No. 14 Elis Take on Hoyas Saturday at 1

Directions to Georgetown's Multi-Sport Field
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 14 Yale men's lacrosse team (9-2, 3-2 Ivy), coming off a 9-8 win at Bryant on Tuesday night, looks for a fifth straight win while traveling to Georgetown (5-6) for its last non-league game of 2011. Saturday's 1 p.m. game airs live on Mid Atlantic Sports Network (MASN, DirecTV 625) and SNY (625 DirecTV), cable home of the New York Mets.
The Elis and Hoyas played for eight straight seasons between 1984 and 1991 with Yale taking each contest. The Elis, who have outscored Georgetown 121-38, won the first two by a combined 47-5 count but the deficit closed after a few years and the games became more competitive. There has not been a meeting since 1991, an 11-7 Yale win at Washington, D.C.
For the second straight game, Yale overcame an early deficit to register a victory. The Bulldogs made it four straight wins with a 9-8 non-conference win over the Bryant Bulldogs at the Bryant Turf Complex on Tuesday. Gregory Mahony led the Elis with three goals and four points while Brian Douglass had two goals and two assists. Matt Gibson (1-2-3) and Ryan McCarthy (1-1-2) were the other Yale players with multiple-point nights. Brandon Mangan and Jack Flaherty also hit the net for a Bulldog team looking for one more win to reach double digits for a second straight year. Bryant, which upset the Blue 9-7 at New Haven last April in the first ever meeting, got 15 saves from Jameson Love, whose squad had the edge in most of the statistical categories. The home team had more shots (39-32) and ground balls (35-27) and eight fewer turnovers. Those advantages kept Rhode Island's Bulldogs (7-7) in the contest after seeing their 2-0 lead evaporate in the second quarter.
Yale has now won nine of its first 11 games for a second straight season. The last time the Bulldogs had a better (11-0) start was 1990. That squad finished 16-2 and advanced to the national semifinals fueled by the scoring of Jon Reese '90 and the goaltending of Tony Guido '90.
The Hoyas fell to 5-6 on the season after a 6-5 4OT loss to No. 20 Loyola (Md) at home last Sunday. Georgetown's other losses have come against No. 7 Maryland, Harvard, No. 4 Syracuse, No. 6 Duke, and No. 1 Notre Dame, while they have earned wins against Jacksonville, St. Johns, Providence, Navy, and Mount St. Mary's. The Hoyas are led offensively by sophomore Davey Emala (28-6-34), sophomore Travis Comeau (23-5-28), and graduate student Rickey Mirabito (12-20-32). Graduate student Barney Ehrmann (49 GB, 34 CT) and sophomore Chris Nourse (26 GB, 27 CT) lead the defense. Senior Jack Davis (10.1 GAA, .505 SP) has started every game in net for the Hoyas.
The Bulldogs are first in Division I faceoff win percentage (.668) and scoring margin (4.90). Yale is second in caused turnovers (11.30), fourth in defense (7.00), sixth in scoring (11.90), and 13th in man-up offense (.381)… Johnathan Falcone is fifth in the nation in GAA (6.87) and 15th in SP (.556)… Brian Douglass is 14th with 3.40 points per game and 15th with 2.30 goals per game… Cole Yeager ranks fifth in face-off win percentage at .657… Patrick Coleman is eighth in the nation with 2.10 caused turnovers per game, while Michael McCormack ranks fourth with 2.60 per game.
Brian Douglass, who has a point in 25 straight games, has 13 goals over his last five contests… Matt Gibson has 9-11-20 over the last five outings… Dylan Levings is ranked 11th in insidelacrosse.com's freshmen rankings… Brian Douglass has a team-high 25 goals and 38 points and is Yale's active career goals leader with 72… Matt Gibson is second on the active career goals list with 60… Deron Dempster, who is tops on the team in shooting percentage (.619), has 13 goals and 16 points… Brandon Mangan leads all newcomers with nine goals and 16 points… Dylan Levings (.711) and Cole Yeager (.652) lead the Elis in faceoff percentage.
Matt Gibson, whose dad Jim Gibson played hockey at Cornell, was the 2010 New England Player of the Year and has been picked as the 2011 pre-season choice. He was slowed by an injury earlier this season… Junior M Robby Berner is a member of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 Ivy League Champion men's squash team, which finished second in the nation… Freshman M Jackson Logie's dad, Scott '85, played hockey at Yale… Senior M Alfonso Costa walked on to the Yale basketball team this winter. Last summer, he earned a spot in the Garden Scholars Program, a highly competitive opportunity in which selected interns are paired with Madison Square Garden executives who they work one-on-one with throughout the summer. Costa will study at Oxford next year and hopes to become a United States Senator… Senior A Jack Flaherty, the son of a high school history teacher, spent last summer working an archeological excavation in Athens… Senior D Eric Gresham has a job in Patagonia (South America) with Patagon Journal, a publication that focuses on outdoor activities.
LSM Patrick Coleman, a Ridgewood, N.J., native and former Delbarton School standout, is second for Yale's non-faceoff men with 32 ground balls. He is also second on the team with 24 caused turnovers. He is a three-year letterman for the Elis.

Johnathan Falcone, Yale's veteran goalie, has been named one of the 10 finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award in men's lacrosse. His character and notable achievements in the community, classroom and competition made him a viable candidate for the award. The finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 20 candidates announced in February. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to determine the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote via the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award website or on the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award Facebook fan page through May 10. Fan votes will be combined with media and coaches votes to determine the winner. Falcone, fifth in Division I with a 6.87 goals against average, owns a .556 save percentage, which is 15th in the nation. He is coming off a 8-save performance in an 9-8 win against Bryant on April 20. The economics major with a 3.84 GPA is just as impressive off the field. Falcone, who spent a summer at the London School of Economics and Political Science, is a member of the Economics Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee. In addition, he was elected as secretary of Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity while being a significant contributor to "Bulldog Buddies," a Yale community outreach program that has students serving as mentors to New Haven Public School children. Lowe's will announce the winner May 28 at the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse semifinals in Baltimore.

