A graveyard on Queen Street that dates back to at least 1753 and that was restored throughout the past six years has been designated a city cemetery.
A graveyard on Queen Street that dates back to at least 1753 and that was restored throughout the past six years has been designated a city cemetery.
New Bern aldermen approved a resolution Tuesday designating the Bryan-Fordham Cemetery as city property that will now be cared for by the city.
Buzz Meade, a volunteer during the restoration of the cemetery, told aldermen sixth-grade students at the Epiphany School for Global Studies started restoring, researching and documenting the Bryan-Fordham Cemetery after the project was suggested by the Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corp.
It wasn�t long before Epiphany School�s Pepsi Kids Club took on the project, enlisting the help of the New Bern Preservation Foundation to raise money. The sixth-graders also held a skit about the people buried at the cemetery and raised $1,000, and a number of local organizations and volunteers join the project, Meade said.
�It was a wonderful experience,� he said.
Tom McGraw, another volunteer, said the 41-foot-by-41-foot graveyard was in bad disrepair before the students began the restoration. The brick walls surrounding it had fallen and some trees had grown through areas of the wall and others were leaning dangerously over the cemetery.
�The project primarily was to get the walls safe and make it respectable again as a burial ground,� McGraw said.
The students helped with the research, grant writing and restoration, and it all paid off in the education and experience the project provided, McGraw said.
�We congratulated the Pepsi Cola Club of Epiphany School for a job well done,� he said.
Alderman Sabrina Bengel said the efforts of the students and all the organizations involved were a �wonderful representation� of a public-private partnership.
Mayor Lee Bettis also praised the students.
�Congratulations,� he said. �You guys have done a great job.�
Alderman Bernard White said he could remember when he was a youth playing hide and seek at the cemetery and walking on the wall around it.
Chase Ballenger, a recent graduate of Epiphany and one of the students who participated in the project, presented the city with a large document of all the research gathered during the restoration of the cemetery.

Known for their creative initiatives, ABSOLUT Vodka launches ABSOLUT BLANK. The idea is for once to not only present results of creativity, but to look behind the scenes of the creative processes.
For the last three days, ABSOLUT Vodka hosted the ABSOLUT BLANK Atelier in Munich. GOMMA, Mirko Borsche, Apparat & Nackt, Bompas & Parr, as well as Styleclicker & Ayzit Bostan were invited for this new creative expedition. The creatives are asked to start with absolutely nothing, a blank canvas, and the show the entire process from finding the idea to creating the final artwork.
GOMMA and Borsche from Germany research what role coincidence plays in creativity. British artist duo Bombas and Parr look at the role of food in creativity. Berlin musicians Apparat and Nackt research the creativity crisis and how an exciting new song can result from it and blogger Styleclicker and designer Ayzit Bostan show how you can overcome the fear of a blank page. The ABSOLUT bottle has been a blank page for many artists over the years, starting with none other than Andy Warhol a long time ago. Taking a behind the scenes look at the creation process of creatives around the world and especially looking at realistic and real world challenges that everybody has to fight with, makes this one of the more exciting brand supported projects that we have seen in recent time.
As part of the ASBOLUT BLANK initiative, the brand also unveils exciting new bottle designs. In Munich, the Mario Wagner designed bottle, launching April 1st, was presented.

Fujitsu has added data encryption to its Stylistic Q550 slate PC, creating what the company believes is the first tablet computer suitable for secure use for government and public sector use.
The Q550, a 10.1 inch Intel Atom-based tablet based around Windows 7, became available in April of this year and was designed for organisations looking for remote policy enforcement of data security and authentication.
The company has now announced a partnership with UK outfit Becrypt that will see the latter's CESG Impact Level 3-accredited Disk Protect Baseline disk encryption pre-loaded on the touchscreen-friendly version of the Q550.
The software imposes the same user interface on Fujitsu's tablet that it would when used on a laptop; the user cannot gain access to the device until he or she has authenticated before the operating system boots.
The application is simple – data protection. Government and public sector departments have trudged off to the Information Commissioner's Office often enough in recent years thanks to lost USB keys and stolen laptops to know that adding tablets to this mix won't go down well. At most levels of government, encryption is now mandated for all devices.
"We recognise the dilemma faced by the public sector which is attracted to the benefits promised by tablets, including a more mobile and flexible workforce, but which is equally concerned about inadequate data security offered by the majority of tablets," said Fujitsu's UK technology group executive director, Michael Keegan.
The strength of the Q550 is that it extends a known environment, Windows 7, a big plus for some IT departments. The flaw could be that what IT departments want is no longer the biggest factor driving tablet uptake; there is ample evidence that users are more interested in iPad and Android tablets than the current crop of Windows 'slates' and those opinions increasingly count.
Government reveals the lifecycle of IT deals to vendors
Fujitsu said it was in discussion with 20 customers about the Q550, three quarters of which were in the public sector, so demand is clearly there.
"A large number of these are already trialling evaluation units in simulated mobile computing working environments, and their feedback on the integration capability of the Becrypt disk encryption software with STYLISTIC Q550 has been very positive," said Keegan.

