Transition to Cubs like night and day for Ruggiano
MESA, Ariz. -- There have been some free agents in the past who sign with the Cubs and relish the idea of playing at Wrigley Field, but have a tough time adjusting to day games. That won't be a problem for Justin Ruggiano.
"I was excited as soon as I found out [I was traded to the Cubs]," Ruggiano said. "One, I love the city, and two, I love day games. I've got kids. We can stay on the same schedule with day games.
MESA, Ariz. -- There have been some free agents in the past who sign with the Cubs and relish the idea of playing at Wrigley Field, but have a tough time adjusting to day games. That won't be a problem for Justin Ruggiano.
"I was excited as soon as I found out [I was traded to the Cubs]," Ruggiano said. "One, I love the city, and two, I love day games. I've got kids. We can stay on the same schedule with day games.
"I'm just excited about the change and a new ballpark and to hit in a more hitter-friendly ballpark than Marlins Park," he said.
Just check his day-night splits and you can see why Ruggiano is thrilled at playing for the Cubs. Last season, he batted .303 in 40 day games, .181 at night. In his career, the right-handed hitter has a .291 average in the daylight, .231 under the lights.
He doesn't have as many at-bats at Wrigley Field. Ruggiano has only played five games there. He batted .262 at huge Marlins Park, which was his home field the last two seasons and features a large and brightly colored sculpture in center that lights up whenever a Marlins player hits a homer.
"The few times it went off, it was [entertaining]," Ruggiano said.
He's very happy to see bricks and ivy.
With the addition of Ruggiano, acquired in a trade for Brian Bogusevic, the Cubs have another right-handed bat along with Junior Lake to complement the left-handed hitters, Nate Schierholtz and Ryan Sweeney. Schierholtz platooned in right last season, and batted .262 against right-handed pitchers compared to .170 against lefties. In 2010, he reversed the trend, batting .294 in 51 at-bats against lefties and .227 in .176 at-bats against right-handers.
Cubs manager Rick Renteria hasn't said how he'll use his outfielders. Ruggiano is OK with whatever the skipper wants to do.
"Honestly, I'm not one to talk much about playing time," Ruggiano said. "I'm not one to talk about expectations or goals. I just really like to go out and play and enjoy the game like it's a child's game and not think about why am I not in the lineup today, or why am I playing every day. I just enjoy it every day. It's a kid's game, and I really try to keep it like that."
He developed that attitude after shuttling back and forth from the Minors to the big leagues for five seasons. Last year was the first in which he was in the Majors the whole year.
"There have been so many years that I've been in the Minors, grinding it out, waiting for that opportunity and when that opportunty came full force in 2012, I remember being grateful to be here," Ruggiano said. "I know that's kind of a complacent attitude, but at the same time, it's one where I can sit back and enjoy every day for what it is. I'm always going to give 110 percent, but I want to enjoy every day.'
He made the most of his chance in 2012, batting .313 in 91 games with the Marlins.
Ruggiano was not surprised to get the news that he'd been traded. He was arbitration-eligible, and had started hearing rumors he might be moved. The Cubs have been a great fit this spring. What's made him feel comfortable?
"Getting to know Rick a little more, the hitting coaches, everyone here," Ruggiano said. "I like the challenge that we have against us right now, and I think Rick has put expectations on us. I feel like I play better with that type of mentality with the expectation of winning.
"I like his message in Spring Training that he gave to us the first day," he said of Renteria. "I think that's admirable. Playing all these years, the guys who expect something out of you are the ones you seem to play the hardest for. He'll have our backs, and that goes a long way for me. You want to play hard for somebody who will always be in your corner."
Ruggiano got that optimistic, positive, "Why not us?" vibe from Rays manager Joe Maddon. The outfielder feels the same about the Cubs this season.
"You can't count anybody out in this game," Ruggiano said. "You have to have the belief, and Joe Maddon was really good at that as well. No matter where we were -- we were down 10 games on Sept. 1 and ended up coming back and winning and making the playoffs that last game. That was an incredible experience.
"That would never have happened if it didn't start with Joe and his belief in us," he said. "He went out there every day with the expectation to win, and knowing all his guys would be out there with the same mindset, giving 100 percent and mentally into the game. He could handle a physical mistake. He was always about being aggressive. You could make a physical mistake, but the mental part of the game was the biggest thing. He was a little harder on guys if they made consistent mental mistakes. He's a cool manager to play for."
Even though the Cubs are only a few games into the Cactus League season, Ruggiano senses that Renteria has the same attitude.
"You could never tell on a day-to-day basis if we had lost 10 games or won 10 games in a row [under Maddon], and that was the best thing, and I get that same impression from Rick already," Ruggiano said. "He's said it already -- 'This is me, this is who I'm going to be all the time.' That's important."
And that applies day or night.

Senate Approves $1B Convention Center Expansion
Senate lawmakers authorized a $1 billion expansion of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on Thursday night over concerns raised by some members about the financing strategy and its potential to drain tourism dollars from other parts of the state in order to bolster only the capital city's economy.
The bill, which passed the chamber 31-6, would allow the BCEC to double its convention and exhibition space. Supporters say that would allow the city to join the upper echelon of the country's top five convention destinations without raising taxes, as the bonds will be funded from existing tourism taxes.
Sen. Brian Joyce, a Milton Democrat and chair of the Senate's Bonding Committee, said the Senate version changed several elements of the House bill have been criticized in the public by requiring the BCEC to adhere to transparency requirements, and specifically banning the quasi-public agency from using borrowed taxpayer funds to subsidize a private hotel — which he said the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority had not planned to do.
The bill would also reduce the term of the bonds from 40 to 30 years, which Joyce said would reduce the cost by $480 million, and would require environmentally friendly features.
Joyce said the proponents' predictions of 2,100 new permanent jobs and significant economic impact might be overly optimistic, but said he believes the expansion will be a net benefit for the region's economy.
"Do I believe that is somewhat exaggerated? Yes," Joyce said after reading projections of job growth and economic impact. The bill would authorize $1 billion in special obligation borrowing for what lawmakers say would be a roughly 1.3 million square-foot expansion of the South Boston Seaport convention center, which convention center officials say is already the largest building in New England.
Sen. Robert Hedlund, a Weymouth republican, called for the state to support "smarter not bigger" growth and said "the whole thing about getting Boston to the top five, I think is a hard sell," noting other cities have more agreeable climates and vastly larger convention centers than the expansion would create.
Hedlund also said growing the size of the building would increase the annual subsidy the BCEC already uses and questioned using state revenues to boost the state's convention economy when infrastructure is in need of funding.
Sen. Bruce Tarr, a Gloucester republican, vociferously opposed a provision of the bill that he said would allow tourism funds to be used to secure the debt, with the potential for the treasurer in consultation with the secretary of administration and finance to raise Boston hotel room taxes to a maximum of 14 percent if the funding to pay off the debt on the project falls short.
"I think it's an unlikely event," Joyce said after the vote, claiming the security would improve the bond rating. Senate Ways and Means Chairman Stephen Brewer compared the approach to co-signing a loan, and told the News Service if the "doomsday scenario" transpires, the Legislature is "capable of moving in real time."
Tarr said the nearby Tea Party Museum could be in for "round two" if the "taxation without representation" occurs. Tarr described the overall expansion strategy as "if it doesn't first succeed, build it bigger," and said it would put at risk funding tourism attractions around the state.
Brewer said the city is a "cauldron of activity" when a convention is in town.
Senators rejected an amendment offered by Sen. Mark Montigny that would have required the Convention Center Authority to sell the naming rights to the BCEC to provide additional funding for tourism and cultural facilities.
"In comparing the Commonwealth to the rest of the country, our convention centers, facilities and hotel space pale in comparison to what other states can offer," Senate President Therese Murray said in a statement. "This expansion will allow more events, both national and international, to come to Massachusetts and help to firmly place ourselves in a cutting-edge world economy."
The bill has already cleared the House.
Montigny, a New Bedford democrat, and Patricia Jehlen, a Somerville democrat, joined the four republicans in opposing the bill.
Matt Murphy of the State House News Service contributed reporting.

