Now that the time has actually come for you to choose your bridesmaids, what do you do if you have a friend who wrongly assumes you'll ask her to be in your bridal party? Our wedding etiquette experts are here to answer your bridesmaids questions in our daily post.
A friend of mine said something to me recently which made me realize that she's assuming she will be one of my bridesmaids. I've already decided on my attendants and don't want to add any more—how do I let her know without hurting our friendship?
Your friend's assumptions have put you in an awkward position. Maybe you were a bridesmaid at her wedding, and now she's assuming you'll ask her to be in yours, too. But regardless of the reason, she's wrong to make that assumption. The number of attendants in the wedding party is entirely up to you and your groom, and since you've already decided on your attendants, there's no reason to change anything. You could consider involving this friend in the wedding in another way—perhaps she would be great at reading a special poem or religious passage during the ceremony. Or, you may be content just to have her as a guest. Whatever you decide to do, tread lightly. While there's no guarantee that there may not be hurt feelings, here are some ways to soften your message. Speak to her privately—either in person or over the phone (not in an email or text). Express how happy you are about her excitement but explain that you're only having a certain number of attendants. You could go on to mention who your selected attendants are, but only if it would help to soften the blow. For example, it's definitely easier to hear, "Marcus and I could only ask four people, so we chose our siblings and childhood friends" than "We decided to pick four friends" with the implication that she didn't make the cut. Otherwise, simply say, "We're having a very small wedding party." If you'd like her to be a reader at the ceremony, this is the time to ask: "It would mean a lot to us if you would do a reading at the ceremony." Or, to be a guest: "Having such a supportive friend at our wedding means so much to both of us." Ask long as you're gentle with your words, she will understand.

Advances in multi-core computing have allowed far greater compute densities such that nearly all datacenter racks run out of available power far sooner than physical space. Traditional High Performance Computing (HPC) X86 clusters can consume upwards of 400W per rack unit (U), this means that a typical data center rack with a 5KW – 8KW circuit can be maxed out in as little as 1/4 or 1/2 of the available space. Many of today's forward thinking IT leaders are asking "Why can't I have both extremely dense computing and better power efficiency?"

Papi Power Stops Streak [VIDEO]
The Red Sox nightmare of a 10-game losing streak is over. David Ortiz helped the Sox erase a 5-run deficit with a 3-run home run and sac fly and the Sox beat Atlanta 8-6.
Clay Buchholz walked 8 batters in three innings of work, giving up 6 runs in the process. But the bullpen saved the day.
Check out Big Papi's blast....

Summer's Last Day at Appaman HQ
June 14, 2013 in Appaman News
Today is a bittersweet day at Appaman HQ as we bid farewell to a much beloved member of our team as she takes the next step in her career. Summer Walker, our amazing production manager, is moving on to follow her dream full time, and we would be crushed if we weren't SO DARN EXCITED for her and all the plans she has in the works. (We can't wait to spill the beans when it's time!)
Summer has been an integral part of Appaman's success over the past five years, working right along side Lynn and Harald to grow the company into what it is today. Everyone from our sales reps and boutique owners to our factories and shipping companies has worked with Summer and knows what an awesome lady she is – warm, friendly, with business savvy to boot. In addition to her professional expertise, she has grace and moxie in spades and truly epitomizes the adventurous spirit that Appaman is all about.
Appaman HQ will not be the same in Summer's absence, but we know that this is just the beginning of a long and successful career, so we're smiling.
(Plus, she promised to come hang out with us later.)
Adieu, Summer, and come back soon for another Pizza Friday!

24 Hour Push to Save Wolves from Dirty Oil
Monday, February 20, 2012
By: Robyn Carmichael
Wildlife advocates join over 800,000 Americans demanding that Congress stop the dangerous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Last week, over a period of just 24 hours, 802,120 Americans from all walks of
life united with a very important message for Congress: stop the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline.
The aim of this unprecedented effort was to generate half a
million messages in 24 hours to urge the U.S. Senate to back away from legislation
that would resurrect this dangerous project. Almost 40 national and state advocacy organizations worked together to rally their members, and you responded accordingly--surpassing
this ambitious goal in only seven hours.
The "24 Hours to Stop the Pipeline" push concluded with a delivery of your messages to U.S. Senate leadership. See more photos here.
This was not the first time we've seen such an outpouring of
opposition to this dangerous project, and it won't be the last. The threats
to wildlife and natural resources from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline--including potentially devastating toxic oil
spills on its route through endangered whooping crane habitat and the
risks to thousands of wolves that may be poisoned from expansion of
Canadian tar sands operations--have sparked an outcry from wildlife advocates across
the country.
Over the past two years, the groundswell of public opposition--from
messages and phone calls, to turnout at rallies, to letters in newspapers--helped lead to President Obama's decision in January to reject the permit. But since then,
Congress has been relentless in trying to resurrect the project--threatening the
president with "huge political consequences" and spreading misinformation. In their latest desperate ploy, some members of Congress have proposed an amendment
to the transportation bill to fast-track the Keystone XL.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this day of action a success by demanding our elected officials do the right thing. The fight to protect wildlife from dirty oil cannot be won without you.

