Terrible mess of broken branches
Dennis and I spent a couple of days last week hauling branches out of the yard and piling them on the neighbor's field where we will burn them. We managed to clear a portion of the front and side yard, but a daunting amount of work remained to be done.
Saturday morning, a young Mennonite neighbor called Dennis and asked if we could use some help with cleanup. Shortly thereafter, Luke, his aunt, and three of his sisters arrived. With Dennis and me, that made a crew of seven. Dennis and Luke ran the chainsaws and the rest of us gathered branches and stacked them.
They went home at lunch, and when they returned, another brother came along on a Bobcat. Luke stood on the Bobcat's uplifted loader and trimmed some of the higher broken branches with a long-handled chainsaw. He couldn't reach every damaged limb, but he got what he could reach. We were also able to remove the limb from our rooftop, with the help of the Bobcat.
With such a big crew, it was easy to see the progress that we were making. By sunset, we had piled all of the branches from the entire yard. One enormous pile is behind my garden. Another enormous pile is on the old roadbed below the old log house site. There are two more smaller piles in our yard and two piles on the neighbor's field. The birds and rabbits will be happy about all the shelter we've suddenly provided for them.
We thanked our neighbors but it was impossible to really express the gratitude that we feel for their help. It is such a relief to have the mess cleaned up. Next week, I'm going to bake cinnamon rolls for them and take them over with a thank you card.
I don't know what we'll do with all the branch piles. If we try to burn them, we'll have to drag the branches out and burn them a few at a time so we can control the size of the fire.
I read in the Princeton paper that their road departments will haul off storm debris that is piled along state and county roads. If that option becomes available to us in Christian County, we will have to haul the limbs about a quarter of a mile and stack them along the highway.

Winter gardening: If you mulched, you get to be smug about Colorado's big chill
When the weather gets this cold, new gardeners worry. Should they? Not if they've made friends with mulch and microclimates.Winter gardening is a whole quiet science of its own, from cool-season vegetables in cold frames that patiently wait to be harvested, to silvery blue conifers that give a landscape bones and color when everything else is sere and brown.

Back-up Tut and other decoy spatial antiquities
december 2012 by jm
I like this idea -- a complete facsimile of King Tut's burial chamber. Bldgblog comments:via:new-aesthetic bldgblog archaeology facsimiles copying king-tut egypt history 3d-printing physibles
"On the 90th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb, an "authorized facsimile of the burial chamber" has been created, complete "with sarcophagus, sarcophagus lid and the missing fragment from the south wall." The resulting duplicate, created with the help of high-res cameras and lasers, is "an exact facsimile of the burial chamber," one that is now "being sent to Cairo by The Ministry of Tourism of Egypt." [...]
'Interestingly, we read that this was "done under a licence to the University of Basel," which implies the very real possibility that unlicensed duplicate rooms might also someday be produced—that is, pirate interiors ripped or printed from the original data set, like building-scale "physibles," a kind of infringed architecture of object torrents taking shape as inhabitable rooms.' [...]
'In their book Anachronic Renaissance, for instance, Alexander Nagel and Christopher Wood write of what they call a long "chain of effective substitutions" or "effective surrogates for lost originals" that nonetheless reached the value and status of an icon in medieval Europe. "[O]ne might know that [these objects] were fabricated in the present or in the recent past," Nagel and Wood write, "but at the same time value them and use them as if they were very old things." They call this seeing in "substitutional terms".'

Press freedom suffered notable setbacks in 2011. In the run-up to the presidential election in June, journalists reported an alarming rise in attacks and threats in response to campaign coverage. In northern Peru, one journalist was murdered in reprisal for his work, while two others were killed under unclear circumstances. Trial courts convicted four journalists under archaic criminal defamation laws, with one reporter imprisoned for more than six months until his conviction was overturned on appeal. President Ollanta Humala pledged upon assuming office in July to be a "defender of human rights, freedom of the press, and freedom of expression." In July, Congress passed a bill that would eliminate jail terms for defamation, but by late year the president had not signed the measure into law.
Broadcast journalist Paul Segundo Garay Ramírez was jailed on April 19 on charges of defaming a prosecutor in Coronel Portillo. He was initially sentenced to a three-year prison term. On October 28, the Supreme Court tossed out the conviction, citing flawed evidence. A key audiotape, the court found, had not been properly authenticated.
Garay case timeline:
April 19: Garay was imprisoned on charges of defaming Coronel Portillo prosecutor Agustín López Cruz in an undated radio clip.
July 27: An appeals court in Ucayali upheld the sentence but reduced the prison term to 18 months.
September 19: Chief prosecutor Pablo Sánchez Velarde issued a report that found flaws in the case evidence, including lack of proof that the voice on the recording belonged to Garay.
October 29: Garay was freed after 193 days in prison, a day after the Supreme Court overturned the conviction.
In addition to Garay, three other journalists were convicted in 2011 on criminal charges of defaming public officials in critical news coverage. Peru's defamation laws are increasingly out of step with regional trends.
A year of defamation cases:
July: Reporter Hans Francisco Andrade Chávez was convicted on charges of defaming an official in Chepén; an appeals court overturned his conviction in October on procedural grounds.
September: TV and radio station owner Gaston Medina was given a suspended prison sentence and fined on charges of defaming a local congressman.
November: Broadcast journalist Teobaldo Meléndez Fachín received a suspended prison sentence and fine on charges of defaming a local mayor.
A growing regional consensus to decriminalize defamation:
2009: Costa Rica repealed prison terms for criminal defamation.
2009: Argentina revoked criminal defamation provisions regarding information of public interest.
2009: Brazil voided the 1967 Press Law, which imposed harsh penalties for libel and slander.
CPJ documented eight cases in May in which journalists were assaulted, threatened, or harassed in response to their coverage of the June 5 presidential race.
Television reporter Pedro Alfonso Flores Silva, who had covered local government corruption in the northwestern province of Casma, was shot on September 6 and died two days later. Two other journalists were killed in 2011 in unclear circumstances. Radio host Julio Castillo Narváez was gunned down on May 3, and José Oquendo Reyes was killed on September 14. CPJ was investigating the murders to determine whether they were work-related.
Historical information:
7: Peruvian journalists murdered in direct relation to their work since 1992
3: Fatalities in 1992
1: Fatality in 1993
1: Fatality in 2004
1: Fatality in 2007
1: Fatality in 2011
In two cases, Peruvian courts ruled that Congress had violated the country's access-to-information law by withholding records related to alleged malfeasance by members. Courts ruled that Congress must turn over information requested by the regional press group Instituto Prensa y Sociedad (IPYS). Congress had not complied with either ruling by late year.
Information delayed:
7-12: Days allotted by Peruvian law to process information requests.
4: Years it took IPYS to win a court ruling confirming that the public should have access to a Congressional debate that led to sanctions against a member.
2: Years it took to win a court ruling confirming the public should have access to records concerning an allegedly unauthorized Congressional payment.

