A compilation of scientifically proven methods to train memory, speed of thinking and to increase the plasticity of the brain.
The Cartesian “I think, therefore I exist” many centuries it was hotly debated quote. The scientists then agreed, then disagreed about the loyalty of these words. To think that such a pattern exists not only in direct but also in selling value, made a recent study. The development of the brain directly affect our classes, lifestyle, exercise. But in the hectic weekdays what about to carve out time for mind boost for yourself? Here are some effective science-based methods.
How to improve your brain
The national Institute of mental health for over thirty years explored how various activities stimulate cognitive function. It was found that people who carry out diverse tasks, create new solutions and approaches have a large number of social ties, coping very well with the cognitive tests. The results of the specialists whose activity is connected with the monotonous routine, is much lower.
Anyone can set itself a fundamentally new task. It doesn’t have to be complicated, the main thing unusual for him.
For example, you can do the Assembly of large jigsaw puzzles, embroidery or solution of physics problems of the school course.
So, in Hamburg was carried out an interesting experiment. A group of young people started to practice juggling, and a few days have all been found to increase the proportion of gray matter. But after a while after they threw a new hobby, everyone returned to their seats. Therefore, an important continuity: each time discover something new and to constantly stimulate the brain.
Until recently it was believed that brain cells do not regenerate. It is also thought that each area of the brain responsible for specific area tasks. Now the statement about the cells burst, and the lines of responsibility are blurred. The reason for this was the writings of French neurosurgeon Fields Brock. His research showed that the brain is very plastic and is able to create new neural pathways.
On the background of this statement was supplied by numerous experiments. For example, in California the monkeys were required to perform actions with one finger. Then the shots before and after class there was an increase in neural connections.
It was also found that if you have dyslexia (specific reading disorder) you can boost your brain and skills after a long training in sound recognition. Responsible for this ability on the part of the brain became more and more active.
What is brain health?
It is also important that the human brain is able to transfer skills from the “outside” area in the “working”. Such result is achieved by a people who after a stroke lost the health part of this body, but continuously trained him. This is the birth of neural connections neurogenesis.
About alertness of the people, who all his life engaged in scientific activity, needless to say. Therefore, the conclusion suggests itself: neurons, like muscles, need constant exercise.
There is a reason to kill two birds with one stone: to learn not only to increase neural connections, but also direct benefits for life. You can take a course “Development of a phenomenal memory.” Exercises for development of memory and useful as exercise, and gain the necessary skill. You can start easy to remember mobile numbers, large amounts of information and fast learning of foreign words.
Neuroscientists have proved that while playing a musical instrument the human brain “lights” portions of it are activated and are in continuous operation for a long time.
Interestingly, scientists from Kansas revealed: IQ professional musicians is not reduced even in old age.
Ways to strengthen your brain
It is no coincidence that parents often send their children to study at a music school. Students who know how to play the violin, show the best results in training than other their peers.
If the soul is and have time to spare, why not give his music? To take up classical guitar or start playing the ukulele in the network there are many tutorials for kids and adults to help you easily and quickly master musical instruments.
A physiologist from Harvard, Richard Joll found that even with a proper diet rare the consumption of fast carbs accelerates the memorization of complex information and stimulate the mind. However, there is a way to think better without harm for health. It is about the right of hunger strike.
The researcher Sandrine found that when reducing daily calorie intake by 30% there is an increase of neural connections.
Also, it contributes to increase intervals between meals. This experiment does not require additional time and money, but to approach change in your diet should be very carefully.
There is a curious method, tested by students of the Department of theoretical physics, which for two months were notes in a special way.
The method is useful not only because it causes the intellectual potential to be in continuous work: reading, memorizing, reproduction, structure. The fact that the nerve endings on the fingers affect mnemonic abilities. Working with a pencil or pen, people will inevitably train them.
As said Albert Camus, a philosopher moves forward, only if he does not hurry with conclusions, even if they seem obvious to him. Don’t be afraid to try all the techniques, even if you think that they don’t work for you.

text: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) is an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that attenuates maladaptive cardiac remodeling in ischemic heart failure. We examined the effects of TIMP-2 on human cardiac fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Human cardiac fibroblasts within a three-dimensional collagen matrix were assessed for phenotype conversion, ECM architecture and key molecular regulators of ECM remodeling after differential exposure to TIMP-2 and Ala+TIMP-2 (a modified TIMP-2 analogue devoid of MMP inhibitory activity). TIMP-2 induced opposite effects on human cardiac fibroblast activation and ECM remodeling depending on concentration. TIMP-2 activated fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts that remodeled ECM. At higher concentrations (>10 nM), TIMP-2 inhibited fibroblast activation and prevented ECM remodeling. As compared to profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, TIMP-2 activated fibroblasts and remodeled ECM without a net accumulation of matrix elements. TIMP-2 increased total protease activity as compared to TGF-beta1. Ala+TIMP-2 exposure revealed that the actions of TIMP-2 on cardiac fibroblast activation are independent of its effects on MMP inhibition. In the presence of GM6001, a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor, TIMP-2-mediated ECM contraction was completely abolished, indicating that TIMP-2-mediated fibroblast activation is MMP dependent. TIMP-2 functions in a contextual fashion such that the effect on cardiac fibroblasts depends on the tissue microenvironment. These observations highlight potential clinical challenges in using TIMP-2 as a therapeutic strategy to attenuate postinjury cardiac remodeling.

