Red Stylo Announces an OPEN CALL for a "Jekyll & Hyde" Double-Sided Anthology
Red Style has been putting out numerous anthologies and they have announced their latest. The theme this year is a call-back to Red Stylo's literary roots: A Soul Divided/Caged in Flesh, an anthology of original comic stories inspired by The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson.
This will be the 7th book in the Red Stylo Presents series of anthologies, with a diabolical twist. Just as Jekyll and Hyde do battle for a single body, A Soul Divided/Caged in Flesh will be a double-sided, dueling collection of stories, with one-half inspired by the tortured Dr. Jekyll and the other entirely devoted to the abominable Mr. Hyde. There will be no middle ground. The two halves will exist together, each fighting for supremacy, but caged tightly in one collection of original works inspired by Stevenson's horror classic.
Red Stylo has lots of information that you can find at their site and are looking more for "inspired by" than adaptations of the classic work. There's no limit to the actual genre giving creators an impressive amount of room to work with. You're also not limited as to your pitch, you can do both! Also, first timers are welcome!
The open call ends February 15th.

Trigger warning – suicide/loss of a child
I don't know if I like this cinema, it's not like the one at home. I want popcorn. Why is that man looking at me? Where is the door to the cinema? Why are there so many flavours of popcorn? Which do I choose? Oh that's a bright light.
Maybe we should have gone to the cinema we usually go to, this one did seem louder than normal. My son did not cope well with the change, the noise, the seats, all of it. We leave quickly and aim for the nearest take away restaurant. It's right across the road and we need to eat.
The road is too busy. I'm so confused. There are too many people here. Too much noise. That man is speaking to me, was it me? I don't know what he said. I can't get that siren out of my head, it's piercing my brain so I can't hear what's going on. Choose? I cant choose. There are too many pizzas there.
I didn't realise the take away would be so loud. As I struggle to take my child back across the busy road and into the lift to the car I can feel the distress coming from him. My only thought is to get him in the car and get him home. I open the car door and tell him I will give him his pizza when he is in the car. He thought he was getting it now.
Why can't I have my pizza? My head is hurting now. It's all too much. I don't know what my brain is doing, I think nothing. I feel nothing. I'm numb to it all. I'm not in control of my legs. They start to run as fast as they can. I run from my feelings, from the noise, from the popcorn, the seats, the light, the siren, the crowd, the takeaway, the lift and the pizza. It's all so much that my brain isn't thinking any more. My legs just want to get away.
It's happening so fast. Yet so slow. It's been a minute yet time has stopped for a lifetime. There is no time to react, yet it is playing out so slow in front of my eyes, like a scene from my worst nightmare. But it's real. I watch. Helpless. My baby vacantly runs with nowhere to go. Effortlessly he climbs onto the car park wall, about to leap over to…to the ground far below. Before my feet can move I open my mouth and scare myself with the sound that comes out.
The scream! That sound piercing through the nothingness in my head. I hear that one. It's not a noise I've heard before. Mummy! Mummy I'm scared. I slip and fall. Mummy!
I'm not crying. The tears are there inside waiting for later when I know they wont stop. For now, I'm in overdrive. My heart is pounding as I hold my child so tightly that I don't think my arms will ever let go. They do though, only to put him safely in the car. I don't know how he fell back towards me, but when I think about it later, its something I will always be grateful for. I quickly flip the child lock to closed so he cant open the door. He isn't trying to get out though, he's crashed. Exhausted. Me too.
Emotionally drained, I dare myself to look. Slowly I creep towards the wall. On my side it is hip height, not high enough really, yet so high on the other side. I look down. A long way down, to the distant concrete floor below. I allow my mind to half think the thought I don't want to think and then shut it off again.
Feeling sick, I quickly get in the car. As we drive home it's almost silent. My child's sobs blend into the hum of the car as it monotonously joins the other cars on the motorway. The hundreds of others unknowingly going about their day. I put my hand to my face and wipe the tears running silently from my eyes like the raindrops running down the wind screen.
I know tomorrow he will have forgotten, I'm not even sure he knows. It's the same with every meltdown. Life carries on. I will never forget though. I feel helpless. Determined. Confused. Scared. Lucky. Thankful, and everything in between, yet numb. The memories of that day will forever be etched in my mind, a stark and haunting nightmare of a reminder that a child so precious to me could be gone in a meltdowning instant.
Note from the author – I'm sorry if this post upset you. It was a difficult one to write and it has taken me a long time to do so. I think however that it is a necessary reminder. A reminder to risk assess everything, even the things we don't always think about. It also highlights the need for councils that don't, to wake up and realise that autistic children should be allowed a blue badge to ensure their parents can park safely.

Clever. Witty. Hilarious.
If I had to sum up Kyle Robert Shultz' book, The Beast of Talesend in three words, those are the ones I would choose.
But, thankfully, I do not have to keep my review of this delightful tome to a mere three words. Isn't that just fabulous? Therefore, you will now get a more thorough review. Lucky you!
Nick Beasley is a private investigator who lives in the Afterlands, in 1922 E.A. (Ever After). It has been approximately that long since the last "happily ever after" and magic is far less common now. In fact, Nick has made a pretty fair name for himself debunking all sorts of magical hoaxes and proving that magic more or less doesn't even exist… perhaps it never did.
But his perspective on that… and everything else… is about to change.
I loved every page of this short novel. It had a hint of that 1920s, black and white, "Dragnet" or "Kojak" sort of feel to it. It was even told in that sort of matter-of-fact, first person sort of way that just has a very dry sense of humor to it.
Things I loved:
1. The characters. For such a short read (I think it took me about two hours to complete), the characters really spring off the pages. Nick is this grumpy, old-before-his-time, protective big brother who is sort of used to being right all the time. But he's got a heart of gold and he cares about people. That's the whole reason he is working so hard to prove that magic doesn't exist: he's seen too many people hurt by scam artists. Then there's the Lady Cordelia, who is the polar opposite of Nick. She is impetuous and almost obnoxious in her brashness, but her "jump first, look later" nature is born of an absolute confidence in who she is and her own skills (and she really is pretty good at things) that you can't help but admire her. Crispin is Nick's younger brother, and at first he comes across as sort of your typical lazy lay-about who can't hold down a job… but he is more capable than even he knows, and he is loyal to a fault.
2. The crime-drama aspects of the story. I love crime shows and detective-type stories. So those aspects of the story intrigued me and made me want to discover "whodunit" along with the characters.
3. The humor. Oh my goodness, the humor! This book is just dripping with snarky, tongue-in-cheek, dry humor. There were lines that made me chuckle on almost every page. And there was at least one moment where I could not even keep reading, I was laughing so hard. That is a huge win, in my book. I love a story that makes me laugh.
4. The world. I love the idea of all the fairy tales living along together in the same world, and this one was just so amusingly put together. With places like "Grimmany" and the "Palace of Villeneuve" scattered across the Afterlands, there were plenty of nods to the originals mingled together with entertaining puns to keep me begging for more stories set in this world.
Things I didn't love:
Uuuuummmmm…. I'm supposed to balance out the raving from above here, right? I mean…
Nope. Can't think of anything. Except maybe that it was too short.
And… that's about it.
In conclusion:
I will definitely be buying the sequel(s) and reading more from this author. If you enjoy crime shows, a writing style that hearkens back to the days of Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant, mixed up fairy-tales, puns, hilarity, and unlikely heroes… this is a book you NEED to go get a copy of right now!

