Rochester, N.Y. – The Canisius College hockey team advanced to its first Atlantic Hockey Championship with a 5-3 win over top-seeded and local rival Niagara on Friday afternoon. The Griffs extended the nation's longest winning streak to seven games – a new program record – and improved to 18-18-5 overall. The 15th-ranked Purple Eagles drop to 23-9-5 with the loss.
"It was great team effort against a very good Niagara team, who is having a special season," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "I'm really proud of the effort from everybody and the support in the stands from Canisius fans was outstanding.
Sophomore Tyler Wiseman (Burlington, Ontario) led the Griffs with by matching a career-high with two tallies. Juniors Ben Danford (Stillwater, Minn.) and Duncan McKellar (Phoenix, Ariz.) and sophomore Cody Freeman (Toronto, Ontario) also added a goal for the Griffs.
Junior Tony Capobianco (Mississauga, Ontario) anchored the Canisius defense with 41 saves and in the process set the Atlantic Hockey Tournament record for saves in a single championship with 201.
The Purple Eagles grabbed the early advantage in a game, scoring just 3:26 into the contest. After receiving a pass from behind the net, Giancarlo Iuorio finished from close range for the 1-0 lead.
Canisius, however, answered right back to set up the back-and-forth affair. Junior Kyle Gibbons (Westlake, Ohio) found classmate Patrick Sullivan (Derby, N.Y.) open in front. The junior then made one extra pass to Freeman, who buried his 11th goal of the season to tie the game at one with 9:27 left in the first.
The Griffs then took their first advantage of the day when Danford netted his second goal of the season with just 39.3 seconds remaining in the opening stanza. A scrum in front of the net led to the puck squirting out to Danford, who pinched up from his spot at the point and fired the shot in for the 2-1 lead. Sullivan and Gibbons both registered assists on the go-ahead goal.
Niagara tied the contest at two early in the second frame. Hugo Turcotte stuffed a rebound in to knot the game 4:05 into the second frame.
Canisius reclaimed its lead just over four minutes later when Wiseman scored his first of the day. Freshman Stephen Miller (Boxborough, Mass.) sent a shot toward goal and Wiseman tipped it past the Niagara netminder for the 3-2 Griffs advantage. SophomoreMitch McCrank (Haileybury, Ontario) added an assist on the tally with 11:36 left in the second.
The Purple Eagles tied the game for one final time with 6:49 remaining in the second frame when Iuorio netted his second of day. The senior once again finished from close range off a pass from behind the net for the 3-3 score.
The Griffs took the lead for good when McKellar netted his third goal of the season, scoring on the power play. The junior defender snuck up from his spot at the point and Wiseman found him open for the back-door goal, giving Canisius the 4-3 advantage with 20.0 seconds remaining in the second period. Sophomore Stephen Farrell (Ottawa, Ontario) also added an assist on the extra-man tally.
Wiseman then stretched the Canisius lead to two soon after the intermission, scoring his sixth goal of the season 1:58 into the final frame. McCrank chipped the puck to Miller and the rookie found Wiseman streaking through the middle of the ice. Wiseman then skated in and finished blocker-side for a two-goal advantage with 18:02 remaining in the contest.
Capobianco then sealed the door for the Griffs, helping Canisius advance to its first Atlantic Hockey Championship and the team's seventh-straight win.
Niagara finished the game with a 44-29 advantage in shots. Canisius won the special teams battle by going 1-for-3 on the power play and killing all four Niagara extra-man chances.
Carsen Chubak – the 2012-13 Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year – took the loss in net for the Purple Eagles, stopping 24-of-29 shots.
The Griffs now await their opponent for the title game, which will be held on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in Rochester's Blue Cross Arena. Fourth-seeded Connecticut and sixth-seeded Mercyhurst squared off in the second semifinal.
Game Notes: The winning streak is longest in the program's Division I history and the longest in school history since taking eight straight from Oct. 30, 1992 to Nov. 21, 1992 … Capobianco topped the previous Atlantic Hockey record of 193 saves, set by Branden Komm last season … Wiseman netted two goals in a game for the third time in his career … Canisius has scored at least four goals in six of its last seven games after netting four goals in six of its first 34 games of the season … The Griffs improve to 5-22-2 all-time against nationally-ranked schools … The only other time Canisius advanced to a league title game in its Division I history was the 1999 MAAC Championship (a loss to Holy Cross).

Tongue Fu is one of London's liveliest and best attended spoken word nights. It is a riotous experiment in live literature, music, film and improvisation; frequently surprising, sometimes hilarious, often poignant and always unrehearsed. Guests have included Lemn Sissay, John Hegley, Kate Tempest, Scroobius Pip, Salena Godden, Inua Ellams, Ross Sutherland, Laura Dockrill and many more.
"It's poetry, but not as you know it…amazing" The Guardian
Chris Redmond started Tongue Fu in 2007 with bassist and composer Riaan Vosloo (Nostalgia 77), in a room above The Betsy Trotwood in London's Clerkenwell. They called together some poets, musicians and an audience, to find out what would happen if they cast their better judgement aside and put on a show with no rehearsal. Unsurprisingly it was a little shambolic, but amongst the chaos, they found the kernel of what's turned out to be a very good idea.
Tongue Fu is not available to book, please sign up to our newsletter for updates and offers on forthcoming and available shows.

