Like a snake eating its own tail, of course I have to respond to Tim's response to my response to Dan Wolken's response to the standard defense of the BCS. In his reply, Tim accused me of conflating his argument with "poorlyconceived" arguments from "low-hanging fruit." This time, therefore, I've decided to confine my response to Tim's own words.
The main point Tim makes is this: "People dislike the BCS not because it's different, but because it's unfair." As Tim says, I myself have admitted that it's unfair. This is true, but Tim's dilemma is false: People dislike the BCS both because it is unfair and because it is different. The essence of my point is that, because the BCS is different, it seems more unfair than it really is.

Rivendell Sam Hillborne: Floor Model Test-Ride at Harris Cyclery
As mentioned previously, I received a Rivendell Sam Hillborne frame for the holidays. It was a joint gift from several parties, purchased at Harris Cyclery. Here are all the beautiful Rivendell frames that were hanging at Harris at the time (Atlantis, orange Hillborne, and green Hillborne). The one on the right became mine. I was excited to get the last green frame in my size: They are being replaced by the orange, but that gorgeous green was the colour I wanted.
Some of you expressed surprise that I got a diamond frame and not the Betty Foy. But I specifically wanted a diamond frame that I could fit with drop bars and use for sporty, long-distance rides. My experiment with drop bars on my vintage Motobecane did not work out last summer, but I do miss them. The one thing Rivendell bikes are known for, is comfortable geometry, making the Hillborne perfect for trying to conquer drop bars again. So that was the rationale behind this frame. Receiving a frame rather than a finished bicycle does put financial responsibility on me to come up with the funds for parts. But I think that's great, as building up the bike will keep me obsessed/entertained for months.
This is a built-up Harris floor model in the same size as the frame I got: 52cm, with 650B wheels. It is fitted with gorgeous red Grand Bois Hetre tires (650B x 42mm), Nitto Moustache handlebars, and a Brooks B17 saddle. I will probably fit mine with the white version of these tires and with Nitto Noodle bars, as well as add some fenders.
Before deciding on the Hillborne frame, I took the floor model for a short ride. It was a freezing day and the ground was covered with patches of snow, which created interesting test-ride conditions. But this was not the first time I had test-ridden the Hillborne; I have tried both him and Betty earlier in the Fall.
As you can see, I have been perfecting my leg-swing technique and no longer have too much of a problem mounting diamond-frames. (I was actually kind of proud that I could do this in a floor-length parka!)
There are many things that attracted me to the Hillborne, but what truly swept me off my feet was how comfortable and stable it felt. Even with the Moustache bars on the floor model being set too far out for me, I felt comfortable riding it in traffic. And the geometry allows me to keep my leg extended when pedaling, while still being able to reach the ground with a toe - Splendid!
The Moustache bars on the floor model were handsome, but after trying them a few times over the past several months I do not think they are for me. I feel that they present the same challenges as drop bars, but without the benefit of offering as many hand positions. So I think I will stick with the plan to get drop bars.
These are such nice looking handlebars though, and I know that some people, like Alan at ecovelo, are very happy with them - so it is a matter of personal preference.
This pretty much concludes my Hillborne test ride report. I like the way Harris builds up their floor models and will only make a few changes when I build up mine. The main one, is that I plan to get a dynamo hub (Shimano Alfine) for the front wheel, which should be exciting. I am looking forward to riding my own version of this bicycle in Spring!

So you just got your hot little hands on a copy of great-great-granddad's will and he names "his brother-in-law Joe Blow" as one of his co-executors. Do you now throw your arms up in the air and do the genealogy happy dance because you have uncovered the long sought after maiden name your great-great grandmother? It's tempting! But maybe it's not quite time to break out the champagne. Here's a true story from my family files.
Sebastian Keeley (sometimes spelled Keely) was my 5X's great grandfather. At the time of his death he lived on a "plantation" in Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Records show he also operated a tavern. He died on November 8, 1777 at the age of 48. In his will he names as co-executors his wife Elizabeth, his son Matthias and his brother-in-law George Christman. It is my belief that this is where William Henry Egle, the Pennsylvania State Librarian who wrote a series of genealogy-related articles for the Harrisburg PA Daily Telegraph newspaper in the late 1800s, got his information. His Egle's "Notes and Queries" is a multiple volume compilation of about 5000 pages containing historical and biographical information on families from eastern and central Pennsylvania. It is an important and widely available genealogical resource in Pennsylvania. And it says my 5x's great grandmother was Elizabeth Christman.
So this is my starting point. Elizabeth Christman is my 5x's great-grandmother. Now what? Well naturally I want to find her parents – my 6x's great-grandparents. And this is where everything starts to fall apart.
The Keely family, headed by Sebastian's father Valentine, arrived in American around 1728. Valentine settled in what would be become western Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Two of his children, Matthias and Sebastian settled across the river in Chester County when they became of age.
Daniel, patriarch of the Christman family, came to America 1730. He purchased land near Valentine Keely's property in 1738. According to Christman genealogists, Daniel's children were born between 1731 and 1744. Some of his children also wound up settling across the river in Chester County.
This area (i.e. northern Chester County and western Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) was not a huge population center. Despite pockets of housing developments, even in 2011 most people would characterize this area as relatively rural — particularly on the Chester County side of the river. So back in the late 1700s the population was downright sparse. This is good because there are a limited number of Keelys as well as a limited number of Christmans living in the area for us to analyze.
Now, as you'll recall, Sebastian was born 1729. Logically, his spouse would be in the generation of Daniel's children. There's also a small chance Elizabeth could be a granddaughter of Daniel – particularly if he was widowed and she was a second wife. So let's look at George Christman – Sebastian's brother-in-law. In a deed dated 1801, the executors of the estate of Sebastian Keely sold land in Limerick township, Montgomery County to Jacob Keely (one of Sebastian's sons). In that deed George Christman is described as a yeoman of Pikeland township. Now I have been told (correct me if I'm wrong) that in this case, the term of yeoman refers to a farmer who owned land. Through a combination of civil and church records, it can be proved that the George Christman who lived and owned land in Pikeland township, and who was of age to be an executor in 1777, was the son of Daniel Christman, the immigrant mentioned above. And George had a sister named Elizabeth!
So far so good, right? Well, let's keep going with this. Daniel Christman died in 1760. In his will he describes his daughter Elizabeth as a spinster. So Elizabeth Christman was unmarried when her father wrote his will. So if Sebastian and Elizabeth married after Daniel's death in 1760, all of their (legitimate) children would have been born after that and would have been under the age of 17 when Sebastian died in 1777. But baptism and other records show that Sebastian had at least 4 children born between 1754 and 1760, as well as four more between about 1762 and 1772. Egle apparently knew this. He implied that Elizabeth was the second wife of Sebastian. What he apparently did not realize, however, was that church records show that Elizabeth Christman, daughter of Daniel, married Johannes Haas/Hause on March 12, 1861. Burial records for Vincent Mennonite Cemetery (aka Rhoades Burial Ground) show that Elizabeth Hause, wife of Johannes, died in 1777.
As if that isn't bad enough, when Elizabeth Keeley died in 1807, her son Jacob petitioned the orphan's court to partition or sell land. Jacob was born in 1758. Jacob's petition lists the names of his then living brothers and sisters as well as the surviving children of his deceased brother Sebastian. From the way this document is written, it would appear that Elizabeth was the mother of all of Sebastian's known children. To top it off, the birth date of Elizabeth Christman, daughter of Daniel, as recorded in her baptism record, is inconsistent with the birth date inscribed on Elizabeth Keeley's tombstone. It is, however, consistent with the birth date on the tombstone of Elizabeth Haas/Hause.
So where did we go wrong? Perhaps we found the wrong set of George/Elizabeth Christman siblings. But given the facts we have about George the executor, the only George Christman who possibly fits the bill is unequivocally also the son of Daniel. In the end, our entire premise for Elizabeth Keeley having the maiden name of Christman is the fact that Sebastian called George Christman his brother-in-law.
So who are your brother-in-laws? Strictly speaking your brother-in-law is the brother of your wife or the spouse of your sister. In the interest of space, in this case, George's wife is not Sebastian's sister. Nor did George have a deceased wife who was Sebastian's sister. Nor did George have a deceased sister who was Sebastian's first wife. That pretty much covers all the brother-in-law bases. Except one. My husband has three sisters. They are my sister-in-laws. Strictly speaking their husbands are not my brother-in-laws – but I've called them brother-in-laws. Don't most people?
What if Sebastian's wife and George's wife were sisters. Would Sebastian call George his brother-in-law? Well, I think so and I think that's exactly what happened in this case. George's wife was Sophia Frey or Fry. I am slowly finding more information on the Frys in the area. So far, it's all starting to fit together. There aren't the glaring inconsistencies as there are with Daniel Christman's daughter. But it's still a little premature to start doing the happy dance. Of course, there's also the bit about Elizabeth Christman. She was declared to be Sebastian's wife by a very well-known, respected source over 100 years ago. It's been an uphill battle trying to convince other Keeley/Keely researchers that that may not be the case!
So getting back to the Tuesday's Tip — check all the possibilities. Particularly when it comes to relationships. Sometimes siblings are really half-siblings (or even step-siblings). Sometimes brothers are brothers-in-laws. (I also have a will where this is the case.) Sometimes adopted or step children are not explicitly identified as such. And sometimes a brother-in-law is, in the strictest sense of the word, not a brother-in-law but rather the spouse of your sister-in-law!