"Batman v Superman" Director Zack Snyder Defends Aquaman's Powers
Posted: August 9th, 2014 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
While it has yet to be officially confirmed by Warner Bros, it seems that Aquaman will be appearing in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." It's also strongly believed that Jason Momoa (Conan the Barbarian) will play him.
Just recently the rumor became more solid when director Zack Snyder called into a radio show to defend Aquaman from the many jokes that the hosts where making about the character.
You guys were disparaging Aquaman,
" said Snyder. "
I don't want to give anything away about the movie or anything like that, but Aquaman has some cool abilities. People are like, 'Oh what? Does he talk to animals? Because that seems like what he does. Or fish?' The cool thing with Aquaman is he has his trident. You have to realize that could cut the flesh of Superman if they came in contact. He's super strong because he can exist at these super deep depths. So when he comes up here, he's crazy strong. Anyway, not to say he's in my movie or anything like that, but he has the potential to be bad ass, that's all I'm saying.

What powers? The ability to vibrate Batman's *sshole with his tongue?
on August 9th, 2014 at 6:49:56 AM
It seems that DC is already trying to do damage control! Also, when the hell did Aquaman get a trident made out of kryptonite? Aquaman is useless, unless the fight takes place in water. He's also the biggest gay joke in comic book history.
on August 9th, 2014 at 6:52:06 AM
f*ck you, Zack, this was supposed to be Man of Steel 2, then Superman vs Batman, and now it's JLA lite. Just admit you're making a rushed turd in the name of parity with Marvel.
on August 9th, 2014 at 7:08:23 AM
Brick Tamland had a trident too.

@Alex: what, no "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: What Did You Think?" article?
By the way Menahem Golan, one of the biggest action movie producers of the 1980s, died.

"when the hell did Aquaman get a trident made out of kryptonite?"
True. The only things that can cut Superman are Kryptonite and Lois Lane's nagging. I even hear Batman has a tape of her ragging just in case Superman goes rogue.

The resident multi-account troll must be still fast asleep in his Saturday morning jammies.
How do I know? There's only four people here posting, all regular members.
You'll know the MAP troll is up when this place fills to the brim with random garbage from random garbage accounts.
This is what it looks like without all the noise.

Cant wait till this sh*ts done filming.
on August 9th, 2014 at 9:52:18 AM
Eh f*ck this movie anyway.
on August 9th, 2014 at 9:53:18 AM
Zack Snyder sounds embarassed to defend his own movie, and he should because apparently he's just going to make up his own rules for the characters. At no point do I recall ever seeing Aquaman hurt Superman with his stupid Trident.
Unless this movie time travels to Krypton and takes place there, none of this makes any damn sense.
on August 9th, 2014 at 10:11:21 AM
The radio station Zack called is a SPORTS station, that's how pathetic this whole thing is. He had to call a sports station, in Detroit of all places, to defend Dawn of Crap.
I am so going to laugh though if the trailer blows us all the f*ck away...
on August 9th, 2014 at 10:23:50 AM
The only good thing about this movie seems like Affleck at this point, even though there's really nothing good about 'him' either. The only thing I really remember him for is Dogma and the part in 'smokin aces' when he gets his dead body played with.
on August 9th, 2014 at 10:30:48 AM
I can see the troll is up and about....

You are the only troll around here !!
Ego or stupidity is the reason You don�t see it.
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:22:55 AM
Let me paint the picture for you :
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
In other words : Tsk Tsk !!!
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:27:13 AM
No, that's you, Bullitt/Deaftone and all the other bullsh*t accounts and you f*cking know it.
f*cking idiot.
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:29:00 AM
Maybe get a job or something, hear it makes wonders for some people.
Or try getting laid, with real girls, not the plastic ones !!
But please remember protection, we don�t want other little Mink bastards running around when one is more than enough !!
Give it some thought and get back ASAP...know you will !
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:30:30 AM
I mean, really, how is that working out for you? Huh? There's no one here but a handful of regulars and a bunch of bullsh*t accounts. lol.
I love how "they" all appeared at the same time. Did you wake up, run for the computer and say to yourself, time to start f*cking around on WP?
It's going to be a sad day when you and I are the only people left. Hope you REALLY enjoy talking to yourself.
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:30:54 AM
^ eh...paranoid much ?!?
"I see multiple accounts"
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:32:23 AM
Well still have Tanman :)
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:32:38 AM
Yadda yadda yadda. You spend all day on here changing accounts posting garbage because you're a f*cking psycho and you know it and I hope some of the remaining regular people see it and know it. If they don't then they're f*cking stupid.
Good luck with that.
And I'm done arguing with you because that's what you crave. You it on your fat ugly ass all day trying to start sh*t here at WP.
Well enough of me enabling your pathetic existence for today.
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:34:39 AM
"Well still have Tanman :)"
I've already explained everything to tanman in private. If he continues to fall for your psychotic idiotic multi-account bullsh*t, so be it, but in the end you have absolutely nothing to offer anyone on this website and you'll end up alone on here talking to your hand.

