Fallout from new Canadian TV deal uncertain, but expect prices to rise
Jonathan Willis
November 27 2013 07:47AM
With the news yesterday that Rogers and the NHL had agreed on a 12-year, $5.232 billion Canadian television deal, the overwhelming reaction was uncertainty. We don't know how this will effect TSN or CBC, we don't know how Rogers will cover the game, and we don't know if the hockey-watching experience will be better a year from now than it is today.
What we know for sure is that NHL hockey is going to be on Rogers. What we also know, with barely less certainty, is that it's going to cost more to watch.
The Experts
Jim Jamieson of The Province talked to two business experts: UBC's James Brander and SFU's Linday Meredith. The full article is here (and well worth reading) but note the similarity in comments both made.
First, Brander:
The first thing I noticed is the big price tag, and obviously Rogers has to recoup that.
And Meredith:
We'll see a lot of bundling or extra charges for premium channels. I'm sure Rogers will be pushing hard on all those buttons because they've got a lot of money to recoup. Whether it means having to buy stuff you don't want or premium channels, your cable bill will be going up.
The Logic
It's pretty straight forward. The NHL's national television rights cost lots more now than they used to (Chris Botta of Sports Business Journal put the total value of the old deals at roughly $190 million); this new deal increases that to an average of over $400 million per year. Even assuming that NHL hockey was a cash cow for CBC and TSN (which seems likely, given the spike in price), it's a pretty decent bet that a massive increase in the cost of the product for the provider is going to result in price increases for the consumer.
Commissioner Gary Bettman and the executives at Rogers Communications can pay lip service to the idea that, on some level, this deal was the best deal for fans but it would be a mistake to see it as more than lip service.
The NHL is focused on one thing: money. They've demonstrated it time and again, especially with their willingness to force labour stoppages to squeeze as much money as possible out of the sport. Rogers was willing to pay up for the television rights; consequently, the NHL was all too happy to do a deal with Rogers.
Likewise, Rogers is a business with the primary focus of making money. A lot of that money, doubtless, will come from expanding the amount of product available and milking advertisers for all that they are worth. But it would be silly to assume that every available revenue stream won't be tapped, and that's likely to include increased prices for the consumer.
A shiny new television deal is unquestionably good for the business of the NHL. It may yet prove to be good for fans, too, if Rogers can deliver a superior product. Right now there's no way of knowing whether the product will be better or worse, only that it's likely to cost more.

Who would you rather cover
Props for TSN
Trash for Sportsnet
November 27 2013, 08:08AM
I already pay too much for the premium sports channels, this could be tiresome. Hopefully Sportsnet can step up its game, I always found the TSN panels and presentations a higher quality.
5.2 billion to get rid of Mark Lee, Kevin Weekes, Glen Healy? Worth every penny.
November 27 2013, 08:10AM
If Dreger, McKenzie, and Duthie talk about hockey and nobody is there to hear them, do they still make a sound?
November 27 2013, 08:11AM
For me, the honest to god truth is that I feel we pay far to much already to watch the NHL. I'm a fairly pragmatic guy, and if I don't see any personal value or gain in something, I just don't opt in and go along with it. Hockey is great but the gradual commercialization of it has definitely jaded my loyalty. I can live without professional sport if need be. I'm sure I fall in to a very small minority of readers here by sharing that thought. My 2¢.
November 27 2013, 08:21AM
This comment:
"I think he has a big appeal, but Rogers is much more interested in the smooth, professional, modern sports image," said Brander. "I'm sure they don't know and they're looking hard at it. I don't think we're going to see more of Don Cherry, but I would expect him to be phased out."
Doesn't jibe with reality. HNIC with Cherry and all its flaws is a much more "smooth, professional, modern sports image" than anything SportsNet has ever produced.
SN productions always look like they are shot in the back of dimly lit full-sized van.
Between the lockouts, my team not being even close to competitive for years, and now this... I'm pretty sure my NHL days are coming to an end
This was some of the worst news I could imagine. The fact gene principe and his (juvenile, tired, unfunny schtick) is going to be shoved down our throats for the considerable future, teamed up with the fact that, unarguably the best talent in hockey by a country mile is being shut out, is.............attrocious.
I like Gene ... he lives in Edmonton and is one of us. He can tone it down a notch. Our broadcast crew is far better than Calgary's.
It is an entertainment, not daily necessity, right?
So if it is good value for the price, then I am in. If it is not, I'll move to other entertainments.
So why do we even have to worry about the price going up? They are not pointing a gun at your head to force you to subscribe it, are they?
When there is not enough demand (consumer), the price will drop, won't it?
November 27 2013, 08:53AM
I'm looking forward to TSN's year-end highlights show called: "Stuff We Used to Show You".
The Canadian Competition Bureau is forcing Sobey's to close the only grocery store in my neighborhood because of the Safeway takeover, but Rogers can, apparently, own the universe, and no one blinks.
Sometimes, Canada = no sense
November 27 2013, 08:14AM
I generally preferred the TSN coverage to the Sportsnet coverage, especially for special events like trade deadline day and draft day.
I like the idea of no blackouts and out of market games, but not if they get too silly on their (likely) price increase.
Also, from a cap standpoint, I guess that some GMs will breathe a little easier knowing that the cap will probably rise over the next few years with this guaranteed bump in revenue.
November 27 2013, 12:33PM
I see this as not a big deal to hockey fans. It make no difference to me which channel I watch a game on, other than the varying production qualities. But some people just like to complain.
I hope the Rogers improves its production quality, as it is far behind TSN and HNIC. The local Oiler product borders on amateur hour.
November 27 2013, 08:06AM
Interested to see how Center ice / game pass will work with no local blackouts.
The only reason I keep cable is for sports. But if I could pay $x for a subscription to the oilers and watch the Games with no blackouts I would do that In a second.
I bet we see a lot more of those distracting, superimposed ads on the glass during every game.
As is, I'm painfully aware of how much I pay to watch this dog's breakfast of a local hockey team. If the price goes up just to watch more garbage play I'll turf the channels, catch highlights online and be done with it.
I already skip through the intermissions and play stoppages, so I couldn't care less which network shows the games, but I won't pay more for the privilege.
November 27 2013, 09:08AM
This is awesome, I pray they fire all the dinosaurs at CBC except for Cherry!!!
Cherry is the biggest and oldest senile dino on the show. Time for the old fart to retire. He has been spewing the same lexicon for 20 years... nothing new from him.
This is awesome, I pray they fire all the dinosaurs at CBC except for Cherry!!!
Don Cherry is the definition of a dinosaur!
I like Maclean and Friedman for commentary and like the Hughson/Simpson duo for broadcasting, but not a big fan of the rest.
November 27 2013, 08:59AM
I hear the cable provider is discounting Oiler games and are charging AHL rates.
November 27 2013, 08:24AM
Another thought. Our Dads' and Granfathers' games of hockey, even the game we watched in childhood, is officially dead with this deal. The escalation of salaries will continue and the line between sport & business will grow ever more blurred.
November 27 2013, 09:56AM
Come now… Gene is hilarious and a side-show. It's the commentariat that deserves scrutiny here.
your right no problem with Gene, but it is so beyond terrible of a product and almost to the point of amateur and unprofessional.
Just Lame
November 27 2013, 09:57AM
Rogers has been screwing us with cellphone bills for years and here's the proof. I left their garbage service and what little hocked I did watch I kind of lost an appetite for. I hate that company and everything it stands for...
November 27 2013, 01:39PM
Allstar dream lineup for entertainment value:
Coax Rod Philips out of retirement for play-by-play, Gene Principe (with an unlimited supply of props) as his colour guy, Ily Bryzgalov as the "in the game analyst" (even if he's playing).
"Panel" comprised of Milbury, McGuire, and Cherry, but without any moderation. Cherry can bash those two guys as much as he wants. Throw in Biznasty too, I feel like him and Cherry would be friends.
Have an insider trader segment lead by Eklund, with special guests "every single person who includes the rights to Linus Omark in a Shea Weber trade proposal"
Production team that brings in the inventor of the FoxTrax puck, cooperalls, and every design team that has ever used yellow as a main jersey colour.
Just in case anyone from Rogers is reading, this is guaranteed to work. Bring me in as an advisor and pay me MILLIONS.
The consumer will pay the end cost of the $5.232 billion and the profit Sportsnet will make on top of that.That is how business works.
November 27 2013, 08:46AM
Remember, a big part of this is the push for people to have rogers plans for smartphones, tablets etc in order to get the streaming of games. I think the streaming side is the untapped market Rogers will be going after. TV in it's current format is slowly dying.
November 27 2013, 01:27PM
I think something like this happened in the 90s with the English Premiership football and Sky sports when they won the rights to broadcast the football over BBC and ITV. BBC Had a Saturday show called match of the day which exactly like the CBC HNIC showed a match every Saturday and sometimes had doubleheaders. Gradually the football disappeared from BBC and they were reduced to a highlights show Saturday and Sunday Nights.
Gradually it because harder and harder to watch live matches on anything that wasn't Sky sports, and slowly the prices crept up and it cost more in every aspect as Sky found new ways to increase revenue, things like charging Pubs a premium rate to broadcast games and basically making it so that you had no choice but to watch the football on Sky.
I have a feeling this is going to be the beginning of a very long profitable run for Sportsnet and slowly all the sports you enjoy will be a Sportsnet broadcast and as there is going to be more and more exposure of the NHL, you will begin to see more and more advertising appear.
It's just a matter of time before the team logos appear smaller and the ads become bigger and all the while we will play more for the pleasure of watching 3 periods of commercials interspersed with hockey.
If trudeau got in power I would move out of this country and become muslim. World would be lost at that point...
Keep the derogatory comments to a minimum please. Some of us actually are Muslim.
This is awesome, I pray they fire all the dinosaurs at CBC except for Cherry!!!
I hope Rogers saved enough money to hire a replacement for Gene Principe.
November 27 2013, 12:59PM
I see there are several people who don't understand a few things:
1) The announcing crew for the regional Oiler telecasts are hired by the Oilers. Rogers has little to do with it. If you dislike Principe, write the Oilers.
2) I just talked to a well known former TSN employee. He confirmed what I already knew, that there would be a lot of people moving over from TSN to Sportsnet. So whichever network hockey presentation you prefer is irrelevant. Rogers now has all the content and will therefore have their pick of TV talent. Their broadcast will improve over time.
3) It's true that the government is exploring a la carte channel unbundling. If this happens, TSN and Sportsnet would no longer be subsidized by all cable subscribers and would likely cost between $30 and $40 per month on their own. Obviously the channel with the most desired content would win out in that scenario.
4) I also cut the chord about three years ago as I became frustrated with price increases every 6 months on my already hefty cable bill. With a good outdoor antenna you can receive all the local over the air channels in clean HD. So now that will include HNIC double header on CBC as well as a Saturday game on City TV and perhaps OMNI. City TV will also have a sunday night game apparently. UnblockUs does work well as has already been mentioned.
Don Cherry is the definition of a dinosaur!
I like Maclean and Friedman for commentary and like the Hughson/Simpson duo for broadcasting, but not a big fan of the rest.
Friedman is gold for sure....but I would pay 1 billion $ personally just to Fire Scott Oake
The bottom line is the 5.2 Billion and Rogers profits will come out of the pocket of Canadians.
They never even kissed us first.