This article is part of our special report Media freedom and innovations.
SPECIAL REPORT / The news industry is struggling with a shift to mobile, getting scant revenues as more readers turn to smartphones and tablets for information, according to new research published in April.
These are among the findings of the latest Pew Research Center's State of the News Media report, highlighting an ongoing shift in the US and European news industry landscape.
The report found that 39 of the top 50 digital news websites had more traffic from mobile devices than from desktop computers in early 2015, although researchers said people generally spend more time reading news on PCs.
Overall, the news media is seeing much of the same trend as it has over the past few years – declines in print circulation and advertising, and a rise in digital news consumption, albeit with more limited revenues, Pew found.
The continued decline in advertising revenues has coincided with digitisation and growing concentration in the media industry, which journalist unions and EU lawmakers warn could put press feedom at risk.
"Tycoons have been buying media outlets and in many countries appear to exert media control," warned the European Federation of Journalists. According to the EFJ, "new actors including Google threaten not only [threaten] media pluralism but increasingly the survival of many freelance journalists, who often only face one media employer, especially at local level".
>> Read: MEPs call for EU law to defend media pluralism
Among the bright spots for the US industry was television news, where some segments managed to gain viewers.
Pew said broadcast network newscasts boosted viewership by five percent last year, but cable news channels had another difficult year — with prime-time viewership down eight percent across the three major news channels.
Bad news for print
For newspapers, it was more bad news: daily and Sunday circulation fell another three percent in 2014.
Advertising revenue dropped four percent to $19.9 billion – less than half of what it was a decade ago.
That was only partly offset by a one percent rise in circulation revenue, which suggests rising prices for print editions and subscriptions.
Pew said that for "legacy" media like newspapers, data is not available to separate the digital-only segments at each organisation.
But the report said digital revenues "remain largely on the wish list" for news organisations, and offered no breakdown on mobile ad revenues for news properties.
The news media, however, is unlikely to get much from mobile ads since five firms – Apple, Facebook, Google, Pandora and Twitter – took in two thirds of mobile ad revenue, the report said.
Digital ad revenue across all media grew to $50.7 billion in 2014, according to eMarketer figures cited by Pew.
Mobile ad spending now accounts for 37% of all digital ad spending, with Facebook getting 24% of all display ad revenue and 37% of mobile display.
Digital 'bumps'
The Pew researchers found the digital side of the news industry is continuing to grow, but unevenly.
Large capital injections were reported by Vice News – which raised a reported $500 million last year – and Vox Media, which publishes Vox.com and The Verge, and is valued at some $380 million after its $46.5 million funding round.
Meanwhile BuzzFeed, which has been expanding with its own new capital, had to deal with "ethical questions surrounding the removal of posts that spoke negatively of key advertisers", the Pew report said.
And longtime tech journalism outlet Gigaom shut down in March, when it was unable to pay its creditors.
Pew said the number of entries in digital news are now "so numerous and varied that they are difficult to keep track of" and that "the pace of technological evolution and the multiplicity of choices… show no sign of slowing down".
The researchers said the top "digital news entity" was Yahoo-ABC News, with more than 127 million users, including 93 million who access from a mobile device.
The others in the top 10, in order, were CNN, NBC News, Huffington Post, CBS News, USA Today, BuzzFeed, The New York Times, Fox News and Mail Online. Each of the top 10 had more users on mobile than desktop.
For large newspapers, digital audience numbers far outpaces circulation. The New York Times, for example, had an average weekday print circulation of less than 650,000, while its website and apps attracted nearly 54 million visitors in January 2015.
But Pew said online visits averaged just 4.6 minutes for The NYT, indicative of the "fly-by" nature of online news.
Newspapers have done little to alleviate their financial woes.
Overall advertising revenues fell to $20 billion last year, down from a peak of $47 billion in 2005. But digital has failed to make up more than $3.5 billion of the total.
Newsroom employment was down another three percent in 2013, the latest year for which data was available, Pew said, after a six percent drop in 2012.
Long before the economic crisis struck, the media landscape was undergoing fundamental structure change. The major losers have been print publications as advertising revenue migrates to online platforms.
However, media critics say a deeper malaise has taken hold, with media cutting back on the production of original news content. In Brussels, for example, the number of journalists covering EU affairs has been shrinking.
>> Read: Brussels press corps 'shrinking', journalists say
There are fears that fewer journalists will mean powerful institutions are subjected to less scrutiny, and some advocate various forms of intervention to support journalism.
Others argue that the media is undergoing a necessary revolution and that market forces will deliver a new, equally-effective, media landscape.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Twin Cities economy is faring better than the other major metropolitan areas in the Midwest, according to new data from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
"We're showing improvement that's somewhat stronger than the nation as a whole," said Steve Hine, labor market economist at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. "We've got a somewhat higher concentration of higher-skilled employment, and that's also been a source of some of our strength and would translate into more rapid GDP growth."
Minneapolis-St. Paul's economic output grew 1.5 percent between 2008 and 2011, while Chicago, Detroit and most of the region's other big cities lost ground, according to the data.
The $207.8 billion economy of the Twin Cities accounts for about three-quarters of Minnesota's economic output. Before the downturn from 2001 to 2007, the area's economy grew at an average rate of 1.9 percent, a pace of growth to which it returned in 2011, according to the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/YJAFaU ).
The unemployment in Minneapolis-St. Paul is at 5.1 percent, compared with a national average of 7.9 percent.
Of major cities from Cleveland to Kansas City, only Milwaukee and the Twin Cities recovered the economic activity they lost in the downturn. Milwaukee's output grew 0.4 percent.
The Twin Cities benefits from the relatively high proportion of better paying jobs at big companies like 3M and Medtronic. For instance, if companies in each of three cities were to all add one employee, the city where the highest-paid workers are hired will see more economic growth than the others, Hine said.

Mothers of invention
Managing scarcity for the future
In this whitepaper, Deloitte Middle East explores several challenges facing the energy industry in the GCC. Although oil is still projected to remain the primary fuel, significant advancements in technology will cause natural gas to overtake coal as the number two fuel source.
Despite the increasing viability of renewable and alternative forms of energy, we cannot forget about oil and gas in a time when we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of energy demand. As alternative forms of energy increasingly make a case for long-term sustainable energy, the economic reality of today and the recent past dictates that oil and gas are still seen as the main sources of energy. As a result, we see that over the coming decades, demand and supply of oil and gas is forecast to continue to rise. Moreover, oil and gas will supply about 60 percent of global energy demand in 2040, up from 55 percent in 2010.
Energy sources are forecast to continue to evolve and diversify as global energy demand rises. Significant advancements in technology will cause natural gas to overtake coal as the number two fuel source. Indeed, we are already seeing a rapid rise in potential gas reserves through the shale gas revolution and most National Oil Companies (NOCs) in the Middle East have multi-billion dollar investment plans for gas exploration and production. Oil is still projected to remain the primary fuel. However, alternative sources such as nuclear, wind, solar and biofuel will take on an increasingly significant role in meeting the world's energy needs in the future.