I want to share how to collect and display vintage linens! They create a simple yet charming backdrop for any space in your home.
Let’s talk about vintage linens, shall we?
Packed with charm, these old textiles are some of the most collectible and fabulous items that you can find at antique stores, thrift stores, and flea markets. Each piece of vintage linen is unique, making them extremely special.
Ranging from hand-embroidered table runners to curtains created out of stunning old fabric, these aged textiles help to add history and a lovely ‘old-soul’ feel to your home. My hope is that you will find inspiration here through how to collect and display vintage linens.
Posts on theantiquedjourney.com may contain affiliate links. Click HERE for my full disclosure.
Finding Vintage Linens
It is easier than you might think to identify vintage linens. The majority of these pieces contain handmade details that just don’t exist in modern textiles.
You will also notice that vintage textiles feature scalloped and lace edges with very few straight lines. Below are some specific characteristics to help you identify vintage linens:
- Embroidery-Intricate hand-embroidery is a feature on pillowcases, tablecloths, cloth napkins, and more. Turn the piece over and look for knots on the back made by hand.
- Natural Fabrics- Some vintage fabrics from the 1940’s and after are made from synthetics and synthetic blends. Yet, most vintage linens are made out of cotton, linen, and other natural fabrics.
- Monograms-Handkerchiefs, tea towels, pillow cases, sheets, and other linens will sometimes contain monogrammed initials. These stylized pieces can be highly collectible.
- Handmade Lace- Examine the edge of each piece that contains lace to determine whether or not it was added by hand. Lace making was a popular hobby years ago, so many women added handmade lace borders to their linens. Some pieces, like doilies, are made exclusively out of handmade lace.
Types of Vintage Linens
When out shopping for vintage linens, there are many different kinds you might encounter. Below are some of the textiles you may see.
Vintage Bed Linens
The bedroom is a wonderful area to display and use vintage linens. Using these in your bedroom creates a cozy atmosphere, putting you at ease for sleep. There are three main pieces of vintage textiles that you can incorporate into a modern day bedroom.
1) Pillowcases- Throughout the early 1900’s, embroidering pillowcases was a popular hobby, so you can find some really special pieces. Look for handmade lace detailing, intricate embroidery with flowers and other pretty patterns, and high quality cotton fabric.
2) Coverlets and Bedspreads- Choosing a vintage coverlet for your bed is a beautiful choice, especially one that is aimed at a specific era. It creates a space that is unique to only you.
3) Quilts- Antique and vintage quilts are so special. If you can find one in really good condition snatch it up because they are hard to find! Many of these quilts were stitched by hand, making the quality of them particularly remarkable.
Vintage Table Linens
Vintage linens are showstoppers on a table. These pieces were often well taken care of, since the first owners probably only used them for special occasions.
1) Tablecloths- These vintage pieces are found in all shapes and sizes to fit various tables. You will also come across table runners which may be a more economic option if you are on a budget. Either way, these precious linens contain unique touches including monograms, embroidery, and handmade lace.
2) Cloth Napkins- Vintage napkins are extra fun to search for, especially at thrift stores where you have a better chance of finding them in pairs. They are made of high quality cotton fabric and contain pretty embroidery.
3) Tea Towels- These delightful pieces have so much charm and come in many different styles and patterns. You can look for embroidered patterns, simple prints, or homespun linen towels.
Other Vintage Linens
Other varieties of linens include vintage handkerchiefs, doilies, and dresser scarves. The latter two were popular with women during the 1900’s and used to adorn upholstered furniture and the tops of wooden furniture.
Value of Vintage Linens
Old linens and textiles can range from under $5 to over $100. You can expect to pay $1.00 for vintage napkins at the thrift store whereas a handmade coverlet for a queen bed can cost $250 at an antique store.
Factors that dictate the value include condition, quality, size, age, and usefulness. They can be a super affordable option if you are looking to infuse more charm and character into your home. They are endlessly fun to look for!
Vintage Linens In Your Home
As with any collectible, there are many ways you can incorporate vintage linens into your home. You can use bed linens and table linens as intended, taking extra care to display them in a pretty way.
Here are some unique ideas to try:
- Repurpose an old tablecloth by turning it into pillowcases.
- Use a vintage napkin as pretty accent over an end table or bedside table.
- Add coziness to a wooden dresser by draping a vintage table runner over the top of it.
- Create a gallery wall by framing various sizes, shapes, and colors of vintage napkins and doilies.
- Reuse old linens by turning them into window treatments, like turning an old lace pillowcase into a cafe curtain, for example.
- An old quilt or coverlet can hang on a wall for a beautiful piece of wall art.
Vintage linens are able to create a cozy, cohesive home. You can use them in any room in your house and can fit any design style and color scheme.
I hope you have found encouragement here today on how to collect and display vintage linens. These linens urge you to step outside the box and beckon you into a by-gone era. Rich in history, these old textiles have had a long journey and now get to be a part of yours, in whichever way you choose to use them.

