Overcoming fears can give any person a new stronger outlook on things, even when those potential apprehensions have chances on coming back.
A person can let them come back to haunt them or they can just crush the fears for good and take control of their destiny.
The latter is what Dodge City senior Dane Edwards when he took full control of his fears and completed his high school career as the 138-pound champion at the Class 6A state wrestling meet Saturday night at Hartman Arena.
Edwards' fear had been his rival and opponent in the final: Garden City's A.J. Hurtado, a wrestler he had never beaten before this season. That changed about a month ago after a discussion with his parents and his coaches a few days after Hurtado had beaten Edwards in the Newton Tournament of Champions.
Edwards turned around and beat Hurtado in a Western Athletic Conference dual at The New Garden a few days later. However, because of injuries suffered by Hurtado later that week in a tournament in Garden City and Edwards having to take an injury default setback to the Buffalo wrestler in last week's regional; this had been the first time the two had met since Edwards' victory.
"I was scared at first, but I put everything in God's hands," Edwards said. "I went out there and wrestled my style. I really wasn't scared of him, but was more cautious of him this year because I didn't want to mess up. I learned to relax when I wrestled him and was able to just wrestle the way I wanted to."
The final match opened with Edwards getting a takedown in the first period, but Hurtado quickly got an escape for what ended up being his only point. Hurtado called to be in the down position in the second period and Edwards was able to get a near fall with a cradle for the only three points in the second quarter.
Edwards quickly escaped from the down position in the third period, then recorded a take down and another three-point near-fall cradle to complete the scoring and to take the title by an 11-1 major decision.
"I had the mindset going into the match to end my career with a big 'W'," Edwards said. "I had the mindset going into the match with a big W. Beating him was just the icing.
"It was amazing. I wanted it so bad and I knew he wasn't going to give it to me, so I worked for it. Knowing I was going to have to work for it was only going to make it better."
Edwards finished his senior season with 34-3 record and his third medal at the state meet (he was third in 2012 at 126 pounds and sixth in 2011 at 119 pounds). He is the first state champion for the Red Demons since Jesse Trent in 2011 at 285 pounds.
"Edwards had never wrestled in the state finals," said DCHS head coach Lars Lueders. "This was the pinnacle of his career and he wrestled as best as he could and got the win."
The Red Demons did have one streak end in finishing 15th as a team with 49.5 points (the last five DCHS squads finished in the top 10), but that streak wasn't what those who qualified for state had to overcome. The Demons only qualified four to the state meet, but had three earn medals at the meet.
"This season ended more about quality than quantity," Lueders said. "Obviously we want more wrestlers in the state meet, but placed three out of the four wrestlers who went, so we can't be too disappointed about how things went at the state level."
Freshman Clay Weil (38-10) placed fourth at 120 pounds. Weil won his first two matches of the tournament Friday night, then lost a 6-4 decision in the championship semifinals to eventual state champion Kevin Perez of Junction City.
Weil closed out with a win the bracket semifinals and lost in the third place match to finish the weekend with a 3-2 record.
"I could have done a little bit better," Weil said. "A lot of people say that freshman usually don't get on varsity, much less qualify for state; but I'm not a usual freshman. I think I'm a pretty good wrestler and to finish fourth was a good accomplishment."
Lueders added: "Weil's goal was to be a state champ, but he wrestled tough and medaled as a freshman., He'll build experience from here and will have a great career."
Sophomore Jaden McRoberts came back from a first round loss to finish fifth in the in the 113-pound division. McRoberts (34-13) won four of his six matches with both losses coming to Gardner-Edgerton's T.J. Burger.
"I felt like I did pretty good and came out and wrestled like I was supposed to," McPherson said. "I was pleased with getting the medal. I worked all season to get it."
Lueders said McRoberts had the most interesting tournament of all who went with three of his matches going into overtime.
"McRoberts showed a lot of guts to go through the consolation bracket after losing his first match to medal," Lueders said. "He beat a couple of ranked wrestlers and we're real proud of what he did at that consolation bracket."
Garden City won the team title with 173.5 points on the weekend, with Junction City finishing second at 125.5 and Derby third (117.5).
NO FEAR: Edwards wins state title at wrestling meet
Overcoming fears can give any person a new stronger outlook on things, even when those potential apprehensions have chances on coming back.

Blogger Emlyn Chand has come up with a wonderful challenge for this New Year. In her introductory post, she encourages participants to discuss why we love reading, list some of our favorite books of all time, and to re-read one of those old favorites every month and write a review sharing why we loved it then and how we feel about it now. I am delighted to have an excuse to lose myself once again in the pages of such classics as Bambi, Little Women and The Hobbit. Read on!
I was one of those kids who read under the covers by flashlight long after I was supposed to be asleep. My elementary school librarian introduced some of her favorite authors, like Carolyn Haywood, E. B. White, and Lloyd Alexander; Betsy and Billy, Wilber the Pig (from Charlotte's Web), and Taran, Wanderer became as real to me as my classmates. I wept when Sikes murdered Nancy; I couldn't for the life of my understand what Scarlett saw in Ashley Wilkes. I was one of the few kids in my class allowed the privilege of checking out books from the adult section of the bookmobile – after I devoured all the children's books on the shelves – and I thoroughly enjoyed my stint as a volunteer in the middle school library. I taught my dolls how to read, shared all my favorite picture books with my baby brother, and had a hard time choosing which three books to order each time the Scholastic Book Club brochures came home from school.
The truth of the matter is that, in my experience, the reading and the writing were inseparable. I have vague memories of shaping letters with big, fat pencils on Indian Chief tablets, stringing the letters together to create words and eventually arranging the words into sentences. Oh, the power! I wrote poetry, short stories, and essays; I kept a diary and composed long letters and sent them to my pen pal in Japan. Is it any wonder that I'm writing novels these days?
The longer I think about it, the more books come to mind, and the more excited I become about revisiting them. If you think you might like to join the fun, simply click the badge at the top of this post and you will be directed to Emlyn's introductory post containing guidelines. Otherwise, just keep following this blog for my reviews.
What were some of your childhood favorites?

As the world awaits England's impending little royal bundle of joy, the marketing folks at Pizza Hut are hatching their own plans to tie in with the event: They will be announcing a Royal Offer of their own via the Royal Easel.
Tradition dictates that the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby, who will be officially titled "His or Her Royal Highness Prince or Princess of Cambridge" and whose debut is expected any day now, is to be announced officially on a Royal Easel outside Buckingham Palace.
Not to be outdone on this side of the Atlantic, Pizza Hut has already set up what it calls a "Royal Cheasel" outside its headquarters in Plano, Texas, and stationed – at least for photographic purposes – a member of its marketing team, dressed in royal reds and an English Beefeater's hat, to stand guard.
The easel letter currently says: "The High Order of Pizza Hut of the United States of America proudly bequeaths a ROYAL OFFER to its loyal fans and followers."
Doug Terfehr, Pizza Hut's director of public relations, explained in an email that "on the day the baby is born, the brand will display the offer, and then Tweet, Instagram and Facebook details of the deal to its loyal fans."
Terfehr offered no details or whether it would be a, ahem, bundled offer.
With social media, marketing is little like a diaper: It's being changed.

