Telford Tigers were forced to play with just ten fit skaters as they took on Sheffield Schimitars at Telford Ice Rink. The injury-hit squad were looking to snatch a win in a bid to enhance their push towards the English Premier League play-offs. But with Sheffield boasting one of the most talented squads in the league, would Telford be able to take all two points? Our video team was on hand to capture all the action. Please not that due to technical difficulties, a section of the footage is of poor quality. We apologise for this.

SEE ALSO: A Dirtbombs Family Tree
It's been nearly three decades since Dirtbombs leader Mick Collins first picked up a guitar with the sole intention of "murdering the Eagles." It's been precisely four decades since Collins heard, at age 3, his very first favorite song — Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly" — on a hand-me-down 78 RPM record. Since then, the tall, bespectacled, deep-voiced rock 'n' roller from Detroit has been scorned, worshipped, categorized and just plain misunderstood — sometimes simultaneously — by a music world often more interested in labeling than listening. But Collins is now considered in many corners of the globe a musical trailblazer, an iconoclast who puts his stamp on everything from slick disco to the most archaic country blues. And, like any oddball black trailblazer from, say, Ike Turner to Phil Lynott, misinterpretation is part of the deal.
Tesla wants Detroit partnership
Yes to the partnership, no to anything more serious, says Tesla Vice President Darryl Siry. Tesla, which plans to start producing its first vehicle, a $100,000 roadster, in March after many delays, wants to join with a large automaker that can manufacture its third model at higher volumes, Siry told Greentech Media at Piper Jaffray's Clean Technology and Renewables Conference in New York City on Wednesday. Tesla plans a second model in a couple of years, the White Star sedan, that would cost $50,000 to $65,000 and be manufactured at a plant to be constructed in Albuquerque, N.M. The third model is expected to be a compact sports car that Tesla officials have said would cost between $30,000 and $35,000. But Siry said Tesla, based in San Carlos, Calif., does not want to become part of a large car company.
Mazda's Speed Demon
The Mazdaspeed3 is a hot little skateboard of a car that's rapidly becoming a cult model among young driving enthusiasts. Nearly 80% of buyers are male and their average age is only 35, youngest in the segment, according to J.D. Power's (MHP) Power Information Network (PIN). There's a reason for that: Dollar for dollar, this may be the hottest low-priced compact on the road. If you're looking for a tamer vehicle, stick with the regular Mazda3, the popular model the Speed3 is based on. The Speed3, however, only comes with a six-speed manual transmission and there's only one choice of engine: a turbocharged version of the 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that comes standard in the Mazda3. The turbocharger raises the engine's output to 263 hp and 280 pound-feet of torque, up from 156 hp and 150 lb.-ft.
IBM Improves SameTime Telephony and Collaboration
IBM just announced and demoed new advanced group collaboration and enterprise telephony capabilities for SameTime here at its Lotusphere conference in Orlando. The two will be delivered as new SameTime releases, SameTime for Unified Telephony and SameTime for Advanced, due out later this year. SameTime for Advanced extends the group collaboration capabilities of SameTime, adding persistent chat and screen sharing. SameTime for Unified Telephony will help reduce the cost of supporting and maintaining mixed PBX environments by providing a common interface to all real-time collaboration within the SameTime client. While this won't enable users to access some advanced features specific to a given PBX, they will be able to access 80% of the core features that remain common across most PBXs, Bruce Morse, IBM Lotus's vice president of unified communications, told me after the keynote.
Robbery of Super Bowl pool unsolved a year later
It was four days after last year's Super Bowl, and some of the regulars at Mike's Place were awaiting a payout.
They were among dozens of the Coram bar's patrons who collectively had bet some $150,000 on the big game - and they had won.
On the morning of Feb. 8, the day the winnings traditionally were handed out, Mike's co-owner Joseph Paprocky Jr. sat in an office just down Route 25 from the bar, counting out the winnings, he said.