You seem prette sure/full of Yourself, that�s pretty bold since You have no way of knowing, but alright, I�ll play along - don�t need to prove this IS my ONLY account and I don�t need to justify myself to a maniac !
Heres a little quote from TDK that fits your profile perfectly :
And since dying as a hero is out of the question for a coward....
on August 9th, 2014 at 11:56:09 AM
Yeah, sure, there's only one five year-old idiot on this website who views the world through comic books and cartoons, and we've already gone down that route. You and I know it.
on August 9th, 2014 at 12:01:02 PM
Lol mink, I still don't get why you continually think that I have multiple accounts on here. I only have this one, no others.
Stop lumping me in with whoever it is that does have more than one account on here. Everyone knows you have several 'joke' accounts on here like god and putman's p*ssy and so on and so forth.
So you can't get upset at other users that do the same thing.
on August 9th, 2014 at 12:06:50 PM
Well Mink, then I must be the 2. five year-old idiot here -lol
(oh sh*t,I wrote lol after a sentence...could it be I�m Tanman ?!? -The plot thickens)
on August 9th, 2014 at 12:20:58 PM
I like how he thinks I have multiple accounts, haven't even been to this site in 5 months. Still the same old Mink.
on August 9th, 2014 at 1:14:15 PM

Not every book gets a thumbs-up from the founder of a political party. One that has is John Gillingham's polemical history, The EU: An Obituary. The back displays a surprising endorsement from 'Ian Sked' – actually Alan Sked, founder of UKIP. Sked has disowned the party, but still treasures 'happy memories' of working with Enoch Powell, a man he denies was racist.
Gillingham too can be soft on racism. He writes, for instance, that Dutch far-right leader Pim Fortuyn was 'not racist per se' but spoke for those whom 'an influx of foreigners had made feel like strangers in their own neighbourhoods'. And he suggests that after electing Nazi apologist Jörg Haider, Austria suffered 'impose[d] standards of political correctness'. Gillingham's preferred brand of extremism, however, is neoliberal. A wide-eyed techno-optimist, foe of 'statism' and cheerleader for market-driven 'creative destruction', he portrays familiar demons: bloated quangos and corrupt, incompetent Eurocrats. As such, he lauds many of the EU's worst features and impugns some of its best.
The worst bane is state intervention in trade, industrial policy or regulation. Reagan's brutal class war 'worked well', and we should 'give the City the autonomy it has long sought'. Plans to curb monopolies and protect data are 'a campaign of harassment' and 'demonisation' of American tech giants. Trade policies condemned by poor countries and development organisations are 'impressive achievements'. On TTIP, Gillingham is almost ecstatic: it's a 'game-changer' that might revive the EU. How? GDP could rise half a percentage point.
On climate change, the EU must axe 'costly regulation' and 'unrealistic targets'; jihadist attacks show there are 'more pressing problems'. Cutting carbon has been Europe's 'priority' – though the Emissions Trading Scheme (gutted by corporate lobbyists) doesn't work, and Russian gas deals are business-as-usual. Some 'priority'.
When the public reject his ideas, Gillingham insults their intelligence. Why did they oppose Frits Bolkestein's appalling services directive, which threatened wages and vital protections? Because people loathe Polish plumbers, and 'Bolkestein' sounds like 'Frankenstein'. Why did they mobilise against TTIP? Because campaigners spread scares about chlorinated chicken.
On austerity, technocracy, the democratic deficit and Europe's abandoned social model, Gillingham's scholarship is at least offering a window, albeit slanted, on EU history. But his blinkers and biases are inescapable, plaguing page after page. For guidance on the EU referendum, look elsewhere.

Hobbies are a great way to engage your kids in some extra activities. Not only for kids but for parent also it is a good way to learn something new and discover one's own inborn passion. All it requires is some spare time, interest and a small effort in the right direction from the parent's side.
Sometimes hobbies take shape of passion and turn into a profession. Don't mistake hobbies to be just painting or fine arts. It can also be theatre, dancing, sports etc. Just make sure that you obsereve your child carefully to know his areas of interest.
Here are a few ways you can help your kids develop hobbies:
- Observe your kids in their free time:See what interests your child in their free time and encourage them. For example, if your child scribbles with pens and colours in their free time, help them discover their talent and hone skills.
- See what they see on TV:TV plays a vital role in kids' life as kids get to learn a lot from the kind of programmes they watch. For example, if your kid watches dancing shows, you should probably enrol them in dance classes. Encourage their passion and guide them to move ahead in the field.
- Share your hobby with them:Sharing your hobby will act as a motivation for them. Kids like to imitate their elders and more specifically their parents. If they see their parents following their passion and hobby then it forms positive impression on them. It can be as simple as gardening or cooking or even a sport or outdoor activity.
- Check with the teachers:Always check with your kids' teacher to know about their interests and performance. These days, kids spend half of their time in school under teachers' supervision. Teachers know their kids more and can help you understand what interests your child. So next time you are at a parent-teacher meeting, ask them if they can tell you your child's favorite subject or activities. You can then help your child explore more activities based on that knowledge.
- Expose them to different activities:Always introduce your child to different activities to widen their horizon. They may lose interest in one activity with time but they will have something else to carry forward with.

Have an Epic Christmas at Kenny Rogers Roasters

"I am committed to helping others and am honored to be in a position to do both. My experiences, more than anything, have ingrained in me the understanding that it is not how much you gain in life but how much you give that matters.