Extortion charges against two people in the Bahamas in connection with the death of John Travolta's son have been dropped at the request of the actor and his wife.
Tarino Lightbourne and Pleasant Bridgewater were facing a new trial beginning Monday after a mistrial last fall. They were accused of trying to force Travolta and wife Kelly Preston to pay them $25 million by threatening to release private information following the death of the Travolta's teenage son Jett. The 16-year-old boy died after suffering a seizure at the family's vacation home Jan. 2, 2009.
Lightbourne a paramedic who responded to the scene, allegedly threatened to make public a release that Travolta signed to have Jett taken directly to the airport, even though the youth ultimately died at a local hospital and the document never came into play. The disclosure seemed to be aimed at embarrassing the Travolta family.
U.S. & World
Last fall, Travolta appeared in a Bahamas court to testify against Lightbourne, and Bridgewater, his lawyer. The pair pleaded not guilty to the charges and their first trial ended in a mistrial after a Bahamian lawmaker inexplicably told a public gathering that Bridgewater had been acquitted.
Prosecutor Neil Braithwaite submitted a motion to dismiss the case Monday at the request of the actor and his family. A spokesman said the case had caused the Travolta family "unbelievable" stress and they wanted to put it behind them.

House arrest is for chumps like Bernard Madoff who confessed to his sons that he lost $50 billion.
Perhaps that's what Florida fund manager Arthur Nadel figured when he left for work this week and never arrived at the office, or came home. Now investors suspect that the 76-year-old manager of Scoop Management, Inc. may have lost $350 million of their money, according to Bloomberg News.
Nadel, a former real estate developer and graduate of New York University Law School, was last seen Wednesday when he went off to work at his money management company. He later called his stepson and directed him to a note he had left at his house, which the Herald-Tribune in Sarasota described as a suicide note.
U.S. & World
Police began an investigation when they received a call reporting the suspicion that hundreds of millions of dollars of investors' money was missing from Scoop Management.
Mega-fund manager and one-time Wall St. legend Bernard Madoff has been under house arrest since he confessed to running a multi-year self-described Ponzi scheme in which he may have lost $50 billion of investors' money. Fund manager Rene-Thierry Magon De La Villehuchet , who invested his clients' wealth with Madoff, later killed himself in his office.
In contrast, an Indiana investment manager tried to make a run for it in elaborate fashion by faking his death. Marcus Schrenker flew his plane to Florida and parachuted out in mid-flight after calling in a distress call that insinuated he was injured by a collision with a bird.
Faking it appears to be common with failed or crooked money managers. Last year, Samuel Israel III faked a suicide leap off a New York bridge the day he was scheduled to report to prison after being convicted of fraud. He later turned himself in at the advice of his mother.

"'They have quite an effect if you pull them out mid-orgasm,' says Christian, watching me carefully." –excerpt from the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy
The Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads gradually increase in size as you insert them, allowing the beads to keep up with your growing anal experience. This gives you a sex toy that grows with you and keeps you busy for months instead of one that you quickly "outgrow" and forget about. All of the beads are oval-shaped to create a tapered profile that makes insertion and removal easier. The string of anal beads is extremely flexible and bendable to naturally fit the contours of your body allowing for maximum stimulation and comfort.
The base of the 50 Shades of Grey Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads features a large ring. This ring doubles as a safety feature and control method. The ring limits just how deeply you can take the beads and prevents you from inserting them too far. The ring also allows greater control over the beads by letting you remove them quickly and easily if they become uncomfortable or for any other reason.
And as Christian suggests in 50 Shades of Grey, you can remove the anal beads in the middle of an orgasm. The popping sensation helps intensify and prolong your climax to take you to heights you've never experienced before!
The Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads measure from 0.35 inches to 1 inch wide. The entire string of beads measures 10 inches long, with up to 8.75 inches insertable. The anal beads are made from silicone, which has several special properties that makes them uniquely suitable for anal stimulation. Silicone is non-porous so it won't pick up dirt or grime and is easier to clean than other materials used in sex toys. Silicone is also hypoallergenic so it won't cause any allergies or skin problems. Additionally, silicone sex toys are also extremely durable for long-lasting fun.
Adam & Eve recommends the Pleasure Intensified Anal Beads from The Official Fifty Shades of Grey Collection™ for anal and prostate stimulation.
The anal beads are compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based sex lubes. Wash the beads thoroughly in hot, soapy water before and after each use. You can also dip silicone toys in boiling water or spray them with Adam & Eve Toy Cleaner. Let your anal beads dry before hiding them in the storage bag in a discreet location.
Due to manufacturer pricing policies, we are unable to offer further (all) discounts on this item.