EnterpriseDB CEO gunning for Oracle
At this week's Open Source Business Conference, the CEO of open source database company EnterpriseDB dismissed a free version of Oracle Corp.'s database as late to the game.
NEWTON, Mass. -- At the Open Source Business Conference this week, several open source software (OSS) vendors had the unique chance to showcase and pitch their products to IT executives who were interested in learning more about open source.
One of the featured companies was EnterpriseDB, an open source database management system vendor whose namesake product is based on PostgreSQL and was introduced earlier this year.
EnterpriseDB president and CEO Andy Astor spoke with SearchOpenSource.com about what it means to be an open source database company in competition with proprietary giants like Oracle, as well as with other open source providers like MySQL AB.
Astor, who told SearchOpenSource.com in May that OSS is an "unstoppable force" that will change the face of software forever, dismissed a free version of Oracle's database as late to the game, and gave an update on the last six months in OSS.
How do you respond to those IT executives, like Tim Vaverchak of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, who are unsure of switching to an open source database app like EnterpriseDB?
Andy Astor: How can I put this? Databases are sticky. People who are have been using a database for a long period of time tend to know the subtleties and intricacies of that database and tend to not want to switch that easily. Frankly, DBAs, as a group, tend to be focused on the databases that they are an expert in. They tend to be very, very concerned with stability and reducing risk, and that is appropriate because that's their job -- to keep those databases running.
I would not call it a religious war or religious issue, but I would certainly agree that DBAs are going to be to be more reluctant to switch their database than perhaps a CIO or c-level executive who would be very interested in a reduction in their database costs.
You mention reluctance on the part of DBAs. How does an open source database vendor deal with that going forward?
Astor: How we deal with reluctance is we are not going to replace Oracle or MySQL or anybody else overnight or at all. There is plenty of room in this market -- this is a $15 billion market -- for all of us. So we will work side by side and bring in new customers when appropriate.
A fundamental part of our value proposition is that we are compatible with Oracle, and so the familiarity that we bring and transferability of skill sets is tremendously to important to that market.
Charlie Brenner of Fidelity has argued that your competition is actually with MySQL and not with Oracle. Do you agree with him? And if not, could you explain specifically who your direct competitors are?
Astor: We have two primary competitors and they are MySQL and Oracle, and they are direct competitors for different reasons. We are indeed a database that is targeted directly at enterprise developers who are moving to open source and want to be their database of choice. Right now, the most popular open source database is MySQL and it is our contention that they are very appropriate for a certain class of applications and not as appropriate for a different class of applications where we make more sense. On the other hand, with Oracle, we bring similar functionality to the table that Oracle does, but at fraction of the price. They are two very strong competitors for two very different reasons.
Another one of the executives, Rick Carey of Fannie Mae, said at the conference that he believes upfront costs are not as big a deal as you first made them out to be. You disagreed with him during the session. Why was that?
Astor: His point is that license costs are only a small fraction of the total cost of ownership of databases, and he is absolutely right. There are additional costs related to maintenance, support and migration. In the three-minute pitch I had, I was not able to get into that, but when you look at the [TCO] of EnterpriseDB versus Oracle, the difference can be 80% to 90%.
That is true because the licenses are dramatically lower, the service and support is bundled into the license price, and the migration costs are little to none because the existing applications are able to work with our database without modification.
Six months ago when we last spoke you said the OSS database was an "unstoppable force" that would erode the dominance of Oracle and Microsoft. What's changed, for better or for worse?
Astor: Open source is an unstoppable force that will forever change the face of the enterprise software industry. Nothing has changed there, including the time frame over the next several years. In 2010, you and I will not recognize the enterprise software industry, but I don't know what it will look like yet.
The new Novell [chief operating officer] Ron Hovsepian who spoke at the keynote, referred to something Gartner Inc. had said: that there will be two operating systems in 2010, Windows and Linux. He and I both believe that is an overstatement, but it is nevertheless a 'would you have believe that if I told you that four years ago?' moment. And certainly it is not.
We are also seeing Oracle respond to the threat of MySQL by buying Innobase, which is the storage manager at the heart of MySQL's most important transactional applications. We are seeing Oracle respond to the low end of the market with a free database, and EnterpriseDB coming from literally nowhere in May to a company that has in four months accumulated over 40,000 downloads and over 4 million Web site page views. We have won a best database award against Oracle and MySQL, and we've seen funding of $7 million.
Does that mean all software will be free? No, it does not. Does it mean that all we will do is sell services and support? No, it does not. It means the model is changing, and we are all involved in an experiment to see how it will change.
You recently sent out an e-mail update regarding Oracle's purchase of Innobase in which you were critical of MySQL, but also assured customers that the same thing could not happen to EnterpriseDB. Why are you so sure?
Astor: Innobase is or was a private company that was separate and distinct from MySQL, and companies can be bought. PostgresSQL is first of all not a company; it is a community that cannot be purchased because there would be nobody to pay money to. In EnterpriseDB, there are no products or projects that can be purchased where we would no longer have the rights to use them commercially.
You mentioned the Oracle free database. As a competitor to Oracle, what are your thoughts on that move?
Astor: First of all, Oracle is late to the game on the free low-end database. Microsoft has been doing it for some time, EnterpriseDB has certainly been doing it since we launched, and even MySQL can be used as long as it is not used commercially for any charge. So, Oracle is demonstrating that it is sort of coming in late to the game and sort of rushing around trying to figure out what is the right response to this changing market.
I think it also demonstrates that they feel their database dominance is being threatened because of the people they are targeting with this free database. In other words, if they mentioned in their release they are targeting students and open source advocates, they are admitting they are losing mindshare, because five years from now those groups are going to be able to buy software. So, from a competitive standpoint [the free Oracle database], is of no consequence because we don't compete with Oracle at the level where we are free to customers.

What Do Markets Want From the Fed?
No matter what the Fed says, expect short-term noise in the markets based on the latest central-bank moves to give way to more pressing concerns over the fiscal cliff. Steven Russolillo reports on Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.