NEW YORK (AP) — The more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls who remain captives of Boko Haram militants "definitely" face the danger of being raped, the U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict said Friday.
"My worry is those girls don't come back half of them pregnant," said Zainab Hawa Bangura told a luncheon at the British Residence in New York.
She was meeting with editors, including Tina Brown, and the British ambassador to the U.S. in preparation for an unprecedented global summit next week in London on sexual violence in conflict. Angelina Jolie and British Foreign Secretary William Hague will co-chair.
In this Thursday, April, 11, 2013 photo, Zainab Hawa Bangura leaves a G8 foreign ministers meeting on sexual violence against women in conflict zones, in London. Bangura says the international community needs to prepare the families of the more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls who remain captives of Boko Haram militants for their return and put psychological and other supports in place for the girls. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)
The abduction of more than 300 schoolgirls by Boko Haram militants in April shocked the world and caused outrage among Nigerians. More than 200 girls remain captive.
Bangura said the international community needs to prepare the girls' families for their return and put psychological and other supports in place for the girls.
And she told her audience that more than 2,000 girls in Nigeria already had been abducted before this case brought the situation to the world's attention.
The fate of the schoolgirls is expected to be an intense discussion at next week's summit. Some aid and advocacy groups wonder how any pregnancies from rape in such a high-profile case will affect the wider debate over access to abortion services.
U.S. foreign aid is prohibited by Congress from subsidizing abortions as a method of family planning, but advocacy groups have lobbied the Obama administration to issue an executive order saying aid could be used to provide abortions for women raped in conflict.
"It is imperative that during next week's summit, (Secretary of State John) Kerry and others address post-rape care as part of the larger conversation around sexual violence in conflict," Serra Sippel, President of the Washington-based Center for Health and Gender Equity, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
Bangura, the daughter of a Muslim cleric, was almost married off at the age of 12 in Sierra Leone but became a forceful advocate for women during the deadly conflict there. She said more than 60,000 females were raped during the violence. She said the youngest victim she advocated for was 3 years old.
On Friday, Bangura wove stories of her own background with startling details about her work persuading leaders, often male leaders, to see sexual violence as a serious issue.
She said she won Congo President Joseph Kabila's attention to the issue of sexual violence by members of his military by asking him how he would feel if his twin sister were raped.
But she said that in Somalia, a leading judge there scoffed, "In Somalia, we don't have rape."
A report released this year by her office said there is unprecedented political momentum globally to end conflict-related sexual violence, but more effort is needed at the national level.
Bangura said Friday her office is now looking at 12 priority countries, including Syria, Colombia, Bosnia and Congo.
She has said perpetrators almost never face justice.
The issue of sexual violence goes beyond women, she added.
"Today, almost 10 countries we're looking at have evidence of sexual violence against boys," she said. "In Syria, it's terrible."
Bangura also spoke of the need to fight the stigma of rape, especially in cultures where women might be blamed. In some cases, she said, women give up children born of rape because of the discrimination that follows.
She urged a higher status for women overall.
"If you don't respect your women in times of peace, you can't protect them in times of war," she said.

"Logorama is 17 minutes of Hollywood blockbuster action, rife with car chases, natural disasters, and hostage-taking, but created entirely out of real world logotypes and brand characters. In it, you'll see the Michelin Man, the Haribo kid, Bob's Big Boy, Mr. Pringle and Ronald McDonald, but in some very unfamiliar roles playing the classic movie archetypes of good guys, bad guys and foils."
An interview with Logorama film-makers Francois Alaux, Herve Crecy and Ludovic Houpain at Cannes in May 2009 explain some of the background behind this provocative piece. For example, they created the story of the film without logos and then during the "casting process" added in the logos or icons that best represented the characters they wished to develop. In their words, they wanted the audience to plunge into a fictional story that's anchored in reality by logos and trademarks.