Single parent families are often faced with lower incomes and more stress than two-parent families. The fact that there is only one adult in the household and no one to seek counsel from can be discouraging. Debt, childcare, home maintenance, and auto repair, can crunch a budget. And often little or no child support can leave the single parent feeling that their situation is hopeless. Thoughts of how to fund college for your children only adds to the frustration.
There is much a single parent can do to keep from being eaten by the "financial dragon." And with careful planning, creativity, and research, children from a single parent family can obtain an excellent education. The enemy would like you to believe that your kids will be forever cursed with poverty and low paying jobs, but God wants to assure you that He has a plan for your family…and it's a good one!!
Here are some practical steps.
1. Learn
The first and most important step is for you as the head of your home is to receive Biblical teaching on what God says about money and possessions. Ask your church about classes that teach Biblical financial principles. There are seminars and books that can help, but the accountability that comes from a small group offers an incomparable dynamic. Seek a program that provides Biblical instruction as well as practical application of budgeting. If your heart is willing He will teach you how to surrender everything you owe, and own to Him. So often we pray for God to send us money to pay a bill, but we haven't sought his Word on how to properly handle what He has already given to us. Your children are watching how YOU manage your money. By example, teach your children that God's methods for providing are supreme, and way beyond anything imaginable. He owns it all, and longs for us to seek His guidance. "Everything in the heavens and earth is yours Oh Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as being in control of everything." I Chronicles 29:11
2. Teach Your Children
Conduct an age appropriate children or teen Bible study on finances with your children. As they examine God's word they will be amazed at how practical He is. Many resources offer this information in a story format so young kids learn how to apply the teachings to everyday life. Our children are bombarded with materialism, and they need to understand that this is the world's way of filling an empty hole in the heart. It's our job to teach them this creates a bigger hole!!For teens and older kids use a resource that explains practical issues such as how to open checking/saving accounts, how to go on a job interview, etc. Helping them to plan for the purchase of a car or an item they crave places motivation and real life into the teaching. "Steady plodding brings prosperity, hasty speculation brings poverty" Proverbs 21:5
3. Practical Application
The Budget People often view budgeting as restrictive. In reality it's the opposite. A budget helps you to comprehend where the money is going and what's needed to make ends meet. Recognizing the most common budget busters and how to prepare for them is often the best way to avoid overspending. If this seems overwhelming, ask your church for the name of a knowledgeable person who can provide one-on-one counsel. There are many people with expertise in this area that would be happy to assist. A caution here: what annoys most budget counselors is someone who expects them to provide a "quick fix" to all your financial problems. It takes time and staying steady to the course to see results. Making a commitment to follow through on your plan is the key to success. "A wise man saves for the future a foolish man spends whatever he gets" Proverbs 21:20
4. Partnership
Have your child participate. We tend to appreciate the things we sacrificed or contributed to having. Starting early, instruct your children that they are expected to save toward an education. Unfortunately, this is the opposite of what they will hear at school. In the USA we have come to believe that it's our "right" to acquire an education. I personally believe an education is a privilege, and one that we should be thankful for and willing to sacrifice to obtain. A child should also save a portion of his or her allowance, birthday money, Christmas money, etc. as this helps them to understand and feel proud of the contribution they have made to their future."From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him." Proverbs 12:14
5. The Right Education
Many people spend thousands of dollars on the wrong education, and end up in a job that they hate. As early as 13 yrs. old help your child look into studies and programs that help him or her understand their giftedness. "Youth often choose an occupation out of ignorance or choose based on the current trends and values of society." (Finding the Career That Fits You, Ellis/ Burkett.) When asked what career a teen desires they frequently say, "I want to make a lot of money." However, if a child is unfocused they are more likely to flunk out of school, constantly change majors, and waste money on an education that was the wrong choice for them. Choose a career guidance program that gives insights into personality, vocational interests, abilities, priorities, and spiritual giftedness. Career Direct through Crown Financial Ministries is an excellent resource. www.crown.org "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
6. Financial Assistance for Education
Begin to research creative ways to send your child to college without going into debt. Financial aid in the form of scholarships, and grants are available in many cases. Most states have funds available to students.Qualifying for assistance is often a function of the student's academic performance in high school. Thus, instilling a solid work and study ethic in your child can pay financial dividends when it comes time to apply for financial help.Creativity and diligence can pay off when seeking financial aid. Don't overlook the possibility that your employer may offer scholarships. By the same token, many employers offer assistance to students who work for them.Your church may also have a scholarship program. Attending a community college or junior (2 year) college can be a lower cost alternative, and most of the time credits are transferable to a four year school. A trade school may be a wise choice if a career assessment suggests it. And your state's four year school may offer quality educate at a lesser cost. Again, grades are important as competition for placement in such schools can be intense. Remember, the goal should not be to have a diploma on the wall, but rather good training for a career that will provide financially. And a job that brings personal fulfillment.Most schools also offer on campus employment or a data bank that will assist students in finding off campus employment both during the school year and in summer. Don't forget co-op programs that may be offered at many schools. This gives a student the opportunity to gain practical work experience in their field of choice and earn money and academic credit.Don't forget to pray like it depends on God
With some planning, persistence, and hard work, a quality education without the burden of debt can be attainable.
I wish I could say this story is rare, but unfortunately it isn't. I've met numerous men and women who have the mistaken belief that leniency, or codependency, is an act of love. And the results are often as devastating.
When we don't allow a person to suffer the consequences of sinful or poor choices the destruction continues. Co-dependency is rampant because it feels like compassion, but there lies the myth. Allowing someone to suffer a painful consequence for a poor choice is often the most loving thing we can do. Do you doubt that? Did God allow Adam and Eve, Moses, King David, and Jonah to experience a painful consequence when they made a poor choice? He did, and love was His motive.
Pat Springle in his book, Twelve Step Program for Overcoming Codependency shares this definition, "A compulsion to control and rescue people by fixing their problems. It occurs when a person's God-given needs for love and security have been blocked in a relationship with a dysfunctional person, resulting in a lack of objectivity, a warped sense of responsibility, being controlled and controlling others."
I'm an expert on this topic. Since childhood I've had a people-pleasing, warped sense of responsibility. Fortunately, I've learned how to recognize and tackle the problem.
Some classic tendencies of a rescuer (or enabler) are that they:
- Feel guilty saying no.
- Sense dread, fear, or anger if not in control of a situation.
- Fear what others think of them.
- Desire to solve other's problems and make excuses for terrible behavior.
- Fear retaliation or removal of love if non-compliant.
- Allow people to speak to them in a disrespectful manner.
- Attempt to control others.
The good news is there is hope. God is more than willing to help you, as He did me, to confront and overcome this obstacle.