Conservation With Kids: Learning From Each Other
By Cynthia Ramnarace
"Mommy, you're not saving the Earth." Mira folded her 6-year-old arms at me as I cleaned the stove while the water ran idly in the sink.
She was right. I told her so and turned off the tap.
My kids — Mira and 3-year-old Miles — have turned out to be excellent ambassadors for the three R's: reusing, recycling and reducing. They know that a pair of scissors, a rubber band and some markers can transform a paper towel roll into a fashionable set of binoculars. And when we're out and about, we never toss an empty water bottle in the trash simply because a recycling bin is out of sight; Mira, for one, advocates bringing the plastic bottle home and disposing of it properly.
These are great first steps, but I'm continually in search of new ways to encourage earth-friendly activities around the house. After all, just last summer I still fielded requests to fill the kiddie pool daily, and I often caught a little one standing in front of an open fridge leisurely assessing its contents.
So I asked some eco-minded moms for tips on encouraging conservation and reducing waste among the younger set. Here's what they said.
1. Enlist your kids' imaginations.
Before you recycle a soda bottle, cardboard box or glass jar, ask your kids if they think there's a way to reuse it. For inspiration, consider what Sheri Amsel's kids created with a 2-liter plastic bottle. Amsel, author of 365 Ways to Live Green for Kids: Saving the Environment at Home, School, or at Play — Every Day!, helped them create terrariums filled with plants and the occasional small creature. They also used them to store marbles, rocks and action figures.
2. Give them responsibility.
Looking for the perfect starter chore for your young kids? Put them in charge of recycling. Let them decorate each bin — paper, plastic, glass — with pictures, stickers and designs. Then make a game out of recycling, suggests Morgan McKean, blogger at TheGreenChick.me and mother of 5-year-old Jamil.
"Gather several disposable items from around your house, hold them up in front of your children and ask, 'Recycle or trash?'" says McKean. This teaches kids about recycling, but it also shows them how much waste winds up in the garbage bin. And that might spark ideas for ways to use less!
As kids get older, they'll outgrow sorting games like this one. Amsel suggests putting older kids in charge of collecting the redeemable recyclables. Their incentive? They can keep whatever money they make at the recycling center.
3. Make it fun.
To get her 5-year-old son to use less water, McKean uses a game called Beat the Timer. Whenever he's watering plants in the yard or using the shower or sink, McKean sets a timer and challenges him to finish before the buzzer goes off. "This makes water conservation fun and establishes a pattern for respecting water and our limited supply of it," she says.
"The same can be done with the refrigerator door, I realized. Now my kids count to 10 once they open the door. If they haven't figured it out by then, they get what mommy picks."
4. Lead by example.
Last but not least, be a good model. "As much as we want kids to do it on their own, they really model after us," says Amsel. "So if we reuse things and talk about why we're reusing them, kids pick up on that."

Denver's historic McNichols Building re-opens as an event space
A host of Denver's movers and shakers helped shed new light on the city's newest event venue, the historic McNichols Building, by attending LIGHT: An Illuminated Celebration.
The Oct. 26 party is best described as a "multi-sensory extravaganza," one that featured light-based installations on the interior and exterior of the building, illuminated art displays and light installations by Ghost Pixel, in partnership with CEAVCO and Blazen Illuminations.
Guests also were treated to illuminated art displays by Collin Parson; beats from DJ Almighty I.Z. and DJ Ginger Perry; and food from Cru Wine Bar, LoHi Steakbar, Opus Restaurant/Aria Wine Bar, Panzano, Pinche Tacos, The Populist, Vesta Dipping Grill, Zengo and Al Lado. OAK at fourteenth owner/mixologist Bryan Dayton designed the signature cocktails that were served by bartenders from Three Tomatoes Catering.
The food attracted as much attention as the special effects.
Pinche's pork belly tacos were a big hit, as were the duck tacos offered by Zengo and its sister restaurant, Al Lado. Chefs from The Populist served green chili polenta bites paired with apple-parsnip soup shooters. Those with a sweet tooth came back for seconds on the pumpkin hazelnut bread pudding from Panzano and the dulce de leche-filled chocolates from Opus/Aria.

Hi lovelies! Thank you for all your sweet comments on my Father's day post, I really had a great time making sure my Daddy Jeff felt extra special. And in the process, it seems like the cooking bug bit me again. I tend to go through phases with cooking as there are times that I'm really into it and excited to make new recipes, and others when takeout salads become a nightly occurrence. But since I have a stocked refrigerator and was in the mood, I took advantage and made another Mama Pea recipe that I've been wanting to try- Spaghetti Squash Casserole. With the headline of "Crazy fast. Crazy Easy. Crazy good." I knew this was a recipe that I wanted to make. Plus, I was determined not to let my spaghetti squash go to waste. I've thrown out the past 2 I've bought because I was scared of cutting them (my past attempt was here) but I did it all by myself tonight and with a knife not a saw this time!
I was very proud and even more so when this delicious meal came out of the oven…
I followed the recipe almost exactly but made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand. Since I didn't have any cream cheese (I never think to buy it since I only have bagels at Noahs) I used goat cheese medallions instead from Trader Joes. It melted perfectly in the sauce, and let's get real, when is more cheese ever a bad thing? I also used fresh basil instead of dried since I had it on hand.
After this delicious, filling meal, I turned on the tv and was looking for my usual shows when I landed on the U.S. Olympic Trials. I usually only watch gymnastics during the Olympics, but when I saw the Men's Diving trials I was glued to the tv. It was incredible watching these men dive from a platform that's 33 feet in the air! (Confession: I cannot even do a baby dive from the edge of the pool, no matter how hard I try.) These men were doing full handstands on the diving board and then 2 1/2 twists and somersaults. It was truly awe-inspiring and I can only imagine all of the years of hard work and dedication that it has taken them to make it to this point. These are truly incredible athletes! Oh and the fact that they look like this certainly doesn't hurt…
-Do you go through cooking phases?
-What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching?

Axial location of bearings
In general, an interference fit alone is inadequate to locate a bearing ring on a cylindrical seat. Under load, a bearing ring can creep on its seat. Some suitable means to secure the bearing axially is needed.
For a locating bearing, both rings should be secured axially on both sides.
For non-separable bearings in the non-locating position, the ring with an interference fit, typically the inner ring, should be secured axially on both sides. The other ring must be free to move axially on its seat to accommodate axial displacement.
Cylindrical roller bearings in the non-locating position are exceptions. The inner and outer rings of these bearings must be secured axially in both directions.
In machine tool applications, bearings at the tool end generally locate the shaft by transmitting the axial load from the shaft to the housing. In general, then, tool end bearings are located axially, while non-tool end bearings are axially free.