Mexican cuisine is considered one of the most diverse in the world, and traditionally passed down through the generations in an unwritten form. This cuisine relies more on intuitive cooking skills, so today’s class was more of a “watch and learn, then do” lesson.
Techniques for Mexican cooking are basically the same across the country of Mexico, but it’s the ingredients that differ by region. Contributing factors are Mexico’s vast size, diverse climates, geography, and different levels of influence by the Mayas, Aztecs and Spaniards
Typical herbs and spices used in Mexican cuisine are chili powder, oregano, cilantro, coriander, cumin, epazote, cinnamon, and cocoa.
The grain staples are corn and rice. Other popular items are pinto beans in Northern Mexico and black beans towards the south.
The one ingredient that seems to make its way into more Mexican recipes is chilies. They are grown in every state, there are over 150 varieties, and each one has its own distinct flavor. Continue reading →
Mediterranean cuisine is not the result of a specific culture or ethnic group. It is more the culinary collaboration of a diverse range of people that live in the Mediterranean Sea region.
The term Mediterranean means “in the middle of earth” or “between lands” as it is between the continents of Africa and Europe. Twenty one countries have a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. Quite a bit of diversity to explore in one cuisine!
Our class concentrated on the eastern side of the Mediterranean.
Chef Carol Cotner Thompson began this week’s culinary class by demystifying the term “Mezze” which means, “to eat with pleasure.” It is the pleasure of savoring little bites of food, accompanied by feelings of peace and serenity.
The Oxnard Companion of Food traces the roots of “Mezze” to Persia, where wine was the center of an emotional and esthetic experience that also included other forms of entertainment, such as food and music. No matter how you define it, mezze is a fabulous idea for enjoying food with friends and family.
Most European food begins on a subtle note, builds with each course, then crescendos to a finale. Not so with Mediterranean food! It starts with a bang.. like if you played the Hallelujah Chorus in reverse. Continue reading →
Looking for a meal that is inexpensive, simple and delicious? This week’s classroom technique of braising and stewing makes that possible as it uses inexpensive cuts of meat and cooks an entire meal in one pot.
Alas, in class I had to cut up a whole chicken again! After hitting the erase button on last week’s experience, Rona graciously walked me through the harrowing procedure again.
To see what I am stewing about click here for Poultry Part 1 )
Braising is a cooking technique in which the main ingredient is seared, or browned in fat, and then simmered in liquid on low heat in a covered pot.
What comes to mind when you hear the word poultry? Hopefully it’s not chicken McNuggets! Actually, the word poultry refers to any domesticated bird used for human consumption including chicken, duck, goose, ostrich, turkey, pheasant, mute swan and emu.
This week’s blog focuses on chicken because, according to the USDA, chickens are the number one species consumed by Americans. I’m not a contributor to that stat, but after sampling some great recipes from class, I may convert. To understand my sordid past with chickens on the farm, please read my other chicken blog.
This week we learned how to cook your chicken using dry heat methods such as broiling, grilling, roasting, baking, sautéing, pan-frying, and deep-frying.
Something to Crow About
No matter how you cook your chicken, it can be a tasty and nutritious meal. No wonder chicken is the world’s primary source of animal protein. Chicken is also a great source of niacin, protein, vitamin B6 and selenium. It is low in fat and cholesterol and has no carbs.
If I told you we are learning about plants, grasses and seeds in school this week, you might think I took a wrong turn and ended up at a gardening class… not so. We learned about nutritious foods that our ancestors ate. Today’s recipe is a contemporary twist on an old classic.
Legumes are plants with seedpods. The seeds are released by splitting open along two seams. Edible seeds in the legume family include beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts. Some seeds are eaten fresh, canned, frozen, dried or as flour.
Legumes are rich in protein, fiber, B vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting phytochemicals, low in sodium as well as gluten free. They are inexpensive, versatile, and have a long shelf life. What more could one want?
To prepare dried legumes
Remove stones or shriveled beans.
Put in pot with cold water — remove any that float to the top as they are too dry for culinary or nutritional value.
Drain and rinse well.
To soak or not to soak
The culinary jury is still out on this one, but my research says soak.
Softens skin for more rapid and even cooking
Activates enzymes that break down indigestible starches and sugars which are responsible for flatulence as they ferment in your gut producing gas.
Two methods of Soaking
Long Soak — Place in pot, add water to cover by 2 inches. Soak in refrigerator four hours or overnight.
Short Soak — Place in pot, add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring water to simmer. Remove pot from heat and cover. Let steep for one hour.
Proper cooking techniques would include simmering or steaming.
TIP: Don’t boil legumes, as high heat will make them tough, as will adding salt to your beans while cooking.
RECIPES WE MADE IN CLASS: BLACK BEANS & GREEN LENTIL SALAD
Grains are a staple in the diets of cultures around the world and have made an important contribution to daily nutrition since cultivation began around 10,000 B.C.
In their natural state growing in the fields, whole grains are the entire seed of a plant. This seed is made up of three key parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm.
Whole grains may reduce the risks associated with heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Whole grains may be eaten whole, cracked, split or ground. They can be milled into flour or used to make breads, cereals and other foods.
Fun Fact: One of the most popular whole grain foods is popcorn.
RECIPES WE MADE IN CLASS: QUINOA SALAD W/DRIED FRUITS & NUTS & TABOULI
Cereals and Meals
Cereals are grasses whose seeds are used as food grains. Cereal grains are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates, low in fat, and good sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Meals are whole grains that are ground until they have the consistency of sand.
Meals — grits, polenta, semolina, and cream of rice
Rice has fed more people over a longer period of time than any other crop dating back as far as 2500 B.C. Worldwide there are more than 40,000 varieties of rice.
Rice is classified mostly by the size of the grain.
Long-grain rice is long and slender. The grains stay separate and fluffy after cooking, so this is the best choice if you want to serve rice as a side dish, or as a bed for sauces.
Medium-grain rice is shorter and plumper, and works well in paella and risotto.
Short-grain rice is almost round with moist grains that stick together when cooked. It is very starchy and the best choice for rice pudding and sushi.
Most varieties are sold as either brown or white rice, depending upon how they are milled.
Brown rice retains the bran that surrounds the kernel, making it chewier, nuttier, and richer in nutrients. Brown rice takes about twice as long to cook as white rice.
White rice is more tender and delicate, but lacks the bran and germ, hence it’s less nutritious than brown rice.
Wild rice is not really rice at all. Wild rice is a remote relative of white rice, actually a long-grain, aquatic grass. It is richer in protein and other nutrients, and it has a more distinctive and nutty flavor.
Rona covers cooking rice in her blog, click here to check it out.
We also learned about pasta which I have included in a part two of this post. Click here to read about pasta and a recipe for Potato Gnoochi with Brown Butter Sauce that I made in class. Rona made Basil Pesto on Linguine and Bucatini all’Amatriciana.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow 1½ quart casserole dish.
Heat the oil in a large skillet, and sauté the almonds over medium heat until they are browned and fragrant, 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, carrot, cinnamon and salt. Cook 3 minutes.
Add the rice and cook, stirring, until translucent.
Stir in the stock, cherries, orange zest and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole and bake, uncovered until the liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
Cook time: 45 mins - Serves 6
“Legumes offer a host of health benefits that make them a highly sought after, non-animal source of protein.” – Terry Walters, Clean Food
I am not ready to give up my carnivore nature, but I am willing to participate in the international campaign called Meatless Mondays. Eating more legumes and grains will make the process easier. …and then she paused for thought
Hope you have enjoyed our adventure in the culinary classroom. Join us each week as we continue learning new culinary skills.

Roadways closing for crossing fixesApril 26, 2013
From local sources
The Indiana Department of Transportation will close roadways in Dale and Gentryville next week so repairs came be made to railroad crossings in those communities.
Both closures begin at 8 a.m. CDT Monday. INDOT says work on both crossings should be complete by 2 p.m. Friday.
INDOT will close State Road 62 in Dale from Old U.S. 231/Washington Street to State Road 162 at Troesch Junction so the railroad crossing at state roads 62 and 245 just east of Dale can be repaired.
The state’s official detour for through-traffic makes use of Old U.S. 231, U.S. 231 and State Road 162.
In Gentryville, Old U.S. 231 will close so repairs can be made to a railroad crossing just south of town.
The limits of that closure are from State Road 162 north of Gentryville to State Road 70 at Chrisney, and the state’s official detour for through-traffic makes use of state roads 70 and 162 and U.S. 231.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Wednesday morning was an emotional one for the victim of a horrific car crash and the seven blood donors who saved his life.
By all accounts Cody Hermeling should not have survived the wreck three years ago.
He needed 187 pints of blood to bring him back to life after he was hit head-on by a driver going 90 mph. He was left blind by the wreck and still undergoes long-term physical therapy. But his spirits remain high.
"It's really nice meeting these people," he told KOIN 6 News. "They're essentially my blood brothers and sisters now."
On Wednesday morning, Hermeling for the first time was able to meet his donors in a special ceremony.
Medics admit they didn't think he would survive. But he beat the odds, thanks in part to the blood donors who saved his life -- with 187 pints of blood.
"Being a part of saving someone's life is almost beyond words," said one donor at Wednesday's ceremony.
"If it wasn't for one and all," Hermeling said Wednesday, "I wouldn't be here."

