GREENSBORO, N.C. – Lipscomb had two track and field athletes compete on Friday. Both of those athletes moved on in their respective event. Madi Talbert becomes the first Lady Bison to qualify for the NCAA Nationals while Tucker Peabody qualified for the quarterfinal round of the East Region.
The two competed in the NCAA Preliminary Round being held in Greensboro, N.C.
Talbert, a freshman from Charlotte, N.C., crushed the school record in the 3000-meter steeplechase. She crossed the finish line fourth in her heat and 12th overall in 10:11.21. The top-three in each heat and the next three fastest advanced to the finals held in Eugene, Ore. The final round takes place June 5-8.
"Wow! Madi ran a perfect race," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "We had a plan we talked about last week. She went out and did exactly what she needed to do."
Talbert, running in the second heat, held onto the final transfer spot through the third heat where Esther Vermeer of Duke finished in 10:11.94.
"Qualifying for the National Championship Finals is a huge bonus," Taylor said. "I am so proud of Madi.
"She has just helped move the program to a whole new level. She opened the door to the whole team. The national finals aren't some big thing. It is completely doable and she showed the way."
Peabody, a junior from Memphis, Tenn., finished third in his heat and eighth overall in 20.84 seconds. Peabody entered the meet with the 11th fastest time in the East Region.
"Tucker ran strong in qualifying to reach the quarterfinals for tomorrow," Taylor said. "He didn't feel his best. He is due for a big race and is excited."
To join Talbert in Oregon, Peabody needs to finish in the top three of the quarterfinal heat or be one of the next three fastest. He is scheduled to run at 6:50 p.m. Saturday
Freshman Gemikal Prude will get his turn at the preliminary meet in the high jump beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday. Prude enters the meet ranked No. 20 in the region with a leap of 2.15 meters. He needs to finish in the top 12 to continue in the NCAA Championships.

Do our financial markets need a disclosure statement: Warning! This market rigged for the highest bidder?
The question arises with the revelation from my colleague Eamon Javers that an ultra-elite group of clients can pay for and receive the market-moving consumer sentiment data from the University of Michigan a full two seconds earlier than a broader set of paying clients and a full five minutes and two seconds before the general public.
If two seconds doesn't sound like a lot, consider that the industry standard today for executing trades is measured in milliseconds, or thousandths of a second. Add in the ability of computers to make the trades without human involvement, using programmed algorithms, and, as Javers said in his article, two seconds is an eternity.
(Read More: Thomson Reuters Gives Elite Traders Early Advantage)
The revelation comes when Wall Street firms are already paying the nation's stock exchanges considerable sums to locate the servers that execute their trades closer geographically to the exchanges' own servers that process the trades, sometimes across the street. This highlights how precious such milliseconds can be, reducing ever so slightly the distance electrons have to travel—electrons that are already traveling at the speed of light.
In one sense the ethical dilemma raised by the Michigan data is new; 10 years ago, no one thought at all about the possibility that a millisecond advantage offered any benefit. But in another sense, this issue is as old as the hills: another case where technology develops faster than a culture's moral framework.
On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with a private entity gathering data and selling it privately, or selling it first to the highest bidder. After all, a supermarket charges less for day-old bread, or, put another way, more for fresh bread.
The difference here is that a supermarket generally discloses that the bread is old, something the University of Michigan did not appear to make entirely clear, even though the two-second option could be found by digging around its website. Many of the economists I spoke with, all of whom have been covering the data for decades, did not know about this early release. If they didn't know, how much if anything did small traders and investors know? Probably nothing at all.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Two Bangs Boys in Brewster, Massachusetts
4 comments:
The question is - was Joshua actually buried there? If he was lost at sea doesn't it suggest this is a cenotaph for him? Mariners provide some of the greatest challenges for me when it comes to cemetery research. It can be so hard to know if we are talking an actual burial or just a memorial.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're absolutely correct. It does say "lost" versus "died at sea". I have another ancestor who went to sea whaling with his son, and when the son died they brought his body home in the rum barrel. Strange but true.Delete
What a beautiful, well carved stone and such wonderful information. Joshua could be remembered on the stone simply because stones were expensive and there was space to squeeze him on.ReplyDelete

Barnard College of Columbia University presents
The Fifth Annual Global Symposium
Women Changing Brazil
Monday, March 18, 2012
Grand Hyatt São Paulo
São Paulo, Brazil
On Monday, March 18, Barnard hosted its fifth annual Global Symposium, Women Changing Brazil, in São Paulo. Approximately 400 people attended the day-long event at the Grand Hyatt São Paulo, which brought together exceptional leaders from all over the country as well as Barnard students, alumnae and faculty for wide-ranging discussions addressing education, activism, leadership, science, the arts, public policy, government, work-life balance, and violence against women. The free event was open to the public and sponsored exclusively by Credit Suisse. Read more and view photos and video highlights.
Following the symposium, Barnard's Global Symposium Student Fellows led the third annual Young Women's Leadership Workshop for high-school students from around São Paulo on Wednesday, March 20. Read more and view photos.
Women Changing Brazil
The symposium opened with introductory remarks from Michelle Gadsden-Williams, managing director and global head of diversity and inclusion at Credit Suisse, and Barnard alumna Petra Costa '06, a Brazilian filmmaker and actress. Debora Spar, president of Barnard College, also spoke, noting the significance of holding this year's symposium in Brazil.
The keynote address was delivered by Eleonora Menicucci, Brazil's Minister of the Secretariat of Policies for Women. Minister Menicucci is among President Dilma Rousseff's record number of 10 female ministers in Brazil's cabinet. Here, she tells a story of how President Rousseff's presidency is inspiring young girls in Brazil.
The first panel of the day, "Voices of the Region," showcased women whose art and activism are effecting change and improving conditions in Brazil for the greater good. Speakers included Panmela Castro, graffiti artist and activist who uses street art to promote the rights of women; Kátia Lund, screenwriter and film director of City of God, whose organization Nós do Cinema (We of Cinema) provides training and job opportunities to poor children in Brazil's favelas; Mayra Avellar Neves, student activist and winner of the 2008 International Children's Peace Prize who mobilized a peaceful protest in her drug- and violence-plagued community to demand a cease-fire during the hours when children walk to and from school; and moderator Kathryn Kolbert, director of Barnard's Athena Center for Leadership Studies. Here, Castro reflects on the difference between legal equality and social equality.
After a lunch where participants mingled and chatted in both Portuguese and English about the events of the first half of the day, Monica Waldvogel, Globonews journalist and news anchor, moderated a discussion of women in science in Brazil with Duilia de Mello, NASA astronomer and professor of astrophysics at The Catholic University of America, and Mayana Zatz, a professor of human and medical genetics at the University of São Paulo who has been actively involved in genome research related to the passage of the Brazilian embryonic stem-cell bill in 2005 and 2008. Here, they debate whether genetics influences interest in science among women.
The day culminated with "Conversations on Leadership," which was moderated by Spar and included Adriana Machado, the first woman to serve as president and CEO of GE Brazil, and Maria Christina Frias, member of the board and columnist for Folha de S.Paulo. Here, Spar talks about the distinction between ambition and competition among women.
The Global Symposia series, held previously in Beijing in 2009, Dubai in 2010, Johannesburg in 2011, and Mumbai in 2012, provides a dynamic forum for discussion of women's issues, to create a network of women leaders from around the world, to inspire young women about their own leadership potential, and to provide an opportunity for Barnard, as an American college, to learn from women in other parts of the world.
Young Women's Leadership Workshop
This year's Young Women's Leadership Workshop took place at Graded, the American School of São Paulo. Attended by more than 60 high school girls from five schools around the city, the event included a talk by Barnard's Dean of Enrollment Jennifer Fondiller, as well as an overview on women's leadership by Prof. Kathryn Kolbert, the Constance Hess Williams director of the Athena Center for Leadership Studies. From there, the students were divided into groups for the workshop sessions designed and facilitated by Barnard's Global Symposium Student Fellows.