Creating and Editing a landmark
From waze
Some landmark types have the property of suppressing traffic jams, and this may be an unintentional consequence of suppressing traffic jams on adjacent roads and highways. Therefore, best practice when creating or editing landmarks is that the landmarks should not be snapped to roads, or cover roads that are not part of the landmark.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA Structure Functional Design
Preliminary Structure Design
In order to establish a global project definition, structure engineers and naval architects need productive 3D immersive tools to complete their preliminary design, before getting into the detailed design operations. Traditionally, shipbuilding designers must take a general layout or conceptual plan and develop an initial structural scheme with parametric features for the purpose of rapid design cycles, associating class rules, stability and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
CATIA Structure Functional Design delivers a preliminary structure design application to rapidly define, capture the intent of a project and create structural elements and materials thanks to parametric design, allowing multiple design variations and iterations. It provides a set of tools to define all Decks, major Bulkheads, Plates, Stiffeners, Sections, Beams, Pillars, Braces, as well as main Openings and reinforced Edges, and allows automatic updates when parameters are changed.
Structure engineers are able to obtain early weight, material, labor and balance estimation of the structure as well as the classification drawings including conventions. They can also extract a structural mesh of the whole ship to process global Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to get required approval of the basic design.
- Rapidly capture preliminary structure project intent with productive modeling tools
- Easily and quickly experiment multiple design variations and reduce design development cycles
- Estimate your future costs
- Focus on your design with this easy to use, job oriented application
- Take advantage of high performances and data size capabilities
- Benefit from strong Knowledge capture and capitalization
Extensive modeling tools to define and create Industry standard structures elements and materialsCATIA Structure Functional Design allows you to capture all design intents for downstream applications, up to manufacturing. You can create all Decks, major Bulkheads, Plates, Stiffeners, Sections, Beams, Pillars, Braces, as well as main Openings and reinforced Edges.
Parametric approachCATIA Structure Functional Design allows you to take advantage of the full V6 parametric capabilities. Relations between objects as well as design templates are captured in order to be reused later, greatly increasing productivity.
Bill of Materials reportsYou can obtain early weight, material, labor and balance estimation of the structure, by getting a preliminary BOM, thanks to knowledgeware integration.
Classification drawings including conventionsCATIA Structure Functional Design is integrated with the Generative Drafting application that supports classification drawings. Drawings are updated along the 3D design cycle, with the possibility of updating them globally or only locally for better performances.
Project resource managementCATIA Structure Functional Design offers a centralized way to gather project resources like section catalogs, material catalog, hull geometry, knowledgeware dictionary as well as the project reference plane definition, etc. A resolved section catalog is provided as well as a standard parametric catalog along with its design table. You can also manage material Information. These catalogs enable you to capitalize your knowhow and the resource of the yard within a fully integrated PLM environment. The result is a significant increase in design productivity and standardization of design practices.
3D grid to accelerate design in contextThe easy to use 3D grid helps the user to better locate where the design should occur as well as reduces the number of errors. The addition of Project Reference Planes to the Project definition also accelerates the design process.
Take advantage of the V6 platformCATIA Structure Functional Design takes advantage of the V6 platform, enabling you to efficiently manage your data. For example, the database search by type or by query enables you to quickly and efficiently find exactly what you want to load in the authoring environment.

It would be interesting to see this sort of test in younger children (these test subjects were in their 20's) especially those with decreased working memories.
We've noticed that often when multisensory teaching is recommended, students who have trouble with this form of instruction do better if the modes of instruction (seeing, saying for instance) are presented sequentially rather than at the same time...another bottleneck. Maybe students would fare better if a slight delay were given between asking questions and teaching new information. Or perhaps new information should be presented before questions were asked? We look forward to seeing more research from this group.

Imagine a recorder made of a hollowed-out carrot, a guitar carved from celery. Using knives and drilling machines, the one-of-a-kind Vegetable Orchestra constructs their instruments entirely from fresh and dried vegetables, mimicking the sounds of everything from bass drums to airy flutes. Because the Vienna-based band works with organic materials that perish or dry out after a single performance or recording session, they must continually create and reinvent the tools of the medium.
The group currently has thirteen members. Since its inception in 1998, The Vegetable Orchestra has been dedicated to incorporating the talents of musicians, visual artists, writers, and designers, all of whom have equal say and contribute to a unique multimedia experience. The aesthetic figures prominently into the work, and the rich colors of the fresh instruments is given much thought. With their unusual instruments, orchestra hopes to draw out and make visible the vitality and potential of the natural world.
The Vegetable Orchestra travels around the world, creating immersive artistic spaces; at concerts, they play music, screen video performances, and offer audience members a fresh bowl of tasty vegetable soup that they charmingly refer to as the edible "encore." The orchestra's sound is certainly unlike anything we have ever heard. Though many instruments—like the pepper horn and the pumpkin drum— nearly replicate the sounds of familiar instruments, others sound entirely foreign. Inspired by seemingly discordant styles like house music, dub, electronic, and free jazz, the orchestra draws inspiration from diverse sources, composing syncopated pieces that are both chaotic and restrained.