Bill Boyle, my younger brother, editor and publisher of the San Juan Record, was recently awarded the Master Editor and Publisher Award by the Utah Press Association. Here is how he was introduced.
He's sensible: (Actual headlines from state-wide papers) "Bill to Help Charter Schools, Bill Boosting Health Care, Bill Would Ease Gun-toting Limits, Bill to Produce Charcoal from Landfills, Bill Allows Next of Kin to Sign Death Certificates, Bill Gives Concessions to Recreationists, Bill Would Expand Aid to Blind, Deaf Students".
He's serious: "Bill Would Streamline Access to Secret Info on Judges, Bill Thins Concurrent Enrollment Choices, Bill Would Scrutinize Jordan School District Spending, Bill to Require Business Licenses, Bill to Require Calorie Counts on Menus, Bill to Study Economic Effect of Immigrants, Bill Would Stop Unions from Paying Union Leaders."
He's constant: Bill to Simplify, Bill Goes to Governor, Bill as Guv Declares Latino Day, Bill Passes House, Moves to Senate, Bill Sails Through the Utah Senate.
He's human: Bill Stirs Confusion, Bill Loses Support of the Community, Bill Stymied Over Gun Rights, Bill Falls Short.
Bill Boyle describes himself as "editor, publisher, and janitor" of the San Juan Record in Monticello, titles he has unassumingly held for the past 14 years. But Bill's entire life has been one of interest, involvement, and adventure. In a cheerful sort of way, he is a first-class button pusher. You know, the kid who always wants to push the buttons in the elevator, turn on the lights, start the cars, ride the escalators, climb the mountains, see the world. But Bill also contributes; never a snollygoster, he is an unswerving supplier.
In high school, whatever was going on at Monticello High School, Bill was there. His name is on nearly every trophy in the high school trophy case from the 1970s.
College training at Snow College, Brigham Young University, and Stanford University provided plentiful avenues for button pushing and contributions to clubs, associations, and organizations.
Along the way have been years spent working in his beloved Holy Land, which in recent years includes tour guiding, backpacking in Europe and China, and exploring the "Wonders of San Juan."
Family life follows the same pattern, with wife Linda and five kids, David 16, Hannah 15, Katie 12, Millie 10 and Joseph 5. They take advantage of small town culture, with everyone regularly participating whereever and whenever; dancing, aerobics, volleyball, cheerleading, running, skiing, wrestling, drama, music, school and church.
The entire family has been involved in community plays that are occasional staples of Monticello life. Recently, oldest son David placed second in the 1A state wrestling championship. These are "opportunities to pursue excellence," as Bill calls them.
Bill's time in Monticello has been eventful. And he's still pushing buttons. In addition to publishing the San Juan Record, Bill has served eight years on the Governor's Office of Economic Development.
Governor Walker's Rural Affairs Committee benefitted from Bill's contributions, as did Governor Huntsman's Transition Team, the Utah Press Association Board, and Canyonlands Natural History Association, which included a stint as chairman.
He is currently serving his second four-year term on the San Juan School Board, his third year on the Utah High School Activities Association Board, and his second year on the National Federation of High Schools Publications Committee.
He wrote the cover story of the October 2008 issue of the national publication, High School Today, recounting the roads to leadership traveled by presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, and the impact of high school sports on those roads.
He has been Monticello Citizen of the Year and Utah Small Businessman of the Year.
His story of how he became "editor, publisher, and janitor" of the SJR actually began many years ago while in grade school, when he announced his intention of owning the paper. His dream at the San Juan Record has been, from the start, an innovative, energetic, and doggedly determined voyage.
Recently, in an effort to improve the paper and in response to rising costs, he initiated some dramatic changes, deciding to have his paper printed in the Salt Lake Valley, 300 miles away from Monticello, instead of Cortez, Colorado, 66 miles away.
Predictably, the change brought positive alterations, including saving money, allowing the paper to be printed with color every week, and facilitating a change to a standard-sized paper. And so far, the paper has arrived on time, every time, color and stories intact.
He also launched the SJRnews.com website, which is growing in popularity every week. In his spare time, he added a successful, opportune book store to the San Juan Record office building.
Through it all Bill has been steady, fair-minded, level-headed, and passionate about his life and his life's work. Never has adversity, sometimes serious, succeeded in deterring Bill from his goals, hopes, and aspirations.
Indeed, he has said that trials have helped him focus on the important things, to do "what you can do and go to the limits of that."
As the newspaper headline announces, "Bill is Approved!"

EggGate is now the latest salvo in what's fast becoming one of the NFL's most compelling rivalries, a battle both on field and off. Appropriately enough for its Southern locale, it's the rivalry that most resembles college football, where attitude and personality play key roles, and where everyone – fan and player alike – is a combatant.Because both teams are southern and because one of them is in New Orleans, this series has barely mattered to "real America" over the years. That doesn't mean it hasn't mattered, though.
"The New Orleans-Atlanta rivalry may not be looked at by the rest of the country as one of the great rivalries in sports, but I don't care," says Rob Brown, a sports talk host on WTKE in Destin, Fla. "As an FSU fan, I don't 'hate' Florida or Miami fans. I don't like them. But I don't hate them. I see the ATL Falcon logo, and it drives me to disgust."All of which is to say that while the Saints and Falcons haven't often been nationally competitive, they've always been pretty evenly matched with one another which makes for an intense rivalry even when "the people who matter" aren't paying attention. That is, evenly matched except for lately when the Saints have owned everything.
You can't blame the rest of the NFL for not according Atlanta-New Orleans the same respect as, say, Green Bay-Chicago or New England-Indy. There's almost no legacy of winning, little history of success against the rest of the league. New Orleans didn't win a playoff game for its first 34 years of existence. And it took Atlanta 44 freaking years to post back-to-back winning seasons.

Welcoming over 4 million visitors every year, Pymatuning Lake & State Park (aka. Pymatuning Reservoir) is one of the most popular state parks in Pennsylvania & Ohio.
Boasting more than 17,000 acres and over 17 miles in length, Pymatuning Lake is sure to appease the fisherman in your family as it's well stocked with perch, walleye, bluegill, crappie, small & largemouth bass.
The public beaches along the park are also the perfect place to unwind with the family. The crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming or a quick dip, and the sandy shorefront is ideal for kids to build sandcastles.
Be sure not to miss the Spillway Concession, where fish and duck alike assemble to feed on the loaves of bread friendly visitors provide every year. The local carp are so well fed, the ducks are known to walk on their backs as they crowd the embankments snap up a snack.
So take some time this year to visit us. Take a break and enjoy nature, the water, and the peace and serenity!