Yale's only hopes of a second straight regular-season championship rely on Cornell losing its final pair of Ivy games. The Blue, which shared a league title last year, has won six Ivy League Championships, including the first one handed out in 1956. The others came in 1969, 1988, 89, 90 and 2010. The outright titles were in 1956 and 1989.
Three (Cornell, Penn, Yale) of the seven Ivy League teams were ranked among the USILA top 20 this week.
Ten different Bulldogs have earned recognition from the Ivy League for performances this spring.

Yale is 14th in this week's Nike laxnews.com poll and 18th in the latest USILA rankings. This week's laxnews.com poll ties the best ranking the Elis' have had this season... Laxpower.com's computer rating has Yale No. 19, fourth best among Ivy schools.
Andy Shay's seventh year at the helm of the Yale men's lacrosse program in 2010 was his best. He guided the Bulldogs to a 10-4 season that included a share of the Ivy League title and a spot in the inaugural league tournament. The Bulldogs' 2010 season marked the first post-season appearance since 1992 and the first Ivy championship since 1990. Shay's squad was ranked as high as No. 9 at one point during the campaign. He is 54-51 overall at Yale. Shay, named Yale head coach on June 25, 2003, helped guide the University of Massachusetts to the 2002 and 2003 NCAA quarterfinals as an assistant coach for four years. Prior to joining UMass' staff, Shay was an assistant coach at Delaware, where in 1999 he helped the Blue Hens capture the America East title with a 14-3 record and advance to the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history. Shay began his coaching career as the head coach at Morrisville (N.Y.) Junior College, and he compiled a 20-17 record in three years. Shay is a 1994 graduate of LeMoyne College where he was a four-year starting defenseman and served as team captain for two years. He was an All-Empire League selection as a senior when he led the team to a league title.
Yale is coming off a four-way share of the 2010 Ivy League title with Princeton, Cornell and Brown. The Elis went 10-4 overall and were 4-2 in league play before falling in the semifinal of the 2010 Ivy League Tournament at Ithaca.

I'm getting a lot of great submissions. From what I've seen so far, I like both VIP and CLOUDS in all caps. I also like a more "serious" font (not bubbly if that makes sense.) Clouds in the picture are good. Also I'd like to see some examples of clouds and a wind energy wind mill. They dont necessarily have to be next to each other, just both somewhere in the picture.)
Additional Requirements:

Mackenzie Woolf
Mackenzie Woolf is a retailer of quality dog apparel. The products will be sold online as well as being distributed to a select number of high end outlets. Our products are both stylish, innovative and distinct and as such are clearly identifiable from other more generic products in the marketplace.
Some examples of products that will we sell:
* Collars
* Leads
* Coats
* Harnesses
* Beds
We'll aim to give the accurate feedback as frequently as possible. Please feel free to ask any additional questions or to send us your opinions / suggestions to help shape our ideas for the brand.
We're not aiming to sell regular dog products that you would see in the average pet store. The focus is young professional 'replacement kids' couples and affluent 'lifestyle' couples; dedicated pet owners that are willing to spend the money on high quality products. We're thinking more along the lines of "style and fashion" over traditional cute pet branding.
Mackenzie Woolf is a new company so we are open minded about the new brand. However, as the logo will be being printed on products and will eventually become a fashion logo reconisable in at least the UK and the USA we want to make sure the logo gives off the right image:
* Upmarket, of high quality, expensive, fashionable
* Cheap, tacky, average and cute
Think the equivalent of:
* Burberry (http://www.burberry.com)
* Radley (http://www.radley.co.uk)
* UGG (http://www.uggaustralia.com)
Rather than:
* Pets at Home (http://www.petsathome.com)
Ideally, we would love the logo to include a symbol that will be associated with the brand when separated from the logo, so the symbol by itself can be used on products. An example of this would be the Nike tick which can be used to recognise the brand without the word "Nike".
We like the idea of a kind of simple shape / outline of a Wolf, but again these are just ideas so don't let them limit your creativity!

I'm having my annual pre-Spring home-décor-related despair. I spent all winter holed up in here, not caring what anything looked like because it at least it was warm and (mostly) snow-free. But now it's starting to warm up outside, and every now and then you get a whiff of something that seems Spring-like, and it's making me a little nuts. I'm aching for color in something, a flower or a cloudless sky or the bright red of a fresh wound. And oh, God, I'm looking around this place and realizing that we're swimming in a sea of brown! I realize that statement sounds unnerving fecal, but I'm going with it. Poop!
Dear readers, even though we had to dramatically cull our furniture inventory when we moved, everything we kept was wood or wood-toned. We crammed them all into this much smaller space, and now we've got mismatched wood everywhere, plus our decorative accents are all red or brown or brownish-red, and how did I not notice this before? How did I not run screaming into the night? The curtains are beige! We have an enormous exposed-brick wall! Even our rug is kind of beigey-vomity-brownish. We have a BROWN LEATHER couch. The kitchen cabinets are WOOD. The floor is WOOD. It's like a 1970s wood-paneled den, in here! It's an autumnal forest of horrors! HOW DID I EVER STAND IT?
I announced to Scott this morning that I was painting our crappy Ikea bookcases white, and he was all, can we talk about this? Would that go with the dark-wood dining room table and chairs that are right next to them and the brown everything-else? Then I cried and slammed doors because he doesn't understand how much I hate all this brown, you guys! He doesn't get it! He remarked in jest--in JEST!--that we paint everything white, and had I been dressed I would have hightailed it to Lowe's to buy all the white paint they have. Whitewash it all! It will be like a Scandinavian dream! A marshmallow fantasy! With fuchsia accents!
Why yes, I have completely lost my mind.
A few of you have asked, sheepishly, if I'm looking for advice.
Why yes. Yes, I am.
So much so that I am adding in PICTURES. Behold the brown tones, ye design-savvy, and despair:
I'm sorry it's a little dark in here, but, well, IT'S A LITTLE DARK IN HERE.
And yes, these ARE mismatched Ikea bookcases (the BILLY, of course). These are the ones I'm desperate to paint. I'm not sure if that's possible. I'm not sure if I care.
I don't know why I took this one at an odd angle, but I rather like it. It's almost as if that giant exposed-brick wall is closing in on us. Getting ready to crush our skulls.
Have at it, people. Give me advice. I'll take it all under advisement. And then I'll show you how things turn out.

