Yesterday began with me picking up Thomas MacEntee at his hotel and taking the "scenic route" to Beatrice. My perceived "shortcut" through my home town hit a roadblock when I realized the street I had selected did NOT go directly through to the highway we needed to be on! Thank goodness for the GPS, although she made us go in a circle, but we arrived in Beatrice fairly close to our original ETA. And thank goodness that Thomas is a good sport.

Thomas MacEntee gave two excellent presentations: Social Networking: New Horizons for Genealogists and Google for Genealogists. Even though I've known Thomas for about a year and have attended many of his webinars and listened to his weekly Geneabloggers radio show, this was the first time I'd heard him speak in person.
Both sessions were excellent and I picked up several new tips that I intend to use.
Thomas is, of course, the force behind Geneabloggers, a member of the Genealogical Speaker's Guild, His business is High Definition Genealogy and one of his many blogs is Destination Austin Family. Thomas' sessions were very well received by the audience and it seemed like a lot of folks had a new insight for using social media for genealogy.
Gail Blankenau gave an outstanding session on Dating and Identifying Your 19th Century Photos. She took us on a trip through fashion history with great ideas on how to narrow down the time frame when photographs were probably taken. Her photo examples were great illustrations of what to look for in our own photographs.
Our luncheon entertainment was provided by Marla Matkin, who reenacted the stories of strong pioneer women. She is available for presentations via the Nebraska Humanities Council.
I was the final speaker of the conference and my session was about Blogging Your Family History: Sharing What You Know. I gave an overview of how blogging can be advantageous to furthering your family history research and making connections with "cousins" who are researching others lines of the family. The second half of my talk was about the technical aspects of creating and designing a blog.
If you heard my presentation and liked what I had to say or learned something new, please write a review and leave feedback for me on the SpeakerMix web site (link below). I would appreciate your comments!

Cadmium is a soft silver-white metal naturally occurring in air, water and earth. It is a by-product of the smelting of zinc, lead and copper, and it is used mainly in smelting, electronics, paint pigmentation and nuclear power. So what does that mean to you?
Well, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in a published research plan, has a goal to determine the effects of cadmium on the endocrine systems of wildlife and humans. You can visit the EPA Web site to see what they hope to learn.
Basically, cadmium in air and groundwater may play a role in the development of breast cancer, as it mimics estradiol in human breast cancer cells. In plain words, cadmium, a heavy metal in the environment, increases the risk of breast cancer by stimulating estrogen receptors and encouraging the growth of cancer cells.
Heavy metals like cadmium do not dissolve or break down but build up over time. It is released into the air when waste, either household or industrial, is burned. Car exhaust also releases it into the air. Cadmium then settles in the soil or water.
The skin does not absorb cadmium, but it can enter the body via contaminated air, food, water or when a person smokes tobacco. Smokers are at greater risk of inhaling it, and nonsmokers from ingesting it. Soft water also may allow minute amounts of cadmium to get into drinking water from metal water lines.
I have a particular interest in this information. I grew up in a mining town, not too far from the smelting process, and I spent my childhood around smokers. I am encouraged that this information is coming to light. I think it is important to keep these studies in perspective; however, once informed we become the watchdogs for these issues. Obviously, this is one issue we want the EPA to continue to explore.

A provision in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul that uses a new definition of "American Indian" could affect the health insurance coverage for thousands of Pennsylvanians who identify as Native American.
The new law mandates that every American must carry insurance or pay a tax penalty that will reach a minimum of $695 when fully phased in.
One of the few exceptions to that mandate is for those who document their membership in one of about 560 tribes recognized by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. The care and medical services of Native Americans are paid for as part of the government's treaty obligations to tribes dating back nearly a century.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Yet more than 100 tribes nationwide are recognized only by states and not the federal government.
The 2010 census found 6.2 million people nationwide who self-identify as American Indian or Alaska Native. But federal health officials do not yet know how many people the new definition might affect. Indian health advocacy groups estimate it could be up to 480,000.
Pennsylvania had an American Indian population of about 81,000 in 2010, less than 1 percent of the state's total population of 12.7 million.
By county, the Native American population in Pennsylvania is concentrated in the Philadelphia area. About 20 percent live in Philadelphia, with 13 percent combined in Montgomery, Delaware and Bucks counties.
About 8 percent of the state's Native American population lives in Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh.
Neither the National Conference of State Legislatures, nor the National Congress of American Indians, listed any tribes - whether federally recognized or not - with headquarters or other contact information in Pennsylvania.
The Associated Press left messages seeking comment with tribes headquartered and recognized in neighboring states: the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware, based in Dover; and the Nanticoke-Lenni Lenape Tribal Nation, based in Bridgeton, N.J.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Erin Shields said the agency is powerless to change the new guideline without an act of Congress.