The Particulars
No. 24 Harvard (15-2, 1-0 Ivy) returns to Ivy League play by visiting Dartmouth (4-13, 0-1) Saturday evening at 7 p.m. The Crimson is off to the best start of an Ivy League school since Princeton in 1997-98 (16-1). Harvard's 15-2 start is also the best for the program since going 16-1 to begin the 1945-46 campaign.
Live video will be available with a subscription at DartmouthSports.com. WHRB's Charlie Hobbs and Scott Reed will have the audio call on GoCrimson.com. Live statistics will also be available for the game at GoCrimson.com.
Series History
Harvard and Dartmouth first met during the 1900-01 season. The Big Green leads the all-time series, 94-79, but the Crimson has taken the last five games between the schools, including a 63-47 win at Lavietes Pavilion Jan. 7. Oliver McNally scored a season-high 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the game against the Big Green earlier this month.
Harvard's Last Time Out
The Crimson concluded non-conference play by defeating George Washington, 69-48, Saturday afternoon at Lavietes Pavilion. Steve Moundou-Missi made all seven of his field goal attempts, finishing with 16 points, while Laurent Rivard also tallied 16 points, making 3-of-4 3-point attempts. Brandyn Curry dished out seven assists, while Keith Wright contributed 11 points and eight rebounds.
Dartmouth's Last Time Out
Dartmouth topped Longwood, 83-67, Saturday afternoon. Five Big Green players reached double figures in scoring: John Golden (17 points), Jvonte Brooks (16), R.J. Griffin (14), David Rufful (13) and Gabas Maldunas (10). Golden shot 5-of-6 from long distance (.833), as Dartmouth went 10-of-16 from beyond the arc as a team (.625).
Harvard Against The Ivy League
Over the last two seasons, the Crimson boasts a 13-3 (.813) against Ivy League opponents. During that stretch, the Crimson is 5-2 (.714) against Ancient Eight opponents on the road and 8-0 at home (1.000).
Rejection List
With 30 blocks this season, Keith Wright now ranks second in program history with 136 rejections. Brian Cusworth '07 holds the Harvard record with 147 career blocks. Wright's 54 blocks last year also stand second in Harvard history for a single season. Brian Banks '78 had 59 rejections during the 1977-78 campaign.
Kyle Casey has rejected 76 blocks in his career, including 21 this season, ranking him seventh in program history in rejections.
Entering the weekend, Harvard was fourth in the nation in free throw shooting defense, as opponents are only making 61.6 percent of attempts (159-of-258). Northern Arizona (58.4) sits first in the country.
Stepping Up On D
The Crimson is allowing only 55.1 points per game this season, good for fifth in the nation in scoring defense. Wisconsin paces the nation, surrendering only 48.5 points per contest. Harvard has only allowed 70 points once and surrendered 50 or less points in eight games.
Coming Down With It
With his 15-rebound performance at Monmouth Jan. 10, Keith Wright now has 20 double digit rebound games in his career. Wright also has three double-doubles this season and has led Harvard in rebounding in 12 of 17 contests. Wright stands 10th in program history with 625 career rebounds. Harvard has outrebounded seven of its last eight opponents.
Non-Conference Victories
The Crimson has won 14 non-conference games this season, a program record. Harvard won 11 non-league games in 2009-10 and 11 non-conference contests again in 2010-11.
Entering the week, Brandyn Curry ranked 29th in the country and second in the Ivy League with 2.2 steals per game.
The Crimson is ranked No. 24 in this week's ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. Earlier this season, the Crimson became the first Ivy team ranked in the AP poll since Princeton was rated No. 8 in the final poll of the 1997-98 season. On Jan. 2, Harvard was No. 21 in the coaches poll and No. 22 in the AP poll, the highest rankings in program history.
Harvard is the only Ivy League team to have received at least one vote in a major national poll this season. The Crimson has appeared in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll in each of the last five weeks.
RPI Watch
Harvard currently sits at No. 48 in the RPI, according to collegerpi.com. The Crimson earned the highest ranking in program history, No. 14, Dec. 2, 2011.
The Crimson is 7-2 as a ranked team in program history with wins this season over Boston University, Florida Atlantic, Boston College, Saint Joseph's, Dartmouth, Monmouth and George Washington. Harvard is 4-0 at home as a ranked squad, while boasting a 3-2 record on the road when ranked nationally.
Double-Double Show
Keith Wright leads the Crimson with three double-doubles (at Holy Cross Nov. 15, Florida Atlantic Dec. 22 and at Monmouth Jan. 10), while Kyle Casey (Saint Joseph's Dec. 31) and Jonah Travis (Seattle Dec. 4) have recorded one apiece this year. Wright has amassed 16 double-doubles over the course of his career in Cambridge.
Harvard is riding a 23-game win streak at home, a program record. The current win streak at home is the longest for Harvard at Lavietes Pavilion and is the fifth longest current streak in the NCAA. Kentucky is enjoying the longest current streak with 45 straight home wins.

Harvard and Amaker Against Dartmouth
The Crimson is 7-2 against Dartmouth under head coach Tommy Amaker. Harvard has won the last five games in the series.
Hitting Baskets
Keith Wright stands second in the Ivy League in field-goal percentage, hitting 60.4 percent of his attempts this season (81-of-134).
Oliver McNally has played in 104 games during his Harvard career, tying him for ninth most in program history. McNally is just 11 games shy of tying Jeremy Lin '10 for the most games played in Harvard history (115).
Night and Day
Harvard owns a 8-2 record in night games and a 7-0 mark in day contests in 2011-12.
Sold Out Lavietes
Harvard has had four sellout crowds at Lavietes Pavilion already this season (MIT, Saint Joseph's, Dartmouth and George Washington). In addition, the upcoming games against Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Princeton and Penn are already sold out. The Crimson has the opportunity to have 10 of its 12 home games this season be sold out.
Defense Wins Games
The Crimson enters the week fifth in the country in scoring defense (55.1 points allowed per game).
Harvard had not allowed more than 49 points in four straight games (Nov. 24-Dec. 1) for the first time since the 1946-47 season, which was prior to the invention of the shot clock and the 3-point line. The Crimson has only surrendered more than 60 points in six of 17 games this year.
On The Big Screen
The Crimson will play at least seven games on national or regional television this season.
Harvard is 5-1 on TV this year after earning wins over Utah (HDNet), No. 20/22 Florida State (Versus) and Central Florida (Versus) at the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Crimson also defeated Boston University (NESN) and Boston College (ESPN3), but fell on the road at No. 9/9 Connecticut (ESPN2).
Road Warriors
The Crimson, which currently owns a 9-2 record in road/neutral sites, will play a total of 18 road/neutral games this winter. Harvard set a program record for road/neutral wins in 2009-10 with 10, and the Crimson followed up with nine road victories last season. Harvard is 6-2 on the road and 3-0 in neutral sites in 2011-12.
Kings of Massachusetts' Courts
The Crimson is currently on a 14-game winning streak against schools from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since falling to Northeastern in overtime, 76-71, Dec. 10, 2008, including four straight wins over Holy Cross and Boston College and three against Boston University.
Harvard is 4-0 this season against Massachusetts teams, having defeated MIT, Holy Cross, BU and BC.
Head Coach Tommy Amaker
Tommy Amaker (Duke '87) is in his fifth season as head coach of the Harvard men's basketball team. He registered his 250th career coaching victory Dec. 4, 2011 against Seattle at Lavietes Pavilion. Amaker has guided Harvard to its national ranking, as the Crimson was rated No. 25 in the AP poll and No. 24 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches ranking Dec. 5, 2011. Amaker also led the Crimson to its first Ivy League title as well as the program's first appearance in the NIT. In addition, the Crimson established a program record with 23 victories in 2010-11.
He brings a 257-192 (.572) career head coaching record into today's game, including a 81-53 (.604) mark at Harvard, a 108-84 (.563) record at Michigan and a 68-55 (.553) record at Seton Hall.
Making The Most Of It
Oliver McNally made all eight free throws at Monmouth, went 7-of-7 at the foul line at Holy Cross and shot 6-of-6 at Loyola Marymount and is shooting 88.0 percent from the line this season (44-of-50). Christian Webster is Harvard's career leader in free-throw shooting, making 88.8 percent of his attempts (175-of-197) over his first three seasons, while McNally is fourth in team history at 85.6 percent (250-of-292).
Last season, the Crimson ranked second in the nation as a team with an 80.8 percent success rate from the charity stripe (just behind Wisconsin's 81.8 shooting percentage). Harvard owns the NCAA record for team free-throw percentage for a season (82.2 percent in 1983-84). Harvard is currently shooting 73.5 percent from the line this season, ranking 42nd in the country.
Deep Bench
Harvard has played at least 10 players in 16 of 17 games this season, including a season-high 17 players in the win over Utah Nov. 24.
Defense, Offense
Entering the week, the Crimson ranked first in the Ivy League in defense (55.1 points allowed per game) and third in scoring offense (66.5 points per contest). Harvard was also first in scoring margin (+11.4). The Crimson paces the league in shooting percentage (.467), 3-point shooting (.366), rebounding defense (28.5) and blocked shots per game (4.7).