Five people are in custody this morning, including two males possibly dressed in wigs and mini-skirts, after they tried to take a man's bicycle and messenger bag while on a Blue Line train this morning.
The incident began about 6:15 a.m. when the 50-year-old bicycle messenger was on the train with his bicycle and bag as the group approached him while the train was at about the 400 block of South Clinton Street, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
Members of the group tried to yank the bike away from the man but he resisted, Mirabelli said. Instead, some took the man's messenger bag, Mirabelli said.
After taking the bag, the group ran off the train at the Van Buren and Wacker Drive stop with the bicycle messenger chasing after them, police said.
Someone else had called 911 to report the incident and a police vehicle from the Central Police District was dispatched to the area, Mirabelli said.
The messenger waved down the police officer and pointed out several members of the group to the officer, Mirabelli said. The officer arrested three of them near Van Buren Street and Wacker Drive and put them in handcuffs, Mirabelli said.
The same officer soon managed to find the remaining two members of the group and arrested them at Washington Street and Wabash Avenue, Mirabelli said.
The group included two 19-year-old men, a 20-year-old man, and a 17-year-old boy and girl, according to Mirabelli. Two of the males in the group were wearing women's clothing, said Mirabelli.
Preliminary information indicated that at least two of the males were wearing pink wigs and mini-skirts. Their ages were not immediately available.
Mirabelli credited the 44-year-old Central District officer who is a 17-year-veteran for managing to arrest the group of suspects.
"It was a one-person (police) car, it was great work," Mirabelli said. "These individuals were aggressive and dangerous."

Post subject: cassoulet
Hen House Cassoulet
Cassoulet, in my simple terms, is a vegetable ladened, white bean casserole with really tasty chunks of meat. Recipes abound, in my travels I find it's essentially four or five tons of pork fat (or duck...) strung together with vegetables.
I love baked beans, but prefer a 'non tomato base' white bean dish for a refreshing change.
So I set out to trim the fat, so to speak.
Ingredients (feeds 4):
1/2 pound pork sausage - link style, cut into bite size chunks
one whole chicken - about a 4 pounder
- cut up: legs, breast, wings (remove tips)
- cut out the backbone, keel bone and small rib bones from the breast chunks
- do not remove the skin from any of the chicken
1-1/2 cup white beans; I prefer Great Northern, I think the size works well for texture
1 cup sliced yellow onion or scallion or mixed
1 cup sliced leek, including firm green
1 cup small chop celery
3 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, large chop
2-3 smashed & chopped garlic cloves
seasonings - salt, pepper, delay other seasoning until the dish is more done
Getting There from Here:
soak the beans in a generous amount of cold water 3-4 hours, then
in a heavy pan, brown the sausage - some dark brown coloring is good
remove sausage, pour off excess fat, brown/caramelize the onion
- use additional olive/vegetable oil as needed, salt & pepper lightly
add celery and carrots and continue cooking 15-20 minutes; add water to make a bit of steam
add garlic
drain the beans, add the beans to the pot
add some water - about half the depth of the stuff in the pot, cover, let simmer very gently.
while that is simmering, in a heavy pot get about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil smoking hot - really hot
brown the chicken pieces 3-4 minutes per side
nestle the chicken pieces in the bean/vegetable mix
add water, alternately half white wine / half water, to just cover
continue a gentle simmer for 2-3 hours
CHECK the liquid level as it cooks
- the beans will absorb water; add water to maintain a loose mixture
About an hour into the simmer, add seasoning:
- 3-4 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- cayenne pepper to your own tastes
- re-taste for salt.
The Trick:
Two of them, actually.
(1) pick your sausage well. it needs to have good flavor that will carry through the dish. my first attempt was a mild mannered breakfast link sausage - not recommended. the big long curls of italian style sausage are good; I use sweet, but 'hot' is an option if you like it. since I don't need fifty feet of sausage, I buy a chunk at my butcher. I've tried a number of dried / cured sausages and find they become hard chewy 'what's this?' chunks in the end dish - a 'fresh' sausage is a better approach in my experience.
(2) close your eyes and get the chicken browning oil blazing hot. the theory is to get crispy skin with a bloody red raw interior. do not overload the pot; have a spatter shield / lid at the ready - lacking that this operation will coat everything within three feet with spattered oil / vapor. I prefer to do this in a sauce pan to minimize spatter.
The "I Don't Do Skin Issue"
the chicken skin will "self peel" when the dish is done / during service - but that crispy skin adds a lot of flavor to the dish. I most insistently insist you keep the skin on and crisp it as outlined. if you've got a no skinner, don't tell them - just let the skin slip off as you pull the morsels out of the pot.

Aug. 15, 2005
Lipscomb University's men's basketball team will open the 2005-2006 regular season with a visit to Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., as one of the participants in the Guardians Classic.
The Bisons are scheduled to play Wofford in the first round on Nov. 13. The winner moves on to play the winner of the game between South Dakota State and the host University of Kentucky on Nov. 14.
Sixteen teams from 16 different conferences will play in the tournament with additional university host sites at West Virginia, Iowa and Texas.
The NCAA has awarded the Guardians Classic as special exemption. Only one game counts on a team's 27-game maximum regardless of how many games they play in the Classic.
"Just playing at Rupp will be exciting," said Lipscomb Coach Scott Sanderson. "It will be close enough for our fans to go there. It should be a great experience."
The four regional winners will play Nov. 21 and Nov. 22 in Kansas City.
The Guardians Classic promotes the National Association of Basketball Coaches' Guardians of the Game program, dedicated to recognizing the role coaches play in the lives of student-athletes and their communities.