Engineering (General)
Associate in Science Degree (AS)
Professor: Eric Wyles
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 916-558-2216
General Engineering is the path that some students might want to select if either their chosen career does not require a specific degree or they are undecided initially on which specific engineering field of study to pursue.
Associate in Science Degree Information
The Engineering Associate in Science degree is designed to meet lower division requirements for various majors in engineering. Completion of the Associate in Science degree should qualify the student to transfer at the upper division level to an engineering program at a four-year institution. The degree has a common engineering core requirement as well as specific field requirements. The specific field requirements do vary depending on the four-year institution to which the student will transfer. Thus, requirements for specific universities should be checked before selecting specific field courses.
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- solve problems by applying knowledge of mathematics through differential and integral calculus, differential equations and linear algebra.
- solve problems by applying knowledge of science including chemistry and physics.
- use technology to enhance their productivity.
- apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve basic engineering problems.
- demonstrate an understanding of the ethical and professional responsibilities of an engineer and how engineering solutions can impact society.
- communicate thoughts in both written and oral forms to team members and larger audiences.
- seek transfer at the junior level into an Engineering program at a four-year institution.
The Engineering, General Engineering Associate in Science (A.S.) degree may be obtained by completion of the required program, plus general education requirements, plus sufficient electives to meet a 60-unit total. See SCC graduation requirements.

Differences in generic pill characteristics may lead to interruptions in essential medication use
Generic medications currently account for over 70 percent of prescriptions dispensed. However, while generic drugs are clinically bioequivalent to the brand-name version, they often differ in their physical characteristics, such as color and shape. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have found that some patients who receive generic drugs that vary in their color are over 50 percent more likely to stop taking the drug, leading to potentially important and potentially adverse clinical effects.
The study will be published electronically on December 31, 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
"Pill appearance has long been suspected to be linked to medication adherence, yet this is the first empirical analysis that we know of that directly links pills' physical characteristics to patients' adherence behavior," explained Aaron S. Kesselheim MD, JD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at BWH, and principal investigator of this study. "We found that changes in pill color significantly increase the odds that patients will stop taking their drugs as prescribed."
The researchers conducted a case-control study of patients taking antiepileptic drugs and compared the odds that patients who did not refill their medication had been given pills that differed in color or shape from the prior prescriptions. Using a large national database of filled prescriptions, when the researchers identified a break in the patient's use of the drug, they looked at the previous two prescription fillings to see if they were the same color and shape. They found that interruptions in the prescription filling occurred significantly more frequently when the pills had different color. Interruptions in antiepileptic drug use for even a few days can raise the risk of seizure and have important medical and social consequences for patients.
These findings offer important take-home messages for physicians, pharmacists, and patients. As Kesselheim explained, "Patients should be aware that their pills may change color and shape, but that even differently-appearing generic drugs are approved by the FDA as being bioequivalent to their brand-name counterparts and are safe to take. Physicians should be aware that changes in pill appearance might explain their patients' non-adherence. Finally, pharmacists should make a point to tell patients about the change in color and shape when they change generic suppliers."
Researchers acknowledge that medication adherence is a multi-faceted issue, but suggest that taking steps to permit (or even require) similarity in pill appearance among bioequivalent brand name and generic drugs may offer a relatively simple way to contribute to better adherence.

The Crimson look to stay unbeaten in the Beanpot (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – As six-time reigning fencing Beanpot champion, the No. 3 Harvard women's fencing team travels to crosstown rival MIT, Wednesday, Feb. 12 looking to continue as the lone victor of the Beantown tournament and capture its seventh straight crown. Fencing is set to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Beanpot Breakdown
The Battle of Beantown on the fencing strip began in 2008. Every year since the inception, Harvard has swept the field to hold all six Beanpot titles.
Rank and File
In the initial CollegeFencing360 Coaches Poll, the Crimson women ranked second, the highest seeding of the squad in program history. Harvard has since fallen to the third seed in the Feb. 6 poll.
Related Link: NCAA Fencing Poll
Jarocki is Outstanding
For her undefeated 18-0 performance at the Ivy League round-robins, sabre fencer was named both Outstanding Performer and Outstanding Rookie Performer. The honors mark a first for the freshman and the Crimson program. The Middle Village, N.Y., native became the first fencer in Harvard history to be bestowed both honors and the first Crimson rookie to be named Outstanding Rookie Performer. Jarocki is the second Harvard fencer to be honored as Outstanding Performer as Caroline Vloka '12 garnered the award in 2011.
All-Ivy Accolades
Six Harvard fencers garnered All-Ancient Eight status with their performances at the Ivy League Round-Robins Feb. 8-9, the most since matching that number in 2007. Sabre fencers Adrienne Jarocki and Aliya Itzkowitz earned spots on the first team while Kara Lee, Alexandra Kiefer, Isabel DiTella and Emma Vaggo received second team nods.
Since Harvard women's fencing began in 1975 the Crimson has seen 51 opponents on the strip. Harvard has not dropped a match to 28 of its all-time competitors to hold unbeaten records against 54.9 percent of its all-time foes.
And the Award Goes To
Adrienne Jarocki earned National Rookie of the Week honors presented by CollegeFencing360 Jan. 30, marking the first weekly accolade for the freshman. Jarocki as an intricate part of Harvard's sabre squad that went 33-12 to pace the Crimson's 2-3 performance at the St. John's Invitational Jan. 26.