Complete results from Commodore Classic
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Senior Rebecca Cline led the Tennessee Tech women's cross country team Saturday and was one of three veterans to post career-best 5K times as the Golden Eagles placed 16th among 20 teams at the Vanderbilt Commodore Classic.
Cline, along with seniors Yeshi Dohrmann and Meghan O'Donoghue, all posted career-best numbers. Cline covered the route in 18:57.52 to place 56th overall individually. Senior Peri Winborne was next for Tech, finishing 9n 20:20.60 for 97th place, finishing just off her career-best time. Finishing third for coach Tony Cox's team was senior Amelia McCoy, also narrowly missing her PR with a time of 20:30.34 to place 102nd.
The career-best times put Dohrmann in 103rd place at 20:31.12, while O'Donoghue was 107th in 20:37.88. Freshman Claire Cashin, running that distance for the first time in her Tech career, placed 118th in 21:31.34. Elizabeth Mitchell rounded out Tech's lineup in 126th place in 22:45.86.
The host team, Vanderbilt, won the team title with 38 points, easily topping runnerup Lipscomb (65). Ole Miss (83) was third, Mississippi State (100) fourth, and Central Arkansas (160) fifth to complete the top five. Belmont, one of XXX OVC teams in the field, placed sixth, joined by Morehead State (11th/302), Jacksonville State (15th/388), Tennessee Tech (16th/465), UT Martin (18th/514), and Tennessee State (20th/607).
The next meet for the Golden Eagles is the Jacksonville State Invitational, Saturday, Oct. 5.

You know how Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper are, like, BFFs? Well, things weren't quite as friendly last night when she appeared on fellow CNN anchor Piers Morgan's show. Or maybe it was: while the pair bickered about silly things like ratings and Kathy's goal of getting Piers fired from his TV gig, Kathy was also coming onto the host throughout. (Spoiler alert: the sexual tension culminates with the comedienne hoisting herself onto the interview desk and literally kissing Piers.)
Kathy also treated us to a fantastic impression of Nancy Grace talking about Casey Anthony (or as she loves to call her, the "Tot Mom.") It prompted them to discuss Nancy's recent appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight in which she got very emotional — but Kathy remained unimpressed: "she cries every night on her show talking about her tweee-yuns."

Editor's note: Jewlarious is of course aish.com's Jewish humor, arts and entertainment section, and while this article fits into none of those categories, it is written by our dear friend and writer Marnie Macauley about the loss of her husband. Because she has such a strong following on our site, we felt it important to share this piece with you.
As some of you know, my husband of 33 years, Ian T. Macauley died in my arms on June 3, after suffering a stroke ten months ago.
Judaism is exceptionally wise in the handling of grief. Our religion understands with rachmones (mercy), the need for support, for people, for mourning. And, for God.
Sadly we knew few people in this crazy town of Las Vegas, so our Simon and I are pretty much on our own.
I miss the platters (especially the lox – salty).
I miss the company, the diversion.
I miss Ian. He'd be so ticked off that he won't be able to follow the presidential election, taking notes on reportorial errors, and screaming at the TV. (he was a lifelong old guard news editor).
So, in grief, we Jews do special things, but turn as well to what we've always done. I'm a writer. I write. I'm a clinician. I heal – well, others.
As a therapist, I've always felt that in addition to our spiritual and religious beliefs, there are human issues. And that, despite all the psychobabble, we grieve differently, in our own way, in our own time. And that must be understood, and respected.
For example … while at vigil by his side, I took a few breaks outdoors, needing to feel the sun on my face … the promise of a new day. I knew I had entered the hospital as a wife … and would be leaving as a widow.
Most loathe the word "widow." I am not a spider.
I've spoken to many friends whose mates have died, and it seems we feel the same way. Most loathe the word. "Widow." Widows are spiders, black widows, Queen Victoria in perpetual black, shrouded mourning. A dear cousin told me simply: "We're not widows. We are/were wives. And that shall always be – us."
This helped.
So I write … I can't yet write of the 10 months of horror, politics, lousy medicine, and lost/afraid friends, but also of new remarkable ones. But I can talk of what helps and what doesn't – at least to most of us, and especially this quirky "widow."
All texts, emails, and letters have been so welcome. All were meant with good intent, but some were more helpful … and others less so.
Phrases Said with Love – that Should Probably be Re-thought
- "If only he'd exercised, ate healthy, and taken better care of himself." As a clinician, I recognize the anger, frustration, and self-fear in these words, and forgive. As a "widow" – shut up. "What ifs" are meant to move the living forward, not to guilt the grieving over what can't be and won't be.
- "Why didn't you: a) give him 10,000 units of Vitamin C; b) treat him with canned asparagus; c) go to the alternative doctor I recommended four months ago?" What can you say? "Because I'm a lousy wife who denied him 'cures'-by-idiots?"
- "We saw the signs. If he'd come to us two weeks earlier, we could have done something." And you kept quiet? Write a paper for the AMA on clues, and how not to alert the spouse of the sick and dying.
- "You knew it was coming. You were at least prepared." Not really. I kept the light on near the phone, killing myself to grab it. Even in the inevitable, an irrational ray of hope remains within us.
- You made it through the horror, now you're free … run like the wind." Or, from the less poetic, "Get right up on that horse again." Walking, running, horses? What am I a jockey? We're working on breathing from one moment to the next, not Nikes and saddles.
- "At least he's no longer suffering and at peace in a better place." Is he? I pray so. But a better place to us was with us. Life was always "I" and "M" and "S." Now there's no "I" – and no scorecard for death of a partner, a father, a cheerleader of 33 years. We have to learn how to write Chapter Two.
Phrases That Help
- "As said above, "You're not a widow … you are, and always will be a wife."
- "He leaves behind a powerful legacy and made a difference."
- "I was privileged to know and work with him."
- "Take each day at a time — slowly." (From a widow.)
- "What an amazing love you shared."
- "The older we get the more we realize we don't know. We're grateful every day for what we have and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Hold your son, Simon, close and hold yourself as well. As you start the next chapter of your life, deep breaths, one foot in front of the next." A realistic wish, with accounting, and hope.
- And finally … "How can I/we help?"
Yes, we all grieve uniquely. For this "widow," the most helpful words aren't those describing what could've, should've, might've been, but what was and will always be.
As a writer and editor, my husband would agree. I don't make "saints" of we humans – even after death. No. I reach for the best of truth, balance, and peace among the living; those who knew and loved him; those whose lives he informed, and thereby enriched.
And the most helpful messages are those that simply acknowledge these thoughts, and allow the living, with apologies to Dylan Thomas, "to go gently into that next good day."
Dedicated to the ever-lasting memory of my husband, Ian T. Macauley, father, grandfather, and brilliant journalist.