Fall-back Favourites: Stuffed Capsicum (Peppers)
This is a fantastic way to glam up some leftovers in a tasty capsicum (or what Americans call bell peppers). Whatever meat and veg you have in the fridge will work - chicken and chives, beef and broccoli, lamb and leeks... You name it! Here's a breakdown of the last batch I made:
Bacon grease or coconut oil, for frying
Diced vegetables - I used spring onions, red onion, and tomato.
Meat - I used sliced ham
Eggs - one per capsicum
Capsicum/peppers - one per person
1. Preheat oven to moderate (150 deg C).
2. Slice tops off capsicum, and remove all seeds. Put the tops aside, and sit the capsicum on a tray.
3. In a frying pan over moderate heat, melt oils and add onions. Sauté until cooked through.
4. Add tomatoes and meat. Once they are slightly cooked, add eggs and scramble until all ingredients are cooked.
5. Scoop frying pan mixture into the capsicum, sharing the mixture evenly between the peppers. Replace capsicum tops.
6. Place pan in oven and bake until capsicum is starting to brown. Top with cheese if you like.
Serve carefully, as most capsicum don't like to stand upright and will spill their guts if toppled. If your capsicum is particularly uneven, wrap the base in aluminium foil and create a steady base.
This meal is an absolute favourite of ours - I love the adaptability, and the beau is obsessed with the flavours. In terms of vegetable-based foods, this is second only to cauliflower pizza in my book!

This looks great! Really great!
I wanna try it!

If you cut your peppers lengthwise from the top down they tend to sit better - that is to say they're not as likely to topple over - and you get two usable pepper halves to fill from each pepper.
Your stuffing mix looks absolutely delicious, by the way.

Thanks guys!
I used to do the lengthwise boats, but I found that I would have to under-cook the peppers else, if properly roasted, they would start to flatten and lose the filling.

This is promptly going into my Recipe folders and will be trying out soon - perhaps even tonight. Looks delicious and sounds dead simple to create. Thanks for sharing this!

So what's the scoop on Bacon Grease? Can you just put it in jar and stick it in the fridge and reuse it?
- January 5, 2011 at 3:56 PM
- Jezwyn said...
Hey Josiah!
Bacon grease can absolutely be popped into a glass or ceramic dish/jar, and kept in the fridge until required. You can even leave it out in the open if the fat has been strained to remove any lingering bits of protein. I always keep the animal fat that renders out of my grilled meat, and bacon grease is liquid gold!

Product Details
Inspired by the iconic pinups of the 1950s, the Holly skirt has a pencil silhouette that sits higher on the waist and closer to the body. Crafted in Goldsign's LA-based studio from premium selvedge denim, it's unlike any jean skirt out there (and you'll only find it here). Often dubbed the king of designer jeans, Adriano Goldschmied founded the brand in 2005 as a luxe collection of artisanal denim. From the impeccable fits to the hand-finished washes, each piece is just as special as the wearer.

Director's Corner
26 July 2007
FALC meeting in Rome
One of our most important and challenging goals for the ILC will be to develop government agreements that will underlie a true international governance for the ILC. We are a long way from achieving that goal, and I anticipate that will be done as part of bringing together multiple government commitments to the project. In the absence of having the oversight and guidance that comes with formal governance, the R&D and engineering design phase of the ILC is guided on the technical side by ICFA and its subcommittee, ILC Steering Committee, and on the government side, through the Funding Agencies for Large Colliders (FALC), an informal group of representatives of governments and funding agencies from around the world. The most recent meeting of FALC was held in Rome on 11 July at INFN Headquarters. This was an important meeting for the GDE, because we formally presented our Reference Design Report (RDR) to FALC, as well as our plans for developing an engineering design and report (EDR) over the next three years.
|Roberto Petronzio, President of INFN, chairing FALC meeting
|The properly attired GDE Project Management Troika with GDE Director at FALC
FALC began under the leadership of Professor Ian Halliday from PPARC in the UK, as a means of providing a forum for the funding agencies supporting ILC R&D. This forum would provide an avenue for discussing developments toward an ILC, the needs and commitments of the different agencies, and finally a role in providing guidance and oversight for the ILC design effort. The present chair, Roberto Petronzio, President of INFN in Italy, is taking a broad view of FALC's evolving role toward planning and coordinating the complexities of large international high energy physics projects. To emphasise this broader mandate, FALC has changed its name to Funding Agencies for Large Colliders and is spending efforts to understand the major commitments and time scales for the large-scale HEP projects in different countries. Clearly, all countries and major laboratories have different constraints regarding when they can commit to a new project. These obligations must be taken into account and balanced in creating a realistic strategy for planning and funding new major international projects, like the International Linear Collider.
At the Rome meeting of FALC, I introduced the newly appointed GDE Project Managers (Akira Yamamoto, Nick Walker and Marc Ross). Most importantly, we presented our goals and approach to creating an engineering design. The committee endorsed this approach as outlined by Marc Ross. In my presentation, I emphasised our need to have increased engagement by FALC for the engineering design phase to insure that what we produce is what governments will need if the ILC is to go forward. We also need FALC to provide oversight in our planning and work, in terms of making realistic commitments of resources for the detailed programme we will carry out.
In particular, we propose to carry out the actual work during the EDR phase through a set of work package Memoranda of Understanding. These MOUs will define the tasks, deliverables, responsibilities, resources, milestones and reporting in order to achieve the milestones that will make up our EDR. At the Rome meeting, we agreed to obtain FALC's concurrence, through the FALC Resource Board review of the actual work package MOUs. We welcome this important step toward engaging FALC in the EDR.
I cannot end without commenting on our meeting location. It was especially inspiring to be able to spend two days holding a face-to-face GDE Executive Committee, courtesy of Professor Petronzio, and then to participate in the FALC meeting both at INFN headquarters in Rome. No ordinary office building, Palazzo Lante was built in 1513 and located in a quiet Piazza very near the Pantheon in the heart of Rome; with coffee bars and restaurants nearby that are hard to match anywhere. In the INFN office suite, we admired a wonderful feature in their large meeting room that you could say provided inspiration from up above -- a ceiling worthy of great thoughts and planning!

The journey to create a successful company can be as arduous as scaling a Tibetan mountainside, but well worth the view from the top. Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In passing, this expert mentioned a powerful holy fruit, the Sea Buckthorn berry.
From there McMullin's quest took him to new heights, figuratively and literally, as he journeyed to some of the most remote locations of the Himalayas to find the superior source of Sea Buckthorn that is the foundation for all Sibu products.
In addition to being a successful entrepreneur, Bruce has a thirteen-year history of philanthropic efforts worldwide serving as executive chairman of Choice Humanitarian.