Fortune Valley casino has stalking horse bid
Luna Entertainment, the owner of the Red Dolly Casino in Black Hawk, has reached an agreement to become the stalking horse bidder for Fortune Valley Hotel & Casino in Central City.
Indianapolis-based Centaur, the parent company of Fortune Valley, put the casino up for sale last year and filed for bankruptcy in March.
Novi, Mich.-based Luna requires approval from a bankruptcy court in Delaware to become the stalking horse bidder. If approved, Luna's bid would set the bar for a potential auction.
Multiple parties have expressed interest in bidding on the casino, said Matt Sodl, managing director for Innovation Capital, which is handling the sale for Centaur.
"It's a great property," Sodl said today. "We do believe we're going to have an auction."
Sodl wouldn't disclose the amount of Luna's bid. The auction is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 23, pending court approvals.
Fortune Valley is Central City's largest casino, featuring more than 700 slot machines, 15 table games and 118 hotel rooms.

This is an example of XI century Spanish script.
Next is part of a document in which Pedro I, king of Aragon and Navarra, donates a new church to the Monastery of Ona. It is of great interest because of the signature of the Catholic King Pedro I which he signed in arabic letters at the bottom! It reads in arabic script (from right to left): Reshem Pedro Ibn Sancho (King Pedro son of Sancho). This from a Catholic king donating a church to a Catholic monastery.

As the story behind the latest allegation of sexual assault against Ben Roethlisberger unravels, sports pundits have been careful to not declare the star quarterback guilty of any crime.
But that hasn't stopped them from lecturing the Pittsburgh Steelers' two-time Super Bowl champ. Here's a look at some of the condemnation:
- Sports Illustrated's Don Banks thinks Big Ben has been "very guilty" of "serial bad judgement." "He doesn't seem to know what's good for him, and he clearly doesn't respect the notion that there are boundaries of where he should be, when he should be there, and who he should be with," he writes. "The lesson here seems simple, Ben: Sometimes trouble finds you. Sometimes you find the trouble. Either way, it's trouble all the same."
- FoxSports says Roethlisberger is guilty of "being a jerk." "And the best thing you can say here is that Big Ben's a big dope, a jackass who has jeopardized his precious beef-jerky endorsement," the article reads.
- The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ron Cook takes issue with the QB's choices. "I don't have to wait for the legal proceedings to fully take their course for me to pronounce Roethlisberger guilty of poor judgment," he writes. "There is only trouble out there at 2 a.m. That is especially true for someone with Roethlisberger's high-profile status...It's time he grows up."
- The Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates reserves judgement, for now. "I'm struggling to muster much condemnation. I did some incredibly, incredibly dumb s*** as a twenty-something," he writes. "I think it's worth recognizing that most athletes aren't fending off two different charges of sexual assault. That doesn't mean guilt and my instinct is to say that brothers need to chill at the crib. But older I get, the more I think some of this is just who people are."
- Sporting News' Mike Florio seems to assume that there is indeed some guilt on Roethlisberger's part -- and offers a solution. "So the best approach would be for Roethlisberger's lawyers to commence a dialogue with the alleged victim's lawyer and settle the case -- now," he suggests. "The point here is that the mess has been made, and now Roethlisberger must decide how to clean it up, whether he's guilty or innocent or a little bit of both."

