Performed literature: words and music by Bob Dylan
Indiana University Press, 1982 - Biography & Autobiography - 239 pages
Bob Dylan is not a poet. He is a singer-songwriter, a performing artist. The unit of his art, as collected and documented by his intended audience, is the live performance. Right now, no existing technological tool can give researchers ready access to his entire corpus of work. Revised from the author's Ph.D. dissertation (UC Berkeley, 1978) and again from its first edition (Indiana UP, 1982), Performed Literature develops a methodology for close analysis of verbal art that is heard, not seen, using as comparative examples 24 performances of 11 songs by Bob Dylan. The second edition adds a preface, two major appendices and one minor one, and a detailed index.

Police will patrol parks, beaches and pubs in Melbourne's south for one of the biggest tradie party days and nights of the year.
Police say many of the 25,000 manufacturing workers in the City of Kingston will be out to lunch or at Christmas parties on Friday as many factories close for the traditional break between Christmas and New Year.
The City of Kingston includes the suburbs of Mentone, Mordialloc and Dingley and has one of the highest numbers of manufacturing workers of any Victorian municipality.
Mentone Hotel functions manager Shae Ffrench said this was the biggest time of the year for party bookings. The hotel had one tradie Christmas lunch booked on Friday, but hosted three the day before.
"Tradie groups can get a bit rowdy in their celebrations, but we have talked to our security about managing that," Ms Ffrench said.
She said there had been Christmas parties all week and about 20 per cent were trade companies. Others included energy companies, office workers, hospital staff and a doctors' group.
Inspector Martin Phillips, of Kingston Police, said in the past anti-social behaviour and street offences had been a problem.
He said police had worked with local employers in the past three years to promote safer behaviour at parties such as providing food and encouraging responsible alcohol consumption as part of Operation Tradestamp.
"We have had a steady decrease in anti-social and street offences over the years," Inspector Phillips said.
Inspector Phillips said Operation Tradestamp also reminded employers they were responsible for their workers' behaviour, even if the party was off-site.
He said fights between co-workers were common at work functions. He said the blitz would include random breath testing.
"We will also have a number of officers focused on road safety so if you are driving through then you can expect to be breath-tested," Inspector Phillips said.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
Ive always said try to place enough gear to not hit the ground or a ledge if your last piece fails. Not always possible. I also explain why I run it out on easier terrain.
Quote from: DMan on June 29, 2012, 10:09:16 AMIve always said try to place enough gear to not hit the ground or a ledge if your last piece fails. Not always possible. I also explain why I run it out on easier terrain....I am not going to say that it is a good think to humiliate a women who take a hike to be in good shape and was trap like a mouse because the wind was in her back as she go and in her face when she come back. She made a mistake and many people will be more carefull about that problem because we learn from her mistake. I was in the same situation of her as I slept in the wood in mt washington between a ridge with 80 to 100 miles per hour wind and the alpine garden without any protection.
Just once I would love to see a post from Champ that goes something like "went climbing today with some great freinds, the weather was beautiful, and we really had a great time just enjoying being climbers".
I did not humilate her, I simply stated the truth that had she had a map & compass she could have walked the 2 hours back to the car vrs. spend the night stomping circles in the snow to stay warm. Heading into white-out conditions without a map & compass and the skills to learn them is irresponsible and dangerous, no way you can tell me differently.
good time is hard to share.
Perhaps this is an issue you want to work on. I have a a very good or even great time almost every time I go climbing.
Climb more, type less!

About May 2007 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
These estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in all industry sectors in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas in every State and the District of Columbia.
Percentile wage estimates show the percentage of workers in an occupation that earn less than a given wage and the percentage that earn more. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate—50 percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more than the median. More about percentile wages.
(1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers.
(2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.
(3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.

A guide to the best and worst of the NFL slate (and to which fans are stuck with the most of the worst). Maps via 506sports.com.
We're 12 weeks into the season, when otherwise mediocre games turn into slightly better than mediocre games thanks to the magic of playoff relevance. The Jets, one of eight AFC teams that stand at 5-5 or 4-6, would make the playoffs if the season ended today, and six of these teams play each other this week. While I didn't bump any of the games up to "Must See," consider this an admission that, yes, they do sort of matter. Here are your Week 12 NFL viewing maps:
Jacksonville at Houston: Everyone knew the Jaguars were going to be bad, but if the Texans lose to the Jaguars—or even play a contested game with the Jaguars, honestly—they should claim sole possession of the "most surprisingly terrible NFL team" crown, currently shared with the Falcons.
Tennessee at Oakland: Matt McGloin played well in his first start, but he was facing a Texans defense that Football Outsiders ranks 25th in the league against the pass. Tennessee (14th) will be a tougher test, but the Titans' playoff hopes are in rough shape at this point. They stand at 4-6 with games remaining against the Broncos and Colts.
NY Jets at Baltimore: In their last five games, New York beat the Patriots and Saints by a combined score of 56-47, and lost to the Steelers, Bengals, and Bills by a combined score of 105-29. The unpredictable Jets would still be playoff bound if the season ended today, but they have a lot of teams to hold off, and a rookie QB who now has 11 touchdowns (three rushing) against 20 turnovers on the season.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland: The Bengals get their bye this week, so one of these 4-6 teams will gain ground on the AFC North leader. The Browns have teased all season, but their total of 192 points scored is third worst in the AFC, behind only the Jets (183) and the Jaguars (129).
Must-See TV
San Diego at Kansas City: The Chargers—whose defense Football Outsiders now ranks last (behind Jacksonville!)—are 4-6 and play three of their last six against the Chiefs and Broncos. Two, maybe three, of those have to be wins for their playoff hopes to stay alive. San Diego's frustrating offense (fifth in yards per play, 17th in points per game) will have to shoulder the load against Kansas City this week.
Indianapolis at Arizona: Buried a bit by the Chiefs' 9-1 start is that fact that Arizona—which lost 11 of its last 12 last year—stands at 6-4. Of course four of those wins came against the Jaguars, Falcons, Texans, and Buccaneers, but the Cardinals will get plenty of chances to make a statement in their closing six, starting with Indianapolis.
Fox: Early
Minnesota at Green Bay: The Rodgers-less Packers are fading fast—three straight losses have dropped them to 5-5, and they haven't held a lead at any point in the last nine quarters.
Carolina at Miami: The Dolphins haven't scored 25 points since Week 3, and the Panthers haven't allowed 25 points since ... last season. If Cam Newton can get anything going against Miami's mediocre defense, this should be a milk run for Carolina, and a nice respite after two nail-biters against the 49ers and Patriots.
Chicago at St. Louis: Another start for Josh McCown, whose 22.6 percent DVOA ranks sixth in the NFL among quarterbacks who've attempted at least 15 passes, behind Nick Foles, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Philip Rivers.
Must-See TV
Tampa Bay at Detroit: In blowing a lead to the Steelers, the Lions have now played in five consecutive games with contested, meaningful fourth quarters. I continue to ride them as the NFL's most watchable team—this week they face a Tampa Bay squad that's won two straight, and has scored an average of 29 points per game over its last three.
Fox: Late
Must-See TV
Dallas at NY Giants: Through five games apiece, the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants were a combined 4-11; since then they've gone 11-5. The NFC East is still far from good, but it's shaping up to have as exciting a finish as it had in 2012, when Washington won its last seven to leapfrog New York and Dallas and clinch a playoff spot on the last game of the year.
Who's Getting Screwed?
This week's winner is Tyler, Texas, which gets a good game in Cowboys-Giants and an OK game in Panthers-Dolphins, but also gets stuck with Jaguars-Texans, which is hands down the worst, most meaningless match-up of the week. Tyler, which is an hour and a half east of Dallas but just close enough to Shreveport to get stuck with that market, is in diehard Cowboys country, and I assume couldn't give less than half a shit about the terrible Texans. Abilene, on the other side of Dallas, also gets Jaguars-Texans, but Case Keenum grew up there so they probably give more than half a shit.