This year's Bucharest International Auto Show (SIAB) is taking place near the International Henri Coanda airport, in Otopeni, from October 5 to 14, 2007. SIAB gathered together all important automotive producers and importers on the Romanian market, being the largest automotive event in Romania and one of the most important exhibits of 2007.
We can see almost 40 carmakers, more than 50 models for the first time, as well as four concepts and design studies. Tiriac Auto will also participate after a six-year absence. Previously, Tiriac Auto organised a similar event independently. It is the Romanian importer of Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover and Mitsubishi.

The Mortadel brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 48 Designs von 30 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We need a webdesign (no coding) for a web application web based that we are developing. The application is about passing data from users' Asterisk systems (we're talking about a telephony system, VoIP) and showing graphs to the same users of their data.
The user will be small business men or technical men.
Please have a look at the following link (just to understand how the actual screenshots are):
Here is the logo that you have to use and the one from which you should create the theme around :
Brand name : Traffic
Please show us some good, modern and innovative design in full web 2.0 style and in "FULL SCREEN FORMAT", must be sleek, modern, fresh, minimal with icons and buttons (modern and technological) and tabs.
The style we are looking for our web app is showed within the following web sites:
At the bottom of evey pages please don't forget to place a logo "powered by webgrapes" with the company logo and co. name. The logo of webgrapes is available on:
PLEASE READ "THE BRIEF" clicking on the orange tab here below showed in order to get the details of the project and what the pages should includes!
Traffic - (please use the following logo only: http://99designs.com/contests/11427…ies/805095 )
We basically need these layouts:
1) home page where we briefly illustrate our product
2) secondary page where we can put things like the "about" page with the features of our product, the contact page, the register page, ecc. (these are the public ones and there should have a "Login" box)
3) a dashboard (after a user has logged in) with the most useful graphs and some numbers where the user has an overview of his system we don't know exactly how many graphs and how many numbers we are going to put there so just show us what you think should be a good layout with something like 6 graphs and 4-5 number values ("The avg ASR is 60%", etc) and a 2-3 written informations eg. Alert "your system is not running", "you reached the limit X", etc. etc.
4) a detail page with more specific graphs and numbers and a form to search data with (with and without a date picker).One of which should be a large table, with inpagination commands. Another should be a simple input text where the user submits a phone number, etc. There can be a lot of combinations of graphs/numbers/data.
5) an user's configuration page with many subpages ("change your data", "change your server data", "define your alert", "buy credit", etc.). As above: we don't know yet how many things we are going to put there: so we need an "open" layout.
The users will be "small business/business" user or a tachnical person.
Please show us some good modern and innovative designs.
Sorry about the repeating but it should be an "open" design as the app is in development and we don't and we can't have precise requirements.
It's a very big plus the openess of the layout to JS/Ajax effects.
We're now using Google Chart as a graph lib, but we are searching for something more powerful and esctecially strong. Please give us an idea. Flash is ok.(what about AmCharts?)
On the bottom of every page (on the right side, or werever you like) must be written "Software Powered by Webgrapes" (for the "webgrapes" word you should use the logo and caracthers that you can see on the following web site http://www.webgrapes.it/logowebgrapes)

Called the Ideas College, the school will provide alternative provision for students aged 14 to 16 who are not achieving in mainstream education. Selected children will be referred by local authorities to apply to the school, which will take 48 students a year.
The application has been submitted to the Department for Education and, if successful, the school will open in London in September 2014.
David Holloway, chief executive of the Ideas Foundation told Campaign that the school would look for "kids that are turned off by the academic curriculum in schools, but will be inspired by a creative syllabus. Some of these students are super creative with new perspectives, valuable to the creative and media comms industries."
The college will then use its supporters and contacts, which include Channel 4 and the BBC, to steer students into advertising and media apprenticeships, universities and jobs.
If this application is successful, the Foundation hopes to open a similar school in Manchester in 2015.
A principal is yet to be appointed, but Holloway, who will be a staff governor at the school, said they wanted someone with "senior teaching experience who can focus primarily on the curriculum".
Robin Wright, the president of Engine Group and founder of the Ideas Foundation, said they have been "overwhelmed" by the support for their proposals from "business people, creatives, teachers, parents and kids themselves".
Last year, the Ideas Foundation won a place on a national programme run by the independent education charity, the New Schools Network (NSN), which provides support for groups applying to set up schools for pupils at risk of being left behind in the school system.
Of the groups given support by the programme, 90% were approved.
Wright said the support from NSN had been "of huge value".
So far, 200 new free schools have opened or been approved to open across the country as part of the Government's Free Schools programme.