Harvard | Union
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's hockey team returns to action after a month off in upstate New York this weekend. The Crimson will face the Rensselaer Engineers on Friday, Jan. 5 at 6 p.m., before heading over to Union for a 3 p.m. contest on Saturday.
Last Time Out
This Friday's matchup will mark 30 days since the Crimson last touched the ice for competition against Dartmouth. In its final tilt of the 2017 calendar year, Harvard edged the hosts 1-0 with a late third period goal from Val Turgeon.
After a scoreless 40 minutes, Val Turgeon broke the silence with a bang, scoring the game-winner with just 6:23 left in regulation. After Chelsea Ziadie picked the puck off the boards in the d-zone, Turgeon carried it down the ice and fired it from inside the right circle over Christie Honor's glove.
Between the pipes, Beth Larcom made 28 saves, her fourth highest of the season, and earned her first shutout of the season.
Neither Harvard or Dartmouth was successful on the power play, the Crimson going 0-for-3 and the Big Green going 0-for-5 on the man advantage.
Harvard outshot Dartmouth 32-28 overall, including 13-7 in the final frame.
Kaitlin Tse led the defense, accruing three of 14 total blocks by the blue line crew.
Finish Strong
This season, Harvard has shown its resilience and ability to outlast its opponents in the third period. In the final 20 minutes of the game, Harvard is outscoring its opponents 18-7 and has maintained a +47 shot margin, putting 141 pucks on net while holding opponents to just 94.
All five of rookie Brooke Jovanovich's goals have come in the third period while five of Kat Hughes' seven goals have come in the third period including two of her three against New Hampshire on Nov. 25.
Additionally, four of Harvard's eight power-play goals have come in the third period and four of seven game-winners have been notched in the final 20 minutes.
Scoring Against the Engineers
Val Turgeon is the only member on the current roster to find the back of the net against the Engineers. In the series finale, Turgeon potted a goal late in the first to tie the score at 1 heading into first intermission.
Kat Hughes and Haley Mullins have both notched an assist in contests against RPI during their respective tenures.
Tse Overseas
Junior defenseman Kaitlin Tse will miss the weekend series against Rensselaer and Union as she dons the jersey for the Canadian National Women's Development Team at the 2018 Nations Cup. The tournament is being held Jan. 3-6 in Füssen, Germany and will feature teams from Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and Russia in addition to Canada.
The 21-member Team Canada roster includes 18 NCAA Division I players, with eight hailing from the ECAC.
Tse previously played for Team Canada in the 2015 IIHF U18 World Championships where her team earned silver. The Toronto, Ontario native was also a member of Team Canada for the 2015 U18 Summer Series and the 2016 Summer Series against Team USA. At the 2016 Summer Series in Calgary, Tse competed against fellow Crimson skaters Sydney Daniels and Becca Gilmore.
In the 2018 Nations Cup opener, Tse notched an assist on a goal from Boston University's Victoria Bach in a 3-2 loss to Finland. On Thursday, Team Canada fell to Russia by a 2-1 decision. Tse and the Canadian National Women's Development Team will play their final games of the 2018 Nations Cup on Saturday, Jan. 6. Its opponent will be determined after the outcomes of Thursday and Friday's group B matchups between Germany, Sweden and Switzerland.
Canada has won gold at the Nations Cup 11 times, most recently in 2016.
Approaching 100
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, senior captain Haley Mullins will play her 100th career game in the Crimson jersey on Saturday at Union.
Also en route to 100 games is senior Chelsea Ziadie, who currently has 83 career games under her belt. If Ziadie makes an appearance in each of the remaining games this season, she will hit the 100 games mark in the season finale on the road at Clarkson.
Team NWHL
Four former Harvard players were selected to represent the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) in a two-game series against Team USA in preparation for the Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea in February.
Jillian Dempsey (Boston Pride), Miye D'Oench (Metropolitan Riveters), Sarah Edney (Buffalo Beauts) and Michelle Picard (Metropolitan Riveters) will once again play for the same jersey on Jan. 13 and 15 in Wesley Chapel, Fla.
All 22 players on the Team NWHL roster graduated from NCAA Division I institutions, including 10 from ECAC Hockey institutions.
Now in her third year in the NWHL, Dempsey leads the Pride in scoring this season. As a senior at Harvard, she was a finalist for the 2013 Patty Kazmaier Award. Dempsey played for Team USA in the 2012 IIHF World Championships and in the 2011 Four Nations Cup.
D'Oench is tied for second in the league this season in goals (with Rebecca Russo) and points (with Courtney Burke). She was part of the U18 U.S Women's National team in 2012. She played in 135 games in four years at Harvard and had 64 goals and 58 assists for 122 points.
A first overall selection in the CWHL Draft and former member of the Canadian National Team, Edney is in her first season in the NWHL. She is 1-3-4 in 7 games with the Beauts. In her senior season at Harvard, Edney was named Best Defender in the ECAC.
The 6th overall pick in the 2015 NWHL Draft, Picard was a part of Team USA that captured silver at the 2014 Olympics, and won gold in 2013, 2015 and 2016 at the World Championships. At Harvard, she was captain in her junior and senior years.
New Team, Same Role
After serving as team captain during her junior and senior seasons at Harvard, Michelle Picard was selected to captain Team NWHL in its series with Team USA next week.
"Shelly Picard is the ideal person to lead Team NWHL," said Haley Moore, General Manager of Team NWHL. "She is a proven leader from her time in Harvard, has extensive experience in the National Team program, and she has a wonderful perspective on and off the ice. There are many leaders on this team, but we felt strongly that Shelly was worthy of the honor of wearing the C."
Series Sweeps
So far this season, Harvard has swept the season series with both Dartmouth and Princeton. At home, the Crimson polished off the Big Green and Tigers by 4-1 scores, while on the road, the winning margin was smaller, with 1-0 and 3-2 victories respectively.
The last time Harvard swept more than two opponents in a season was during the 2015-16 campaign when the Crimson swept Colgate, Union and Yale during the regular season.
Over the next three weeks, Harvard will open the 2018 season series with six teams, including Rensselaer, Union, No. 4/4 Colgate, No. 5/5 Cornell, No. 3/3 Clarkson and No. 10/10 St. Lawrence
The Road Ahead
After enjoying the comfort of the Bright-Landry Hockey Center for eight of the first 12 games of the season, the Crimson will hit the road for seven of its first nine games in the new year.
This season, Harvard is even at 2-2-0 in road contests and has earned one shutout in an opponents' arena.
The Storm Brewing
Coming up, Harvard will face five-straight top-10 opponents. The Crimson will begin the stint with a road trip to No. 4/4 Colgate and No. 5/5 Cornell. Harvard will make the return trip across town to No. 2/2 Boston College mid-week before hosting No. 3/3 Clarkson and No. 10/10 St. Lawrence the following weekend.
The five-game streak marks the longest stretch of ranked opponents since before the 2013-14 season.
Harvard has posted a winning record in each of its first three months of action.
Beginning in October, the Crimson went 2-1-0 (.667), reversing its 1-2-0 record during the opening stanza of 2016-17. Harvard continued its success in November, going 3-2-1 (.583) before rounding out 2017 with a 2-1-0 (.667) record.
Ivy League Network
The Ivy League Network returns for a fifth season as the home for all live streaming and on-demand video content for each of the conference's eight institutions. Broadcast in full HD and featuring a live score bug and play-by-play and color commentary, the Ivy League Network provides fans with unprecedented access to the Ancient Eight.