Four Areas for $132.00
With Free Regular Deodorizer!
Covers four areas up to 600 square feet
Wall-to-wall, regular fabric carpets only.
expires 01/31/2020
Regular Carpet Cleaning Improves Air Quality
Your carpeting as a very important job. It serves as a giant air filter. Carpets trap airborne particles and hold them there making indoor air cleaner. However a filter can only hold so much before it stops working. In fact, walking across a dirty carpet actually releases some of the trapped particles resulting in airborne particles. Yuck! That is why it is important to vacuum carpets regularly and ideally call a professional Wickford carpet extraction contractor every 6 months.
Carpet Cleaning Extends The Life of Your Flooring Investment
Would you rub sandpaper on your carpet? Of course not. But once sand and dirt are in a carpet, simply walking on the carpet can damage the fibers the same way that sandpaper would. The result is frayed fibers and a prematurely worn carpet. Protect your investment through frequent vacuuming and semi-annual deep carpet cleanings in Wickford.
Call the Wickford Carpet Cleaning Professionals
Yes, you can run to your local DIY center and rent a steam cleaner in Wickford, then buy some basic carpet cleaning solutions and do the job yourself. However, those portable rentals just don't have the same power to fully agitate your carpets and extract excess water. The result: super wet carpets that stay damp for days and possibly begin to smell. And worse, they may not be much cleaner. Doing it yourself may save you some money, but it won't get the job done, and you may end up having to call a professional after the fact anyway. When you call (401) 400-5444 for carpet cleaning, you'll be dealing with a cleaning professional who will strive to complete each job properly, on time, and within your budget.
Embedded in your carpet are minute pieces of dirt, hair, dead skin, dust, mites, bacteria and more. There are many ways to clean your Wickford carpet, but Roman Carpet Cleaning utilizes the most effective processes and products to get the job done right. When it comes to fast, thorough carpet cleaning in Wickford RI, no one beats Roman Carpet Cleaning's carpet cleaning service. Our cleaners have been cleaning carpets in and around Wickford since 1991.

Gloria in East Greenwich, RI2019-10-28
★★★★★ - "I was recently scheduled to have a "major store chain" come to clean my carpets before I moved into my new home. The morning of there was two inches of snow and low and behold the "chain" canceled on me. I was not in a position to take a day off prior to the move so I phoned Roman's to see if they could fit me in. The tech Luis and the young lady assisting him were very personable. The rate I was quoted was in line (maybe even slightly cheaper) with what I was quoted by the "chain" and I was thoroughly pleased with how clean the carpets were especially the carpet in the basement; bedroom carpets were fairly new but basement was filthy especially near the walkout area, plus I vacuumed this room three times prior to them coming and was picking up significant dirt.
Thank you Roman Carpet; will call on you in the future!"

★★★★★ - "What a great job!
Our washing machine died a horrible death on 2000 dollars worth of brand new wall to wall Berber. It didn't just lose water, as you might think, but rather blew the seal for the motor... leaving or carpet looking like someone had changed their engine oil on it. When we called I fully expected that they would be unable to clean the mess and that I was in for a homeowner's insurance claim. Buuuuut...
Luis and Erica arrived on time from Roman and in 45 minutes they had the area looking like new! Neat, clean and professional. I heartily recommend Roman Carpet and Upholstery."
Local P., Carpet Stain Removal in Coventry, RI2018-07-25
★★★★★ - "I called Roman Carpet Cleaning to clean our vintage velvet sofa. While they were here, I asked them to also clean a wool area rug and steam clean the tile floor in the kitchen. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Chris and Luis were very friendly and professional. They did a great job on all three items and I will definitely have them back again. In addition, they were actually a little early for their appointment but called to make sure it was ok for them to arrive. (It was.) What a pleasure having folks who come when they say they will. All in all, a great experience. The sofa, floor, and rug look great."