Journey to Hoboken
This essay was first published in Witz, issue #4.3 (Fall 1996)
Hoboken, New Jersey is what is known in biology as a salience, a
kind of protuberance or growth with characteristics of an entity;
an appendage of Manhattan, crossing state lines. Layers of
sedimentation (technical college, gentrified commuter haven,
industrial ghetto echoing back through the decades) produce an
impacted image of America--especially for certain Russian poets,
planed over here briefly from their own continent, at the end of
May 1996, to attend a conference. A kind of empyrical model,
though not as dazzling as that Potemkin village panorama one
beholds from the campus ridge, there, across the Hudson.
* * *
Temporary bivouac in Penn Station. Heavy book-filled bags. The
directions say: "Take the PATH train to Hoboken." Shouldn't it
read, "train PATH"? Has a conspiracy of Russian syntax invaded
New York?
* * *
Huffing with my bags up college hill to Stevens Institute of
Technology. Suddenly hailed from behind by a Russian accent, a
piercing timbre. It's Irina, the blonde and druzkeskii
journalist from Astrakhan, on the Caspian Sea--recent transplant
to Hoboken. She wants to know where is Peirce Hall (pronounced,
in English, like "purse"--Charles S. Peirce, inventor of
semiotics, one and only black-sheep American philosopher, taught
here briefly before his academic casting-out. . .). Irina wrote
a dissertation in Astrakhan, on Anna Akhmatova. Her mother and
father are philologists. We xerox the conference schedule--she
serves me tea and grapes, a Crimean meal. This confab is off to
a good start. . .
* * *
What's it all about? Well, frankly, it's a conspiracy, hatched
by a cabal made up of Ed Foster, poet, editor of Talisman,
publisher of Talisman House books, and Vadim Mesyats, Russian
poet and musician currently on the humanities faculty with Foster
at Stevens. This second Festival of Russian and American Poetry
and Poets is just one cog in an ongoing multivalent cultural
hob-nob cooked up by these two, and their friends there in
Hoboken, which includes readings, lectures, films, and a number
of translation activities, including bilingual anthologies of
Russian and American poets, and a series of contemporary Russian
poetry in English translation (the first volume, by Ivan Zhdanov,
is at the presses).
The schedule of events reads like a roster of the American poetry
loft (I lean left. I mean lift), with some Russian, Chinese, and
Turkish poets thrown in for good measure. Three full days of
three-ring readings, scholarly paper-deliveries, films (on
Brodsky, Akhmatova, and a number of less well-known-in-America
Russians), two massive evening poetry songfests, a staged reading
of a parlor-piece masque by Robert Duncan (complete with stylish
Akhmatovian feathered headpieces), roundtables on translation,
the state of Russian and American poetry, little magazines,
Chernobyl and Gertrude Stein (in the same roundtable). . . and
more, and more. Here's the catalogue of ships: the Americans
include John Yau, David Shapiro, Leslie Scalapino, Eileen Myles,
Bruce Andrews, Jackson Mac Low, Juliana Spahr, Barret Watten, Ron
Silliman, Kristin Prevallet, Leonard Schwartz, David Rosenberg,
and many others I should name; the Russians include some of the
most interesting and important contemporary poets, including Lev
Rubinshtein, Elena Shvarts, Arkadii Dragomoschenko, Ilya Kutik,
Maria Maksimova, Vadim Mesyats, and Ivan Zhdanov. It's an
intense gathering--and it costs, yes, thirty-five dollars. It's a
conspiracy! Imagine all those people in one place for three
days, talking, reciting, discussing, laughing, vodkayaking,
vodkayaking etc. . .
Now I'll tell you what it all means.
* * *
At the "tail end of the 17th century", the "vast Russian
Empire"--"ancient, Orthodox", "xenophobic, hidebound"--had but one
seaport: the "little town of Archangel", on the Arctic Ocean.
Then "Peter the Great" built "St. Petersburg", modeled by himself
and "his French architect" on "Amsterdam and Venice".
Meanwhile, "America" was "colonized"; Salem had its "witch
trials", and "Anne Bradstreet". The "first American sea-going
vessel" was built in "Portland, Maine"--while Peter ("deeply,
steadfastly in love with ships and the sea") was doing the same
(while torturing and executing the "mutinous Streltsy"--an
"endless" bloodbath).
* * *
Saturday night. The endless reading in the dingy
chemistry hall, seats slanting up like some very provincial
Coliseum over the blackboards. While the Americans read, the
Russians go out into the spring night to smoke (not wanting to
offend). They are our guests--we translate their readings (as
best we can); it doesn't work the other way, unless some upstart
(like Eileen Myles) jumps out of her poems to address them
directly. But then, it doesn't have to work the other way! The
Russians, unlike us, understand us already! (They speak
Along the Coliseum aisles, Leslie Scalapino encounters Elena
Shvarts. Two shy poets, circling each other hesitantly, wary as
a pair of songbirds in the jungle of tongues.
* * *
Ivan Zhdanov. Tom Epstein, one of the few Americans here who
actually knows something about Russian poetry, calls him "one of
their best, a force of nature." He looks like a thoughtful
lumberjack, sparse jet black hair slicked down, glasses, rangy
strength. In fact, his translator, John High, looks like a
lumberjack too. Maybe they met in Alaska.
Zhdanov, like the other Russians, doesn't read. He recites.
Recites from memory. They know their poems by heart. The
Russian language has some similarities to English--it beats,
iambic, trochaic, unlike French--but the differences are also
great. English smoothness accents the rough chewing of
consonants, like a chard clarinet; whereas Russian is more like a
caged animal, a bear, trying to tame itself. Everything would be
full-throated--if the vodka-inflamed, heart-swelled throat would
only permit such a thing. . . if only a bear could sing. (But
you know this is stereotype. Russian is actually a lot like
Latin or Hindu--an oratorical, ceremonious organ-voice, given to
verbal and nonverbal festa, hilaritas.)
* * *
Jackson Mac Low and Bruce Andrews. Like father and son, a pair
of riders. "Language Poetry." Finally, I'm starting to
understand something, because I'm hearing it, out loud. These
are the angels, pouring out their vials of wrath and glee and
remorse at the apocalypse of syntax. Glee and wrath and remorse
are all that remain when the bridges to Disney World are burned,
and the enlightened conscience. . . flips: the craziness of pure
American products. But under the tongue the individuality of the
verbum replaces the commodious self, and syllables wrap around
alpha and omega of each blip with a kind of loving farewell.
* * *
It's Sunday morning, lovely. I decide to take a walk, clear my
head of the vodka and mistakes of the previous 3 am. Down
through the seemly garden-walks below campus, Hoboken. Across the
street, a shy small Russian, head down, glancing furtively from
one eye, bangs over her forehead, eating her constant cigarette
(the Russian's best friend). She's taking a walk, too. It is
Elena Shvarts.
We walk together. Finally I get a chance to talk to her (today
is the last day). She understands, speaks English.
Yesterday, during a roundtable discussion focusing on her work
(she is the most prominent contemporary poet in Russia), Shvarts
launches into a long provocative harangue (in
Russian--translated), the gist of which is, that the poetry of the
West, and especially the United States, lacks the essential
rhythmic quality of poetry--Dionysian fire, she calls it. The
Americans (including Leslie Scalapino, who's borrowed my book of
her translated poems) stir uncomfortably, shake their heads. She
reads some more poems. The moderator of this particular
roundtable never appeared. Tom Epstein does his best (and it is
very good) to fill in, giving us a brief, incisive overview of
Shvarts's labors. The roundtable breaks up--time to move on. . .
She says to me (roughly translated): Americans use the poem to
find out what they're going to say, and they take a long time
getting to it. The Russians wait until the whole poem is there,
and then they commit it to memory.
It is the difference between comedy and tragedy; opportunity and
* * *
Eileen Myles is the most Russian American poet here. Also the
most American. She speaks from herself. In spite of her
politics. Or, that is, you can't see where they divide her up.
It's all one.
What's it all about? Personism (Pessoa?)? Personalism (O'Hara?)?
Peronism (no. . .)? Eileen Myles is the only American to shout
up from the podium--hey, you Russians, where you going? (or
something to that effect) as you leave the room. . .
* * *
Let's try to be incisive too, as you leave the room. Here are two
big empire-countries, once the rivals of the earth, now like two
paired lungs or windbags (Clinton & Yeltsin) breathing heavily
out of sync almost. On either side of. . . the "old" West. The
very old West, almost as old as the East.
At a certain salience sometimes, upside Manhattan, antennae try
to touch.
* * *
Craft and personality (passion) have always been rivals,
variables. Now toss in another variable--history. Enlightened
America protects the Individual proper (properly tied), to the
"detriment" of State and Religion. Russia experiences the
reverse. In America, the Individual, so glorified, becomes
commodified; in Russia, the Individual, so abased, becomes a cog.
The old East/West yeast. . .
Modernism, experiment, avant-garde. . . these in the West mean
subsuming the Individual to Craft, for the sake of utopia.
Postmodernism, in the West, is only blurredly differentiated from
the above, a reaction. Modernism, avant-garde, etc., in Russia
mean the same thing: subsuming the Individual. Now refer back to
paragraph #1 (history). So postmodernism means. . . something
very different, in Russia. It strongly opposes modernism and the
avant-garde from beforehand. It means the tradition of the
human, the primordial, the transcendent--a utopia beyond
"utopia"--and beyond the reach of power, force, and will. Only
miracle and grace achieve utopia. This is the Russian
Everything is reducible to Futurism vs. Acmeism. Miracle and
grace have aesthetic implications.
* * *
Still--who or what is this mysterious Person, this Personality,
this Personalism? Are we to fall back into the blasted
ego-poetries of the seventies, into the nightmare of pale baby
Shakespeares, the filigree of greed and self-promotion? (Have we
even awakened yet?)
Once, in the nineteenth century, there was a Russian thinker
named Chaadev, a bold explorer, akin perhaps to Emerson. He
journeyed into the West, but then returned, called back to his
homeland by a sense of duty; bringing with him, like an unwelcome
prophet, a Western lesson--the gospel of moral freedom.
What is this moral freedom? A word, a phrase-capsule, for a
concept of the basic dignity of the human spirit--resting on the
human being's capacity to dedicate herself or himself--out of love
and piety (in its full uncanniness) and daring--to something
better, something beyond self, some One, some Other, some others.
The vanishing point where "moral" and "freedom" fuse.
Part of the artistic and identity crisis of the West has been the
fracture of the Person: the demand, the pull from both Right and
Left on behalf of either autarkic or subliminal--either nostalgic
or futuristic--concepts of justice and the good. Like mirror
images, Right and Left command our allegiance with the full force
of both rhetoric and experience.
Yet perhaps--perhaps by some strange grace, it is Russia--that
great animal, that evil empire, beyond the pale of enlightened
democracies and the full birthright of humanism--impoverished
Russia, suffering Russia, Potemkin Russia--that will return the
gift of Chaadev's moral freedom to the West. Mandelstam wrote
that in such times as these (speaking of his pyramidal, "Assyrian
age"), Man must become the hardest thing in existence, harder
than diamond. The free, loving gift-of-self is the essence of
art and the limit of artistry: but it is another step to
recognize it everywhere as an ontological fundament of reality.
Mandelstam again (trans. Robert Tracy):
It's not Rome the city that lives through the centuries
But man's place in the universal scheme.
This is the voice one hears in the strange, ceremonious finality
of Russian recitation; it is an echo, the curve of a shell, the
arch of a wave, a ghost dance, washing up in Hoboken.