Played a gig with Mark Merriman at Starbucks, Rock City Saturday night. We played Christmas carols plus our Beatles-Irish-eclectic mix. There was a big outdoor fireplace and nice folks listening in plus some of Mark’s friends and my good friend Betty who came along for company. Pleasant evening! The enchanted gardens were crowded but beautiful.
August 22, 2014- I played a set with the brilliant Mark Merriman at Angela’s- an honor. I will join him again in the future for some gigs with his band Celtic Plain.
I’ll be playing some flute tunes with this great guitarist soon- Mr. Mark Merriman! He’s performing at Angela’s in Athens August 22 at 7 pm. We will do a few Irish tunes, a couple of original numbers, and perhaps a jazz tune. I’m a lucky flutist!

Sometimes the oracles of the law speak out boldly—as they did in cases like New York Times v. Sullivan (press freedom) or Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage).
At other times, they sound more, well, oracular—less like Moses at Mt. Sinai and more like Mattel’s Magic 8 Ball, boldly proclaiming something like BETTER NOT TELL YOU NOW.
The nine members of the 8-Ball mumbled last week in a case called Fulton v. City of Philadelphia. Since November, lawyers, clergy, legislators, family-services specialists, and lay people have been looking to the court for guidance on an important question: what is the constitutional status of laws that protect LGBTQ people from discrimination?
Seventy percent of Americans support same-sex marriage—including, according to a recent Gallup Poll, a majority of Republicans. But a significant minority of religious Americans oppose it, and many of them believe that homosexuality itself is a sin that should be outlawed. Some of those believe that even to passively acknowledge the existence of same-sex marriage is a sin that should not be forced upon them by the law. Now that the court has recognized that LGBTQ people are free to choose their intimate relationships, and that same-sex marriages are valid throughout the country, the lingering question is whether “religious liberty” requires that religious objectors be exempted from gay-rights statutes.
Fulton is a challenge to a Philadelphia city regulation requiring its contractors not to discriminate on a number of bases, one of which is sexual orientation. A private agency named Catholic Social Service is one of a number of such agencies that have been funded by the city to place foster children in suitable temporary homes. CSS, however, has stated that it would refuse to begin the placement procedure if a same-sex couple, married or not, applied to be foster parents. Philadelphia cut off the placement funding to CSS (city money continued to flow for other services). CSS went to court, arguing that requiring it to evaluate same-sex couples violated its First Amendment right to “the free exercise” of religion. In the universe of free-exercise exemption claims, this one is pretty extreme; CSS believes it has a right not only to exclude same-sex couples, but to receive taxpayer funds to indulge their preferences.
Last week, the court managed to award CSS at least a temporary win; the city could not enforce its regulation, the majority held, because the non-discrimination regulation contained language allowing exemptions in a city official’s “sole discretion.”
The court majority said that language means that the law is not “neutral and generally applicable.” Those are magic words, because under a case called Employment Division v. Smith, if a law is “neutral and generally applicable,” the Free Exercise Clause would not require the state to exempt religious objectors. If it is not neutral, in religious-freedom cases, the court applies “strict scrutiny.” That’s a legal term meaning that a law must be “narrowly tailored to further a compelling state interest”—a hard bar to clear. The Civil Rights Act of 1964’s ban on “whites only” restaurants survived a religious-freedom challenge in 1968; since then, religious opposition to integration or miscegenation does not require exception to laws against racial discrimination. (In fact, the court termed that claim “patently frivolous.”)
What about gay-rights laws? By a 6-3 majority, the court in Fulton last week held that the Philadelphia statute 1) wasn’t neutral and 2) didn’t pass “strict scrutiny.”
At face value, this would seem like a blow to LGBTQ people and same-sex couples. The implication is that homophobia is in some way not as bad as racism, that combatting it is not a “compelling interest.” Religious objection can’t override legislative protection against race discrimination. But it can override gay-rights statutes.
A close read, however, shows a different Magic 8-Ball message: ASK AGAIN LATER.
It was clear from the moment the court granted review that the importance of protecting gays and lesbians was at stake in Fulton. During oral argument in November, Justice Elena Kagan broached that issue.
The Trump Administration had entered the case as amicus to argue that Catholic Social Services had a religious-freedom right to enter into city contracts while rejecting anti-discrimination rules—in fact, that the city was required to keep renewing its contract with CSS. Kagan was questioning Hashim Mooppan, the Trump-appointed counselor to the Solicitor General.
Earlier, Mooppan had told Justice Samuel Alito that Philadelphia could enforce, without a religious exemption, such a rule against excluding mixed-race couples. That, he said, was because of “the significant compelling interest in that context.”
“If I understood you correctly,” Kagan said, “you said that it is a compelling state interest to eradicate racial discrimination, but it is not a compelling state interest to eradicate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. And I was wondering where in this scale that you’re using would discrimination on the basis of gender come. Would that be a compelling state interest?”
It didn’t matter, Mooppan argued, because the policy at issue in this case had the “sole discretion” language.
Kagan dogged his steps. “Do you think there’s a compelling state interest to try to eradicate discrimination against gays and lesbians? Is that a compelling state interest?”
At this point, Mooppan, like Billy Flynn from Chicago, went into his dance. He said the government was “not denying the significance of that interest in the abstract.”
“Is it a compelling state interest, Mr. Mooppan?”
“In the abstract, perhaps,” Mooppan began.
“Is it perhaps, or is it yes or is it no?”
Mooppan kept razzle-dazzling until Chief Justice John Roberts told Kagan her time was up. But her question is the one that’s been asked ever since the day the same-sex marriage cases were decided.
Last week, the court bought Mooppan’s “exceptions” argument—and Kagan joined a six-Justice majority to do so (the vote was unanimous, but Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch wrote separately to advocate for much broader protection for religious bodies).
The majority, however, cheated; it misapplied the “strict scrutiny” test. Remember: if the law is “neutral and generally applicable,” it doesn’t need to pass the test. The majority said that the “sole discretion” language means the regulation isn’t neutral and must pass the test.