My favorite character is Violet. I like her because she has a knack for inventing things. I find her interesting because whenever she is thinking about an invention, she ties her hair up into a ribbon. One of the best inventions Violet made was a super long rope made out of extension cords, ties, and curtains. She tied all of them together with a Devil's tongue knot. One of my favorite parts of The Ersatz Elevator is when the 3 Baudelaire's and their new dad Jerome go to Cafť Salmonella. Whatever they order has salmon in it, even the water had little chunks of frozen salmon floating in it. The worst part of all is that all of the waiters had the same salmon suit on. The Ersatz Elevator is part of a series called A Series of Unfortunate Events. It is similar to the other books in the series because in every book Count Olaf is in disguise (except for the first book) and is always lurking near the Baudelaire's. They're different because in each book there is a different guardian. My sister Hannah reminds me of Klaus the middle Baudelaire who is 12 years old. Klaus reminds me of my sister because Klaus LOVES to read and so does my sister Hannah.
I would recommend this book because it is a thrilling adventurous story. If you would like to find out an evil villains secret plan, then I think that you will enjoy this book. Personally, I think that Lemony Snicket is an amazing author, and that he explains everything in great detail.

DescriptionThe space ship Monotros has returned after receiving an SOS call to save his home world (Volfied) from alien invaders and has to defeat a different boss and his minions in each level. Volfied is very similar to Qix -- the player takes control of an ship/object whose purpose is to roam the screen, forming shapes and removing them from the play field. By way of reward, a picture is gradually revealed in the removed areas of the screen. The borders of the area which the player has not cleared become the border of the area the player's pointer can move along. When not cutting the ship is protected by a shield the shield decreases over time and when it hits zero the enemies can also killl you when not cutting.
The player's object must avoid contact with any of the enemies which float around the screen, as this will weaken and eventually destroy it. Barriers limit which parts of the border boxes can be formed through. The goal is to clear 80% or more of the screen, and each additional percent adds bonus points. Most levels contain power-up blocks these power-ups can be claimed when the area around it is removed. Possible power-ups are increased speed (S), time frees for the enemies (T), pause you shield from counting down (P), a laser to shoot the smaller enemies (L), all smaller enemies are killed instantly (C) and a weapon to kill the boss (a red tomato only found in blocks with the red light).
This game allows for one or two player games in three difficulty levels, but offers no passwords or saved games across its numerous levels.

In the case of Ireland, there is a wealth of material available detailing the history of the country. With respect to the legal life of Ireland after 1937, one very interesting resource to view is Bunreacht na hÉireann, The Constitution of Ireland. By viewing this legal document we can gain insight into both the social and political structures, and strictures, which governed the lives of our 20th century family members.
Bunreacht na hÉireann was enacted by the people of Ireland on 1 July 1937, and was 'fully operational', as they say, on 29 December 1937. This new constitution replaced the 1922 Constitution of the Irish Free State. It is interesting to note that 1,212,050 people voted in the referendum. Of these 685,105 voted in favour of the new constitution, and 526,945 voted against it. The constitution was carried by a majority of only 158,160 votes, meaning fully 43.5% of the voting population was against this constitution. I'll leave it to those historians who write about legislative history to puzzle out this fact.
One of the sections of the Irish Constitution which most interests me is the Statutes section in which Fundamental Rights are defined, in particular those rights which relate to the family and the role of women.
Under the heading THE FAMILY, the following Article appears:
1. 1° The State recognises the Family as the natural
primary and fundamental unit group of Society,
and as a moral institution possessing inalienable
imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior
to all positive law.
2. 1° In particular, the State recognises that by her
life within the home, woman gives to the State a
support without which the common good cannot
be achieved.
2. 2° The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure
that mothers shall not be obliged to by economic
necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of
their duties in the home.
After reading this section of Bunreacht na hÉireann for the first time, I felt as though I understood why, when I was a young girl, my mother was always troubled by the thought that I desired a university career, and was not particularly interested in either getting married or having children. As you can see in the Irish constitution, the role of woman is very clearly prescribed; her place is in the home, and her role is mother. Reading this also gave me some insight into why it may have been that one of the childless women on my paternal family tree, my grand-aunt Mary Magee Halpin, was treated with some contempt. The fact of her not having children was viewed by some members of the family as unnatural and a mark of her selfishness, rather than a fact of her biology. To see the role of mother enshrined in the constitution in this way emphasizes the extent to which this ideal was truly woven into the fabric of Irish society.
There are also many other interesting sections in the Constitution worth a read, such as the articles on the right of freedom of expression, the right to education, and the right to religious freedom. If you have family members who lived in Ireland in the 20th century, during the period after which the constitution was enacted, or who still live in Ireland, you may want to have a look at this document.
You can view Bunreacht na hÉireann online by visiting the Irish Statute Book website. You can search or browse the entire text of the document on this site, as well as view other documents germane to the legal history of Ireland. The site is maintained by the Office of the Attorney General of Ireland. If you want to access the information via an iPad, The Irish Statute Book is also available as an app on iTunes.

Apartment 1303 3D (2012) - Synopsis
Having grown up under the controlling grip of her fame-hungry mother (Rebecca De Mornay), Janet Slate (Julianne Michelle) jumps at the opportunity to move into what looks to be a great high-rise apartment in downtown Detroit. Yet some deals are too good to be true as one night her boyfriend Mark (Corey Sevier) finds her in the middle of the street - having fallen from the balcony thirteen stories above. When her sister Lara (Mischa Barton) tries to investigate the mystery of what happened, she moves into the same apartment and encounters the odd neighbors in the building, including an eerie nine-year old girl who seems to somehow know the real reason for Janet's fall. Lara soon realizes that her sister's death might spell the same fate for her unless she can overcome the strange events that are terrorizing the inhabitants in Apartment 1303.