This section features an occasional series of informal interviews with individuals associated with the music at St George's Chapel.
In this first edition, we meet Andrew Scott who tunes and maintains the organ in St George's Chapel.
Who are you, and who do you work for?
My name is Andrew Scott and I work for Harrison and Harrison Organ Builders, who are based in Durham.
How long have you worked for them?
I've worked for Harrisons for 16 years now.
Tell us a little bit about how you came to work for an organ builder.
I was fortunate enough to be a chorister under a retired Cathedral organist in a parish church, Christ Church, North Shields, where I come from, and he was Diocesan Organ Advisor. I got very enthusiastic about the organ and at the age of 13 decided that when I left school I was going to be an organ builder, and here we are today.
What is involved in learning to become a tuner and builder?
We have a very structured apprenticeship in Durham where during the 4 years of the apprenticeship you spend time learning every area of the craft. Not many people specialise in tuning and voicing because we try to get people who wanted to go into that field to show willing, so for the first year you'll be spending time holding notes for a tuner, making trackers, and then eventually going on to leathering mortars and leathering bellows, and then going out tuning, and voicing in the workshop.
What would you say is the largest project that you have worked on to date?
Probably Stockholm City Hall which they say is the largest organ in Northern Europe (Northern Europe not being very big!), which is a big 5 manual organ we restored a couple of years ago.
What else do you do when you're not being an organ builder?
Well, I spend a lot of time in churches, as I'm also a church musician and I play the organ and direct choirs and I was very privileged to be able to bring my choir here [to St George's] last year to sing for the Sunday services in the choir's holiday.
Do you have any further ambitions?
Well, I've been tuning the organ here at St George's for 11 years so its been great in that time, but further ambition, I'm very happy in the role that I am now, being able to look after the organ here, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, the Royal Festival Hall, but also the smaller organs in the smaller Parish Churches as well because they are just as important as the likes of St George's.

Speak my Mind
When I woke up this morning, I feel so different. Long time ago, I always think when this time will come. And when it finally come, what will happen? Am I gonna be sad? But No.. No.. No.. I feel Free... the first morning in my life after 18 months, I wake up without feel anxiety anymore.
The great people will be missed but the bad people will be my strength to go to the next step. My only hope is they won't do that to other person anymore. I have lots of great friends there who I know like and love me but because of that small poisons, I have to leave. I love myself more than everything. I won't sacrifice my body and my mind.
For the bully or domineering person or rascal or oppressor or whatever you want to call it, I just want to let you know, " If you don't want to get slap by somebody else, please don't slap other people!" Karma always watching. And I already forgive you. I am on the process to forget because I cannot control my body and brain coz every time I went to that place, my heart beating like crazy and I couldn't control it.
I hope someday we can see each other in different situation. But for now, I feel my freedom and my mom just cook some "Kentang Kecap", my favorite indonesian food. Thank you for read my diary.

GraceInside Announces Chaplaincy Changes at Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women
As God calls Chaplain Vera Rhyne to retirement, mid-February, a new chaplain will take the helm at Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. Chaplain Lorrie Wajciechowski will begin her service in training with Chaplain Rhyne and take over solo on February 20th.
We wish Chaplain Rhyne Godspeed and thank her for her many years with GraceInside. We celebrate what God has accomplished through her at James River Correctional Center and Fluvanna, as well.
Chaplain Lorrie transfers to FCCW from Buckingham Correctional Center where she has served quite successfully as the chaplain. Although sad to leave her BCC family, Chaplain Lorrie is excited to bring her energy, joyful spirit and love for the women to Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. Even better, Chaplain Lorrie is no stranger to FCCW. Since Jan 1, she has served as a grant funded chaplain focusing on the sick and isolated ladies in the infirmary. Chaplain Lorrie is eager to make the change and wrap her heart and arms around the ministry at FCCW.
GraceInside hopes to host a "meet and greet" before too long so the local community, volunteers and those committed to sustaining chaplaincy at FCCW have the opportunity to meet her. Stay tuned – both for information on what Chaplain Lorrie will be doing and on how to meet her and become involved!

I've been watching different interpretations of the phrase "clean eating" and scratching my head a bit. Clean eating has more interpretations than many other "diets" out there, and I like to think that's because it's is an eating lifestyle, not a diet. But are you making clean eating work for you rather than trying to change your life for clean eating? And are you confused by what eating clean means exactly?
What is Clean Eating?
If recipes like "clean eating fudge" put a hopeful smile on your face, think again. Some websites call anything without processed ingredients "clean eating." But to me, clean eating consistitutes foods that are closest to their natural state and include these qualities:
- Low in fat, particularly saturated fat (and zero trans fat)
- Low in sodium
- Low in refined sugar
- Shorter ingredient list
- High in fiber
- High in vitamins in minerals (nutrient dense)
The clean eating version that has worked for my clients and myself is a lifestyle – it includes eating consistently, following the 80/20 principle, advance prep, reading food labels, a combination of complex carbs, healthy fats, and lean proteins at every meal, and generally just eating nutrient-dense foods instead of commercially packaged foods. When you follow these principles, you automatically limit the amount of processed or unnatural ingredients.
My version of clean eating is to limit sugar and fat, even if it's "natural." In my world, eating clean means striving to get as many natural foods and as few unprocessed foods as I can. Notice the words striving to. There's no way I would realistically follow a strict diet or eliminate certain ingredients altogether; therefore, I've found ways to eat as natural as I can without becoming obsessive.
Obviously, scrubbing your food to make it "pure" is a bogus way to describe clean eating and if someone wants to demonize an eating method, there's always a way. And any diet you obsess about it isn't a good one (people do that with all kinds of diets).
My Own Story
Put simply, I don't eat junk – chips, sweets, fast food, etc. – because I don't want to, not because I'm on a restrictive diet. I remember what if felt like when I used to eat junk and I don't want to feel that way again.
My eating lifestyle has evolved over a period of years; it didn't change overnight. In my twenties I ate cheeseburgers, candy bars, and beer almost every day. I also suffered from irritable bowel syndrome and debilitating digestive pain and lethargy. I had high cholesterol too, and I didn't even consider that my diet could alleviate any of these symptoms. It wasn't until my mid-thirties that I learned about clean eating and my symptoms disappeared.
So I do remember what it's like to have little awareness of what you eat. I remember wanting to satisfy cravings and hunger that was out of control due to low blood sugar. I had no idea that what I was eating was making me feel terrible physically and raising my bad cholesterol too.
Although I'll indulge on special occasions, I've lost all appetite and cravings for junk. That, coupled with memories of what junk makes me feel like is what keeps my clean eating lifestyle going day after day.
I should mention that I don't believe in "good" foods and "bad" foods… I believe we can simply make healthy choices. That's it.
YOUR Story
Your background and reasons for wanting to eat clean are different from mine. When I say make healthy choices, I mean to educate yourself about what makes you healthier and feel the best. You're doing that right now by reading this blog. Keep going and find out what works for you instead of trying to adapt your body and life to a rigid set of eating rules.
If you're on a mission to lose weight, you can abide by temporary calorie restriction until you've reached your goal weight. After that, studies show that trying to maintain a strict diet is almost always unsuccessful (unless you're a bodybuilding competitor who employs the use of a coach) and lots of regular moderate-intensity exercise keeps the weight off the best (as much as 300 minutes per week).
If you're at a point of weight maintenance, you already know you need to be selective about what you eat. If you choose clean eating, adapt it to your own schedule and lifestyle instead of making your lifestyle fit clean eating. That's the only way you'll sustain this eating method over the long term.
Are you following a "diet" or eating lifestyle? Is it working for you or do you need to give yourself permission to change it up?