Normal pregnancy after having a molar pregnancy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My question is in respect to having a normal pregnancy after having a molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma, have you had any patients in your practice that have had a normal pregnancy after all this. Also what are my chances?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Molar pregnancy and gestational choriocarcinoma are unusual tumors of the placenta, occurring in about 1 in 1500 live births in this country. Many of these tumors can be cured without chemotherapy, and even those that have recurred or spread are often completely curable with chemotherapy. The risk of a molar pregnancy in a subsequent pregnancy is only about 1.5%; so most women who have had them go on to have normal pregnancies.

Accumulators store pressure in a reservoir in which hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source. That external source can be a compressed gas, a spring, or a weight. They are installed in hydraulic systems for two main purposes: to store energy and to smooth out pulsations.
As energy storage, accumulators typically allow the hydraulic system to use a smaller pump because they amass energy from the pump during periods of low demand. This energy is available for instantaneous use, and is released on demand at a rate many times greater than what could be supplied by the pump alone. As a pulsation or surge damper, accumulators cushion the hydraulic hammer, reducing shocks caused by rapid operation or sudden starting and stopping of cylinders in a hydraulic circuit.
Two designs of accumulators are widely used in hydraulic systems — piston and bladder accumulators, Figure 1. Piston accumulators include weight-loaded piston type, spring type, and hydropneumatic piston type. The weight-loaded type was the first used, but is very heavy for its capacity and much larger than modern piston and bladder types. Both weighted and spring types are infrequently found today. Hydropneumatic piston accumulators are now the type most commonly used in industry.
Functional versatility
Energy storage — Hydraulic accumulators incorporate a gas in conjunction with a hydraulic fluid. The fluid has little dynamic power-storage qualities; typical hydraulic fluids can be reduced in volume by only about 1.7% under a pressure of 5000 psi. (However, this relative incompressibility makes them ideal for power transmission, providing quick response to power demand.) Therefore, when only 2% of the total contained volume is released, the pressure of the remaining oil in the system drops to zero.
On the other hand, gas can be compressed into small volumes at high pressures. Potential energy is stored in the compressed gas to be released upon demand. Such energy can be compared to that of a raised pile driver ready to transfer its tremendous energy upon the pile. In the piston type accumulator, the energy in the compressed gas exerts pressure against the piston separating the gas and hydraulic fluid. The piston in turn, forces the fluid from the cylinder into the system and to the location where useful work will be accomplished.
Pulsation absorption — Pumps generate the power needed for use or storage in a hydraulic system. Many pumps deliver this power in a pulsating flow. The piston pump, commonly used for its high pressure capability, can produce pulsations detrimental to a high-pressure system. An accumulator properly located in the system will substantially cushion these pressure variations.
Shock cushioning — In many applications, the driven member of the hydraulic system stops suddenly, creating a pressure wave that travels back through the system. This shock wave can develop peak pressures several times greater than normal working pressures. It can cause objectionable noise or system failure. An accumulator's gas cushion, properly located in the system, will minimize this shock.
An example of this application is the absorption of shock caused by suddenly stopping the loading bucket on a hydraulic front end loader. Without an accumulator, the bucket — weighing more than 2 tons — can completely lift the rear wheels of a loader off the ground. The severe shock to the tractor frame and axle, as well as operator wear and tear, is reduced by adding an accumulator to the hydraulic system.
Supplementing pump flow — An accumulator configured for storing power can supplement the hydraulic pump in delivering power to the system. The pump stores potential energy in the accumulator during idle periods of the work cycle. The accumulator transfers this reserve power back to the system when the cycle requires emergency or peak power. This enables a system to use a much smaller pump, resulting in savings in cost and power.
Maintaining pressure — Pressure changes occur in a hydraulic system when the liquid is subjected to rising or falling temperatures. There may also be pressure drop due to hydraulic fluid leakage. An accumulator compensates for such pressure changes by delivering or receiving a small amount of fluid. If the main power source should fail or be stopped, the accumulator would act as an auxiliary power source, maintaining pressure in the system.
Fluid dispensing — An accumulator may be used to dispense small volumes of fluids, such as lubricating greases and oils, on command.
When sized and precharged properly, the piston will not contact either end cap in a piston accumulator, and the bladder will not contact the poppet or be compressed enough to become folded into the top of its body.
Manufacturers recommend precharge pressure for their accumulators. In energy-storage applications, a bladder accumulator typically is precharged to 80% of minimum hydraulic system pressure and a piston accumulator to 100 psi below minimum system pressure. Precharge pressure determines how much fluid will remain in the accumulator at minimum system pressure.
Correct precharge involves accurately filling an accumulator's gas side with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, while no hydraulic fluid is in the fluid side. Accumulator charging then begins when hydraulic fluid is admitted into the fluid side, and occurs only at a pressure greater than the precharge pressure. During charging, the gas is compressed to store energy.
A correct precharge pressure is the most important factor in prolonging accumulator life. The care with which precharging must be accomplished and maintained should be considered when choosing the type of accumulator for an application. If the user is careless about gas pressure and relief valve settings, or adjusts system pressures without making corresponding adjustments to precharge pressure, service life may be shortened, even if the correct type of accumulator was selected. If the wrong accumulator was selected, premature failure is almost certain.
Mounting position
The optimum mounting position for any accumulator is vertical with the hydraulic port down. Piston models can be horizontal if the fluid is kept clean. When solid contaminants are present or expected in significant amounts, horizontal mounting can result in uneven or accelerated seal wear. Maximum service life can be achieved in the horizontal position with multiple piston seals to balance the piston's parallel surface.
A bladder accumulator also can be mounted horizontally, Figure 2, but uneven wear on the bladder as it rubs against the shell while floating on the fluid can shorten life. The amount of damage depends on fluid cleanliness, cycle rate, and compression ratio (defined as maximum-system-pressure/ minimum-system-pressure). In extreme cases, fluid can be trapped away from the hydraulic end, which reduces output or may elongate the bladder to force the poppet closed prematurely.
Sizes and outputs
Available sizes and capacities also influence which accumulator type to choose. Piston accumulators of a particular capacity often are supplied in a choice of diameters and lengths, Table 1. Furthermore, piston designs can be built to custom lengths for little or no price premium. Bladder accumulators are offered only in one size per capacity, with fewer capacities available.
The inherently higher output of the piston accumulator may make it the best alternative when space is tight. Table 1 lists outputs for 10-gal piston and bladder accumulators operating isothermally as auxiliary power sources over a range of minimum system pressures. The differences in precharge pressure, columns 3 and 4, (determined by 80% of minimum system pressure for bladder models, 100 psi below minimum for piston) lead to a substantial difference in outputs, columns 5 and 6.
To prevent excessive bladder deformation and high bladder temperatures, also note in Table 1 that bladder accumulators should be specified with compression ratios greater than 3:1.
Multiple components
Although bladder designs are not available in sizes greater than 40 gal, piston designs are currently supplied up to 200 gal in a single vessel. Economics and available installation space have led engineers to consider multiple component installations. Two of these can cover most high-output applications.
The installation in Figure 3 consists of several gas chambers (often called bottles) serving a single piston accumulator through a gas manifold. The accumulator portion must be sized so the piston does not repeatedly strike the caps while cycling. One drawback of this arrangement is that a single seal failure could drain the gas system. Because gas bottles often are less expensive than accumulators, one advantage of this setup might be lower cost.
Several accumulators, either piston or bladder design, can be mounted to a hydraulic manifold, Figure 4. If using piston accumulators, the piston with the least friction will move first and occasionally could bottom on the hydraulic cap. In slow or infrequently used systems, this is insignificant.
Gas bottle installations
Remote gas storage offers flexibility in large and small systems, Figure 5. The gas bottle concept is often described with this formula: accumulator size minus required fluid output equals gas bottle size. For example, an application that calls for a 30-gal accumulator may require 8 to 10 gal of fluid output. This application, therefore, could be satisfied with a 10-gal accumulator and a 20-gal gas bottle.
An accumulator used with remote gas storage generally has the same size port at the gas end as at the hydraulic end to allow unimpeded flow of gas to and from the gas bottle. The gas bottle has an equivalent port in one end and a gas charging valve at the other. These two-piece accumulators can be configured or bent at any angle to fit available space.
The gas bottle concept is suitable for bladder and piston accumulators. Bladder accumulators require a special device called a transfer barrier at the gas end to prevent extrusion of the bladder into the gas bottle piping.
Again, a piston accumulator should be sized to prevent piston bottoming at either end of the cycle. Bladder designs should be sized to prevent filling to more than 85% or discharging to more than 85% empty. The flow rate between the bladder transfer barrier and its gas bottle will be restricted by the neck of the transfer barrier tube. Because of these drawbacks, bottle/ bladder accumulators should be reserved for special applications.