Yeah, stupid profit. Profit is terrible. Without profit and trade and markets we would be so much better off. Now let's go hunt some deer with our sharp sticks.
I stopped using cable years ago and now just use the interwebs for errything. Thanks to the multiple lockouts and terrible local NHL team, I don't (fully) financially support hockey. I don't buy merch anymore either and I'm squarely in the NHL's target demographic. I still watch Oilers games on the Internet through uh... Other means but I won't be going back to cable anymore.
I don't blame people for being upset with this deal. It seems like every new deal Bettman does screws over the hard working fans. What's up with that?
Man I don't get it... Why are people complaining? Its so typically Canadian to feel entitled. But sports? Really? People feel entitled to their NHL hockey...
If it costs too much, don't watch. If you don't like the product, don't watch. If you do like it, and its worth the cost for you, great! That's how the real world works.
Maybe some of the lefties out there can get involved here. Regulate it, unionize it, cap it, watchdog it. Send ideas to a policy think tank and figure out how to socially engineer the optimal NHL TV deal that is accessible, honest, fair and FREE for everyone! Maybe get those fat cat executives at Rogers to subsidize it for us.
OR - it could be run like the NFL. A league who has focused on making money and having an amazing product and the end result is THE BEST sports product on the planet.
Like hell I'm going to burn through my data and pay up the ass to watch this turd of a team and product...
You should check out something called wi-fi.

Yes, billionaires and millionaires get more money on the back of the working class.
The discrepancy between the rich and the rest of us continues to grow.
They didn't get rich by sitting on their asses complaining.
I HATE ROGERS, TSN is so much better. I cried when I heard I have to listen to Louie Debrusk explain the game of hockey to his audience like we are all children for the next 12years. May bad things happen to you Louie...... So that my suffering will end.