'Total Disaster'
"In case you haven't seen a sales report these days, February MTD sales are a total disaster," Jerry Murray, Wal- Mart's vice president of finance and logistics, said in a Feb. 12 e-mail to other executives, referring to month-to-date sales. "The worst start to a month I have seen in my ~7 years with the company."
Other chain stores followed Wal-Mart lower, with Safeway Inc., Target Corp. and Macy's Inc. retreating more than 1 percent. Herbalife Ltd. surged 1.2 percent after billionaire investor Carl Icahn reported a 13 percent stake in the company and said he would seek talks with the nutritional supplements company to discuss strategic alternatives.
Economic Data
Equities rose earlier after the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment for February rose to 76.3, beating the median of estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists for a reading of 74.8. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index climbed to 10, the highest since May 2012 and beating the highest economist forecast in a survey. The median projection called for minus 2. Readings of less than zero signal contraction in New York, northern New Jersey and southern Connecticut.
Two-year Treasury yields increased less than one basis point to 0.27 percent, while 30-year rates added less than one basis points to 3.18 percent. The dollar was stronger against 10 of 16 peers, rising the most against the currencies of South Africa, New Zealand and Canada.
Another report showed industrial production in the U.S. unexpectedly shrank in January as factories took a breather after the biggest back-to-back gain in three decades. Output at factories, mines and utilities fell 0.1 percent after a 0.4 percent gain in December, figures from the Federal Reserve showed today in Washington.

LONDON — In a turnaround that left Michael Phelps and his teammates in stunned silence Sunday night, the 400-meter freestyle relay gold medal that the U.S. had in its grasp slipped away in a late surge by the final French swimmer.
Ryan Lochte, swimming the anchor leg for the U.S., touched .45 of a second later than Yannick Agnel. The Russian team won bronze, ahead of the Australians, heavily favored going into the race with their self-described "weapons of mass destruction team."
It was redemption for Phelps, who had failed to medal in his first race on Saturday but was easily the fastest American in Sunday's relay. It was a reality check for Lochte, who was enjoying his trajectory over the rival who has long overshadowed him. And it was also payback, for the French, who in one of the most thrilling versions of this event, in the 2008 Games, lost their own race in the final strokes to the U.S. team.
"It is very frustrating that we lost but this is going to be something that's going to motivate us and motivate the guys that are going to step over in our shoes the next couple years and hopefully we do get this race back," Phelps said.
It was the first silver medal that Phelps has won in four Olympics and increased his overall medal count to 17, one behind the record held by gymnast Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union. He now has 14 golds, one silver and two bronze. He won't add to the total today because his next individual event, the 200 butterfly, swims preliminaries and semifinals today.
On Sunday, Phelps seemed to look back at the scoreboard several times as if in disbelief at the results — 3:09.93 for the French, 3:10.38 for the U.S.
Although he traditionally leads off, Phelps swam the second leg Sunday. Sprinter Nathan Adrian went first, and handed Phelps a lead. The Baltimore swimmer more than protected it, posting the fast split of the team, 47.15 seconds.
Phelps said he asked to be moved from leading off so he could follow Adrian.
"I'd been practicing going off Nathan's relay exchanges" in training camp, Phelps said. "Coach [Gregg] Troy asked me where I wanted to go, I said, 'Where's Nathan going to go, I want to go behind him.'
"Nathan swam a great opening leg, putting us out into open water. I just tried to give us even more open water," he said.
Phelps handed the lead off to Cullen Jones, a Beijing relay teammate, who left it in the hands of his good friend and Olympic Village roommate, Lochte.
But then, Lochte's path to emerge from Phelps' shadow hit a roadblock. Lochte already had swum the 200-meter freestyle semifinal earlier in the evening, and seemed to run out of steam as Agnel crept closer and closer until he touched the wall first.
"We were all screaming, screaming, 'Touch the wall,' to Lochte, Jones said. He did, but second, and remained in the water, as his teammates clustered around the starting block mostly in silence. Eventually Lochte emerged, and Phelps, who was receiving hugs and handshakes from the French swimmers, embraced him.
Lochte said he thinks he was a little over-excited swimming a non-familiar race — he generally races in the 200-meter category — and didn't pace himself.
"We had our best four guys and we went out there to win it and we came up short," Lochte said. "I'm kind of bummed because when we get on the blocks, we always want to win."
His teammates refused to criticize him. "I already told him," Jones said, "it's OK."
"It's a tough loss," Adrian said, before reversing himself and saying it wasn't necessarily that. "We frame it as we won a silver medal."
The relay capped an action-packed night on this, the second day of the Olympic swimming competition.
Setting an American record, Allison Schmitt of North Baltimore Aquatic Club won a silver medal swimming the 400-meter freestyle in 4:01.77 minutes. She hung tough with the winner, Camille Muffat, from start to finish, with the French swimmer setting an Olympic record with her 4:01.45 finish.
Rebecca Adlington of Great Britain, who barely made the final and swam from lane eight, won bronze — the host country's first swimming medal.
American Dana Vollmer set a new world record in the 100-meter butterfly final, swimming it in a scorching 55.98. She already had set a new Olympic record in Saturday's preliminaries with a 56.25-second swim.
And Brendan Hansen, who came back after a couple of years away from the sport, won a bronze medal in the 100-meter breaststroke.Japan'sKosuke Kitajima, who had a chance to become the first man to win three gold medals in the same event in three Olympics — something Phelps is also attempting — didn't medal.
But the 400 free relay was the marquee event. Who would swim for the U.S. was a tightly kept secret until shortly before the evening program got underway.
There were questions over whether Phelps, coming off of his 400 IM loss on Saturday, would swim despite the many times he has led off the relay.
Troy, though, had said such experience may be considered, "but the reality of the matter is there are some young people [who] swim real fast at this meet."
The U.S. was seeded second after the preliminary heats, after Australia which, at least in the morning lived up to their fearsome reputation.
Swimming in the preliminary for the U.S. was Jason Lezak, 36, the anchor who overtook the French and delivered the victory in the 2008 Games.
What a difference four years make, and, for that matter, when it comes to Phelps and Lochte, what a difference a day makes.
Lochte is fifth seeded going into in the 200-meter freestyle final, advancing without teammate Ricky Berens, who just missed the cut with a ninth-place finish. Berens also swam the preliminary of the 400-meter freestyle relay
Seventeen-year-old Missy Franklin advanced to the 100-meter backstroke final, without teammate Rachel Bootsma. Rebecca Soni and Breeja Larson made it into the finals of the 100-meter breaststroke. Matt Grevers, who also swam in the 400 free relay prelims, advanced to the 100-meter backstroke finals.