i'm remembering nietzsche's credo to make oneself hard.
and i'm jealous--i've met dragomoshchenko (very gracious) and rubinstein (he read in cambridge a while ago), gandlevsky (he's not in your story, i know, but i remember him refusing to admit he'd ever read anything by dragomoshchenko).
i don't know, i think i could read for 40-50 minutes at any give time if i was asked to step up. i never am, though. it always seems a little sad to me that nobody commits the things they claim to love the most to memory, and when american poets do quote something, it always seems like a gimmick. but then, american poetry always seems like a gimmick to me, so...
thanks for putting this back out there.

JH, thank you for reading it!
I think American poets could learn a lot from just listening to the Russians read. There is definitely a connection between rhythmic accent (meter) & mnemonics. & if the poet can remember it... maybe the reader will too.
Moreover in my experience the Russians have a very different way of SAYING things (I mean the "content" of the poems). There's a different approach to intellectual statement. Musicality is not applied to blur the meaning - or camouflage the fact that the meaning is essentially blurry. Russian poetry can't seem to get away with that so easily - its audience is looking for something more pithy.
There are weaknesses, too, more pronounced in Russ. poetry than American. But I'm way over-generalizing, anyway. & the cross-fertilization between Russ. & Western styles is changing things fast, it seems.
I'm only relating some of my chance encounters with the field - others know FAR more about it, are much more inside the scene there.

Kent Eilers – I am associate professor of theology at Huntington University and teach classes in systematic theology, ethics, the Bible, and contemporary Christian thought (PhD, King's College, University of Aberdeen). My scholarship has been occupied for some time with a few ongoing projects. My doctoral research was on Wolfhart Pannenberg, and I had the good privilege of developing that work into a book, Faithful to Save: Pannenberg on God's Reconciling Action (T&T Clark). A few essays on Pannenberg have since trickled out, but I am not planning any new work on him at this point (that may change). In another direction, I worked intensely for several years on a coauthored book that explores theological retrieval, how the Christian tradition functions within contemporary theology. I am very encouraged about this book and thrilled to see it in print, Theology as Retrieval: Receiving the Past, Renewing the Church (IVP Academic). I have also just completed a project with Kyle (from this blog) on the Christian life. Sanctified by Grace: A Theology of the Christian life (T&T Clark) is an exciting collaboration and includes a stellar list of contributors (you can order it here).
Much in the vein of these latter books I am now editing an anthology on the doctrine of the Christian life from across the Christian tradition (Cascade Press). It puts theology as retrieval to work for the church's thinking about Christian existence. I will keep you posted as that book takes shape – thus far it is fascinating work! I am also (finally) in a place to write a book for my undergrad students. It will be a primer for reading theological texts, a travel guide for beginning theology students (IVP Academic). Also related to teaching, you may have noticed that for the last couple years I have blogged off and on about the relationship between the virtue tradition and pedagogy. Several posts on teaching touch on this in one way or another. If you are interested to see more, I published an essay here and a couple more essays of mine have appeared in the journal Teaching Theology and Religion.
In Theology as Retrieval: Receiving the Past, Renewing the Church my coauthor and I identify six critical areas—Scripture, theology, worship, spirituality, mission and culture—where contemporary Christians are retrieving aspects of our Christian past for life and thought today, and then we reflect on how Christians might receive, employ and transmit the treasures of their past.
"Buschart and Eilers have provided the church with an invaluable resource: a guide—a primer, one might say—for emerging theologians who recognize that the theological task is found in counterpoint between continuity and discontinuity. This kind of work requires discernment, and this is precisely what this publication will offer—a guide to effective discernment in drawing on the wisdom of the past for the theological vision and challenges of the church of tomorrow." —Gordon T. Smith, president and professor of systematic and spiritual theology, Ambrose University
Kyle Strobel – I am an assistant professor of spiritual theology at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, and a Research Fellow at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. I completed my PhD at King's College, University of Aberdeen, writing on Jonathan Edward's Trinitarian Theology of Redemption. Prior to focusing on systematic theology I spent much of my time studying philosophy, New Testament, and Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology. I have recently completed the volume Sanctified by Grace: A Theology of the Christian life with Kent, which is an introduction to systematic theology with an eye toward the Christian life (you can order it here). This volume is, as best as I can tell, unique among theology texts, as it is a shared venture in Christian dogmatics with a focus on practices that has a distinctively spiritual focus to it. I have also co-edited the volume, Reading the Christian Spiritual Classics: A Guide for Evangelicals, which provides an history, theological and interpretive approach to reading the classic texts of the Christian tradition.
My research interests revolve around spirituality and theology, method, Jonathan Edwards studies, trinitarian theology and christology. I am currently working on a multi-book project on Jonathan Edwards, which I am calling The Jonathan Edwards Project (because I like creative names), and my most recent contribution is a book entitled The Ecumenical Edwards: Jonathan Edwards and the Theologians (TF explanation here, publisher page here).
My dissertation-turned monograph is entitled Jonathan Edwards's Theology: A Reinterpretation. This volume offers a dogmatic exposition of Edwards's theology by unveiling the trinitarian architecture of his thought. Building upon this analysis, I apply my proposal to re-examine three key areas of redemption debated widely in the secondary literature: spiritual knowledge, regeneration, and religious affection.By grounding the interpretive key in Edwards's understanding of the Trinity, the book's idiosyncratic exposition of his doctrine of the Trinity serves to recast Edwards's theology in a new light.
"This book is a very significant contribution to Edwards studies. Kyle Strobel insists – rightly – that Edwards's theology is uncompromisingly theocentric, and carefully traces the ways in which the central vision of God's triunity determines the whole shape of Edwards' thought…Every student of Edwards's theology will want to read this book with care, and will find great profit in so doing." – Stephen R. Holmes, University of St. Andrews
Steve Duby – I am an online full-time faculty member at Grand Canyon University, where I teach courses on the Christian worldview. My PhD at St Mary's College, University of St Andrews focused on the doctrine of divine simplicity. I am especially interested in theology proper, including the knowledge of God, the divine perfections, and the Trinity. Other areas of interest include the doctrines of Scripture, the person and work of Christ, and salvation, along with theological prolegomena. As to theologians or historical theology, I am most interested in Thomas Aquinas, Reformed orthodoxy (not least John Owen) and Herman Bavinck.
"[S]uch is the nature of divine truth, so deep and inexhaustible the fountain of the sacred Scriptures, whence we draw it, so innumerable the salutary remedies and antidotes proposed in these to dispel all the poisons and temptations wherewith the adversary can ever attack either the minds of the pious or the peace of the church and the true doctrine, that serious and thinking men can entertain no doubt that we perform a service praise-worthy and profitable to the church of Christ, when, under the direction of 'the Spirit of wisdom and revelation', we bring forward, explain, and defend the most important and necessary articles of evangelical truth." -John Owen
Zen Hess – As of July 2017, I am the pastor at St. Peter's First Community Church in Huntington, IN. In 2016, I graduated from Duke Divinity School (Master of Theological Studies). Jessie, my wife, and I live in Huntington with our dog, Spoke. We love taking walks, reading, and playing board games. In my spare time, I like to garden, play music, and write. No, my parents weren't Buddhists. They were hippies.