A. R. Roberts, Secretary THE ACADEMY OF ACCOUNTING HISTORIANS
During the period October 8-12, 1970, representatives of nearly twenty national accounting groups met in Brussels for the First International Congress of Accounting Historians. The result of this meeting was the formation of the Comite International Des His-torians de la Comptobilite. Mr. Ernest Stevelinck was appointed the general secretary and a temporary headquarters was established at the College National des Experts Comptables de Belgigue (CNECB), Rue Du Congres, 49, Brussels, 1000.
This organization was to serve as a coordinating body and to:
1. inform members of relevant items in professional and scientific journals.
2. make efforts to have the study of accounting history and thought included in academic programs, up to and including the development of a theoretical plan and contemporary techniques.
3. publish a newsletter.
4. maintain contact with national and international scientific groups.
5. organize a second congress.
Mr. Stevelinck has been informed of the establishment of The Academy and has been told of our desire to participate in any future activities. We have also submitted, for consideration by the International Committee, the proposal that the second congress be held in North America.
The minutes of the first congress, a list of groups participating (to include delegates if known), and the list of articles on accounting history in British, Belgian, French, Italian, Scandinavian and German journals included therein can be obtained by writing A. R. Roberts, Secretary, The Academy of Accounting Historians, Middlebush Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65201. Professor Dick Hom-burger, is presently preparing a translation of several of the papers presented in German. Copies of the French manuscripts (translated) can be obtained by writing The Academy.

By Amy McGovern, co-leader of API of Norman, Oklahoma
I woke up on a Sunday wondering, again, if this was the day my husband, Andy, and I would get to meet William. After church, I tried to rest but kept waking up with repeated mild cramps. A phone call to my mom confirmed the start of labor. Contractions were ten minutes apart. Excited, we took the dog for a walk to speed labor along, but we had to stop because the contractions began to hurt. We tried to play a board game as a distraction, but I had a lot of trouble concentrating because the contractions were really hurting now. I was completely unprepared for how much they would hurt given how mild they had been earlier! And everyone I knew had very mild labors, so I did not expect it.
By the time the contractions were five minutes apart, I was convinced he was coming any minute! I quickly ate, and we dropped off the dog at our neighbors. As we drove to the hospital 45 minutes away, I called both our parents to tell them what was happening. The contractions hurt so much that I still thought William would arrive in the car, but both moms said I was talking too much for that to happen.
When we arrived at the hospital, they said I was only at two centimeters dilated. They were about to send me home but I vomited. The nurse told me that I was not very far along, and she was not convinced labor would keep going on its own. She sent us off to walk for an hour and then come back for a re-check. We started to make laps, but the area was small and we quickly got bored. We pulled out our board game, and Andy made me walk laps after every turn. We played until I was gasping from the contractions coming every three to four minutes. All that pain had to be worth at least a few centimeters, but I had only dilated one more centimeter. It was about midnight and they were preparing to send us home about midnight, when the heart monitor showed a sudden drop and I was quickly admitted. They offered me some pain medication, and the nurse told me that it would help me to dilate if I could relax. I slept for only a few hours.
Twenty-one hours into labor, the Monday morning obstetrician said I was only at four centimeters, so she broke my water. I asked for an epidural, because the contractions hurt far more than I had anticipated. I demanded that my epidural be a "walking one" without really knowing what that meant. First, they broke my water and the obstetrician said, "Oh, my favorite color." I asked what she meant, and she said it was meconium.
When the anesthesiologist gave me the epidural, I started to relax. Then, all of a sudden, the room was filled with doctors and nurses! I was a bit loopy from the medicine and did not know what was wrong. The nurse and the obstetrician kept repositioning me, and I finally ended up on my knees before they were happy. It turned out that the epidural made William's heart rate drop. Once he was back to normal, I was allowed up but was monitored wirelessly.
Determined to get William here quickly, we went for a walk by the nursery, which helped motivate me for the upcoming pushing. I knew it would be hard, and I wanted to see all those newborns whose moms had succeeded. We walked for a long time and stopped for a grape popsicle in the afternoon. Worn out, I walked back to my room to eat stopping once to leak water all over the floor. Apparently, William shifted!
After some rest and another exam that showed I was at seven centimeters, I tried to get up to go to the bathroom. No one had told me that if you lie down, the epidural would go to your legs. I started to fall as I tried to get out of bed but the nurses and Andy caught me. Frustrated, I ended up in bed waiting for ten centimeters. Sometime in this time period, a nurse came in and gasped, "She's cyanotic! She has asthma, aren't you worried?" The other nurse just laughed and said, "No, that's the grape popsicles!"
Finally, around 8:30 p.m., the obstetrician on-call came in, examined me, and told me that I was at ten centimeters. I was at last allowed to push! However, I didn't feel any urge to push, so they put me on Pitocin. I was too exhausted to really argue. All I knew is that I wanted William to get here soon.
The doctor left me with two labor nurses and Andy. I tried to push when they told me. One of them helped me to stand up, and I tried to use the squatting bar. The nurse got very excited when she could see William's hair. I was pushing as hard as I could but no other progress happened. I kept thinking, "If I push hard, his birthday will be today!"
After about an hour and a half of pushing, the doctor came back, watched me push, and said, "You are not pushing right," and left. I wanted to shout at him, "How many babies have you pushed out? I'm doing the best I can!" but he was already gone. Besides, I was really too tired to do anything else.
After three hours of pushing with no further progress, the nurses called the doctor back in and he examined me again. He told me that I had to have a Caesarean section. By this time, it was 11:30 p.m. I was so exhausted that I barely had any energy to move, but I argued with him that there had to be another way. We finally agreed together that William needed to get here soon, for his sake and mine. As we made the decision, the doctor turned off the Pitocin drip, and the contractions immediately stopped.
Around midnight, as the night dissolved into Tuesday, the nurses wheeled me in the OR. I told the nurses that Andy did not like the sight of blood so they whisked him away while they prepped me. However, I was terrified and began to shake uncontrollably, but the kind nurses held my hand and told me it was just hormones. I joked that the extra anesthesia didn't work, because I could still wiggle my toes.
Andy finally was allowed in when surgery started. I felt a lot of pulling and tugging, and the nurse and anesthesiologist narrated for me. Finally, they pulled William out, but he didn't cry. I kept asking, "Why isn't he crying? Is he ok? What is wrong?" They kept reassuring me that he was fine and he was being cleaned out. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) team was there, and I suddenly heard a loud wail. I was so relieved! Shortly after that, the NICU team announced, "We are all set! Congratulations!" and they left.
The doctor told Andy that William had been turned 90 degrees and had gotten stuck. Looking back now, I wonder if the reason labor hurt so much was that it was back labor? Apparently this was the doctor's way of apologizing for telling me that I wasn't pushing right: by telling me it wasn't my fault.
The nurses finally held William up for me to see, since I was still being sewed up, and asked me to name him. I was so exhausted and relieved that I started to cry. Andy told them proudly, "William Robin."
Around 2 a.m., I was wheeled into the very cold recovery room. We called our parents, and my mom tried to talk my dad into coming right then but he told her that he needed to sleep before driving for eight hours. She stayed up the rest of the night researching Caesarean sections, and he drove them up later that morning.
Around 3 a.m., a nurse appeared and said, "It says on your chart you are breastfeeding. Is that right?" She came back with William and said, "Ok, here you go! Twenty minutes on each side!" I had no idea what to do, so she helped to get him latched on and she left. I sleepily watched him for 20 minutes, and she came back to make sure I switched sides. Afterwards, they took him to the nursery. Around 4 a.m., they unhooked me and wheeled me upstairs. Exhausted from labor and surgery, I feel asleep quickly.
Around 7 or 8 a.m., I woke up with a start and demanded my baby now! Andy brought him in, and I finally got to examine him carefully from head to toe. He was wonderful – our sweet William Robin!