About MAPS
Cary Nelson, Editor
This website grew out of the experience of editing the Anthology of Modern American Poetry for Oxford University Press. Both I and the members of my Advisory Board realized that readers would benefit from having information readily available that could not possibly fit in a book. This ranged from historical background to analyses of the poems themselves. The site is designed to help all readers of modern poetry, not just readers of the Oxford anthology. Thus anyone interested in Robert Frost or H. D. or E. E. Cummings or Patricia Smith or any of the other poets should find interesting material here.
Just as the anthology itself is designed to win new readers for the poets included, so too is the website designed to help draw attention to the many fine critical and historical books written about American poetry. If you enjoy the excerpts reprinted here, we urge you to read the books in their entirety. If your local library does not own them, we urge you to recommend their purchase.
The nature of each site depends on what makes sense for a particular author or group of authors. The Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, and William Carlos Williams sites are so far largely devoted to readings of their poems, whereas the Kay Boyle, Angel Island, and Japanese American Concentration Camp sites are largely devoted to historical background. The Harry Crosby site draws heavily on his wonderful archive at Southern Illinois University. We welcome archival contributions for other authors. Most sites devoted to individual poets should, however, eventually have a biographical entry and bibliography. In the course of its first year MAPS evolved into an online journal. By the middle of 2001 MAPS had published over fifty original essays, including
- Joseph Aimone, "Angelina Weld Grimke's 'A Mona Lisa': A Kleinian Reading"
- Melissa Bradshaw, "Reading Amy Lowell's Body(s)"
- Ed Brunner, "Illustrated Editions of THE BRIDGE"
- Joshua Charlson, "On Anthony Hecht's 'More Light! More Light!'"
- Tim Dean, "Strange Paradise: An Essay on Mark Doty"
- Roger Gilbert, "On Robert Pinsky's 'Shirt'"
- Donald Gutierrez, "An Essay on Rexroth's Poetry"
- Linda Hamalian, "Re-Discovering Community: Rexroth and the Whitman Tradition"
- Meta DuEwa Jones, "On Michael Harper's 'Brother John'"
- Matthew Lessig, "On Sterling Brown's 'Sharecroppers'"
- Elizabeth Majerus, "On Mina Loy's 'Songs to Joannes'"
- Karen Polster, "Major Themes and Influences of the Poems at Angel Island"
- Alan Wald, "Sol Funaroff: Apollinaire of the Proletariat"
In some cases MAPS is the only source for scholarly commentary on a given poet's work. Even for well-known poets MAPS often offers the only detailed analyses of particular poems. Less than two years after going on line, MAPS included previously unpublished analyses of Sherman Alexie's "Scalp Dance for Spokane Indians," Kay Boyle's "A Comunication to Nancy Cunard," John Beecher's "Beaufort Tides," Countee Cullen's "Tableau," Louise Erdrich's "Dear John Wayne," Martin Espada's "Federico's Ghost," "Imagine the Angels of Bread," amd "The Skull Beneath the Skin of the Mango," Kenneth Fearing's "Dirge," Langston Hughes's "The Bitter River" and "Madam and the Phone Bill," Adrian Louis's "A Colossal American Copulation," Claude McKay's "The Harlem Dancer," Scott Momaday's "Purple," "Buteo Regalis," "Rings of Bone," "Carriers of the Dream Wheel," and "December 29, 1890," Edna St. Vincent Millay's "I Forgot for a Moment" and "Sonnets from an Ungrafte Tree," Wendy Rose's "Truganinny," Carl Sandburg's "Elizabeth Umpstead" and "Planked Whitefish," Gertrude Stein's "Patriarchal Poetry," Genevieve Taggard's "Everyday Alchemy" and "Mill Town," Lucia Trent's "Breed, Women, Breed," Jean Toomer's "Portrait in Georgia," and Richard Wright's "We of the Streets," among others. We invite further submissions through the online submission forms. MAPS is both an archive and a refereed journal.
MAPS also includes excerpts from previously published analyses of poems, biographical information, relevant illustrations (such as book jackets, broadsides, paintings, drawings, comics, and photographs), manuscripts, drafts of poems, bibliographies, historical background, statements on poetics, interviews, mini-essays on important issues pertinent to the poet, book reviews, archival resources, and study questions. Contributors are encouraged to be imaginative and inventive.

What materials can I submit to MAPS?
We currently accept both critical and pedagogical materials, as well as materials that may transcend these traditional boundaries.
How can I submit to MAPS? Do I need to know anything about web design to contribute to MAPS?
Just attach your contribution to the Critical or Teaching Materials submission form (we prefer word processing files, though we will also accept high-quality PDFs) and we will do the rest. You do not need to be a web master. Please feel free, however, to make comments regarding layout or stylistic elements and we will do our best to incorporate these into the online display.
Can I publish my new, original essay on MAPS?
Absolutely. We are particularly excited to receive original materials. MAPS functions as both a critical/pedagogical archive and an online journal, stressing the connection between previous and current scholarship. As a flexible digital medium, MAPS is especially well-suited to presenting especially short or long essays, essays that organized non-linearily, and essays that are heavily illustrated. We will include a copyright notice along with the author's name and all submissions are refereed. MAPS has a diverse audience of students, faculty, and general readersan audience otherwise difficult to reach.
What if I do have experience in web design or digital humanities and would like to submit a more interactive contribution? What if an essay is already digitally encoded?
MAPS has a distinct advantage over print journals in that it is able to incorporate interactive and formally experimental materials, such as essays and syllabi, that link to materials already available on the website or hosted elsewhere. We are very excited to receive such materials that stretch the boundaries of both digital humanities and modern American poetry scholarship. If you are interested in submitting such materials, please send us a note on our Questions and Comments submission form and we will discuss with you the logistics of incorporating the materials into the site.
How can I send illustrations?
The easiest way to send illustrations is to use the Critical Submissions form. You can attach the image directly or send us a url to a website where the image is permanently available. We will need permission to host copyrighted materials on the MAPS site.
What about audio or video?
We do not currently have a way to directly upload audio or video, but we are excited to receive these materials and encourage you to send us a note on our Questions and Comments submission form.
Can poems be included?
Only within certain limits. Poems published in 1923 or earlier (OR poems by authors who died 70 or more years ago) can be put on line without permission. More recent poems require permission, although we can share poems that are already on line elsewhere. We can also make links to other poetry sites.
Can handwritten manuscripts (like drafts of poems) go on the web?
Definitely. We usually need permission, but they can look very good there. See, for example, the Harry Crosby site.
Can I expand a quotation from my work that's already on-line?
Yes. In order to stay within fair use, we have condensed some passages more than we would have liked. We have written for permission for longer excerpts, but we could only manage so many letters. If you would like to see an excerpt from your book or essay expanded, please send us a note on our Questions and Comments submission form asking us to do so and granting permission, along with the text to be added. You can also revise a published analysis that has been reprinted on MAPS. The internet gives every essay a second chance.
Can we recommend links to other sites?
Yes. Please send these through our Questions and Comments submission form. If you find any errors or oversights, we'd be happy to hear about those as well.
I specialize in a particular poet, poets or subject matter and would like to contribute substantially to an existing poet's page--such as compiling excerpts of published analyses for poems that may or may not currently be represented. Can I contribute in this way to an existing page?
Definitely. People adding a single new section to a poet's page will be identified as a contributor. People adding multiple sections to a page can become a co-editor. Send brief contributions (or proposals for longer contributions) for review by the editors through the Questions and Comments submission form.
Can I recommend a new poet for MAPS
Certainly. We strive to provide criticism on a wide variety of poetry, challenging traditional notions of canonicity based upon racial, gender, sexual, political, or historical oversight. Before adding a poet to the site, we try to achieve a critical mass of criticism that justifies a new poet's presence. Please keep this in mind when suggesting poets. If you can point us to useful criticism at the same time, this will help us immensely.