First time in 23 years FAA issues Production Certificate to a new company making jet engines in America
BURLINGTON, North Carolina, U.S.A., March 17, 2015 – Honda Aero, Inc. (HAI) announced today that it has been issued a PART 21 Production Certificate from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). HAI is responsible for the production of the GE Honda Aero Engines (GHAE) HF120 turbofan engine that powers the HondaJet and other GHAE customers' aircraft.
"This is a great achievement for our team of Honda Aero associates and an important milestone in our effort to meet the needs of customers for the HF120 engine," said HAI President Masahiko Izumi. "Much work has gone into preparing for this certification, and we will continue working to support GE Honda Aero Engines as they prepare for entry into service with the HF120 engine."
Initial production of the HF120 engines took place at GE's Lynn facility in Massachusetts. At the end of 2014, HAI started assembly of the HF120 under GHAE's Type Certification (TC) and with FAA oversight. With this program milestone, HAI's Burlington facility can now produce engines under the HAI Production Certificate. HAI is the first company to be awarded a FAA Production Certificate for jet engines in the last 23 years of aviation history.
In addition to production of the HF120, HAI Burlington was chosen as the official maintenance, repair, and overhaul site for the engine. This provides the flexibility to better respond to customer demands.
About Honda Aero, Inc.
Honda Aero, Inc. (HAI) conducts parts procurement, assembly and testing of jet engines at its 82,000-square-foot facility, located adjacent to the Burlington-Alamance County regional airport in Burlington, North Carolina. HAI will also provide engine maintenance and overhaul services for its customers at its Burlington facility.
About GE Honda Aero Engines
GE and Honda formed a 50/50 joint venture in 2004, called GE Honda Aero Engines, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The joint company integrates the resources of GE Aviation and Honda Aero, Inc., a Honda subsidiary established to manage its aviation engine business.
About the HF120 Turbofan Engine
Rated at 2,095 pounds of thrust, the HF120 engine sets new standards of performance in fuel efficiency, durability, and low noise and emissions. HF120 technologies include:
- A wide-chord, compound, swept front fan blisk, along with composite outlet guide vanes.
- A high-temperature titanium impeller in the compressor for maximum engine pressure ratio and stall-free performance.
- A compact reverse-flow configuration combustor and single-stage air-blast fuel nozzles.
- Advanced materials in the high-pressure (HP) turbine as well as a two-stage low-pressure (LP) turbine and a counter rotating HP and LP spool shaft system.

text: ... Was Fontanills really Wall Street's most respected hedge-fund manager? I asked the optionsXpress chief. "He ran a hedge fund that generated very nice returns for the years it was open," Fisher said. After saying Fontanills -- who still runs seminars under contract -- isn't an optionsXpress employee, Fisher's firm sent me 17 books by Fontanills and put me in touch with Chicago Board Options Exchange educator Jim Bittman, who said he taught similar techniques. OptionsXpress gave me excerpts from a 2001 letter that Fontanills sent to investors in his Pinnacle Investments of America fund. These showed gains of 48% for 1998 and 83% for 1999, and a 24% loss for 2000. There was no mention of how much money was involved. The fund's account custodian was a Salomon Smith Barney broker in Hallandale, Fla., named Jose A. Gomez -- Fontanills' friend and cousin. But e-mails from Fontanills to Gomez's boss on Sept. 10, 2001, show that Fontanills was trying to stop Smith Barney from liquidating his fund's account. "This will cause serious losses," wrote Fontanills, "and will essentially put us out of business." Neither Smith Barney nor the Options Clearing Corporation knew how to price his positions, Fontanills argued. Fontanills says he prevented big losses by moving the account. In 2002, Smith Barney fired Gomez and the NASD then barred him for failing to provide information to investigators. (Barron's couldn't determine the nature of the inquiry.) Fontanills ultimately closed the hedge fund, he says. "Managing money for other people is different from managing your own money," he told me in an interview. The Bottom Line OptionsXpress shares look overvalued after a strong run. The firm's bid to boost growth by buying a seminar group seems ill-advised, based on the record of the group's founder. But Fontanills came to grief managing his own money, too. In June 2003, he opened a New York account with the French-owned broker Fimat. By November, according to a complaint Fimat filed in Manhattan's federal court, Fontanills had run up losses of more than $6 million. When he refused to honor margin calls, Fimat liquidated his positions and sued him for the $6 million. Fontanills again argued Fimat didn't know how to price his sophisticated options strategy or calculate the margin requirements. The dispute wound up before arbitrators, who ordered Fontanills to pay Fimat $1.8 million with costs. He paid. ... After 10 years of applying his Optionetics strategies, Fontanills' wealth wasn't what you might expect. When opening his Fimat account in 2003, he listed his net worth as $4 million. Four months earlier, his sworn financial statement in a Massachusetts divorce court represented his personal net worth as $7,150, plus another $473,500 in a trading business. His annual income, he told the court, was less than $15,000. "Both financial statements were correct at the time they were made," Fontanills said in an e-mail last week. He has a new trading business, incorporated in the name of his current wife, called the Robo Trader Algorithmic Trading Fund. ... barrons

We report the results of intracarotid (IC) cisplatinum and intravenous carmustine (BCNU) in 26 patients with supratentorial malignant glioma and recurrent low grade glioma. A response rate of 53.84% (95% confidence interval 33.3%-73.4%) was found.
The median survival for the whole group was 11 months (range 3-70), with 35% of patients surviving for 2 years. At the present time, 5 patients are still alive, with a median follow up of 68 months (range 56-70).
Neurological toxicity has been low and transient, being attributable to the technical degree of care in catheter positioning, cisplatin dosage and the technique of drug administration into the carotid artery.