A predicate nominative or predicate noun completes a linking verb and renames the subject. It is a complement or completer because it completes the verb. Predicate nominatives complete only linking verbs. The linking verbs include the following: the helping verbs is, am, are, was, were, be, being, and been; the sense verbs look, taste, smell, feel, and sound; and verbs like become, seem, appear, grow, continue, stay, and turn.
The verb in a sentence having a predicate nominative can always be replaced by the word equals. Examples: Mr. Johanson is a teacher. Mr. Johanson equals a teacher. Mr. Johanson is a father. Mr. Johanson equals a father. Mr. Johanson is my neighbor. Mr. Johanson equals my neighbor.
Predicate nominatives can be compound. Example: Mr. Johanson is a teacher, father, and my neighbor.
Instructions: Find the subjects, verbs, and predicate nominatives in these sentences. Some may have compound subjects, verbs, or predicate nominatives. Some may not have a predicate nominative.
1. An honest man should have been the leader of the country.
2. Curt's favorite toy is his big truck.
3. Students' favorite food must be pizza.
4. The alarm must be ringing again and again.
5. My homes have been a school house, an old apartment, and a moved-in house.
--For answers scroll down.
1. man = subject, should have been = verb, leader = predicate nominative
2. toy = subject, is = verb, truck = predicate nominative
3. food = subject, must be = verb, pizza = predicate nominative
4. alarm = subject, must be ringing = verb
5. homes = subject, have been = verb, school house, apartment, house = predicate nominatives

I really don't want to be discouraging, but my honest opinion is that there isn't really much that you specifically can do about it. As I see it LT's PR situation is pretty much unsalvageable to pre-2015 levels, barring the game getting released. At this point most people seem to have moved on and there's quite a lot of skepticism associated with the game. As good as a community manager you are, there are simply things that are completely out of your control - realistically, no one could have prevented the 2015-2016 blackout, which was kind of the event that brought the community to it's current state.Talvieno wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:15 amIt's honestly killing me to see the dwindling forum activity, though. Two months and only a few LTFC entries? That would've been unthinkable a year ago. I'm doing my best, but I think it's getting to be more than I know how to fix. At this point, the best fix idea I had was trying to accelerate LT's development, as mentioned above, and when that failed... well, it's back to square one.

STOCKTON - As kids, Lavelle Hawkins and his friends would stand outside the Sierra Vista Community Center gymasium as the sun rose, waiting for it to open.
STOCKTON - As kids, Lavelle Hawkins and his friends would stand outside the Sierra Vista Community Center gymasium as the sun rose, waiting for it to open.
The center served as a home away from home; a safe place to have fun, play games and be a kid.
On Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans receiver took part in a grand-opening ceremony for a learning center adjacent to the gym where he spent countless hours of his youth. The center will bear his name and be used by residents of the Sierra Vista community, a housing project in south Stockton for low-income and hard-to-house families.
Hawkins donated about $5,000 toward the purchase of computers, a flat screen television and a gaming system. Stockton-based Utility Telephone Co. installed the equipment and set up the broadband Internet connection. Kids can use the computers to study and do their homework, and adults can use them to search the job market and compile r�sum�s, for instance.
Hawkins, 26, believes he has been blessed with the gifts to be an NFL player and said he simply is doing what he can to share with others.
"This is where I grew up," said Hawkins, an Edison graduate who has been in the league for five seasons out of the University of California, Berkeley. "I'm a firm believer that if I show love on a consistent basis, you can see significant change."
In December, Hawkins donated $20,000 worth of gift cards to Sierra Vista residents to spend during the Christmas holiday, and for the past several years, he and other volunteers have held summer football clinics at Edison free to area kids.
Tim Brown, who grew up in the Sierra Vista community before becoming a football standout at Franklin High and Temple University in Philadelphia, has been Hawkins' inspiration to perform good deeds for the community. Brown, who plays for the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League, attended the opening of the learning center. He, too, has donated money and time to the residents of Sierra Vista, especially the kids. Brown said he and Hawkins speak almost every day about ways they can give back to the community.
"From here, I think it can be non-stop to help these kids and parents, mostly single parents," said Brown, a return specialist and running back, who last month signed a three-year contract extension with the Lions. "We came here last month to work everything out and Lavelle said whatever they need let me know and we'll get it in here."
Jason Mills, chief executive officer of Utility Telephone, said he was glad his company could help.
"When you see what Lavelle has done with the football camps and when you spend five minutes with him, you understand what a phenomenal human being he is," Mills said. "Our contribution isn't near what Lavelle has provided."
Rudy Willey, chairman of the San Joaquin Housing Authority, said Hawkins, Brown and others who were raised in the Sierra Vista community or similar areas - like Edison graduate and former Oregon State receiver Ruben Jackson, Edison graduate and former New Orleans Saints running back Lynell Hamilton and Lincoln graduate and former San Diego Chargers running back Tyronne Gross, who also have donated time and money to their communities - can have a profound effect on young people growing up under similar circumstances.
"It means a lot," Willey said. "Just imagine if you're a child living here and you see Lavelle and his cousin (Tim Brown) at their football camps. That could change the trajectory of their lives forever."
Hawkins said he is spending a couple days with his family before he returns to Nashville, where the Titans are headquartered. Last season, Hawkins played in seven games and caught five passes for 62 yards. He has 71 career receptions for 771 yards and one touchdown. Hawkins signed a contract extension through 2015 prior to the 2012 season.
Brown has led the West Division of the CFL in all-purpose yards in each of his first two seasons in the league. He had 2,382 yards in kick returns last season for British Columbia, the ninth-most in league history.