My knowledge of Haiti is mostly limited to the revolution, but I, like many other people who should know more about a place so closely connected to the history and politics of my own, have been stunned by the images of destruction from the earthquake. By now you probably know of where and how to donate to relief efforts.
I liked how Ann Fernald ended a thoughtful and personal post about Haiti (which I'm editing just to make a bit more direct):
Maybe ... while we pray for the victims, the survivors and all who help them, we should also try to think our way to a more just world, one in which Haiti would not always and forever suffer.

Although Sir Mervyn King has little more than six months left of his second term as Governor of the Bank of England, his intellectual evolution continues. His latest speech, given on October 23 in Cardiff to the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, contained an intriguing sentence: "The role of the Bank of England is to create the right amount of money, neither too much, nor too little, to support sustainable growth at the target rate of inflation."
He arrived at this conclusion after some remarks about "insufficient" and "excessive" money creation. The trouble with insufficient money creation is that it might result in "a contraction in the money supply and a depression", as had been seen in the US in the 1930s. On the other hand, "excessive money creation leads to accelerating inflation and ultimately the collapse of the currency". These remarks are banal in themselves as similar sentiments have been uttered by dozens of economists at one time or another. However, coming from King after a 20-year stint at Britain's central bank they are significant, perhaps even of great significance.
First, King is clearly saying here that changes in the quantity of money "lead to" changes in macroeconomic outcomes. The assertion that money "causes" deflation or inflation is more or less explicit. This is in line with standard monetary theory, but sharply at variance with the widely-held but pervasive misconception among Britain's academic economists that expenditure is determined by "animal spirits" and fiscal policy, and that money and banking can be ignored.
Secondly, the management of the quantity of money is said to be "the role of the Bank of England". This agrees with numerous statements made by the British government and the Bank of England at the dawn of Thatcherism in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In those statements, as in King's latest speech, the task of keeping money on track was seen as a responsibility of the state. The state had that responsibility, even though the quantity of money is dominated nowadays by bank deposits, which are liabilities of privately owned organisations. (Well, privately owned unless they have been nationalised or semi-nationalised.)

Dear USTR: Want Other Countries To Sign Your Trade Agreements? Stop Letting Hollywood Write Them
from the just-saying deptWith more and more countries in the EU backing away from signing ACTA, and even the EU Parliament's president speaking out against it, it's raising serious questions about the ability to get the EU signed on to ACTA.
Harold Feld, over at Public Knowledge, has published something of an open letter to the USTR suggesting that, just maybe, if it stopped letting Hollywood lobbyists drive the agenda for their international trade agreements, such agreements wouldn't be chock full of crazy -- and might result in an agreement that countries actually want to sign.
So let me give USTR and the non-Hollywood industries involved right now in negotiating trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) another spot of free advice. (I won't even try to suggest this to Hollywood, given they are still in denial there was ever anything wrong with SOPA.) Do not let hollywood hijack your trade negotiations to put in even crazier stuff no one in the world likes, wants, or will sign on to. I know Hollywood has probably already been pushing for plenty of crazy stuff and doing crazy things like saying Canada's not moral enough to join you all on the Group W Bench at the TPPA negotiations. But it is never too late to take them aside and talk some sense into them. You can point out that we now have yet-another-study from academics rather than paid industry flunkies showing that peer-2-peer piracy has little impact on U.S. box office revenue and that Hollywood could do a lot to cut down on international piracy by making content available (for a fee) in a time and manner that customers want rather than insisting on an out-dated, complex "release windows" system developed in the old days when folks either went to theaters or waited 'til it showed up on DVD. So perhaps Hollywood should ratchet back the crazy stuff, or risk getting cut out of the negotiations entirely so every one else can get a trade agreement done?It's such sensible advice that it'll never happen.

Kudochop needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 100 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
kudochop computer repair
Computer repair and networking services.
This is a local computer repair business. We want our logo to be computer/tech related while still keeping kudochop somehow incorporated. We want it to be clean, simple and modern looking. The logo will be used on business cards, storefront signs, website etc. Attached is our current business card (which will be changed once a logo has been picked) and the link to our website for a general idea of the color scheme in mind.
Also attached is a picture of the standard USB symbol, just another idea of something to integrate into the design. (not required, just an idea)
We would like the logo to be a stand alone image with the following text included in the overall design:
"computer repair"
and if possible without cluttering the design:
"Get to the chopper!"
The graphic work on the website should only be used for color reference. All artwork on the website will be replaced.
I hope we have provided enough detail. I will try to provide as much feed back as possible to you designers so we get the best results.
We would like to stay in contact with the contest winner to do additional graphics work for the company website.
We are looking forward to seeing what you designers come up with! Thanks

Nike Sportswear
Women's athletic fashion has come a long way. Gone are the days when the options available were limited to all-white, soft greys, pastels, floral patterns, or, if you were feeling really, extra crazy and bold, purple or pink with some neon trim. Visually, the suggestion given off was one of "work out, but not so hard as to mess up your hair. Twenty minutes of aerobics will do just fine."
Black and white, on the other hand, suggests a no-nonsense single mindedness, in both the athletic and fashion worlds. The latest women's collection from Nike is fashionably stark and performance functionality at the same time. Nike's tech fleece is combined with perforated mesh and leather trim to create a thoroughly contemporary look with classic athletic influences.
Work as hard as you want.
If a size is not listed, it is sold out.