Sunday, for the first time, WWE presented Over The Limit. If the show was any indication, hopefully it will be the last. An eight-match show saw only two matches truly deliver and, in a shock to no one, Batista quit in the main event. The show also was hampered by several stoppages for blood and the anticipated Randy Orton/Edge match was cut short due to an apparent Orton arm injury, making for one of the worst WWE pay-per-view events in a long time.
Emanating from Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich., Over The Limit saw four title matches with one championship changing hands.
The main event saw John Cena defend his WWE Championship in an "I Quit Match" against challenger Batista. These two met at both WrestleMania 26 and Extreme Rules with Cena winning both matches.
The announcers claimed this is the final time these two will meet. As the bell rings, Batista offers Cena the chance to quit "before he puts his ass in a world of pain." Of course, Cena declines, and hits Batista with the microphone, sending him to the outside. Cena grabs a chair and wildly swings and Batista, who was up against the post, moves, and Cena sells the hands.
In the ring, Batista takes over, throwing Cena around. Then Cena gets going, hitting the side slam and the Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Cena grabs the ropes. Cena runs at Batista, but Batista grabs the referee, stopping Cena in his tracks and then spears Cena. Then he locks in his new submission maneuver. Cena refuses to quit. Then Cena just stands up out of the move and locks in the STF. Batista crawls for the ropes and gets them, but there's no rope breaks. Batista passes out and nobody knows what to do. Cena goes and gets a bottle of water and splashes Batista with it to revive him. Batista gets up and Cena charges, but Batista hits a spinebuster and the Batista Bomb.
Cena refuses to quit, so Batista goes to the outside and dismantles both announce tables. He pulls Cena to the outside. He puts Cena onto one of the tables but Cena reverses and goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Batista drops out, grabs Cena and drills him through the Spanish table with a power slam. Now Cena's bleeding. Striker points out, and Cole agrees, that Cena should be asked if he quits before he's attended to. He does and Cena refuses.
Batista shoos the doctor away, telling him to come back later. He then throws Cena over the dasher and into the crowd. They go into the lower bowl and then they go to the upper bowl and threatens to drop Cena over the railing to the lower bowl (about a 10-foot drop). Cena refuses to quit, so Batista hoists him up for the Batista Bomb to send him over, but Cena gets out and puts Batista on the railing and punches him down into a group of security men. Batista refuses to quit.
Batista starts making his way back to the ringside area with Cena in hot pursuit. They end up near the ramp. They start punching away and somewhere along the way, Batista picked up a chair. He starts working Cena over with it but Cena still refuses to quit. They are on the stage now and Batista gets in one of the cars that is on the stage. He starts it up and goes backward, but Cena could be seen moving out of the way in the shot. The announcers sell it like he was back there. Batista doesn't get out of the car right away and Cena comes around and grabs Batista out of the car and slams him into the car. He picks him up for the Attitude Adjustment and hits it on the hood of the car. Batista doesn't quit. Cena grabs the mic and said he was really hoping he would say that. He takes him to the roof of the car and puts him in position for the Attitude Adjustment and instead of taking the move, Batista quits. Despite the end of the match, Cena gives him the move anyway and Batista breaks through the stage to the floor.
Winner via verbal submission and STILL WWE Champion: John Cena
Match rating: 6.5/10
As the program is about to go off the air, Sheamus comes up from behind Cena on the stage and gives him the pump kick.
The next WWE pay-per-view is Fatal 4 Way on June 20.
After a video package, Michael Cole, Matt Striker and 2007 WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome us to Over The Limit. This show is presented in WWEHD (TV-PG,V).
Match #1 - Intercontinental Championship - (c) Drew McIntyre (Ayr, Scotland) vs. Kofi Kingston (Ghana, West Africa)
Hot start for the angry Kingston, who barrels over the top onto McIntyre. Back in the ring, Kingston is still on fire, so McIntyre rolls out and Kingston follows, but that's where McIntyre takes advantage of the over-aggressive Kingston.
But Kingston makes a comeback of his own. He goes for Trouble in Paradise but McIntyre ducks. McIntyre goes for the double-arm DDT but Kofi counters it into the SOS and pins McIntyre.
Winner via pinfall and NEW Intercontinental Champion: Kofi Kingston
Match rating: 6/10
McIntyre pitches a fit after the match. He calls out Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long. He says this pay-per-view is going to stop until Long comes out and reverses the decision and declares him the champion. Instead, he gets a very, very angry Matt Hardy. McIntyre goes after him but Hardy slips him and hits the Twist of Fate, trash talks him and leaves. McIntyre is not happy.
We go backstage with CM Punk who is asking the mirror on the wall who is the purest of them all. Luke Gallows and Serena, of course, tell him he is. He says tonight, they give birth to Straight Edge Mysterio.
They then show a shot of Downtown Detroit and it is dark. I look out my window mere minutes from the site of the shot and the sun is still shining brightly.
Match #2 - R-Truth (Charlotte, N.C.) vs. Ted DiBiase (West Palm Beach, Fla.)
Chinlock by DiBiase. Truth stands and just gets back suplexed. DiBiase goes to the second rope for a double axe-handle, but Truth punches him in the stomach and then whips him into the corner. Truth hoists DiBiase to the top turnbuckle and goes for a superplex but DiBiase knocks him down. He goes to stand up and does, but Truth hits the ropes and crotches him. Now Truth goes to work. A hip-toss and a flatliner get him a two count. Double-leg takedown for Truth and he goes for a submission but DiBiase gets the ropes. Then Truth hits a combination suplex-Stunner for two. He gets back up and drills DiBiase with the Lie Detector and that's it.
Winner via pinfall: R-Truth
Match Rating: 5/10
Theodore Long is backstage on the phone when McIntyre comes barging in demanding the result be changed and that Matt Hardy be fired. Long declines both points and starts tearing up Long's office. Then he nearly tears up Long's picture of Martin Luther King Jr., despite Long telling him that picture means a lot to him. McIntyre stops, calling King a revolutionary leader, unlike Long who is spineless and gutless. McIntyre says he is more like King than Long will ever be.
Match #3 - CM Punk (Chicago, Ill.) vs. Rey Mysterio (San Diego, Calif.)
The Straight Edge Society has been banned from ringside in this match.