"Years ago I made my wife cry when my business plan was 'Be an awesome dude,'" explained Mt. Airy resident and visual artist Chris McDonnell, 32. "Let's just say it's in progress, and I'm hoping it continues. I've been focusing and refocusing my work toward just what I like to do."
Since graduating from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2001, McDonnell has worked on a variety of projects. He tasted a little of the first Internet bubble working at a website that created weekly flash animation cartoons. He lived in Los Angeles for two years working on a TV show called "Tom Goes to the Mayor" on Adult Swim. In the last few years, he's been working on the design and layout for coffee table-style books for Universe, the pop-culture imprint of Rizzoli Publishing. In that role, he has worked on more than 10 different books, including the histories of Wonder Woman, The Joker, The Green Lantern and Universal Studios Horror Monsters.
"My interests growing up probably reflect what I'm doing now, which is a pretty general attack on all aspects of the visual arts and storytelling," said McDonnell. "I always enjoyed drawing and was encouraged to draw. I was fortunate to go to schools growing up where there were good art programs. I went to The Miquon School and that was a hugely formative experience. I would make illustrated books and comics in school and at home. In high school my friends and I would make parody newspapers and magazines." In college Chris and his friends self-published comic books. That comic collective, Meathaus, is still active today. Chris also studied animation.
"Animation is a whole other side to me, but to me it's all related. The big picture is that I'm a storyteller; it's just what I like to do. I feel just as comfortable attempting to work in all these different forms."
One project that meant a lot to Chris, as well as helping launch his relationship with Universe, was "Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi." Chris considers the famed Bakshi a friend and a mentor, ever since they met at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where Ralph was a teacher. Bakshi is an animation director who's famous (or infamous) as an artist and cartoonist whose most famous work was "Fritz the Cat," the first X-rated animated feature film.
"John M. Gibson and I were associates of Ralph," said Chris, "and we said 'There's no book about Ralph, we got to make this book.' He gets a really personal and improvised quality into his feature animated films. One thing he's taught me certainly is that animation has such great potential. He's always saying that animation's potential is as large as any art form; where are the adults making animated features for adults, saying things that adults think about?"
But one of Chris' favorite projects is "Sasquatch's Big Hairy Drawing Book," which was published last fall. "I remember part of my inspiration being any book that I really enjoyed as a child was more than just a book that you 'read.' I was especially inspired by the books that were interactive — 'Where's Waldo?,' 'The Eleventh Hour' mystery book, Mad Libs. These were what I was thinking about when I went to make an interactive activity book."
As exciting and rewarding as his projects sound, the life of a freelance artist is not easy. "A freelance, visual artist has to be a businessperson. You have to be able to market yourself, sell yourself, be smart about the decisions you make. Fortunately for me, my wife and I have supported each other through different times."
In between all of his freelance work, McDonnell also teaches at The University of the Arts in center city. His current course is basically an introduction to computer animation.
Technology is a huge part of the visual artist's toolbox today, but McDonnell likes to start with the basics. "I'm very much a traditional media enthusiast. That's where I always start, and I always tell students you've got to start thumbnailing and sketching and drawing on paper, and you've got to keep a sketchbook, but my entire existence would not be possible without computers."
As for anyone hoping to become a visual artist, McDonnell says the one thing to remember is determination. "You can't wait for someone's permission to do what you love; you have to just do it at every chance you get. If you like to draw monsters, just draw monsters every day. That's what I did growing up, and that's why I did the book ('Sasquatch's') — to draw weird monsters."
He is currently working on two more books, one for Universe about the history of science fiction in conjunction with the SyFy channel, and one for Rizzoli about the history of the Hollywood magazine, "Variety." He's also doing animation shorts for a new comedy show on HBO called "All Things Brody," a semi-documentary show about the comedian Brody Stevens.

Some Apple patents were made public this weekend giving possible hints at the the future of the iPad, include a landscape dock port and "smart-bezel".
The first one shows a second 30-pin dock connector on the left side for landscape docking. I'm sure this will make the keyboard dock and bluetooth keyboards even easier to use with some apps.
The second patent is for something called "Smart Bezel" which isnt really described well but by the pictures it looks like you touch a part of the bezel and and you can assign that part to a particular action.
Neither of these are bold re-designs, but are they features you want to see in a refresh? Oh, and let us know if you think that's a front-facing camera in the smart-bezel illustration after the break, or just the ambient light sensor...

An inverse problem for an initial-boundary value problem is considered. The goal is to determine an unknown portion of the boundary of a region in Rn from measurements of Cauchy data on a known portion of the boundary. The dynamics in the interior of the region are governed by a differential operator of parabolic type. Utilizing a unique continuation result for evolution operators, along with the method of eigenfunction expansions, it is shown that uniqueness holds for a large and physically reasonable class of Cauchy data pairs.

Is Gum Grafting Always Necessary?
I found out I have significant gum recession (I never noticed it as I did not have symptoms and it does not show when I smile) up to 5mm on 4 lower teeth. I was advised I definitely need connective tissue grafting as I have no attached gingiva. I do not have "gum disease" as my pockets are normal.
If I practice extremely meticulous oral hygiene from here on out, is grafting absolutely necessary? Does recession always get worse or as I have read, can it often be self limiting? The price tag for all 4 grafts by the periodontist is $5,000. I am a 49 year old female in good health but my anxiety about this procedure is mounting and I have heard that grafts often donât work or last past a few years.
Thank you.
There are a couple of things that we need to clarify:
1. Periodontal disease does not always present itself with pockets. Sometimes, you have shallow pockets but severe root exposures that go together with severe bone loss around teeth, which is periodontal disease.
2. Soft tissue grafting is mainly recommended for three reasons:
a. Sensitivity: So bad that you cannot touch the area and you cannot clean.
b. Increasing type of recession: Again due to not being able to clean the area.
c. Esthetics: You do not like the way it looks.
3. Soft tissue grafts have been in practice for longtime with very predictable outcome. It all depends on right indication and right surgical technique.

Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company presents Illyria at the Pittsburgh Playhouse Nov. 11-20 with a preview on Nov. 10. The musical, written by Peter Mills and Cara Reichel, is adopted after Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and will be directed by Scott Wise and choreographed by Jeremy Czarniak.
Since its inception in the 1600s, Shakespeare's comedy, Twelfth Night, has inspired works around the world on stage, screen and in song. Perhaps none is as original as Peter Mills' Illyria, which is given its name by the mysterious land shared with Twelfth Night, "a land of fools, where clarity's a rarity and madness rules." A story of love and longing, secrets and antics, Illyria's energetic musical score transcends Shakespeare's play, taking the audience to a place as extraordinary as the mythic land.
Illyria debuted off-Broadway at The Hudson Grill Theater in New York City in 2002 and made its regional premier at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in 2004. Peter Mills received the 2003 Richard Rodgers New Horizons Award from The ASCAP Foundation, and received a 2002 grant from the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation.
Scenic design is by Gianni Downs; costume design is by Michael Montgomery; lighting design is by Andrew David Ostrowski; and sound design is by Steve Shapiro.
Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company will also be performing Shakespeare's Twelfth Night Dec. 9-18. Tossed ashore in a shipwreck, Viola masquerades as a man, becomes a trusted confidante of the Duke and finds herself in the middle of a triangle filled with mistaken identity, secret love and plenty of merriment. Perhaps Shakespeare's most festive comedy, Twelfth Night features debauchery, trickery and general marauding by a colorful crew of miscreants. The play's themes are often referenced in more contemporary works, including the films, Shakespeare in Love and She's the Man, as well as the musical Illyria.
Illyria will run Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range in price from $18 to $20 and can be purchased by calling the Pittsburgh Playhouse box office at 412-392-8000 or online at www.pittsburghplayhouse.com
The "pay what you will performance" will be on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m.