Then the majority said the regulation could not pass the test. Why, though? Does this mean that protecting same-sex couples isn’t a “compelling” interest—that it is in some way of lesser value than protecting racial minorities?
Magic 8 Ball says… REPLY HAZY.
Philadelphia’s interest in protecting same-sex couples, the majority noted, was “a weighty one.” But it wasn’t “compelling.” Why not? Not because of anything about LGBTQ people or about anti-discrimination law in general; the interest wasn’t “compelling” because the regulation contains “a system of exceptions.”
As a feat of judicial double-dealing, this trick is worthy of the immortal Scarne. It’s a bit like the old con where the grifter talks the mark into giving him two $10 bills for one $5. The law had to be subject to strict scrutiny because it contained exceptions. And it cannot pass strict scrutiny because… it contained exceptions. The majority got out of the opinion without giving any legal verdict on the importance of equality for LGBTQ people and same-sex couples (there’s no constitutional meaning to “weighty”). Philadelphia’s interest isn’t compelling because Philadelphia didn’t act as if it is.
It’s important to understand that Fulton did not ask whether the Constitution itself forbids discrimination against same-sex couples. The Fourteenth Amendment provides that all persons in the U.S. must receive “the equal protection of the laws,” but applying those abstract words has created a plethora of court decisions assessing “how bad” different forms of discrimination are. Age, the court has held, is a perfectly rational one; national origin is “suspect,” etc. Protections for LGBTQ civil rights are found, if at all, in state or local laws passed by elected officials. The question, then, is whether a city or state government can decide that same-sex couples should be protected against discrimination and refuse to contract with religious groups who defy that rule. Local and state civil-rights statutes protect against many forms of discrimination: race, sex, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, veteran status, and others. They embody a general decision by elected bodies that a state has a vital interest in the equal treatment of its citizens, whether judges approve or not. Is there something about sexual orientation that requires a religious exemption when other such laws do not?
To many church and religious-rights groups, the answer is clearly yes. “While CSS’s ideas about marriage are likely to be objectionable to same-sex couples,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in an impassioned separate opinion, “lumping those who hold traditional beliefs about marriage together with racial bigots is insulting to those who retain such beliefs.” These “traditional beliefs” must prevail, even of that means permitting religious people and bodies to exclude same-sex couples altogether, he wrote.
In fact, he argued, CSS has not only a religious right, but a free-speech right, to refuse to deal with same-sex couples. Discrimination against these couples, it turns out, is not discrimination at al—it is merely protected speech. “CSS’s policy has only one effect: It expresses the idea that same-sex couples should not be foster parents because only a man and a woman should marry. Many people today find this idea not only objectionable but hurtful.” He added a page later, “Suppressing speech—or religious practice—simply because it expresses an idea that some find hurtful is a zero-sum game.”
This one is the old Spanish Handkerchief trick: the grifter nabs the sack of money and leaves the mark holding an empty bag. The City of Philadelphia regulation was not aimed at speech or ideas. Catholics or any other religious groups are more than free to express their opposition to same-sex marriage. The Philadelphia regulation aimed at protecting living individuals and families from being excluded from city-funded services. Exclusion may or may not be permissible; but as sure as God made cheesesteaks, it isn’t speech. The Philadelphia regulation was a moderate one. It didn’t abolish all aid to CSS because of their stance on same-sex marriage, as it might have. It only prohibited city dollars, funded in part by LGBTQ citizens, from financing a discriminatory practice. That’s a restriction of speech only if you considered speech to be publicly financed social work.
In Alito’s formulation, Philadelphia becomes a heartless Nebuchadnezzar demanding that modern-day martyrs deny their faith. There’s only one side to this conflict, he says, and it is the religious side.
What if, for a moment, we just sat with this case to its full extent? On the one side are living individuals who have been taught, and believe, that homosexuality is a sin and that they must not countenance it, even passively. They will experience pain if required to override that belief. On the other side are living individuals whose marriages and families express their identities and their deepest values, secular and spiritual. They, too, will experience pain and loss if excluded from government programs and public accommodations.
How do we resolve that conflict? That’s the question Kagan was trying to get Mooppan to grapple with.
Eventually the choices are stark. Is rejection of LBGTQ people a part of the “traditional” palette of American belief, a religious right that must remain in place? Or is it homophobia, the moral equivalent of racism and misogyny, historically linked to a searing history of persecution against LGTBQ Americans? The subject is not “compelled speech” vs. saintly nuns; it is two sets of humans, with needs and emotions.
The overall issue is a hard one, but at the very least I believe no agency is entitled to take a couple’s tax monies and then refuse to serve them because it disapproves of their family structure. Other smart people disagree. There’s every indication that the issue has divided the Justices just as it has other Americans, and the court doesn’t want to decide it until it really has to.
This court is divided, and the Justices are feeling their way to an accommodation that will keep from shaking itself to pieces now that their court has become an overtly partisan body—if such an accommodation can be found.
The 8-Ball has already dodged the question once, in 2018, when it considered the case of a Christian baker who offered wedding cakes to the public but refused to obey a Colorado “public accommodation” statute requiring him to bake a cake for a same-sex couple. The Justices got out of that dilemma by noting that one member of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had made some hostile remarks about Christianity. It was a puzzling sidestep; the decision didn’t invalidate the statute, but it did void that particular order—exactly the way the “exceptions” voided the Philadelphia regulation.
But last week, a state court in Colorado upheld a fine against the very same baker for refusing to bake a “transition cake” for a transgender customer. The conflict between LGBTQ rights and religious sensibilities is coming back. Dodging won’t make it disappear. A court that is deeply split along cultural and religious lines is going to have to face it sooner or later.
Counting noses, I am not feeling eager to know what they actually think.
What will happen, Magic 8 Ball?
CANNOT PREDICT NOW.