SANTA FE — As of July 1, New Mexico state government began fiscal year 2011 $80 million in the red, maybe. That's what the Legislative Finance Committee is guessing.
Does that mean more tax increases and cuts in government services? For now, additional tax increases seem unlikely. The Legislature and governor have come to what seems like a firm agreement that there will be no more special sessions for the rest of the calendar year.
At the end of the last special session, the Legislature gave Gov. Bill Richardson extraordinary powers to make cuts in state government wherever he sees fit.
Former Gov. Gary Johnson tried that once and lawmakers went to court to stop him from usurping their power. This time, they usurped their own power in order not to have to return until next January's regular session.
Normally that is not the sort of responsibility a governor would like to assume. But Gov. Richardson won't be running for office this fall. Lt. Gov. Diane Denish will be running and any Richardson actions are likely to affect her.
So legislators have put themselves in the enviable situation of saying they wish the governor would hurry up and do his job.
For his part, Gov. Richardson says let's not get ahead of ourselves. His economists' revenue forecast will not be completed until later this summer. Meanwhile he says he is unwilling to rely on guesswork from nervous legislators.
So don't expect to hear anything definite until at least a month from now. At least we likely aren't looking at a $600 million deficit as we were at this time last year.
But then we've made a number of cuts already, making future cuts all the more difficult. Money to schools is a big part of the budget. Many districts have closed small schools despite growing evidence that smaller schools have a significant effect on student achievement.
Class sizes have been increased, educational and athletic programs have been cut back and at least one district has gone to a four-day week.
At the state level 1,664 employees have been dropped since the November 2008 hiring freeze. That's a 6.5 percent dip. Some legislators say it wasn't a hiring freeze at all because some vacant positions were filled.
That would be the essential positions we can't do without, the governor says. He has credited cabinet secretaries with spreading workload so that agencies haven't been crippled.
Nonetheless, the Legislative Finance Committee is scrutinizing recent hires and looking at other positions that could be cut. They are especially looking at positions currently held by political appointees.
They will all be gone at the end of December but the pressure will be on the next governor to drastically cut the number of these appointments. Gov. Richardson says he has cut 59 politically appointed positions already.
He has listed the titles of some of the positions eliminated but lawmakers want 59 names to see if some of the appointees might appear in other positions.
One group of such positions is the many public information officers who have sprouted up in numerous state agencies since the beginning of the Richardson administration. In 2003, he hired around two dozen news people from radio, TV and newspapers.
Consolidation of the many departments that have mushroomed since former Gov. Jerry Apodaca reduced over 100 agencies into a 12-member cabinet is a definite possibility.
Last year Gov. Richardson appointed a committee to consider how to streamline state government. Consolidation of departments was one recommendation he said he would like to consider. So would the Legislature.
Of course these new departments all have been created by a majority vote of the Legislature and the signature of a governor. Obviously there is political muscle behind all of them.

preeminent graphic designer and art director in the 1970s and early '80s, Eiko Ishioka helped build her reputation by heading media campaigns for Parco, a major boutique shopping complex chain.
But instead of focusing on fashion or other merchandise in ads, promotional posters and commercials, Ishioka sold Parco to the public with attention-grabbing, often sensual visual images.
In one 15-second spot, a silver-haired British rake nonchalantly tosses his champagne glass overboard and makes his move on a dainty young Japanese woman. Then a voice-over says: "Life is short, the night is long."
In a longer commercial,
Faye Dunaway wearing black against a black background, silently gazes at the camera as she slowly peels a hard-boiled egg and then starts eating it as the camera moves in for a close-up.
Ishioka, 73, a longtime
resident whose convention-defying, award-winning career expanded in the 1980s to include design work for Broadway and the movies, died of
Jan. 21 in
, said Tracy Roberts, her studio manager.
In a career marked by great versatility, Ishioka won a Grammy Award in 1986 for best album package as art director for Miles Davis' "Tutu."
Her sets and costumes for David Henry Hwang's Broadway play "M. Butterfly" earned her two Tony Award nominations in 1988.
And after moving into feature films as the production designer on director Paul Schrader's 1985 movie "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters," she went on to win an Oscar for costume design in 1993 for
's "Dracula."
Her varied career also included designing the costumes for the Cirque du Soleil show "Varekai" in 2002. The same year she designed uniforms and outerwear for some members of the Japanese, Swiss, Canadian and Spanish teams for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and directed a surreal music video for the
single "
In 2008, Ishioka was director of costume design for the opening ceremony of the
in Beijing.
Her other credits include serving as visual artistic director for "
: Dreams and Nightmares" on Broadway in 1996 and designing the costumes for "
Man: Turn Off the Dark," which is currently on Broadway.
Ishioka's bold costume designs include a suit of molded leather armor for
in director
's 2000 film "The Cell," a scarlet robe with a 22-foot train for
in "Dracula" and a hot pink costume with octopus-inspired appendages for Cirque du Soleil.
"I suppose you could say I'm obsessed with creating work that has never been seen before," she told the New Zealand Herald in 2007. "When I design, I repeat it to myself often, like a mantra."
"Eiko by Eiko," a collection of her groundbreaking early work in graphic design and art direction, was published in 1983.
"Commercial work's purpose is to sell merchandise," sculptor Isamu Noguchi wrote of Ishioka in an essay in the book. "But Eiko used it to fight a battle, to move a message into society — to subvert consumerism."
Ishioka's 2000 book, "Eiko on Stage," covered her work in film, opera and the theater. In the foreword, Coppola described Ishioka's work as "breathtakingly original, strange and sensuous."
Born in Tokyo on July 12, 1938, Ishioka showed an early talent for drawing. Her parents nurtured her creative spirit. Her father became a prominent commercial graphic designer, and her mother, "an ordinary housewife," encouraged her to pursue an occupation, Ishiko told Canada's Globe and Mail in 1984.
After graduating from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1961, she joined the advertising division of Japan's largest cosmetics company, Shiseido. Four years later, she reportedly became the first woman to win Japan's most prestigious advertising award.
Ishioka is survived by her husband, Nicholas Soultanakis, whom she married last year; her mother, Mitsuko Saegusa Ishioka; her brothers, Koichiro and Jun Ishioka; and her sister, Ryoko Ishioka.