Punk tries a pin inside and gets two. Punk locks in a reverse triangle choke but Mysterio gets out and tries a quick cradle for two but Punk immediately puts him back down. Punk then goes to work on Mysterio's neck. Punk locks in a Muay Thai clinch and lands some knees and sends Mysterio into the corner but Mysterio kicks him and hits a sunset flip power bomb for two. They're both down and they slug it out until Mysterio hits the ropes and hits a springboard crossbody for two.
Mysterio kicks Punk in the head and charges but Punk lifts him over his head and face-first into the buckle. Punk hits a backbreaker for two. Punk is starting to get frustrated but then gets a diabolical look on his face. He lifts Mysterio for GTS but Mysterio fights out of the move but Punk power bombs him into the turnbuckle instead. Punk to the second rope and he hits a bulldog for two.
Now Punk's going to work with kicks, including a high kick for two. Mysterio springboards himself right into GTS position but elbows out and sends Punk into the ropes, hitting the 619. He goes for the splash, but Punk moves. Then, in the lull right after, Mysterio surprises Punk with a crucifix cradle and wins it.
Winner via pinfall: Rey Mysterio
Match Rating: 8.5/10
After the match, the Mystery Man comes in and attacks Mysterio. Then Punk calls for Gallows and Serena and they come out. Gallows has handcuffs. They are about to cuff Rey until Kane makes the save, clearing house and hitting the choke slam on Punk. Then Mysterio handcuffs Punk to the rope as Kane chases off the SES. Mysterio hits the 619 and locks in Punk's other arm. Mysterio grabs the clippers and starts shaving Punk's head. Punk is still bleeding but they have to show it. Mysterio shaves off much of Punk's hair as some fans chant "Shave his chest!" Mysterio walks off with clumps of Punk's hair in his hands. Serena covers Punk's head with a towel but Mysterio runs her off and makes Punk look at himself in the mirror. He freaks out.
Big Show is backstage warming up when he's approached by Chris Jericho. Jericho says he can tell Show's intimidated, but he's not here for a confrontation. He wants to thank Show for bringing he and Miz together and they are going to become the champions and Show will have nothing. Show punks them both out verbally.
The challengers cut off David Hart Smith and go to work on him. Miz locks in a chinlock but Smith gives him an electric chair. He slowly crawls to reach Tyson Kidd and gets him as Miz gets Jericho. Kidd is on fire, drilling Jericho with a variety of kicks. He rolls up Jericho for two. He goes for a rana but Jericho locks him in the Walls of Jericho. Kidd gets to the ropes, though. He goes to the apron and kicks Jericho. He goes to springboard back in but comes right back in to the Codebreaker. Both men are down. Jericho finally covers but Kidd kicks out at 2 7/8. Jericho argues that it was three.
As Jericho trash talks him, Kidd kicks Jericho from the ground and gets to Smith. He dispatches of Miz and hits a belly-to-belly throw on Jericho. Smith with a scoop slam. Smith goes off the ropes but Miz trips him and Jericho small packages him for two. Then as the ref dispatches of Miz, Natalya trips Jericho, allowing Smith to hit the running powerslam but Jericho kicks out at two. Smith sends Jericho off the ropes and Miz tags himself in and hits a backbreaker that he immediately transitions into a neckbreaker for two.
Both men back to their feet and Smith sends Miz into Jericho, who was on the apron. Smith goes for a rollup, but Miz reverses it and grabs the tights but Smith kicks out at two. Miz takes control and hits his running corner clothesline, but Smith grabs him in a bearhug, tags Kidd, who comes in and hits the Hart Attack for the fall.
Winners via pinfall and STILL Unified WWE Tag Team Champions: The Hart Dynasty
Match Rating: 8/10
Match #5 - Edge (Toronto, Ontario) vs. Randy Orton (St. Louis, Mo.)
Orton fires up from there, hitting the scoop slam and the draping DDT.
He tries to get going on the RKO but just stops. Orton is really laboring and he might be hurt. He works his way over to Edge and Edge kicks him. Edge sends Orton over to the dasher and goes for the spear but misses as the referee counts to 10.
This match is a double countout
Match Rating: NR
The doctor is out to check on Orton, who has his right arm dangling and an unhappy look on his face. The announcers speculate that he could've broken his forearm punching the mat before the RKO.
Match #6 - World Heavyweight Championship - (c) Jack Swagger (Perry, Okla.) vs. The Big Show (Tampa, Fla.)
He sends Swagger off the ropes and locks in the choke slam, but Swagger escapes. Show goes to load up the knockout punch and Swaggers bails out. Show pulls Swagger back in the ring and sends him off the ropes and Swagger spears Show's upper leg to finally take him down. He hits two Vader Bombs and Show still muscles him off, through the ropes and to the floor.
This gets Show going. He shoulderblocks Swagger and then goes for the chokeslam. Swagger kicks Show in the knees but Show just pushes him over the top rope. Frustrated, Swagger grabs the title and comes back and clocks Show with it.
Winner via disqualification: The Big Show
Match Rating: 2.5/10
Swagger lays Show out one more time for good measure. Show, though, starts to get up. Swagger grabs a chair and hits him in the back. Show starts to get up again and Swagger lays into him again. Show gets up again and Swagger charges him and gets chokee slammed. Show has the chair and plasters Swagger in the back and then choke slams him on it. To finish it off, Show drills Swagger with the KO punch.
Match #7 - Divas Championship - (c) Eve Torres (Denver, Colo.) vs. Maryse (Montreal, Quebec)
Eve hits a standing moonsault for two and then a sunset flip for two. On the rebound, Maryse kicks her in the face. Then Eve starts brawling with her and grabs her and drills her face-first into the mat for two. Eve with a kick and she goes for a Rolling Thunder-type move but Maryse gets her knees up. She goes for the DDT but Eve counters and puts her legs around Maryse's head and just sits down, drilling Maryse's face into the canvas. That's it.
Winner via pinfall and STILL Divas Champion: Eve Torres
Match Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10
Final Thoughts: Wow. Not WWE's best pay-per-view effort, that's for sure. The company showed no flexibility tonight. After the Orton/Edge match went to the double countout, they came back with a very short World Championship match that ended in a disqualification, making two of the show's three big matches have disappointing finishes. That hurt the show in a big, big way. There also was just general weirdness on this show, probably not seen since New Year's Revolution 2005, where the show started with Eugene and Lita blowing out their knees in back-to-back matches. This featured many blood stoppages and outside of the CM Punk/Rey Mysterio and Tag Team Title matches, this show was underwhelming in every aspect. Individually, some of these matches were fine. As a group, on a pay-per-view you spend $45 on, it's no good. Do not buy the replay.