Washington State's new law makes it legal for adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, but some speculate the federal government will prosecute those who use marijuana on federal land because federal law prohibits marijuana use. NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports.
Washington and Colorado say you can legally smoke marijuana for fun now, but here's the catch: You can't legally buy it.
Voters in those states passed initiatives last month to legalize recreational use of marijuana. As of last Thursday, it's legal under Washington law for anyone 21 and over to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, 16 ounces of "solid marijuana-infused product" (in other words, a pound of pot brownies) or 72 ounces of "marijuana-infused liquid."
In Colorado, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Amendment 64 to the state Constitution on Monday, legalizing not only recreational use but also home growing, unlike in Washington.
Entrepreneurs are already planning stores to get more buck for the bhang.
PhotoBlog: Pot smokers gather under Seattle's Space Needle to celebrate
"Part of the mission of our company is to transform marijuana from a back-alley drug being sold by criminals into a premium product being enjoyed by responsible adults," said Jamen Shively, chief executive of Diego Pellicer Inc., a new company that hopes to open a chain of stores in Washington and Colorado as soon as the legal issues are cleared up.
The company is named for Shively's great-grandfather, who grew hemp in the Philippines. It eventually became the biggest hemp supplier in the world around the turn of the 20th century. ("It's a family business," said Alan Valdes, a veteran securities trader who recently joined the company as chairman.)
"We're creating the category of premium marijuana," said Shively, who worked as a corporate strategy manager for Microsoft Corp. from 2003 to 2009 before leaving for a specialty food startup. "If you are producing or intending to produce premium-grade product that's in line with our ethos, we're interested in talking to you."
Americans to feds: Keep your hands off our pot
But Diego Pellicer and its customers may be in for a long wait.
The federal government still insists that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance and that buying and selling it for any purpose remains a federal crime. Federal authorities officially even frown on the pot that patients get at medical marijuana dispensaries, although their policy is to look the other way in those cases.
For recreational users, well, "you're a felon," said Mark A.R. Kleiman, editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. "Period. End of paragraph."
And so is your retailer.
"Regardless of any changes in state law ... growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remains illegal under federal law," said Jenny Durkan, the U.S. attorney in Seattle. She said the Justice Department is reviewing its options in Washington and Colorado.
Buzzkill: Feds fire warning shot over pot legalization
Shively said that under no circumstances would his company violate federal law.
"Let's suppose tomorrow that Washington state issued licenses and said, 'Go ahead, guys, have at it.' We would say to the state of Washington respectfully, 'Thanks, but no thanks, because we haven't heard from the federal government.'"
Until then, Diego Pellicer is rounding up funding and private shareholders to be ready if and when the Justice Department changes course.
"I think it's going to be hard for the Obama administration to slap this down," Valdes said. "Washington is a liberal Democratic state that helped (President Barack Obama) get elected. The people voted for him — it would be a slap in the face."
Like Amsterdam: Washington bar owner lets patrons get stoned
Dan Satterberg, the prosecuting attorney in King County, Wash., which is home to a thriving marijuana scene in and around Seattle, thinks the Justice Department will try anyway.
The Washington and Colorado laws require state agencies to facilitate something the federal government considers an illegal act — the sale and distribution of marijuana. That raises an important states' rights question that only the courts can sort out, he said.
Satterberg told NBC station KING of Seattle that he expects the states and the Justice Department to wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court within the next couple of years to argue the issue.
KING: Clearing up the new marijuana law: What's legal?
Overlooked in the immediate reaction to passage of the initiatives, both pro and con, is an important public health question, said Kleiman, who is a professor of public policy at the University of California-Los Angeles and co-author of "Drugs and Drug Policy: What Everyone Needs to Know."
It's not the question you might expect — how much does legalization increase marijuana use? — but "how much does legalization increase abuse?" he told NBC News.
Assuming marijuana use follows the pattern of alcohol use, most of the marijuana consumed in the U.S. is used by the 20 percent minority of people who abuse it, he said. Most pot users use it now for light recreational purposes, but if it's legal, how big will that 20 percent grow?
"Nobody knows," he said.
Questions like that are why it might, in fact, be wise for the federal government to step back and let Washington and Colorado serve as laboratories, so policy makers can "find out what happens."
Watch US News videos on NBCNews.com
If it does, Shively and Valdes will be ready.
"We are building our entire business on the premise it will be sufficiently legal in the next few months or a year," Shively said — a business that will include merchandising beyond simple sales of premium pot.
"Be looking out for really beautiful vaporizing products," he said. "That will be really hot."

About a week ago I finally added those new extra exercises I've been promising on the webpage (almost 150 new exercises) to my differential equations book. These are now with solutions. I did not want to add solutions to existing exercises. I still feel that it's better to not have solutions. But I guess having some exercises with solutions does make the students feel better. Plus it seems this was an argument against using my book in at least department (not enough exercises and no exercises with solutions). So there. Some of the new exercises are interesting, many are just simple plug and play exercises to get students going. I've added all of them as exercises numbered 101 and above so that I would not change existing numbers. I suppose the "even/odd" thing is the common theme, but this has the added advantage that I can have fewer exercises without solutions.
As for the real analysis book. After having taught with Rosenlicht at UCSD (because my book doesn't have metric spaces), I decided I will use my book at Madison this coming fall. This requires that I write up some metric space stuff. So I will be adding a Chapter 7 to the book. It will probably not be completely polished by the fall, so I might keep it separate even for the fall and only add it once all the bugs are caught after teaching with it. The plan is to do first everything on the real line and then do metric spaces. I found that metric space stuff was a bit too abstract for the students if I jumped right in. It might be better to do first sequences and continuity with real numbers only. I will skip some other material such as series though, and cover other material more lightly, due to time constraints. As for other news on the book: It is now (in slightly modified form) the standard book at University of Pittsburg.

FAU assistant coach says he saw Carl Pelini use drugs
- Carl Pelini and Carl Rekstis resigned Wednesday from Florida Atlantic
- An assistant coach said he saw Pelini and Rekstis use marijuana and cocaine
- Matt Edwards%27 affidavit was released to The Associated Press by the university
Florida Atlantic assistant coach Matt Edwards told the school he saw former head coach Carl Pelini using marijuana, and that he also witnessed him using cocaine in the past year.
USA TODAY Sports obtained a copy of two sworn affidavits, from Edwards and Allison Stewart, which were key to the investigation that led to Pelini's resignation this week. Edwards remains on the Owls' coaching staff, working with the defensive line and special teams.
Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis resigned Wednesday after athletic director Patrick Chun confronted them with information that he said was introduced by two informants. Chun also said both Pelini and Rekstis acknowledged drug use.
Edwards said in his affidavit:
• On October 19, 2013, I personally observed Carl Pelini smoking marijuana in Key West, Florida.
• Within the last 12 months I have personally witnessed Carl Pelini using both marijuana and cocaine.
• Within the last 12 months I have personally witnessed Pete Rekstis using both marijuana and cocaine.
Stewart also claimed that she saw Pelini smoke marijuana in Key West and, a day later, got a text from Pelini "admitting that he uses drugs on occasion."
The affidavits were notarized and state that they were provided at the request of Chun "to assist him with an investigation."
"I apologize for exercising poor judgment," Pelini said in a statement distributed by the school after his resignation. "My greatest concerns at this time are for my family, the dedicated FAU players and my staff. I am confident that Pat Chun and the University administration will continue to move the program forward."
Florida Atlantic was 2-6 to start to the 2013 season following a 3-9 finish in 2012, Pelini's first year at the school. The Owls (1-4 Conference USA) are coming off a 45-10 loss to Auburn and are hosting Tulane on Saturday.