Enteroclysis is an
Alternative Names
Small bowel enema; CT enteroclysis
How the test is performed
This test is done in a hospital radiology department.
- The health care provider will insert a tube through your nose or mouth into your stomach and into the beginning of the small bowel.
- Contrast material and air flow through the tube, and x-rays are taken.
The x-ray images appear on a monitor similar to a television screen in "real time," which means they are seen as the contrast is actually moving through the bowel.
Sometimes a CT scan is also used.
The goal of the study is to image all of the loops of small bowel. You may be asked to change positions during the exam. The test usually lasts several hours, because it may take a while for the contrast to move through the whole small bowel.
How to prepare for the test
You should drink a clear liquid diet for at least 24 hours before the test. Laxatives may be prescribed to make sure the bowel is clear of any particles that might interfere with the study.
You may need to stop taking medications, including narcotic pain relievers, on or before the day of the exam. Do not change or stop taking any medications without first talking to your health care provider.
If you are anxious about the procedure you may be given a sedative before it starts. You will be asked to remove all jewelry and wear a hospital gown. It is best to leave jewelry and other valuables at home. You will be asked to remove any removable dental work, such as appliances, bridges, or retainers.
How the test will feel
The placement of the tube may be uncomfortable. The contrast material may cause a feeling of abdominal fullness.
Why the test is performed
This test is performed to examine the small bowel. It is the most complete way of telling if the small intestine is normal.
Normal Values
There are no problems seen with the size or shape of the small intestine. Contrast travels through the bowel at a normal rate without any sign of blockage.
What abnormal results mean
Many problems of the small intestine can be found with enteroclysis. Some of these include:
- Inflammation of the small bowel (such as
Crohn's disease) Malabsorption Narrowing or stricture of the intestine Small bowel blockage
- Tumors of the small intestine
What the risks are
The radiation exposure may be greater with this test than with other types of x-rays because of the length of time. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared to the benefits, however.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-ray radiation. If there is a chance that you are pregnant, you must tell your health care provider.
Rare complications include:
- Allergic reactions to medications prescribed for the examination (ask your health care provider about any known drug sensitivities)
- Possible injury to bowel structures during the study
Barium may cause constipation. Tell your health care provider if the barium has not passed through your system by 2 or 3 days after the test.

Revs bring in Serbian Ilija Stolica and Brazilian Roberto Linck to bolster attacking corps
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution announced today the signing of Serbian forward Ilija Stolica and Brazilian forward/midfielder Roberto Linck to Major League Soccer contracts to play for the Revolution.
Stolica's signing is pending the receipt of his U.S. P-1 Visa, and he will occupy one of the team's international roster spots. Linck's signing will be finalized upon receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. A U.S. permanent resident, he will be considered a domestic player on the Revolution's roster. Per league and club rules, terms of the deals were not released.
"Our goal during this transfer window has been to bring in attacking players," Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. "With Ilija, we're getting a proven, veteran player who we're expecting to come in and make contributions right away. Roberto is a younger player who we're optimistic can help us during the second half of the season, as well."
Stolica, 31, comes to the Revolution from Montenegro's FC Budocnost where he has played since January of this season. He played the 2005-2008 seasons in Belgium at Sint Truidense and R.A.E.C. Mons, before playing the second half of the 2008-09 season at OFI Crete of Greece.
The former Serbian Under-21 and Olympic team member began his career with Serbia's FK Zemun, starting with the club's youth teams in 1985 and debuting with the first team in 1995. After three seasons, he transferred to Spain's EU Lleida for one season. Stolica returned to Serbia in 1999 to play two seasons at FK Partizan, before making a return engagement at FK Zemun through January 2003. He also played for two seasons each at FK Metalurg Donetsk (Ukraine) and OFK Beograd (Serbia) before his move to Belgium.
Linck, 21, joins the Revolution from Romania's CSM Râmnicu Vâlcea, where he has played the 2010 season. Previously, he played with the Chicago Storm of the U.S. (Indoor) Xtreme Soccer League.
Linck, who has also gone by the name "Betu," played collegiately at Irvine Valley College in California. Before coming to the United States in 2002, he played in Gremio Football Porto Alegrense's (Gremio) youth development program while growing up in Brazil.
The Revolution (4-9-2, 14 pts.) returns to MLS regular-season action on Saturday, July 31, when the team travels to Chester, Pa., to face the expansion Philadelphia Union at PPL Park. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m., with Comcast SportsNet New England televising the game, and 98.5 The Sports Hub carrying the game on the radio.

How to do the Work
Triangles work is essentially simple. It need take no more than a few moments each day, and with practice can be done almost anywhere, and at any time. While workers must discover for themselves the methods of work which best suit them, there are certain basic principles which all can follow. The following notes outline a brief procedure which is especially intended to assist new members.
1. Place of work. It is always preferable to use a place where you can be quiet and uninterrupted for five minutes. Then, sitting relaxed but upright with eyes closed, put everyday thoughts and feelings to one side and focus on the task of serving humanity through Triangles. With practice this can be done almost instantaneously, rather as one would tune a radio to a particular wavelength, in this case tuning into the network.
2. Link mentally with each member of your triangle, or triangles, from the highest point of consciousness that you can achieve, "seeing" each triangle as a unit "in the mind's eye". Visualisation is a great creative force. For some a mental picture is easily created. Others build by imagination, by repeating mentally the names of their fellow members, or by simply thinking about each triangle. Some people combine several methods. On the principle that energy follows thought, we can be confident that as we think about them, links are created and kept vitally alive by this daily work.
3. A radiant living network of triangles has been built around the planet as a result of the daily work of triangles members. Visualise the triangles in which you are working as an essential part of the worldwide triangles network.
4. Visualise light and goodwill flowing into each of the three points of your triangle(s), circulating around the triangles from point to point, and flowing out through the network into the hearts and minds of men and women everywhere. The soul or Christ principle can be found as a central point within each triangle, and many people visualise this central point as the source of light and goodwill used in this work. As light and goodwill are distributed, realise that they increase the brilliance of the whole network. The consequent radiation has an inevitable constructive and healing effect, lifting and transforming human consciousness and establishing right human relationships.
5. Sound the Great Invocation, silently or aloud, according to choice or circumstances. As you repeat each stanza, visualise the network acting as a link between the world of spiritual realities and humanity, and as a channel through which light and love and divine purpose flow into humanconsciousness.
6. Summary of procedure
- Link mentally with members of your triangle(s),
- Visualise your triangle(s) as part of the world wide network,
- Visualise light and goodwill flowing around the points of your triangle(s), through the network, and into human consciousness,
- Use the Great Invocation, perpetuating the flow of spiritual energy.
Some Additional Points
1. It is not necessary for members to synchronise the time at which they do the triangles work each day, and in fact when members live in different parts of the world, this is impossible. Once Triangles links are built in mental substance, they can be "brought alive" when any one member does the work. The true synchronisation is in the purpose and intention of those doing the work, not on the question of time.
2. Number of Triangles. Some people participate in several triangles, and this is to be welcomed. There is a practical limit, however, to the number of triangles in which any one person can work effectively. The question arises: How many triangles are you able to visualise and hold clearly in your mind at the same time? We suggest, therefore, that members either limit the number of triangles in which they work, so that each can be a vital functioning unit, or spend enough extra time in this world service to ensure that each triangle unit is firmly built and regularly vitalised.
3. If any member of your triangle(s) discontinues the work, please let us know at once. We hope that in such cases, someone may soon be found as a replacement.