Walk your way to better health
Research in the 1960s found the average person took just 3500 to 5000 steps per day, and that if they increased their steps to 10,000 per day they would burn 20 per cent of their caloric intake and also become healthier, leaner people!
Decades later, the World Health Organisation and the National Heart Foundation of Australia have taken this research on board and now recommend that we all take 10,000 steps a day to improve our health and reduce the risk of disease.
Why walking is so good for you
Here are some great reasons to add 10,000 steps into your day:
- Walking is a low impact, effective way to lose weight when combined with a lower calorie diet.
- Walking helps to reduce blood pressure.
- Walking reduces the risks of heart disease and stroke.
- Walking improves your cardiovascular fitness.
- Walking increases muscle strength, helps create stronger bones, improves your balance and increases your endurance.
- Not walking or moving is hazardous to your health. Researchers studied a group of men who typically walked 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1350 per day. (After two weeks, it was revealed that the men's bodies had become worse at metabolising sugars and fats, and that their distribution of body fat began to migrate toward their mid-section.)
Easy steps to make it happen
Follow these steps and start your own 10,000-step challenge for better health:
- Get motivated: The rationale behind "10,000 steps" a day is very simple –– it's about staying motivated. Instead of viewing exercise as something to slot into a defined period each day, aiming to achieve 10,000 steps daily encourages you to keep moving throughout the day, actively seeking opportunities to add in some more steps here and there so that you accumulate steps throughout the day.
- Purchase a pedometer. To keep track of your steps, you'll need a pedometer. These can be purchased as a separate item or you can find them in such items as MP3 players and even in some pairs of shoes. Choose whatever is most cost-effective and practical for your needs; pedometers themselves are fairly inexpensive. When selecting one, check how it clips onto your clothing or belt to make sure it's comfortable, secure and durable.
- Choose a goal. If you're just getting started, 10,000 steps a day may seem enormous. Just begin walking as much as feels comfortable to you, then aim to walk in increments of 1000 to 2000 steps more each week until you're comfortably at 10,000 steps a day.
- Divide your daily walking between active walking and incidental walking and movement. The aim behind 10,000 steps a day isn't just about deliberate walking but it's also about how much extra movement you can accrue throughout the day. Look for opportunities to walk instead of drive as much as is practical.
- Plan daily walks. Walking is an easy, enjoyable exercise and is a great way to stay engaged with your local environment.
- Increase the intensity of your walks by doing such things as climbing hills, walking in sand along the beach, interchanging between fast and moderate walking paces and walking longer distances as you become more comfortable with walking.
- Keep a log of your daily actions. Whether it's with a digital app, computer spreadsheet or paper notebook and pen, a lot of your motivation will continue precisely because you can see the results in real form. It can also help you to see which days had reduced steps, helping you to increase the steps another day or to see any sliding back into sedentary habits that might be occurring.
Encourage the entire household to participate in a 10,000 steps a day challenge if you're concerned about the sedentary lifestyle of your family. Put up an inspirational chart for everyone to log their steps openly, and model the desired behaviour yourself.
Walking 10,000 steps a day is a realistic goal that is achievable by people of all fitness abilities, sizes and ages, so why not start your own challenge today!

VMWARE Server - anybody here use it
Hi all
Now I have a nice 16GB QUAD machine at home I was thinking of using VMWARE SERVER to fire up several Virtual machines (XP / W7) . One of these would be RDP enabled - logging on to this one would allow access to the rest of the internal network.
I'm thinking of using windows server 2008 R2 as the host. This would only run the virtualisation software as the virtual machines would be doing the actual "work".
Anybody tried setting up this type of system whether using W7 or a server such as W2008 server.
The advantage of using vmware server is that you can then address the virtual machines remotely just as if they were different physical machines.
The difference between vmware server and vmware workstation is that with vmware worksation you need to logon to your HOST machine first to be able to access any virtual machines on it.
I've a fair bit of experience with virtualisation but setting up something like this is definitely new for me so I hope someone can give me guidance on what to do.
The host say Windows 2008 will be running several Virtual machines
one of these will have a static internal IP address which the router will then port forward the RDP request from a remote computer. I should be able then to logon to this virtual machine and have access to the rest of the internal network if I've set it up correctly.
I'm using no-ip (No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP) for resolving dynamic addresses from the ISP. This works fine.
Any help greatfully appreciated -- networking is a bit of a "grey area" to me.

Yes, I use VMWare Server 2.0 daily at my job. It's installed onto my work laptop.
You don't have to run a server based OS on the host. My work laptop has Vista Enterprise on it and my home machine has Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 at the present time and it's worked just fine in both places.
You can easily do all of the things that you mentioned. The only real drawback of virtual machines is general lack of 3d support for the most part. And while some vmproducts do offer some (Sun Virtual Box), it still won't run the Aero interface on a guest and wouldn't be suitable for playing any games. But other than those limitations, I use virtual machines a ton at home and at work. I don't simply know what I would do without them.

HI there
Thanks for the reply.
I'm glad you mentioned you don't have to use a server to install vmware server.
I don't need 3d or video stuff on the VM's so thats fine for me.
I was playing around with W2008 server R2 (x-64) as the host but there just doesn't seem to be ANY WAY to get the INTEL chipset G31 installed with the ICH7 southbridge stuff. Keep getting message "Operating System not supported".
Now since the motherboard is a fairly common Gigabyte G31 based chipset version I must be doing something really stupid -- everything else installed fine including a few tweaks to get W2008 server to behave more like a workstation. Got Sound and even a TV card to work (but I just can't get the stupid video adapter to work in native resolution - 1680 X 1050).
I had no trouble with W7 X-64 installing the drivers.
I sometimes wonder who actually tests stuff before releasing it to the general public -- my copy of W2008 server is a legal Technet downloaded copy not a "torrented" one.
|My System Specs
|15 Aug 2009
Yeah, give it a shot on a workstation. I've been using it this way for years. Technically it's not supported....but then again it's a free application and I don't call them for support anyway. It's been darn solid for me.
In my experience, trying to use a server based OS as a workstation usually doesn't work as well as people often hope.
And it's not W2008 with the problem above, but more a problem with the drivers released as they were not expecting nor understand exactly how to handle 2008. And it's very unlikely that Gigabyte would ever release an update for 2008 drivers for this mainboard as it's not intended as a server mainboard thus they don't feel the need to support it as such.