. I love that this party has a rustic feel yet it's still colorful and bold!
Party styling, printables, design and photography- Crackers Art

This is what Sarah said about this party– "In August last year, I had the pleasure of creating some custom printables for a client to suit a vintage car racing theme. While my customer only needed a few items, I knew the theme would look fabulous across a complete printables range, so I set about creating one.
I created this party table to show the printables in action. I came across the awesome black gasoline pump at a local discount store, and built up the table idea from there. I wanted it to be a bit vintage and rustic, but with all the fun and energy of bright colours and checkered flags. My client had me design her some oil can labels, and I loved the idea of those as props as well for this table. I used regular 400g tins of tomatoes and wrapped the labels around those – so simple, anyone can do it!"

SARASOTA, Fla -- We'll have a late start today because the Orioles' first full squad workout doesn't begin until noon. That's because most of the position players have to take their physicals beforehand.
I wrote a story for today's Sun about left-hander Brian Matusz, who spoke to the media for the first time yesterday. He seems upbeat and positive about putting last year's disastrous season behind him, which is a good thing.
But from talking to special assistant Brady Anderson and Orioles pitching coach Rick Adair, they seem to think that Matusz has turned the corner with the way he's focused on conditioning. That has to be good news for Orioles fans, because if the Orioles are going to compete in the AL East, they need a guy like Matusz to come through.
Talking to Orioles manager Buck Showalter this offseason shortly after the Jeremy Guthrie trade, he made a point about how important it is for the Orioles to truly develop a No. 1 starter through the farm system instead of getting one on the free-agent market.
And as much as fans wanted the Orioles to go after some of the big-name pitchers in the offseason, it's true. That's how Tampa Bay did it. When you look at their current arms -- James Shields, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Matt Moore, Jeff Niemann and Wade Davis -- they are all products of the Rays' farm system.
Some, like Price and Niemann, were labeled can't-miss first-rounders. But other guys, like Shields, Hellickson and Moore, weren't very high draft picks. They were groomed. Moore, for example, was an eighth-rounder and is now the top prospect in baseball.
Regardless, you've got to hit on the first-rounders. It's way early, but the Orioles feel like they have a future front-line starter in Dylan Bundy. But he might not be in Baltimore until 2014. If Matusz, the No. 4 overall pick in 2008, can rebound, it would be huge.
A couple of things we will follow today:
-- Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts will be with the team for the club's first full workout today (we wrote about it in today's notebook). We still don't know what he will do, but if he participates in any of the full-squad workout activities, it would be huge. Roberts has been very limited in his return from concussion symptoms -- hitting off a tee, playing catch and light lifting. We'll keep a close eye on it.
-- Something that developed last night: The Orioles went on a team field trip last night. The players returned to the Ed Smith facility in the evening and boarded buses for a local movie theater. It appears that this was similar to a team-bonding activity Showalter organized before the first full-squad workout last year, when he showed the team a 12-minute custom-made video that included individual highlights of the players and included other motivational footage, such as clips from past Orioles bench-clearing brawls.
-- Also, right-hander Jason Berken injured his hamstring during conditioning drills yesterday. We'll see how serious that injury is.
SARASOTA, Fla -- We'll have a late start today because the Orioles' first full squad workout doesn't begin until noon. That's because most of the position players have to take their physicals beforehand.

The Little House That Could
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 01, 2006
A new Habitat for Humanity-built home is a net producer of energy, having met and exceeded its zero-energy goal.
A zero-energy home (ZEH) is designed to produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a full year. The home uses the utility power grid for storage—delivering energy to the grid when the PV system is producing more energy than is being used in the home and drawing from the grid when the PV system is producing less energy than is needed in the home. This approach eliminates the need for battery storage in the home, thereby reducing the cost, complexity, and maintenance of the solar-electric system. Reaching zero energy within the affordable housing sector in cold climates can be a challenge. With the zero-energy goal in mind, we designed a 1,200 ft2, three-bedroom Denver zero-energy home that carefully combines envelope efficiency, efficient equipment, appliances and lighting, and passive- and active-solar features to reach the zero-energy goal. The home was designed using an early version of the BEopt building optimization software, a computer program designed to find optimal building designs along the path to zero net energy. Additional analysis was provided by DOE-2, a widely used and accepted freeware building energy analysis program that can predict the energy use and cost for all types of buildings. ...