French manufacturer for the catering & the food trade
Home » Company » Our history
This was the time when the phylloxera disease attacked grape vines, and most of them had to be torn up around the town of Tournus. Prominent local personalities and engineers decided to start manufacturing goods made of aluminium and set up the “Manufacture Métallurgique de Tournus” in September 1910. The first building was completed in June 1911. The company employed 40 workmen right from the outset.
Pechiney bought into the capital. A number of innovations and the acquisition of new skills such as stamping and the purchase of new hydraulic presses led to the rapid development of the business. The company now had a payroll of 400 and aluminium had become a symbol of prosperity.
A large number of young people joined the company, bringing new energy to the factory. The “Manufacture Metallurgique de Tournus”, now employing over 600 people, was now recognised by all for the quality and durability of its products. Most shipments used the railways and there was a direct branch line into the factory to make loading easier.
A new workshop was built for the “handling” department, which manufactured tanks, des isothermal containers and trolleys for the food industries, fish trade and catering establishments: this was the beginning of Tournus Equipement. The company started to use stainless steel for its products.
During the eighties “MMT” was taken over by Vivalp, then by Terraillon. In 1991, Tournus Equipement was sold to a shareholder from Lyon, René Aldeguer, also owner of “Morice”, the oven manufacturer. Further development of the business was aimed essentially at producing stainless steel equipment for professional kitchens and self-service lines.
The “Caisse des Depots et Consignations” became the majority shareholder of Tournus Equipement. Considerable investments and a succession of new product launches have now earned Tournus Equipement the number 1 position in France for stainless steel professional kitchen equipment and sales counters for sea food products.
Qualium hands Tournus Equipement over to its executives who join forces with MML Capital, UI Gestion and Bpifrance (Banque Publique d’investissement). The executives hold most of the capital. This is the start of a new venture for Tournus Equipement, which will drive the company to strengthen its position as a leading player in France and to expand on the international market.
Tournus Equipement accelerates its growth with the acquisition of the British company CATERING EQUIPMENT DESIGN. CED has a catalogue of products and technical and commercial expertise that is well known in Great Britain in the fast food and takeaway sector and for bespoke countering.
Associated with Unigrains, Andera and Bpifrance, today the directors and employees shareholders hold 68% of the capital. The company strenghens its role as a major player in France and continues its international development.

Can Anyone Keep Up With The Kardashians?
This wasn’t just another celebrity family with cameras following their everyday life. Something about them was unique and very entertaining- perhaps the dynamics of how they spoke to one another, maybe the unpredictable relationships between sisters, or possibly the amusement that came with every disagreement and future reconciliation.
Currently in its fifth season, the Kardashian family (Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall and Kylie) and dad/husband Bruce Jenner are bigger than ever and deserve to be more than D-list celebrities.
The past five seasons have been filled with breakups, drama and scandal. Khloe was arrested for DUI, Kim broke up with Reggie Bush and Rob confessed he cheated on Cheetah Girls singer Adrienne Bailon. However, the most memorable moments have to include the Las Vegas trip for Kim’s birthday.
The season four episode featuring Kourtney’s boyfriend, Scott Disick and Rob fighting after too many drinks and the dinner that officially confirmed viewers’ opinions that Scott is a total loser was an hour that could not go by faster.
Another highlight of the series thus far was the wedding special. The two-hour event featured all the preparations for Khloe and Lamar Odom’s wedding including Bruce discovering his daughter was engaged on television news and later an emotional family toast that had women viewers crying across the country.
This season has begun with more of what we love. One segment was dedicated to the crazy relationship of Khloe and Lamar. Khloe had to teach 6 feet 10 inches tall Lamar how to swim. Another included Kourtney and Scott walking out of a dinner after Kris insulted their relationship once again.
The season isn’t even halfway over and we have yet to see Kim form a new relationship with NFL star Miles Austin and find out if Kourtney decides to leave her family and head to New York with Scott.
Today, it’s hard for any pop culture enthusiast to escape the presence of the Kardashians. Week after week, tabloids feature at least one of the sisters on their cover.
Kim has been pregnant too many times to count and each girl has been betrayed by enough men to fill a lecture hall. Readers are interested, believe it or not, in the crazy stories and are curious to know what is really happening in their lives.
Kim has the most followers than any other family member on twitter with more than 4.8 million people. Ratings are higher than ever with the season five premiere averaging 4.7 million viewers.
Each sister continues to develop projects independently and together on the side such as endorsement deals with GNC and clothing lines for bebe and QVC (QVC’s collection sold out in its first show).
Looking towards the future, this family isn’t disappearing from Hollywood anytime soon. Look at the stir that was caused when Justin Bieber tweeted a photo with Kim at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (yes, they were both invited). He jokingly wrote, “Look it’s my girlfriend.” Kim later received death threats from fellow Beliebers.
In addition, younger sister Kendall is following in her older sisters footsteps by modeling, this time for Forever 21.
A spin-off is being considered focusing on Khloe and Lamar’s married life.
Finally, the rumors continue to swirl that Scott is shopping around for a tell-all book about the family that reportedly includes the revelation that Khloe is not a Kardashian. Please Scott, save your time and energy.
This week, read those juicy tabloids, turn on E!, and get even more caught up with my favorite reality T.V. family- the Kardashians.