Face in the Crowd
Aliya Itzkowitz is one of Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd featured in the December 23 issue. The sophomore sabre fencer earned the honor that has been published in every week of the magazine since 1956, after helping the Crimson to its first 6-0 start under head coach Peter Brand since matching that record to begin the 2010-11 season.

North American Cups
Over the course of three months, 14 Harvard fencers took the strip at USA Fencing's North American Cups to compete against athletes from across the United States and Canada attempting to qualify for both the 2014 Senior and Junior World Championships. The Crimson notched three podium finishes. Jerry Chang and Nina van Loon grabbed gold in the Junior brackets in their respective weapons, while Adrienne Jarocki took home silver in the Division I women's sabre.

Trust in Brand
Peter Brand enters his 15th season at the helm of the Crimson. Under his guidance, Harvard captured its first NCAA team championship in 2006, won a combined four Intercollegiate Fencing Association three-weapon titles, two IFA six-weapon championships and a combined eight Ivy League titles – three by the women and five by the men. He also coached 37 All-Americans in his time behind the Harvard bench. Brand sports a 197-62 overall record on the women's side and a 54-32 mark against Ivy League foes.
About No. 3 Harvard
The Crimson's 11-4, 5-1 Ivy performance has been propelled by its sabre squad. Adrienne Jarocki and Aliya Itzkowitz lead the way for the sabre fencers with 46-4 and 42-4 records, respectively. Isabel DiTella and Nina van Loon pace Harvard's epeeist's while Alexandra Kiefer leads the way on the strip for the Crimson's foil fencers.
About Brandeis
The Judges enter the Beanpot at 20-7 after going 2-3 at the Duke Invitational Feb. 9. Brandeis is led by its foil squad that includes sophomore Caroline Mattos who has tallied the most victories for the Judges this season. Sophomore Sonya Glickman and freshman Ashley Jean pace the epee and sabre teams, respectively.
All-Time Versus the Judges
Brandeis was the inaugural opponent for Harvard fencing, who owns a 29-6 advantage in the all-time meetings. The Crimson, currently on a nine-match winning streak, has notched as many victories on three different occasions in the all-time series, but the Judges always puts a stop to Harvard's winning ways to keep the Crimson's win-streak below double digits. Sunday the Crimson will attempt to be the first squad in program history to defeat Brandeis in 10-straight meetings.
About Boston College
The Eagles ride a six-match win streak into the Beanpot. The streak includes Boston College's sweep of the five opponent field at the Eric Sollee Invitational, Feb. 1. The Eagles' epeeists have been the difference on the strip with freshman Renee Bichette and sophomore Olivia Adragna making an impact. In the sabre, sophomore Marnie Krupat leads the way. Foil fencer sophomore Linda Zhang has contributed solid performances this season.
All-Time Versus the Eagles
Harvard has clashed with its cross town rival Boston College 15 times since 1993 and has not dropped a single match against the Eagles.
About MIT
The Engineers bring a 9-19 record into the Beanpot after a 0-5 performance at the Duke Invitational Feb. 9. Underclassmen pace each of MIT's weapons. The sabre squad is led by freshman Cordelia Avery and sophomore Madison Douglas. Sophomores Laura Jarin-Lipschitz and Mounica Paturu pace the Enigneer's epeeist while classmate Cecilia Cisar and rookie Jessica Li have dominated in the foil.
All-Time Versus the Engineers
Harvard will MIT for the 40th time on the strip. The Crimson has downed the Engineers in seven-consecutive matches to hold a 27-12 lead in the one of Harvard's oldest series.
Coming Up
Harvard returns to action Sunday, March 9, at the NCAA Regionals hosted by Wellesley College. The Crimson will look to earn bids to the NCAA Championships later in the month, March 19-23 at Ohio State.