Sometimes, something can be both good for you and fun.
Dr. Kirk Brumels of the Hope College athletic training staff had an intuitive sense and a fair bit of anecdotal evidence that popular activity-based video games like "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Wii Fit" Balance Board programs could play a positive role in helping athletes with balance rehabilitation, but he hadn't located any hard data to support the notion.
So, this fall he and a team of student researchers tackled the topic themselves. They conducted a study, published in the winter 2008 edition of "Clinical Kinesiology," that found that such games offered the best of both worlds: they were more effective than traditional rehabilitation tools and the athletes enjoyed them more.
Ironically - or, rather, perhaps because the athletes were enjoying using the activities--participants in the study also believed that the games were less difficult than the traditional tools even as they were more effective.
"They perceived it as easier, yet the data suggested that it was as effective as, if not more effective than, the other exercises," Brumels said.
The athletic training program at Hope has been using "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Wii Fit" with athletes who have had ankle sprains, knee injuries and other lower-extremity injuries, to help restore balance, coordination and agility. "We also use it a lot to help facilitate the transition from crutch use to ambulation," he said.
In "Dance Dance Revolution," the athletes stand on the game's one-square-meter pad and step in a direction indicated by the game's video screen. Through the "Wii Fit" system they stand on a platform and adjust their posture, leaning and shifting their weight through games such as "Ski Slalom," "Table Tilt" and "Balance Bubble."
Brumels was inspired to start using the games a few years ago, when his daughter showed him her new "Dance Dance Revolution" game. "I thought, 'Oh, my, this has a ton of applications in the athletic training world and rehabilitation," he said. The college's athletic training program began using the newly designed Wii system more recently.
He recognizes that the video game balance programs are much more interesting than the traditional balance exercise programs, which involve standing on a variety of stable and unstable surfaces, maybe interacting with a ball or other object, in the training room.
The athletes, he has found, have responded to the greater entertainment value offered by the video games accordingly. While through the traditional program, he said, they might typically participate for a week and then simply stop showing up, athletes using the games regularly stay for the entire multi-week regimen.
"We've had incredible compliance with the athletes on it," Brumels said. "As long as it's fun, and they're doing it and it's beneficial to them, that's what we want."
The four-week Hope study involved 25 athletes who were asked to rate their experience with the three systems between one and five according to difficulty, engagement and enjoyability. While the traditional methods earned a relatively low 2.17 for enjoyability and a 3.33 for engagement, "Dance Dance Revolution" earned 4.14 in both categories and "Wii Fit" earned 4.40 in each. The traditional methods rated 3.17 out of five for difficulty, while "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Wii Fit" weighed in as easier at 2.71 and 1.60.
Especially significant to Brumels was the finding that the athletes who had used "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Wii Fit" showed greater improvement in balance as measured by force plate testing following their month-long rehabilitation experience. It was an added bonus that the exercises were perceived as easier and more enjoyable by the participants.
Even as the participants in the study worked on their balance through the various rehabilitation methods, other students learned through the research process itself. Brumels conducted the study and co-authored the paper during the recent fall semester with four Hope senior athletic training or exercise science majors: Troy Blasius, Tyler Cortright, Daniel Oumedian and Brent Solberg. "They were intimately involved in the literature review, the study design, the implementation of it, and the data collection and analysis," he said.
While other studies had considered the clinical potential in games like "Dance Dance Revolution" and the "Wii Fit" system, Brumels said, their emphasis had been on benefits such as the cardiovascular workout they can provide. Based on his team's review of the literature, he said, the Hope study is the first to consider such games' potential in balance rehabilitation.
In addition to being featured in "Clinical Kinesiology" in the latter part of 2008, the Hope study is slated for additional presentation later this year. Brumels is scheduled to give talks about it during meetings of the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers' Association and the National Athletic Trainers' Association Annual Educational Symposiums in March and June respectively.

In 1897 Skagway was in the midst of the Gold Rush. Stampeders from all nationalities tumbled off steamships in the tiny port of Skagway bound for the Dawson Gold Fields. The rough tent town gave way to boardwalks, streets, framed houses, dance halls, shops and hotels.
To commemorate Skagway's past, the guest rooms are named for the ladies who worked here in "Paradise Alley" of the Red Light District. Turn-of-the-century ambiance helps you soak in the history, mystery and magic of the Klondike Gold Rush.
One hundred years later, Skagway retains the magic of the gold rush era. At the Historic Skagway Inn B&B, you will enjoy snowy white sheets, cozy rooms, period antiques, delicious meals and comfortable accommodations.
The Historic Skagway Inn is located downtown within the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Historic District. Easy walking distance to all services and attractions; notably the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, Days of '98 show, and Skagway Convention and Visitors Bureau

The lawyer for a community association trying to stop a medical office complex from being built in Catonsville called for a mistrial Monday in a Baltimore County hearing on the project, saying his clients should be allowed to inspect records sought by state prosecutors in a recent inquiry into the proposed development.
During the last day of testimony in the administrative hearing, attorney J. Carroll Holzer said the Kenwood Gardens Condominium Association had been denied "due process" in objecting to the Southwest Physicians Pavilion planned by Whalen Properties.
"I believe that the open process envisioned by the Baltimore County code and development regulations has been subverted and rendered unfair," Holzer told Administrative Law Judge John E. Beverungen, who did not rule on the motion Monday.
The Maryland prosecutor's office subpoenaed multiple county agencies this past summer for records on the project but has not said why it wanted the information. Monday was the fifth day of testimony in the administrative hearing since August. Holzer said that during previous testimony, county department heads were not allowed to discuss documents requested by the prosecutor's office, and those records could be relevant to his clients' case.
The subpoenas sought a broad range of information, including records of developer Steve Whalen's telephone and email communications with county officials, as well as information related to county zoning laws and any proposals to change rules to accommodate the project. County officials at first declined to release the subpoenas but later inadvertently included a copy of one in response to a public records request by The Baltimore Sun.
At the hearing Monday, Whalen's attorney, Deborah C. Dopkin, argued that Holzer had ample opportunity to review documents relevant to the case, such as planning and zoning files.
Beverungen, who is evaluating whether the project proposed for a 2.5-acre site next to the Baltimore Beltway meets county regulations, asked lawyers for both sides to submit closing arguments in writing by Jan. 2. He is expected to decide whether to approve the development plans in mid-January.
Holzer contends that the site is not compatible with the project. He argues that county officials considered a wider portion of land — one that includes a shopping center and retirement community — than they should have when deciding what level of density is appropriate for the site.
While the condo association has raised objections, including traffic and noise the project could create, the judge on Monday heard from longtime Catonsville community leader Maureen Sweeney Smith, who said the development would increase neighbors' property values and "make our community a better place to live."
"With new signage, lighting, sidewalks and landscaping, we can turn a beltway ramp into a pedestrian-friendly walkway," said Sweeney Smith, who lives at Kenwood Gardens.
Sweeney Smith said she has asked the condo association to work with Whalen so that the project turns out well for the community, "but their only goal is to completely defeat the project."
Also Monday, Dopkin told the judge that Whalen planned several revisions to the development plans to address certain community concerns, including making some signs smaller and ensuring that an illuminated sign on the west side of the building is not lit after 11 p.m.
County leaders and Whalen have said they do not know why state investigators wanted the information listed in the subpoenas, and the prosecutor's office has declined to comment.
In August, Beverungen denied Holzer's request to delay the administrative hearing because of the prosecutor's questions, saying the subpoenas weren't relevant to the hearing and pointing out that no criminal charges have been brought.