Well Qualified
Harvard sends 11 fencers to the national championships for the fifth consecutive season. The field of 144 student-athletes includes six Crimson men and five Crimson women. Harvard qualified the maximum amount of fencers, two, in five of the six weapons including men's and women's epee and sabre and men's foil. Penn State, Princeton and Ohio State will send the maximum of 12 entrants to Columbus, while Notre Dame and St. John's match the Crimson's number of 11.
The Crimson men will be represented by seniors Eric Arzoian (sabre) and Michael Raynis (epee), juniors Brian Kaneshige (foil) and Alexander Ryjik (sabre), sophomore Michael Woo (foil) and freshman Alexander Eldeib (epee). Harvard's women's squad will consist of senior Alexandra Kiefer (foil), junior Emma Vaggo (epee), sophomores Isabel DiTella (epee) and Aliya Itzkowitz (sabre), and freshman Adrienne Jarocki (foil).
Related Link: 11 Fencers Selected for NCAA Championships
Over their respective two days, the men and women will compete in a round-robin format of five-touch bouts for five rounds. Each victory counts as one point towards the team total. The top-four finishers in each weapon will vie for individual championships with 15-touch semifinal bouts with the winners fencing to determine first and second places, and the non-advancing fencers tying for third. The closing rounds do not contribute to the team point's totals. The team title is awarded as a coed team.
Looking Back at the 2013 NCAA Championships
A year ago, Harvard completed the 2013 NCAA Championship with 134 victories for sixth place. Seven Crimson garnered All-American status with three women and four men earning the accolades. Foil fencer Alexandra Kiefer finished sixth for first-team nods while Aliya Itzkowitz and Nina van Loon picked up honorable mention honors as the sabre fencer and epeeist finished 12th and 11th, respectively. With a bronze medal performance Peregrine Badger claimed first team accolades in the epee. Foil fencers Brian Kaneshige and Michael Woo nabbed second team honors while epeeist Michael Raynis earned honorable mention.

Title Defense
Both genders return only one national champion from 2013. Men's foil Alex Massialas of Stanford and Notre Dame's women foil fencer Lee Kiefer will put their titles on the line in Columbus.
Harvard's Alexandra Kiefer joins Massialas as a former NCAA individual champion. The senior is aiming to reclaim the foil crown she captured as a freshman in 2011.
Returning Hardware
Thirteen student-athletes who made it to the podium at the 2013 NCAA championship have qualified for this year's event. All medalists from a year ago in the women's foil will return while three in the men's foil will take the strip. Two medal-getters in the men's and women's sabre and women's epee return for another chance to collect hardware.
We Are the Champions
Harvard captured its first-ever team crown in 2006. Over the years, eight Crimson fencers – four men, four women - have sparred their way to individual titles with the most recent being foil fencer Alexandra Kiefer in 2011.
Punching Their Ticket to Nationals
The qualification for the NCAA Championship is based on a formula comprising a 60 percent weight on regional performance and 40 percent regular-season meets. Regional champions for each weapon automatically advance, with remaining bids going to fencers based on performance and the region they compete in. Twenty-four spots in the epee, foil and sabre for both the men's and women's competitors will be distributed.
Fourth Time's a Charm
Seniors Alexandra Kiefer and Michael Raynis will take the strip at the NCAA Championships for the fourth time in their careers. In her first appearance at the national championships, Kiefer captured an individual title and has garnered All-America status in each of her outings at the event. Raynis picked up All-America honors as a freshman and junior when he finished sixth and 11th, respectively.
Regional Recap
The Crimson collected a combined eight medals and 14 top-10 finishes, the most out of the 18 teams who had entrants at the Northeast Regional March 9. In their first collegiate regional Adrienne Jarocki and Isabel DiTella sat atop the podium in the sabre and epee, respectively, with gold while Aliya Itzkowitz (sabre) and Alexandra Kiefer (foil) picked up silver. Nina van Loon earned bronze to round out the women's medalist's. On the men's side, Michael Woo captured silver in the foil while weaponmate Brian Kaneshige took bronze. Alexandra Ryjik finished third in the sabre for a bronze medal.

The 2014 NCAA Fencing Championships will be hosted by Ohio State at the French Field House. This marks the fourth time in seven years the Buckeyes have hosted the national championship, holding hosting duties, in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
To Be the Best, You Have to Beat the Best
Including Harvard, both the men's and women's sides will have three ranked programs competing in the Northeast Regional. The Crimson men, who rank sixth, will take the strip against the nation's top squad Columbia and eighth-ranked St. John's. The women, who are seeded third in the poll, will clash against the Lions and the Red Storm, who sit fifth and tenth, respectively.
Ivy Champs!
The combination of a 4-1 record and a Princeton win over top-ranked Columbia, the Harvard men's squad earned a share of the 2014 Ivy League title Sunday, Feb. 9 at Brown's Olney-Margolies Athletic Center. The back-to-back title marks the eighth overall for the Crimson men and third in four years.

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.
Beantown Bandits

Junior Olympians
Alexander Eldeib and Stephen Mageras captured their first Junior Olympics medal in February. Eldeib sat atop the epee podium with gold while Mageras finished second in the foil for silver.