It all started for Jim when he was all of five years old and his father took him hunting with a Red Ryder BB gun. As he grew so did his passion for the outdoors, so if he wasn't hunting you would find him tagging along with his Grandfather to a favorite fishing hole. As the years progressed he would share that same passion with his children. Jim's idea of a romantic date was taking his wife, on their wedding anniversary, to a trophy ranch where she would go sit with him in the hunting blind. It didn't seem to matter where his career took him he always seemed to be drawn to where he was the most comfortable, outdoors. His adventures have taken him to fishing Bass tournaments, harvesting 19 of the 29 North American Big Game animals and teaching others how to read a stream when fly fishing. When he is not visiting Alaska, just one more time, you will find him sharing his passion with others on the radio .... hoping they will be drawn into the world that he dearly loves.
Trav is a small town kid driven by hunting, fishing, rock/honky-tonk music, a good cold beer and his wife and kids. Being raised in a rural area surrounded by wildlife and lacking the luxurious amenities of big city life might be challenging to some; however, to Trav, it was an utter blessing. From his inception on, Trav has spent his life outdoors, he was taught at a very young age to hunt and fish and over the years these skills have molded him into a self-sufficient outdoorsman that strives to live a sustainable and God fearing lifestyle. When Trav isn't behind the mic he's either in the woods or on the water sharing his passion and love for the outdoors with his family and friends. So, don't bother searching for him on Facebook or Twitter and you couldn't pay him to own an iPhone, but let me reassure you of this: If there's hunting and fishing, cold beer on tap and shaving isn't required, he's certainly not too far. What you see is what you get with Trav and to sum him up is simple, he doesn't ask for a lot and he'll never need much, a rifle, a bow, the love of his good looking wife and to be all that his children will ever need!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located near you?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

If we just update the first sub, it has the list of names.
May I propose we create a Region for this ... region? I can create it and assign it to Dozus. We can then add submissions to the region and create a summary page where we can take this out of the forum partly.Forum is still good to hash it over though.Then, we can create submissions for each of our countries - set as Stubs if they are unfinished or too raw for mainstream.

Now through May 15, 2012, consumers can take part in Okuma Fishing Tackles Free Pro Jersey and Reel Cash Rebate offers, delivering up to a $69.99 value with purchase of select Okuma low-profile baitcast reels. The Okuma Pro Jersey offer includes a free custom, die-sublimated Okuma tournament jersey by mail with purchase of either the all-new Komodo or Serrano low-profile baitcast reels. The Okuma Reel Cash Rebate offers $30, $30, $20 and $10 by mail with purchase of all-new Cedros saltwater, 6.3oz. Helios, Citrix and all-new Krios low-profile reels, respectively.
Rebate forms are available at retailers, or can be downloaded for printing here: Download Rebate Forms
2012 promotions include four all-new entries into the Okuma tournament low-profile product line. At the top end are all-new Cedros, Helios and Komodo baitcast reels, all of which feature high-strength drive systems (heavy duty Dura-brass brass in Cedros, tournament aluminum in Helios and Komodo), full Carbonite drag systems, ABEC-5 spool bearings and durable, over-sized EVA foam handles amongst a long list of elite level construction features.
Cedros low-profiles are dedicated saltwater baitcasting reels. Featuring Okuma's proprietary T480 aluminum frame construction, the base alloy withstands 480 hours of alternating saturated saltwater and air, a period that deeply corrodes traditional aluminum alloys. Heavy duty Dura-brass gearing provides incredible strength in Cedros' powerful 8.4-ounce build. A Carbonite drag system provides the stopping power, while a 7 stainless steel bearing system is effortless over the long-term. On the exterior, a titanium deposition coating fully protects the aluminum side plates for unbeatable durability in harsh environments.
The Helios, Okuma's lightest baitcast reel ever, tips the scales at just 6.3-ounces while maintaining a handle-side aluminum side plate for long-term durability and alignment of internal components. Komodo, weighing in at just 6.5-ounces features an 11-bearing system, choice of high-speed 7.3:1 or powerful 5.4:1 gearing, right and left side aluminum side plates and availability of right-and left-hand retrieve in the high-speed model.
The Krios low-profile baitcast reel will radically redefine performance levels at the $100 price point. Featuring an aluminum frame, 6-bearing drive system, dual cast control systems and high-speed 7.3:1 gearing, Krios is as easy to own as it is to fish, and even easier with a $10 rebate!
Introduced in 2010 and 2011 respectively, Serrano and Citrix baitcast reels continue to prove themselves every day as exceptional performers in the category. Serrano for its exceptional ergonomics, versatile 6.4:1 gear ratio, Carbonite drag and absolutely fluid casting performance, and Citrix for bridging the gap between affordability and tour-level features like 7.3:1 gear ratio, 8-bearing drive system and aluminum framing for right- and left-handers alike.
Reel Cash Rebates and Pro Jersey offers end May 15th 2012.