NEW LONDON, CT-Neither a downpour nor wind and cold temperatures could keep the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's outdoor track and field team from performing well at the Silfen Invitational at Connecticut College's Silfen Track Saturday.
The women's team scored 76 points and finished third in a 19-tesm field. Connecticut College was first with 80 points. The men were second of 19 teams with 78 points. Coast Guard was first with 141 points.
For the women, freshman Ezra Banks (Boston, MA/Newton South HS) finished first at 100 meters in 13.44 seconds, and was second in the long jump at 15 feet, 5 ½ inches. Sophomore Kim Urena (Marlborough, MA/ Marlborough HS) finished first at 400 meters in 60.86 seconds, while junior Brittany Cole (Dartmouth, MA/ Dartmouth HS) earned her first collegiate victory when she finished first in the shot put at 35 feet, one-quarter of an inch. She also was fifth in the hammer throw at 110-3.
In the javelin, junior Emily Migre (Whitman, MA/ Whitman-Hanson HS) was third at 96 feet, nine inches. Junior Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) was sixth at 1500 meters in 5:07.88, and senior Ulrike Schonemund (Langgoon, Germany) tied for third in the high jump at four feet, seven inches.
For the men, senior Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS) finished first at 1500 meters in 4:02.70. In the javelin, freshman Joe Texeira (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS) finished first at 163 feet, one-half inch, while freshman Brett Croteau (Rehoboth, MA/Dighton-Rehoboth HS) was fourth in the same event at 137-1.
Junior Robert Yarbough (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS) was second in both the shot put (43 feet, 7 1/4 inches) and the hammer throw (149 feet). Freshman Chris Cole (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS) was fourth in the shot put (41-10 ½) and freshman Conway King (Boston, MA/O'Bryant HS) was seventh at 40 feet, 10 3/4 inches. At 800 meters, sophomore Matt Hinthorne (Braintree, MA/Braintree HS) was third in 2:00.12 and sophomore Scott Connolly (Sharon, MA/Sharon HS) was fifth in 2:01.99. Senior Jeff Beal (Townsend, MA/North Middlesex HS) was third in the 110 high hurdles in 17.30 seconds, sophomore Kyle Costa (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS/Vermont) was sixth at 400 meters in 52.35 seconds, and the 4 x 100 meter relay team of graduate student Corey Sleep (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS), freshman Marcus Cusick (Westport, MA/Diman Regional HS), freshman James Bottary (Quincy, MA/Weymouth HS) and junior Hymlaire Lamisere (Newton. MA/Newton North HS/Iona) was third in 46.06 seconds.
"The weather was miserable, with a driving rain and 40 degrees, but, in spite of that, we had several good performances," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "In the hammer, Robert Yarbough had his best throw of the year just a couple of feet short of his personal best despite the fact that there was a couple inches of water in the circle, and it was slippery. I'm very happy for Brittany Cole, she is extremely dedicated and works hard, and it's gratifying to see her finish first in a meet with 10 schools. Kim Urena came back from being ill, and her performance in these conditions was quite impressive. We had some solid performances despite the weather."
The Corsairs will return to action when they travel to Fitchburg State for the Little East Conference and New England Alliance Championships next Saturday. UMASS DARTMOUTH TRACK AND FIELD

MOREHEAD CITY � The Big Rock Blue Marlin fishing tournament never gets old for weigh master George Lott, despite this being the 23rd consecutive year he has worked the East Coast�s most prestigious blue water tournament.
MOREHEAD CITY � The Big Rock Blue Marlin fishing tournament never gets old for weigh master George Lott, despite this being the 23rd consecutive year he has worked the East Coast�s most prestigious blue water tournament.
�In life with me, everything that I do has to be fun,� the 63-year-old Lott said. �I enjoyed it back with the late Dale Ward, and Randy Gregory and myself have been doing it and all the Governor�s Cup tournaments and it�s just a homecoming.
�Every tournament you see good friends and good people. I have a large time being here all those years because of the so many people I have met. I get to see them come back every year and they will see me somewhere like in Raleigh and say, �I saw you.� It�s fun.�
And Lott said he will continue having fun as a Big Rock weigh master until Father Time has a say � or when or if the job becomes less enjoyable. He doesn�t see the latter happening anytime soon.
�Dale passed away in 2002 and when he passed away � he left it for Randy and I to do it, and we will continue on as long as we are having fun,� Lott said. �We are going to do it and when it becomes where its work, then we will quit.
�As long as it�s fun, I�m going to do it; and as long as my health holds out, I�m going to do it. I�m going to be 64 in September and I feel like I�m 25.�
Lott�s job is to help haul in fish from boats onto the Morehead City scales, ensure vessels back into the docks safely and help organize the cluster of media representatives that flock to captains and anglers after they have brought in a big blue.
Lott�s hard work has been noticed by Big Rock staff.
�He doesn�t look like it, but George is a strong son of a gun and through the years he�s had to lift many of blue marlin,� Big Rock media director Bruce Paul said. �He also interacts with the children who come in and he shows them the fish and he explains what�s going on.
�He kind of runs the weigh station with Randy. They both make sure the fish are being weighed properly and that boats back in safely and everybody gets their pictures taken and he makes sure they (boaters) get all the documentation signed. He just knows everything to do.�
Lott has been one of the main faces of the Big Rock since he started working the tournament.
Born in California, Lott�s military family moved to North Carolina on orders from the Army in the �early 60�s.� Lott said his family wasn�t big into fishing, but then �I smelled that salt air� and he knew then he the sport was for him.
Lott then followed his father�s foot steps and joined the Army, serving for three years before getting out in 1974. That�s when he decided to call Morehead City his permanent home. He�s lived there ever since.
Lott then participated in several tournaments, including the Big Rock.
�I used to fish the king mackerels and the blue water stuff,� he said. �We fished in this about four times. We didn�t do well, but we spent money.�
Then one day Lott was approached by Ward about joining him to weigh fish at the Big Rock.
�Dale and I were friends and I was fishing the circuit and I quit and he said, �Well, if you�re not going to do that, what are you going to do?� And I said, �I don�t know.� He said, �Well, you�re going to help me.� And it went from there.�
And when he was not hauling in fish at the Big Rock or other tournaments, Lott worked in the construction industry before retiring full time in 2010. He said there was a correlation between working the Big Rock and helping assemble buildings.
�As a project manager for a general contractor, I dealt with the owner and the architects and it�s the same thing here,� Lott said. �The media part of it and working with people is the same thing.�
And the people enjoy seeing Lott, Big Rock tournament director Crystal Hesmer said.
�George is a real factor at the weigh station. Everybody loves George and I think most people come here to see George and not the blue marlin,� Hesmer said. �He makes everybody happy and having a great time at the weigh station.�
But Lott would prefer the attention go to the captains and anglers that bring in the fish.
�I have met so many people and so many boat captains and so many crew members, and it�s just good to see them bring in a fish,� Lott said. �I�m as happy for them as they are. It�s exciting.�
And it�s fun.
Just the way Lott likes it.
NOTES: On a day when only 20 boats fished, no qualifying blue marlin were brought to the weigh station Thursday, leaving Hatteras Fever II still atop the leaderboard with its 465.3-pound big blue it caught Wednesday.
There were nine hook-ups, including one by Sandra D. However, Big Rock media director Bruce Paul said that the Sandra D captain disqualified his crew�s fish because he thought it was undersized.
Big Rock rules state that marlin have to be at least 400 pounds or 110 inches in length. Federal guidelines require marlin to be at least 99 inches in length.
The tournament continues through Saturday.