November 30, 2012
Background: In 2009, 6.7% of the estimated 1.1 million persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States were youths (defined in this report as persons aged 13-24 years); more than half of youths with HIV (59.5%) were unaware of their infection.
Methods: CDC used National HIV Surveillance System data to estimate, among youths, prevalence rates of diagnosed HIV infection in 2009 and the number of new infections (incidence) in 2010. To assess the prevalence of risk factors and HIV testing among youths, CDC used the 2009 and 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System for 9th-12th grade students and the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for persons 18-24 years.
Results: Prevalence of diagnosed HIV was 69.5 per 100,000 youths at the end of 2009. Youths accounted for 12,200 (25.7%) new HIV infections in 2010. Of these, 7,000 (57.4%) were among blacks/African Americans, 2,390 (19.6%) among Hispanics/Latinos, and 2,380 (19.5%) among whites; 8,800 (72.1%) were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. The percentage of youths tested for HIV overall was 12.9% among high school students and 34.5% among those aged 18-24 years; it was lower among males than females, and lower among whites and Hispanics/Latinos than blacks/African Americans.
Conclusions: A disproportionate number of new HIV infections occurs among youths, especially blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and men who have sex with men (MSM). The percentage of youths tested for HIV, however, was low, particularly among males.
Implications for Public Health: More effort is needed to provide effective school- and community-based interventions to ensure all youths, particularly MSM, have the knowledge, skills, resources, and support necessary to avoid HIV infection. Health-care providers and public health agencies should ensure that youths are tested for HIV and have access to sexual health services, and that HIV-positive youths receive ongoing health-care and prevention services.
The risk for acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection during adolescence and early adulthood starts with initiation of sexual behavior or injection drug use, and initiation of contributing behaviors such as use of alcohol and other drugs. The prevalence of HIV in potential sex partners, the percentage of HIV-infected persons unaware of their status, and the frequency of risky sexual behaviors and injection drug use contribute to the level of risk. In 2009, youths (defined in this report as persons aged 13-24 years), who represented 21% of the U.S. population, comprised 6.7% of persons living with HIV. More than half (59.5%) were unaware of their infection, the highest for any age group.1 All persons need to understand the threat of HIV and how to prevent it.2 Youths, particularly those at highest risk, need effective school-based, school-linked, and community-based interventions3 that make them aware of their risk for HIV and help delay initiation of sexual activity, increase condom use for those who are sexually active, and decrease other behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use, that contribute to HIV risk. This report describes, among youths, 1) rates of those living with a diagnosis of HIV infection at the end of 2009, 2) the estimated number of new HIV infections in 2010, 3) the percentage that have been tested for HIV, and 4) the percentage that engage in selected risk behaviors.
To calculate prevalence per 100,000 by state among persons aged 13-24 years living with diagnosed HIV infection at the end of 2009, and the number of new HIV infections among youths by sex, race/ethnicity, and transmission category* in 2010, data from the National HIV Surveillance System were used.† To describe HIV testing and risk behaviors for persons aged 13-24 years, two data sources were required. First, two components of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System were analyzed. The 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)4 was used to estimate percentages of 9th-12th grade students (predominantly aged 14-17 years) who had ever been tested for HIV (excluding tests performed for blood donations), overall and by sex, race/ethnicity, and sexual behavior.§ To describe HIV risk behaviors among male and female students in grades 9-12 based on the sex of their sexual contacts, CDC combined additional YRBS data from 2009 and 2011 collected by 12 states and nine large urban school districts.¶ Approximately half (48.9%) of all persons aged 13-24 years living with an HIV diagnosis and reported to the National HIV Surveillance System live in these 12 states and nine cities. T-tests were used to test for statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between subgroups. Second, 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data were used to calculate the percentages of persons aged 18-24 years who had ever been tested for HIV (excluding tests performed for blood donations) overall and by sex, race/ethnicity, and HIV risk factor.**
At the end of 2009, the prevalence of persons aged 13-24 years living with an HIV diagnosis was 69.5 per 100,000, ranging by state from 2.3 to 562.8 per 100,000 population (Figure 1). Rates were higher in the South and Northeast compared with the West and Midwest.
In 2010, of the estimated 47,500 new HIV infections, 12,200 (25.7%) were among youths (10,100 [82.8%] among males and 2,100 [17.2%] among females). An estimated 7,000 (57.4%) newly infected youths were blacks/African Americans (5,600 males and 1,400 females), 2,390 (19.6%) were Hispanics/Latinos (2,100 males and 290 females), and 2,380 (19.5%) were whites (2,100 males and 280 females) (Figure 2). By transmission category, 72.1% of all new HIV infections among youths were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, 19.8% to heterosexual contact,†† 4.0% to injection drug use, and 3.7% to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use. Among females, 85.7% of infections were attributed to heterosexual contact and 12.9% to injection drug use. Among males, 87.1% of infections were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, 6.0% to heterosexual contact, 2.2% to injection drug use, and 4.5% to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use. Of the 8,800 new infections among youths attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, 4,800 (54.4%) were among blacks/African Americans, 1,900 (21.6%) among Hispanics/Latinos, and 1,800 (20.5%) among whites.
In the 12 states and nine large urban school districts, more risk behaviors were reported by male high school students who had sexual contact with males (i.e., males who had sexual contact with males only or with both males and females [MSM]) compared with males who had sexual contact only with females (Table 1). Among high school students who had had sexual contact, MSM were significantly more likely than other males to have had sexual intercourse with four or more persons during their lifetime (39.4% compared with 26.9%), and to have ever injected any illegal drug (20.4% compared with 2.9%), and were significantly less likely to report having ever been taught in school about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or HIV infection (74.6% compared with 86.3%). Currently sexually active§§ MSM were significantly more likely than currently sexually active males who had sexual contact only with females to have drunk alcohol or used drugs before last sexual intercourse (38.5% compared with 24.3%) and were significantly less likely to have used a condom during last sexual intercourse (44.3% compared with 70.2%).
In 2011, 12.9% of all 9th-12th grade students had been tested for HIV (Table 2). Of those who ever had sexual intercourse (49.2% of male and 45.6% of female high school students), 22.2% had been tested for HIV. Female students (27.2%) were significantly more likely than male students (17.6%), and black/African American students (32.0%) were significantly more likely than Hispanic/Latino (20.1%) or white (19.6%) students to have been tested for HIV. In 2010, 34.5% of persons aged 18-24 years had ever been tested for HIV (Table 3). Testing among this age group also was higher among females (45.0%) compared with males (24.1%), and higher among blacks/African Americans (53.3%) compared with Hispanics/Latinos (36.2%) or whites (29.8%).