Contains Spoilers.
Now, this was a film I was really looking forward to. Having garnered a bit of a cult following it not only appears regularly on top zombie movie lists but has also received widespread recognition as an important title, influencing the look, feel and behaviour of the modern zombie. Released in 1974 sandwiched between seminal Night of the Living Dead and the game changer Dawn of the Dead Spanish director Jorge Grau took the suspense and atmosphere of Romero's work and added a bit of European scepticism and surrealism.
The premise is relatively simple. George (Ray Lovelock) is escaping the city for the weekend and stops at a garage for some petrol. At the pump his motorbike is reversed into by Edna (the alluring Cristina Galbó) and having to leave his bike there for repairs the duo reluctantly team up to first drop George off. On the way to Windermere Edna persuades George to first drop her off at her troubled rehabilitating sister in South Gate, happy for him to pick the car up later, but the two become lost and stop to ask for directions at a farm which is assisting the Department of Agriculture run a field test on a prototype alternative to the use of insecticide.
Emitting ultra-sonic radiation over a square mile, the boffins at the DOA have worked out a way to stimulate primitive life forms such as insects into a frenzy leading them to kill each other off. Of course there's a catch and unbeknown to the officials the radiation is also having an effect on young babies and the recently deceased. With George receiving directions we're introduced to the our first zombie of the day and it's here we start to see the heavy influence of Romero. The way in which local nuisance and homeless guy Guthrie (Fernando Hilbeck) stumbles after Edna is reminiscent of Bill Hinzman stumbling after Barbra in the iconic scene in Night of the Living Dead.
With Guthrie disappearing before George can corroborate Edna's story the two continue their journey to her sister Katie (Jeannine Mestre) only to find Gutherie has beat them there. Here we have our first zombie killing of the story and the first sign that there may be a few inconsistencies with the narrative. If the premise is that the recently deceased still retain some very basic brain function and that is stimulated by the ultra-sonic radiation causing them to reanimate with only basic motor functions and a hunger for sustenance (i.e. human flesh) how is it Gutherie seems not only to know precisely and conveniently where to be to drive the narrative and tension, but can seemingly magic himself around at will. One scene he's chasing Edna near the river where it's reported he drowned, and the next after they've driven at quite the pace to her sisters farm, he's not only managed to beat them there but he's had time for a bit of a chase and a murder. It's all a bit City of the Living Dead, and ambiguous and European, and on it's own I could just about go with it; but I struggled to find room for both this and the rational narrative in my ability to weave it all together as a coherent whole.
With George, Edna and Katie all implicated in the murder by the old school small minded chief inspector played brilliantly by Arthur Kennedy, Katie now totally gaga and sectioned and George and Edna falling deeper down the rabbit hole trying to get to the bottom of things themselves, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue has a change of pace and the problem I talk about above become all the more apparent.
Take the two big zombie scenes. The first, an uprising caused from the Department of Agriculture's expansion of the range of the radiation to the nearby morgue; Ok. The second, on checking the crypt to once and for all prove or disprove Gutherie being up and about they get locked in, where Gutherie now adopting a pseudo leadership role is able to resurrect dead comrades by smearing blood on their eye lids; it just doesn't all quite fit together and it's like there are two separate narratives running in parallel.
There's a lot to recommend in The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. The acting is first class and I personally loved the very 70s English interchanges between Edna and George which was full of complexity and subtlety. The style and direction is full of atmosphere and the beautiful and authentic portrayal of mayhem in the English countryside is a delight. The zombies make up and effects expand on what Romero had started and finally delivers the blood and gore Night of the Living Dead lacked. It's not up there with Fulci's gruesome macabre death scenes but you can see its influence. It's all not enough to save the film though and for all the positives I've spoken about, as a whole I found it hard to get that excited and found its faults far outweighed its positives.
Also on the one hand while I'd like to argue it's cult status as an influence on both Romero zombie film tradition and more-so also the more surrealist European Fulci film style, in truth I kind of feel it would have all probably happened regardless. It definitely helped cement zombie lore at an important time but I'd argue that it probably actually borrowed more, especially from Night of the Living Dead than it actually contributed.
I'd really love to be more passionate about The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue but as it is, the incoherent narrative and mishmash of ideas is too distracting. It's an important part of the zombie film story, I'll go with that, but I'm finding it hard to end the review with anything more than, it's merely ok, 6/10.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Rizzo launched a game-winning, two-run homer in the bottom of the 13th inning to send the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Miami Marlins in the opener of a three-game set Friday at Wrigley Field. After striking out the final two hitters in the 12th, Kevin Slowey (1-1) returned to the mound for the 13th, but served up a leadoff single to Junior Lake before Rizzo scorched a first-pitch curveball over the wall in right. "I had a pretty good idea that Rizzo was going to be aggressive and wasn't able to get the ball where I needed to get it and he put a good swing on it," Slowey said of giving up Rizzo's game-winning homer. Rizzo finished with four RBI, while Chris Coghlan collected two hits and an RBI for the Cubs, who have won a season-high four straight games. "They're playing with a lot of confidence right now," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said of his club. "I think they're continuing to pick each other up. I think they're starting to feel and know that they can do this." Carlos Villanueva (2-5) picked up the victory after striking out three over two flawless innings of relief work. Garrett Jones smacked three hits and scored once, while Reed Johnson stroked a two-run, pinch-hit single to tie the game in the ninth for the Marlins, who had a four-game win streak halted. Both starters performed well despite not factoring in the decision, as Chicago's Jason Hammel struck out eight over seven scoreless innings, while Miami's Nathan Eovaldi retired the first 14 hitters he faced in order. Nate Schierholtz ended Eovaldi's bid at a perfect game with a two-out single to center in the fifth and Coghlan followed with an RBI double to right to get the Cubs on the board. Chicago added a pair of key insurance runs in the eighth, as pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano ripped a one-out double before Emilio Bonifacio smacked an infield single off the glove of Eovaldi. After Lake's fielder's choice groundout left runners on the corners with two away, Rizzo ripped a double to left, clearing the bases for a 3-0 lead. Miami rallied against Chicago closer Hector Rondon in the ninth after Casey McGehee and Jones started the frame with back-to-back singles. Rondon responded by striking out Marcell Ozuna, but Adeiny Hechavarria got a fly ball to drop in shallow right field to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Jeff Bour followed with a bouncer to first baseman Rizzo, who flipped to Rondon covering the bag. Bour was originally ruled safe after Rondon's foot appeared to slip off the bag before he caught the toss, but the Cubs challenged the ruling and the call was overturned following video review. Johnson, hitting in place of reliever Bryan Morris, then ripped Rondon's next offering into right-center field to plate both runners and tie the game. Miami had a chance to end it in the 11th after Ozuna singled, moved to second on a bunt, and found third on a groundout, but Brian Schlitter induced a groundout from pinch-hitter Jeff Baker to keep the contest tied. Game Notes Schierholtz's single in the fifth was his 500th career hit ... Chicago has won seven of its last eight home games ... The Cubs improved to 2-6 in extra innings this season, while Miami dropped to 3-4 ... The Marlins went 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base ... Eovaldi allowed three runs on six hits with eight strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings ... Chicago came into the game 22-2 when leading entering the ninth inning this season.