On the rebound from a small stroke, Twin Cities vocal powerhouse Robert Robinson has released a quiet but classy album, "Songs of Love and Comfort: Lullabies From the Heart." Using only the soft (but sweet) part of his voice, he soothes on interpretations of such pop hits as Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" (which works) and Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" (which drags on too long). When Robinson celebrates his new album Friday, let's hope he doesn't limit his performance to only his lullaby voice. (8 p.m. Fri., Dakota Jazz Club, $20.) Jon Bream
Minneapolis needs another Father John Misty gig like Miley Cyrus needs publicity. Thankfully, the cosmic Los Angeles folk-rocker is changing things up this time, leaving his terrific band at home and playing all by his lonesome, contemplative, wryly humorous self. It's a fitting way to wrap up the incessant touring behind last year's breakout album "Fear Fun," and start prepping for a new one. Hopefully, the real-life Josh Tillman will be cheerier than at his last, almost antagonistic First Ave gig. Hip New York comic Kate Berlant should help lighten things up as the opening act. (9 p.m. Fri., First Avenue, $25.) Chris Riemenschneider
After 25 years of performing under the Dylan-inspired gunslinger moniker John Wesley Harding (remember "The Devil in Me?"), British alt-folk vet Wesley Stace is touring under his birth name, which you'll also see on the cover of his three well-received novels. He's promoting a new record, "Self-Titled," and hosting a local version of his NPR variety show "Cabinet of Wonders," with guests to include Gary Louris, Laurie Lindeen, Haley Bonar, comic Todd Barry and more. (8 p.m. Fri., Cedar Cultural Center, all ages, $20-$25.) Riemenschneider
If Bonnie Raitt had a daughter, she might sing with the sass, spunk and soulfulness of ZZ Ward. The petite, fedora-wearing newcomer from tiny Roseburg, Ore., impressed on Conan, Kimmel and Leno, and in Minneapolis performances at the Varsity and Basilica Block Party. Even though her 2012 debut "Til the Casket Drops" features rappers Kendrick Lamar and Freddie Gibbs, her powerful pipes will carry this show. James Bay opens. (7 p.m. Sat., Skyway Theatre, $18.75-$20.) Bream
As is known by anyone who has caught a Melismatics gig or seen them anchor First Ave's Replacements tributes, the Twin Cities quartet can flat-out rock, with an exuberance that most bands would envy. The husband/wife-led rockers spend a lot of their new record, "Rising Tide," showing off a sharp popcraft sometimes buried under their frenetic energy. Most of the songs were produced by John Auer of Posies power-pop fame and the latter-day Big Star lineup, and they range in style from Mates of State-like candied gems to Oasis-y power ballads. Their hometown release party features Sick of Sarah, the Hounds Below and Tony Ortiz for openers. (9 p.m. Sat., Amsterdam Bar & Hall, $10-$12.) Riemenschneider
At 12, precocious picker Sarah Jarosz was jamming on mandolin and banjo with Ricky Skaggs and David Grisman. Now, at 22, she has developed into an accomplished singer/songwriter in the Gillian Welch mode. She just released her third album, "Build Me Up From the Bones," recorded during her final year at the New England Conservatory of Music. With assistance from such A-list pickers as Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile and Viktor Krauss, she impresses big-time, especially on the haunting original "Gone Too Soon" and a minimalist reading of Bob Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate." (7 p.m. Sun., Dakota, $25.) Bream
Fiona Apple has issues. It's part of what makes her such a deep and compelling artist. Just don't hassle her, as one worshipful woman did at a concert last week in Portland (something about Apple's weight and looks), causing the singer/pianist to go off — in both senses of the words. She's volatile and vulnerable and working without a net on her duo tour with Blake Mills, the L.A. hotshot guitarist and talented singer/songwriter who has worked with Lucinda Williams, Pink, Jenny Lewis and many others. He played with Apple last year when she was promoting the excellent "Idler Wheel" album. (7:30 p.m. Mon., the O'Shaughnessy, $39.50-$59.50.) Bream
After breaking new ground with his old band this summer on their 3-D Tour, Primus leader and wizardly bassist Les Claypool has ventured into new territory again with his Duo de Twang Tour, an acoustic outing featuring Ministry guitarist Bryan Kehoe. The set lists have featured a handful of Primus tunes alongside a wide array of covers as odd as you'd expect from Les, from the Bee Gees to Alice in Chains to Johnny Horton. (8 p.m. Mon., Varsity Theater, $30.) Riemenschneider
German pop duo Boy might have the most unrecognizable (and un-Googleable) name in modern music, but their bouncy, Feist-echoing hit "Little Numbers" has certainly stood out, thanks in large part to its use in a Hyundai commercial and, locally, to heavy airplay on the Current. Swiss-born Valeska Steiner and her German partner Sonja Glass played two small shows here in March and are back to tackle the big room. British opener Greg Holden wrote American Idol champ Phillip Phillips' hit "Home." (8 p.m. Tue., First Avenue, $18.) Riemenschneider
Having channeled the Replacements' wild side to great effect on their last album, "Divine Providence," Rhode Island rockers Deer Tick sound more sober and somber on their new album, "Negativity," in which frontman John McCauley reflects on a broken engagement and daddy issues. Texas countryman Robert Eillis opens. (8:30 p.m. Tue., Fine Line, $20.) Riemenschneider
Hugh Laurie, formerly the quirky doctor on TV's "House," is touring to promote his just-released second album for Warner Bros. His debut was a credible, New Orleans-seasoned blues effort with a cast of guest stars. Only Taj Mahal joins Laurie for the new "Didn't It Rain," a low-key but likable collection of late-night blues/jazz on which Laurie once again asserts himself as a credible vocalist and a pretty fair barroom and boogie pianist. He's traveling with the Copper Bottom Band, featured on his summer PBS special "Live on the Queen Mary." (7:30 p.m. Tue., Pantages Theatre, $48.50-$58.50.) Bream
Alice Russell is the British soul singer you've probably never heard of but deserves as much attention as Adele and Amy Winehouse. More modern than those retro songbirds, Russell, 38, incorporates hip-hop, dance and jazz into immaculately produced contemporary R&B. A formidable singer with a wide emotional range, she's made seven solo albums, including this year's delightful "To Dust," but she may be best known in the States for an arresting track on the 2010 David Byrne/Fatboy Slim collaboration "Here Lies Love." Opening is Marques Toliver, a classically trained violinist turned honey-voiced London soul singer. (7:30 p.m. Wed., Cedar Cultural Center, $18-$20.) Bream
Sarah Brightman can boast a lot of firsts: the first Christine in "Phantom of the Opera," the first classical crossover star, the first singer to perform the theme song at two Olympics. Now she is training to be the first music star in space, as a cosmonaut headed for the International Space Station in 2015. First, she has to get through her Dreamchaser Tour with its stripped-down band (no orchestra, just synthesized strings) and Space Age effects and dreamscapes. The spectacle will feature material from this year's "Dreamchaser," on which she reinvents songs by Sigur Rós, the Cocteau Twins and Paul McCartney & Wings. (7:30 p.m. Thu., Xcel Energy Center, $74.50-$157.) Bream
Falling somewhere between Atmosphere and Insane Clown Posse, Kansas City's face-painted, tongue-twisting rap vet Tech N9ne has carved out a sizable niche outside mainstream hip-hop over his nearly 20-year career. He edges toward the center without dulling down his sharp character on his recent concept album "Something Else," featuring guest appearances by everyone from Cee-Lo to Serj Tankian. His touring partners include fellow K.C. stalwart Krizz Kalico and Miami's Mayday, who are also on the record. (7 p.m. Fri., Myth, all ages, $35.) Riemenschneider
Losing the best new artist Grammy to Bon Iver was hardly the death knell of J. Cole's career. The Jay Z protégé from North Carolina gave a strong performance during MTV's Video Music Awards and landed at No. 1 in Billboard this summer with his second album, "Born Sinner," buoyed by the hit single with Miguel, "Power Trip." He's not the powerhouse MC that his cohort Kendrick Lamar is, but Cole packs a lot of thoughtful and edgy lyricism into his songs alongside those hitmaking hooks. He's touring with Wale, the D.C. rapper of "Lotus Flower Bomb" fame (another Miguel hook-up), whose third album "The Gifted" also went No. 1 this summer. (7 p.m. Sun., Myth, all ages, $42.) Riemenschneider
Only 19 years old and suddenly the hottest hipster rapper around, Earl Sweatshirt returned from boarding-school exile in Samoa and graduated from the wickedly juvenile group that is/was the Odd Future collective to drop the acclaimed new album "Doris." Gone are the cough-syrup-drunk antics and cocky attitude of his prior tunes. In are dark and depressed lyrics and a brilliant array of dense beats, including production from Pharrell and RZA. While there are still some jaw-droppingly naughty lyrics, the real shock on the record is its honest and personal assessment of troubled youth. Odd Future and Mac Miller cohort Vince Staples opens. (7 p.m. Sun., Fine Line, all ages, $20-$22.) Riemenschneider
The Locked and Reloaded Tour is a smart package — Miranda Lambert, who keeps cleaning up at country awards shows, and Dierks Bentley, a spirited country star who took a little detour into bluegrass in 2010. She's a pistol, who, when wronged, fights back with "Kerosene" and "Gunpowder and Lead." But she's a poignant balladeer, too, as evidenced on her award-sweeping "The House That Built Me." High-energy Bentley scored big in the ballad department in 2011 with "Home" (co-written by Minneapolitan Dan Wilson), one of his 10 No. 1 tunes. With Chris Stapleton and Jukebox Mafia. (7:30 p.m. Fri., Xcel Energy Center, $29.75-$54.75.) Bream
This could be your last chance to see one of the nation's great jazz pianists at one of the nation's great jazz bars. The often brilliant Bill Carrothers grew up in Minnesota but now lives in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and tours the globe, playing fabled U.S. venues (Village Vanguard, Green Mill) and giant European festivals. Yet his home away from home remains the Artists' Quarter, the black-walled, dimly lit, musician-run jazz oasis in downtown St. Paul that will sadly be closing its doors at the end of December. As Janis famously sang, get it while you can. (9 p.m. Fri.-Sat., Artists' Quarter, $15.) Tom Surowicz
Once voted the rock star least likely to survive the 1960s, cantankerous Ginger Baker is still going strong. The 74-year-old Cream and Blind Faith drum god is now playing his first musical love, jazz, albeit heavily flavored by his many visits to Africa. The subject of the recent no-holds-barred documentary "Beware of Mr. Baker" re-established his jazz cred with the splendid 1994 trio release "Go Back Home," co-starring Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden. Now he's touring with another great lineup dubbed Ginger Baker's Jazz Confusion that's heavy on the polyrhythms. The potent ensemble features jazz and funk great Pee Wee Ellis on tenor sax, excellent bassist Alec Dankworth and mighty African percussionist Abass Doodoo. (7 p.m. Tue.-Wed., Dakota Jazz Club, $45.) Surowicz
Reliably good West Coast bluesman James Armstrong is a charmer with many strengths. He's a fine lead and rhythm guitarist, a stellar slide player, a crafty songwriter, a soulful vocalist with a casual delivery, and a live performer who seems completely comfortable on stage. Whether he's bemoaning his fate on "Pennies and Picks," or reveling in his job by singing a joyous number like "Mr. B's," Armstrong is a hard guy not to like. (9 p.m. Fri., Famous Dave's Uptown, $5.) Surowicz
Clarinetist David Krakauer, an American superstar renowned in classical music, klezmer, jazz and hip-hop, joins Bakken Trio for its fall program. "Laughter Through Tears …," based on Jewish myths and folk tunes, features Copland's piano trio "Vitebsk: Study of a Jewish Theme," Shostakovich's Fourth String Quartet — banned until after his death because of its Jewish tunes — and Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov's "Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind," a musical exploration of suffering and its transcendence. (4 p.m. Sun., MacPhail Center, 501 2nd St., Mpls., $20-$25, 612-374-3175, bakkentrio.org) William Randall Beard