My bicycle is a curiosity. But this post tells how I used curiosity to dissolve anger.
We all have problems: health problems, money problems, people problems. Most of our people problems can be cured by cultivating a spirit of curiosity. Become genuinely curious about a person who has offended you, and you will understand their actions and find it had nothing to do with you personally. My bicycle and I rediscovered this truth last week.
At the end of the day I blithely walked out to the bike rack and unlocked my bike. The front wheel wouldn't budge. It had worked fine that morning and I couldn't see anything wrong. I unhooked the front brake and was able to turn the wheel--it wobbled dramatically from side to side.
I stared at it. I had thought it safe in the bike rack. It is a wheel-bender style bike rack, but I'm careful to lock it to the end of the rack. The lock goes through both the frame and the front wheel to secure the wheel and keep the bike from falling over. And yet here it was, badly damaged.
I tried to picture what could have happened. It would be tricky for a car to have hit it and none of the other bikes, and the front wheel but not the back wheel. Maybe someone tried to squeeze a scooter past the bike on the sidewalk. I imagined an inexperienced student on a scooter and I was angry.
I talked to the security guard. "The security cameras don't get much of the bike rack," he explained. "The parked cars are in the way." He showed me on the screen how very little could be seen. "I saw someone out mowing today," he suggested. "He might have backed into your bike and not even realized it." My mental image changed from an inexperienced student on a scooter to a hard working groundskeeper and my anger faded.
After watching the security footage, he concluded, "It might have been the mower, but I couldn't tell. If he hit it he didn't notice. But I didn't see anything else it could have been."
The wheel couldn't be fixed. It has a generator hub that powers my headlamp and must be built into the wheel. I dropped the damaged wheel at the bike shop and ordered a new rim, getting a printout of the estimated cost of the rim and the rebuild.
I took the cost estimate to Groundskeeping. I planned to ask for reimbursement, but I wasn't at all confident I would get a positive answer. I had no proof it was the mower.
The manager didn't accept my claim unquestioningly. He turned to the mower. "Is it possible you might have backed into it without realizing it?" "Yeah, it's possible," the mower, who was exactly the well meaning and hard working person I had envisioned, promptly replied. The manager and the mower examined my photos and listened to my arguments. "Well, I'll take this to Finance, see what they say," the manager finally said.
The next I heard on the matter was Finance asking where to send the check. Meeting the mower had restored my faith in humanity. The check sealed it.

U16 midfielder Declan McCabe called into U.S. U15 team; three invited to U.S. Soccer Training Center
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution Under-16 midfielder Declan McCabe (Weston, Mass.) has been called up to the U.S. Under-15 Boys National Team, which is currently conducting a training camp at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., through Oct. 31. He is joined by Revolution Under-16 head coach Bryan Scales, who is also attending the camp as one of the team's coaches.
"This is a great opportunity for Declan and we are proud of him," Scales said. "He was involved with the Under-14 Boys National Team last year, and we look forward to his continued development throughout the Revs' Academy season."
Additionally, McCabe and Revolution Under-16 teammates Kevin Herrera (Lynn, Mass.) and Danny Apajee (Cranston, R.I.) have been selected to attend the U.S. Soccer Training Center that will be held on Nov. 5, at Oakwood Soccer Park in Portland, Conn.
"These U.S. Soccer Training Centers are a terrific opportunity for players to be evaluated by the U.S. National Team staff," Scales said. "We are thrilled that three of our players were selected and know that they will make a great account of themselves at this event."
The 2010-11 Revolution youth teams will begin formal training later this fall at the conclusion of the New England high school soccer season. The clubs will begin play in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy in mid-November, and will attend the Development Academy's Winter Showcase in Phoenix on Dec. 3-7.

SOURCE: TiGenix NV
October 09, 2012 01:48 ET
LEUVEN, BELGIUM--(Marketwire - Oct 9, 2012) - TiGenix (EURONEXT BRUSSELS: TIG) announced today the publication in the International Journal of Colorectal Disease of the Phase I/II study of Cx601: Expanded allogeneic adipose-derived stems cells (eASCs) for the treatment of complex perianal fistula in Crohn's disease: results from a multicenter phase I/II clinical trial.
The authors of the study state that the full analysis of efficacy data at week 24 showed 69.2% of the patients with a reduction in the number of draining fistulas, while 56.3% of the patients achieved complete closure of the treated fistula, and 30% of the cases presented complete closure of all existing fistula tracts. The study, which is published online ahead of print, can be accessed here: http://www.springerlink.com/content/j6k615530320kr02/
"We are delighted with the publication in a reputed clinical journal of this study that confirms the significant benefit of our lead development product Cx601 in a very challenging indication for which current treatments are suboptimal," said Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix. "The publication of these results in a peer-reviewed journal is a validation of the thoroughness of our development program and demonstrates the increasing prominence of cell therapy as an accepted clinical strategy that has the potential to considerably improve on existing treatments paradigms."
Cx601 is an adipose-derived allogeneic stem cell therapy that is delivered locally in the fistula through intra-lesional injection. Cx601 is currently being investigated in the ADMIRE-CD Phase III study. ADMIRE-CD is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial of Cx601 in approximately 278 Crohn's disease patients suffering from complex perianal fistulas. The main objectives of the study are to demonstrate safety and superior efficacy over placebo in perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease patients after failure with their previous treatment, in most cases biologicals, and to confirm the strong safety and efficacy results from the Phase II trial completed in 2011. The results from ADMIRE-CD are expected in H2, 2014. Information on the ADMIRE-CD trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About TiGenix

This question already has an answer here:
This is the computer I have currently with Xubuntu 13.10 installed on it, and it works well:
- OS version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3, 32 bit
- Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80 GHz, x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1
- Processor count: 1
- Graphics card: Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller, 96 MB
- Hard drives: C: Total - 38091 MB, Free - 17316 MB;
- Motherboard: Dell Computer Corp., 0U2575
- Antivirus: CA Anti-Virus Plus, Updated: No, On-Demand Scanner: Enabled
However, I do a lot of editing of large digital photos, and I'm converting a second computer, with the exact same specifications as this one, to Xubuntu 13.10, AND I'm replacing the 128 MB memory module with a 1 GB module, giving me a total of 2 GB. I have read a lot of posts here that say with 2 GB it is best to go with the 32 bit download of 13.10. But I have also read a lot of posts here that say it's best to go with the 64-bit. That 2 GB is plenty to run 64-bit software, and that 32 bit software is rapidly becoming obsolete.
What is the explanation to clear up the confusion?