Hockey is now ruined, more Gene Principe

They didn't get rich by sitting on their asses complaining.
To be fair to Spydyr, our system has done a pretty good job of being biased towards certain groups of wealthy individuals and companies while not always providing an opportunity for individuals from less fortunate backgrounds to succeed. I love the market system for directing many aspects of the economy, but I would double the amount currently invested in public schools and programs targeted towards young individuals in general.
Having a society where economic 'winners' prosper is great, but it needs to provide everyone with a chance to succeed. Then, its up to them if they take it or not.
HNIC has gotten worse over the years IMO. Don Cherry went from being an actual credible hockey commentator/analyst to a "sports entertainment personality". People tune in to coach's corner see what the blow-hard dinosaur is going to do, not to get any insight on the game.
I don't mind the sportsnet product. I'm glad that they'll be able to get better people and improve it, but I watch most of my games on SN already and have no major complaints (minor compaint -> Gene Principe)
On a side note...The white snow background makes the page numbers and "next" and "back" really hard to see.
Okay, whining done!
November 27 2013, 09:26AM
Its time for the Communist Broadcasting Corp to go away. And drop Cherry off at the Tyrell Museum for display.
November 27 2013, 10:08AM
The best thing that the NHL did for me was the lockout before this last one. It showed me that I didn't need hockey and opened my eyes to all the other things I could do with my time and money. I called it quits over this last lockout. I still follow the oilers from time to time but I don't go out of my way to watch and don't give katz a dime of my money. He wants to turn this team into a joke...well... the joke will be on him soon enough, the sheep just need to wake up and pull their heads out of their backsides
Yeah, stupid profit. Profit is terrible. Without profit and trade and markets we would be so much better off. Now let's go hunt some deer with our sharp sticks.
Yes, billionaires and millionaires get more money on the back of the working class.
The discrepancy between the rich and the rest of us continues to grow.
I don't see increase's coming. If this means more hockey on TV to watch, I'm all for it. TSN has dreadful commentary anyways, so good riddance.
One question from me. What happens to TSN now? Their viewership in Canada is going to plummet. Maybe they can work a stronger CFL deal. I'd be all over that.
I think we will finally get back to the great coverage of World Strongman Competitions that we were provided with in the 1990s.
It used to be that you could find a good caber tossing competition just by flipping through the channels, now even finding people carrying fridges in a 50 meter dash is difficult.
Buddy... you don't and won't have to pay for all the turd channels you don't watch. Most likely save money and if you're glued to the tv, well, get a life.
Ok, you seem to be making assumptions.
Mainly, that if they unbundle channels, that it will only cost a fraction of your current cable bill to get the channels you actually watch.
What you don't seem to be taking into account is the nature of the monopoly, and you are assuming the benevolence of the cable companies (and Rogers specifically)
Sure, if you evenly divide what I pay for cable each month by the number of channels, it comes to less than a buck per channel.
But if you think for a minute that all channels will be priced evenly at that low low price, you are crazy.
Rogers will charge whatever the market will bear. This is their past practice in every other aspect of their businesss, they are a publicly traded corp that needs profits to placate shareholders, and they now have a monopoly on the most valuable TV content in Canada.
So how much is watching Oilers games worth to someone in Edmonton? Or watching the Leafs, or Habs, etc.
Expect to pay more for the sports channels necessary to watch the games than you are actually paying now for the bundle that includes TSN+Sportsnet+crap like OLN and the Speed network.
You'll have less channels, albeit probably losing the ones you didn't watch in the first place. And you'll be paying more.
If you think I'm wrong, please provide an example in modern history of a large public corporation gaining a long term, guaranteed monopoly over a valuable commodity by crushing its competitors and then lowering prices to the benefit of consumers.
I'll be waiting, because you won't find one.
I'm not convinced that it will cost the consumer more. The cost of advertising on sports events has increased significantly. This is because it's one of the very few opportunities to actually capture Viewers. Most other advertising opportunity on TV have been challenged by PVR's. People watch sports live so advertising is much more effective on live a broadcasts. I think this new deal represents the fact that sports market advertising is become very lucrative. We will see but I wouldn't agree that price increases are inevitable.

Saying It
Good writing and editing: Deathless prose is not required; good concise standard English is required. Be prepared to have your finding aid edited by those who have been writing these things for a long time. Sometimes editing corrects errors; sometimes it clarifies description. Often editing serves to add words or phrases that appear in finding aids describing materials similar to those in your collection. Editors add these words or phrases to facilitate searching across finding aids.
Timeliness of description: It's tempting to say things like "Fluffy now lives in Cary, N.C., where she teaches obedience classes." Although additions or other circumstances will cause some finding aids to be revised in future, many finding aids will represent their collections for years and years. If your description includes statements that talk about what someone's doing now or where that someone currently lives or how many books she's written, you risk your description becoming quickly outdated. You can get around this by making the description more oblique and therefore more able to endure the test of time. Some examples are:
- ☺ In 2001, Fluffy moved to Cary, N.C., where she taught obedience classes.
- ☺ As of 1969, she had written 18 novels about cane toads in Australia.
- ☺ The Hamptons had 24 children, 16 dogs, and 44 goldfish in 2001.
Lest ye be judged: You may think that the person you're working on was the cat's meow. Please remember, however, that you're writing description, not evaluation or appreciation (that's for the other side of the desk). Keep the judgment out of your words and your tone. Just the facts, please.
Consistency: Please try to be consistent in what you call people, places, things. If she's Mary Virginia del Rio, please don't call her Mary Va. del Rio. Ever. Think searchability.
Verb tenses: Use the present tense when referring to the papers themselves. Use the past tense when referring to actions of the creators or recipients of the papers.
- ☺ There are three letters from John to Mary.
- ☺ In a letter of 3 June 1870, Amos described his trip to High Point, N.C.
Say it and say it again: We don't expect people to read our finding aids from beginning to end. This is especially true of EAD-encoded finding aids, which are designed to help researchers navigate directly to descriptions of the materials of interest. Therefore, do not hesitate to repeat important information (e.g., complete names, full titles of writings, when an event took place) wherever needed. This can get tricky. Ask for help if you are unsure about how much information to add at particular points.
BUT verbosity is discouraged: You're writing description, not deathless prose. Keep it simple both in sentence structure and vocabulary choice. Again, remember that researchers don't typically read through the whole finding aid beginning to end, but seek out the parts that hold particular interest for them.
Finding aid phrases
- Appears to have been: William D. McDowall appears to have been a partner with Charles J. Shannon in the firm of McDowall and Shannon of Charleston, S.C.
- May have been: Articles and writings by D. Hiden Ramsey; some may have been intended as articles for the Asheville Citizen or other publications or as speeches.
- Possibly related to: Account book with entries relating chiefly to food, some show equipment purchased. Page 84 contains an "Academy" account possibly related to construction work at Vine Hill Academy.
- The relation between these materials and other materials in the collection is unclear: There are also envelopes and other papers. The relation between these materials and other materials in the collection is unclear.
- Notable: Notable correspondents include Terry Sanford, Dean Smith, Christopher Fordham, many state and national politicians, and various editors and publishers.
- A few: There are also a few photographs of Leavitt at various stages of his career.
- Chiefly: Antebellum letters are chiefly about farming and family matters.
- Scattered: About half of the undated letters were received by Louisa H. Watkins from relatives, with the bulk of the remainder addressed to her cousin George Hairston. Scattered items appear for Peter Watkins, Lizzie Hairston, and others.
- Unrelated: Chiefly unrelated 19-century letters from several different states collected by James Baylor Blackford of Richmond, Va.
- Loose: The collection contains loose legal papers, pertaining to cases handled by L. B. Wetmore between 1887 and 1918, including contracts, deeds, letters, handwritten notes, briefs, and copies of court filings; memo pads; attorney's pocket docket; and an account book.
- A wide variety of topics:Operations material is chiefly correspondence to and from executives of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. These files deal with a wide variety of topics and provide information on the day-to-day operation of the company.
- A possible structure for scope and content notes:
- The collection includes