Reigns v1.0 build 19
Reigns v1.0 build 19
Kali ini saya akan membagikan Reigns v1.0 build 19 terbaru untuk kalian. Jadi, mari simak apa saja fitur yang ada pada Reigns v1.0 build 19 kemudian download melalui link di bawah.
Reigns v1.0 build 19
Requirements: 3.0 and up
Overview: Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom.
Download Reigns v1.0 build 19 - Direct Link
Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family's dynasty at risk!
Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch. Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.
What's New
This corrects the data corruption bug, notably on Nexus 5x, 6p and 4. IMPORTANT: If you had that bug, you need to reinstall the game (updating won't be enough).
Note that as a consequence (on all devices), your current King won't be saved if you use the "home" and "menu" button + a swipe to quit the app. You will automatically start again at the previous King.
To quit the game and save your current progression, please use the "back" button (on the left).
Cloud save and direct access to achievements and leaderboards.

Go Daddy guy gets motorcycle cake
How did we miss this one? Arizona news outlets report that GoDaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons–- as famous for founding the popular domain registrar and web-hosting company and he is for his "GoDaddy girls" promotions–- tied the knot at Keswick Hall last Saturday, and that GoDaddy-sponsored race car driver Danica Patrick was on hand. But get this: Parsons commissioned a cake from the Food Network's Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman that was a replica of a Ducati motorcycle, complete with working ignition, lights, real wheels, and two cake helmets. You can see pics of the wedding and folks munching on the moto here.
5 comments
The Hook's first sentence says it all, "How did we miss this?" In response to The Hook I would say because this is not important news. It's something that would be found on TMZ or Perez Hilton and not in a paper that is always disrespecting other news publications or reporting on items that don't merit as news worthy.
I'm going to get a hot dog. Is that news worthy?
What kind of hot dog?
Its one of those new animated cakes which are becoming popular. Cakes with little working parts, they are becoming more like sculptures than cakes!
a working replica of a Ducati motorcycle.
I'm assuming that the cake didn't actually run, right? I mean, either there's a working engine under the cake, or batter-based engines have improved a lot in technology.
I'm sure that cake bike gets some sweet mileage

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Brush squash with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast cut side down on two baking sheets until tender and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring quinoa and 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then fluff with a fork. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, parsley, feta, pistachios, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes. Divide filling among squash.

It's been a big week for Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro.
Not only did he celebrate his 39th birthday alongside his twin brother Julian Castro on Monday, but he announced he and his fiance, Anna Flores, are expecting a baby girl in December.
The announcements come after Joaquin accompanied his brother to Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry last weekend.
Though the couple is not married, experts do not see this as a problem for Castro's political career.
"The people who would truly be bothered and make an issue are not in his district. They're not the people who voted for him," Kelton Morgan, a San Antonio Republican political consultant, told the San Antonio Express-News.
"If someone wanted to make political hay out if it, they could, but he's a grown man, marrying the mother of his child. It's hard to see any real legitimate criticism," Morgan said. "I wish them the best."

#Happy Father's Day! pic.twitter.com/mLRld3Zq1S
— Bobbi Kristina H.G. (@REALbkBrown) June 15, 2014
Bobby Brown marked Father's Day on Sunday by reuniting with his daughter Bobbi Kristina.
The New Edition star is believed to have been estranged from the 21 year old since the death of her mother, superstar singer Whitney Houston, in 2012, and even missed her wedding to Nick Gordon in January.
However, father and daughter were reunited this weekend to mark Father's Day, and Bobbi Kristina documented the meeting by posting a series of pictures on her Twitter.com page.
One of the shots shows Bobbi Kristina jumping into her dad's arms. She writes in a series of posts, "Out to dinner with daddy… #HappyHappyFathersDay! … #Happy Father's Day!"