Disease in urban areas was a significant problem. Unsanitary housing, overcrowding and poor drainage systems contributed to the spread of disease. Epidemics of typhus, cholera and typhoid were common. It was not until the mid-19th century that the issue of public health was fully addressed.
The disease that most people feared was cholera. Because it stemmed from poor quality water, the disease could spread quickly. Outbreaks of cholera occurred in Britain in 1831, 1848, 1854 and 1867 - it was usually the result of sewage mixing with drinking water. Because the river was the main source of drinking water for most towns, the disease would spread at pace.
Cholera causes violent vomiting and diarrhea, and it carried a 50 per cent death rate. During the outbreak of 1848-49, 15,000 people died in London alone. Although the rich were also affected by the disease, it tended to be more prevalent among the poorer members of society.
Another common issue in industrial cities was smallpox, despite the fact that a vaccine had been developed by Edward Jenner at the beginning of the 19th century. The fact that cities were tightly packed meant the disease could spread easily.
Other major health issues were the diseases typhoid and typhus, which were both fairly common in the Industrial Revolution. Typhus was carried by lice while typhoid was was found in infected water.
Despite all of these disease, tuberculosis (TB) was the biggest killer in the cities. TB attacks the body’s lungs and as a result the organs produces what are known as tubercles, which in turn become spongy and yellow - the infected person breaks into fits of coughing in an attempt to spit out the tubercles.
It was usually the malnourished that were struck down by TB, although it did also affect people in damp and dirty homes. The disease can be spread by the sputum of someone who already has the disease, which is then inhaled by someone else. Again, the fact that cities were overcrowded made them the perfect environment for the spread of the disease.
The records, although hard to come by, suggest that TB accounted for a third of death between 1800 and 1850 in Britain.
Louis Pasteur first discovered microbes in 1864. Up until this time there were a number of theories about what caused diseases. One such belief, which dated back to Medieval England, claimed disease was spread by bad smells and invisible poisonous clouds (miasmas). Few people suspected that polluted water supplies could be the cause.
When a typhoid outbreak blighted Croydon in 1852, the local Board of Health tried to find the bad smell it believed would be the cause, whereas in reality the outbreak was caused by sewage contaminated the town’s water supply.
John Snow, an English physician, was one of the first sceptics of the miasma theory. His observation of the evidence led him to discount the theory of foul air. He published his investigation into the role of the water supply in the Soho epidemic of 1854, in which he identified the source of the epidemic as a public water pump.
The Public Health Act was passed in 1875 thanks to efforts from reformers like Dr Thomas Smith and Edwin Chadwick. It required all new housing to include running water and an internal drainage system; prohibited the construction of shoddy housing and ensured that every public health authority had a medical officer and sanitary inspector.

Senate Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Senator Mathew Urhohide has described as spurious allegations of financial impropriety against the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) by the office of the Auditor General of the Federation (OAuGF).
The Committee which cleared the Bureau of the allegations when the Director General of the Privatisation Agency, Mr. Alex A. Okoh appeared before the Committee on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, said the OAuGF did not reconcile its records before going public to accuse BPE of financial misdemeanor.
Recall that the OAuGF had accused the Bureau of some financial infractions; especially the non-remittance of revenue on ports concessions in the sum of USD$679,403,172.00.
On the Ports Concession payments, the Director General informed the Committee that the Bureau was only a party to the concession as all revenues generated from the exercise were paid directly to the Landlord-Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). He Stated that the Bureau was never part of revenue collection during and after the concession, adding that the OAuGF arrived at the figures by merely looking at the contract documents and assuming the revenues were paid to the Bureau.
Okoh regretted that the allegations against the Bureau has put a smudge on the reputation and integrity of the Bureau and demanded a retraction and apology from the OAuGF.
After listening to the presentation by the DG, BPE and the inadequate response from the OAuGF, the Committee exonerated the Bureau from all the allegations.
The Committee, therefore, advised the OAuGF to always meet with relevant agencies for Post Audit Reconciliation before going public. It berated the OAuGF for not diligently carrying out its duties.

Organisations need to work smarter, which means employee motivation and engagement are critical.
Over recent years, organisations conduct regular engagement with employees. This enables the early identification of support which ‘once a year’/annual processes lack. Employee/staff satisfaction surveys enable organisations to succeed, identify trends, which in turn support morale and embed a ‘listened to’ culture.
These ‘surveys’ need to be simple and short, in various formats ie, textual questions, smiley surveys, open text, so that staff are able to express their feedback openly. Engagement needs to be inclusive and not exclusive.

You can’t beat a bit of nostalgia. It sells. And it’s sexy as hell. Or at least it is when it’s done by Danish four-piece Communions. Having matured from the garage rock roots of their 2014 debut “Cobblestones”, their trajectory into a more '80s pop-inspired sound seems to be very much continuing with their first release in over a year.
Shimmering guitars, dainty synths, and frontman Martin Rehof’s trademark vocally androgynous yearnings all come together to create a track that’s akin to a sonic version of an early '80s VHS prom video.
Reflecting on the song's apparent retro sound, the band says: "I think what we like about the '80s mainly has a lot to do with the sound of the studio production, a lot of which has a kind of ethereal and gradiose quality to it."

Removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Breast reduction can also reduce the size of the areola – the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal of this procedure is to give patient smaller breasts that are in proportion with the rest of her body. Breast reduction is usually performed for physical relief versus cosmetic improvement.

2 to 4 hours.
Possible bleeding, infection or reaction to the anesthesia. Some patients develop small sores around the nipples after the procedure, but can be treated with antibiotic creams.
It may take 6 months to a year for breasts to settle into their new shape, but swelling and bruising will disappear in the first few weeks. May ache for a couple of weeks. Should avoid lifting or pushing anything heavy for 3 to 4 weeks. Back to work (if not too strenuous) and social activities: about 2 weeks.
Noticeable, permanent scars (poor healing and wider scars are more common among smokers). Slightly mismatched breasts, unevenly positioned nipples, and possible loss of feeling in nipples or breasts. Since breast reduction surgery removes most of the milk ducts leading to the nipples, future breast-feeding may not be possible.
Permanent, sensitive to hormonal shifts, weight changes, and pregnancy.
Although techniques vary, the most common procedure involves an anchor-shaped incision (similar to some breast augmentation techniques) that circles the areola, which extends downward, and follows the natural curve of the crease beneath the breast. After the surgeon removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, moving the nipple and areola to their new position, he or she then brings the skin from both sides of the breast down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. (Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the armpit area) Find a breast reduction specialist in your area.