Transcribing Titles and Captions
If an unpublished item, such as a photograph or home movie, has a title or caption written on it, we will likely want to replicate that title in the finding aid. We will want to distinguish between titles and captions that come with items (creator-generated information) from the titles and explanations that we provide (archivist-generated information). To do this, we use quotations marks.
- Creator-generated title
For example, a photograph with "Cullom Hall, 1926" written on the back:
<unittitle><title render="doublequote">Cullom Hall, 1926</title></unittitle>
- Archivist-generated title
For example, a photograph that we identify as being Cullom Hall in 1926:
<unittitle>Cullom Hall, 1926</unittitle>
- Creator-generated title with archivist-generated clarifcation
For example, a photograph with "Dean Hall" written on the back but we know that building has been re-named Holdzkom Hall:
<unittitle><title render="doublequote">Dean Hall</title> (now Holdzkom Hall)</unittitle>
- Creator-generated caption
For example, a photograph that we identify as being Cullom Hall in 1926 that has "Be sure to notice the elephant in the background" written on the back:
<unittitle>Cullom Hall, 1926</unittitle></did> <scopecontent>
Caption reads: <emph render="doublequote">Be sure to notice the elephant in the background.</emph>
</scopecontent>
- Archivist-generated caption
For example, a photograph that we identify as being Cullom Hall in 1926, includes a person we identify as Edward Cullom standing on front steps (not noted in original descriptions provided by creator):
<unittitle>Cullom Hall, 1926</unittitle></did> <scopecontent>
Image includes: Edward Cullom.
</scopecontent>
Abstracts and Collection Overviews for Multi-Series Collections
A good way to write a collection overview and the scope and content and biographical/historical abstracts: This is not the only way to write good collection overviews and abstracts, but it usually works pretty well. You may want to ask for guidance on how to do this the first time you give it a try. And see below for what to do when there's only one series.
- Copy all your series descriptions into the collection overview area of the finding aid.
- Edit the descriptions, retaining only the truly significant content (always a judgment call), to create the a collection overview. You may content tag the collection overview or leave it for the cataloger.
- Copy the collection overview into the scope and content abstract area (<abstract encodinganalog="520">). Omit all internal tagging except <title> and <emph>.
- Edit the scope and content abstract so that it's as concise as possible.
- Stick a bit of biographical/historical information into the biographical/historical abstract (<abstract label="Abstract" encodinganalog="545">). Include enough to identify your creator(s) clearly, but you probably won't duplicate your entire biographical/historical note (unless it's an extremely bare bones biographical/historical note).
- Review both abstracts to make sure that the necessary access points (online catalog headings) can be grounded in one or the other of them.
Abstracts and Collection Overviews for One-Series Collections
If you use the method above to write abstracts and collection overviews when there's just one series, you wind up with pretty much the same description three times in the finding aid (once in the series description, once in the collection overview, and once in the <abstract encodinganalog="520">. This is overkill. If you have only one series, write its description as the collection overview. Use the collection overview as the <abstract encodinganalog="520"> (with editing as needed). At the series level, you may either omit the <scopecontent> note entirely or use it for information that's not appropriate for the collection overview or abstract.
<bioghist> v. <scopecontent>
<bioghist> is about the creator(s) of the materials. <scopecontent> is about the materials in the collection. It's sometimes difficult to separate what goes in one from what goes in the other. Try for as little overlap as possible. For example, if you're working on the papers of a creator who was involved in a particular project and the resulting materials are what's in the collection, talk about the creator's background in <bioghist>. You can also mention that the creator undertook the project at hand. But save the details of the project for <scopecontent>. Here's a short example:
☺ <bioghist> Biographical Note
Alma Ravenal was born in rural Georgia in 1831. Until the age of 25, she worked part-time as a missionary in China. After her return to the United States, she became a trapeze artist, traveling with various small circuses. During this period, she was involved in a project to memorialize great trapeze artists who were also missionaries. Ravenal died in 1876 as a result of a fall during a performance in DosiWallops, Wash.
 </bioghist> <scopecontent> Collection Overview
The collection includes materials, 1870-1876, relating to missionary and trapeze artist Alma Ravenal's efforts to document the history of trapeze artists who were also missionaries. Correspondence, 1870-1876, is chiefly between Ravenal and friends and family members trying to convince her to give up her pursuit. Financial records document expenditures for bail and other expenses Ravenal incurred as she became increasingly vehement in her pursuit. Photographs are largely etc., etc.