NEW ORLEANS -- Welcome to Super Bowl XLVII. The Around The League crew is set up high above the Superdome FieldTurf, braving the elements under the most powerful air conditioning system in the free world.
There has been a lot of cool moments this week, but nothing tops the ability to go on the field before the game. Some early sights and sounds:
|San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has been all business this week ahead of Super Bowl XLVII. (Gregg Rosenthal/NFL.com)
1. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran on the field to a huge ovation, never once looking up to or even at the folks who were right next to him on the field. His game face was frightening.
2. Coach Jim Harbaugh similarly was serious but acknowledged the crowd and even threw out a high five on the way back to the 49ers' locker room. He took his time walking around his players while they stretched, having long conversations with guard Mike Iupati and defensive lineman Justin Smith.
3. Kaepernick spent a good 10 minutes firing passes as fast as he possibly could from about 10 yards away. His velocity is just outrageous. Randy Moss and Michael Crabtree both said this week they occasionally tell Kaepernick to throw the ball a little softer because it hurts their hands so much.
4. Harbaugh spent a while catching passes from all the quarterbacks. Good hands.
5. Olivia Munn, Harry Edwards and Tom Crean were among the luminaries on the sideline.
6. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco also ran a number of routes as a wide receiver. No, we don't think the Ravens are up to any trickery.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

The user infraction system is a tool used by the staff to ensure members interact according to the rules of CariGold Forum. If a rule is broken, the staff can place an infraction mark on the post and this mark will remain on a user's profile both for the duration of the infraction period and after the infraction period has expired.
How do I avoid getting an infraction?
The easiest way to ensure you are not breaking the rules is to be kind and considerate to all members. However, there are other issues the staff will be monitoring, such as posting original/copy written content, using proper grammar, etc. There are other rules that are not mentioned here and as a member of CertForums, you agreed to the Rules and Guidelines when you joined the forum. If you need reminding of the R & G please look here.
How will I know when I have broken a rule?
You will receive a private message from the staff member who gave the infraction. The PM will state which post was offensive, will include a link to that post, and a brief message from the staff member giving the reason for the infraction. Once an infraction has been given, you will see a small red or yellow tag on the bottom left hand corner of the offending post. A yellow tag means that only a warning was issued (has no lasting effects), and a red tag means that a full infraction was issued (a penalty was assigned).
How does the infraction system work?
When an infraction has been issued, depending on the type of infraction, points are given. When a member reaches 5 points, the member will be hit with an automatic ban. This ban will then be reviewed by either a Senior Moderator or an Admin. If the senior member of staff upholds the ban then it will stay. If, however, it is decided that a permanent ban is too severe then a lesser infraction may be issued. All infraction points will last for 1 month from the date of the infraction.
Infraction points are issued like so:
The other thing that you should all be aware of is if a member has 5 active infractions, i.e. they are still within the 1 month period; they will be subject to an immediate automatic ban.
Will the moderators still ban members permanently?
Yes and this always will be the case. However, please remember that banning members has always been a last resort and is never taken lightly. These rules are for the benifit of all and to keep spam off the forums.
What if I was wrongly accused of a rule infraction?
If you were given an infraction by accident, or you feel that it was undeserved, you can submit an appeal with any of the Administrators for the infraction to be reversed; such appeals should only be sent to one Admin. That Admin will then take the appeal request to the other staff for discussion. All situations are discussed by the entire staff. This dialogue among the staff will help eliminate infractions based primarily on personality conflicts and should help minimize biases in their application.
To sum up...
The infraction system is a tool that has been implemented to give users warnings if their posts are
The infraction system does not remove the rights or privileges of the administration to punish or ban without assigning an infraction, but it does give another layer of information for them to use when making such decisions. Overall, it will improve and update the system previously in place.
Hopefully, much of the above will never be a factor, but we wanted to help you understand what we do and why, because we are all part of this community together. Thanks for your attention.

The Private Lives of the Tudors: Uncovering the Secrets of Britain's Greatest Dynasty
Tracy Borman
According to historian Tracy Borman, the private lives of the Tudors weren't so private -- at least, in the modern sense of "privacy." In this thoroughly researched book, drawing on contemporary journals and correspondence as well as official documents, Borman traces the monarchs' personal lives from Henry VII to Elizabeth I. No royal personage passed a single moment unattended -- even when using the chamber pot. Though the dynasty has been portrayed in reams of nonfiction and fiction,

Drawing on narratives of enslaved people, plantation records, and the words of slave owners, politicians, and escaped slaves, Baptist compellingly details the system of enslavement as well as the economic and social benefits it supplied to the industrializing North -- in addition to the South's plantation economy.

Jacqueline Jones
Building on biographical sketches of six people of color to illustrate the devastating effects of the notion of "race," acclaimed historian Jacqueline Jones points out that race has no scientific basis and isn't a static concept. Despite the arbitrary and shifting definitions of race, however, people of color have consistently been denied social and economic rights that are automatically extended to white people. Jones' thought-provoking analysis eloquently demonstrates that, though race is a myth, it's a powerful one. She concludes by showing how the relative position of people of color in American society has declined even more since 2008.

Gospel of Freedom: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Struggle...
Jonathan Rieder
In the late 1950s, when the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. became prominent in efforts to end Jim Crow laws in the South, he was regarded by some as too young and inexperienced to lead such an ambitious movement. A document that he published in 1963 changed that perception. Responding to charges by white clergy in Birmingham, Alabama that he was a violent extremist, King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" laid out his Gospel-inspired reasoning for opposing segregation. In

First Class
, broadcast journalist Alison Stewart relates the over 140 years' history of America's first public high school for African Americans. Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C. was for many years an outstanding preparatory school whose famous graduates included author Jean Toomer, scholars Anna J. Cooper and Carter G.

Angry at Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries' exclusivity, a Los Angeles filmmaker decided to give away the brand's clothes to the homeless.
Greg Karber caught his charity rebranding mission on video, uploaded it to YouTube and asked others to join him in the marketing effort to undermine the company's uppity image.
Karber's not the only one enraged by the CEO. Hordes of social media users share the sentiment. And when the Internet's mad, it unleashes memes with fiery vengeance.
Right now, it hates Jeffries. Something fierce. Thus, you'll likely see the garishly nip-and-tucked 68-year-old's face superimposed near quotes he's made over the years about his exclusionary business practices.
"We want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that," he told Slate in 2006 in an article that painted him as some Willy Wonka eccentric lording it over a sartorial utopia built on a single-minded view of male sexuality as a (preferably white) tight-bodied polo-clad frat bro.
Jeffries' brand doesn't bother to make XL or XXL sizes for women, though XS and XXS (was that even a size before?) abound. And he's known for mostly hiring people who fit his ideal of beauty.
"A lot of people don't belong in our clothes, and they can't belong," he's quoted as saying in the same piece. "Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
Those comments have come back to bite him. Hard. Reddit and Tumblr rediscovered those and other bon mots and, well, you know how the Internet handles. It doesn't help that the guy's a dead ringer for Biff Tannen.
Easily meme-ified quotes like the one pictured above so infuriated Karber that he set out on his crusade. He scoured the racks at L.A. thrift shops for the country club-lumberjack threads A&F is known for. Then, he meandered around Skid Row to pass them out to the neighborhood's houseless residents, catching the expedition on video.
Karber's call for help in rebranding the company's rich-collegiate-kid image (which, really, hasn't been relevant since the early 2000s), elicited a pretty big response. The social media movement encourages folks to share their effort to redistribute old A&F clothes (and probably prompt self-examining questions about why they bought a $79 pair of shredded jeans in the first place) by posting an Instagram snapshot, G+ post or a tweet under the hashtag #fitchthehomeless.
People are now snapping pics of the homeless donning logo-adorned T-shirts with signs scrawled with messages like, "too fat for this shirt," or "too poor for this shirt."
Karber's certainly made a point, though it might be a tad condescending to street-dwellers. After all, they aren't props, they're people.

