three-year warranty, and is available immediately from Other World Computing as well as through select retailers. This controller card only model joins the previously announced, ready-to-run Accelsior PCIe SSD which features two on-board SandForce Driven "blades" with up to 960 GB total capacity and data transfer speeds up to 820 MB/s.
"Expanding our Accelsior line is quite rewarding because these products greatly extend the useful life of a Mac Pro or PC," said Larry O'Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. "Whether looking for a turnkey solution or a bare card to add sourced drives to, an Accelsior PCIe solution is the product professionals should choose when seeking the highest level of drive performance from their machine."
Most Comprehensive SSD Line For Macs And PCs
OWC's Mercury line of performance leading, world speed record-breaking SSDs offers a model for nearly every Mac and PC produced over the past decade in capacities from 30 GB to 960 GB starting from $49.99. For more information, visit: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/

text: Back in April, we reported on the rise of pie---and indicated that Keegan Gerhard and Lisa Bailey of D Bar Desserts were looking to open a pie shop. They're still in the market, but it appears Frank Bonanno (Mizuna, Luca D'Italia, Osteria Marco, and Bones) will beat them to it. On Monday, he signed a contract with Larimer Associates to open Wednesday's Pie in Larimer Square. Bonanno hopes to open the tiny shop, which will consist of a pie counter and a rail with bar stools, in early November. Each Wednesday, he'll bake three varieties of pie---starting with apple, banana-cream, and a seasonal flavor---which can be purchased by the slice or whole. Bonanno is undecided on whether there will be an à la mode option (we're pulling for yes), but he says there will definitely be ice-cold milk. At the moment, Bonanno is sourcing local milk sold in glass bottles. Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (or until sell out), 1422 Larimer St.

Using Skype, Artist Creates Touching Family Photos
We live in a world in which some of the people we are closest to are often not near us at all.
When we document our day-to-day existence in photographs and Instagrams, these people are absent. Their presence in our lives is absent in our digital memories.
Photographer John Clang's series Being Together seeks to correct this. Using Skype and projectors, he captures families visually as they are virtually (see slideshow below).
"In these images," Clang told The Atlantic via email, "I am marking the time for these families, enabling them to remember these strange moments of togetherness with the technology presently available. The picture doesn't stop here, it lingers on in their memory. It embraces the intimacy and closeness of a family, no matter how far apart they are."
The project grew out of personal experience. Clang moved from Singapore, where his parents are, to New York in 1999. In the 13 years since, the experience of that distance has changed dramatically. "When I first moved to New York, I had to limit my calls to my parents as overseas calls were very expensive. Every time I call, I [would] time it and make a note, just in case the phone company bills me for more than what I've used. Now I just pick up the phone and call whenever I want to, as though they are in the same city as me."
He visits his parents once or twice a year, but he sought to document their time "together" over communications technology in a portrait. "The process," he said, "moved me very much and I had the idea to extend it to other families."
"During the shooting," he continued, "most of [the families] were having fun interacting with each other through Skype. They were a bit puzzled how the image was going to be done. But once they start seeing the resulting image, most of them start to see the deep impact of such a session. There's a very deep longing in their sentiments. You can sense that they miss each other very much, and yet it's something we have to accept in the current fast-paced society."
Clang noticed an interesting response particularly among some of the older members of a family. While they were happy and embraced the chance to connect with their family so far away, "there's a little tinge of sadness to have experienced [this technology] at their late stage of life."
Upon reflection, Clang added, "To be able to witness all these technology progress and wondering what the future looks like, which they may not be able to participate brings a tinge of sadness to me. I think maybe I'm the one sensing the sadness."Are they here or not here? Are we together or apart? The photographs answer with the same ambiguity we feel.
Are they here or not here? Are we together or apart? The photographs answer with the same ambiguity we feel.
The complete series of 40 portraits will be on display in a solo exhibit at the National Museum of Singapore beginning in early 2013.