Latina Book Review: Border-Line Personalities
Several points hit home for me in this book. One of them, el qué dirán (the "what will they think/say") is so prevalent in the lives of Latinas; many of us are raised by a mami who warns us not to embarrass her, the family, and ourselves by "non-traditional" or "unacceptable" behaviors and decisions. This proves to be a source of internal conflict for Latinas who struggle to be true to their more modern and independent, American selves.
Another topic that emerged in these selections was that of labeling and stereotypes. Often, we are incorrectly called Spanish, when in fact some of us are immigrants from or descendants of Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Chile, Argentina, and all of the other Spanish-speaking countries that form Central and South America. Many of us are born in the United States. When I'm asked "what are you?" (yes, people do ask) I reply that I am American-born, and that my parents are Bolivian. I identify with both cultures. I speak Spanish, but I am not Spanish.
One of the essays reminded me of a disappointing conversation I suffered with my college roommate many years ago. She seemed to think I was a "good" Hispanic because I did not "act like one". I remember her saying something about "those people", and how I didn't look like them, or "talk fast" like them.
So what is this term Latina all about? For me, and the writers in Border-Line Personalities, it's a feeling, an outlook, an attitude, a way of life, a source of pride. Latinas relate to each other on another level because of the way we've been raised, the similarities in our different cultures, because of what is expected of us, and because of the way we're perceived in the greater picture of American life. Latinas continue to redefine themselves while also contributing positively to the forward movement of their families and their communities.

Great Cassy
"She seemed to think I was a "good" Hispanic because I did not "act like one". I remember her saying something about "those people", and how I didn't look like them, or "talk fast" like them." --unfortunately if you are "different" --last name, skin color, nationality...someone may (because I refuse to generalize) have a preconceived notion of what you "should be" "should look like" or "should act like." But I think that's true of anyone who has little knowledge or experience. For example, a northerner may stereotype a southerner even though both share the same race, nationality and often times religious belief.
Funny but I am not sure I know how a "good Hispanic" acts. Heck...I am not sure I know what good means. Good is such a vague word that means something different for everyone. In the end, I don't think its a race or ethnic issue. Sometimes, anything that is foreign or unusual in some way creates a sense of imbalance. My point--perhaps because I am surrounded by such a diverse group of people literally from all over the world, from countries I never knew existed, these assertions don't bother me. I see them as a challenge, an opportunity to educate.
Great post...and as always a pleasure to read.

Hi Cassy,
Your blog has inspired me to develop mine some more. I noticed you are interested in Latina writers. My sister has recently got her first book published, Las Ninas. Its about our childhood growing up in the USA with Mexican immigrant parents.
You posted a comment on my blog months ago. I had been meaning to come back to yours and this time around I noticed all the different links and interests, all of which inspired me. Congratulations on your award mujer!!!

First of all, I don't see my Diet post here. I see jibberish. Is that just me or is that everyone? Hmph. Guess I'll look into that again later.
Man, I've been exhausted this week. Rightly so, I suppose. I come home from work, run, bike or lift weights, flop onto the couch and lay there until I have to get up, cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, go to the baseball field, to bed and when my alarm wakes me in the morning, I can't believe my night of sleeping is already over with. Time to do it all over again. I'll be very happy after tomorrow. I'll be enjoying SUMMER VACATION for 8 WEEKS!
Last night Tyler had a game against another Big Lake team. We won 9-7; in 9 innings! They usually play 6 innings but the game was tied forever and a day, so it went long. We play the same team tomorrow.
Tonight Troy has baseball in Becker.
I ran on asphalt yesterday morning to see how it felt. I ran five miles and it didn't feel good. I felt aches and pains in my feet and my knees. My foot still feels tender today. It didn't hurt at all while I ran trail 2 & 4 hours this weekend. It's the asphalt; after running for it on 24 hours, my body is tender to run upon it again-so soon.
Grandmas Marathon is this Saturday. Grandmas was my first marathon and I've run it each year since. I don't really care for the race anymore. It's crowded, it is expensive (you have to book hotel for 2 nights now); I enjoy the history I have with Grandmas Marathon. The fact that I ran it 6 years ago, when I wasn't sure if I could run a marathon. The fact that I ran Grandmas with my Dad, his first marathon, and that I ran Grandmas with Ann, her first marathon. All of those firsts are very special to me.
This year is Grandmas Marathon 30th year and I figured I'd run it, and it could be my last. I really prefer ultra distances now, and Grandmas doesn't serve me as a training run for any future race; as Twin Cities Marathon does for the Ed Fitz 100K.
Last year I was able to PR at Grandmas, but I had +only+ run 52 miles at FANS two weeks prior. The previous two years I had run 80-85 miles at FANS and still ran Grandmas in 430 or so. There is NO WAY I could PR at Grandmas this year after running a hard, long FANS.
I could hurt myself. That's the bottom line. I just ran 116 miles on asphalt, less than two weeks ago. I don't think it is smart to run a marathon on asphalt so soon. I know that my body isn't recovered. If this was a trail marathon, I may give it a go. But no, I'll be staying home this weekend.
Tyler has a baseball tournament in Big Lake this weekend; I won't have to drive up to Duluth, run the marathon, drive home, miss a few of his games, etc. I'll be right there watching. And that's a good thing :)