The Danberry Community Benefits Program is designed to increase and enhance the efforts by Danberry Family Members in giving back to the community by focusing attention on individual efforts and rewarding a select few of them on an annual basis.
Every member of the team is being encouraged to give at least 4 hours a year (June 1st –May 31st) back to the community in an activity that the individual selects. If requirements are met the team member is invited to an event with their spouse or significant other. At the event, 3 members of the Danberry Family will be selected by a panel of non-Danberry judges for their outstanding contributions. $1000, $500 and $250 will be awarded to the charities or activities of the 3 selectees.
The Danberry Co. Realtors and ProMedica have an existing and ongoing partnership, the Danberry Treasure Chest, which has supported local families for more than 23 years. This collaboration has resulted in over one million dollars raised, assisting over 750 local families at Toledo Children's Hospital, with children facing severe chronic diseases.
"Most volunteers give of their time not for recognition but to help others. WE recognize that BUT we believe that by sharing our efforts, we can serve as a positive example to others which will result in motivating them to also volunteer." Says Danberry, CEO, Lynn Fruth.
"At Danberry we firmly believe that we can best live our mission with strong leadership guiding the company and instilling from the top down the importance of serving others," commented Danberry CEO, Lynn Fruth.
Giving back to the community is vital to our company's mission. We have several fundraising events throughout the year, including the Danberry Golf Outing and the Danberry Treasure Chest. We find it important to encourage our agents to become individually involved in local organizations that are near and dear to their hearts, as well. Which is why we started the Danberry Annual Community Benefit Event last year.
Any agent that volunteers for at least 4 hours throughout the year is invited to attend the event, which was held at The Heights at the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Toledo last night. A non-Danberry panel of judges picks 3 agents who deserve extra recognition for their outstanding achievements, and additional donations are given to the organizations of their choice.
The first place $1,000 check for a charity of her choice, went to Jill Kegler for her time working with Habitat for Humanity, United Way of Toledo, Toledo Chamber of Commerce, Lott Industries and TASBA. A second place, $500 check for his charity of choice went to Sean Rizor for his contribution to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief and Hurricane Irma clean-up. The third place, $250 check was awarded to Lisa Sedlak for her charity of choice as a result of her volunteer efforts towards Good Grief of Northwest Ohio, All Saints Catholic School and Mom's House of Toledo. Danberry agent Victoria Valle generously offered to match each of these donations.
Together, the Danberry team volunteered more than 5,600 hours from June of last year until the end of May. We're so proud of all of our agent's for their hard work and dedication to the community. We look forward to another successful Community Benefit in 2019!

A very sporty and nice-looking lil crossover
By Zak S on Sunday, March 04, 2018The CX 3 has very sporty styling and its driving abilities match this look 100%! It moves pretty quickly for a naturally aspirated 2.0 L and the maneuverability is excellent as well - with or without AWD. In the snow however, AWD will always be superior to FWD with a slight downside regarding the fuel mileage but, I never buy any car without AWD so I am fine with that. I average approximately 28 mpg combined. As mentioned prior, the styling on the outside is superior and Mazda designed the interior to compliment this sporty-styling appeal quite well: nice work Mazda! The downsides: the cargo space is not good for its class, but I knew this full well before my purchase (Honda HRV wins here). The CX 3 seats are designed very nicely and like mine, you can get them in the GT version with the black/parchment leather color combo. However, for long trips, the ride can be rough on those crazy, depleted roads and the comfort is not good at all. After an hour of driving, my legs and back can ache due to the hardness/firmness of the leather seats. FYI: my 2013 Nissan Altima and Juke both had superiority here in the seat comfort, but the Jukes ride was 10x worse than the CX 3, and my CX 3 has 19 inch wheels too! Also, the CX 3 sits low and has some blind spots but mainly in the rear view. However on a good note, the rear cross-traffic alert helps here considerably.

Great car for what it is designed for.
By Tony on Sunday, March 10, 2019Love this car! However, it's just a tad small for me and my uses. Backseat is tight for adults. Center armrest is weak--broke once. Dealer replaced it. Other than that, good reliable transportation with most of the bells and whistles....very safe car too, I feel.