Folder Titles
Folder titles: Folder titles come in many shapes and sizes. In general: Do not end folder titles with a period.
- ☺ Steele, Danielle
Use colons to show subordination. Capitalize first word after colon.
- ☺ Missionary Society: Committee on Part-time Missionaries
- ☺ 1901: January-March
- ☺ 1901: Undated
Always use commas before dates:
- ☺ Missionary Society: Minutes, 1901-1903
- ☺ Correspondence, 1901-1902
- ☺ Speeches, 1901-1902
Use commas before locations:
- ☺ Missionary Society: Annual meeting, Raleigh, 1902
Use colons in complex statements:
- ☺ <title render="doublequote">How the West Was Won</title>: Missionary Society, Raleigh, 1966
You may want to use the subordination model cited above when you want to list genre and dates for some folders and genre with modifying information for other folders. For example, a series may contain correspondence, 1901-1956; speeches for which you have both titles and dates; and miscellaneous other items. Remembering that you use a simple comma before locations and before dates, the folder list would look like this:
- ☺ Correspondence, 1901-1902
- ☺ Correspondence, 1903-1956
- ☺ Speech: <title render="doublequote">How I Spent My Summer Vacation</title>, Raleigh, 1922
- ☺ Speech: <title render="doublequote">How the West Was Won</title>: Civitan Club, Chapel Hill, 1960
- ☺ Miscellaneous
Use the Last name, First name format.
- ☺ Godwin, Gail
Creator-generated folder titles: We usually use creator-generated folder titles when we want to make a quick and dirty folder list. Add this statement (or something close) just before the folder list begins when you are using folder titles as received:
- ☺ Note that original file folder titles have, for the most part, been retained.
HOWEVER, take that statement with a grain of salt: Make the list as intelligible as you can without fretting over the contents of each folder. You may have to spell out abbreviations or take a quick look to see what some weird combination of letters and numbers means.
The creator may have been creative with names, punctuation, date style, etc., but you must strive for consistency. Making the creator's folder titles conform to our style is usually just a question of re-ordering the words. Do not hesitate to do this. It's okay to list names in first name, last name order or last name, first name order, but you should pick one and do it consistently throughout the listing.
Folder list order: Folder order should have some kind of logic. Alphabetical or chronological order should be easily discerned. Any other order should make sense in terms of the papers. You are under no obligation to include an <arrangement> statement for each series or subseries. If there is no discernible order (especially in short folder lists), leave the <arrangement> statement out.
Alphabetical by name means last name, first name.
- ☺ Polk, Leonidas LaFayette
Company names that include a person's name are alphabetized by the first letter of the first word in the name.
- ☺ J. M. Dent and Sons
Names: Personal and Corporate
Consistency: Try to be consistent in how you write names. It is often best to use the fullest version of the name first in each section of your EAD finding aid (e.g., abstracts, biographical/historical note, collection overview, c01 series descriptions). In subsequent references within each section, you may use either the last name alone (unless this makes for unclear references) or the most-used combination of given and surname. If the appropriate name is Hetty Betty Bodine, you may refer to her as Bodine or Hetty Betty Bodine or perhaps Hetty Bodine or Hetty. Do not, however, arbitrarily start calling her Hetty B. Bodine or H. Betty Bodine or Betty (unless she went by Betty, in which case, use that name consistently).
Abbreviations: Usually spell out names of corporate bodies. There can be exceptions, but this will be determined on a case-by-case basis, often according to whether or not there is an authority record for a name. For example, use and instead of & unless you know that the authority record specifies & (remember to use & for & in EAD-encoded finding aids).
- ☺ University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- ☺ Smith and Company
Names: Places
Abbreviations: Always use the approved Library of Congress state abbreviations when the state is a modifier. Note that these are NOT the 2-letter standard United States Post Office abbreviations. Note also that there is no space between N. and C. (N.C.) or S. and C. (S.C.) or W. and Va. (W.Va.).
- ☺ Chapel Hill, N.C.
- ☺ Little Rock, Ark.
Alabama: Ala., Alaska: Alaska, Arizona: Ariz., Arkansas: Ark., California: Calif., Colorado: Colo., Connecticut: Conn., Delaware: Del., District of Columbia: D.C., Florida: Fla., Georgia: Ga., Hawaii: Hawaii, Idaho: Idaho, Illinois: Ill., Indiana: Ind., Iowa: Iowa, Kansas: Kans., Kentucky: Ky., Louisiana: La., Maine: Me., Maryland: Md., Massachusetts: Mass., Michigan: Mich., Minnesota: Minn., Mississippi: Miss., Missouri: Mo., Montana: Mont., Nebraska: Neb., Nevada: Nev., New Hampshire: N.H., New Jersey: N.J., New Mexico: N.M, New York: N.Y., North Carolina: N.C., North Dakota: N.D., Ohio: Ohio, Oklahoma: Okla., Oregon: Or., Pennsylvania: Pa., Puerto Rico: P.R., Rhode Island: R.I., South Carolina: S.C., South Dakota: S.D., Tennessee: Tenn., Texas: Tex., Utah: Utah, Vermont: Vt., Virginia: Va., Virgin Islands: V.I., Washington: Wash., West Virginia: W.Va., Wisconsin: Wis., Wyoming: Wyo.
Places as part of name: Always spell out state names when they are part of a name. This also goes for United States.
- ☺ North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research
- ☺ West Virginia Prison for Women
- ☺ United States Senate.
Stand-alones: Always spell out state names when they stand alone. This also goes for United States.
- ☺ She is a native of North Carolina.
- ☺ They came to the United States in 1856.
Use <title> tags to add italics or quotation marks to formal titles; use <emph> tags to add bold, italic, or quotation marks in all other cases.
Italics: Use italics for published books, pamphlets; proceedings, collections of materials (e.g., short story collections, poetry collections), long poems, periodicals, and newspapers (including newspaper sections published separately). Also use italics for motion pictures; major musical works (e.g., operas, symphonies), paintings, drawings, statues, and other works of art. Make sure the </title> tag comes before any ending punctuation.
- ☺ In his <title render="italic">Dictionary of North Carolina Biography</title>, Powell ...*☺ Her column appeared in the <title render="italic">Charlotte News</title>, 1942-1953.
- ☺ He wrote for the <title render="italic">New York Times Book Review</title> regularly between 1966 and 1970.
- ☺ His poetry collection, <title render="italic">Call of the Wildest</title> (Oxford, 1951), won the North Carolina Weird Poetry Society award in 1952.
- ☺ He wrote extensively about seeing a production of <title render="italic">The Emperor Jones</title> in 1939.
Quotation marks: Use quotation marks for theses, dissertations, short stories, short poems, chapters, journal and newspaper articles, columns, and all unpublished works regardless of length. Make sure the </title> tag comes before or after punctuation as appropriate.
- ☺ His novel, <title render="doublequote">Wilder West,</title> was never published.
- ☺ Her column, <title render="doublequote">Little Moi,</title> appeared in the <title render="italic">Chapel Hill Messenger</title>, 1909-1910.
- ☺ His poem, <title render="doublequote">Now There Are None</title> won the Minor Poets of Portland award in 1902.
<title> v. <emph>
<title> and <emph> result in the same outputs to the screen, but they're not the same intellectually. <title> is for titles, italic or quoted; <emph> supplies italic or quotation marks in all other cases. Most of the time, you'll have a title. Examples of correct <emph> usage include:
- ☺ The letter indicates that she was <emph render="doublequote">goosed</emph> by the soldier.
- ☺ In the letter from Gettysburg, Penn., dated 3 July 1863, he wrote, <emph render="doublequote">What the <emph render="italic">HELL</emph> am I doing here?</emph>
- ☺ Her name was McGill, and she called herself <emph render="doublequote">Lil,</emph> but everyone knew her as <emph render="doublequote">Nancy.</emph>
Commas, Other Punctuation, Capitalization
Introductory phrases and clauses: Use a comma to set off all introductory phrases and clauses.
- ☺ In December 1980, she totally freaked out.
- ☺ By the following summer, she was the CEO for a leading corporation.
Terms in series: In a series of three or more terms, use a comma after each term.
- ☺ She traveled to Raleigh, Atlanta, and Memphis.
Names as modifiers: With appositives involving names, add a comma when the full name is used. Leave the comma out when only part of a name is used.
- ☺ His wife, Mary Johnson Smith, ran away in 1806.
- ☺ His daughter Sue was a famous stripper.
Other modifiers: Use commas before and after location names used as modifiers but not before and after Jr./Sr.
- ☺ Goodman moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., in August 1900.
- ☺ Ken Griffey Jr. never attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Quotation marks: Commas and periods go inside quotes, while colons and semi-colons go outside quotes. Check this carefully when doing EAD markup.
- ☺ She called herself <emph render="doublequote">Lil,</emph> but everyone knew her as Nancy.
- ☺ Included is the 1922 version of his unsold novel, <title render="doublequote">When Bad Things Happen to Bad People</title>; his unsold short story, <title render="doublequote">Worser and Worser</title>; and his unsold anthology, <title render="doublequote">Major Works.</title>
Capitalization of series and subseries titles: Do capitalize all of the words in the supplied title at the series and subseries level.
- ☺ Series 1. Correspondence and Related Material
- ☺ Series 2.1. Other Writings
Capitalization of file titles: Unless they are proper nouns or formal titles, only capitalize the first word of a file title.
- ☺ Folder 21 Other materials
- X Folder 21 Other Materials
Capitalization of job titles: Don't capitalize job titles unless they are used as an identifier before a name.
- ☺ She was director of the Sports Information office.
- ☺ Robert Wagner, mayor of New York City, was there.
- ☺ Mayor Robert Wagner of New York City was there.
General: Dates style is as follow. No commas, please.
- ☺ 23 April 1876
- ☺ April 1876
Centuries: Use arabic numerals for centuries. Include a hyphen if the century is used as an adjective.
- ☺ 19th century
- ☺ 20th century
- ☺ 10th century
- ☺ 18th-century politics
Date spans: Never use a from without a to.
- X She was fire chief from 1906-1920.
- ☺ She was fire chief from 1906 to 1920.
- ☺ She was fire chief, 1906-1920.
Use numerals for centuries.
- ☺ She was the first woman to win the prize in the 20th century.
Use numerals for troop numbers.
- ☺ He served with the 1st North Carolina Volunteers.
Spell out numbers 1-12 when they appear singly in text. Use numerals when they represent a numerical span.
- ☺ She is known to have eaten twelve blueberry pies at the 1907 state fair.
- ☺ Spell out numbers 1-12 when they appear singly in text.
Spell out numbers when they appear at the beginning of sentences (or reconstruct the sentence so that the number does not come first).
- ☺ One hundred years later, he was still eating blueberry pie.
One space rules: Always use ONE space after punctuation (periods, colons, whatever). In an EAD finding aid, there is never a time that you need more than one space in a row.
- X Smith gave birth to sextuplets in 1983.••They were called:••Manny, Moe, Jack, Eloise, Heloise, and Fran.••In 1984, Smith joined the Foreign Legion.
- ☺ Smith gave birth to sextuplets in 1983.•They were called:•Manny, Moe, Jack, Eloise, Heloise, and Fran.•In 1984, Smith joined the Foreign Legion.
Dashes: Dashes should not be surrounded by spaces:
- ☺ 1983-1984
Extra spaces in and around EAD tags: Extra spaces in and around tags are sometimes hard to see, but you must train yourself to be vigilant. These extra spaces show up in the beginning or middle of statements when the document is displayed in xml or html, resulting in too much space between words or causing misalignment of lists (e.g., online catalog terms, folder number lists, folder titles). Extra spaces at the ends of statements do not show up, but are discouraged.
- X <bioghist>Biographical Note