For the second straight season seniors Lucas Lin and Michael Raynis will lead the Crimson men as co-captains. The duo is the first pair to server two consecutive seasons as co-captains since Benjamin Schmidt '03 and David Wollenberg '03 did so for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 season.
A senior and junior will serve as co-captains of the women's fencing team for the third consecutive season as Alexandra Kiefer and Kara Lee take on the leadership responsibilities. The duo is the 18th set of Crimson captains to guide the women's squad since Bernadette Drankoski '90 and Genevieve Laforet '80 served as the program's first co-captains in 1979-80.
Trust in Brand
Peter Brand enters his 15th season at the helm of the Crimson. Under his guidance, Harvard captured its first NCAA 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 Harvard's behind. Brand sports a 163-61 overall record on the men's side and a 43-38 mark against Ancient Eight foes and sits at 200-62 overall on the women's side and 54-32 against Ivy League opponents.
New Sideline Addition
A new face has been added to the Harvard fencing staff as Jed Dupree joins the program as an assistant coach. He came to Cambridge after working as the head foil coach at Empire United Fencing. Dupree's competitor resume boasts prestige, including an Olympian at the 2004 Athens Games, seven-time member of the U.S. National Team and two-time men's foil national champion in 2001 and 2005, respectively.

If there are 2.9 billion email accounts in the world, and there were 107 TRILLION emails sent last year, that means the person in the cubicle next to you sent 36,896 emails, give or take, during 2010.
According to Royal.Pingdom.Com (winner of today's awesomest url), not only were record amounts of emails sent, but the world's internet community rose by 14 percent -- reaching a user base of 1.97 billion people.
And to be fair to your cubicle-mate, 89 percent of emails are assumed to be spam (aren't you praising your inbox filter just a little more right now?). So your neighbor probably only sent 4,059 notes that simply had to go out into the world.
Some other hits:
- 255 million websites as of December 2010
- 100 million Twitter accounts added in 2010
- 5 billion images hosted by Flickr
- 36 billion images uploaded to Facebook (at present rate)
So, who's keeping tracks of all those instant messages?

Smith becomes strong candidate to land last bullpen spot; Lo Duca, Payton assigned to Triple-A
TUCSON — Mediocrity has a way of scrapping plans. Two weeks ago, manager Jim Tracy said he didn't see a scenario where Greg Smith would be used as a reliever. That changed with the stream of uninspired outings by Justin Speier, Tim Redding and Juan Rincon.
"Smith is definitely a candidate," Tracy said. "I didn't see that as a possibility when I talked about it before. But nobody has stepped forward. And with our closer out, we need to be flexible. I said all along that we are going to take the best team available to us on opening day."
Smith has allowed three runs in 18 innings as a starter. He threw four scoreless innings today. The reality is that the Rockies are leaning toward a lefty, which could mean Smith or Beimel? Why? Well, the Brewers' best hitter is left-handed — Prince Fielder — and their entire bench is full of left-handers, including Jody Gerut, Craig Counsell and Jim Edmonds.
In other moves, the Rockies optioned Eric Young Jr. to Triple-A, and assigned Matt Reynolds, Mike Paulk, Paul Phillips, Jay Payton, Paul Lo Duca, Cole Garner, Matt Miller and Omar Quintanilla to the minor leagues.

Inns in Spain
Virgen de la Tejeda Sanctuary, in Belmonte - exterior
Would you like to enjoy a stay in unique accommodation? Come and discover Spain's inns. They are special buildings, either on account of their architecture, given that many have centuries of history, or on account of their location in stunning natural surroundings. They offer all kinds of creature comforts and excellent service. Welcome!
In recent years, inns have become an excellent choice for accommodation. Apart from the peace and quiet to be enjoyed in these places, at the same time you can discover many aspects of Spanish art, countryside and folklore. Not forgetting gastronomy of course, which has a privileged role in these generally small, cosy establishments.
Many Spanish regions offer this type of accommodation. Aragon, Extremadura and Castile-La Mancha are places where this kind of quality accommodation is especially prevalent.
Medieval monasteries, old palaces, convents, farmhouses, buildings with traditional regional architecture, old barns and flour mills are some of the constructions that have now been turned into inns. Many of them are real architectural gems that have been restored, combining traditional building with the modern comfort you would expect in the 21st century. Imagine sleeping in Rueda Monastery, 70 kilometres from Zaragoza, one of Europe's most important Cistercian monastery buildings. Or in a wonderfully restored olive oil mill in the Jerte Valley, Cáceres. Or even in a Sanctuary such as Nuestra Señora de Tejeda, in the province of Cuenca. All this, and much more, is possible at Spain's inns.
There are other, newer inns too, located in stunning spots, also offering excellent service with professional, personal attention, facilities where care is taken over every detail, and great value for money.
To sum up, this is an original way to enjoy Spain. There is still more, however: you will find a long list of activities available in many of these inns, including bike and horse-riding routes, adventure sports, guided outings and tours, quad-biking and 4x4 routes, fishing, Turkish baths, gastronomic tasting sessions, concerts... You can even organise business meetings and company events. You just have to choose where. http://www.hospederiasdeextremadura.es/ http://www.hospederiasdearagon.com/Hospederia/ http://www.turismocastillalamancha.es/alojamientos/