CX-3 Perfect for Boomer Empty Nesters
By CX-3 Boomer on Monday, February 27, 2017Volkswagen bought my diesel Golf TDI back so I started looking around for a car I could buy with the cash (I was willing to chip in the tax and fees). To accommodate the Colorado winters and the dirt roads we find every time we explore a new mountain trail, I wanted AWD. I am boomer-aged so no kids to worry about, just my wife and maybe the dog. In reality, I would drive the car mostly alone, perhaps with my golf clubs and push cart in the back. And I am very picky and like luxury features. I live in a town where if you dont own a Subaru you pay a special tax. I already have an Outback so test-drove a Crosstrek. I went up the canyon and did not get very far before turning back to the dealership. That CVT engine is weak on hills and handles like a stagecoach. I decided to spend some time on research, where I discovered the CX-3 and its generally high marks. I test drove the car after a decent snowfall and loved its AWD handling, not to mention the very cool interior. Two weeks later, I bought the car and asked the dealer to install the interior lighting kit and the soft cargo liner. If you dont know about the latter, check it out. A liner attaches over the rear seat headrests and fully covers the back of the rear seats and the entire back area (a clever use of Velcro). So, when you put the seats down, the entire carpeted area is protected. At the same time, there is also a section that can be draped over the bumper to protect it while taking things in and out. This is perfect for a middle-aged guy like me who hauls golf clubs and a push cart fairly regularly. Nothing in the car get dirty except for this easy-to-clean liner. Enough on that - this is an enjoyable little car to drive. Plenty of zoom-zoom to keep it interesting, and an AWD system that is impressive in various conditions. I am an audiophile and find the Bose system satisfactory - better than most but not quite custom. The interior is stylish and comfortable. The seats hug perfectly, the seat heaters will toast you to a blush. The safety features (I have a fully loaded GT) will match any on the road. The first time your headlights automatically turn to bright will impress you, and the walk-away locking system is so sweet. I am not so enamored of the Navigation system but have never had one I liked. At least the interface is attractive and easy to read. Ive owned the car for just over a month in a stylish Front Range town. In that time, I have seen just ONE other CX-3 on the road. This I love, as seemingly every other car is a Subaru or RAV4 or CRV. Its still new, but I love it and believe I will for years to come.

The KneeSlider ran this piece about plastic engines; Plastic Engines – We Have the Technology – Is Anyone Interested?. The KneeSlider article is based on a piece from the NY Times. I clicked on the feed and expected to read about a new development. Instead it was a piece on the latest developments of a technology that is over twenty years old.
The Kneeslider could find no examples of motorcycle applications tested. I will take them at their word, I have only been able to out search them a couple of times over the years. With a clean slate to consider for motorcycle applications I started to wonder about several things.
What would Eric Buell have done with a plastic V-Rod engine?
What would sport bikes be like?
Vanzen's excellent thread chassis recipe, introduction made me pull out my old copy of Motorcycle Chassis Design by Tony Foale. What would the shift in cg by the weight change do to handling or chassis dynamics in general?
Would you buy a plastic engine motorcycle from a reputable manufacturer?

I teach that you should seek to learn from competitors; obviously never copy another business's idea or what they are doing, but you can absolutely learn from their mistakes or see what they are doing and discover ways to improve it. All of that analysis belongs in your business plan: make sure you have your competitors under the microscope and make sure that is a solid chunk of your plan. That is some of the best research and information you will gather about what will make your business successful in future.

Bournemouth in the Champions League places, Man City and Man United marooned in mid-table and Tottenham looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone.
This isn't the likely outcome for the end of the Premier League season, but the opening day of any campaign allows supporters of all clubs the opportunity to dream.
Just glancing at the table before a ball has even been kicked can be seen as highly irrelevant (which it is, to an extent).
But it also means supporters of clubs like Bournemouth can revel in how far they've come - despite how tough the next nine months may be.
Bournemouth's story has been well-documented and when they step out on the pitch against Aston Villa tomorrow, it will be a moment that every single person associated with the Cherries never thought possible.
Likewise, other clubs that have seen nothing but despair and relegation in recent times can start afresh and look to a new, and hopefully brighter, future.
The opening day of any season always conjures up positive thoughts.
"This is our year" may say some overly-optimistic supporters.
"It can't be worse than last year" will say others.
Of course the optimism can vanish early into a season - for some it may occur as soon as 5pm on Saturday, especially if their side has been on the end of a tonking.
But, the beauty of football is that there's always next season!

Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
We want know your opinion about a Hodgkin's Disease (HD) case. L.G., female, age 28, European, Medical Doctor (Surgeon). In December 1995 she was given a diagnosis of HD scleronodular type (SN 1) by cervical lymph node biopsy. The staging demonstred mediastinal and retroperitoneal nodes involvment. Liver and spleen were free of disease. The disease was classified stage III B. The patient underwent chemotherapy with MOPP plus ABV (Vancouver hybrid program):
mecloretamina 6 mg/mq
vincristina 1.4mg/mq
procarbazina 100 mg/mq for 7 days
prednisone 40 mg/mq for 14 days
doxorubicina 35 mg/mq
bleomicina 10u/mq
vinblastina 6 mg/mq
-for 6 + 2 cycles.
After the 4th cycle, total remission of the disease was obtained (late remission?). The re-staging of the disease on November 1996 (CT scan total-body) demonstred a retrosternal residual that was considered as fibrotic outcome (about 20 mm diameter). A second CT scan on February 1997 demonstrated a little increase of retrosternal image that seems to be about 25 to 30 mm in diameter, at the moment. A Scintiscanning with Gallium 67 citrate demonstrated a pathological radioactive capture of radiogallium in the restrosternal area.
The first problem is: the lesion is a residual of HD? or is a fibrotic involvment? Which of these different therapeutic approaches are the most indicated: 1)intensification of chemotherapy with bone marrow transplant? 2)Mediastinic area RT? 3)Surgical biopsy (thoracoscopy, mediastinoscopy biopsy)?
Ken Blank, MD, and John Han-Chih Chang, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistants, respond:
Dear R.P.:
Thank you for your question.
Gallium scans and CT scans can be nonspecific. Residual abnormalities on these studies following therapy of HD may represent residual cancer, inflammatory/infectious etiology, or fibrosis. Distinguishing cancer from the other entities is a fairly common therapeutic dilemma and, unfortunately, short of a biopsy there is no sure method to resolve this conundrum. Each such case must be handled individually. However, in general, management options include re-biopsy, observation, or treating empirically by giving more chemotherapy or radiation and then re-scanning (gallium or CT) for a response. Please see further information at:

Jim Hubbard's Prime Tri-Five Pickup
There's something about owning a classic truck that gets in the blood, for it's rare to meet an owner of a vintage pickup who hasn't owned one before. Jim Hubbard falls into this category, having owned a 1957 Chevy pickup back in the early 1970s, powered by a 327 Chevy small-block and backed by a four-speed manual. As it goes, Jim's family grew, finally to the point where it was necessary to replace the pickup with something more "family friendly."
Fast forward a dozen or more years, and as Jim's kids grew, so did the desire for something vintage to park in the Hubbard's garage. After searching without avail for something the whole family could fit in, Jim happened upon a 1957 Chevy pickup with no rust and only a handful of dings and dents. With a short block 350 Chevy engine backed by a four-speed under the hood, it was nearly identical to his old truck! His fate sealed, Jim and the owner struck a deal and once again a classic truck was in the Hubbard family.
It wasn't long after the pickup had arrived at the Hubbard residence that Jim started the tedious job of disassembly. Once down to the bare frame, Jim sent the cab and sheetmetal out to be chemically stripped, while his attention was turned to the chassis. First, a stub from an early 1970s Camaro was sourced from a local junkyard, which replaced the stock straight axle with an independent setup. Disc brakes and power steering were another added benefit of the Camaro setup, along with a pair of Firestone airbags, which allow the 1957 to sit as low as it does.
Out back, a Ford 9-inch rearend was equipped with a Positraction differential and located by a pair of traction bars. Firestone airbags support the backend as well and give the truck that "in the weeds" stance. The whole chassis from stem to stern was then disassembled, powdercoated, and reassembled before the one-off Esajian wheels, 18x8s up front and 20x18s out back, shod in Mickey Thompson rubber were mounted to round out the rolling orders.
To replace the tired short block Chevy, Jim decided on a Chevrolet Performance crate 454 backed by a B&M TH-400. Equipped with an Edelbrock performance package by Jeff Smith Auto, the big-block powerplant makes plenty of ponies to satisfy Jim's lead foot and those massive MT tires definitely help put the power to the pavement.
While the chassis and drivetrain work was being completed, Paco Lopez at A-Universal Auto Body in Gardena, California, was hard at work getting the mid-century sheetmetal in perfect shape. Paco worked every curve to perfection, nosed the hood, shaved the fender badges, and added a pair of sport mirrors up front, while out back the tailgate and bedrails were smoothed, and custom roll pan was installed.
Inside the bed, the entire floor was raised and custom wheelwells were fabricated, flanked by the oak wood floor that Jim built himself. The entire bed assembly is hinged and can raise and lower via a pair of airbags, which makes changing the massive rear tires possible. With the sheetmetal massaged to perfection, Paco applied the House of Kolor Cobalt Blue, a color Jim picked out from his wife's makeup.
Back at Jim's Cypress, California, garage, the detailed body components were mated to the equally detailed chassis before a Summit Racing wiring harness was used to bring the truck to life. From there, a final trip to Wahl's Custom Upholstery in Los Alamitos, California, was all it took to finish up the build. Rene Wahl applied Shammy Mercedes Benz Ultraleather to nearly every square inch of the cab, including the bench seat that Jim borrowed from a 1972 Chevy pickup. A Pioneer sound system complements the exhaust note from the 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust system, while a B&M shifter and Grant steering wheel give Jim full control of his truck as it barrels down the road. A column-mounted tach and a trio of gauges keep an eye on the 600-horsepower big-block alongside the stock 1957 cluster.
Having weathered the storm, taking his truck project from pile to prime, Jim, a retired meat cutter, says that next time he's going to start with a vehicle that's already finished, making slight variations to suit his taste after the fact.

Fullback C.J. Zimmerer completed his Husker career in the 2013 season. Zimmerer was a key contributor at the fullback spot throughout his Nebraska career, while also contributing on special teams. Zimmerer played in his 41st career game in the Huskers' Gator Bowl win over Georgia.
In addition to his on-field contributions, Zimmerer has made a significant mark in the classroom and community during his time at Nebraska. The Omaha native graduated with a 3.76 grade-point average in criminology and criminal justice in December of 2012, and earned second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors this season. Zimmerer also earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the third straight season in 2013.
Zimmerer was one of 11 FBS football student-athletes named to the American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team for his community outreach efforts. In January, Zimmerer was honored by Uplifting Athletes as its 2014 winner of the Rare Disease Champion Award. He joined Rex Burkhead as NU's second winner of the honor in the past three years.
2013 (Senior)
Zimmerer played in all 13 games and made six starts at fullback. Zimmerer did not have a carry, but his lead blocking played a key role in the All-Big Ten season of I-back Ameer Abdullah who rushed for 1,690 yards, the most by a Husker in 16 seasons.
Zimmerer had a two-yard reception against UCLA, and was a starter on the kickoff return squad. He had two kickoff returns for 15 yards.
2012 (Junior)
Zimmerer saw action in every game, and started against Minnesota. He saw time at both at fullback and on the Huskers' PAT and field goal units. Zimmerer had four rushes for 18 yards, including three carries for 14 yards against Idaho State. Zimmerer also had a six-yard reception against Michigan. His blocking helped Nebraska average better than 250 rushing yards per game.
2011 (Sophomore)
Zimmerer saw limited action in the backfield, but was a regular on NU's kickoff return team and as a blocker on the PAT and field goal unit. He played in 11 games overall.
2010 (Redshirt Freshman)
Zimmerer backed up Legate at fullback, and appeared in Nebraska victories over Western Kentucky, Kansas State and Colorado.
2009 (Redshirt)
Zimmerer redshirted and worked on the scout team.
Before Nebraska (Omaha Gross HS)
Zimmerer was a two-way standout for Coach Tim Johnk at Omaha Gross High School each of his last three seasons. Zimmerer posted impressive numbers on both sides of the ball in 2008. As a running back, he posted 1,325 yards and 17 touchdowns, while averaging better than 10 yards per carry. Defensively, Zimmerer was a force at linebacker, where he made 90 tackles, including nine tackles for loss, and added a pair of interceptions.
His performance as a senior helped Gross to a 9-2 record and a trip to the second round of the Class B state playoffs. Zimmerer was named to the Lincoln Journal Star Super-State first team as a fullback, while the Omaha World-Herald made him a first-team All-Nebraska pick at linebacker. He was also the honorary captain of the World-Herald's Class B all-state defense. During his junior season, he ran for 701 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 88 carries, while making 123 tackles, including five sacks on defense. His play as a junior earned him first-team Class B all-state honors from both the state's largest papers. He also started on the Cougar defense during his sophomore season.
Zimmerer also played basketball at Gross prior to his senior season and competed for the Cougars' track team. He was one of the first players to join the 2009 recruiting class, committing to the Huskers in May 2008.
The son of Tim and Jackie Zimmerer, C.J. was born on May 23, 1991. Zimmerer majored in criminology and criminal justice and earned his bachelor's degree from Nebraska in December of 2012. He is a three-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor selection and was a four-time pick to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll. Zimmerer is also very active in community outreach work, and has been named to the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team in both 2011 and 2012. He has volunteered his time with team hospital and school visits, Madonna Rehabilitation Center, Cub Scouts, School is Cool Week, Husker Hotline, Husker Connect and the YWCA.

Undergraduate Programs
Major in American Studies
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in American Studies offers students the opportunity to examine American history, culture, and social life within an interdisciplinary framework. This approach, drawing on faculty members in departments such as English, Art and Art History, Political Science, Religion and Classics, Music, Anthropology, Philosophy, History, Film and Media Studies, and Modern Languages and Cultures, allows for especially rich explorations of such topics as: the arts in American society; race, class, gender, ethnicity, and religion as aspects of American identity; ideas and institutions that have shaped the United States, past and present; and expanding beyond the traditional limitation of American Studies to the United States to consider global perspectives. The Major enables students to range freely across disciplinary boundaries while developing an area of focus. Students also consider the role of the American nation in a global context.