HERSHEY, Pa. – Jakub Culek scored the eventual game-winning goal, and the Binghamton Senators killed off 1:31 of a third-period two-man disadvantage to skate past the HERSHEY BEARS 5-3 on Friday night at GIANT Center.
The Senators once again got on the board first, this time with the first power play goal of the pre-season for either team. Following a shot from the right point that deflected in front of the HERSHEY net, Jean-Gabriel Pageau hurried the rebound past BEARS netminder Dany Sabourin from the left circle at 6:12.
The BEARS would earn two power plays in the period and would outshoot the visitors by an 11-2 margin, but could not solve Senators netminder Marc Cheverie.
The hosts were able to knot the score at the 5:17 mark of the second frame. While working their third power play of the contest, Tomas Kundratek snuck his way toward the bottom of the right circle, collected a perfect cross-ice pass from Boyd Kane and slammed the puck past Cheverie.
It took just eight seconds after the ensuing faceoff for Mike Hoffman to stuff a shot past Sabourin, giving the Senators a 2-1 lead.
The BEARS would knot the score again when Ryan Potulny raced to create an odd-man rush. He carried the puck deep into the right circle, waited for Cheverie to slide toward him, and slid a pass across the crease that was deposited by Jon DiSalvatore at 9:42.
The BEARS nearly took the lead in the final second of play, when Garrett Stafford's shot from the right half-boards was tipped through Cheverie's pads and into the net. But the time had expired in the period just before the puck crossed the goal line.
Mika Zibanejad scored his second goal of the preseason at 3:41 of the third, to push Binghamton ahead 3-2. Sabourin stopped the initial shot from Jared Cowan while standing, but Zibanejad found the puck and pushed it through Sabourin's pads.
Culek made it a 4-2 game at 5:33 when he deflected a Chris Wideman point shot past Sabourin's blocker.
The BEARS charged back just 28 seconds later when Mattias Sjogren one-timed a pass from Kane over the glove of backup netminder Scott Greenham.
The BEARS then had a golden opportunity to come back with Cole Schneider and Pageau whistled for penalties just 29 seconds apart, but the Senators penalty kill held strong. Sabourin would come off for the extra attacker late in the game, but the Senators held on for the win.
The BEARS and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will wrap up the pre-season with a home-and-home set beginning in Wilkes-Barre Township tomorrow, October 6 at 7:05 PM, and concluding in HERSHEY on Sunday, October 7 at 5:00 PM.
Individual tickets for Sunday's game are currently on sale at the GIANT Center box office, by calling (717) 508-BEAR, or online at TicketMaster.com.
The BEARS open their home schedule of the 2012-2013 regular season on Saturday, October 20 with a 7:00 PM faceoff against the Rochester Americans. The first 8,000 fans will receive a team schedule magnet, courtesy of PNC Bank. Tickets for this game and all HERSHEY BEARS home games are on sale now through the above outlets.

Revision as of 12:55, 23 September 2010
Understanding given names and surnames can help you trace your ancestors. This is particularly true once the origin of the name has been established.
Indigenous Manx (Isle of Man) names tend to be predominately Gaelic in origin, with some Norse and English input as well. Because of the low population of the country (currently round about 70,000), and a large influx of people during the 19th and 20th centuries, surnames from elsewhere are particularly common.
Manx surnames have several main sources, but are often cognate with Irish and Scottish ones, when from Manx Gaelic, or are imported from England. In the case of Gaelic surnames, the Mac (son of) prefix which is so common in neighbouring countries is elided to C- (e.g. Crennel), K- (e.g. Karran) or Q- (e.g. Qualtrough)
The nobility and wealthy land owners first began using surnames. Merchants and townspeople adopted the custom, as eventually did the rural population. This process took several centuries. In the case
Surnames developed from several sources and include the following types:
- Occupational: based on a person's trade, such as -
- Gawne (a smith, cognate with McGowan), Gill (a servant), Teare (a joiner or carpenter, cognate with McIntyre)
- Geographic: based on a person's residence (not always a Manx location)-
- Hampton, Maddrell (a location in Lancashire, England), Moffatt (Dumfriesshire, Scotland) Radcliffe, Stanley
- Patronymic, based on a person's father's name -
- Callister (son of Alastair, cognate with MacAllister), Crennel (son of Ranald), Faragher (son of Fearchar or Farquhar), Quayle (son of Paul - cognate with MacPhail), Qualtrough (son of Walter)