CholangitisCholangitis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is cholangitis?
Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile duct system that is usually related to a bacterial infection. The bile duct system is the drainage system that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder into the area of the small intestine called the duodenum. The infection may occur suddenly or may be chronic.
What causes cholangitis?
There are several conditions that may trigger an infection in the bile duct system. The primary cause of cholangitis is an obstruction or blockage somewhere in the bile duct system. The blockage may be from stones, a tumor, blood clots, a narrowing that may occur after a surgical procedure, swelling of the pancreas, or from parasite invasion. Other causes include a backflow of bacteria from the small intestine, a blood infection (bacteriemia), or following a diagnostic procedure such as an endoscopic examination. The infection causes pressure to build-up in the bile duct system.
What are the symptoms of cholangitis?
Symptoms for cholangitis may be moderate to severe. The following are the most common symptoms of cholangitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Pain in the right upper quarter of the abdomen
Jaundice - yellowing of the skin and eyes
Clay-colored stools
Dark urine
Low blood pressure
Decreased level of alertness
The symptoms of cholangitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Who is at risk for cholangitis?
Cholangitis occurs more commonly in women than men. The onset is usually after age 55. Individuals who are at greater risk are those who have previously suffered from gallstones.
How is cholangitis diagnosed?
The pain associated with cholangitis often mimics gallstones. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for cholangitis may include the following:
Blood tests, including the following:
Complete blood count (CBC) - measures the white blood cells which can be elevated with an infection.
Liver function tests - a series of special blood tests that can determine if the liver is functioning properly.
Blood cultures - to determine if there is a blood infection
Cholangiography - x-ray examination of the bile ducts using an intravenous (IV) dye (contrast).
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) - a needle is introduced through the skin and into the liver where the dye (contrast) is deposited into the bile duct and the bile duct structures can be viewed by x-ray.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) - a procedure that allows the physician to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. The procedure combines x-ray and the use of an endoscope - a long, flexible, lighted tube. The scope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The physician can examine the inside of these organs and detect any abnormalities. A tube is then passed through the scope, and a dye is injected which will allow the internal organs to appear on an x-ray.
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) - uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain pictures of the bile ducts. The machine uses radio waves and magnets to scan internal organs and tissues.
Ultrasound (Also called sonography.) - a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs of the abdomen such as the liver spleen, and kidneys and to assess blood flow through various vessels.

In case you missed the previous installments, here's Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Pacifica is a small town with a good wave, but I had no idea they have such a nice skatepark. Smooth cement and pool coping all around. After we skated the park, Raven told us that the Log Shop just around the corner from the park has a sick ramp. Thanks go out to Brandon and the Log Shop for letting us skate. After we skated the ramp and got some food we were off to the city for a night time Potrero session.
Featuring: Tom Remillard, Raven Tershay, Wes Kremer, and Tyler Surrey.