Beckham has 11 tattoos in total, but this could change soon at a moments notice, as it seems he's set on covering his body with tattoos. He has his son's names, Brooklyn, Cruz, and Romeo on his back, a guardian angel in the shape of a cross, his wife's name and a replica of her wrapped around her name in Hindi. He also has the Roman numerals VII to commemorate the number 7 he wore for Manchester United on his right arm. Other more intricate tattoos adorn his arms.
Who does the tattoos for Beckham? That would be: Manchester tattoo artist Louis Malloy. Who is said to be the best in the UK and who, at one point, Beckham was said to have flown into Madrid to do a tattoo. On his return to AC Milan, just after the New Year, Beckham displayed a new Jesus tattoo on the side of his stomach.

Previously on Rizzoli & Isles, Dr. Maura Isles told Detective Jane Rizzoli "I love you" over a romantic dinner of grilled cheese and rancid wine. This week, we open with Maura coming out of Jane's closet. Can I just commend the writers here for their courageous stance on having these two speaking the love that dare not speak its name and coming out as lovers who love ladies? This is really historic. I'm reserving them a space on the police department float in this year's Boston Gay Pride Parade. Brava, this show. Brava.
Um, wait? No? She was just looking for a dress for Jane's high school reunion in the closet? She hasn't come out? Are you sure? Are you really, really sure? Because do you see what Jane's wearing? A casually open robe and exposed bra? In that way that's sexy, but not like she's trying too hard. That's what I always wear when my totally platonic best friend comes over in her slinkiest, form-fittingest, vavavoomiest dress to casually telegraph: You. Me. Bed. IMMEDIATELY. (p.s. Don't worry, more on Dat Dress later.)
Actually, the "What should I wear? How does this look?"- foreplay is one of my favorite forms of foreplay because while in concept the idea is to get dressed, in reality the goal is to get undressed. To wit, Jane tells Maura she wants to look, "Fun, but not slutty." Because she's saving the slutty look for some extra special personal fun time with Maura later. Duh.
While Maura handles Jane's athletic-looking underthings, Jane complains about going to her reunion. But really, it's that pretend complaining people do when they mean the opposite. She has no husband, no kids, no South End brownstone. And, indeed, all these things are true. But she has a Dr. Maura Isles. And, well, there is no more impressive arm candy than that on this planet.
Jane's beard Skypes in to say he can't make the reunion because blah blah blah secret mission blah. Never have I been so happy about covert military operations in my life. Support our troops, people – especially when they're overseas. Jane acts all fake sad about Casey, a.k.a. Lt. Col. Beard Force, canceling on her. But, really, it's finally her chance to go public with Maura. I know that coming out of the closet earlier was a false alarm, but this is their chance. This is their moment.
Maura agrees and says she'll be Jane's designated date driver for the night. So much coded language, ladies. Come on, it's 2011. No one cares except Michele Bachmann and her "husband." Maura says she wants to help Jane to stick it to her high school nemeses. No, not in that way. I swear you guys are so dirty today. Instead, she wants her successful detective lady friend to show all the mean girls from her past – particularly Debbie, Emily and Kate – that looking good and having the hottest LLBFF in the universe is the best revenge.
Jane accuses Maura of only wanting to go all "Jane Goodall" while observing the co-ed high school experience because she had to go to an all-girls' school. Of course Maura went to an all-girls' school, of course. And then Jane says she isn't going and if she isn't going Maura isn't going.