- ☺ <c02><did><container type="folder">1</container><unittitle>Correspondence, <unitdate type="inclusive">1920-1939</unitdate></unittitle></did></c02>
Non-breaking spaces: When you have a close angle bracket (>), a space, and then an open angle bracket (<), the space is dropped by browsers. So:
- X She consulted <subject>archivist</subject> <persname>Nancy Kaiser</persname>.
looks like this:
- X She consulted archivistNancy Kaiser.
To retain that space between the angle brackets, use a non-breaking space. You'll find it at the bottom of the sidebar. When you double click on Non-breaking space, is added to your document:
- ☺ She consulted <subject>archivist</subject> <persname>Nancy Kaiser</persname>.
In browsers, this will look like this:
- ☺ She consulted archivist Nancy Kaiser.
Civil War Letters
When describing a letter written by a Civil War soldier, if possible, include the following in the biographical and scope and content notes:
- the regiment in which the writer served
- if the writer was a soldier or an officer
- where the writer was writing from and where he was writing to (if this is a quick processing job, you can often tell by looking at the very top of the letter and seeing where the writer was positioned—which makes you able to say, for example, that he was writing from Virginia, without reading more in depth)
- what places are referenced in the letters
- what battles are being described
If you are describing the letters in more depth, you can include information about camp life, sickness, death, and other cheerful wartime subjects.
Chair and chairman: If we agree to use chair for both males and females, we cannot go wrong.
Correspondence: Correspondence means an exchange of letters. If we say, Also included is correspondence between Amos Trevellyan and his daughter Alma, we mean that there are letters from Amos to Alma as AND letters from Alma to Amos. Do not use correspondence when there are letters going only one way. If the collection includes chiefly incoming letters and only a few outgoing letters, which may or may not be paired together, correspondence is still the correct term.
- X Included is correspondence Rankin received from supporters.
- ☺ Included are letters Rankin received from supporters.
Copies: Be precise and clear when referring to copies as opposed to original items. Acceptable terms include typed transcriptions, carbon copies, photocopies, photocopies of typed transcriptions, and handwritten copies. Avoid vague terms (e.g., copies).
Things southern: It's the South, not the south. BUT it is southern and southerner, not Southern and Southerner.
- X He was from the south.
- ☺ He was from the South.
- X We traveled South on the highway.
- ☺ We traveled south on the highway.
- X The tea had a very Southern taste.
- ☺ The tea had a very southern taste.
- X He was a Southerner.
- ☺ He was a southerner.
University of North Carolina: Our institution is currently the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It has been so since 1963. Any materials relating to this institution through 1962 are from the University of North Carolina. For the earlier period, you can also say University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill or University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill if you like. Use the appropriate full form of the name the first time it is mentioned in each section (Collection Overview, series/subseries scope and content notes) so that it can be content tagged with <corpname> if needed. For subsequent mentions within sections, you can use UNC or UNC-Chapel Hill as appropriate. Do not use UNC-CH.

As for that clause in the new CBA, it most likely won't be included. Remember both the owners and the players association have to agree to the terms of a new CBA and that would be extremely disadvantageous to the players.

We survey the literature on securitization and lay out a research program for its open questions. Securitization is the process by which loans, previously held to maturity on the balance sheets of financial intermediaries, are sold in capital markets. Securitization has grown from a small amount in 1990 to a pre-crisis issuance amount that makes it one of the largest capital markets. In 2005 the amount of non-mortgage asset-backed securities issued in U.S. capital markets exceeded the amount of U.S. corporate debt issued, and these securitized bonds - even those unrelated to subprime mortgages - were at center of the recent financial crisis. Nevertheless, despite the transformative effect of securitization on financial intermediation, the literature is still relatively small and many fundamental questions remain open.

I really enjoyed Weir - thought there were a few over the top moments but overall, loved his commentating. It might be precisely for that reason that I'm surprised I like anyone else, and perhaps in that sense, especially Weiss. So, my hat's off to him.
Big fan of the Zamboni twins!
Now, bring on Keegan!
^I don't know why this cracks me up, but it does (and not making fun at all!!!!). Anyway, glad you got to see her in the flesh! I know people criticize, but in terms of body of work, I really admire her a lot. And, she seems like a likable person too!
Jonathan is such a wonderful skater, coach and person. I thought his skate was wonderful! All the guys so far skated great!I really admire Jonathan a lot and so hope he knows how special he is; I really appreciate his nationals appearances a lot; sure, I wish he could go further, but he's been, for me, a very special moment at nationals for sometime now and I just love it/him.