Kitchen Apprentice: Becoming a Better Home Cook
So far one of the most valuable things I've been able to take away from my time in the kitchen is my exposure to new foods, new ingredients, and the techniques used to prepare them. Some things I loved (roasted celery root, slivered pig hearts), some things less so (caperberries taste "like a fermented foot" as eloquently described by one line cook). Before working at The Restaurant, I'd never tasted vegetables like romanescu or puntarelle, much less prepared them.
Puntarelle was especially puzzling to me: what a weird-looking vegetable, and how annoying to prepare. For salads, the hollow stalks get snapped off, sliced in half lengthwise, julienned and dunked in an ice bath. The puntarelle strips have to be very thin so that they'll curl in the bath, which means a lot of nicked fingers for me. More than once, I've found myself frantically poking through a mound of puntarelle for a missing tip of a fingernail before tossing the bunch and starting over.
I know I am not the only one in the kitchen who does not look forward to prepping puntarelle, but I definitely execute the task with the least grace.
Most evenings, if I still have the energy, I go to Whole Foods after my shift to continue my education. Since my shifts are on Sundays, the produce sections are fairly picked-over and blighted looking by then. But where I normally would have passed on a bruised eggplant, I now know from my experience with family meals at The Restaurant that the blemished vegetable is perfectly fine, and probably tastes great.
I find new potential in root vegetables, cheaper cuts of meat, and herbs I previously knew little to nothing about. I know where to scrimp (I don't need organic lemons and avocados) and where to spend (invest in good olive oil!).
I also try to recreate dishes from The Restaurant at home, but using a limited budget translates to more dishes fortified by chickpeas and lentils. I don't have an immersion circulator to mass-prepare proteins or a restaurant-grade pasta machine, but I try to implement whatever techniques I can.
Before my apprenticeship, besides baking the occasional birthday cake or roasting turkey for Thanksgiving, the primary use for my oven was for storing muffin pans and a multi-tier steamer. Now, almost everything I cook gets roasted or flashed in the oven at some point. My pasta water gets more salt than it ever used to, and my attempts at fresh ravioli are increasing in frequency. The flavor profile of my food has changed as well: a lot less soy sauce, scallions and ginger, a lot more pepper, olive oil and chili flakes.
My mom likes certain restaurant practices that I now reinforce at home, like composting, but others have her convinced that I am slowly devolving into some Neanderthal in genus. Once, after sitting down to a steak dinner, I immediately reached out and poked the center of mine. In retrospect, it was pretty rude of me, but I acted without thinking, without realizing until I caught my mom's wide-eyed, semi-slack jawed gaze from across the table.
"Your hands! Why do you touch everything?! Here's a fork."
She hates how I'll pick up a piece of food with my fingers straight from a pan to taste it ("Spoons! We have spoons!") and she's not crazy about how I sniff things before I eat them either.
But if this particular decline in etiquette is any indication that my instincts are slowly maturing, I am excited to see how far it will go.

A Community Board 5 (CB5) special committee, convened to review the proposal to convert a former manufacturing site into a homeless shelter, met at the board headquarters on Myrtle Avenue last week to discuss plans to find a lawyer.
"Most of the nature of the meeting was to review correspondence we recently sent out and received - correspondence from DHS back to us - and then to talk about the potential for legal action," said CB5 district manager Gary Giordano.
Giordano said while plans are tentative on whether a lawsuit is the right approach to refute a recently released Environmental Assessment Study (EAS) of the property, paperwork the board says is riddled with flaws, he did affirm the community and the board's plan to fight it until operator Samaritan Village opens the doors.
"We're certainly working with the president of several civic organizations to find an attorney, whether that be pro bono or for a fee for their services, to take legal action if the city of New York continues to pursue this," he said. "And I have no reason to think they won't continue to pursue what I consider the worst plan I have seen in the Board 5 area in the 25 years that I've been district manager."
City Comptroller Scott Stringer recently sent a letter of concern to Department of Homeless Services (DHS) commissioner Gilbert Taylor regarding an audit of the department's current policy on shelters based on the city's current "significant homelessness crisis."
Stringer argued that while a recent report from HUD secretary Shaun Donovan suggests homelessness has seen a 9 percent decline nationwide since 2007, a flaw in the city's plan to address the issue has resulted in a 51 percent "surge" in the same time period.
"The current playbook for dealing with the homelessness in the five boroughs is failing," Stringer wrote in the letter.
Stringer added his particular concern with the lack of community outreach from DHS and its partners surrounding shelter proposals like the one in Glendale.
"Time and time again, I have seen communities that were traditionally welcoming of shelter facilities and supportive housing react negatively to a rushed DHS placement due to a failure to consider either legitimate potential neighborhood impacts or the health of the families the residences are intended to support," he wrote.
Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi has joined nearly every local elected official in opposition to the shelter on Cooper Avenue, as well as the current policies that are the driving force behind new facilities from DHS that result in little to no community outreach.
The assemblyman added that he too is in full support of bringing legal action, adding that he plans to "assist the community in their efforts to retain counsel."
A DHS spokesperson responded to negative feedback regarding the study and ongoing efforts by the city to address the homeless crisis, explaining that they plan to continue to address the issue and push for "quality housing."
"The administration is unconditionally committed to honoring its mandate to provide quality shelter to homeless New Yorkers in need," the spokesperson said. "Many of them are hard-working parents with children unable to make ends meet in an increasingly unequal economy."
Meanwhile, Samaritan Village has failed to comment after nearly one month of requests for statement from this media outlet. Likewise, every member of the Samaritan Village Board of Directors has also refused or been unavailable for comment.