The e-mail attachment reveals a face disfigured from eight bullet wounds. The message, sent from Iraq, could have been pared down to a single word: Help.
Kirk Johnson carefully files it with hundreds of others from Iraqis who are in peril because they worked for the United States or its allies.
It is the personal pull of such messages that drives Mr. Johnson and his List Project. For a year, he has doggedly worked to help Iraqis enter the US. To date, 20 have arrived. Yet more than 800 people remain on his growing list. "I will have people die on my list before the next president is elected," he says.
Saving lives is not how Johnson had planned to make a difference. He went to Iraq in January 2005 to work on reconstruction projects for the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
He traded the relative safety of Baghdad's Green Zone for the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah and spent eight months intensely focused on making change. His first project was almost ready to start when he left for vacation in December 2005.
But while away, he suffered a serious injury. His job contract in Iraq expired while he recovered, setting him adrift. Then in the winter of 2006 a former Iraqi colleague, Yaghdan, e-mailed him. Someone had left a severed dog's head with a death threat on his doorstep. Johnson sought help and discovered the US government had no system to bring its Iraqi employees to safety. Outraged, he penned a commentary in the Los Angeles Times. E-mails poured in.
"I hadn't realized how many people had suffered Yaghdan's situation or worse," Johnson says. So he searched for his other Iraqi colleagues and found that 50, roughly half, had fled Iraq or were in hiding.
The State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration promised to give them priority. That was in February 2007. But time passed, and none seemed any closer to coming to safety. "The bureaucracy is just incapable of saving these people," Johnson says.
He pulls up a picture on his computer, a group shot of USAID workers he took in Baghdad in 2005. His finger touches the faces of those now dead or forced to flee.
The imminent danger facing the people on his list drives Johnson through long days juggling phone calls to two law firms helping to handle the cases pro bono. He also talks with key agencies in the refugee-processing system and to groups that might have still more names. He sifts through the e-mails that keep pouring in with pleas for help. Ties to the US or its allies can still be a death sentence in Iraq.
When Johnson started, he dedicated every penny he had to saving lives, relying on friends for housing. "There was a point when I'd buy a box of Triscuits and see how many meals I could get out of it," he says.
Today, one of the law firms lets him use an extra apartment. He funds the Project, including hiring three Iraqi staffers, from money donated by a philanthropic couple and the California-based Tides Foundation – enough for seven more months.
Johnson, his co-workers, and the lawyers help the people on the list assemble their documents. Then they shepherd them through the process that, for fortunate ones, takes a year. It often takes much longer.
The Byzantine process requires Iraqis to travel to neighboring countries several times for interviews and background checks – costly and dangerous journeys. Countries often turn Iraqis away at the border. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act, passed as part of the Defense Authorization Bill for 2008, will allow select Iraqis to be processed in Iraq.
Johnson is from West Chicago: "Bush Country," he calls it. His parents twice voted for the president and support the war. But Johnson's efforts have shifted from trying to massage the bureaucracy to mustering public pressure on President Bush to address America's imperiled Iraqi employees.
"He's the only one that can save them quickly," says Johnson. He rattles off statistics of refugees evacuated on presidential orders – including Iraqis in 1996.
"The most difficult part is the fact that this list has become a source of such hope for these Iraqis," Johnson says, given their slim chances of making it to safety.
According to the State Department, just 1,068 Iraqis entered the US out of 7,000 allotted slots in fiscal year 2007. That's out of 4.4 million the UN High Commissioner for Refugees says have been internally displaced or fled.
Kelly Ryan, deputy assistant secretary of state for population, refugees, and migration, says they welcome Johnson's effort, particularly before the government had a way for Iraqis to contact them. Now, she says, they want Iraqis to contact the State Department directly through a new e-mail.
"What's so maddening about this issue is everyone agrees with you," Johnson says. "They've had security checks, marines vouching for them, yet we've been talking about this for a year and a half."
Those waiting include one man who "wrote to me last week and signed off saying, 'The destinies of my children are in your hands,' and he attached a picture of his kids," he says.
Another family on the list had a daughter killed in 2005 because she worked for USAID. Her sister escaped after a death threat. Their brother owned a printing press and, under a US-funded contract, printed materials for Iraq's elections. He too received a death threat, as did his wife, who worked for a US reconstruction company. His father worked for US contractor KBR and was kidnapped but escaped.
But there are a few bright spots. The three Iraqis working with Johnson here are former USAID colleagues who had been threatened. Also, Yaghdan, the colleague Johnson wrote about in the Los Angeles Times, has arrived here.
Johnson's is a "popsicle stand" operation, as he calls it. But demand is ballooning – one week he received 1,200 e-mails.
"He's got literally 1,000 people's lives on his mind. It's a tremendous amount of courage," says Paul Rieckhoff, founder of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, whose group passes names along to Johnson.
But Johnson is uncomfortable with praise.
"I still at the end of the day go to sleep with the mountain of people who haven't gotten here," he says. "In the end, there are so many people left living in misery and fear … I don't feel like I've saved anybody."