And I forgot Zebra could hear the entire conversation Neo was having, looks like they are in some trouble
Chapter 231
Spoiler!Oh boy.... this is going to be amazing.
And I forgot Zebra could hear the entire conversation Neo was having, looks like they are in some trouble
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Oooooo snap! Shit just got real! Im so excited to see these fights now! Setsuno you better not die! Up against the King of cooking, a national treasure, someone who is probably really good in defense and that psycho old bitch lol
Says a lot for someone when you need 4 of the strongest people alive just to take one person out
I was re-reading some chapters and I think Ichiryuu knew that Kousairou and Kuribou were traitors. When he had his meeting of squad 0 lol, he pulled them to the side to ask them something and kind of gave a look too, I hope he sends Atashino the gourmet surgeon to aid Setsuno, maybe heal her if shes on the verge of death. I kind of feel like she should be able to heal herself on her own if shes a national treasure but I just want to take out insurance cause I really don't want her to die :(
Also can't wait to see all those 0 Biotophe guys cut loose!

Chapter 232
Spoiler!Jeez, first off, Joa seems to be a better cook then even Setsuno, and based on how Teppei reacted to him he might even be stronger then her.
And HOLY SHIT O_O Toriko is well done XD (Bad joke XP)
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
^ So u're assuming the cloaked figure at the 4-beast arc was Joa?
Even though it's a possibility, it's a bit too soon to jump to that conclusion if u ask me.
I Have a feeling toriko isn't out just yet.
Last edited by Flare Blitz; 07-10-2013 at 02:00 PM.
I never thought it was Joa either, but now that I think about it, it could be. And of course Toriko isn't out yet lol, hes such a typical Shounen type it hurts to think about it. Some kind of friendship power is going to perk him up when Komatsu shows up, hes going to fight back a little more, either the fight ends and he wins/stalemates or he is on the verge of losing again and then activates his trump card and does autophlagy (sp?) and eats his own gourmet cells, super powers up and pushes Starrjun back. I want to get back to Coco and Zebra! I like having the best for last (Toriko) heh
And Setsuno must have been eating like crazy for her to have stored up so much energy. If it was through food appreciation she must weigh like 100 tons or something lol, very cool either way. And Kuribou needs to have his real hand crushed. Loved how her face turned into something wicked like Chiyo's does!
Also back to Joa, I wonder how massively strong he must be in order to damage Zaus so much it would be embedded in his genes, freaky attack. He probably served up some endangered species to the food competition in order to be kicked out, or maybe even cooked a human lol (if we go back to the theory that it was him who intimidated Teppei with his head in a bowl of fruit). And centuries Setsuno!?! How old is she? Thats pretty nuts if you can live so long
A pie in the sky?
Chapter 234
Sorry I didn't post when the last chapter came up, I've been having trouble getting to a computer.
Spoiler!Boom, Headshot
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Nice chapter but way too short I felt. Komatsu better take care of himself or else hes going to die lol.
A pie in the sky?
I know Komatsu isn't supposed to be strong, but after seeing granny Setsu be the beast that she is, as well as seeing how strong some of the other cooks are. I hope that Komatsu will get some sort of power up in the future. I guess for now just being Toriko's motivation is good enough, but I don't see how he'll be able to go with Toriko to the Gourmet World without a serious power up.
I know he will never be an attacker or aggressive seeing as he is so calm and loves ingredients but I do hope he will learn some defensive techniques or become a little smarter, something like a trapper or be able to use regeneration knives. Its weird because hes such a side character type person but is the main character in this series. Hes not a specialist at anything like the other chefs are (ie deep frying, soups, spices etc) so idk what his skill could be
A pie in the sky?

Fertility FAQs
If you're trying to get pregnant, you may be unsure how to figure out your cycle, improve your chances of getting pregnant, and where you should seek help if you are having trouble conceiving. Knowing your fertile days can help you increase your chances of getting pregnant, as well as understand what's going on in your body. Below are some common questions that arise when discussing fertility.
Fertility & Ovulation
What is a fertile period and how can I determine mine?
Your fertile period is the time of the month you are most likely to become pregnant if you engage in intercourse. An informal way to determine your fertile time is by counting ahead 14 days from the first day of your menstrual period. It usually takes about 14 days after your period to begin ovulating. However, because your cycle is individual to you, the 14-day rule is not the most accurate way to determine your fertile period. Another option is the fertility awareness method (FAM).
What is the fertility awareness method?
FAM is a collection of practices designed to help you recognize signs of increased fertility so that you may either avoid intercourse on fertile days or plan intercourse if you are trying to conceive. There are three important components that make up this method: monitoring the consistency of your cervical mucus, tracking of your basal body temperature, and checking your cervical position. By charting your results every day, you will be able to understand where you are in your cycle.
Why is the consistency of my cervical mucus important?
Changes in the consistency of your mucus typically occur just before ovulation, so it gives a relatively reliable indication that you're approaching your most fertile time.
During most of a menstrual cycle, your cervical mucus is generally thick, opaque and sticky, similar to paste. It does not support sperm in their quest to find the egg because they cannot swim through it, and the acidity of the vagina soon destroys them. Fertile mucus is clear, stretchy, and usually has a thin, watery texture. It provides natural lubrication, so sperm can swim through it easily.
How do I check my mucus for its consistency?
First, wash your hands to avoid germs. The easiest and most accurate way to check your cervical mucus is by inserting your finger into your vagina and circling it around your cervix. If you would prefer to use toilet paper, simply use it to wipe the entrance to your vagina; however, this method will not provide the most accurate sample.
Once you have obtained some mucus, stretch it between your thumb and index finger to test its consistency. If it looks clear and stretches between your fingers, you are probably close to ovulating and your chances of getting pregnant are high.
How do I check my basal body temperature?
Your basal body temperature is your temperature when you first wake up in the morning, and though charting it may sound daunting, the task is really pretty easy. What you are looking for is a shift in your temperature of at least .4 degrees Fahrenheit over a 48-hour period, which indicates you have ovulated.