In Lewis, the Court Stops, Drops, and Rolls over Chicago
Here's my write-up from this morning's oral argument, also available at the ABA Journal. Meanwhile, three hours of sleep, a morning full of arguments, and an afternoon full of classes conspired against my vox populi column. I'll have it up by the end of the week. Enjoy!
Inside the Supreme Court this morning, one thing was clear: the City of Chicago got hosed.
A majority of the justices in today's oral argument in Lewis v. City of Chicago seemed ready to hold in favor of a class of black applicants to the Chicago Fire Department who seek the nullify a qualification test introduced in 1996 that disparately impacted their employment opportunities under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. After the test results came out, Chicago announced its intention to hire its firefighters from the applicants it deemed "well qualified," or those who scored over 89% on the exam. Problem was, whites comprised the vast majority of the "well qualified" applicants. The black firefighters the city deemed "qualified," or scoring between 65%-89% on the exam, filed their EEOC claim when Chicago made its second round of hirings solely from the "well qualified" group.
Because Chicago conceded in subsequent litigation that the test results did disparately impact the plaintiffs, the sole question before the Court today was whether the plaintiff class filed its complaint with the EEOC in a timely fashion. Chicago maintains that the sole discriminatory event took place when the city announced the test results, and that the firefighters failed to file their job discrimination claim within governing Title VII provision's 300 day limit. The firefighters, meanwhile, contend that the 300 day limit applied to each of Chicago's subsequent uses of the exam results.
In a surprising turn, three members of the five-justice conservative majorities in Ledbetter and Ricci—between the facts of which Lewis seems a lovechild–seemed to agree with the firefighters' statutory interpretation. Indeed, they spent much of their time this morning making Benna Ruth Solomon, council for the City of Chicago, drink from a firehose.
Justice Alito's questions suggested that he still felt the burn from the public's scorn over his authoring Ledbetter in 2007, his first term on the bench. In Ledbetter, which Congress overturned by passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the Court held that a Goodyear Tires Plant worker was time-barred from suing for sex discrimination under Title VII even though the statute of limitations had run before she could have possibly known that her company had been systematically paying her less than her male colleagues.
This time, however, Alito showed no sign of Ledbetter's impractical formalism. Instead, he rejected Solomon's contention that the black applicants knew they were rejected when the scores were announced, and therefore missed their shot at a remedy:
Someone getting a letter that you sent to people who were qualified didn't know that [they were rejected]. The only thing that I see that you sent to the people who fell into the qualified category was that it was unlikely, which I take it means less than 50 percent, that they would be called for further processing, but it was possible they would be called for further processing. You didn't tell them anything about — you didn't tell them that you were going to fill all of your available positions with people who were classified as well-qualified in that letter, did you?
While Alito showed that he learned his Ledbetter lesson, Chief Justice Roberts sought to limit Ricci's backdraft. Justice Ginsburg led the charge by asking why Chicago couldn't have just set the cutoff at 65% rather than 89%, effectively kicking down the door between the exam's discriminatory classifications. Then Chief Justice Roberts dumped cold water all over Solomon's hope that the Court would extend its colorblind Ricci approach to Lewis:
You've got to — I mean, you have just got to take your — get as good legal advice as you can, and determine is it — are we going to be in more trouble if we follow the test or more trouble if we — if we take it down?
People have to do that all the time. You know, well, if I do this, I'm going to be in trouble; if I do this, I'm going to — but I have got to decide what I should do.
Roberts implied that had Chicago only thrown out the exam, the city would be in Ricci territory, where white members of the "well qualified" group could have sued and prevailed for "reverse discrimination." Of course, Chicago would have lost in that case, too, but at least they'd get to keep the test despite its disparate impact, as New Haven did. Instead, Chicago continued to use the exam and, in doing so, lost the Chief Justice's sympathy.
And it was with that term, "use," that Justice Scalia's stopped, dropped, and rolled all over Chicago. Not one to drift into pragmatics as Alito and Roberts had, Scalia lets his textualism trump his antagonism to disparate impact laws:
How do you — the problem I have with all of this — it makes entire sense, except when you read subpart (k) [of Title VII's section 706], it says an unlawful employment practice based on disparate impact is established if a complaining party demonstrates that a respondent uses a particular employment practice that causes a disparate impact on the basis of race.
Solomon did all she could to tell the justices that if they only read the provision in the context of the entire statute, they'll see the case her way. But the justices didn't seem to be buying it. When John Payton, the firefighters' counsel and head of NAACP's Legal Defense Fund, took to the lectern for his rebuttal, he concluded, with the justices' silent assent, that the firefighters could challenge the discriminatory exam within 300 days of its every use by the City of Chicago.

Since my comic has hit the magical 20 page border, it is time I climb on the mound, turn my cap backwards and see if anyone wants to take a swing at my fastball.
The story is about a girl, who because of unexpected circumstances finds herself fighting monsters on a regular basis. In order to do that she transforms into a personification of a jewel. In other words, the typical transforming super hero setting with a female main character.
Simply put: lots of action, transformations, shiny armors, experimental effects and whatever I feel like drawing at the moment.
For me, this comic is something that I use to try new techniques and of course practice drawing. So everything you see is not necessarily polished.
However any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
If nothing else, I would know if someone besides myself reads it.