It doesn't seem to matter how nice a restoration might be when the car changes hands, there's always going to be something the new owner would like to improve on. In the case of John Barkley's recently acquired '66 SS396 Chevelle, the exhaust system was the first thing he wanted to attend to. The previous owner went to a lot of trouble and expense to build the car properly, but at the tail end of the project he knew he was going to have to sell it. Instead of installing a complete exhaust system he took the low-buck route and slapped on a set of header mufflers. For a car that's going to spend most of its time on a dragstrip, header mufflers are an OK solution, but for a street-driven automobile the idea stinks. The first bad smell is that of deadly carbon monoxide fumes drawn into the passenger compartment; the symptoms of exposure to carbon monoxide poisoning range from burning eyes and headaches to death caused by asphyxiation. Next on the list of discomforts created by an abbreviated exhaust system is fatigue, which can be brought on by the constant drone of harsh sounds being transmitted into the passenger compartment. In no time at all, the soundwaves pounding into the car's floor translate into a subconscious reason to dread driving the car.
The solution: Barkley chose to keep his Chevelle's mechanical details as clean and functional as possible was to forsake a typical muffler shop installation and opt for Flowmaster's American Thunder kit. Manufactured in Santa Rosa, California, Flowmaster's DIY kit offers 21/2-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel instead of pinched, constricted bends formed out of mild steel that's prone to rust, plus it's engineered to extract as much horsepower from your car as possible. While these systems are intended for the DIY guy, quality muffler shops like to use the American Thunder kit because it saves time and presents an OEM look. Since he's installed numerous Flowmaster kits with great results, we looked to Josh Gledhill at The Muffler Man in Placentia, California, to share some installation tips with you guys.

You may or may not be aware, but mortuaries here in the Southwest can charge a family as much as $600 or more to publish an obituary in a local newspaper. You can get a discount through the local print newspaper, but not much. The difference is the mortuary markup. So along comes an obituary service in Utah that has an online obituary publishing website that charges a flat $30 per obituary. I talked to the one of the principals, who I had known from Arizona, at #RootsTech 2014.
The website is called ObitsUtah.com and I understand that both the mortuaries and the local newspapers try everything they can think of to stop people from using this service. They also have another website called ObitsAncestry.com that was created to assist FamilySearch in the collection of obituaries. This is a free website and is described as follows:
ObitsAncestry.com was created to assist FamilySearch in the collection of obituaries, both past and present. All obituaries submitted to ObitsAncestry.com will be indexed and linked by familysearch.org for family history and genealogical purposes.This particular service is supported by a request for donations.
ObitsAncestry.com is special. It's a place where individuals and families can add obituaries of their deceased family members and loved ones free of charge. Obituaries are available online for viewing at anytime.
There is no paid advertising on our website. ObitsAncestry.com is intended to be a quiet, reverent place where people can view and read obituaries without distraction, unencumbered by banner ads and other types of pesky advertising.
Features include:
- Obituaries are available on-demand in the searchable archives indefinitely.
- Obituaries can include a life story and a photo or slideshow with up to 4 pictures.
- A newspaper style printout is available for a keepsake.
- A memory book is included for family and friends to share online memories.
- Obituaries are indexed and linked by familysearch.org for family history and genealogical purposes

Turn your thoughts away from these dreary February days and think ahead to the hot and hazy days of summer.
Turn your thoughts away from these dreary February days and think ahead to the hot and hazy days of summer.
Not this summer, but summer 2016. By then, if all goes well, the Blue Mountain Ski Area and Resort will also be home to a massive water park called Summit Splash — wave pool, water slides and a "lazy river" feature where you'll drift along like old Huck Finn on the Mississippi.
Groundbreaking on the roughly $30 million project is scheduled for April 1, said Matthias Fenstermacher, vice president of Serfass Construction in Allentown and project executive for the long-planned park.
"A very cool thing," Fenstermacher said, speaking specifically of the panoramic views that visitors will enjoy from the wave pool, but more broadly of the project itself, which will be built in phases and ultimately cover about 60 acres of the Carbon County resort.
Serfass was awarded the construction contract earlier this month. The project, however, which will create about 100 full-time and 400 part-time jobs, has been discussed for years.
"I started here about five years ago, and one of the first things I was hearing from customers during the winter months was, 'Why don't you have a hotel here?'" Blue Mountain President Barbara Green said. "So we did a feasibility study for a hotel, and they said it's a no-go without a summer activity."
Green reviewed all the warm-weather activities offered at similar resorts — zip lines, mountain biking — and concluded none would create enough business to sustain a hotel.
But a water park? Camelback Ski Resort in Tannersville had hit a home run with Camelbeach, touted as the largest water park in Pennsylvania.
A park at Blue Mountain could draw up to 3,000 visitors a day, studies estimated.
"It's a good operational fit," Green said. "Between 3 and 5 percent of people will ski or snowboard and about 85 percent will go to a water park. To me it's a natural fit with a ski area. And Camelback has proven it can be done and done well."
Blue Mountain already offers such non-skiing attractions as disc golf and mountain biking. It also hosts weddings and other events, including a blues festival.
Green said the addition of the water park should be more than enough to fill the planned 110-room hotel.
Blue Mountain is hardly the only resort looking to expand beyond the cold months, and the reason touches on one of the hot topics of the day — climate change.
In December, The New York Times reported that fears of climate change were prompting many ski areas to convert into four-season destinations, adding spas, pools and other attractions.
The newspaper cited one report that said more than half of the Northeast's 103 ski resorts would not be able to sustain a 100-day ski season by 2039 because of warming.
Green, however, said the Blue Mountain project had nothing to do with climate change.
"What entered my calculus is that we would service 350,000 to 400,000 visitors [during the ski season] and for nine months lay dormant," she said. "It doesn't make financial sense to have all this property and not do anything with it."