Editorial: Carbon tax can appeal to both liberals and conservatives
The best way to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases is to put a tax on carbon. Almost all economists would agree. Yet there's even wider agreement, and not just among economists, that a carbon tax can't happen. In the United States, it's assumed, the idea will always be unpopular.
In case you're wondering, why would a carbon tax be so much better than quantitative emissions controls like the ones just proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency? Because it allows the greatest possible flexibility in meeting any given target for lower emissions. Unlike caps on emissions from cars or power plants, say, or subsidies for this or that form of clean energy, a tax lets market forces organize the economy's response. This ensures that emissions are cut where it's easiest and cheapest to cut them.
To be fair, the EPA's recent proposals follow this thinking as far as possible. The target of cutting power-plant emissions of carbon dioxide by 20 percent between 2005 and 2020, and 30 percent between 2005 and 2030, allows for a variety of approaches. Within a single sector of the economy — electric power — the aim is to mimic the advantages of a carbon tax. State and regional cap-and-trade systems, operating across the economy as a whole, move closer still to the carbon-tax model. But why struggle to mimic the desirable properties of a carbon tax, with all the complications this entails, if you can simply have a carbon tax?
The standard answer is politics. The EPA can regulate power-plant emissions without new legislation, whereas a carbon tax requires Congress to act. The need to build political support is a formidable obstacle but not an insuperable one.
Granted, some Republicans oppose a carbon tax merely because it recognizes climate change as a problem requiring action. There's nothing one can do to persuade that group. Many more Republicans oppose a carbon tax — even one offset by tax cuts elsewhere — simply because it is a new tax. Among this latter group, at least, the argument can be recast: The idea is not so much to impose a new tax as it is to reduce government intervention in the economy.
Instead of listing all the fine things a carbon tax could buy — some tax cuts here, a bit of budget-deficit reduction there, and plenty left over for additional spending on infrastructure and other good things — advocates of such a tax should simply offer to give back all the revenue in the form of tax cuts elsewhere.
It's a worthwhile trade because a tax is by far the best way to reduce carbon emissions, which again is the whole point of this exercise. Consider a modest tax of $16 a ton of carbon dioxide, rising at 4 percent a year above inflation. It would reduce power-sector emissions by more than the EPA proposals for the energy sector would, and curb emissions across the rest of the economy as well.
A $16 a ton tax would also add about 16 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline and raise household energy costs by 5 percent to 20 percent, depending on the source. Such costs — to "families and businesses," of course, because what politician in his right mind wants to impose a new tax on families and businesses? — are most often cited by opponents of the tax.
The answer is twofold. Yes, families and businesses would be paying a new tax. But no, families and businesses would not be paying more tax. The new carbon tax would raise about $1 trillion over 10 years and almost $3 trillion over 20 — a handy sum. That would be enough to send every U.S. resident a check for about $300 in the first year (with bigger checks to follow) or $1,200 for a family of four. It would be more than enough to cut the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 35 percent, for instance, or take a bite out of payroll taxes, or some of both.
This would inevitably lead to an argument over which taxes to cut. At which point, admittedly, the debate could bog down all over again. But at least it would be framed by a shared assumption: that a carbon tax is good policy. It gets liberals a more effective climate policy, and Republicans a less intrusive government.

Super hard wheels for derby?
Hey there,
My teammate is very tall and strong, and has been skating on 97a and 100a wheels. She finds these too grippy for all of the plowing we do at practice. Can anyone recommend any wheels harder than 100a that would be suitable for derby? I am checking with her on whether she is using metal-hubbed 100a - I have read that 100a wheels with metal hubs may work better for her than 100a wheels with plastic hubs. Any insight or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

will make a difference. Maybe go to a narrower wheel?

I would assume a metal hub 100a would have less grip than a zytel hub, and yes a thinner wheel would have less grip, as would a smaller wheel, what wheels is she on
Roll line wheels are plastic, hard roll line wheels are hard plastic, and all are thin
Rollerbones turbos 101 should do the trick 38mm wide, metal hub, as you're in a conversation with rollerbones, ask for a price break

Many times urethane is not as hard as it is advertised.
Narrow wheels don't always give the modification in traction youd think.
If you consider identical urethane...
Narrow wheels produce more PSI than wide wheels ( less wheel width to displace a skaters weight), and on some(most floors really) floors will produce a lot more grip. Example? Vanilla groove n glides( 62x 30)in 99A compared to vanilla deluxe(62×42) in 99A vs Vanilla Royals in 99A(57x30).
Thinner wall of urethane around a hub (which in a way, stiffens the wheel) is usually easier to induce a slide.
Also its easier to induce a slide on a skate with the wheels set a bit looser. This allows the wheel to have more ability to vibrate. The vibration makes for less available grip. Metal huns help alot here as plastic dampens vibrations. So make sure the wheels have a tiny bit of lateral play on each axle.
If running spacers, thats fine. However if the axle nut is tightened all the way down this dampens the wheels ability to vibrate, and makes sliding harder.
Vanilla Deluxe 99A
Of those 2 , honestly would go for the vanilla, they will replace the wheels ar no cost if they wear out. I dont know of a wheel that would be better for what that skater needs right off hand.

What kind of a floor + finish is offering so much grip with such hard wheels?
How come the other team members can do their plow stops with softer formula wheels than 97-100A?
It seems like there is something else happening other than just too much wheel grip - even with 100A wheels?
How clean are the wheels?
What level of grooves on wheels (if any)?
What kind of plate and suspension firmness setting?