feline immunodeficiency virus
a common lentivirus infection of cats considered to share many features in common with human immunodeficiency virus and human AIDS. Initial infection is accompanied by fever and lymphadenopathy which is followed by a long (several years) incubation period and then the gradual onset of a wide range of clinical signs that include fever, lymphadenopathy, anemia, lethargy, weight loss and nonspecific behavioral changes. Secondary bacterial, fungal and protozoal infections are common in more advanced stages. Cat bite wounds and saliva contribute to horizontal spread; there is a higher incidence of FIV antibody in male than female cats.
feline inappropriate elimination
see elimination behavior.
feline infectious anemia (FIA)
a hemolytic anemia caused by the red blood cell parasite, Mycoplasma haemofelis. Infected cats experience a progressive, usually cyclic, decrease in numbers of red blood cells, weight loss, splenomegaly and occasionally icterus. The causative agent can be demonstrated in blood smears. Called also hemobartonellosis.
feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
a progressive disease of the domestic cat and other Felidae caused by a coronavirus. The disease is characterized by an insidious onset, fever, weight loss, and any of a wide variety of clinical signs reflecting the highly variable distribution of vasculitis, granulomatous lesions and effusions. Immune complexes are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of this disease. In the wet form, there are peritoneal or pleural effusions, or both. In the dry form, typical pyogranulomas occur in almost any location. Anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia and elevated antibody titer to coronavirus assist in making a diagnosis. Called also feline granulomatous disease, feline infectious vasculitis.

feline leprosy
a granulomatous skin disease of cats believed to be associated with Mycobacterium lepraemurium infection. Single or multiple, sometimes ulcerated, lesions occur most often on the face, head or legs. Believed to be caused by contact with rodents.
feline leukemia virus (FeLV)
an oncornavirus, antigenically related to other leukemia viruses; exists in three subtypes, A, B and C. Subclinical infection occurs in many cats, but some become persistently viremic carriers, shedding the virus in saliva and urine. The virus causes neoplastic (lymphosarcoma and other lymphoid tumors and myeloproliferative disease) and many non-neoplastic (bone marrow suppression, including nonregenerative anemia, thymic atrophy and immunosuppression) diseases and is associated with reproductive failure, glomerulonephritis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The immunosuppression predisposes to a very wide spectrum of disease, particularly the infectious agents of feline infectious anemia, feline infectious peritonitis, viral respiratory disease, stomatitis, abscess, etc.

feline panleukopenia (FPL)
an acute disease, particularly of young cats, caused by feline parvovirus. Clinical signs are depression, vomiting, diarrhea and marked dehydration. There is a panleukopenia of varying severity that aids in diagnosis. Intrauterine or perinatal infection may cause fetal death, abortion, neonatal deaths, and a degeneration of the external layer of the cerebellum that results in a cerebellar ataxia in surviving kittens. Most infections are subclinical, but in clinical cases mortality is high. The disease can be prevented by vaccination at an early age. All felids, mustelids and procyonids are also susceptible to feline panleukopenia virus infection.

feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE)
the counterpart of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and caused by the same agent. Infection occurs by ingestion of infected cat food. The mean age at onset is 6 (2-10) years with a gradual onset of clinical signs including behavioral changes, hindlimb ataxia, inability to judge distances, hypermetria, hyperesthesia and altered grooming.
feline syncytia-forming virus (FeSFV)
see foaming virus, retroviridae.
feline T-lymphotropic virus
an earlier name for feline immunodeficiency virus (above).
feline ulcerative stomatitis

feline upper respiratory disease (FURD)
see feline viral respiratory disease complex (below).
feline urological syndrome (FUS)
a collection of clinical signs which typically includes hematuria, dysuria, and partial or complete obstruction of the urinary tract by uroliths, microcalculi or excessive amounts of struvite crystals. The cause is unknown but appears to be multifactorial, with mineral and water content of the diet, urinary pH and water turnover having some effect on the development of the disease. Called also the fat, lazy cat syndrome.
feline viral respiratory disease complex
mild to severe upper respiratory infection characterized by a high morbidity, low mortality, fever, ocular and nasal discharges, sneezing, coughing and ulcerations of the tongue. Feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus are the most common etiological agents, occurring with about equal frequency; rarely Chlamydophila felis or mycoplasmas are involved. It is often not possible to identify the causative agent on the basis of clinical signs, but in general calicivirus is associated with a milder illness, marked by ulcerations of the tongue, lips, nasal philtrum, and sometimes skin, while feline herpesvirus causes a more severe disease with sneezing, coughing and ocular lesions that include chemosis, keratitis and corneal ulceration. Lower respiratory disease occasionally occurs, most often in kittens. Vaccines are available to prevent these infections. See also feline calicivirus infection, feline viral rhinotracheitis. Called also cat flu, feline influenza.
feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR)
see feline viral rhinotracheitis.

Software, Design Defects Cripple Health-Care Website
Government Acknowledges It Needs to Fix Design and Software Problems
Six days into the launch of insurance marketplaces created by the new health-care law, the federal government acknowledged for the first time Sunday it needed to fix design and software problems that have kept customers from applying online for coverage.
The Obama administration said last week that an unanticipated surge of Web traffic caused most of the problems and was a sign of high demand by people seeking to buy coverage under the new law.
But federal officials said Sunday the online marketplace needed design changes, as well as more server capacity to improve efficiency on the federally run exchange that serves 36 states.