Mopar Has Big Things Planned for SEMA
While the big international autoshows usually get the future model concept cars, SEMA is the place where manufacturers roll out the restyled and hot rodded concepts that really speak to us. The Pentastar party has some big plans for the 2010 show that's coming up next week that we can't wait to check out.
The word is that The Mopar Underground group and the Mopar design team worked together to create 35 (!) customized Chryslers, Dodges, Fiats, Jeeps, and Ram Trucks to totally pack their 15,300-sq ft space. That's quite an ambitious rollout and the expansive display should be a show stopper. Some are bound to be a little more appealing to rodders than others, but we're genuinely interested to see everything Mopar has in the works to bring them back into the black financially and back into more Americans driveways.
"With five exhibits, the Mopar brand will have a major presence at SEMA," said Pietro Gorlier, President and Chief Executive Officer - Mopar, Chrysler Group's service, parts and customer-care brand. "Mopar will showcase cutting-edge technology, innovative accessories, authentic parts, and new customer-care initiatives. And our Moparized vehicles will be a must-see."
So what can you expect to see? We cherry picked our five favorites to show you in advance.
2011 RedLine Dodge Charger
The diehard enthusiasts at Mopar Underground wasted no time in taking the not-yet-in-market '11 Dodge Charger under their wing. "We let the designers of the production car and their friends at Mopar rip," said Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Dodge Car Brand and Senior Vice President of Product Design. "I wanted them to show us what they would do with this vehicle if it were their own dream car."
The RedLine Charger gets lower to the ground with a tuned suspension that drops it one inch. Under a unique aluminum hood the 5.7-liter HEMI sports Mopar Performance parts, including headers, exhaust system, and a cold-air intake to boost horsepower and torque. A Mopar strut tower brace stiffens up the front of the chassis for the better handling and driveability needed to take advantage of the additional horsepower.
The blacked-out feel is accomplished with a black roof, front lower and rear-end treatment and continues with carbon fiber mirror caps. The 22-inch staggered-width Super Alloy wheels, with Pirelli tires wrapped around (265/35/22 front, 295/30/22 rear), follow the blacked-out theme as do the unique carbon fiber lower air dam/splitter and rear spoiler, created by the Mopar Underground team specifically for the RedLine Charger. Headlamps and tail lamps also get the blacked-out treatment.
Recalling Dodge Charger's legendary heritage is a side scoop reminiscent of the scoop on the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. The black side scoop is emblazoned with a red R/T logo, offering a nice tie-in to the RedLine Red paint employed on the RedLine Charger.
A trip inside the red-and-black interior reveals a driver-oriented theme, with custom RedLine all-aluminum driver and console bezels. The interior is highlighted with satin and bright chromed bezels that accent the refined details. Mopar Katzkin performance seats trimmed in Radar Red Nappa leather with bright red stitching offer another striking interior enhancement. A unique SRT(r) steering wheel featuring prototype paddle shift controls completes the interior.
2011 392ci SRT-8 Challenger
Stylistically, the Challenger will mostly retain the good looks we all know and love- with only minor revisions like a revised chin spoiler, revised gauge faces, and a three-spoke steering wheel- but as we blogged about a few weeks back, there's going to be much more muscle available under the hood of the '11 Challenger.
The merger of Chrysler and Fiat prompted many to worry over the fate of Mopar's muscle portfolio- but things seem to only be on the rise. The Challenger R/T with the 5.7-liter Hemi remains at 379 hp and 3.6-liter V-6 goes from 250 hp to 305 hp, but the big news is the SRT-8 will get some historic numbers on the engine badge. They'll likely call it a 6.4 liter, but to rodders out there it'll be a 392 Hemi- just like the renowned FirePower second-gen Hemi.
Power on the production 392 is slated to com in at 475, but in crate form the 392ci Mopar Performance crate engine packs 525hp- and we've seen some seriously impressive power numbers above and beyond that pulled from those engines with little effort. That just gets us excited about the potential in the next SRT-8 Challenger, and gives us hope for other Mopar Muscle since the 392 may proliferate across the SRT8 family.
2011 Challenger Drag Pak
The previous editions of the Challenger Drag Pak were good, packing the 6.1 Hemi in a Stock Eliminator ready 1/4 mile car that weighed in at 1,000 lbs less than the street version (3,200lb). The new version is great.
Rather than dip into their crate engine line and snatch up the obvious 392ci, the Dodge boys decided to use up those leftover Viper engines, orphaned after the announced (potentially temporary) demise of the famed super muscle car and drop them into the new Challenger Drag Pak cars. That's right, it's 512ci and 600hp/560lb-ft of torque for the lucky few racers (70 to be exact) that manage to get their hands on one.
However, there is an old saying; "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" The cost of going very quickly in the 1/4 mile in a 2011 Drag Pak Challenger has gone up accordingly; $85,512. That wouldn't be so shocking, except for the fact that the previous 6.1 Hemi cars were priced at a bargain basement $39,999. That's over double the price.
For the money, the Drag Pak includes;
Identification plate with unique serial number sequence
Primed and painted body, color options available
512 cid V-10 engine
Unique engine calibration
2-speed automatic transmission with shift assembly and built-in roll control
Special body-in-white modified for drag racing
No windshield wiper assembly
No HVAC system (includes block off plates)
No rear seats
No power-steering system
No underbody heat shields
Complete fuel cell assembly
Race headers with collectors
Modified tunnel for transmission clearance and one-piece drive shaft
Raised floor above differential for solid-axle conversion clearance
Polycarbonate door windows
Smart-glass door window system
Solid engine mounts
Mopar solid rear axle
Lightweight seats to accommodate 6-point harness
Special modified K-member with drop-out crossmember
Lightweight drag-race only front brake assembly
Manual rack-and-pinion steering
Front chin spoiler
Lightweight cooling module with electric fan
Lightweight instrument panel assembly
Special cable-operated decklid release
Special cable-operated throttle pedal and linkage
Race-style wheels and tires
The optional full Competition Package with an eight-point roll cage, six-point safety harness and a mesh window net adds $7,950 to the price, and if you want the Mopar Body Logo Wrap it'll be another $950. Don't care for the body-in-white look? A select few colors are available, but getting them will add $6,800. It gets pricey quick.
Mopar '10 Challenger
There likely aren't any of the 500 limited edition Mopar '10 Challengers left for purchase, but we expect to see one at SEMA as the perfect way to show off Mopar goodies.
The Mopar '10 Dodge Challenger R/T includes a Mopar Cold Air Intake System that pills air from the hood scoop through a new Mopar hood venting system. Handling is improved by the addition of Mopar's front and rear strut tower braces. Add in 20-inch black forged wheels and it's a sharp looking package.
The full '10 Mopar package includes;
Vented T/A Style Hood with Graphic
20-inch Forged Wheels with Gloss Black Finish
Mopar Logo Fuel Door and Fascia Badge
Black Chrome Grille Surround
Body Stripe Graphics
Rear Quarter Glass Window Graphic
Black Chrome Hood Pins
Mopar '10 Logo Car Cover
Katzkin Leather Seating with matching highlight stitching and embroidered Mopar '10 logo
Custom Leather Steering Wheel with unique shape, matching highlight stitching and Mopar logo
Mopar Shift Handles (T-handle for automatic, Pistol grip for manual)
Serialized Dash Plaque with vehicle name
Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces (including billet caps for front shocks)
Cold Air Intake System with sock
Under hood venting and water management system for T/A hood
2010 Fiat 500 (European version)
This little guy is an extreme version of the popular European version of the Fiat 500, which has won 60 international awards, including the 2008 European Car of the Year and the 2009 World Car Design of the Year.
Do you care? We think so. After all, commuter cars are the lifeblood of a car company, so the better they are, the more money a company ahs to play with hero cars like the Challenger.
The concept car features a number of unique parts created by the Mopar Underground team, including a front airdam/lip, lower sill, spoiler, rear valance and brake ducts. The 2010 Fiat 500 features a lower ride height on 18-inch Alcoa wheels and flared wheel arches reminiscent of the Fiat 500 models that raced in Europe back in the day.
We do like the way the Fiat sits atop its Pirelli tires with a mean, wheels-out-and-down stance that is accentuated by a Dark Thunderbolt Gray exterior. The black roof, black hood, headlamp and fascia graphics tie the headlamps together. The chin spoiler of the 500 hooks up with a flare that surrounds the front wheel. A lower side sill, also in black, adorns the sides. Not bad looking for a tiny car.
The interior is driver-focused, with a red seat and red door insert on the driver's side, with piano-black accents on the instrument panel. The remainder of the interior is outfitted in a subdued black.
Mopar bolt-ons include a Mopar custom exhaust system that provides horsepower and torque gains and a Mopar strut tower brace that reduces body flex in the front end and improves drivability and handling.
Two additional Fiat 500 vehicles will be on display in the Mopar Alley, outfitted with a full complement of Mopar parts and accessories. The all-new Fiat 500 will be available for ordering in the U.S. later this year in the Sport, Pop, and Lounge models, followed by the all-new Fiat 500C (cabrio) in the spring of 2011.