Hi there
I like the idea of running it on a Workstation OS but I'm crazy enough to want to try using a server OS -- its an area I have almost zero experience in and have got a bit of time at the moment.
I managed to hunt down (finally) a driver but DO NOT USE THOSE DRIVER HUNT programs -- they will always insist you PAY A FEE to install the drivers -- real SNEAKWARE.
I found also to make the server a bit easier to operate I follwed some guidelines in this post. This gets rid of the "annoyance factors" when using a server at home say rather than in a corporation where you need all the security and prompts enabled.
Convert W2008 server to a workstation -- I skipped the multiboot bit but the rest is great stuff.
Convert your Windows Server 2008 R2 to a Workstation! - Multiboot Installation
My installation vmware server (free) like greased lightning where I've got 4 virtual machines all up and running.
I thought W7 was fast but if you just want to run a basic OS and then use Virtual machines as your production environment then I'd give W2008 server a go. If I can install it anybody can.
Other than IE explorer and vmware server I have added direct X and DVD playing facilities + a TV card since virtual machines don't handle 3d Video at all yet.
Very satisfied with this -- W7 X-64 and XP Pro SP3 as VM's run almost as fast as native under this setup.

i'm not sure this is the apt thread to post this. Being my first post, pls bear with me.
I am planning to get a new notepad very soon. And my work requires me to utilize multiple Os. Does Vmware work seamlessly on Win 7 Home Premium? Or is there some difference from Win 7 Prof/ultimate? The doubt is based on the knowledge that the new XP mode in Win 7 is only available in the Professional edition and above.
Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the forums.
I wouldnt like to use the word seamless as that word tends to go with W7 XP Mode VPC. I don't think there are any restrictions on installing VMware Server 2.0, it's free so download it and give it a shot.
|My System Specs
|24 Dec 2009
Thanks aem.
Sorry, if my question overlaps, but my exact doubt is if I'll have any problems with the Home Premium when installing VmWare?? I'll mostly work on Vms alone and, probably, just use the Win7 for entertainment, surfing purposes. So Home Premium suffices for my needs and its less costlier than the Professional.
The processor I'm planning to get (P8700) does support the virtualization technologies, so ideally, I don't see a problem. Though I would really like to be sure before I put in my money.

Garmin 64s is something like an electronic outdoor brother. I still use paper maps as well, but only as "overview maps". I use GPS maps in terrain. Garmin 64s is quite a big device, but it is excellent. It has high-sensitivity GPS and GLONASS receiver and 3-axis electronic compass with barometric altimeter. It is waterproof, temperature proof and almost unbreakable. There is only one thing to improve – the screen. After first year the screen was full of thin scratches so I have started to use screen protective foil on it. Sometimes, if you need some special function, it takes a while to find it in the menu. But generally it is the best choice to buy. Alternative (cheaper) device I would buy is a Garmin eTrex 30x – may be in my next life.
Globalstar Spot is a very useful device especially if you travel alone. It communicates with the Globalstar satellites and sends your position (and movement) to the special map site. You can send a private link to your family and friends and they can watch your outdoor steps. There is a messaging button and an emergency button in this device as well. It also cooperates with rescue services. You can use several Globalstar services, but all of them are commercial. I use an older version of this device. A new version is available now (2016) – SPOT Gen3. If you think about it, find out the maps' coverage first. In Himalayas (Nepal) and Patagonia it does not work properly, there is bad coverage. But for example it is good in Europe, Island, Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan). (more…)

If you want to use commercial Garmin maps, you probably have to buy them. They are not cheap. But there are a lot of alternatives that will help you with orientation and navigation on your trek. You could download (stolen!) commercial Garmin maps for older Garmin devices (for example Garmin Dakota), but it is not easy to use them in the new Garmin devices such as the Garmin 64 series and newer. I work with the Garmin 64s device. I bought some commercial GPS maps but mostly I work with free map alternatives. This post deals with my favorite GPS map websites.

I made a decision to share some of my experience I have gathered during my travels. I used to use basic equipment during my trips ten years ago – usually a map (a paper one) and a compass. Today…today everything is much more sophisticated, hi-tech, smart and also expensive. There are many tools, gear, apps and on-line technologies you can use for comfortable planning of your trek and for navigation in the middle of wild mountains.
This article deals with apps, windows software and on-line tools for outdoor activities. It is 2016 right now, so if you read this post later, some of these apps and tools may not exist anymore. I won´t write about the best apps in the world either – I am going to write about apps and technologies I currently use. I am going to write about the maps and gear as well, in different posts later on. (more…)

Jarocki earns her first weekly honor (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Adrienne Jarocki of the No. 2 Harvard women's fencing team has been named the National Rookie of the Week, CollegeFencing360 announced Wednesday afternoon, after leading the Crimson with a 13-2 performance at the St. John's Invitational.
Jarocki was an intricate part of Harvard's sabre squad that went 33-12 to pace the Crimson's 2-3 performance at the invite. The freshman swept her opponents against fourth-ranked Penn State, second seeded Columbia and No. 10 St. John's. She posted 2-1 records against No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 5 Ohio State, respectively. The Middle Village, N.Y., local finished the day with a plus-29 indicator after allowing zero touches against the Lions and only five in her three bouts on the strip versus the Red Storm.
At 8-3, the Crimson is off to its best start under head coach Peter Brand since matching that number to open the 2010-11 season. Jarocki has helped Harvard continue its home dominance with a 22-5 victory over Tufts Dec. 5 notching the team's 34th-straight win in Cambridge, and aided the Crimson's 5-0 record at the Tradition Tournament Dec. 8 with a 13-2 mark.
Harvard returns to action when the squad looks to capture its fourth Ivy League title in Providence, R.I., Feb. 8-9.

The Climate Group congratulated President Obama on his election victory and called for renewed action to address climate change and its devastating impacts.
Amy Davidsen, US Executive Director for The Climate Group said: "We congratulate the President on his re-election, and look forward to working with him and his cabinet to meet our shared goal of addressing climate change in a way that will help grow the US economy. The business community now stands ready to help him adopt the policies needed to meet his commitment of reducing emissions 83% by 2050, in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."
The Climate Group pledged to support stronger legislation and other initiatives around climate change.
Evan Juska, Head of US Policy at The Climate Group said: "In his first term, the President came into office with a mandate for change. But today, his mandate will be to begin to unite what is currently a very divided country. Only then will the cooperation needed to solve tough issues like climate change become possible once again."
Climate policy options currently under consideration for President Obama's second term include a national clean energy standard, which would require utilities to source 84% of their electricity from clean sources by 2035; a revenue-neutral carbon tax with revenues raised going to reduce other existing taxes, such as personal and corporate income tax; and continued regulation of carbon dioxide emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency, which recently proposed rules that would effectively ban the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the US.
The success of any of these policies will also require a greater level of interest and concern about climate change on the part of the US public. While the extreme weather of the past two years has caused an uptick in Americans' awareness of the issue, this trend will need to continue in order to provide the motivation required for Republicans and Democrats in Congress to work together towards a solution.