Depending how you look at it, my interview with RainBird was either non-existent featuring, at best, an informal chat; or it was a gruelling 5 year affair where I had to prove myself by working my way up the ranks of a totally different company. Either way it wasn't your standard technical interview.
I've written on the subject of interviews before, but that was for an established company hiring a developer. At a startup you're hiring a manager/secretary/handyman who can also code and do a million other things that need to be done, which is a very tall order. I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about doing that without knowing that person and seeing, first hand, what that person was capable of over a prolonged period of time.
This approach to hiring means you can dispense with the incredibly narrow (and often counterproductive) fallacy that you must hire someone with X years experience in technology Y1, because that's what you use. RainBird needs developers who can code in Node.js, AngularJS, plus a smattering of C++ and Prolog. If we're charitable I have 1 months worth of industry C++ experience… from over 15 years ago.
Despite that seeming handicap I like to think I have a good understanding of a number of programming languages, including Javascript, a good grasp of architecting systems, the ability to manage a team, a broad set of organisational skills and the ability to build furniture that means, regardless of the technology being used, the longer term benefit I bring to the company by far and away beats the incredibly short term drawback of me having to get up to speed with some new stuff.
1 And don't get me started on the whole "must be a self starter; must work well by themselves or as part of a team; must have excellent communication skills"; what does that even mean? You'd be unlikely to hire a lazy illiterate who didn't play well with others for something as simple as a job at McDonalds, let alone put them into a development role – please, for the love of God, stop putting this crap into job specs.

Produced by IndieVest Pictures, the film stars Steve Buscemi as John, a compulsive (and chronically bad) gambler who eventually finds the courage to leave Las Vegas for New Mexico. However, he is forced to return to the city of his ills by his boss (Peter Dinklage) to investigate an insurance claim, with a promotion to adjuster level six as incentive.
Buscemi is accompanied on his journey by Virgil (Romany Malco), a seasoned insurance investigator with a perfect record of exposing fraud. On their journey, they cross paths with, among others, a wheelchair-bound stripper named Tasty D Lite, an armed nudist colony in the desert, and a carnival performer who lights himself on fire.
Through it all, John is driven by a new relationship with his cubicle neighbor, Jill (Sarah Silverman), a relentlessly optimistic receptionist with an addiction to smiley faces.
Buscemi has played his fair share of misfits living in society's shadows over the course of his career, but few have been as as easy to sympathize with as John, whose past keeps catching up with him throughout the film, despite his honest and earnest attempts to leave it behind.
First-time director Rhodes has crafted a darkly comic film with several memorable scenes - notably John's interview/interrogation with carnival act Flamelord, who is trapped in a malfunctioning combustible suit and craves nothing more than a cigarette. The film's relatively small cast is populated with a lot of big, unforgettable characters, which could have felt forced if not for the empathetic script of Rhodes, who also wrote the film. The end result is an enjoyable ride from start to finish, or rather from Albuquerque to Las Vegas.

Bank Name: The First National Bank of Niles
State: MI – Michigan
Charter Number: 1761
Lifetime: Operated 1871 to 1901 | Total Issue – $461,290
Series: $1 – Original Series National Banknote
Sheets Printed: 4,000
Value: Call, Text, or Email For A Quote | email@example.com | 864-430-4020
Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These typically aren't prohibitively scarce. However, they usually do represent the earliest bank notes that are available from most institutions. A very generic note could be worth as little as $400. Notes from rare banks could be worth several thousand dollars. The best of the best could sell for more than $10,000. Contact us for details. Don't forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: The market for Michigan nationals is a little bit soft right now. I wouldn't call it bad, but it can take a long time to find the right buyer. Banks in suburban Detroit towns are popular. You should also keep an eye out for notes from Upper Peninsula towns. Despite having a small population, lots of people have found memories of vacationing in that area and collect the notes. Today Detroit has a bad reputation. However, at one point in time it was a very wealthy old money type town. Lots of early notes are available from Detroit. Otherwise, anything printed before 1900 from Michigan is likely scarce. Rare notes tend to be found in circulated condition. Choice examples are much more difficult to locate.
We Are Buyers!!!

Bluestem's Chawanmushi with Hon Shimeji, Scallion, and Dashi
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Bluestem: The Cookbook to give away this week.
We weren't exactly expecting to find an ethereal recipe for Japanese egg custard in a book from a Kansas City restaurant but that's what happened when we tested out this Chawanmushi with Hon Shimeji, Scallion, and Dashi from Bluestem by chefs Colby Garrelts and Megan Garrelts.
Regardless of provenance, this recipe produced one of the best chawanmushis we've had in or out of a Japanese restaurant. The custard itself is meltingly soft, reminiscent of a silken tofu but deeply flavored with dashi. Topped with mushrooms (hon shimeji are called for in the recipe but shiitakes work quite nicely) and finished with a few spoonfuls of concentrated dashi flavored with soy, mirin, and rice wine vinegar, it's a bowl that you never want to get to the bottom of.
Why you should make this: This is the egg custard that puts all others to shame, seriously, it's that good.
Next time we might think about: Honestly, we wouldn't change a thing but we're planning on working chawanmushi into our rotation much more frequently.

- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:2 hours
- Dashi
- 2 ounces kombu
- 8 cups water
- 35 grams bonito flakes (usually sold in 5-gram packs)
- Chawanmushi Broth
- 2 1/2 cups Dashi
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mirin
- Mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 4 ounces hon shimeji mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- Chawanmushi Base
- 2 1/2 cups Dashi
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1/2 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 3 large eggs
- Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Make the dashi: Rinse the kombu under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the kombu and water to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat. Remove the kombu and add the bonito flakes. Set aside to steep. The bonito will become pulpy and slowly sink. When all of the bonito has settled below the water line, strain the dashi broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the bonito.
Make the chawanmushi broth: Combine the dashi with the soy sauce, vinegar, and mirin in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a low simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat and keep the broth warm.
Sauté the mushrooms: Heat the sesame oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, water, and mirin and sauté lightly for about 30 seconds to slightly soften the mushrooms. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.
Make the chawanmushi base: Preheat the oven to 275°F. In a blender, mix the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, and eggs on low speed. Strain the base through a fine-mesh sieve. Divide the chawanmushi base evenly among 4 small bowls. Cover the bowls tightly with plastic wrap.
Place the bowls in a casserole dish with 1 inch of water. Put the casserole dish with the bowls of chawanmushi in the oven and bake the bowls for about 40 minutes, until the chawanmushi is just set but still a little jiggly in the middle. Let the bowls cool slightly and carefully unwrap them, being careful of the escaping steam. To serve: Pour ⅛ cup of the chawanmushi broth over each custard. Top with some sautéed mushrooms and sliced scallions as a garnish. Serve immediately.

Illinois prison officials begin reviewing inmate records to prepare for new early release plan
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Illinois prisons are preparing to introduce a more restrictive early-release program to replace one that was halted three years ago amid public outcry over inmates serving just fractions of their sentences.
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn shut down the former program after The Associated Press reported that 1,745 inmates — some convicted of violent crimes — had been released within weeks or even days of their arrival at the penitentiary.
The end of the program caused the prison population to swell by more than 4,000 inmates, and there are now more than 49,000 people in prisons designed to hold 33,000. The new program is aimed at easing the problem, the way early-out programs were previously used for decades to manage the population.
But unlike in the old program, inmates must serve at least 60 days of their sentence before being released. The new law also allows the prison director to decide early release eligibility on a range of factors, including a past record of violence, something the department had said court rulings previously prohibited.
The Illinois Department of Corrections has started reviewing records of potentially eligible inmates.
"This will be an ongoing, careful and thoughtful process," Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said in a statement.
The previous program allowed an inmate to get up to six months' sentence credit for good behavior. The AP found that some inmates served as few as eight days because the Corrections Department secretly waived a minimum 60-day penitentiary stay to move inmates out faster.
The General Assembly has since put that two-month requirement into law.
Lawmakers approved the new early release program last spring, and Quinn signed it into law. But it wasn't until this week that a legislative committee approved rules for the program. The Corrections Department may proceed after the rules are officially filed with the secretary of state in the coming weeks.
"The department is committed to the responsible implementation of sentence credit as safety and security remains the top priority," Solano said.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the union representing most of the Corrections Department's 11,000 employees, agrees that if done properly, good-behavior incentives such as shaving time off sentences are sound management functions.
But AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said the union remains cautious.
He noted that even as the inmate population grows, Quinn is closing two prisons the governor says are too costly to operate. The high-security "supermax" prison in Tamms closed on Jan. 4, and officials are planning to soon close the Dwight women's facility and shift inmates among three existing prisons.
AFSCME has opposed Quinn on closures, as well as reducing employee headcount and penitentiary crowding.
"Given the Quinn administration's record of reckless closures, employee layoffs, inattention to overcrowding and its previous early release fiasco, we are extremely cautious about the prospect of a good-time program implemented by this administration," Lindall said.

Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains are ministering in Prescott, Ariz., where a wildfire killed 19 firefighters–members of an elite "Hotshot Crew" working to stop the spread of a massive blaze 100 miles northwest of Phoenix.
"Our hearts go out to the families of those firefighters as well as the fire station," said Jack Munday, international director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. "Firefighters are like brothers."
The firefighters were killed Sunday night while battling the Yarnell Hill fire in central Arizona. The loss of 19 crew members made Sunday the deadliest day for firefighters in the U.S. since the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
"We just lost 19 of some of the finest people you'll ever meet," Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo told reporters in Arizona. "Right now, we're in crisis."
Two crisis-trained chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team arrived in Prescott Monday evening to offer emotional and spiritual care to the community.
One of the chaplains is a retired police officer from Florida; the other is a longtime firefighter from Colorado who currently serves as a fire chaplain. They'll be joined by five more chaplains, all of whom have firefighting backgrounds.
Munday says the ability to send chaplains who have experience on the fire lines is an asset, because it could make it easier for first responders in Arizona to talk about what they're going through.
"The need for emotional and spiritual care is critical," Munday said. "They need to talk. They don't want to put a burden on their family. It's easier for them to talk to someone who's a peer."
The situation in Prescott is especially difficult because the firefighters who lost their peers on Sunday still have a raging wildfire to battle.
"They're still in the midst of all this chaos," said Jeff Naber, manager of chaplain development and ministry relations. "There are firefighters who are friends of the ones who were lost, who are probably on the front lines right now. So, we just need to be praying for God to be with them."
The Yarnell Hill fire was still blazing out of control Tuesday. At least 100 buildings have been destroyed, and several towns outside Prescott were evacuated.
In addition to Prescott, the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team currently has chaplains deployed to Colorado Springs, Colo., following a deadly wildfire that destroyed hundreds of homes last month. Crisis-trained chaplains are also serving in Moore, Okla., following this spring's devastating tornadoes.

Today, Smithsonian Magazine publishes the arrest record of Civil Rights figure Rosa Parks. Parks became a household name and pivotal figure in the Civil Rights movement when, on December 1, 1955, she refused to move from the "whites section" of the bus to the designated "colored section."
Her action sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and gave a female face to the Civil Rights movement in Alabama. Parks became an enduring social leader in the United States until her death in 2005.
In the Smithsonian Magazine Article: "Document Deep Dive; Rosa Parks' Arrest Records," the author delves into the documents, highlighting pertinent information, exploring the figures involved, and documenting the event in detail. For any American Historian or Civil Rights enthusiast, it is a fascinating look at Jim Crow Alabama.