Kesler powers Canucks past PredatorsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Vancouver Canucks are going home happy.
The Canucks headed back to the Pacific Northwest with three victories on a four-game road trip after a pair of third-period goals by Ryan Kesler lifted them to a 3-1 win against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
"The second half of the game, we started playing our game," coach John Tortorella said. "Our power play came through again. We won three out of four, and that's traction."
Combined with a 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday, the Canucks have back-to-back victories for the first time since winning four in a row from Oct. 22-28.
"We played well enough to win back-to-back games the last couple weeks, but it didn't happen," captain Henrik Sedin said. "We feel better about ourselves now"
Kesler broke a 1-1 tie after the Canucks (15-10-5) pressured the Predators in their own zone and Jason Garrison was able to step into a slap shot from the left point that was stopped by goaltender Marek Mazanec. The rebound caromed into a tangle of bodies in front of the net, and Kesler found the loose puck and banked a shot off Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis and into the net at 7:37.
Nashville coach Barry Trotz wasn't happy watching his team get outworked on the go-ahead goal.
"On that second goal, we lost two battles; our centers lost two battles down low," Trotz said. "In the corner and in front, we lost two battles and it wound up in our net."
Kesler added a power-play goal with 5:45 remaining, backhanding a loose puck into the net after Garrison's right-point shot was partially blocked but slid toward the front of the net.
"It's a battle. It's an all-out war out there. You've got to fight for time and space," Kesler said. "They're going to be dirty goals. That's what we got today."
Kesler leads the Canucks with 14 goals and has back-to-back two-goal games. He scored twice Sunday in a 3-2 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. Eleven of his goals have come in the Canucks' 17 road games.
"I have four goals in two games, but it's not about that," he said. "It's our team and how we compete. We've been bringing it."
The Canucks begin a five-game homestand against the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night.
Vancouver's Brad Richardson and Nashville's Colin Wilson scored 30 seconds apart in the second period.
Roberto Luongo, playing for the first time since he was hooked in the second period of a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday, stopped 30 shots in the Canucks' fourth consecutive victory against Nashville. Mazanec, named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for November earlier in the day, made 30 saves for the Predators.
"We both played patient games," Predators center Paul Gaustad said. "There were just a couple of opportunities, and they buried a couple more than us."
Nashville (13-12-3) has lost three in a row, all at home.
"Five-on-five, the first 30 minutes, I thought we were the better team," Trotz said. "Vancouver didn't have much going on, other than a power play. We had a lot of chances we didn't bury.
Neither team generated much offense in a scoreless, penalty-free first period that saw the best scoring chances crammed into the final few minutes.
Nashville's Nick Spaling stole the puck in the left corner and fed a wide-open Craig Smith in front, but Luongo stopped him from close in with 2:19 left, then managed to keep the rebound out of the net despite Smith batting away at the loose puck.
On the next shift, Kesler swatted a loose puck out of midair and off the crossbar. With 50 seconds left, Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis whipped a backhander from the slot that beat Mazanec but rang off the right post.
The Canucks outshot the Predators 18-14 in a wild second period in which two goals were scored in a half-minute span.
Richardson gave the Canucks the lead at 15:24. He was standing to the left of Mazanec when he picked up a rebound and banked it into the net off the goaltender for his sixth goal of the season.
Vancouver could not enjoy the lead for very long. Luongo stopped Roman Josi's slapper from just inside the blue line, but the puck came to Patric Hornqvist in the slot. Instead of shooting, Hornqvist drew Luongo and the defense to him, then slid the puck to his right, where Wilson was all alone and easily dunked his fifth of the season into the half-empty net.
"When they scored right away," Kesler said, "we found a way to come back and win the game, which is important."
Tortorella said defenseman Alexander Edler is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Edler played 7:28 before leaving the game.

The Benefits of Digital Noise Reduction in Fort Worth, TX
Understanding Noise
In order to understand the benefits of digital noise reduction (DNR) technology in Fort Worth, TX, we first have to understand -noise-. Noise is any unwanted disturbance in a signal. It can block, distort, change or interfere with the signal.
In signal processing it is any unwanted data that is produced as an unwanted by-product of other activities and is not used to transmit the signal. In video signals this comes across as fine static or - snow-.
For example, you are having a conversation with a friend in a crowded restaurant in Fort Worth, TX. Your conversation is the signal, or the message you want your friend to hear. Any other noise you hear at the restaurant such as music or other conversations going on around you are noise.
Like your brain filters out unwanted background noise to receive your conversation, DNR filters out any unwanted data and corrects any imperfections in the video signal.
Benefits of DNR
Digital noise reduction in action
There are several benefits to digital noise reduction (DNR). These include:
- A cleaner signal
- A more visually appealing image
- The ability to better distinguish between true motion and image noise
First, DNR delivers a cleaner signal, resulting in up to 70% disk space savings - so you can store more video evidence on your hard drive.
Next, cameras equipped with DNR technology deliver a more visually appealing image, making it easier to identify suspects.
Finally, DNR technology makes it easier for your camera to distinguish between true motion and image noise - allowing for your DVR to be more efficient in motion detection - especially in low light conditions.
How DNR Works
The chip in your camera is constantly picking up noise (fine static) in your images, especially in low-light modes. DNR technology compensates for this, correcting imperfections in the image by removing a large percentage of this noise.
When your DVR or computer is processing the video data, it must compress and save every part of the image that is moving. The less noise in your image, the less data that your DVR will save, and the more real motion your DVR will detect.

Career Advice >> Browse Articles >> Tips for Entering the Nonprofit Field
How Dating Rules Can Help You Get a Job
Treat Him Mean, Keep Him Keen
Nealeigh Mitchell | NonProfitPeople
When I lost my job, the last thing I needed was a blank social calendar and empty bed. There's only so much disappointment one girl can take. This modern-day Dorothy wanted to click her heels and have the perfect profession and pillow pal land right into her lap. Was that too much to ask? Maybe not. Monster contributing writer Nicole Williams says you can snag both with the same advice.
In her newest book, Girl on Top, Williams suggests the tactics used to land a man can also be applied effectively in the office. Can classic dating rules help you climb the career ladder? After all, the game's the same, right?
Follow Your Heart
Dating Tactic: So you have your standards. Good for you! You deserve the best and you're certainly not desperate. Someone's bound to tick all the boxes, right? But do demigods exist? Crossing off some of Mr. Right's criteria isn't asking for less. It's opening up your options.
Cubicle Tactic: In a perfect world, our job would fulfill our passions and carve a path for a life-long career. But remember, no job will match all your needs — unless you're the CEO. If you're turning down offers while putting your finances on the line, think twice. And remember, it may not be the perfect job — but it could be the perfect job for now. Each job leads to the next one.
Treat Him Mean, Keep Him Keen
Dating Tactic: Nothing kills attraction faster for men than a pushover. That constant attention men crave at the beginning mutates into clinginess down the road. Mean girls, on the other hand, put themselves first, are always up for a challenge and never bore. Why? Because they're confident in their skin. They ooze power and mystery. Guppies don't survive in the dating game. Sometimes it pays to be a shark.
Cubicle Tactic: Nice girls rarely get the corner office. While women hold more than half of all management and professional positions, they make up less than 2% of Fortune 500 CEOs. Altruism and empathy only get you so far. In this dog-eat-dog world, great leaders are tough, competitive, and assertive — traditionally masculine qualities women struggle to — but absolutely must — master.

Misogikan Dojo is a member of Renshinkai Aikido.
Renshinkai Aikido is under the auspices of 8th-dan Tsutomu Chida-Shihan, a top uchideshi of the late founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, Gozo Shioda-Sensei. Chida-Shihan is working hard to guide the next generation of leaders and teachers by instilling in them the techniques and spirit that he inherited from Gozo Shioda-Sensei.
Chida-Shihan was an uchideshi of Gozo Shioda-Sensei from 1971 and has had the longest career at the Yoshinkan Aikido Honbu. Even after the passing of Gozo Shioda-Sensei in 1994, Chida-Shihan continued his support for 13 years until December of 2007 when he retired from the Yoshinkan Honbu. Later in April of 2008, it came about that he decided to move on from the Yoshinkan organization and established the Renshinkai.