Guess what guys? I heard that Hello Kitty is coming to life as an animated series on Nickelodeon. Now I don't know how true this is but, it would be pretty cool since I love Hello Kitty. In the past I drew several characters from the series that are all made by Sanrio and today because of the new news I heard, I will be submitting another tutorial on one of the characters. This time I figured it would be a good idea to teach you guys "how to draw Charmmy Kitty", step by step. Charmmy Kitty was given to Hello Kitty by Papa as a gift. She is an all white colored Persian cat that is sweet and loving which makes her a perfect fit for Hello Kitty. She wears a bow on her left ear that is trimmed with lace, and a cute lace necklace that is tied around her neck. On this ribbon is the key to Hello Kitty's jewelry box which is also this Sanrio characters trademark. All in all she is going to be wicked easy to sketch out because her design was made that way. You'll see that learning "how to draw Charmmy Kitty" is going to be one of the cutest things you ever drew in a very long time. Have fun guys and keep up the good work. I will be back momentarily so keep your eyes peeled for new stuff you can draw. Adios!

Here's the story behind newly minted grad Brenna Martini and the best-kept secret EVER.
I graduated High School this week. When my Dad said he had a present for me I thought I was getting some cheesy graduation card. But what I received was something truly priceless. Following the ceremony he handed me a bag with a copy of Oh the Places You'll Go, by Doctor Seuss inside. At first I just smiled and said that it meant a lot and that I loved that book. But then he told me "No, open it up." ...On the first page I see a short paragraph written by none other than my kindergarten teacher. I start tearing up but I'm still confused. He tells me "Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I've gotten every teacher, coach, and principal to write a little something about you inside this book." He managed to keep this book a secret for 13 years, and apparently everyone else in my life knew about it! Yes the intended effect occured... I burst out in tears. Sitting there reading through this book there are encouraging and sweet words from every teacher I love and remember through my years in this small town. My early teachers mention my "Pigtails and giggles," while my high school teachers mention my "Wit and sharp thinking.." But they all mention my humor and love for life. is astounding to receive something this moving, touching, nostalgic, and thoughtful. I can't express how much I love my Dad for this labor of love.

From Bowser and Dr. Robotnik to M. Bison and Dr. Wiley, gaming has had many iconic villains. But as well known as those villains are, some of the best villains are found in the Final Fantasy series.
When you think of Final Fantasy villains, who immediately comes to mind? If you were playing games in the PlayStation 1 era, no doubt Sephiroth will be the first one you think of. But while he is doubtless the most famous villain of the series, he is far from the greatest villain Final Fantasy has to offer. That dubious honor instead falls to Kefka, the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VI.
C'mon, we all know why... He actually wins and destroys the world. How many villains actually accomplish destroying the world and become a God? Besides, he's not caught up on petty ideals or anything. He just wants to destroy and kill. The very definition of evil. Then again, there was a reason for his insanity, the way the Magicite poisoned his mind.
Well, Final Fantasy VI is the best video-game of all time so it`s correct. Perfection as far as it can be achieved in video-games. Comparing this with games like cod, gow, gears, me, gta, killzone, halo is an utter disgrace to the intellectual mind.
Back when storytelling mattered more than shiny graphics or fps count, back when you didn't need online to have a good time and DLC was nothing to be upset about.
Long gone are those golden days...
COD/Halo days have come now.
Sad, isn't it?

In 1956, the Red Sox finished in fourth place for the fourth straight season but on July 14, Mel Parnell no-hit the White Sox at Fenway Park and three days later Ted Williams hit his 400th career home run. In June, Fenway Park hosted the annual Mayor's Charity Field Day and a bout featuring local boxer Tony DeMarco and in the fall, Boston College football played at the park as well.
Record: 84-70, 4th in American League
Manager: Michael F. Higgins
Attendance: 1,137,158
The 1956 Red Sox finished with the exact same record (84-70) as they did in 1955 but the team never made a run at the pennant and finished 18 games back, again in fourth place.
The 32,563 fans that attended Opening day at Fenway Park in 1956 saw Frank Sullivan earn a complete-game, 8-1 victory over Baltimore. Sullivan finished the season with a 14-7 record and 3.42 ERA, while Tom Brewer had his finest year with a 19-9 record. Reliever Ike Delock chipped in with a 13 wins but the rest of the staff was nine games under .500.
With a .345 batting average, Ted Williams qualified for the batting crown for the first time since 1951 but he finished second to Triple Crown winner Mickey Mantle. Jackie Jensen led the team in RBIs again with 97 and both Williams and first baseman Mickey Vernon produced over 80 runs each as well.
There were some other nice individual accomplishments in 1956. On July 14, Mel Parnell no-hit the White Sox at Fenway Park following an early rain delay. The left-hander even recorded the final out of the game on a ground ball back to the mound that he ran over to first.
Three days later, Ted Williams hit his 400th career home run during a doubleheader sweep of Kansas City, though Williams spat in the direction of the press box as he crossed the plate. Two months later, on August 7, Williams flipped his bat at the fans in anger. The next day, Ted clamped his hand over his mouth after hitting a home run, and won back the Fenway crowd.
On August 17, at the team's first game back at Fenway Park after a brief six-day road trip, vendors were no longer allowed to sell beer directly to patrons in the ballpark's seats. Fans that wanted a beer had to walk to the concession counters under the stands to purchase one. Vendors wouldn't serve beer in the Fenway Park seating bowl until almost 50 years later.
In 1956, the McGuire Air Force Base took to the Fenway Park field to face the Georgia Chain Gang, a Mayor's Charity Field Day regular at the ballpark.

*For many years, the City of Boston regularly held a summertime Mayor's Charity Field Day. Many of these field days took place at Fenway Park, with a variety of sports, games, activities and other amusements for the crowds. In certain years, the Mayor's Charity Field Day even included an abbreviated baseball game at Fenway Park that was usually played between local teams.
In 1956, local favorite Tony DeMarco had another bout in Fenway Park, winning a 10-round decision over Vince Martinez. The Mayor's Charity Field Day took place once again and Boston College won three of the five football games it played at Fenway Park late in the year.