Allergy to Stinging Insects…Can Be Life-Threatening
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: Barbara K. Hecht, PhD
When warmer weather arrives, it is time to think about the return of stinging insects. Over 2 million Americans are allergic to stinging insects. While the severity of these allergic reactions varies greatly, they cause up to 150 deaths each year in the U.S. alone.
Stinging insects belong to the class Hymenoptera and include bees, hornets, yellow jackets, wasps, and fire ants. Fire ants, which inflict a painful sting that belies their small size, are most common in the U.S. in the southeastern states, but they may have been introduced to other geographic areas throughout the country. All of the other stinging insects are found throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Most insect stings do not cause an allergic reaction, but simply result in pain, itching, redness, and swelling at the site of the sting. Cleaning the area and application of ice packs to reduce swelling are often the only treatment needed.
Most people who do have an allergy to stinging insects have mild reactions, such as extension of the area of swelling around the sting. In a more serious reaction, insect sting allergies cause hives and itching all over the body.

The Council approved a plan that includes the rezoning of two adjacent development sites, one owned publicly and the other privately, a zoning text amendment allowing for a Special Hunters Point District to accommodate the plan, and the city's acquisition of Site A from the Port Authority and transfer of the site to a city-controlled non-profit entity that will develop the 37-acre site into more than 5,000 units of affordable housing, shops, a new school and a waterfront park.
After the Council's approval, the mayor's signature on the legislation is the only step needed to turn the proposal into law.
Hunters Point South has generally been embraced by the Western Queens community, which was disappointed by the lack of community input in Queens West. The plan for Hunters Point South was developed alongside the community, and is expected to create thousands of units of housing that will be affordable to middle-income New Yorkers, such as nurses, artists, and city employees.
"We have an affordable housing crisis in our city, and it reaches across all income bands," said Councilman Eric Gioia, who has been a long-time supporter of the plan. "The middle class is being driven to the suburbs, and the working class is being driven into squalor. This project is a big step in the right direction as we both make room for the middle class and jump start further affordable housing in the neighborhood."
The plan also tows to the revived interest in the East River waterfront. The proposed public waterfront park will not only include athletic fields, bike and walking paths, and an esplanade, but docks for boats, including a Water Taxi outpost, and a landing for small boats like kayaks and canoes.
"For my entire lifetime, the waterfront has been cut off from the people of Queens," added Gioia. "Today, we are opening it up with parks, schools, and housing for all New Yorkers.
"With our vote today, we will be creating a vibrant, sustainable and well-designed middle-income community and waterfront park in Hunters Point South on abandoned manufacturing land just minutes from Midtown," said City Council Land Use Committee Chair Melinda Katz.
Though the plan was overwhelmingly approved by the Council and supported by a majority of city and community agencies, a number of groups felt that the plan did not provide a satisfactory amount of low-income housing.
"From the start, the vision for this project failed the fairness standard since it directs public funds to create a project that ignores both the majority of residents and those with the greatest need," said Hannah Weinstock of Queens Community House, one of the leaders of the movement to make low-income housing a part of the plan. "In the midst of a crushing economic crisis with even more of the borough's families falling over the brink, despite modest gains, this plan is a real missed opportunity."
Community Board 2's approval of the Hunters Point South plan came with a recommendation that 1,000 of the developments units be set aside for New Yorkers earning less than 50 percent of the average median income, a recommendation that neither the Department of City Planning nor the City Council incorporated into the final plan.
CB2 Chairman Joseph Conley said that, while he was disappointed with the lack of low-income affordable housing, he still supported the plan.
"This project is about much more than just affordable housing," he said.

The day started off with a shoot-around for the team at 11 a.m. It was a chance for us to work on shooting and review before our game with Harding. After about an hour of shoot-around, some of us decided to stay later for some extra work in order to prepare ourselves for 6:30.
The pregame meal was scheduled for 2:15. This was a chance for all of us on the team as well as coaches to go out to eat, spend some time together, and get some good food in our bodies to fuel ourselves through our game later. Of course, next time we all know not to let all the freshmen ride together; we might have been a few minutes late ;) But in our defense, traffic was bad, but still… After we all gathered at Jason's Deli (it was my first time there, soo good. If you ever go, get the chicken alfredo, I'm just saying!) we left and had some time before we all met up again, but next time we would be in game mode. Naturally, most of us used our time well; we slept. Ha, a short power nap was a good idea for most of us. Just like 15 minutes was relaxing and made sure we weren't sleepy for our game.
At 5:15 it was time for warm ups. We had to be completely dressed and ready, ankle braces, knee pads, ankles taped, uniforms on (first time getting to wear these uniforms. Yea, we were pumped!) Then a meeting in the locker room which began with a short pep talk from Coach Bennett. Then a devotion led by senior Miaca Bowman (before each game one player is picked to lead devotions). It was inspiring and made us all jump up ready to play, and beat Harding. One of the main points in Mimi's devo was how we were picked in preseason polls to finish last. "I don't know if that is exciting to you all, but I know for me it makes me want to get up and do everything it takes in order to prove all those people wrong! To go out there, to win and NOT finish last! After all, we can do so much better than last." Those words really sank in with the team and we were ready to get out there and prove those people wrong.
A huddle in the team room, stretching, and warm-ups seemed to go by quickly because pretty soon, people started filling into the arena and tip off was approaching.With the band, cheerleaders, the announcer and the crowd, there was plenty of support for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons to defeat Harding (ironically, also the Bisons!) Again, I'm from a small, private Christian high school where we were lucky to get 20 people in our tiny gym to cheer for us (and since we didn't have enough students in the entire high school to have a band or cheerleaders, they didn't exist at our school!) .
Although rough at some times, and down by as much as 11, we were able to pull together in order tie the game up with 9 seconds left and put the game into overtime (although it was a huge team effort, Jenna Bartsokas making those last three foul shots was what tied it up.) In overtime, a few minutes passed and then back to being tied, but with some extraordinary play from the team in white, we were able to win 73-69. A great way to start our season, and a pattern we hope to improve on and keep as we travel to Colorado to play Air Force Academy this Friday! A big congratulations to my teammates after our first game and now let's beat Air Force in Colorado Springs Friday.
Jess Reece is a freshman post player for the Lady Bisons. She will be writing a weekly blog on the season.