Last season, Mississippi State ranked a respectable fifth in the SEC in red zone offense, scoring on 85 percent (34 of 40) of its trips inside opponents' 20-yard line. But if you break it down further, it's clear that the Bulldogs were not great at finishing drives.
Of those 34 scores, 22 were touchdowns. So, only 55 percent of MSU's trips into the red zone resulted in touchdowns. That ranked ninth in the SEC. The 22 red-zone TDs were tied for eighth with Auburn. The run/pass split was even: 11 were rushing touchdowns, 11 passing. Tailback Vick Ballard, not surprisingly, led the way with five red-zone scores, four of them rushing.
Quarterback Chris Relf had a couple of rushing TDs, and he and Tyler Russell had five touchdown passes apiece inside the 20. Tight end Malcolm Johnson had three scores through the air.
Ballard and Relf are gone. Johnson is injured. Russell is back, and with the Bulldogs expected to be more of a passing team this year, I suppose it starts with him in the red zone. Those TD numbers only tell part of the story, of course; Ballard did a good job moving the chains between the 20 and the goal line. Can LaDarius Perkins (5-foot-10, 190 pounds) fill that role, or will it have to be the inexperienced (but bigger, at 6-foot, 225 pounds) Nick Griffin?
Don't discount the possible impact Joe Morrow could have. He's only a redshirt freshman, but he's also 6-4, 205 and, as his coaches have said often, can be open when he's not open. Can you say fade route?
The offensive line obviously plays a big role here. The Bulldogs look strong in the middle, which is where most of the tough yards come. The tackles are the question marks, so you wonder how effective a guy like Perkins can be on the edge on such a short field, or how Russell will be able to make good, quick decisions against an attacking defense.
MSU's offense is expected to be improved this season, and a true measure of that will how well it can punch it in those last few yards.

Approximately 630 undergraduates received degrees in about 50 different majors, including psychology, business, sociology, economics, accounting and history. Graduates hail from nine states and 11 different countries, including Bangladesh, China, Cyprus, Mexico, Serbia, Sweden and South Africa. The oldest graduate is 54, while the youngest is 20. Males make up about 53 percent of the class, and there are 14 veterans receiving degrees.
About 440 graduate students received a master's degree, a doctorate or a graduate certificate at commencement. The most popular degree programs include public health, information science and mental health counseling. Graduate students come from 15 states and 24 countries, including Belarus, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Peru and Turkey. About 64 percent are females, and there are seven veterans receiving degrees.
Internationally Acclaimed Writer, Carol Gilligan
Acclaimed psychologist and prolific writer, Carol Gilligan is considered to be a pioneer of gender studies, particularly the psychological and moral development of girls. As a feminist, scholar, professor and author, she has helped to form a new direction for women.
Gilligan began her career in academia at Harvard in 1967. She subsequently became a research assistant for Lawrence Kohlberg, who is known for his research on moral development and his stage theory of moral development, justice and rights.
In 1982 she published her landmark book, In A Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development, which attacked accepted notions of female growth and development and was the very first study to draw attention to the silencing of adoles¬cent girls. The book had an enormous impact on a variety of fields, including psychology, education, gender studies, and feminist theory. Since its publication, Gilligan has become one of the world's most respected thinkers on gender issues.
Gilligan received tenure as a full professor for the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1986, and spent 1992-1994 teaching at the University of Cambridge in England as a Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions. In 1997, she became Harvard's first professor of Gender Studies, occupying the Patricia Albjerg Graham chair.
The recipient of numerous awards, Ms. Magazine named Gilligan Woman of the Year in 1984. She received a Senior Research Scholar award from the Spencer Foundation and a Grawemeyer Award for her contributions to education in 1992. She also received a Heinz Award for her contributions to understanding the human condition. In 1996, she was named one of Time Magazine's 25 most influential people in America.
Distinguished Public Servant, John Egan
John C. Egan's distinguished career with the State of New York spans more than fifty years. Egan has dedi¬cated his career to serving the greater community and in doing so, he has shaped the local landscape. He has been centrally involved in many projects across the Capital Region including the construction of the Empire State Plaza and the Harriman Office Building Campus, both iconic features of the Albany skyline.
From 1980-1989, Egan served as commissioner of the Office of General Services (OGS) under Governors Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo. In addition to his OGS service, Egan was appoint¬ed executive director of the New York State Dormitory Authority and commissioner of the New York State Department of Transportation. Egan previ¬ously served as chairman of the Harriman Research and Technology Development Corporation, a partner¬ship involving UAlbany that sought to create research and office facilities on the Harriman Campus for science and technology innovation. He also served as executive director of the New York State Task Force on High Speed Rail.
Beyond his record of excellence in state service, Egan continued to make major contributions to the Capital Region while serving as chief executive officer of the Albany International Airport from 1995-2003. There he oversaw a complete renovation of the facility, and was also instrumental in establishing the airport's relationship with Southwest Airlines.
A veteran of the United States Army and a member of numerous civic and professional organi¬zations, Egan has served on several boards, including the Wildwood Programs Advisory Board, the Implementation Team for Tech Valley High School, and the Board of Trustees for Catholic Charities. He is a member and/or trustee of numerous business groups such as Center for Economic Growth, the Chamber of Commerce, and the American Legion.comments powered by Disqus

I am considering replacing my existing 30+ year old galvanized pipe with copper. The job seems rather simple but 2 areas where the pipe goes to the outside faucets will be real difficult to get to. Both of these lines have brass shut offs prior to them going to outside. My question is can I have copper going to brass shut offs that then go to existing galvanized pipe or will I get electrolytic corrosion. I know I can mix brass with copper and brass with galvanized with out problem but what happens when I mix the 3.

With baseball shoes available in a wide range of sizes, from size 1 to 15, it's easy to find a pair to outfit the youngest Little League players or adult athletes. Our baseball cleats are offered in both D and EE shoe widths to accommodate wide feet that require a bit more interior room.
Keep your cleats tight and secure with a pair of lace-up shoes that not only look great out on the field but also feel nice and snug while you're rounding bases or running to catch that outfielder. Baseball cleats with self-adhesive straps are better for younger players, allowing miniature athletes to quickly slip the shoes on and off without having to worry about tripping over loose laces.
When it comes to baseball cleats, there are generally 3 styles: metal baseball cleats, molded baseball cleats and baseball turf shoes. Metal cleats are the highest-performance option of the 3, featuring thin, sharp spikes that provide excellent traction on dirt and grass. If you're selecting kids' baseball cleats, you'll probably want a pair with molded rubber spikes, which are safer and more forgiving. Shoes designed for use on turf are great for wearing during practices, so you can preserve your pair of metal cleats for the big game.

Canada beats Costa Rica in sitting volleyball opener at Défi Sportif
MONTREAL – Canada overcame two big deficits in the second set en route to a 25-9, 25-22, 25-27, 25-21 victory over Costa Rica in its opening match in men's sitting volleyball at the Défi Sportif multi games event for athletes with a disability.
Both squads are preparing for the Para PanAm Games and Paralympic qualification in Guadalajara, Mexico this November.
After an easy first set victory, Canada was trailing by 16-9 at one point in the second set. Jose Rebelo of Montreal rang off three consecutive aces to bring Canada to within two at 18-16.
A kill by Doug Learoyd of Calgary tied the set 19-19. Learoyd also put Canada ahead for the first time 22-21 with a service ace. Rebelo's kill at 24-22 gave Canada a 2-0 set lead. The Canadians returned the favour in the third squandering leads but bounced back in the fourth once again highlighted by Rebelo's strong serving.
"I was impressed at how Costa Rica improved as the match went on,'' said Canada's head coach Ian Halliday. ''They looked nervous playing in their first international match but settled down after the first set and made us work hard to earn our points."