For gamers who aren't exactly thrilled with the 3DS' slide pad, a Japanese peripheral company has a cover cap that increases the pad's size. One Japanese gamer decided to stack a whole bunch of them to make this slide pad joystick, which looks like it would be either great or plain awful to use. I cannot decide.

MITCHELL - A former Dakota Wesleyan basketball player accused of raping a female student on campus has pleaded not guilty.
Kristopher Wilson was indicted earlier this month on a charge of felony third-degree rape. It carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
The Mitchell Daily Republic reports that the 23-year-old Wilson appeared Tuesday in court Tuesday at the Davison County Public Safety Center in Mitchell. His trial is scheduled for May.
Court documents say the woman was extremely intoxicated and in and out of consciousness when Wilson had sex with her.
Defense attorneys have declined comment.

Apple will release a low-end iPhone this summer, says RBC analyst Amit Daryanani in a note this morning.
He believes it comes in June/July timeframe.
According to his checks, it will have a 4-inch screen like the iPhone 5, but it will have a plastic casing and a non-Retina screen. Retina is Apple's marketing language for its super sharp screen.
Daryanani says Apple will be trying to sell the phone for less than $400 as it targets the pre-paid smartphone market, and emerging markets like China and India.
Analysts have talked about a cheap iPhone for years now. They believe Apple has to do it to find growth in countries like China and India, where the current iPhone is not subsidized by carriers and therefore too expensive for consumers.
The cheap iPhone debate sounds a lot like when Apple was getting pressured to make a netbook. Instead, it made the iPad, which killed the netbook.
Some people were hoping Apple was going to innovate and release something that would act as a cheap iPhone without being just a cheap iPhone.
If this RBC report is accurate, it sounds like Apple is simply doing a less expensive iPhone. Considering Tim Cook's mantra is to build the best product possible, we'd be a little surprised if it really is a cheap phone. That's not the best product possible.
Daryanani thinks the cheap iPhone will generate $22 billion in sales for Apple in 2014, as well as $5.00 in EPS. He thinks that would add $50 in value to Apple's stock.

Photograph not included in the Web version Stockholders Have Their Say The buzz of conversation mounts as men and women gather at the door-ways, pick up programs, gradually move into the hall and take seats. Old friends lean out over the aisles to greet each other. Chatter reaches its peak and then diminishes as latecomers bustle into their places. Voices hush and all eyes turn to stage front, ex-pectantly. For it's the show of the year-one performance only—and the price of a seat can be in the thousands of dol-lars. It's the annual stockholders meet-ing of United Synergistic Corporation. Call an annual meeting a show? Why, sure. Management is on show. It's a day of reckoning in which Mrs. Hometown with two shares and Mr. Mogul with ten thousand get to see just what has been going on in the executive suite and how these goings on have affected sales and earnings of the corporation as well as the value of the ticket of admission: shares. It's also the opportunity for shareholders to show their stuff to management by 8 registering approval or disapproval through their proxies or direct votes. And, if the audience is a lively and in-volved one, it can be a very exciting show. Typically, the script goes like this: The chairman or president of United Synergistic calls the meeting to order and introduces the directors and impor-tant company officers. He also intro-duces the auditors. Votes are collected for tabulation. In the meantime the chief executive officer will describe the corporation's ups or downs for the past year. He'll detail mergers and acquisi-tions, describe capital outlays and new product breakthroughs. If things are rosy, he'll emphasize the bright spots. If the company has been suffering, he'll do some justifying. And then, just be-fore the results of stockholder voting are announced, he'll throw the meeting open to questions from the floor. This is the climactic point of the meeting. If enough stockholders, no matter how humble their holdings, stand up and let themselves be heard, the annual meeting can be lively the-ater. If stockholders are shy, the meet-ing will be a cut-and-dried lecture presentation, to the relief of the cor-porate officers in the spotlight. When stockholders do ask questions, management does most of the answer-ing. However, stockholders frequently request that they be permitted to ad-dress their questions directly to the auditors or, on other occasions, man-agement may refer questions to the auditors. The Haskins & Sells repre-sentative, for example, may be asked if the Firm received full cooperation from management while making its audit, how frequently the auditors met with the audit committee. Have the auditors checked for inventory obso-lescence? Have the auditors noticed any problems in the collection of ac-counts receivable? More and more stockholders have been asking questions lately, and the information they seek is not always in-cluded in the handsomely packaged annual reports that are issued before these once-a-year conclaves. Even though items are detailed in print, they often must be clarified orally for the stockholders. Stockholder questions typically re-flect the shareholder's own financial interests. When will dividends be in-creased? Can't the company hold costs down better? Was such-and-such an expenditure necessary? Aren't execu-tive salaries too high? Why were bonuses increased? The more sophisti-cated investors might note in the an-nual report that the reason why the company's earnings for the year were lower than expected could be traced to the writeoff of an expensive research program. They could question the method used to account for these costs. Not all questions concern finances, especially with the growth of social

About Our Book:
About Our Book:
Told in the personal and political, Council's book is a fascinating read. The pages turn themselves! Women's Studies may be the most important development of the Feminist Movement. That it is in almost every university in America assures that silence about women's oppression from time immemorial has been lifted, and creates forces to fight for women's freedom worldwide." ." Alice Donenfeld, attorney, TV producer, former NOW speaker, NY. "Carol Council brings the feeling and passion of the times so close you can hear the music and feel the angst of those struggling for women to attain their rightful place in universities, work and the world. Following generations owe her a debt… This book is a must for all to read - lest we forget..Jacqui Ceballos - founder and president, Veteran Feminists of America.

About the Author:
Carol Rowell Council has a B.A in Public Administration from SDSU, and an M.F.A. in Art History from Rosary College Villa Schifanoia in Florence, Italy. She is the former director of the San Diego Women's History Museum and Educational Center. At age 21, in 1969, Rowell Council co-founded the first women's studies program in the world, the Women's Studies Department at San Diego State University.