What to make of the Tea Party? To some, it is a grassroots movement aiming to reclaim an out-of-touch government for the people. To others, it is a proto-fascist organization of the misinformed and manipulated lower middle class. Either way, it is surely one of the most significant forms of reaction in the age of Obama.
In this definitive socio-political analysis of the Tea Party, Anthony DiMaggio examines the Tea Party phenomenon, using a vast array of primary and secondary sources as well as first-hand observation. He traces the history of the Tea Party and analyzes its organizational structure, membership, ideological coherence, and relationship to the mass media. And, perhaps most importantly, he asks: is it really a movement or just a form of "manufactured dissent" engineered by capital? DiMaggio's conclusions are thoroughly documented, surprising, and bring much needed clarity to a highly controversial subject.
Read an interview with Anthony DiMaggio here.
This acute and highly informed analysis of the Tea Party phenomenon brings to light the reality that lies behind excited media portrayals, crucially distinguishing the 'movement' itself from the far larger and more significant popular sectors that are misled into believing that it responds to their authentic grievances, which are unaddressed in the mainstream political system. It is a dangerous mix, as history reveals. This lucid and careful study could hardly be more timely.
This is the definitive book on the Tea Party phenomenon, its fake populism, and its impact on the public sphere. This book offers an important analysis of how right wing forces are able to hijack the economic insecurity felt by the vast majority and divert it towards elite driven agendas. A must read.
The authoritative must-read on the subject. With a combination of painstaking research and analytical force, DiMaggio pulls back the curtain to show the Tea Party for what it is: a PR front group for billionaires and corporations. This is the one book everyone concerned about American politics needs to read, and fast.
The Rise of the Tea Party may be one of the most significant books on cultural politics, the media, and social movements published in the last decade. Building on the work of a number of theorists, DiMaggio makes clear that twenty-first century politics cannot be understood outside of the formative culture that shapes it. Taking the Tea Party as an exemplary case study, this fascinating book adds not only to our understanding of the rise and influence of this conservative movement, it also deepens our knowledge of the educational force of a larger culture that is central to any viable notion of politics. This is a must read for anyone concerned about politics, the cultural apparatuses of public pedagogy, and the emergence of the Tea Party in the United States.
Understanding the current political climate is the first necessary step toward shaping a realistic political agenda for the next decade. This timely book makes a significant contribution toward our understanding of the current political, social, and political climate in the U.S. Aimed at influencing public opinion and policy, the Tea Party—or better said, the Business Party—has recently dominated the mass media discourse through its well-orchestrated propaganda campaigns. What's at stake? Why should we care? To learn the answers to these and other questions, I recommend reading this timely, analytical, engaging, thought-provoking, and informative volume. The only way to revitalize the American dream is to replace the outdated political ideologies with fresh and collaborative, not divisive, approaches.
Extremely important and timely. The Tea Party's popularity and media attention is vastly overplayed, and leaves false impressions within the boarder social milieu in this country. This book is vital to the immediate future of human rights, civil liberties, and democracy and will serve as a beacon of understanding and theory building both inside the academy and within community activist groups. It is expertly documented and readable for both academics and lay people, and a work of understanding social movements that will permanently contribute to the literature inside social movement studies. Most importantly it offers a new interpretation of the Tea Party as a media mediated top-down phenomenon highly compatible with a neo-liberal agenda.

Gen. Allen resumes command duty in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. John Allen has returned to Kabul to resume his duties as the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, more than a week after the Pentagon announced it was investigating potentially "inappropriate" correspondence between the four-star general and a woman linked to the David Petraeus sex scandal.
Lt. Col. Les Carroll, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, said Allen returned to work Wednesday.
Allen's office in Kabul issued a brief statement saying he is happy to be back in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with his troops.
"The Defense Department inspector general's investigation into certain communications by Gen. Allen continues," it said. "Out of respect for that process, Gen. Allen will continue to refrain from commenting on those matters that may fall within the scope of the investigation."
Allen had been in Washington when news of his problematic email correspondence with Florida socialite Jill Kelley surfaced last Monday. He was expected to testify before a Senate committee last Thursday on his nomination to become the commander of U.S. European Command and the top NATO general. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has put that nomination on hold.
Well before the FBI referred the Allen emails to the Pentagon's chief lawyer last week, the Obama administration had nominated another four-star Marine, Gen. Joseph Dunford, to replace Allen in Kabul. The Senate has not yet voted on Dunford's nomination.
At the time Panetta announced that the Pentagon inspector general is reviewing as many as 30,000 pages of Allen's correspondence with Kelley, Panetta said he had determined that Allen should remain in command in Kabul, pending the outcome of the probe.
Allen's predecessor as Afghanistan war commander, David Petraeus, resigned from his post as CIA director earlier this month after acknowledging an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The FBI learned of the affair as it investigated anonymous, harassing emails, ultimately traced to Broadwell, that were sent to Kelley. The FBI investigation also turned up the emails between Allen and Kelley.

The Crimson varsity approaches the finish line as a crowd of spectators awaits at Bartlett's Cove.
Race Videos and Media Coverage
LEDYARD, Conn. —The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight posted a 5.9-second win against rival Yale to lead the Crimson to a sweep of the Bulldogs for the third straight year in the 145th Harvard-Yale Regatta Saturday morning on the Thames River.
The Crimson second varsity and freshman eights cruised to wins of 15.6 and 14.9 seconds, respectively, in the latest edition of America's oldest intercollegiate athletic event. Harvard has now won 10 of the last 11 varsity matchups and has swept the Regatta in seven of the last 10 years. The Crimson extended its all-time lead to 91-54 in a series that dates back to a Harvard win in 1852 on Lake Winnipesaukee.
"It was a very, very solid row," Harry Parker, The Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Crew, said of the varsity win in 19:40.3. "I'm proud of all the crews. The conditions were more challenging than we anticipated, and Yale was very strong. I was very pleased."
With partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 60s, conditions were good for most of the morning, but a tailwind shifted into a west crosswind before the four-mile varsity race, the longest of its kind in America and the final event of the morning.
The Yale varsity (5-2) took a three-seat lead in the opening mile, but the Crimson (7-1) surged back into the Bulldogs, went ahead a mile into the race and had an eight-seat advantage after another half-mile. The lead reached a full length at two miles and just before the 2.5-mile mark, Harvard countered a Yale move by taking back three seats to gain an open-water advantage. Harvard led by eight seconds with a mile left to race, but the Bulldogs fought to the end, gaining one second in each of the final half-miles and finishing in 19:46.2.
The morning began with the freshman race. Harvard took control from the start of the race despite rowing at a substantially lower stroke rate than its opposition. The Crimson advantage reached open water just after the half-mile mark. By the midpoint of the two-mile race, Harvard had stretched its lead to nine seconds. The margin reached 15 seconds with a half-mile to go, and the Crimson held it through the finish, crossing in 9:32.7. Yale finished in 9:47.6.
The freshman win completed a fourth straight undefeated dual season for the Harvard freshman eight and coach Bill Manning. The Crimson's last freshman head-to-head loss came in the 2006 Harvard-Yale Regatta.
The three-mile second varsity race followed the same script, as Yale stroked hard off the start but Harvard went ahead by taking fewer, longer strokes. The Crimson gained a couple seats off the start line and steadily pulled away from there, winning in 14:46.8 to the Bulldogs' 15:02.4. Harvard also won a closely contested combination race by four seconds Friday afternoon.