picked up or shipped from our location within 4-6
business days. i
To make fine wines from our own premium Sonoma County vineyards that would be the best California had to offer and that would rival the best the world has to offer. This has been Ferrari-Carano Winery goal since we founded Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery in 1981 and we have enjoyed every moment of watching our goal become a reality. The key to our success and our Ferrari-Carano wine style is the separate vinification and blending of small lots of wine. To achieve the best quality grapes from Ferrari-Carano Winery vineyards, we practice individualized wine growing and winemaking techniques for the fruit from each vine. In simple terms, you might say this all sounds like a true labour of love… It is! We are constantly surprised by the excellent results. Look for Ferrari-Carano Winery wines in your favorite restaurants and wine shops. Enjoy the deep flavors and consistent high quality of Ferrari-Carano wines.
Dry Creek Valley means Zinfandel! And our winery is in the middle of it, surrounded by the estate vineyards where we grow our Zinfandel grapes. Classic blackberry, plum and black cherry flavors, peppery spice aromas, all the classic elements of world-class Zin come together in this fabulous wine.
Picked at perfect ripeness, the grapes were fermented in new French oak barrels and stirred on the lees to integrate fruit and oak into a creamy silky texture. Peach, honey and pear flavors mingle with toasted almond and vanilla for additional dimension.
Ferrari-Carano Merlot gives you the rich, deep flavors of fine red Bordeaux grapes without the heavy tannins of young Cabernets. Our Alexander and Dry Creek Valley vineyards produce superior Merlot grapes for a soft, velvety wine with rich concentrated fruit and supple tannins. An outstanding red dinner wine.
When it came to crafting a crisp, refreshing Fumé Blanc for the 2002 vintage, Ferrari-Carano found that three appellations were better than one. Our 2002 Fumé Blanc reveals a marriage of complementary flavors from the Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys. The Russian River Valley fruit imparts crisp acidity, while the Alexander Valley grapes are ripe with honeysuckle and melon. Floral and herbal notes from the Dry Creek Valley round out this wine, making it sensational for summer quaffing. A wine this balanced is the result of extensive experimentation and thoughtful winemaking. Ferrari-Carano has been crafting Fumé Blanc since 1986. Winemaker George Bursick says the 2002 vintage is among the best examples of this variety in the winery's nearly 20-year history with Fumé Blanc.
Here is a truly unique dessert wine, made from black Muscat grapes grown in our Russian River vineyard. As the grapes ripen slowly in the cool, foggy climate, they reach their full flavor maturity much later than other varieties of grapes. Made only in years when weather conditions permit, this delicious wine is intensely aromatic and fresh and clean in its flavors. A surprise dessert wine to delight everyone's palate.
America's favorite white wine – and why not! Our stylish version of this classic is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from eight of our own vineyards to make a multi-dimensional wine with layers of rich tropical fruit flavors. Carefully aged in French oak barrels for added complexity.
A wine in an elegant, well-balanced style, not full of butter an oak like some Reserve Chardonnays. From our cool, windy vineyards in the Carneros region of Napa County come grapes with clean bright acidity and intense aroma. From Our Alexander Valley vineyards in Sonoma County come the rich, tropical notes of classic California Chardonnay. The two sources combine to yield a wine that is beautifully focused and balanced between fruit and oak, with elegance and finesse.
The grapes for this wine are grown in two of our winery-owned vineyards, chosen for the particular aroma and taste components we prize in this wine. Dry Creek Valley grapes provide intense ripe flavors while our cooler climate Storey Creek vineyard in the Russian River valley adds a bright acidity.
Our finest red wine, a master blend of all five classic Bordeaux red varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Offered here in a 3 Liter Bottle, wonderful for gift giving!
Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon are the classic grapes found in the Italian "super-Tuscan" red wine blend. They take on a new dimension when grown in Sonoma County's earthy burnt orange soils. SIENA combines bright raspberry, cherry flavors with smooth tannins and a rich finish for a red wine taste treat that matches so many foods.

Faceoff: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, SAP Center
TV/Radio: Prime / 830-AM
Update: The Ducks (45-17-7) are hurting going into their biggest game of the year, a battle with the San Jose Sharks for first place in the Pacific Division. Defenseman Cam Fowler will be sidelined for between three and five weeks after suffering a torn ligament in his left knee during Friday's victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Fowler was the Ducks' fourth-leading scorer with 36 points (six goals, 30 assists) in 67 games before his injury. Anaheim could also be without forward Nick Bonino when they face the Sharks. Bonino suffered a leg injury while blocking a shot late in the Ducks' loss Tuesday to the Washington Capitals. It's possible the Ducks could recall a player from their American Hockey League affiliate in Norfolk, Va., to replace Bonino. The Ducks are mired in a 2-for-48 slump on the power play over the last 14 games, and went 0 for 6 against the Capitals. It's a source of anger and frustration for a team that has aspirations of a long playoff run, starting next month. The Ducks had 45 shots on goal against the Capitals. The Sharks are 45-18-7 after recording 52 shots during a 3-2 loss Tuesday to the Florida Panthers.