"Burnett Family" - The Burnetts are in over their heads. With five kids, including Zachary (8) and two sets of twins -- Joseph and John (3) and Michael and Molly (16 months) -- this is a family consumed by chaos. A self-employed, stay-at-home dad, Michael, is struggling to find a balance between work and family. Mom Joanne is a schoolteacher who comes home every afternoon to four needy toddlers who want all of her attention and a household full of chores that Dad has deemed "woman's work." Jo enters the equation with a master plan for this family to organize their lives and wake up to the reality of their situation. Jo's ultimate goal: reduce the chaos, add structure to an unbalanced routine and give the parents the tools to manage their clingy brood, on "Supernanny," WEDNESDAY, JULY 27 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 4/18/05)
Supernanny Jo Frost catapulted to fame when the U.K. version of "Supernanny" debuted in 2004, and she's considered by many to be a godsend to parents, counting millions of viewers among her fans. In addition, her paperback book, Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your Children, rose to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List.
On the television program, Jo observes how parents handle their day-to-day obstacles with their children. Once she's assessed the pitfalls, she works with the parents, instilling her tried-and-true methods for transforming unwanted behavior. Then, after demonstrating just how well the new style will work and getting unbelievable results from the children, the parents must fly solo with the Supernanny techniques. For several days they try to implement Jo's suggestions, and she revisits them at the end of the program to help keep them on track for the future. When parents witness Jo's results and -- even better -- achieve them on their own, they are true believers in the Supernanny way. Best of all, children and adults alike can enjoy the lasting benefits of a more harmonious family life.
Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the American and British versions of the show. Craig Armstrong is executive producer of the American version. "Supernanny" is produced by Ricochet, Ltd.
This program carries a TV-PG parental guideline.

Splash Screen Beginner Tutorial
Add a Splash Screen to a Java Application
I spent about a day researching how to do this. It is easy and takes just a few minutes once you know the procedure.
A Splash Screen is useful when the application has an initialization procedure that can take a significant amount of time before the application becomes responsive. It may also contain useful marketing or other information. In short the purpose of a splash screen is to entertain and inform the user while the program is busy getting ready to respond. Another benefit of showing a splash screen is that it helps the developer and end user understand how long each initialization step takes and if for some reason the initialization doesn't complete we know which step caused the problem
This project is designed for simplicity, once you understand it there's plenty you can do to make it look prettier.
If you're in a hurry
If you want to see the results here's the jar this tutorial produces File:SplashDemo.jar
Here is the NetBeans project File:SplashDemo.zip This was developed using NetBeans 6.8, Java 1.6.0_18; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 16.0-b13. The results were tested on Windows XP, Vista and 7, and Linux (Centos 5, Ubuntu 10.04). I've also verified the project works with NetBeans 6.9.1 and 6.10m1.
In general, even if you are not using any IDE, you only need to take two steps to add a splash screen to your Java application:
- Add an image to the jar (png, jpg, and gif formats are supported)
- Update your executable jar manifest to specify the image to be used as a splash screen. Add:
SplashScreen-Image: <full or relative path to image in jar>
The above will show the splash screen when you build and run the jar but not when you run or debug from NetBeans. To see the splash and be able to debug splash modifications, go to the run properties and add the following to the VM options
-splash:<full or relative path to image in the project>
Note that if you use the IDE browse function for the splash image it will use the fully qualified path to the image, which is fine until the project is moved to a different location.
To customize the splash (add current task and a progress bar) use SplashScreen.getSplashScreen(); Which will allow you to draw over the splash image. See the sections below on how to quickly add a splash screen using the NetBeans IDE.
I would like to emphasize the "draw over" part. The Graphics Context of the image is available and we will use that to draw on the image. This is different from adding widgets to a Swing container.
Step by Step
To start, create an empty Java Application project in the NetBeans IDE.
To add a Splash create an image but leave some space for additions in the next part. The image may be PNG, JPEG or GIF. For example in my image notice the blank area at the bottom, that is where the text and progress bar will go.
(Irrelevant fact: I am at the controls of the T28B in the picture, during a formation flying lesson).
Copy your Splash Screen image to the source folder in your project. Note: if you have more resources you may want to a separate resources folder.
Next, from the files tree open manifest.mf:
Add the SplashScreen-Image property as shown.
Manifest-Version: 1.0 SplashScreen-Image: splashdemo/splash.png X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
Build the project and execute the jar. The Splash will display. At this point the splash screen will not display when you run or debug the project from the NetBeans IDE.
To get the Splash to display with the run or debug command from the IDE edit the Run properties and add to the VM options field
The reason we want the splash screen to display from inside the IDE is that it gives us the ability to debug the customization presented next.
Customizing the Splash to include task name and progress
We can make minor changes to the Splash at run time by overlaying simple text and graphic objects. If you want much more control you can replace the image with a Swing Panel (see Java Technical Article on Splash Screen [1]) but that is not part of this tutorial.
In this section we are going to overwrite part of our splash image with a text string and progress bar (actually a filled in rectangle). Remember I suggested we leave some blank area in our image for this. I reserved the bottom 15% or this use.
The following code can be put anywhere but I prefer static methods in the Main class. This allows us to call them from any class with a call like:
Main.splashText("Doing the first thing.");
To manage the Splash we create 3 methods:
- splashInit - set object properties we need for the other methods
- splashText - display a text string
- splashProgress - update progress bar
Assume that the intialization is done in a method call appInit. Our appInit method will just display a list of strings one at a time and wait a second to simulate an initialization task.
The main method contains:
public static void main(String[] args) { splashInit(); // initialize splash overlay drawing parameters appInit(); // simulate what an application would do // before starting if (mySplash != null) // check if we really had a spash screen mySplash.close(); // if so we're now done with it // begin with the interactive portion of the program }
The methods supporting the Splash are described below:
/** * Prepare the global variables for the other splash functions */ private static void splashInit() { mySplash = SplashScreen.getSplashScreen(); if (mySplash != null) { // if there are any problems displaying the splash this will be null Dimension ssDim = mySplash.getSize(); int height = ssDim.height; int width = ssDim.width; // stake out some area for our status information splashTextArea = new Rectangle2D.Double(15., height*0.88, width * .45, 32.); splashProgressArea = new Rectangle2D.Double(width * .55, height*.92, width*.4, 12 ); // create the Graphics environment for drawing status info splashGraphics = mySplash.createGraphics(); font = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 14); splashGraphics.setFont(font); // initialize the status info splashText("Starting"); splashProgress(0); } }
In the area we allocated for text we first erase a rectangle, then draw text. If you are unfamiliar with the text primitives the learning area covering text [2] is worthwhile reading. One improvement we could make is to determine if the text will fit in the area allocated and truncate it, or wrap it into multiple lines.
/** * Display text in status area of Splash. Note: no validation it will fit. * @param str - text to be displayed */ public static void splashText(String str) { if (mySplash != null && mySplash.isVisible()) { // important to check here so no other methods need to know if there // really is a Splash being displayed // erase the last status text splashGraphics.setPaint(Color.LIGHT_GRAY); splashGraphics.fill(splashTextArea); // draw the text splashGraphics.setPaint(Color.BLACK); splashGraphics.drawString(str, (int)(splashTextArea.getX() + 10),(int)(splashTextArea.getY() + 15)); // make sure it's displayed mySplash.update(); } }
For a progress bar we are going to use a long thin rectangle and fill an appropriate percentage of it. If you are not familiar with the drawing primitives, the learning trail [3] is an excellent place to learn.
/** * Display a (very) basic progress bar * @param pct how much of the progress bar to display 0-100 */ public static void splashProgress(int pct) { if (mySplash != null && mySplash.isVisible()) { // Note: 3 colors are used here to demonstrate steps // erase the old one splashGraphics.setPaint(Color.LIGHT_GRAY); splashGraphics.fill(splashProgressArea); // draw an outline splashGraphics.setPaint(Color.BLUE); splashGraphics.draw(splashProgressArea); // Calculate the width corresponding to the correct percentage int x = (int) splashProgressArea.getMinX(); int y = (int) splashProgressArea.getMinY(); int wid = (int) splashProgressArea.getWidth(); int hgt = (int) splashProgressArea.getHeight(); int doneWidth = Math.round(pct*wid/100.f); doneWidth = Math.max(0, Math.min(doneWidth, wid-1)); // limit 0-width // fill the done part one pixel smaller than the outline splashGraphics.setPaint(Color.GREEN); splashGraphics.fillRect(x, y+1, doneWidth, hgt-1); // make sure it's displayed mySplash.update(); } }
/** * just a stub to simulate a long initialization task that updates * the text and progress parts of the status in the Splash */ private static void appInit() { for(int i=1;i<=10;i++) { int pctDone = i * 10; splashText("Doing task #" + i); splashProgress(pctDone); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { // ignore it } } }
There are several enhancements you can make to improve the look. Using an alpha channel to overwrite the image in a contrasting color is my first suggestion. Having a section of the screen with a constant color background, like this and erasing to that color looks better. I used different colors here to make it obvious what we are doing, I call it my Angry Fruit Salad color scheme.