CHICAGO (AP) — Forget about all that bubble talk. Devyn Marble and Iowa are focused on the Big Ten's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
The Hawkeyes moved one step closer to their goal when Marble scored 19 points in an important 73-59 victory over Northwestern in the first round of the conference tournament on Thursday night.
"I think that whatever a lot of people are thinking, we're just here to win a championship and that's been the goal and the task at hand," Marble said. "And tomorrow's just another chance and opportunity to keep going toward that goal. Today was a stepping stone, we took care of business and now it's on to the next."
Mike Gesell converted a clinching three-point play with 1:41 left and finished with 13 points as the Hawkeyes(21-11) won for the eighth time in 10 games to continue a late-season push for spot in the field on Selection Sunday.
Iowa's third win this season against Northwestern likely won't help its case very much, but a victory over No. 8 Michigan State in the quarterfinals could go a long way to earning an at-large bid.
"I'm not foolish, I hear what everybody's saying about that particular game," Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery said. "To me, I am very comfortable with where our resume is right now. I think we deserve to be in. But, there are so many factors and I respect whatever the committee decides.
"The only thing that we can control is how we play tomorrow. That's how we're going to approach it. It's not something that we even talk about."
Reggie Hearn powered a late Northwestern rally after an awful start, scoring 14 of his 19 points in the second half. He drove inside to trim Iowa's lead to 50-43 with 8:27 left, but Marble and Gesell each hit a big 3-pointer to help the Hawkeyes hold on for their third consecutive victory.
"We came together for a few minutes there and got it to seven," said Alex Marcotullio, who had nine points for the Wildcats. "A couple of mishaps and they increased the lead. It was kind of deflating. It really hurt us."
Melsahn Basabe had 10 points, 12 rebounds and five blocked shots for Iowa, which shot just 37.1 percent but enjoyed a 48-31 advantage on the boards.
Alex Olah scored 12 points for the Wildcats (13-19) and Tre Demps finished with 11.
"Getting in a hole like we did, it felt like we were trying to claw back most of the game," coach Bill Carmody said.
Northwestern dropped its last nine games of the season and 11 of 12 overall, putting Carmody's job in jeopardy after 13 years at the school. The Wildcats lost four players to season-ending injuries, but it was their worst record since they went 8-22 during the 2007-08 season.
"Jim Phillips and I will discuss this in the next couple days and go from there," Carmody said while talking about his athletic director. "We evaluate each year. It's no different from the way we go about our business. We'll get together soon."
Iowa opened the game with a 15-2 run, using its stifling defense to disrupt Northwestern's sets while keeping the Wildcats off the glass with a dominating rebounding effort. The Hawkeyes were working on a shutout before Nikola Cerina wriggled free for a layup with 12:32 left.
Boosted by a strong contingent of fans clad in yellow and black, Iowa kept up the pressure and put together a 14-2 spurt to open a 29-11 lead. Eric May capped the surge with a drive right down the middle of the lane and a big slam with 5:10 remaining.
"I thought tonight our defensive intensity at the start of the game was absolutely critical," McCaffery said. "It really got us going. They didn't score for a while. We got great play from a lot of different people, which is fairly typical of our team."
The Hawkeyes got a lift from the return of Gesell, who also had three assists and a steal. The freshman injured his right foot late last month.
Now they get another shot at Michigan State, which won 62-59 at Iowa on Jan. 10. The game was tied at 56 with 1:04 left, but Keith Appling made four free throws down the stretch to lead the Spartans to the victory.
"I think it's a big game just because it's the next one," Marble said. "But I think, like Eric said, we have come out and had a pretty decent, good season. But giving people reason to be excited about forthcoming games, and all we have to do is go out there and not disappoint."

Julian A. Burruss
A vision for education
Excerpts from Madison Century, a commemorative book by Martha Graham
Condensed from the article in Fall 2007 Madison
The 33-year-old Richmond native, a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, was head of the manual training programs in Richmond and a doctoral candidate at Columbia University.When Julian A. Burruss arrived in the sleepy little town of Harrisonburg in 1908, he envisioned an exceptional institution for higher learning. It was a bold vision, given that this first president of the Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg was surveying empty farmland. This grand enterprise came with a charge issued by the General Assembly of Virginia to produce public school teachers and thereby serve all the people of the commonwealth.
In July President Burruss arrived in Harrisonburg with his bride of less than a year to begin building a school, literally from the ground up. Burruss proved to be a tireless and decisive president with the same enthusiasm for the school that its local backers held. …
Education beyond the books
Julian Burruss was a man who understood the times in which he lived. He also understood what the future would require. In Prospectus, a document he sent to potential students, he wrote, "Teaching is counted a profession, but the idea has too largely prevailed that it differs from other professions in that its qualifications are less and more easily acquired. … the general awakening of the public as to the importance of education on the part of those who would teach, and it may be said that in the not very distant future it will be impossible for any one to teach in the public school without adequate special preparation. …"
How right he was. At the turn of the century, teaching was a profession practiced haphazardly, yet Burruss knew teaching was too important to remain so. In crafting the curriculum, he considered the whole student and the impact a teacher would have.
Burruss also understood that education went beyond books. As a practical man, he expected students to be trained in both scholarly and practical manners. "Without depreciating the limitless stores of useful information bound up in printed volumes," he wrote in Prospectus, "it must also draw from the outside world, the home, the farm, the workshop, the office and the marts of trade." His broad perspective on learning would become a hallmark for the new school and a philosophy that would remain with the school throughout its first century.
A campus, students, curriculum, faculty and staff
In less than 14 months, the president, working in lockstep with an enthusiastic board, planned a campus from the ground up to accommodate 1,000 students, devised courses of study, hired a faculty and staff of 17, increased the size of the campus from the original 42 acres to 48 acres (with the purchase of an estate bordering the Newman farm), interviewed and admitted 150 students, and contracted and built two major buildings, which, 100 years later, still anchor the Quad.
On Sept. 27, 1909, President Julian Burruss opened the doors for the first student of the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg. Three days later, on Thursday, Sept. 30, classes began.