How to Put the Gee in GT!
Mustang lover makes another pony pristine
First unveiled on April 17, 1964 (though actually considered a 1965 model), the Ford Mustang drew rave reviews. So much so, FoMoCo reportedly sold several thousand in the first 90 days following its introduction. At the time, Lee Iacocca served as Ford's Marketing Director, and was a strong proponent of this new model. In its earliest incarnations, the Mustang was actually a re-skinned Falcon, and utilized a great deal of the former econo-box's platform. Launched with a base price of $2,360.00, these hot, new, "gotta-have" two-doors were manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan, San Jose, California, and Metuchen, New Jersey.
As with every pristine performance car, this one has a story. During the time he owned the concourse-perfect '66, Mike actually got burned out on "the whole concourse thing," as that type of restoration takes an amazing amount of meticulous upkeep. He happened to be in the Northern California town of Pleasanton one day, and heard a loud car going by. As fate would have it, that car was a really rough 1965 Mustang (A-Code) GT 350 that had taken up temporary residence on a consignment lot in nearby Dublin. Fully realizing its potential, Weldon tracked it down, sold his concourse '66 and bought this GT. That was back in 1996, and he's been massaging it to the condition shown here ever since.
Weldon told us, "I've owned this car longer than any other. It's a real eye-catcher, it's lots of fun, and my wife Cindy likes it too much to let me sell it." He went on to say, "Actually, I think Cindy likes it because it keeps me in the garage, so she knows where I am!" In his spare time, Mike enjoys being a member of the Diablo Valley Mustang Association, and since joining in 1992, he's held every officer's position in the club. Boasting 144 members, we're told it's the largest car club in Northern California, conducting organized tours for members, attending wine tastings, spearheading dyno days, and promoting annual charity events. Mike calls this car, "A keeper, which also happens to be a continuous project." As such, it's the first car he's owned that's in constant change. Weldon said, "I've got a cabinet full of parts ready to be changed in the near future."
At the time he took ownership, Mike was told that the engine had 8,000 miles on it. Knowing the instrument cluster had been swapped out at some time, he disassembled the engine, and discovered the mileage claim was likely to be true. However, the cylinders were bored .030, which brought the block out to 292 cubic inches. A new set of TRW forged, flat-top pistons were hung on stock rods while the bottom end was being freshened up. Maier Racing supplied a six-quart oil pan, along with a special grind, solid-lifter camshaft. The rest of the valvetrain is comprised of an Edelbrock gear drive, ported and polished FoMoCo cylinder heads, and Crane roller rockers. A set of nickel-plated, Tri-Y headers send all the spent gasses rearward through Flowmaster mufflers, and an exhaust system fabricated by West Coast Muffler, in Concord, California. To keep things interesting, the folks at Paxton figured this would be an eye-catching candidate to show off one of its blow-through, centrifugal superchargers for carbureted applications. As a result, Weldon's wild child was displayed prominently in Paxton's booth at the '03 SEMA Show. Naturally, the benefits from the install are two-fold - more horsepower, and much more "wow factor" when the hood comes up. This one features Paxton's fully polished option, along with mounting provisions to locate the supercharger on the driver's side (though available in passenger's or driver's side mounts). The powerful Paxton punch works in unison with a Demon Carburetor from Barry Grant, and bolts to an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake. The interesting combination receives its spark from a complete MSD 6AL system, including distributor, and wires.
Keeping with the GT's road racing heritage, this one's set up to storm the corners when Mike depresses the Centerforce clutch and drops the Ford Racing T-5 transmission down a gear or two. Edelbrock I.A.S. shocks do a great job controlling the suspension travel, as a beefy 1-1/4-inch front stabilizer bar and shortened front coils help the tires grip. Subframe connectors and a four-point roll cage also stiffen the car up. Discs from Stainless Steel Brakes slow the wheel speed on this pony, which finds satin five-spokes from American Racing, and BFGoodrich Comp T/A tires on all four corners. For those of you who happen to love the look of this monster (and who wouldn't), the front tires are 225/50ZR15s and the rears are 245/50ZR15s. Throughout the transformation from "rough" to "ready," Mike purchased components from Mustang Plus (Stockton, CA), Delta Bay Mustang (Brentwood, CA), and Total Control Performance Parts, among a laundry list of others.
The cockpit offers just a bit of comfort, by way of cloth-covered Flow-Fit seats with stylish red piping that adds contrast and appeal. During their cruises and club functions, both Mike and Cindy are held in place with Simpson safety harnesses, while they eyeball the Northern California landscapes over a custom dash fitted with Auto Meter gauges, an Aiwa 100-watt stereo, and a glove box door featuring the signature of Carroll Shelby "hizzself." That alone demonstrates there's a great deal of respect from one Ford guy to another. Body-wise, this beauty features a full fiberglass nose, along with complementing rear flares, all from Maier Racing. Superior Paint, in Livermore, California, applied the Ditzler "Hot Rod Red" two-stage colorcoat, although Mike prefers to call it "Arrest Me Red!" To add a bit of "car guy" humor, his rear license plate frame reads: I'm Not Speeding . . . I'm Qualifying!" With inspiration from his late father, support from his wife, Cindy, and interest from his sons Cameron and Cole, Mike Weldon prefers to do all the work in his home garage - just like his dad taught him. And with that said, it's easy to see that he knows how to put the "Gee" in GT!
Tale of the TapeBefore putting the shiny red GT through its paces, we queried Mike on what his "driving habits" have been, and how he plans to thrash the car in the future. A while back, Mike made some test laps at Thunder Hill and (then known as) Sears Point. However, he stated that the car was (equipment-wise), about 60 percent of what it is now. He wrung it out pretty well, nonetheless, experiencing one of those "g-force" headaches. Later on, Weldon was selected to participate in parade laps at the same tracks prior to the running of the Northern California Shelby Association's Mini Nats. Having a keen interest in the performance/technical aspects of the car, Mike would jump at the chance to put it on a set of corner scales, in order to achieve its ultimate setup, and then compete in some vintage races. Here's what we found during an independent test session at Fontana:
|Performance Data