While Mitt Romney may have scored a solid victory in New Hampshire, the field of Republican Party candidates seeking the party's nomination in the 2012 U.S. presidential elections remains a six-man race. And all of the candidates are looking to the next stop in the race, South Carolina.
Mitt Romney captured nearly 40 per cent of the vote in New Hampshire, putting him in a clear lead in the race. In his victory speech, Romney looked to South Carolina and the man who could ulimately be his main competitor, President Barack Obama.
"And tonight, we're asking the good people of South Carolina to join the citizens of New Hampshire and make 2012 the year [President Barack Obama] runs out of time," Romney said.
Congressman Ron Paul, who placed second in New Hampshire, was undeterred, as was Jon Huntsman, a former Utah governor and ambassador to China. "I'd say third place is a ticket to ride, ladies and gentlemen!," Huntsman said.
Rick Santorum, who lost to Romney by only eight votes in Iowa, cast himself as the genuine candidate of the Republican base. "Ladies and gentleman, we have an opportunity in this race. We have an opportunity to be the true conservative," Santorum said.
But political analysts, say that for Romney's Republican rivals, South Carolina's January 21 primary could determine whether they will ever be able to mount a serious challenge.
"To the extent that folks like Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman were focusing all their attention on really early states like Iowa and New Hampshire, that was time and money and effort that they weren't putting into South Carolina. So, everyone else who is not Romney is going to be playing catch-up," said Chris Galdieri of St. Anselm College.
Even before votes were cast in New Hampshire, candidates were out meeting with voters in South Carolina trying to pave the way for victory there.
Mitt Romney has received the endorsement of 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who won the South Carolina primary that year. He's also got the support of the state's governor, Nikki Haley.
Analysts say that unless conservative voters who do not like Romney start to coalesce around a single candidate, Romney could very likely emerge as the candidate to challenge President Barack Obama in the general election.