Find Your State's Health-Insurance Exchange
See Who Is Exploring the Exchanges
"We can do better and we are working around the clock to do so," said Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services. The government is making software and hardware changes to smooth the process of creating accounts needed to gain access to the marketplace, federal officials said.
The website is troubled by coding problems and flaws in the architecture of the system, according to insurance-industry advisers, technical experts and people close to the development of the marketplace.
Among the technical problems thwarting consumers, according to some of those people, is the system to confirm the identities of enrollees. Troubles in the system are causing crashes as users try to create accounts, the first step before they can apply for coverage.
Experian PLC, an information-services firm, holds a federal subcontract to support that system. The company declined to comment.
Information technology experts who examined the healthcare.gov website at the request of The Wall Street Journal said the site appeared to be built on a sloppy software foundation. Such a hastily constructed website may not have been able to withstand the online demand last week, they said.
Engineers at Web-hosting company Media Temple Inc. found a glut of stray software code that served no purpose they could identify. They also said basic Web-efficiency techniques weren't used, such as saving parts of the website that change infrequently so they can be loaded more quickly. Those factors clog the website's plumbing, Media Temple said.
The identity-checking foul-ups are also triggering problems for state-run exchanges, which rely on the federal system. The problem caused delays last week for users of MNsure, Minnesota's exchange, as they waited for federal confirmation to create their accounts, said April Todd-Malmlov, MNsure's executive director. She said the issue in her state was largely resolved by Friday.
Administration officials, who reported nearly nine million unique visitors to the federally run exchange as of Friday night, said the system underwent maintenance over the weekend.
The federal government is running all or part of the online marketplace for 36 states, while 14 states and the District of Columbia have their own systems. Those state-run systems have seen mixed performance. Such states as Connecticut and Kentucky have successfully enrolled customers, while Maryland had to take down its marketplace periodically last week to fix glitches.
About 30 million uninsured people live in the states the federal marketplace will serve, including Texas and Florida.
So far, Web-traffic problems are allowing only a small trickle of buyers, said John Gorman, chief executive of Gorman Health Group, an insurance-industry consulting firm with clients selling policies on the exchanges.
Large insurers have seen enrollment figures totaling in the hundreds each, said Sumit Nijhawan, chief executive of Infogix Inc., a data-integrity firm that works with such insurers as WellPoint Inc., Aetna Inc. and Cigna Corp.
So far, many tens of thousands of people had started the application process but the number of those who were able to create accounts and shop for coverage is likely in the low thousands, according to people with knowledge of the situation and estimates by insurance-industry advisers.
The administration has declined to say the total number of enrollees.
President Barack Obama has urged patience since the exchange launched. Early last week, as the website opened for business, he said online traffic was higher than expected. "This gives you a sense of how important this is to millions of Americans across the country," he said.
Stephen Push, a 52-year-old early retiree living in McLean, Va., said he tried to log in to the website a dozen times last week, and was thwarted by website errors each time. On Friday, he called a hotline set up by the administration to help people enroll, but the customer-service representative was also unable to access the online marketplace.
On Sunday, Mr. Push said, he was able complete an application to begin shopping for insurance by telephone. But he said he was told he would have to wait two more days to log in and begin shopping for coverage, a delay the customer service representative attributed to the identity-checking system.
"After what I've been through, I'm a little suspicious," Mr. Push said, adding that he hoped to see premiums lower than what he pays now.
Separately, a system that determines whether people are eligible for federal subsidies to buy insurance, or Medicaid, a state-run program for low-income people, continued to make some inaccurate determinations, despite improvements, people familiar with the matter said. By late last week, officials worried they may have to notify some applicants that they weren't eligible for programs they enrolled in, one person said.
That system was developed by CGI Group Inc., the main contractor developing the federal exchange. CGI declined to comment.
Another problem last week involved security questions that were asked of applicants, similar to those asked by e-commerce websites. Healthcare.gov asks users to select such questions as "What is your radio station?" and then supply answers. Initially, the questions didn't always appear in drop-down tools, leaving many early customers stuck last week.
After the problem was largely resolved, people said they were able to fill in the required information but the site still couldn't process their application.
The website and enrollment problems don't "matter so much in October, but for the actual enrollment campaign, this all needs to get fixed by November or they won't be able to process the volume they're going to get," said Jon Kingsdale, an exchange expert who helped set up a similar marketplace in Massachusetts in 2005 and who now works as a consultant for several state-run exchanges.

Could someone explain the calculation required to answer this question. It is from a text book and the answer is recorded as 585Hz but I cannot replicate the answer.
In 1931 Michelson used a rotating prism with 32 faces to measure the time for light to travel through a 1.6km evacuated tube to a distant mirror and back. From his results he calculated that the speed of light is 299774000 m/s.
Assuming the prism is rotated by only one face during the time of flight of light calculate the rotation frequency of the prism.
Is the book incorrect or am I?
My attempt: $(1/(1600/299774000))/32=5855\:\mathrm{Hz}$ which is suspiciously similar to the suggested answer 585Hz. But then I remembered about the round-trip (3200m) which threw all the numbers again.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- It's an event that attracts people from across the region and helps give Manhattan businesses a boost but the annual Fake Patty's Day celebration in the Aggieville has stirred up some controversy in the past. This year, officials say the massive party was a "very managed event" thanks to local authorities and the numbers of incidents and arrests were comparable to last year's event.
Fake Patty's Day was held on March 9, 2013 in the Aggieville District. Since Saint Patrick's Day falls during Kansas State University's spring break, "Fake Patty's Day" is held the weekend before students leave. Streets in Aggieville are shut down and crowds fill local bars and businesses to celebrate.
In past years, the event has been associated with many negative issues including overcrowding, public intoxication, traffic congestion, illegal parking, acts of violence, trash nuisances and out of control house parties in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Riley County Police Department assigned its staff for overlapping shifts during peak times to maximize police presence. In addition, officers from the following agencies assisted: Kansas State University Police Department, Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, Junction City Police Department, Emporia Police Department, Lyon County Sheriff's Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and Riley County Community Corrections.
Officials said there were no major incidents, accidents or injuries to report this year.
"I think we've reached a point of equilibrium. The crime was down slightly, our enforcement was up which is what we want. We want to have a strong enforcement which we think reduces the calls for service, the crimes and so I think overall, things went fairly well," said Captain Kurt Moldrup, who oversees the RCPD's patrol division.
RCPD released the following statistics from 7 AM Saturday - 7 AM Sunday:
Citizen-generated calls for service- 279 (In 2012, there were 275.)
Criminal reports filed by RCPD- 103 (In 2012, there were 152.)
Custody arrests- 115 (Last year, there were 107.)
Alcohol-related incidents- 15.8% increase compared to 2012
Open containers- 225 (In 2012, there were 161.)
Minor in Possession- 86 (In 2012, there were 75.)
Most arrested offense- Disorderly Conduct
According to Riley County EMS Director Larry Couchman, the numbers for his agency were virtually the same as 2012 for Fake Patty's Day.
From 12 AM Saturday - 6 AM Sunday they had 64 calls for service- 46 calls were Fake Patty's Day-related
There were 12 ambulance transports.
Couchman says 21 patients were seen at the Emergency Room at Mercy Regional Health Center in connection with Fake Patty's Day- 10 patients suffered from alcohol-related problems and 11 had other complaints (falls, lacerations, facial injuries, trauma).
The lowest blood alcohol level seen at the hospital was .13.
The highest blood alcohol level was a 20-year-old with a .421, more than 5 times over the legal limit, Couchman said.
According to a RCPD spokesman, the department spent $36,831.48 on enforcing the event in 2012. The cost includes salary, supplies, etc. necessary for operating on that day. Other emergency services and city offices had additional costs.