Working in Archives #2: advanced preparation
1 comment:
- Mary L. Dudziak said...
Emily, this is such great advice. Consistent with your suggestions about preparation, it is extremely helpful, whenever possible, to speak with someone who has done research in the archive before you go. This will not only help you prepare for the research itself, but also tip you off about whether you need to do anything in advance to simply gain access to the collection.
For example, although a recent essay
suggests that the Kenya National Archives is quite open, when I visited I was asked to present letters of introduction from Kenya citizens. A letter of introduction, especially from someone known to the archivists, is often a good idea. Anything that helps them think of you as a serious person they want to help is a good thing. If you don't know anyone in the country, you might ask a colleague or your Ph.D. advisor to ask a scholar in the country you are traveling to to write such a letter for you.
One thing to consider in advance: what if an archive asks you to pay a registration fee in cash that is much higher than the amount you saw on their website, and they don't provide you with a receipt? Well...you can certainly object and make a fuss. But perhaps they will then say that they are very sorry, but they have already issued their quota of permits, and they are unable to admit you to the archives, or something like that. In other words, both know-before-you-go, and be prepared for just about anything. Once on site, it is usually important to work with the staff, even if the arrangements seem very irregular, if you really need to get the research done.

For the U.S. Men's 2010 World Championships Media Guide, click here.
NOTE: The semifinals and finals of the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship on Oct. 8-10 are scheduled to be shown live from Rome on Universal Sports.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 26, 2010) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team swept Venezuela on Sunday, 25-19, 25-23, 25-19, and assured itself a spot in the second round of the 2010 FIVB World Championship in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The U.S. Men improved to 2-0 in Pool D and will play Argentina (2-0) at noon PT on Monday to determine the pool winner. Argentina defeated Mexico in Sunday's other Pool D match, 3-1 (25-12, 25-19, 17-25, 25-15). Venezuela (0-2) will play Mexico (0-2) on Saturday to determine which team will advance as the pool's third-place team and which will go home.
"Today we have played better than yesterday," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said in an FIVB press release. "The game was more intense. We need to further improve our performance. Raise our quality level and find the right balance.
"I think tomorrow it will be important to be aggressive from the start and make a good percentage of points in the attack. Argentina plays very fast and we are looking forward to meeting them for the top of the pool."
Opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) led the U.S. Men for a second straight day and led all scorers with 16 points (0.67 hitting percentage) on a match-high 11 kills and a match-high five aces. Outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) also had a strong match with 10 points on nine kills (0.57 hitting percentage) and one block.
Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.), playing in his first 2010 World Championship match after being left off the roster on Saturday, finished with nine points on nine kills (0.16 hitting percentage). Priddy was also credited with 10 excellent receptions and no errors on 15 attempts.
"We aim to find the right rhythm in the match to try to seek more points, especially with the service," Priddy said. "We will analyze the mistakes made during the match today and correct them. Argentina has a very strong team of young players and they have excellent tactics."
As a team, the U.S. Men had a hitting percentage of 0.42 (41 kills and 10 errors on 74 attempts). Venezuela's hitting percentage was 0.31 (37 kills and 14 errors on 75 attempts). Team USA out-blocked the South Americans 4-2 and had six aces while Venezuela had two.
Ivan Marquez and Luis Arias each had 10 points for Venezuela.
Among other U.S. players, middle blocker Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) finished with seven points on seven attacks (0.33 hitting percentage). David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) had six points on four kills (0.5 hitting percentage) and two blocks. Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) had two points on one kill and one block and middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) scored one point with an ace.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with 11 excellent receptions and one fault on 15 attempts. Rooney was credited with 11 excellent receptions and one fault on 20 attempts.
Hansen was credited with 19 running sets and no faults on 60 attempts. A running set is defined as a set from a player that puts their hitter against one blocker or none.
U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Rooney and Priddy at outside hitter, Lee and Holt at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Hansen at setter and Lambourne at libero. Outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) and setter Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) played as substitutes.
Rooney helped the U.S. Men to an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout with three successful attacks. Holt and Stanley also scored on kills and Lee scored with a block. Venezuela scored three of its six points on two U.S. serving errors and one hitting error. The United States maintained a two-point lead at 11-9 when it scored three straight points on a Priddy kill, Stanley ace and Venezuela error to increase the lead to 14-9. The teams traded points and the U.S. Men held a 16-11 lead at the second TTO, extending it to 17-11 on a Priddy quick kill after the break. With the U.S. leading 20-14, Venezuela scored twice on a kill and an ace to pull to within four at 20-16. But a Stanley kill stopped the rally and the U.S. reached set point first at 24-18 on a Holt attack. Venezuela scored one more time on a kill, but the set ended with Venezuela's service error.
The U.S. Men jumped out to a 6-2 lead in the second set, including kill from Priddy and Stanley and a Rooney block, along with three Venezuela errors. At the first TTO the U.S. lead was 8-5. The teams traded points until the U.S. lead was 10-7. Venezuela scored four straight points on two kills by Arias, a block from Marquez and a U.S. hitting error to take an 11-10 lead. The teams traded points again until the score was tied 13-13. The U.S. Men scored three straight points on a Rooney quick kill and two straight Stanley aces to lead 16-13 at the second TTO. With the U.S. leading 17-14, Arias scored with a kill and Venezuela tied the score on two straight U.S. hitting errors. Knipe called timeout and successfully iced Venezuela's server who had an error. But Venezuela scored three more straight points on two kills by Arias and a U.S. hitting error to take a 20-18 lead and give the crowd something to cheer about. But the lead was short lived as the U.S. tied the score on a Venezuela hitting error and Lee's block. As the teams traded points, Lee scored with two more kills, but Venezuela took a 23-22 lead on a quick attack by Thomas Ereu. Priddy tied the score with a kill from the back row and Stanley ended the set with a kill and an ace.
Kills from Lee, Priddy and Rooney (two) helped the U.S. Men to a 4-1 lead in the third set. Two quick kills by Holt helped them to a 7-4 lead before Venezuela scored twice on a kill and an ace. But Venezuela's hitting error helped the U.S. Men to an 8-6 lead at the first TTO. The teams traded points until the U.S. lead was 9-8. The U.S. scored twice on a quick attack from Rooney and a Holmes ace. Venezuela responded with a kill, but then committed two straight hitting errors, followed by a Stanley ace that put Team USA ahead 14-9. Marquez got a kill in before the United States scored twice more on attacks by Stanley and Rooney to lead 16-10 at the second TTO. Venezuela never made another major run and the U.S. reached match point at 24-18 on Venezuela's serving error. Venezuela scored once more on Carlos Tejeda's kill before Stanley ended the match with an attack.