Harvard will play its final regular season weekend series against St. Lawrence and Clarkson (Gil Talbot).
Complete Game Notes
Highlights: Harvard vs. Colgate
Highlights: Harvard vs. Cornell
Vote For Danny Biega for Senior CLASS Award
This Weekend
In its final road trip of the 2012-13 regular season, the Harvard men's hockey team looks to climb the ECAC standings with games against North Country foes St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
Harvard vs. St. Lawrence Series History
The Crimson and Saints have met 99 times with Harvard holding a 53-40-6 lead in the all-time series. 1954 was the inaugural year of the Harvard-St. Lawrence series and the Crimson won the initial two matchups, the first being a 3-2 overtime victory at Boston Arena. Harvard has claimed wins in three of the last five meetings, scoring four goals in each of the victories. The Saints won their first game at Bright Hockey Center since 2009 earlier this season.
Jan. 26, 2013 at Bright Hockey Center
In just its second home game of the 2013 portion of the schedule, the Saints took a 2-0 lead with a pair of markers before the halfway point of the opening stanza. Jimmy Vesey was at it again, logging a power-play tally at 14:42 of the period to cut the Harvard deficit to one after the first frame. 11 seconds into the second, Vesey struck again, tying the game at 2-2. A Saints power-play strike gave them the lead once again, but Alex Fallstrom's marker at 13:29 of the second leveled the score at 3-3 after two full periods. A scoreless third forced Harvard's fourth overtime game of the season and George Hughes fired true with 1:23 showing on the clock to give the Saints a 4-3 win.
Scouting The Saints
St. Lawrence started the year on fire, rattling off five wins in its first six games to climb into the national rankings. However, from the middle of November to the start of the New Year, the Saints endured a trying stretch where they earned just two wins in 12 games. After splitting a two-game series with RIT, the Saints got back to ECAC play with renewed vigor, and enter the Harvard matchup as one of the hottest teams in the conference. Winners of six of their last eight contests, the Saints have vaulted themselves into a tie for third in the ECAC standings.
Junior forward Greg Carey continues to be the story of the year for the Saints, emerging as a legitimate Hobey Baker contender with a 1.50 points-per-game average that ranks No. 1 in the nation. He also leads the country in total points (23-22-45) and is the only player in the country with more than 20 goals on the season. Senior Kyle Flanagan is close behind with 40 total points on the year, and his 27 assists is the highest total on the team. George Hughes, a senior defenseman, leads all blueliners with 4-24-28 points.
Almost 98% of the playing time in goal has gone to junior Matt Weninger, as he has started all 30 games for the Saints this season. He holds a .916 save percentage and 2.69 goals-against average on the year.
Harvard vs. Clarkson Series History
After 112 meetings between Harvard and Clarkson, the teams have nearly identical records in the all-time series, with the Knights holding a slim 51-50-11 edge. The teams first played in 1935; a three-game series leading up to the New Year that resulted in the teams splitting the first two and tying the rubber match. Recent history has favored the Crimson, with Harvard collecting five victories in the last six meetings. The Crimson has won its last three games played at Cheel Arena.
Jan. 25, 2013 at Bright Hockey Center
After a seven-game road swing, the Crimson returned home for its first ECAC home weekend of 2013. Jimmy Vesey got things off on the right foot against Clarkson, scoring a goal just 2:34 into the game and giving Harvard a 1-0 lead at the first break. The lead held until late in the second when Clarkson netted a pair of scores just nine seconds apart to swing the lead to the Golden Knights after two periods. Clarkson's Joe Zarbo completed his hat trick in the third as the guests poured in three more in a 5-1 final.
Scouting The Golden Knights
Clarkson finds itself right in the thick of a hotly contest race for home ice in the first round of the ECAC Tournament and still has a chance to clinch a first round bye with four league games to go. Clarkson has had a tough go of it in non-conference action with just one win in 12 contests, but a 7-8-3 ECAC record has kept the Golden Knights in contention. Clarkson topped Princeton, 3-2, and fell to No. 1 Quinnipiac, 2-1, last weekend, and will host Harvard travel partner Dartmouth Friday before facing the Crimson Saturday.
Two junior forwards, Allan McPherson and Jarrett Burton, sit atop the team points chart, with McPherson holding the team lead with 9-14-23 on the season. Burton is next with 8-9-17 points, and sophomore Joe Zarbo has a team-high 12 goals this year. Freshman Paul Geiger is the top-scoring defenseman on the squad with 2-9-11 points in his rookie campaign.