In the wake of Chat GBT, Artificial intelligence ignites a technology war
The world’s major technology companies announced the imminent launch of new programs based on artificial intelligence, in an attempt by these companies to save themselves from the “technological bomb” detonated by the American startup “Open AI” after it launched the “Chat GBT” program, which is a system A conversation that answers the questions that are asked to him in a rather accurate manner, and this tool is also capable of writing novels or poems in seconds, and it entered the field of the labor market in amazing ways, according to testimonies of users.
Well-known large companies, headed by Google, have benefited from the trial period to launch “Chat GBT” in the technology market since last November, as the program did not attract attention in the first weeks because it was in an initial evaluation stage, but the technology companies were working tirelessly during this period. Months in order not to lag behind the grinding global race in the technology market, each one prepared a “rush” version in an attempt to prevent “Chat GBT” from swallowing up its market shares.
ChatGBT is not the first program of its kind, but what was surprising about it is the quality of the answers it provides, whether by writing texts centered on a specific topic, explaining a complex issue in an understandable way, or even composing a poem or song lyrics.
Microsoft.. the first to arrive
Technology companies moved in two streams, the first mainly involving Microsoft, as it was the first to realize the “dangerousness” of the “Chat” program, and chose to invest in cooperation with the parent company of the program directly, and now threatens the throne of “Google” on the advertising market and controlling the main path of the sector. Technology via a range of new innovations.
The story began in the open since the end of January, when “Microsoft”, which has a partnership with “Open AI”, the creator of “Chat GPT”, announced that it would invest “several billions of dollars”, about 10 billion, according to US media, to enhance its cooperation. with the startup.
Yesterday (Wednesday), Microsoft launched its highly anticipated masterpiece, taking advantage of this partnership, which is updating its search engine (Bing) and Internet browser (Edge Web) with artificial intelligence, which indicates its ambition to regain the lead in consumer technology markets in which it has fallen.
The manufacturer of the operating system (Windows), according to a report by Jeffrey Dustin told Reuters, is betting on its future with artificial intelligence through billions of dollars in investments, while raising the flag of the challenge to Alphabet’s Google, which has outperformed Microsoft for years in Internet search and browsing technology.
Now, Microsoft is introducing an intelligent chatbot to accompany Bing search results, putting AI that can summarize web pages, synthesize disparate sources, and even compose and translate email messages, at the disposal of more consumers.
Microsoft expects to earn another $2 billion in search advertising revenue for every percentage point its shares rise. And Microsoft’s decision to update its browser (Edge) will intensify competition with its competitor (Chrome) of Google.
Microsoft’s share in the Internet search market so far is about 10 percent.
Google.. a creative ordeal
On the other hand, “Google” found itself in a “creative ordeal”, as “Microsoft” preceded it in riding the wave of the greatest technical development in the world of artificial intelligence, and it had to provide a product that is comparable to, or superior to, “Chat GPT”, otherwise the price will be It is very expensive, as the experiences of some ancient companies in the world of technology embody the rule of “one who is convinced of one’s success dies.” These companies were not only excluded from the competition, but also from the profitable market entirely, similar to “Nokia” for mobile phones.
Indeed, on Monday, Google announced the launch of its “cool” conversational robot in a beta phase.
The robot aims to combine the breadth of knowledge in the world on the one hand with the power of its language programs, its intelligence and its ability to innovate on the other hand.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, explained in a statement reported by Agence France-Presse that the robot aims to combine the breadth of knowledge in the world on the one hand with the power, intelligence and innovation of our language programs on the other hand.
Commenting on the fierce competition, Santiago Pombo of the data analytics company, Thinkspot, tweeted: “This is similar to the race to space,” referring to the “search engine war 2.0.”
The data indicates that it is difficult for “Google” to prevent its emerging new competitor (Open AI) and its great supporter, “Microsoft”, from reducing its market share due to the great dazzle left by the “Chat” program on users and the “trend” of the street, especially since “ Chat »has succeeded in penetrating all the interests of the financial, business, entertainment and literary community. But Google may win this war if major flaws appear in the “Chat” program, and at the same time Google succeeds in providing something more reliable, which is what the giant company is betting on. According to Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, Google intends to “create systems that are reliable.” “We are committed to the development of artificial intelligence in a responsible manner,” he said in a report to Agence France-Presse, noting that “Google” resorts to external organizations, government agencies and experts “to make its artificial intelligence tool safe and useful.”
Baidu.. Beta stage
On the other hand, giant Chinese companies have moved in and put forward prototypes of the most advanced AI innovations. In any case, Chinese companies have their own vision of technology and a giant domestic market that makes them less anxious than their Western counterparts.
In this context, the Chinese technology giant Baidu announced, on Tuesday, the launch of its own tool based on artificial intelligence, in a trial phase.
A Baidu spokeswoman told AFP that the company “is supposed to finish internal testing” of its software in March, and that the tool, called “Show me bot”, will then be made available “widely” at a date yet to be determined.
Baidu is the largest Chinese company to date to design a chatbot similar to ChatGBT.
The Chinese group has previously entered the world of artificial intelligence in the field of autonomous cars and cloud computing.
Also in China, the Alibaba Group announced, yesterday, Wednesday, that it is developing a tool similar to GBT Chat, and that it is currently in the internal testing phase. It is known that “Alibaba” has been focusing for years on large language models and synthetic intelligence (generative artificial intelligence).

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.- Lake Superior State men's hockey, which began its new era under head coach Damon Whitten, fell short in the season opener against Michigan Tech, losing to the Huskies by a score of 5-3.
The Lakers showed heart and grit against a much more experienced Michigan Tech squad that was predicited to finish third in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association standings at the end of the season.
Daniel Vernace started the scoring for the Lakers with an eve- strength goal 2:52 into the game. After the Huskies tied the game on a power play goal by Reid Sturos, LSSU's Garret Clemment added an unassisted goal that snuck between Jaimie Phillips and the right-side pipe. The game remained tied at two after the first period and through the second period.
Malcolm Gould opened the scoring for Michigan Tech in the third period at the 13:32 mark and gave the Huskies their first lead of the game. Freshman Jason Bird notched his first goal as a Laker at the 10:04 mark, merely seconds after a Laker power play had concluded.
MTU's Tanner Kero answered with the game-winner 22 seconds later, and Blake Pietila tallied an empty-netter during the game's final minute.
Gordie Defiel got the start in net for the Lakers, racking up 31 saves in his first career start as a Laker.
The Huskies were too tough however, scoring two goals including an empty netter to finish off the Lakers. The Lakers return tomorrow night against the Huskies. The puck will drop at 5:07 pm.

McCain – 49%
Obama – 43%
It’s pretty astonishing that Georgia is even in leaners column at this point. This state hasn’t gone blue since 1976.
And with early voting seemingly favoring Dems, McCain has a fight on his hands that he most likely never anticipated.
In fact, a recent poll showed Obama with a 1 point advantage.
Long story short, this is one of those states that McCain can’t lose.
Because if he does, it’s landslide time.