Nominate a concert venue!
We invite you to choose somewhere for Matthew Barley to play
In 2013, cellist Matthew Barley will be devoting himself to Benjamin Britten. Or, more precisely to a solo tour around the UK that celebrates the centenary of the composer's birth.
As we explore in the October issue of BBC Music Magazine, Matthew will be performing in a wide range of venues, including churches, concert halls and even a patch of woodland in Devon.
And now, here's the exciting bit – Matthew has left three of the tour dates open for BBC Music Magazine readers to choose the venue. We want to hear your suggestions which can, frankly, be wherever you like within the UK. All we ask is that they are big enough to hold a cellist and small audience, don't present a health hazard (!) and have the ability to be connected to an electricity supply.
Send your ideas to us at firstname.lastname@example.com by 31 October. Matthew will then choose the three best, which we will announce in our January 2013 issue.
In the meantime, to inspire you, the BBC Music Magazine team has come up with our own ideas…:
Oliver Condy
A around nine years ago, a disused Victorian swimming pool in Manchester was awarded over £3m as a result of winning the BBC's Restoration series. The programme, that pitched historic but disused or derelict buildings against each other to win valuable funding for restoration, highlighted just how many of these glorious 19th-century pools lay unused, unloved and crumbling – all over Britain. They all have rich acoustics (if a trifle echoey, admittedly). But imagine the scene – Matthew Barley sitting in the centre of an empty pool with his audience perched around the edge, the rich sound of his cello rising, as it were, from the depths, filling the cavernous space, bouncing off the glorious decorative tiling. And we wouldn't even have to get changed in front of each other.
Jeremy Pound
Deputy editor
The very word 'Barley' turns my mind (in worryingly Pavlovian fashion) towards the subject of whisky. Where better to hold an atmospheric, intimate concert than a distillery warehouse? Time stands still in these places, with barrels left untouched as their contents mature over 10, 20 even 30 years or more – the very requirements of the aging process ensure that life goes more or less undisturbed, year after year. It's between the rows of barrels that I can picture Matthew playing, say, Bach, in the gloomy half-light of a single bulb and amid that faint, pungent but evocative whisky vapour smell. Of the distilleries I have visited, most would do nicely for this purpose, but for the full experience, I'd want one of the more remote, spectacularly located ones. Built alongside the waters of Loch Harport against the brooding backdrop of the Cuillin hills, it has to be Talisker on the island of Skye.
Rebecca Franks
Reviews editor
One side of Nelson Street in Bristol is a riot of colour, home of perhaps the UK's largest street art project. On the other stands the only remaining city gate and the attached 14th-century church of St John the Baptist. For four years I walked past it every day on my way to work, and always wondered what was behind a small wooden door in the church's wall. One day it was open, a warm glow inviting me in. I found myself in a street-level crypt (see picture at top of page) – an intimate space, with a vaulted ceiling – into which a solo cellist and his audience would just fit nicely. Travellers to this port city were welcomed into the church above to pray, and in the crypt itself an alabaster tomb depicts a merchant and his large family, a mark of Bristol's past trading wealth. Would a sense of these people long gone and stories once told enrich a concert? I like to think so.
Elizabeth Davis
Editorial assistant
From the age of ten I spent my summers in the impossibly beautiful and ramshackle Cornish town of St Ives. The whole region is scattered with charming, matter-of-fact granite churches, hunkered down in the landscape to shelter from tempests and gales. But there's something particularly special about the fishermen's chapel in St Ives. The one-room St Nicholas's chapel sits on the top of a grassy promontory known in the town as 'The Island' (and there are local stories that the hill was indeed once surrounded by water) and although no one knows exactly when the chapel was built there are records of its existence as far back as the 15th century. It has been used as a lookout for smugglers, as a store by the War Office and is dedicated to fishermen. There are even tiles inside created by the renowned local potter Bernard Leach. I can't think of a more enchanting and intimate place to hear classical music.
Helen Wallace
Consultant editor
I'd like to hear Matthew play these magnificent Suites in the small church of All Saints, Tudeley, Kent, all 12 of whose windows were created by Marc Chagall. These blazing, figurative jewels were being made in Reims around the same time that Britten was writing his own Suites for Rostropovich. Their illuminated visions of humanity have a tenderness and broken quality reflected in Britten's heart-searching pieces, and are a memorial to the death of a young girl in a sailing accident. They bring a bold Russian sensibility into an English 18th-century church – what better resonance for Britten's own Suites, with their Baroque, Christian roots and their soaring, rebellious spirituality?
Neil McKim
Production editor
This idea might seem a bit barking, but a few years ago I went to a concert at Bath Cats and Dogs home. Bear with me here. I'd nominate this as a potential, if slightly unusual, venue for Matthew Barley to perform, as it's in the open air, on top of the hillside of this great World Heritage City – and the animals seemed to really enjoy having live music playing (well, they didn't howl!). Indeed, they've previously survived the antics of The Wurzels without complaint, so an audience with cellist Matthew Barley would, I'm sure, be an extremely welcome move for them. It could even be timed to coincide with Bath's excellent annual classical music festival (in June) and the audience could be encouraged to bring their pets along for a unique outdoor sunset concert.
Where in the UK would you like to hear Matthew Barley perform a solo cello recital? Send your ideas to us at email@example.com, get in touch with us on Twitter or Facebook and you can also add your photos to our Pinterest page.

All About PDX Pop Now!
PDX Pop Now! is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating, promoting, and enhancing Portland's vital and diverse music community. We also strive to connect this community, in various ways, to the public.
Begun in 2004 in true DIY fashion by a dozen or so members of the PDX-POP mailing list, the group has produced three music compilations and FREE, ALL AGES multi-day music festivals, to which The Shins, The Thermals, Sleater-Kinney, The Decemberists, Viva Voce, Stephen Malkmus, Lifesavas, Quasi, M. Ward, Menomena, The Blow, Mirah, Talkdemonic, The Gossip, Helio Sequence, and dozens more Portland artists – nationally-heralded and little-known alike – contributed recordings or performances.
The PDX Pop Now! festivals – which have provided the public the opportunity to see up to 50 of Portland's finest bands in one safe venue -have drawn audiences in the thousands. The compilations have generated considerable play from local FM radio and have sold thousands of combined copies, mostly through local independent record stores, and helped fund the festivals.
Artists, businesses, and individual volunteers all donated the time and resources to produce three truly stellar grassroots events – something PDX Pop Now! stands poised to accomplish for a fourth year.
And who knows? Maybe next year, you'll start your own music festival!

Maren O. Mitchell's Beat Chronic Pain -- An Insider's Guide offers her reader this specific hope -- Return to Your Life: Ways to Confront and Relieve Pain Through Avenues Other Than Drugs. Another title for this book could have been How To Ignore Pain.
The book spoke strongest to me when I read these words: "How to deal with the
enemy--(Pain) Ignore him--write him out of your life." Maren O. Mitchell's positive approach is practical as well as intensely personal. She promises, "Pain does not take well to being laughed at. When ignored, "It sort of shrinks up and slowly slinks away."
There are in this book a number of specific activities for beating pain. One suggestion
is to practice an imaging exercise. You are told to remember "a place and a time when you were stress free, pain free, healthy and strong, safe, loved, happy. Go there and gather images, colors, textures, movement" and more. "Savor the pleasure of being there" and "let your time there give you happiness right now." See exact instructions on pages 67-71. The author admits her "favorite place to imagine and travel to is "a two room cabin....that my father built beside a stream in North Carolina."
I enjoyed reading this book and liked knowing Maren O. Mitchell is a writer and a practicing poet who writes to ignore her pain. A number of her poems are sprinkled throughout the book. Her poems have been also published in some of the best American literary magazines such as Southern Humanities Review, Journal of Kentucky Studies, Wild Goose Poetry Review, and in the anthologies, Echoes Across the Blue Ridge and Sunrise From Blue Thunder.
The different approaches that this author offers to help you ignore pain are valuable. I understand that a person who wants to beat chronic pain does not have to write poems to get relief. That is not the point. Practicing imagery,(which is a technique of poetry) going back in memory to a favorite place, has been proven to relieve pain, even if you do not write it. During imagery, your mind stays busy for a period of time, for minutes even hours, allowing you to ignore your pain.
If you suffer from chronic pain or you love someone who does, I encourage you to buy this book, read it, find solutions to use and to share.