Freshman Greg Lewis has earned the bulk of the playing time in goal for Clarkson, starting 27 of 30 games this season. He holds a .903 save percentage and 2.85 goals-against average heading into the weekend.
Last Time Out
Riding the momentum from a 7-4 upset of No. 11/13 Boston University in the Beanpot consolation game, Harvard earned three league points last weekend with a 4-1 win over Colgate and a 2-2 tie against Cornell.
After neither team scored in the first, Alex Fallstrom needed just 43 seconds to get the Crimson on the board in the second. A power-play goal from Mike Borkowski at 5:40 leveled the score at one, but Marshall Everson struck twice in the final nine minutes of the frame to give the hosts a 3-1 edge. Kyle Criscuolo earned primary assists on both of Everson's scores, while Brian Hart had secondary assists on both goals. Dan Ford banked home an empty-net tally with 30 seconds to play to cap the 4-1 final.
A night later, Cornell jumped out to a 1-0 lead but Fallstrom's power-play marker with 26 seconds to play in the first evened the score at 1-1 after one. Everson struck for the sixth time in four games to give Harvard a 2-1 lead, but Nick D'Agostino tied the score at 2-2 just over eight minutes later, and the score stayed tied through the overtime period.
Marshall Everson became the first Harvard player to earn ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors for the 2012-13 season. The week of Feb. 10-16 saw the senior tally six goals in four games, including back-to-back two-goal games against Boston University and Colgate. His four-game goals streak is the longest on the team this season, and his four-game point streak is one short of his career high.
"C"LASSy Finalist
Senior Danny Biega, the 120th captain of the Harvard men's hockey team, was named a finalist for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. He is Harvard hockey's second-ever candidate for the award, and first since Brian McCafferty '09 was a candidate in 2009. Biega is one of 10 finalists and the award winner will be selected during the NCAA Frozen Four April 11-13 in Pittsburgh, Pa. He is the only Senior CLASS Award finalist from ECAC Hockey.
Biega is coming off his most prolific year in Cambridge. In 2011-12, Biega received CCM Hockey first team All-America honors, was a runner-up for ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and was the named the league's Best Defensive Defenseman. He was named to the ECAC Hockey Championship All-Tournament team and All-Ivy League first team and ranked second in the nation in points per game among defensemen (1.03).
Kyle Style
Freshman Kyle Criscuolo missed 10 games due to an injury, but has logged five assists in six games since his return. Four of those five assists have been primary helpers on goals scored by Marshall Everson. Criscuolo enters the St. Lawrence/Clarkson weekend riding a three-game point streak.
Fallstrom File
Alex Fallstrom brings a four-game point streak into the Clarkson/St. Lawrence weekend. He has four points (2-2-4) in that span and is one game short of tying his career-high point streak.
Assist Men
Brian Hart and Colin Blackwell have been busy handing out helpers recently. Hart has four assists in the last three games, and Blackwell has three in the last four contests. Hart has logged a point in seven of his last 13 games, and has 11 total points (2 goals, 9 assists) over that span.
Killer Start
Former Harvard great Alex Killorn '12 was recalled to the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Syracuse Crunch last Sunday and registered his first NHL point on an assist in a 5-1 loss to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Three games later, Killorn logged his first NHL goal, putting the Lightning up, 2-1, in the first period of an eventual 6-5 overtime win over the Florida Panthers. Killorn skated in 44 games with the Crunch this season, recording 16 goals and 38 points to go along with 32 penalty minutes. He ranked third in the AHL for rookie scoring with 38 points. Killorn ranked tied for second on the Crunch in assists with 22 and was tied for the team lead with seven power play goals. He ranked first on the Crunch and third in the AHL with 166 shots on goal this season.
Valid Points
With a win over Colgate and a tie against Cornell last weekend, the Crimson recorded its first three-point ECAC weekend of the season.
Cool Hand Luke
In his 114th game in a Harvard uniform, senior Luke Greiner (Faribault, Minn.) netted his first collegiate hat trick against BU in the Beanpot consolation game. Greiner's previous career high for goals in a game was one, accomplished 16 times in his tenure with the Crimson.
Prior to Greiner's showing, Harvard's most recent hat trick came courtesy of David Valek, who collected three goals in an 8-2 win over Yale March 11, 2012 in the ECAC quarterfinals.
Multiple For Marshall
Marshall Everson teamed with Luke Greiner against BU to give Harvard two, two-goal scorers in a single game for the first time this season. The last time Harvard accomplished the feat was in the 6-1 win over Cornell in the 2012 ECAC tournament semifinal. In that game, Everson and Alex Killorn had two goals each.