Harvard looks to continue one streak, end another this weekend against Brown and Yale (Gil Talbot).
Story Line
The Harvard women's volleyball team will conclude its five-match homestand this weekend when it welcomes Brown and Yale to the Malkin Athletic Center. The Crimson will host Brown Friday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. before defending its home court against Yale Saturday, Oct. 6 at 5 p.m.
A live video stream and live stats will be available for both matches this weekend through GoCrimson.com by clicking here.
Last Time Out
Trailing 13-6 in the fourth set, the Harvard women's volleyball team found itself with its back against the wall. The Crimson rallied to take the set, 25-22, and won a tightly-contested fifth frame, 15-13, to earn its first Ivy League victory of the season Saturday night over Penn.
Seniors Taylor Docter and Beth Kinsella and freshman Hannah Schmidt each notched a double-double for the second consecutive night for Harvard. Docter tallied 14 kills and 10 digs, while Kinsella led the Crimson in assists and digs with 25 and 19, respectively. Schmidt added 24 assists and 14 digs.
Freshman Kathleen Wallace finished with 14 kills and hit a match-best .375, and junior Erin Cooney chipped in 13 kills. Defensively, junior Natalie Doyle had 18 digs, while freshman Caroline Holte tallied a team-high five blocks.
Top Plays
Harvard recently released a new feature on GoCrimson, Top Plays of the Month. The first edition featured Kathleen Wallace at No. 7 for her 12 kill, .667 hitting percentage performance against Providence.
The Hitters
Harvard's offense has been bookended by experience, with senior captain Taylor Docter and freshman Kathleen Wallace leading the way. Docter owns a team-best 3.04 kps average, good for third in the Ivy League, while Wallace ranks 10th in the conference with 2.66 kps and a .302 hitting percentage. Junior Erin Cooney is third on the squad with 2.05 kps and sophomore Caroline Walters (1.77 kps) boasts a team best .356 hitting percentage, the fourth highest in the Ancient Eight.
Harvard ranks second in the Ivy League as a group with a combined .215 hitting percentage, its highest mark since hitting .208 in 2008.
Setting it Up
Senior Beth Kinsella and freshman Hannah Schmidt have shared the setting duties as the team has shifted into a 6-2 offensive system. Kinsella has dished out 273 assists for an average of 5.46 per set, while Schmidt has tallied 241 assists for a 4.63 average.
On the Block
Middle blockers Teresa Skelly, Caroline Walters and Caroline Holt have helped Harvard average 2.17 bps, good for third in the Ivy League. Walters leads the team with 48 total blocks and a 0.91 bps average. Holte ranks a close second with 47 total blocks and an average of 0.89 bps with Skelly chipping in 21 total blocks and 0.88 bps in limited action.
Keep an Eye Out For…
Beth Kinsella, Taylor Docter and Teresa Skelly each have a chance to make their marks on the Harvard record books this season. Kinsella currently ranks sixth all-time with 1,510 assists and has averaged 7.22 aps for her career. Docter has moved into a tie with current assistant coach Christine Wu '12 for sixth place in career aces (93) while her career 2.61 kps are good for ninth. She is also just 62 kills shy of joining Harvard's all-time top 10 with 860. Skelly, meanwhile, is just six block assists (178) short of entering the program's top 10 and needs 35 total blocks (204) to join that list as well.
Scouting Brown (4-9, 0-3 Ivy League)
Brown defeated Rhode Island Wednesday night to end a six-match losing streak and improve to 4-9 overall, 0-3 in the Ivy League. The Bears are led by Maddie Lord who ranks sixth in the Ancient Eight in kills per set with 2.83 and Amanda Nickel who comes into the weekend averaging 2.52 kps. Kathryn Conner boasts 4.34 dps, the fourth-highest average in the league, while Alexandra Rieckhoff has dished out 6.41 aps.
Harvard has won seven straight matches against Brown and nine of the last 11. The Crimson swept the season series a year ago with a pair of 3-1 victories, led by Taylor Docter and Kristen Casey who each averaged 3.75 kps against the Bears. The duo was also strong defensively, averaging 2.88 dps and 2.75 dps, respectively, while Teresa Skelly added 2.00 kps and 0.88 bps.
Scouting Yale (7-5, 3-0 Ivy League)
Yale enters play this weekend atop the Ivy League standings with a perfect 3-0 conference mark and a 7-5 overall record. The Bulldogs have won each of their last four contests, including three straight Ivy League matches on the road, and will continue their road trip this weekend against Dartmouth and the Crimson. Yale currently owns the conference's best hitting percentage (.226), kills per set average (14.49) and assists per set average (13.56), while ranking second in both opponent hitting percentage (.178) and digs (19.39).
Mollie Rogers headlines the strong Bulldog attack which features five student-athletes averaging more than 2.00 kps. Rogers comes into the weekend at 2.95 kps and has added 4.20 dps on the opposite side of the net. Kelly Johnson has notched 2.59 kps with Kendall Polan adding 2.46 kps and 3.90 dps. Jesse Ebner and Haley Wessels have each averaged 2.28 kps.
Yale earned the season sweep of Harvard a year ago with a pair of 3-0 victories. Taylor Docter notched 3.67 kps in the loses while Kristen Casey tallied 2.33 kps and 3.83 dps.
Double Trouble
Seniors Taylor Docter and Beth Kinsella and freshman Hannah Schmidt have combined for 14 double-doubles this season. Each recorded a double-double in back-to-back matches last week against Princeton and Penn, while Docter's streak of consecutive double-doubles has now reached five.
2012 Double-Doubles
Career Double-Doubles
Block Party
Harvard recorded 11 blocks against Holy Cross, marking the third straight match and fourth time overall that the team has combined for double-digit blocks. Harvard averaged 2.36 bps during the three-match run.
Caroline Weaver was instrumental to the Crimson's success on the front line during this stretch and set a career-high in total blocks against both Dartmouth and Holy Cross. She first registered six total blocks, including three solo, at Dartmouth before notching eight block assists against Holy Cross.
Career Night
Taylor Docter set a new career-high with 23 kills at Dartmouth and finished the evening hitting .284 on 67 attempts with just four errors. Docter's 23 kills are the second most for any Crimson student-athlete since 2008, with Kathryn McKinley's '09 total of 26 at Yale in 2008 topping the list.
Serving it Up
Taylor Docter matched her career-high with five aces at New Hampshire, marking the fourth time the senior has tallied five in a single match. Docter's five aces were also the second-highest total of any Crimson since 2008, with Katherine Kocurek's '10 six aces at Dartmouth in 2008 leading the way.
Hitting it Home
Harvard registered a .474 hitting percentage against Providence, by far the highest hitting percentage of the season recorded by an Ivy League school. The Crimson converted 40 kills against the Friars on 78 attempts while only committing three errors. Caroline Walters hit a match-high .750 (6-0-8) while Kathleen Wallace hit .667 (12-0-18), the third-highest individual hitting percentage with a minimum of 10 attempts in the Ancient Eight this season. Caroline Holte (7-1-10) and Jennifer Shults (4-0-7) also got in on the action, hitting .600 and .571, respectively.
Harvard last hit .400 for a match on Sept. 27, 2008, when the squad combined for a .456 hitting percentage (35-4-68) in a 3-0 win over St. Francis (Pa.).
Senior co-captain Taylor Docter was named to both the Hokie Invitational and Harvard Invitational all-tournament teams. She was joined on the Harvard Invitational All-Tournament Team by freshman Kathleen Wallace and sophomore Caroline Walters, while Kristen Casey was named to the New England Challenge All-Tournament Team, marking the first all-tourney honor of each of their careers.
Captain of the Ship
Senior Taylor Docter was voted by her teammates as the 59th captain of Harvard women's volleyball. Docter was an All-Ivy League second team and Academic All-Ivy honoree in 2011 after ranking eighth in the conference in kills per set (3.05), seventh in aces (0.27) and seventh in points per set (3.52). The Los Altos, Calif., native also averaged 1.72 dps on the defensive side of the net and finished her year with career-highs in kills, attempts, hitting percentage and digs.
"Taylor has been an impact player since her freshmen season," Head Coach Jen Weiss commented. "She came in this preseason in great shape and ready to work hard. As a second team All-Ivy outside hitter, she led our team in points scored and kills per set. She has a natural ability to lead and her peers respect her on and off the court. Taylor's composure on court has been tremendous this year and I look forward to her leading the team."
Platinum Anniversary
Head coach Jen Weiss is in her 20th season at the helm of the Crimson. Weiss owns a 245-288 record on the sidelines and guided Harvard to its only Ivy League championship in 2004. She has mentored 46 All-Ivy honorees, five Ivy League Rookie of the Year recipients and coached the program's first two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in Kaego Ogbechie '05.