As for the S6 torsos, just read the general info thread. As long as your figures fit in with your region and aren't using another faction's "reserved" crests, you can make your character however you like.

Gas meters measure the amount of gas used by continually filling and emptying compartments inside the meter with natural gas, which moves the dials on the face of the meter, or the index. Your monthly gas bill is calculated in part by comparing a monthly reading obtained from your meter with the last recorded reading on file. The difference between the two readings indicates the total amount of gas used during that period.
Although your meter dials may not look exactly like those in the diagram below, these instructions can be used to read most residential meters, regardless of meter style or manufacturer.
Read the meter dials left to right. If a hand is between two numbers, always read the smaller number except when the hand is between zero and nine, in which case you read the number nine. In the illustration above, dial 1 reads "6", dial 2 reads "1", dial 3 reads "8", and dial 4 reads "7". The correct reading for this meter is "6187".

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – UMBC freshman Emily Escobedo (New Rochelle, N.Y./Maria Regina) and senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) each set new ECAC records, broke UMBC records, and lowered NCAA "B" cut times as the Retrievers wrapped up competition at the 2014 ECAC Championships, Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Naval Academy's Lejeuene Hall.
Looking to become the first pair of Retriever athletes to reach the NCAA Championship meet in the same year, Escobedo and Hussein put in stirring performances on Sunday. After a record-breaking weekend, Hussein was named the ECAC Most Outstanding Male Swimmer of the Year.
In the morning prelims of the 200 breaststroke, Escobedo turned in a career-best swim, shaving almost a second from her school-record of 2:12.11 from the America East Championships by touching the wall ahead of the pack at 2:11.23. She then returned to the Navy pool during the evening finals and bested the field with an improved time of 2:10.05, to set both meet and pool records, in addition to a program record.
Escobedo is attempting to become the third Retriever female competitor, and fourth overall, to reach the national meet. The last UMBC woman to swim at the NCAA Championships was Lindsey Prather, the previous school record holder in the 200 breast (2:15.84), in 2002. Prior to that, Jacque Wisnauskas (1990) was the only other UMBC athlete to advance to nationals.
Hussein is attempting to become the first Retriever athlete to make two NCAA meets and he improved his chances at Navy. After leading the field in the morning in the 200 back (1:47.56), the senior raced past his previous school-best (1:44.35), as well as his own conference mark (1:45.23), to touch the wall at 1:43.90.
The swim completes Hussein's record-breaking weekend which included new school records in the 200 IM (1:44.14) and 100 fly (47.79). Both of those times are NCAA "B" cuts, which means that if he makes the cut, he can swim all three events in Austin, Texas.
In addition to Escobedo and Hussein, freshman Gregor Sporlein (Bamberg, Germany/Clavius-Gymnasium) captured his second gold medal of the weekend by winning the 100-yd. freestyle. Having already claimed the top spot in the 50 free (20.41) on Friday, Sporlein outdid the field again on Sunday with career-best time of 44.40, which ranks second in program history.
Swimming in his final collegiate meet, senior Brian Keane (Hanson, Mass./Boston College HS/Arizona) recorded another career-best at Navy. Keane set a career-best of 1:40.48 in the prelims of the 200 free on Saturday and then set a new best twice in the 100 on Sunday. During the morning session, he clocked in at 47.10, and then he reached a new level in the afternoon with a time of 46.98.
Freshman Amanda Day (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood) also set two personal-best by swimming a 2:07.59 in the prelims of the 200 fly and then clocking in at 2:07.16 in the afternoon.
In the men's event, junior Mark Tracy (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford) turned in a season-best performance as well. After touching at 1:52.61in the morning, Tracy dropped over a second to finish at 1:51.12 in the finals.
The 2014 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships will be held from March 20-22 in Minneapolis, Minn., while the men's championship meet will run from March 27-29 in Austin, Texas.
